I run a query in QA which return funny characters (suppose to be chinese characters). I try saved as CSV and open in excel, still it remain as those funny characters...
What can I do to get those output into the chinese character. It doesn't need to be in QA... but I need it in Excel.
Thanks
How do l filter out funny characters in a field like (',','@','#','"'.'/')etc And Repeating digits Like 5555555,2222,111111,00,
000000000.
Tried using the patindex but my method is too long.How do l do that ?
i query a purchase order table, there is one column called PO_No, format: LP-0245111-0004
i make following statement to query: the middle code act as my id, using it search my records, the last 4 digit used to find the last purchase order number
SqlSelectCommand2.CommandText = "SELECT PO_No FROM [PURCHASE ORDER] WHERE PO_No Like '%" & GetYearCode() & "%' ORDER BY Right(PO_No, 4) DESC"
i checked my database, last record is LP-0545381-0300
in my debuging process, surprisingly found that selected record is LP-0545381-301 !
any one hav any suggestion? ^_^
I'm looking for a way to search for return characters (CHAR (13) or CHAR(10)) in VARCHAR fields. More specifically, either a way to remove them from the result set or replace them throughout the database.
Bonus Question:
Why can't users take a minute and fix their cut and paste into the address 1 field so that address 2 is in the right field (instead of on address 1 with returns in the middle of the data)?! Sheesh!

I need a query to simply return rows where a column has less than 10characters (nvar).thanks.rjl
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a clr stored procedure that takes in 2 parameters, input xml and a query name. The stored procedure transforms the xml with a the xslt for the given query name (stored in a database). I am currently using and output parameter that is of type NVarChar(4000) to retrieve the xml in .net.
This all works fine unless the xml that is being transformed is greater than 4000 characters which will happen. Are there any ways of returning a string/xml greater than 4000 characters (in the region of 60-70k characters).
Thanks for your help

I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
But I have discovered that the following
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('£')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
Thanks for looking at this.

Ok a network tech put an executive assistants database on sql with the upsize wizard in access. Only problem is that she cant input anything into the database, my guess is that its due to no Primary key in the new sql table. I have had this problem before am I correct in my assumptions???

Hi,In order to establish a security enhanced SQL server setup, I triedto switch off network access by disabling all networking protocols,so that the server can only be reached through a pipe. Neverthelessthe server was visible in the network and could be accessed fromall clients. Does anybody know what is going on here?Georg
View 1 Replies View RelatedI specified configuration like shown below
"select * from table where id<>***" always doesn't work
however i changed that like
"id != ***" working!
Who can tell me why?
This sure looks like a bug, but I'm still new...
First I create a simple database:
SqlCeEngine eng = new SqlCeEngine(@"Data Source=My Documents est.sdf");
eng.CreateDatabase();
eng.Dispose();
Then I put something in it:
SqlCeConnection conn = new SqlCeConnection(@"Data Source=My Documents est.sdf");
SqlCeCommand cmd = new SqlCeCommand("CREATE TABLE myTable (ID int, name nchar(10))");
cmd.Connection=conn;
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText="INSERT INTO myTable (ID, name) VALUES (1,'bill')";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Then I try to get the maximum value from the first column.
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT max(ID) FROM myTable";
int index = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
At this point I get an InvalidCastException raised. Using the datareader to extract the value produces the same exception, however I can go through the Query Analyzer on the device and execute the query and it comes out fine...???
This has really got me confused. Any thoughts?
Can any one please help explain why this error has happened, it is not a normal error of SSIS,
"SSIS Debug host has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
It has 2 buttons Debug and Close, this error happened in the middle of a script task.
I am getting a new server online at a customer, and our system shows very funny erorrs under full load. No explanations could be found. Anyone has some?
Here we go:
Server failed to resume the transaction, desc: 360000054a. The transaction active in this session has been committed or aborted by another session.,
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
and
New request is not allowed to start because it should come with valid transaction descriptor.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException
I am a little lost on those. Simple fact is that I do not find any description of those. Anyone an idea what causes these?
On the bills that our system generates there is a comments field that users fillout. We have occasional problems with special characters in the text messing up the validation code. Does anyone know of a query that can identify special characters in a text field? Like carriage returns, tabs, etc.?

Hello, I am trying to filter out any accented characters from a field in a select statement. I want to keep the accented version in the database, but have it convert when exporting.
Here is a sample of the php code that I used to use to accomplish this...
Code:
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[àâäåãáÂÄÀÅÃÁæÆ]", "a", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[çÇ]", "c", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[éèêëÉÊËÈ]", "e", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[ïîìíÏÎÌÍ]", "i", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[ñÑ]", "n", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[öôóòõÓÔÖÒÕ]", "o", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[ùûüúÜÛÙÚ]", "u", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[ÿ]", "y", $shipfirstname);
So far, I have this sql code, but I will have to use a number of nested REPLACE statements to accomplish the same thing.
Code:
(SELECT REPLACE(ShipFirstName, 'à', 'a'))AS ShipFirstName,
Does anyone know an easier way to filter out these characters?
Hi,
I have a MDX query which is of an aprox length of 10000 characters. I
have to execute the query from within the stored procedure in sql. To
run this query I use the openrowset method.
If the length of my query is less than 8000 characters my query
executes perfectly, but the moment it exceeds 8000 characters it stop
working. Please suggest a solution for the same.
Sample Code:
declare @mdxqry varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)
set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '
set @mdxqry = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
' +
'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '
set @mdxqry = @mdxqry +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''
set @mdxqry = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'
exec(@mdxqry)
I have already tried splitting my query into smalled chunks and
executing it, but still I face the same problem.
This is how I have Done it:
declare @mdxqry1 varchar(8000)
declare @mdxqry2 varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)
set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '
set @mdxqry1 = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
'
set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '
set @mdxqry2 = @mdxqry2 +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''
set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial

exec(@mdxqry1 + @mdxqry2)

Hi!
The product description table contains a field,
long_desc varchar(8000). Is there any way to get the entire description? The query, 'select long_desc from product_desc' always truncates characters more than 255 characters long. Even exporting the data to an Excel spreadsheet using DTS does the same thing.
Thank you

I'm comparing two tables and need to compare the first 8 characters of one field in table A to the first 8 characters in another field in table B.
So instead of where 'John Smith' = 'John Smith' it would compare where 'John Smi' = 'John Smi'
I know I've done this before but can't find a good reference.
It's something like this when calling a query within a WHILE loop:
SELECT * FROM blah WHERE FID = '".$row['FID']."' AND LEFT('TRACK', 8) = LEFT('".$row['TRACK']."',8)
Am I close? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I am populating a dataset in .net with output from sql 2005 database. One of the columns in the table is a 'varchar(max)' type. This dataset is then converted to XML using WriteXml and written to a .xml document. But due to the presence of invalid characters, this process errors out.
Is there any way using which these invalid characters can be replaced at the database level itself when querying on the table?
The error that is produced is as follows:
' ', hexadecimal value 0x1C, is an invalid character. Line 32201, position 924.
Thanks,

i've worked with SQL Databases for years now, but never needed to deal with international characters. Â I am trying to search strings like surname in a column that might have international letters/characters, such as:
select * from [dbo].[User] where LastName like '%HekimoÄŸlu%'
It doesn't retrieves anything. Â I've googled for while in a hope to find some solution quickly, but to my surprise I couldn't. how to query string columns that include international characters such as above.I am using SQL Server 2012, Nvarchar(100) for column.
In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks
Hi
First interaction to the forum.
My Query is :
I had a User Management module in my application where I created a user with name
`~!@#$@%^&*()[_]+|}{":?><-=[[]];',./
Now I have a functionality to search for the user existing. For that give the search string or a single character and it finds out all the records containing the character.
How do I go about it as the SP i created for it gives correct results except the following
1. Search for % - Gives all record
2. Search for _ - Gives all records
3. Search for [ - Gives NO record
4. Search for the whole string - Gives NO Record
I handeled a few issues
1. replaced [ by [[]
2. replaced _ by [_]
So issues 2 & 3 are resolved.
Tried replacing % by [%] but did not work
Could someone plz help
Thanks in advance

Basically, I'm trying to upload data from one system to another and the system which is receiving data is throwing error after loading few records. On further investigation I found out that the failing records has bad characters embedded. I was wondering if there is way to find out all the bad characters (special characters) in a table. I'm using MSSQL Server 2005 version. Tried using RegGenExpression but no luck.

Hello friends,
I am inserting non-english strings into my database table from my java program.
Code Snippet
sql = "insert into static_string1 values (?)";
PreparedStatement statement=connection.prepareStatement(sql);
statement.setString(1,statString);
where, statString is a string variable containing Hebrew characters.
Till here, my code works fine. i.e, Hebrew characters are properly inserted to the database.
The problem is when I try to retrieve the String_Id based upon the statString I inserted to the table static_string1.
Code Snippet
String sql = "select String_Id from Static_String1 where String like ('" + statString +"')";
Statement statement=connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=statement.executeQuery(sql);
rs.next();
int stringId=rs.getInt("String_Id");
I tried hardcoding the string in the query and to execute it from the SQL Server Management Studio as below
Code Snippetselect String_Id from Static_String1 where String like( ' ×”×–×—' );
But even this is returning null rows, even though the entry is present in the table Please help me out asap.
Please pardon me if this is not the right section to post my doubt. I didnt find any other relevant section here.
query that checks to see if a variable contains special characters; except for hyphens, periods, and accents?

I'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.
I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use
tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc
tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName
tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)
They are related in a table called
tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID
One contact can be related to many subgroups.
What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName1, SubGroupName2, SubGroupName3]
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName1, SubGroupName3]
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName3]
I'm sure there's a simple solution to this, but I can't find it. Any help appreciated. :)

I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.
===========Earlier post==================
This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry.
In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields.
This is then passed to a sql query.
This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.
I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

Hi,
I got a problem.
I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version.
And I created a Compact database.
I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form.
then, i run the following sql:
Select * from Table1
It returned 3 records to me.
After that, I used program to insert record into this table.
Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records.
I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.
Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right?
Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?
Thanks a lot!
And Merry X'max!!!
