Hi all,
How do you put quotes in quotes so it looks like this below?
exec('select IDENT_CURRENT('table')')
Not
exec('select IDENT_CURRENT('table')')
I just don't want the middle quotes to end the initial quote..
thanks in advance..
I had a procdure in SQL 7.0 in which I am using both single quote and double quotes for string values. This proceudreused to work fine in SQL 7.0 but when I upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000, this proceudre stopped working. When I changed the double quotes to single quotes, it worked fine.
Any Idea why ??
Thanks

below is the code of my sp
it's giving my wrong result: 1 instead 0 and vice versa
could you please check what's wrong with it: i think there is something related to @var2 in the code colored in orange.
Thanks!
Code:
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_name
(
@param1 int = NULL,
@param2 int = NULL,
@Result int OUTPUT
)
AS
DECLARE @var1 AS varchar(255)
DECLARE @var2 AS varchar(255)
DECLARE @x AS varchar(1000)
IF @param1 IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SET @var1 = (
SELECT t1col1
FROM tabl1
WHERE t1col2 = @param1)
SET @var2 = ''
DECLARE crsr CURSOR FOR
SELECT t2col1 FROM tabl2 WHERE t2col2 = @var1
OPEN crsr
FETCH NEXT FROM crsr INTO @x
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @var2 = @var2 + '''' + @x + '''' + ', '
FETCH NEXT FROM crsr INTO @x
END
CLOSE crsr
DEALLOCATE crsr
SET @var2 = SUBSTRING(@var2, 1, LEN(@var2) - 1)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @var2 = (SELECT t2col1 FROM t2 WHERE tb2col3 = @param2)
SET @var2 = '''' + @var2 + ''''
END
PRINT @var2
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tabl3 WHERE t3col1 IN (@var2))
OR
EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tabl4 WHERE t4col1 IN (@var2))
BEGIN
SET @Result = 1
END
ELSE

Hi,
Your help would be appreciated if you could give me some idea about why SQL 2000 takes single quote(') as a default for string searching instead of double quotes("). I have couple of stored procedures which were developed with string comparison with double quotes in SQL 6.5. If any one knows how I can change default as a double quotes(") instead of single quote(') in SQL 2000, would be great. Thanks
This is the sql statement I have:
Code:
select * from tblCalls where TNum = [NUMBER] and Street like '[TEXT]'
The problem is that the Street field contains street names with quotes (ex. DE L'ACADIE). When I run this query using this street name, it doesn't work because of the ' between the L and the A. How can I tell SQL to "ignore" the ' in the text?
Hi,
I am creating a flat file connection to a .csv file
In the columns section of the flatt file connection manager editor, I am not sure why the texts in the .csv file are shown with double quotes arouond them.
They do not have "" in the .csv file.
Thanks
Has previous work been done on this? Is their a library one can download? Here's the problem. In an aricle a person or author may make a statement about a subject or a person. I am making a database on this.
For example, here in Israel, PM Olmert may make a statement on the teacher's strike or on Abu Mazen. The article may say, speaking of Mazen, Olmert said such and such. PM Olmert said, "xxxxxxx......." with the previous material making it clear whathe was speaking of.
Right now I have ugly code. Is there a neat way of doing this?
If this is the wrong forum, can somebody direct me to the right forum?
Thanks.

Help, please.
I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to form this SQL query. I am querying an Informix linked server and I need to pass a variable date. I am using an expression to create the query like so
"Select count(*) from " + @[User::varDBName] + ":informix.doc_tl WHERE " + @[User::varDBName] +":informix.doc_tl.d_received = {D " + @[User::varDate] +"} "
The informix query needs the date to be {D "2007-01-15"} but for the life of me, I can't get the date enclosed in quotes.
The error I get is
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "(null)". HResult: 0x80040E14
Description: "(null)"
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Hi, below is the query that i use.update user set user_description=' "+ userDesc +" ' where user_id = 1;userDesc is the value taken from a textbox and is supposed to be used with the update query.userDesc = "kad'nsad'kasnd'nak";The quotes in userDesc is affecting the update. Is there anyway to replace quotes with ' using stringbuilder?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was having some issues with converting this @BeginDate(which is passed in as a datetime) correctly and someone suggested the syntax below. It enloses it in triple single quotes. That seemed to work, but it also seems to work with single quotes too. Can someone explain the use of triple single quotes in stored procedures?
''' + CAST(@BeginDate as Varchar(30)) + '''
Help please! I have a problem with passing quotes in a parameter. I am using asp.net (vb) passing a parameter to a stored procedure.
Here is an example of the parameter I am passing from the asp page.
strIndexFilesFound = " 'file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf' "
.......Parameters("@IndexFilesFound").Value = strIndexFilesFound
And the Procedure parts
...
@IndexFilesFound char(100) = ''
....
WHERE IndexFile IN(@IndexFilesFound)
The result should be that the where query receives the data like this.
WHERE IndexFile IN ('file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf')
The number of files passed is unknown for any given query.
Much Thanks!
I have 2 SQL 6.5 databases on separate servers. Server A replicates a text field into a table on server B.
On server A the field contains text similar to THIS IS FRED'S HOUSE. After replication to Server B it looks like THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. The distribution database also has it as THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. Using ODBC trace I cannot see the value being passed in the text field as it is displayed as a question mark e.g. ?.
How do I fix the problem ?
Thanks
Hello all,
I am using SQL Server 6.5 SP5a.
I have to use bcp to import two text files everyday for database update. The problem is that some of the character fields that are being imported have double-quotes and/or commas in them. When these are imported into the SQL Server tables additional double quotes are being added into these strings.
Example:
INCOMING STRING = a"a
IMPORTED STRING = "a""a"
INCOMING STRING = b,b
IMPORTED STRING = "b,b"
I have searched through BOL and have not been able to find any information.
Does anyone know what is causing this and if so how to correct it?
Thanks,
Bryan Ziel
I`m new to sql and am having trouble with updates. I`m trying to make a web page where people can enter text and have it submitted to the database. The problem is that I need to let people submit text with quotes (single and double). When my cgi generates the sql, the quotes cause problems with the dbms (ie. in the statement:
UPDATE mytable SET thetext = `This is Joe`s text.` WHERE user = `joe`
the apostraphy in "joe`s" is interpreted as meaning the end of the string to enter into "thetext" ). I expect that there`s some escape character that I don`t know about? I know this is a very basic question, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a CSV with some columns containing quoted text with the text itself containing quotes.
I'm trying to use a Flat File Source in SSIS. I've set a double quote as the text qualifier (") and comma as the delimiter. The trouble I'm having is getting to text that contains a double quote like in the following example;
123,"xyz","Don't you hate when MS say's it's a "feature" and not a bug","more data"
SSIS is seeing the first quote as a text qualifier and the second quote as the end of the text. Because the next delimiter is not found (in this case a comma), it returns;
[staging_output [4195]] Error: The column delimiter for column "Column 3" was not found.
How I can get SSIS to treat the whole column as a single piece of text that just happens to contain quotes?
Hello Everyone!
I am having a problem with updating a password within a table. Below is the old and new password that needs to be updated.
Old2"3("-"3#@(%P="''_DD@D*
New :"I+)#]*1#E,%R-''7^,TEA$X&^O_-68DIK,@
Below is the query that I am trying to run. I believe my problem is becuase of the Single Quotes found within both the old and new password.
I have tried to escape the single quotes, @local_variable, CHAR(39) and other ways of playing with the string. I cannot seem to find a solution.
If you were to ignore the update statement, the SELECT statement would return no results even though the PRINT statement displays the required data.
This is what baffles me and why I cannot run the UPDATE statement, becuase of course, nothing would be updated since no results were returned.
Can anyone offer their assistance?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I have written a little bit of VB.NET code that basically takes three strings, transforms them, and returns a single string to be stored in my table.
I am running into a strange problem, however... for some reason, a number of my processed rows are missing a pair of double quotes (").
The vast majority of the records are formatted properly, and have the double quotes in the expected locations.
The most frustrating thing about it is that I have included the offensive input strings in my Test.sql test script, and when I step through the entire routine, the return value is perfect...
i apologize for being the worst ever at posting questions here, please let me know if i can add anything
I have a lot of data coming in from CSV files. I have many CSV files (~20), with varying amounts of data- but some are quite large (largest file is ~230mb)
I'm trying to import it into a SQL database via SSIS, but the data is a little bit frustrating.
I have data that looks like this:
"Text from vendor ""Vendor Name, Inc."" blah blah", "Next string", "", 1234
Many things to notice here - as well you can imagine some of the difficulties here.
After parsing, this data should have 4 columns-
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
Text From Vendor "Vendor Name, Inc." blah blah Next string <blank> 1234
The biggest problems stem from the double quotes mixed in with the comma because it is a comma delimited file with quotes as the text qualifier. The other problem is the double quotes with blank text ... which prevents me from doing a replace on the double quotes ... I think ...
What would be your suggestions to help me parse this out? (don't forget, some of these are large files with about 260,000 records- )
Thanks in advance,
Rob
When users enter text into a textbox, to be INSERTed into my table, SQL Server throws an error if their text contains a single quote.
For example, if they enter "It's great!" then it causes this error:Error: Incorrect syntax near 's'. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
How can I allow text with single quotes to be inserted into the table?
Here's my code:
string strInsert = "INSERT INTO [Comments] ([GameID], [UserID], [Comment]) VALUES (@GameID, @UserID, @Comment)";
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(<<myconnectionstuff>>);SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strInsert, myConnection);
myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@GameID", Request.QueryString["GameID"] );myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@UserID", (string)Session["UserID"] );myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@Comment", ThisUserCommentTextBox.Text );
try {myCommand.Connection.Open();myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();}
catch (SqlException ex) {ErrorLabel.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;}
finally {myCommand.Connection.Close();}
My code results in SQL statements like the following one - and it gives an error because of the extra single-quotes in 'it's great':
UPDATE Comments SET Comment='it's great' WHERE UserID='joe' AND GameID='503'
Here's the error I get when I try this code in SQL Server:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near 's'.Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
I need to know how I can insert a string such as 'it's great' - how do I deal with the extra quotes issue? is there a way to ecape it like this 'it/'s great' ? This doesn't seem to work.
Here's the code that generates the SQL. I'm using a FCKeditor box instead of a TextBox, but I got the same error when I was using the TextBox:
string strUpdate = "UPDATE Comments SET Comment='";strUpdate = strUpdate + FCKeditor1.Value;//strUpdate = strUpdate + ThisUserCommentTextBox.Text;strUpdate = strUpdate + "' WHERE UserID='";strUpdate = strUpdate + (string)Session["UserID"];strUpdate = strUpdate + "'";strUpdate = strUpdate + " AND GameID='";strUpdate = strUpdate + Request.QueryString["GameID"];strUpdate = strUpdate + "'";
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(...);SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strUpdate, myConnection);
try{myCommand.Connection.Open();myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();}catch (SqlException ex){ErrorLabel.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;
}finally{myCommand.Connection.Close();}
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0
