My function keeps going into a loop. The fucntion removes html tags. It works great with everything except with this one 4,363 character string. I'm not quite sure what the problem is, please advise.
Thank you.
I may have a bunch of extra declarations that dont make sense to you but they were part of my debugging...
Also don't let all the code distract you, the long string is just the value of the html tag I'm trying to replace with nothing.
Also there are a bunch of replaces before the while loop but the magic happens in the while loop.
i've assiged to @temp the only part that my html code that replace could not replace.
Every other tag I could see the function removing, it would find the beginning of the tag, end of tag, substring it and replace it. but this one it would find it substsring it and was unable to replace it and comes back with "String or binary data would be truncated." and then it loops infinetly because it keeps finding the tags it could not remove.
please help. thank you.
also.. I'm not sure if you call can see what I see but when I review this a bunch of emoticons show up? not sure why I did not pu them there, just relate them to their correspnonding code, colon uppercase P, :-# colon dash pound, colon uppercase S.
I have the following in my commandtext but it doesnt seem to replace the LanguageColumnName variable: Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("SELECT '+@LanguageColumnName+' FROM tblSports a INNER JOIN tblUsersAndSports b ON a.SportID=b.SportID " & _ "WHERE b.UserCode=@UserCode", MyConnection) cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@UserCode", UserCode)) cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@LanguageColumnName", LanguageColumnName))I have tried '+@LanguageColumnName+' and also just @LanguageColumnName but this variable isnt replaced for some reason.The value of LanguageColumnName is "de"...the funny thing is that when I just type my command like the following it DOES work..:SELECT de FROM tblSports a INNER JOIN tblUsersAndSports b ON a.SportID=b.SportID " & _ "WHERE b.UserCode=@UserCodeWhat am I doing wrong?
Dear Community,We have a problem with null-Bytes in varchar-Columns, which are nothandled correctly in our application. Therefor we try to filter themout using the Transact-SQL REPLACE function.The Problem was, that the REPLACE-function didn't behave the way weexpected.Following Example demonstrates the behavior:declare @txt varchar(512)declare @i intset @txt = 'hello ' + char(0) + 'world'print @txtset @i = 1while @i <= len(@txt)beginprint str(@i) + substring(@txt, @i, 1)set @i = @i + 1endprint 'Length: ' + str(len(@txt))print 'trying to replace null-byte:'print replace(@txt, char(0), '*')print 'replace Letter h'print replace(@txt, 'h', char(39))-- end exampleOutput:hello1h2e3l4l5o678w9o10r11l12dLength: 12trying to replace null-byte:*replace Letter h'elloThe Null-Byte replace destroys the whole string. This behavior occursonly on some of ourdatabases. The others work correctly.Is it possible that it depends on some server setting?ThanksEnno

I have a colunm in a table that has a list of email address. I want to remove a certain email address from that colunm, but it is in 54 different rows. What is the best way to do this ?
I have wriiten a query that works great in sql server but MS Access does not support EXCEPT. I have to rewrite this query using 'IN' or 'NOT IN' but can not figure it out because it must be compared on all fields. I'm sure this will require multiple subqueries because 'IN' must return only one field but I can not rap my brain around it. Could someone please help with this? Here is the 'EXCEPT' query I know works.

To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.
Hi all, I made a migration operation and when I am looking inside database I can see the <BR> tags. The question is how to write a query that replace all of this occurances of <BR> inside the colum table, with CLRF which is a new line code. Thanks in advance.

That apostrophe is killing me because the SQL keeps it as ryan's field, not ryan''s field(note the 2 apostrophes). I cannot do: REPLACE(@FieldName, ''', '''') because it's not closing the apostrophes. Is there an escape character that I can use to say only one: ' ?Would the only solution be to put: ryan''s field into the Database, and just format it properly on the output? Thanks.
Hi, I am having a situation where I need to update a column in my SQL table that contains a link to an image file. Basically ...

I have a table with a field called productname, and it has about 5000 rows, and within that about 1000 have a productname that has 'NIB' in the name, ie "My Product NIB DVD" and I have been asked to replace 'NIB' with 'New' ie "My Product New DVD" Can I do this in SQL using an Update statement? Or do I have build something in maybe asp.net to use a replace function to change the name.
I'm not sure how to use REPLACE here. The Query following REPLACE returns a string whose format is A B C D and I'm trying to convert it to 'A','B','C','D' I'm doing something wrong because query analyzer doesn't like something about the way I've written this.

Does anybody know how to search through all stored procedures (in SQL Server 2000) and find and replace text without having to open each one individually in Query Analyzer and doing so one at a time?
That would be so time consuming. I want to be able to change my table names, but I have so many stored procedures allready using the old names. To go and find each name and replacing them is a task I don't want to even try and do.
I am using MSDE. In this I have a field that contains a desciption. Prior to saving to the db, I replace all vbcrlf's to <br />'s. That works fine when displaying in HTML, but when I display it in a datagrid, I want to replace the <br />'s with vbcrlf's.
I thought I might be able to do it with a replace function in my SQL query, something like "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description". This produces an error that vbcrlf is not a fieldname. So I tried "select replace(Description, '<br />', 'xxx') as Description", and while this did not create an error, neither was the text replaced.
Am I not using the replace function correctly? Is there another way in which I might accomplish the task?
Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database=dbname" Dim CommandText As String
'Command text is greatly abreviated for this discussion. CommandText = "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description"

Dim ds As New DataSet() Dim dv as new dataview() myCommand.Fill(ds)
Can anyone tell me how to replace a single apostrophe in a record with a double apostrophe (in Query Analyzer, SQL7)? I've tried "select replace("d'","d'","d''")FROM RESORT" but it doesn't UPDATE the table.
I have a need to evaluate a parameter to use like keywords. (Not my server, so indexing is not available.) I can get the first scenario to work, but wanted to see about getting the syntax so I wouldn't have to exec the statement. If I run the first execute statement, I get three rows (accurate). If I run the second statement, I get no rows. Anybody help me out with the syntax? I've tried so many variations, I'm lost. Many thanks.
