I try to retrive an xml portion (<points><point><x>1</x></point></points>) stored in a varchar(max) column, this is my code dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
_xmlFile = dr.GetSqlString(dr.GetOrdinal("XmlJoin")).ToString();
Label1.Text = _xmlFile;
and this is what I get "12"
Maybe I missed something to get the whole XML String
Hello,
I am using datareader to retrive the varchar (max) value from the database. But it is reteriving only 8000 why ? I am not using normal varchar datatype.
Below is the sample code.
Convert.ToString(_oDr["MyVar"])
where _oDr is the datareader
MyVar is defined of type varchar (max) in the sql 2005 database.
Any help will be appreciated.
In my .NET app I have a search user control. The search control allows the user to pick a series of different data elements in order to further refine your display results. Typically I store the values select in a VarChar(5000) field in the DB. One of the items I recently incorporated into the search tool is a userID (GUID) of the person handling the customer. When I go to pass the selected value to the stored proc
objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = strCriteria;
I get: Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Guid.
Ugh! It's a string, dummy!!! I have even tried:
objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = new Guid(strCriteria).ToString();
and
objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = new Guid(strCriteria).ToString("B");
but to no avail. How can I pass this to the stored proc without regard for it being a GUID in my app?
how to execute this stored procedure to decode a varchar hexadecimal string? My SQL syntax stills have faded with the sands of time... I want to do a select * from the users table and decode the Password field (but not update) in the process.

@len int,

madhivanan asks for sample table data to avoid using a cursor. I could really use this, so here is the table
CREATE TABLE #T (

INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1.0 + 2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2', NULL

Hi,
I am having an issue with a Report in SSRS against a Sybase db.
The dataset for the report is a Sybase stored proc which is passed a parameter (varchar). When I run the proc in Sybase it runs fine, when I run it in SSRS in the data tab it runs fine, but when I try to preview the report, or run from IE after deploying it I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Query execution failed for data set 'Table_1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) Get Online Help
The given type name was unrecognized
Looks like it is an error converting the string in SSRS to a varchar in Sybase, but I don't know how to fix it.
If I create a table with an identity (int) column and the varchar column, join this to the proc and pass the int as the parameter the report works fine!! (This is not an option in production though.)
I am using SybaseASE OLE DB Provider Version 02.70.0032
Any ideas?
TIA,

Hello,
I apologise if this question has been asked before but I have searched forums and the web and have not found a solution. I am current creating a script that has a cursor that builds a sql statement to be executed e.g.
--code within cursor
SELECT '
DECLARE @Result INT
EXEC @Result = DELETE_DOCUMENT
@DocumentID = ' + STR(DocumentID) + ',
@TimeStamp =' + CAST([Timestamp] as varchar) + ',
-- CHECK RESULT AND STATUS
-- IF OK LOG IN META_BATCH ELSE LOG ERROR' AS SQL
FROM Document
The problem I am having is trying to join the timestamp column into the sql string. I have tried to cast the time stamp to a varchar but I end up with the following output for the timestamp column values
T
T€‘
T
xnÞ
T!
T"
T#
T$
T%
T&
T'
T(
T)
T*
T+
T,
instead of
0x0000000013540F1C
0x0000000013540F1E
0x0000000013540F1F
0x0000000013786EDE
0x0000000013540F21

0x0000000013540F28

0x0000000013540F2A
0x0000000013540F2B
0x0000000013540F2C
which would not allow my delete script to work correctly. So I would really appreciate some advice to a pointer to where I might find out how to convert the timestamp.
Thanks

What is the difference updating a null value to char/varchar type column
versus empty string to char/varchar type column?Which is the best to do and why?
Could anyone explain about this?
Example:
Table 1 : tCountry - Name varchar(80) nullable
Table 2 :tState - Name char(2) nullable
Table 3 :tCountryDetails - countryid,state (char(2) nullable) - May the country contain state or no state
So,when the state is not present for the country ,i have two options may be - null,''
tCountryDetails.State = '' or tCountryDetails.State = null?
how SQL 2012 would treat a literal string for a comparison similar to below. I want to ensure that the server isn't implicitly converting the value as it runs the SQL, so I'd rather change the data type in one of my tables, as unicode isn't required.
Declare @T Table (S varchar(2))
Declare @S nvarchar(255)
Insert into @T
Values ('AR'), ('AT'), ('AW')
Set @S = 'Auto Repairs'
Select *
from @T T
where case @S when 'Auto Repairs' then 'AR'
when 'Auto Target' then 'AT'
when 'Auto Wash' then 'AW' end = T.STo summarise
in the above would AR, AT and AW in the case statement be treated as a nvarchar, as that's the field the case is wrapped around, or would it be treated as a varchar, as that's what I'm comparing it to.
I'm trying to find a specific string (a name) and replace it with another inside of a VARCHAR(7000) field. Unfortunately, there are names like Ted and Ken that I'm trying to replace. I would like to leave words like Broken, admitted, etc... intact.
UPDATEtbl
SETBody = LEFT(REPLACE(tbl.Body, pm.OldFirstName, p.FirstName), 7000)
FROM Table tbl
JOIN Person p ON p.PersonID = tbl.PersonID
JOIN PersonMap pm ON pm.PersonID = p.PersonID AND LEN(pm.OldFirstName) > 2
WHEREtbl.Body LIKE '%[^a-z]'+pm.OldFirstName+'[., ]%
'The problem I'm running into is that the '[, ]%' in the LIKE excludes any record that ends with the FirstName because it is requiring either a space, comma or period after the name. Is there some way to add an empty string to the list of acceptable characters as that would cover any scenario in the data? I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.
In the SqlDbType enumeration there is no value for the new (max) types, only varchar. If Im passing a large string, it will get cut off at 8K. So how do I specify my varchar parameter as being of the max type ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have a field in a table that is varchar. The field can contain numbers or alpha characters. I have a view against this table and I am trying to sort on the output of this field and am running into some problems.
I am trying to use 'isnumeric' to determine if the field contains numbers and if so, then I am using 'convert' to change it to an integer so I can sort it properly. I am using a CASE statement but I am encountering a conversion error on the alpha characters. I am new to SQL and my syntax may be wrong.
Can anyone help please?

I'm having the following (abbreviated) stored procedure:
Code Snippet
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_SomeSmartName @SomeVariable VARCHAR AS
BEGIN SELECT COUNT(ID) AS SomeLabel, SomeField
FROM SomeTable
GROUP BY SomeField
HAVING SomeField = @SomeVariable
END
Now my problem: It doesn't seem to work if I give the @SomeParameter a string to work with, neither via SqlCommandObject nor directly in the Management Studio. The following returns zero rows:
Code Snippet
DECLARE @return_value int
EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[proc_SomeSmartName]
@SomeVariable = 'MyText'
SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_value
Funny enough, when I have the following query, it works perfectly:
Code Snippet
SELECT COUNT(ID) AS SomeLabel, SomeField
FROM SomeTable
GROUP BY SomeField
HAVING SomeField = 'MyText'
Returning one row as it should. SomeField is an NVarChar field, but I tried casting it to VarChar without any benefit, and I also supplied the parameter as NVarChar to test, both without further success. And 'MyText' does exist in the database, in both cases when I run the stored procedure and when I run the SQL statement directly.
What am I doing wrong?
I would appreciate help with retriving the ID of the last record inserted. Have spent considerable time in forums and google but can't find anything that works for me.

I have a stored procedure which returns a count of products and a limited number of rows from a query.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and calling the procedure in asp.net
The procedure is as follows
Code Snippet
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetProductsByCategoryId]
@Category VARCHAR(255),
@Range INT,
@PageIndex INT,
@NumRows INT,
@CategoryName nvarchar(255) OUTPUT,
@CategoryProductCount INT OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
/*
Get product count
*/
SELECT @CategoryProductCount=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Products LEFT JOIN tblVar on Products.ProductID = tblVar.prodidvar WHERE Products.Category=@Category AND Products.Range=@Range)
/*set row variables*/
Declare @startRowIndex INT;
set @startRowIndex =(@PageIndex * @NumRows) + 1;
/* get full list of products */
With ProductEntries as (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Products.ProductID, tblVar.idvar ASC) as Row, field1, field2
FROM Products LEFT JOIN tblVar on Products.ProductID=tblVar.prodidvar
WHERE Range=@Range
AND Category = @Category
)
/*get only needed rows */
SELECT field1, field2
FROM ProductEntries
WHERE Row Between
@startRowIndex and @startRowIndex+@NumRows-1
END
The problem seems to be with the line
AND Category = @ Category
in the query to make the ProductEntries
If I take this query and run it in an SQL pane I need to enclose the argument for @Category in single quotes.
If I try to do this in the procedure it simply searchs for @Category as a string rather than the value of @Category.
The query returns and displays results with no problems without this line, and also if it is returning a result set that has no values in tblVar to join to.
Also if I run the query on just the Products table removing the left join it will return results with no problems.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
And I apologise if it is something simple but asp and SQL Server is not my usual coding platform.
I have this sql statement in a stored procedure
SELECT @sql=@sql + '''' + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + ''' = ' + stuff(@sumfunc,charindex( '(', @sumfunc )+1, 0, ' CASE ' + @pivot + ' WHEN ' + @delim + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + @delim + ' THEN ' ) + ', ' FROM ##pivot
in the statement, where @sql is defined as DECLARE @sql varchar(Max). the problem is that this statement produces results that are in excess of 8000 characters and the results are truncated. Is there anyway to avoid this? I know that it's not possible to user ntext/text as a local variable, and if i try to return the result as an ouput paramater, only the first result is returned.
my code is based off of this article http://www.sqlteam.com/article/dynamic-cross-tabs-pivot-tables
