This question has been asked a lot, without a definitive answer. Can you tell me if SQL Server 2008 will support rich text. I believe the November CTP does not have this functionality. It is a pretty important decision regarding my organization's adoption of the new product.
Thank you

I currently have a simple project where we need to store paragraphs for letters that will be automatically printed and then mailed to cusomters. These letters will be created based on certain criteria.
I have the SQL database set up with two fields...the paragraphCode (which is the key) and then the paragraph. These paragraphs were originally created in Word and some of these paragraphs contain bulleting and other rich text features. I have built a small utility in ASP (using VB .Net) for our intranet to view / insert / edit these paragraphs. If a user is copying and pasting the paragraph from a Word document, what should this paragraph field's datatype be declare as? It is currently NVARCHAR(MAX).
Thanks for the information
Hey there - I have a textbox (C# 1.1 OR 2.0) that I want to take it's contents and post to a datatype of some sort in SQL2k5 and have it preserve the breaks (return keystrokes) so when the data is presented, it can hold a paragraph form. Is this possible?something like this: <asp:TextBox id="txtContent" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="10"></asp:TextBox>Right now, I'm using nvarchar(4000) as the datatype but if I were to type, say 3 paragraphs, the data returned in the datagrid I bind that data to shows only one long string of data. For the time being, I have been puttting HTML formatting tags in the content I'm posting to the DB, but ultimately don't want to have to do that. I don't want to have to use a Text Editor (like FTB or FCKeditor) if necessary because they seem very much involved for the simple need I have which is to preserve paragraph formatting.So, is there another datatype in SQL2k5 that I should be using? Or are there simple code snippets I can utilize that will recognize a carriage return as a </p><p> tag?I'm trying to migrate to 2.0 as much as possible, so any C# code would be greatly appreciated in 2.0!Thanks for your help!iSheahan

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want to execute some queries inside a stored procedure, get the data and create from them some strings with formatted parts (bold, italic, underline, different color fonts) and save them in a text field. These strings are going to be displayed in some DBRichText control in a database application built with Delphi. Is there an easy way to create these complex rtf formats in MSSQL
or some ideas regarding this problem?

Hi
(Note when I say "rich" text I don't specifically mean rich text, I'm refering to text with user defined bold, italic, numbered lists, colors, fonts, etc.)
We have a (new) system where we want a user to enter "rich" text notes into a single column using an editor embedded in our application (much like the editor I'm using for this forum) and have the notes displayed correctly in SSRS reports. We were thinking of storing the notes as HTML but I've just tried it and the report displays the whole HTML string, rather than marking up the text.
We are open to marking up the text using any mechanism, rich text, HTML, Word, etc. just as long as we can see it in the reports.
We also need to consider viewing the same notes via Crystal reports.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I was recently told SSRS does not support the ability to underline a portion of text in a sentence. Does anyone know if this is true? Couldn't "text decoration" "underline" and "span" be used to underline the web address in the sample sentence below?
"Please visit our website at: www.abc.com"
Thanks
Hi,
I€™ve been trying to add keywords to the thesaurus used for SQL Server 2005 Full Text services but do not seems to get any improved results.
For example, I have a catalogue of article titles which contains titles such as €˜CRM€™ and then some others use the words €˜Customer Relationship Management€™, the ideal solution I would have thought was SQL Servers thesaurus support, I€™ve been though and added the values:
<expansion>
<sub>customer relationship management</sub>
<sub>crm</sub>
</expansion>
to the txGlobal.xml file in the SQL Servers FTData directory, I then amended by test query to use this clause:
FORMSOF(THESAURUS,"CRM")
The idea being that when I search for CRM it will bring back articles with Customer Relationship Management also. However I€™m just getting results for the same results as for the word 'CRM' and no expansion is taking place it would seem.
Would anyone be able to clarify what the best approach to making this work would be:
Do I need to restart the SQL Server FullText service after making any changes to the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
Do I need to restart the SQL Server service after making any changes to the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
Do you need to re-populate the full text catalogues after making a change the XML files?
(Done this, no sucess)
If this syntax correct when trying to utilise the thesaurus?
CONTAINSTABLE (Article_Metadata, *, €˜FORMSOF(THESAURUS,"CRM")€™ )
(It doesn;t give any errors, just no improved results over:
CONTAINSTABLE (Article_Metadata, *, €˜"CRM"€™ )
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

SQL Server 2000 is pretty well documented with the limit of 256 (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa214780(SQL.80).aspx) but I can find no documentation anywhere that discusses the limit on SQL Server 2005.
Is there one ?
Please help !

I've just started hosting my newly created Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition web site. Unfortunately the Login group membership functions will not function correctly. Having contacted the web service hosting provider, They replied: "We do not support SQL express2005. The only way to use the extra functions of ASP.NET2 such as group membership is if it is using an SQL 2000 database to connect to. "
Is it possible to design web sites with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition that store membership details on an SQL 2000 database?
I've just paid £88 approx. $140 for a years subscription, have I chosen the wrong web service hosting provider?
Should I have designed the web site with a better web site design software tool that also makes designing membership login functionality easy, just as Microsoft Visual Web developer 2005 express edition?
Look forward to all comments?

MS states that CE does not work with ASP.Net applications 'by default'. What is needed to change this default?
Bascially, my desktop app. is configured from a browser app. (ASP.Net 2.0) and I want to use CE as the datastore for the application.
Thanks.
My documentation tells me that SQL Server Express only supports 1 gigabyte of RAM.
My computer can take 2 gigs, but I presently only have half a gig.
If I install 2 gigs on my machine, will that cause SQL Server Express to malfunction?
Or does it just mean that the extra gig will not be utilized?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm looking at an MS SQL server database and it stores city namesacross the world. All aarabic , chinese etc names are converted to the latin alphabet.I feel it is probably critical we support accents as a means todistinguish between cities that would be converted to the same Latinalphabet representation otherwise and as a matter of culturalpoliteness.Now ...... how do we do this?Use varchar? which character code page do we use?Use nvarchar? I heard a rumour that SQL server pads unused characterswith blanks and hence will use space unnecessarily.The data will be presented on sheets and emailed around the world - itwill also appear on a website.Any advice greatly appreciated - thanksOliver
