SQL Datasource And 'Apostrophes'
Jan 2, 2008
I am using a SQLDatasource to populate a dataview as illustrated below. I run into a problem when I search for a "LastName" that includes an (') Apostrophe ( e.g. O'Reilly) . Searchin for the whole name there is no problem, but when I search for simply O, or O' I get errors.
I am not sure ...when to address names with an apostrophe...
1) On insertion to the database (using a "Replace(LastName, "'", "''")
2) or after they have been entered and they are to be searched for.
If scenario 1, can anyone provide the best way to do this...
If scenario 2, how would that be worked into the SQL Datasource code below....
I have tried several variations with the times SQL Datasource to no avail....
I would appreciate any help !
Thanks !
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ClinicTest2ConnectionString1 %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [PatientID], [Accession], [FirstName], [LastName], [Address1], [City], [strddlPatientState], [ZIP], [DOB] FROM [ClinicalPatient] WHERE [LastName] LIKE @LastName ORDER BY [LastName],[FirstName]ASC">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="LastName" QueryStringField="NameSearch_Result" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Hello,
could someone help with this query in a stored proc.?
SET @SQL = 'SET ''' + @avgwgt + ''' = '
'(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN (' + @cagearray + ')
and ItemDate =''' + CONVERT(varchar(23),@startdate) + ''')'
EXEC @SQL
I'm trying to get an average value across dynamically selected rows. (I'm using a list array to deliver the selection to the stored proc). I need to re-use the average value within the procedure,so it's not enough to output it as a column of the resultset - EG. 'Select AVG(AverageWeight) as AvgWgt' . If I take out the @avgwgt line it works fine, but otherwise I'm getting this error:
"Incorrect syntax near '(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN ('."
It may be that I can access a column of the resultset in the rest of the procedure, and that would help avoid the use of pesky apostrophes, but I don't know how to do it.

I've tried everything I can think of to find all the records in a table column (lastname) that contain an apostrophe. I know they are there (O'Brian, D'Marcus, etc.) However, I keep getting syntax errors.
Could someone PLEASE help?!!

I am currently migrating our Intranet from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server2000 and have hit a problem with one of the applications. Theapplication in question executes the folloiwing query against thedatabase:select * from employee where emp_id = 760In SQL Server 7 this works without a problem, however, in SQL server2k the following error is returned:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Syntax error convertingthe varchar value 'Con25' to a column of data type int.This is clearly because the column emp_id is a varchar, I understandthat this code has not exactly followed best practices but do not wantto have to trawl through the application and surround all instanceswith apostrophes.Is it possible to make SQL 2k act in the same way as SQL 7 or will Ihave to trawl through the code and correct the SQL statements.Thanks for any help.John

After creating an IN clause from a bunch of character strings created by aWord macro, Query Analyzer complains about a syntax error. The macro takes acolumn full of character strings and wraps apostrophes (single-quotes)around each string and adds a comma to the end of each line, ready to pasteinto a Query Analyzer session. The problem is that Query Analyzer doesn'trecognize the MS-Word apostrophes. It has nothing to do with the standardapostrophe/quote problems that some people face when dealing with embeddedquotes.Can anyone suggest how to produce single-quote characters in MS-Word thatQuery Analyzer understands?Thank you.

Hi I have an asp.net 2.0, web app with a sql 2000 db. I am having a problem when users cut and past content from Word and Excel and past it into a textbox apostrophes are replaced as question marks when saved to db. I have set the following line in my web.config which did not resolve the problem<globalization requestEncoding="iso-8859-1" responseEncoding="iso-8859-1" fileEncoding="iso-8859-1" culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB"/> I have also read many posts, but have not found a resolutionhttp://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=124609I cant do a find and replace of the character before insertion into DB, as this would involve visiting over 90 pages and changing every insert statement. Is there a way I a can force my sql server to only allow characters in a certain format, eg iso-8859-1 to resolve this problem Please help somebody must have a resolutionMany thanks in advance

When we insert text into field in a table, SQL SERVER apparentlyreplaces apostrophes with question marks -- is there a way to not havethis occur? We don't have this happen with the mySQL databases thatwe also support.Much help appreciated.

I work with both Oracle and SQL Server databases (most of the time Oracle) and I was wondering if there is a function that allows ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted into the database. Oracle has a function called SET DEFINE OFF and that allows for ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted without giving me an error. Is there something similar in SQL Server? I'm migrating some data and quite few rows have ampersands and apostrophes.

Hi.
I have an update statement that accepts
a user's text input. problem is that the string
terminates the sql update statement if there is
an apostrophe in it. so, headline='i like my brother's car"
willl terminate after "brother". "s car" is read as sql.
how is this resolved?
Code:
Dim MyCmd2 As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF " & _
"UPDATE EditProfile " & _
"SET headline='"+ Me.tb_headline.Value+"', about_me='"+ Me.ta_aboutme.Value+"', edit_date='"+System.DateTime.Now.ToString+"' WHERE email_address='"+Context.User.Identity.Name.ToString+"' " & _
"SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON ", MyConn)

Here is my problem:-
declare @test as varchar(32)
declare @test2 as varchar(32)
set @test='today''s problem'
set @test2='my <string> '
select @test as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
select @test2 as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
I want for xml path to correctly encode the single apostrophe as &apos but the single apostrophe doesn't get encoded. In the second example the greater and less than does get encoded.

I working on a form using an SQL DataSource. I am going to add a where clause. In that where clause a value from a label will be passed from the user.
How do I pass to the HTML Source the label value from the where clause. The value can change from user to user.
Sample below:
SELECT [KeyRolesID], [KeyRolesDesc] FROM [KeyRoles] WHERE ([JobCodeFamily] = @JobCodeFamily).
I want to replace the @JobCodeFamily which is currently coded with a value from the Sql DataSource in the design form with a label value entered by the user.

Hi All,
I have a question about the datasource that we create on the Report Manager. What is it used for? In the below connection string which is given in the "Connection String" text box of a datasource link:
"Data Source=ProdServer;Initial Catalog=Northwind"
What is this datasource used for? Is it used only to use the ReportServer database or even our queries incorporated in the RDL files will be run against this datasource? I think the latter should not happen because while creating RDL files also, we provide a connection string to run the stored procedures against that datasource.
Please let me know about the same.
Thanks a lot and let me know if the question is not clear.
Manoj Deshpande.

I have this web store that I have been creating. When a customer goes to check out, he has to log in, then he is redirected to a page where he can view/add/or edit shipping and billing address. I have based all the sql statements on the profile username, adding records and retrieving them works just fine. When I go to change something in the info it uses an sql statement that updates based on "Where AccountUserName = @AccountUserName", I have @AccountUserName set to Profile("Username"). Keep in mind this works fine for adding new or bring up current records. I even put in code in the updated event for the sql data source to post a msgbox telling me how many rows were affected, it says 1 even though I dont see any change in the data. What am I doing wrong here, it's driving me nuts, its just a very simple update.

My god.All I want to do is post the contents of a web form to a database sql express 2005 or access using C#. Why can I find nothing for this very simple process online?Can you tell I am totally frustrated? So lets say i have a few text fields and I want to click submit and have that entered into a table. I use C# for code behind. So I can do basic C# programming and I can to webforms with visual web developer 2005 dragging and dropping for textboxs and a button to the aspx page. But then the mystery begins for me. How the hell do I simple post that form data to the table. I understand connection string basics. I aslo can design and create tables. But tying this all together is becoming a problem. I don't want to use gridview formview detailview or any of that canned UI stuff. I also don't understand VB and when I see VB examples they only cloud my already cloud ASP.NET world. Please help by posting examples, and maybe some links or books to add to my newbish collection. Thanks,Frank

Hi there,
I'm using a Repeater at the moment which is bound to a SQLDataSource. I expect much load on that Website, should I choose another DataSource? Which other DataSource is better if it's about Performance?
I read some stuff about the SQLAdapter and a DataSet.. is that better in performance? Why is it better?
What about LinQ?
Thanks a lot for any clarification.

I have a single variable to be utilitized in my SQL Where clause...
Select *FROM projectsWhere project_id = @id
How do I use this c# variable in the datasource?
string TableID; TableID = "192.AB";
I know this is simple, but I figured I'd ask. I don't want to do a work around , like a hidden textbox with the value assigned, and then link the datasource to the tb control, seems extremely hackish.

Hi
When I try to configure a SQL datasource and I use a Microsoft SQL Server datasource I get a blank drop down list for server name. My aspnetdb is available in SQL Server 2005 and I can log into it through management studio, and the service is started. I am also using Vista Ultimate.
Is there any other configuration I need to do for Visual Studio 2008 to see the SQL Server instance?
Thanks

I have a simple form that accepts a zip code and a city when the submit button is hit this is triggered...
Protected Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
Dim Zip, City As String
Zip = txtZip.Text
City = txtCity.Text
grdZipCodes.DataSourceID = "ZipSearch"
ZipSearch.SelectParameters("ZipCode").DefaultValue = Zip
ZipSearch.SelectParameters("City").DefaultValue = City
grdZipCodes.DataBind()
End Sub
This is supposed to populate a gridview with filtered data. Instead I get nothing, even though in query analyzer if I dont provide a city or a state all results are returned. Is there a reason my gridview is not populating.
this is what my SQL Datasource is :
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="ZipSearch" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:something%>" SelectCommand="ZipCodesSearch_s" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="ZipCode" Type="string" Direction=input />
<asp:Parameter Name="City" Type="string" Direction=input />
</SelectParameters>

Hi All,
I am using SSRS 2005 (Report Designer), and in 1 of the Report, I have a Report Parameter for example say IMask (Dropdown List), which I am populating by values from the following XML file (Imask.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<REPORTCONFIG>
<INVALIDMASK>
<INDEX>0</INDEX>
<IMASK>00000000</IMASK>
<DESC>Custom Created</DESC>
</INVALIDMASK>
<INVALIDMASK>
<INDEX>1</INDEX>
<IMASK>FFFFFFFF</IMASK>
<DESC>Custom Created1</DESC>
</INVALIDMASK>
</REPORTCONFIG>
I have created a XML DataSet whose DataSource is of €śType : XML€śand get the values from the above mentioned XML file by using following XML query :
REPORTCONFIG {}/ INVALIDMASK
The Result of the above XML query is:
INDEX | IMASK | DESC
--------------------------------------------------------------
0 00000000 Custom Created
1 FFFFFFFF Custom Created1
Now, the report Parameter (IMask) which is a DDL has
€śvalue field€?= IMASK and €ślabel field€?= DESC
So far so good, but what I really want :
1) in case of label field is something like this:
€ślabel field€?= IMASK : DESC (for eg; 00000000 : Custom Created 1)
2) If no nodes(<INVALIDMASK>) are present in the XML file, I get no results when the above XML query is fired. So, Is there any way of getting the count of rows returned by XML query.
And in case of no rows I want my Report Parameter (IMask) to have
€śvalue field€?= NONE and €ślabel field€?= NONE
Regards,
abhi_viking
