Hey all --
Does anyone know if a sprocs parameter has a size limit? For example if you're passing in a XML document to a sproc - could that call fail based upon the size of the XML document? Consider memory a non-issue.
Hi, All,I came cross a problem like this.Cannot create a row of size which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060 Is there any method to solve this ?

Hi.
I have a service on a server which contains Sql Server Express.
this service adds documents to the database to allow full text search features.
From some reason, the index crashes and than it writes to the ErrorLog file, the errorlog jumps to 20GB(!) causing the server to crash.
How can :
1. limit the size of the error log.
2. find out why the log jumps to this size (I can't open the error log file ofcourse...)
Thanks!
I create an sql string as so, add parameters to it and execute it:
string cmdstr = "INSERT INTO locations(id1, id2, companyname, address, city, province, postalcode, phonenumber, faxnumber, contact, contactemail) VALUES (@id1,@id2,@companyname,@address,@city,@province,@postalcode,@phonenumber,@faxnumber,@contact,@contactemail)";
SqlCommand sqlCmd = GetCommandSQL(cmdstr);
sqlCmd.CommandTimeout = TimeOut;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@id1", SqlDbType.Int).Value = itID;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@id2", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Convert.ToInt32(ddlDPCLocation.SelectedValue);
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@companyname", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbCompanyName")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@address", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbAddress")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@city", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbCity")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@province", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbProvince")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@postalcode", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbPostalCode")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@phonenumber", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbPhoneNumber")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@faxnumber", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbFaxNumber")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@contact", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbContact")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@contactemail", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbContactEmail")).Text;
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
for testing purposes ive added the max text in each textbox area, so each textbox has 50 characters or so
and i get an error message as follows, when executing the query:

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are attempting to improve our merge replication process between our SQL Server 2005 server and SqlCe Mobile 3 client by switching to Data Partitions. We are using IIS as a proxy to SQL Server 2005 running on a different box using a DOMAIN account.
We've setup row filters to use HOST_NAME() and have set the option "Automatically define a partition and generate a snapshot if needed when a new Subscriber tries to synchronize" to true in the Data Partitions options under the publication's properties in SQL server management studio.
If I use a .HostName value of "1234", everything works fine. A subdirectory is created under a our publication's folder in the shared replication directory that relates to the host_name. Data is copied to the device and can be observed through query analyzer that the data is in fact filtered properly.
However, when using a .HostName based on the GetDeviceUniqueID (which results in '3D321F7212B2AD2CC824954662B9023441BB2D20'), replication works sometimes and sometimes fails with "The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have ben unable to create or write to the message file. [etc]". The final HRESULT is 80045017.
While this error indicates a permission problem, there were no permission problems when creating the "1234" partition. In researching the problem, I ran across KB905395 which states:
Limitations on the HostName property and the Subscriber-requested snapshotIf you try to initialize a SQL Server Mobile Edition subscription by using a filtered HostName property, initialization fails. This problem occurs when the value that is supplied for the HostName
property contains more than 12 characters. To work around this problem,
disable Subscriber-requested snapshot delivery at the Publisher. You
can also use a value for the HostName property that contains fewer than 12 characters.
====
This seems to be consistent with what we've observed (which actually led to the "1234" test). Does anyone know if a fix for this exists? Has anyone else run across this issue? I saw a previous post from March that did, but never got resolved. However, the KB article above was posted in March - hmmm...
This is an existing application and filtering based on the device's id is ingrained in the application. Changing it now would be large undertaking.

One of our database is approaching the gigabyte size. I know that microsoft claims to support terabyte databases with sql server 7.0. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the max size of database they have used on an OLTP site without running into problems. ofcourse with SQL Server.

I am so frustrated, I have upsized a data base from access to sql 6.5 and now had to clip data to fit into a 255 field? I have been looking for weeks to find a solution for this.
I am writing a discussion board very much like this one and need the message text to hold more than 255 chars. I have tried to create a table with a blob and text, The text will not allow me to specify the size when creating from a script (ASP) using create table. If I dont specify a size, it creates it as 16?
Been working on this for several weeks and cannot locate anyone that can answer this question, I want to create a column that will hold more than 255 chars.
IS there something in Sql 6.5 that I need to set to allow more than 255 on a text field? What am I doing wrong?
Please respond. Thank you.

Hi,

Before I tell the 'OK', I was wondering if there is any limit to the length of rows when using a DTS .txt source.
Anyone know?

Hi all.
On the MS website (at this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/overview/default.asp) it says that the Standard edition of SQL Server 2000 has a database size limit of 1,048,516 terabytes.
Talking to a friend, he tells me this is not true, and that it has a database size limit of 12gb.
Is Microsofts site incorrect, or is my friend lost?
Cheers! :-)
Hi,
I have 2 questions:
Is there any way of getting around the 128MB file size limit when creating and adding SSEv databases to VS2005? Currently I get the following error when trying to connect to a database:"The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only...". This after I altered the app.config file to "...Max Database Size=600;..."
Have anyone tried to use SSEv to cache data with the use of the Smart Application Offline Building Block? Is there a provider I can use for doing this?
Thanks in advance!
I have a report subscription this is generating PDF files. The end user of the PDF files requires these files to be below a certain threshold in file size. Is there any way to set up a subscription to generate files that are under the threshold size?
If I knew approximately how many records would generate a report below the threshold, is there a way to generate several reports all of which are below the threshold?
Thanks.
Okay, I know the maximum size limit on a database in SQL 2005 Express is 4GB, but what happens when you exceed that limit? I can't seem to find much info on that topic. What kind of error return would you get from a stored procedure attempting to do an insert that will exceed the 4GB limitation? Also what factors go into that maximum size, factors that might not be completely obvious of course?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anybody encountered a physical size limit for a sql server 2000 transaction log running on win2k?
Transaction log reached ~6Gb before rolling back the delete stating transaction log was full. There was 42Gb free on the server and the log was set to unlimited growth.
Why is there a limit of 8000 bytes on CLR Extension user defined types in SQl Server 2005?
We now have varchar(max), varbinary(max) and XML data types that are unlimited in size, byt UDT's are limited to 8000 bytes!.
This limitation is ruining a key project of mine!
Any ideas that MS may lift this limit?

I was working on the SSRS Report Designer and was trying to copy and paste a huge SQL query from SQL Management Studio (like I always do) to the dataset window.
This method usually works, but for this extremely long SQL query with nested SELECTs and JOINs, it seems as though the Report Designer dataset query window limits the number of characters including carriage returns I can input in it.
When I paste my SQL query from SQL Management Studio, it seems to paste only three quarters of the query, and thereafter I am not able to manually key in anything else or even make a line feed in the dataset query window.
Is there a limit to the number of characters I can key in here ? If so, is there any workarounds or configurations I can try ?

Hi,I am new to SQL express and try to solve the 4GB size limitation.Is there a possibility to create a new database file every time I getto the limit?How can I do that with C#? how can I create new database file everytime it gets full?Can I be connected to two database files at the same time (the full dband the new db)?thanks in advance,oren
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I'm using c# with a tableadapter to call stored procedures. I'm running into a problem where if I have over a certain byte size or number of parameters being passed into my stored proc I get an exception that reads: "Cannot evaluate expression because a thread is stopped at a point where garbage collection is impossible, possibly because the code is optimized." If I remove one parameter, the problem goes away. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks,Mark
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I€™m trying to create a VERY wide table, with 1,000 columns of type varchar(MAX), nullable.
The CREATE TABLE statement (both in SQL 2005 & 2008), gives the following warning:
Warning: The table "WIDE_TABLE" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit.
When I insert data into the table, filling all columns with small, 10-byte string values, I get the following error:
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_pivot, Line 118
Cannot create a row of size 15034 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.
I€™d like to verify this observation: each row is created with 2000 bytes of offset data (2 byte * 1000 columns), 125 bytes for null bitmap (1000 columns / 8 bits) and some more €śwasted€? row information. This leaves less than 6K for the data itself. But since not all columns can fit within the page, forwarding pointers in the row need to be created, 24 byte per column, which very quickly add up to more than 8K, thus the error. So the 8K limit is met for much less columns than the max 1024 column restriction.
Furthermore, in SQL 2008, SPARSE columns will not solve the problem (maybe save some €śmetadata€? space in case the columns are null, but if not, I€™m with the same problem again, or even worse, since now each value takes more storage space. The max 30,000 columns in 2008 is only for cases where the column values are really sparse€¦
Is this the right observation? if so, is there a workaround besides splitting to multiple tables?
Thanks,
Aviv.
I have a SSIS package that opens an xml file, puts the contents into a string, then runs a stored procedure that dumps it into an xml column in a table. One of the xml files is huge. Putting the data into a ssis string causes an error. The length of the string variable is 58,231,886. The file will only get bigger.
How else can I get this data into a SQL Server XML field.
Hi,I have a .NET application that I want to save the Config.EXE contentsto my SQL database for remote review/testing. This config file is3700+ bytes long. I created a field in one of my tables with a VARCHAR4800 and then created a stored procedure that receives a parameter(also VARCHAR(4800).However it fails to write anything if the length of the value that Ipass is anything greater than 900. If I pass exactly 900 characters orless - the data is written to the field. If I pass 901 characters Iget nothing.I'm suspicious since it is exactly 900. I seriously doubt it's somelimitation of MS-SQL so I need a nudge in the right direction.Thanks

Anyone know if it is possible to limit the number of selections in a multi value parameter? Eg: There are 50 values in the drop down combo, but I want the user to be able to select a maximum of 10?

I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.
===========Earlier post==================
This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry.
In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields.
This is then passed to a sql query.
This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.
I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.

I am a newbie to SQL Server.
I have a problem, in filtering the records returned by a query.
I have a table which contains 1 million records, it has a user defined primary key which is of character type.
The problem is i need to filter the output of a select query on the table based on two parameters i send to that query.
The first parameter will be the starting row number and the second one is the ending row number.
I need a procedure to do this.
For Eg:
MyProc_GetRowsFromBigTable(startRowNo,endRowNo) should get me only the rows in the specified range.
Thanks in advance,

AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @B nvarchar(MAX);
SET @B = 'SELECT * FROM C WHERE ID IN ( ' + @A + ')'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @B
END
GO

Hi All,
In SSRS 2005, how to fix the size (length) of the parameter since it is getting extended by length when the characters (data) is more.
Is there any way to fix the size and on click of the parameter then it should show the full value. Like usual drop down box.
Please let me know if you have any idea on this.
Thanks,

Hi,
In my report,I have multivalue parameter for this parameter the Available values are from the Dataset.Suppose the dataset contains Names like this:
'AL - Alabama Center (Tuscaloosa)',
'AL - Regional Control Center (Birmingham)',
'AR - Arkansas & Rock)',
'Arizona Department of Health'
But my problem is the Multivalue parameter TextBox is of fixed size.Now i want the size of the text box to the size of the name which is of length long in the Name.
Whether it is possible or not.
How to achieve this.
