Data Type And Length In SQL Server

Nov 4, 2005

Hello folks!

I have written a stored proc that selects data from this table:
A1 AA
A2 BB
B1 AAA
B2 BBB

and puts it another table in this manner:
A1 AA BB
A2 AA BB
B1 AAA BBB
B2 AAA BBB

In short, I wanted to concatenate data in the second column.

My question is for some reason, SQL Server is limiting the length of the string to only 256 characters, even though I have defined the local variables in the storeds proc as varchar(1000) and the table has that field defined as text.

Any ideas how I can get around this problem?

Thanks!

SQL Server 2008 :: Effect Of Updates On Fixed And Variable Length Columns

Mar 4, 2015

I have this doubt and want to be sure if my thinking is correct.

Lets consider 2 tables one with Fixed length columns (char) and other table with Variable length columns (Varchar).

The table with fixed length column will always allocate same size within a Page however, table with variable length column will allocate actual length of data within a page.

I think that updates happening on table with fixed length columns will have more possibility of InPlace updates at least from data length perspective, however updates on table with variable length columns will have more split updates from data length perspective.

Get Column Length From Sql Server

Jul 11, 2007

Hello Friends,
I am working on a web application and using Sql Server 2005 as a Databasew. I want to define a variable with the datatype as defined in the database. Let me give an example.
In my web say there is a field "First Name" and for that I had created a TextBox "txtFirstName" in code behind to get this value I have defined a variable
String getFirstName;
Now this variable has to be stored into the table "Person" into the column "FirstName" which is of type "nvarchar" and having length "20" So I want to get this length programatically so that I can assign this number (20) to the maxlength property of the textbox "txtFirstName" so that in future if the legth of the database column changes it should no be needed to change in code also.
Caqn it be done? If yes please let me know.
Thanks & RegardsGirish Nehte

SQL Server 2008 :: Data Type And Size Of Each Row

Feb 27, 2015

In my database there is a big table and format is something like this:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTable](
[aaa] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[bbb] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ccc] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
[ddd] [nvarchar](100) NULL,.......etc.........

There are some more columns with more 'nvarchar' (max) and other INT data types. Anyway, I know a page is 8K size. How do I find out how much space does A ROW takes with above datatypes? If users add 5000 Rows per day, how do I figure out how much size the table will increase?

SQL Server 2008 :: Table Type And Open RowSet

Feb 5, 2015

I'm trying to store the output of my stored procedure into a temp table, which takes Table Type as Input.

CREATE TYPE [dbo].[Employee] AS TABLE(
[Field] [varchar](50) NULL,
[Criteria] [varchar](50) NULL,
[Value] [varchar](50) NULL
)
declare @Employee dbo.Employee
insert into @Employee values(N'Salary',N'is greater than',N'3520')

DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)

SET @sql = 'SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(''SQLNCLI'',''Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;'',''EXEC dbo.uspGetEmployee ' + @Employee + ')'

I need to create a stored procedure which uses output of the above stored procedure. Hence, I don't want to put declare and insert into OPENROWSET as I get those values as parameter to the new procedure.

Any other solution instead of using OpenRowSet.

SQL Server 2008 :: Adding Columns To Table Type?

Jul 24, 2015

Is there a good way to add columns to a table type?

I built several procs which make use of table-valued-parameters, and they work pretty nicely, until I need them to accept additional columns. Then I have to drop all the procs that use them, alter the types, and rebuild all the procedures, which is a huge pain in the rear.

Is there any good way (built in, or custom) to alter the def of a table type that's used as a parameter to multiple stored procedures?

SQL Server 2008 :: Data Type Of Calculated Fields

Aug 10, 2015

I'm using the SQL below to work out recruitment figures. The query works well, but I now need to build this query into a DotNet application as a webpage. I therefore need to declare and manipulate the values such as 'Total', 'Jan' to 'Dec' and 'YearRecruited' in order to write these values into my chosen data control. I therefore need to know the datatypes of these calculated values.

Total I think is straightforward as DNAScreeningID is an int datatype. But what about the others?

SELECT YEAR(SamplingDate) AS YearRecruited,

COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 1 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Jan',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 2 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Feb',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 3 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Mar',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 4 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Apr',

[Code] ....

SQL Server 2008 :: Size Limitation For XML Data Type?

Oct 7, 2015

I've never worked with the XML data type in SQL Server, although I know its been there for a few iterations of SQL SErver. Now I've got a situation in which it might store some configuration data as XML, since that's the way it comes. (We had thought about storing the data in a VARCHAR(MAX) field.)

The first question is does the XML data type have a size limitation? For example do you do something like:

ConfigFile XML(1000) NULL

Or is it just something like this:

ConfigFile XML NULL

The second question is persisting the data to a file. As the name I choose for the variable suggests, we want to save the data from a configuration file into a SQL Server database. How do we go about doing that? We'll be developing a C# application, it will read and write the data both from the SQL table and the user's local HD.

SQL Server 2008 :: Allow Null On Data Type Money?

Oct 15, 2015

Should data type money allow nulls? Are there valid arguments both pro and con?

Yes, there is the age-old question regarding how one might interpret a NULL found in any column - does it mean the amount is not known or that the amount is zero (in the case of a numeric type)? You get the drift...

Other than that, though - are there any practical considerations an old data hound ought to be aware of?

SQL Server 2008 :: Error - The Column Delimiter For Column Was Not Found

I am getting an error importing a csv file both using SSIS and SSMS. The csv is comma delimited with quotes for text qualifiers. The file gets partially loaded and then gives me an error stating The column delimiter for column "MyColumn" was not found. In SSIS it gives me the data row which is apparently causing the problem but when I look at the file in a text editor at the specific row identified the file has the comma delimiter and it looks fine. I am using SQL Server 2008.

SQL Server 2008 :: Storing Column Value To A Column

Sep 9, 2015

I just have a question regarding storing values to a column in ms sql 2008.

Why is it that the value I inserted at the column is truncated when selected in a query.

The column for this is created to accept max. values.

-> Message VARCHAR(MAX) NULL

The string which I need to insert is a combination of characters with a length of 14,720.

According to some forums, the max value that a column can hold is 8000 chars. only (Is this true? even though I set it to MAX?)
