Hi,
I have a problem with a text string which is more than 8000 chars.
I am taking this string as an input from an application.so,I cannot define a local variable as text or ntext and varchar has limitation of only 8000 char.
Can anyone help me in dealing with this situation.
Also,I cannot break the string at application level.I wish if I could solve it at db level somehow?
TIA

hi all, I'm after a way to produce a single-lined output of a char/varchar string replicated over 8000 times.
basically I've been given a task to create a stored procedure which can accept any integer to replicate a string X times.
From what I've read the replicate() fn will covert to varchar of max 8000 bytes.
I've thought about creating a UDF to accept the varchar and int and run a loop to keep outputting but 'print' will pass an endline to the buffer which is no good for my loop.
Any help would be great on this. Thanks.
Any way to parse out a text value (not varChar, using text data type) that is > than 8000 characters long? I'm looping through 1 big string passed to the DB that is pipe delimited, but I find myself needing the substring function to keep track of which segment I'm acting on (after an update, I then need to take that segment and remove it from the string)...but the subString function won't take anything larger than 8000 chars.
Say I have this string that is text data type...
'aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|....'
..and so on, surpassing 8000 char length, how could you parse it out using the pipes as the delimter, then do an Update using that segment? Afterward, return to that string and find the next segment, then use it, and so on (in a loop). I tried using an update to set the string = replace(string, segmentJustUsed, '') to "erase" it, but replace can't take text as the datatype. Any help? Hope this isn't to confusing.
Books Online gives a way to send a message larger than the VARCHAR max of 8000 chars, but the @query argument to xp_sendmail is a simple text string and my data is much more complex, and formatted. Also BOL shows an example using a temporary text file, but it is not clear precisely how you write your insert statements. I tried the following, which writes out all the data and sends it ok except, after each row, there is about a page of blank spaces. What is wrong with my syntax?
SET LANGUAGE British
GO
DECLARE @msgstr VARCHAR(80)
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(80)
DECLARE @PMID INT
DECLARE @forename VARCHAR(30)
CREATE TABLE ##texttab (c1 text)
SET @msgstr = 'THE FOLLOWING QUOTES ARE CURRENTLY MARKED AS PENDING:'
INSERT ##texttab SELECT @msgstr
DECLARE C2 CURSOR FOR SELECT ProjMgrID FROM surdba.SVY_QUOTES WHERE StatusID=6
OPEN C2
FETCH NEXT FROM C2 INTO @PMID
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
IF @PMID > 1000
SELECT @forename = ISNULL(Forename,' ') FROM surdba.SVY_PERSONNEL_GENERAL WHERE EmployeeID = @PMID
ELSE
SET @forename = ' '
INSERT ##texttab values (RTRIM(@forename))
FETCH NEXT FROM C2 INTO @PMID
END
CLOSE C2
DEALLOCATE C2
INSERT ##texttab values ( ' - This information is autogenerated from the Survey database.')
SET @cmd = 'SELECT c1 FROM ##texttab'
EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail @recipients = 'Robin Pearce',
@subject = 'ALL PENDING QUOTES',
@query = @cmd,
@no_header = 'TRUE'
DROP TABLE ##texttab
GO
Would appreciate any help on this one, I do not have time to learn HTML,
thanks

I have an employee table
Surname GivenName
ABC x.yz
A.BC X.*YZ
A*.BC xyz
The query needs to get me the surname and givenname which have more than 1 non alphanumeric characters. In this case the output will be
a.bc x.*yz
a*.BC xyz
I know how to find non alphanumeric chars in a string but not sure if I can how to find the strings with minimum 2 non alphanumeric chars?
In a query Analyser, there is a provision to change the "Maximum characters per column 256 " to our size in advanced option.
It works ok.
We are using VisualInterdev for developing ASP's -- there
thro ADO - we are getting the rows from sql server 7.0 -- there data more than
256 characters are truncated.
How will i get the actual data ?.. where i can do the settings..?
help needed...

What causes SQL Server 2000 to create tables with default column sizes of 8000 for a varchar datatype??
I would assume this can cause significant performance problems.
(see attached)
Say I have a column called 'NAME' in a table called 'CLIENT' and the values in NAME are Surnames or company names like:
NAME
----------------------
1-FOR-ALL
A.B. SMITH (TOOLS LTD)
BROWN
THOMSON
VW CAR SALES
I want my select to return the first 3 characters, excluding special characters (only characters between 1 and z).
In example, the following would be returned for the data above:
NAME
----------------------
1FO
ABS
BRO
THO
VWC

Hi All
I have loaded some data to the application using flat files
which has non english chars.
all the columns in the database are NVARCHAR type.
but in db and in application UI, the non english chars are being diplayed as junk chars. ???121
The application supports UTF-8 format
is there any setting at db level to be modified to display the non english char set as is.
Thanks
I am having DTS problem exporting from a table to a text file (my 600

I am very new to using SSIS.
Trying to import data from MS Access 2000.
I receive the error "
[OLE DB Destination [1907]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "GENDER" with a length of 255 to database column "GENDER" with a length of 2. " on the source flow.
I have done some googling and came up with this post: http://torontosql.dotnetnuke-portal.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32233 which I thought may help, but it does not.
The query against the access datasource features the column: iif([sex]=1, 'm', 'f'). I tried using left(..., 2) as well, but SSIS is determind to treat the field as 255 characters for some reason.
I don't even particualrly care that the field is 255 chars and the sources is only two, I just want the data in! I have other fields coming up with similar error.
Can someone please advise?
PS, what is th significance of the "External Columns" Vs "Output Columns" on the Input and Output Properties tab in Advanced Editor?
I am really struggling with SSIS, it is not as intuitive as DTS.
I got a sales cost and cost amount table for my budget. the sales cost table is getting updated with FOBB items which makes the total incorrect . the FOBB values needs to be moved from the sales cost column to the cost amount column. how can i do it with an SQL script.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA column of a table has values in the format - 35106;#Grandbouche-Cropp, Amy.
I need to format the column data in such a way that only the text after # (Grandbouche-Cropp, Amy) remain in the column.
The text before ;# (35106) should be inserted in to another column of the same table.
Below is the table structure:

I have a student table like this studentid, schoolID, previousschoolid, gradelevel.
I would like to load this table every day from student system.
During the year, the student could change schoolid, whenever there is a change, I would put current records schoolid to the previous schoolid column, and set the schoolid as the newschoolid from student system.
My question in my merge statement something like below
Merge into student st
using (select * from InputStudent ins)
on st.id=ins.studentid
When matched then update
set st.schoolid=ins.schoolid
, st.previouschoolid= case when (st.schoolid<>ins.schoolid) then st.schoolid
else st.previouschoolid
end
, st.grade_level=ins.grade_level
;
My question is since schoolid is et at the first line of set statement, will the second line still catch what is the previous schoolid?
Hello,
We have migrated a sql server 2000 database to sql server 2005, this was done through scripts (table, stored procedures and data).
To access this database we are using an ASP.Net 2.0 application which uses the sqlhelper Aplication Block to connect to the database.
Everything works fine except one Stored Procedure which has an OUT varchar(8000) parameter.
We use the following .Net Code to execute the stored procedure this stored procedure:
aParams[2] = sSerDatos.GetParameter("@DominiosMenu", DbType.String, 8000);
aParams[2].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
sSerDatos.ExecuteNonQuery("VM_SDominiosMenu", aParams)
When we invoque the sqlcommand we get this sqlexception:
The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 3 ("@DominiosMenu"): Data type 0xE7 has an invalid data length or metadata length.
If we change the DbType.String Size to 4000 in the .Net code everything works, this same procedure work correctly in SQL Server 2000 with the same .Net code.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

I am trying to generate a @StartDate and @EndDate. The @StartDate would be the 1st of January and the year is dependent on the @EndDate.
The @EndDate would be
select max(DateValue) from dbo.testtableThe column DateValue in the testtable contains dates such as 2013-12-09, 2013-12-15.
What I am trying to accomplish is if the @EndDate is populated by select max(DateValue) from dbo.testtable returns '2013-12-15' as the max(DateValue). I want the @StartDate to '2013-01-01' because the year of the EndDate is 2013.
So something along the lines of
@StartDate = DateAdd(yy,?,@EndDate)
