HI,
I'm trying to implement a site search. The only problem is that some of the pages have more than 8000 characters (like the press release pages) so I had to use the TEXT datatype (sql server 2000). I wrote a simple stored procedure to query the column, however it does not return any results. I'm assuming this is due to the fact that it is the TEXT datatype. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. Code below:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_SiteSearch
@keyword text
AS
SELECT PageText
FROM tbl_Pages
WHERE PageText LIKE '%@keyword%'
GO

In Oracle when i create any procedure i define parameter datatype linked to under lying table.
For ex
create procedure testprocedure
(param1 customer.name%type,
param2 customer.salary%type )
Here i have defined param1 and param2 with datatype of name and salary of customer table respectively.
This way i do not need to worry about modifying param1 and param2 datatypes when datatypes of name & salary of customer table changes in future.
How can i accomplish this in SQL server.
Hello. I using a simply SELECT statement to retrieve some data from aSQL SERVER via an ODBC connection. I had to go from VARCHAR to TEXTbecause the amount of data. Anyway, my SQL statements worked just finewhen I was using VARCHAR, but now since I am using TEXT, I am onlyreceiving part of the content back. Do I have to do some sort ofspecial Casting or something if I want to get all the content back?It's over 8,000 characters. Thank you very much. I have racking mybrain on this for a while.

I am creating a report query that returns all unreconciled P/O lines. I am near completion but I am unable to find a way to remove the reconciled records.
I have included a script to produce some sample table, data & query.
The recordset dispalys 6 rows. All reconciled Supplier Invoices are duplicated and have transaction codes 40, 50 and reconcile code of 9 (5024, 921689471).
All unreconciled only appear once and have transaction codes 40 and reconcile code of 0 (4835 & 921978016). These are the only records that I want to show.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Purch_Ledger](
[EPDIVI] [nvarchar](3) NULL,
[EPSUNO] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[EPSINO] [nvarchar](24) NULL,
[EPDUDT] [numeric](8, 0) NULL,
[EPTRCD] [numeric](2, 0) NULL,
[code].....
Whatever I try I cant find a way to get rid of the unwanted records.
I have a SQL 2012 database that has 10 tables. One of the tables is populated by manual import from CSV file. Each time a user calls custom ASP.NET code., records get inserted into a table called forecast_data with incremental increase in FileID. So first import has FileID of 1, second import has FileID of 2 etc.
Structure:
TABLE [dbo].[forecast_data](
[recID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[FileID] [int] NULL,
[Project_Name] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Stoplight_Status] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Country] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[Region] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
[code]....
What I am trying to do is only keep the data that has the highest FileID (MAX(FileID). I would like to write a store procedure that removes all older data once a new import is written into the table.
Having below data. SHCOMP (Customer ID), CBLNAM ( Customer name), SHDESC (service description), SHAMT (service charge), SHTYPE (F-> From T-> To)
CREATE TABLE #Temp(
[SHCOMP] [numeric](7, 0) NOT NULL,
[SHDESC] [char](35) NOT NULL,
[SHTYPE] [char](1) NOT NULL,
[SHAMT] [numeric](9, 2) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
I need to remove records that have the same ID, Name, Description and Amount summary = 0, For example
SHCOMP CBLNAM SHDESC SHAMT SHTYPE
123 cust1 desc1 45 F remove
123 cust1 desc1 -45 T remove
123 cust1 desc1 45 F remove
123 cust1 desc1 -45 T remove
123 cust1 desc1 45 F
[Code] ....
Results
SHCOMP CBLNAM SHDESC SHAMT SHTYPE
123 cust1 desc1 45 F
123 cust1 desc1 -35 T
234 cust3 desc2 30 F
here is what I did but didn't work because sum is <> from 0 so is leaving all records
select SHCUST, SHDESC, ABS(SHAMT) SHAMT
into #t1
FROM #Temp
group by SHCUST, SHDESC, ABS(SHAMT)
having SUM(SHAMT)=0
order by SHCUST
delete S from #Temp S
join #t1 T on T.SHCUST = S.SHCUST and T.SHDESC = S.SHDESC
In QA we have a two-node cluster with four instances of sql. In trying to add a fifth, I was given an IP address already in use so the install hung.
I removed it from the cluster but it is still there in the registry etc on the node I was working on.
I read about using the maintenance tab of the sql server install to "remove a node" but the terminology is confusing. To me a node is a physical server and an instance is an instance of sql server -- not the same at all but they are often referred to as the same thing.
I definitely don't want to remove one of the servers from the cluster.
I have a stored procedure that does the following
BEGIN TRANSACTION OUTERTXN
BEGIN TRANSACTION
Copy records from live to archive
END TRANSACTION with commit or rollback
execute sproc to write audit log with success or fail
IF transaction was committed
BEGIN TRANSACTION
Delete records from live the archive
END TRANSACTION with commit or rollback
execute sproc to write audit log with success or fail
End IF
END TRANSACTION OUTERTXN with commit if both inner transactions were successful or rollback if either failed
If either inner transaction rolled back execute sproc to write audit log saying whole process is rolling back End IfMy problem is that if the outer transaction rolls back then I am losing the two audit records because they are part of the transaction scope. I want these executes to commit even if the master transaction fails.
Hi
I am populating a rad grid with foreign language data. I have set the sql server 2005 Database table column to nvarchar. This works for all the languages except Hindi and Punjabi resulting in the text appearing as letters instead of the correct symbols. Can anyone tell me the correct sql server column datatype for Hindi and Punjabi characters?
Thanks
I have a computed column that I want to cast as decimal.
The two columns it calculates from are both varchar.
Why can I cast the column as INT, but when I try to cast as decimal, I get the following error?
Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric.
what this error means and why I get it only when I want to cast to decimal.
I ran a db update script to update the datatype for a column from a tinyint to a smallint:
ALTER TABLE MyTable
ALTER COLUMN Age smallint
Then I ran another db update script to update the value in these 2 columns:
update MyTable
set Age = Age * 12,
However, the second db update script returns the following error:
Msg 220, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error for data type tinyint, value = 1440.
The statement has been terminated.
SSMS shows the column with the new data type of smallint. I even restarted SSMS but I still get the error above. 1440 is out of range for a tiny int but should be in range for a smallint. Both scripts need to be executed together in sequence by the release manager.
How can I get time difference of the following record :

but it gives following error message

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Everybody,
From the BOL, what I understood is, Text Datatype can accept more characters than 'char' & 'varchar' datatypes. There is no limitation like 8000 characters(what we hv in 'char' & 'varchar').
But I am surprised I am not able to add more than 8000 characters to my text datatype. Can anybody guide me how to do this?. Any help is appreciated.
tks in advance,
