SQL Server 2K Truncating Text Fields At 255 Chars

Jul 20, 2005

I'm running SQL Server 2K (sp3a) and when I run the following query (in
query analyzer):

SELECT id, LEN(ForeignWord) as Length, ForeignWord
FROM Words
WHERE Language ='Thai' and LEN(ForeignWord) > 300
ORDER BY Length desc

I receive the following results:

id Length ForeignWord
------- ----------- -----------
34756 445 เ&#35...truncated at 255
34839 412 เ&#36...truncated at 255
37613 350 โ&#35...truncated at 255
37808 315 โ&#35...truncated at 255
38140 315 โ&#35...truncated at 255

(The ForeignWord field is defined as varchar(1000))

Note that even though the server says that the lengths are in excess of
255 characters, the results are all truncated at 255 characters.

I read that SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0 had some issues related to native
access versus OleDb or ODBC, but this is Server 2K patched with the
latest updates.

Any idea why my varchar fields are being truncated?

-- Rick

Here is my table definition:

CREATE TABLE [Words] (
[ID] [bigint] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[Language] [varchar] (50) NOT NULL ,
[Module] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Lesson] [int] NOT NULL ,
[EnglishWord] [varchar] (1000) NOT NULL ,
[ForeignWord] [varchar] (1000) NOT NULL ,
[Note] [varchar] (2000) NULL ,
[Military] [tinyint] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Table1_Military]
DEFAULT (0),
[Supplemental] [tinyint] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Table1
_Supplemental] DEFAULT (0),
[SoundFileName] [varchar] (1000) NULL

All Text Fields Truncated To 255 Chars

Jun 25, 2006

Hi

I defined the following table in MSSQL 2000

sql Code:

Original
- sql Code

CREATE TABLE saved_query (
id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
query_text VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL
)

CREATE TABLE saved_query ( id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL, query_text VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL)

and whenever I insert or update the query_text field, it's always truncated to 255 characters. Why? I clearly specified a larger field size. I also tried defining query_text as a "TEXT" but got the same result.

Thanks for any help

Ken

Displaying Fields Greater Than 255 Chars

Apr 29, 2001

I have a column of varchar(2000) but when I use it in a select statement I only get the first 255 characters displayed. (all the data is there as I can see different parts using substring) How do I get the complete column to display?

Cannot Compare NVarChar(Max) Fields Over 4000 Chars

Oct 24, 2006

I had a post a week or so ago with this issue, I found the cause, but cannot figure out how to fix it... The problem is the comparison on the NVarChar(Max) fields when one of them exceeds 4000 chars. If I comment out the following lines of the stored proc, everything works. I tested without using COALESCE and it still does not work. COALESCE(Comments, '') = COALESCE(@o_Comments, '') ANDCOALESCE(SpecialNotes, '') = COALESCE(@o_SpecialNotes, '') ANDCOALESCE(IAppComments, '') = COALESCE(@o_IAppComments, '') ANDCOALESCE(MgmtNotes, '') = COALESCE(@o_MgmtNotes, '') AND set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

Excel Destination Errors For Fields &&> 255 Chars

Apr 13, 2007

Hi:

Am trying to write sql2005 data to Excel. I have problems when data length exceeds 255 chars. I used a sample destination file with cells containing >255 chars where required, so that the Excel Destination external column was recognized as DT_Text.

My oledb source columns(external and output) are both varchar (1000).

Works fine , but fails when values>255 chars.

Error 0xC0202009 on ProcessInput.

I use SQL2005 enterprise SP2.

I tried changing the Oledb source output to Textstream, but that does not work at all.

How do I export values >255 chars to excel?

TIA

Kar

Help - Still Trying To Insert 255+ Chars Into Text

Jun 7, 1999

How do you insert more than 255 characters into a text field? or am I using READTEXT and DATALENGTH incorrectly?

I am trying to concatenate two 255 varchar strings. Both do have 255 characters of data.
I want to insert the concatenated strings into a field define as a text data type.
if I try to ' insert into tempTbl(textFieldDataType) values (@text1+@text2) it appears only the @text1 is inserted.
I have been told the data is really there, but I can only read the 256 position + with READTEXT.

DECLARE @textptr varbinary(16)
select @textptr = (select TEXTPTR(textFieldDataType) from tempTbl where pktempTbl = 33)
READTEXT tempTbl.textFieldDataType @textPtr 255 10

This should have read 10 text positions after the 255th position. However, I get msg
Msg 7124, Level 16, State 1
The offset and length specified in the READTEXT command is greater than the actual data length of 255.

If I use the datalength function, it appears to confirm that @text2 was never inserted

declare @length int
select @length = (select datalength(textFieldDataTypet) from tempTbl where pktempTbl = 33)
select @length

@length is returned as 255

SQL Server/ Text Fields - Cannot Add Free Text

Sep 25, 2007

I have a data table in my project that has a "text" (not varchar) field in it. I am trying to load this field with little paragraphs of text for showing on my pages. How do I get the free text loaded into the table? The database explorer and all the data grid controls cut the text off at one line. There doesn't seem to be any way to get multiline text into this table.

Can You Parse Out A Text String &> 8000 Chars Long??

Mar 30, 2005

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.

Syscomments Table Text Field Does Not Allow More Than 8060 Chars

Oct 18, 2006

Hello,

I have a table in SQL Server 2000 which has few triggers. When I try to update a record in that table, I get following message:

Warning: The table '[TABLE_NAME]' has been created but its maximum row size (17275) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.

where the data I am updating is well less than the field limit. The triggers are stored in syscomments table and when I dropped these triggers, the update statements were executed without this message. Is there anyway I can change the data type of field text in syscomments from nvarchar to ntext?

Thanks
Din

Full-text Ignores Special Chars In Sql 2005

Oct 12, 2007

We had a sql 2000 db that had full text implemented on it. We upgrade that server to a 2005 server and now the full text searches that once worked don't. Most do work just the ones with ; or special characters in the query string don't work.

Anyone have the same behavior and how to get it to wrok again?

SSMS Truncating Result Text In Select Query

Apr 20, 2015

The value of one of the columns in my table is 14000 lines(678913 characters). The datatype of that column is varchar(MAX). I am doing the following select query but its truncating the results.

select value -- this is truncating the text.
from dbo.GUISETTINGS

The length is shown as below when I do the query:

SELECT DATALENGTH(VALUE) from dbo.GUISETTINGS -- return 707951 as the length.

I even tried running the query below but still the value is getting truncated. However, if I right-click and select "Save Results As" a file, then it shows all the lines/characters fine.

select value, cast(value as text), cast(value as varchar(max))
from dbo.GUISETTINGS

How can I get whole column value ?

SQL Server Text Fields

Mar 16, 2006

The Text datatype can hold several million characters
The size of a record can be no more than 8 KB in normal data.

Created a table with one text field. For some reason can only store 1K of data into it. Even if the 8K limit was a factor (which it shouldn't for a text field) I cannot add more than 1K of data into my text field. 1023 characters to be exact.

Why is SQL Server 2000 doing this and more importantly how to resolve?

but in db and in application UI, the non english chars are being diplayed as junk chars. ???121

The application supports UTF-8 format

Adding A Full Text Search Across Multiple Tables (with Text Fields)

Sep 7, 2007

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.

Truncation Error: 255 Chars To 2 Chars.

Aug 27, 2007

Hi,

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.

Replace Text In Text, Char && Varchar Fields All At Once?

Jan 22, 2008

I have followed many tutorials on selecting and replacing text in text fields, varchar fields and char fields, but I have yet to find a single script that will to all 3 based on field type. Let's assume for a moment that I don't know where all in my database a certain value that I need changed resides ... i.e., the data's tablename and fieldname. How would I go about doing the following ... or more importantly, is this even possible in a SQL only procedure?1) Loop over entire database and get all user tables2) Loop over all user tables and get all fields3) Loop over all fields and determine the field type4) switch between field types and change a string of text from 'a' to 'b'Please be gentle, I'm a procedure newb.

Text Fields In Sp_makewebtask

Mar 2, 1999

Hey everyone,

using SQL 6.5 sp_makewebtask in a stored procedure I want to create a
press-info file.
My query calls four fields, a datum field, two varchar fields and a text
field, it's
the field "PrText" in my example:

EXEC sp_makewebtask @outputfile='F:EntwicklungRedaktionZeitwenden27.ht m',
@query='SELECT Datum, Ort, Headline, PrText
FROM news
WHERE ID = 27',
@templatefile='F:EntwicklungRedaktionZeitwendenTem plates.htm'

My question: Am I limited to 255 characters in this case? After 255
characters the text is cut off and
I have only a truncated text fragment.

Is there a possibility to get the whole text without using @blobfmt (I don't
want to use this parameter because
I want to have the datum data, the varchar headline AND the text in ONE
HTML-file.)

I have tried the same as dynamic query in ASP where I have no problem to get
the whole content of the text field, but I want
to create a static file because this information will be read often, but
won't be updated frequently
and I don't want to charge the server resources to much.

Has anybody an idea? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Concatenate Two Text Fields

Mar 29, 2006

New to using MS SQL server!
I have a requirements DB. Before I came on board, the DB was seeded with requirements text and a requirements ID in separate columns. I've been asked to append the ID in front of the text:

Text - The user shall be able....
ID - 1.01.01.
Combined - 1.01.01.The user shall be able....

I've created the following query that displays the columns:

CREATE VIEW dbo.ReqID
AS
SELECT RQREQUIREMENTS.ID, RQREQUIREMENTS.REQUIREMENTNAME,
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.FIELDVALUE

FROM RQREQUIREMENTS LEFT OUTER JOIN
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES ON
RQREQUIREMENTS.ID =
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.REQUIREMENTID

WHERE (RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.FIELDID = 171)

The Text field is REQUIREMENTNAME
The ReqId is FIELDVALUE

Should I create an UPDATE query based on this SELECT, updating the REQUIREMENTNAME column with FIELDVALUE + REQUIREMENTNAME?

Please advise - thanks!

Jul 23, 2005

I've just gotten my data into SQL Server, and changed the connection stringon the program.There was a memo field (Access 2000) and we put that in a text field (with adefault length of 16?).Now, when displaying the data online (through asp pages), there are bigwhite-space gaps in the pages (that display the memo field data), imageshave a "double" url(http://www.mysite.com/thisfolder/ht...thelinksite.com)there are lots of place with " ".The field data has html tags in it, if that has anything to do with it.It seems like I've heard that there are issues with text fields. Is thiswhat they meant? Is there anything I can do?Thanks, JA

Concatenating Text Fields?

Dec 18, 2007

Hi All,

I am trying to get at some text fields from an AS400(JBA) system. the problem i'm having is that for each new line of text on AS400 it creates a new row with a line number associated in the SQL table. When trying to export to excel this causes problems because i need the text in one cell not spread over 15/20 lines.

I need to create a query/function that will concatenate the text lines together. I'm fairly new to T-SQL so could do with some help.

Example:-
ID TxtLn Text

R262965
1
Text 1

R262965
2
Text 2

R262965
3
Text 3

What i'm aiming for is:-
ID ConcatText
R262965 Text1 Text2 Text3

Can anyone please help me or guide me towards a starting point.

Thanks
