SQL Server 2k Querying Varchar Without Apostrophes
Jul 20, 2005
I am currently migrating our Intranet from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server
2000 and have hit a problem with one of the applications. The
application in question executes the folloiwing query against the
database:
select * from employee where emp_id = 760
In SQL Server 7 this works without a problem, however, in SQL server
2k the following error is returned:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Syntax error converting
the varchar value 'Con25' to a column of data type int.
This is clearly because the column emp_id is a varchar, I understand
that this code has not exactly followed best practices but do not want
to have to trawl through the application and surround all instances
with apostrophes.
Is it possible to make SQL 2k act in the same way as SQL 7 or will I
have to trawl through the code and correct the SQL statements.
Thanks for any help.
John

Here is my problem:-
declare @test as varchar(32)
declare @test2 as varchar(32)
set @test='today''s problem'
set @test2='my <string> '
select @test as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
select @test2 as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
I want for xml path to correctly encode the single apostrophe as &apos but the single apostrophe doesn't get encoded. In the second example the greater and less than does get encoded.

I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

Hello,
could someone help with this query in a stored proc.?
SET @SQL = 'SET ''' + @avgwgt + ''' = '
'(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN (' + @cagearray + ')
and ItemDate =''' + CONVERT(varchar(23),@startdate) + ''')'
EXEC @SQL
I'm trying to get an average value across dynamically selected rows. (I'm using a list array to deliver the selection to the stored proc). I need to re-use the average value within the procedure,so it's not enough to output it as a column of the resultset - EG. 'Select AVG(AverageWeight) as AvgWgt' . If I take out the @avgwgt line it works fine, but otherwise I'm getting this error:
"Incorrect syntax near '(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN ('."
It may be that I can access a column of the resultset in the rest of the procedure, and that would help avoid the use of pesky apostrophes, but I don't know how to do it.

I am using a SQLDatasource to populate a dataview as illustrated below. I run into a problem when I search for a "LastName" that includes an (') Apostrophe ( e.g. O'Reilly) . Searchin for the whole name there is no problem, but when I search for simply O, or O' I get errors.
I am not sure ...when to address names with an apostrophe...
1) On insertion to the database (using a "Replace(LastName, "'", "''") 2) or after they have been entered and they are to be searched for.
If scenario 1, can anyone provide the best way to do this...If scenario 2, how would that be worked into the SQL Datasource code below....
I have tried several variations with the times SQL Datasource to no avail....
I would appreciate any help !
Thanks !
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ClinicTest2ConnectionString1 %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [PatientID], [Accession], [FirstName], [LastName], [Address1], [City], [strddlPatientState], [ZIP], [DOB] FROM [ClinicalPatient] WHERE [LastName] LIKE @LastName ORDER BY [LastName],[FirstName]ASC">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="LastName" QueryStringField="NameSearch_Result" />

I've tried everything I can think of to find all the records in a table column (lastname) that contain an apostrophe. I know they are there (O'Brian, D'Marcus, etc.) However, I keep getting syntax errors.
Could someone PLEASE help?!!

After creating an IN clause from a bunch of character strings created by aWord macro, Query Analyzer complains about a syntax error. The macro takes acolumn full of character strings and wraps apostrophes (single-quotes)around each string and adds a comma to the end of each line, ready to pasteinto a Query Analyzer session. The problem is that Query Analyzer doesn'trecognize the MS-Word apostrophes. It has nothing to do with the standardapostrophe/quote problems that some people face when dealing with embeddedquotes.Can anyone suggest how to produce single-quote characters in MS-Word thatQuery Analyzer understands?Thank you.

Hi I have an asp.net 2.0, web app with a sql 2000 db.

Is there a way I a can force my sql server to only allow characters in a certain format, eg iso-8859-1 to resolve this problem Please help somebody must have a resolutionMany thanks in advance

I work with both Oracle and SQL Server databases (most of the time Oracle) and I was wondering if there is a function that allows ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted into the database. Oracle has a function called SET DEFINE OFF and that allows for ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted without giving me an error. Is there something similar in SQL Server? I'm migrating some data and quite few rows have ampersands and apostrophes.

Hi.
I have an update statement that accepts
a user's text input. problem is that the string
terminates the sql update statement if there is
an apostrophe in it. so, headline='i like my brother's car"
willl terminate after "brother". "s car" is read as sql.
how is this resolved?
Code:
Dim MyCmd2 As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF " & _
"UPDATE EditProfile " & _
"SET headline='"+ Me.tb_headline.Value+"', about_me='"+ Me.ta_aboutme.Value+"', edit_date='"+System.DateTime.Now.ToString+"' WHERE email_address='"+Context.User.Identity.Name.ToString+"' " & _
"SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON ", MyConn)

I've been digging for a while to try to find something, even had a consultant looking for me, but came up empty haned.
What I want to do is this:
I activated the Security Audit level for all logins. I want to be able to report last login date for every user from the log, and all login events for SA or any other defined super users.
Is it possible to Query the SQL Server Logs to report this information?
This is for proposed Sarbox Database Security settings.

I know that a heterogeneous query joining tables from two different servershas performance penalties but is the same true when joining tables from twodifferent databases on the same SQL Server 2000 instance?We are looking at setting up a Data Warehouse using DTS on a SQL Server boxand I'm wondering about the best way to logically set it up; i.e. one bighonking db or several dbs determined by some logical organization. With thelatter there will still be some queries that would need data from more thanone db and I'm wondering if that will have worse performance than if theywere all in one db.I thought that was the case in older versions of SS, but I couldn't findanything in 2000's BOL that indicated a problem with that.TIA

I am remotely logging onto a MS SQL 6.0 server using sp_addlinkedsrvlogin.
When I try to query against the table on this server I get the following error
message:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: The data source can not be used, because it DBMS version is less than 6.5.0.]
I know that 6.0 doesn't support OLEDB but shouldn't 7.0 be able to access this
using odbc. Do I need to do anything other than set up the dsn on odbc.
Any feedback on this would be great.
Cheers,

How do I specify the Catalogue while querying a linked server?
For exmaple, I have a remote SQL 2000 server as a linked server on my server. I will refer to it as "ServerRemote." I was given access to that server through my Active Directory Domain account and the catalogue 'master' was set as my default database.
Aside from having the admin change my default database, is there a way to query a linked server and specify the catalogue in the query?
Right now I use the following code to query the default catalogue for the linked server:
SELECT * FROM ServerRemote...ViewName
I've tried various queryies for a different catalogue but always get a table not found error:
SELECT * FROM ServerRemote..DatabaseName.ViewName
or
SELECT * FROM ServerRemote.DatabaseName..ViewName
or
SELECT * FROM ServerRemote.DatabaseName.ViewName
all return errors

I have an xml document that (for this example) I've simplified to look like this:
<xml xmlns:s='uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882'
xmlns:dt='uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882'
xmlns:rs='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset'
xmlns:z='#RowsetSchema'>
<s:Schema id='RowsetSchema'>
[code]....
When I try querying the xml document in SQL, I get nothing back, unless I remove the schema information. I'm using this:
declare @x xml
select @x = P
from openrowset (bulk 'E:VehicleOption0514.xml', single_blob) as Products(P)
declare @hdoc int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @hdoc output, @x

I have a linked SQL Server on another machine which is created using a stored procedure that executes the following:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'AchillesMixed', @srvproduct = ' ', @provider = 'SQLNCLI', @datasrc = 'ArchillesMixed', @catalog = 'DB_INTRANET'
The stored procedure executes successfully and I can also succesfully DROP the linked server. However when I try to query tables in linked databases using:
SELECT * FROM DB_INTRANET...Employees
I get the following error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "DB_Intranet" returned message "Communication link failure".
Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Msg 18452, Level 14, State 1, Line 0 Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
The logins are Windows Authentication and even if I use sp_addlinkedsrvlogin to map logins it still gives me the same error.
I have no problems linking and querying linked Access Databases but can't do it for the SQL Server DBs.
Does anyone have any suggestions please.

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%'

I have a table (we will cal DateTable) with several (20) columns, each being a date type. Another table's (Project) PK is referenced in the DateTable.
I am trying to write a query that will pull all dates for a specific project from the DateTable if they meet certain criteria(i.e. if the date is <= 7 days from now.
I started with a normal select statement selecting each column with a join to the project and then a where clause using
(DateTable.ColumnName BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE()) OR (DateTable.ColumnName BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE())) ...
The rest of the columns(all with OR between them).
The problem with this is that because I am using OR once one of the dates meets the criteria it selects all the dates that are associated with the project. I ONLY want the dates that meet the criteria and don't care about the rest.
Obviously because I have all the columns in the select statement... So I need something like
Select ALL Columns
from DateTable d
Join Project p
where p.ProjectID = d.ProjectID AND only dates BETWEEN GETDATE() AND DATEADD(day, 7, GETDATE()))

I'm working on a query in which I need to get few nodes values from the XML data by using the value from SQL column (MessageContentType) in this query. I'm able to get the nodes value when i hard code the value in the query but the problem is MessageContentType will vary from some records in the table, due to that I'm not getting the corresponding node values. I have tried few ways to get this value dynamically but I'm missing something.
Sample Table Data
MessageContentType | BodySegment
xx:ADT_A03_26_GLO_DEF | <ns0:ADT_A03_26_GLO_DEF xmlns:ns0="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X">.....
Current Query - HardCode Script
SELECT
ID,MsgContentType
BODYSEGMENT,
BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /xx:ADT_A03_26_GLO_DEF[1]/colxx[1]/colxx[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
FROM
s
When i tried the below line of script, I'm getting this error "[color=#FF0000]The argument 1 of the XMLdata type method "value" must be a string literal.[/color]"
Concat MsgContentType Column
BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /'+MsgContentType+'[1]/EVN_EventType[1]/EVN_2_RecordedDateTime[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
To overcome that error i used sql column but I'm getting this error [color=#FF0000]XQuery [S.bodysegment.value()]: Syntax error near '[', expected a "node test"[/color].
BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /[sql:column("MsgContentType")][1]/EVN_EventType[1]/EVN_2_RecordedDateTime[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
I tried this line of script, i didn't get any error by timespan is coming as null, I do hope this script not pointing the correct node to traverse the sibling node.
BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /*[local-name()=sql:column("MsgContentType")][1]/EVN_EventType[1]/EVN_2_RecordedDateTime[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
