Error In SQL-Server 2005 With Varchar 8000

Jun 5, 2006

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

Numeric Datatype To Ssis Variable Datatype Conversion Problem

Apr 24, 2008



Good afternoon,

I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.

The scenario is as follows:

I have a stored procedure:


PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]



@sourceSystem varchar(50),

@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT

AS

insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);

SELECT @txOut = @@identity


Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).

I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:

exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?

The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:

User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1

The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.

At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.

I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.

Thanks much,

B

REPLICATE() Beyond 8000 Bytes

May 18, 2007

I'm wondering if there's a way to use the string function replicate() to produce an output greater than 8000 bytes. From the documentation REPLICATE returns a varchar of max 8000 but I'm told there's a way to stop this restriction.

My mentor has been giving me tasks to try and accomplish and for this one I'm to create a stored procedure with no limitations, however I'm stuck at this replicate() problem.

Any help or guidance would be great.

MDX Query Above 8000 Characters

May 23, 2006

Hi,

I have a MDX query which is of an aprox length of 10000 characters. I
have to execute the query from within the stored procedure in sql. To
run this query I use the openrowset method.

If the length of my query is less than 8000 characters my query
executes perfectly, but the moment it exceeds 8000 characters it stop
working. Please suggest a solution for the same.

Sample Code:

declare @mdxqry varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)

set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '

set @mdxqry = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
' +
'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '

set @mdxqry = @mdxqry +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''

set @mdxqry = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'

exec(@mdxqry)

I have already tried splitting my query into smalled chunks and
executing it, but still I face the same problem.

This is how I have Done it:

declare @mdxqry1 varchar(8000)
declare @mdxqry2 varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)

set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '

set @mdxqry1 = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
'

set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '

set @mdxqry2 = @mdxqry2 +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''

set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'

exec(@mdxqry1 + @mdxqry2)

Thanks in Advance

8000 Records In Over 12 Minutes?

May 28, 2014

I have the following SQL select query:

Code:
SELECT
inbound_emails.inbound_email_id,
inbound_emails.campaign_id,
campaign_header.campaign_name,
customers.customer_name,
inbound_emails.date_received,

[Code] ....

Without any indexes (other than PK's) this query would take 1min 21 secs to return all 8500 records.

I wasn't satisfied with that so I added indexes to the tables.

Indexes are;

inbound_emails:

PK: inbound_email_id
1. campaign_id (non-unique, non-clustered)
2. email_from (non-unique, non-clustered)
3. email_to (non-unique, non-clustered)

campaign_header:

PK: campaign_id
1. campaign_name (unique, non-clustered)

customers:
PK: customer_id
1. customer_name (unique, non-clustered)

contracts:
PK: contract_id
1. contract_name (unique, non-clustered)
2. customer_id (non-unique, non-clustered)

Have I made a hash of the indexes? Or is the query statement badly written? What is a reasonable amount of time to expect to retrieve 8500 records?

I think email_from and email_to on inbound_emails is the main culprit, but I don't understand why?

Dealing With More Than 8000 Characters

Nov 14, 2005

In SS 2000 it seems that there is no variable data type that can hold more than 8000 characters (varchar) or 4000 unicode characters (nvarchar). I've seen posts where multiple variables are spliced together to extend this limit. I am looking at performing string manipulations in an sproc and I need to be able to deal with the full 2GB/1GB limit of text and ntext field types. Is this possible? How do you deal with that?

Sql Function Not Working For TEXT Size More Than 8000

Feb 24, 2005

Hi,

I wrote this sql function which takes a comma seperated string of numbers, splits the numbers seperately and stores it in a table. I have specified the input parameter type as text instead of varchar, the size of the string can get more than 8000.

But the function is not working properly if the input size is more than 8000. For example if the input string is of length 8005 and this is the input string from 7995 to 8005 - '123,124,125'. It works fine till 123 and after that it throws an error, Syntax error converting the varchar value '124,125' to a column of data type int. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I am using string functions like charindex, substring. I can post the full function if you want.

Thanks.

Varchar Output Greater Than 8000 Chars

May 20, 2007

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.

Stored Procedure Varchar (8000) Limitation.

Mar 12, 2008



I have this sql statement in a stored procedure

SELECT @sql=@sql + '''' + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + ''' = ' + stuff(@sumfunc,charindex( '(', @sumfunc )+1, 0, ' CASE ' + @pivot + ' WHEN ' + @delim + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + @delim + ' THEN ' ) + ', ' FROM ##pivot

in the statement, where @sql is defined as DECLARE @sql varchar(Max). the problem is that this statement produces results that are in excess of 8000 characters and the results are truncated. Is there anyway to avoid this? I know that it's not possible to user ntext/text as a local variable, and if i try to return the result as an ouput paramater, only the first result is returned.

my code is based off of this article http://www.sqlteam.com/article/dynamic-cross-tabs-pivot-tables
Thanks for any suggestions.

Input Parameter Greater Than Varchar(8000)

May 30, 2006

Hi

I need to pass the where clause of my statement as an input parameter for a stored procedure. As this is built dynamically within the program (Borland C++), it could sometimes exceed the maximum 8000 bytes of a varchar. I thought of sending in two input paramenters and concatenating them into a memo in the sql, but cannot seem to be able to execute the memo variable (i.e. exec(memo) doesn't work). Is there any other options for passing in such a huge parameter.



Also, I do not think there is any other option than passing in the where clause: passing in seperate parameters and building the clause in sql would require over 300 parameters to be passed, and as the possible number of combination is indefinate, I cannot have a different Stored Procedure for each potential case.



Thank you

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.

How To You Convert An Oracle Long Field To Varchar 8000

Jan 17, 2007



I need to handle this conversion in SSIS and not on oracle.

The following expression is executed on a datatype of dt_str with a length of 8000.

SUBSTRING((DT_STR,8000,1252)Column_name,1,8000)

Records longer then 4000 bytes take an error path

The next expression with 4000 bytes works but there is truncation.

SUBSTRING((DT_STR,4000,1252)Column_name,1,4000)

Basically I need to know how to cast a text or ntext into a varchar or nvarchar using ssis but I need to capture the first 8000 byes without truncation.

is this possible?

Using SSIS Reading From oracle I can convert to a text or ntext field but I am having a hard time going directly to a varchar.
