What happened to the rest of my strings?
I would appreciate any help.
Many thanks.
I have a web site that allows user to enter large strings into a database (comments, etc). What is the best way to do that? Right now I have them limited to 25 characters and the data type is varchar. Is there a better way?
Thanks!
Hi,
I am building a string (basically XML) on the fly in stored procedure (SQL 7.0). I am using one local variable @str_xml varchar(8000) to build this string.
Now my problem is I can store maximum upto 8000 characters in "varchar type". And I can't use text field as SQL Server doesn't allow "text type" to be used as local variable.
I am thinking to use 2 or 3 local varchar variables and then return them separately to front end and will do contatination at the front end. But I think it would be ugly way to do as I have to check every time in stored procedure the length of string.
Any suggestions to do this in some other way would be greatly helpful to me.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a issue with the drill down. In the report there is drill down in the Amount column. I am trying to pass the customer names in this drill down but there are more than 100 customers for that specific case and drill down is not able to pass all the customers.
Is there any other way to pass the large string in the drill down?
Hi
I sent a long string of ID from front end to my stored procedure...till now I was using varchar(8000)...but if the string crossess that limit it is breaking.
If I try to use text datatype..It doesn't support rtrim, stuff functions etc...
So could any one suggest me a best way to save a long string without any restriction of size...
My front end is C#.Net and Back End is SQL SERVER 2000
Thanks in advance
Hello! This is my scenario...
Development - Visual Studio 2005
Database - MS SQL 2005
I have written a stored procedure that has a output parameter whose type is NVARCHAR(MAX). Then I use C# to wrap this stored procedure in OLEDB way. That means the OleDbType for that parameter is VarWChar.
This works fine if the string size is less than 4000. If more than 4000, the remaining part will be chopped off. The situation gets worst if I replace VarWChar with LongVarWChar. There is no error nor warning at compiling time. But there is an exception at run time.
So... Does anyone here can help me out? Thanks in advance.
Hello:I didn't find any documentation that notes save point names are casesensitive, but I guess they are...Stored Proc to reproduce:/* START CODE SNIPPET */If Exists (Select * From sysobjects Where Type = 'P' and Name ='TestSaveTran')Drop Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranGoCreate Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranAsBeginDeclare@tranCount int--Transaction HandlingSelect @tranCount = @@TRANCOUNTIf (@tranCount=0)Begin Tran localtranElseSave Tran localtranBegin Try--Simulate Error While ProcessingRAISERROR('Something bad happened', 16, 1)/*If this proc started transaction then commit it,otherwise return and let caller handle transaction*/IF (@tranCount=0)Commit Tran localtranEnd TryBegin Catch--Rollback to save pointRollback Tran LOCALTRAN --<< NOTE case change--Log Error--Reraise ErrorEnd CatchEndGo--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/*Should receive the following message:Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN. No transaction or savepoint of that namewas found.*//* END CODE SNIPPET */What is really strange, if there is a transaction open, then no erroris thrown. So if you execute as so:/* START CODE SNIPPET */Begin Tran--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/* END CODE SNIPPET */There is no "Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN...." message.Questions:1-)Can someone confirm save point names are case sensitve and this isnot happening because of a server setting?2-)Is this a logic error that I am not seeing in the example codeabove?We have changed our code to store the save point name in a variable,which will hopefully mitigate this "problem".Thx.

I need to save all the DML related queries which is executed in my Database
how can i do it?
what are the possible ways to do it.
The XML generated by notifications object needs to be saved. Where do I save it - in the database. That will still be stored in a table - with drawbacks!
View 6 Replies View Relatedguys,I have a project need to move more than 100,000 records from onedatabase table to another database table every week. Currently, usersinput date range from web UI, my store procedure will take those dateranges to INSERT records to a table in another database, then deletethe records, but it will take really long time to finish this action(up to 1 or 2 hours).My question is if there is some other way I should do to speed up theaction, I am thinking about use bcp to copy those records to datafileand then use bcp to insert it into SQL Server table. Is this the rightway to do it or should I consider other solution (then, what is thesolution.)Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
Can someone please brief me on how to save 'pdf' files(there are about 15 files) into a SQL database and retrieve/open it from a datagrid?
I have about 15 pdf files on my webserver and need to save it in the SQL database, so every pdf file saved in the database will have a primary key and the file will be saved either as 'ntext' or 'binary' type...I just have this rough idea.
If someone has a ready code in VB.net then nothing better( i know thats a shortcut :) but it will help me like a tutorial. C# code will do too, I can then convert the code to Vb.net
Thanks a ton.
1-I want to save records from a table located in my database1 on Server1 to a non existing table in another database2 in another server2. (The destination table doesn t exist, I want it to be created with T-SQL). How can I do that using T-SQL
2- Also, is there an other better practice to back up my table before I do some dammage inintentially and destroy the table or the records forever or does SQL server do that automatically for us.
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Hello,
A database EntryForm has a MenuStrip. How could the Menustrip implemented that it would have a Save and Restore data to the database for backup purposes?
What is the Menustrip for? None of the standard Items seems to work. What can be printed or previewed?
This question is NOT about how to save the data into the database from the EntryForm.
Thanks for any answer,

Hi,
I'm using Visual Studio and Visual Basic to save data about members in a database.
I use SQL-database as it's included.
However, I'm new to this saving in the datbase and wonder how I can at the best save data about a member without having to index each value in the arrays:
The array has 2 index and is declared
dim Results(6, 50) as string
Of course, I can do results11, results12,... results150, results21, ...results250....
But it seems rather awkward to do it this way. I'm sure that there is a better way.
Thanks, any assistance is appriciated!
Best wishes, Per

Hi !
I am creating a website with a form that users can fill up the
information. This form is about the school's information of the users.
After fill up this form, the users will have to click the submit button
that will submit the form to be saved in a database.
I have created the database for that form. My question is how can I
save the result of this form to my database. Let's say I have 5
textboxes in that form, name, school's name, school's address, major,
and comments.
thanks a lot in advanced!
Hi,
For some reason I can't use the edit, update or insert features on my remote shared server, so I am looking to create a web page that has text boxes on it, that I can enter data into, that will be saved into my database.
This is opposed to entering the data directly into the database itself. I want to be able to use a webpage, for simply adding new data, and saving it so that the new data updates and saves over the top of the old data.
What are the steps involved in doing this?
Any example code for just one text box would be appreciated, I could then extend it to suit my needs. Tia.

I am using bcp to import data into a table usign format file. when I put 0 in the table column(as it is shown here) it means that I am not bcp in the field values into the table. what I get in return is (NULL) for all those columns that has 0 in the format file.....
My Questions is Am I saving space in the table when I use this process, or (NULL) will take space like an actual value ?
I hope I explained my question clearly... Thanks for your input

I am working on a ASP.NET 2.0 project with an SQL 2005 database.
I created a documents table with various columns including:
DocumentId and DocumentUrl
My documents will always be PDF's of SWF's (Flash Paper Files)
I will need to display this files in my web pages.
My question is:
Should I save the DocumentUrl in the database or should I save the file itself in the database?
And how can I save files in an SQL 2005 database?

Hi,
i have a richtextbox control in my application, and want to know how to save and retrieve formatted text in a MS SQL DB.
I found this example in the forum, but I don't know how to use it. Can you please help me solve the problem? Where should I write the code below?
I've just tried it and able to do this successfully.
I basically did this:
load the RTF into the RTB control
created a SQL command, simple basic insert statement:
SqlCommand theSQLCommand = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO [TableName] (Field) VALUES (@p1)");
SqlParameter theSQLParameter = new SqlParameter("@p1", SqlDbType.Text);
theSQLParameter.Value = this.theRichTextBox.RTF;
theSQLCommand.Parameters.Add(theSQLParameter);
theSQLCommand.Connection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString);
theSQLCommand.Connection.Open();
theSQLCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
theSQLCommand.Connection.Close();
then to retrieve it, I did this, again, specifically for this example
this.theRichTextBox.Text = String.Empty;
SqlCommand theSQLCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT [Field] FROM [TableName] WHERE [ID] = 1");
theSQLCommand.Connection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString);
theSQLCommand.Connection.Open();
SqlDataReader theReader = theSQLCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
while (theReader.Read())
{
this.theRichTextBox.RTF = theReader.GetValue(0).ToString();
}
theSQLCommand.Connection.Close();
And was able to do this fine and got all the formatting etc... correctly.
I am studying indexes and keys. I have a table that has a fixed width of data to be loaded in the first column which is parsed in a view based on data types within the fixed width specifications.
Example column A:
(name phone house cost of house,zipcodecountystatecountry)
-a view will later split this large varchar string basedÂ
column b: is the source filename of the data load (varchar 256)
....
a. would there be a benefit of adding a clustered or nonclustered index (if so which/point in direction on why)
b. is there benefit of making one of these two columns a primary key (millions of records) or for adding a 3rd new column as a pk?
c. view: this parses the data in column a so it ends up looking more like "name phone house cost of house zipcode county state country" each having their own column.
-any pros/cons of adding indexes (if so which) to the view instead of the tables or both for once the data is parsed?
