Saving UTF-8 In SQL Server 2005
Jan 2, 2008
How can I save UTF-8 strings in SQL Server 2005? I don't want to use nvarchar as it would take a lot of space and most of my text will be in latin characters (and it doesn't fully support all unicode code points anyway as it uses UCS2, I'm talking about the supplementary plane here which I know is very rarely used and most unicode fonts don't support it but it's still possible to be used at least in the future). I read in this KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232580) that my only option is to use varbinary, I'm worried though whether this could affect performance as I never used varbinary before .. I read in the same article that I cannot use varchar to store UTF-8 which I can't really understand, doesn't varchar use the whole 256 values to save character data according to the code page used? what makes UTF-8 characters not valid for being stored as varchar strings? (what I mean here is that I can do the conversion manually from varchar to UTF-8 but I only want to save the data in the varchar columns)
Any suggestions are highly appreciated..

hello,I am building a web page in asp.net 2.0 and i'm looking for a way to save various files uploaded by users (such as doc, pdf, cs, txt .... whatever). Obviously the normal way would be to store it on the filesystem of the web server (or any other middleware server).But I am asking if there is a way to store these files in the database, and not affect too much of the performance of the web page?I know a picture can be stored easily, but what about all the other file types? I would appreciate if someone can spead light of the subject.Thanks,Tranquil.

I have in the past created stored procedures using SQL Server 2000. It was easy to do. Now I am using SQL Server 2005 and the whole process is different and confusing to me. I performed the following steps to create a stored procedure:
1.) In SQL Server management studio, I wen to the folder named "Stored Procedures"2.) I right clicked on this folder and selected "New Stored Procedure..."3.) A generic sql server stored procedure is created for me.4.) I modify the stored procedure and now want to save it?
Now where do I go from here? How should I properly save this new stored procedure and where should I save it?I noticed that a generic name is assigned such as SQLQuery13.sql, but I want to name it something else.
I actually saved the new stored procedure but I can't see it listed under the "Stored Procedures" folder. I even tried doing a refresh.

Hi,
As you can see, I'm totally new at Sql Server.
I have a problem, I store text into a nvarchar field (could be a 200 or 20,000 characters long string), inside the text there are several carriage returns which I would like to preserve to later presentation, but when retreiving the data from sql server I got the "cr" as "?", also I opened the database from Sql Managment and all cr's were saved as "?".
What can I do to preserve the cr inside each field ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi friends,
I couldn't find links for this issue.
1) How to write the contents of a dataset or a full resultset (from execute sql task) directly into a Sql Server 2005 table.
2) Since I have hundreds of Resulting columns, I want to create the Destination table based on the structure of the dataset.
How can we achieve this?
Thanks

VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time!
And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy.
I just simply could NOT get it to work.
You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question:
Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?
- NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO )
Then select the tables you want in the DataSet.
and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details
Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control
and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there.
Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes
and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets,
(a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database)
the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets.
YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM.
Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker

Hi Guys,
I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.
Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.
All ideas gratefully received!

Hello there,
I was thinking about saving some files in a SQL Server DB and then reading those back to the client for download. Any warnings that I should know about before doing so? The files will generally be at most 2mb in probably .pdf format. I've heard bad things about doing this in Access...but then again, SQL Server isn't access.

I have a problem. The thing is that when I enter the values in a text boxes like evendate.text = "02/11/07" and desc.text="hello how r u" then I click on Save Button and its save in the SQL DATABASE but after this if I click on Refresh Button every time from the internet Explorer its automatically again save the data in the database although I have empty the textboxes.
The code is below:
<script runat="server"> sub SaveEvent(sender as object, e as EventArgs) dim con as new SQLConnection("server=london-home; Database=tony; uid=rashid2; pwd=test; ")
dim cmd as new SQLCommand("insert into events values('" & desc.text & "','" & DateTime.Parse(eventdate.text) & "')",con) con.open() cmd.executenonquery() con.close() clearform() display() end sub sub display() dim con as new SQLConnection("server=london-home; Database=tony; uid=rashid2; pwd=test; ") dim cmd as new SQLCommand("select * from events",con) con.open() dim SDR as SQLDataReader SDR = cmd.ExecuteReader() if SDR.HasRows = true then ViewEvents.DataSource = SDR ViewEvents.DataBind() end if con.close() end sub sub clearform() eventdate.text="" desc.text="" end sub sub Reset(sender as object, e as EventArgs) clearform() end sub</script>

Someone:
I have the need to upload a file via a webpage and then save that file into the database. I would also like to retrieve it and show it to the user.
Can someone show me an example of how this should be done. Also I am concerned of the pros and cons of saving files in the database. Is there a performance hit on the server? Will it make the database unstable? Has anyone had problems doing this?
Any suggestions, samples, and/or help are welcome.

Hi all,
I have a replicated table with a column which is used to store sound files - it is of type varbinary(MAX).
What is the best way to store a file from the filesystem inside this column on the PDA side (i.e. inside SQL Server CE) without loading the whole file into the PDA's memory, i.e. using some sort of buffering?
On full SQL Server 2005 I make use of UPDATE.WRITE() to save buffers inside the column - is there an alternative to this on SQL Server CE? Can anyone provide sample code / point me to samples that deal with SQL Server CE & BLOBs.
Thanks for your help!

I am using SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studio 2005 and I am a newbie.
Once connected to a remote server and database I am able to use SQL Server Management Studio to modify a table and save it. When I modify a stored procedure or create a new one and attempt to save it I get my local dialog box to save to my system with a new name €œSQLQuery6.sql.€? How do I cause the procedure to be saved to the remote database? If anyone can help this or where I can find it I will appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Running SQL 2005 on a dedicated Dual Xeon 8MB RAM AND 6x 160GB HDDS RAID-5. Front end App Access 2002. I have to main concerns. 1. When users are enter data and saving all of a sudden all users get stuck upon saving and requires to reboot the server to operate again. Th eproblem is that this happens 3 to 5 times a day. Also searching records with one word takes very long time sometimes even minutes, but queries having two or more words come up fast. Also single word queries come up with erratic results, sometimes 200 titles and than a second search comes up with 31,000. *** Can anyone come up with any ideas "off the cuff" on how I canstart to resolve these issues. Can these issues be related?

I want to save every query executed from a given software, let's say Multi Script for example, and save in a table query text, execution time and rows count among other possible useful information. Right now I've created a sp and a job that runs every 1 milliseconds but I can't figure out how to get execution time and rows count. Another problem with this is that if the query takes too long I end up with several rows in my table.
