Special/Foreign Language Characters Issue

Sep 19, 2006

Hi,
 
We have a package that does a simple table to table data loading. Both source and destination have the same Codepage (850) and collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AI). However, there are some foreign language characters in the source table, and it gets messed up when it's loaded into the target.
 
Here's an example for a column with this type of text:
 
Source: Soluþ§es Informßt
Target: Solu– ºes Inform–€t
 
Both columns are char(30).
 
I have tried to load this row into another server in a different location and it works just fine, however the original target of data displays the text incorrectly.
 
I have no idea what can be causing this.
 
Thanks,
Kervy

Special Characters

Apr 2, 2008

Our SQL 2005 databases have "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"
collation settings on the server. One of tables has one column declared as "ntext".
When we try to insert "‚¬" character directly trough insert statement and retrieve it, we're getting right results. When we use web-services to insert data with this character (euro), and retrieving the data back, we're not getting this sign back. We are getting some characters like little squares. If I try to copy and paste them into notepad, I am getting ???
However, when I tried to place them here, I got them right:

‚¬ Å Å¡ Ž ž Å’ Å“ Ÿ

How can we assure visually they are inserted properly?

BCP Issue-Special Characters

Jul 6, 2000

Iam working on sql server 7.0.

I have to bring in data from a text file into the sql server database. I use the BCP utility in pulling the data.

The flat file data contains special characters like ®. This is the registered trade mark symbol. When I bcp the file using the character mode the special characters are automatically changed to «. So If I am going to pull a data like ACRYLON®, after the BCP I get it as ACRYLON«.

Inorder to replace all these I have written a program but since it has to scan every record the time taken is more. Will in be possible to accomodate iun the BCP to pull the data with special characters.

If you have an answer to this please reply soon.

Thanks,

Special Characters - Search In DB

Mar 6, 2001

Hi !

I have an DB in SQL Server 7, and in Portuguese we have special characters like "á","õ",etc. And I want to let the visitor to a site to do a search (written in ASP), and not to need to write the correct way (without the accents). But either he writes or not in the correct way, the results are the same, not necessarly in the same order. Is there a SQL Server mechanism that permits this functionality, without doing a very complicated SELECT (takes a lot of time) or replicating a field in the DB (takes a lot of extra space)...

Thanks !

German Special Characters

Apr 13, 2003

I have a problem inserting German special chracters into a MSSql table.

üöäÖ works fine, but ßÜÄ are reduced to "_". I'm using a html form and a php script to enter the data into the database. Any idea why this isn't working? Funny thing is, when I use a german version of the SQL Server it also works without a problem... but I need this to work on ANY mssql server. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Treatment Of Special Characters

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,This is a generic question, but for arguement's sake, let's say, myenvironment is SQL Server 2000.It seems that setting quoted_identifier off is the best way toaccomodate all sort of data input/update especially for data set thatcontains special characters like single quote as in O'Brien, otherfunky stuff like %^$*@#(!).However, this option won't help with a situation like data value of5'9",and let's say, we really can't predicate if this type of value will beused for ColA or ColB or ColC ...Examplecreate table #tmp (col1 varchar(30));set quoted_identifier off;insert into #tmp values("O'Brien's barking dog'");-- successinsert into #tmp values("O'book has funky (%^$*7) stuff");-- successinsert into #tmp values("John said "funky is OK" in his speech");-- failedGlobaly search and replace the double quotes before insert/update isjust too "expensive", not a good option.Now, if we can set a custom quoted_identifier, we can solve the aboveproblem easily, for instance,if MS SQL Server permits/acceptsset quoted_identier = '//$$';theninsert into #tmp values(//$$John said "funky is OK" in hisspeech//$$);(or the like)would succeedAny other thoughts/ideas? Thanks.Quote "Never stop thinking even though at times it may produce waste,which we all do, btw :) "

Spaces And Special Characters

Aug 31, 2007

Good day
I've looked for information about this but to no avail. Essentially why does Reporting Services not support spaces and special characters in a Field Name?
I know that SQL supports spaces utilizing [] brackets e.g. [Field Name With Spaces]. So how come RS doesn't?
Thanks

Finding Duplicates Regardless Of Special Characters - Help Plz

Nov 22, 2005

I am trying to move distinct data from one table to another based on two columns regardless of special characters such as : ( ) ; ' " / - _ = >< etc. The two columns that are the defining factors that I need to match as duplicates are Col1 & Col3, the rest I want to get the maximum data from each column for that row (I hope this made sense).

Here is what I have tried, but it does not seem to work:

Code:


select
ID,
Col1,
max(Col2)as Col2,
Col3,
max(Col4)as Col4,
max(Col5)as Col5,
max(Col6)as Col6,
max(Col7)as Col7,
max(Col8)as Col8,
max(Col9)as Col9
where patindex('%[^-:]%',Col1) = 0 AND patindex('%[^-:]%',Col3) = 0
into Newtable
from dbo.CLEANING_bk
group by Col1,Col3



Basically if there are 10 rows of duplicate data based on Col1 & Col3 (regardless of special characters), I want to move the distinct info to a new table with the maximum amount of info from the other columns of the duplicate rows.

If row 3, 4,5, & 6 are all considered duplicate and Row3/Col2 has info in it that row 4 & 5/Col2 does not, I want to combine it with the single row I export to the new table retaining as much information from the rows of the duplicates as possible.

Can anyone help and let me know why my script is not wanting to play nice?

Search By Ignoring Special Characters

Dec 14, 2011

In our schools we have a number of East-European, Turkish, Scandinavian, ... students. Their names contain "special" characters, like Ö, Ü, Ø, ... Our users want to be able to search for student names without having to enter those special characters. Most often they don't know the exact spelling of the names and they get "no match found" messages as a result.

They want to have persons with the name Ösgür, Osgueld, ... in the result set after entering "osgu" in the search field.

What is the best way to do this? I was thinking about using another collation near the LIKE, but I don't know if that would work and how it should be done. The Database collation is Latin1_General_CI_AS.

T-SQL Special Characters (bold Font)

Jan 19, 2008



Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to insert a special character that will make the values in the column BOLD when I use that table as reference in my Word Mailmerge. For starters, I was able to insert char(10) as carriage return, so when I use the values from that table in my mailmerge, the char(10) is effective, meaning, the carriage returrn is working, but how about making the font bold? Please help.

Example is:

insert into table(customer_address)
values ("123 hayworth drive" + char(10) + "new land grove" + char(10) + "chicago" + char(10))

This value when used in a Word Mailmerge, will be displayed as:
123 hayworth drive
new land grove
chicago

Now, how do I insert a special character for bold font?

Special Characters In A Dropdown List

Nov 2, 2006

I have a web form that needs to be bilingual. It contains several dropdown lists. The "text" and "value" for each item in the dropdown list is retrieved from a database. The logic reads the database and then populates the various dropdowns with logic such as:

dim newItem as new ListItem(textString, valueString)

theDropDown.items.add(newItem)

The problem that I am having occurs when the textString needs to contains special characters such as accented vowels or an "n" with a tilde. I have tried populating the database with HTML-formatted strings such as "Avi&oacute;n", hoping that this would display "Avion" with an accute accent over the "o". Unfortunately it displays "Avi&oacute;n".

How do I get dynamically-created dropdowns to display special characters? If the answer is to simply store the special characters directly in the database, then the question becomes how do I get the special characters into the database? I tried to figure out how to write a T-SQL command such as

update tablex set SpanishName = 'Avion' where id=999

but I can't figure out the syntax to insert an accented 'o' into the string.

Thanks.

Data Export - How To Strip Out The Special Characters

Nov 10, 2005

Hey everyone!
I'm doing an export from SQL into excel spreadsheet and then am going to clean out certain parts of the data with global search/replace. The problem is that the SQL data is full of special characters such as |'s and the little box looking characters.
How do I export without these characters?
I know its possible, I did it about 2 years ago and remember I did some crazy file conversion (make wk3 or something) but I no longer remember
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Geoff

PS, attached is a screenshot of the data to give you an idea of what I'd like to strip!

Removing Special Characters From Existing Data

Jun 1, 2006

I have a table with several columns of information that I wish to set up some form of schedule to go through this data and remove any special characters that may interfere with other code processes.

Mainly the coma's and the apostrophes. It really messes with my asp pages and scripts when retrieving this information and trying to do other things with it, so I need to figure out how to remove these from the tables so it does not cause these issues.

Knowing this, I cannot figure out how to keep the data in the row/column and just extract the special characters from that data. The other problem is, everything I try requires me to insert either a coma or apostrophe as part of the code string which in lies my issue.

How can I parse through my data, leave the data as-is, but just get rid of coma's, apostrophes, and double quotes?

Does anyone have a basic example that I can use to expand on?
