I have a problem with importing text into a database.
I have an application in .net where I fill a textbox with a certain text. When I press a button the text shall be separated and inserted into a database. The big question here is: how do I seperate the text so I get it into different colums in the database?
I know there is someting called InString, should I use this or is there an other way? I was thinking I could use a stored procedure.
i need some assistance.. i have couple of .txt file to import into database.. @ the moment i am doing by improting process in sql management.. but it's realy pain and time taking.. i got a stander file format that i import,. and the destination table if exist then ookay otherwise i just create one ..
Is it possible that i can write a Store procedure so that i can use that .... Please help me.. i dont' a single clue about this..
i have an excel sheet in it there is a column that holds values of item numbers some of these values are preceeded with zeros E.G "00123" (with out the ") when i view the data in excel i get this little green corner whice states (when pressed) that these values are numbers stoerd as text. no inside the excel sheet i have no problem with that but when i try to import the excel sheet into ssis using an excel source task all these values are imported as nulls!!!
i am lost i tried converting the format of these cells to numbers but then i loose the leading zeros what i done temporarly to solve this problem is to accept excel's suggestion and turn these values into numbers i then import them and convert them to strings in ssis and then ad dthe zeros. now althouge this works, this isnt realy a solution. i canot manualy correct each excel file each time i get a new copy and in the future i will not have the luxuery of having fixed lenght values (so i wont be able to know how many zeroe i"d need to add)
there must be a better way please help thanks in advance Daniel
Hi, I am trying to import a database from other server which is in sql2000 to server in sql 2005, i can successfully import all the tables but not able to import the stored procedure. Can any one suggest me the method to import stored procedure from other server.
I have text data files from a third party and they use comma as field delimiters and enclose the text for each column in double-quotes. Not a problem for most of the data files until they start sending files where there is " within the column values. SSIS package fails with the error:
The column delimiter for column "Column 1" was not found.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.Thankspcp
How can I determine the length of a text value from a column defined as text? Len works really well with char and varchar but not text. How can I do it?
Hi,I've got some XML which exists as a text variable in a temp table in SQL Server 2000.I need to pass this XML into sp_xml_preparedocument so I can rebuild a table out of it. But I can't figure out the syntax.If I try doing this:declare @idoc intexec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, (select XmlResult from #cache)I get an error, with or without the brackets round the select statement.The temp table is created using an SP, but I can't call that directly either. This:declare @idoc intexec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, exec Search$GetCache @searchIDAlso throws an error.I can't put it into a local variable because they can't be of type text. I can't pass it into the SP somewhere as it's being generated on the fly.How can I get my xml into sp_xml_preparedocument?Cheers,Matt
I am trying to inject dynamically generated text into a Sql2000 stored procedure. What am I doing wrong?A code behind routine generates the following string value based on a visitor entering 'sail boats' in TextBox1. The routine splits the entry and creates the below string.Companies.L_Keywords LIKE '%sail%' AND Companies.L_Keywords LIKE '%boats%' I am trying to place this string result in the WHERE statement of a Sql2000 Stored Procedure using parameter @VisitorKeywords. PROCEDURE dbo.KWsearchAS SELECT DISTINCT Companies.L_Name, Companies.L_ID, Companies.L_EnabledWHERE ( @visitorKeywords ) AND (Companies.L_Enabled = 1)ORDER BY Companies.L_Name I am wanting the resulting WHERE portion to be: WHERE ( Companies.L_Keywords LIKE '%sail%' AND Companies.L_Keywords LIKE '%boats%' ) AND (Companies.L_Enabled = 1) Thank you
I need to be able to send a text file with data seperated by tabs to a stored procedure that populates my table.
I am new to SQL and SPROCs that I am not sure how to even start. If you guys have any ideas I would really like to hear them or maybe any on-line docs and examples.
I have stored procedure which need 4 input variables. I want to send the stored procedure output to Table or text file. Is there any way I can do it let me know. Here is the stored procedure.
Is it possible to create a stored procedure which will create a text file (containing information from some tables) and send it via e-mail to a list of user.
I know that I will have to configure the SQL Mail.
If it is possible, can someone give me sample code.
I want to sort a stored procedure based on a variable passed to it... what is the easiest way to do this? Here's an example of what I want to do:
sp_select_thing 10, 'thing_name', 'asc'
It would run the query then somehow evaluate parameters 2 and 3 to be placed in the ORDER BY clause. I'm not sure if they should be quoted as strings or not, I don't have an idea how to pass a "reference to a variable" as a parameter to a stored procedure... or even if such a thing is possible
I have data in text files ( not in csv format but in a properitary format). My requirment is to read the text files and parse it into corresponding data and then store it into the MSSQL Server Database.
Is there any way to do this by using Stored Procedure or extended stored prodcedure in SQL Server. Or is there any other way to do this in SQL Server. My database is there in SQL 2000.
I have a sp which saves the necessary information regarding the status of action(whether success or failure, rows affected etc) to a log table say( StatusLog )After this, I was sending a database mail with information taken from the log table via sp_send_dbmail. Now I would like to write the status information to a 'txt' file instead of sending via mail.How can I write to a text file from a stored procedure in ms sql server 2005?
Want to write from a table variable to a text file from a stored procedure.Read about xp_cmdshell bcp etc. but worried because it's supposed to be a security problem and needs to be from a permanent database.Also am getting error "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell'..."
1. Is xp_cmdshell a bad idea to use even if I get permissions ? 2. Can a "permanent" table be used in a stored procedure starting out fresh each time with 0 rows rather than use a table variable ?
Greetings,I have a sp that dumps text into a textfile but I am having troublecreating the textfile.EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdShell '\servernamed$The Filesubfilename.dat'The directory "The File" has a space in it. I've tried putting thecarat ^ before the space, and putting double quotes...but I keepgetting this error'\servernamed$The' is not recognized as an internal or externalcommand, operable program or batch file.If I do EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdShell '"\servernamed$TheFilesubfilename.dat"' I get the same thing.If I do EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdShell '""\servernamed$TheFilesubfilename.dat""' I get'"\servernamed$The Filesubfilename.dat"'is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable programor batch file.Does anybody see what I am doing wrong?
In SQL 2005 (we use Enterprise 64-bit SP2), the users cannot see thetext of the stored procedures, functions, etc.This is a production database, so I cannot give them rights to modifythem, but they need to be able to see what the procs are doing.I didn't have this problem in 2000 - how can I adjust the privilegesto allow them to view the contents of the Programmability objects?thanks for any insight!!Tracy
Hello, I was wondering if you could help resolve a simple question - namely how to input a type text value as a parameter to a stored procedure, which expects that type of input.
Text type variables are not allowed and casting to varchar in this case will not work as the input will be far longer than 8000 characters.
hi in my front end i have one text area where user can input his sql statements. for samller data its working. the data type of coulmn is Text in sql server 2005. but problem is when i try to store this data its showing error.i meant not storing data at all. if i cut some of line from this then in this case it stores the data .what should i do to overcome this problem
thanx a lot.

Hi, I'm new to ASP.NET 2.0. I have a sqldatasource and a formview controls on a web page and inside the formview control I have two textboxes. When I click the UPDATE button in the formview, I'd like to be able to retrieve the values of the textboxes inside the formview control and pass these values to a 'Update' SQL stored procedure defined in the Sqldatasource. Does anyone know how I can do this? Hope my question is clear. Thanks in advance. hakl
I have a problem I can't seem to find the solution with this aweful limitations on VARCHAR fields of 255.
Within a stored procedure called Store_Check, I need to dynamically build a string (@string) using VARCHAR(255) since the text datatype can't be used in a stored procedure.
So,this string is built according to whether the Store ID is NOT NULL. So if the StoreID is not null, I start building this string 'Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID1, @address2'. There are 20 StoreID's passed into Store_Check. IF all 20 StoreID's are not NULL, the executed String greatly exceeds 255 because the string winds up looking like this
I am not executing this string within the StoredCheck procedure. It needs to be passed as ONE string to a VB program and it gets executed by the VB program. Even if I create 4 local variables and concatenate them, it stops at the 255th character.
Also, a local varialbe of type TEXT cannot be declared within stored procedure.
'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID '
If i Replace @EmpFilterAddDuty with this in a QUERY, it gives me the expected result, but if i try to execute the stored procedure.:
DECLARE@return_value int EXEC@return_value = [dbo].[EP_Conterbalances] @Start_Date_For_Totals_Date = N'20120831', @EmpFilterAddDuty = 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B
[Code] .....
I get this error code:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID ' to data type int.
I really do not understand why SQL 2012 tries to convert the value to an int, and I want to know how to pass the text string.
I need to create a stored procedure that allows a full text search with multiple filters. The FTS is a three variable proximity (x near y near z) drawing from three textboxes which works fine in my VB application:
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, ' """ & SearchTerm1 & """ NEAR """ & SearchTerm2 & """ NEAR """ & SearchTerm3 & """ ')
The filters consist of 4 comboboxes and 2 textboxes. I am trying to use the dynamic SQL approach found here:
http://www.sommarskog.se/dyn-search.html
The dynamic SQL in the stored procedure that I have created based on this model works fine for filtering, but I have not been able to get my FTS query integrated with it. I have tried various ways of declaring the SearchTerms as parameters, etc. but no luck.
Any help in getting this to work (or advice for using a different approach that is more appropriate) would be greatly appreciated.
FROM FullDocuments INNER JOIN Details ON FullDocuments.FullDocNo = Details.FullDocNo WHERE 1 = 1 AND CONTAINS(SectionText, @searchterm1 NEAR @searchterm2 NEAR @searchterm3)'
IF @fulldocno IS NOT NULL SELECT @sql = @sql + ' AND FullDocuments.fulldocno = @xfulldocno'
IF @DocType IS NOT NULL SELECT @sql = @sql + ' AND FullDocuments.DocType = @xDocType'
IF @year IS NOT NULL SELECT @sql = @sql + ' AND Details.year = @xyear'
IF @sex IS NOT NULL SELECT @sql = @sql + ' AND Details.sex = @xsex'
IF @category IS NOT NULL SELECT @sql = @sql + ' AND Details.category = @xcategory'
IF @agenum IS NOT NULL SELECT @sql = @sql + ' AND Details.agenum = @xagenum'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' ORDER BY FullDocuments.FullDocumentID'
We have a legacy database that have hundreds of stored procedures.
The previous programmar uses a string like servername.databasename.dbo.tablename in the stored procedures. We now have migrated the database to a new server. The old server is either needed to be replaced by the new server name, or remove it.
I don't know why he used servername as part of the fully qualified name, we don't use linked servers. So I think better removing the servername in all the stored procedures.
I know I can do a generate script, and replace the text and then use alter procedure to recreate all the stored procedures. But since hundreds of them, is there a programmatically way to replace them?
Hello,I am currently trying to assign some string to a TEXT output parameterof a stored procedure.The basic structure of the stored procedure looks like this:-- 8< --CREATE PROCEDURE owner.StoredProc(@blob_data image,@clob_data text OUTPUT)ASINSERT INTO Table (blob_data, clob_data) VALUES (@blob_data, @clob_data);GO-- 8< --My previous attempts include using the convert function to convert astring into a TEXT data type:SET @clob_data = CONVERT(text, 'This is a test');Unfortunately, this leads to the following error: "Error 409: Theassignment operator operation cannot take a text data type as an argument."Is there any alternative available to make an assignment to a TEXToutput parameter?Regards,Thilo
How can I make a stored procedure which has a output parameter withtext data type? My procedure is:CREATE PROCEDURE try@outPrm text OutputASselect @outPrm =(select field1 from databaseName Wherefield2='12345')GOHere field1 is text data type.Thanks
I have a C# SQL 2005 .net stored procedure which scrubs a text file looking for characters not in a range of characters and replacing them with another character. This works fine except when the process is killed. When this happens the file handle of the file being scrubbed is not released. I use a try catch finally block when opening the file and the output file. The finally section fiushes the output file and closes all files and streams but still when I go to access the file again or use the file in explorer it says the file is still in use. Should I be handling this some other way? How do I know the files will always be closed correctly.
I thought this would be quite simple but can't find the correct syntax:ALTER Procedure usp_Product_Search_Artist_ProductTitle
(@ProductTitle varchar(255))
AS
SELECT ProductTitle
FROM tbl_Product
WHERE CONTAINS(dbo.tbl_Product.ProductTitle, @ProductTitle) My problem is that if I pass "LCD Flat Screen" as teh @ProductTitle parameter the query falls over as it contains spaces. Guess i'm looking for something like: WHERE CONTAINS(dbo.tbl_Product.ProductTitle, '"' + @ProductTitle + "'")Thanks in advance.R
