Storing And Retrieving Line Breaks/newlines From Multi-line Textbox (C#)
Aug 31, 2007I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum (forgive me if I'm not) since I'm not sure if this is an issue with inserting an item into a db or the processing of what I get out of it. I wrote a basic commenting system in which someone my post a comment about something written on the site. I wanted to keep it very simple, but I at least want the ability for a user to have newlines in their comment without having to hardcode a <br /> or something like that. Is there a way for me to detect a newline if someone, for example, is going to their next paragraph?
Let me know if you need a better explanation.
Thanks in advance!
Sql Server Not Preserving Newlines In String
Jan 5, 2008I usually do this in VB, so I'm pretty sure my problem is related to c#. I'm trying to save the contents of a multiline textbox into a SQL server NTEXT field. When I do the insert, the SQL looks like (I'm using a stored procedure):
pr_Update 8,1,'line1
line2'
You can see that C# replaced the newline character with
When I look in the table using the management studio, I see line1 (then two boxes) then line2. After I do a select, the string returned is line1
How do I insert text from a multiline text box into sql server, and get it back with the newlines?
Thanks! ---Selden

Which Is Better? Storing Data In The Database OR Storing It In The File System
Dec 29, 2006Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?

Dec 16, 1999I need to store a user ID of whoever made the last change to a record in a table. I have added a field with a default set to 'suser_sid()'.
Is it wise to store SID's in a database table if you are using NT authentication? My concerns are that if the user is deleted by the NT system administrator then I lose data integrety also if the database is backed up and restored onto a different machine with different users it won't work at all.
I'd be grateful for any help with this.

Storing Images
Jan 24, 2007Hi, can someone help me with this problem. I have recently downloaded VWD and have been playing around with it a bit. I was windering how do I add an image file to a SQL database. I have used SQL in the past but I have never store an image in it. I can add text data and so forth, but I need some pointers into adding images to the sql database. I want to be able to store the images and then retrieve them to a GridView. I have the images in an image folder within the website, but I do not know how to input the reference or link to the images in an sql table.
A quick example, say I have a table called Images, with the following info:imgID (int)imgDesc (varchar(max)imgFile (img)imgTitle (varchar(20))
To input this in sql I would write Insert Into Images (imgDesc,imgFile,imgTitle) Values ("Large fishy", "", "The Big Fish") what would I need to put for imgFile?
I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.

Oct 20, 2004My forms are taking user input, then HtmlEncoding them prior to being stored in the SQL DB. For some reason, SQL is storing quotes as � and it is causing the HTML when decoded in the page to not be rendered properly.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
For example (without encoding for readability):
SQL should store the parsed string as: <a href="someurl" class="main">
but for some reason it's being stored as: <a href=�someurl� class=�main�>.

Jun 7, 1999Hello All!
Can some one give SQL Statement on storing images from disk to the database columns.
Once I store the image how do I test it out that the image is stored correctly?
For example this is what I did
I have a table called table1., field called name
insert into table1(name) values(C:123.bmp)
Is the above statement correct? will it store the file or not?
if it does store them then how do I view them?
Can some one please help me...

Storing XML In Database
Jul 20, 2012best way to store questionnaire data in a database.Since different questionnairs have different questions and formats i.e dropdown, radio, checkboxes etc building such a database model becomes highly complex.
I've read that if data schema is complex and higly variable it may be better to use an xml document and store that in a databse. However I dont quite understand how you store xml to a database. Do you simply store the entire structure in something like a nvarchar column or is there some other way to store xml to a database.
If you store the entire structure to the databse then how do you query the content to generate reports.
example xml:
Code:

<meta>
<id>sample</id>
</meta>
<questions>
<question id="1" type="singlechoice" page="1">

Storing Hours
Mar 17, 2004I use SQL 2K with an Access 2000 project as front end. I have four date fields in a table. The first one should contain a date (eg 20th of February), the second one a starting hour (eg 8:00h), the third one the finishing hour (eg 10:00h) and the fourth should calculate the difference between the second and third column.
So I created four datetime fields. Storing a date in the first column is no problem, but storing only hours doesn't seem to do what I want. When I enter 8:00 from within the Access, it is stored 1/1/1900 8:00 in SQL Server. How can I make sure that the hours are saved with the date of the second column, so either as 8:00 without further information or as eg 20-2-2004 8:00?

Storing A Value, Vs Computing A Value
Sep 5, 2007Hi,
I'm having a DB designed for me, and I'm inspecting it and wondering what in general is the better way to do this.
We have a product, which we are counting "product views". The DB designer has created columns called "view_today" and "views_alltime".
I specified I wanted a normalized database, I'm thinking this is technically not normalized ? Am I correct ?
Wouldn't it be better to have a query that counted the views off the logging table ? I can't see any advantage to doing it the way its been designed except to save time.
Thanks for any input !

Storing A Month
Jul 23, 2005Hello all,I have been working with several databases here that are basically datamarts. A lot of the entities have an attribute that is a particularyear and month. For example, a financial transaction may be posted fora particular month, regardless of the actual date on which it occurred.In this system, these year/month combinations have typically beenstored as integers of the form YYYYMM. My question is, how have othersstored this type of information and what advantages/disadvantages haveyou found to your method?The problem that I have found with the current method is that youcannot easily find the difference between two of these dates. Forexample, 200401 - 200312 = 89 (not 1). Storing the values as datetimes(using the first of the month) allows for DATEDIFF(mm, '2003-12-01','2004-01-01') = 1. Of course, a little extra (and meaningless) data isbeing stored. In case the table sizes makes a difference here due tothe extra data being stored, we are usually talking about over 100Mrows.I don't like the idea of storing the values in two columns (year andmonth) because that does nothing to improve on the ability to performuseful functions on the values and very importantly, the month reallyhas no meaning without the year, so I don't think that it should bestored by itself.Thanks for any advice/insight.-Tom.

Oct 22, 2007
I am writing an app in c#. I will be using the following code to get a number from the user. I had to make the variable a string to prevent any kind of conversion to be required.
string newID;
Console.WriteLine("Enter a new ID");
newID = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine("The new ID is {0}", newID);
Console.ReadLine();
The ID that this will be collecting will be stored in a SQL Server 2005 Express database. The field in the database is of the type int. Will there be a problem saving this number from the code above into the database? Will there be a problem b/c the datatypes don't match?

Storing Statistical Information
Jan 16, 2007Hi everyone, I am storing statistics for different affiliate and merchant sites, and I have a few questions about how to store it. My first idea was to create a serializable array and store it in a statistics column with the rest of the site information. I could even have two columns, one being an archive, and one being the current month. I know these arrays would get quite large, but they would only be retrieved when someone was looking at the statistics. Is this a viable way to do it? The other idea I had was to create tables for each site and ad and store the statistics as rows in each objects respective table. While easy, I didn't know if it was a bad idea to have a very large amount of tables, ie., one for every advertisement and site signed up for the affiliate program. Thanks for all your expertise in advance and I look forward to contributing to this great community. Dave

Trouble Storing And Checking....
Jul 6, 2007I'm currently working on this portion of a program...what it does is it takes a "char" of 24 digits, what the user inputs is something like this "50-32-18-000-008.000-018" i take it out of the text box and store it on a session and then call the insert into the database....but like i said the database is configured to have a char of 24 go into it...and it won't insert it is saying that im having a conflicting with the calling of two different things...here is the code.....
//***set the query text to the name of a stored proceduremyCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO BZA ParcelNumber, BZAcaseNum, ApplicantID, OwnerID, DateFiled, Acreage, Zoning, HearingMonth, HearingDay, PropertyAddress VALUES (@parcelNum, @caseNum, @applicant, @ownerID, @dateFiled, @acreage, @zoning, @hearingMonth, @hearingDay, @propertyAddress)";
//create an input parameterSqlParameter parcel = new SqlParameter();
parcel.ParameterName = "@parcelNum";parcel.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Char;
parcel.Size = 24;
parcel.Value = (string)Session["parcelNumber"]; //set the Parcel Number to what is entered in
I've tried doing a Convert.ToChar((string)Session["parcelNumber"]) but when i do that it says that the string needs to be one character
What should I do??
