I was wondering does anybody have advice for storing Russian in a column in either 2000 or 2005.
Example:
create table Russian
(
Word varchar(100),
Meaning varchar(500),
Russian varchar(500) COLLATE Cyrillic_General_CI_AS_KS not null,
English varchar(1000)
)
insert into Russian
(
Word,
Meaning,
Russian,
English
)
values
(
'Thank You',
'Thank you',
'Ñ?паÑ?бо',
'spice e ba'
)
What I get is
Thank You Thank you ?????? spice E bo
How can I store 'Ñ?паÑ?бо' and get this value to display, and not ??????

I'm trying to make a site work for japanese characters. It works fineexcept for the alerts in javascript.The characters are stored in unicode, as this;'コミック全巻配'Those unicode characters are translated by the browser, but not in thealert.Am I storing it correct in the db (コ)? Or should I store thejapanese characters instead of the unicode?Thanks in advance!
I am trying to store the content (body) of an email message that I want to create in a column SQL 2000. I need to know how I can store the special characters (carriage returns, bullets, etc) so that when I select them from the database to reform the email the correct formatting appears.
I want to store japanese characters in one of my database tables. I copied some data including japanese characters from an excel sheet and pasted it to the table. that works fine. The characters are also nicely displayed in my web application.
But I am unable to type in new characters to the table. When trying to do so, even the windows language bar does not allow me to write japanese characters!
I changed the collation of the database from Latin1_General_CI_AS to Japanese_90_CI_AS_KS_WS. I also played with the collation settings of a single column in the table, setting it to different Japanese Windows Collations. The values in the column are stored as NVARCHAR.
The strange thing is: When I insert a new table to the database then I can enter japanese characters without modifications, the table having the same properties as the one in question (at least as far as I can see).
I am stuck here, does anybody have a hint how I can solve this issue?
Additional question: Which collation should I take?
Hi Everyone, I have a simple webform with a text box with multiline enabled and a submit button, in vb.net. Inside the text box, when you are typing text with let's say adding carriage returns, spaces etc. How to i save the text to a database? By that, i mean, how to i declare the column in my database, varchar, text ...? Also, when retrieving the saved text back to the textbox, will it keep the formatting because that's what i am trying to do? Or, what is the best way to keep text formatting in a database? Thanks for the help, Kevin
Is there a way to alter the default 256 value to some other value in a transac SQL script? The value can be changed manually in the advanced tab of the current connection options. I need to be able to set and reset this value in a script and/or stored procedure. Kind of urgent for an answer to this problem. Thanks in advance.
I have a table called exchange and field called address. The rows(1400+) in the field look like: MS:VA/Celcmv/VHACLEADAM%SMTP:Doe.Jane@med.va.gov%X200:c=US;a= ;p=av;o=Celcmv;s=Doe;g=Jane;
How do I remove everything to the left of doe.jane@med.va.gov and everything to the right of doe.jane@med.va.gov using query analyzer? Thank you in advance...
Can someone please suggest a function to remove the last 3 characters from a column? I was thinking of the LEN function, but I am unsure of the syntax.
I recieve data where I am comparing zip codes from raw data, to a zip code table. The columns I am matching are in integers.
The issue is that in the raw data, sometimes the zip code is extended to more than the 5 characters in the zip code table so I am getting null value returns
A sample of this is in the raw data is:
Zipcode 54303 54304786 78641
Is there a way I can have it compare only the first 5 digits of the zip codes in the raw data zip code column to the zip code table? Or would I have to convert the data type? Or alter or truncate the characters somehow? If so, please include how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi, I have a table called geofence. It has a primary key geofence_id. Each geofence consists of a set of latitudes and latitudes. So I defined two columns latitude and longitude and their type is varchar. I want to store all latitude/longitude values as a comma separated values in latitude/longitude columns So in general how do people implement these types of requirements in relational databases?
I've got an issue - I've got a needed query that executes fine, etc..etc...
the issue is , 1 or more columns (depending) are of TEXT data type - and by virtue of potentially poor front end data entry design - they have large strings stored in each record - much of these strings are made even larger ( in char size ) because of html being stored in the db -- from a design point of view - I blame who ever designed the CMS system that allows this --- thats neither here nor there
The issue is I need these fields and their respective "description" data. BUT I also need to export it to something usable my a marketing department.
The issue lies in that MSSQL Studio - which in grid reports the columns, values, etc..etc.. fine - upon .CVS export - INSTEAD OF TRUNCATING @ THE MAX CHAR LENGTH PER COLUMN (8126 or something) IT PUSHES THE REMAINING TEXT TO THE NEXT COLUMN.
big problem --- to be honest, I dont really need all the data - even just like 500 characters would be more then enough
my question : Is there a way to limit column return lenght @ the query level ? (NOT a truncation of table)
We have identity functionality for integer , Similarly i want for characters .i.e.
EX: ID Name Sal CD101 A 1000 CD102 B 2000 CD103 C 3000 CD104 D 4000 CD105 E 5000
I want output like above, I wont provide Value for ID column. It it should take automatically while inserting data into table.(like identity column)? Is it possible in SQL Server?

I have a file with a header row which contains the date of the file and under that all the columns without a header.
In SSIS package I skip row and manually name the different columns.
However, I want to use the column in the header row to store the date value in an SSIS variable and use that variable to write it to our staging table. How can I do this when I skip the header row?
Is there any way to retrieve partial contents of a database column? For example, say a column holds 5,000 characters, but I only wish to retrieve the first 50. Thanks
Hi, this is my second attempt to get an answer to this question. We want to strip our firstName column and lastname column of any punctuation that might be present. What's the best of doing that? Is my only choice to write a nested REPLACE for each character we want replaced (which will end up being very very long) or is there another way. thanks Zoey
I'm adding data to a text column, and whenever I have a backslash at the end of a line it disappears. Here's an example: Code:
INSERT INTO MyTable (TextCol) VALUES ('some text some more text yet more text')
The on the first line is fine- the on the 2nd line just disappears. If I add a 2nd backslash on the end of the line, one is inserted. If I add a space to the end of the line, everything works as normal. I can fix this client-side, but before I do I'd really like to know what's going on?
I'm having dificulties in loading data into a table coming from an excel file because one of the columns is a text based with an average of 1024 characters... How can i import that column? The excel source always shows me the column as a DT_WSTR of 255 characters...
So to fetch the data having only special characters in it, I used below query
Select * From Table Where Column Like '%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%' Escape ' '. Its returning both the records. Here I would like to fetch records for those Unicode characters only which are not within 00201 - 0070E [URL].
