I am having a problem in a VB.NET application, i have a form that the user fills to store data in the database, the problem is that when i enter Arabic string, it gets stored in the database as question marks '??????'
The database field type is nvarchar, anybody went across this problem?
Hello,
I am using the SSIS import/export wizard to import an Access table into a sql server 2005 database. The table has fields in Arabic (name, last name, etc.) and non-Arabic fields (gender, phone number, category, etc.).
The destination table has nvarchar columns.
After the import, I can see the Arabic characters in the destination table, but they appear in inverse order (from left to right). In Access (or Excel), Arabic fields appear as they should (from right to left) and non-Arabic fields are OK as well (from left to right).
If I do a simple copy-and-paste of a "correct" Arabic text into the table, the result is still wrong (inversed letters)...
Please help, I can't see what else to do.
Thank you.

Hello 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?

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?

Hi
I have taken a varchar of length 4000 and storing a string value at runtime. but it is doing an unusual behaviour. it stores 200 lenght of string and then discard the rest data ... :( how can i fix this?
hi!
I want to store the value of the Connection String in an Common table exisiting for the whole project and retrieve it for the whole package to Run. I want to know if there is a way of doing this.
I do not want to have a config file which is created trhough the package configuration.
In case of Parent package variable the Value of the variable needs to exist which again needs to execute the SQL Task which requires a connection string.
In case of Environment variabIe.I have very less knowledge about the environment variable . Even if we store it? how can we access it and change it in client place.
In case of SQL server . Can we store in an existing table. what is the configuration filter? what is the vlaue for it.
I do not want to execute any command line.............................
Thanks,

I have a system that basically stores a database within a database (I'msure lots have you have done this before in some form or another).At the end of the day, I'm storing the actual data generically in acolumn of type nvarchar(4000), but I want to add support for unlimitedtext. I want to do this in a smart fashion. Right now I am leaningtowards putting 2 nullable Value fields:ValueLong ntext nullableValueShort nvarchar(4000) nullableand dynamically storing the info in one or the other depending on thesize. ASP.NET does this exact very thing in it's Session State model;look at the ASPStateTempSessions table. This table has both aSessionItemShort of type varbinary (7000) and a SessionItemLong of typeImage.My question is, is it better to user varbinary (7000) and Image? I'mthinking maybe I should go down this path, simply because ASP.NET does,but I don't really know why. Does anyone know what would be the benifitof using varbinary and Image datatypes? If it's just to allow saving ofbinary data, then I don't really need that right now (and I don't thinkASP.NET does either). Are there any other reasons?thanks,dave
View 7 Replies View Relatedbest 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:
<survey>
<meta>
<id>sample</id>
</meta>
<questions>

Does anyone currently do this. I want to store an audit history for changes made in the database through our web application.

I have a bit of a dilema, that maybe someone can give a reccomendation on. I have a vb app that will calculate a duration that a process runs in hours:minutes:seconds. My question is should I store this in the database as a date/time field or calculate total seconds and store it as an integer field? I will be using this field for basic summing calculations in the future. Thanks for any help.

An odd question from me, I know, but this time, I assure you a twist.
I have a group that wants to store images in either a database or a file share, in order to make a certain website able to run on a load balanced web farm. These images are around 1KB each in size, and have a lifespan of exactly one use (think of graphs). I went a-googling, and found no shortage of articles that say "don't do it, but here's how you can do it", but I did not find any real hard statements as to why to not do it. Needless to say, this is hurting the case for not putting these images in the database. I have found an article that says images over 8KB will have worse performance, but I can not use that factoid here. For the moment, I have the developers leaning toward the fileshare, because they will be writing transaction logs all day, which will be more work than the fileshare needs to do....I think. The best I can do, is cut the text/image datatype overhead, and have them create the table as varbinary(2000), but even then, I don't like the look of the idea.
Anyone out there have good articles/whitepapers that detail the differences between writing single-use images to a fileshare vs. a SQL database? <baiting=blatant>Failing that, do any of the Microsoft development team have an opinion?</baiting>
Alternatively, what is the general opinion of keeping session state information in a database (because I bet that will be my next battle). I see .NET includes a session state server, but not being a programmer, I can not create an opbjective test.

Hey I currently have a foreach loop container working which scans a folder, loops through the files in this folder and then moves them to a new folder.
At the same time I also do an SQL insert into a table logging the details of the transfer.
What I would like to do next is to store the actual PDF in binary in my DB (varbinary format). How would I go about this ?
i use a teltonika t-modem gsm modem..
it's quite new actually and it is connected to my PC thru a usb port..
my problem now is that
i can,t seem to get the hang in storing received messages in
my SQL database..
the code goes like this..
a receive button is clicked to generate an instance
where all SMS sent to my sim card would then be accessed by my gsm modem..
private void btnReceive_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ListViewItem Component;
Cursor c = Cursor.Current;
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
listView1.Items.Clear();
btnReceive.Enabled = false;
objGsmIn.Device = cmbDevice.SelectedItem.ToString();
objGsmIn.LogFile = txtLogging.Text;
if (cmbDeviceSpeed.SelectedIndex == 0)
{
objGsmIn.DeviceSpeed = 0;
}
else
{
objGsmIn.DeviceSpeed = System.Int32.Parse(cmbDeviceSpeed.Text);
}
objGsmIn.Storage = fMsgStore.MsgStorage;
if (fMsgStore.DelMsg == true)
{//deletes your message after receiving
objGsmIn.DeleteAfterReceive = 1;
}
objGsmIn.Receive(); //this checks your new incoming messages
if (objGsmIn.LastError == 0)
{
objGsmIn.GetFirstMessage();
while (objGsmIn.LastError == 0)
{
//continously receive all messages..
Component = listView1.Items.Add(objGsmIn.MessageSender);
Component.SubItems.Add(objGsmIn.MessageData);
objGsmIn.GetNextMessage();
}
txtResults.Text = "Messages Successfully Received..";
}
else
{
//error in message receiving process..
txtResults.Text = "Error " + objGsmIn.LastError + "(" + objGsmIn.GetErrorDescription(objGsmIn.LastError) + ")";
}
btnReceive.Enabled = true;
Cursor.Current = c;
}
now my problem is that i cant figure out where i would place my stored procedure
in storing those messages to my database..
the problem is that..
if i place my stored procedure on the 1st "IF" statement..
it will only save my 1st incoming message..
but another thing is that if i put it under my "WHILE" statement..
dont you think that it will continiously loop?
meaning to say that the next tym i tried to access all my received messages
it would definitely store all the previously read messages again to my database..
which then creates multiple copies of my previously stored messages again and again
well i hope you get the gist of what i mean..
its quite complicated to explain..
but then again thanks a lot for taking notice on my post regarding this..
thanks!!^_^

Hi,I have a table which I need to store times in. What is the best way of doing this? The only way I can think of so far is to save the times as a datetime such as '1/1/1900 03:00 PM' then format the date as "hh:mm tt" so that the day isn't displayed. Is this the best method?Thanks,Curt.

What is the best approach for storing hierarchical
data in a database? For example, if I need to store a tree menu system,
how would I do that allowing for the most normalization within the
database, using the least number of queries/resources when pulling the
data out, and using the least amount of overhead both in storage and
retrival?
