String Concatenation
Jun 19, 2006Hi,
Why does this result produce 'Null' and not the expected string of 10 B's?
The var @SecurityString is a VarChar Type.
WHILE @LoopCount <= 10
BEGIN
SET @SecurityString = @SecurityString + 'B'
SET @LoopCount = @LoopCount + 1
END
SELECT @SecurityString AS SecurityCode
Any pointers would be a great help, thanks.

Select String Concatenation
Mar 13, 2006I want to concatanate all text rows returned by the following sql statement:
"SELECT Text FROM PageText WHERE PageTextId = 1"
Table "PageText" has the following columns:

Is it possible to do this? Kinda like doing a "SUM()" if the values would have been numeric?
String Concatenation Using CURSORs
Jul 25, 2006Hi all,
I have a sitaution here where I need to convert some relational data to a flat file. I have a primary record that flatens out pretty well with the exception of two columns that need to have row data converted to strings via concatenation. The column size is Char(146) . I attempted to use 2 cursors to create the strings.
C1 --outside cursor to pull unique record id (161,000+ records)
C2 -- SELECTs the top 29 secondary (relational) records for each C1 rec
(FIELDX as Char(5))
FIELDX is the concatenated up to 29 times and inserted in to a flat table
based on record id for flat file export.
The issue is that this takes FOREVER to run and the 3Ghz XEON w/2GB Ram server weeps.
Declarations are as follows:
DECLARE C1 CURSOR FAST_FORWARD READ_ONLY
FOR
SELECT Distinct Record_ID
FROM tblProcedure
DECLARE C2 CURSOR FAST_FORWARD READ_ONLY
FOR
--need only the top 29 relational records to string out
SELECT TOP 29 Cast(pr_icd1 as Char(5))
FROM tblProcedure WHERE Record_ID = @RECID --From C1
OPEN C2
SET @tmpICDstr = ''
FETCH NEXT FROM C2 INTO @tmpICDchar
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @tmpICDstr = @tmpICDchar + @tmpICDstr
FETCH NEXT FROM C2 INTO @tmpICDchar
END
--'INSERT INTO [Validation].[dbo].[tmpICDStr] (RECID, sg) VALUES
(@RECID, @tmpICDstr)
--'INSERT INTO @tmp (RECID, STRsg) VALUES (@RECID, @tmpICDstr)
SET @tmpICDchar = ''
Anybody have a suggestion on how to speed this up. I am looking at about 1min/100 C1 records. Do the math for 161,000+ C1 records. Ugh.
Any suggestion would be appeciated!
tnx

Jun 12, 2000I guess I'm the only one with this problem -- couldn't find anything on it in the back questions. Maybe it's a weird problem. :)
Anyway, although I'm not new to SQL, I am a bit new to stored procedures, and MS SQL Server 7. (I've been using mySQL, decent, but doesn't have many features ... )
I used some ASP and stored procedure code from 4guysfromrolla.com for session tracking through SQL Server.
I've modified most of the stored procedures so that they actually work. :)
The tables it uses are simple:
sessions: sessionid (uniqueidentifier), date_stamp (datetime), sessionipaddr(varchar(50))
sessionvalues: sessionid (uniqueidentifier), sessionvalname (varchar(100)), sessionvaldata (varchar(8000))
To answer some questions before they're asked: It's a resume database, and does need to be able to store 8000 characters at a shot. (I'm hoping 8000 is as large as it gets for this particular field.)
There's only one problem now: One of the stored procedures enters information into the sessionvalue field of the table. However, much of our data contains apostrophes ('), and we need to be able to store them. I thought that modifying the execute statement would do it, something like:
EXECUTE sessiondata '{EC8131F6-409A-11D4-8E88-00A0C9E4F36E}', 'ExpWorkDescs', 'Here' + CHAR(39) + "s some data"
This doesn't work. Indeed, even if the concatenation worked, CHAR(39) doesn't in this context.
Then I thought I'd be really clever, and try a trick from mySQL:
EXECUTE sessiondata '{EC8131F6-409A-11D4-8E88-00A0C9E4F36E}', 'ExpWorkDescs', 'Here's some data'
Naturally, that one didn't work, either. (That was a long shot, admittedly!)
This is mission-critical. Not only apostrophes, but quotes and other punctuation marks must be able to be transferred. Anyone know a way to do it?

SQL Server 2014 :: Sanitizing Inputs When Creating String By Concatenation
Mar 19, 2014I have a need to create a table in a sql server database from C# code. The kicker is that the user must be able to specify the table and field names via the UI. I can do a bit of sanity checking but as long as they enter something reasonable I need to accept it. Normaly I always ADO parameters to sanitise any user parameters but they can't be applied to table and field names, only values. As far as I'm aware that leaves me needing to concatenate strings and that's something I usually avoid like the plague due to risk of SQL injection.
My actual question : Assuming string concatenation is my only way forward, how can I sanitise the values that would go into the table name and fieldname bits of a CREATE TABLE statement to ensure that injection can't occur? I've been pondering it and I think I just need to check for semi-colons. Without a semi-colon I don't think a user could inject an extra statement could they?

Jun 12, 2008I need to concatenate two date fields so they appear in a drop-down list like this: 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM
I'm using MS SQL 2005 and my query looks like this: SELECT ClinicTimesID, ClinicID, (CTStartTime + ' - ' + CTEndTime) AS TimeSlot FROM Clinics_Times WHERE (ClinicID = 1) and I get this error: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Can I strip out the date so that only the time appears or is it even possible to concatenate these fields? If so, how?
Thanks!

Oct 3, 2007I am completely new to SQL and I have some syntax questions. I am trying to concatenate 4 fields and some padded constants to form a new key field to perform joins. The result should be a twelve character field without spaces. My problem is that the current fields use spaces as place holders and I need to replace the spaces with ‘0’.
[RD_ID] nvarchar length 5
[RDWY_ID] nvarchar length 1
[MLGE_TYPE] nvarchar length 1
[OVLAP_MLGE_CD] nvarchar length 1
Concatenate 12 characters
1st ‘0’ (constant)
2nd, 3rd, and 4th, from [RD_ID] (without the suffix)
5th and 6th from [RD_ID] suffix or replace spaces with ‘00’
7th 1 or 2 from [RDWY_ID]
8th Z from [MLGE_TYPE] or replace space with ‘0’
9th 1 – 9 from [OVLAP_MLGE_CD] or replace space with ‘0’
10th ‘S’ (constant)
11th ‘0’ (constant)
12th ‘0’ (constant)
Results should resemble
0001CQ100S00 or 000100100S00
This is the query I used in Access.
LRS: "0" & IIf((Len(LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID])))=3),LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID])) & "00",LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID]))) & [HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![DIR_RDWY_ID] & IIf([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![MLGE_TYPE]=" ",0,[HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![MLGE_TYPE]) & IIf([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![OVLAP_MLGE_CD]=" ",0,[HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![OVLAP_MLGE_CD]) & "S00"

SQL And Proper Concatenation Within VB
Jun 9, 2008Hi all - I have posted inquiries on this rather vexing issue before, so I apologize in advance for revisting this. I am trying to create the code to add the parameters for two CheckBoxLists together. One CheckBoxList allows users to choose a group of Customers by Area Code, the other "CBL" allows users to select Customers by a type of Category that these Customers are grouped into. When a user selects Customers via one or the other CBL, I have no problems. If, however, the user wants to get all the Customers from one or more Area Codes who ALSO may or may not be members of one or more Categories; I have had trouble trying to create the proper SQL. What I have so far:Protected Sub btn_CustomerSearchCombined_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_CustomerSearchCombined.Click Dim CSC_SqlString As String = "SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.CustomerName, Customers.CategoryID, Customers.EstHours, Customers.Locality, Category.Category FROM Customers INNER JOIN Category ON Customers.CategoryID = Category.CategoryID WHERE " Dim ACItem As ListItem Dim CATItem As ListItem For Each ACItem In cbl_CustomersearchAREA.Items If ACItem.Selected Then CSC_SqlString &= "Customers.AreaCodeID = '" & ACItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next CSC_SqlString &= "' AND " <-- this is the heart of my problem, I believe For Each CATItem In cbl_CustomersearchCAT.Items If CATItem.Selected Then CSC_SqlString &= "Customers.CategoryID = '" & CATItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next CSC_SqlString = Left(CSC_SqlString, Len(CSC_SqlString) - 4) CSC_SqlString &= "ORDER By Categories.Category" sql_CustomersearchGrid.SelectCommand = CSC_SqlString End SubAny help on this is much appreciated, many thanks --
