20Request PIN then proceed
21Request PIN if wrong request name
22Request PIN allowed to use only numbers
All text instructions start with “Request PIN” but after that the text are different for every site_no
I need insert in all site_no rows and after the “Request PIN” the text “and codeword” keeping the current rest of text
Desired output

The files have pipe delimters and double quotes as text qualifiers. I can get the file to import with a bulk insert statement, but it brings in the double quotes in as well. What setting is it that can be set to indicate what the text qualifiers are?
I have a web form with a text field that needs to take in as much as the user decides to type and insert it into an nvarchar(max) field in the database behind. I've tried using the new .write() method in my update statement, but it cuts off the text after a while. Is there a way to insert/update in SQL 2005 this without resorting to Bulk Insert? It bloats the transaction log and turning the logging off requires a call to sp_dboptions (or a straight-up ALTER DATABASE), which I'd like to avoid if I can.
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql. When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example: http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited? Could it be something else? Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, Chris
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.
I have a column in a table that has a type TEXT,when I pull the length of a row it returns 88222 but when I select from that column it dows not show all the text in the result set.
Hi,I been reading various web pages trying to figure out how I can extract some simple information from the XML below, but at present I cannot understand it. I have a MS SQL 2005 database with which contains a field of type text (external database so field type cannot be changed to XML)The text field in the database is similar to the one below but I have simplified it by remove many of the unneeded tags in the <before> and <after> blocks. I also reformatted it to show the structure (original had no spaces or returns) For each text field in the SQL table contain the XML I need to know the OldVal and the NewVal. <ProductMergeAudit> <before> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="OldVal"> </table> </before> <after> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="NewVal"> </table> </after></ProductMergeAudit>
I am attempting to write a script to add onto the end of a text field the words " -- Disposed " (About 60 rows worth). The field is a TEXT field, so unlike a varchar field I can't just use Update as shown below.
Code:
Update AR_Primary_asset Set AR_Primary_asset.description = AR_Primary_asset.description + ' -- Disposed' Where AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in ('1','2','4')
I found on the Mircosoft pages about UPDATETEXT, but this only seem to work to update one row (In the case below Asset_ref = 3, was the only row effected) .
Code:
DECLARE @Dispose binary(16) SELECT @Dispose = TEXTPTR(DESCRIPTION) FROM AR_PRIMARY_ASSET WHERE AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in ('1','2','3')
I want to insert a value which has the UTF-8 encoding into a field of the database which has the "text" data Type but it saves like this : " ?????????????? "
I would be thankful if u tell me how should I save it ? here is the SqlComand I wrote :

I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000. The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import? I would appreciate any pointers.
I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark
i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL Server database.
I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for example.
Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13)) then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not pasted for some reason.
I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem. I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.
Since i've no experience of using different types of databases interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds? I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!
Can anyone point me any solution how to export a MEMO field from an Access database to a TEXT field from an MS SQL Server 2000. The import export tool from SQL server doesn't import these fields if they are very large - around 9000 characters.
Dealing with 3rd party app that is somehow deleting records. Was going to put a delete trigger on the table so we can at least be notified of the delete and save the record. Great idea until I found out the table has a text data type for one of the fields which are'nt allowed on the delete or update portion of the trigger. Unfortunately the text data contains what we really need to retain. Tried doing a convert varchar and that would not work.
Select * from TableName Where Contains(ColumnToBeSearched, 'testtosearch')
QUESTION: Can the 'testtosearch' be another table field like ''' + <AnotherTBLField> + '''Is there anyway to make the population of 'testtosearch' to be based on another table field (say when you join to it)?If not what else can I do, another function maybe?
I have an instance where a process is trying to insert a Customer into the Customers table and CustomerLastName is a non nullable field. Customer's last name is Null. Should this be the reason this Customer is never in the end table?
I have text column .I want to find out first occurance of string based on logic.I defiend Text with examples and also mentioned expected result.I coloured the text in word document,due to some reasons not displaying same here.Attached as image below texts to understand more clear.
TEXT 1: 'ABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHENDRAXNARENDRABVEERNDARAXDRMNDRAXRVINDRABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHEN'
From the above text1, I want to get “AXNARENDR”.
Based on logic defined below:
First I have to search for string “A” Then next to ‘A’ it should not be “B” or “C” or “D”.It can be anything other thing these three.Combination of “A” otherthan “B” or “C” or “D”
In the example text I defined “A”,”X” defined three times .I want to capture few characters from the first occurrence of the string
I am very new to using SQL. Our department usually uses Brio to query the various databases under our control. However, I have recently come against a problem that prompted me to create a custom SQL query which works well as far as it goes. My problem is looking for specific conditions in billing information I receive monthly. I would like to compare on of the date fields contained in the database with a field in the form of YYYYMM (200710, for October 2007) I have created a custom column generator that forms a date from the YYYYMM. I would like, however, do the translation on the fly and make the comparison during the query. The problem is that query without the date check returns a mass of data, only about 1 percent of which is what I want.
The beginning of the SQL query looks like this:
FROM From.T_Crs_Tran_Dtl WHERE T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo IN ('200710', '200711', '200712') AND ((T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Cde IN ('1G', '1V') AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde IN (' ', 'TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde IN ('TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Std_Tran_Typ_Cde='B') OR (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde='UN' AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde='XX' AND
It is the (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND? part of the query that is just plain wrong. The business part of this statement takes the YYYYMM field and turns it into a date which is the last day of YYYYMM.
I hope someone out there can help me with making this comparison.
Are the XML tags searched, as well as, the contents within the tags, when an xml column is included in a full-text index? Or is it only the contents within the tags? Would I need to combine full-text search with XPath/XQuery to get at the actual tags?
There are plenty of scripts to do this on a per-DB level, but any that will allow me to generate a script for all DB's at once? Mine are split across dozens and it would be much easier to do a loop (using MS_ForeachDB ? )
I need to import data to a MSSql table from massive (read: a million and a half rows, every single day) logs that come in .txt format separated in tabs with a ";" symbol and then have some stored procedures analyze that data to generate some reports in an excel file with that info. The text files include the column headers in the first row and the data starts on the second one.
The challenge is that the text files differ in column order and count every single day.
The analysis that I need to do only needs about 15 columns from the nearly 90-120 that those files include, and those columns sadly happen to be in a different order in those files.
I need to extract specific text elements from a varchar column. There are three keywords in any given string: "wfTask," "wfStatus" and "displayReportFromWorkflow." "wfTask" and "wfStatus" can appear multiple times, but always as a pair and will each be followed by by "==" (with or without surrounding spaces). "displayReportFromWorkflow" is always followed by "(" and there can be spaces on either side. The text elements will be between a pair of double quotes, and following one of keywords. For each row, I need to return the task, status and report name.
Output: rowID, Task, Status, ReportName ----- --------- ------- ------------------------ 1, Issuance, Issued, General Permit 2, Issuance, Issued, Capacity Letter Type III 2, Review, Denied, Capacity Letter Type III
I started with a string splitter using the double quote character, referencing elements "i" and "i+1" where the text like '%wfTask%' or '%wfStatus%' or '%displayReportFromWorkflow%', but the case of multiple task/status in a row has confounded me so far.
Have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (includes SSMS tool) on Windows server 2008 R2 sp1 without any issues.Database created with no issues, full text catalog created via the wizard also with no issues but cannot run the process as a scheduled task of updating the catalog because the SQL agent is not available in the express version.
The full text index information is already being populated and updated by a third party application so this leaves just the catalog to be updated as and when new full text information is available.
I have a third party SQL scheduler which will run SQL scheduled tasks but requires a script to run the full text catalog update process
Is it possible to extract a script from the existing full text catalog to run the update process or how to create a script from scratch to do the same update catalog process in the third party scheduler?
I've got a query that returns the data I need. I want to put the query in a stored procedure such that, when the SP runs I get a pipe delimited text file on disk. I don't really want to mess with SSIS, etc. Is there a Q&D way to do this?
How to implement a universal search in my site And it must be give result precised up to 90%.
Scenario is like that whenever customer come to our site he/she can search for example: Car parts
My Table structure is like below:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 column 5 column 6 (Keyword) Toyota camry 2000 wheel ABC123 Toyota camry 2000 wheel abc123 Toyota camry 2000 wheel cover 123 Toyota camry 2000 wheel cover 123
Now i have created a full text search index on column 6(keyword)
so whenever someone search exactly describe in column 6 it gives result
For ex: if i search (Toyota Camry wheel) with CONTAINS Option
Select * from mytable where Contains (Keyword,'Toyota and Camry and wheel')
It gives me rows which contains Toyota Camry wheel and other rows which having wheel cover also. So i get multiple rows. Because of we have very large table which contains data in millions its not to feasible to have that thing.
another thing is :
if i search (Toyota Camry wheels) with CONTAINS Option Select * from mytable where Contains (Keyword,'Toyota and Camry and wheels')
It won't give any result back to me which is embarrassment for me. Because customer can search anything so if its not giving result its bad impression.
Also i tried to use FREETEXT option but it gives result in combination of all this word which i searched. so its huge amount of data in result.
Application is ocr'ing tiff image files and then storing the resultant text data in a text field in SQL 2005 database. This field is then used with the full text catalog.
All works fine,
However, am I using the correct field type to store the text files for efficiency and space saving?
If I use a binary field, does this reduce the size of the database by compressing the text data in the binary field? Also, is there a limit as to the size of text file that I could store in a binary field?
It would be good to get feedback on this before I go too far down the wrong road.
So, text field to store the text data or binary field to store the actual text file?
