TEXT Data Type Column: Replacing Chars : Why Isn't This Routine Working?

Jul 20, 2005

Hi;

I am trying to write a rountine ( below ) that will go into a colum of
text data type ( fae.pmcommnt ) locate the word "to" and replace it.

I have the routine below. I get no error messages, but it also seems
to do nothing :).

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Steve







================================================== =============
declare @ptrP int

SELECT @ptrP = PATINDEX('%to%', pmcommnt)from fae where projid =
'00013'

declare @ptrPC binary(16)
select @ptrPC = TEXTPTR(pmcommnt)
from fae

if( TEXTVALID ('fae.pmcommnt', @ptrPC ) > 0 )
print 'works'

print @ptrP

UPDATETEXT fae.pmcommnt @ptrPC @ptrP 2 'JJ'


select projid, pmcommnt from fae

Replacing Text In A Column For All Rows In The Table?

Oct 24, 2012

I have a column like this:

Table: User
name, field1
Jack 1000|1001|1003
Berg 2000|1001|2004
Paul 1001|1000
Jane 1001

Now, I would like to replace all "1001" with nothing, and also remove the "|"-separator behind 1001 if it exists, basically removing both "1001" and "1001|", so the resulting table looks like this:

name, field1
Jack 1000|1003
Berg 2000|2004
Paul 1000
Jane

My tries, been plenty, but here are some:

Code:
UPDATE UserTable
SET field1 = REPLACE(field1, '1001', '')
UPDATE UserTable
SET field1 = REPLACE(field1, '1001|', '')

But the above queries replaces field1 only if the whole field matches '1001' or '1001|'...

The above queries do work, just like I want them to. I just happened to write them in this order on this post... did not do a copy of the actual query.

Replacing A Portion Of Text String In Column

Jul 20, 2005

I need to replace a portion of a url in a column as a result ofchanging servers. Is there a SELECT/REPLACE/UPDATE combination querythat can do this. The table has close to a thousand entries and wouldbe nice if a query can be set to do this. Tried the REPLACE examplein the BOOKS ONLINE but it creates syntax error, apparently because itdoes not like the characters in the url and/or wildcards. I don't needto replace the entire url, only the portion before ".com". Thanks inanticipation of your help.Pradip Sagdeo

How To Return FTS Results From Varchar(MAX) Or Text Data Type Column?

Aug 15, 2007

I am unable to get FTS working where the column to be searched is type varchar(MAX) or Text. I can get this to work if my column to be indexed is some statically assigned array size such as varchar(1000).

For instance this works, and will return all applicable results.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestHtml](

[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

[PageText] [varchar](1000) NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT [PK_TestHtml] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED


SELECT * FROM TestHTML WHERE Contains(PageText, @searchterm);

And this does not. It returns zero results what so ever.


CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestHtml](

[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

[PageText] [varchar](MAX) NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT [PK_TestHtml] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED


SELECT * FROM TestHTML WHERE Contains(PageText, @searchterm);

Could someone please tell me what I need to do to enable FTS on varchar(MAX) or Text columns?

Update On Large Table - Change Data Type For Text Column

Dec 10, 2014

I need to update a large table, about 55 million rows, without filling the transaction log, in the shortest time as possible. The goal is to alter the table and change the data type for Text column from VARCHAR(7900) to NVARCHAR(MAX).

Since I cannot do it with an ALTER TABLE statement (it would fill up the transaction log) I'm thinking to:

- rename column Text in Text_OLD
- add Text column of type NVARCHAR(MAX)
- copy values in batches from Text_OLD to Text

The table is defined like:

create table DATATEXT(
rID INTEGER NOT NULL,
sID INTEGER NOT NULL,
pID INTEGER NOT NULL,
cID INTEGER NOT NULL,
err TINYINT NOT NULL,

[Code] ....

I've thought about a stored procedure doing this but how to copy values in batch from Text_OLD to Text.

The code I would start with (doing just this part) is the following, but maybe there are more efficient ways to do it, or at least there's a better way to select @startSeq in the WHILE loop (avoiding to select a bunch of 100000 sequences and later selecting the max).

declare @startSeq timestamp
declare @lastSeq timestamp
select @lastSeq = MAX(sequence) from [DATATEXT] where [Text] is null
select @startSeq = MIN(Sequence) FROM [DATATEXT] where [Text]is null
BEGIN TRANSACTION T1
WHILE @startSeq < @lastSeq

[Code] ....

Convert Text Data Type To Smalldatetime Data Type

Oct 9, 2007

I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible?
I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.


SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)

FROM panelists


the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.

I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.

Thanks for the help!

Bulk Insert Task Failing On Data Type Conversion For A Destination Column Of Type Bit

Jul 6, 2006

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.

I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.

I hope someone can help me work through this.

Thanks in advance,

SK

Storeing PDF's In SQL 2005 Using Image Data Type, Not Working...

Hi everyone, I have an odd problem.  I have a generic upload/download ASP.net page that allows the upload and download of and type of file.  I have so far tested the following file types:

Help - Still Trying To Insert 255+ Chars Into Text

Jun 7, 1999

How do you insert more than 255 characters into a text field? or am I using READTEXT and DATALENGTH incorrectly?

I am trying to concatenate two 255 varchar strings. Both do have 255 characters of data.
I want to insert the concatenated strings into a field define as a text data type.
if I try to ' insert into tempTbl(textFieldDataType) values (@text1+@text2) it appears only the @text1 is inserted.
I have been told the data is really there, but I can only read the 256 position + with READTEXT.

DECLARE @textptr varbinary(16)
select @textptr = (select TEXTPTR(textFieldDataType) from tempTbl where pktempTbl = 33)
READTEXT tempTbl.textFieldDataType @textPtr 255 10

This should have read 10 text positions after the 255th position. However, I get msg
Msg 7124, Level 16, State 1
The offset and length specified in the READTEXT command is greater than the actual data length of 255.

If I use the datalength function, it appears to confirm that @text2 was never inserted

declare @length int
select @length = (select datalength(textFieldDataTypet) from tempTbl where pktempTbl = 33)
select @length

@length is returned as 255

All Text Fields Truncated To 255 Chars

I defined the following table in MSSQL 2000


sql Code:






Original
- sql Code





CREATE TABLE saved_query (
id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
query_text VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL
)






 CREATE TABLE saved_query (      id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,      name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,      query_text VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL)



and whenever I insert or update the query_text field, it's always truncated to 255 characters. Why? I clearly specified a larger field size. I also tried defining query_text as a "TEXT" but got the same result.

Move Text Data (not A File) Into An Image Data Type

Mar 11, 2008



The ERP manufacturer used an image data type to store large text data fields. I am trying to move these data types from one database to another database using either Sql Queries or MS Access. I can cast them as an 8000 char varchar to read them directly but have no luck importing into these image data fields.

Access and Crystal are not able to read these fields directly.

Any suggestions? Most information about these fields has to do with loading files but I am just moving data.

Thanks,

Text Data Type

Jun 17, 2002

Hi All,
In the SQL Server documentation, it is said that, the text data type will contain upto 2GB size. I assumed it will save upto 2GB. But what happened is, it saves only 255 characters all others were truncated. Is there anything wrong with me? Or the wrong is with the SQL Server?

Text Data Type

Mar 23, 2008

I'm having a bit of a problem with this data type. It is supposed to be able to store about 2,147,483,647 characters, but when I enter more than about 1,834 characters no more charaters can be stored.

Has anyone experienced this and knows how to allow up to the 2,147,483,647 characters. Is it anything to do with another SQL Server setting or variable that needs to be changed

Thank you in advance for helping on this.

Mar 30, 2005

Any way to parse out a text value (not varChar, using text data type) that is > than 8000 characters long? I'm looping through 1 big string passed to the DB that is pipe delimited, but I find myself needing the substring function to keep track of which segment I'm acting on (after an update, I then need to take that segment and remove it from the string)...but the subString function won't take anything larger than 8000 chars.

Say I have this string that is text data type...

'aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|....'

..and so on, surpassing 8000 char length, how could you parse it out using the pipes as the delimter, then do an Update using that segment? Afterward, return to that string and find the next segment, then use it, and so on (in a loop). I tried using an update to set the string = replace(string, segmentJustUsed, '') to "erase" it, but replace can't take text as the datatype. Any help? Hope this isn't to confusing.

Syscomments Table Text Field Does Not Allow More Than 8060 Chars

Oct 18, 2006

Hello,

I have a table in SQL Server 2000 which has few triggers. When I try to update a record in that table, I get following message:

Warning: The table '[TABLE_NAME]' has been created but its maximum row size (17275) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.

where the data I am updating is well less than the field limit. The triggers are stored in syscomments table and when I dropped these triggers, the update statements were executed without this message. Is there anyway I can change the data type of field text in syscomments from nvarchar to ntext?

Thanks
Din

Full-text Ignores Special Chars In Sql 2005

Oct 12, 2007

We had a sql 2000 db that had full text implemented on it. We upgrade that server to a 2005 server and now the full text searches that once worked don't. Most do work just the ones with ; or special characters in the query string don't work.

Anyone have the same behavior and how to get it to wrok again?

thanks

Replacing Text

Jan 21, 2008

Hi,

I would like to replace all instances of a code that starts with 'GEM' with the word 'Perfect'', and all instances of the code that starts with 'GOLD' replaced with 'Imperfect'.

For example, if I have a table named STONES, and a field within the table STONES.Code contained codes such as 'GEMPART4000', 'GEMPART5000', 'GOLDSIDE2300' and 'GOLDSIDE3000', I want to return the first two codes as the words 'Perfect' for each and the last two codes with the word 'Imperfect' for each.

Similarly, how would it be written so I could select a middle part of the code to use as the trigger to replace the code with something different, e.g. if I wanted to use the 'PART' from the first two codes?

I have discovered that the REPLACE and CASE functions don't work with % (so I am looking for any code that starts with what I stipulate but can end with anything (or using it on either side of the middle part of the code)).

Any help would really be appreciated please.

Data Type Varchar And Text

Oct 27, 2007

I encounter this particular error.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The data types varchar and text are incompatible in the equal to operator.
Line 21:             Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader() 
This is the first time I'm trying out with MS SQL so I'm abit lost. I hope my code is correct and I've did a little search. I did not set "Text" in my database, I use int and varchar. Here's the affected part of my code and the database. Dim password As String = ""
Dim querystring As String = "SELECT Password FROM Member WHERE Username = @username"

'Dim conn as SqlConnection
Using conn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("mainconnect").ConnectionString)
Dim command As New SqlCommand(querystring, conn)
command.Parameters.Add("@username", SqlDbType.Text)
command.Parameters("@username").Value = txtLogin.Text
conn.Open()

Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
While reader.Read()
password = reader("Password").ToString()
End While

reader.Close()

End Using
 
My database:
User_ID int(4)
Username varchar(50)
Password varchar(255)
Email varchar(50)
 
Any ideas?
