Text Column Question

Sep 1, 2006

Hello,

If I create a table with two columns of type "Text" will that cause any
issues? If my memory serves me correctly I thought I read a while back
that is it standard practice to only have one "Text" column per table.


Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob Panosh

XML Explicit With Text Column?

Jan 31, 2007

    HiI have to create an XML file based on a SQL SERVER 2005 table.Everything works fine:SELECT 1 as Tag,
NULL as Parent,
Ex_Id as [Exam!1!Ex_Id],
NULL as [Ex_Title!2!!cdata]
FROM Exams
WHERE ex_State = 'P'
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 as Tag,
1 as Parent,
Ex_Id,
ex_Title
FROM Exams
WHERE ex_State = 'P'
order by [Exam!1!Ex_Id], [Ex_Title!2!!cdata]
FOR XML EXPLICIT, ROOT('Exams')
BUT when i add another column, a text column, I get into trouble: SELECT 1 as Tag,
NULL as Parent,
Ex_Id as [Exam!1!Ex_Id],
NULL as [Ex_Title!2!!cdata],
NULL as [Ex_Situation!3!!cdata]
FROM Exams
WHERE ex_State = 'P'
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 as Tag,
1 as Parent,
Ex_Id,
ex_Title,
ex_Situation
FROM Exams
WHERE ex_State = 'P'
order by [Exam!1!Ex_Id], [Ex_Title!2!!cdata], [Ex_Situation!3!!cdata]
FOR XML EXPLICIT, ROOT('Exams')
The problem is clearly the fact that i have to sort on the text column, plus the fact that this column requires the CDATA tag enclosurePlease help me....i'm desperate :(

Extract (text To Column)

Apr 30, 2008

I have a column named DATEID in a table DATA that contains the
following format connected to each other(date and name):

20071030Jones
20071020Smith
20070918Rogers
20080122Williams
etc..

What would the syntax be to insert a column to the right of this one,
and extract the first 8 digits from the data in the DATEID column and
insert that into the new column DATE, therefore making it easier for
me to query against an actual date?

Thanks

Access To TEXT Column

Sep 22, 2006

Hi,

I have a table with a TEXT column and this column contains an XML document. I'm developing a TSQL stored procedure which reads the content of this column and accesses the values in the XML elements but I have a lot of problems...

1) How can I read the text column and store the value in a variable? I tried

declare @a varchar(2048)
set @a = (SELECT TEXT_COLUMN FROM MY_TABLE)

but it returns

Server: Msg 279, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression.

I tried also with the READTEXT function but I just can't find how to store data read in a variable...

2) which length should I use for the VARCHAR variable which will store the data? Is it possible not to specify a length with SQL Server 7 or 2000?

Thanks!

Dreaded TEXT Column

Oct 15, 2006

I need to setup repliaction between A and B. I have high transaction /min count. Some tables have TEXT columns. This is what i am planning to do:

Example: table name is CREDITS

vertical partition the table into two. First table (will be called CREDITS_PRI) holds PK column and non TEXT columns, second table (will be called CREDITS_SEC) holds PK column and TEXT columns.

Create a view called CREDITS with INSTEAD OF triggers for inserts, updates and deletes. So far so good. Then setup replication with immediate updating subscription between A and B for tables called ..._PRI and merge replication between A and B for tables called ..._SEC.

Would this work? How do other companies handle this? thank you in advance for pointing me into the right direction.

Large Text Column

Aug 14, 2007

I'm trying to store a binary data file in my database. I've tried data types image, varchar(max) and text. I don't get error message on loading the data but as soon as the text file exceeds 32,000 bits a query returns an empty data set.

Is this a SSMS display problem and the data is really there? Or is this another one of Microsoft's memory bugs?

Full-text Of XML Data Column

Mar 23, 2004

Hi gurus

A developer created a stored procedure that search in a huge table in a column with ‘like’ statement.
I know that the best solution in most case is use of full-text.

But the content of this specific column is a XML data and Full-text don´t find words as desired.

For example:
Table content:
ID = 1
DsColumn = ´<Name>BETH</Name>´

select * from tbResp
where DsColumn like '%BETH %'
Results:
IDDsColumn
--- ---------------------------------
1<Name>BETH</Name>
1 row(s) affected


select * from tbResp
where
contains(DsColumn, ' BETH ')

0 row(s) affected

Can anyone give me a better solution?

tks

Hi All,We're running SQL Server 2000, SP3.I have a stored procedure that consists of a single Select statement.It selects a bunch of columns one of which is a column of data typeTEXT.SP takes 30 sec to run which causes timeouts on the Front End.When I comment out the Text column from the select it only takes 1Sec.Is there anything I can do about it? I know I can't index a Textcolumn. It's also not used in the where clause, so no need forFull-Text Search.But we absolutely have to have it in the Select clause.Thanks for the help in advance.~Narine

Problems With Text Column In SQL SERVER 2000

Aug 4, 2005

Hi,I am trying to access the data inside a text column in the database and display it on a page.The problem is, I cannot see the full data when I execute the stored procedure in SQL Server and also on the asp.net page.it seems Sql server clips the data if it is more than 3000 characters. Is there anyway I can see the whole data that is stored in that particular column.I do not understand why asp.net is also clipping the data. What container can I use to display the text? I have tried Literal, string, placeholder but nothing shows the full text that is supposed to be in the database.I have seen some people using byte arrays but I am not sure how I can use them to display data on a page. If anyone has done this before or had a similar problem please reply back.Thanks.
