Text And Ntext Fields

Jul 23, 2005

I've just gotten my data into SQL Server, and changed the connection string
on the program.

There was a memo field (Access 2000) and we put that in a text field (with a
default length of 16?).

Now, when displaying the data online (through asp pages), there are big
white-space gaps in the pages (that display the memo field data), images
have a "double" url
(http://www.mysite.com/thisfolder/ht...thelinksite.com)

there are lots of place with " ".

The field data has html tags in it, if that has anything to do with it.

It seems like I've heard that there are issues with text fields. Is this
what they meant? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks, JA

Managing Ntext, Text With A Long Text Data

Aug 25, 2005

Hi,I have a problem to insert(update) a long text (more than 64K) intoSQL 2000 (datatype - 'text'). It cuts the data and insert only 64K.MSDN says: "When the ntext, text, and image data values get larger,however, they must be handled on a block-by-block basis. BothTransact-SQL and the database APIs contain functions that allow applications towork with ntext, text, and image data block by block." Could somebodygive me an example how to do this, please.Thank you

Ntext Fields In ReportServer Db

Apr 4, 2008



I haven't had to deal with ntext fields before, I'm finding that they are a ton of fun


Can someone tell me what the impact would be of changing all of the ntext column in ReportServer, ReportServerTempDB, and RSExecutionLogs to varchar(MAX)?

I can only guess that ntext was left in for backwards compatibility with sql2k?

Thanks for any thoughts, direction!

Urgent Need For Problem Of Increase In Database Size For Ntext Type Fields

Jan 22, 2006

I had several databases under sqlserver ce 2.0 (in my Pocket PC) which contained ntext fields. The size of the databases varies from 50,000 to 700,000 records. The size of an ntext field is from 4 bytes to 2 megabytes.

When I recreated my databases under sql server 2005 mobile on my desktop using VS2005 (see my post just under this one), I saw a big difference between the old and new database sizes. This problem was mentioned in one of the posts in this forum and the reply was to replace ntext data with ncharvar type.

Since most of my data was longer than 4000 bytes (which is the limit for nvarchar type), I couldn't use this suggestion. Instead, I changed my ntext type to image type and used a GetByte conversion.

No change! The size of the new database is still 50 % larger than the original. Since the difference is around 300 MB, this is an unacceptable thing.

Now, I either wait from somebody to suggest a new solution (apart from keeping the ntext data in a separate binary file and keep index of the records of this file in the records of sql database) or, most preferably, have

Microsoft solve this problem as soon as possible.

Thanks for any help in advance

Text (or Ntext) Concatenation

Apr 4, 2004

i want to concatenate 2 columns of type text

what am trying to do is adding an instead of trigger on update which concatenates the old value in the text column with the new value

so the problem is how i can concatenate both values since i cant declare a variable of type text.

A solution may be dividing the text column into many varchar(8000) variables and then add them but i dont know how it can be implemented or if there's an easier solution

the code am trying:

CREATE TRIGGER InsteadTrigger on tbl
INSTEAD OF Update
AS
BEGIN

if exists(select null from deleted)
begin
--am considering updating only 1 row
update tbl set theValue=((select theValue from deleted)+(select theValue from inserted))
end



i tried the writetext and updatetext functions and the problem is always related to both columns concatenation


Any solution?

thx

Converting Text Dat To Ntext Data

Mar 26, 2006

Hi all,

My organization have a web-based application and needs it to support multilingual so we will be adapting our app to use unicode. However, one of our problems is to convert existing data from text to ntext. I couldn't find anything that document this. What is the best way to do that? I would like to be able to migrate the data from an existing text column to another ntext column in the table.

If I can't do that, what are the options? If it's possible, I would like to be able to do this in sql script.


Thanks a mil, in advance.

Ntext && Text Storage - How Do These Work?

Nov 28, 2004

Howdy,


Can some one please explain how the storage of a huge text or ntext object ( say a string of characters 100 KB in size ) is carried out please?

With a data page maximum size of 8000 bytes, how does SQL handle the storage of such an string - it would obviously obverlap multiple rows etc.
Does the application writing it to the database have to split the object over multiple rows and manually keep track of which bit is in which row so it can be re-created later in correct sequence by adding the bits back together, or is it done some how differently?

Any help most welcome as this is a bit confusing.

Cheers,

SG.

Field Too Small; Cannot Use Text Or NText; Ugh, Little Help.

Sep 9, 2006

My Stored Proc runs through a loop and concats the contents of each field into one big nvarchar. Procedure works fine on a smaller scale but now it is being implemented on a very large table and the results of the sequel overflow the nvarchar limits. I looked into using text and ntext but both cannot be declared locally. Does anyone know how I can work aroudn this limitation?

Summary:The problem is that the temporary variable I am using (nvarchar) is too small to contain the robust size that the SQL is concating into it. The final field it winds up in is a text field and will be able to handle the amount of data, its just getting the data there is the issue..... Your thoughts please....

SPROC Cannot Pass Text Or Ntext

Apr 2, 2004

Hi there! I've read through several of these forums and am impressed by the talent out there. I'm hoping someone could share some insight on a little complication I've got.

I have a sproc that essentially is pulling all mail items from a profile, reading them in and storing them in a table. It is all working fine MINUS the fact that I cannot pass the message because it won't allow me to pass text or ntext.

NText Column Text Encoding/decoding

Sep 19, 2007

Hi,

I have a table column type as nText, however there are some Chinese character stored in that field and it is a messed up as it is not readable.

In my vb.net code, I did Convert to unicode by getting the byte of each character and encode it with UTF8 e.g:


Public Shared Function ConvertToUnicode(ByVal s As String) As String


' Convert To Unicode

Dim MyBytes As Byte() = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(s)

Dim GBencoding As Encoding = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8

Return GBencoding.GetString(MyBytes)

End Function


This works well but ,the problem is that it slows down the process quite alot, and I wonder are there any text encoding method I can use in SQL that can run when i do the SELECT Statement?


SELECT
Convert(MyNTEXTColumn)
....
something like that?

Thanks.
Jon

Adding A Full Text Search Across Multiple Tables (with Text Fields)

Sep 7, 2007

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results.  I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields.  I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view.  I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.

Manipulating Text,nText Data Types Filed In Tsql

Jul 12, 2006

I have to run a dynamic sql that i save in the database as a TEXT data type(due to a large size of the sql.) from a .NET app.  Now i have to run this sql from the stored proc that returns the results back to .net app. I am running this dynamic sql with sp_executesql like this..
EXEC sp_executesql @Statement,N'@param1 varchar(3),@param2 varchar(1)',@param1,@param2,GO
As i can't declare text,ntext etc variables in T-Sql(stored proc), so i am using this method in pulling the text type field "Statement".
DECLARE @Statement varbinary(16)SELECT @Statement = TEXTPTR(Statement)FROM table1 READTEXT table1.statement @Statement 0 16566
So far so good, the issue is how to convert @Statment varbinary to nText to get it passed in sp_executesql.
Note:- i can't use Exec to run the dynamic sql becuase i need to pass the params from the .net app and Exec proc doesn't take param from the stored proc from where it is called.
I would appreciate if any body respond to this.

Replace Text In Text, Char && Varchar Fields All At Once?

Jan 22, 2008

I have followed many tutorials on selecting and replacing text in text fields, varchar fields and char fields, but I have yet to find a single script that will to all 3 based on field type. Let's assume for a moment that I don't know where all in my database a certain value that I need changed resides ... i.e., the data's tablename and fieldname. How would I go about doing the following ... or more importantly, is this even possible in a SQL only procedure?1) Loop over entire database and get all user tables2) Loop over all user tables and get all fields3) Loop over all fields and determine the field type4) switch between field types and change a string of text from 'a' to 'b'Please be gentle, I'm a procedure newb.

Using Inserted / Deleted Tables With Text / NText / Image Data Type

Oct 6, 2004

Hi folks,

Table:

a int,
b int,
c int,
d text

I need to change my AFTER - Trigger from this (example!):

select * into #ins from inserted

to something like

select *(without Text / nText / image -columns) into #ins from inserted.

So I tried to build a string like this: (using INFORMATIONSCHEMES)

select @sql = 'select a,b,c into #ins from inserted'
exec(@sql)

a,b,c are not of Text, nText or Image datatype.

After executing the trigger, I get an error, that inserted is unknown.

Does anyone know how to solve this ?

Thx.

I have copied the data from the table to a new table and rebuilt the indexes on the new table and everything is working fine.

The bad table is now renamed to myTable_BAD. I now want to delete it but can't as everytime I enter

I get Page (1:404399), slot 5 for text, ntext, or image node does not exist.

Function That Replaces Ntext And Compares Ntext With Nvarchar

Nov 28, 2007

I am running this query to an sql server 2000 database from my aspcode:"select * from MyTable whereMySqlServerRemoveStressFunction(MyNtextColumn) = '" &MyAdoRemoveStressFunction(MyString) & "'"The problem is that the replace function doesn't work with the ntextdatatype (so as to replace the stresses with an empty string). I hadto implement the MySqlServerRemoveStressFunction, i.e. a function thattakes a column name as a parameter and returns the text contained inthis column having replaced some letters of the text (the letters withstress). Unfortunately, I could not do that because user-definedfunctions cannot return a value of ntext.So I have the following idea:"select * from MyTable whereCheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStesses(MyNtextColum n, '" & MyString &"')"How can I implement the CheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStessesfunction? (I don't know how to combine these functions to do what Iwant: TEXTPTR, UPDATETEXT, WRITETEXT, READTEXT)

Text Fields In Sp_makewebtask

Mar 2, 1999

Hey everyone,

using SQL 6.5 sp_makewebtask in a stored procedure I want to create a
press-info file.
My query calls four fields, a datum field, two varchar fields and a text
field, it's
the field "PrText" in my example:

EXEC sp_makewebtask @outputfile='F:EntwicklungRedaktionZeitwenden27.ht m',
@query='SELECT Datum, Ort, Headline, PrText
FROM news
WHERE ID = 27',
@templatefile='F:EntwicklungRedaktionZeitwendenTem plates.htm'

My question: Am I limited to 255 characters in this case? After 255
characters the text is cut off and
I have only a truncated text fragment.

Is there a possibility to get the whole text without using @blobfmt (I don't
want to use this parameter because
I want to have the datum data, the varchar headline AND the text in ONE
HTML-file.)

I have tried the same as dynamic query in ASP where I have no problem to get
the whole content of the text field, but I want
to create a static file because this information will be read often, but
won't be updated frequently
and I don't want to charge the server resources to much.

Has anybody an idea? Any help would be appreciated.


Thank You

SQL Server Text Fields

Mar 16, 2006

The Text datatype can hold several million characters
The size of a record can be no more than 8 KB in normal data.

Created a table with one text field. For some reason can only store 1K of data into it. Even if the 8K limit was a factor (which it shouldn't for a text field) I cannot add more than 1K of data into my text field. 1023 characters to be exact.

Why is SQL Server 2000 doing this and more importantly how to resolve?

Concatenate Two Text Fields

Mar 29, 2006

New to using MS SQL server!
I have a requirements DB. Before I came on board, the DB was seeded with requirements text and a requirements ID in separate columns. I've been asked to append the ID in front of the text:

Text - The user shall be able....
ID - 1.01.01.
Combined - 1.01.01.The user shall be able....

I've created the following query that displays the columns:

CREATE VIEW dbo.ReqID
AS
SELECT RQREQUIREMENTS.ID, RQREQUIREMENTS.REQUIREMENTNAME,
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.FIELDVALUE

FROM RQREQUIREMENTS LEFT OUTER JOIN
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES ON
RQREQUIREMENTS.ID =
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.REQUIREMENTID

WHERE (RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.FIELDID = 171)

The Text field is REQUIREMENTNAME
The ReqId is FIELDVALUE

Should I create an UPDATE query based on this SELECT, updating the REQUIREMENTNAME column with FIELDVALUE + REQUIREMENTNAME?

Please advise - thanks!
