Text Datatype?
Nov 13, 2001Hi Everybody,
From the BOL, what I understood is, Text Datatype can accept more characters than 'char' & 'varchar' datatypes. There is no limitation like 8000 characters(what we hv in 'char' & 'varchar').
But I am surprised I am not able to add more than 8000 characters to my text datatype. Can anybody guide me how to do this?. Any help is appreciated.
tks in advance,
Sri

TEXT Datatype Problems
May 24, 1999I am trying to use the TEXT datatype for a column to hold large amounts of ascii data.
Creating the table from script I use:
create table mytable
(
firstcolvarchar(30) not null,
secondcolTEXT not null
)
go
The field will not accept strings in length over 16 chars. I looked at the table design in the enterprise manager and it shows 16 chars as the width.
I tried creating the table with TEXT(32000) but I get "The size (32000) given to the column 'secondcol' exceeds the maximum. The largest size allowed is 8000." I thought that TEXT fields are what you use when the length is over 8000. What do I need to do to enable this type of data storage? thanks in advance.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDiscussion On The TEXT Datatype And ASP
Sep 22, 1998OK, I`ve been researching the use of the TEXT datatype all day and would
like opinions on what I`ve found.
First, a little background. I have been tasked with writing an ASP
application to handle the display of FAQs for a company`s products. I would
like to store all info in a table much like
faqID int
question TEXT
answer TEXT
Simple enough, right? I then tried to create a stored procedure to add a
new FAQ and all hell broke loose. ASP would not pass anything larger than
255 chars to the stored procedure.
I read in the "ADO and SQL Server Developer`s Guide" from Microsoft about
using varchar datatypes of 255 chars (instead of TEXT) and chunking large
text up to fit in these smaller datatypes. This seems like a lot of work.
I also read in "Inside SQL Server 6.5" that "The text datatype is sometimes
awkward to work with. Many functions don`t operate against text, stored
procedures are limited in what they can do with text, and some tools don`t
deal with it well." (page 632). This statement concerns me greatly. How
are stored procedures limited in dealing with TEXT? Do the standard SQL
UPDATE and INSERT commands work or must READTEXT and UPDATETEXT be used
instead?
I guess my question is, what is the best way to accomplish this? I have a
feeling that others have had to do this before. Is SQL Server not meant to
handle large textual objects? Is chunking the best way to go? Will version
7.0 handle this scenario better?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Comparing Text DataType???
Sep 9, 2005I'm trying to do a simple search for any record that has an empty 'dsc' field. There isn't a NULL character in there, just a SPACE character. The 'dsc' field is a description field so it's datatype is TEXT.
Code:
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE dsc<>''
Normally I can do a VARCHAR(50) like that and get the results I'm looking for. When I do this on a TEXT datatype I get this error:
The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be compared or sorted, except when using IS NULL or LIKE operator.
I I tried a couple of things, but it's not getting me the correct results.
Code:
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE dsc NOT LIKE '% %'
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE dsc NOT LIKE '% '
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE dsc NOT LIKE ' %'
Please shed some light on this.. thanks!
Edited @ 12:08 PM
After some research I found an unconventional way of beating the system. If you have a more conventional way I would still like to see it. A quick fix is using DATALENGTH() function to compare the data. Basically if there are any characters besides NULL and space then the data length will be more than zero.
Code:
SELECT id FROM leads WHERE DATALENGTH(dsc)=0

How To Convert Bit Datatype To Text
Mar 24, 2008I have a number of bit datatypes ( Boat types: Cruiser, Sportfisher, Megayacht, Sailboat) that I would like to place in a text box and do away with the individual selections. For instance, some marinas cater to "Cruiser", "Megayacht" and "Sailboat" while others include the "Sportfisher" also and there are many other combinations of vessels. I am stumped at how to write a query that takes the existing "True" values for each boat type and places them in a text box in the form of
" Cruisers, Megayachts, Sailboats" .
Thanks in advance for possible solutions.

View 6 Replies View RelatedProblem In Concatenating Characters In Text Datatype?
Nov 12, 2001Hi Everybody,
I have a table with one column of text data type. This table contains around 1200 records(each row is 60 characters only). My task is, I have to append all these records into a single record(Concatenation of records from other table) to another table.
For that I have created table(destination table) with one column of text datatype. Using the 'UPDATETEXT' function I am able to append 133 records(each row of 60 characters) from the other table into a single row of my destination table. After that I am not able to append my records further. It is giving the following error.
"
Server: Msg 7135, Level 16, State 4, Procedure gene1_proc, Line 26
Deletion length 60 is not in the range of available text, ntext, or image data. The statement has been terminated.
"
Why I have created 'text' instead of char or varchar datatype is, it can accept more than 8000 characters. But here in my case it is not accepting more than 8000 characters. The problem is coming from 134 (133*60 = 7980 characters) records onwards.
Can anybody guide me how to proceed with this?.
tks in advance,
Sam
Full-text Search On Encrypted XML Datatype
May 25, 2007That's right. My developers want full-text searching implemented on an encrypted XML datatype...on SQL Server Express, no less.
Whether this can be done seems to boil down to four questions:
1) Can the XML datatype be encrypted?
2) Can the XML datatype be full-text indexed?
3) Can encrypted data be full-text indexed?
4) Can encrypted XML data be full-text indexed?
So I'm diving into the documentation now, but if anybody out there already knows whether the answer to any of these questions is "No", please save me some time.
Oh, and they also want to substitute potato nuggets for fries, and biggie-size the whole thing.

Large Arrays, UDFs And The Text Datatype
Jul 23, 2005I have a bunch of SPs that all rely on a UDF that parses a commadelimitted list of numbers into a table. Everything was working fine,but now my application is growing and I'm starting to approach the 8000character limit of the varChar variable used to store the list.I would like to change the UDF only and avoid having to dig through allof my stored procedures. I was hoping to use the text datatype toallow for much larger lists, but I am unable to perform anymanipulations necessary to parse the list into a table. I have triedPATINDEX, but it alone is not enough without the text maniuplations andI don't think the sp_xml_preparedocument can be used in a UDF.Anyone with any thoughts on managing large arrays in t-sql?thanks,Matt Weiner
