Text Too Long To Be Edited
Oct 10, 2006
Hi,
I asked this in an MS Access newsgroup, but no one has answered. Since it
also applies to SQL Server, maybe someone in here has an answer? I actually
do have the same problem in both SQL Server 2000 and Access 2000.
When I click in certain records in a memo field, I get the error message
"text too long to be edited", and I can't get into the record to make any
changes.
I tried exporting the record to html, but only part of the memo field is
exported.
I know that in SQL Server, you can increase the size of the field, but you
can't do that in an Access memo field (that I know of!).
I'm thinking that if I could get into the field and lose some of the white
space, it would help, but I can't get into the field, and can't get the data
out, either!
Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks, Jill~

Hi,
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

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

You should use readtext and writetext to access text column. By the way, nchar and nvarchar can hold up to 4000 characteres.

store some of it (like 100 or something) .. Seems like a data type problem…(I am using SQL server 2000)
This
is what I have defined:

Good day,
I have a database table that is populated by bulk insert of a text file. This file is not comma delimetated and there are no line end characters, just one very long string, although the file is fixed length.
As I said I now have this long string in my SQL Server 2005 table. Is there a fast way to split this up into multiple rows?
Say for instance I have a string of 100 characters and each row would be made up of 10 characters. Is there a easy way to split this into the 10 rows or 10 characters using just a SQL statement?
Please can someone help.
Thanks

Hi all,
Newbie here, just wanted to get that out of the way first
and foremost.
Im trying to set up a DB in SQL 2000 that allows me to enter
lots of text into a column.
I read one site where it said to use the NTText datatype with a length
of 16. I did that, but everytime I enter alot of text into that column
I get <Long Text> and I dont know how to output that or even
read it.
Do any of you guys know how to either:
1. get the text out of the <long text> or
2. a better way to store that much data.
Thank you in advance!!!

Hello,
I would like to know as to what data type is the best if I want to store MP3's and large amount of text in a SQL server.
Please let me know about the data type for both the tasks.
The table for MP3 is different than the table for large text (eg . saving somebody's resume)
Please do let me know.
Thank you,

I know that similar items have been posted before but I have not found a solution to my issue by reading them.
I have a text field which holds amendment details and it cannot be updated through QA. I have 50 records which I have had to manually update through Enterprise Manager. I have been able to edit the amendment details field of 48 of these records. However for 2 records the amendment details field contains <long text> and as we all know, there does not seem to be an easy way to edit these.
Before I give up for good, does anyone have any suggestions?
Help much appreciated.

I have a question that has a co-worker and myself confused. We are using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. When I select return all rows in my tables, any content that is too long will appear as <Long Text> on my co-workers machine, but the column is blank on my machine. Is there a property or configuration that enables/disables <Long Text>? I am confused as to why it appears on other machines, but not mine.
Your help is appreciated.
Live Life.

I have an ASP page that will take form info that a user has entered,then save it into SQL server, and retrive and display the info onanother page. My problem is with long text data (10,000 bytes ormore). It appears to save the long text data, as in it gives noerrors... but it does not save it. In the SQL table, the field isdefined as ntext... So why won't it save?Thanks in advance,adam

Hi everybody,i try to send messages longer than 7990 characters from a text fieldin SSQL2000. Unfortunatly the messages get cut off after 7990character.I did everything which is described in BOL (see below). It does notsolve the problem. Upgraded to newest Outlook Client and tried to sendas an attachment also. No success though.Does anybody have a hint before i contact Microsoft.RegardsYorn Ziesche[color=blue]>E. Send messages longer than 7,990 characters[/color]This example shows how to send a message longer than 7,990 characters.Because message is limited to the length of a varchar (less rowoverhead, asare all stored procedure parameters), this example writes the longmessageinto a global temporary table consisting of a single text column. Thecontents of this temporary table are then sent in mail using the@queryparameter.CREATE TABLE ##texttab (c1 text)INSERT ##texttab values ('Put your long message here.')DECLARE @cmd varchar(56)SET @cmd = 'SELECT c1 FROM ##texttab'EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail 'robertk',@query = @cmd, @no_header= 'TRUE'DROP TABLE ##texttab

I have a dtsx package that works fine with one exception. When I open the dtsx package in BI, it gives me the following message:
Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file?
When I respond yes, the package opens and I can edit or execute with no problem. Still, I want to understand what could cause this message to occur and, more importantly, how I can get rid of the message. When I try to simply execute the package I still get the same error and it seems this will be a problem for trying to run the package from SQL Server agent.
It seems likely to me that this message refers to the dtsx file (in xml format) itself. Does that make any sense?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I need all the advise and help I can get on this ... so please post anything you think would work ... A little confused I am:
Have a database table called "people" with "person name" and "ID" field. My ASP.NET application mainly stores articles in article table. An article's Article text mentions various people's names in different combinations (e.g. John, Smith, John Smith, Smith John, etc)
Is there any way, I could compare the article text stored in article table with people table and get the people from people table along with their ID's who have been mentioned in that article? ... so in an article "i love john smith ... and i think Mr smith has always been helpful", I get John Smith back...
Not too sure being honest, what is the best way of implementing this, looking for the most efficient way, probably using XML? SQL Query or may be ASP.NET's code behind?
Thanks once again for taking the time.
Cheers,
Tyro

Where the XL500 KOJI is the item Code and the rest of the text is the name,unfortunately my report engine doesn't support Can grow and hence the text is long in this case around 104, it can be around 250- it got truncated in the print out, I can split the text to 50 characters each but the result would be
XL500 KOJI This item is the best item in the mar
ket you cant find anything else like it 500HP ama

As you can see the word market and amazing was sliced. How do I split the text to 50's but if that splits a word it will be copied to the next filed like this

As we all know, there is a 8060 bytes size limit on SQL Server rows. Ihave a table which requires a number of text fields (5 or 6). Each ofthese text fields should support a max of 4000 characters. We currentlystore the data in varchar columns, which worked fine untill ourappetite for text fields increased to the current requirement of 5, 6fields of 4000 characters size. I am given to review a design, whichesentially suggests moving the text columns to a separate TextFieldstable. The TextFields table will have two columns - a unique referenceand a VARCHAR (4000) column, thus allowing us to crossreference withthe original record. My first impresion is that I'd rather use the SQLServer 'text' DB type instead, which would allow me the samefunctionality with much less effort and possibly better performance.Can anyone advise on advantages and disadvantages of the two optionsand what the best practice in this case would be.Any advise will be well appreciated.Tzanko

Hi everyone,
I've got an excel file that I want to import into a database table.
The longest text in a cell is 385 characters.
I've made the fields in the table nvarchar(1024).
I created a data flow task for the import.
When I run this task, I get the following error:
[Excel Source [1]] Error: There was an error with output column "Line Text" (52) on output "Excel Source Output" (9). The column status returned was: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
[Excel Source [1]] Error: The "output column "Line Text" (52)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "Line Text" (52)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
is it possible that there is a restriction on the length of the text ?
regards,
Filip

i am facing a werid problem it is related to storing a long text data in SQL 2000 the text data is some thing like the following
"dshjfsjlksdjakdjlksadjfeidkadflkdsajfieawirfjalkdfjsakdfjaiekdvnmckaumnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmoadifdjsakdjfauiereoweiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidalfkjdsa,mlfdsdflvmsaldifsdjfskladfakdfjakladkalfkfadkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkadlkfjaidfajfkamcmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmiadlmfalierfmaerjeaiaelelllllllllllllllllllll..."

What am i doing wrong........if Text is not the proper datatype to store such a data then can anyone suggest some thing better...............
Thanks in advance

When I import data from MS Access databases, some fields appear as
"<Long Text>" in SQL. I cannot edit these fields in SQL. I have to export
the table to Access, update the field, and then import again.
There's got to be an easier way. What am I missing here?
The field in Access is of type 'memo'.
