Too Many Characters In Character Literal?
Feb 24, 2008
Hello,
I am trying to insert some values retrieved from textboxes into an Access DB using ASP.NET. When I try to run this code I get an error reading "Too many characters in character literal". What does this mean? Also, how do I break new lines, does way this look ok?
string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString1"].ConnectionString;
string sQuery2 = INSERT INTO Member(FirstName, LastName, StreetAdress, PostalAdress, Telephone, Email),
VALUES ('strFirstName', 'strLastName', 'strStreetAddress', 'strPostalAddress', 'strTelephone', 'strEmail');
OleDbConnection oOleDbConnection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
oOleDbConnection.Open();
OleDbCommand command2 = new OleDbCommand(sQuery2, oOleDbConnection);
OleDbDataReader reader2 = command2.ExecuteNonQuery();

best possible way to remove all the characters after a 3rd repetition of a character?
For Example:
I want 10.0.1600.22 to be 10.0.1600
Everything after and including the '.' to be removed.
I understand Substring_Index() is not available whats the other options?

I am trying to replace all special characters in a column with one special character.
Example:
Table: dbo.Employee
Column: Name
Name
-------
edwardneuman!"<]
mikemoreno)'>$:
JeffJensen"?>"
I am trying to get the namepart to the left of ANY special character. To achieve this, I am thinking of replacing all the special characters with a single special character so that I can find the first occurrence of that special character and grab left of the special character (SUBSTRING/CHARINDEX). This way I don't need to loop through all the special characters.
I am expecting the following results:
Name
-------
edwardneuman<<<<
mikemoreno<<<<<
JeffJensen<<<<

Maybe its better toencode (like base64) the strings?Perhaps there are some links to read?Thanks.klaus.

I have a problem where I want to write a function to remove recurring characters from a string and replace them with a single same character.
For instance I have the string '12333345566689' and the result should be '12345689'. In Oracle I could do this with "regexp_replace('12333345566689', '(.)1+', '1')", but in T-SQL the only solution I could think of is something like this:
DECLARE @code NVARCHAR(255)
SET @code = '12333345566689';
SET @code = REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(@Code, '1', '~1'), '1~', ''), '~1', '1');
and repeat this for 2 - 9. But I'm sure there is a more elegant version for this in SQL Server 2012.

Hi,
A really basic problem in psuedo code...
select * from mytable where email = 'test@go.com'
This throws back:
Unclosed quotation mark before the character string 'test@'.
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'test@'.
Unclosed quotation mark before the character string ''.
Because of the 'go'. Other addresses featuring 'go' suffer the same problem. How do I escape it?
Thanks,
Joe

I have a stored procedure that starts like this:
.
.
.
UPDATE Employees
set depth=0, hierarchy=NULL
UPDATE Employees
set depth=1, hierarchy=right(@MaxPadLength + CAST(Employees.Parent AS varchar(255)),@DisplayPadLength)
where Child = Parent
WHILE EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM Employees
WHERE Depth=0
)
.
.
.
I have many tables that have the same structure as the Employees table but have different names. I would like to pass the PS a paramater with the table name I want to process. My question is what is the correct syntax to use a parameter in place of the literals for the table name?
Thanks

I am trying to extract the month from a date field, and I am able to get the integer for the month, however, when I try to convert the integer to the literal, e.g. 3 to March, I am having issues.
I have a field called PROCES, which represents a date processed, which is numeric(8).... i.e. 20061231.
I am using:
SELECT datepart(mm,cast(convert(char(8),PROCES)as datetime))
which gives me the correct integer.
When I try:
SELECT datename(mm,datepart(mm,cast(convert(char(8),PROCES)as datetime)))
I get January for all records...?
Does anyone know why, and how to fix.
Thanks

What exactly is happening when a query is sent using the N in front ofthe string to be found?Under what conditions would someone use the N' in a query?I have been testing out some chinese text. I set up some fields ofnVarchar, nText and it works with an N. Without the N, it wont work.N also works with fields of varchar and text for english.Would this ever cause a problem to a query depending on how themachines regional settings are set? Why not just put N in all of thequeryies?If anyone has some ideas, I would be grateful for any and allinformation about the N.

In MS Sql 2000 - is it possible to find the literal underscore character (_). Something like:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
where the query would return "a_abc", "a_cba", and "a_lksdfjlkdsjlksjdfl", but not "abc"?
I've tried:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like ( 'a' + CHAR(95) + '%' )
Any other suggestions?

When a report is exported to Excel, the footer is set to a literal "page 1 of 1" even though it's specified as
="Page " + CStr(Globals!PageNumber) + " of " + CStr(Globals!TotalPages)
in the rldc report definition.
Hence, if you print from Excel every page has the 'page 1 of 1' footer. Not very useful.
Is there a way to either suppress the output of the footer (only when going to Excel cause you need it when exporting to PDF) -or- get it to generate the correct excel footer of 'page 1 of ?'????
Thanks,

I'm struggling with the syntax for qualifying an openquery's results with a where clause. I copied this from examples on the web but get the error  incorrect syntax near '32810'.
declare @sysid varchar(50) = '32810C534D01C920E7CB07EBC0A80122'
declare @sql varchar(500) =
'select * from OPENQUERY(WAREHOUSE,''select * from xxx.yyyy where sys_id = ''' + @sysid + ''''')'
exec(@sql)
selecting @sql it looks like
select * from OPENQUERY(WAREHOUSE,'select * from xxx.yyyy where sys_id = '32810C534D01C920E7CB07EBC0A80122'')

Hi,
I'm a newbee to SQL Server. I have a very simple question to you experts: How should I code a literal of the "datetime"-Datatype? For Example in the VALUES-clause of an SQL-statement. I have tested several "formats" ('20.04.2006 11:15:00' with an 4-digit year enclosed in single apostrophes) but all i earned is an exception!
Any help very appreciated!
Thanks in advance and best regards
Reiner
PS.: I'm using a german-localized database (thus the date-format dd.MM.yyyy).

The proc below does two queries that are functionally identical. The only difference is that one LIKE 'foo%', and the other uses LIKE @searchText, where @searchText = 'foo%'.
But the first does an index seek, and the second does an index scan -- and it makes a big difference in performance. (Timing stats are below.)
How can I make the second query seek instead of scanning?
CREATE PROCEDURE test_like
@searchText nvarchar(64)
AS
-- Straight literal string search
SELECT companyId
FROM companies
WHERE searchbrand LIKE 'foo%'
-- With param
SELECT companyId
FROM companies
WHERE searchbrand LIKE @searchText
OPTION(OPTIMIZE FOR(@searchText = 'foo%'))
GO
EXEC test_like 'foo%'
-- Query 1:
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 1 ms.
-- Query 2:
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 47 ms, elapsed time = 40 ms.

I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last

I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.

Hello all,
From what I've read, SQL Server is supposed to do a phrase match when you do a full text search that contains quoted literals. So, for example, if I did a full text search on the phrase "time out" and I put it in quotes, it's supposed to search for the full phrase "time out" and not just look for rows that contain the words "time" or "out." However, this isn't working for me.
Here is the query that I'm using :
SELECT *
FROM Content_Items ci
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, hed, '"time out"') AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]
ORDER BY ft.RANK DESC
What's it's doing is this : it's returning a bunch of rows that have the words "time" or "out" in the column called hed. It's also returning rows that have the full phrase "time out", but it's giving those rows the same rank as rows that only contain the word "time." In this case, that rank is 180.
Is there anything else I should be doing in my query, or is there some configuration option I should have turned on?
Thanks.

The Web Service Task seems to support calling methods using parameters but not (as far as I can see) using the Document/Literal calling convention. Is this correct? Is this likely to change in the future?

Hi, I have a datareader component of which i am dynamically setting its sqlcommand statement with expression (click the background of dataflow > properties > expressions). Now my sql select statement has about 600 fields so that makes my expression statment "select field1, field2, .....from table1 where field2 >=" + @[User::dateforfield2] but when i evalute the expresssion (which is right), i get the error: A string literal in the expression exceeds the maximum allowed length of 4000 character and i think its because of the fields in my select statment causing my string literal to grow more than 4000 characters. Is there any way to increase the max string literal for expressions. Please help.

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

how SQL 2012 would treat a literal string for a comparison similar to below. I want to ensure that the server isn't implicitly converting the value as it runs the SQL, so I'd rather change the data type in one of my tables, as unicode isn't required.
Declare @T Table (S varchar(2))
Declare @S nvarchar(255)
Insert into @T
Values ('AR'), ('AT'), ('AW')
Set @S = 'Auto Repairs'
Select *
from @T T
where case @S when 'Auto Repairs' then 'AR'
when 'Auto Target' then 'AT'
when 'Auto Wash' then 'AW' end = T.STo summarise
in the above would AR, AT and AW in the case statement be treated as a nvarchar, as that's the field the case is wrapped around, or would it be treated as a varchar, as that's what I'm comparing it to.

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());
