Transact SQL :: INSERT Script To Allow Ampersands And Apostrophes
Jun 1, 2015
I work with both Oracle and SQL Server databases (most of the time Oracle) and I was wondering if there is a function that allows ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted into the database. Oracle has a function called SET DEFINE OFF and that allows for ampersands and apostrophes to be inserted without giving me an error. Is there something similar in SQL Server? I'm migrating some data and quite few rows have ampersands and apostrophes.

Hello,
could someone help with this query in a stored proc.?
SET @SQL = 'SET ''' + @avgwgt + ''' = '
'(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN (' + @cagearray + ')
and ItemDate =''' + CONVERT(varchar(23),@startdate) + ''')'
EXEC @SQL
I'm trying to get an average value across dynamically selected rows. (I'm using a list array to deliver the selection to the stored proc). I need to re-use the average value within the procedure,so it's not enough to output it as a column of the resultset - EG. 'Select AVG(AverageWeight) as AvgWgt' . If I take out the @avgwgt line it works fine, but otherwise I'm getting this error:
"Incorrect syntax near '(SELECT AVG(AverageWeight)
FROM CageFishHistory where CageID IN ('."
It may be that I can access a column of the resultset in the rest of the procedure, and that would help avoid the use of pesky apostrophes, but I don't know how to do it.

I am using a SQLDatasource to populate a dataview as illustrated below. I run into a problem when I search for a "LastName" that includes an (') Apostrophe ( e.g. O'Reilly) . Searchin for the whole name there is no problem, but when I search for simply O, or O' I get errors.
I am not sure ...when to address names with an apostrophe...
1) On insertion to the database (using a "Replace(LastName, "'", "''") 2) or after they have been entered and they are to be searched for.
If scenario 1, can anyone provide the best way to do this...If scenario 2, how would that be worked into the SQL Datasource code below....
I have tried several variations with the times SQL Datasource to no avail....
I would appreciate any help !
Thanks !
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ClinicTest2ConnectionString1 %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [PatientID], [Accession], [FirstName], [LastName], [Address1], [City], [strddlPatientState], [ZIP], [DOB] FROM [ClinicalPatient] WHERE [LastName] LIKE @LastName ORDER BY [LastName],[FirstName]ASC">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="LastName" QueryStringField="NameSearch_Result" />
</SelectParameters>

I am currently migrating our Intranet from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server2000 and have hit a problem with one of the applications. Theapplication in question executes the folloiwing query against thedatabase:select * from employee where emp_id = 760In SQL Server 7 this works without a problem, however, in SQL server2k the following error is returned:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Syntax error convertingthe varchar value 'Con25' to a column of data type int.This is clearly because the column emp_id is a varchar, I understandthat this code has not exactly followed best practices but do not wantto have to trawl through the application and surround all instanceswith apostrophes.Is it possible to make SQL 2k act in the same way as SQL 7 or will Ihave to trawl through the code and correct the SQL statements.Thanks for any help.John

After creating an IN clause from a bunch of character strings created by aWord macro, Query Analyzer complains about a syntax error. The macro takes acolumn full of character strings and wraps apostrophes (single-quotes)around each string and adds a comma to the end of each line, ready to pasteinto a Query Analyzer session. The problem is that Query Analyzer doesn'trecognize the MS-Word apostrophes. It has nothing to do with the standardapostrophe/quote problems that some people face when dealing with embeddedquotes.Can anyone suggest how to produce single-quote characters in MS-Word thatQuery Analyzer understands?Thank you.

Hi I have an asp.net 2.0, web app with a sql 2000 db. I am having a problem when users cut and past content from Word and Excel and past it into a textbox apostrophes are replaced as question marks when saved to db.

Is there a way I a can force my sql server to only allow characters in a certain format, eg iso-8859-1 to resolve this problem Please help somebody must have a resolutionMany thanks in advance

Hi.
I have an update statement that accepts
a user's text input. problem is that the string
terminates the sql update statement if there is
an apostrophe in it. so, headline='i like my brother's car"
willl terminate after "brother". "s car" is read as sql.
how is this resolved?
Code:
Dim MyCmd2 As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF " & _
"UPDATE EditProfile " & _
"SET headline='"+ Me.tb_headline.Value+"', about_me='"+ Me.ta_aboutme.Value+"', edit_date='"+System.DateTime.Now.ToString+"' WHERE email_address='"+Context.User.Identity.Name.ToString+"' " & _
"SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON ", MyConn)

Here is my problem:-
declare @test as varchar(32)
declare @test2 as varchar(32)
set @test='today''s problem'
set @test2='my <string> '
select @test as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
select @test2 as '@attribute' for xml path ('myrow')
I want for xml path to correctly encode the single apostrophe as &apos but the single apostrophe doesn't get encoded. In the second example the greater and less than does get encoded.

I am trying to insert values from a temp table #TableName to a db table.
CATEGORY table- CategoryId, CategoryName, CategoryDescription
Then I did this :
Select CategoryName
into #TableName
from CATEGORY
Now I'm doing this :
Insert into #TestTable values(1,'This is:'+CategoryName)
select CategoryName from #Test
CategoryID right now is not PK.
So, the intention is to insert as many CategoryNames available into TestTable with id 1 and category name edited as shown in Inset statement.
What is wrong with this query. Its not working.

i need to write a query that insert in A table if and only if the row does not exist already in the table (the source is a select statement).
i tried the following:
insert into [A]
select * from [B]
where Not EXISTS (select * from [A])
table [A] is still empty, but it does not insert any thing! .. what i know is that the EXIST checks if the selected row exists in the subquery, ain't ?

I have a file which has some wind data that i am trying to import into a sql data base through bulk insert. if the script works as it supposed i should see 144 rows impacted but i see 0 rows affected.
BULK INSERT TOWER.RAWINTERFACE_1058 FROM 'C:Temp900020150427583.txt'
WITH(CHECK_CONSTRAINTS,CODEPAGE='RAW',DATAFILETYPE='char',FIELDTERMINATOR=' ',ROWTERMINATOR='
',FIRSTROW=172)
The code works if the file is large but if its small 0 rows are affected. and also if i remove the header rows then the file works again. want to understand what is going on here. i am including the screen shot of the file in notepad++. I have tried changing the row terminator to ' ' , ' ' and also tried to change the codepage but nothing seems to work. No error file is being generated either, if i give a error file option.

I have to send an array, which are generated in C++ (or C#) to an SQL-INSERT. Something like this:
INSERT INTO Table1
(Col1,Col2)
VALUES(:a,:b)
// a and b are my arrays//:a=A,B,C,D.....//:b=1,2,3,...
Is there any way to do something like my prototype in MS SQL Server? If yes how should be my INSERT?

I am still learning T-SQL .Lets consider the table below, ID 1-3 shows our purchase transactions from various Vendors and ID 4-6 shows our payments to them
Table 1 - VendorTransactions
ID PARTY AMOUNT VOUCHER
---------------------------------------
1 A 5000 Purchase
2 B 3000 Purchase
3 C 2000 Purchase
4 A 3000 Payment
5 B 1000 Payment
6 C 2000 Payment
7 A 1000 Payment
Now we have a blank table Table 2 - Liabilities
ID PARTY AMOUNT
I want that SQL should look for each individual party from Table 1 and Calculate TOTAL PURCHASE and TOTAL PAYMENTS and then deduct TOTAL PAYMENTS from TOTAL PURCHASE so we get the remaining balance due for each party and then add the DIFFERENCE AMOUNT alongwith PARTY to the TABLE 2 so I can get the desired result like below
ID PARTY AMOUNT
-------------------------
1 A 1000
2 B 2000
3 C 0

I am using SQL 2012 SE. I have 2 databases say A and B with same structure and relationships. There are 65 tables in each database. A is already replicating data to database C for 35 tables. Now I need to move data from A to B which is greater than getdate()-1 everyday for all the tables and once the move is done I need to delete this data from A. And samething the next day. Since this is for 65 tables its challenging to identify the insert order. Once the insert order is identified the delete order will be the reverse of it.
Is there a tool or any SP that could generate the insert order script? The generate scripts data only is generating the entire data and these databases are almost 400GB. So I thought of generating a schema only script and then create an empty database with it and then generate data only to identify the order of insert. But it wont generate anything since there is no data.

I have three tables and all three are linked. Looking for query so that I can get the desired result. Notes for Table_A and Table_B:
ROW Data are given in the variables to insert the Row data. If these Row data are already exist with the exactly same sequence in the row of table then don't need to INSERT data again.If these variable date doen't exist then need to add this row.
Notes for Table_C:
Seq_id_Table_A is a Seq_id of #table_A. Seq_id_Table_B is a Seq_id of #table_B.
--Table_A----------------------Variables for Table_A--------------------
Declare @table_A_Y char(4)='TRC'

I want to be able to run the following command from SSMS (as an ad-hoc query).
BULK INSERT Database_Name.dbo.Table_Name FROM 'serverfile.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '|', ROWTERMINATOR = '0x0a', MAXERRORS = 0);
When I do I get:
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "serverfile.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
I have full access to the file.I can do the same command successfully if the file is stored on a local drive on the server.
According to my DBA I can not run it with a remote file location because I don't have the SA permission. His solution is for me to create a job that runs the command. I have done so and the job works correctly.
Is he correct that there is no way for me to be able to run it from SSMS without SA permissions?

I have a CSV file that I am trying to bulk load into a temp table. The data in the file is all jumbled together, as in, there does not appear to be a row terminator. However, I do see a bunch of little rectangular boxes that I assume are the row terminators.
When I run the bulk insert, the data is treated as one string. For example... If I have 10 columns in the table, the 10 columns will be populated, but the remainder of the data is dumped into the last column.
Here are the row terminators I have used so far that haven't worked.

The reason why cust_id started at #4 and not #1 is because I failed to insert property three times in a row for having "Tatoine" instead of "WI" or a state less than 5chars nchar(5) correct? Then when I did a valid statement, the row was created at the starting number of four. I imagine this prevents users from having duplicate cust_ids. This however is also where rollback and similar commands could be handy correct or is there something more obvious I'm missing on a failed "insert into" to not increment the cust_id. The three rows 1,2 and 3 do not exist I believe and are not null. Having null values would of contradicted the table where two columns "not null" are a requirement.
CREATE TABLE customersnew
(
cust_idINTNOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
cust_nameNCHAR(50)NOT NULL,
cust_addressNCHAR(50)NULL ,
cust_cityNCHAR(50)NULL ,
