Transact SQL :: Reading Text From BLOB / Varbinary Objects
Aug 26, 2015We have an interface where we receive data from an external supplier. One of the fields in the interface is of type BLOB (the source is an Oracle database), which would be read into our MSSQL database as image. This can also be converted to varbinary, and a typical field value looks something like:
0x70697A5F8F000000789C0DCCBD0DC2301....etc. etc.
However, we know that the origin only contains text, and we even know the text from the GUI they supply us with. The text could typically be "Delayed by 3 minutes because of water damage" or something like that.
What I want to do, is to extract that text from the field.
First, I have stored the incoming data stream in a table, where one column is of type varbinary(max). It looks like this goes swell. But I don't know which command to use in order to get the text extracted.
I have tried these:
1) select master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(Myfield) from Mytable
-> Returns just the text "0x70697A5F8...." which I have no interest in
2) select cast(Myfield as varchar(max)) from Mytable
-> Returns just Chinese signs.
3) select cast(Myfield as nvarchar(max)) from Mytable
-> Returns just Chinese signs.
4) declare @ptrval varbinary(16)
select @ptrval = TEXTPTR(MyField) from MyTable  -- with MyField defined as image
READTEXT MyTable.MyField @ptrval 1 30
-> Returns just the text "0x697A5F8...." which I have no interest in
Of course, since only text is stored in this field, the field should never have been defined as BLOB in the first place. But the source system is external, and it's a standard system, so we may not alter it in any way.

.Net Trigger, Reading All The Data
Jun 8, 2007I have a trigger written in C# which I have added to the insert event on a table, however, when testing it generates a "System.Data.SQLClient.SqlException; Cannot use text, ntext, or image columns in the 'inserted' and 'deleted' tables"
My code is attempting to read all the column names & the data contained in them as the record is created, so a solution that allows me to read all the data from each column is what I am after.
Code Extract:
public static void splTrigger()
{
SqlTriggerContext triggContext = SqlContext.TriggerContext;
// string userName, realName;
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("context connection = true");
connection.Open();
SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
SqlDataReader reader;
string data = "";
switch (triggContext.TriggerAction)
{
case TriggerAction.Insert:
command.CommandText = "SELECT * from " + "inserted";
reader = command.ExecuteReader();
//userName = (string)reader[0];
//realName = (string)reader[1];
// prepare data as name value pairs
for (int i = 0; i < reader.FieldCount; i++)
{
data = data + reader.GetName(i) + ":" + (string)reader[ i ] + " ";
}
break;
...
}}
Reading Data From 2 Files
Oct 18, 2007Hi,
My first post.
Problem:
I have 2 tables EmployeeA(Eng) and EmployeeB(Spanish) kept in seperate mdb's. I want to add the records into Sql Server 2005 table called StateEmployee.
Procedure:
1. Loop through 2 folders..one containing table EmployeeA in mdb and other containing tbl EmployeeB in diff mdb's.
2. Pick a file from EmployeeA and EmployeeB, both at the same time.
3. Count the total no of rows in both files. If equal proceed.
4. Compare the 'employeeid' of one row of employeeA to the employeeid of EmployeeB.
5. If employee id matches, load both the rows in Sql server else file it to the error table.
6. Loop through all rows simultaneously till end of row.
7. Go to next mdb.
How do i go about this step by step. I am fairly new to SSIS. I asked my other friends too but they have complex answers which i couldnt follow. Hope someone gives an 'easy to understand' solution with sample.
thanks.

Connecting To And Reading Data From A SQL Database
Jul 25, 2006Hi Everyone,
I am looking for some help, as i am pulling my hair out looking for information.
I have been using asp for many years and am now starting to learn .net. so far so good....
I am now wanted to connect to a database, execute a simple select statement and then read/write the information out. I can't help but think in old asp code and i am having a hard time finding what i need to perfom this simple task.
I have used the grid controls etc, and these are very good - however, i need to connect to a database in the code-behind file and perfom various functions in the background.
If any of you could be so kind as to perhaps show me some demo code i would be grateful.
I would like to do:
A) Connect to a database (sql server 2000)B) Execute a simple SQL select statementC) Read the returned informationD) put this information into variables used elsewhereE) how do you check if no records are returned? such as the .EOF in asp?
Many thanks

Problems Reading Data From A Database
Mar 24, 2008I have a database that contains news items. There's a column that contains the actual article. In that field, there are paragraphs with page breaks. The page breaks in the database are represented as squares (unrecognizable characters I guess). When I try to read in the data, it doesn't recognize the page breaks, and it comes out all in one large paragraph. Is there any way to get around this?

Hi,
I have a data structure called 'Quote' which contains a number of different variables and controls ranging from text boxes, check boxes and radio buttons, i need to be able to read and write this from a database.
First I think a description of my overall project is needed:
Project Description
I have been given a brief that basically says: i have to create a programmed solution in VB to solve a problem. This problem can be anything we like, and I personally have chosen to create a program that manages quotes for building Log Cabins (this is very contrived and far from anything someone would do in the real world).
My solution will allow a generic user to create a quote (using a form with controls such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons) , and then save this to file. These users may then wish to load/edit this quote at a later date, from another form.
Whilst completing this project, i'll only have up to about 5 records (quotes) within the system, so i dont need the ability to store hundreds of records. And each record will be relatively short, with only about 10-15 data items within the data structure.
Also the Admin (or business owner in this case) need to be able to view all saved quotes in a presentable format, and edit them if needs be, from within this same program.
This solution does not need to be absolutely perfect and 100% efficiently coded, or have all the bells and whistles a real-world program would have. This is for an A level computing project by the way.
So basically, i need to be able to read from the database (to populate a Data Grid (i imagine this is best way?)) and so Admin can access any quote and edit it (editing is not vital, but viewing/printing is. Maybe i should stop at just viewing any quote?). Also i need generic users to be able to fill in the Edit Quote form and then save this data into the database.
And is a data structure really required for me to use a database?
I've never used databases in VB before (but have used them elsewhere, mainly Access) and so am completely new to this. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Reading Data From A String Into A SQL Database

I've got the listener to read the data over the port already and write the record into a string which i have already sliced up. Now i need to create a connection to the database and insert the variables into the database.
If Someone will please be able to give me a rough idea of how i could accomplish this with some sample code, then i will be greatful, i'm new to C#, but here is my code that i have so far.
//This is the Connection that i have made and where i am currently stuck, i dunno how to go further. Any help will be welcome.

Reading Data From A Text File
Apr 21, 2007I have text output files which are semi-structured.(Headers + irregular length tables below)
Is there a simple method of getting them into sql format(line by line) to try and extract data from them?
I know this won't be easy but its been worrying me for a long time. I have a method of importing the data into excel, but although difficult, it must be possible to get a system to get it into sql server. This must be a fairly common issue.

I installed the Adventureworks sample database and can see it from the server managment studio express. I am doing now an tutorial from Microsoft to display the data in a grid view using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express.
I am connecting to the DB with this connection string: "Data Source=STK-SASA-MX025SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True" and I can see all the tables of the database. When I try to select some fields from the database using the wizard, like: SELECT [Name] FROM [ProductCategory] I get the following error message:
Invalid object name: ProductCategory, and to check the syntax and the types, but it seems to me quite standard SQL.
Anybody could help me please?

Output And Reading Data From A Text File??
Sep 1, 1999Hi,
How would I be able to query a table (ie. all people with last name 'Smith'), have that set of data outputted to a regular text file (in a formatted way)
And what's the best way to manipulate that set of data to let's say update a Yes/No field in that table to mark that that those individuals('Smith') which were outputted in that text file?
What about the reverse? If I got a regular text file with Last Name, Social Security(delimited by tab), etc is there a way I can get SQL Server to read that text file and make an update to the database based on the Social security in that text file.
Any help would be immensely appreciated!

I execute the stored procedure specifying acDataBuf as 0x21222324252627 which translates to "ABCDEFG" ascii codes.
The resulting field display is !"#$%&' which is hex: 0x01020304050607 (the "2"s got dropped)
When I modify the code by adding a line sval="hello" the resulting field display is "hello" This tells me as long as sval is assigned a proper string, the rest will work ok.
So something must be wong with the line String str = .....

SQL Server 2005 Integration Service (SSIS) Reading HTTP Data
Jan 16, 2008
I need to read in general web pages (not a web service) from a typical web site using SSIS and make it available for other SSIS transformations (Script Component). I tried using the XMLSource data source but this appears to require well formed XML, and will not accept HTML which is what I am likely to be getting from the web pages.
I tried a HTTP Connection Manager with a DataReader Source, but seems to only accomodate web services.
Can this be done? If someone has an example (tutorial) of how to accomplish this I would greatly appreciate a copy.
