Truncated MS_Description (only Displays First 256 Characters)
Apr 29, 2008
SQL Server 2000 documentation says that the syproperties value (via sp_addextendedproperty) has a limit of 7,500 bytes. So I have a property (MS_Description) on a column which is 654 characters long. When I run fn_listextendedproperty or if I select value from sysproperties I get only the first 256 characters returned. As if the field was truncated when I added it. BUT, if I select something like right(cast(value as varchar(1000)), 200) from sysproperties, I see the remaining characters. So they are there but I can never return the entire string at one time.
Any ideas why this is and how I can get around it?
I have the SQL code for one of the select list columns as shown below in the SSRS Data set query level.
 Example : Select IsNUll(max(ET.[# Utilizations by Utilization Method]),0) as [Employee Period Total]
SQL Result Set Output :
0 0 0
The above code when run in SQL displays correctly with zeroes if NULL values are available from the Source tables.Now at the SSRS Report level design I have grouped with more than one values.Even at the expression  I have given  =Fields!Employee_YTD_Total.Value but report output displays blank In order to evaluate 0 from the SQL result set I even tried equating the values to 0 like = Iif(Fields!Employee_YTD_Total.Value = 0 ,0,Fields!Employee_YTD_Total.Value) but still the report outputs is blank.
Issue/Query : Why it displays blank and I should have this as 0 in the report output to eliminate blank as this would be not appropriate to the end users to validate. What has to be changed either at the SSRS level or at the SQL level.
I am tryin to run an SSIS package from an Excel Spreadsheet to MS SQL Server 2005.
I receive the error: Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page (full report is below).
I found this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2562259&SiteID=1 and have set the destination column to nvarchar(max), and I have also set the TruncationRowDisposition = RD_IgnoreFailure on the destination column, with no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I have tried to extract data from Pervasive SQL into MS SQL Server using DTS. Due to the server has been set as Chinese language region, the MS SQL is also set as 'Chines_PRC_CI_AS' by default. After the successful extraction and transfer, I have exported the data out to Excel format. Due to different location, I have copy and transfer the data into another reporting server which is having MS SQL 2005.
When trying to import the data into the server, it prompted an error '[Data Conversion 1 [168]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "DESC" (166) to column "Copy of DESC" (187). The conversion returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". '. After checking and finding, I found it was due to the chinese characters that are contained inside the data files.
I have tried to change the collation setting inside MS SQL 2005 with the same setting as the MS SQL 2000, but it still not working. Please help and advice.
I'm trying to import data in Excel into SQL Server table which you would think would be an absolute doddle seeing as they're both key Microsoft products in the BI family..One of the columns in Excel spreadsheet is Comments1 and a couple of the values in this column are over 300 characters in length yet when I set up the Excel source and then open Advanced Editor and look at Input and output properties this column has a data-type of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255 which leads to the truncated error in the title.
I've researched this and on find going into the registry and updating the TypeGuessRows value from 8 to zero. I've done this and yet the data-type is still showing as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255. I've even moved the row with the largest number of characters to the top of the spreadsheet and changed the TypeGuessRows value to 1 but the data-type still stays the same.I can't believe that it's soooo difficult to import data from one of Microsoft's key BI applications to another using their 'world-class' integration tool.
Issue: SQL Server 2005 Management Studio displays the old filename in the tab at top if you open a .sql file and then do "file save as". I have upgraded to SP2 in hopes that this behavior would be corrected but to no avail.
We have 2 users accessing exactly the same reports/data but who are getting different numbers of pages printed.
The report viewer displays 12 pages of data; when one user selects Print preview they get 12 pages displayed and 12 pages print. When the other user displays exactly the same 12 pages of report data and preview it, they get 24 pages, with the last column apparently spilling on to a second page. I realise that physical pagination is controlled by the print control and is unrelated to the HTML rendering, but the users have the same printer selected and the print-preview shows the margins set to the same size. What else can be causing the difference?
We are using RS 2000, SP2. TIA for any assistance with this.
I've got a new server with Pentium4 xeon processors. I've used sp_who2for quite a while on my old server -- to look at CPU and IO usage. Onthe new server, the CPU times are huge -- although actual performanceis quite good. I know sp_who2 is an undocumented proc. Has anyoneexperienced this or is it just me?

Hello, I'm using SQL service Broker 2005 with ASP.NET 2.0 in order to use the sql cache dependency. everything works fine... I have only a doubt regarding a query that is constantly executed on mu db ( i can see it be means of the SQL Profiler)
The query is: exec sp_executesql N'BEGIN CONVERSATION TIMER ("'') TIMEOUT = 120; WAITFOR(RECEIVE TOP (1) message_type_name, conversation_handle, cast(message_body AS XML) as message_body from [SqlQueryNotificationService-GUID]), TIMEOUT @p2;',N'@p2 int',@p2=60000

I need to create a basic report that displays the userid, username, email, status and need to update the status column to enabled when we select any particular username. And the username parameter comes from the available users from the database. How to do this?
Do I need to mention the where clause where username=@username in the query or we don't need any
Also I need to get the available distinct usernames from the database while entering the parameter username
/*DECLARE variables to use IN queries*/ DECLARE @intErrorCode INT DECLARE @ErrorMessage VARCHAR(MAX) DECLARE @UserID INT SET @ErrorMessage = 'Completed.' SELECT [userid] ,
[code].....
Basically first I need to find the userid, username, accountstatus, email for a given particular user. Then I need to update the accountstatus to enabled for that selected user.
Also I need to create auditing that from before update and after update the accountstatus.
In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message. How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
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?
When saving a report in Report Builder the default users folder is displayed when save is first clicked. However the user can navigate to any folder from the root on down. Is there anyway to only allow the user to access their "My Report" folder and not navigate to other folders?

Hi, Does anyone have a workaround or know of a fix to this problem: Default value set to 'date pick' from date currently within field by setting value equal to that field . ie if date is 01/01/2010 date picker opens in Jan 2010 - works ok. However, once published to Sharepoint and run through browser the Date Picker ignores the default value and the date picker opens for today. ie April 2008.
Hi I have an SP, which queries a table and correspondingly outputs an ntext column. Before executing this SP. I used "save results as " option under Query analyzer tool bar. So that, when ever i execute this SP I can store the value under a file. The query is executing fine , but it is truncating the output of this ntext value. Does any body knowsfaced this issue? Iam using sql 2000 Thanks! Santhosh

Recently we've upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000. We use a Database Maintenance Plans to backup the databases and transaction logs. Everything seems to be working, but I’m getting an error message in the event viewer that has been described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 818202 "PRB: A'Database log truncated" Error is logged in the Event Log When you try to Backup the Transaction Log. The article describes the cause of this warning, but does not give any fix or some kind of work around. Does anybody knows what to do or may be had this problem before? Please help. Thanks a lot.
say if I am doing an simple insert (50 million records) with union all into a table.... when i check it while the query is running I see some records inserted.... however, at the end i have no data... table gets truncated. Is it so because I was out of space (I checked the drives and seems like data drive is running out of space).
I am relatively new to SQL server. I am tring to send some decimalvalues to the database using a stored procedure with parameters of typeDECIMAL. Every time it inserts the values into the database thedecimals are truncated. I saw on the MSDN library that you have to setthe precision and scale values b/f you run the stored procedure. So Iset the precision to 8 and the scale to 4 and it still didn't help. Cananyone help me?

Hi,I am trying to generate an XML output form the database. I amexecutingselect * from Request_vw for xml autoThe output data is being truncated. is there a limit on the outputresult of an XML query?Thanks
I'm a newbie to Transact-SQL so I apologize if this is a stupid question. Whenever I try to divide two variables of type int, I get a result where the decimal part is truncated. Here is an example:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[DIVIDE_TEST]
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE
@VAR1 int,
@VAR2 int,
@MYRESULT dec(10,5)
SELECT @VAR1 = 10
SELECT @VAR2 = 3
SELECT @MYRESULT = (@VAR1/@VAR2)
SELECT @MYRESULT
-- @MYRESULT has decimal part truncated, Returned value = 3.00000
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitText](@input [nvarchar](max), @strDelimiter [nvarchar](10)) ....
But it is still being truncated to 8000 characters. I tried using a sqlstring or using ([SqlFacet(MaxSize = -1,IsFixedLength=false)] on the parameter and a bunch of other things, but it is still truncated to 8000.
I'm using SQL Server 2005. I have stored procedure that selects a bunch of data from different tables and returns the results using the FOR XML clause. The problem is when I'm loading the XML, I notice that after a little over 2,000 characters, the XML string is getting truncated and thus I can't load it into an XmlDocument object. I'm also using the Microsoft Enterprise Library data access block, if that makes any difference. Here's the code:
I have a standard asp.net form and a single database table that I’m trying to pass data into. There are three nvarchar fields of lengths 50, 150, and 2400. Whenever I do an insert or update it truncates all data except for the first character. So if I pass “asdfasdf�, the db field will only receive “a�.
The data going from the form is correct; it gets truncated somewhere after the ExecuteNonQuery() call.

Hi, I have hit a brick wall with this. My code is as below
public void fillCustomer() { string connectionString = "server='local'; trusted_connection= true; integrated security=sspi; database='Mrbob'"; System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection dbConnection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString); string queryString = "SELECT * FROM [Customer] WHERE ([CustomerID] = @CustomerID)"; System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand dbCommand= new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(); dbCommand.CommandText = queryString; dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection; System.Data.IDataParameter param_CustomerID = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter(); param_CustomerID.ParameterName ="@CustomerID"; param_CustomerID.Value = customerID;dbCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.Int); dbCommand.Connection.Open(); System.Data.IDataReader dataReader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader(); dbCommand.Connection.Close(); while(dataReader.Read()) { customerID = dataReader.GetInt32(0); date = dataReader.GetDateTime(1); eposCode = dataReader.GetInt32(2); } dataReader.Close();
}
The error I am getting is
Prepared statement '(@CustomerID int)SELECT * FROM [Customer] WHERE ([CustomerID] = ' expects parameter @CustomerID, which was not supplied.
As you can see from my queryString the @CustomerID parameter is passed in. It seems as if the string is being truncated at 64 characters long. If I remove the paramter to pass the relevant infomration and pass in a customerID I know exists it works.
I am really stumped on this and would really appreciate any pointers
Hi! When I run a select statement, it would retrieve a product description. In some rows, it is long. Consequently, the product description was truncated. Did anybody have resulotion for this issue?
