Truncation Of Characters In A Query Result

Aug 31, 1999

Hi!
The product description table contains a field,
long_desc varchar(8000). Is there any way to get the entire description? The query, 'select long_desc from product_desc' always truncates characters more than 255 characters long. Even exporting the data to an Excel spreadsheet using DTS does the same thing.

Thank you

Truncation On Select Statements At 255 Characters

May 28, 1999

I beleive we need a new patch with our SQL 7 but I'm not sure. My ODBC INSERT works fine because the Db has the entire text entry. When I try the select it returns only 255 characters.

Any insights?
Thanks.

OPENROWSET And OPENDATASOURCE Truncation To 255 Characters

Dec 21, 2004

I have the following T-SQL commands which run without errors:

select Description_Text
from OpenRowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};
DefaultDir=D:Import;','select * from company_finance.csv')

select Description_Text
from OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=D:Import;Extended Properties="Text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"')...company_finance#csv

When I run either command on our TEST server, all the text in the fields retrieved is returned, but when I run on our PRODUCTION server, all fields are truncated to 255 characters. The source file company_finance.csv is identical on both servers. Both servers have the same O/S (Win 2K Server), same version of SQL Server 2000 and MDAC (2.71). I cannot figure out if the problem is on the SQL Server side, or has something to do with some registry settings or something else, but both the Text Driver and the Jet drivers produce the similar results on each servers. Are there some config settings in SQL Server or in the registry I can look at to determine why the truncation is occurring? Help!

Thanks for your time.

Data Truncation Does Not Trigger Truncation Error - Why?

Jun 27, 2007

Hi,



I have a data file that has numeric data that looks like:



1.123456



And this column is defined as a DT_NUMERIC(18.6) in the flat file conn mgr.



As an experiment, I changed the destination column to a NUMERIC(18,0) - hoping that this would throw a truncation error at the flat file task level (where I have Truncation on all columns set to "fail component").



Not a peep. It loaded the data into the table, chopping off the 6 digits after the decimal point.



You would THINK that this would cause an error, but no. Why is this? The flat file task complains about all kinds of things, but this is such a gross error, you would think it would catch it!



Thanks

End Result Is Main Query Results Ordered By Nested Result

May 1, 2008

As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC.
Tables I have are structured as follows:

SHOWS
showID
showTitle

SHOWACCESS
showID
remoteID

VIDEOS
videoDate
showID

SQL is as follows:

SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle,
(SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID)
FROM shows, showAccess
WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID
AND showAccess.remoteID=21
ORDER BY vidDate DESC;

I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate.
Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?

thanks

Why i use @qstring? It is because the query will be changed by different critiera.

SP To Perform Query Based On Multiple Rows From Another Query's Result Set

Nov 7, 2007

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w.  one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included)         INSERT INTO @users             SELECT u.userName,u.userID                 FROM  tableU u                LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID                WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is:             SELECT u.userName,u.userID
                FROM  tableU u
                LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID
                WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!

Re-display Result Set Without Re-running Query In Query Analyzer?

Apr 9, 2006

I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.

Transact SQL :: SELECT On Column Name From Query Result Set In Same Query?

May 9, 2015

I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).

To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:

COLUMN_NAME Value
----------- -----
colB        123
colA        XYZ

I've tried dynamic SQL to no success, probably not executing the concept correctly...

Below is what I have:

CREATE TABLE myTable (colA VARCHAR(3), colB VARCHAR(3), colC VARCHAR(3))
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('ABC', '123', '0X')
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('XYZ', '789', 'X0')
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT CAST(PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC) AS SMALLINT) pos, STUFF(colC, 1, PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC), '') colC

[Code] ....

On the bills that our system generates there is a comments field that users fillout. We have occasional problems with special characters in the text messing up the validation code. Does anyone know of a query that can identify special characters in a text field? Like carriage returns, tabs, etc.?

SQL Query Help - Accented Characters

Oct 10, 2007

Hello, I am trying to filter out any accented characters from a field in a select statement. I want to keep the accented version in the database, but have it convert when exporting.
Here is a sample of the php code that I used to use to accomplish this...

Code:


$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[àâäåãáÂÄÀÅÃÁæÆ]", "a", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[çÇ]", "c", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[éèêëÉÊËÈ]", "e", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[ïîìíÏÎÌÍ]", "i", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[ñÑ]", "n", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[öôóòõÓÔÖÒÕ]", "o", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[ùûüúÜÛÙÚ]", "u", $shipfirstname);
$shipfirstname = ereg_replace("[ÿ]", "y", $shipfirstname);


So far, I have this sql code, but I will have to use a number of nested REPLACE statements to accomplish the same thing.

Code:

(SELECT REPLACE(ShipFirstName, 'à', 'a'))AS ShipFirstName,



Does anyone know an easier way to filter out these characters?

MDX Query Above 8000 Characters

May 23, 2006

Hi,

I have a MDX query which is of an aprox length of 10000 characters. I
have to execute the query from within the stored procedure in sql. To
run this query I use the openrowset method.

If the length of my query is less than 8000 characters my query
executes perfectly, but the moment it exceeds 8000 characters it stop
working. Please suggest a solution for the same.

Sample Code:

declare @mdxqry varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)

set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '

set @mdxqry = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
' +
'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '

set @mdxqry = @mdxqry +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''

set @mdxqry = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'

exec(@mdxqry)

I have already tried splitting my query into smalled chunks and
executing it, but still I face the same problem.

This is how I have Done it:

declare @mdxqry1 varchar(8000)
declare @mdxqry2 varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)

set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '

set @mdxqry1 = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
'

set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '

set @mdxqry2 = @mdxqry2 +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''

set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'

exec(@mdxqry1 + @mdxqry2)

Thanks in Advance

Return Result From One Query As A Column In Other Query

Jun 3, 2004

I'm having a bit of a trouble explaining what I'm trying to do here.

I have 3 "source" tables and a "connecting" table that I'm going to use

tblContacts - with contactID, ContactName etc
tblGroups - with GroupID, GroupName
tblSubGroups - with SubGroupID, GroupID and SubGroupName (groupID is the ID for the parent Group from tblGroups)

They are related in a table called
tblContactsGroupConnection - with ContactID, GroupID and SubGroupID

One contact can be related to many subgroups.
What I want is a list of all contacts, with their IDs, names and what groups they are related to:

ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName1, SubGroupName2, SubGroupName3]
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName1, SubGroupName3]
ContactID, ContactName, [SubGroupName3]

I'm sure there's a simple solution to this, but I can't find it. Any help appreciated. :)

Query/select The First 10 Characters In A Field

Jul 25, 2007

I'm comparing two tables and need to compare the first 8 characters of one field in table A to the first 8 characters in another field in table B.

So instead of where 'John Smith' = 'John Smith' it would compare where 'John Smi' = 'John Smi'


I know I've done this before but can't find a good reference.

It's something like this when calling a query within a WHILE loop:

SELECT * FROM blah WHERE FID = '".$row['FID']."' AND LEFT('TRACK', 8) = LEFT('".$row['TRACK']."',8)


Am I close? Any help would be appreciated.

Replace Invalid XML Characters Using SQL Query

Apr 21, 2008



Hi,
I am populating a dataset in .net with output from sql 2005 database. One of the columns in the table is a 'varchar(max)' type. This dataset is then converted to XML using WriteXml and written to a .xml document. But due to the presence of invalid characters, this process errors out.
Is there any way using which these invalid characters can be replaced at the database level itself when querying on the table?
The error that is produced is as follows:
'', hexadecimal value 0x1C, is an invalid character. Line 32201, position 924.

Thanks,

select * from [dbo].[User] where LastName like '%HekimoÄŸlu%'

It doesn't retrieves anything.  I've googled for while in a hope to find some solution quickly, but to my surprise I couldn't. how to query string columns that include international characters such as above.I am using SQL Server 2012, Nvarchar(100) for column.

Handling Wildcard Characters In Query String

Nov 11, 2005

Hi

First interaction to the forum.
My Query is :

I had a User Management module in my application where I created a user with name

`~!@#$@%^&*()[_]+|}{":?><-=[[]];',./

Now I have a functionality to search for the user existing. For that give the search string or a single character and it finds out all the records containing the character.

How do I go about it as the SP i created for it gives correct results except the following

1. Search for % - Gives all record
2. Search for _ - Gives all records
3. Search for [ - Gives NO record
4. Search for the whole string - Gives NO Record

I handeled a few issues

1. replaced [ by [[]
2. replaced _ by [_]

So issues 2 & 3 are resolved.

Tried replacing % by [%] but did not work


Could someone plz help

Thanks in advance

Query To Identify Fields With Special Characters?

Aug 6, 2012

Basically, I'm trying to upload data from one system to another and the system which is receiving data is throwing error after loading few records. On further investigation I found out that the failing records has bad characters embedded. I was wondering if there is way to find out all the bad characters (special characters) in a table. I'm using MSSQL Server 2005 version. Tried using RegGenExpression but no luck.

SELECT Query Involving Non-English Characters

Apr 8, 2008



Hello friends,

I am inserting non-english strings into my database table from my java program.



Code Snippet
sql = "insert into static_string1 values (?)";
PreparedStatement statement=connection.prepareStatement(sql);
statement.setString(1,statString);




where, statString is a string variable containing Hebrew characters.

Till here, my code works fine. i.e, Hebrew characters are properly inserted to the database.
The problem is when I try to retrieve the String_Id based upon the statString I inserted to the table static_string1.




Code Snippet
String sql = "select String_Id from Static_String1 where String like ('" + statString +"')";
Statement statement=connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=statement.executeQuery(sql);
rs.next();
int stringId=rs.getInt("String_Id");


I tried hardcoding the string in the query and to execute it from the SQL Server Management Studio as below



Code Snippetselect String_Id from Static_String1 where String like( ' ×”×–×—' );



But even this is returning null rows, even though the entry is present in the table Please help me out asap.


Please pardon me if this is not the right section to post my doubt. I didnt find any other relevant section here.

Increasing The Number Of Characters Displayed In Query Analyzer

Feb 26, 2001

Hi,

I am using SQL Server 7.0.

I have a table with one column defined as Varchar(8000).

The table is populated with rows..

However when I do a Select * from the the Table in query analyzer I only see about 200 Characters even though each column has 8000 characters.

How can I increase the number of characters that are diplayed in the Query Analyzer?

Thankx

SQL Limit Of Demilted Pipe Characters Passed As Parameter To Sql Query

Nov 16, 2004

I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.



===========Earlier post==================
This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry.
In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields.
This is then passed to a sql query.

This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.


I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.


Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.

Regards,
MillenniumIte.

FROM
Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid
