Unable To Retrieve Data When Using Greek Characters In Statement
Apr 26, 2007
Hi,
I'm trying to do retrieve some data from a table where the content is
in Greek, however, the
query is not working. It's a very simple statement, but I'm missing
something.
Here is the table...
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].
[REPORT_LOCALE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]
GO
The first statment shows me a number of rows. I copied the content of
the Text_Name column and paste
it into QA to form the second statement. However, the second statement
returns no data.
SELECT * FROM Report_Locale
SELECT * FROM Report_Locale WHERE Text_Name = 'Λογ.Διαχ. – Τ?.-*?ουπ.-
Διαφ.'
Hopefully the Greek characters will display properly within this post,
but the idea is basically to take the Greek text and build that into a
query. I can do the remainder later once I understand why this does
not work as I expect. I realise my expectation is based on doing
things in English so I need to understand the differences. We've done
this for various other languages using other character sets, which is
why I am puzzled.
I have a sql db with a table in which I store Greek text. I have changed the collation name of the columns which keep the Greek to "Greek_AI_AS" and the datatype of these columns are nvarchar or ntext.
However whenever I tried to add text from a web form the Greek characters does not show correctly and I get "?????".
The collation name of the sql db is Latin1_Generala_CP1_CI_AS. Do u think there is a collation conflict or the column collation overides the db one? Or there is something else which I don't know?
P.S. I have set the correct Codepage and response.CharSet for Greek language.
I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2003 (regional settings . Server collation is Greek_CI_AS and database collation is Greek_CI_AS. I am using an external application which stores data to this database and I am able to write Greek characters in a field but after i save the record this text is transformed to many ???????. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance
Hi there,I have a strange problem with an application running on Windows 2000connecting to a SQL Server 2000 with Greek collation.Runnin this query on the SQL"SELECT serverproperty('Collation'),databasepropertyex('mydb', 'Collation')"gives me:SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, Greek_CI_AIWhen I run my application on my Windows XP machine I have no problemswith the characters however when I try the same applicaton on aWindows 2000 platform the Greek characters are lost. For example theGreek characters TI appear as OE.Any help is appreciated,regardsBOB
I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.
let's say I have a table named "myTable" in a SQL database:
UniqueID FirstName FamilyName
1 Elizabeth Moore
2 Chris Lee
2 Robert McDonald's
I want to create a SQL query should contain a parameter for example: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE UniqueID = @TextBox OR FirstName = @TextBox OR FamilyName = @TextBox,
and when I type in my TextBox the ' * ' character, it should retrieve the whole table...
hope anybody understood, will be happy to explain more.
used enteprise manager to retrieve a group of data from one of our files. We have id set and need to bring these key fields back online for application to work. Help !!!..
we tried a demo software called apexsql to assist in the restore, however this does not update the files one by one..
I'm trying to figure this out I have a store procedure that return the userId if a user exists in my table, return 0 otherwise ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create Procedure spUpdatePasswordByUserId @userName varchar(20), @password varchar(20) AS Begin Declare @userId int Select @userId = (Select userId from userInfo Where userName = @userName and password = @password) if (@userId > 0) return @userId else return 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ I create a function called UpdatePasswordByUserId in my dataset with the above stored procedure that returns a scalar value. When I preview the data from the table adapter in my dataset, it spits out the right value. But when I call this UpdatepasswordByUserId from an asp.net page, it returns null/blank/0 passport.UserInfoTableAdapters oUserInfo = new UserInfoTableAdapters(); Response.Write("userId: " + oUserInfo.UpdatePasswordByUserId(txtUserName.text, txtPassword.text) ); Do you guys have any idea why?
I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and destination in this scenario.
In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work. Thats not working for me in SSIS.
The error message that comes while I preview the source data:
Error:
"The Preview sample contains embedded text qualifiers. The flat file parser doesnot support embedding text qualifiers in data. Parsing columns that contain data with text qualifiers will fail at runtime"
Is there any alternative to remove these text qualifiers from the file. Do we have any utility that can convert these files into text qualifier free CSV file?
I am new to SQL but have managed to create a table with five columns. The problem I am having is when I try and run the INSERT command I get an error "Maximum characters exceeded in SQL statement"
My table code is:
create table myemployees_MPA0510 (FirstName Varchar (15), LastName varchar (20), Title varchar (25), Age number (3), salary number (9));
Is there any way to retrieve partial contents of a database column? For example, say a column holds 5,000 characters, but I only wish to retrieve the first 50. Thanks
I am trying to setup custom forms authentication in Reporting Services.
I have followed the UFAIRS sample. I have the site running, reporting services running, and I have a page where I can input my login information.
I can debug the code- and I get to this section of code:
Protected Overrides Function GetWebResponse(ByVal request As WebRequest) As WebResponse
Dim response As WebResponse = MyBase.GetWebResponse(request)
Dim cookieName As String = response.Headers("RSAuthenticationHeader")
' If the response contains an auth header, store the cookie
If Not (cookieName Is Nothing) Then
Utilities.CustomAuthCookieName = cookieName
Dim webResponse As HttpWebResponse = CType(response, HttpWebResponse)
Dim authCookie As Cookie = webResponse.Cookies(cookieName)
' If the auth cookie is null, throw an exception
If authCookie Is Nothing Then
Throw New Exception("Authorization ticket not received by LogonUser")
End If
' otherwise save it for this request
Me.AuthCookie = authCookie
' and send it to the client
Utilities.RelayCookieToClient(authCookie)
End If
Return response
Notice the line: Dim cookieName As String = response.Headers("RSAuthenticationHeader")
Basically the cookie name is null after that, and therefore it processes no further and I never get a cookie and I can never authenticate. Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?
Also, this is on a test box, so I don't have SSL capabilities. Unless there is a way to "emulate" SSL, I pretty much don't know if this works without SSL, or if this is causing the problem. We have environments that use SSL, but I do not have access to it at the moment- I will have to do additional work to get that up and running.
We seem to be having junk characters within our SQL server 2005 database for data related to East Asian countries. However, if we are to manually mess around within Excel we will be able to decipher these characters.
Following is a sample:

Can you please let me know the best way of fixing this issue?
A trigger existed on the job steps table which captured any changes before and after. The insert table was limited changes to 4000 characters.
SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition (11.0.5058.0) on Windows Server 2008 R2
At some point a few months ago we encountered an issue where we hit a size limit of ~4000 characters on the amount of text we could enter into a Transact-SQL step of an Agent job. Attempting to create a job like this with sp_add_job will produce the error
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_add_jobstep_internal, Line 255 String or binary data would be truncated.
Adding the job step via SSMS yields
Alter failed for JobStep 'xxx'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) Additional information: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 8152)
I've checked sp_add_jobstep_internal, sp_add_jobstep and the sysjobsteps table and all references to the command field are nvarchar(max). We can run the same job creation code without error on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition machine and two SQL Server 2012 SP2 Developer Edition boxes. All our 2012 servers were fresh installs, not upgrades.
In my application on click of Delete button, actually I am not deleting the record. I am just updating the flag. But before updating the record I just want to know the dependency of the record ie. if the record I am deleting(internally updating) exists any where in the dependent tables, it should warn the user with message that it is available in the child table, so it can not be deleted. I want to check the dependency dynamically. For that I have written the following procedure. But it is updating in both cases.
CREATE proc SProc_DeleteRecord @TableName varchar(50), @DeleteCondition nVarchar(200) As Begin Begin Transaction Declare @DelString nvarchar(4000) set @DelString = 'Delete from ' + @TableName + ' where ' + @DeleteCondition execute sp_executeSql @DelString RollBack Transaction --because i donot want to delete the record in any case If @@Error <> 0 Begin select '1' End Else Begin Declare @SQLString nvarchar(4000) set @SQLString = 'Update ' + @TableName + ' set DeletedFlag=1 where ' + @DeleteCondition execute sp_executeSql @SQLString select '0' End

Hello, I am getting very frustrated! I have got a Foreach loop container which I am processing files within a folder. I have a flatfile connection manager which I have set up using a test file and have updated the expressions attribute to be the package variable I set up in the collection for the loop container however everytime I run it I get the error: 0xC0202094 cannot retrieve the column information from the flatfile connection manager. I can only guess that it is either the variable being passed to the connection manager or the way I set up the connection manager. When I msgbox the variable in a script component before the dataflow step, the variable for the file seems fine. Any suggestions are REALLY appreciated.
I've developed a package that is working well at development machine from VS 2013 for a sample flat file. Also, over development machine, I've deployed it to SSISDB catalogue and even from there also it is running well for the same file.When the same package is deployed to production server's SSISDB catalogue database, it throws following error while processing the same sample flat file, “Unable to retrieve column information from the flat file connection manager”

Got a tough one here for you SQL junkies.I'm working on a website (in ASP) for a national greek/collegeorganization. All it's college chapters have greek chapter names,i.e. Alpha Chapter, Delta Chapter, Delta Iota Chapter, Gamma PhiChapter, ect. ect.I need the SQL to return the chapters in greek alphabet ordering. Seebelow:1. Alpha2. Beta3. Gamma4. Delta5. Epsilon6. Zeta7. Eta8. Theta9. Iota10. Kappa11. Lambda12. Mu13. Nu14. Xi15. Omicron16. Pi17. Rho18. Sigma19. Tau20. Upsilon21. Phi22. Chi23. Psi24. OmegaBasically I need a way to specify this type of presedence for wordingand keep all the results in greek-letter order, so Sigma Upsilon comesbefore Sigma Tau, and so on.Also, to make it even more difficult, these are written words, not theactual greek symbols like α β etc. Everything is stored inthe DB as Alpha Beta Whateva Chapter.Hopefully some of you SQL junkies will be able to help on this one ;)
I've got a tricky one. I'm trying to do a SELECT statement to return all of our email fields that include the Newline character, or Char(13). I've tried all of the following with no result:
WHERE Email like "%Char(13)%" WHERE charindex(Char(13), @Email) > 0 WHERE patindex(@NewLine, @Email) > 0
Select statement. In my database i am using the employee table. I need my first column to display your full name is 99 characters. so like if the employee is john smith it would display Your Full Name Is 9 characters (including the space).
hi All :I have an insert statement which readsINSERT Into TableA (Col1)SELECT CASE WHEN Col1 LIKE '%[a-z]%' THEN 999999 ELSE Col1 END ASCol1,FROM TableB**********************TableA.
