I need to find a way to update a notes field that is ntext in a table with an update statement. The code will run as a SQL job. I though something like the following, but doesn't like it:
update dbo.myTable set notes = notes + ' addtional notes to append'
A sql server 2000 table contains a ntext field that needs to be updated. The update is replacing a particular string in the ntext field. I heard it's hard to do it in sql server 2000 itself. Can it be done easily in an SSIS? Please kindly provide example. Thanks.
i define a clumn like this: clumn name: Body data type: ntext then i run a store procedure which is defined as : create insert_artcle as ( @body ntext ) insert into article{body} values{@body} but the data get into the database is truncated to 8 charactors what is the problem? Is it has something to do with the ntext size 16?
Loading thousands of records to the DB through bulk insert. There's one field NText which I have left NULL because it will be hard to gen dummy flat file to it.
I have another table which has the Ntext Value which i will want to copy and duplicate to the other table.
what is the way to do it?
simply said i want to update a record with NULL value from one table with NText field with the value from another table..

I've got a table that I have to update in preparation for our environment move (2k to 2005 SP2). The developers that designed the application created a table called schemas, which holds the contents of an XML file inside of an ntext field named Data.I need to parse through the field and do a find/replace to replace all instances of www.site.com with www7.site.com. It's all over the place in the file. The problem is, that the datalength() of each of the fields (there are 2 rows) are above 15000.normally, I'd run something like this:update schemas set data=replace (cast(Data as varchar(max)),'www.site.com','www7.site.com') where data like '%www.site.com%'Smaller columns it works great - but it won't work on these because they're too big (the update will chop anything beyond the varchar(max) value). I could do it manually, but this DB will be refreshed from production on a weekly basis and I'd like to script as many of the environment changes to the DB as much as possible. Any ideas?
SQL Server 2000 : I have a series of tables which all have the samestructure. When any of these tables are modified I need to syncrhoniseall of those modifications with one other table wich is a sort of mergeof the individual tables with one extra column.For most of these tables this is not a problem. The problem arriveswhen one of the tables has an ntext column which obviously can not beused in an update or insert trigger.Here's an example of one of them:CREATE TABLE tblImages(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,Inventory nvarchar(8) NOT NULL,Coll nvarchar(8) NOT NULL,ImageFile nvarchar(128) NOT NULL,ImageNotes ntext NULL,TS timestamp NULLCONSTRAINT U_Images UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED (ItemCode, Inventory, Coll,ImageFile)I then had created an update trigger which looked like this:CREATE TRIGGER COLLNAME_UTRIGGER ON COLLNAME_ImagesFOR UPDATEASBEGINUPDATE tblImages SETInventory = inserted.Inventory,Coll = 'COLLNAME',ImageFile = inserted.ImageFileName,FROM inserted INNER JOIN tblImages ON inserted.ItemCode =tblImages.ItemCode ANDinserted.Invventory = tblImages.Invventory AND tblImages.Coll ='COLLNAME' ANDinserted.ImageFileName = tblImages.ImageFileUPDATE tblImagesSET ImageNotes=inserted.NotesFROM inserted INNER JOIN tblImages ON inserted.ItemCode =tblImages.ItemCode ANDinserted.Inventory= tblImages.Inventory AND tblImages.Coll ='COLLNAME' ANDinserted.ImageFileName = tblImages.ImageFileEND " & vbCrLf)The first update in my trigger, be it an update or insert trigger,works fine. It crashes with the "Cannot use text, ntext or imagecolumns in the 'inserted' or 'deleted' tables." error in the secondpart.I have read various messages through the Internet on this and severalof them reference using INSTEAD OF triggers and views. I have neverused those before as this is my first work with SQL 2000. None of theexamples of INSTEAD OF triggers I have seen yet use the actual insertedtables and I haven't quite understood how to use them correctly.Can someone help me with the basic syntax as this trigger is one ofseveral that I am going to have to get working.Thank you in advance for any help, assistance, suggestions or"direction pointing" you may provide.
Hi, I've been reading all sorts of info on the ntext field. I needthis to store xml documents in sql server via a stored proc.Because of its size, I apparently can not use SET (as in UPDATE)therefore I'm trying to do an INSERT of the row with this field (afterdeleting the old row).CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateXmlWF(@varWO varchar(50)@strWF ntext@varCust varchar(50)@varAssy varchar(50))ASINSERT INTO tblWorkOrders (WorkOrder, Customer, Assy, xmlWF) VALUES(@varWO, @varCust, @varAssy, @strWF)I'm using MSDE so I can't tell what's wrong...it just won't save theproc.PLEASE HELP!Thanks, Kathy
I want to retrieve data from SQL containing non English character but fail, can anyone shed me some light?
What I use currently:
Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "SELECT ArticleID, " strSQL &= "ISNULL(Body, '') AS Body, " strSQL &= "ISNULL(Subject, '') AS Subject " strSQL &= "FROM Articles " strSQL &= "WHERE (Subject LIKE N'%' + @Keyword + '%' OR [Body] LIKE N'%' + @Keyword + '%') " Dim con As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")) Dim cmd As New SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, con) cmd.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@Keyword", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = keyword ...
I'm not so sure where should I place the letter "N", I use :
SELECT ArticleID, ISNULL(Body, '') AS Body, ISNULL(Subject, '') AS Subject, FROM Articles WHERE (Subject LIKE N'%SomeNonEnglishString%' OR [Body] LIKE N'%SomeNonEnglishString%')
in Query Analzyer, it works! But it failed in my program... oh my god...
Hi, I've read conflicting articles on updating an ntext field in acolumn.My ntext field will exceed 8,000 characters (typically twice that size-- but just a text string).One article (I think from MicroSoft) said you could NOT use ntext inan UPDATE statement, but I've seen examples from other people usingit...but don't know if it's related to the size/characters issue.Is this true or not?Thanks very much...Kathy

I am running this query to an sql server 2000 database from my aspcode:"select * from MyTable whereMySqlServerRemoveStressFunction(MyNtextColumn) = '" &MyAdoRemoveStressFunction(MyString) & "'"The problem is that the replace function doesn't work with the ntextdatatype (so as to replace the stresses with an empty string). I hadto implement the MySqlServerRemoveStressFunction, i.e. a function thattakes a column name as a parameter and returns the text contained inthis column having replaced some letters of the text (the letters withstress). Unfortunately, I could not do that because user-definedfunctions cannot return a value of ntext.So I have the following idea:"select * from MyTable whereCheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStesses(MyNtextColum n, '" & MyString &"')"How can I implement the CheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStessesfunction? (I don't know how to combine these functions to do what Iwant: TEXTPTR, UPDATETEXT, WRITETEXT, READTEXT)
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
When I enter over 4000 chars in any ntext field in my SQL Server 2005 database (directly in the database and through the application) I get an error saying that the data could not be updated because string or binary data would be truncated.Has anyone ever seen this? I cannot figure out what is causing it, ntext should be able to hold a lot more data that this...
i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause
the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]
i was thinking of doing
Update [tablename] SET [No] = CASE WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa' ELSE 'Null' END

It appears to update only the first qualifying row. The trace shows a row count of one when there are multiple qualifying rows in the table. This problem does not exist in JDBC 2000.
I'm writing a fairly involved stored procedure. In this Stored Procedure, I have an update statement, followed by a select statement. The results of the select statement should be effected by the previous update statement, but its not. When the stored procedure is finish, the update statement seemed to have worked though, so it is working.
I suspect I need something, like a GO statement, but that doesnt seem to work for a stored procedure. Can anyone offer some assistance?
I run the following statement and it will not update beyond 7 million plus rows and I have about 38 million to complete. I keep checking updated row counts and after 1/2 day it's still the same so I know something is wrong because it was rolling through no problem when I initiated it. I need to complete ASAP so it's adding to my frustration. The 'Acct_Num_CH' field is an encrypted field (fyi).
SET rowcount 10000 UPDATE [dbo].[CC_Info_T] SET [Acct_Num_CH] = 'ayIWt6C8sgimC6t61EJ9d8BB3+bfIZ8v' WHERE [Acct_Num_CH] IS NOT NULL WHILE @@ROWCOUNT > 0 BEGIN SET rowcount 10000 UPDATE [dbo].[CC_Info_T] SET [Acct_Num_CH] = 'ayIWt6C8sgimC6t61EJ9d8BB3+bfIZ8v' WHERE [Acct_Num_CH] IS NOT NULL END SET rowcount 0

I need to set a column value where the id is within a string. However, I need to set the column to a default value if the id is not within the string. Hope that was easy to understand!
ie:
This currently works...
SET @strSQL = 'UPDATE tblTest SET Archive = 1 WHERE RecID IN (' + @IDList + ')
If the ID is not in the list then I want that column set to 0. How can I do this?
Hi I use a update sub, the problem is that i got an error, the error is: Syntax error in UPDATE statement. I guess the UPDATE statement is: strUpdate = "Update tblUsers Set UserName=@UserName, Password=@Password, RetypePassword=@RetypePassword, Email=@Email, Comments=@Comments Where UserID=@UserID"
Remark:I use Acceess DataBase, exactly the same code works fine in SQL, i just changed the DataBase(From Access to SQL).
Is the problem can be in other place? Thank you very much for your assistance.
Hi, I'm having trouble writing this update statement and was wondering if anyone could help me out :
My database is sort of set up lilke this: There are 3 tables: Orders, OrderDetails and Inventory
Orders has a pk called OrderID. OD has several ProductIDs listed for that OrderID Inventory has 2 fields, the pk InventoryID(which is the same as ProductID) and QOH
So OD kinda looks like this: OrderID ProductID Quantity Cost 192 12 2 $10 192 3 1 $12 192 14 2 $50 193 12 1 $11 .... . ... ...
so what i want to do is take each productID for a specific orderid and decrement the inventory for it by OD.quantity
This is what I was trying
UPDATE Inventory Set QOH = QOH - @qty WHERE Inventory.InventoryID IN ( SELECT ProductID FROM OrderDetails WHERE OrderDetails.OrderID = @OrderID and @qty = OrderDetails.Quantity )
I am a SQL Novice - I have a table called 'users' in which I need to modify the user's email id e.g., from seanu@hotmail.com to seanu@yahoo.com and I have over 150 rows where I should be changing 'domain' name only..
Any help with an Update Statement is highly appreciated..
