Hi all,
I have the following weird situation.
I must update a "text" column in my mssql db with a string that is more than 10000 character long.
I know that "text" is able to store up to 2Gbyte of data, but what is happening?
that when i excecute the query (in PHP, using the odbc_exec function), my poor Apache got stuck!!!
and afterwards, i am not even able to access that field (i mean Apache go nut again).
Have you ever experienced somthing like that? Any suggestion?
This is simple enough and I'm stumped. Why doesn't this work?
Code Snippet use w go -- Create image warehouse create table dbo.ImageWarehouse ( [ImageWarehouseID] int identity(1,1) primary key, [ImageName] varchar(100), Photo varbinary(max)) Go -- Import image Insert into dbo.ImageWarehouse ([ImageName]) values ('testingimage.gif') update dbo.ImageWarehouse set Photo = (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c: estingimage.gif', SINGLE_BLOB)AS x ) WHERE [ImageName]='testingimage.jpg' go -- Check population --delete from dbo.ImageWarehouse select * from dbo.ImageWarehouse go -- Export image declare @SQLcommand nvarchar(4000) set @SQLcommand = 'bcp "SELECT top 1 Photo FROM w.dbo.ImageWarehouse WHERE ImageName = ''testingimage.gif''" queryout "c: estingimage_out.gif" -T -N -S [my server name]' exec xp_cmdshell @SQLcommand go
But testingimage_out.gif is unreadable. It's the same size (28k) as the original trestingimage.gif. Same result with a .jpg file. Try to open the file and it's just red X.
No SQL errors. Just result error. What am I overlooking?
This is kind of a long story. I needed to copy a db from server "a" to server "b". I copied across our network, so SQL Server didn't know about the files. Then I wanted to use the device file(s) for the "new" db. So I created another directory with the same name and overlaid the empty device file with the one I copied from server a. Of course, when I opened EM it showed the db as "suspect". So I wanted to flip the status flag in sysdatabases to '0' so SQL server would think it was OK, and would make it available. But you also have to 'allow ad-hoc updates', which I did, but each time I stop and start sql server it stil shows the db as "suspect".
Here's the code :
update sysdatabases set status = 0 where name = 'RAS'
Does anyone out there know what I can do to fix this db? TIA! Bob S.
I have SQL 2005 on 64 bit cluster OS is Windows server 2003 SP2. We have full-text enabled on one table of the database. It has doc,xls,pdf and swf type of documents. Now full text works for word and excel docs but not for pdf files.
I searched online and found two commands to execute after installing Adobe 6.0 ifilter. I did it last week and then server was rebooted last weekend so it restarted all the services exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1
exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0
still pdf full text search is not working. Does this ifilter from Adobe works for 64 bit?
many errors as below are loged into the log file Informational: Full-text Full population initialized for table or indexed view '[dbname].[dbo].[tablename]' (table or indexed view ID '862626116', database ID '10').

I am able to perform full text searches if I inform SQL Server the file is a text file but when I set the correct type as a csv the file does not get indexed.
Also nocticed that I have two IFilters one that comes with SQL and the other with Office they have the same name and just the one that is on system32 handles CSV files, office files are processed correctly.
This are the IFilter locations: C:WINDOWSsystem32offfilt.dll C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4MSSQLBinnofffilt.dll
I have a valid CSV but when I run the FiltDump.exe command I get: C:Temp>FiltDump 1075555.csv FILE: 1075555.csv Error 0x80030050 loading IFilter
This is the type of error log I get from SQL Server: 2007-11-20 15:30:18.46 spid24s Warning: No appropriate filter was found during full-text index population for table or indexed view '[FileStorage].[dbo].[Document]' (table or indexed view ID '6', database ID '162099618'), full-text key value 0x00000002.

I have a conversion application which convertts an access database to an sql server(different versions). I'm using stored procedures. The thins is that I export the OLe Object form access to SQL varbinary. what I do is to convert the binary data from the OLE Object to string using ToBase64String. The thing is that when I execute the SQL statement I get the following error:
Error:Operand type clash: text is incompatible with varbinary.
Can anyone tell me what I do wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks.
hi everyone a question for all you wise men out there! ;-)
i run a db with thousands of reviews, interviews, article and so on. What's better: 1) leaving all the articles on .txt files and then using the file system object to show them in the page; 2) insert the articles in the db splitting them in several varchar fields 3) insert the articles in the db using the text/blob fields
I have a source DB that contains a BLOB which is really a bunch of text. I am trying to use SSIS to read this BLOB and stream the chars as text to a flat file which will later be FTP'ed to another server and reloaded as nvarchar records.
In my data flow task I have my source (SQL DB BLOB) and target (Flat File) of course...in between I am using a script component to try and convert the BLOB. Here is my code:
Dim intBlobLength As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Row.denoteblob.Length) Dim intFinish As Integer = intBlobLength - 1 Dim byteBlob(intFinish) As Byte byteBlob = Row.denoteblob.GetBlobData(0, intFinish)
We 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.
I'm pretty new to DTS, so forgive me if this is basic. I created a simple DTS package to run a query and export it to a text file. I can execute the package fine from my workstation through EM, but when I try to execute the job to run the package I get this error: Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: Error opening datafile: Access is denied.
I think that maybe SQL Agent doesn't have the right permissions to write to that network drive. What should the permissions be?
This is probably very simple, but I can't get passed this problem.
I have a report in MS Access that uses info generated by a query. One of the text fields in the query contains either the word 'Select' or the name of a course. The report should display a space if the value is 'Select', or the actual value of the field in any other case. The field can never contain a null value.
I've used: =IIf([optVoc1]="Select","",[optVoc1]) in the text box on the report, but this only returns #error regardless of the actual content of the field.
I create and schedule a SQL job to run every minute to update a table base on certain condition but it doesn't work. Job history says successful every time but the table doesn't get updated.
However if I move it to Query Analyzer and run it under dba, it will work. Thinking that it may have to do with the user the job run as, I then change run as user from self to dba. But still SQL job won't update my table.
Anything about user permission or security that I can check? Or it there any other possibility?
When I run the select its fine but I cannot delete..... i have done this many times and it has worked.... I cannot see the error what am i missing
select eqnow.empnumber, eqnow_names.empnumber, eqnow_names.names --delete from eqnow inner join eqnow_names on eqnow.empnumber = eqnow_names.empnumber where eqnow_names.names is null
i get this error Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'inner'.
When I try to install the problem I get the following error.
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
The log tells me nothing useful. I can't start the thing manually because after clicking cancel on the error message, the installer proceeds to roll back the installation.
i have a MSSQL 2000 database with about 30 tables in it. On one of those tables i've defined an full text index on an image field. In this table are around 500 records with binary files.
it functioned well for a time but now when i try to upload a file into the table this goes extremely slow (300 KB takes over 3 minutes).
i tried disabling "change tracking" but this didn't help a thing
adding blobs to other tables (without fulltext index on it) still goes fast.
what could be a reason that the uploading goes so slow??
This is the autogenerated code from the SelectCommand of my DataAdapter, except the red text. This DataAdapter is used to fill a DataGrid. What I want to do, is to calculate the total memory (4 slots) / PC.This code makes the sum of all memory of all PC's together.I'm not sure if the group by clause is needed here ...Me.OleDbSelectCommand1.CommandText = "SELECT PC.ID, PC.Nummer, PC.Netwerknaam, Case_Type.Type AS Case_Type, Processor_T" & _"ype.Type AS Processor_Type, Processor_Snelheid.Snelheid AS Processor_Snelheid, " & _"(SELECT SUM(Memory) FROM Memory, PC, RAM WHERE RAM.PcID = PC.ID AND RAM.GrootteID = Memory.ID)" & _"AS Memory, OS.Naam AS OS, OS_SP.Nummer AS OS_SP, Gebru" & _"iker.Naam AS Gebruiker_Naam, Status.Status, PC.Tagged FROM (Status RIGHT OUTER J" & _"OIN ((((((((PC LEFT OUTER JOIN (RAM LEFT OUTER JOIN Geheugen ON RAM.GrootteID = " & _"Geheugen.ID) ON PC.ID = RAM.PcID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Case_Type ON PC.Case_TypeID = " & _"Case_Type.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN OS_SP ON PC.OS_SpID = OS_SP.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Ge" & _"bruiker ON PC.GebruikersID = Gebruiker.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Processor_Snelheid ON" & _" PC.Processor_SnelheidID = Processor_Snelheid.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Processor_Type" & _" ON PC.Processor_TypeID = Processor_Type.ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN OS ON PC.OsID = OS." & _"ID) LEFT OUTER JOIN Switchbox_Details ON PC.ID = Switchbox_Details.PcID) ON Stat" & _"us.ID = PC.StatusID) GROUP BY PC.ID, PC.Nummer, PC.Netwerknaam, Case_Type.Type, " & _"Processor_Type.Type, Processor_Snelheid.Snelheid, OS.Naam, OS_" & _"SP.Nummer, Gebruiker.Naam, Status.Status, PC.Tagged"I would like to know how to calculate the total memory for each separate PC.Hope you can help me.
I try to copy a DB from one server to another. On the target server an older version of the DB has been deleted and I now try to attach the new version using "sp_attach_db DBname, Filelocation", but I always get an error "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'D:mssql7dataAgency_log.ldf' may be incorrect" "Database 'Agency' cannot be Created"
To me it seems that the database is looking for the log files (now deleted). I've tried forcing a new log file I created using the same locations for the mdfs. I've tried using create a new database and replace the mdf file, but nothing works.
I wanted to create a new trigger, but Enterprise Manager tells me about an "Incorrect syntax near @UpdatedByID, line 28". I double-checked everything, but it still does not work :mad: .
Any hints :confused: ?
TIA,

Here is the statement (line 28 is marked with ***):
CREATE TRIGGER TransferToABII ON [dbo].[CALGeneral] FOR INSERT AS BEGIN TRANSACTION BEGIN DECLARE @Event varchar(255), @BBaseUID int, @StartDate smalldatetime, @EndDate smalldatetime, @Details varchar(255), @AddressID int, @ProjectID int, @UpdatedByID int, @ActID int, @EventID int

IF @@ERROR <> 0 BEGIN RAISERROR('Error occured',16,1) ROLLBACK TRANSACTION END COMMIT TRANSACTION
I'm combining first name, last name, middle name, and an ID number together into an alias. Then I need to match that alias with a variable passed to the page (its a search results page). The problem is it claims that there is no table with the name of my alias. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
A mockup of the SQL looks like this:
SELECT UserID, Last_Name + ', ' + First_Name + ' ' + Middle_Name + '.' AS name FROM Table WHERE name LIKE 'variable%'
Everything looks right with the results, if I take out the WHERE clause it has name displayed properly and joined together with the rest of the data in the results properly.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!
I have a query that doesn't work when i use 4 name convention instead of a openquery. The msg is below. Anyone know what is going on? Both queries are the same but one doesn't work.

hi all, i made a stored procedure that uses the sp_send_dbmail to send mails. SQL server dislays the message "mail queued" but nothing is recieved
here is the code of the stored procedure i made EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @profile_name = 'Exams', @recipients = 'me@domain.com', @Body_format = 'HTML' , @subject = 'Room Preparation' , @body='hi there'; so can anyone help with this issue thanks in advance
I have a drill through that passes four parameters. Three are passed from the current selections in that reports parameters and the fourth needs to be the customer name they click on in the body of the report so it's passed as Fields!fieldname.Value. When I click on the customer name, the drillthough fires but the report simply doesn't load. If I remove the parameter from the field clicked on and just pass the three parameters, it goes to the drill through correctly and that fourth parameter just sets to the default for that parameter in that report.
I can then simply check that parameter and select the value from the list that is exactly the same as the value I was attempting to pass it in the drill through and report refreshes correctly.
Whatever it is, is something in the manner that the value is passed in the drill through specifically.
Hello, I've rescued a MDF and LDF files off a client's old server, and I wanted to attach it to our own, but I can't seem to get the command to work, basically I have these two files, which I've dropped on our server:
So when I do a SP_ATTACH_SINGLE_FILE_DB 'somedb','C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataMYCLIENTNAME_Data.MDF'
It says the LDF path my be incorrect, and that there's two other files that are missing: MYCLIENTNAME_LOG (no extension) extra_log (no extension)
I thought the whole point of the command is that you only need a single file? Its very hard to go back to the client's old server and try to find these two files, and it doesn't really matter if we loose a bit of data, so long as the bulk of it is available.
Update: I think I've found the answer...its not possible to do this, it really needs all the log files. Any workarounds?
C#, Webforms, VS 2005, SQL Hi all, quick hit question. I'm trying to update a table with an employee name and hire date. Session variable of empID, passed from a previous page (successfully) determines which row to plop the update into. It's not working even though i compiles and makes it all the way through the code to the txtReturned.Text = "I made it" debug line...Any thoughts? 1 string szInsSql; 2 3 string sConnectionString = "Data Source=dfssql;Database=MyDB;uid=myID;pwd=myPWD"; 4 SqlConnection objConn = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString); 5 6 objConn.Open(); 7 8 szInsSql = "UPDATE empEmployee SET " + 9 "Name = '" + this.txtName.Text + "', " + 10 "HireDate = '" + this.txtHireDate.Text + "', " + 11 "WHERE empID = '" + Session[empID] + "'"; 12 13 SqlCommand objCmd1 = new SqlCommand(szInsSql, objConn); 14 objCmd1.ExecuteNonQuery(); 15 16 txtReturned.Text = "I made it"; It's got to be a ' or a , out of place but I've looked at this code for a half hour straight, trying a variety of changes...and it still doesn't update the DB...Any help would be great. Thank you! -Corby-
I have been looking at this for over a day now. I cannot see why this procedure does not work, its so simple. No matter what happens it always returns 0. If it locates a record, it doesnt update it, yet it still returns 0. It should not be returning 0 if its not updating so I can't figure out why it does. Why does this always return 0? [pre]Create Procedure CreateNewCategory @title nvarchar(100), @description nvarchar(1000), @displayOrder intAS DECLARE @Result as int IF EXISTS(SELECT categoryTitle FROM categories WHERE categoryTitle = @title) BEGIN SELECT @Result = 1 ENDELSE BEGIN INSERT INTO categories(categoryTitle, categoryDescription, displayOrder) VALUES(@title, @description, @displayOrder) /* If no error was encountered, 0 will be returned. */ SELECT @Result = @@Error ENDGO[/pre] Thanks!
Since I have to go across the network, I'm trying to use the UNC. However, this won't even work when I'm using the UNC to point to the server on which this is run. I'm trying to restore a single table on 6.5. What is the obvious piece that I'm missing?
This works.
LOAD TABLE address FROM DISK = 'd:MSSQLackupDBBackup.DAT' WITH source='address'
This doesn't.
LOAD TABLE address FROM DISK = 'server1d$MSSQLackupDBBackup.DAT' WITH source='address'
