I'm making a translation thingie, that contains several languages. One of
them is Danish and in one of my update scripts, I've come upon something
strange.
I have a text containing the letter "å" which is a special Danish letter
(along with ø and æ). When I create the data base and inserts the default
data everything is fine. But if I use an update script like:
UPDATE [dbo].[TextControlLanguage]
SET [Text] = 'Skabelonen er måske ikke gemt. Vil du gemme den?'
WHERE TextControlID = 1217
AND LanguageID = 1
the "å" in "måske" gets lost. Do I have to some alpha nummeric code?
How come that when inserting the default data everything is fine, but when
updating the "å" is removed?
how can i update a column with datatype of text with a combination of columns having a datatype of float? do i convert the float columns to varchar/char/?? and/or can i convert the column i am updating?
I try to update a field of text datatype using WRITETEXT statement. The information that I try to change has both the single(') and double (") quotes in it. How can I get it done ?
I need to update the path only to H:2007|( Winter019997.htm)Filename as in database.
Question 2 This needs to be done automatically so when attachments are being added this updates. How can I do this?
Question 3 I have the attachments saved in this location C:Program Files etc… I need them moved to another location on the network. How can I do this?
I am trying to update text fields where the field only has the value"closed." So a field that has closed and anything else will not beupdated.update dbo.Histset dbo.Hist.Notes = ''FROM dbo.HistWHERE (Notes LIKE 'closed_')update dbo.Histset dbo.Hist.Notes = ''FROM dbo.HistWHERE (Notes LIKE 'closed%') and len(convert(varchar(7000),notes)) = 7Neither code works and i get this error: "Subquery returned more than1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <=, >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.The statement has been terminated."What's another way to make the update?
Hi All,I'm not that great with MS-SQL, as I never really have any occasion touse it. However, I need to get this one thing working and don't havea clue where to start.I have a comma-delimited file that's delivered to the server everynight that contains updates to one of the tables. I'm trying tocreate a DTS package that will read in the text file and update all ofthe records contained in it, rather than simply append them to thebottom of the table (resulting in duplicate entries).I know how to schedule it and such, but if anyone can give me sometips on the design of the DTS package, it would be much appreciated.Thanks!- Steve Osit
I have portions of data coming in as text files containing new records and updates of existing records. The solution I've figured out till yet is to import a portion of data into some intermediate table and then run a stored procedure to migrate the data into the real table. Any ideas how to do this in a more efficient way? Thanks in advance,
Hi,I have a website using a SQL Server database to store all of it's data.Retrieving data and writing basic data back is fine, however, when i goto update one table that has a text field in it the update fails ifthe amount of data being passed to the text field is too large.Is there a way around this or a particular update i should be using?Any information would be greatly appreciated.CheersBj
I am tring to use full text indexing. I have created an index and catalog. I can search on stuff that was entered before I created the index using contains or freetext but if I search on anything afterwards the results come up blank.

Hello, I have an aspx page with a text box. The user may enter a large portion of text including symbols like ' or ". On form submitting I would like a database (text or varchar(MAX) ) field to be updated with the value of the text box...The query that I have created for this purpose is the following: "string query ="UPDATE Article SET A_Content='" + content + "' WHERE A_Id=" + id; As I said before the user may (and in most cases must) enter special characters like ' (example: bla bla blah it's very good bla bla blah).The problem is that ' or " close the query string (SQL) and interpreter things that I am reffering to a field's name instead of the fields value (I think) resulting the following error:The identifier that starts with...is too long.Maximum length is 128.Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ...I think that it must be a very common problem with many solutions but for some reason I cant find anything on the web.What is the common practice to overcome the problem?Is there a function that might transform text into SQL acceptable text?Should I create methods for Replacing ' with other characters like ^^^ (text can be quite big...)?Thanx for any suggestions!
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?
I'm trying to do a simple update like I have done countless timesbefore.However, when I update the empty fields in this table it places a -1into the field rather than the enterred value.It is indexed with duplicates allowed.

If I create a row with a nullable text column whose initial value is null and then update the column with a value that is exactly 256 characters long, the value remains null. Once I update the column to any other value (including null), it works as expected. I have not yet seen a way around this.
I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:
Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.
I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.
It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.
So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.
I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure: Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK) Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar) I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query: CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID) But this gave me the error: Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns. I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like. Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.
Hello everyone ! I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image). I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents. Example: I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed. I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page. Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ? Best regards. Yannick
I get this error: The data types text and text are incompatible in the equal to operator. when trying to execute this query SELECT id FROM users WHERE username=@userName
I have text data files from a third party and they use comma as field delimiters and enclose the text for each column in double-quotes. Not a problem for most of the data files until they start sending files where there is " within the column values. SSIS package fails with the error:
The column delimiter for column "Column 1" was not found.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.Thankspcp
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql. When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example: http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited? Could it be something else? Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, Chris
I am getting these errors from Report Manager. It seems that every time after the server has been idling for about 15 minutes, I would get this error message. I can click on other links and I am able to continue to use Report Manager.
Is there a timeout setting to help me resolve this or is this a bug with Report Manager? I just insitalled SP2 on the SQL Server and the Reporting Service.

Example : 101-NY, 102-CA, 165-GA 116-NY, 258-NJ, 254-PA, 245-DC, 298-AL How do I get the values in the below format NY,CA,GA Â --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL Â --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch  only state names and not the numbers.

I have a text object on my crystal report, to which I programmatically want to assign text in CS. It all works fine, except that if I have html tags in there, the text doesn't get formatted, it just displays the html tags as text as well.
Now in thread linked above, the answer was: right click the text object, and format the text object, hit paragraph text and select text interpretation to HTML. The only problem is, that for a text object, it doesn't have the text interpretation option. It's only an option for a formula field. It says so in the tech support link posted inside the post itself!!!
So if you have any idea how I can do this, please someone help me out. I am new to crystal, and there's not much helpful info on it online. I've searched for this for hours, and no solution.
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.
I have a column in a table that has a type TEXT,when I pull the length of a row it returns 88222 but when I select from that column it dows not show all the text in the result set.

Hi,I been reading various web pages trying to figure out how I can extract some simple information from the XML below, but at present I cannot understand it. I have a MS SQL 2005 database with which contains a field of type text (external database so field type cannot be changed to XML)The text field in the database is similar to the one below but I have simplified it by remove many of the unneeded tags in the <before> and <after> blocks. I also reformatted it to show the structure (original had no spaces or returns) For each text field in the SQL table contain the XML I need to know the OldVal and the NewVal. <ProductMergeAudit> <before> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="OldVal"> </table> </before> <after> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="NewVal"> </table> </after></ProductMergeAudit>

I have followed many tutorials on selecting and replacing text in text fields, varchar fields and char fields, but I have yet to find a single script that will to all 3 based on field type. Let's assume for a moment that I don't know where all in my database a certain value that I need changed resides ... i.e., the data's tablename and fieldname. How would I go about doing the following ... or more importantly, is this even possible in a SQL only procedure?1) Loop over entire database and get all user tables2) Loop over all user tables and get all fields3) Loop over all fields and determine the field type4) switch between field types and change a string of text from 'a' to 'b'Please be gentle, I'm a procedure newb.
