Visual Interdev Truncates Long Varchars At 255
Sep 28, 1999
We have an application that uses ASP pages to get data from a SQL 7.0 database. One of the stored procedures that is called brings back a comment field that is a varchar(2000). For some reason, when this SP is called from the ASP page, the field is truncated at 255 characters. If the SP is run in the Query Analyzer, all 2000 characters are brought back (after we reset the default length in QA).
Is there any way for the ASP page to bring back more than 255 characters?

Hi all,
I am a little weak at SQL, so bear with me.
Can anyone give me an SP which uses "Between" to Display all Dates
BETWEEN a fromDate and toDate???
Two conditions
1.Both Dates are stored as varchar.
2. I should be able to get the dates even if years are different, say between 20th December 2006 and 3rd January 2007
3.Is there a way to extract the yearDiff?
Regards,
Naveen

with varchars having a max of 8000 bytes and partly because of the coder before me, I'm stuck with using text. the text has a maximum of 30,000 characters, i've tried everything to try to separate the text into 4 different varchars to no avail.. none of the string functions (left, substring, right) works on a text field, and when i try to convert it to a varchar (i.e. convert(varchar(8000), @text)) it obviously only takes the first 8000 characters...
what can i do in this case? any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!

A common request for enhancement to applications is to "make thisfield bigger". I know I've been caught with increasing a field size,and then spending hours debugging because another stored proc has avariable or temp table that uses the field defined as the originalvarchar size. SQL Server just truncates to fit the data into thesmaller varchar, and so there are no errors raised.An option suggested by a colleague is to no longer use varchars, butuse User Defined Types instead. To make this work effectively,though, they suggest we would need to make it a rule that we do notuse varchars anywhere except to define user defined types.Though there will be one point of changes I can't help thinking thisisn't a very good idea ! Any thoughts ?Thanks.

Hi I get the following error:
Implicit conversion of varchar value to varchar cannot be done
because the collation of the value is unresoved due to a collation
conflict
SELECT
Accounts_Users.NameFirst + ' '
+ Accounts_Users.NameLast + ' (' + Accounts_Users.BusinessUnit + ')' AS
NameFull, -- Error here
-- Accounts_Users.NameFirst + ' ' + Accounts_Users.NameLast AS NameFull, -- This line works
Accounts_Users.EmailAddress, Accounts_Users.BusinessUnit
FROM Accounts_Users.Accounts_Users
NameFirst and NameLast are VarChar(30) and BusinessUnit VarChar(50), I
did try converting it to 30 also but still got the same error
The sp works on my dev sql server but not on the live one, I am using Management Console v2 (dev) and 1.2 (live server)
Thanks
Steve

How come no matter what I do SQL server always truncates my dates when they are saved to the database? I save a complete date like 1/1/1900 6:13:42 and no matter what I do it always truncates the seconds off of all my dates, so I always get 1/1/1900 6:13:00. It makes no since because when I save the record the seconds are there, but when I pull it back up they are always gone.

I am using (or trying to) xp_readmail to import email into a table for further processing. I am using the following line to bring the email into a table (this is part of a larger stored procedure):
insert email_import exec master.dbo.xp_readmail
However, the email message is always truncated at 250 characters.
BOL says:
[@message =] 'message' Is the returned body or the actual text of the mail message. message is text, with no default.
I am at a loss here and I really need to get the entire message body into the imprt table so that I can parse the subject line to identify the row in the destination table to update with the email message body. Anybody have any ideas?? Thanks...

The sql database has an ntext (16) field which contains "information" and is used as a free form turnover log. When I bring this data into an ASP page the "information" gets truncated.
I have tried getchunk, however all formatting on the field is lost.
I have tried putting the field at the end of my query - no change.
I have tried querying the data as a separate sqlrs connection - no change.
I have tried using substring to break it down, the first substring works, however I get errors on the second (Expression result length exceeds the maximum. 8000 max, 12000 found).
I also tried to use substring in sql query anaylzer - and only get the first ~4180 characters.
Is there a way to split this field into multiple nvarchar fields in my temporary table in sql and then concatenate back together in asp report???

I just discovered that a bigint column in one of my tables is getting it's values truncated when I run a DTS job to copy the data to another database. The DTS job is designed to refresh our test environments from our production database. All the other tables copy fine. This include another table that also contains a bigint column. But this one table consistenly has a problem where 60 or so records are translated from positive number to negative values. The only explaination I came up with was truncation at some point.
Anyone know of a way to fix or work around this?

I have two fields - both defined as money.
When I divide them, SQL Server truncates the result after the 4th decimal point.
So SQL Server says: 370.45 / 3,391,517.85 = 0.0001
I want to achieve: 370.45 / 3,391,517.85 = 0.00010922837... etc.
The field the result is going into is defined as decimal(20,18)
I've tried using "cast(1stmoneyfield as decimal(20,18)) / cast(2ndmoneyfield as decimal(20,18)) as dividednumber", but SQL Server reports back errors about null values and Arithmetic overflow and terminates.
I'm at a loss as to how to solve the problem. Any suggestions please?

Alex writes "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Version - SQL server 2000
SQL Enterprise Mgr Version 8.0
I am currently developing a backend SQL db for an ASP website. I am only learning, so quite new to it all & would appreciate some help with the following;
I currently have a form that updates a recordset in my SQL db. This is working fine, except for the fact that when the form loads and the db tries to write the field value into my text box, e.g. Address: 20 Harbour Drive, the field value is truncated at the space and it writes the address as 20 in the text box.
When I view the detail page, no problems, the recordset was updated, but when I go back to the update page, the record values are truncated again as though the ASP page thinks the space is some kind of delimiter?
The size property of my textbox element is the same as the varchar datatype size in the SQL table.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts.

I'm importing from a SQL table that has data fields typed as numeric(18,2) and the OLEDB data source component converts the data to integers (as viewed in the data viewer). I've preceeded the column names with (DT_NUMERIC,18,2) with no results. When the data gets saved to a table with the field typed as money, it appends .00. The truncation of pennies (decimal) results in the diminution of the daily results as much as $1,000. How do I pass the pennies through the OLEDB data source component? Is this truncation by default,or is there something I'm missing in the configuration? thanks.

In t-sql 2012, data is obtained from [Inputtb].lockCombo1 where it is defined as varchar(8). The data is copied to test.dbo.LockCombination.combo where the field is defined as varchar(8). This copies all the data except the last right column.
Basically a value that is '12-34-56' intially from [Inputtb].lockCombo1 ends on in st.dbo.LockCombination.combo looking like
'12-34-5'. In this case the last value of '6' is missing. I have tried to use various string functions to obtain the entire value that should be  '12-34-56' and ends up looking like '12-34-5'.
Here are 2 sqls that I have used and I get the same results:
1.
UPDATE LKC
SET LKC.combo = lockCombo1
FROM [Inputtb] A
JOIN test.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type and A.schoolnumber =
@SchoolNumber
JOIN test.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber =
[Code] ....
I can not change the definition of the columns since these are production settings.
Thus can you should me modified sql that will end up with the entire value of 8 characters in the [Inputtb].lockCombo1 column?

As the titel suggests I am having quite a strange problem
I have installed an Enotebook on our domain server at work and it uses MSQL express 2005.
When I ask it to automatically connect using window authentication to connect it works on windows XP machines with DomainUSERNAME. However when I try the same thing on Windows vista it tells me the logon failed with "DomainUSERNAM". I change it to SQL Authetifcation and type the same username fully (I have added the user via active directory as a SQL user) then it works
Basically it looks like the windows username is sent from Vista missing the last letter.
I have Googled this a lot and have not really found an answer. Am I mearly being very stupid or is this a known issue. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to why this might happen?.

I created a stored procedure based custom conflict resolver in SQL 2005, I return the winning result set and also save that result set to a test table to compare the values. The values saved to the test table are correct but some of the values saved as the conflict winter are truncated.
Example a char(3) filed is updated at the subscriber as €˜111€™ and updated at the publisher as €˜222€™, in my custom conflict resolver if I use the value from the subscriber the conflict resolver updates the field as €™11 €˜, if I use the publisher value the conflict resolver updates the field as €™22 €˜. Now the same records is saved to the test table correctly as either €˜111€™ or €˜222€™ depending on the logic I used. So the result set has the correct values, its after the custom conflict resolver is called where the values is somehow truncated. Has anybody run into this before and what steps can I take to avoid this.
Thank you,

I've downloaded and installed both of these (VWD installs both) and have been trying to run through the walkthrough of setting up a web application which supports membership. However, no matter what I do I invariably get errors like the following:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I'm concerned why VWD and VSQL express versions don't run correctly out of the box (so to speak). I'm not an expert on configuring these services -- but that's the point of offering these tools to hobbyists: So we can learn about how to make some of these great applications using MS tools.
My configuration::
Windows XP SP2 -- clean machine as of about a month ago, never had any dev tools, web servers, or the like on it.
IIS is installed and the service says its running
VSQL and VWD express versions installed (no errors on installation)
SQL server service indicates it is running
.Net 2.0 framework installed (no errors on installation)
Note: I've tried installing on two separate machines. Obviously I'm missing something fundamental.
Would someone please help me go through the million things I [apparently] need to do to configure all these tools so I can get on to actually coding up my first web application? If this is documented somewhere, all I can say is I tried to find it but it certainly wasn't obvious.

Please Comment.

You should use readtext and writetext to access text column. By the way, nchar and nvarchar can hold up to 4000 characteres.

Hi
When writing a stored procedure,sometimes the line of sql code could be very long and be more than 128 caracthers.
I got an error message saying that the code is vey long and the maximum is 128.
But at the same time, this is erratic in MSSQL server because it works sometimes even with a line of code of more than 800 caracters...
Have you ever experienced the same problem??
What is the solution?
Thanks

Hello.
I have a query that takes 1,5second to execute, but only 150ms of CPU. The query is quite simple, just one where statement against a clustered index.
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 156 ms, elapsed time = 1595 ms.
SELECT column1, column3, column4, ..., column10 FROM table WHERE column2 IN (37, 41, 43, 45, 49, 53, 55) ORDER BY column3 DESC
|--Sort(TOP 1000, ORDER BY:([u].[LastActivityDate] DESC))
|--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__searchtest].[cix___searchtest_] AS [u]), SEEK:([u].[searchparamid]=37 OR [u].[searchparamid]=41 OR [u].[searchparamid]=43 OR [u].[searchparamid]=45 OR [u].[searchparamid]=49 OR [u].[searchparamid]=53 OR [u].[searchparamid]=55 OR [u].[searchparamid]=59) ORDERED FORWARD)
I have tried to rewrite the query to an INNER JOIN instead.
|--Sort(TOP 1000, ORDER BY:([u].[LastActivityDate] DESC))
|--Nested Loops(Inner Join, OUTER REFERENCES:([spal].[number]))
|--Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__search_parameters_lookup].[IX___search_parameters_lookup] AS [spal]), SEEK:([spal].[hash]=-1726604993) ORDERED FORWARD)
|--Clustered Index Seek(OBJECT:([MP].[dbo].[__searchtest].[cix___searchtest_] AS [u]), SEEK:([u].[searchparamid]=[spal].[number]) ORDERED FORWARD)
but the query still takes 1,5 seconds.
It spends 59% (according to execution plan) of sorting. 14% for the index seek of the __search_parameters_lookup table and then 24% of a clustered index seek of the __searchtest table.
How come it only uses that small of CPU but it still takes 1,5 seconds? It seems to be reading from memory as well so it shouldnt be an IO-problem?
The index I have on the table is a clustered index on (column 2).
Any ideas of how I can improve this? I have tried with DTA, also with a non clustered index on column3.
If I remove some columns from the SELECT-list the query will execute alot faster:
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 32 ms, elapsed time = 32 ms.
Booth the CPU and the elapsed time goes down and now appears to be more normal.
So there seems to be a problem caused by data transfer.
I tried to do a remake and normalize the table and when I do that I get the query execute with a speed of 400ms CPU and 400ms total. And this is still the exact same result, so why does it only spend 400ms of "rendering" or fetching the data when the tables are normalized but 1500ms when its denormalized?
Any ideas?
