Large Amount Of Text?

Feb 22, 1999

We have created a databse in SQL Server 7 for support issues.
We are having trouble with only one aspect of the databse and that is the body of the supported problem.

The databse is basically a Question/Answer Support database whch house Frequently Asked Questions.
When the user does a search on a specific problem they have a list of matching questions shows on the screen (links).
When the question is clicked on it shows the Questions with the Answer of possible fixes.

Our problem lies in the fact that SQL server is truncating the Answer portion. I have tried different Data Types with maximum lengths with no success it keeps truncating it.
Right now I am on Data Type nvarchar with a length of 4000.

If anyone has any pointers on how to solve this problem all input is appreciated. You can post here to the forum or e-mail me directly at jason@flnet.com

Thank You.

Large Amount Of Text Pushing To Separate Page After PDF Render

May 25, 2006

I am having a small problem.

When I generate a report with a large amount of text data (Paragraphs) the report will not split the text between two pages.

It will move the entire text box to the next page leaving a large amount of space on the previous page.

I tried every control on the page to render this. I tried textboxes, tables, lists, rectangles, subreports, etc..

The data is stored in a SQL table using a text data type (there can be a large amount of data entered into these database.

Any help on this would be great. I like reporting services, but there are just a few bugs.

I am using Reporting Services 2000 with Service Pack 2 and Hotfix

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=912424 (That fixed a different PDF rendering issue) and this problem was occuring prior to this hotfix.

Thanks in advance

Large Arrays, UDFs And The Text Datatype

Jul 23, 2005

I have a bunch of SPs that all rely on a UDF that parses a commadelimitted list of numbers into a table. Everything was working fine,but now my application is growing and I'm starting to approach the 8000character limit of the varChar variable used to store the list.I would like to change the UDF only and avoid having to dig through allof my stored procedures. I was hoping to use the text datatype toallow for much larger lists, but I am unable to perform anymanipulations necessary to parse the list into a table. I have triedPATINDEX, but it alone is not enough without the text maniuplations andI don't think the sp_xml_preparedocument can be used in a UDF.Anyone with any thoughts on managing large arrays in t-sql?thanks,Matt Weiner

INDEXIES – Inserting Of Large Amount Of Records

Feb 25, 2007

Is there any way how to create indexies after insertion of any
number of records (I dont want to create index after insertion of every record,
but for example after insertion of 1000 records) ?



 I heard it should be possible with „bulk insert“ or with
transactions. Is it right ? I need do this with MS SQL Server 2005 (Workgroup
edition).



 Thank you for your ideas!

Deleting Large Amount Of Data From The Table......

May 18, 2001

I need to delete data from a particular table which has more than half a million records. The data needs to be deleted is more than 200,000 records from the table. What is the best way to delete the data from the table other than importing into a temporary table and performing the same operation?

Let me know if the strategy to be followed is okay.

1. Drop all the triggers
2. Drop all the indexes
3. Write a procedure with a loop setting ROWCOUNT to 1000 and delete the records. ( since if I try to delete all the rows it will give timeout error )
The above procedure will delete 1000 records for each batch inside the loop till it wipes out all the data for the specified condition.
4. Recreate Indexes and Triggers.

Please let me know if there are any other optimal solution.

Thanx,
Zombie

How Do You Improve SQL Performance Over Large Amount Of Data?

Jul 23, 2005

Hi,I am using SQL 2000 and has a table that contains more than 2 millionrows of data (and growing). Right now, I have encountered 2 problems:1) Sometimes, when I try to query against this table, I would get sqlcommand time out. Hence, I did more testing with Query Analyser and tofind out that the same queries would not always take about the sametime to be executed. Could anyone please tell me what would affect thespeed of the query and what is the most important thing among all thefactors? (I could think of the opened connections, server'sCPU/Memory...)2) I am not sure if 2 million rows is considered a lot or not, however,it start to take 5~10 seconds for me to finish some simple queries. Iam wondering what is the best practices to handle this amount of datawhile having a decent performance?Thank you,Charlie Chang[Charlies224@hotmail.com]

Passing Large Amount Of Records As Single Parameter?

Jan 18, 2008

Hello all - I currently have a project that has a gridview on the front end. The user can select multiple items from this grid, hit a button and all of the selected records should be updated in the process. However, this resultset can have a large amount of data coming back, and I'm stumped on how to pass all of the ID's to the sp. I'd rather not call the SP for each record selected, as there could be 1,000 items selected, and well, I'd rather not call the SP 1000 times :p. I thought of generating a comma delimited list as I'm looping through the grid and using dynamic sql, but the IDs are about 6-7 numbers long, and including comma, would take up almost all of the max space in a varchar.
 Are there any good solutions to this problem? Passing the items as an array? Generating a data table in .NET and passing that?
 Any help would be appreciated.

How To Make Recursive Algorithm Without Using Large Amount Of Resources

May 4, 2015

How can I make a recursive algorithm in TSQL without using a large amount of resources?

New hires are put on a 6 month probation period, Their probation ends at the 6 month mark + sick time isnull(floor(sick_hours/8),0) they accrued during that 6 months. Their accrued sick days are added to the 6 month probation period to establish a new probation end date.

I then have to do the following loop:

1)Determine if any of the days between the original probation end date and the new probation end date have any weekend days or holidays for a particular employee.

2)If it does, I add those days to the new probation end date to create a newer probation end date.
a.I then go back up to step 1).

3)If it does not, I jump out of loop and look at the next employee on probation.

Note: I already have coding for determining number of sick days accumulated during an employee’s probation period. Recursive CTE? Recursive function? Other?

Does A Large Amount 'image' Data Affect Overall SQL Performance?

Jul 20, 2007

Recently we added a new table into our SQL2000 database specifically to store scanned in images of documents. This new table contains a PK field, a couple of datetime fields, a couple of char(1) fields and one 'image' field.



Before adding this table, the database size was approx 6GB. Six months after adding this new table, the database has grown to 18GB - 11GB of this is due to the scanned in images.



Would this new table affect the SQL performance with regards to accessing other data in the database that has nothing related to the new table?



If so, would moving this new table into it's own database be recommended?



Thanks

Rod

Populating An Access Combo Box With Large Amount Of Data Causes Table Lock In SQL Server

Jul 20, 2005

I have a combo box where users select the customer name and can eithergo to the customer's info or open a list of the customer's orders.The RowSource for the combo box was a simple pass-through query:SELECT DISTINCT [Customer ID], [Company Name], [contact name],City,Region FROM Customers ORDER BY Customers.[Company Name];This was working fine until a couple of weeks ago. Now wheneversomeone has the form open, this statement locks the entire Customerstable.I thought a pass-through query was read-only, so how does this do atable lock?I changed the code to an unbound rowsource that asks for input of thefirst few characters first, then uses this SQL statement as therowsource:SELECT [Customer ID], [Company Name], [contact name],City, Region Fromdbo_Customers WHERE [Company Name] like '" & txtInput & "*' ORDER BY[Company Name];This helps, but if someone types only one letter, it could still bepulling a few thousand records and cause a table lock.What is the best way to populate a large combo box? I have too muchdata for the ADODB recordset to use the .AddItem methodI was trying to figure out how to use an ADODB connection, so that Ican make it read-only to eliminate the locking, but I'm striking outon my own.Any ideas would be appreciated.Roy(Using Access 2003 MDB with SQL Server 2000 back end)

Using Inserted / Deleted Tables With Text / NText / Image Data Type

Oct 6, 2004

Hi folks,

Table:

a int,
b int,
c int,
d text

I need to change my AFTER - Trigger from this (example!):

select * into #ins from inserted

to something like

select *(without Text / nText / image -columns) into #ins from inserted.

So I tried to build a string like this: (using INFORMATIONSCHEMES)

select @sql = 'select a,b,c into #ins from inserted'
exec(@sql)

a,b,c are not of Text, nText or Image datatype.

After executing the trigger, I get an error, that inserted is unknown.

Does anyone know how to solve this ?

Thx.

Text Datatype?

Nov 13, 2001

Hi Everybody,

From the BOL, what I understood is, Text Datatype can accept more characters than 'char' & 'varchar' datatypes. There is no limitation like 8000 characters(what we hv in 'char' & 'varchar').

But I am surprised I am not able to add more than 8000 characters to my text datatype. Can anybody guide me how to do this?. Any help is appreciated.

tks in advance,
Sri
