A Relational Technique To Strip The HTML Tags Out Of A Ntext Datatype Field
Nov 27, 2007I had a problem with the ntext datatype. I need to strip the HTML tags out of a ntext datatype column. I have sample query for that, which works fine for STRING, as stuff is the string function, what to do for ntext field.
=======The Process follows like this =========

-- Description:A relational technique to

-- This table contains the tags to be re

Which Method For SELECT Is Prefered?
Nov 19, 2007Hi guys,
I'm just curious if there is a prefered method when it comes to SELECT statements that include multiple tables. I have two versions:
SELECT FirstName, LastName, ProductName, SalePrice
FROM SALES, PRODUCTS, CUSTOMERS
WHERE MONTH(SaleDate) = '2'
AND YEAR(SaleDate) = '2005'
AND SALES.ProductID = PRODUCTS.ProductID
AND SALES.CustomerID = CUSTOMERS.CustomerID;
SELECT FirstName, LastName, ProductName, SalePrice
FROM CUSTOMERS
INNER JOIN SALES ON CUSTOMERS.CustomerID = SALES.CustomerID
INNER JOIN PRODUCTS ON PRODUCTS.ProductID = SALES.ProductID
WHERE MONTH(SaleDate) = '2'
AND YEAR(SaleDate) = '2005';
Could you tell me if either of these methods are favored over the other or if there is another way of producing the same output that is used over both these methods.
Thank you in advance

Jan 28, 2006Right now the database I am working with is storing time inan Integer data type and is storing the time value in seconds.The application does not allow entering seconds. It acceptsminutes and hours.I have a report where it is doing:SELECT SUM(TIMEENTERED)and the SUM is *blowing* up as the SUM is reachingthe BIGINT range.I can fix the problem by changing all codes to:SELECT SUM(CAST(TIMEENTERED AS BIGINT))But now that I ran into this problem I want to find outif storing the time in seconds using INTEGER datatype is the best solution?I've been searching this newsgroup and other placesthe whole day. I even ran into my own three year oldpost. Three years ago my problem was data migrationrelated and now it is more of performance related thananything else.http://groups.google.com/groups?as_...y=2006&safe=offI could not find this specific topic in SQL books likeSQL for Smarties 2005 by Joe Celko (very good stuff ontemporal topics but nothing specific to my question),or Inside SQL Server 2000.Which data type would be ideal and why?smalldatetime?integer?decimal?float?The type of operations that are being done in the databaseare:1- Entering time in hours on work done on a taskFor the data entry part, the application accepts2.5 as 2 and a half hours and it is storing2.5 * 3600 = 9000 seconds.It also accepts entering 2:30 as 2 hours and30 minutes and again storing 9000 seconds.I even saw a page where you can enter clocktime: I worked from 9:30AM to 12:45PMas an exampleWhen i checked the underlying table(s) I sawthat the ENTEREDTIME is always the durationin seconds. So the data entry can either be2.5 hours where ENTEREDTIME = 9000 secondsor9:00AM to 11:30AMwhere STARTDATE is today's date for examplestored as 1/27/2005 09:00AMand where ENTEREDTIME = 9000 seconds2- All kinds of reports showing total time in hoursfor example: Project1 = 18.5 hoursThe code in the SP are all like:SUM(ENTEREDTIME) / CAST(3600 AS DECIMAL(6,2))AS TOTALTIME3- I am sure a lot of other arithmetic calculations arebeing done with this ENTEREDTIME field.What would be the best way to store hours/minutesbased on how we are using Time in the database?Either I will stick with Integer but store in minutestime instead of calculating in seconds and most likelyupdate all the SUM(ENTEREDTIME) toSUM(CAST(ENTEREDTIME AS BIGINT))or I will switch to storing in decimal/float andmaybe avoid doing :SUM(ENTEREDTIME) / CAST(3600 AS DECIMAL(6,2))AS TOTALTIMEsince the ENTEREDTIME would already be storedin hours time.or I will use DATETIME since in the cases ofI worked from 9:00AM to 11:30AMI have to have a separate column to store the date also.I am a little confused I am hoping I will get some helpfrom you and maybe if I can't find the best solution, atleast eliminate the NOT so good ones I am thinking of.Thank you
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow To Declare Type Varchar In Markup For SQLDataSource?
Dec 11, 2005How do you set the type to varChar like this using markup (xml tags in the .aspx page)?
If I were creating a SQLDataSource control declaratively and one of the parameters needed to be set to VarChar rather than just a string I would set a parameter type to varchar using this syntax: myAdapter.UpdateCommand.Paramters.Add("@Title", SqlDbType.VarChar, 80, "Title");
SQLDataSource control as a default will create parameters as strings even though the table it is pointing to has type varchar in it such as below:
<asp:Parameter Name="Title" Type="String" />
If I leave it like that, I get the following error below (as expected) since it really needs to be type SqlDbType.VarChar
"The data types text and nvarchar are incompatible in the equal to operator"
Below is example default markup the SqlDataSource control creates with an update. Where in this markup should I change things so it will update correctly to varchar rather than just trying to throw a string in the table?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="IISLearning_Content_SqlDataSource" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:IISLearningConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand=""></asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="MySqlDataSource" runat="server" ConflictDetection="CompareAllValues"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyConnectionString %>" OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [MyTable]"
UpdateCommand="UPDATE [MyTable] SET [Title] = @Title WHERE [ID] = @original_ID AND [Title] = @original_Title">
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="Title" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="original_ID" Type="Int32" />

Store Column With Date Datatype In MM/DD/YYYY Format?
Oct 16, 2015We are on SQL Server 2012 and I was wondering if you store the values in the columns with "date" or "datetime" datatype in MM/DD/YYYY format? Currently I am storing them as Varchar(10) using the Cast & Convert function to preserve "fomatting" but it would be great to do that in the date/ datetime datatype as well -- is that possible?
Note that this is not for a transnational table but for a data warehouse project. I have three fields in the date dimension each with it's own usage: INT (e.g. 20151016), DATE & VARCHAR.
MSDE Text Datatype - Unable To Store More Than 900 Characters. (msde + Visual Studio 2003)
Jun 6, 2005Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.

Numeric Datatype To Ssis Variable Datatype Conversion Problem
Apr 24, 2008
Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

SQL And HTML
Jun 8, 2006Hi.
I've got a question regarding record inserts via a from (textbox, multiple lines) on a web page.
I'm using a textbox within a form to enter data for a record. When this box contains several lines and the data is inserted into the database (SQL2005 Ent.) it separates each line with a character similar to a square (probably a line break symbol or something). This is all fine for storage, but retrieving the data and displaying it on a web page, just displays one long line, not at all how I entered it in my textbox.
Is there a way to "replace" all of the line breaks with.. say.. "<br>", so that it displays more correctly? Or perhaps I need to implement a HTML-based editor on my form (I've seen them out there, but should this really be necessary?).
I'm using ASP.NET (*.asp pages) and VBScript..
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, so please move if necessary.
Best regards,
Egil

Returning HTML Via SQL
Apr 14, 2008So I have a stored procedure that returns rows that look similer to this
Code:
<a href="~/Manage/ManageVersion.aspx?viewstate=MTgwNywzMTc0LDguOSAgICAgICA=">DPF-13</a>
Unfortunatly when it is bound to the gridview it seems to convert the value to HTML safe.
The value it prints on the page is
Code:
<a href="~/Manage/ManageVersion.aspx?viewstate=MTgwNywzMTc0LDguOSAgICAgICA=">DPF-13</a>
Hit quote to look at the actual values
How can I fix the output to the gridview to print the actual link and the the html safe value?
Can I accomplish this in SQL or am I going to have to do it all in the c# code (which will be a less clean solution and alot more work).
