What Type Of Field Should I Use To Store An Array Or Datatable?
Feb 25, 2005
Hi - I'm using Session variables to store information (sort of webshop).
The sessions are a mix of the usual straightforward strings, wich are no problem - but I also have a DataTable which I store in a session variable, and I also have an array, which I store in a session variable eg. session("day")(x) where x is the item in the array.
I want to give my users the ability to store the items they've selected in my database, but have no idea of what type of field I should use for the datatable and array session variable. Should I use a TEXT field, or is there another more appropriate one'?
I'm using SQL Server 2000.
Thanks for any help,
Mark

Is there a special field type I should be using, instead of a NVARCHAR for storing comma separated words?
I could, construct an array from the field value... but not sure if this would be the "right" way to do it?

I am attempting to create a stored procedure that will launch at report runtime to summarize data in a table into a table that will reflect period data using an array type field. I know how to execute one line but I am not sure how to run the script so that it not only summarizes the data below but also creates and drops the table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can you loop over a data reader and save the current row to a temp array of some sort and return this array back to the caller?
SqlDecimal total = 0;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Context Connection=true");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(@"SELECT column1, column2, column3
FROM table ", conn);
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (rdr.Read())
{
if (rdr.GetSqlString(1) == "01")
{
// ADD the current record to a temp list
total = total + rdr.GetSqlDecimal(2);
}
}
SqlContext.Pipe.Send(total.ToString());
// RETURN the temp list
rdr.Close();
conn.Close();

How does one pass into a Stored Procedure an array of numbers to be used in an IN clause? If I pass "1,2" in a VARCHAR, the stored procedure sees only the first number (1 in this case).
I'm using VB and ADO.NET, but I don't know how to set up the stored procedure for an array. Is there a parsing function to do this?
CREATE PROCEDURE TestInClause( @TeamList VARCHAR)ASSELECT Name FROM Teams WHERE TeamID IN (@TeamList); /* sees only 1st number */GO

I€™ve inherited a project from one of the guys on our team who will be out sick for a while. He developed two for marshaling data between System.Drawing.Image and System.Byte(). He€™s storing the byte array data in a database image field.
I€™ve retrieved the byte array data from his database image fields and have successfully converted them to images using his ConvertByteArrayToImage method below. I have also converted and image to a byte array with his ConvertImageToByteArray method below and succfully stored the data in a database image field. However, when I retrieve the byte array data that I stored in the database the last line in his ConvertByteArrayToImage method throws an exception (Parameter is not valid). I€™ve not been able to find a working copy of his code that€™s storing the byte array data. Does anyone see anything I€™m overlooking?
Imports System.Drawing

Dim lImage As Image

I have a problem using 3 tables. The first recordset is my own invention (that means a very simple one). It reads product features from a table:
Set Rsx = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
sSQL= "SELECT * from prodfeatures"
Rsx.Open sSQL, sDSN, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
'then I read the recordset into arrays like this:
While Not Rsx.eof
i=i+1
mte(i)=Rsx("id")
' every id has a corresponding featurename
mfnavn(mte(i))=Rsx("featurename")
Rsx.movenext
Wend
'this part works very well
Now comes the difficult part that the SQLTeam figured out (this combines an order base with an itemorder base):
Set Rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
sSQL="select oitems.catalogid,oitems.features, sum(oitems.numitems) as SumOfItems from oitems Inner Join Orders On Orders.orderid = oitems.orderid Where Orders.oshippeddate =" & dDate & " AND Orders.orderid <> 1 group by oitems.catalogid,oitems.features"
Rs.Open sSQL, sDSN, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
'Then I write the content of the products with product features - the complexity of the sql is due to a use of many other operations:
While Not Rs.eof
response.write Rs("catalogid") & "features:" & Rs("features") & "Name:" & mfnavn(rs("features"))
Rs.movenext
Wend
The query runs, and starts well, writing 3 lines:
239 features:221 Name:Standard bil max 5m lang og 1,9 m høy
240 features:270 Name:Liggestol (gratis)
240 features:271 Name:C1 Enkeltseng i delt lugar u. bildekk. Kun vask
but it is then aborted with this message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: 'Rs(...)'
I know that the problematic part is the array
mfnavn(rs("features"))
...anyone with experience in this?

Hi,
I was migrating from Oracle to SQL Server 2005 using SSMA (SQL Server Migration Assistant) but i`ve found an issue, i can´t find how to fix it. In my stored procedure in PL/SQL exists this lines:
TYPE T_ARRAY_COL IS VARRAY (1000 ) OF VARCHAR2 (50);
A_COLUMNS T_ARRAY_COL := T_ARRAY_COL();
Somebody know how can i simulate this data type ARRAY. I was reading http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/02/TSQLinYukon/ but some things are not clear for me.... please help me, give me one hand.
Thank you

Hi,
We're importing data from a progress db. Some of the columns contain arrays or delimited values which represent accounting periods.
Currently I'm passing the arrays row by row to a stored procedure which parses and inserts each value as a row for the applicable accounting period, it works but is very slow.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Is there any array data type in SQL Server 7.0. I am using VB 6.0 with ADO 2.1. I am populating a MSFlexGrid with values that I pass to SQL Server one at a time and insert into the database. What I would like to do is pass the entire contents of the Grid at once to a stored procedure and let SQL do the processing so my routine is not going back and forth to the client. I did not find any documentation on any array data types in SQL. What is my best approach to this problem?
Thanks,
Dan Collins

I am between the "newbie" and "intermediate" stages of writing SQL code and I am wondering if there is a way to capture multiple results into one field so I can basically create a "set" for a unique identifier. Here is few result samples I receive from this code I am using now.
ReqNo ProcID
7102005 1409
7102005 1796
7139003 1411
7139003 6097
7261030 1409
7261030 1796
7268303 3998
7268303 4000
I would like to create a single row for each "ReqNo" and have a field that will an array of the "ProcID" results I receive. In other words, for the first "ReqNo" 7102005, can I create a field that will combine the 1409, 1796 into one field? I am trying to capture an array of integers used for that "ReqNo" so I can use that as a unique identifier in a join for another table.
So, ideally my result would be:
ReqNo ProcSet
7102005 1409, 1796
7139003 1411, 6097
7261030 1409, 1796
7268303 3998, 4000
Is this possible?

I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE"Â .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.

I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?
