Saving Carriage Return In A Nvarchar Field (SQL Server 2005)
Oct 26, 2006Hi,
As you can see, I'm totally new at Sql Server.
I have a problem, I store text into a nvarchar field (could be a 200 or 20,000 characters long string), inside the text there are several carriage returns which I would like to preserve to later presentation, but when retreiving the data from sql server I got the "cr" as "?", also I opened the database from Sql Managment and all cr's were saved as "?".
What can I do to preserve the cr inside each field ?
Thanks in advance.
Transact SQL :: NVARCHAR Field Getting Truncated After Increasing Field Length?
Aug 28, 2015I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.
It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:
Inserted Value -> Result in table
123456-8 -> 123456-8Â Â Â Â Â Â *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567-Â Â Â Â Â *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789Â Â Â *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567#Â Â Â Â *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9Â Â Â *Correct
Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?
I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.
Order Of Nvarchar(50) Field
Jun 12, 2008In my SQL 2005 database table Records, I have 3 fields, field1, field2, and field3 which are all nvarchar(50) fields. The value of field2 is something like this, MDB006-MD002-0004-3-2007.

What Matter Are There If I Always Set Big Length In Nvarchar Field?

SQL Field Convert Nvarchar To Datetime
Dec 4, 2007Hi everyone.
So as the subject says, I have a few fields that are nvarchar but hold date information. Most of these fields I have been able to move to datetime easiliy enough, simply by going into edit mode for the table and converting the fields to datetime. But 1 field is giving me problems I keep getting this error.
quote:- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.
I really dont know why I'm getting this error, but I"m assuming it may have to be something like one of the records may not be in date format. But I don't know if this is the case and I don't know how to locate where my problem is coming from.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Converting Date Field From Informix To SQL Nvarchar
Apr 13, 2004I copying data from our Informix 7.2 database into SQL Server 2K using DTS but hitting errors during the process. There appears to be date data within Informix that will not convert properly when moving into SQL. Since the error is appearing at the 1.5million (approx.) record. I figured on changing from datetime to nvarchar. Works like a charm! :-)
My new problem is converting it back to datetime so I can query against the date without having to create scripts to parse the field.
The data in SQL currently looks like this -> 2000-11-29 (nvarchar(50))
I would like to have it -> 11/29/00 (datetime)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

View 2 Replies View RelatedSearch String Field (nvarchar) For Unicode Characters
Nov 8, 2006MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail:
SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records
However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

NULL Values To Sequential Number (The Field Is Nvarchar Datatype)
Jun 16, 2012Ok I have upgraded my works database from a poorly designed Access database to a SQL database. The previous system allowed NULL values and duplicates to be inserted into a field that should NOT ALLOW NULL Values or duplicates. Therefore, this issue has now been moved across to my new system as I cannot set these constraints on the field that has multiple NULL values.
My solution would be to use a sequential operator, so whatever = NULL would be changed to a sequential number that us as administrators would know was a bogus number starting at something like = 999999900 counting up from that. There are only 250 records that would require updating.
To make things more interesting this field is not a integer type, its a Nvarchar type as its a Hardware ID. Both numerical and characters are require.

Euro Symbol, Charset 850 And Unicode
May 8, 2001Dear experts,
I'm having a problem with the Euro symbol on my SQLServers which all have characterset 850 and Unicode collation 1033. As far as I can see charset 850 does not contain the € symbol, but if I run a query
DECLARE @nstring nchar(12)
SET @nstring = N'€'
SELECT UNICODE(@nstring), NCHAR(UNICODE(@nstring))
Result: 8364 €
So the Unicode character 8364 is the Euro symbol. My question now is how do I have to write a statement so that the € symbol is shown in the output.
I need to use something like the following:
Select 'Costs:'+ € + convert(money, table1.costs)
Result: € 123.00
I tried several options but never get the right output. Is there any way of doing it or do I have to change the characterset.

Change Ntext To Nvarchar(max) In A Live Database

View 4 Replies View RelatedChanging All VARCHAR To NVARCHAR Database-wide?
Jan 15, 2005Hi,
I have an ASP.NET application that uses VARCHAR extensively in the tables and, more importantly, stored procedures (a couple hundred of them).
This app needs to start accepting foreign language in some areas, so I was wondering if there was some way to go through the tables and, more importantly, the stored procedures and change all "VARCHAR" references to "NVARCHAR" ?
Are the stored procedures stored as a text file somewhere on the server? If so I could use some sort of "replace" software utility to go through and change all VARCHAR to NVARCHAR
thanks!

Ntext Vs. Nvarchar, Mysterious Data In The Database
Oct 2, 2007I hope this is the right forum for this question, my apologies in advance if it isn't....
We have a web based CGI product (written in C++ VS 6) that uses ODBC and takes text from a submitted web page and stores it in a SQL Server table in a field of type "ntext". The user in question is copying and pasting this text from an MS Word 2003 document. After the initial save our app errors out trying to access the table it just wrote to, and when we look in the table we see that up to **200 carriage returns** have been mysteriously inserted into the ntext field!! (Our product has been out in the field with no such problem for several years, so we are thinking it's related to something specific the customer is doing - perhaps with using MS Word for the source text.) We have tried but cannot duplicate the problem, but the customer sees it with each attempt to modify the table in question. The only thing that I see out of the ordinary is that the field in question is of type "ntext" - which supports unicode, instead of nvarchar. Does any of this ring a bell for anybody? I'm thinking of changing the field type to nvarchar to see if that solves the problem.
Thanks, Steve Bradbery
