Why can varchar datatype variable only 4000 byte?
For example:
in a storedprocedure
declare @aa varchar(8000)
......
while
select @aa=@aa+@otherinfo
end
when the length is more than 4000 ,the data in the behind will be lost
Need to know if the varchar datatype field will ingore leading zeros when compared with numeric datatype ?
create table #temp
(
code varchar(4) null,
id int not null
)
insert into #temp
[Code] .....
I have a table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.
How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?
Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?
Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?
Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.
Any insight to this would be appreciated.
i'm trying to read an image file from a database(ms-sql, .mdf) with type image. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I have a table adapter created but could not assign it to my byte[] variable. Thanks in advance.

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

Hi all,
I am using a varchar datatype for PIN number to handle zero at start. Now i want to do mathematical calculation to encrypt the PIN so i need to convert that varchar datatype to int so that zero should not be discarted after conversion. i.e. 0123 and 123 must not be treated as same PIN.
Please kindly give me a way out. I am using RSA encryption.
Thanks in anticipation.

When creating tables:
If varchar expands according to how long the actual string is in each case, then why not set the varchar max characters very high, rather than be conservative about it?
For example, if you think your names will only ever be 30 chars you could set that column to varchar(30).But -- why not go ahead and set the column to varchar(100) anyway to be safe? Or is there some hidden storage cost to using 100 rather than 30 max chars?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have few stored procedures that use nvarchar datatype, this was not issue on SQL server 7.0 but in 2000 becomes a big issue.
For example query that runs for 3 minutes in SQL server 2000 by replacing NVARCHAR to VARCHAR the same query runs for 2 seconds.

Hello,
I would like to change the datatype on a particular column from varchar to bigint across 100's of tables within a database.
I have the command ready which is:
ALTER TABLE tablename ALTER COLUMN columnname BIGINT
The problem happening is that it seems there are constraints across all the columns in every tables.
The error message is:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF__tablename__columnname__0ABD916C' is dependent on column 'columnname'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN columnname failed because one or more objects access this column.
I understand that if I delete this constraint, then it will let me modify the datatype of the column, but since there are tons of them and they are randomly named, how do I achive changing the datatype across multiple tables in bulk.

Hi I have a varchar(8000) and currently XML files are stored in varchar(8000).Some times when i am doing manuplactions in my varchar column i am getting with special characters error. so now i want to keep my column varchar(MAX) and when i am doing calculations i will convert my varchar datatype to xml datatype. By doing this i hope there wont be any special character problems.
When i am doing calculations with the wellformed xml i am getting error for both convert and cast methods as below
I am trying to do convert(xml,MyVarcharColumn)
Implicit conversion from data type xml to nvarchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Also i tried with casting and getting same problme. is there any way to convert
please suggest me

I am building a table change log that will track each attribute update and include the original and new values.
[BatchYearMonthKey] [int] NULL,
[BatchYearMonthDayKey] [int] NULL,
[AccountID] [varchar](200) NULL,
[Attribute] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[Old_ValueAtrDefault] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[New_ValueAtrDefault] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[Old_ValueAtrLong] [varchar] (max) NULL,
[New_ValueAtrLong] [varchar] (max) NULL
The challenge that the spectrum of varchar lengths across the table. I have one attribute that requires varchar(max) and all other attributes (about 40) are varchar (200).
I am trying to accomplish the following:
Account ID Status
1 Enabled
Now changed to
AccountID Status
1 Disabled
My log table will look like the following:
[BatchYearMonthKey] BatchYearMonthDayKey] [AccountID] [Attribute] [Old_ValueAtrDefault] [New_ValueAtrDefault] [Old_ValueAtrLong] [New_ValueAtrLong]
201504 20150409 1 Status Enabled Disabled NULL NULL
My question:
I created two fields (Old_ValueAtrLong and New_ValueAtrLong) dedicated for the one attribute that is a varchar (max). I was trying to avoid storing [Status] for example that's a varchar(200) in a field that is varchar(max). Is this the right approach? Or are there other recommendations in how to handle storing the data in the most efficient manner?

I'm trying to convert a column in my source table of datatype varchar(6) to a column of datatype int in my destination. I tried using the Derived Column/Data Conversion transformations but none of them worked. So, I tried using the following C# (credits to the original poster) and getting an error during compilation.
Note: "MyCol" is the Input Column I've specified in the Script Component and "CleanCol" is the Output column I've specified as datatype [DT_I4].
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
{
int colOut = 0;
if (!Int32.TryParse(Row.MyCol, out colOut))
{
Row.CleanCol_IsNull = true;
} else {
Row.CleanCol = colOut;
}
}
The best overloaded method match for 'int.TryParse(string, out int)' has some invalid arguments
The other expression I've tried was:
ISNULL(MyCol) ? (dt_i4)"" : (dt_i4)MyCol
From the above code, you might have understood that the source field has some blank records as well in the MyCol field.
What is the best possible way to do the conversion from a String to Int or fixing the error from the above.
