Hi,
I'm seeing a problem with printing very long strings using the PRINT
command on a VARCHAR(MAX) variable. After a certain amount of
characters the string is truncated....it looks like the limit is at
around 8,000 characters.
Does anyone know of a solution or a workaround for this?
Hi guys,
I know that the PRINT statements only print after a certain process is done, not when the actual PRINT statment is executed. Can someone explain when exactly does it print them and is there a way to make the print statment show right away?
Do somebody know how long (in chars) script(command) can be solved by SQL Command?
Thanks
I am having an issue with report printing. I have used a specific font (Garamond) for all the report elements when creating the report in Bus Int. Dev. Studio. While printing from the preview pane, the report prints with the Garamond font (as intended).
But the issue is that after deployment, printing the report (with browser print control) does not print it with the Garamond font (looks like it is using the Arial or a similar font). This changes the whole look and feel of the report. I have tried printing the report from the reportserver, report manager and through URL access. All the 3 methods are giving similar results that the print output is not using the on-screen font.
Anybody else face similar issues? Is there any workaround for this? TIA.
Greetings,
I have a problem that I'm not sure how to handle. In the application I am working on I will be importing fixed length strings from a CD into the database. Each specific character in the string represents some value.
I can't decide if I should just create a single field of 895 characters or create 895 single character fields. When I need data from the database I won't need all 895 characters of information, I'll only need one or a small subset of values.
Does it really matter which approach I take?
Thanks in advance for any advice/tips you can provide.

I am using SQL Server Compact Edition and I get an exception when running a query with a LIKE-operator which parameter is a string with length greater than 256 characters.
Has anybody had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.
Here is the situation, please let me know if you have any tips:..TXT files in a share at \fooSPROCS run daily parses of many things, including data on that share. Theother day, we encountered rows in the TXT files which looked like:column1Row1data,column2Row1datacolumn1Row2data,column2Row2data...etc..However, column2 was about 6000 bytes of unicode. We are bulk insertinginto a table specifying nvarchar(4000). When it encounters high unicoderows, it throws a truncation error (16).We really need information contained in the first 200 bytes of the string incolumn2. However, the errors are causing the calling SPROC to abort.Please let me know if you have any suggestions on workarounds for thissituation. Ideally, we would only Bulk Insert a sub-section of column2 ifpossible.Thanks!/Ty
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 varchar(255) variables that both have 255 characters of data
I want to ' select @text1+@text2'
the above statement will only select the first variable
if I try ' insert into tempTbl(textFieldDataType) values (@text1+@text2) only the @text1 is inserted
However is the two variables have only less data as to not exceed 255 combined everything works fine
What would be the work around for this?
if I 'print' a MONEY value, or cast a MONEY variable to VARCHAR, it automatically rounds it to two decimal places. Maybe that's a built-in convenience, but I'd like to make it not do that.My workaround right now is to first cast my MONEY variabled to DECIMAL(30,4), and then cast the result to VARCHAR, but I'd like to avoid that step if possible.Consider the following
query:DECLARE @UnitCost MONEY SET @UnitCost = .0167 SELECT @UnitCost,
CAST(@UnitCost AS VARCHAR(30)),
CAST(CAST(@UnitCost AS DECIMAL(30, 4)) AS VARCHAR(30)) -
- Results in: 0.0167, 0.02, 0.0167
Say i have a COLUMN name varchar(20)
NAME:
----
john
john/a
john/b
john/a/a
------
I want to find the LONGEST NAME in the column and I am trying to use
: Select MAX(name) from tablename
SQL 2000 gives the max as per alphabetical order and in the above example the MAX is john/b
IS there any direct SQL statement to get the MAX name where MAX refers to the LONGEST in terms of length .
I have been able to do it with 2 sql statements where i first find the longest length and then give a query where i match the length..But is there any simpler way??

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi All,
i am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select rows from the source based on the Name I enter during execution time. I have created two variables,
enterName - String packageLevel (will store the name I enter)
myVar - String packageLevel. (to store the query)
I am assigning this query to the myVar variable, "Select * from db.Users where (UsrName = " + @[User::enterName] + " )"
Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, enterName,. I select that and when I click on OK am getting this error.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object.".
Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?
myVar variable, i have set the ExecuteAsExpression Property to true too.
Please let me know where am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
I have a table containing URLs. I want to be able to look up an URL veryfast, so I used an nvarchar to store the URL, and put an index on it(maybe naive).Anyway, I bump into:"The index entry of length 911 bytes for the index 'UQ__URL__1367E606'exceeds the maximum length of 900 bytes."What's the best way to handle this? I want to do the look up fast. Theonly thing I could think up was adding an extra column containing a digestfor the URL, and look up all URLs with the same digest, *and* having thesame value (which could give either 1 or 0 results).I am new to MS SQL, so I might describe a silly solution, basically I wantto look up URLs to ID the fastest way possible.--John MexIT: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/personal page: http://johnbokma.com/Experienced programmer available: http://castleamber.com/Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html

I've two tables that I've made from some query subsets. Each table has a varchar field with notes/memos and I want to concatenate the fields into one long field.
The problem I'm running into is that when I run the query to check the concatenation, the field is truncated maybe 256 chars in.
I tried converting and casting the field as nvarchar 4000, and I've also done the same for the fields in the two tables, but that doesn't seem to help.
I can query for the fields from each table and none of them are truncated by themselves. It only happens after I concatenate them.
I've created a new table and inserted the results into it, but the field in it is also truncated.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Hi,
I need to modify existing table in my database to varchar(max) from varchar(2000)

I need to handle this conversion in SSIS and not on oracle.
The following expression is executed on a datatype of dt_str with a length of 8000.
SUBSTRING((DT_STR,8000,1252)Column_name,1,8000)
Records longer then 4000 bytes take an error path
The next expression with 4000 bytes works but there is truncation.
SUBSTRING((DT_STR,4000,1252)Column_name,1,4000)
Basically I need to know how to cast a text or ntext into a varchar or nvarchar using ssis but I need to capture the first 8000 byes without truncation.
is this possible?
Using SSIS Reading From oracle I can convert to a text or ntext field but I am having a hard time going directly to a varchar.
count record from database and assign that value in a variable.and now i want to print that variable in table in td (column)Please tell me how can i?

Hi everybody,
In SQL Server is there a quick way to automatically insert empty value instead of NULL? I have a long Insert-SQL command with LEFT JOIN and don't want to use ISNULL for every field.
Researching on this in the meantime myself and I believe there is no way.
Thanks in advance.

I have created a kind of search function in my Excel sheet where the user can select multiple items from different listboxes.
To save the items I use an array. So in one case only 1 items off the array is filled, but another time maybe 3 items are filled in the array.
I use the array to search in a SQL database (this is string rva(i) in the code). But when the array is empty it results in an error.
This is what I have so far. (the rule at the bottom won't work also )
rc.Open "SELECT [Datum],[RvA_Nr], [RvA_Letter], [Afdeling], [EVAL], [Matrix], [Component], [AS3000], [AP04], [Rec] FROM dbo.QHSE_2ndline_history " _

Hello guys!
I am looking for the best DataType that makes it possible to store strings of variable length (from 15 to 300 caracters, rarely longer).
Thanks a lot for any help !

HI All. I'm trying to tweak the Transfer Logins task to exclude Windows Logins that are local to the Server (e.g. servernameusername) which obviously can't be transferred off the server. Annoying that we have a couple of local Logins on this system instead of all Domain Groups, but we're stuck with them due to firewall issues, and a policy excluding SQL Logins.
My idea is to create a text file as part of my Package that lists Logins to be Excluded From the Transfer - I think I then need to create a New File Connection to the Text File as a Connection Manager, then somehow get that data into a Variable, and then use an Expression to populate the 'LoginsList' Collection from syslogins where loginame not equal to logins in my textfilevariable?
Or maybe I'm over complicating this, and there's an easier solution? Lots of info in Books Online about Expressions and Variables, but having trouble finding examples that I can use. As a DBA, this is my first foray into SSIS, and as you can possibly tell, I'm floundering....
Hi All,
Could you guys please help me with printing reports invoked thru command line/ URL access to print automatically to specific printers and specific trays and also is it possible to set the specific printer and tray as parameters.
Any suggestions is appreciated
Thanks A lot in advance

I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. For example if the variable is 12 the output should be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) . But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
Hi,
What I am trying to achieve is renaming a table by appending a timestamp value if the table exists!
But I am using a varchar variable to achieve the same.
I feel am stuck as what I need to do is rename the table and use the new name to query that table.
This is what I am doing.
DECLARE @NewTableName varchar(100)
IF OBJECT_ID('TableName') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SET @NewTableName = 'ExistingTableName' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),GETDATE(),126)
END
Please let me know if there is a way to achieve the table renaming and querying the renamed table!
So I have been asked by our sustainability person to create report from our printing data that actually shows the number of pieces of paper used. This is easy enough for single-sided printing, but when printing in duplex the software does not take into account that 3 printing pages actually equates to 2 pieces of paper. I know this sounds simple, but say I have a print job record that looks like this:
Submitted printed total_pages duplex
8/10/2015 8/10/2015 42 1
This is a print jobs that if done correctly is actually 21 pages( duplex printing). If the job is say total_pages =5 I cant just divide by 2 because its actually using 3 pieces of paper ( yes they are wanting this data don't ask why). How can I adjust some sql to accurately depict 5 pages, front and back, as 3 pieces of paper?
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
Thanks!
Guys.
I have some data like this one:
'UploadfilesCompanyIDProjectCodeFilesFile1.doc'
P.S: the values may vary each time.
I need to programmatically extract from that kind of string only file1.doc
Ho can I dynamically do it? any function? statement? etc? please help.
The idea is getting only the string after the last ""
Thanks

Hi, is there a type of data that we don't need to specify the length but can grow dynamically?instead of using varchar 2000, a type that acts like a varchar but the length is unlimited ....Thanks,
