Hi,
I have a problem with a text string which is more than 8000 chars.
I am taking this string as an input from an application.so,I cannot define a local variable as text or ntext and varchar has limitation of only 8000 char.
Can anyone help me in dealing with this situation.
Also,I cannot break the string at application level.I wish if I could solve it at db level somehow?
TIA

hi all, I'm after a way to produce a single-lined output of a char/varchar string replicated over 8000 times.
basically I've been given a task to create a stored procedure which can accept any integer to replicate a string X times.
From what I've read the replicate() fn will covert to varchar of max 8000 bytes.
I've thought about creating a UDF to accept the varchar and int and run a loop to keep outputting but 'print' will pass an endline to the buffer which is no good for my loop.
Any help would be great on this. Thanks.
Is there any possibility to store more then 8000 chars in a column?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAny way to parse out a text value (not varChar, using text data type) that is > than 8000 characters long? I'm looping through 1 big string passed to the DB that is pipe delimited, but I find myself needing the substring function to keep track of which segment I'm acting on (after an update, I then need to take that segment and remove it from the string)...but the subString function won't take anything larger than 8000 chars.
Say I have this string that is text data type...
'aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|....'
..and so on, surpassing 8000 char length, how could you parse it out using the pipes as the delimter, then do an Update using that segment? Afterward, return to that string and find the next segment, then use it, and so on (in a loop). I tried using an update to set the string = replace(string, segmentJustUsed, '') to "erase" it, but replace can't take text as the datatype. Any help? Hope this isn't to confusing.
Books Online gives a way to send a message larger than the VARCHAR max of 8000 chars, but the @query argument to xp_sendmail is a simple text string and my data is much more complex, and formatted. Also BOL shows an example using a temporary text file, but it is not clear precisely how you write your insert statements. I tried the following, which writes out all the data and sends it ok except, after each row, there is about a page of blank spaces. What is wrong with my syntax?
SET LANGUAGE British

DECLARE @msgstr VARCHAR(80)

Say I have a column called 'NAME' in a table called 'CLIENT' and the values in NAME are Surnames or company names like:
NAME
----------------------
1-FOR-ALL
A.B. SMITH (TOOLS LTD)
BROWN
THOMSON
VW CAR SALES
I want my select to return the first 3 characters, excluding special characters (only characters between 1 and z).
In example, the following would be returned for the data above:

Hi All
I have loaded some data to the application using flat files
which has non english chars.
all the columns in the database are NVARCHAR type.
but in db and in application UI, the non english chars are being diplayed as junk chars. ???121
The application supports UTF-8 format
is there any setting at db level to be modified to display the non english char set as is.
Thanks
Hi,
I am very new to using SSIS.
Trying to import data from MS Access 2000.
I receive the error "
[OLE DB Destination [1907]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "GENDER" with a length of 255 to database column "GENDER" with a length of 2. " on the source flow.
I have done some googling and came up with this post: http://torontosql.dotnetnuke-portal.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32233 which I thought may help, but it does not.
The query against the access datasource features the column: iif([sex]=1, 'm', 'f'). I tried using left(..., 2) as well, but SSIS is determind to treat the field as 255 characters for some reason.
I don't even particualrly care that the field is 255 chars and the sources is only two, I just want the data in! I have other fields coming up with similar error.
Can someone please advise?
PS, what is th significance of the "External Columns" Vs "Output Columns" on the Input and Output Properties tab in Advanced Editor?
I am really struggling with SSIS, it is not as intuitive as DTS.

Is there a way to create a datatype other than varchar that is greater than 8000? :o
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there's a way to use the string function replicate() to produce an output greater than 8000 bytes. From the documentation REPLICATE returns a varchar of max 8000 but I'm told there's a way to stop this restriction.
My mentor has been giving me tasks to try and accomplish and for this one I'm to create a stored procedure with no limitations, however I'm stuck at this replicate() problem.
Any help or guidance would be great.

Hi,
I have a MDX query which is of an aprox length of 10000 characters. I
have to execute the query from within the stored procedure in sql. To
run this query I use the openrowset method.
If the length of my query is less than 8000 characters my query
executes perfectly, but the moment it exceeds 8000 characters it stop
working. Please suggest a solution for the same.
Sample Code:
declare @mdxqry varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)
set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '
set @mdxqry = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
' +
'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '
set @mdxqry = @mdxqry +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''
set @mdxqry = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'
exec(@mdxqry)
I have already tried splitting my query into smalled chunks and
executing it, but still I face the same problem.
This is how I have Done it:
declare @mdxqry1 varchar(8000)
declare @mdxqry2 varchar(8000)
declare @SearchCond varchar(8000)
set @SearchCond = @SearchCond + '
[ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("AS Date") <= "' + @TDate
+ '" '
set @mdxqry1 = '''WITH ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Difference] as ''''[Measures].[Expected Interest
Amount] - [Measures].[Adjusted Interest]'''' ' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period] as ' +
'''''iif(cdate([ProductsAccounts].CurrentMember.properties("Closed
Date")) < cdate("' + @ToDate + '"), "Yes", "No")''''' +
'MEMBER [Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment] as
''''iif([Measures].[Loan Closed Before Last Instal]=1, "Yes", "No")''''
'
set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT ' +
'{[Measures].[Expected Interest Amount], [Measures].[Adjusted
Interest], [Measures].[Difference], ' +
'[Measures].[Zero Interest Transactions],
[Measures].[ClosedBeforeLastInstallment], ' +
'[Measures].[Loan Closed within Report Period]} ON 0, '
set @mdxqry2 = @mdxqry2 +
'{Filter([ProductsAccounts].[Account Id].Members, (' + @SearchCond +
'))} on 2, ' +
@BranchFilter +
'FROM InterestAnalysis'''
set @mdxqry2 = 'SELECT a.* FROM
OpenRowset(''MSOLAP'',''DATASOURCE="SERVERNAME"; Initial
Catalog="DATABASENAME";'',' + @mdxqry + ') as a'
exec(@mdxqry1 + @mdxqry2)

I have the following SQL select query:
Code:
SELECT
inbound_emails.inbound_email_id,
inbound_emails.campaign_id,
campaign_header.campaign_name,
customers.customer_name,
inbound_emails.date_received,
[Code] ....
Without any indexes (other than PK's) this query would take 1min 21 secs to return all 8500 records.
I wasn't satisfied with that so I added indexes to the tables.
Indexes are;
inbound_emails:
PK: inbound_email_id
1. campaign_id (non-unique, non-clustered)
2. email_from (non-unique, non-clustered)
3. email_to (non-unique, non-clustered)
campaign_header:
PK: campaign_id
1. campaign_name (unique, non-clustered)
customers:
PK: customer_id
1. customer_name (unique, non-clustered)
contracts:
PK: contract_id
1. contract_name (unique, non-clustered)
2. customer_id (non-unique, non-clustered)
Have I made a hash of the indexes? Or is the query statement badly written? What is a reasonable amount of time to expect to retrieve 8500 records?
I think email_from and email_to on inbound_emails is the main culprit, but I don't understand why?
Hi
I have a BULK INSERT task to do, inserting
contents of a file per row.. (not lines total contents of text files)
but it seems 8000 is the max size of a field in SQL 2000 ?
is this the case ?
In SS 2000 it seems that there is no variable data type that can hold more than 8000 characters (varchar) or 4000 unicode characters (nvarchar). I've seen posts where multiple variables are spliced together to extend this limit. I am looking at performing string manipulations in an sproc and I need to be able to deal with the full 2GB/1GB limit of text and ntext field types. Is this possible? How do you deal with that?

Hi,
I had a VARCHAR(MAX) parameter declared in my stored procedure and trying to concatenat single column from a table which has~500 rows into a string and keep in this variable, if i am not mistaken, i read that the VARCHAR(MAX) actually can hold up to 2GB of data, so it make me confuse why the variable which i declared as MAX size, can only hold up 8000 characters, any idea?

I am trying to change a text field into a varchar 8000.
I get his error message when trying to convert.
Unable to modify table.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot create a row of size 8317 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The statement has been terminated.
Anyone know of a way to either truncate the text field or
to select only those that are over the 8000 character mark?
Please advise
Thanks

I was trying to build a string based on one field from one table in Stored Procedure. I know if I declare A VARCHAR variable for the string, it won’t allow to exceed 8000. If does, it will truncate the reminding parts of the fields. What might be the simple solution for that? Even though I know I might need to use several substrings but how?
Thanks!

Hi, everyone, I want to know is there a way for me to set varchar to store more than 8000 characters? (I did checked from sql server books online and i know that the maximum storage for varchar, but i just want to know is there any exceptional way for me to store more than that).
Thanks for any reply.

Hi,
I wrote this sql function which takes a comma seperated string of numbers, splits the numbers seperately and stores it in a table. I have specified the input parameter type as text instead of varchar, the size of the string can get more than 8000.
But the function is not working properly if the input size is more than 8000. For example if the input string is of length 8005 and this is the input string from 7995 to 8005 - '123,124,125'. It works fine till 123 and after that it throws an error, Syntax error converting the varchar value '124,125' to a column of data type int. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I am using string functions like charindex, substring. I can post the full function if you want.
Thanks.

Hello,
We have migrated a sql server 2000 database to sql server 2005, this was done through scripts (table, stored procedures and data).
To access this database we are using an ASP.Net 2.0 application which uses the sqlhelper Aplication Block to connect to the database.
Everything works fine except one Stored Procedure which has an OUT varchar(8000) parameter.
We use the following .Net Code to execute the stored procedure this stored procedure:
aParams[2] = sSerDatos.GetParameter("@DominiosMenu", DbType.String, 8000);
aParams[2].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
sSerDatos.ExecuteNonQuery("VM_SDominiosMenu", aParams)
When we invoque the sqlcommand we get this sqlexception:
The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 3 ("@DominiosMenu"): Data type 0xE7 has an invalid data length or metadata length.
If we change the DbType.String Size to 4000 in the .Net code everything works, this same procedure work correctly in SQL Server 2000 with the same .Net code.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
I have this sql statement in a stored procedure
SELECT @sql=@sql + '''' + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + ''' = ' + stuff(@sumfunc,charindex( '(', @sumfunc )+1, 0, ' CASE ' + @pivot + ' WHEN ' + @delim + convert(varchar(100), pivot) + @delim + ' THEN ' ) + ', ' FROM ##pivot
in the statement, where @sql is defined as DECLARE @sql varchar(Max). the problem is that this statement produces results that are in excess of 8000 characters and the results are truncated. Is there anyway to avoid this? I know that it's not possible to user ntext/text as a local variable, and if i try to return the result as an ouput paramater, only the first result is returned.
my code is based off of this article http://www.sqlteam.com/article/dynamic-cross-tabs-pivot-tables
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi
I need to pass the where clause of my statement as an input parameter for a stored procedure. As this is built dynamically within the program (Borland C++), it could sometimes exceed the maximum 8000 bytes of a varchar. I thought of sending in two input paramenters and concatenating them into a memo in the sql, but cannot seem to be able to execute the memo variable (i.e. exec(memo) doesn't work). Is there any other options for passing in such a huge parameter.
Also, I do not think there is any other option than passing in the where clause: passing in seperate parameters and building the clause in sql would require over 300 parameters to be passed, and as the possible number of combination is indefinate, I cannot have a different Stored Procedure for each potential case.
Thank you

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.
I have a field name call firstname and other field middleinit, now the table contains data. and i want to extract data, the firstname field sometimes contains the middle initial, for for example JOHH D.
now I would like to set the firstname field with JOHN only and and set the middleinit field like D only
