Datatype Character Limit
Feb 7, 2007I am trying to store long text so I gave the field in question the TEXT datatype. But it only lets me store 1023 characters. I was expecting (but not quite needing) 2,147,483,647 characters when using the TEXT datatype. Can some one point out what I am missing.
Great forum, my first post, ahhh....
I will continue to search the forum for my answer. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sep 11, 1998I am developing a simple ASP based form, that stores user info in MS SQL server. I have created a table in the SQL server to store the data and defined the body field with this line: `body char(255)`. The problem is that if the user inputs a string longer then 255 characters it gets choped off. How would you suggest solving this problem? Should I use `text` datatype instead?? Any comments are very appreciated !!!

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat Is The Right Datatype To Store Hours Up To The Minute Precision?
Jan 28, 2006Right now the database I am working with is storing time inan Integer data type and is storing the time value in seconds.The application does not allow entering seconds. It acceptsminutes and hours.I have a report where it is doing:SELECT SUM(TIMEENTERED)and the SUM is *blowing* up as the SUM is reachingthe BIGINT range.I can fix the problem by changing all codes to:SELECT SUM(CAST(TIMEENTERED AS BIGINT))But now that I ran into this problem I want to find outif storing the time in seconds using INTEGER datatype is the best solution?I've been searching this newsgroup and other placesthe whole day. I even ran into my own three year oldpost. Three years ago my problem was data migrationrelated and now it is more of performance related thananything else.http://groups.google.com/groups?as_...y=2006&safe=offI could not find this specific topic in SQL books likeSQL for Smarties 2005 by Joe Celko (very good stuff ontemporal topics but nothing specific to my question),or Inside SQL Server 2000.Which data type would be ideal and why?smalldatetime?integer?decimal?float?The type of operations that are being done in the databaseare:1- Entering time in hours on work done on a taskFor the data entry part, the application accepts2.5 as 2 and a half hours and it is storing2.5 * 3600 = 9000 seconds.It also accepts entering 2:30 as 2 hours and30 minutes and again storing 9000 seconds.I even saw a page where you can enter clocktime: I worked from 9:30AM to 12:45PMas an exampleWhen i checked the underlying table(s) I sawthat the ENTEREDTIME is always the durationin seconds. So the data entry can either be2.5 hours where ENTEREDTIME = 9000 secondsor9:00AM to 11:30AMwhere STARTDATE is today's date for examplestored as 1/27/2005 09:00AMand where ENTEREDTIME = 9000 seconds2- All kinds of reports showing total time in hoursfor example: Project1 = 18.5 hoursThe code in the SP are all like:SUM(ENTEREDTIME) / CAST(3600 AS DECIMAL(6,2))AS TOTALTIME3- I am sure a lot of other arithmetic calculations arebeing done with this ENTEREDTIME field.What would be the best way to store hours/minutesbased on how we are using Time in the database?Either I will stick with Integer but store in minutestime instead of calculating in seconds and most likelyupdate all the SUM(ENTEREDTIME) toSUM(CAST(ENTEREDTIME AS BIGINT))or I will switch to storing in decimal/float andmaybe avoid doing :SUM(ENTEREDTIME) / CAST(3600 AS DECIMAL(6,2))AS TOTALTIMEsince the ENTEREDTIME would already be storedin hours time.or I will use DATETIME since in the cases ofI worked from 9:00AM to 11:30AMI have to have a separate column to store the date also.I am a little confused I am hoping I will get some helpfrom you and maybe if I can't find the best solution, atleast eliminate the NOT so good ones I am thinking of.Thank you
View 1 Replies View RelatedStore Column With Date Datatype In MM/DD/YYYY Format?
Oct 16, 2015We are on SQL Server 2012 and I was wondering if you store the values in the columns with "date" or "datetime" datatype in MM/DD/YYYY format? Currently I am storing them as Varchar(10) using the Cast &Â Convert function to preserve "fomatting" but it would be great to do that in the date/ datetime datatype as well -- is that possible?
Note that this is not for a transnational table but for a data warehouse project. I have three fields in the date dimension each with it's own usage: INT (e.g. 20151016), DATE & VARCHAR.
MSDE Text Datatype - Unable To Store More Than 900 Characters. (msde + Visual Studio 2003)
Jun 6, 2005Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.

Numeric Datatype To Ssis Variable Datatype Conversion Problem
Apr 24, 2008
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

Read Chinese Character From SQL(SQL Server 2005) Database Table Column And Display Chinese Character
Feb 1, 2008Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks

The ' Character
Nov 16, 2006Hello all.
Ok this is going to be a little hard to describe but here goes
I have a table within which one column is used to store a SQL select statement as a string. This means that the whole select statement has to be enclosed within two ' characters. The problem is that the SQL statement itself contains these characters. The specific SQL statement i wish to save as a string is:
select
'<A HREF=DisplayOnlyDiscipline?SESSION_ID=' + :SESSION_ID +
'&DISP_REF=' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) +
'&EDIT_REF=' + :EDIT_REF + '>' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) + '</A>' as Reference,
V.DESCRIPTION as Discipline_Stage,
DISP_DATE as Date
from
DISCPLIN D
left outer join
V_DISP V on (V.CODE = D.DISP_CODE)
where
EMPLOY_REF = :EDIT_REF
order by
DISP_DATE DESC
Can anyone suggest how i get round this?
thanks for reading peeps
