Hi,
I need to insert this command into a table, but I can't because.
insert XXX
set column1 = isnull(Title,'') +
case when (case when title is null then 1 else 0 end) = 1 then '' else ' ' end
+ isnull(Last_name,'') +
case when (case when First_name is null then 1 else 0 end) = 1 then '' else ' ' end
+ isnull(First_name,'') +
case when (case when Middle_initial is null then 1 else 0 end)= 1 then '' else ' ' +

What should one pass as a field value into a table in the insertstatement if the value contained a percentage symbol (%) or theasterisk symbol (*), since both of these have special wildcardmeanings. What if I want to pass the special meanings and pass them asliterals? Is there any escape character that I must use? I am usingADO.NET v1.1 of the framework with VB.NET. The database is MicrosoftSQL Server 2000.

I am trying to use this:
INSERT INTO BizNames ( [Key], [Name] ) VALUES ( 0, 'Bob's Lumber' );
The apostrophe embedded in the name value is giving me headaches. I tried using double-quotes and [] to delineate the value but then I get complaints that a "Name" is not allowed in this context.
How do you turn the embedded characters into an escape character so they can be ignored by SQL Server and passed into the table field.

In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks

I am probably a bit of dumb programmer but I am trying to get away from using cursors in my SQL stored procedures. I probably have my VB program code set in my mind but what is the alternative of doing something like this in T-SQL:
do while not recordset.eof
if condition is ok then
update blah blah blah set something = recordset("field")
end if
recordset.movenext
Loop
Can someone give me an example in T-SQl which can achieve the same thing? (Apart from calling SQL stored procedure using ADO within VB?)
Thanks

Hi Ya'll,
I tried searching for "escape character", "quotes", etc, but they didn't work.
I'm having troubling inserting data into my tables, if they have an apostrophe or double quotes. I know that MySQL's escape character is "", but I tried it for MS SQL and it didn't work. HOW DO I INSERT DATA INTO MY DB THAT HAS AN APOSTROPHE OR DOUBLE QUOTE? Thanks.

Hi,
I have a question with this query -
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE column1 = 'T_C_%';
This query returns rows where column1 = "T_Care", "T_CRP" etc etc, whereas I was expecting only rows where column1 = "T_C_Tail", "T_C_Head"
However, when I use an escape character(/), the results are more in the lines of the expected results.
Can somebody explain this?
cheers/- Pradeep

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

Hi,
I need to convert from mssqlto Postgres and I need to export all MS-SQL table data to a CSV or TXT file (one file per table)
Presumably, all data per row (of a table) must be in one line.
Then when you copy to another database, a new line of data means a new row in the table.
However, MS SQL is exporting a large varchar text field as multiple lines. The data itself is many lines, so exporting it causes the data for one row to fall onto many lines.
My question: How do I escape new lines? When MS SQL exports the data, I want to replace all NEW LINES / carriage returns by /n or by <br> tag (since the data will be for web use).
(pls note I am not actually handling the ms sql database, so any response would be greatly appreciated as I advise the person in charge of the mssql db accordingly).
Thanks a lot!

All,
What is the escape sequence in a stored procedure?
Here is what I'm trying to achieve:
ALTER PROCEDURE Test
(
@Func VarChar(1000)
)
AS
DECLARE @SQL VarChar(8000)
SELECT @SQL = 'SELECT DISTINCT TNAME FROM TABLE WHERE FUNC LIKE ' + @Func
Now, my goal is to add single quote (') before @Func and another one after that. For eg, if @Func is "Test", I want my query to be
SELECT DISTINCT TNAME FROM TABLE WHERE FUNC LIKE 'Test'
and NOT
SELECT DISTINCT TNAME FROM TABLE WHERE FUNC LIKE Test
Any help?

im having trouble getting this to work:
alter proc [ProGeneral_College_Structure] @Year nvarchar(4)
as
begin
DECLARE @SQLStatement nvarchar(1000)
Set @SQLStatement = 'SELECT School AS Level1Code, DIVISIONS.Div AS Level2Code,
DIVISIONS.ProgArea AS Level3Code, DIVISIONS.progName AS LevelName
, ' + SUBSTRING(@Year,1,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(@Year,3,2) + ' AS AcademicYearID FROM DIVISIONS
WHERE (((DIVISIONS.[' + @Year + '])=1))
ORDER BY DIVISIONS.School, DIVISIONS.Div, DIVISIONS.ProgArea'
EXEC(@SQLStatement)
end
It's something to do with the / concatenation I think, is it an escape character or something tried // obviously and CHAR(47).
before I get comments I know it's dynamic sql and it's not great but I can't edit the divisions table so have to use a dynamic column.

I have a problem setting some variables in a package using the /SET option of dtexec. Specifically when the value I want to set contains a semi-colon. I get an error like:
Argument ""Package.Variables[User::Delim].Properties[Value];^;"" for option "set" is not valid.
I am guessing that I will have to escape the semi-colons somehow, but with what?
Regards,
Lars

I am attempting to import a flat file and have come accross and issue that I do not know how to fix in SSIS. The issue is that some of the text fields use quoted identifiers. This is not an issue in itself. The problem is they also use quotes as escape character if quotes are on the field.
So I see instances of "" because inside the quoted field is a quote. How do i specify an escape character?

I've been installing SQL with a unattended install for awhile, and have the following settings in my install_configuration.ini file. I happened to come across a password with a quote in it today, what is the proper way to escape that quote? I've tried the standard backslash method, and found that to not work.
; SQL Server Agent Service Account
AGTSVCACCOUNT="DomainUserName"
AGTSVCPASSWORD="PasswordWith"AQuoteInIt"
; SQL Server Service Account
SQLSVCACCOUNT="DomainUserName"
SQLSVCPASSWORD="PasswordWith"AQuoteInIt"
; SSRS Service Account
RSSVCACCOUNT="DomainUserName"
RSSVCPASSWORD="PasswordWith"AQuoteInIt"
The cool thing is the install apparently tries a few time to authenticate before giving up, because it ends up locking out the account each time.

I need to use a modified SQL statement for a lookup component. It has an escape clause in it and this causes error:
select * from dbo.typecustomer where ? like '%'+type_subtype +'%'

Is this is a bug? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to find all instances of a string that contain the letters FSC. While I am able to find most of them, I am unable to find the ones wrapped in double quotes.
Query example:
Select *
from myTable
Where item like '%FSC%'
This works great with the exception of when FSC is surrounded by double quotes.
ex: MySentencecontains"FSC"
I have tried Replace with no luck.
