I am using sql server 2000 developer edition
My table defintion is as followin:
CREATE TABLE query_table (
id IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
qtext char (4000)
)
When i try to insert data with length more than 256 character
it only inserts only the first 256 characters.
Please, let me know why this is happening.
I have a situation where I need to migrate data from an older platform to a newer one. The data from the old system(s) will be available on DAT tapes. All database construction on the new system will be identical to the old one in size and schema, except for one table (call it "ARCHIVE").
If the ARCHIVE table on the old system is 210MB, and the ARCHIVE table on the new system has the same attributes but has been expanded to 380MB in size, can I simply restore the dump for the old table into the new ARCHIVE?
Empirically it works (I have done it with apparent success two times) but I seem to recall that backups are done by pages, and I'm concerned that there may be conditions not being met by simply doing the restore the way I'm planning to do it.
Also, are there any tests or checks built into SQL which I can use to check table integrity on the target ARCHIVE table after the restore?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best rgds,

Is it possible to make a text-field or something like that, which can contain more than 255 characters ?

I have two int fields in my database, CEOAnnualBonus and CEOBonus, and I want to return the value of whichever one has the larger value as CEOBonusCombined. I thought using COALESCE would do the trick like below but there are many cases where either CEOAnnualBonus or CEOBonus have a zero value instead of NULL and it doesn't work.
SELECT
COALESCE(CEOAnnualBonus, CEOBonus)
AS CEOBonusCombined
FROM tbenchmarktemp
WHERE Ticker='F'
Thanks for any help
I have a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 installed. Theserver is on small drive and we would like to upgrade to much largerharddrives. I've been hearing of problems using Ghost to get an imageand placing the image onto the new drive. I think this is more of aWindows 2003 problem, but this server is for nothing but the SQLServer databases. Does anyone have a clear method of moving thisserver to the larger drives?TIA.

I have written code to combine, delete redundant data in my system. The table structure remains the same, except I changed some INTs to TINYINTs.
When I do sp_spaceused, it tells me that number of rows is smaller(which is correct), but the datasize, and index_size is significantly larger AFTER the deletions.
I tried using shrink, but that doesn't seem to change anything.
When I right-click the database, and choose PROPERTIES, it also confirms that the database got significantly larger.
I am confused about how deleting data and changing to TINYINTs could make my database bigger. What would cause this?
Greetings all and thanks for reading this post.
Here is my situation... I have 2 fairly large databases. Full backups are 83gb & 63gb. I am in the process of moving these database to a new data center. I've taken full backups of these databases and shipped them to the new center. I have been taking transaction log backups (larger db every 24 hrs smaller db every 15 min ... from log shipping).
I want to restore these databases in the new data center. I've gone ahead and restored the dbs in the new location.
Question final cutover.. can I just apply the transaction logs to the databases on final cut-over or do I have to restore the database backup first then apply the transaction logs?
Is there an other way to do this that I'm missing?
Thanks.

I have replication setup between our main site and a remote one, and have recently noticed that the database at the remote site's .MDF file is about 3 times as large as the main site's. This doesn't seem to make sense since essentially all of our data is replicated between the two servers. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening and what is safe to do to shrink the remote file?
TIA

Hello.
I created SDF database files for "SQL compact" with a size larger than 128
MB (which is default for creation). Now when I try to open these files with
VS2005 I get the error "The size of the databasfile exceeds the configured
maximum...Required Max Databse size (in MB; 0 if unknown)" (translated from
german). The real problem is that I can not change the connectionstring in
VS, cause all field which show the connectionstring are readonly (greyed
out). I know I have to set the option "Max Database Size = 512" or so in the
connectionstring to get the things runnning, but don't know any way to do
that in VS2005.
My attempt to access the SDF files when copied to the device via active sync
results in the same error message.
This seems for me to be a design flaw, cause I can not add the optional
parameter to the connection string (even not in the details form, where only
"DataSource" and "Password" fields are displayed.
- Does anybody know a solution in VS2005?
- Does anybody have a workaround for me?
- Does anybody know where the connectionstrings of VS2005 are stored, so
that I may "hack" the connection string?
Thanks so far.
Hi,We have troubles when we try to use the 'dbuse' calls with databaseslarger than 28 characters, looks like the dbuse truncates the nameafter it.Any ideas ???
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have been trying for a while to use Power BI tools (Power Query, Power BI Designer (Desktop) and Power BI Designer (Cloud) in line with larger data sources ( 2-7m records in fact table). Unfortunately up to now with unsatisfactory results. It seems that these tools are just not designed to handle this kind of data volumes?
To my understanding it seems that the approach with PowerBI components is to always try to create a local (or cloud based) cache that only has a limited capacity. 2m+ records already seem to be exceeding this limit. So as opposed to firing off a query on demand (for example only based on distinct filter options as opposed to entire fact set) only the intermediary cache of the model can be used.
Our initial focus was to use a normalized table in SQL Server with around 4m records. First problem is that Power Query/Power BI Designer fails to provide a complete list of the distinct filter items:
This I can understand in some way as doing a distinct on a large data set like that is not trivial. As a workaround I could imagine to setup a star scheme dimension table with the distinct "dimension members". I.e. that filters are driven by this table which has only a few thousand rows. The filters there are then applied to the fact table. I haven't found a way to do this effectively with Power Query.
Another option that we have tried was using the cloud based Power BI service in conjunction with a SQL Cloud Service with the same data set. That unfortunately didn't work. The setup of the source works fine but as soon as we try to start a query by dragging a value field on the dashboard errors occur:
I created a report with RS in VS.NEt and set the width and height to 8.5in by 11in from the property window. When I designed it , everything fit on one page nice and neat.
When printed it prints on two pages and the font size comes out much larger than expected. The whole document seems to have been blown up bigger and the right side of the document has been cut off. Why is this? Do I need to configure vs.net to print????
Am I missing some setting somewhere?
Other documents print out fine on this printer, so it is not the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
this seems small but if I can't get the report to print out right then..........
I have an existing Access database that I need to transfer over to a more powerful back-end due to the need for larger size capacity. We need to be able to have a backend that can exist up to just about any size due to us scanning in documents by ODBC. With Access I know I was limited to about 4gb size and when split onto my current SQL server I have heard I will be stuck at 10gb? If so can you recommend a better backend, but my question is about the front end. I hear Windows WPF can be linked into SQL server but does this limit the size as well?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDear,
I created a package getting data from files and database sources, doing some transformations, retrieving dimension id's and then inserting it into a fact table.
Running this package with a limited amount of data (about a couple of 100.000 records) does not result in any errors and everything goes fine.
Now running the same package (still in debug mode) with more data (about 2.000.000 rows) doesn't result in any errors as well, but it just stops running. In fact, it doesn't really stop, but it doesn't continue as well. If I've only been waiting for some minutes or hours, I could think it's still processing, but I waited for about a day and it still is 'processing' the same step.
Any ideas on how to dig further into this in order to find the problem? Or is this a known problem?
Thanks for your ideas,

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
GO
DECLARE @msgstr VARCHAR(80)
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(80)
DECLARE @PMID INT
DECLARE @forename VARCHAR(30)
CREATE TABLE ##texttab (c1 text)

DECLARE C2 CURSOR FOR SELECT ProjMgrID FROM surdba.SVY_QUOTES WHERE StatusID=6
OPEN C2
FETCH NEXT FROM C2 INTO @PMID
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
IF @PMID > 1000
SELECT @forename = ISNULL(Forename,' ') FROM surdba.SVY_PERSONNEL_GENERAL WHERE EmployeeID = @PMID
ELSE
SET @forename = ' '
INSERT ##texttab values (RTRIM(@forename))

CLOSE C2
DEALLOCATE C2
INSERT ##texttab values ( ' - This information is autogenerated from the Survey database.')
SET @cmd = 'SELECT c1 FROM ##texttab'

@query = @cmd,
@no_header = 'TRUE'

I have a SQL server with multiple instances on it and would like to move one of them to a drive with more storage.
I have SQL 2010 on a server with 2 partitions.
The database is located on the C: drive (original build) but the drive isn't partitioned to handle a db of the size that this one will grow to. I would like to move the full DB instance to another partition.
We have a database we are replicating to about 8 SQL Express subscribers from a SQL 2012 SP2 publisher. The size of the database grew too large for the 10GB license limit for SQL Express and now replication refuses to replicate any of our deletions on the publisher to reduce the size of the database. I've come up with a few options below.
1) Drop one of the larger table indices on the subscriber database to get below the size restriction. Permit the replication to replicate the deleted records and then rebuild the index. (I'm not sure how important an index is to this table. Is it merely performance related?)
2) "Upsize" SQL Express to SQL Standard on the affected boxes. Allow the deletes to replicate. Backup the database, downgrade to SQL Express and restore the database back to SQL a new SQL express instance. This would involve a lot of work on each box. I'd like to avoid it if possible.
Hey I have what I think is a simple question. How would i insert an apostrophe into a sql string without getting an error. Thanks in advance
View 5 Replies View RelatedIt's probably a most basic operation but I can't find how to enable this. Using SQL Server 2005

INSERT INTO company VALUES (10001,"Apps'r'Us");

My code results in SQL statements like the following one - and it gives an error because of the extra single-quotes in 'it's great':
UPDATE Comments SET Comment='it's great' WHERE UserID='joe' AND GameID='503'

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near 's'.Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.

Hi:
Trying to insert null value into sql table, but not working, if I use:
if (strMyText.Length == 0) command.Parameters.Add("@Text", DBNull.Value); // or using:("@Text", null), or using:("@Text", DBNull) else command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Text", strMyText);
When I go back to table, I see the value is: 'NULL', has single quotation mark, suppose to be: NULL
Where is the problem?
Thanks a lot.

I have a problem in a stored procedure trying to insert a comma delimited list into rows.The parameters for example would be somthing like....
@GarageID int = 20,
@Cars nVarChar(200) = Ford~Fiesta,BMW~320,Volvo~340,Jaguar~XJS
I need to split where the comma is for each new row, and separate each value from either side of the '~' like so....
GarageID Make Model
--------------------------------
20 Ford Fiesta
20 BMW 320
20 Volvo 340
20 Jaguar XJS
I have a string stored in field v_images in table tbl_DealerFeed_temp. This string is split by the "|" character. I want to create a SQL query to grab this string, split it, and insert it into tbl_Vehicles_photos. I also need to pass the value d_id into the photos table:
tbl_Vehicles_photos:

I have a few columns in table with default value defined as zero length string (''). I want to insert record from DetailsView which uses SqlDataSource as DataSource. In the ItemInserting event, if the data is not valid, I want to use zero length string for the column. But I always get Null instead of zero length string. The code in ItemInserting event looks like this:
If objddl.SelectedIndex > 0 Then e.Values("myFld") = objddl.SelectedItem.ValueElse e.Values("myFld") = ""End If
The line: e.Values("myFld") = "" put Null in the column.
How can I set a column as zero length string using the SqlDataSource?
Any help is appreciated.

I have a string which is delimited by commas:
Green,Red,Blue,Orange,Black,White
I need to create a SQL statement to read the string, split it at the "," character, and insert it into individual rows. I also need to insert an ID (the same for all split values).
For instance:
INSERT INTO tbl_Temp (unique_id, ID, color) VALUES (1, 999, Green)
INSERT INTO tbl_Temp (unique_id, ID, color) VALUES (2, 999, Red)
INSERT INTO tbl_Temp (unique_id, ID, color) VALUES (3, 999, Blue)
etc...
I would like to be able to do this all in one statement so I don't have to break it out into individual SQL statements.
I have two tables:tb_news---story_id-productlisttb_lookup---story_id-productwhen an insert command is run on tb_news, productlist field ispopulated with a value such as 'abc, def, de'when this happens, i need tb_lookup to be populated with seperaterecords for each product in productlist and the story_id from tb_news.Example:INSERT INTO tb_news (story_id, product_list)VALUES (12345, 'abc, def, de')Results:tb_news--12345, 'abc, def, de'tb_lookup--12345, 'abc'12345, 'def'12345, 'de'Ideally, I would like this to use recursion and give me tha ability tochange the delimiter at any time (might not always be a comma). someproducts may have a period in them. number of products is unknown andmight be 0 (field may be empty or NULL).

FileName is coming as blank in db, while in debug mode i can see that it is being set with a proper filename. The other 2 params are inserting fine.
The FileName field is set as Text field with width length 255, and the incoming data is always shorter than 255 chars. The insertion happens without any errors/exceptions. I have also tried replacing the data for filename with a string like "Test", still it is inserting blank string.

I have a string with values value1,value2, value3, value(n) which I would like to append to my table.
In the second column of my table I have a parameter which stays the same, so I end up with (if the parameter value is "123456")
Column 1 | Column 2
123456 | Value1
123456 | Value2
123456 | Value3
I would like to set up a single SQL statement which will process this regardless of the number of values (therefore rows) desired.
Something like:
INSERT INTO dbo_tblUserLevelApplicationRequests ( Column1, Column2) select EmployeeNumberParam as EmployeeNumber, ((stringofvalues) as valuestring)
Is it possible to do this with a single SQL statement?
