I know that similar items have been posted before but I have not found a solution to my issue by reading them.
I have a text field which holds amendment details and it cannot be updated through QA. I have 50 records which I have had to manually update through Enterprise Manager. I have been able to edit the amendment details field of 48 of these records. However for 2 records the amendment details field contains <long text> and as we all know, there does not seem to be an easy way to edit these.
Before I give up for good, does anyone have any suggestions?
Help much appreciated.

Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql. When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example: http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited? Could it be something else? Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, Chris
I have a textbox field that take 2000 characters from user..Then I used a store procedure to save that user input into database through an insert statement, but for some reason it just never store the whole string of 2000 characters but only store some of it (like 100 or something) .. Seems like a data type problem…(I am using SQL server 2000)
I have to output as one filed name, mailing address, and phone of each company that we do business with. the out put must look as follows: Company Name Store number: ##### Street Address 1 Street Address 2 City, State Zip + 4 Phone: (###) ###-####
Each piece of data is a single field and will have to be concatenated into one. How do I force the line breaks where I need them?
Also each piece of data will be compared to a €śsource€? for validity and I will need to mare the individual data pieces red where €śwrong€?. Like so: VALID MY DATA Company Name Company Name Store number: ##### Store number: ##### Street Address 1 Street Address 1 Street Address 2 Street Address 2 City, State Zip + 4 City, State Zip + 4 Phone: (###) ###-#### Phone: (###) ###-####
Any ideas on how to do this? I have used IIF for conditional formating of field colors in the past, but my expierence is that it changes the WHOLE display field not just piece of data the IIF is wrapped around.
I have an very long ntext field, made up of many sentences that I append a full stop to every one, I also strip out any line breaks within the text. However I get this error, when I look it up it comes up with "Failed to locate the ending boundary of a sentence."
When I'm designing a merge join in BIDs, in particular a large one with say a couple hundred columns on the left part of the join (and only 1-2 columns on the right side), it takes 2-3 minutes to close and I notice it pegs the CPU on the computer during that time. I'm developing on a quad dual core 64 bit machine with 32 Gb of RAM.
What makes this problematic is if you have a several merge joins in the pipe, and you do something like add a column. Then you have to re-open every merge join to include that column, waiting 2-3 minutes for it to close. So adding a column to a pipe with 10 merger joins will take 20-30 minutes, most of which is just waiting for edit boxes to close. I've tried the options of "work offline" and setting the ValidateExternalData to false in the merge join property but those don't help. Anyone encounter this problem?
Hi,I have a problem to insert(update) a long text (more than 64K) intoSQL 2000 (datatype - 'text'). It cuts the data and insert only 64K.MSDN says: "When the ntext, text, and image data values get larger,however, they must be handled on a block-by-block basis. BothTransact-SQL and the database APIs contain functions that allow applications towork with ntext, text, and image data block by block." Could somebodygive me an example how to do this, please.Thank you

I have a challenge and am not very versed with coding this situation. The situation is I am trying to put long text (more that 255 char) in a ntext field in SQL7, but the max char can input is only 255. Anyone can advice on how to put in more that 255 char in a field as well as how to select back the record whice more than 255 char.
Please give advice if you encounter this problem before.
Anyone have same sample on how to put in and retrive long text (more then 255 characters). Please Comment.

You should use readtext and writetext to access text column. By the way, nchar and nvarchar can hold up to 4000 characteres.

How long exactly is the text datatype in non-unicode characters for SQLS7? I guess I need to find out how long my input is and break it up into multiple text fields, but what's the max length?
I have tranferred my database from Access to SQL. In some cases where there is a very long text in the field of "content" (thats the name of the field) appears the sign <Long Text> while in some other fieldsof the "content" the text appears normally...

I have a database table that is populated by bulk insert of a text file. This file is not comma delimetated and there are no line end characters, just one very long string, although the file is fixed length.
As I said I now have this long string in my SQL Server 2005 table. Is there a fast way to split this up into multiple rows?
Say for instance I have a string of 100 characters and each row would be made up of 10 characters. Is there a easy way to split this into the 10 rows or 10 characters using just a SQL statement?
Newbie here, just wanted to get that out of the way first and foremost.
Im trying to set up a DB in SQL 2000 that allows me to enter lots of text into a column.
I read one site where it said to use the NTText datatype with a length of 16. I did that, but everytime I enter alot of text into that column I get <Long Text> and I dont know how to output that or even read it.
Do any of you guys know how to either:
1. get the text out of the <long text> or 2. a better way to store that much data.
Hi,I asked this in an MS Access newsgroup, but no one has answered. Since italso applies to SQL Server, maybe someone in here has an answer? I actuallydo have the same problem in both SQL Server 2000 and Access 2000.When I click in certain records in a memo field, I get the error message"text too long to be edited", and I can't get into the record to make anychanges.I tried exporting the record to html, but only part of the memo field isexported.I know that in SQL Server, you can increase the size of the field, but youcan't do that in an Access memo field (that I know of!).I'm thinking that if I could get into the field and lose some of the whitespace, it would help, but I can't get into the field, and can't get the dataout, either!Does anyone know anything about this?Thanks, Jill~

I have a question that has a co-worker and myself confused. We are using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. When I select return all rows in my tables, any content that is too long will appear as <Long Text> on my co-workers machine, but the column is blank on my machine. Is there a property or configuration that enables/disables <Long Text>? I am confused as to why it appears on other machines, but not mine.
I have an ASP page that will take form info that a user has entered,then save it into SQL server, and retrive and display the info onanother page. My problem is with long text data (10,000 bytes ormore). It appears to save the long text data, as in it gives noerrors... but it does not save it. In the SQL table, the field isdefined as ntext... So why won't it save?Thanks in advance,adam
Hi everybody,i try to send messages longer than 7990 characters from a text fieldin SSQL2000. Unfortunatly the messages get cut off after 7990character.I did everything which is described in BOL (see below). It does notsolve the problem. Upgraded to newest Outlook Client and tried to sendas an attachment also. No success though.Does anybody have a hint before i contact Microsoft.RegardsYorn Ziesche[color=blue]>E. Send messages longer than 7,990 characters[/color]This example shows how to send a message longer than 7,990 characters.Because message is limited to the length of a varchar (less rowoverhead, asare all stored procedure parameters), this example writes the longmessageinto a global temporary table consisting of a single text column. Thecontents of this temporary table are then sent in mail using the@queryparameter.CREATE TABLE ##texttab (c1 text)INSERT ##texttab values ('Put your long message here.')DECLARE @cmd varchar(56)SET @cmd = 'SELECT c1 FROM ##texttab'EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail 'robertk',@query = @cmd, @no_header= 'TRUE'DROP TABLE ##texttab
I have a dtsx package that works fine with one exception. When I open the dtsx package in BI, it gives me the following message:
Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file?
When I respond yes, the package opens and I can edit or execute with no problem. Still, I want to understand what could cause this message to occur and, more importantly, how I can get rid of the message. When I try to simply execute the package I still get the same error and it seems this will be a problem for trying to run the package from SQL Server agent.
It seems likely to me that this message refers to the dtsx file (in xml format) itself. Does that make any sense?
Hi, In my Excel file I have one column "Summary" which contains large amounts of data. In ExcelSource I changed the Output Column: Summary datatype to Unicode[DT_Ntext], but I am not able to chnage the External column datatype from [DT_WSTR] to [DT_NTEXT]. Initilly it is string so changed to unicode. Still I am getting this error: "Failed to retrieve long data for column " Summary". I tried the BlobTempStoragePath to other directory? Still not working. How to solve this error? Thanks in advance
The length of the longest polygon coordinates record is about 115,000 characters. I believe the varbinary(MAX) type should hold that data, but SQL throws a truncation error every time I try to import the data.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I need all the advise and help I can get on this ... so please post anything you think would work ... A little confused I am: Have a database table called "people" with "person name" and "ID" field. My ASP.NET application mainly stores articles in article table. An article's Article text mentions various people's names in different combinations (e.g. John, Smith, John Smith, Smith John, etc) Is there any way, I could compare the article text stored in article table with people table and get the people from people table along with their ID's who have been mentioned in that article? ... so in an article "i love john smith ... and i think Mr smith has always been helpful", I get John Smith back... Not too sure being honest, what is the best way of implementing this, looking for the most efficient way, probably using XML? SQL Query or may be ASP.NET's code behind? Thanks once again for taking the time. Cheers, Tyro
