Saving Carriage Return In A Nvarchar Field (SQL Server 2005)
Oct 26, 2006Hi,
As you can see, I'm totally new at Sql Server.
I have a problem, I store text into a nvarchar field (could be a 200 or 20,000 characters long string), inside the text there are several carriage returns which I would like to preserve to later presentation, but when retreiving the data from sql server I got the "cr" as "?", also I opened the database from Sql Managment and all cr's were saved as "?".
What can I do to preserve the cr inside each field ?
Thanks in advance.
UTF-8 String In Nvarchar Field
Jun 8, 2007Hi!
Is there any way to store UTF-8 encoded string in Nvarchar field? Or strings can be stored only in Unicode?
Search String Field (nvarchar) For Unicode Characters
Nov 8, 2006MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail:
SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records
However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Transact SQL :: NVARCHAR Field Getting Truncated After Increasing Field Length?
Aug 28, 2015I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.
It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:
Inserted Value -> Result in table
123456-8 -> 123456-8 *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567- *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789 *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567# *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9 *Correct
Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?
I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.

How To Compare Nvarchar(15), Char(5), And String
Jan 31, 2008I have used a query statement with the following WHERE string to 'Fill' a dataset.
"AND (A.ApptsDate > '" & strApptPreDate & "' OR (A.ApptsDate = '" & strApptPreDate & "' AND A.ApptsTime >= '" & strApptPreTime & "' ))" & _ and strApptPreTime is defined as:Dim strApptPreTime As String = SomaShared.strPadTime(CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Hour) + ":" + CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Minute))
Somehow, the dataset showed only the ApptsTime after 10 am. After more than 2 weeks of debugging, I still can see a dataset watch for > 10 amAppsTime only. Now I am guessting, the problem is 9 is different from 10 - 16, it all because 9 is single digit. Then I check the data type settings for these variables. Here are what I found:
In SQL Server Agent job, the ApptsTime data was 'inserted' by @NewApptTimes, which is declared as char(5).In SQL Server database, the ApptsTime was defined as nvarchar(15).
My question are: 1. The reason why there were no 9 am data for the dataset, is becasue 9 am of nvarchar(15) is not > 8:30 of strApptPreTime? 2. If the answer to the quation 1 is yes, how do I define AppsTime and/or strApptPreTime?
TIA,Jeffrey

So as the subject says, I have a few fields that are nvarchar but hold date information. Most of these fields I have been able to move to datetime easiliy enough, simply by going into edit mode for the table and converting the fields to datetime. But 1 field is giving me problems I keep getting this error.

The statement has been terminated.
I really dont know why I'm getting this error, but I"m assuming it may have to be something like one of the records may not be in date format. But I don't know if this is the case and I don't know how to locate where my problem is coming from.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

How Do I Insert A String Value With Quotes Into A Nvarchar Column
Jul 20, 2007I am reading data from another data source and storing it in the sqlce database. Some of the string values I'm trying to insert into the database have single quotes in the string (i.e. Johnny's Company). When I try to insert the values with the single quotes, it throws an exception. The code I use to insert the records is as follows:
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT sy_company " +
" (company_id, company, co_name, companyid) " +
"VALUES(" +
"'" + dtSYCompany.Rows[x]["company_id"] + "'," +
"N'" + dtSYCompany.Rows[x]["company"] + "'," +
"N'" + dtSYCompany.Rows[x]["co_name"] + "'," +
"'" + dtSYCompany.Rows[x]["companyid"] + "')";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
When the company name (co_name) has a single quote in it, I get the error. How do I write the insert statement so it will work even though the value being inserted into co_name has a single quote in it?
Thanks so much!

Converting Date Field From Informix To SQL Nvarchar
Apr 13, 2004I copying data from our Informix 7.2 database into SQL Server 2K using DTS but hitting errors during the process. There appears to be date data within Informix that will not convert properly when moving into SQL. Since the error is appearing at the 1.5million (approx.) record. I figured on changing from datetime to nvarchar. Works like a charm! :-)
My new problem is converting it back to datetime so I can query against the date without having to create scripts to parse the field.
The data in SQL currently looks like this -> 2000-11-29 (nvarchar(50))
I would like to have it -> 11/29/00 (datetime)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

NULL Values To Sequential Number (The Field Is Nvarchar Datatype)
Jun 16, 2012Ok I have upgraded my works database from a poorly designed Access database to a SQL database. The previous system allowed NULL values and duplicates to be inserted into a field that should NOT ALLOW NULL Values or duplicates. Therefore, this issue has now been moved across to my new system as I cannot set these constraints on the field that has multiple NULL values.
My solution would be to use a sequential operator, so whatever = NULL would be changed to a sequential number that us as administrators would know was a bogus number starting at something like = 999999900 counting up from that. There are only 250 records that would require updating.
To make things more interesting this field is not a integer type, its a Nvarchar type as its a Hardware ID. Both numerical and characters are require.
