I'm trying to insert a string expression into a varbinary field. I've tried it several ways, but the data does not seem to get inserted.
I map DT_STR field ("T") with varbinary field in destination table and the package executes properly, but when I see the data that it has been loaded I only see empty values (0x).
I have also tried other approaches, like converting to DT_BYTES during SSIS flow, but I always get the same result.
Can a bitmap be added to a Varbinary field using the INSERT statement. If not what other method can I use to add a photo image (bmp or gif) to my Sql database?
I need to put .doc data into a varbinary column for full text searching. I have created the db and columns but am unsure as to how to insert the varbinary data. I have found some discussions about inserting images but nothing explicitly on .doc files. Can anyone suggest resources or sample code?
I get the following error when my insert has a DBNull value for a column of type varbinary(MAX). "Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query." In my opinion, the .NET SqlDataAdapter is attempting to convert the null value to a nvarchar. Is it possible to insert a null value in varbinary(max)? I didn't have this problem with the image datatype. Is this a bug or is there a work around to this problem?
I need to run a replace on a varbinary field but I am unsure how. I have tried mulitple different methods and to no avail. I am stumped.
I have attached a zip folder that contains a spreadsheet that shows what I am trying to do. In the first tab it shows the SQL command I use to call the field I want to change. In this case it's the Content field and I am calling it using the content_key. As you can tell the content is stored as varbinary. In the second sheet, It shows this varbinary being converted to varchar(max) and it shows what the actual text says.
The table that this information is stored is is called digitalassetcontent
That is in front of the actual product description.
Somehow I need to run this command:
Code: Update digitalassetcontent set content = replace(CAST(content as varchar(max)), '<STYLE>H1{font-weight:bold}H1{font-size: 14pt}OL</STYLE><H1>Product Description</H1>','')
Where CAST(content as varchar(max)) like '<STYLE>H1{font-weight:bold}H1{font-size: 14pt}OL</STYLE><H1>Product Description</H1>%' AND content_key = 'desc214974236480438500781058983745755010'
This is the error message I get when running this code: Implicit conversion from data type varchar(max) to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
I have several tables a varbinary column in a database. They have names like CSB_BLOB or OBJECT_BLOB. Now I am having intermittent success with getting the data out.
For example this query returns readable text from this data.
0x46726F6D3A20226465616E6E6167726.....etc --data as stored in the column
SELECT CAST(CSB_BLOB AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS 'Message' FROM OBJECT_BLOB
However this column has the following query results.
0x0001000000FFFFFFFF01000000000000000C....etc. --data as stored in column
--this query returns empty result
SELECT (CSB_BLOB AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS 'Message' FROM CSB_STATUS_LOG
--this query returns no change???
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CSB_BLOB, 2), 2) FROM CSB_STATUS_LOG 0001000000FFFFFFFF01000000000000000C....etc
Obviously there is a difference between the two but I am not educated enough to interpret this difference. What do I need to learn / read so I can look at the data in one of these BLOB columns and know how to convert it to something meaningful?
Something like:
1. Try to cast as varchar to see if it is text. 2. Turn into a byte array and see if it is a jpg 3. Turn into a byte array and see if it is a pdf 4. Convert it to hex and then cast as varchar 5. etc....
I keep getting the following error message but I don't see what's wrong with my code

how do i add a new field and insert a value into it?
I'm importing data from another table into a new one, but my source table has a char field and the target filed is (int) can I add a new field to the source file and add a value to it? and how? I have in my source table a field call companyName that contains text and the target table has a companyId which is an INT. If I create a field call companyId and add a value of '1' depending on the value of CompanyName... This is what i want ot do if CompanyName = LA then insert 1 into new filed companyID How can I do that? I have to do this for 100 or more tables. Can I write a script that will do that for me? does it make sence?
I have a table with the following schema: CREATE TABLE [itis].[wrk_taxon_authors] ( [wb_taxon_author_id] [int] NOT NULL , [taxon_author_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [taxon_author] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [kingdom_id] [smallint] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO
I am trying to insert the following data (as you can see fields are seperated with the | ):
19||Flores-Villela and Sánchez-H., 2003|5| 20||Wiegmann, 1828|5| 16|17482|Gray, 1838|5| 17|9823|(Wiegmann, 1828)|5| I get the following error:Server: Msg 4869, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk Insert failed. Unexpected NULL value in data file row 1, column 2. Destination column (taxon_author_id) is defined NOT NULL. Server: Msg 4869, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk Insert failed. Unexpected NULL value in data file row 2, column 2. Destination column (taxon_author_id) is defined NOT NULL.
Since I have defined column 2 as an identity column, I don't understand why SQL Query analyzer is upset when I do not have a value in that field. To me, I would think it would auto-insert an integer (starting at seed 1 and incrementing by 1), but it doesn't. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I am trying to insert 1000000.00 into my sql table from a webpage. I as long as the amount is 999.99 or less it works fine, once higher then that amount it gives me an error. Below is the code I am using to do the insert, it gets the error on the insert and the update both: I am getting the error on the price inserting the FormatCurrency(txtprice.Text) SelectStatement = "Insert crewchief (crewchief, price, car_num) Select '" & txtcrewchief.Text & "', " & FormatCurrency(txtprice.Text) & ", '" & txtcarnum.Text & "'" Adapter.SelectCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand(SelectStatement, myConnection) MyCommandBuilder = New SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder(Adapter) Adapter.Fill(MatcherDS, "temp") Any ideas on why?
I have a datetime field in a database which I am programmatically inserting values into. The field can be null or not null. However, I am having problems inserting NULL as part of my SQLCommand. The value is pulled from a text box (linked to a calendar extender) and when I select a value it is being inserted fine. If I just leave the box blank though, I want the field to be set to NULL. I have tried adding in ,DBNULL.Value, as part of my VALUES(…) string, but this throws an exception. I Have tried just inserting ‘’ but that also throws an exception (“The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value�?), so I don’t know how I can insert this value when the field is blank? Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks
I have a field in a db table which is like a chat history.I need to update the field with a user's input (put into a multiline text box) and append that to the beginning of the field.The problem is that I want to maintain line breaks when I retrieve the field into a multiline textbox (aka textarea) and can't figure it out.I've searched around and have seen lots of solutions for converting line breaks into <br> tags, but those people are trying to output to a label.I'm using an update command in my SqlDataSource like this: UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + history WHERE [id] = 1"With a parameter declaration like this: <UpdateParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="history" ControlID="TextBox1" PropertyName="Text" /> </UpdateParameters>If I try to concatenate in a or CHR(10), the characters are literally inserted. Like this for example (this is the last variation I tried).... UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + CHR(10) + history WHERE [id] = 1"How do I store a CrLf programatically?
I have looked and looked for any information on how to insert data from a db into a text field using a stored procedure. If anyone has any helpful links or suggestions, my sanity would greatly appreciate the help.
Hello, I was wondering if someone could give me some insight to why i may be having this SQL 05 problem. I have setup a series of cells using say vchar(max). However when i go into add data in the table if I enter anything on of the word i.e. insert(Hello my name is) This red circle with an exclamation mark ( ! ) pops up and then if i continue to do another row it wont let me continue. The message i get is Error Source: .netSql Client Data provider Error message: String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated, Then it says to fix this or press escape, i have never seen this before can help me out as I have no idea why this is happening. Any help much appreciated.

can we insert multiple values into the same field. as we do for the mailing list. that is can we use commas to enter multiple values into the same field
I need to insert rows into a table which contains a smallint field for time. The times are stored in that colum as integers (898, 11345, 1259, etc.) How can I enter a time like 9:15 AM into this field? I know how to display integer data in hh:mm format but I'm stumped on how I can do the reverse.
what i understand if if the data field is integer or money, not string, then i need to do a convert(datatype, value) in the insert but how come its still not working INSERT INTO [Product] ([Title], [Description], [Processor], [Motherboard], [Chipset], [RAM], [HDD], [OpticalDrive], [Graphics], [Sound], [Speakers], [LCD], [Keyboard], [Mouse], [Chassis], [PSU], [Price]) VALUES (@Title, @Description, @Processor, @Motherboard, @Chipset, @RAM, @HDD, @OpticalDrive, @Graphics, @Sound, @Speakers, @LCD, @Keyboard, @Mouse, @Chassis, @PSU, convert(smallmoney, @Price))

Hi, I have a problem when I insert a date in a datetime field in a MSSQLServer. That's my problem: if the server is in english version, I have to insert date with this code:
DateTime.Today.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")
instead if the server is in italian version, I have to insert date with this code:
DateTime.Today.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
Is there a way to insert a date in standard way, without knowing the server version?

This is probaly the easiest question you've ever read but here goes.
I have a simple checkbox value that i want to insert into the database but whatever i do it does not seem to let me.
Here is my code:
Sub AddSection_Click(Sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Dim myCommand As SqlCommand Dim insertCmd As String ' Build a SQL INSERT statement string for all the input-form ' field values. insertCmd = "insert into Customers values (@SectionName, @SectionLink, @Title, @NewWindow, @LatestNews, @Partners, @Support);" ' Initialize the SqlCommand with the new SQL string. myCommand = New SqlCommand(insertCmd, myConnection) ' Create new parameters for the SqlCommand object and ' initialize them to the input-form field values. myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@SectionName", SqlDbType.nVarChar, 50)) myCommand.Parameters("@SectionName").Value = Section_name.Value
If New_window.Checked = false Then myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@NewWindow", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@NewWindow").Value = 0 else myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@NewWindow", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@NewWindow").Value = 1 End If
If Latest_news.Checked = false Then myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@LatestNews", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@LatestNews").Value = 0 else myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@LatestNews", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@LatestNews").Value = 1 End If
If Partners.Checked = false Then myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Partners", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@Partners").Value = 0 else myCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Partners", SqlDbType.bit, 1)) myCommand.Parameters("@Partners").Value = 1 End If

I've just noticed some strange behavior that seems like a bug to me. It's much easier to follow an example of it that to outright explain it, so here goes.
I have a table defined with a NOT NULL constraint on a column and a default clause: -- DROP TABLE TestTable CREATE TABLE TestTable ( TestField0 varchar(10), TestField1 varchar(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT ('a') )
I have a view defined on the table, in this example case, the view just mirrors the table one to one: -- DROP VIEW TestView CREATE VIEW TestView as SELECT TestField0, TestField1 FROM TestTable
So far so good, if I run this statement, it works as I would expect and inserts the value and the default goes into the other field: INSERT INTO TestView (TestField0) SELECT 'test'
Now... If I add an INSTEAD OF trigger to the view, and have it perform the insert for me, I get an error with the same insert stmt: -- DROP TRIGGER TestTrigger CREATE TRIGGER TestTrigger ON TestView INSTEAD OF INSERT AS BEGIN INSERT INTO TestTable (TestField0, TestField1) SELECT TestField0, COALESCE(TestField1, 'X') FROM inserted END
Notice the trigger will ensure that a null value cannot be inserted into TestField1. If I run this insert stmt though I get an error: INSERT INTO TestView (TestField0) SELECT 'test'
Server: Msg 233, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 The column 'TestField1' in table 'TestView' cannot be null.
Hi, I'm trying to store large strings to a database, so am using thetext field type (LongText). I have used this before when storing thehtml of a webpage, and was able to store more than 255 characters byusing just a normal update sql statement. Now I'm trying to store thebody of research papers, and must be doing something different, as Ican only store 255 characters.Can someone explain why SQL Server doesn't like what I am doing -should I be using the WriteText / UpdateText function? If so, pleaseexplain by example how I would do that, and why doing that works.Thanks so much,Iain
How to modify values in a SQL Database. In the table PRDDEmpmaster there is a field called email_address, and for those fields that have a value I need to change that value to add { } opening/closing "curly braces" to that field.
For example,
RPARSONS@YAHOO.COM becomes {RPARSONS@YAHOO.COM} . Nulls/empty fields remain as is.
Using Server Explorer in VB 2005, I am manually entering data in a table in a SQL Server 2005 Express database that includes a DateTime field. I have tried every conceivable format, but no matter what I try get one of these 2 errors:
1. String was not recognized as valid DateTime
2. Operand type class; text incompatible with DateTime
I have Googled this to death, but no example which involves trying to enter the data manually, say from Server Explorer.
Formats tried include all datetime formats (mmddyy, yymmdd, using dashes or slashes, enclosing in single quotes or pound signs).
I would appreciate if someone could please give me an example that I can literally insert without error.
