In a query Analyser, there is a provision to change the "Maximum characters per column 256 " to our size in advanced option.
It works ok.
We are using VisualInterdev for developing ASP's -- there
thro ADO - we are getting the rows from sql server 7.0 -- there data more than
256 characters are truncated.
How will i get the actual data ?.. where i can do the settings..?
help needed...

Say I have a column called 'NAME' in a table called 'CLIENT' and the values in NAME are Surnames or company names like:
NAME
----------------------
1-FOR-ALL
A.B. SMITH (TOOLS LTD)
BROWN
THOMSON
VW CAR SALES
I want my select to return the first 3 characters, excluding special characters (only characters between 1 and z).
In example, the following would be returned for the data above:
NAME
----------------------
1FO
ABS
BRO
THO
VWC

Hi All
I have loaded some data to the application using flat files
which has non english chars.
all the columns in the database are NVARCHAR type.
but in db and in application UI, the non english chars are being diplayed as junk chars. ???121
The application supports UTF-8 format
is there any setting at db level to be modified to display the non english char set as is.
Thanks
I am having DTS problem exporting from a table to a text file (my 600
character table column is truncated to 255 characters in the output text
file). I don't why this is happining nor how to get the DTS not truncate to
255 characters. Is this a bug? A limitation? How do I get around this
problem?
.......I am running SQL Server 7 SP1 and database is in 6.5 compatability
mode.
Is there any possibility to store more then 8000 chars in a column?

I am very new to using SSIS.
Trying to import data from MS Access 2000.
I receive the error "
[OLE DB Destination [1907]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "GENDER" with a length of 255 to database column "GENDER" with a length of 2. " on the source flow.
I have done some googling and came up with this post: http://torontosql.dotnetnuke-portal.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32233 which I thought may help, but it does not.
The query against the access datasource features the column: iif([sex]=1, 'm', 'f'). I tried using left(..., 2) as well, but SSIS is determind to treat the field as 255 characters for some reason.
I don't even particualrly care that the field is 255 chars and the sources is only two, I just want the data in! I have other fields coming up with similar error.
Can someone please advise?
PS, what is th significance of the "External Columns" Vs "Output Columns" on the Input and Output Properties tab in Advanced Editor?
I am really struggling with SSIS, it is not as intuitive as DTS.

Is there a way to alter the default 256 value to some other value in a transac SQL script?
The value can be changed manually in the advanced tab of the current connection options. I need to be able to set and reset this value in a script and/or stored procedure.
Kind of urgent for an answer to this problem.
Thanks in advance.

On table TABLENAME, I have increased the size of column C to decimal(38, 14); maximum size and an excessive amount of precision.
If I do a
SELECT MAX(CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B) FROM TABLENAME
SELECT MIN(CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B) FROM TABLENAME
I get 3.0000000000000 for the MAX and 0.1000000000000 for the MIN value, yet if I update
UPDATE TABLENAME SET C = CONVERT(DECIMAL(7,2), A) / B WHERE B <> 0
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric.
The statement has been terminated.
Obviously I have obscured the column names and table name, but I am puzzled as to why values in the range 0.1 to 3.0 should give an overflow error.

I have some code I build 2 weeks ago which I’ve been running daily but it’s suddenly stopped working with the following error.
“The table "tbl_Intraday_Tmp" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit” When I google this there seems to be a related to tables with vast numbers of columns.
My table tbl_Intraday_tmp is relatively small. It has 7 columns. 1 of varchar(5), 3 of decimal(9,3) and 2 of decimal(18,0). The bit I’m puzzled with is it was working and stopped.
I don’t recall changing anything but I wouldn’t rule that out. I ‘ve inspected the source files and I don’t believe they have changed either.

is there any more efficient way for example to implement the next query?
SELECT s1.article, dealer, s1.price

JOIN (
SELECT article, MAX(price) AS price
FROM shop
GROUP BY article) AS s2
ON s1.article = s2.article AND s1.price = s2.price;
WHERE dealer = 'dealer sample'
What indexes I should create for this query?
SQL Server 2000 8.00.760 (SP3)I've been working on a test system and the following UDF worked fine.It runs in the "current" database, and references another database onthe same server called 127-SuperQuote.CREATE FUNCTION fnGetFormattedAddress(@WorkID int)RETURNS varchar(130)ASBEGINDECLARE@Address1 As varchar(50)@ReturnAddress As varchar(130)SELECT@Address1 = [127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany.Address1FROM[Work] INNER JOIN[127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany ON [Work].ClientID =[127-SuperQuote].dbo.tblCompany.CompanyIDWHERE[Work].WorkID = @WorkIDIF @Address1 IS NOT NULLSET @ReturnAddress = @ReturnAddress + @Address1 + CHAR(13)+ CHAR(10)RETURN @ReturnAddressENDSo now the system has gone live and it turns out that the live"SuperQuote" database is on a different server.I've linked the server and changed the function as below, but I get anerror both in QA and when checking Syntax in the UDF builder:The number name 'Zen.SuperQuote.dbo.tblCompany' contains more than themaximum number of prefixes.

I have an overloaded method in my data access layer that I use to load the parameters into a command object. One of these overloaded methods is as follows:
public void LoadSqlParameter(string name, string value, ParameterDirection direction){ param = new SqlParameter(); param.ParameterName = name; param.Value = value; param.Direction = direction;
param.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar;
cmd.Parameters.Add(param);}
Will using a SqlDbType of VarChar cause me any problems if the actual parameter in the stored procedure is a Char?
Am I better off leaving out the line that specifies the type?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a problem with a text string which is more than 8000 chars.
I am taking this string as an input from an application.so,I cannot define a local variable as text or ntext and varchar has limitation of only 8000 char.
Can anyone help me in dealing with this situation.
Also,I cannot break the string at application level.I wish if I could solve it at db level somehow?
TIA

How do you insert more than 255 characters into a text field? or am I using READTEXT and DATALENGTH incorrectly?
I am trying to concatenate two 255 varchar strings. Both do have 255 characters of data.
I want to insert the concatenated strings into a field define as a text data type.
if I try to ' insert into tempTbl(textFieldDataType) values (@text1+@text2) it appears only the @text1 is inserted.
I have been told the data is really there, but I can only read the 256 position + with READTEXT.
DECLARE @textptr varbinary(16)
select @textptr = (select TEXTPTR(textFieldDataType) from tempTbl where pktempTbl = 33)
READTEXT tempTbl.textFieldDataType @textPtr 255 10
This should have read 10 text positions after the 255th position. However, I get msg
Msg 7124, Level 16, State 1
The offset and length specified in the READTEXT command is greater than the actual data length of 255.
If I use the datalength function, it appears to confirm that @text2 was never inserted
declare @length int
select @length = (select datalength(textFieldDataTypet) from tempTbl where pktempTbl = 33)
select @length
@length is returned as 255
Hi
I am trying to get the domain name of the server running this instance of SQL server 2000 using xp_loginconfig but have been getting some very strange results. The code example below shows the problem quite nicely. Basically the output shows white space of some sort before the "/HelloWorld" in the second select.
Any ideas why? and how to get rid of it. I've tried using RTRIM() but that made no difference.
On some server instances I dont even see the "/HelloWorld" perhaps it's put in a new line char or something like that.
Thanks
Christian
