Hello,
I have a column in my table that is a nvarchar.
The information that we need to store in this column has exceeded the limit.
Can we simply change the datatype to 'text' ?
Will there be any issues that we might experience?
Thank you in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA SqlServer 2005 db has a table with an nvarchar(max) column containing text with paragraph format. When displayed in a Windows form textbox each paragraph exhibits CRLF. When the table is opened in Management Studio the paragraph text is separated with two boxes at each CRLF.
I would like to insert an additional CRLF (or whatever is required) so that when viewed in a textbox each paragraph has a blank line separating it from the next paragraph. Much easier to read!!!
Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...
I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value.
To re-create the problem quickly...
If I populate the column via
CONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text')
then there is no problem, I get results as expected.
However if I populate the column via
CONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max)))
no results are ever returned.
Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.
I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).
The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).
Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,
Gavin.

I am facing a problem while using SQL Server with VB application.Implicit conversion from datatype text to nvarchar is not allowed.Use the convert function to run this query.When i see the trace file, i see one stored procedure called but nolines of code get executed, and immediately after that the ROLLBACKTRANSACTION occurs and the applications fails.But to my surprise i am able to do the same thing on a differentmachine using the same application and the same database on the sameserver with the same user id.Can anyone explain the reason of occurance of this problem.I require this very urgently, so i will be oblized if anyone can comeup with a quick response.Kind Regards,Amit Kumar
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way of using the Full-Text feature on HTML?
I want to only search the text and omit the html tags.
If that involves storing as a different format, can someone tell me the best way of doing that?
I'm very new to sql and especially full-text.
Thanks.

Hi,
We are in process of converting all of the data type of the fields from CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT into NCHAR/NVARCHAR/NTEXT (DBCS). Having more than 900 store procedure its look like real pain to make modification in all of the SPs.
After failed to find any help from GOOGLE, I am posting this request. I am basically looking for any automated tool which are convert data type in SP based on the field of the table used in the SP. Or at least which can provide me some sort of list which can helpful for doing manual reactoring.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Thanks,

Hi - I am changing a field from type nvarchar to type text, given thatI need to store strings longer than 255 characters. To do this Ichange the data type in SQL Server, then I change the parameter code inthe calling procedure, as per below:cmd.Parameters.Append(cmd.CreateParameter("@title", adVarWChar,adParamInput, 255, title));becomes:cmd.Parameters.Append(cmd.CreateParameter("@title", adLongVarWChar,adParamInput, 1073741823, title));However, when I do this, for some reason, the field is still limited to255 characters - when I try to update the field with 256 characters,the error 'Application uses a value of the wrong type for the currentoperation.' occurs.Why is this? I've checked that the correct data is contained in theparameter. When I look at the data in the database, the column inquestion shows the content, whereas the next column, which has alwaysbeen of type text, shows '<LongText>' - does this mean anything? Do Ineed to do something special to convert the column from nvarchar totext?Many thanks,Iain

Hi, We have moved our Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005. A number of the original tables contained MEMO fields and these became nvarchar(MAX) fields in SS 2005. We continue to use the original Access application and therefore have linked the tables to the Access application via ODBC connection. However, the fields that were originally Memo in Access native tables are brought over as TEXT fields (255 char limit) by the linking process.
Is there a way I can link the tables and have those big text fields be Memo fields in the linked tables?? Or is there some way to work around this? (Moving to Access 2007 is not an option at this time.) I would really appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks.
Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value - I've narrowed it down to this specifically, populating with non nvarchar text seems to work fine.To re-create the problem quickly...If I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text')then there is no problem, I get results as expected.However if I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max)))no results are ever returned.Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.

I had this question for quite a long time.
It seems the latter one don't take any extra storage space than the previous one.
As long as the real string length is less than 10.
Is that mean the latter one not cost anything?
I once heard the different is when they are in memory. But not sure of it.
Can anyone explain it and provide some official reference on it?
Thank.
Hi guys..
i have so doubts in my mind and that i want to discuss with you guys...

and another thing... is which one is better to use as data type "Text" or "varchar(max)"... ?
if any article to read more about these thing,, can you refere to me...

Hi All,
The storage reserverd for nvarchar(m) is 2*m+ 2 extra bytes.
I understood each character requires because it supports unicode format.
Why extra two bytes are required?

Hello,
What is the maximum lenght when using nvarchar(MAX)?
If I want to save a really long text, should be this the data type to use?
I am using SQL 2005.
Thanks,
Miguel
Does anyone know the formula to calcuate the space occupied by an nvarchar(max) column for the purposes of sizing a table?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it bad form to use nvarchar(MAX) in place of column types with specific lengths like nvarchar(50)? Are there performance issues? Because to me (a novice), it appears that I would save space by using nvarchar(MAX) everywhere.
Same question applies to varbinary(MAX) as well.
Thanks

I have an SSIS pkg, that gets data from Lotusnotes db and loads into SQL Server, using ODBC Driver for Notessql driver . I have a comments, field, in Lotusnotes which has comments>8000 chars in lotusnotes. Hence I created my destn SQL Table with datatype NVARCHAR(MAX) so that it can uplaod the comments that are >8000 chars.
However, every time I run the ssis pkg , the destn table is bringing only 250 chars ONLY in the comments field , and truncates the rest of the chars.
And I see the reason is because, on my ODBC Serttings for Lotusnotes, There is a section for NOTESSQL options
where the "Max length of text fields" set to 254. hence it brings only 254 chars into SQL.
However, If I increase that option "Max length of text fields" to 8000 or some higher number, the sssis package errors out on the datareader source itself, err is"
"The output column 'comments' has a length that is not valid.
Pl advise how can I load all the comments which are more than 8000 chars from lotus notes into SQL, AND KEEPING THE ODBC settings, the "Max length of text fields" TO 254 Only.
I have a scenario to sort on an nvarchar (50) field and I need to keep any changes to the sproc in the ORDER BY clause if possible. This field will contain strings such as...
abc-217c, abc-15a, abc-9a, abc-7b, abc-17ar, etc...
The issue I'm having is when the records are sorted, they are returned as...
abc-15a, abc-17ar, abc-217c, abc-7b, abc-9a,etc...ordering numerically on the first numeric character in the string ie, 1,1,2,7,9)
However, I need the numeric component to be treated as a whole number and order in this fashion...
abc-7b, abc-9a, abc-15a, abc-17ar, abc-217c (7,9,15,17,217, etc)
I feel pretty sure that this issue has come up before...can anybody provide a working example that would provide a simple(or not so simple) solution?
i have used nvarchar as my datatype in sql server 2000 now
i have decided to change to varchar as i can increase the character length from 4000 to 8000
Do I Lose data if i change the datatype.
I have a table using nvarchar(for what ever reason which beyond me why its a nvarchar...) that I would like to change to a varchar. There is no unicode in the fields so I don't have to worry about but I don't want to lose any text data. Will coverting the data type lose data?
Thanks
Hello all,
I'm trying to convert a nvarchar datatype to int
(ie:1234-56-78 to 12345678) . These values are primary keys in two tables. Both these tables have 3500 rows of this key type. I want to convert this to a int so I can make it a AutoNumber primary key so I can increment it. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it. Do I need to delete the dashes first some how? I fairly new to database adminstration, so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
So I have an existing table that looks like:
ID BIGINT
VAL VARCHAR(128)
I am converting this table to something that will be multi language compliant. My question is, I know that NVARCHAR's take double the space of a VARCHAR. Do I actually need to double the length of the VAL field to store the same amount of data or does the DB handle that?
Basically I want to store a 128 character NVARCHAR.. do I need to set my table up like this:
ID BIGINT
VAL NVARCHAR(256)
or
ID BIGINT
VAL NVARCHAR(128)
I am new to SQL Server and would like to hear opinions on pros and cons of using nText vs. nVarChar data type for following uses:
URLs (up to 260 bytes)
Addresses (50-300 bytes)
Descriptions and comments (50-2,000 bytes)
Memos (up to 8000 bytes)
TIA.

I need to save some news text in an SQL table. The text can be long.
1. Should I use nvarchar(MAX) or nText?
2. And what is the difference between nText and Text?

Hi all, Please help.
I have created a new SQL dB and imported a table from Access to SQL.
my date columns in Access have been imported as nvarchar(50).
all dates are in the format dd/mm/yyyy.And there is no bad data
My problem is that in the table design of my new SQL Table, if I change the datatype from nvarchar(50) to datetime I get the error "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime"
I know this is telling me that there is a problem with the format of some of the dates but all my dates are defo dd/mm/yyyy ,none of the data has format mm/dd/yyyy ie a 13th month.I know this because I cut the data down to just 2 pieces of data.
can someone help me get the format into datetime please
Ray..
