I have data saved in nvarchar field in SQL Server and I am displaying it using <= dbReader["my_field"] but even the three or four paragraphs comes as one paragragh and I don't know know where are my line breaks going?
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 €œsource€? for validity and I will need to mare the individual data pieces red where €œwrong€?. 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have SQL Server 2012, and I'm trying to execute a bcp with a queryout and it is not working with line break, I will send you an example of a simple query my real case is a very long query that contains line breaks but this example behaves the same:
DECLARE @StoredProcedure AS NVARCHAR(4000) ,
@sql AS NVARCHAR(4000)
SET @StoredProcedure = N'"SELECT *
from clarity.[dbo].[ACCESS_DEP]"'
[code]...
Of course that is not the solution as I have a very long query that requires line breaks.
Can this be done in SSRS or must it be done in the query? Ideas? Suggestions? See Example Below:
Current table look:
1 Data.........
2 Data.........
3 Data.........
4 Data.........
5 Data.........
6 Data.........
7 Data.........

The Way I need it to look

I 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 -> 123456-8Â Â Â Â Â Â *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567-Â Â Â Â Â *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789Â Â Â *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567#Â Â Â Â *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9Â Â Â *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.

Hi!
Is there any way to store UTF-8 encoded string in Nvarchar field? Or strings can be stored only in Unicode?
There are two fieldsA1 nvarchar(30)A2 nvarchar(800)I know nvarchar field is alterable length, if I store a string mystring='abc' to A1 field or to A2 field, I think they use the same disk space, so I think it's always a good way to define a big length nvarchar field such as A3 nvarchar(4000) for any length string, becuase they always use the same disk space, is it right?

Hi everyone.
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.
quote:- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
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.
Thanks.

I 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!

View 2 Replies View RelatedMS 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.

Ok 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.
Hi,
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.
Hi, people! I'm a Brazilian and forgive me for my poor English...
I have a stored procedure in SQL Server 2000 with return me the follow data:
REGION | TYPE | VALUE_TOT
Reg 1 | TP 1 | 10
Reg 1 | TP 2 | 15
Reg 1 | TP 3 | 20
Reg 2 | TP 1 | 8
Reg 2 | TP 2 | 27
Reg 2 | TP 3 | 11
Reg 3 | TP 1 | 3
Reg 3 | TP 2 | 6
Reg 3 | TP 3 | 50
In the Reporting Services I make a grouping for REGION AND TYPE, and return me this:
REGION TYPE VALUE_TOT
Reg 1
TP 1 10
TP 2 15
TP 3 20
Reg 2
TP 1 8
TP 2 27
TP 3 11
I need place a new column in the right and a value only in the line where TYPE = TP 2. The value is: (VALUE_TOT in TP 2 * 100) / VALUE_TOT in TP 1.
It would be something thus:
REGION TYPE VALUE_TOT CALC
TP 1 10
TP 2 15 150
TP 3 20
Reg 2
TP 1 8
TP 2 27 337,5
TP 3 11
This is detail line, as would make this calculation? How it would capture the value of TP 1 and TP 2? Row number? Somebody has some idea?

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 am storing formatted data (including spaces and line breaks) in a single field in a table.
When I run a report on that field, the preview of the report is automatically removing all the extra spaces and line breaks, making the report unreadable.
When exporting the report to PDF or printing it, it shows the line breaks and spaces as expected.
Does anyone know how to make the report preview show the spaces and line breaks?
I have a report with several matrix objects. The data contained in each matrix is simple. One matrix has one column of labels and a column of data. The other has 3 columns of data. Both matrix's only show about 25 rows of data. A variable amount of data is displayed above the matrix's so that sometime the render across a page boundary. Whenever this happens the matrix doesn't render rows down to the bottom of the page. A considerable amount of empty space is left on the page, the completed matrix is displayed on the next page. I'm wondering how to get the matrix to render in this empty space.
This problem only occurs when I view the report on screen, in the Visual Studio "Preview" window, or from the Report Server web site. Tiff, pdf and printed output doesn't contain the extra space.
I've tried adding my matrix to a List and a Rectangle to see of this would fix the problem but it didn't help.
I've check the dimensions and margins or the page and I don't think I have any sizing problems, everything should fit on the page.
