When I SELECT text FROM mytable, I don't retrieve all the data in that
column. When I take a look directly inside the database, I can see
that there exists more data than I get when running the select query.
How can I get all the data retrieved?
When I import my tables from MySQL, it put " " with the contents in the field. Will someone show me a SQL statement that I can use to clean all the " " out of the table's contents?
I have Big texts And I Want To searching In These texts By MSSql Database,
i saved this texts in about 4800 rows in one table with one ntext field.
when I finished I surprised with some problems:
1- when I want to search in this table by simple Select Command like this: "Select topicID from topicstbl where topictxt like '%vb forums%' I faced this ERR MSG "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." And It does not continue searching to the last row so it returns only some of the results.
2- it is too slow and it took three minuites to performe one incomplete search operation because it was "TIMEOUT".
3- the size of original texts is 300MB but when i saved these texts to MSSql Database its size becomes too large its more than 1GB.
what can I do with these problems taking into concideration that I do not want to use FULL TEXT SEARCH?

How can I efficiently retrieve the top x managers within the top y regions within the top z states within the top q countries? The only way I have been able to do this is to first find the top q countries, and store the list in an IN clause. Then for each of those, find the top z states and create another IN clause that contains the country+state concatenated. Then for each of those, find the top y regions and concatenate country+state+region. Then finally find the top x managers within this IN clause. This works fine for a few hundred records, but once it reaches the thousands, it takes much too long. The final IN clause contains thousands of entries. Isn't there a simpler way to approach this, especially with SQL Server 2005?

I have records in a table and 1 column is in the smalldatetime format which stores the date in the format "2004-09-22",2004-09-20",2004-09-12",2004-08-04" etc etc.
Can anyone tell me how to craft an SQL statement so that i can retrieve records for a certain month.For example,if i want to retrieve records for the month of September,i would get "2004-09-22",2004-09-20",2004-09-12" in results.

"I meant to delete just one assignment, doing which was giving me difficulty.
I deleted a whole category by accident which had most of my daily grades in it for a course with quite a few of them. I was negligent in backing them up, so I cannot restore them. I have an XLS file from the midterm, but am missing about 6 grades after that.
Is there any way to recover the grades I had in the deleted category. It has been a couple of days since I entered any new grades. HELP!"
My current backup strategy is to do a full backup 5 pm, differentials every 2 hours, logs every 30 min, all so they arenot simultaneous. Backing these all to same backup device via three different jobs.
Then the server is backed up to tape shortly after the 5 pm full backup.
Obviously, I can't restore from the backup for this situation because it would hurt other data.
But - is there a way I can take last night's backup from tape and restore it to a different database than our production database? (Such a database doesn't at this time exist. Would I detach, copy over the files, and then reattach on prod and attach on the devl side, and then restore from the backup device to the devl copy?)
I've never had to perform this kind of rescue and am wondering if my backup strategy is flawed since it isn't immediately evident how I can easily do this.
I needed a similar thing from our Oracle DBA yesterday, and he went to tape, copied out a table and put it on the Oracle database under a different owner, and I easily fixed the few records that I had botched.
That's exactly what I need to do now with MS SQL 2000.
I was hoping someone would be able to help me, I trying to go through several databases, 111 to be exact, and get the data out of a particular table which is present in all the databases on the same server.
I know how to get the names of the databases from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, but how can use the name for it to cycle through all the databases and get data out of the one particular table.
I have a giant SQL query that retrieves a bunch of information from a couple of tables for use on a page, and I would like some help on constructing the SQL to get exactly what I have in mind. I have a table - called scContacts - that contains a list of contacts with detailed information. The contacts in the table are regular sales contacts, sales reps, and sales managers. Another table - called scCompany - contains a list of companies with detailed information.
For each company, we have a certain sales manager (or user) pertaining to that company as well as potentially a certain rep. The problem is that the contact tied to the company, the sales manager tied to the company, and the rep tied to the company all come from the same table. Here is the base SQL code I've used to get everything but the sales rep's name and sales manager's name:
scCompany.ID AS companyID, scCompany.companyName, scCompany.companyURL, scCompany.billToAddress1 AS companyAddress1, scCompany.billToAddress2 AS companyAddress2, scCompany.billToCity AS companyCity, scCompany.billToState AS companyState, scCompany.billToZip AS companyZip, scCompany.billToCounty AS companyCounty, scCompany.billToCountry AS companyCountry, scCompany.businessType, scCompany.phoneExt, scCompany.phoneNum, scCompany.faxNum, scCompany.minEmployees, scCompany.maxEmployees, scCompany.actionTypeMAX, scCompany.actionDateMAX, scCompany.actionTimeMAX, scCompany.statusID, scCompany.userID, scCompany.repID
FROM scCompany, scContacts
INNER JOIN scStatus ON scStatus.ID = scCompany.statusID
WHERE scgroupContacts.contactID = [insert cookie value] AND scgroups.ID = [insert cookie value] AND scCompany.ID = scContacts.companyID AND scCompany.groupID = scgroups.ID ----- END SQL CODE -----
As indicated right now, this SQL code will retrieve all of the contact and company information for a certain contact ID which comes from a cookie value (inserted in ASP). I want to get the [fName] and [lName] fields from scContacts table where the scContacts.ID = scCompany.userID, and I also want those same fields from scContacts table again where the scContacts.ID = scCompany.repID. It would be simplest and most efficient if I could do this all at once (and I'm sure it's possible). How would I change the SQL to bring in that information from the same table two more times, tying their ID's to ID's in the company table?

Hi, I need some help. I have this query where i need to pull up students that have more than or equal to 3 absences in a row. Now I am getting all those students that are absent but not in a row. But i was wondering if there is a way to tell if a student was absent three days in a row . There is a date field that is being used to identify the day of the class and a status field that identifies if the student was absent or present. Please help someone.
i lost a table with lots of data - there's around 10,000 records inserted daily.
my problem was i only realized this morning (and i lost it last night) and i have the backups backing up each day every hour - so the backup had already overwritten it seems the db that was missing the table) my backup type is set to append - so i though i could retrieve by date time but it only let me retrieve the backup at 11pm(tune if last backup) and no earlier time. is there anyway of getting the data from the 7 pm backup -- again it backsup each hour to the same file - set to append so i thought that meant i could choose a time but it doesn't seem to be working.

Hi all,I have an application that creates a publication on the server, andhave multiple mobile devices creating annonymous subscriptions to thatpublications. I need to write a report that checks if each device havethe replication synchronized successfully. I can rundistribution.dbo.sp_MSenum_merge or look intodistribution.dbo.MSmerge_history to get at the data for _all_subscriptions to a given publication, but to look at a particularsubscription, I need to filter by either the subscriber_db or agent_idcolumn. The problem is, how do I get either one of these informationfrom the device? Or is there other way of retrieving the merge historyfor a particular device/annonymous subscription?Thanks in advance,Harold
Hi,Is it possible to get metadata (i.e. descriptions of tables etc.) insql-server? In Oracle you can retrieve this information with tables likeall_objects, user_tables, user_views etc. For example, this query selectsthe owner of the table 'ret_ods_test' (in Oracle!):select ownerfrom all_objectswhere object_name = 'ret_ods_test'What's the equivalent in sql server?Thanks a lot.
Up to the moment I've got enough knowledge for read data stored into .LDF files by dbcc log and so on. It's very useful and interesting. Now, I wonder how to retrieve the same information but on MDF files.
At first, I want to make sure that is not possible by mean of traditional methods (dbcc or something like that) I suppose so but I'd like to hear opinions regarding that.
Thanks in advance for any idea, though or further information.

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am working on an application that connects to SQL Server. I need to find out if there is any way (I know there is, not sure how) to retrieve a list of tables within a database and also, a way to retrieve a list of databases within a server. I am using VB.Net in a web application. Any help on this owuld be greatly appreciated.
I am using several TextBox Controls, instead of a FormView, for inserting data into a Sql Database. The primary key (ID) is an integer which is automatically incremented by one at each insertion. At each insertion I need to retrieve the ID value of the newly inserted record. I have followed a suggestion from a help sample with this code:Imports System.Data.CommonImports System.Data.SqlClientImports System.DataPartial Class InsertInherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.ClickSqlDataSource1.Insert()End SubSub On_Inserting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs)Dim InsertedKey As SqlParameterInsertedKey = New SqlParameter("@PK_GuestList", SqlDbType.Int)InsertedKey.Direction = ParameterDirection.Outpute.Command.Parameters.Add(InsertedKey)End SubSub On_Inserted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs)Dim command As DbCommandcommand = e.CommandLabel1.Text = command.Parameters("@PK_GuestList").Value.ToString()End SubEnd ClassNo output appears on the Label1.If in the last code row I replace "@PK_GuestList" with the name of any TextBox used for inputting data, its content is correctly shown in Label1.Where is the problem?

Ok, again, I'm reasonably new to this. I've been trying to display an image stored in SQL in a ASP.NET page. Pretty simple stuff I would have thought. I've read countless examples of how to do this online, and many of them use the same method of displaying the image, but none seem to work for me. The problem seems to lie in the following line of code: Dim imageData As Byte() = CByte(command.ExecuteScalar())Which always returns the error: Value of type 'Byte' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte'.Here's the rest of my code, hope someone can help. It's doing my head in! Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.Data Imports System.Drawing Imports System.IOPartial Class _ProfileEditor Inherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load 'Get the UserID of the currently logged on user Dim NTUserID As String = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString Session("UserID") = NTUserID Dim Photo As Image = NothingDim connection As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MyConnectionString").ConnectionString) Dim command As SqlCommand = connection.CreateCommand() command.CommandText = "SELECT Photograph, ImageType FROM Users WHERE UserID = @UserID"command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserID", NTUserID) connection.Open()Dim imageData As Byte() = CByte(command.ExecuteScalar())Dim memStream As New MemoryStream(Buffer) Photo = Image.FromStream(memStream) End Sub End Class
Hello, I have a table called Member in my database that I use to store information about users including the date of birth for each person. I have a search function in my application that is supposed to look through the Member table and spit out a list of users with a user-inputted age range (min and max ages). Now, I could have stored ages instead of dob in the table, but I would think that's bad practice since age changes and would need continuous recomputing (which is db intensive) as opposed to dob which stays the same. So what I'm thinking is getting the min and max user inputted ages, convert them to dob values (of type DateTime) in the application. And then, to query the db and return a list of all users in the Member whose dob falls in between those two dates (is a BETWEEN even possible with DateTime values?). How is the best way to go about this? There are many sites out there that return users with user specified age ranges. Is there a best way to do this that's the least taxing on the db? TIA.
Dear Friends, I have read many solution over the net, but since I am unable to utilize anyone according to my needs I am seeking help from you people. I have a table imagedata in sql server 2005 having fields name and imageperson. Name is string and imageperson is Image field. I have successfully stored name of the person and his image in database. I have populated the dataset from codebehind and bind it to the repeater. By writing <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "name")%>I am a able to retrieve the name of the person. But when I pass photodata as <%#photogen((DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imageperson")))%> where photogen is function in code behind having structure public void photogen(byte[] dataretrieved) { Response.BinaryWrite(datarerieved) } But it is giving error at <%#photogen((DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imageperson")))%> The best overloaded method match for '_Default.photogen(byte[])' has some invalid arguments AND Cannot convert object to byte[]. Can anyone please provide me working solution with code for aspx page and code behind. Thanks and regards
