I have switched my datatype to varChar(7000). I set to "only" 7000 to allow for the addition of other fields and still stay under a 8000byte record limit. My data is still being truncated sometimes. I''m not even able to get up near 7000 characters on the big text field.
View 2 RepliesWorking on partitioning a few large tables. One of the tables included a text column and the €śTEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]€? clause which would prevent the partitioning of this table. After some research we found that the data was legacy and no longer used. We updated the column on the affected rows to NULLS and altered the column to a VARCHAR(20)
When I attempted to run the ALTER TABLE SWITCH I encountered the error
Msg 4947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresultsjoe' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part'.
After a lot of grief and testing I determined that the message was bogus and the real issue is that the 'sys.tables' still has €ślob_data_space_id€? with a value of 1 for this table.
I created a copy of the table with the text column altered to varchar and one with just the varchar to begin with. After copying data from the original table, I tried to run the alter switch. It failed once again for the text column altered to varchar table, but it worked for the varchar from the start.
Since it appears that this value is causing my issues, is there anyway to update the table in place. I know I can BCP the data out, but that would take too long and would defeat the advantage of using the alter switch method.
BOL States:
The allow updates option is still present in the sp_configure stored procedure, although its functionality is unavailable in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the setting has no effect). In SQL Server 2005, direct updates to the system tables are not supported. This means we cannot update the table manually.

I am running a pivot query on approx 13000 records. When I run it on the whole dataset it timesout after 30 seconds but when I run it on 6500 (half at a time) it completes in about 2 seconds.
Can someone please help!?

I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".

The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?
I am trying to create a store procedure inside of SQL Management Studio console and I kept getting errors. Here's my store procedure.
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sqlOutlookSearch]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@OLIssueID int = NULL,
@searchString varchar(1000) = NULL
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
IF @OLIssueID <> 11111
SELECT * FROM [OLissue], [Outlook]
WHERE [OLissue].[issueID] = @OLIssueID AND [OLissue].[issueID] = [Outlook].[issueID] AND [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
ELSE
SELECT * FROM [Outlook]
WHERE [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
END
And the error I kept getting is:
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 18
The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 21

Any help is appreciated.
Hi All
Server 2003 standard edition, MSsql 2005 standard edition
As I understand it server 2003 standard only supports 4gb. Does this mean I can only use up to 4gb as the maximum memory for server 2005?
If that is the case I would like to use the 3GB switch, and leave the other gig for other apps. If I set the 3GB switch in boot.ini do I then also have to enable AWE (which I can't seem to do) or can I forget about AWE altogether?
Many thanks
Martin
in configuring AWE whether i need use both 3GB in boot.ini and AWE Enabling option in SQL Server

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have experience with truncating an expression like the Excel TRUNC?
For example in Excel, you might have something like =TRUNC(IF($AE11=0,1,X11/$AE11),5) which drops off a certain amount of the results after the decimal point. 87.5659321 becomes 87.565 instead of the result of a rounding.
For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications.
The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question....
I get the following error

Hi,
We have a standard Win 2K server and SQL2000 Enterprise edition on our DELL server.
Will it be possible to add a /3 Gig switch to boot.ini and make sql server to use 3 gig of RAM and the OS with 1 Gig of RAM.
This a live server website with heavy transactions more than 100 Transactions per minute.
We are planning to do a Transactional replication against 4 databases (publisher) with remote ditributor.
The reason why I am asking about this RAM increase is for this replication. Or is it Ok to have the 2 Gig RAM for this environment +replication.
Please give me a suggestion, how to proceed with this issue as i am concerned about memory especially for replication.
(4 Database sizes are 20 gig,7 gig,5 gig,5 gig)
Thanks,

There are some concept about context switch block me .
---executor: dbo
create user u1 without login
go
create table t
(
col int
)
go
create proc proc1
with execute as 'u1'
as
insert into t values(1)
go
exec proc1
I think proc1 can't be run successfully beacuse the executor of proc1 is u1 and
I didn't grant any permission to user u1. So it will return a error message like The INSERT permission was denied on the object 't', database 'tempdb', schema 'dbo'
To my surprise, the "exec p1" command could run successfully..
Why?

hi out there
On our Windows 2003 servers w. sp1 and running MS SQL Server 2000 w. sp4 we
see from time to time that we get this error "cannot allocate 64k
continous memory" or "SQL Server could not spawn process_loginread thread"
which could be caused by nothing left in the "Memtoleave" pool - I have now
search for advice on how to determine the values for the -g-switch - but
without much success - and if I just go for the "try&error" concept my
sql-server just allocates less and less ??? - ehh - in which units are the
parameters for the -g option specified - bytes, kilobytes, mbytes - 4k block
???? Any suggestions for measuring the actual running value of this pool -
memtoleave ??
best regards /ti
Hey again,
So here's what I'm trying to do: I have three columns of data. Sometimes only one of the columns will contain a value while others may contain a null. If two or three contain a value it will be the same. So if I'm building a table in the layout designed and I want the value of the table to be the value stored in these columns. In pseudocode it looks like this:
Switch(column1 and column2 are null, value = column3, if column1 and column3 are null, value = column2, otherwise, value = column1)
Something like that where column1 is the default so if column 1 has a value then set the textbox value to it otherwise find a column that has it. I know that at least one column will definitely have a value. Anyone that can provide guidance on how to execute these I would appreciate it greatly.
Thank you!
What is the best way to delete ALL data in a table without the transaction log filling up? I do not need to log the deletions.Truncate Table ReportSearchRecordSets with NO_LOG?Delete * from table with NO_LOG?Thanks SQL Server 2005 newbie

Hi all,
This is a database on which there are continuous inserts and updates. Data is loaded into this database in bulk at regular intervals. I do not back up the transaction log. For these reasons, I have set the options, 'select into/bulk copy' and 'truncate log on checkpoint'. When the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option was not set, the log file would grow very huge and fill up the entire disk space(file growth is unlimited). But, even after the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option has been set, the log file does grow at times to fill up the entire disk. I assumed that since the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option was set, the inactive portion of the log would be truncated every 1 minute(ie, during every checkpoint). Could someone please explain the reason for this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Praveena
hello,
Daily, after a database backup done in the evening, around 3am we have a lot of flat files to integrate in tables and then process.
The question is : We want to free the space used by the transation log.
Then, we use "backup log with no_log" and/or "backup log with truncate_only"
We look at the size of the transaction log with "dbcc sqlperf( logspace )" but the 'Log space used %' stays the same.
Could you give us some informations or tips on this.
Thank you from Paris

Recently I start working with SQL 6.5 server on NT4 (sp6)
Before me someone make abnormal reinstallation of this SQL server.
after that server need to be restarted every day
On the database edit window I have seen that Avaluable Log Space is 0
and in the course of working with device have seen that device definition
is erroneous. the path to file is different from the name of file,
i.e. in device defined (D:aaa03_log) and actually present file
(D:aaalog_03)
and as result every operation on device get the error.
I have change the name of the file to match the sql device definitions but
first this don't helped.
I have added new device and expanded the database log on it, but Avaluable Log Space remains 0.
After a number of restarts I noticed that old erroneous device is now
become visible and I can work with it, for instance expand it. But Avaluable Log Space remains 0 and in the sql monitor I also see that log occupied 100% of avaluable space.
May be transaction log located with data and I just can't see that ?
There is option on database edit window: Truncate transaction Log
and I want run it. The organisation don't interested in log. main thing is that the data will be safe.
Is it the right thing to do?
Tanks to everyone who can help
