Hi,I'm making a translation thingie, that contains several languages. One ofthem is Danish and in one of my update scripts, I've come upon somethingstrange.I have a text containing the letter "å" which is a special Danish letter(along with ø and æ). When I create the data base and inserts the defaultdata everything is fine. But if I use an update script like:UPDATE [dbo].[TextControlLanguage]SET [Text] = 'Skabelonen er måske ikke gemt. Vil du gemme den?'WHERE TextControlID = 1217AND LanguageID = 1the "å" in "måske" gets lost. Do I have to some alpha nummeric code?How come that when inserting the default data everything is fine, but whenupdating the "å" is removed?/Hansen

I have a complex issue that has several steps.
Question 1.
I need to be able to update the following path in the database, a text field
[Info] NumAttachments=1 [Attachments] Attachment1=65513|C:Program FilesHEATHEATSelfServiceattachmentsWinter019997.htm
I need to update the path only to H:2007|( Winter019997.htm)Filename as in database.
Question 2
This needs to be done automatically so when attachments are being added this updates. How can I do this?
Question 3
I have the attachments saved in this location C:Program Files etc… I need them moved to another location on the network. How can I do this?
I am trying to update text fields where the field only has the value"closed." So a field that has closed and anything else will not beupdated.update dbo.Histset dbo.Hist.Notes = ''FROM dbo.HistWHERE (Notes LIKE 'closed_')update dbo.Histset dbo.Hist.Notes = ''FROM dbo.HistWHERE (Notes LIKE 'closed%') and len(convert(varchar(7000),notes)) = 7Neither code works and i get this error: "Subquery returned more than1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <=, >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.The statement has been terminated."What's another way to make the update?

However, I need to get this one thing working and don't havea clue where to start.I have a comma-delimited file that's delivered to the server everynight that contains updates to one of the tables. I'm trying tocreate a DTS package that will read in the text file and update all ofthe records contained in it, rather than simply append them to thebottom of the table (resulting in duplicate entries).I know how to schedule it and such, but if anyone can give me sometips on the design of the DTS package, it would be much appreciated.Thanks!- Steve Osit
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have portions of data coming in as text files containing new records and updates of existing records. The solution I've figured out till yet is to import a portion of data into some intermediate table and then run a stored procedure to migrate the data into the real table.
Any ideas how to do this in a more efficient way?

Hello, I have an aspx page with a text box. The user may enter a large portion of text including symbols like ' or ". On form submitting I would like a database (text or varchar(MAX) ) field to be updated with the value of the text box...The query that I have created for this purpose is the following: "string query ="UPDATE Article SET A_Content='" + content + "' WHERE A_Id=" + id; As I said before the user may (and in most cases must) enter special characters like ' (example: bla bla blah it's very good bla bla blah).The problem is that ' or " close the query string (SQL) and interpreter things that I am reffering to a field's name instead of the fields value (I think) resulting the following error:The identifier that starts with...is too long.Maximum length is 128.Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ...I think that it must be a very common problem with many solutions but for some reason I cant find anything on the web.What is the common practice to overcome the problem?Is there a function that might transform text into SQL acceptable text?Should I create methods for Replacing ' with other characters like ^^^ (text can be quite big...)?Thanx for any suggestions!

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I create a row with a nullable text column whose initial value is null and then update the column with a value that is exactly 256 characters long, the value remains null. Once I update the column to any other value (including null), it works as expected. I have not yet seen a way around this.

Hello all,
I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:
Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.
I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.
It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.
So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.
Thanks for the help in advance!

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I create an update statement that will allow me to fill in a column if the previous column already has data in it? I am trying to do and UPDATE/SET command that allows me to extract information and populate columns within a table. However, the UPDATE/SET has to make sure that it is not overwriting information that is already in the column and if there is, to populate the column next to it, and so on until all the columns are populated.
Here is my table:
Code:
create table #add_diags(
add_diag_1 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_2 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_3 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_4 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_5 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_6 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_7 varchar(10) null,
add_diag_8 varchar(10) null
)
In my UPDATE/SET I am pulling data from another table to populate into the 'add_diag' columns however, I'm not sure how to write in SQL the ability to monitor all the columns, and if for example the first three are full to then populate into the fourth and so on.
Here is my UPDATE/SET statement (while involved, I think I need something in my WHERE clause in order for this to be resolved):
Code:
update ad
set add_diag_1=dsm_code
from #add_diags ad
join Doc_Entity de
on ad.patient_id=de.patient_id
and ad.episode_id=de.episode_id
and doc_code = 'DCDIAG'
join Patient_Assignment pa
on de.patient_assignment_id = pa.patient_assignment_id
and convert(char(8),de.effective_date,112) = convert(char(8),pa.date_discharged,112)
left outer join Doc_Diag_Axis_I_III dx1
on de.doc_session_no=dx1.doc_session_no
and de.current_version_no=dx1.version_no
where dx1.sequence_no=2
and de.is_locked = 'Y'
and dx1.rule_out = 'N'
and is_billable = 'Y'
and dx1.axis_type IN ('1','2')
and de.status in ('CO' , 'SA')
Any ideas? Thanks!

View 1 Replies View RelatedPlease excuse my ignorance. I've researched this and it appears I am asking to do something that is ridiculous, so please let me know what is wrong with my design (or my brain). I'd like to update an ID number in a table. It is an identity column. In my solution I'm adding a lot of new entries into my table and deleting old ones. Call me anal, but It's driving me nuts that my ID numbers are growing so large so quickly and that I have so many unused ID's. If you were to look over my data ID's they would be something like 1,3,45,78,88,89,103,140,219. What I'm trying to do is renumber my data so that my data currently at say ID# 1067 can be moved to the unused ID#2, etc. So I either need a way to update an Identity column...or I need a way find the lowest unused number among a list of ID's. So is there anyway to achieve what I am trying to do? I see this guy had my same OCD issue (without a solution) :-(

hi i want to update column with new value in a table is it possible to do so in stored procedure . the name of the column will be an input to stored procedure ie at the time of writing the stored procedure i dont know which column the user will be updating
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of the SQL statement to add additional comuns to an existing table. I know i can do it through enterprise managaer, but I want to see if I can do it from query analyzer or some script to add columns without having to recreate the table. Or a way to save off the data and recreate the table then placing data back in? I hope that makes sense. I am thinking of this from the sens of doing all updates through source safe
Thanks!
If amc.amc2>0 then
“UPDATE amc set AMC2= AMC2 + “ & val(txtamt.text) & “where am1=1”
else if amc.amc2<0 then
“UPDATE amc set AMC2= “ & val(txtamt.text) & “where am1=1”
end if
Here I check the value of column with if condition statement. I need to check the column with out if condition statement.
What is my doubt is that how I can check value of amc2 column while updating.
eg: update amc set case when amc2>0 then AMC2= AMC2 + “ & val(txtamt.text)
like this
Is it possible with “case-when -end”?
If it is possible I can solve a big problem in my project.
Can you give me an example with this query?

Hi all,
I'm trying to update various rows in my DB with a new value once an action occurs. I am using the following code which does not throw any exceptions, but also does not change the values. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
public static void ChangeRefCode()

SqlDataAdapter dataAdapt = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * from Posting",dbConn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
SqlCommandBuilder sqBuilder = new SqlCommandBuilder(dataAdapt);
dataAdapt.Fill(ds, "Posting");
foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables["Posting"].Rows)
{
dr["ref_code"] = DateTime.Today.Ticks + "-" + dr["poster"].ToString();

try

Hello
I am trying to update a column within a table. I need to change all the (null) to yes. But I keep seeing Error: 0 record(s) affected. What is wrong with my syntax.
My table name: Cat_B

Update to: yes
This is the syntax I have tried:
UPDATE Cat_B
SET Blog = 'yes'
Where Blog = '(null)'
Thanks

My goal is to with one update statement, fill TABLE1.counter (currently empty) with the total count of TABLE2.e# (employee). Also, if TABLE1.e# isn't in TABLE2.e# then it sets it to "0" (TABLE1.e# 8 and 9 should have a counter of 0) This is for sqlplus.
e.g. TABLE2:
e#
--
1
2
3
4
5
5
6
7
7
1
2
3
4
5
UPDATE TABLE1
SET counter = (
SELECT COUNT(TABLE2.e#)
FROM TABLE2 INNER JOIN TABLE1 ON (TABLE2.e# = TABLE1.e#)
GROUP BY TABLE2.e#);
--^Doesn't work
so my TABLE1 should be:
e# counter
-----------
1 .. 2
2 .. 2
3 .. 2
4 .. 2
5 .. 3
6 .. 1
7 .. 2
8 .. 0
9 .. 0
(The .. is just spacing to show the table here)
