ADO.NET SQL-Server Text Data Type
Hi, dear
I need to get the full text of a text datatype collumn of a sql-server table.
I tried the example of this link (http://www.kbalertz.com/Feedback_317034.aspx) and change getbytes to getchars and I didn't get the full
text. What's wrong? How can I get the full text?
Thank you very much.

TEXT Data Type In SQL Server
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have a SQL Server TEXT Data Type field which stores a long description. However when I update it from C# (ASP.net) through a textbox, it seems to cut off a part of the data if the number of characters is a big size (+- more than 577 characters). I pass the data from then textbox to a string, but as soon as I run the Create/Update stored procedure that gets passed the string field, it seems to chop off the string. What am I doing wrong? Should one rather use a SQL Server string field for descriptions (+-1000 characters long) or should one use the TEXT field for this purpose? Which one's performance is better?

Text Type Data Transfer Bw 2 Sql Server
We use SQLServer 6.5 as our server part. We had to migrate our sqlserver from one NT machine A to another NT machine B. We used the Object/data transfer to transfer from A to B after registering both the servers on server B. One table which i have transferred has three columns having Text as the datatype. The transfer was successful. In server B (to which the database was transferred) On running DBCC soon after transfer on that table, the result is : no errors found. Now if i add a new entry or start modifying data in that table, then after a few updates i get the 806 error indicating null pointer found. I presume that it is due to the text type columns present. I again run the DBCC check on that table nd i get a whole set of records whose data has been corrupted. The same records work perfectly in the server A on that table without any problems. I wanted to know whether text type columns have a bearing on the hardware setting on the machine. Can any one Highlight on this. I tried BCP, but it taken a hell lot of time to output the data. Is BCP the only safe choice?. Please email ur suggestions to psbhat321@yahoo.com Thanks

Convert Text Data Type To Smalldatetime Data Type
I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible? I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail. SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime) FROM panelists the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'. I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing. Thanks for the help!

Move Text Data (not A File) Into An Image Data Type
The ERP manufacturer used an image data type to store large text data fields. I am trying to move these data types from one database to another database using either Sql Queries or MS Access. I can cast them as an 8000 char varchar to read them directly but have no luck importing into these image data fields. Access and Crystal are not able to read these fields directly. Any suggestions? Most information about these fields has to do with loading files but I am just moving data. Thanks, Ray

Text Data Type
Hi All, In the SQL Server documentation, it is said that, the text data type will contain upto 2GB size. I assumed it will save upto 2GB. But what happened is, it saves only 255 characters all others were truncated. Is there anything wrong with me? Or the wrong is with the SQL Server? Thanks, Amjath

Text Data Type
I'm having a bit of a problem with this data type. It is supposed to be able to store about 2,147,483,647 characters, but when I enter more than about 1,834 characters no more charaters can be stored. Has anyone experienced this and knows how to allow up to the 2,147,483,647 characters. Is it anything to do with another SQL Server setting or variable that needs to be changed Thank you in advance for helping on this. Regards Steve Fouracre Steve Fouracre

Using Group By For Text Data Type
Hi,I have a problem on an old app. This application is a Help Desk, any Computer related problem (Motherboard Burn Out, Software Crash, dll) on my company will be recorded using this Help Desk application.One month ago, some programmer found a bug in this program lead to many duplicate data on database. But too late, This program has entered production stage and used for more than 2 years. This bug only happen at some condition so I found out after 2 years running (when my boss reported there are some duplicate data on "helpDesk" table).The bug is solved but helpDesk table need some "cleaning" operation. Here is structure of that table :helpDesk Table- id (primary key, integer auto increment)- reported_by (varchar 200)- problem_title (varchar 200)- problem_description (text)- date_summited (datetime)well usualy if I want to find some duplicate data I wil type :SELECT MAX(uid) AS uid, reported_by, problem_title, COUNT(uid) AS total_duplicateFROM problemsGROUP BY problem_title, problem_description,uidHAVING (COUNT(uid) > 1)But that query will not work because problem_description data type is "text" which not support "group by" statement.Any other Idea how to locate and cleaning up this duplicate data?thanks

Text Data Type And Performance
I was wondering if someone could clear this up for me... I have a table that will be used to store information about products that I will be selling on a new website. I would like to store each product in a table which will include a description of around 1000 words. I was deliberating over whether to store this chunk of text in a column with the data type set as 'text', or to store the text in a seperate txt file on the server. The search facility on the site will not be required to query this text so which would offer the best in terms of performance?

Problem With Using A 'text' Data Type.
I am using a 'text' data type in a table and am having trouble adding data to it. I'm using an MS Access ADP project front end for my forms. I want to copy and paste from a text editor such as NotePad to a 'text' data type field in a form. There appears to be a limit that the field will accept which is much below the 2GB size that is allowed for the field. I get the following error message: "The text is too long to be edited." Once I get this error I can add characters from the keyboard but eventually the field will not accept any more characters. Typing or pasting does nothing. I can delete. So I've hit a limit but I'm not sure if it is in Access or SQL Server. Any help would be appreciated. Dennis Geasan

DB Mail + Text Data Type
So, I'm trying to send newsletters using the new DB Mail with SQL 2005. The newsletter content is HTML and has the ability to be larger than the varchar data-type can handle AND the text data-type is not available locally. No sweat ... I'll just create a dynamic EXEC - SELECT statement and feed the content directly to DB Mail out of the table. So far, I've tried ... EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @body=SELECT content FROM tablename EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail SELECT @body=content FROM tablename NO DICE! ACK! I know this must be possible, but I'm getting no where. Any ideas? Thanks!

SQL Query:TEXT Data Type Operators
If anyone could help me on this i would really appretiate it. It's basically a stupid problem, that i am really not understanding. I'm making a query on a table named 'News' In this table 2 of the fields i have are: date type DATE news type TEXT I am now making a query, and adding a 3 column. On this 3rd column i want to add a few words to the TEXT variable. And that's when my problem starts! If i had 2 char variables, i could do like 'abc' + 'def' and i would have the result 'abcdef'. But how to add a few lines of text to a TEXT data type variable??? Can't find the solution anywhere. Just a few words on the end of the TEXT variable. Basically what i will want after that problem is solved is to convert the data to string and add it to the news TEXT variable.... simple as that.... on every line. This should be simple, except i don't know what are the TEXT data type OPERATORS and FUNCTIONS... well... i think this is simple now to understand... but in any case I'll be around to explain better anything you need to help me. Thanks in advance to all!

Data Type Text + Transfer Objects
Hi, I'm running SQL 7 and made a field of the data type text. Now in books online it says that it can contain a vast amount of data, over 10^9 characters or something. I can insert, delete, read everything I want, but .... when I transfer the table to another database using ''transfer objects'' and all the right options, then only those rows get copied which contain less than 10^6 characters or so (I was not able to explicitely devise the bound). When I use the option ''copy table'', then everything goes fine. The problem is that I do not want to treat this table anyt different from the others, so..... Also, you loose some information (e.g. about the keys and stuff) when you use this option. Anyone got a solution / comment ? Thanks, Fre

The Text Data Type Cannot Be Selected As DISTINCT Because It Is Not Comparable.
I'm having a problem building a query for an application I'm writing. Basically, there are a bunch of records in a table, and some of them may have the same identifier code. I only want one of each identifier code. The table looks like this: Memo --------- Msg_Identifier varchar(60) Memo_ID int (pk) Subject varchar(64) Message text Priority int Deleted int My query: SELECT DISTINCT Msg_Identifier, Memo_ID, Subject, Message, Priority FROM Memo WHERE Deleted = '0' When I run this query, I get "The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable." I only want Msg_Identifier to be the distinct field, and it's obviously not set up as text. I've used SELECT DISTINCT in the past but I don't ever recall hitting an issue like this. What's the best way to do it?

Problem Using Data Type Text As Output Parameter
Hello, My datalayer of C# code is invoking a stored procedure that returns a varchar(max) SQL data type. In my ASP.NET code, I have: SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("usp_GetTestString", myConnection); myCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@TestString", SqlDbType.Text)); myCommand.Parameters["@TestString"].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; myConnection.Open(); myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); return Convert.ToString(myCommand.Parameters["@TestString"].Value); The query fails to execute and returns an error: String[1]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0. If I change the SqlDbType.Text parameter type to SqlDBType.Varchar, 100 (or any other fixed varchar length), it works but limits the length my unlimited field text. Any suggestions on how I can use db type text or varchar(max)? The field I need to retrieve is string characters of unlimited length and hence the datatype varchar(max).

Alternative For LEFT() And CHARINDEX() That Works With Text Data Type
I have a stored procedure that receives a list of ids, to get the emails of each of those ids. The problem that I'm having is that I'm using a char data type that is max length is 8000, but the contact lists are getting bigger and soon they might reach the variable max length. The contact list that I receive will look something like this "1234,67523,67875,789687,", I'm using "," as a separator. Right now what I do is this @array_value = LEFT(@ContactList, @separator_position - 1) The LEFT function doesn't work with data types text and ntext. But I'm in need of a string data type with a max length bigger than 8000. So I will apreciate if anyone knows of another function that does the same or similar and works with text data type, or any other ideas will be welcome. Thanks, Erick

How To Return FTS Results From Varchar(MAX) Or Text Data Type Column?
I am unable to get FTS working where the column to be searched is type varchar(MAX) or Text. I can get this to work if my column to be indexed is some statically assigned array size such as varchar(1000). For instance this works, and will return all applicable results. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestHtml]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [PageText] [varchar](1000) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_TestHtml] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED SELECT * FROM TestHTML WHERE Contains(PageText, @searchterm); And this does not. It returns zero results what so ever. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestHtml]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [PageText] [varchar](MAX) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_TestHtml] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED SELECT * FROM TestHTML WHERE Contains(PageText, @searchterm); Could someone please tell me what I need to do to enable FTS on varchar(MAX) or Text columns?
