Double-byte In MSSQL


Experts,

i have trouble while insert/update a field which contains double-byte characters (Chinese Traditional).

NO PROBLEM if i m using Enterprise Manager to view/edit the data. They are retrieved properly in the following:
(1) Enterprise Manager
(2) Query Analyzer
(3) Visual Basic
(4) Command prompt isql

EACH of the Chinese words are become a qustion mark '?' if the UPDATE SQL or stored procedure executed in the following:
(2) Query Analyzer
(3) Visual Basic

WHILE (4) Command prompt isql does not have the problem for the same UPDATE SQL and stored procedure.

Do you have any idea?

We use MFG-PRO as our ERP system which in turn uses Progress databases. In the old version of SQL 2000, using DTS packages, we used to set the code page via command prompts and execute DTS packages within that command prompt to fetch data from our double byte ERP databases.

Double Byte databases, however, when we set the code page first and execute via a command prompt the SSIS package, we get the following error. We used a ADO.NET connection to connect to our Source ERP System. What shocks me is that this functionality works well in SQL Server 2000 DTS packages but not in the much publicized SSIS packages. The error messages are so cryptic as they used to be in DTS days and do not help a wee bit!
 
Appreciate any help.

Searching A String With Asian Characters (double Byte)
My problem is that i can't search a field that contains Asian characters (Korean in this case).

 

The table user_Access_tab have 2 keys:

access_id       nVarchar(50)

user_id            nVarchar(50)

 

The sql query below is sent through a oledbcommand to a sql server 2005 database.

 

"select access_id, access_right from user_Access_tab where user_id ='HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 오전 11:50:323401'"

 

It doesn't show any hits even thogh i know there is a number of matching records.

 

The question doesn't generate an answer in SQL server manager studio eigher.

 

If i change the datatype on user_id to Varchar(50) the id is presented (in the database) as:

HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 ?? 11:50:323401

 

Then the question works, but why doesn't it work with nVarChar(50)?

Byte[] Value In SQL Query...
 Hi people,I have a little problem with this!There are some variables in C# code:  int personID = 10;
string personName = "Tom";

System.IO.BinaryReader reader = new System.IO.BinaryReader(FileUploadPersonPhoto.PostedFile.InputStream);

byte[] personPhoto = reader.ReadBytes(FileUploadPersonPhoto.PostedFile.ContentLength); After that, there is a SQL query: string query = "INSERT INTO PersonTable (PersonID, PersonName, PersonPhoto) VALUES ("

+ personID + ", '" + personName + "', " + personPhoto + ")"; In Debug mode, value of the query is  "INSERT INTO PersonTable (PersonID, PersonName, PersonPhoto) VALUES (10, 'Tom', System.Byte[])" and it does not work! Is there any prefix or something else that I should put and make it work?Thank you in advance!P.S. Do not want to use sql parameters at this piont!

SQL Binary To C# Byte[]
I have a binary column with length 20 in SQL server table. I store dynamically C# byte[] value range from 0 to 19. So for example, If I store length of 16 and when I try to retrive it back into byte [] in C# it returns whole length 20. When I see in debug it has value from 0 to 15 which I want to use but from 16 to 19 is zero. How can I get just length value which I stored.

I use DataRow to get whole row and from the row object I extract byte [] based on column name.

DATEADD With 8 Byte Int?

CLR UDT Max Byte Size
Hello,

I need some help working with CLR UDTs. I have created two UDTs called trajectory and point. Each trajectory consists of a list of points. Each point consists of three members : lon( type double), lat( type double) and datetime.

I have written my own IBinarySerialize.Write method for the trajectory type which is the following:

Dim maxSize As Integer = 4000
Dim value As String = ""
Dim paddedvalue As String

Dim i As Integer
Dim pt As Point

For i = 0 To point_list.Count - 1

pt = point_list.Item(i)

If i = 0 Then
value = value & pt.X & "|" & pt.Y & "|" & pt.D

Else

value = value & ">" & pt.X & "|" & pt.Y & "|" & pt.D
End If

Next

paddedvalue = value.PadRight(maxSize, ControlChars.NullChar)

For i = 0 To paddedvalue.Length - 1 Step 1
w.Write(paddedvalue(i))
Next

If I try to store 225 points for a trajectory then the following error occurs:

System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlTypeException: The buffer is insufficient. Read or write operation failed.

Why is that happening? The limit size for a UDT is 8000bytes. Each point needs 24Bytes (2*SizeOf(double) + sizeOf(Datetime)).

Please help

Doube Byte Characters
I want to store some double byte characters in a table. Originally I planed to change all data type of fields which will store double bytes from VARCHAR() to NVARCHAR(). But i just found out we have no problem to pull and store foreign content(double byte characters) in fields with VARCHAR type( the content is showing correct after stored in database)

my question is : if VARCHAR can handle double byte character, what's the point of using NVARCHAR to store unicode character? any advice is appreciated.

Ftp Task- 0 Byte File
hi,

i'm using FTP task in my control flow and using *.xml to receive all files at a particular ftp location. Often I see that a 0 byte file is created by the IS package, instead of transferring the file. Is this a known bug? Is there a way to circumvent it? Also, on one of the occasions, the package just hanged for about 60 minutes (while atttempting to receive the file). FTP Connection timeout was set to default (60 sec), I wonder why the FTP task didnt return a timeout error!

Any clues?

Create Certificate From Byte[]
Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can create a certificate from a byte[].  For example, you can create an assembly using CREATE ASSEMBLY FROM 0x...; specifying the hex representation of it - can you do the same with a certificate?  This means that you don't need to save the file to disk before loading it into the database.

DTS: Handling Zero Byte Input Files
Good Day,

I have a situation where I need to be able to gracefully handle zero byte text files to be processed by DTS (using ActiveX Script transformations).

I have a job set up in SQL Server that executes several DTS packages, then executes a Transact SQL script to process the data imported by DTS. This all works fine, but there are instances where some of files have no data to be imported. This causes the entire job to fail -- I don't want to alter the job to continue on an error because there is a legimate potential for errors. I do, however, want to be to have the job continue if one of the DTS packages has no data to process. Is there a way (DTS object method, property) to check for the absence of data before the DTS package errors out? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Derived Column Can't Add 8-byte Integers
I'm having trouble adding a 4-byte integer with an 8-byte integer.  Here's what I'm doing:

 

Column Name: BIG_ID  

Derived Column:  < add as new column >      

Expression:   (DT_I8)[ID] + 840230000538058

Data Type:  eight-byte signed integer  {DT_I8]

 

The error I get:

 

The literal 840230000538058 is too large to fit into type DT_I4.  The magnitude of the literal overflows the type.

 

 

Then I try the expression:

 

(DT_I8)[ID] + (DT_I8)840230000538058

 

and

 

[ID] + 840230000538058

 

and get the same error.

 

 

What am I doing wrong?  Is it possible to add 2 8-byte integers in regular expression?  Why does it still think the literal is DT_I4?

 

Thanks,

Michael

Help: 900 Byte Limit On Stored Procedure Parameter?
Hi,I have a .NET application that I want to save the Config.EXE contentsto my SQL database for remote review/testing. This config file is3700+ bytes long. I created a field in one of my tables with a VARCHAR4800 and then created a stored procedure that receives a parameter(also VARCHAR(4800).However it fails to write anything if the length of the value that Ipass is anything greater than 900. If I pass exactly 900 characters orless - the data is written to the field. If I pass 901 characters Iget nothing.I'm suspicious since it is exactly 900. I seriously doubt it's somelimitation of MS-SQL so I need a nudge in the right direction.Thanks

I want to strip it down to 1500 byte records. So 1500*3500 = 5 MB (approx). The record size is always 1500 bytes.

Does anyone have a script that I can run on this file to achieve this break.

DTS - Zerp Byte File Import And DontExecuteTask
Hi, I'm a bit new to DTS but the problem I have encountered relates to importing a text file. On occasion the file is zero bytes which causes an error in DTS. I have added some VBScript to the workflow to check the filesize. If size > 0 then I set Main = DTSStepScriptResult_ExecuteTask otherwise Main = DTSStepScriptResult_DontExecuteTask. This all works fine except that when the file is 0 the dependent process that is waiting for completion/success does not run, presumably because the task was not run (as reqd). I have tried setting the status rather the DontExecuteTask but then the task runs anyway creating the error. Anyonw know how to get this to work or how to get around the problem?

I€™ve retrieved the byte array data from his database image fields and have successfully converted them to images using his ConvertByteArrayToImage method below.  I have also converted and image to a byte array with his ConvertImageToByteArray method below and succfully stored the data in a database image field.  However, when I retrieve the byte array data that I stored in the database the last line in his ConvertByteArrayToImage method throws an exception (Parameter is not valid).  I€™ve not been able to find a working copy of his code that€™s storing the byte array data.  Does anyone see anything I€™m overlooking?

Writing Byte Stream To Flat File Destination (ebcdic)
Hello all,
  I was trying to run a test to write a ebcdic file out with a comp - 3 number (testing this for other people) and have run into a problem writing the string out to the flat file destination.  I have the following script component:



Code Block
 
' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services user script component
' This is your new script component in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET
' ScriptMain is the entrypoint class for script components
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Public Overrides Sub CreateNewOutputRows()
'
' Add rows by calling AddRow method on member variable called "Buffer"
' E.g., MyOutputBuffer.AddRow() if your output was named "My Output"
'
Output0Buffer.AddRow()
Dim myByteArray() As Byte = {&H12, &H34, &H56, &H7F}
Output0Buffer.myByteStream = myByteArray
Output0Buffer.myString = "ABCD"
Output0Buffer.myString2 = "B123"
myByteArray = Nothing
End Sub
End Class
 
 


I have added myByteStream as a DT_BYTES length 4, myString as (DT_STR, 4, 37) and myString2 as (DT_STR, 4, 37) to the output 0 buffer. 
 
I then add a flat file destination with code set 37 (ebcdic us / canda) with the corresponding columns using fixed width.
 
When i place a dataviewer on the line between the two the output looks as I expect ("0x12 0x34 0x56 0x7F", "ABCD", "B123").  However, when it gets to the flat file destination it errors out with the following:
 



Code Block
[Flat File Destination [54]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "myByteStream" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
 
 
If i increase the size of the byte stream (say, to 50) the error goes away but I am left with the string "1234567F" instead of the appropriate hex values.  Any clues on how to go about this?  I obviously don't care if it gets transferred to "readable" text as this is supposed to be a binary stream, thus the no match in target page seems superfulous but is probably what is causing the problems.
 
NOTE: this is relating to the following thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2300539&SiteID=1) in that I am trying to determine why these people are not seeing the "UseBinaryFormat" when importing an EBCDIC file (i see this fine when i use an ftp'd file, but it auto converts to ascii) with comp-3 values.  I also see the "UseBinaryFormat" when I am importing a regular EBCDIC file which I create that has no import errors with zoned decimals.

Do Stored Procedures Have A Limit On Number Of Parameters Or Byte Size Passed In?
Hi,I'm using c# with a tableadapter to call stored procedures. I'm running into a problem where if I have over a certain byte size or number of parameters being passed into my stored proc I get an exception that reads: "Cannot evaluate expression because a thread is stopped at a point where garbage collection is impossible, possibly because the code is optimized." If I remove one parameter, the problem goes away. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks,Mark

Creating Index In MSSQL 2000 From MSSQL 2005
Hi,
 
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
 
Ex:- 

CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY

(ACTIVITY_NAME ASC, PROCESS_NAME ASC, START_TIME ASC, ISMONITORED ASC)

INCLUDE

(INSTANCE_ID, ACTIVITY_TYPE, STATUS, END_TIME, ORGANIZATION);
 

Any help in creating such indexes in 2000 version is welcome.
 
Thanks,
Suresh.

Migration MSSQL 2000 32-bit To MSSQL 2005 64-bit
I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.

Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.

I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.

I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.

Upgrade options:

1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via:
a. DETACH / ATTACH
b. BACKUP / RESTORE
c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result?
2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases?
3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.

Has Any One Ever Used Double Take?
http://oldbbs.dlbaobei.com/qwer1234/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5kb3VibGV0YWtlLmNvbS9wcm 9kdWN0cy9kb3VibGUtdGFrZS9kZWZhdWx0LmFzcHg%3DMy concern is this ..Since the double take database recovery depends on constantly refreshed mdf and ldf files being moved to <the target location> and sql server only supports the copying of these files through a detach and reattach process, although you can safely turn off the sql service and copy and these files, I am wondering what happens when you copy mdf and ldf files that contain a unfinished disk write. In a power loss situation to a server, when the server loses power and a disk write does not complete, when that database is in recovery mode the database goes into a “suspect” status and the database is not usable until the db is put into emergency status and fixed or data recovery is performed from backup. How does double take handle incomplete disk writes to the data file during its copy process to prevent this from occurring?Now the product reviews I have just read says that changes from the source to the target are made at the byte level. So if a byte is changed, that byte is moved to your target server. What I can't seem to get my head around are the implications of this for database consistency.Anyone have any light to shed for me?

Double Sum In SQL?
Hello all!

I have three columns of data... Test Name, Test Parameter, Test Result.

I have one column that sums all failed tests grouped by Test Name, and Test Parameter

ie, select Test Name, sum(rows of tests that failed) Failed
etc etc
group by Test Name, Test Parameter

But I also want a column that sums only based on Test Name, regardless of test parameter...so should I try to do something like "sum(Failed)" group by Test Name....in some kind of sub query, or what would you suggest? I know there will be duplicate entries.

Thanks for any help

Double Summation
I have some data -- counts ID'd by location and grid East like this --Loc East NCA 100 3CA 103 5CA 109 2CA 110 3I'm interested in the total of N on either side of the largest gap inEastings.In this case the largest gap is 6 (between 103 and 109), and the sum ofN for the 2 rows below the gap is 8, and for the 2 above the gap it's5.The problem is to locate the largest gap, and compute the sum of N forthe cases on either side. There are multiple locations, multipleEastingsper location, but only one largest gap. (If there are two largestgaps, itdoes't matter which one is used for the sums.)I can do this with multiple passes -- first locate the largest gap,then goback and locate the Eastings on either side, then sum up the Ns.That'srealy clumsy, I can't figure out how to do it more quickly, and I'm notsurewhat I'm doing is right. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Jim Geissman

Help On Filtering Double Id
Hi everybody..

have this table and I want to filter only those records that has it's id's appearing more than one.


table

id field1

1 ! first
1 ! second
2 ! first
3 ! first
3 ! second
4 ! first

the result should be

id field1

1 ! first
1 ! second
3 ! first
3 ! second

am using this query

select field1, id, count(id) as countid
FROM table1
GROUP BY field1
HAVING count(id) >1

the countid column gives me always the value of one (don't know the reason) so I couldn't get the results I want

Double Summation?
I have 2 tables ZIPCROSS and HOUSEHOLDS. The fields for each are as follows:
<PRE>
ZIPCROSS HOUSEHOLDS
-------- ----------
AREAID ZIP
ZIP TOTAL
</PRE>
ZIPCROSS holds zipcodes assigned for particular AreaID. HOUSEHOLDS contains TOTAL number of household in each zipcode.

Now, I need to build a query that returns SUM of TOTAL for a given AREAID grouped by SCF (first 3 numbers of the zipcode) and SUM of TOTAL for a given SCF. Thus the results should look something like this:
<PRE>
AREAID SCF TOTAL SCFTOTAL
------ --- ------- ---------
1 900 1234 43210
1 901 2345 54321
</PRE>
etc... I can write a query that can get the right TOTAL or the right SCFTOTAL but not both on one query. The following query gives me the right SCFTOTAL but not TOTAL.

SELECT A.AREAID, LEFT(C.ZIP,3) AS SCF, SUM(D.TOTAL) AS TOTAL, SUM(E.TOTAL) AS SCFTOTAL
FROM AREAORDER A JOIN ZIPCROSS C ON A.AREAID=C.AREAID
JOIN HOUSEHOLDDATA D ON C.ZIP=D.ZIP
JOIN HOUSEHOLDDATA E ON LEFT(C.ZIP,3)=LEFT(E.ZIP,3)
WHERE A.MAILINGORDERID=133
GROUP BY A.AREAID, LEFT(C.ZIP,3)
ORDER BY A.AREAID, SCF

I'm aware of why this doesn't work but I can't seem to find the right approach. Any solutions? TIA.
