Quotes Within A Query

Jan 17, 2007

Help, please.

I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to form this SQL query. I am querying an Informix linked server and I need to pass a variable date. I am using an expression to create the query like so

"Select count(*) from " + @[User::varDBName] + ":informix.doc_tl WHERE " + @[User::varDBName] +":informix.doc_tl.d_received = {D " + @[User::varDate] +"} "

The informix query needs the date to be {D "2007-01-15"} but for the life of me, I can't get the date enclosed in quotes.

The error I get is

An OLE DB record is available. Source: "(null)". HResult: 0x80040E14

Description: "(null)"

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Escaping Quotes In Parameterized Query

Feb 7, 2008

Hi,

I have a parameterized query. The parameters contain data from my tables. Some of the parameters could include single quotes. The single quotes are wreaking havoc in my parameterized query. How can I replace single quotes with double quotes inside of my SQL stored
procedure?

I know that it's something similar to REPLACE(@variablename, '''''', ''''''''), but I can't get the number of quotes right.

All of the examples that I am seeing are converting the quotes inside of an application. This is not an option for me, as I am calling this stored procedure from a SQL job that will run daily.

Thx.

Query With Single Quotes Using OPENROWSET

Jul 23, 2005

I'm trying to pass through a SQL statement to an Oracle database usingOPENROWSET. My problem is that I'm not sure of the exact syntax I needto use when the SQL statement itself contains single quotes.Unfortunately, OPENROWSET doesn't allow me to use parameters so I can'tget around the problem by assigning the SQL statement to a parameter oftype varchar or nvarchar as inSELECT *FROM OPENROWSET('MSDAORA','myconnection';'myusername';' mypassword',@chvSQL)I tried doubling the single quotes as inSELECT *FROM OPENROWSET('MSDAORA','myconnection';'myusername';' mypassword','SELECT *FROM AWHERE DateCol > To_Date(''2002-12-01'', ''yyyy-mm-dd'')')But that didn't work. Is there a way out of this?Thanks,Bill E.Hollywood, FL

OPENQUERY With Quotes In The Query String

Jan 17, 2008

Hello,

how can I use the following statement with OPENQERY syntax:

SELECT 'hello world' FROM mytable

Maybe I have to transform quite a few and complex SQL-statements to the OPENQUERY syntax. Obviously I have problems with single quotes

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(LINKEDSERVER, 'select 'hello world' from mytable')

quotename('hello world', '''') does not help because this will create 'hello world' instead of hello world (w/o quotes).

How can I transform my SQL-statements with quotes to Openquery syntax?

regards

Single Quotes And Double Quotes

Jan 3, 2002

I had a procdure in SQL 7.0 in which I am using both single quote and double quotes for string values. This proceudreused to work fine in SQL 7.0 but when I upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000, this proceudre stopped working. When I changed the double quotes to single quotes, it worked fine.

Any Idea why ??

String Quotes Between ' And "

Aug 8, 2001

Hi,

Your help would be appreciated if you could give me some idea about why SQL 2000 takes single quote(') as a default for string searching instead of double quotes("). I have couple of stored procedures which were developed with string comparison with double quotes in SQL 6.5. If any one knows how I can change default as a double quotes(") instead of single quote(') in SQL 2000, would be great. Thanks

Quotes In SQL Statement

Jan 13, 2005

This is the sql statement I have:

Code:

select * from tblCalls where TNum = [NUMBER] and Street like '[TEXT]'


The problem is that the Street field contains street names with quotes (ex. DE L'ACADIE). When I run this query using this street name, it doesn't work because of the ' between the L and the A. How can I tell SQL to "ignore" the ' in the text?

Identifying Quotes

Mar 23, 2007

Has previous work been done on this? Is their a library one can download? Here's the problem. In an aricle a person or author may make a statement about a subject or a person. I am making a database on this.

For example, here in Israel, PM Olmert may make a statement on the teacher's strike or on Abu Mazen. The article may say, speaking of Mazen, Olmert said such and such. PM Olmert said, "xxxxxxx......." with the previous material making it clear whathe was speaking of.

Right now I have ugly code. Is there a neat way of doing this?

If this is the wrong forum, can somebody direct me to the right forum?

Thanks.

Triple Single Quotes

Dec 3, 2003

I was having some issues with converting this @BeginDate(which is passed in as a datetime) correctly and someone suggested the syntax below. It enloses it in triple single quotes. That seemed to work, but it also seems to work with single quotes too. Can someone explain the use of triple single quotes in stored procedures?

Single Quotes And Parameters

Dec 17, 2003

Help please! I have a problem with passing quotes in a parameter. I am using asp.net (vb) passing a parameter to a stored procedure.

Here is an example of the parameter I am passing from the asp page.

strIndexFilesFound = " 'file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf' "
.......Parameters("@IndexFilesFound").Value = strIndexFilesFound

And the Procedure parts

...
@IndexFilesFound char(100) = ''
....
WHERE IndexFile IN(@IndexFilesFound)


The result should be that the where query receives the data like this.
WHERE IndexFile IN ('file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf')

The number of files passed is unknown for any given query.

Much Thanks!

Single Quote Becoming Two Quotes

Jan 18, 2001

I have 2 SQL 6.5 databases on separate servers. Server A replicates a text field into a table on server B.

On server A the field contains text similar to THIS IS FRED'S HOUSE. After replication to Server B it looks like THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. The distribution database also has it as THIS IS FRED''S HOUSE. Using ODBC trace I cannot see the value being passed in the text field as it is displayed as a question mark e.g. ?.

How do I fix the problem ?

BCP And Commas/double-quotes

Jul 30, 1999

Hello all,

I am using SQL Server 6.5 SP5a.

I have to use bcp to import two text files everyday for database update. The problem is that some of the character fields that are being imported have double-quotes and/or commas in them. When these are imported into the SQL Server tables additional double quotes are being added into these strings.

Example:
INCOMING STRING = a"a
IMPORTED STRING = "a""a"

INCOMING STRING = b,b
IMPORTED STRING = "b,b"


I have searched through BOL and have not been able to find any information.

Does anyone know what is causing this and if so how to correct it?

Thanks,

Handling Quotes And Apostraphies

Aug 6, 1998

I`m new to sql and am having trouble with updates. I`m trying to make a web page where people can enter text and have it submitted to the database. The problem is that I need to let people submit text with quotes (single and double). When my cgi generates the sql, the quotes cause problems with the dbms (ie. in the statement:

UPDATE mytable SET thetext = `This is Joe`s text.` WHERE user = `joe`

the apostraphy in "joe`s" is interpreted as meaning the end of the string to enter into "thetext" ). I expect that there`s some escape character that I don`t know about? I know this is a very basic question, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

SSIS And CSVs With Quotes

Jun 11, 2009

I have a CSV with some columns containing quoted text with the text itself containing quotes.

I'm trying to use a Flat File Source in SSIS. I've set a double quote as the text qualifier (") and comma as the delimiter. The trouble I'm having is getting to text that contains a double quote like in the following example;

123,"xyz","Don't you hate when MS say's it's a "feature" and not a bug","more data"

SSIS is seeing the first quote as a text qualifier and the second quote as the end of the text. Because the next delimiter is not found (in this case a comma), it returns;

[staging_output [4195]] Error: The column delimiter for column "Column 3" was not found.

How I can get SSIS to treat the whole column as a single piece of text that just happens to contain quotes?

Trouble With Single Quotes

May 3, 2004

Hello Everyone!

I am having a problem with updating a password within a table. Below is the old and new password that needs to be updated.
Old2"3("-"3#@(%P="''_DD@D*
New :"I+)#]*1#E,%R-''7^,TEA$X&^O_-68DIK,@

Below is the query that I am trying to run. I believe my problem is becuase of the Single Quotes found within both the old and new password.

I have tried to escape the single quotes, @local_variable, CHAR(39) and other ways of playing with the string. I cannot seem to find a solution.

If you were to ignore the update statement, the SELECT statement would return no results even though the PRINT statement displays the required data.
This is what baffles me and why I cannot run the UPDATE statement, becuase of course, nothing would be updated since no results were returned.

Can anyone offer their assistance?

Thank you in advance.

Losing Double Quotes??

Aug 10, 2007

Hi,

I have written a little bit of VB.NET code that basically takes three strings, transforms them, and returns a single string to be stored in my table.

I am running into a strange problem, however... for some reason, a number of my processed rows are missing a pair of double quotes (").

The vast majority of the records are formatted properly, and have the double quotes in the expected locations.

The most frustrating thing about it is that I have included the offensive input strings in my Test.sql test script, and when I step through the entire routine, the return value is perfect...

i apologize for being the worst ever at posting questions here, please let me know if i can add anything

Double Quotes In CSV File

Oct 24, 2006

I have a lot of data coming in from CSV files.  I have many CSV files (~20), with varying amounts of data- but some are quite large (largest file is ~230mb)

I'm trying to import it into a SQL database via SSIS, but the data is a little bit frustrating. 

I have data that looks like this:

"Text from vendor ""Vendor Name, Inc."" blah blah", "Next string", "", 1234

Many things to notice here - as well you can imagine some of the difficulties here.

After parsing, this data should have 4 columns-

Column1                                                                          Column2              Column3               Column4

Text From Vendor "Vendor Name, Inc." blah blah      Next string            <blank>                1234

The biggest problems stem from the double quotes mixed in with the comma because it is a comma delimited file with quotes as the text qualifier.  The other problem is the double quotes with blank text ... which prevents me from doing a replace on the double quotes ... I think ...

What would be your suggestions to help me parse this out?  (don't forget, some of these are large files with about 260,000 records- )

Thanks in advance,

Rob

How To INSERT Text That Contains Single Quotes?

Nov 7, 2006

When users enter text into a textbox, to be INSERTed into my table, SQL Server throws an error if their text contains a single quote.
For example, if they enter "It's great!" then it causes this error:Error: Incorrect syntax near 's'. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
How can I allow text with single quotes to be inserted into the table?
 
Here's my code: 
string strInsert = "INSERT INTO [Comments] ([GameID], [UserID], [Comment]) VALUES (@GameID, @UserID, @Comment)";
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(<<myconnectionstuff>>);SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strInsert, myConnection);
myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@GameID", Request.QueryString["GameID"] );myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@UserID", (string)Session["UserID"] );myCommand.Parameters.Add( "@Comment", ThisUserCommentTextBox.Text );
try {myCommand.Connection.Open();myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();}
catch (SqlException ex) {ErrorLabel.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;}
finally {myCommand.Connection.Close();}

How To INSERT A String That Contains Single-quotes?

Dec 28, 2006

My code results in SQL statements like the following one - and it gives an error because of the extra single-quotes in 'it's great': 
UPDATE Comments SET Comment='it's great' WHERE UserID='joe' AND GameID='503'
Here's the error I get when I try this code in SQL Server: 
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near 's'.Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
I need to know how I can insert a string such as 'it's great' - how do I deal with the extra quotes issue? is there a way to ecape it like this 'it/'s great' ? This doesn't seem to work.
Here's the code that generates the SQL. I'm using a FCKeditor box instead of a TextBox, but I got the same error when I was using the TextBox:
string strUpdate = "UPDATE Comments SET Comment='";strUpdate = strUpdate + FCKeditor1.Value;//strUpdate = strUpdate + ThisUserCommentTextBox.Text;strUpdate = strUpdate + "' WHERE UserID='";strUpdate = strUpdate + (string)Session["UserID"];strUpdate = strUpdate + "'";strUpdate = strUpdate + " AND GameID='";strUpdate = strUpdate + Request.QueryString["GameID"];strUpdate = strUpdate + "'";
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(...);SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strUpdate, myConnection);
try{myCommand.Connection.Open();myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();}catch (SqlException ex){ErrorLabel.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;
}finally{myCommand.Connection.Close();}
 
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 
Much thanks
