SQL Server 2012 :: Unable To Add More Than Around 4000 Characters To A Job Step

Apr 29, 2015

SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition (11.0.5058.0) on Windows Server 2008 R2

At some point a few months ago we encountered an issue where we hit some size limit on the amount of text we could enter into a Transact-SQL step of an Agent job. Attempting to create a job like this with sp_add_job will produce the error

Msg 50000, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_add_jobstep_internal, Line 255
String or binary data would be truncated.

Adding the job step via SSMS yields

Alter failed for JobStep 'xxx'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Additional information:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 8152)

I've checked sp_add_jobstep_internal, sp_add_jobstep and the sysjobsteps table and all references to the command field are nvarchar(max). We can run the same job creation code without error on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition machine and two SQL Server 2012 SP2 Developer Edition boxes. All our 2012 servers were fresh installs, not upgrades.

Transact SQL :: Unable To Add More Than Around 4000 Characters To A Job Step

A trigger existed on the job steps table which captured any changes before and after. The insert table was limited changes to 4000 characters.

SQL 2012 :: Check Constraints Have A Definition That Is Longer Than 4000 Characters

Oct 14, 2015

I'm putting a process together to run a DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS process against copies of client databases.The author application doesn't set the constraints as trusted, and therefore we need to check the integrity of the data.

The problem is that some of the Check constraints have a definition that is longer than 4,000 characters.When this is the case, DBCC CHECK CONSTRAINTS fails.One option is that I write a cursor to select the constraints that have a definition less than 4,000 characters and then call the DBCC command for those particular constraints. However, I'd prefer a more elegant approach - ideally a way to run DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS against all constraints regardless of the length of the definition

SQL Server Compact Edition Ntext Fails With String Over 4000 Characters

Jan 25, 2008

This is with SQLCe NET 3.5.0.0 running on Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008, not on a Windows mobile operating system.

The following code fails with ntext entries above 4000 characters:

Dim cn As New SqlCeConnection(ConnectString())
If cn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
cn.Open()
End If
Dim info as string

info = "This is lengthy text".PadLeft(4200)
Dim cmd As SqlCeCommand

strSQL = "create table testTable ("
strSQL &= "docType nvarchar (50) NULL, "
strSQL &= "docFlag nvarchar(10) NULL, "
strSQL &= "docData ntext NULL, "
strSQL &= " )"

cmd = New SqlCeCommand(strSQL, cn)
Try
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch sqlexception As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(sqlexception.Message & vbNewLine & strSQL, "Table Error 7", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Table Error 8", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
Finally
cn.Close()
End Try
If cn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
cn.Open()
End If

'---- insert a row into the testTable

strSQL = "INSERT INTO testTable ("
strSQL &= "docType, "
strSQL &= "docFlag, "
strSQL &= "docData, "
strSQL &= ") "
strSQL &= "VALUES ("
strSQL &= "@docType, "
strSQL &= "@docFlag, "
strSQL &= "@docData, "
strSQL &= ")"

Try
cmd = New SqlCeCommand(strSQL, cn)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@docType", "a type")
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@docFlag", "a flag")
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@docData", info)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch sqlexception As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(sqlexception.Message, "Table Error 9", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Table Error 10", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
Finally
cn.Close()
End Try
End If

Changing the cmd.Parameters as follows works:

Dim paramdocData As SqlCeParameter
Try
cmd = New SqlCeCommand(strSQL, cn)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@docType", "a type")
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@docFlag", "a flag")
paramdocData = cmd.Parameters.Add("docData", SqlDbType.NText)
paramdocData.Value = info
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch sqlexception As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(sqlexception.Message, "Table Error 9", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Table Error 10", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
Finally
cn.Close()
End Try

Expressions Using Values Of More Than 4000 Characters

Mar 31, 2008

Is it not possible for expressions to work with variables that contain more than 4000 characters? I've heard of a limitation of expressions and 4000 characters, but I thought this meant that the expression itself cannot be more than 4000 characters -- not that the expression cannot work with values of more than 4000 characters.

For example, I have a two variables:

Test1 (type = String):
Value = [Some really long string whose length is > 4000 characters]

Test2 (type = String, EvaluateAsExpression = True):
Expression = "-" + @[User::Test1] + "-"

Test2 throws the following error:

The variable User::Test1 contains a string that exceeds the maximum allowed length of 4000 characters.

Reading the variable "User::Test1" failed with error code 0xC0047100.

Why is there such a limitation when working with string values? This seems really restricting. Are there any possible workarounds?

Thanks in advance.

Return More Than 4000 Characters From CLR Stored Procedure

Mar 31, 2006

Hi,
I have a clr stored procedure that takes in 2 parameters, input xml and a query name. The stored procedure transforms the xml with a the xslt for the given query name (stored in a database). I am currently using and output parameter that is of type NVarChar(4000) to retrieve the xml in .net.
This all works fine unless the xml that is being transformed is greater than 4000 characters which will happen. Are there any ways of returning a string/xml greater than 4000 characters (in the region of 60-70k characters).

Thanks for your help

Unable To Open A DTS With An FTP Step. Help!

Feb 15, 2008

Hi all. I'm currently working with SQL Server 2K, and I've installed Analysis Services as well as SP4.

I previously wrote a DTS that had several FTP steps in it. I was able to view/edit/run this package until recently. We were testing out SQL Server '05, and when we uninstalled it, it really screwed up my install of SQL 2k.

Long story short, I've scrubbed the system and reinstalled SQL Server 2K, but am unable to open the DTS package. The error I get is:

Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Service (DTS) Package
Error Description: Unspecified Error

Then a prompt that says:
The selected package cannot be opened. The DTS Designer has been closed

I've googled like crazy, and have been unable to find any resolution on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This error pops up right after i change the type of the step to "SQL Server Intergration Services Package"

I have made the following configurations:

The user group (windows group) that the user belongs has the following roles in msdb :

db_dtsadmin
db_dtsltuser
db_dtsoperator
SQLAgentOperatorRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentUserRole

i have made a proxy to sql server agent which has the following subsystems :

"SQL Server Integration Services Provider" the proxy is tied to the same login which has those SQLagent and dts roles in msdb database.

Im using windows authentication and the user that logs into the sql server is in the same group that i have set all of the rights.

Ps. Clearly im missing some role or right somewhere because as soon as i give the group sysadmin role then all the users in that group can create SSIS steps in the agent.

Ps. Ps. I have been living under the impression that i dont have to give sysadmin rights to people that create ssis packages and schedule then with the agent.

SQL Server 2012 :: Extracting String Between Certain Characters

Aug 18, 2014

I need extracting string that is between certain characters that are in certain position.

Here is the DDL:

DROP TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest](
[StoreNumber] [varchar](50) NULL,
[StoreNumberParsed] [varchar](50) NULL)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]

[Code] ....

What I need to accomplish is to extract the string that is between the third and fifth '-' (dash) and insert it into the StoreNumberParsed while eliminating the fourth dash.

Sample output would be:

KY117
CA132
OH174
MD163
FL191

I know that parse, charindex, patindex all might come in play, but not sure how to construct the statement.

SQL Server 2012 :: Counting Characters In A String Before A Space

Jun 11, 2014

I am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.

"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.

SQL Server 2012 :: Strip Non-numeric Characters From A String

Jul 15, 2015

I am looking for the fastest way to strip non-numeric characters from a string.

I have a user database that has a column (USER_TELNO) in which the user can drop a telephone number (for example '+31 (0)12-123 456'). An extra computed column (FORMATTED_TELNO) should contain the formatted telephone number (31012123456 in the example)

Note: the column FORMATTED_TELNO must be indexed, so the UDF in the computed column has WITH SCHEMABINDING.... I think this implicates that a CLR call won't work....

SQL Server 2012 :: Removing Greek Characters From A String

Sep 17, 2015

I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.

DECLARE @Letters TABLE (Letter NVARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO @Letters VALUES ('a'), ('A'), ('b'), ('B'), ('α')
SELECTLetter, REPLACE(Letter,'α','alpha')
FROM@Letters

In this case, the "α" is being replaced, but so are "a" and "A".

I have tried changing the datatype from varchar to nvarchar and also changing the collation.

SQL Server 2012 :: Compare Characters Between 2 Strings And Eliminate Similarities

Oct 13, 2015

I am trying to write a function to compare the characters between 2 strings and eliminate the similarities to be able to return at the end the number of differences between them.

Having in mind i need the bigger number of differences to be returned also if a character is repeated in one of the 2 words it will be eliminated once because it exist only one time in other string.

I will give an example below to be more clear

--Start
declare @string1 as varchar(50)='imos'
declare @string2 as varchar(50)='nasos';
WITH n (n) AS (
SELECT 1 FROM (VALUES (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) n (n)

[Code] ....

The differences in first string from second one are 2 (i,m) while the differences in second string from first one are 3(nas).
So the function should return 3 in previous example.

SQL Server 2012 :: Replacing Recurring Characters In A String With Single Character

Jan 20, 2014

I have a problem where I want to write a function to remove recurring characters from a string and replace them with a single same character.

For instance I have the string '12333345566689' and the result should be '12345689'. In Oracle I could do this with "regexp_replace('12333345566689', '(.)1+', '1')", but in T-SQL the only solution I could think of is something like this:

DECLARE @code NVARCHAR(255)
SET @code = '12333345566689';
SET @code = REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(@Code, '1', '~1'), '1~', ''), '~1', '1');

and repeat this for 2 - 9. But I'm sure there is a more elegant version for this in SQL Server 2012.

Jun 3, 2015

I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'

Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN***

The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?

Unable To Read East Asian Characters

Jan 10, 2008



Hello

We seem to be having junk characters within our SQL server 2005 database for data related to East Asian countries. However, if we are to manually mess around within Excel we will be able to decipher these characters.

Following is a sample:

Îâê»
mr ºÃ²Ã‡¿
ms Íõá°
»§Ã“ê´º
Ö콨Ò»

Can you please let me know the best way of fixing this issue?

Unable To Retrieve Data When Using Greek Characters In Statement

Apr 26, 2007

Hi,I'm trying to do retrieve some data from a table where the content isin Greek, however, thequery is not working. It's a very simple statement, but I'm missingsomething.Here is the table...if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)drop table [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE]GOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[REPORT_LOCALE] ([XL_REPORT_ID] [int] NULL ,[TEXT_NAME] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNULL ,[LOCALE] [int] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOThe first statment shows me a number of rows. I copied the content ofthe Text_Name column and pasteit into QA to form the second statement. However, the second statementreturns no data.SELECT * FROM Report_LocaleSELECT * FROM Report_Locale WHERE Text_Name = 'Λογ.Διαχ. – ΤÏ?.-Î*Ï?ουπ.-Διαφ.'Hopefully the Greek characters will display properly within this post,but the idea is basically to take the Greek text and build that into aquery. I can do the remainder later once I understand why this doesnot work as I expect. I realise my expectation is based on doingthings in English so I need to understand the differences. We've donethis for various other languages using other character sets, which iswhy I am puzzled.Any pointers ?ThanksRyan

SQL 2012 :: Unable To Create New Table On Server

May 28, 2015

I used SQL Server 2012 Management Studio to create a new table on an 2014 SQL Server instance and got this message: 'This backend version is not supported to design database diagrams or tables'. Does this mean that I have to have SQL Server 2014 Management Studio to create a table on a SQL Server 2014 instance?
