Change Length Of Field

Dec 31, 2012

I have a database on sql2000. I want to change the length of a field in Table A, but it is related to another field in Table B. When I tried to change the length of the field in Table A via

ALTER TABLE table ALTER COLUMN field varchar(5).The query analyzer generates the following error.

Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
The object 'UQ__table__77BFCB91' is dependent on column 'field'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN field failed because one or more objects access this column.While when I tried the same query on the field in TABLE B, the query completed without any errors.

Change Field Length W/ Replication

Jun 15, 2001

I have to modify field length in the table, which is part of publication. I tried to use an Enterprise Mgr and received an error message because that table is scheduled for replication.
Is any way around this beside temporary stopping and restarting replication? And actually how to do this to be sure that after restart the data will be again in sync.
We have SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition and Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Get Column Length

Apr 9, 2008

Hi,

I am creating a piece of code to create audit tables based on my current tables. I'm using the info in sysobjects to get this done, but I have one problem.
I can't seem to find the actual lenght of a column, I tried with the systypes.length, but that was obviously not what I needed. Does someone know how (or where) I can retrieve the length that I need?

thx in advance.

Column Length Help

Sep 4, 2007

I have a table this is populated by a flat file. In the desc field from the flat file some of the data is very long up to 150 characters in length. I have to export this data after some transformations to a fixed width file. I need to check the length of the data in the desc field and any thing that is to long needs to be put in a desc2 field, however any values in desc that are shorter than 36 characters in length needs to have spaces padding it up to 36 characters as well as the desc2 field. Any help would be great. I am not the best T-SQL programmer in the world and have limited time to get this done.

Get Column Length From Sql Server

Jul 11, 2007

Hello Friends,
I am working on a web application and using Sql Server 2005 as a Databasew. I want to define a variable with the datatype as defined in the database. Let me give an example.
In my web say there is a field "First Name" and for that I had created a TextBox "txtFirstName" in code behind to get this value I have defined a variable
String getFirstName;
Now this variable has to be stored into the table "Person" into the column "FirstName" which is of type "nvarchar" and having length "20" So I want to get this length programatically so that I can assign this number (20) to the maxlength property of the textbox "txtFirstName" so that in future if the legth of the database column changes it should no be needed to change in code also.
Caqn it be done? If yes please let me know.
Thanks & RegardsGirish Nehte

Feb 27, 2004

I have some text in an NText column that could be quite long.

for the web page that displays it, i want to show the first 200 characters and then have a "more..." link to bring up the full text.

i'd like to create a stored procedure that takes the left 200 characters and copies them to a ShortText column (NVarChar) for initial display and then id like to set a bit column to indicate if the length of the NText column is greater than 200.

Len and Left cant be used against NText so how can i work with the NText data ??

Problem With WHERE Clause When Column Length &> 255

Mar 25, 2004

Hello, I am using the JDCB-ODBC driver for my app, but one of the columns in my WHERE clause is 255 characters long. Because of this no rows are returned even though the statement should return 1 or 2 rows. I've tried other JDBC-ODBC drivers too and they have the same problem. Additionally, I've tried using RTrim(), Substring(), etc and it still will not work....any ideas? Is it a driver bug? Anyone know of a driver that will work?

Sample code....

ResultSet rs = dbRetrieve.getStatement().executeQuery( sql ) ;
if (rs.next()) {
// Never gets here
}

Thanx!

DataReader Output Column Length

Jan 19, 2007

Hello,

I have an ODBC connection manager to a Progress database. In that database there is a column declared as a string of 10 characters long.
However, some data in this column is actually up to 15 characters long.
This makes my DataReader Source fail everytime I try to run my package because it sets the output column like this :

Datatype : Unicode string [DT_WSTR]
Length : 10

Is there any way to solve this without changing the datatype in the Progress database (that is beyond my control) ?

tanks in advance ...

Transact SQL :: Length Of Column Values Mismatch

Jun 4, 2015

I have one column called ORGNAME NVarchar(34). There are two records which has the same value stored in that column"Mobile Payment Finland", in both records there are no spaces at start or end position, which mean both records are exactly same. But when i run

SELECT LEN(ORGNAME ) from table

it gives, 34 for first record and 22 for the second record. I couldnt understand what could be the exact problem.

If i use SELECT DATALENGTH(ORGNAME ) from table
then i get 68 and 44

How To Access Output Column Length Within Script Component?

Mar 7, 2007

My script component defines a (DT_WSTR, 450) output column named keyword. How can I access its length within the script, instead of hard-coding 450 as a constant?

My feeble attempts to tease this out through Visual Studio got me this far:

Output0Buffer.keyword.GetType.GetProperty("Length").GetValue(

but now I'm stuck. Also, if it matters, this is an asynchronous transformation component.

Thanks!

Reading A Text File With Fixed Length Column

May 11, 2008

Hi,

I would like to read from a Text File using SSIS Integration Package.

The file has a fixed number of columns, let's say 3 columns.
There is no row header and each columns length is fixed. There is no delimiter as well.



Here is the sample of the file contents:
John Doe USA
Mary Monroe UK
Andy Archibald Singapore



Here is the hints to read the file contents
123456789
0123456789
0123456789
==============================
John Doe USA
Mary Monroe UK
Andy Archibald Singapore

If you notice, from the 1st column until the 9th column, it's reserved for the first name.
The 10-th column until the 19th column, it's reserved for the last name. Finally the 20-th column until the 29th column is reserved for the Origin Country.

Since there's no delimiter inside the flat file contents, i have difficulty in parsing this text using SSIS Package.

Please let me know if you need any necessary information.

Thanks for all your help.

Regards,

Hadi Teo.
