Chinese Chars Through Stored Procedures...
Jul 20, 2005
Hi,
I have a problem with my Stored Procedures...
Recently we decided to change the type of our column in our databse from
varchar to nvarchar because of new customers (chinese).
Everything works fine EXCEPT the stored procedures... When i try to pass
chinese characters for a simple SP that those a basic insert in my table, it
inserts ??? instead of chinese characters...
Did i miss something obvious?
Thanks a lot!
Etienne
p.s.: you can email me at Join Bytes! or reply on this

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());

Say I have a column called 'NAME' in a table called 'CLIENT' and the values in NAME are Surnames or company names like:
NAME
----------------------
1-FOR-ALL
A.B. SMITH (TOOLS LTD)
BROWN
THOMSON
VW CAR SALES
I want my select to return the first 3 characters, excluding special characters (only characters between 1 and z).
In example, the following would be returned for the data above:
NAME
----------------------
1FO
ABS
BRO
THO
VWC

Hi All
I have loaded some data to the application using flat files
which has non english chars.
all the columns in the database are NVARCHAR type.
but in db and in application UI, the non english chars are being diplayed as junk chars. ???121
The application supports UTF-8 format
is there any setting at db level to be modified to display the non english char set as is.
Thanks

Hi,
I am very new to using SSIS.
Trying to import data from MS Access 2000.
I receive the error "
[OLE DB Destination [1907]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "GENDER" with a length of 255 to database column "GENDER" with a length of 2. " on the source flow.
I have done some googling and came up with this post: http://torontosql.dotnetnuke-portal.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32233 which I thought may help, but it does not.
The query against the access datasource features the column: iif([sex]=1, 'm', 'f'). I tried using left(..., 2) as well, but SSIS is determind to treat the field as 255 characters for some reason.
I don't even particualrly care that the field is 255 chars and the sources is only two, I just want the data in! I have other fields coming up with similar error.
Can someone please advise?
PS, what is th significance of the "External Columns" Vs "Output Columns" on the Input and Output Properties tab in Advanced Editor?
I am really struggling with SSIS, it is not as intuitive as DTS.

My problem (excuse me for being a novice) is that whenever the query becomes complex
in the @whereclause (and it does) it cant exceed the character limit of a nvarchar. Now if someone could shed some ligfht on this for me I would be
incredibly grateful. I have tried doing the exec(@var1 + @var2) but this did not seem to work.
I have included the stored procedure below.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchTenderMultiRegions]
(
@whereclause nVarChar(MAX), --4000 chars
@PageIndex int,
@PageSize int
) AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;DECLARE @sql nvarChar(MAX)
SET @sql= 'SELECT * FROM (SELECT DISTINCT TOP (' + CONVERT(nvarchar(10),(@PageIndex*@PageSize))
SET @sql= @sql + ') ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Tenders.ID DESC)AS Row,
Tenders.ID,Tenders.Title,Address.Suburb,Tenders.ClosingDateTime,Tenders.IsApproved,Tenders.TendersSourceID, Tenders.SourceDate,
UserTracking.CreateUserID,UserTracking.CreateDateTime FROM Tenders LEFT JOIN TenderContact ON Tenders.ID = TenderContact.TendersID
LEFT JOIN TenderCategory ON Tenders.ID = TenderCategory.TendersID
LEFT JOIN TenderRegion ON Tenders.ID = TenderRegion.TendersID
LEFT JOIN RegionStateCountry ON TenderRegion.RegionStateCountryID = RegionStateCountry.ID
LEFT JOIN Address ON Tenders.ID = Address.TendersID
LEFT JOIN UserTracking ON Tenders.ID = UserTracking.TendersID
WHERE '
SET @sql= @sql + @whereclause
SET @sql = @sql + ') as TenderSearchEntries
WHERE Row between ('
SET @sql= @sql + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @PageIndex)
SET @sql= @sql + ' - 1) * '
SET @sql= @sql + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @PageSize)
SET @sql= @sql + '+ 1 and '
SET @sql= @sql + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @PageIndex)
SET @sql= @sql + ' * '
SET @sql= @sql + CONVERT(nvarchar(10), @PageSize)

Hi,
This Might be a really simple thing, however we have just installed SQL server 2005 on a new server, and are having difficulties with the set up of the Store Procedures. Every time we try to modify an existing stored procedure it attempts to save it as an SQL file, unlike in 2000 where it saved it as part of the database itself.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter

Using SQL 2005, SP2. All of a sudden, whenever I create any stored procedures in the master database, they get created as system stored procedures. Doesn't matter what I name them, and what they do.
For example, even this simple little guy:
CREATE PROCEDURE BOB
AS
PRINT 'BOB'
GO
Gets created as a system stored procedure.
Any ideas what would cause that and/or how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jason

Seems like I'm stealing all the threads here, : But I need to learn :) I have a StoredProcedure that needs to return values that other StoredProcedures return.Rather than have my DataAccess layer access the DB multiple times, I would like to call One stored Procedure, and have that stored procedure call the others to get the information I need. I think this way would be more efficient than accessing the DB multiple times. One of my SP is:SELECT I.ItemDetailID, I.ItemDetailStatusID, I.ItemDetailTypeID, I.Archived, I.Expired, I.ExpireDate, I.Deleted, S.Name AS 'StatusName', S.ItemDetailStatusID, S.InProgress as 'StatusInProgress', S.Color AS 'StatusColor',T.[Name] AS 'TypeName', T.Prefix, T.Name AS 'ItemDetailTypeName', T.ItemDetailTypeID FROM [Item].ItemDetails I INNER JOIN Item.ItemDetailStatus S ON I.ItemDetailStatusID = S.ItemDetailStatusID INNER JOIN [Item].ItemDetailTypes T ON I.ItemDetailTypeID = T.ItemDetailTypeID However, I already have StoredProcedures that return the exact same data from the ItemDetailStatus table and ItemDetailTypes table.Would it be better to do it above, and have more code to change when a new column/field is added, or more checks, or do something like:(This is not propper SQL) SELECT I.ItemDetailID, I.ItemDetailStatusID, I.ItemDetailTypeID, I.Archived, I.Expired, I.ExpireDate, I.Deleted, EXEC [Item].ItemDetailStatusInfo I.ItemDetailStatusID, EXEC [Item].ItemDetailTypeInfo I.ItemDetailTypeID FROM [Item].ItemDetails IOr something like that... Any thoughts?

Greetings:
I have MSSQL 2005. On earlier versions of MSSQL saving a stored procedure wasn't a confusing action. However, every time I try to save my completed stored procedure (parsed successfully ) I'm prompted to save it as a query on the hard drive.
How do I cause the 'Save' action to add the new stored procedure to my database's list of stored procedures?
Thanks!

We recently upgraded to SQL Server 2005. We had several stored procedures in the master database and, rather than completely rewriting a lot of code, we just recreated these stored procedures in the new master database.
For some reason, some of these stored procedures are getting stored as "System Stored Procedures" rather than just as "Stored Procedures". Queries to sys.Objects and sys.Procedures shows that these procs are being saved with the is_ms_shipped field set to 1, even though they obviously were not shipped with the product.
I can't update the sys.Objects or sys.Procedures views in 2005.
What effect will this flag (is_ms_shipped = 1) have on my stored procedures?
Can I move these out of "System Stored Procedures" and into "Stored Procedures"?
Thanks!

Hello
I'm start to work with SSIS.
We have a lot (many hundreds) of old (SQL Server2000) procedures on SQL 2005.
Most of the Stored Procedures ends with the following commands:
SET @SQLSTRING = 'SELECT * INTO ' + @OutputTableName + ' FROM #RESULTTABLE'
EXEC @RETVAL = sp_executeSQL @SQLSTRING
How can I use SSIS to move the complete #RESULTTABLE to Excel or to a Flat File? (e.g. as a *.csv -File)
I found a way but I think i'ts only a workaround:
1. Write the #Resulttable to DB (changed Prozedure)
2. create data flow task (ole DB Source - Data Conversion - Excel Destination)
Does anyone know a better way to transfer the #RESULTTABLE to Excel or Flat file?
Thanks for an early Answer

Do you know how to write stored procedures inside another stored procedure in MS SQL.
Create procedure spMyProc inputData varchar(50)
AS
----- some logical
procedure spMyProc inputInsideData varchar(10)

I am writing a set of store procedures (around 30), most of them require the same basic logic to get an ID, I was thinking to add this logic into an stored procedure.
The question is: Would calling an stored procedure from within an stored procedure affect performance? I mean, would it need to create a separate db connection? am I better off copying and pasting the logic into all the store procedures (in terms of performance)?
Thanks in advance
John

Hi all - I'm trying to optimized my stored procedures to be a bit easier to maintain, and am sure this is possible, not am very unclear on the syntax to doing this correctly. For example, I have a simple stored procedure that takes a string as a parameter, and returns its resolved index that corresponds to a record in my database. ie
exec dbo.DeriveStatusID 'Created'
returns an int value as 1
(performed by "SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName= 'Created')
but I also have a second stored procedure that needs to make reference to this procedure first, in order to resolve an id - ie:
exec dbo.AddProduct_Insert 'widget1'
which currently performs:SET @statusID = (SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName='Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID)
I want to simply the insert to perform (in one sproc):
SET @statusID = EXEC deriveStatusID ('Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID)
This works fine if I call this stored procedure in code first, then pass it to the second stored procedure, but NOT if it is reference in the second stored procedure directly (I end up with an empty value for @statusID in this example).
My actual "Insert" stored procedures are far more complicated, but I am working towards lightening the business logic in my application ( it shouldn't have to pre-vet the data prior to executing a valid insert).
Hopefully this makes some sense - it doesn't seem right to me that this is impossible, and am fairly sure I'm just missing some simple syntax - can anyone assist?

Hello,
I hope somebody can help me with this. I have different points to solve. However, I€™ll make some simple questions and then I€™ll decide to continue explaining.
In a pc having Windows 2003 Server and SQL 2005 in English lang installed, II can see into the fields of an Access db Chinese characters. I€™ve made a tool to transfer the information to a new SQL db, but when I go to see into table€™s fields, I only see €œ????€?. I€™ve tried to make the import directly from SQL Server, but the result was the same.
When I read the values from a VB6 app, the ones read from Access are correctly showed, but not the one read from SQL. In both cases I see only €œ?????€?.
But, using in another pc with regional settings changed to Chinese the same application, I can see all the Chinese labels. Shall I need to make the transfer with the Chinese lang downloaded into the pc? Shall I need to set the db in a particular way?
I have inside the db some tables having latin characters (European names) that I need to maintain, so there will be data in at least 2 languages: Chinese and English.
The second problem is regarding a text box control to insert numeric value. If I insert the numer 3.4456, once the value is added to the db, it returns 34456. Decimal point is ignored. This happens in machines having Windows in Chinese and Windows in English with reg. settings changed to Chinese.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
I need some help importing Chinese characters into my SQL Server 2005 database.
I have the data in an access database, which contains a mixture of english and chinese characters.
Now when I import this into SQL, the Chinese characters are not imported in correctly.
I'm aware of that these characters may need to be imported as unicode, but I don't have an option to change this when importing from the Access table.
Please can somebody assist.
many thanks!

Hi all!
I have created a report that may display Chinese, Korean and Japanese characters. Everything is fine on the report itself when rendered in the browser, all the characters are showing as it should be, but when I try to export it to pdf, all these characters turned into question marks ????.
I've tried installing Adobe Asian pack, but still I can't make these character shows up.
Can anyone shed light on this? I'm doing a local report only BTW. Would there be any effect if I'll do it as a server report?
Any thing that could get me started would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi experts,
Here I got some problems with my application. (ASP & English Version SQL Server 2000)
As we are using English MSSQL Server 2000, we got some new functions and we have to facilitate support of Chinese characters in the DB. I have set the collation for those Chinese fields already and those queries or Stored Procs for Chinese are working fine, ONLY if I execute them in Enterprise Manager. Chinese characters can be displayed in the relevant tables.
However here comes the big problem and I got really frustrated. As we will provide user interface in ASP pages, we 'll let users to insert the information which will be sent to the DB. If there's Chinese characters in the query string, the Chinese characters added in the DB would be garbled.
e.g. EXECUTE proc_TestChinese 'XYZ', 'test123' (assume XYZ be those Chinese words)
I am wondering if there's any way I can solve this problem. Should I add special handling for these Chinese words? I have set the ASP pages in UTF-8 or Big5 encoding but it doesn't help. Hope you experts can show me the way out of the mess. Thanks in advance!
