This is driving me bananas. Can't find any info on this anywhere....
SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I set
a varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Why
on earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE
2 SPACES!!!!
Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to using
varchar?
Any help appreciated.

I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with €œ €?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.
How do we suppress multiple spaces to a single space in T-SQL
E.G.
Field: FullName
e.g.
WOMENS HEALTH RIVER VALLEY
JOHN FAMILY MED GROUP
HERSH STWEART P.
PARK HEIGHTS MEDICAL CENTER
KOPP WHITEFIELD E
The o/p wanted is
HERSH STWEART P.
Thank you.
we have a value in a column with double space between characters like" abcd  efgh", when I do the preview of the report I see the value as it is with double space; but when I deploy the report on to the reporting server, I just see only single space between the characters. whys is it eliminating one space when it is deployed on the reporting server? how can I get the same value with 2 spaces?

Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?
How do I change a tab (char(9)), newline char (char(10) ) or carriage return (char(13)) in my string into a single space character? This is when I select from a table, the value should have any linefeed or tab converted to space.
Thanks in advance..
Hello,
Somebody know how to reduce the space allocated for the transaction log space for my SQL_DB ?
3700 MB allocated but only 100 MB used and 3600 MB are free !
Transaction log properties :
Automatically grow file are filled
file growth by percent = 5%
maximum file size - restrict filegrowth = 3700 MB (we can't reduce it !)
Thank you for your precious help !

I have records where there are multiple spaces between items of text. I would like to strip out all the excess spaces characters. To that end I have written to separate functions (both are listed below) neither of which I would imagine will be particularly efficient. The first uses an int table and the second a while loop. I am presently ignoring the leading and trailing space issue as this can easily be recitfied with LTRIM and RTRIM. However, I would be keen to know if there is a better way of achieving a similar result.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.StripAdditionalSpaces (@Input varchar(1000))
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Changed int, @Output varchar(1000)
SELECT @Output = ''
DECLARE @String TABLE ([Output] varchar(1000))
INSERT INTO @String ([Output]) VALUES (@Input)
SELECT @Output = @Output + SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position, 1)
FROM @String
LEFT JOIN dbo.Ints i1
ON SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position, 1) <> ' '
or ISNULL(SUBSTRING([Output], i1.Position - 1, 1), '') <> ' '
RETURN @Output
END
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.StripAdditionalSpaces2 (@Input varchar(1000))
RETURNS varchar(1000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Output varchar(1000)
SELECT @Output = @Input
WHILE @Output LIKE '% %'
BEGIN
SELECT @Output = REPLACE(@Output, ' ' , ' ')
END
RETURN @Output
END

That is only part of a large query that writs a SQL Query to a column in a Database. That Query (in the column) is just ran normally so I don't need to compile it each time I want to run it.
THe problem I have is @FieldName might be: ryan's field.
That apostrophe is killing me because the SQL keeps it as ryan's field, not ryan''s field(note the 2 apostrophes). I cannot do: REPLACE(@FieldName, ''', '''') because it's not closing the apostrophes. Is there an escape character that I can use to say only one: ' ?
I tried:
DECLARE @t VARCHAR(500)
SET @t = (SELECT [Name] FROM [Form].[Fields] WHERE FieldID = 1)
print @t -- @t will print: Ryan's Field
PRINT QUOTENAME('' + @t + '', '''')
but that gives me: 'Ryan''s Field'
Any help would rock. If I make any changes to the way this field is input into the DataBase, I know I will need to do a lot of re-work in many spots. WHich is why i'm trying to solve this on the SQL side.

Hi: Got a newbie question that's been giving me fits! Basically I'm replicating what's going on here on this board...creating a "posting" interface that takes the "message" and inserts it into a table using an ADODB connection (using INSERT INTO table name,tablecells and VALUES)
However, if someone types in a single or double quote in the body of the message, I get an error similar to this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 's'.
/test.asp, line 29
I think I understand why it's happening (SQL is interpreting the quote mark as a string-end), but what am I supposed to do to get around it?
I've got a flat file data source, that is to large to edit with most Windows apps on my server that contains both single and double quote characters that I need to load in a varchar column.
So I attempted to do it with a Replace in data transformation, but I can't get SSIS to allow me to use a variable or pair of single or double quotes within the replace.
If I don't replace the single quote characters with a pair then the records containing these characters all end up in my failed records output file.
Here are 5 example property legal descriptions from my FLAT FILE data source:

View 10 Replies View RelatedI need to create a proc. which would send a warning via xp_sendmail when the database space gets within 10% of allocated space.

I have a 12 GB database growing at 25 MB daily. The server will soon run out of space, 3 GB left. I cannot buy a new server or new RAID subsystems at once, and want to prevent the server being filled up fast.
What are the best ways? Can you share with me some of your thougts or comment on the following:
1) Archive old data in many tables across servers -
Can SQL Server do it directly across server or we need to select into temp database and back it up to tape or using bcp out and in?
2) Put the >9Gb disk dump to another server. The daily disk dump takes up a lot of space.
3) Dump to the tape directly, saving 9 GB disk space of dump device.
4) ? ?

Thanks All,
Hope this question is not too dumb for this forum.. but here goes.
I have a DB on SQL Server 2K which is the backend for our Great Plains System.
When I look at the properties of the Database from Enterprise Manager, It shows Size: 1370.57mb and space available: 0.00 The ZERO space available is what I'm concerned about. The DB is in FULL recovery mode with a nighly Full backup and transaction log backups throught the day. The DB is set to autogrow and the file growth is set at 20 percent.
My question is.. should I be worried about the ZERO space available and if so, how do I correct this??

is there a way of taking up to the first space in a string
View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay, so i've been working in foxpro for a while, but now we're moving on to bigger stronger faster. my question is, in foxpro, i used to be able to fix some name formatting issues with two commands:
replace all fname with subs(name,1,at(' ',name))
replace all lname with subs(name,(at(' ',name)+1),(30-at(' ',name)))
this basically locates the space in the name on each record, and replaces the first name with 0-space and the last with space-end of field
little cude, but it gets the job done. so basically i'm looking for the same solution but for t-sql, i tried something like:
update t1
set name=substring(name,1,at(' ',name))
from temp t1
with no luck, AT() is not an expression in sql, so what is out there that's like it?
I've a weird problem in my application. In of the pages, while trying to update the text box "Name", when I enter Linda's test, it gets saved as Linda''s test. I'm not sure if this is a problem due to SQL server. When I look at the stored procedure, I don't anything different. Also, when I update the table directly in SQL Server, the result is displayed in single quote. But if I update the field thro' the application, the returned name is with double quotes instead of single quote. Has any of you faced problems like this? What am I missing? What do I need to do to get the name saved the way I entered (with single quotes) instead of double quotes?

Hi, how does one normally insert a space in a statement like this: INSERT INTO table (column0, column1, column2)
VALUES (getdate(), 'blah', CONVERT(VARCHAR(19), GETDATE(), 120) + 'blahblah')In column2 the output looks like ' 2007-10-08 20:19:08blahblah', but I want it to be like '2007-10-08 20:19:08 blahblah' (two spaces between date and text).Thanks,Chris
