A sql server 2000 table contains a ntext field that needs to be updated. The update is replacing a particular string in the ntext field. I heard it's hard to do it in sql server 2000 itself. Can it be done easily in an SSIS? Please kindly provide example. Thanks.
i define a clumn like this: clumn name: Body data type: ntext then i run a store procedure which is defined as : create insert_artcle as ( @body ntext ) insert into article{body} values{@body} but the data get into the database is truncated to 8 charactors what is the problem? Is it has something to do with the ntext size 16?
I need to find a way to update a notes field that is ntext in a table with an update statement. The code will run as a SQL job. I though something like the following, but doesn't like it: update dbo.myTable set notes = notes + ' addtional notes to append' Any ideas? thanks...
Loading thousands of records to the DB through bulk insert. There's one field NText which I have left NULL because it will be hard to gen dummy flat file to it.
I have another table which has the Ntext Value which i will want to copy and duplicate to the other table.
what is the way to do it?
simply said i want to update a record with NULL value from one table with NText field with the value from another table..
I'm working in Visual Basic 6 using SQL Server 6.5 connecting through a DSN (using ODBC)
I have a query "object.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM table", dbOpenDynamic, 0, dbOptimistic" returning a recordset. I loop through the recordset, edit a char field for each record and update it.
The first update works fine but the second update (and then on) fails returning an error message ODBC call failed and I also get an error S1106.
I ran the code in debugger mode and noticed that as soon as it updates the first record, the pointer seems to move to the next record before even doing the "MoveNext" (based on the field contents), but the AbsolutePosition remains fixed until MoveNext is executed. At that point, if I do a "MovePrevious", the record is not there anymore and has totally disappeared from the recordset. What is happening and how do I get around that????

I've got a table that I have to update in preparation for our environment move (2k to 2005 SP2). The developers that designed the application created a table called schemas, which holds the contents of an XML file inside of an ntext field named Data.I need to parse through the field and do a find/replace to replace all instances of www.site.com with www7.site.com. It's all over the place in the file. The problem is, that the datalength() of each of the fields (there are 2 rows) are above 15000.normally, I'd run something like this:update schemas set data=replace (cast(Data as varchar(max)),'www.site.com','www7.site.com') where data like '%www.site.com%'Smaller columns it works great - but it won't work on these because they're too big (the update will chop anything beyond the varchar(max) value). I could do it manually, but this DB will be refreshed from production on a weekly basis and I'd like to script as many of the environment changes to the DB as much as possible. Any ideas?
SQL Server 2000 : I have a series of tables which all have the samestructure. When any of these tables are modified I need to syncrhoniseall of those modifications with one other table wich is a sort of mergeof the individual tables with one extra column.For most of these tables this is not a problem. The problem arriveswhen one of the tables has an ntext column which obviously can not beused in an update or insert trigger.Here's an example of one of them:CREATE TABLE tblImages(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,Inventory nvarchar(8) NOT NULL,Coll nvarchar(8) NOT NULL,ImageFile nvarchar(128) NOT NULL,ImageNotes ntext NULL,TS timestamp NULLCONSTRAINT U_Images UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED (ItemCode, Inventory, Coll,ImageFile)I then had created an update trigger which looked like this:CREATE TRIGGER COLLNAME_UTRIGGER ON COLLNAME_ImagesFOR UPDATEASBEGINUPDATE tblImages SETInventory = inserted.Inventory,Coll = 'COLLNAME',ImageFile = inserted.ImageFileName,FROM inserted INNER JOIN tblImages ON inserted.ItemCode =tblImages.ItemCode ANDinserted.Invventory = tblImages.Invventory AND tblImages.Coll ='COLLNAME' ANDinserted.ImageFileName = tblImages.ImageFileUPDATE tblImagesSET ImageNotes=inserted.NotesFROM inserted INNER JOIN tblImages ON inserted.ItemCode =tblImages.ItemCode ANDinserted.Inventory= tblImages.Inventory AND tblImages.Coll ='COLLNAME' ANDinserted.ImageFileName = tblImages.ImageFileEND " & vbCrLf)The first update in my trigger, be it an update or insert trigger,works fine. It crashes with the "Cannot use text, ntext or imagecolumns in the 'inserted' or 'deleted' tables." error in the secondpart.I have read various messages through the Internet on this and severalof them reference using INSTEAD OF triggers and views. I have neverused those before as this is my first work with SQL 2000. None of theexamples of INSTEAD OF triggers I have seen yet use the actual insertedtables and I haven't quite understood how to use them correctly.Can someone help me with the basic syntax as this trigger is one ofseveral that I am going to have to get working.Thank you in advance for any help, assistance, suggestions or"direction pointing" you may provide.
Hi, I've been reading all sorts of info on the ntext field. I needthis to store xml documents in sql server via a stored proc.Because of its size, I apparently can not use SET (as in UPDATE)therefore I'm trying to do an INSERT of the row with this field (afterdeleting the old row).CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateXmlWF(@varWO varchar(50)@strWF ntext@varCust varchar(50)@varAssy varchar(50))ASINSERT INTO tblWorkOrders (WorkOrder, Customer, Assy, xmlWF) VALUES(@varWO, @varCust, @varAssy, @strWF)I'm using MSDE so I can't tell what's wrong...it just won't save theproc.PLEASE HELP!Thanks, Kathy
Hi, I've read conflicting articles on updating an ntext field in acolumn.My ntext field will exceed 8,000 characters (typically twice that size-- but just a text string).One article (I think from MicroSoft) said you could NOT use ntext inan UPDATE statement, but I've seen examples from other people usingit...but don't know if it's related to the size/characters issue.Is this true or not?Thanks very much...Kathy
Hi everyone, this is is my first post, so please reply and help. I'm working on a project right now that uses asp 2.0 and SQL server 2005 express edition. This is a general idea of the project. In our company some of us receive ECO notifications (engineering change orders) for our products and we need to implement these to the test scripts that are on the production floor. So the project is about entering the new ECO into a database which will send an automatic notification to our test team. When they receive the notification they will have to sign in to the website and introduce their login and password to sign off the ECO (Following some checkpoints already defined by me, for example, Area ready, Test script modification necessary, new firmware introduction, comments, etc...) but I also need to record WHO and WHEN sign that ECO. We have 3 different test areas in our factory: Electrical, Functional and Systems, so all THREE areas must be signed off in order to the ECO go to a IMPLEMENTED state (at this point i need to send a new email saying that the eco has been implemented in all three areas). So far I've completed the following things: -users validation (logins, areas) -New custom entry form for the ECOs and automatic email notification (part of what I did is described below). Dim ECODataSource As New SqlDataSource()ECODataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ECO_ICSConnectionString1").ToString()
ECODataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure ECODataSource.InsertCommand = "EcoNew" ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoNumber", EcoNumberTextBox.Text) ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoDescription", EcoDescriptionTextBox.Text) ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoMandatory", EcoMandatoryDropDownList.Text) -Depending on which test area is the the engineering from, I can filter the ECOs and just shows the ones that their test area is pending. (using GridView) But I'm stuck right now when the engineers have to sign the ECO for their test areas. I was able to use the Gridview and DetailsView to EDIT most of the things that I need. But there are somethings that I don't like: 1. When using the EDIT option on Gridview or Detailsview, all fields can be edited including ECO number, description and mandatory, which I don't want them to change. If I set those columns to read only, when editing that row again. It gives me an error that says that the ECOnumber can't be NULL, but if I remove these 3 columns the Engineer will not know which ECO they have sign. They are only going to be able to see the EcoId, which doesn't say much. 2. Also I saw that I wasn't able to do is to enter the USER login and CURRENT system date and time automatically. I don't want them to manually enter the date and their login manually. 3. Finally, when the last area signs the ECO, I want to update that record and set a flag that tells me that the ECO has been completed. So what I really want is to create some sort of form (textboxes, labels, checkboxes, etc.) that will UPDATE the selected ECO from the gridview for instance. So when I select the row from the GridView, It will show the data (Econumber, description and mandatory as READ ONLY) and use the rest of the things as INPUT for the engineer to complete. At the end an "update button" and when I click it, It will enter/update the data on that specific row, but including the time and user login as well. Also to check if the other 2 areas have signed and if so, change the ECOReadiness flag to 1 and send the email. Is there a code like the one I used above to do this ? Or if you think there a better way to do this, I'll be very glad to hear it. I'm new using sql and asp, so If i'm asking some dumb questions please forgive me. .
Here's my table definition for your reference: EcoId - primary key. EcoNumber EcoDescription EcoMandatory EcoReadiness <- Flag for the entire ECO, when ALL 3 areas have signed, this will be 1. ATE < - Flag for Electrical area. ATEscripts < - Just a Yes/no input. ATEengineer <- user login ATEdatetimestamp <- Date.Now() FAT < - Flag for functional. FATscripts FATengineer FATdatetimestamp SYSTEMS < - Flag for systems. SYSTEMSscripts SYSTEMSengineer SYSTEMSdatetimestamp
I am currently working on a website that deals with sales of products. For one of my pages for the website I need it to be able to change the current sales information for a specific product.
The top part of the following code selects the specific product however I cannot get the update query to work.
Code: $describeQuery = "SELECT p.ID, p.NAME, dt.[Year], dt.[Month], dt.SalesVolume FROM Products p join (select ProductCode, sum(SalesVolume) as SalesVolume, [Year], [Month] from MonthlySales group by ProductCode, [Year], [Month])dt on dt.ProductCode = p.ID WHERE [NAME] = '$desiredProduct' AND [Year] = '$desiredYear' AND [Month] = '$desiredMonth'";
$editQuery = "UPDATE MonthlySales SET SalesVolume = '$NewSales' WHERE ID = '$desiredProduct' AND Year = '$desiredYear' AND Month = '$desiredMonth'";
I am running this query to an sql server 2000 database from my aspcode:"select * from MyTable whereMySqlServerRemoveStressFunction(MyNtextColumn) = '" &MyAdoRemoveStressFunction(MyString) & "'"The problem is that the replace function doesn't work with the ntextdatatype (so as to replace the stresses with an empty string). I hadto implement the MySqlServerRemoveStressFunction, i.e. a function thattakes a column name as a parameter and returns the text contained inthis column having replaced some letters of the text (the letters withstress). Unfortunately, I could not do that because user-definedfunctions cannot return a value of ntext.So I have the following idea:"select * from MyTable whereCheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStesses(MyNtextColum n, '" & MyString &"')"How can I implement the CheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStessesfunction? (I don't know how to combine these functions to do what Iwant: TEXTPTR, UPDATETEXT, WRITETEXT, READTEXT)
In one of my tables, the data type is ntext and if it contains a null value, I get the following error:String[6]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0I'm using vb.net 2005 and sql server 2000.Here's a code snippet of my code behind: Dim pDescription As SqlParameter = Command.Parameters.Add("@description", SqlDbType.NText) pDescription.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output And my stored procedure: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.retrieveEquipmentDetails
FROM tblEquipments a, tblManufacturers b, tblLocation c, tblStatus d, tblEquipment_Type e, tblLabs f
WHERE a.ID = @id AND a.manufacturer = b.manufacturerID AND a.location = c.locationID AND a.Status = d.statusID AND a.EquipmentType = e.ID AND f.ID = a.calLab
FOR READ ONLY
OPEN c_equipment
FETCH NEXT FROM c_equipment INTO @assignedID, @manufacturer, @modelNumber, @serialNumber, @equipmentType, @description, @location, @status, @modifiedDate, @modifiedBy, @notes, @calibrationLabId, @calibrationRequired, @calibrationDate, @calibrationDueDate, @assetNumber--, @picture
IF( @@FETCH_STATUS <> 0 ) BEGIN SET @errMessage = 'Equipment not found.' GOTO HANDLE_APPERR END CLOSE c_equipment DEALLOCATE c_equipment
SET @errCode = 0 RETURN @errCode
HANDLE_APPERR: IF( CURSOR_STATUS( 'local', 'c_equipment' ) >= 0 ) BEGIN CLOSE c_equipment DEALLOCATE c_equipment
END SET @errCode = 1 RETURN HANDLE_DBERR: SET @errCode = -1 RETURN END GO
So, if anyone has any suggestions, I would like to hear them.And btw, it also happens to the image field (@picture) but I commented it out to try to get the rest working until I'm ready to tackle that one.Thanks,Zath
I have the stored procedure snipet below that will work for returning a dataset that I need. But, if I change NVARCHAR to NTEXT as the field response is, I get the error: The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid for local variables. CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.mySP@errCode INT OUTPUT ASBEGIN DECLARE @guid uniqueidentifier DECLARE @response NVARCHAR SELECT @guid = guid, @response = response FROM myTable SELECT guid, response FROM myTable Like is said, seems to work ok for now, but what if the info in the field is bigger than 4000 length as the max nvarchar can handle? Thanks, Zath

I've got a package that was imported from SQL 2000 into SQL 2005. I'm trying to edit it in Business Int. Dev Studio. When I open what used to be a data pump step in 2000, I'm able to edit items. However, when I click OK, it puts an error right below the buttons:
"" is not a value type
And it won't let me save my changes. I have no idea where this error is coming from. All the data pumps in this package cause the same error. Your help is appreciated.

I have exported a report to excel that contains an ntext column. The exported excel file shows "#Error" for the ntext column in some of the rows. If I see the same report in reporting services I don't see any problem. I have checked that this is not any issue with the length of the text. Could you suggest me something on this?

Hello experts. I have been searching for anything about this but found very little. What are the events logged in SQL Server Error Logs aside from Successful/Failed Login, Backup/Restore/Recover database and, start/init sql server? Can we configure this to log other events, like CREATE or DBCC events for example? If so, how? Thanks a lot.
hi all, I am new to sql server. I need some help regarding ntext value.I am using an insert stored proc to insert the value into ntext field, till now i have been using a varchar variable to pass the value. but i think this doesn't work when the size exceeds the limit of varchar and also what if i want to perform group insert? and the major issue i am concerned about is, i don't want to update this field quite often.I need to check whether the existing ntext value and the new value which i want to insert are different.I want to do it in a better way than processing both values entirely.I want to make sure that the update statement is executed only when both values differ.
HI all, I Need some help over ntext datatype.one of my table columns is of ntext datatype. how to insert or update this thru storedprocs. any special notes regarding ntext column.
