Retrieving The Error Description In SQL SERVER 2000
Feb 25, 2008Hello All,
I am stuck at a place in SQL SERVER 2000.
I have created stored procedures and I am checking whether any error has occured on execution of the statements in that procedure.
If the @@Error <>0 then I need to log this error into my error logging table.
For this, I need to retrieve the error description given by SQL SERVER 2000.
I tried this using the master.dbo.sysmessages table. But I get a text from master.dbo.sysmessages which has the placeholders like %l, %s, etc.
I dont want this type of error. I want the exact error description which has the actual objects names and not the placeholders.
I found some help at this link : http://www.sommarskog.se/error-handling-I.html#textretrieve
But i want to know whether there is any other way of doing this or not.
Thanks,
Kapadia Shalin P.

Description Column In SP
Dec 17, 2013I am having trouble bringing "description" column in to my sp and them at the out put. in the ppatient_status_mstr there is a column called“description” which has patient status such as “discharged” “termed collection” etc... How do I use the SP to bring this description into application? I am assigning it to @mytext. I am not sure how to declare “description” in the SP? Every time I use it I get errors like:
Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 20
The multi-part identifier "pm.alerts_ind" could not be bound.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 40
Invalid column name 'description'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure CheckStatus, Line 43
Invalid column name 'description'.
I want to say if user picks a description from application . show me that description in output. But I am having trouble how to use the description? I am not sure if my “IF” statements are correct either?
Here is the procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CheckStatus] (@enc_id varchar(36) OUTPUT, @Mytext varchar(50) OUTPUT, @data_ind Char(1) OUTPUT)
AS

DECLARE
@alerts_ind char(1)

Aug 3, 2006I am migrating between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 but hit a snag when attempting to write a query to display the column's description.
I used this code with SQL Server 2000 to get the "Description" data.
select o.name 'table' , c.name 'column' , p.value as 'description' , t.name 'datatype' , c.isnullable 'nullable?' , c.length, m.text 'default_text' from sysobjects o

How can I reproduce this with SQL Server 2005? I tried using the following which gives me a lot of the same data but not "Description":

Problems With Text Column In SQL SERVER 2000
Aug 4, 2005Hi,I am trying to access the data inside a text column in the database and display it on a page.The problem is, I cannot see the full data when I execute the stored procedure in SQL Server and also on the asp.net page.it seems Sql server clips the data if it is more than 3000 characters. Is there anyway I can see the whole data that is stored in that particular column.I do not understand why asp.net is also clipping the data. What container can I use to display the text? I have tried Literal, string, placeholder but nothing shows the full text that is supposed to be in the database.I have seen some people using byte arrays but I am not sure how I can use them to display data on a page. If anyone has done this before or had a similar problem please reply back.Thanks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan't Save Package To Server (No Description Found) ERROR - Again
Dec 31, 2005Hello, I need some help with installing release copies of SQL05(+SSIS) and VS05 on Win03R2. It is very frustrating when a basic install fails. Ive been going round and round with this. M$ support has not been of help yet.
I have a new development box for SQL05/VS05 development, and when I do a clean install of release software from MSDN: Windows Server 2003 R2 ent; SQL Server 2005 dev; Visual Studio 2005 pro I find that the "save to server" in SSIS (and other utilities that save a package) fails with a non-informative message *No Description Found* (see error text below).
To setup this box I install Win03R2 first, promote it to a Active Directory DC (the one and only DC in a test forest), then install VS05 onto the E: drive. Note, I must install VS05 first (before SQL05) so that all components get installed to the RAID5 *E:* drive. If SQL05 is installed first then VS that comes with SQL gets installed on to C: (no way I see to get around this) then the full VS05 pro gets forced to install on the C: drive.
Then I install SQL05 (with everything including SSIS). At this point every thing works fine, packages can be saved ok.
If I then install VS05 again so that all settings of VS05 are as expected of a standard VS05 install (not the SQL version) then the problem with saving packages arises.
If the error message was a little more informative, I might be able to track down the source of the problem. Please help! I have tried a bunch of things - creating credentials, proxies, using the most privileged accounts possible, etc.
Thanks, MikeC

Querying A TEXT Datatype Column In SQL Server 2000
Jan 17, 2008HI,
I'm trying to implement a site search. The only problem is that some of the pages have more than 8000 characters (like the press release pages) so I had to use the TEXT datatype (sql server 2000). I wrote a simple stored procedure to query the column, however it does not return any results. I'm assuming this is due to the fact that it is the TEXT datatype. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. Code below:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_SiteSearch
@keyword text
AS
SELECT PageText
FROM tbl_Pages
WHERE PageText LIKE '%@keyword%'
GO
