hi everyone,
I'm looking for statement how to select if length digit = 12. as an example,
data
---------------
123456789012
4567892100
I just want to select if the length of data = 12 digit then the answer is 123456789012
Your kindness really appreciated, I really need the answer as quickly
There is column mobile_number in my table
I have to replace with star(*) to the middle six character from contact number of 10 digit.
For example
The Contact number is 9334459875
I have to display it as follows
93******75 first two digit and last two only.
How can I return a 2 digit month into a variable for the months Jan thru September
SELECT DATEPART(mm, GETDATE()) ---> returns 9 for September.. I need 09 returned in order to properly build my target file name...
Thx,
BT
For those of you who would like to reference my exact issue, I'm dealing with the RSExecution SSIS package at the "Update Parameters" data flow task, at the Script Component.
The script tries to split parameter data into name and value. Unfortunately, I have several reports that are passing parameters that are very large. One example has over 65,000 characters all in the normal "¶mname=value&parm2=value..." format.
The code in the script works fine until it gets to one of these very large parameter sets. I have figured out what is causing the issue. Here's some code:
Dim paramBlob as Byte()
paramBlob = Row.BlobColumn.GetBlobData(0, Row.BlobColumn.Length)
The second parameter of the .GetBlobData function takes an INTEGER as its count! Therefore, no matter what kind of datatype I pass to the string that the script will later split, it will be limited to 32767 characters.
THIS IS A PROBLEM!!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue? I need all of the parameter data to be reported, and I would hate to have to skip over rows like this. Also, if I'm missing something, please fill me in!
Thanks for your help in advance,

Hi
I have two below datacolumns
'code'- varchar 255 (Unique number) data : chr456Umx
'Packs'- integer data : 6
Is it posible to generate 13 digit number using the above two columns,
The reason is if I run the procedure I will get same 13 digit all the time depending on the above two colums
below is the sample procedure I am using
CREATE PROCEDURE AMZSelCen
@imglink nvarchar(255)
AS
Select code as sku,
PdtBarCode as [standard-product-id],
'EAN' as [product-id-type],
--generate 13 digit number
make+' '+model+' ' +', Price for '+cast(NumPacks as varchar(8)) +' '+'Packs' as title,
make as manufacturer,'
from tablename
where ......
Advance thanks
I have run into something really annoying.
If I run the following SQL into SQL Server via SSMS it will load "31-DEC-49" as 2049-12-31.
INSERT
INTO Stg_StockProductCostPrice
VALUES (0,9999,0.99,'15-NOV-75','31-DEC-49')
But if I have the same data in a file and load it via SSIS it is loading into the database as 1949-12-31, instead of 2049-12-31.
I know there is a property called "Two Digit Year Cutoff" against the server. It is defaulted to 2049. Is there anything similar within SSIS?
Thanks

I'm sure it is possible to select all records where the length of a given field equals a certain value, but I don't know how to do it?
Can somebody tell me how?

I've done a moronic thing. I did a search and replace for special characters on my database. Unfortunately, I cast the data to VARCHAR(4000) before rewriting it. So now some of my rows have been truncated. I can restore those rows from an older version of the db, but I need to know which ones first.
I wish to select all rows that are truncated - it will be sufficient simply to select all rows wherein the field data is longer than ~3950 characters.
I've looked up and tried all sorts of LENGTH() syntaxes (syntices?) but nothing's worked.
Does there's any length limit on the XML returned by SELECT FOR XML AUTO?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have to export data from a database in a special form (the customer wants it this way): every record in one line, and all fields in a large string. Thus, only by convendion it is defined the first seven characters being the central number, the next fivr characters the number of this spare part type, the following 30 the description, and so on...
Just at the end of every record has to be CF-LF.
all works well so far by with this code (in PHP) -
except one thing - see details below the code snippet):
$q1 = "SELECT dirc_matdata.* FROM dirc_vorgang, dirc_matdata ";
$q2 = "WHERE dirc_vorgang.rep_out> '".$anf_dat."'";
$q3 = "AND dirc_vorgang.rep_out < '".$end_dat."'";
$q4 = "AND dirc_matdaten.auftrags_nr = dirc_vorgang.auftrags_nr";
$q5 = "INTO outfile '".$drive.":/matdata.dat'";
$q6 = "FIELDS TERMINATED BY '' LINES TERMINATED BY '
';";
$query = $q1.' '.$q2.' '.$q3.' '.$q4.' '.$q5.' '.$q6;
The INT (integer) fields appear in the (plain text) output file with wrong field lengths. Although I had set the first field (i.e. the number of this type ofparts) to a length of 5, this field appears in the outfile being 10 characters long -- the maximum length of a normal INT type field (and twice as long as it should be).
Or (when set to filed type "MEDIUMINT"), it appears in the length of 8 characters only. But I need this data exactly 5 characters long in this application.
BIG QUESTION: How can I make mySQL (Ver. 4.1) write this fields into the outfile with their correct length as defined in the database structure?
Is this flaw already known in the community?
Is there any sort of "workaround"?
Thank you for every hint!

I Have a table with #Sample like below
=================================
#Sample
id int,
SSN varchar(20),
State varchar(2)
Sample Data:
ID SSN STATE
1 999-000-000 AB
2 979-000-000 BC
3 995-000-000 CD
=================================
We used filter logic based on the SSN & State.
We are passing these values through variables like
Declare @State varchar(2)
Declare @SSN varchar(20)
While run time these values are lets suppose @SSN = '999-000-000' & @State='ABC'
Now the Result is displayed with the state data Like 'AB' only.
Output: 1 999-000-000 AB
instead it should give system generated error.
Here I have 2 Questions:
1. Why it is taking 1st 2 Charecters?
2. Why it does not have any system generated for length?
I can do validation with Length function for these 2 variables however if have 100 variables then it should not feasible case. So, what is the reason behind?
I am trying to import data from an excel Sheet to SQL Database using OPENROWSET. After import I found that all the cells containing data of more than 2000 length got truncated to 255 characters only. I tried finding the solution and found that We need to have the data with length more than 255 in first 8 rows of Excel sheet. It worked for me also. But In real scenario the data that I cant do the manual work on excel. I tried out with Dot Net utility and SSIS package also but the truncation is still the issue.
INSERT into tmp_Test
SELECT
*
FROM
OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Excel
12.0;Database=D:Book1.xlsx', [Sheet1$])
is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) )
AS
BEGIN
SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001
WHERE KeyName = @KeyName
END
KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?
Hi,
SQL Intrduction book on page 269 says that the max.amount of data contained in a single row is 8060 bytes. But I have no difficulty creating a table with two varchar 8000 columns. How can this be ? Can somebody explain how to interpret the statement about max.8060 bytes please?
Thanks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to narrow down this problem. Basically, I added 3 columns to my article table. It holds the article id, article text, author and so on. I tested my program before adding the additional field to the program. The program works fine and I can add an article, and edit the same article even though it skips over the 3 new fields in the database. It just puts nulls into those columns.So, now I have added one of the column names I added in the database to the code. I changed my businesslogic article.vb code and the addarticle.aspx, as well as the New article area in the addartivle.aspx.vb page. The form now has an additional textbox field for the ShortDesc which is a short description of the article. This is the problem now: The command parameters.length is 9 and there are 10 parameter values. Right in the middle of the 10 values is the #4 value which I inserted into the code. It says Nothing when I hover my mouse over the code after my program throws the exception in 17 below. Why is command parameters.length set to 9 instead of 10? Why isn't it reading the information for value 4 like all the other values and placing it's value there and calculating 10 instead of 9? Where are these set in the program? Sounds to me like they are hard coded in someplace and I need to change them to match everything else. 1 ' This method assigns an array of values to an array of SqlParameters.2 ' Parameters:3 ' -commandParameters - array of SqlParameters to be assigned values4 ' -array of objects holding the values to be assigned5 Private Overloads Shared Sub AssignParameterValues(ByVal commandParameters() As SqlParameter, ByVal parameterValues() As Object)6 7 Dim i As Integer8 Dim j As Integer9 10 If (commandParameters Is Nothing) AndAlso (parameterValues Is Nothing) Then11 ' Do nothing if we get no data12 Return13 End If14 15 ' We must have the same number of values as we pave parameters to put them in16 If commandParameters.Length <> parameterValues.Length Then17 Throw New ArgumentException("Parameter count does not match Parameter Value count.") 18 End If19 20 ' Value array21 j = commandParameters.Length - 122 For i = 0 To j23 ' If the current array value derives from IDbDataParameter, then assign its Value property24 If TypeOf parameterValues(i) Is IDbDataParameter Then25 Dim paramInstance As IDbDataParameter = CType(parameterValues(i), IDbDataParameter)26 If (paramInstance.Value Is Nothing) Then27 commandParameters(i).Value = DBNull.Value28 Else29 commandParameters(i).Value = paramInstance.Value30 End If31 ElseIf (parameterValues(i) Is Nothing) Then32 commandParameters(i).Value = DBNull.Value33 Else34 commandParameters(i).Value = parameterValues(i)35 End If36 Next37 End Sub ' AssignParameterValues38 39 40 41

Hello folks!
I have written a stored proc that selects data from this table:
A1 AA
A2 BB
B1 AAA
B2 BBB
and puts it another table in this manner:
A1 AA BB
A2 AA BB
B1 AAA BBB
B2 AAA BBB
In short, I wanted to concatenate data in the second column.
My question is for some reason, SQL Server is limiting the length of the string to only 256 characters, even though I have defined the local variables in the storeds proc as varchar(1000) and the table has that field defined as text.
Any ideas how I can get around this problem?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I ve few queries regarding SQLServer 2005, kindly help me to understand the things,
1. Datatypes like nvarchar, varchar, varbinary use 'max' to define their datalength,
a. is this 'max' always has the value of 2^31-1 ?
b. what other data types in sqlserver 2005 can use 'max' to define their datalength?
2. I defined a table (say 't') with a column 'name' of datatype nvarchar(max), now tried to execute the below query in the SQLServer client,
select column_name, data_type, character_maximum_length from information_schema.columns where table_name='t'
the result is,
+--------------+------------+--------------------------+
| column_name | data_type | character_maximum_length |
+--------------+------------+--------------------------+
| name | nvarchar | -1 |
+--------------+------------+--------------------------+
The question is why the datatype length is returned as -1, what happened to 'max'?
is there any other way to retrieve the actual data length (ie., 'max') from the table definition?

Hi,
I am trying to use DTC to import about 500 records from an Excelsheet to an SQL database.
Some fields contain strings with a length of about 1700 characters.
When i'm trying to execute the DTC generated code it is giving an error and saying that the maximum string length of 255 has been reached. Althoug the column in the database is defined as nchar(1750).
Does anybody know an answer to this problem ?
Thanks in advance,

i need to store quite along description in the database, which in anyother database i would choose the data type 'text', however, can someone tell me why the length is set to just 16 in sql server..... i have seen a text field with far greater than 16 chars, set at length 16, so what does this length of 16 mean?????
also what is the max length of the text field?
thanks
Folks:
I would like to know the total length of data type in a table. I ran the following query. Will this give me the correct information? I also ran sp_columns <table name> and it too give the length. But There is a difference in the numbers. Am I doing something wrong and which is the correct the query or sp_column.
select sum(length) from syscolumns
where id in (select id from sysobjects
where name = 'XYZABC')
sp_columns XYZABC
Thanks !
hello All,
I have a flat file which has a column (length of 24) . Whenever I have that column more the 24 char length, my package failed. I would like to know if there is any way if I can continue my package in this situation and send my bad row to the output table?
Any help will be appreciated.

I have a sp which works fine from my local database.
I move the procedure to a different database and modify it to access my data via linked server and I get the following:
provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Production" returned message "String data, length mismatch".
Msg 7421, Level 16, State 2, Line 27
Cannot fetch the rowset from OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "Production". .
Now I've seen references to this error message for ODBC, but as I said above, the same SP works fine if it goes against local data views. I am working with rather long concatenated strings using nvarchar(max) as the data type.
I've tried cast() on just about everything to no avail.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
Hi,
Is there a way in-code to determine the maximum length of a Integration Services Data Type.
I need to determine based on the data type what the maximum length of a column is IN-CODE.
However, the column.Length property only gives me a length for DT_WSTR and DT_STR values. This is the only property that would seem to remotely give me the right answer.
I need to know the maximum lengths in columns for DT_BOOL, DT_CY, DT_I2, DT_I4, DT_I8, DT_NUMERIC, and DT_UI1. I can always hard-code these values into my program, but that makes no sense. There has to be some sort of way to determine what the maximum possible length of these values are.
For numeric values I could use the column.Precision value but that still leaves with with a lot of data types without a maximum length.
