Keeping Text Format After Stored In The Data Base.
Jan 14, 2004
I want the users of my site to be able to write a couple of paragraphs, save it to SQL Server and then have it read back and look the same. I don't want the users to be able to add any html to the text they submit. I just want them to be able to seperate or indent their paragraphs.
At one point, I had a textbox that saved text to the server and read it back the same way it was originally inputed. However, I can't figure our what I had done to make it work.
Hello!! searching information about how to migrate some date from an old data base (any tipe) from SQL Iv found this: LOAD DATA [LOW_PRIORITY | CONCURRENT] [LOCAL] INFILE 'file_name.txt' [REPLACE | IGNORE] INTO TABLE tbl_name [FIELDS [TERMINATED BY 'string'] [[OPTIONALLY] ENCLOSED BY 'char'] [ESCAPED BY 'char' ] ] [LINES [STARTING BY 'string'] [TERMINATED BY 'string'] ] [IGNORE number LINES] [(col_name_or_user_var,...)] [SET col_name = expr,...)] Does anybody know how does it works and how to use it????Id like to know because I have to load data from a text file to a SQL Data Base and this seems to be te fastest an easiest way to do it...Thanks!!!!bye!

Hi,I noticed that some of my Stored Procedure is not working well on the production server cause it seems that it has not the same DateTime format...(amongst other things ).Example of differences between DateTime format :-----------------------------------------------------------------------My station (SQL Express 2005) : 26/06/2007 3:17:20 PMProduction server (SQL 2005 Enteprise) : 2007-06-26 15:17:20How can i make the format of the database unchangeable so it keep the same format on the production server?I use SQL Express 2005 for coding and SQL 2005 Enteprise for production.Thanks
I am trying to place text boxes in the header of a matrix in order to give each row group(i.e. each drill-down area in my matrix a header). This can be done in Reporting Services 2005.
However when I deploy this report to the corresponding url(Report Manager) it seems to be losing its formatting and not displaying correctly. The textboxes placed in the matrix header seem to go all over the place.
I do get a warning when I deploy the report ->
[rsOverlappingReportItems]. Some renderers do not support overlapping report items.
Hi, I am trying to work ouyt how to dislplay text from an SQL database onto the page whilst keeping the correct formatting, mainly the paragraph breaks. When I try using a label the text comes out as one long line instead of being seperated accordingly as it was done when written in a multiline textbox. I am currently achieving this by writing the text to a txt file and then displaying it dynamically by inserting each line into a new table row and then adding these to a table, but I would much rather store them in the databse along with the other information that is collected with it instead. Someone told me to use a textbox to achieve this but the problem is that this is not crawlable for the search engine.
I've got a field I'm trying to convert into a date format as it currently sits as a text field. The date setup is of the format DD/MM/YYYY. Some of the fields are NULL, however for the sake of filling in gaps I've just set the nulls to '01-01-1905'.
I've tried to use CAST to change the data into a readable format for SQL Server however I tend to get one of two messages:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
We have migrated a CRM Database from SQLServer 2000 to SQLServer 2005.
Database contains very sensitive data about customer in text format (Datatype varchar(20)) how can i encrypt the same without any change in the table design.
Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's. In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this. How can I do this?
Dear friends, In SQLServer, it seems to make data stored in Unicode, you need to go to each column type and change it from varchar to nvarchar.
Apart from this, is there a direct way of Setting Unicode for the whole database at once, which would set all coulns to the unicode equivalent. It seems there is such an option in Oracle
I have a problem with inserting records into table when an indexed viewis based on it.Table has text field (without it there is no problem, but I need it).Here is a sample code:USE testGOCREATE TABLE dbo.aTable ([id] INT NOT NULL, [text] TEXT NOT NULL)GOCREATE VIEW dbo.aViewWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT [id], CAST([text] AS VARCHAR(8000)) [text]FROM dbo.aTableGOCREATE TRIGGER dbo.aTrigger ON dbo.aView INSTEAD OF INSERTASBEGININSERT INTO aTableSELECT [id], [text]FROM insertedENDGODo the insert into aTable (also through aView).INSERT INTO dbo.aTable VALUES (1, 'a')INSERT INTO dbo.aView VALUES (2, 'b')Still do not have any problem. But when I need index on viewCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX [id] ON dbo.aView ([id])GOI get following error while inserting record into aTable:-- Server: Msg 8626, Level 16, State 1, Procedure aTrigger, Line 4-- Only text pointers are allowed in work tables, never text, ntext, orimage columns. The query processor produced a query plan that requireda text, ntext, or image column in a work table.Does anyone know what causes the error?
My scenario is that I want to change the default SQL server format in my stored procedure more preferably only during the course of stored procedure execution (not permanent changes does any one have idea that how will I able to achieve this simple task...
I have just starting creating some stored procedures for our system and have a question related to management of these.
When using input parameters using the following syntax:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_someInputProcedure @Username as varchar(16) @Password as varchar(12) @Name as varchar(50) @Address as varchar(60) @Zip as int @City as varchar(30) ... etc.
This is all well and good, but what if I make a change in the datamodel - for instance changing a datatype or the length of a varchar - do I need to remember to manually update all stored procedures that uses these columns/variables?
Seems like a bit of a hazzle. Is there an easier way to do this?
Hi,This is driving me nuts, I have a table that stores notes regarding anoperation in an IMAGE data type field in MS SQL Server 2000.I can read and write no problem using Access using the StrConv function andI can Update the field correctly in T-SQL using:DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(BITS_data)FROM mytable_BINARY WHERE ID = 'RB215'WRITETEXT OPERATION_BINARY.BITS @ptrval 'My notes for this operation'However, I just can not seem to be able to convert back to text theinformation once it is stored using T-SQL.My selects keep returning bin data.How to do this! Thanks for your help.SD
This may be more of a data design question and not an ssis question, but figured folks here could have a good idea.....the organization I'm in has the business need of collecting data from outside organizations and tracking what data is bad and what data is good. When I say bad data I mean everything from things outside of range to absolute *** - characters in integer columns, integers in character columns, special characters, etc. The data comes in in the form of flat file so it's a free for all until it hits ssis & the db engine.
Eventually of course they work to get the data corrected at the source & resubmitted but in the meantime, they have the legitimate need of not only pushing the data into the database (dirty or not), but keeping all the bad stuff. I can't in good conscience make everything a varchar to catch everything - that would go against the database gods. IMO - I still must make an integer be an integer , characters are characters, etc. But what do I do with the junk? Any thoughts?

I need to develop reports from data warehouse. But before I have to send the data from operational database (SQL Server 2000) to warehouse (SQL Server 2005) monthly - I have a script for retrieving the data. For my package, I chose Data Flow Task, Execute SQL Task, and OLE DB Destination, and it does not work.
Please help me if I can look similar packages performing? Thank you!!
Is it possible to purge all records in the database while retaining the the table structures. Even better yet, could I do it on a table by table basis? If I simply delete all the records the identities for the tables do not revert back to 1.
Currently I have a column with multiple postcodes in one value which are split with the “/” character along with the corresponding location data. What I need to do is split these postcode values into separate rows while keeping their corresponding location data.
For example PostCode Latitude Longitude 66000/66100 42.696595 2.899370 20251/20270 42.196471 9.404951
Would become PostCode Latitude Longitude 66000 42.696595 2.899370 66100 42.696595 2.899370 20251 42.196471 9.404951 20270 42.196471 9.404951
Hi,I've got some XML which exists as a text variable in a temp table in SQL Server 2000.I need to pass this XML into sp_xml_preparedocument so I can rebuild a table out of it. But I can't figure out the syntax.If I try doing this:declare @idoc intexec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, (select XmlResult from #cache)I get an error, with or without the brackets round the select statement.The temp table is created using an SP, but I can't call that directly either. This:declare @idoc intexec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, exec Search$GetCache @searchIDAlso throws an error.I can't put it into a local variable because they can't be of type text. I can't pass it into the SP somewhere as it's being generated on the fly.How can I get my xml into sp_xml_preparedocument?Cheers,Matt

I am using MS visual web developer and i get a lot of things but one thing i do not get is why is it when i set up the web.config to a data base i made on my own and run the website and create an account it creates a new data base and creates that new account in that new database, i've never opened the web admin tools. <connectionString> <add name="LoginConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Visual Studio 2005WebSitesWebSite1App_DataYourEstate.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>
I am saving large text document in an image type of column in a SQL Server 2000 table. How will I set up searching of words/ phrases for data stored in this column?
I need someone to give me a small briefieng on how a enterprise data warehouse (EDW)differs from a regular database? Currently we have an appplication that accesses a database with about 18 tables. We also have a Data Warehouse. For some reason I was thinking that it would be possibly to migrate thedatabase into the data warehouse. The reason is that in looking at the schematic design forthe data warehouse there are some data tables that could also be used by our application that uses the DB. I guess I am confused because I am not sure if a data warehouse is used in the same wayas a database?

SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database: If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist. If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database. Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine. The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
