Querying A TEXT Datatype Column In SQL Server 2000
Jan 17, 2008
HI,
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
Hello. I using a simply SELECT statement to retrieve some data from aSQL SERVER via an ODBC connection. I had to go from VARCHAR to TEXTbecause the amount of data. Anyway, my SQL statements worked just finewhen I was using VARCHAR, but now since I am using TEXT, I am onlyreceiving part of the content back. Do I have to do some sort ofspecial Casting or something if I want to get all the content back?It's over 8,000 characters. Thank you very much. I have racking mybrain on this for a while.
Hi,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.
Hello,How do I change the datatype of a column in a CSV file. Preferably in the select statement (apparently Cast, Convert, & Replace functions don't work when selecting from a CSV). I have a page where users upload their CSV files to and then I use SQLBulkCopy to insert all the records into my sql table. The problem is with columns of money data. EX: "$2,000" >> 2000The CSV file interprets the "$2,000" as a string of text. How do I convert it to a decimal so I can insert it into my sql database?
I am converting a MS Access 2000 project to use SQL Server. This project has uncovered a number of problems, my latest seems to be very odd.
When I query using ADO against the SQL Server database, the results don't seemed to be returned immediately. It's like the access methods being used are waiting too long to write/read the data.
This could be a simple ADO configuration error, but I cannot find any settings that would make this behave so strange.
I'm using OLE/DB drivers with trusted security and attaching using client-side recordsets (I tried server-side as well, same results) to get data for the Access form. In many instances, the data from the form is not yet retrieved when I check the results using the debugger. If I execute the same section of code just seconds later, it works without fail.
I ran the SQL Server Profiler just for grins and found that records were not getting written to the database as I would have expected. Apparently ADO had generated a transaction and rolled it back. (why I don't know) I have looked in Microsoft's support database and on MSDN to no avail. Rather then rewriting my T-SQL as stored procedures for these functions, I'm hoping for some insights from anyone else who has been down this nasty road.
Here is the exact scenario:
Problem #1: A form that accepts data and has an update button does not update the recordset being used to populate the form. I even coded a rst.Update statement into the code. The record within the recordset isn't updated until the DoCmd.GotoRecord , , acNewRec call has been made. I suppose I could code the insert statement myself, but shouldn't Access be updating the database for me. (it does have r/w access)
Problem #2: A subform that performs a query and allows records to be added to a table does not correctly detect data returned from the query. A check is made in the code for a field (which has a value of 0) but the code detects a null value. If I step through this code in the debugger, enough time passes that the value is present and I never see the problem. If I set a breakpoint at the error, the null condition is indicated, even though the debugger shows a value of 0 for the field.
SQL Server version is 2000, with SP3a applied.
I updated the MDAC to 2.8, JET to 8.0 and still the same problem. I cannot find anything in my ADO or Access books for a setting that would cause this behavior. My connection is using the following info:
Set Conn = New ADODB.Connection Conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset Connection string: Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=myserver;Initial Catalog=mydb;Trusted_Connection=Yes;Integrated Security=SSPI; Recordset Cursor type: adOpenDynamic Recordset LockType: adLockOptimistic
I open the recordset using: rst.Open mytable, Conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTableDirect
Problem # 1
After manipulating the data in the form, I press a "save" button on the form. This button calls a number of subroutines, eventually executing the code below:
Problem # 2 I set the recordsource using: (in the form_open) Me.RecordSource = "Select * from mytable where myfield = 'data'"
In the form_unload, the problems occur. It tests for a value stored in the form from the query. This value is null at the time of the code execution, it has a value when inspected within the debugger however.
Maybe I'm missing something here, this project was originally coded using DAO. My conversion to ADO is 95% complete. (all of these two components are converted to ADO) This problem is causing me to miss out on sleep and look like a rookie.
Has anyone seen or heard of something such as this? Is there any hope for this snarled mess of 25K lines of code?
Hello --I'm trying to get SQL Server 2000 on a Windows 2000 Server to be ableto query an Active Directory. We've got two domain servers one Win2000and one Win2003.

I created an Image for the Database in sqlserver 2000. When I am querying directly the database as "Select * from employee", it is returning the result set.
But, when I am querying Database image with same query. It is giving error
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid object name 'Employee'
It is expecting the Database Owner. If I do query like "Select * from [Owner].employee", it is working fine.
My requirement is not use owner in queries, it should be simple query ("Select * from employee").
Can any one, help me out. Thanks in advance. Bhupesh
Is there any way to deploy reports to a Report Manager in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 if the reports query SQL Server 2000 databases? Or are only 2005 databases able to deploy to the web?
Also, if I have a report that queries both, can I deploy it to the web on the 2005 Report Manager with a linked server to the 2000 server?
I'm working on a query in which I need to get few nodes values from the XML data by using the value from SQL column (MessageContentType) in this query. I'm able to get the nodes value when i hard code the value in the query but the problem is MessageContentType will vary from some records in the table, due to that I'm not getting the corresponding node values. I have tried few ways to get this value dynamically but I'm missing something.
Sample Table Data MessageContentType | BodySegment xx:ADT_A03_26_GLO_DEF | <ns0:ADT_A03_26_GLO_DEF xmlns:ns0="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X">.....
Current Query - HardCode Script
SELECT ID,MsgContentType BODYSEGMENT, BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /xx:ADT_A03_26_GLO_DEF[1]/colxx[1]/colxx[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan FROM s
When i tried the below line of script, I'm getting this error "[color=#FF0000]The argument 1 of the XMLdata type method "value" must be a string literal.[/color]"
Concat MsgContentType Column BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /'+MsgContentType+'[1]/EVN_EventType[1]/EVN_2_RecordedDateTime[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
To overcome that error i used sql column but I'm getting this error [color=#FF0000]XQuery [S.bodysegment.value()]: Syntax error near '[', expected a "node test"[/color].
BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /[sql:column("MsgContentType")][1]/EVN_EventType[1]/EVN_2_RecordedDateTime[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
I tried this line of script, i didn't get any error by timespan is coming as null, I do hope this script not pointing the correct node to traverse the sibling node.
BODYSEGMENT.value('declare namespace xx="http://microsoft.com/HealthCare/HL7/2X"; /*[local-name()=sql:column("MsgContentType")][1]/EVN_EventType[1]/EVN_2_RecordedDateTime[1]','varchar(300)') AS TimeSpan
i have so doubts in my mind and that i want to discuss with you guys... Can i use more then 5/6 fields in a table with datatype of Text as u know Text can store maximu data... ? acutally i am trying to store a very long strings values into the all fields. it's just popup into my mind that might be table structer would not able to store that my amount of data when u use more then 5/6 text datatypes...
and another thing... is which one is better to use as data type "Text" or "varchar(max)"... ? if any article to read more about these thing,, can you refere to me...
Can anybody tell how to import a table with the text column from SQL Server 2000 to MySQL 4.0.17? I tried this using ODBC connection but got an error message saying, "Query-based Insertion or updating of BLOB values is not supported".
I want to insert a value which has the UTF-8 encoding into a field of the database which has the "text" data Type but it saves like this : " ?????????????? "
I would be thankful if u tell me how should I save it ? here is the SqlComand I wrote :
I'm fairly new to SQL and am just setting up a Windows 8 app using an Azure SQL server. The issue I have is looking up a part number supersession and getting the latest number. One part number can have multiple supersessions (ie RTC5756 > STC8572 > STC3765 > STC9150 > STC9191 > SFP500160 ).The data I am supplied monthly has both the superseeded items and the supersession information in both columns and is not easy to decipher - for example:
The newest part number is kept in a separate table - called "source" - which in this instance is SFP500160. I need access to the latest part number but also to the part's previous numbers, due to the fact that some people may still be stocking them as an old part number and for them to search by. Is there an easy and efficient way of doing both a lookup for the supersessions and a join on the two tables to minimize the queries on the database?
Hello everyone ! I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image). I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents. Example: I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed. I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page. Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ? Best regards. Yannick
This may be easy (hopefully). I am trying to query a text field and filter out based on the number of characters the user has inputed. For example, I only want results returned where the text field has more than 50 characters inputed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am populating a rad grid with foreign language data. I have set the sql server 2005 Database table column to nvarchar. This works for all the languages except Hindi and Punjabi resulting in the text appearing as letters instead of the correct symbols. Can anyone tell me the correct sql server column datatype for Hindi and Punjabi characters?
I ran a db update script to update the datatype for a column from a tinyint to a smallint:
ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN Age smallint
Then I ran another db update script to update the value in these 2 columns:
update MyTable set Age = Age * 12,
However, the second db update script returns the following error:
Msg 220, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Arithmetic overflow error for data type tinyint, value = 1440. The statement has been terminated.
SSMS shows the column with the new data type of smallint. I even restarted SSMS but I still get the error above. 1440 is out of range for a tiny int but should be in range for a smallint. Both scripts need to be executed together in sequence by the release manager.
Sir, Is there any way to insert picture to image datatype in sql server 2000 without using front end. If so please let me know. Thanks in Advance,Arun.
I have to write a query that queries a database table and a text file wich is delimited using fixed width values. I have seen some examples using access or another databse but not much about a text file. Is this the best way? Idon't want to set up a linked server. I want everything to be within the query.
My understanding is that I should be able to do it since a text file can be a valed OLE DB datasource, but I am having trouble finding example syntax. Can all my connection info be passed with the OPENROWSET function? Can I do it by just writing a query? Or do I have to set up and configure other things?
Any guidence, tips, advice, examples, or links of syntax appreciated.

I have designed a CV database with complete CV stored in a TEXT field. There is a keyword search which queries the TEXT field also. The query conditions are defined in T-SQL submitted through an ASP page. There is about 20,000 records now. Now while querying the database for keyword search I am receiving time out errors. Is there any solution other than Index server to rectify this situation. How can I speed up the query execution time. Please advise.
I have a table where I need to pull all the component parts for a given part number. In the fictious data below, the information I need to be able to pull back is all the components for the part number 4444ZZZ-01.
Code SnippetSelect PARPRT_02, COMPPRT_02 FROM [Product Structure] WHERE PARPRT_02='4444ZZZ-01'
But what I am having trouble with is stating IF the COMPRT_02 is also listed in PARPRT_02 then show this information also. I have tried to research all kinds of joins(inner, self, right, left), unions, derived tables....but most of the explanations I have found only go so far and I have found nothing that really nails it.
Thanks (this table basically is a Build of materials where a given model has multiple parts and any given part might have sub parts listed under them) example 4444ZZZ-01 is a computer with a part 801277 that is a wiring assembly. The part 801277 has two parts associated with it - 101483 - the wiring assembly itself and D801277 a document file.
From the BOL, what I understood is, Text Datatype can accept more characters than 'char' & 'varchar' datatypes. There is no limitation like 8000 characters(what we hv in 'char' & 'varchar').
But I am surprised I am not able to add more than 8000 characters to my text datatype. Can anybody guide me how to do this?. Any help is appreciated.
i have a column type text i want to perform split functionality that is not currenctly availablein mssql server 2000.

I have to create Sum() in SSRS for my report. My field data type is TEXT and i can not create sum function in ssrs. I can not make change to data type since it is linked table in access database. Is there any way to sum text data type???.
