Integration Services Data Types Maximum Length
Apr 17, 2007Hi,
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.

Data Type And Length In SQL Server
Nov 4, 2005Hello 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!

Selecting Maximum From A Varchar Field In A Data Flow
May 31, 2006I have a problem selecting maximum values inside a data flow, when the field is varchar. For example, I could have an incoming text file with following rows (the real life problem is a bit more complicated, but the idea is the same)
ID Desc
1 Car
1 Truck
1 Bicycle
2 Horse
2 Cow
Now I would like to group by ID, and have the maximum value from the Desc field, resulting
ID Desc
1 Truck
2 Horse
I tried to sort the data flow first with ID ascending and Desc descending, followed by sort with ID ascending and "Remove duplicate sort values" turned on. However, the sort does not seem to select the first Desc value it gets, because the result is.
ID Desc
1 Bicycle
2 Horse
If you have any hints, how to tackle this problem, please help!

How To Convert Datetime Field To A Date Field So Excel Recognize It As Data Type
May 17, 2015I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?
I tried:
CONVERT(varchar(8),TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CONVERT(Date,TASK_FINISH_DATE ,3)
CAST(TASK_FINISH_DATE as date)
**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.

Exeption MSDE Maximum Length Is 128
Aug 18, 2004I am using a SProc to update some fields in a database. The field I am updating is a comment field. When I pass the parameter by doing a Command.ExecuteNonQuery I get an exception that says my parameter is greater than 128. The field it is updating is a nvarchar with a length of 500. I found an article on Microsoft's website that is alluding to the fact that a "name" cannot be greater than 128. How else can I do an update of this size? I would like to use a SProc. I am still learning SQL 2000 and MSDE so this may be an easy fix. Here is the exception I am getting: "The identifier that starts with 'My data thats needs to be updated to the database' is too long. Maximum length is 128." -VBJB

Maximum Length Of System_user Function

I am trying to nail down a standard field width for audit columns that store the return value from system_user but I can't find definitive information about the return type of the function. Does anyone know the maximum length of the return value from the system_user function and if its an nvarchar, varchar, nchar, etc.?

Maximum Length Of Return In Query Analyzer
Apr 13, 2006I am executing a SELECT statement that has about 500 characters of literal characters concatenated with the contents of a field from a table. I am then storing the result to be run as dynamic SQL. I am finding that when run this as select statement in query analyzer, the last part of the literal gets truncated. When I run it as a cursor and store it in a varchar(1000) variable and print the variable everything works fine. In addition when I put the select statement in a stored procedure and return this to a ADO recordset, the resultset is fine as well. But running the stored procedure in query analyzer truncates the results as well. The issue seems to be getting the results of the SELECT in query analyzer. Even running the stored procedure in the SQL area of Enterprise Manager returns a proper result. Has anyone heard of a maximum return from a select in query analyzer?

I can preview this fine in SSDT. I have read various solutions which involve editing the config file but I don't have permissions to get to these files. Is there any way to amend the maximum length either through SSMS or SSDT? If not how can I make my map size small enough to deploy? It is a very simple shape file with no colours etc and I am passing random 100 data points to it from my dataset.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTransact SQL :: NVARCHAR Field Getting Truncated After Increasing Field Length?
Aug 28, 2015I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.
It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:
Inserted Value -> Result in table
123456-8 -> 123456-8 *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567- *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789 *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567# *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9 *Correct
Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?
I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.
BlobColumn.GetBlobData() With Data Length &&> Integer Length (32767)
Mar 27, 2008For 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,
