DataSource Controls :: Regarding Size - Nvarchar(100) Vs Nvarchar(50)
Mar 25, 2010
Does it make a difference in terms of the actual size of the database if I define one of the columns as nvarchar(100)? If there are restrictions on the form as for how much you can input, let's say 50 characters, does the db save blank spaces from character 51-100 and create a database that is larger than it would be it the column was defined as nvarchar(50)?
I would like to know, how to set up the Entity framework to create a nvarchar(50) insted of a nvarchar(4000), when creating a string? by the way I am not using the designer!
On one of our applications we are getting a timeout error on an 'additional details' field in our database, the field type is nVarChar(MAX).
The error seems to be happening when a user enters more than 4000 characters into the additional details field. It is my understanding that this fieldtype can store up to 8gb of data and should be used in stead of the "Text" field type?
We have since limited the user from entering more than 4000 characters via the application, however the DB still contains legacy data - when the 'additional details' with more than 4000 characters is pulled out - "Timeout Error".
i want to convert all my database columns whose data type is char,varchar, nchar to nvarchar datatype. But the main problem is that some of my primary key, foreign key columns are also of varchar datatype. So when i try to change their datatypes to nvarchar then i receive the errors related to constraints of Primary Key, Unique Key and indexes. how to change the datatypes to nvarchar after droping the constraints and after changing all constraints will apply again. I also want that no data loss will occur.
when i am trying to uedit my recods in gridview this error is coming. I am using SQLDatasource with gridview and for edit purpose i am using stored procedure. I have manually executed the SP and its woring fine. my SP is here
I get this error when I am trying to concatenate the two fields in bold into one field for a datagrid.
select count(cp.iOwnerID) as enrolled,(duration + '' + duration_interval) AS Duration ,session_id,school_id as SchoolId,program_id as ProgramId,convert(nvarchar(10),session_start_date,101) as SessionStartDate, session_class_size as SessionClassSize from dbo.cnSchoolProgramSessions cn with (nolock) left join customerproduct cp on convert(datetime,convert(nvarchar(10),session_start_date,101)) = convert(datetime,convert(nvarchar(10),cp.dtPurchasedate,101)) where record_status = 1 and school_id = '" & iSchool & "' and program_id = '" & iProgram & "' and (CP.chProductNumber = '" & Me.Label5.Text & "' or CP.chProductNumber IS NULL) group by session_id, school_id, program_id,session_start_date,session_class_size,duration,duration_interval
I have the following problem: I need to store in MS SQL Server 2005 a vary large text in to one field of type nvarchar(MAX), In spite of the configuration is apparently correct I keep receiving the following message in the exception: "string or binary data would be truncated".
I have a column with nvarchar datatype storing the date. I am using a Gridview to display and edit data of that table. Now when I update the table the nvarchar column containing date in the format mm/dd/yyyy gets converted to Jun 9 2010 12:00AM format. I don't want this to be happening. I don't understand why this is happening as I don't have datetime column.
my column data is from 'nvarchar' type and the data for my text box is from string type. when i want to compare these value , the expression always is false . even when the values are equal. i use Convert.toInt32 for my column have dataType int but in this part i want compare two string type.
In one of my stored procedure I have to compare two nvarchar datatype values.The values containing both numerical and characters.Which function should I write? And one more problem i.e if a number containing zeros in starting ,I should also match including zeros.But not omit zeros.
note MONTH AND DATES stored in single or double digits as they occur. Unfortunately DATE TIME is stored in NVARCHAR Data type column as 2/9/2010, 22/10/2010 etc. Following UK Date here. It is required to pull the data to COUNT No. of Expired. Obviously below one fails.
I have a doubt in regards to use varchar or nvarchar for portuguese content, so the question is:varchar support all portuguese chars? or must I use nvarchar (unicode)
Scenario: If you create a table with a column of type nvarchar, populate it with some content and try to modify it using the WebMatrix editor, from nvarchar to ntext, it does not display any error message or warning that this is not possible. It silently saves and reverts the change, back to nvarchar. Wasted some hours on this issue as I thought my column was ntext, but in fact was still nvarchar.
Expected behavior: It should change to ntext, or if SQL CE doesn't support that, it should notify the user that no change was applied.
The following datatype or size property of <Tablename>.<Columnname> doesn't match <Tablename>.<Columnname>. When creating a foreign key relationship, the data types and other properties of selected columns must match. Select a column with the same data types and other properties as the related column. The properties that must match are Data type, Length, Precision, Scale, and Collation.
I am trying to add a constraint to my database and I keep get the above error. I can find Data type, length, and Collation in the properties. What are precision and scale in this context. I don't see such settings. Specifically I am trying to add a relationship from the aspnet_Membership table to a table that I added. I have put a relationship on aspnet_Users.UserName to another table, so I am baffeled.
My table contains a column named visitorimage with image as the datatype. I have a stored procedure to insert an image but whenever I try to create the sp an error occurs saying"Operand type clash: nvarchar is incompatible with image". What's the problem and how to fix this?
