DataSource Controls :: SQL Server Does Not Handle Comparison Of NText, Text / Xml Or Image Data Types
May 24, 2010
I have a bit of code in a clickevent handler like this:-
Dim products = From p In db.Products where p.product_name = "Tool" Select New With {p.Product_ID,p.Product_name}
Gridview1.Datasource = products
GridView1.Databind()
But causes error=SQL Server does not handle comparison of NText, Text, Xml, or Image data types?
I've found a lot of similar topics but none of them solves my problem.
I have table structure like that
[Code]....
Everyone suggests to change ntext type to nvarchar(MAX) and life will be beautyfull. But... First, I need ntext, simply because there should be text in this field.
nvarchar(MAX) equals 4096 bytes which is to small for large text. Second, I already have table with ntext field, which does not cause this error.
I am trying to explode some data from an ntext field into a cvs for import, here is what i have so far,
DECLARE @XML as XML DECLARE @hDoc as INT SET @XML = (SELECT billaddress FROM order WHERE id=7 ) exec sp_xml_prepairedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, @XML SELECT firstname FROM OPENXML (@hDoc, '//') WITH (type text './type/@text', FirstName text './FirstName/@text') exec sp_xml_removedocument @hDoc OUTPUT
here is the errors:
Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 4
Could not find stored procedure 'sp_xml_prepairedocument'.
Msg 8179, Level 16, State 5, Line 6
Could not find prepared statement with handle 0.
Msg 6607, Level 16, State 3, Procedure sp_xml_removedocument, Line 1
sp_xml_removedocument: The value supplied for parameter number 1 is invalid.
I am trying to create a method that accepts multiple types of controls - in this case Labels and Panels. The conversion does not work because IConvertible doesn't convert these Types.
public void LocationsLink<C>(C control) { if (control != null) { WebControl ctl = (WebControl)Convert.ChangeType(control, typeof(WebControl)); Literal txt = new Literal(); HyperLink lnk = new HyperLink(); txt.Text = "If you prefer a map to the nearest facility please "; lnk.Text = "click here"; lnk.NavigateUrl = "/content/Locations.aspx"; ctl.Controls.Add(txt); ctl.Controls.Add(lnk); } }
I'm trying to compare a parameter of type String with a database field of type ntext. Below is my vb code. carDescription is a field in the database table that is of type ntext. The code didn't work because you can't use the equality operator.
Dim carDescriptionLookupCmdString As String = "SELECT carMake FROM car WHERE carDescription = @description" Dim carDescriptionLookupCmd As New SqlCommand(carDescriptionLookupCmdString, dbConnection) carDescriptionLookupCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@description", description) Dim reader As SqlDataReader = carDescriptionLookupCmd.ExecuteReader()
A variety of files (pdf, images, etc.) are stored in a ntext field on a MS SQL Server. I am not sure what type is in this field, other than it shows question marks and undefined characters, I am assuming they are binary type.
The script is supposed to iterate through the rows and extract and save these files to a temp directory. "filename" and "contenttype" are given, and "data" is whatever is in the ntext field.
[code].....
This works, but the file should be saving to the server instead of popping up save-as dialog. I am not sure if there is a way to save the response to file.
So I have a ntext column in a table with a combination of large random data (hence why ntext in the first place) and sometimes contains a uniqueidentifier.
I need to find and delete rows based on the uniqueidentifier.
I can't do the comparison with it being ntext, but I changed it to varchar(max) in my dev enviornment and it let me do it without any warnings and I can now do my comparison like I want to, so all is good.
I just want to make sure I'm not changing any of my large random data by changing the data type.
I have a table with userID's stored in it and I want to SELECT a user out of that table to see if it's the current logged in user. I'm using this as logic to determine what action a button click will do. For example the button click will do something like this:
[Code]....
My broblem is getting the UserName from my table of data. I've tried it like this:[Code]....
But when I try debugging it shows that CurrentUser's value = Nothing
My UserNames (ToUser) contain letters and numbers (nvarchar(30)).
comparing integer values which are actually in string (varchar(9)) right now...I'm trying to do the following in a stored procedure..
SET @MinProjectYear = SELECT ProjYear FROM P_A WHERE ID = @ID SET @MaxProjectYear = SELECT ProjYear FROM P_A WHERE UserId = @UserID AND... IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM P_A WHERE MinProjectYear <= MaxProjectYear) return true
The MinProjectYear and MaxProjectYear are varchar(9) values stored as "2007-2008", "2009-2010", etc. How do I split and compare the years?? i.e. check if 2007-2008 <= 2009-2010 ??
Are there any disadvantages to always using nvarchar(MAX)?
Is there a general downside by chosing 'ntext' as column type instead of a type that contains chars but with a limited max size like 'char' or 'varchar'?
I'm not sure whether a limited column size is applyable to all my colums. Therefore I would use 'ntext' for all columns containing text. Might this lead to problems in the future?

I am using SQL2008 and created a full-text index on 1 of my tables. Going through the wizard, I was offered (2) types of population schedules as follows:New Table Schedule: Define a population schedule for a table.New Catalog Schedule: Define a population schedule for a full-text catalog.I am familiar with a 'Catalog' schedule for population which I do nightly and was similar to configuration on SQL2000 for a full text index. However, what is the difference for a 'Table' schedule vs the 'Catalog' population schedule? I have the definitions above, but if someone with knowledge could offer a better in depth explanation in comparison, and if I should use both or not (I have just a Catalog population scheduled currently),
I am using VS 2008.I am building a datatable of records to be inserted into a SQL Server 2005 table. The program loops through this table and builds a SqlParameter for each DataColumn in the datatable. The SqlParameters are used in the SQL Insert statement.
The field I am having a problem with is of type 'bit' in the database table and has no default value and cannot be nulls. The field is called 'Active' The meaning of this field in the application is Boolean i.e True or False. When inserting the record, I wish to default the field to "False".
When I define the columns in the datatable I am forced to use the following code to build the datatcolumn containing the boolean field i.e. dtcActive.DataType = GetType(Boolean) as there is no GetType(Bit)
Dim dtcActive As New DataColumn("Active") dtcActive.DataType = GetType(Boolean) dtcActive.Unique = False dtcActive.AllowDBNull = False dtcActive.DefaultValue = False dtProviderDayDetails.Columns.Add(dtcActive)
However, when I build the SqlParameter I am forced to use this:
If field.ColumnName = "Active" Then prm.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Bit prm.Value = "False" End If
This is because there is no SqlDbType.Boolean. The problem I have is there is no value I have been able to give the SqlParameter that is accepted by the Insert statement. It complains that the boolean field cannot be null on Insert.
I have a datatable for which i'm defining a dataadapter. I'm specifying an updatecommand with sqlparameters for the dataadapter I set the updatecommand's parameters using the following overload:

The length 16 is used because this is the length of the field according to sql (the image datafield is a pointer of size 16) I noticed .Net is actually truncating the string because of the length i'm setting. An image of size 3kb will properly upload if we set the length field to be greater than 3kb The question I have is what is the proper value (or strategy) to use in order to set for the length field so that ALL images will properly update to the database, with each using the appropriate size.
I guess i could theoretically set the length to be maxint, but this seems sloppy. Looking at sqlparameter documentation i didnt see an 'unlimited' or 'default' length i could set, which would allow each update statement called to use the appropriate size for the data length for that row.
need to add textbox in gridview and write code in textchange event in asp.net..i show the data in gridview if i click the button i show the textboxes but i need to write the code in that textchange event in that
How can I handle more than 4k of text on the new SQL Compact Edition 4? nvarchar only supports 4k and when I change to ntext, I get the same exception as I get using nvarchar(4k), when using the Microsoft.Data wrapper included with Microsoft WebMatrix. Should it normally work using ntext?
i have the below query where MessageText column is of ntext datatype..whe n i run the below query it is giving me the below error. Error :The data types ntext and varchar are incompatible in the add operator.
select li.LookUpPageInfoId, li.PageMessageID, li.PathMessageID, li.IsActive, m.MessageID, (select messagetext from messages where messageid=pagemessageid and channelid=m.ChannelID)+'/'+ m.MessageText as TotalText, m.ChannelID from LookUpPageInfo as li left outer join Messages as m on m.MessageID=li.PathMessageID and li.IsActive=1
Can some one suggest me how to concatenate the ntext column....but the above works good if the column MessageText is of nvarchar(max) datatype.

Now i want to get the list of message IDs where the message Text Contains some Special characters as like the characters from the below image. how to query to get the list of message ids where the message text contains any one of this special characters.
So admitingly I am fairly new at .NET...I have been a PHP guy for rather long time...
Heres my code:

Essentially what I am trying to do is query the SQL database by the username. This above code is a method within the user respository for fetching a user by their username. The variable "username" is passed in as a string.
When the method is called a recieve the following error:
The data types text and varchar are incompatible in the equal to operator.
This to me is rather confusing since the field in the database, user_username, is a text and the variable passed in, as said, is a string. They should be synonomous for all practical purposes.
How i can make the normal search string to sql server full text search parse, because when we are user enyer search text "how to run windows schedule in C#", in database we have article to to this, but data not returning and sometime is say error in key word and etc.
