SQL Server :: Changing From Ntext To Varchar(max) On Important Live Data?
Mar 23, 2011
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 heard that even though the maximum varchar size is 8000, that we should not go higher than 7500 for the size value. What is the logic behind this advice?

I have two database.one is "TEMS1" and another one is "TEMSLIVE"
"TEMS1" is my local database.
"TEMSLIVE" is client database.
my application is working fine while connecting to my local database. when connecting to client database("TEMSLIVE") it's shows "Msg 457, Level 16, State 1, Procedure GET_MY_TRAVEL_PENDING_ACTIONS, Line 53 Implicit conversion of varchar value to varchar cannot be performed because the collation of the value is unresolved due to a collation conflict." this error. i have compared "TEMS1" and "TEMSLIVE" stored procedure(GET_MY_TRAVEL_PENDING_ACTIONS),but both are identical only.

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.

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?
where product_name field is set as type text

I am using a generic handler (indicator.ashx) to create a graphic that is overlayed from information from a table (called LIVE) from our SQL database. This is working very well and I am very happy with the results.
However I am having an undesirable issue where the query string that is used for this is also being accessed by another page (called ReceiveLive.aspx) which is populating our LIVE table with data when we don't want this. I have been able to track this issue down to our generic handler that seems to populate this table with data whenever the handler is accessed.
The query string that is used to access our graphic through our generic handler is
http://mydomain.com/indicator.ashx?ID=ABC001.
Our other page that writes data to our LIVE database used the query string
http://mydomain.com/live.aspx?ID=ABC001 which is normally only accessed by a small piece of software that sits on the users PC and sends the data when necessary.
My question is this: How do I prevent data from being written to our LIVE table via the Live.aspx page everytime a query string is processed by my indicator.ashx is accessed?

My filter Expression was working fine with filtering by Control Parameters.When I added the Phone Parameter it went nuts - with the Phone Parameter the GridView just Comes out blank upon loading the page (without it would show Select * from Individuals)Is it because the phone field is populated with numbers? Don't get it.... In the SQL server the 'phone' field is set to 'varchar(30)' and nulls are allowed.here is my code:

I want to change one of my table columns data type. Now the column data type is varchar and i want to change it to float. Updated all the column data to numeric and tried to convert the datatype with the following syntax
alter table vibration_values alter column dis_v float
but getting the error as
Error converting data type varchar to float.
The statement has been terminated.
Suprisingly every thing worked well in sqlserver 2005 and not working in sqlserver 2000.

I have a site in development with several web services (ASMX) that post important data to my database. When I navigate to the ASMX file in my browser, I can fill in the form with the parameters and post to the DB. If someone finds the URL to my WS, they can severely alter my database. I want to prevent people from being able to post to my WS publicly. So far, I've thought of two things that may but I'd like to know if there are any other ways:
Check to see if the HTTP Referrer to the WS method is the domain the WS is on Add an additional parameter called Key to all important WS methods and have this be an encrypted "password." Then encrypt my stored password on the WS side and compare if the keys match.

I know that varchar(n) in sql server specifies that a variable character of n bytes can be stored But what value of "n" should I choose if I have to store a string of say 100 character in that field. I am not able to decide the size of varchar when creating a table in database when I have to store a string of say 50 characters or string or 100 or say 1000 characters.

I've checked that the values really are identical in the debug. I was under the impression that no conversion is neccessary between string and varchar, but maybe I'm wrong.

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.
