View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 10 RepliesI 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 am using sql server 2008. Could anyone tell me the differance between varchar(25) and nvarchar(25)? Which is more efficient?

View 2 RepliesSo 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.

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:

The statement has been terminated.
Suprisingly every thing worked well in sqlserver 2005 and not working in sqlserver 2000.
I have developed the WCF service as follows.
1) Service Contracts in a project
2) Data Contracts in a project
3) Finally adding the reference of service contract project in a Hosting project (Console Application) with complete configurations.
I am adding one more windows app project as a client.When i am trying to add the service reference using the address "http://localhost:8000/Tasks", VS 2008 displays the below error.
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'.
Could not connect to http://localhost:8000/Tasks. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
What function do I use to reduce all entries in a database field to a maximum length. The field is 100 characters wide and I need to chop all existing entries in the field down to 20 characters. I prefer not to redefine the field to 20 wide to lose the data and then redefine back to 100.
UPDATE CmpyInfo
SET ( ShortName to 20 characters max )
WHERE ShortName.Length > 20
I was wondering if people out there test the length of their text values before inserting them into an SQL INSERT or UPDATE command? I got lazy and stopped doing it lately but I do restrict the length of some of my character fields so that I have a NCHAR(50) field but don't test the length of the string when inserting or updating and just rely on the server to fire back any problems.Am I being 'efficient' or 'lazy' or even 'dangerous'?I appreciate the opinion of you as just about anyone has more experience with SQL Server than I do.
View 10 RepliesI have a datagrid and I set up the paging based on how many rows there are like this
With dgBookings
.AllowPaging = True
.PagerStyle.Mode = PagerMode.NumericPages
.PagerStyle.PageButtonCount = 5

End With
Is there a way to set the horizontal-align in the code too I tried adding this
.PagerStyle.HorizontalAlign = Right
and I get this errorArgument not specified for parameter 'Length' of 'Public Function Right(str As String, Length As Integer) As String'.
I have my Web site set up to use SQL Server session state. This works fine. When a session starts, a row is created in ASPStateTempSessions.
When the user logs off the application, I am trying to call the stored procedure TempRemoveStateItem to clean up after myself (not sure if this is the right way to do it or not).
What I noticed is that the SQL table's SessionID column contains 32 characters whereas the .NET Session.SessionID value only contains 24 characters (which match the first 24 characters of the 32 characters stored in the SQL table). Because the values do not match, the stored procedure always fails.
Why would the SessionID value differ between .NET and SQL?
I am storing date data in sql server as varchar but I want to make comaparisons on this field in where clause- like this field from 2 days before or after etc
