I have a column in my table that is both telephone numbers and text. I have made the field type text as I want to be able to use both in my database. However when I import it into my database, it wants to import that field type as double?! so when it enters my database, all the text entries are null.
Please can someone tell me how to get both the numbers and the text in the database?

Create the table first in SQL
CREATE TABLE tblCust(RowId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, Phone nvarchar(20) NULL)
Then import and use column mapping.
|

I've just done that, but even when I am on the mapping form(hopefully you've used the import tool with SQL 2005) although the type field says nvarchar, at the bottom of the page it says this:
Source Column Destination Telephone No Double(15)
But that makes no sense because in my excell spreadsheet the field is a text field, I changed it from a general field to a text field?????

Hey all, Please help!
I have a delete statement that relys on data not being in another table, it is as follows:
delete MyTable
where substring(MyColumn, 1, charindex('/', MyColumn) - 1) not in (select MyOtherColumn from MyOtherTable)
The problem is that not all the rows contain a '/' so the statement will error as no int value is found for the length parameter coming from char index.
This needs to be done as a case statement I think, but I just can't find the correct syntax, I'm trying to avoid looping through each row as theres lots of them!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance

You could try this:
delete MyTable
where substring(MyColumn, 1, charindex('/', MyColumn + '/') - 1) not in (select MyOtherColumn from MyOtherTable)
which will just give you the full value from MyColumn
Hope this helps

hi all,
I am changing a sql Server 2000 query to sql server 2005.
That query contains =*.I changed it to Outer join in 2005.But the query returns only 1000 rows and in 2000 it returns 120000 rows.
here is the query in 2000
<br />
select p.planno,e.element,I.Invhst from plan_ p,Element e,Invhst I<br />
where p.Planno=e.Planno<br />
and I.Planno=*p.Planno
here is the query in 2005
select p.planno,e.element,I.Invhst from plan_ p<br />
inner join element E on P.Planno=E.Planno<br />
Left outer join Invhst on I.Planno=p.Planno
Please give me ur suggestion and help to solve this problem.
thanks in advance,
Sangeet

is it supposed to return 120000 rows, you could be duplicating data in sqlserver 2k. crossproducts of tables typically do that in my experience, which is why i dont use them.

Have you tried a RIGHT join?

Hello Friends,
I've deleted my Table1's records and now i want to retrieve all of deleted records using Rollback.......
Can anybody tell me how can i do it using rollback or any other way.....
|

If you did a BEGIN TRAN before the delete then issuing a ROLLBACK TRAN will undo your delete and restore all your records, otherwise they have gone. You could restore from your latest backup - assuming you have one.
Hope this helps.

Hi there,
I am trying to encrypt my sotred procedures with "WITH ENCRYPTION" clause like this ALTER PROC myProcedure WITH ENCRYPTION. It works well for the stored procedure that has not parameters but for a stored procedure with parameter list it generates the following error.
"Incorrect syntax near '@p_param1'." where @p_param1 is the first parameter. Note that this SP is giving the proper results and runs well.
Thanx in advance

Try adding the WITH clause after your parameters list like
create procedure testproc<br />
@param1 int<br />
with encryption <br />
as<br />
begin<br />
[your stmts here]<br />
end<br />

Hi everyone,
I am getting a bizzare message when I try running a stored procedure on SQL Server 2000 Query Analyzer. The message is "Formal parameter '@ACTION' was defined as OUTPUT but the actual parameter not declared OUTPUT".
Now, what I don't get is - the '@ACTION' parameter is NOT an output parameter. This is how the parameter is defined in the stored procedure header:
CREATE PROCEDURE [GV_SUPP_VALUATION_EDIT]
@ACTIVE_USER_ID INTEGER = 0,
@VALUATION_ID INTEGER = 0,
.
.
.
@ACTION VARCHAR(50) = 'SAVE',
@ERROR VARCHAR(500) = '' OUTPUT
AS
PRINT 'PROCEDURE [SDE].[GV_SUPP_VALUATION_EDIT]'
As you see from the code above, only the @ERROR parameter is defined as output. Why then am I getting this error? 
Your assistance with this is highly appreciated

Based on your post, I can't tell what's happening. I copied and pasted your snippet and it runs fine (see below). Maybe you could post the entire header along with the code you're using to call the procedure it might be easier to help figure out what's wrong.
Here's what I tried:
<br />
CREATE PROCEDURE [GV_SUPP_VALUATION_EDIT]<br />
@ACTIVE_USER_ID INTEGER = 0, <br />
@VALUATION_ID INTEGER = 0,<br />
@ACTION VARCHAR(50) = 'SAVE', <br />
@ERROR VARCHAR(500) = '' OUTPUT<br />
AS<br />
PRINT 'PROCEDURE [SDE].[GV_SUPP_VALUATION_EDIT]'<br />
go<br />
<br />
DECLARE @ERROR VARCHAR(500)<br />
EXEC [GV_SUPP_VALUATION_EDIT] 0, <br />
0,<br />
'SAVE', <br />
@ERROR OUTPUT<br />

Hi,
Thanks for your reply  I just figured out what I'd done wrong! 
|
|
|
|

Hey everyone,
This is so embarassing! The message was actually correct, I was passing a non-output parameter as an output parameter. What prevented me from picking this up is the number of parameters I was passing, the 'edit' stored proc has 28 parameters - @ACTION is the 27th. My mistake was that I wasn't passing the 24th parameter, which is optional anyway.
This actually has made me favour the practice of using the syntax @param1=param1, @param2=param2, ... , @paramn=paramn - when calling stored procedures. I mean, if I had done this, then I wouldn't have suffered for 3 hours because of an optional parameter!
By the way, it's a great site you guys have here - keep up the good work!
