Job truncates text data type

I have a table with a text data type and when I run my sql manually,
everything works fine - the text column is completely filled with what
I need (it's html from a http post request via a stored procedure).
When I put the exact same SQL inside a job, and kick the job off (or
let the agent pick it up on the schedule), it truncates the text column
to a width of 498, rendering my later job steps useless b/c the
expected data isn't there.
Why would the job cutoff the text in this column?What is the syntax used in the proc? Are you issuing an update/insert
or a writetext/updatetext statement?

> Thanks|||Jen,
You can use wzunzip.exe (WinZip command-line) to unzip the file. You can use
ftp -s <filename> to script the ftp (or use something like www.webdrive.com to
make the ftp server look like an NT drive). You can use bcp.exe or bulk insert
or dts to insert the records.
Pull it all together with a few lines of batch file.

[298] SQLServer Error: 15404, Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'VOLCANO\Administrator', error code 0x534. [SQLSTATE 42000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)

Can you tell me what operating system you have? Windows 2000, Windows 2003?

Thanks
Ovidiu Burlacu

This forum (and the error above) is for SQL Server Integration Services - is your question related to that?

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.


Hello Marc, I was just wondering what this ( Jit Debug Popup) means when it pops up onto your desktop. It happened to me today, and I want to know if there's anything to fix. If you could email me at goertzmatt@.hotmail.com I would greatly appreaciate it!!!!|||

Matt,

The cause of the JIT Debug I had was cause by my HP All in One Printer.

Since no one answered my problem I made a backup of all my files and rebuild my hard drive, formated like brand new. Reinstalled all my software and restore my files.

My PC is like brand new without problem. Hope this leads you to an idea of what is your next step.

Marc

rather than being handled by this dialog.


Hello Marc, I was just wondering what this ( Jit Debug Popup) means when it pops up onto your desktop. It happened to me today, and I want to know if there's anything to fix. If you could email me at goertzmatt@.hotmail.com I would greatly appreaciate it!!!!|||

Matt,

The cause of the JIT Debug I had was cause by my HP All in One Printer.

Since no one answered my problem I made a backup of all my files and rebuild my hard drive, formated like brand new. Reinstalled all my software and restore my files.

My PC is like brand new without problem. Hope this leads you to an idea of what is your next step.

Jioning Text fields together in SQL

Hi, I'm sure that this is probably a really easy question to most of you, but I seem to be spending ages on it as I am new to SQL. how do I add the carraige return char between joining two text fields ie.
a_blah.blah+CHAR(13)+b_blah.blah
Thanks for your help.That seems right, unless that is part of your result set, then you'll need an "AS" clause:

(table1.value1 + CHAR(13) + table2.value2) AS CombinedValue

Depending upon the datatype of value1 an value2, you need to CONVERT or CAST first.|||Thanks for the reply...

That is pretty much what I'm doing with the AS command, but I get an error when I try to run the query... can't find prog.char(13)??

I'm confused.|||This is straight out of the BOL:

USE Northwind
SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName, + CHAR(13) + Address,
+ CHAR(13) + City, + Region
FROM Employees
WHERE EmployeeID = 1

When I run it, it works fine. Can you use CHAR for a normal alphabetic character? CHAR(65) = A|||It didn't work on mine?? This is the actual code that I'm trying to run... I do appreciate your help.

SELECT a_psupp.comp_no, a_psupp.comp_name AS 'Supplier Code',

a_psupp.add1 + CHAR(13) + a_psupp.add2 + CHAR(13) +
a_psupp.add3 + CHAR(13) + a_psupp.add4 + CHAR(13) +
a_psupp.add5 AS 'Ordering Address',

a_psupp.tel AS 'Telephone Number',
a_psupp.fax AS 'Fax Number',
a_psupp.comm1+" "+a_psupp.comm2 AS 'Supplier Notes'

FROM a_psupp a_psupp

ORDER BY a_psupp.comp_no

When this runs i get the error Can't Find Char.PRG

Thanks|||This is straight out of the BOL:
USE Northwind
SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName, + CHAR(13) + Address,
+ CHAR(13) + City, + Region
FROM Employees
WHERE EmployeeID = 1
if that's straight out of BOL, it has syntax errors!!!

it is followed by:Here is the result set:Nancy Davolio
507 - 20th Ave. E.
Apt. 2A
Seattle WANote: In this record, the data in the Address column also contains a control character.
that's gotta be the stupidest example i've seen in a long time

"WA" stored in the Region column? i don't have northwind, so i can't check

and where did the spacing come from?

tsk, where was basic QA when this was written...|||if that's straight out of BOL, it has syntax errors!!!

I thought the same, but I didn't want to doctor the BOL if I was going to quote it. It still does run, but I agree.

a_psupp.comm1+" "+a_psupp.comm2 AS 'Supplier Notes'

cfeltham, are those double quotes in your query? Replace them with single quotes and retry.|||The double quotes might be hosing things up. On a side note, you should check for NULL values when concatenating text strings, as the concatenation of a NULL value with a string value normally returns NULL (Unless you specifically change the CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL setting).

SELECT a_psupp.comp_no,
a_psupp.comp_name AS 'Supplier Code',
isnull(a_psupp.add1, '') + CHAR(13)
+ isnull(a_psupp.add2, '') + CHAR(13)
+ isnull(a_psupp.add3, '') + CHAR(13)
+ isnull(a_psupp.add4, '') + CHAR(13)
+ isnull(a_psupp.add5, '') AS 'Ordering Address',
a_psupp.tel AS 'Telephone Number',
a_psupp.fax AS 'Fax Number',
isnull(a_psupp.comm1 + ' ', '') + isnull(a_psupp.comm2, '') AS 'Supplier Notes'
FROM a_psupp
ORDER BY a_psupp.comp_no|||I thought the same, but I didn't want to doctor the BOL if I was going to quote it.sir/madam, i quite admire your standards

It still does run...

wtf? i don't believe it

omg, you are right, you can actually start an expression with a concatenation operator
create table concatstrings
( id smallint not null identity primary key
, foo varchar(9)
, bar varchar(9)
, qux carchar(9)
)

insert into timediffs ( foo,bar,qux ) values ( 'the','three','stooges' )
insert into timediffs ( foo,bar,qux ) values ( 'curly','larry','moe' )

select foo + ' ' + bar
, + CHAR(13) + qux
, + id
from concatstrings

the three
stooges 1
curly larry
moe 2|||sir/madam, i quite admire your standards

wtf? i don't believe it

omg, you are right, you can actually start an expression with a concatenation operator

sir will be fine, and thank you :) I'm just a humble programmer, not a DBA, so I didn't want to insert my foot in my mouth and point out the possible error if there was a reason for it that I was unaware. Stranger things have happened...

INSERT INTO Mouth (LeftFoot, RightFoot) VALUES (1,1)

:)|||way too freaky
fyi
try the ascii() function
it's the opposite of char()|||try the ascii() function
it's the opposite of char()So are you suggesting that he insert his ASCII into his mouth ?!?!

-PatP|||you betcha, sport.|||Eeewwww!

-PatP|||...and the checks in the mail...|||BAH DUH BANG...BAH DUH BOOM

This such an education thread. :)|||you are so right

the thing i learned is that you can start an expression with a concatenation operator

select + foo from bar|||What another undocumented "Feature"

SELECT LEN(+' '), LEN(+ CustomerId), LEN(CustomerId) FROM Orders|||They could even be consecutive:

SELECT LEN(+++++' '), LEN(+++++ CustomerId), LEN(CustomerId) FROM Orders

There's a bit of trivia!|||tee hee

this is fun

select ' ' as space5
, len(' ') lenspace5
, ' '+'.' as space5dot
, len(' '+'.') as lenspace5dot|||alright you!!!!

select Char(79)+
Char(75)+
Char(33)
+ ' ' +
Char(67)+
Char(117)+
Char(116)
+ ' ' +
Char(105)+
Char(116)
+ ' ' +
Char(79)+
Char(117)+
Char(116)+
Char(46) as 'Hey You Guys!'

Take That!!!

Jet ODBC Driver for Text files - Permissions Issue

Hi,
I have setup a linked server to a text file uing the MS Jet ODBC driver.
Users that are not sysadmins and local admins on the server that the file
resides get an Jet Initialize error message.
What are the permissions required for SQL Server users to gain access to
this file?
Thanks.
Arun,
What happens if you run OPENDATASOURCE (See Books Online) against that
provider for the non-admin user account in Query Analyzer? You could also
enable trace flag 7300.
In Query Analyzer you would type something like:
DBCC TRACEON(7300)
go
SELECT * FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',...
Please provide exact error message.
Regards,
James
