How to replace content in text data type?

How to replace content in text data type?
when we sending the mails we are taking content from the database.
The data is maintained in text data type column. Now i have to replace some of content in mail content
(text data type column) from database.
I tried by using REPLACE function but data is truncated

The data is maintained in text data type column.
Hello,
See REPLACE (Transact-SQL) => "If
string_expression is not of type varchar(max) or
nvarchar(max), REPLACE
truncates the return value at 8,000 Bytes"
You may should consider to Change the data type from "Text" (deprecated) to NVarChar(max).
Otherwise you have to use
UPDATETEXT (Transact-SQL) for the text data type.

How to have a member formula to reference a text data type member?

Hi there
I am just wondering how do you use a member formula to grab the text in a text data type member?
Our situation is that we have a text data type member in the Accounts dimension (called Project Manager). This is a free text field users can input a project manager's name. However, for our reporting purposes we want to report the Project Manager next to a list of Accounts (i.e. in the same row). The way we have tried to achieve this is to create dynamic calc text data type members in the Version dimension that simply refer to the Project Manager account using the reference function (->).
Although this works, when we run a report we get a number (assuming this is just the reference ID to the RDBMS field) instead of the actual name. We have set the dynamic calc member to text data type as well. We are using a planning connection as well.
Does anyone know how to make this work?
Thanks

Are you talking about FR reports, does it display the text if you reference the original member using a planning connection, if it does then it probably looks like you can't do it using the method you are trying as it is an essbase formula and in theory it will just return a number.

New Effective CAL essay: How do I create an abstract data type in CAL?

How do I create an abstract data type in CAL? An abstract data type is one whose internal representation can be changed without needing to modify the source code of client modules that make use of that type. For software maintainability, it is a good idea to make a type that is subject to change or enhancement into an abstract data type. Another reason to create an abstract data type is to enforce invariants for values of the type that can only be ensured by using constructor functions (i.e. functions that return values of that type). In principle it is simple to create an abstract data type in CAL. For an algebraic data type, make the type constructor public and all data constructors private. For a foreign data type, make the type constructor public and the implementation scope private. If a scope qualifier is omitted, the scope is taken to be private. For example, the Map algebraic data type has the public type constructor Map and the data constructors Tip and Bin are each private, so it is an abstract data type. /** A map from keys (of type {@code k@}) to values (of type {@code a@}). */ data public Map k a = private Tip | private Bin size :: !Int key :: !k value :: a leftMap :: !(Map k a) rightMap :: !(Map k a); There are a number of invariants of this type: the size field represents the number of elements in the map represented by its Bin value. The keys in leftMap are all less than key, which in turn is less than all the keys in rightMap. In particular, non-empty Map values can only be created if the key parameter type is a member of the Ord type class. Values of the Map type can be created outside the Cal.Collections.Map module only by using constructor functions such as insert: insert :: Ord k => k -> a -> Map k a -> Map k a; public insert !key value !map = ... The owner of the Cal.Collections.Map module must ensure that all invariants of the Map type are satisfied, but if this is done, then it will automatically hold for clients using this function. Some examples of foreign abstract data types are Color, StringNoCase and RelativeDate: data foreign unsafe import jvm private "java.awt.Color" public Color; data foreign unsafe import jvm private "java.lang.String" public StringNoCase; data foreign unsafe import jvm private "int" public RelativeDate; The private implementation scope for Color means that a foreign function whose type involves Color can only be declared in the Cal.Graphics.Color module where the Color type is defined. A foreign function declaration involving the Color type relies on the compiler knowing that the Color type corresponds to java.awt.Color to resolve the corresponding Java entity i.e. it must know about the implementation of the Color type. Having a private implementation scope means that the Color type can be changed to correspond to a different Java class, or indeed to be an algebraic type, without the risk of breaking client code. In all these three cases there are useful, and different, design reasons to adopt a private implementation scope: For RelativeDate, the Java implementation type int represents a coded Gregorian date value in the date scheme used by Crystal Reports. Not all int values correspond to valid dates, and the algorithm to map an int to a year/month/day equivalent is fairly complicated, taking into account things like Gregorian calendar reform. Thus, it is desirable to hide the implementation of this type. For StringNoCase, the implementation is more straightforward as a java.lang.String. The reason to adopt a private implementation scope is to ensure that all functions involving StringNoCase preserve the semantics of StringNoCase as representing a case-insensitive string value. Otherwise it is very easy for clients to declare a function such as: foreign unsafe import jvm "method replace" replaceChar :: StringNoCase -> Char -> Char -> StringNoCase; which does not handle case-insensitivity correctly, but is a perfectly valid declaration. This declaration results in a compilation error when it is placed outside the module in which StringNoCase is defined because of the private implementation scope of StringNoCase. For Color, the issue is somewhat more subtle. The java.awt.Color implementation type is semantically the same as the CAL Color type. The problem is that java.awt.Color is mutable (since it can be sub-classed to create a mutable type). It is preferable for a first-class CAL type to not be mutable, so we simply make the implementation scope private to ensure that this will be the case. A somewhat less encapsulated kind of abstract data type can be created using friend modules and protected scope. For example, if an algebraic type is public, and all its data constructors are protected, then the data constructors can be accessed in the friend modules of the module in which the type is defined. Effectively this means that the implementation of the semantics of the type stretches over the module in which the type is defined, and all of its friend modules. These must all be checked if the implementation of the type is modified. Given the merits of abstract data types discussed above, it is perhaps surprising that most of the core types defined in the Prelude module are not abstract data types. For example: Boolean, Char, Int, Double, String, List, Maybe, Either, Ordering, JObject, JList, and all record and tuple types are non-abstract types. There are different reasons for this, depending on the particular type involved. For example, Boolean, List, Maybe, Either and Ordering are all rather canonical algebraic data types with a long history in functional languages, with many standard functions using them. They are thus guaranteed never to change. In addition, their values have no particular design invariants that need to be enforced via constructor functions. Exposing the data constructors gives clients some additional syntactic flexibility in using values of the type. For example, they can pattern match on the values using case expressions or let patterns. Essentially the same explanation holds for record and tuple types. Although non-tuple record types are less canonical, they do correspond to the fundamental notion of an anonymous named-field product type. The "anonymous" here simply means that the programmer can create an entirely new record type simply by creating a value; the type does not have to be declared anywhere prior to use. Char, Int, Double, String, JObject and JList are foreign types where in fact part of the semantics of the type is that we want clients to know that the type is a foreign type. For example, we want clients to know that Prelude.Int is essentially the Java primitive unboxed int type, and has all the semantics you would expect of the Java int type i.e. this is quite different from RelativeDate which is using int as its implementation type in a very tactical way that we may choose to change. One can think of a public foreign type declaration with public implementation scope as simply introducing the Java type into the CAL namespace. One interesting point here is with CAL's naming convention for public foreign types. We prefix a type name by "J" (for "Java") for foreign types with public implementation type such that the underlying Java type is mutable. This is intended as mnemonic that the type is not a pure functional type and thus some caution needs to be taken when using it. For example, Prelude.JObject has public Java implementation type java.lang.Object. In the case where the underlying Java type is not mutable, we do not use the prefix, since even though the type is foreign; it is basically a first class functional type and can be freely used without concern. For example, Prelude.String has public Java implementation type java.lang.String. In the case where the implementation type is private, then the fact that the type is a foreign type, whether mutable or not, is an implementation detail and we do not hint at that detail via the name. Thus Color.Color has as its private Java implementation type the mutable Java type java.awt.Color. When creating abstract data types it is important to not inadvertently supply public API functions that conflict with the desired public semantics of the type. For example, if the type is publicly a pure-functional (i.e. immutable) type such as Color, it is important not to expose functions that mutate the internal Java representation. A more subtle case of inadvertently exposing the implementation of a type can occur with derived instances. For example, deriving the Prelude.Outputable and Prelude.Inputable type classes on a foreign type, whose implementation type is a mutable Java reference type, allows the client to gain access to the underlying Java value and mutate it
(by calling Prelude.output, mutating, and then calling Prelude.input). The solution in this case is to not derive Inputable and Outputable instances, but rather to define a custom Inputable and Outputable instance that copies the underlying values.

PLEASE HELP!!! Problem with Java and SQLServer Text data type

Hi there,
I have a java app. that reads from an MS SQLServer database. Originally, all long text fields were declared as NVARCHAR(200). The program worked fine.
Someone then advised that I change all long text fields to the TEXT data type. The program now crashes out with the following Exception:
"java.sql.SQLException: [JRun][SQLServer JDBC Driver]This ResultSet can not re-read row data for column 25."
Basically, I have a method that retrieves a resulset and iterates through it. The resultset is passed to another method during each iteration. In the example below, the 'specialNote' field used to be NVARCHAR(200). The code worked fine. Then when it was changed to TEXT, the program no longer works with the above Exception thrown.
Anyone know any special way SQLServer TEXT data types need to be handled?
Thanks for any advice!
The code looks something like this in functionality:
<CODE>
public void method1 (Connection conn)
Resultset rs = conn.createStatement().executeQuery("SELECT * FROM ProductBB");
while (rs.next())
method2(rs);
public void method2 (ResultSet rs)
String str = rs.getString("specialNote");
</CODE>

Hi JWoods,
Thanks for the suggestion. I originally had the code do what you suggested, ie, get the resultset then retrieve the data all within the same method. The data is then used to set properties in an object.
When I had to create another method that also retrieved a resultset but using a different primary key, then also use the returned data to set the properties in the same type of object, I didn't want to repeat the setter code. That's why I decided to pass the resultsets to the same method that did the property setting.
Unfortunately, it stopped working with the data type change.
Any other thoughts?

Using Calc Manager to update values for Members with Text Data Type

Hi All,
In my outline I have a member of text data type. The purpose is to allow users to be able to enter comments.
Each line item is created through a business rule and I am prompting the user to enter the key values at the launch of the calc manager rules. I want to be able to prompt the user for the comments in the calc manager rule because I know that it supports variables of type string. However I am unable to assign this string variable directly to the member.
I appreciate that essbase only stores numeric data and that all text data type members really store numeric values which are basically the id's of the text string stored in a relational table by planning. however I cannot update the database table through calc manager and then bring in the generated id. Is there any way I can do this?
I don't want to skip this field in the calc manager rule and expect the user to enter the comments AFTER the line item has been created because the users want this to be a mandatory field and insist that a new line item not be created unless comments are specified.
Many thanks in advance for any help I can get.
Shehzad

If the comments are a set definition you could you smart lists in your planning forms.
create this in your smart list
xxxx = 1
yyyy = 2

Importing an SQL Server TEXT data type field in Oracle - problem with LONG

Hello,
I work in Oracle 9i and I created a view on a distant SQL Server database that contains a TEXT data type field. But I have a problem when I select that field in Oracle; I have the following error message: "ORA-00997: forbidden use of LONG data type".
Could anybody have a solution for me, to solve that problem?
Thanks a lot!

It is very difficult to suggest anything without seeing your code. I don't even know if what you are seeing is the actual value or an error code. Often, negative numbers are indicative of error codes.
For instance -1 could mean that you have an invalid reference or path, etc...
Can you post your code?

How to set default value to date type attribute.

Hi,
How to set default value to date type attribute.
E.g I want to set u201C01/01/1999u201D to date attributes.
First i want to set value and then i want to fetch the same & want to check equals.
please suggest solution.
Regards,
Smita

Hi,
In wdinit() method u can set the date
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
String reportDate = df.format(today);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(reportDate);
Another way you have set the this formate like that
1. Create a Simple type under "Dictionaries->SimpleType" called DateFormat
2. Select the type as "date"
3. Go to the "Representation" tab and set the format as "dd/MM/yyyy" (or whatever u want, but month should be MM)
4.Bind the context attribute to the type created now.
Hope this helps u.
Best Regards

However I am extending a system which stores dynamic SQL within an MDM column to facilitate a generic extract and load process. I am sure you are already aware in this type of scenario the business rules behind a piece of dynamic SQL defining a generic
extract process could easily exceed 4000 characters.

Hyperion Planning:Text Data Type does not take text

Hi,
I am working on a asset addition form, and we have a member set up in a dimension that captures details, which takes the Description of the Asset.
We set this up as a text data type, but when we try entering even a single character, it does not accept it.
Can anyone clarify if this is possible?
THanks,
ANindyo

Hi John,
Thanks for replying.
Can you also tell me whether there is a logic or suite I should follow in positioning the dimension marked with a test data type member, or setting its evaluation order?
Thanks Again,

How to create longtext or blob data types in SQL using labview

Hello,
I am fairly new to SQL, and I'm using the labview database connectivity toolset. Using labview 6.1
I am using the DB Tools Create Table vi to create my tables. I want the tables to hold 1000 character strings. But the longest string that I can insert seem to be 255 characters. I think It is a limitation of the "String" data type in SQL so I need to use text or blob types. The problem is I created a control for the "Column Information" field and I see the following selections for the data type. (String, Long, Single, Double, date/time, binary). I dont see any selection for text or blobs. How do I define another data type that is not part of the selection in the control?
Thanks for any help.

I don't know about defining long text, but the equivalent of a BLOB should be the binary data type, which just holds the data you put into it without formatting it.
Try to take over the world!

How can I retrieve a LONG data type using ADO

In VB I am using an ADODB object to retrieve data from an Oracle table that has a LONG data type column...
specifically: SELECT TRIGGER_BODY FROM USER_TRIGGERS WHERE TRIGGER_NAME = 'MYTRIGGER'
I have tried using the GETCHUNK method but it only returns the first 150 or so characters no matter how
many times I call it???? here is the sample code I'm using........
Dim Cn As ADODB.Connection, Rs As ADODB.Recordset, SQL As String
Dim sChunk() As Byte
Set Cn = New ADODB.Connection
Set Rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Cn.CursorLocation = adUseServer
Cn.Open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;Password=hrzadmin;Persist Security
Info=True;UserID=hadmin;Data Source=xxx.local"
SQL = "SELECT trigger_body from user_triggers where trigger_name = 'MYTRIGGER'"
Rs.Open SQL, Cn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
Debug.Print Rs!trigger_name
Debug.Print Rs!trigger_body
sChunk = rs.Fields("trigger_body").GetChunk(500)
Debug.Print sChunk

I have a similar code which works for chunk size >400,
The image I am trying to retrieve is huge so the chunksize is also more.
Did you try with any non meta table?
For your reference I am pasting my application code below.
