Junk charecter in SQL Server 2000 varchar

Hi all,
My application works with both SQL Server as well as Oracle.For SQL Server 2000 to create primary key in to one table i am using UuidCreate() function which returns unique key of length 32.But in case of SQL Server 2000, it some times accepts junk charecters. For Oracle database with this function i am not gettng any error,But SQL Server sometime accepts junk charecter.The data type used for that column is varchar.Can you please suggest me the root cause of it and solution for it.
Thanks in advance,
Anjela

Are you doing that in a SAP application or in a self written one? In the latter case this is the wrong forum...

  • Junk arabic details while transfer arabic data from sql server 2000 to orac

    We are facing problems to view arabic details in oracle which is transfered from sql server 2000 .
    In oracle database we are using charecterset is UTF8.
    NLS_CHARACTERSET :UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET:UTF8
    Sqlr server collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1256_CI_AS.
    we are using stored procedure for transfering data from sql server 2000 to oracle.
    And i am able to view some arbic details which is not transfered from sql server 2000.
    I thing some configuration i need to change in sql server.
    Can any one help me out from this issue?

    I know that this is not the correct forum to ask this question.
    If someone knows this issue please help me.
    We were using to import from another intermediate sqlserver and it was successfull.
    And more over i cannot change anything in oracle database which is live.
    The issue is we are using one intermediate sqlserver for transfering the data to oracle apart from main sqlserver.
    now we want to stop the intermediate and need to transfer from main sqlserver to oracle Db.
    i guess , i need to change some configuration in main sql server.
    Main sql server and intermediate have the same collation.
    Could you please help me out from this problem?

  • Exceptions thrown while importing tables from SQL Server 2000

    Hi all,
    <MyProblem:
    I cannot import the tables defined in my local SQL Server. An exception is thrown --oracle.jdeveloper.cm.ds.db.ValidationException: Columns of type varchar cannot have a size specified.
    />
    <What I have done:
    In Oracle JDev 10g, Created a new DB connection called "SQLServerConnection" to connect to the SQL Server and it works fine. I am able to see all tables by expanding the connection.
    During the creation of a new partner link named "DBAdapter", I use the adapter wizard to select DB Adapter and then select the "SQLServerConnection" DB connection I have created. I select Perform an Operation on a Table and then check Select. After I pressed OK button on the[i] Import Tables  dialog, a Error messege box emmerged indicating the Exception: Columns of type varchar cannot have a size specified.
    I try to change the data type of the columns of the tables to char, there is still similar exception (Columns of type char cannot have a size specified).
    />
    I got the stack trace from the prompt by using jdev.exe.

    Hi, ronen!
    Thank you.
    I followed the steps and the there were no exceptions then.
    However, new runtime error emerged.
    The BPEL PM Server cannot build Toplink Session. But I do not know why.
    The messeges from the "Start BPEL PM Server" console about this project (named "TryDB") is as following (DoSelect is the service name of the DB Adapter):

  • How to retrieve Min(startDate) and Max(endDate) for different groups of data? (sql server 2000)

    My sample dataset (below) contains 3 groups -- 'a', 'b', 'c'.  I need to retrieve the Min(startDate) and Max(EndDate) for each group so that the output looks something like this (date format not an issue):
    fk   minStart       maxEnd
    a    1/13/1985    12/31/2003
    b    2/14/1986    12/31/2003
    c    4/26/1987    12/31/2002
    What is the Tsql to perform this type of operation?  Note:  the actual data resides in a sql server 2000 DB.  If the Tsql is different between version 2000 and the later versions -- I would be grateful for both versions of the Tsql
    --I noticed that multiple lines of Insert values doesn't work in Sql Server 2000 -- this sample is in Sql Server 2008
    create table #tmp2(rowID int Identity(1,1), fk varchar(1), startDate datetime, endDate datetime)
    insert into #tmp2
    values
    ('a', '1/13/1985', '12/31/1999'),
    ('a', '3/17/1992', '12/31/1997'),
    ('a', '4/21/1987', '12/31/2003'),
    ('b', '2/14/1986', '12/31/2003'),
    ('b', '5/30/1993', '12/31/2001'),
    ('b', '6/15/1994', '12/31/2003'),
    ('b', '7/7/2001', '12/31/2003'),
    ('c', '4/26/1987', '12/31/1991'),
    ('c', '8/14/1992', '12/31/1998'),
    ('c', '9/10/1995', '12/31/2002'),
    ('c', '10/9/1996', '12/31/2000')

    It is unclear what you are trying to achieve, you said that it is SQL Server 2000 but provide a sample data with SQL Server 2008 syntax
    Is it possible to use UNION ALL for your queries to make its one 
    select * from
    select * from #tmp2 t1 where exists
    (select * from (select top 1 * from #tmp2 t2 where t2.fk = t1.fk order by t2.startdate) x where x.rowID = t1.rowID)
    UNION ALL
    select * from #tmp2 t1 where exists
    (select * from (select top 1 * from #tmp2 t2 where t2.fk = t1.fk order by t2.Enddate desc) x where x.rowID = t1.rowID)
     as  der order by fk

  • DTS Import of MDB in SQL Server 2000 Drops Memo Field Data

    I have used DTS in SQL Server 2000 to import an MDB filed (MS ACCESS) of a table.  When the table is imported the primary key is lost and the memo field data is completely gone. 
    I use the tranformation option in the DTS wizard to add the primary key and make sure the data type for the memo field is varchar and has a size of 8000.  I need that large size since I am storing lots of html code. 
    When I preview the data I see the html code that is supposed to get imported.  However, when I return all rows from the table in Enterprise Manager the field is empty.
    So I tried to manually copy the data from the MS Access Database into SQL Server.  Could not figure out if SQL Server has an interface like MS Access to simply copy data into a table.  So I linked to the tables from MS Access to the SQL Server table. 
    When I opened the linked table I see the data in the description field.  However, if I return the rows from within SQL Server no data is present.
    I have some ASP code trying to read the data in the SQL Server table.  However, nothing is returned and when I run the SQL Statement, nothing gets returned.  The SQL statement returns all rows.  All the other data is present but nothing in the description field. 
    What am I doing wrong?  Any suggestions anyone, please!
    TIA 

    It is important to know the version of MS Access. I will recomend you to use nvarchar datatype instead of varchar. May be the description field contain unicode characters.
    Refer this link to understand more on datatype mapping between access source and sql server destionation.

  • How to load decimal values into a file using bcp in SQL Server 2000?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to load data from a database table to a text file using bcp on SQL Server 2000. When I'm loading the decimal values, the values before the decimal are not being loaded into the file. How could I load the values before decimals?
    Here are the DDLs and DMLs of what I'm trying to run:
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Product_Sales](
    [Year_of_Sale] [smallint] NOT NULL,
    [Product_Type] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
    [Product_Group] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
    [Category_Type] [varchar](25) NOT NULL,
    [Category_Group] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
    [Product_Count] [bigint] NOT NULL,
    [Product_Amount] [decimal](19, 2) NOT NULL,
    [Category_Count] [bigint] NOT NULL,
    [Category_Amount] [decimal](19, 2) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_Product_Sales] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
    [Year_of_Sale] ASC,
    [Product_Type] ASC,
    [Product_Group] ASC,
    [Category_Type] ASC,
    [Category_Group] ASC
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
    INSERT INTO [Yearly_Sales].[dbo].[Product_Sales]
    VALUES(2010, 'Online', 'Web', 'Cameras', 'Electronics', 547, 0.00, 0, 0.00)
    EXEC [master].[dbo].[xp_cmdshell] 'bcp "SELECT * FROM [Yearly_Sales].[dbo].[Product_Sales]" queryout D:\Yearly_Sales\Product_Sales.dat -c -T -S'
    And the output I see in the file is:
    2010 Online Web Cameras Electronics 547 .00 0 .00
    The values before decimals are being truncated.
    Thanks,
    Bangaaram
    Known is a DROP, Unknown is an OCEAN.

    You can modify the decimal column(s) in the table to varchar type before export. But it does not look good.
    alter table [dbo].[Product_Sales]
    Alter column [Product_Amount] varchar(20)
    alter table [dbo].[Product_Sales]
    Alter column [Category_Amount] varchar(20)
    Does that make any sense?
    Known is a DROP, Unknown is an OCEAN.
    Basically you modify the decimal column to a varchar type before you run the bcp command for export. You can modify your source table or you can modify them on the fly. It is just a workaround.
    Modifying the source wouldn't be a good idea. Never do that if you can't get your desired output.
    Known is a DROP, Unknown is an OCEAN.

  • Storing and retrieving arabic in SQL Server 2000

    hello, i realize this problem has been posted lots before but i read in the forum and i couldn't find a solution to fix my problem
    i am developing a desktop application in java and sql server 2000, and i'm using JBuilder for writing my java codes
    here's the problem
    i can MANUALLY store arabic text in my database (directly in SQL Sever Query Analyzer) and can read it in arabic properly in SQL Server, but if i want to retrieve the arabic text in a query in JAVA, for example: select * from person i see weird characters (not question marks) but not the original arabic text
    and if i type arabic text in a java textfield and use the value entered in an sql query, for example:
    sqlQuery = "insert into person (fname) values ('" + jtfFName.getText() + "')";it is inserted in SQL Server as ?????s and when i retrieve the values from the table i also see it as ?????s
    even when i converted all the data types in the database to unicode data types (*nchar* instead of char and nvarchar instead of varchar) and modified the sql query to the following:
    sqlQuery = "insert into person (fname) values (N'" + jtfFName.getText() + "')";(N outside the single quotation mark since according to rules on msdn)
    it still didn't solve the problem
    please i need urgent help with this issue!

    problem was solved by setting the charSet encoding to "UTF-8" in the connection to sql server using the jdbc-odbc bridge

  • Using Unicode with MS-SQL-Server 2000

    Hello,
    i want to migrate my coldfusion application to support
    unicode. for that i read some articles here in the knowledge bas e
    and on the web. So i actually tested with:
    * correct use of cfcontent,cfprocessingdirective
    * storing source-files with UTF8 (BOM)
    * activating Unicode-handling for strings in
    datasource-settings of coldfusion admin
    * using nvarchar instead of varchar on mssql-server
    my firsts test displaying diffrent characters of different
    languages (chinese, japanese, arabic) look good. Tests storing and
    selecting example strings in that languages also look good.
    but now i read, that mssql stores unicode data with the UCS-2
    implementation and cannot handle UTF-8 directly. but my
    coldfusion-application will be converted to UTF-8.
    now my question: Do i have to do special handling storing and
    selecting the application data or does this the mssql jdbc driver
    for me. What about characters in some languages which use 3 Bytes
    in UTF8. How are they handled when MS-SQL-Server 2000 uses UCS-2
    (max 2 Bytes) instead?
    Many regards for your answers

    no need to worry, the db driver will handle that for you.
    just make sure your
    encoding is the same end-to-end.
    also a potential gotcha has just been exposed in unicode
    handling for sql server
    related to cfqueryparam under loads, you need to convert
    everything to "N"
    datatypes to avoid this. see jochem's blog:

  • SQL Server 2000 database GETDATE() default for field

    I have a SQL Server 2000 database where the createDate field
    has a default value of GETDATE() and the data type is datetime. It
    is inserting the date just fine, but I do not want to capture the
    time along with the date. I only want the date to be entered. How
    can I accomplish this? Thanks!

    IF you only wanted to store the date, then yes you would use
    that as the column default value.
    createDate datetime default convert(datetime,
    convert(varchar, getDate(), 102), 102)
    However, as paross1 cautioned be sure you understand you will
    only be capturing the date from now on. If you change your mind
    later, and decide you need both the created date and time, you will
    be seriously out of luck. A safer choice might be to keep the date
    and time, and use convert in your queries instead.

  • SQL Server 2000 "Yukon" architecture

    Hi,
    could you tell me whether Microsoft have achieved cluster technology with "Yukon" or not?
    As announced in article: Database Architecture: Federated vs. Clustered-An Oracle White Paper March2002, "...According to Michael Otey, Senior Technical Editor, SQL Server Magazine:�Technically, this setup isn�t a true clustered implementation. According to Microsoft, SQL Server won�t support true clustering until the post-SQL Server 2000 release, code named Yukon.�(Yukon is not expected to be shipped until well into 2003.) - But when I browse msdn, there is nothing on the architecture itself.
    I am doing my Master's thesis on 9iRAC, and I need this information to complete my research. I found several Oracle white papers talking about federated vs. clustered architecture. As said in Response to "Reality behind Real
    Application Clusters Marketing Messages"- An Oracle White Paper March, 2003"..when in truth Microsoft does not have a cluster database." Is this still the truth? Can somebody from ORACLE provide me with tips/links to complete this topic?
    I am also Oracle DBA, Oracle customer, registered on Metalink.
    Thank you for the support.

  • Store&read chinese characters in MS SQL server 2000 using Java

    Hi,
    I have a problem to store Chinese characters in MS SQL Server 2000, storing question marks(??????) instead of Chinese characters
    I am using JSF framework, SUN APPLICATION Server 9.1 , MS SQL Server 2000 server and Microsoft data source driver class (com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource) to connect db.
    I have one solution:
    IN JSP:
    <%@page contentType="text/html"%>
    <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    and
    In database column type should “nvarchar” in place of varchar
    while inserting or updating the same need to add ‘N’ prefix with the value like insert into client(Name, Id ….) values (N+)
    the above is working fine but the problem is here i have already defined database with 100s of tables I cant change database tables as well as queries
    Thanks,
    Sathi

    I don't know any betterer option, than to copy the database tabels redefining the Chinese data fields as nvarchar.
    To be frank I had also problems writing to a html file Chinese text stored in MS SQLServer 2000 nvarchar fields.
    The following worked:'
         public String getEncodedData(ResultSet resultSet, int columnIndex, String charset)
         throws SQLException
              //final String methodName = "getEncodedData";
              InputStream binaryStream =resultSet.getBinaryStream(columnIndex);
              String readStringFromStream=readStringFromStream(binaryStream, charset);//UTF_16LE);
              return readStringFromStream;
         public String readStringFromStream(InputStream inputStream, String charset) {
              final String methodName = "readStringFromStream";
              StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
              try {
                   int ch;
                   InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(inputStream, charset);
                   Reader in = new BufferedReader(isr);
                   while ((ch = in.read()) > -1) {
                        buffer.append((char)ch);
                   in.close();
                   return buffer.toString();
              } catch (IOException exception) {
                   Log.printError(this,methodName, exception);
                   return null;
         }And writing it to file:
         public void writeEncodedStringToFile(String text, String filePath, String charset, boolean append){
              final String methodName = "writeEncodedStringToFile";
              OutputStreamWriter writer= null;
              try {

  • Migrating Japanese Characters from MS SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 9i usng Jsp

    Hi ,
    I have a situation where the Japanese characters are to be migrated from MS SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 91 and then render the same using JSP.
    I followed the below approach,
    1. Extract the Japanese data from MS SQL Server and generate an XML
    2. Parse the XML and store it into Oracle 9i database which is of UTF-8 encoding.
    3. On retreiving and rendering using the Shift-JIS adds few junk characters additionally.
    When I try to copy paste the Japanese contents from XML to a text file, it is working fine.
    Could some one help me in resolving this issue?
    It is very urgent, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There is documentation in the reference guide sent with the workbench, there is this discussion forum, the support web page (which includes tech notes and FAQ's), and the company specific procedural language documentation.
    There is also an older document for use with the old sybase toolkits which may be obscelete, and there are some internal documents which were for internal consumption.

    I've checked several SAP Notes on this subject and none of them explains how to create this store procedure from scratch, they all just assume it's already there and tell you to execute it.
    Thank you.
