I am writing a procedure with a simple insert statement. It will take #Target as parameter of type nvarchar(200) and this parameter will be inserted to table.
My problem is how to insert Japanese character if parameter is receiving values like this - 'ンプライ'
INSERT INTO [TableName] (Target) VALUES (#Target)
using MS SQL Server 2008
Try
insert into target (Target) values(N 'ンプライ')
Make sure your target datatype is Nvarchar
insert into TableName (Target) values (N 'ンプライ')

I facing a weird issue in SQL. Im trying to save these characters ❷❶❸ into SQL. But its storing as Question Marks (?). The field is nVarchar.
This is my update query
update mytable set keywords='key1❶,key2❶,key3❶,key4❶' where id=50543
The column should be created as
CREATE TABLE mytable (columnname NVARCHAR(40) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1253_CI_AI)
Then when insert use prefix Unicode character string
INSERT INTO mytable (columnname) VALUES (N'❷❶❸')
I have a problem when I try to insert arabic text as sql variable in sql server 2008 , inserts data like this value ???? .How to solve this?
This is my query
insert into tests values(N''+#name)
The result shows like this:
Try this and you will see what Data Type you shoule use :
DECLARE #V1 VARCHAR(50) = 'فيلم';
DECLARE #V2 NVARCHAR(50) = N'فيلم'
SELECT #V1 Varchar_Col, #V2 NVarchar_Col
Demo
Update:
Try to use SqlDbType.NVarChar when you pass your Parameter.
and you can also try with :
INSERT INTO tests (ID_Number) VALUES (#name)
Use unicode datatypes for your data storage and begin your strings with N literal like this:
declare #t table(col Nvarchar(100));
insert #t (col) values (N'your text');
Or use the appropriate COLLATION with non-unicode data types but pass your values as unicode ones (with N) because your server/database collation seems to be different from arabic
I wish to insert into an SQL table in a field whose data type is text. However I am informed of an error saying ' check datatype' my Name field is of type nvarchar and my job field is of type text.
INSERT INTO Table1 (Name, Job) VALUES ('John', 'Clerk')
In MS SQL Server, you wont be able to insert string values(with more than 1 characters) in table if the column of type nvarchar. You can only insert only one character using nvarchar.
If you wish to insert some text, please specify the some size with nvarchar.
For example in your case:
Create table Table1(Name nvarchar(5), Job Text)
Insert into Table1(Name, Job) values ('John','Clerk')
This will work.
Hope it will help you out.
I am working on an application that populates values from sql Database in a format two numeric and alpha character e.g 11G,34H. There is no validation or check for the same.I want to put put checkpoint/validation from Database end.Is it possible to implement via SQL procedure or anything.Can anyone help me with the code.
Try the below query
DECLARE #strtable TABLE (column1 VARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #strtable
VALUES ('11H'),('sda'),('175HH'),('1H1'),('282')
INSERT INTO YourTable (Column1)
SELECT Column1
FROM #strtable
WHERE LEN(column1)=3
AND ISNUMERIC(LEFT(column1,2))=1
AND ISNUMERIC(RIGHT(column1,1))!=1
--Output : 11H
A SAMPLE table has only one column ID of type int, default null.
In Oracle when I do:
insert into SAMPLE (ID) values ('');
the new record is added with blank value. But in SQL Server 2008, when I run the same insert statement, the new record has the value of 0.
Is there a way to force SQL Server 2008 to default blank string to NULL instead of 0 (for numerical type of columns)?
Assuming that your INSERT statement is part of a stored procedure re-used in many places of your application (or, perhaps, is a batch always constructed by the same part of the client code) and that the inserted value is a number passed as a string argument, you could modify the INSERT like this:
INSERT INTO SAMPLE (ID) VALUES (NULLIF(#argument, ''));
Use NULL instead.
insert into SAMPLE (ID) values (NULL);
How about another idea - define an INSTEAD OF INSERT Trigger.
Despite the fact that you're trying to insert a string, with this the operation is "intercepted", empty string is replaced by NULL, and the insert succeeds.
If you define this trigger on your table, then you can continue to insert empty string as before, with no other changes.
Edit: As Martin Smith points out, this effectively is a comparison to 0 (the equivalent of empty string as an int) meaning you won't be able to store 0 in this table. I leave this answer here in case that's acceptable to your situation - either that or re-do all your queries!
CREATE TRIGGER EmptyStringTrigger
ON [SAMPLE]
INSTEAD OF INSERT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO [SAMPLE](ID)
SELECT CASE
WHEN ID = '' THEN NULL
ELSE ID
END
FROM inserted
END

You can't insert a 'string' into a int column. Oracle must be just handling that for you.
Just try inserting NULL if that's what you need.
insert into SAMPLE (ID) values (NULL);
One more option
insert into SAMPLE (ID) values (DEFAULT)
