Can't seem to edit my old post but I am trying to execute this SQL script
UPDATE Promotions
set Description = '£5 Off £25 Spend',
UsageText = '£5 Off £25 Spend',
EmailText = '£5 Off £25 Spend',
PromotionRuleData= '<ArrayOfPromotionRuleBase xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><PromotionRuleBase xsi:type="StartDatePromotionRule"><StartDate>2013-11-18T00:00:00</StartDate></PromotionRuleBase><PromotionRuleBase xsi:type="ExpirationDatePromotionRule"><ExpirationDate>2014-01-13T00:00:00</ExpirationDate></PromotionRuleBase><PromotionRuleBase xsi:type="ExpirationNumberOfUsesPerCustomerPromotionRule"><NumberOfUsesAllowed>1</NumberOfUsesAllowed> </PromotionRuleBase><PromotionRuleBase xsi:type="MinimumCartAmountPromotionRule"><CartAmount>24.99</CartAmount></PromotionRuleBase></ArrayOfPromotionRuleBase>',
PromotionDiscountData = '<ArrayOfPromotionDiscountBase xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><PromotionDiscountBase xsi:type="OrderPromotionDiscount"><DiscountType>Fixed</DiscountType><DiscountAmount>5.00</DiscountAmount></PromotionDiscountBase></ArrayOfPromotionDiscountBase>'
where Name = 'test1,test2,etc...'
It comes back with this error
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The data types varchar and text are incompatible in the equal to operator.
I try to use where CAST(PromotionRuleData as NVARCHAR(MAX))
So the line reads as
CAST(PromotionRuleData as NVARCHAR(MAX)) = '<ArrayOfPromotionRuleBase ...
but no luck.
You cannot compare a string literal against a text column in SQL Server.
Which column is of datatype text ? Your name column that you use in the WHERE clause by any chance?
If so, use this WHERE instead:
WHERE CAST(Name AS VARCHAR(MAX)) = 'test1,test2,etc...'
or better yet: convert your column to a more appropriate datatype like VARCHAR(n) (unless you really need 2 GB = 2 billion characters - if so, then use VARCHAR(MAX))

I have a table. There is data in this table and there is a checkbox next to each data. Multiple selection is possible. After the user makes a selection, the id numbers of the selected columns are come in the array. I convert the array to string and send it to the stored procedure and I run the following stored procedure:
Example value for #ResultsIds: 65, 66, 67, 68, 125
#ResultsIds nvarchar(250)
UPDATE MyTable SET [IsVerified] = 1 WHERE Id IN (#ResultsIds)
And I got this error:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '65, 66, 67, 68, 125' to data type int. Because [Id] column is int data type.
I tried CAST and CONVERT functions of SQL but it didn't work.
SQL Server doesn't do that automatically. Assuming you're on a recent version, you can do this:
declare #ResultsIds nvarchar(250) = '65,66,67,68,125'
UPDATE MyTable
SET [IsVerified] = 1
WHERE Id IN (
select [value]
from string_split(#ResultIDs, ',')
)
declare #ResultsIds nvarchar(250)='65,66,67,68,125'
UPDATE MyTable SET [IsVerified] = 1 WHERE cast(Id as varchar) IN (#ResultsIds)
I solved problem using foreach. I separated the numbers in the string from commas and transferred each number to the array. Then I updated the array one by one by running foreach loop.
public void Verify(DB db, string rows)
{
int[] nums = Array.ConvertAll(rows.Split(','), int.Parse);
foreach (int value in nums)
{
DbCommand cmd = db.GetStoredProcCommand("VerifyProcess");
db.AddInParameter(cmd, "#ResultId", DbType.Int32, value);
db.ExecuteNonQuery(cmd);
}
}
I am following XML based transport of data using FOR XML AUTO. When a column containing control character was encountered and a XML transform as below was attempted, it resulted in an exception:
DECLARE #TrialData NVARCHAR(200) = ''; --Not empty string..contains a control character '<-'
DECLARE #TrialDataInHex VARBINARY(100)
SET #TrialDataInHex = CONVERT(VARBINARY(100),#TrialData)
SELECT #TrialDataInHex; -- returns 0x1B00 looks like this '<-'
Now, when I try to insert the same into XML variable like below
DECLARE #a_XML XML;
SET #a_XML = #TrialData;
This resulted in
XML parsing: line 0, character 0, unrecognized input signature
Can Anyone suggest how control characters are usually handled when XML FROM SQL data medium is used?
You have to wrap that value in an XML element:
XMLELEMENT("TrialData" , #TrialData)
generates
<TrialData>←</TrialData>
I have an MS-SQL table, with a column titled 'ImportCount'.
Data in this column follows the below format:
ImportCount
[Schedules] 1376 schedule items imported from location H:\FOLDERA\AA\XX...
[Schedules] 10201 schedule items imported from location H:\FOLDERZZ\PERS\YY...
[Schedules] 999 schedule items imported from location R:\PERS\FOLDERA\AA\XX...
[Schedules] 21 schedule items imported from location H:\FOLDERA\MM\2014ZZ...
What I would like to do is extract that numerical portion of the data (which varies in length), but am struggling to get the right result. Would appreciate any help on this!
Thanks.
Try
select left(ImportCount, patindex('%[^0-9]%', ImportCount+'.') - 1)
select SUBSTRING(ImportCount,13,patindex('% schedule items%',ImportCount)-13) from table name
Try this..You can declare it as a SQL function also.
DECLARE #intText INT
DECLARE #textAplhaNumeric varchar(100)
set #textAplhaNumeric = '1376 schedule items imported from location'
SET #intText = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', #textAplhaNumeric)
BEGIN
WHILE #intText > 0
BEGIN
SET #textAplhaNumeric = STUFF(#textAplhaNumeric, #intText, 1, '' )
SET #intText = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', #textAplhaNumeric)
END
END
Select #textAplhaNumeric //output is 1376
It will work in case of NULL or empty values.
Please try:
SELECT LEFT(Val,PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', Val+'a')-1) from(
SELECT
STUFF(ImportCount, 1, PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', ImportCount)-1, '') Val
FROM YourTable
)x
I am updating an XML column with values from columns in a temp table. I can update the table as below.
UPDATE tbWorkflow
SET xmlData.modify('insert
(<FromQueueName>
<CustomerID>{ sql:column("T.iVTollCustID") }</CustomerID>
<Date>{ sql:variable("#CurrDateTime") }</Date>
</FromQueueName>)
as first into (/configuration)[1]'),
vcQueue = 'qVtoll',
dtUpdTime = GETDATE()
FROM #Trxns T
WHERE T.biWorkflowID = tbWorkflow.biWorkflowID
However, I want the node name to be dynamic (from the temp table) like below. But it does not work.
UPDATE tbWorkflow
SET xmlData.modify('insert
(<**{ sql:column("T.vcQueue") }**>
<CustomerID>{ sql:column("T.iVTollCustID") }</CustomerID>
<Date>{ sql:variable("#CurrDateTime") }</Date>
</**{ sql:column("T.vcQueue") }**>)
as first into (/configuration)[1]'),
vcQueue = 'qVtoll',
dtUpdTime = GETDATE()
FROM #Trxns T
WHERE T.biWorkflowID = tbWorkflow.biWorkflowID
Any help is appreciated.
I think, you should use a subquery to select a string you need and then insert it into XML.
For example, in subquery get a <YourTag><CustomerID>123</CustomerID><Date>15.10.2012</Date></YourTag> and then you can simply insert it in XML
I found a workaround to do this.
I added another VARCHAR column to my temp table, created the xml node as a varchar and later modified my actual xml column using this varchar column.
UPDATE #Trxns
SET xmlVarchar = '<' + vcQueue + '>
<CustomerID>' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),iVTollCustID) + '</CustomerID>
<Date>' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(25), GETDATE(),22) + '</Date>' +
'</' + vcQueue + '>'
UPDATE tbWorkflow
SET xmlData.modify('insert
sql:column("xmlVarchar")
as first into (/configuration)[1]'),
vcQueue = 'qVtoll',
dtUpdTime = GETDATE()
FROM #Trxns T
WHERE T.biWorkflowID = tbWorkflow.biWorkflowID

but getting this error
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The data types xml and varchar are incompatible in the equal to operator.
any idea how to fix this?
Basically within each cell I am trying to change the StartDate only
I suppose the type of PromotionDiscountData column is XML, so that's why I suggest you to use the following code snippet:
update Promotions
set PromotionDiscountData = '<ArrayOfPromotionRuleBase ...'
where CAST(PromotionDiscountData as NVARCHAR(MAX)) = '<ArrayOfPromotionRuleBase...'
