I am trying to execute the following SQL query using MS SQL Server Management Studio express.
Insert INTO SU_PRO_RE ( d_id, fis_year, last_dp, budget_amt) VALUES ( 'A','2011', 0, 205000.00);
Everything looks correct to me but every time i try to execute it it has the following:
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
(0 row(s) affected)
The tables as set as follows:
d_id = char(1) *PK*
fis_year = char(2) *PK*
last_dp = smallint
budget_amt = money
I'm not sure what i am doing incorrect but i'm sure i am just over looking something very obvious so any help would be great! :)
Thanks,
David
fis_year is defined as char(2) but you're trying to insert a 4 character value of '2011'.
Well, the field fis_year is defined as CHAR(2), and you are trying to insert a value that has 4 charachters long.

I have problem inserting values in my SQL server database on Azure, I am getting the following error:
Failed to execute query. Error: String or binary data would be truncated in table 'dummy_app.dbo.user_info', column 'uid'. Truncated value: 'u'.
The statement has been terminated.
I don't understand where I am wrong, I just created the server, and I am trying to experiment but cant fix this.
if not exists (select * from sysobjects where name='user_info' and xtype='U')
create table user_info (
uid varchar unique,
name varchar,
email varchar
)
go;
INSERT INTO dbo.user_info(uid, name, email) VALUES('uids', 'name', 'email') go;
Creating the table works fine, the only thing that doesn't work is the second command INSERT
I suspect that the reason is that you haven't defined a lenght for varchar and it defaults to 1 as length. Therefore your value gets truncated.
Set a varchar length to something like varchar(200) and you should be good to go.
This looks like the fact that the CREATE portion of your procedure for the table doesn't include a length of varchar, so you'd have to specify a length such as varchar(50) since the default is 1. Refer to the official MS docs in the link, in the remarks.

Also, here is the syntax for the CREATE TABLE in Azure which might be helpful as well.

Attempting to bulk insert into a table and I am getting the error:
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 31, column 4 (Birthday).
Below is the code I am trying to use to insert the data:
Bulk Insert Dzt.dbo.Player
From 'A:\New Folder\Seed_Files\Player.csv'
With
(
FieldTerminator=',',
RowTerminator='\n',
FirstRow=2
)
Here is the code I used when making the table:
Use Dzt
Create Table Player
(
Player_ID int,
FirstName varchar(255),
LastName varchar(255),
Birthday date,
Email varchar(255),
L_Flag varchar(255)
);
This is my first attempt at making a table and inserting data so I am thinking it is likely a datatype error for the Birthday field but I have been unable to find anything online that I am able to grasp my head on at this time. I have also tried use the datatype datetime instead of date but I received the same error.
I am using SSMS 2012 to create and insert the data onto a 2012 SQL Server.
Let me know if there is anything else I can provide that might help.
As you suspect it could be a date format error, I would suggest importing the csv into a table with Birthday column set to varchar type. Then use this query to filter the erroneous records.
select birthday from temptable where isdate(birthday) = 0
You could then correct those records and then insert them into your old table.
I am trying to add a auto_increment primary key with ZEROFILL with a max size of six.
So it outputs:
000001
000002 etc...
However I am really struggling to achieve this and cant find the answer. How do I set up this column type in SQL Server Management Studio?
Thanks
You cannot do this with an integer field in SQL Server (nor would I recommend it with a Varchar).
Let SQL Server store the field as an Identity, and then (assuming this is for display), format the data when you select it like such:
SELECT RIGHT('000000' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(6),ID), 6) FROM Table
What you're trying to achieve is not possible. Display formatting is done in a presentation layer and not in the database. You need to separate a value from the presentation of a value. The two values 1 and 000001 are the same.
If you want to return something formatted, then you would have to return the value as a string. Just cast it to a string, add a number of zeroes at beginning and then keep the leftmost n characters.
SELECT FORMAT(2, N'000000')
--OR
SELECT FORMAT(2, CAST(REPLICATE(0, 6) AS NVARCHAR(6)))
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/format-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15
By creating a function
CREATE FUNCTION MyZeroFill (
#N BIGINT,
#D SMALLINT
) RETURNS VARCHAR(50) AS
BEGIN
RETURN RIGHT('0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'+CAST
(#N AS VARCHAR),#D)
END
I have met some problem with the SQL server, this is the function I created:
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[testing1](#price int)
RETURNS #trackingItems1 TABLE (
item nvarchar NULL,
warehouse nvarchar NULL,
price int NULL
)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #trackingItems1(item, warehouse, price)
SELECT ta.item, ta.warehouse, ta.price
FROM stock ta
WHERE ta.price >= #price;
RETURN;
END;
When I write a query to use that function like the following it getting the error
String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated
How can I fix this problem?
select * from testing1(2)
This is the way I create the table
CREATE TABLE stock(item nvarchar(50) NULL,
warehouse nvarchar(50) NULL,
price int NULL);
When you define varchar etc without a length, the default is 1.
When n is not specified in a data definition or variable declaration statement, the default length is 1. When n is not specified with the CAST function, the default length is 30.
So, if you expect 400 bytes in the #trackingItems1 column from stock, use nvarchar(400).
Otherwise, you are trying to fit >1 character into nvarchar(1) = fail
As a comment, this is bad use of table value function too because it is "multi statement". It can be written like this and it will run better
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[testing1](#price int)
RETURNS
AS
SELECT ta.item, ta.warehouse, ta.price
FROM stock ta
WHERE ta.price >= #price;
Of course, you could just use a normal SELECT statement..
The maximal length of the target column is shorter than the value you try to insert.
Rightclick the table in SQL manager and go to 'Design' to visualize your table structure and column definitions.
Edit:
Try to set a length on your nvarchar inserts thats the same or shorter than whats defined in your table.
In my case, I was getting this error because my table had
varchar(50)
but I was injecting 67 character long string, which resulted in thi error. Changing it to
varchar(255)
fixed the problem.
Specify a size for the item and warehouse like in the [dbo].[testing1] FUNCTION
#trackingItems1 TABLE (
item nvarchar(25) NULL, -- 25 OR equal size of your item column
warehouse nvarchar(25) NULL, -- same as above
price int NULL
)
Since in MSSQL only saying only nvarchar is equal to nvarchar(1) hence the values of the column from the stock table are truncated
SQL Server 2016 SP2 CU6 and SQL Server 2017 CU12
introduced trace flag 460 in order to return the details of truncation warnings.
You can enable it at the query level or at the server level.
Query level
INSERT INTO dbo.TEST (ColumnTest)
VALUES (‘Test truncation warnings’)
OPTION (QUERYTRACEON 460);
GO
Server Level
DBCC TRACEON(460, -1);
GO
From SQL Server 2019 you can enable it at database level:
ALTER DATABASE SCOPED CONFIGURATION
SET VERBOSE_TRUNCATION_WARNINGS = ON;
The old output message is:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 30, Line 13
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
The new output message is:
Msg 2628, Level 16, State 1, Line 30
String or binary data would be truncated in table 'DbTest.dbo.TEST', column 'ColumnTest'. Truncated value: ‘Test truncation warnings‘'.
In a future SQL Server 2019 release, message 2628 will replace message 8152 by default.
Please suppose that in SQL Server 2005, if you launch the following query:
SELECT CHICKEN_CODE FROM ALL_CHICKENS WHERE MY_PARAMETER = 'N123123123';
you obtain:
31
as result.
Now, I would like to write a function that, given a value for MY_PARAMETER, yields the corresponding value of CHICKEN_CODE, found in the table ALL_CHICKENS.
I have written the following stored function in SQL Server 2005:
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[determines_chicken_code]
(
#input_parameter VARCHAR
)
RETURNS varchar
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #myresult varchar
SELECT #myresult = CHICKEN_CODE
FROM dbo.ALL_CHICKENS
WHERE MY_PARAMETER = #input_parameter
RETURN #myresult
END
But if I launch the following query:
SELECT DBO.determines_chicken_code('N123123123')
it yields:
NULL
Why?
Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation.
define the length of your varchar variables like this
varchar(100)
Without the 100 (or whatever length you choose) its lengh is 1 and the where clause will filter out the correct results.
Specify a length for your varchar (ex.: varchar(100)). Without length, varchar = 1 char.
As per other PS, You can store only one char in the #myresult because you have not specified any length, bcoz 1 char length is default for Varchar datatype.
Why we are getting NUll, not the first char:
If there are multiple records are filtered on basis of Where clause in ALL_CHICKENS table then the value of CHICKEN_CODE column is picked up from last row in ALL_CHICKENS table.
It seems that the last row has null value in CHICKEN_CODE column.
Specify a length for #input_parameter, #myresult as by default varchar lengh is 1.
