plz help me

I am developing a .net application and as part of this, i have a stored procedure that gets me the data with required format. This stored procedure has dynamic sql in it where the formatting of the data takes place.

Below is the query that i am using to format any data based on its column datatype. This query just does the following, I have used master DB for this example,

1. @query variable is formed with a sql query where this query has a case statement in which column name is passed to scalar function(udfSelDataTypeOfColumn) and datatype is got from it.
2. If this datatype is of CHAR or NCHAR or NVARCHAR or VARCHAR then i want the output of the column value enclosed in a single quote.
Suppose, the output value is a varchar with value as Pinal then this query has to return ‘Pinal’ else for other datatypes same value can be returned like (int)1234, (bit)1
I tried formatting with single quotes and concatinating but no luck.

Please let me know a solution to this problem and explain me how single quotes intepretation is done by sql runtime.

USE master

DECLARE @query NVARCHAR(MAX),
@charDataType NVARCHAR(20)

SELECT @charDataType=”’%char%”’
select @query=’SELECT TOP 10
CASE WHEN dbo.udfSelDataTypeOfColumn(”name”) like ‘+@charDataType+ ‘then ”” +name+ ”” else ”name” end
FROM spt_values WITH(NOLOCK)’
EXEC sp_executesql @query

IF @Type = ‘AN’
BEGIN
SELECT AccountNo, BusinessName FROM CustomerDetails WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE AccountNo like @AccountNo + ‘%’
END
ELSE IF @Type = ‘BN’
BEGIN
SELECT AccountNo, BusinessName FROM CustomerDetails WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE BusinessName like @str + ‘%’

END
END
if the value is Andersons The Grocery Store .in this I did not get any problem. But, ‘Anderson’s “The Grocery Store”‘ I am getting error like Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ‘). Can you please help out me by giving proper code (how to replace two single quotes in place of one single quote).
plz helpme any modify my SP

for example
where col2 is know to contain embedded single and double quotes
Select col1, col2 from table_Name;

I hope here I am going to get my answer.

The code is working from SQL Server 2000 to 2008.
However the application is crash in 2008R2.

Here is the code:

CREATE TABLE abc (
col1 varchar (7000) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (col1))

INSERT INTO abc ( col1 )
VALUES( ‘a’ ) // Different Values in a loop

Check the SQLDB CODE If It is Duplicate Then
Do Some Calculation
ELSE
Loop

In 2008R2 as soon as it finds a duplicate it crashed.

drop table dirresults
CREATE TABLE DirResults (Diroutput VARCHAR(500))
INSERT DirResults
exec master..xp_cmdshell ‘osql -S127.0.0.1,1450 -T -Q “exec sp_executesql N”select * from pubs..authors where state = ”a”””‘

I had similar problem like yours. Just repeating code from above
Just add the following to your T-SQL

Declare @find nvarchar(5)
Declare @replace nvarchar(5)
Declare @notes –this is the variable used in your update statement

Set @find = ”+ char(39) +” — these are two single quotes
Set @replace = ”+char(39)+char(39)+”
Set @notes = replace(@notes,@find,@replace) –this will replace one single quote with two double quote.

This will be helpful in statement such as Update tbl_name set = ‘%+@notes+%’
where

I hope this helps.

I have a new variation on this problem. I have a varchar() field called Notes where users can enter anything they want. If they use a single quote for a grammatical contraction, then it causes an error when I try to pass the string in an UPDATE statement. So, for intance:

New account, didn’t ask for conversion.

causes an “Unclosed quotation mark after the character string” error.

I noticed that when I BULK imported the table into SQLServer, it wrapped all these text strings in double quotes:

“New account, didn’t ask for conversion.”

but that doesn’t seem to fix the problem. When I try to pass that text string in an UPDATE statement I still get the error.

Is there a way to wrap up these text strings so they automatically get escaped by SQLServer? I understand the syntax for escaping them when I’m writing the whole SQL statement, but I can’t ask my users to avoid single quotes in their comments.

Thanks,
Bill J.

Hope this helps and saves some development time.

–remove single quote
set @label = REPLACE(@label ,””,”)

–replace single quote with doule quote
set @label = REPLACE(@label, ””, ‘”‘);

Thanks

Did you try escaping all those quotes?

@tableName varchar(100),
@Code nvarchar(10),
@label nvarchar(max),
@Lang nchar(2),
@Reg nchar(2),
@Fran nchar(3)

SET @query = ‘INSERT INTO ‘ + @tableName
+ ‘ (Code,label,Lang,Reg,Fran) VALUES’
+’ (”’+ @Code +”’,”’ @label +”’,”’+@Lang+”’,”’+@Reg+”’,”’+@Fran+”’)’

execute(@query)

this query will not work when i have label like this
A00 ”B & Y – “NIPO””

how to fix this
