Question Cannot paste my text into column
Hi All,

I'm have a strange situation with SQL Server 2000. I am trying to paste this into a VARCHAR (8000):
Quote:
<asp:panel id='pnlFlashBanner' style='Z-INDEX: 104; LEFT: 288px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 312px'runat='server' Height='112px' Width='632px'><OBJECT codeBase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0'height='100' width='600' classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' VIEWASTEXT><PARAM NAME='_cx' VALUE='15875'><PARAM NAME='_cy' VALUE='2646'><PARAM NAME='FlashVars' VALUE=''><PARAM NAME='Movie' VALUE='MEB_Banner.swf'><PARAM NAME='Src' VALUE='MEB_Banner.swf'><PARAM NAME='WMode' VALUE='Window'><PARAM NAME='Play' VALUE='-1'><PARAM NAME='Loop' VALUE='-1'><PARAM NAME='Quality' VALUE='High'><PARAM NAME='SAlign' VALUE=''><PARAM NAME='Menu' VALUE='-1'><PARAM NAME='Base' VALUE=''><PARAM NAME='AllowScriptAccess' VALUE='always'><PARAM NAME='Scale' VALUE='ShowAll'><PARAM NAME='DeviceFont' VALUE='0'><PARAM NAME='EmbedMovie' VALUE='0'><PARAM NAME='BGColor' VALUE=''><PARAM NAME='SWRemote' VALUE=''><PARAM NAME='MovieData' VALUE=''><PARAM NAME='SeamlessTabbing' VALUE='1'><embed src='MEB_Banner.swf' quality='high' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='600' height='100'></embed></OBJECT></asp:panel>

Admittedly this is a long piece of text but running a little letter count application I know that it is only 1211 characters long.

However when I paste the above text into SQL Server I get this warning:

"The value you entered not consistent with the data type or length of the column."

I read on the web a little and discovered that somebody had this problem and they had used NVARCHAR instead which fixed it for them, this has not worked for myself though.

Does anyone have any idea what SQL is objecting to?

Thanks, Dave.

You have to double all of the single quotes first.

Example:
Code:
INSERT INTO TableName
(
	FieldName
)
VALUES
(
	'<asp:panel id=''pnlFlashBanner'' style=''Z-INDEX: 104; LEFT: 288px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 312px''runat=''server'' Height=''112px'' Width=''632px''><OBJECT codeBase=''http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0''height=''100'' width=''600'' classid=''clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000'' VIEWASTEXT><PARAM NAME=''_cx'' VALUE=''15875''><PARAM NAME=''_cy'' VALUE=''2646''><PARAM NAME=''FlashVars'' VALUE=''''><PARAM NAME=''Movie'' VALUE=''MEB_Banner.swf''><PARAM NAME=''Src'' VALUE=''MEB_Banner.swf''><PARAM NAME=''WMode'' VALUE=''Window''><PARAM NAME=''Play'' VALUE=''-1''><PARAM NAME=''Loop'' VALUE=''-1''><PARAM NAME=''Quality'' VALUE=''High''><PARAM NAME=''SAlign'' VALUE=''''><PARAM NAME=''Menu'' VALUE=''-1''><PARAM NAME=''Base'' VALUE=''''><PARAM NAME=''AllowScriptAccess'' VALUE=''always''><PARAM NAME=''Scale'' VALUE=''ShowAll''><PARAM NAME=''DeviceFont'' VALUE=''0''><PARAM NAME=''EmbedMovie'' VALUE=''0''><PARAM NAME=''BGColor'' VALUE=''''><PARAM NAME=''SWRemote'' VALUE=''''><PARAM NAME=''MovieData'' VALUE=''''><PARAM NAME=''SeamlessTabbing'' VALUE=''1''><embed src=''MEB_Banner.swf'' quality=''high'' pluginspage=''http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer''type=''application/x-shockwave-flash'' width=''600'' height=''100''></embed></OBJECT></asp:panel>'
)

Then it will insert it.
