MD5 in SQL

Is there any MD5() type of function SQL Server to encrypt
a string?
Thanks,
LixinNothing built in. Take a look at wiHash and wiCrypt from www.whamware.com.

Maximum size for "ntext" type in sql server

I couldn't insert more than 4000 charachters in "ntext" type in SQL server. Is there anyway, i can increase the size or any suggestions?ntext columns are limited to 2GB? Sounds like how you are setting the ntext is limited to 4000 characters, not the column itself.|||I am using NHibernate as persistent layer, may be NHibernate is limited to 4000 characters.

Thanks|||NText is 1gig because Unicode is multibytes. Hope this helps.|||Hi,

Try to post this problem on this forum http://sqlservercentral.com/forums/Default.aspx.

Or post some code that you are executing, or T-SQL commands to createthe table with column that is truncating your string. It sounds likethis column is nvarchar(4000), not ntext. 8000 bytes, this is the limitfor nvarchar.|||My column data type is "ntext" and acually i tried t-sql command to insert the very long text and there is no problem.

I guess, my problem as i said earlier is the persisten layer "NHibernate". it should've give me exception if i exceed the allowed size but i don't get any. Therefore, what i am guessing is, the maximum allowed size for NHibernate is 4000 chars..most likly is trunckates strings before it saves.

I also know that it is possible to tell NHibernate about the data types of the columns. I will try that.

Thanks|||Sorry,

I wasn't to helpful last time :) but I googled it, and found this post:

http://www.castleproject.org/index.php/ActiveRecord:Troubleshooting#Text_Columns_are_truncated_in_Sql_Server

Hope this time it will help :)|||I really thanks you...
I was guessing but now you make me sure of the NHibernate bug.
Thanks again

maximum row size exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060

Hi,
I have created a table (say Table1) with few columns, with one of the
columns (say column1) having the data type as Varchar(8000).
Now I run the below query -
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE
SET ARITHABORT ON
SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON
COMMIT
BEGIN TRANSACTION
if not exists (select * from dbo.syscolumns
where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Table1]')
and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1
and name = 'Column1')
ALTER TABLE dbo.Table1 ADD
Column1 varchar(500) NULL
GO
COMMIT
Now that the column Column1 already exists, the add column statement won't
be executed. But still I get the warning -
"Warning: The table 'Table1' has been created but its maximum row size
(8579) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE
of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060
bytes."
My question is, now that the column already exists, the statement itself
won't be executed. Then why do I still get this warning?That has to do with the sequence of query processing and when the warning is generated. Obviously
the warning (the fact that this table will have a row size for which you can exceed the limit in
your data) is generated in a stage which is earlier than when the statements are actually executed.
In other words, the If statement haven't been executed at this stage.

maximum allowed size for any data type

Hi,
I am a bit of a novice so please excuse any blinding ignorance
I recieve the following error using mssqlserver v7_1:
the size (32672) given to the type 'varchar' exceeds the maximum allowed for any data type
so how can I find out what this maximum is?search books online for data types

max(field) but the field value is not always numeric

I need to find the highest number in one column. Here is a catch, the column
type is varchar and some of the rows will have non number character in it. I
am trying to find the highest number ignoring any row that is not a numeric
value. Here is my query.
SELECT max(item_abrv) as mx from item where isnumeric(item_abrv) = 1
Thanks for any input.You may want to cast the column as an int within the max
SELECT max(cast(item_abrv as int)) as mx from item where
isnumeric(item_abrv) = 1

SELECT max(item_abrv) as mx from item where isnumeric(item_abrv) = 1 and
item_abrv not like '%e%' and item_abrv not like '%d%'
Thanks for your help.
