I have this error message:
You omitted a operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounding it in quotation marks.
Here is a picture about my problem:
I want to format my "BYDAY" query and they have a problem with this: BYDAY: Format([SDÁTUM],"ddd") and i got this error message.
Most likely, your local separator is semicolon:
BYDAY: Format([SDÁTUM];"ddd")

I am displaying FORMATEMESSAGE in SSMS 2019 and it ends with Ellipsis '...'.
I tried PRINT(#var) and it is displaying full message, but with CONCAT or FORMATEMESSAGE it ends with '...' only after 1000 characters. My full length is 2729. I know that FORMATEMESSAGE contains only 2047 characters, but what is the alternative for it if I need the result 'EXEC this and that' ?
From FORMATMESSAGE (Transact-SQL):
msg_string
Applies to: SQL Server ( SQL Server 2016 (13.x) through
current version).
Is a string enclosed in single quotes and containing parameter value
placeholders. The error message can have a maximum of 2,047
characters. If the message contains 2,048 or more characters, only the
first 2,044 are displayed and an ellipsis is added to indicate that
the message has been truncated. Note that substitution parameters
consume more characters than the output shows because of internal
storage behavior. For information about the structure of a message
string and the use of parameters in the string, see the description of
the msg_str argument in RAISERROR (Transact-SQL).
2729 characters is too long for FORMATMESSAGE.
I am loading a CSV file in Netezza. One of the columns in this file has value like: $500,000-$749,999.
Even though this value is enclosed within double quotes, Netezza is not ignoring the comma. It throws an error like - expected end of row, "999".
There are two more columns after this field in the file. I tried adding EscapeChar ',' but it again gave an error that Delimeter and EscapeChar cannot have the same character.
Have anyone faced similar issue?
Workaround:
I can add 2 two more columns in my table, but then it would fail where field do not have comma value in it.
Try setting the QuotedValue option to DOUBLE

Also, if all your columns are quoted, you could also set the requirequotes option to true

Am having issues with escaping parts of strings in SQL. On example is:
SELECT TOP 10000 *
FROM experience
WHERE name IS
'AT&T'
Which is saying incorrect syntax near Incorrect syntax near 'AT'. Seems its an issue with the & - is there any general rule to escaping?
Have also tried
SELECT TOP 10000 *
FROM experience
WHERE name Like
'AT&\T'
This works, although gives no results (there are results which should come up)
The only character that needs escaping in a string literal is the single quote. '. This is escaped by doubling them up instead of with a backslash.
SELECT 'O''Reilly'
In the vast majority of cases you should be using parameterised queries anyway and never need to even do that.
The correct operator to use is =
SELECT TOP 10000 *
FROM experience
WHERE name = 'AT&T'
Works Fine SQL Fiddle Demo
IS is only used in conjunction with [NOT] NULL
The only special significance backslash has in a string literal is if immediately before a line break when it acts as a line continuation character.
PRINT 'This is all \
one line'
Returns
This is all one line
I am run into trouble.If type in Single-Double quotes in search statement will raise up a error,My sql statement like this:
SELECT UsersID,Sex,Age FROM dbo.UserBasicInfo WHERE
CONTAINS(PositionDesired,'"*"JAVA*"')
The error message:
Msg 7630, Level 15, State 3, Line 1
Syntax error near 'JAVA*' in the full-text search condition '"*"JAVA*"'.
Assume that the result must contains Single-Double quotes like: "JAVA"PHP" How to do?
Thanks !
You have an extra embedded double quote:
CONTAINS(PositionDesired,'"*"JAVA*"')
----------------------------^
This effectively terminates the string early, and SQL Server doesn't understand what that extra stuff is.
Should be (I think, not a full-text guru):
CONTAINS(PositionDesired,'"*JAVA*"')
However, I think that will eliminate the error, but not return the results you are after, since punctuation is ignored. You may have to use a combination of CONTAINS and LIKE, e.g.:
CONTAINS(PositionDesired,'JAVA')
AND PositionDesired LIKE '%"JAVA"%'
Or for the new requirement you've added:
CONTAINS(PositionDesired,'JAVA PHP')
AND PositionDesired LIKE '%"JAVA"PHP%"'
In the LIKE clause you don't have to worry about escaping or doubling-up the double quote, because it isn't a string delimiter there.
Hopefully the CONTAINS clause will filter results first, but even in a normal query there is no guarantee of short-circuiting or order of evaluation; I have no idea about a query with full-text and standard filters.
I am reading data from a table and updating into other table in SQLite. while reading it is not showing any error. But while it is updating it is showing error because the text i am going to update contains "You're" it is showing error for 're--> this apps' re. Any way to update with this special character?
Insert another single quote after You' so that the text becomes "You''re"
http://sqlite.org/lang_expr.html
A string constant is formed by enclosing the string in single quotes ('). A single quote within the string can be encoded by putting two single quotes in a row - as in Pascal. C-style escapes using the backslash character are not supported because they are not standard SQL.
