I've got a large data import coming in from a customer. The data comes in in a variant amount, and I'm writing some SQL to tear it apart, drop it into a staging table, and then use that table to update the correct data tables. I've written a UDF to take the initial data and split it on a specified delimiter.
Data example:
DECLARE @BigStringBlob NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET @BigStringBlob = CAST('(442866, 16, 3, 3, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 17, 10, 10, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 248, 0, 2, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 268, 0, 0, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', False, False, False, False, False, False, False)^(442866, 16, 3, 3, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 17, 10, 10, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 248, 0, 2, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 268, 0, 0, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', False, False, False, False, False, False, False)^(442866, 16, 3, 3, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 17, 10, 10, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 248, 0, 2, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 268, 0, 0, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', False, False, False, False, False, False, False)^(442866, 16, 3, 3, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 17, 10, 10, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 248, 0, 2, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 268, 0, 0, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', False, False, False, False, False, False, False)^(442866, 16, 3, 3, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 17, 10, 10, ''1'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 248, 0, 2, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', True, True, True, True, True, True, False)^(442866, 268, 0, 0, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', False, False, False, False, False, False, False)^(442866, 268, 0, 0, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', False, False, False, False, False, False, False)^(442866, 268, 0, 0, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', False, False, False, False, False, False, False)^(442866, 268, 0, 0, ''2'', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ''11/8/2012 9:15:49 AM'', False, False, False, False, False, False, False)' AS NVARCHAR(MAX));
Code:
--Clear Parsed Chunks
DELETE FROM [tmpParsedChunks];
--Fill perma-temp table with initially parsed chunks
--INSERT INTO [tmpParsedChunks]
SELECT [UID],
REPLACE(REPLACE([Values], 'True', '1'), 'False', '0')
FROM [dbo].[udfCharacterListToTable](@BigStringBlob, '^') AS UCLTT
ORDER BY UCLTT.[UID];
SELECT * FROM [tmpParsedChunks];
The above code results in [tmpParsedChunks] having 20 full rows of data, and the 21st row cutting off halfway.

21 (442866, 268, 0, 0, '2', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
row 21 is where 'death' happens.
Problem is, I'm going to have far more than 20 rows of usable data being processed, so I need to resolve this issue and allow more text! |

What data type(s) is your UDF working with?
SELECT [UID],
REPLACE(REPLACE([Values], 'True', '1'), 'False', '0')
FROM [dbo].[udfCharacterListToTable](@BigStringBlob, '^') AS UCLTT
ORDER BY UCLTT.[UID];
SELECT * FROM [tmpParsedChunks];

| Does it die on the 21st row because that is where it is exceeding 8000 characters in the input string? I would look in the udfCharacterListToTable to see if it is really able to handle nvarchar(max). |

THAT was the exact clue-in I needed!
My UDF was using NVARCHAR(1000) strings for each 'row' of data. I changed it to MAX, and presto, all's well!
Thank you! |
