Hi,
I want to insert values with comma and I tried as below but I get error "String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated."
insert into table1 (column1, column2, column3)
values ('1,2,3,4', 'abc,def,cay','ab1,bc2,3d4')

insert into table1 (column1, column2, column3)
values ('1,2,3,4'), ('abc,def,cay'),('ab1,bc2,3d4')
This will insert '1,2,3,4' into column1,'abc,def,cay' into column2, and 'ab1,bc2,3d4' into column3

| This is actually bad design to enter comma separated values in DB. Have you thought about normalization? |

Thanks jimf and sodeep.
@jimf. I'm using sql server 2005 and I get error for your code - "There are more columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement."
@sodeep..in this case, i'm just following database designed by somebody else(my boss). |

If this is your requirement,
Column1 Column2 Column3
1,2,3,4 abc,def,cay ab1,bc2,3d4
The reason for the error (String or binary data would be truncated) is:
Sizes of these columns column1, column2, column3 may be lesser than ur data

@bandi, you are correct. I just increased the column sizes and made the change mentioned below, it worked. Thanks for pointing that out.
I just added one more bracket to make it work as below :
insert into table1 (column1, column2, column3)
values (('1,2,3,4', 'abc,def,cay','ab1,bc2,3d4'))
Thanks to all. |

So that means you are parsing everytime to get the value ??? |
