Problem writing XML files.

Pi
Hi guys,

I have a stored procedure that I will subsequently post below this
message. What the stored procedure does is, it reads some specific
tables in a database and created XML off it.

The problem comes in when the data is bigger than a few hundred/
thousand characters. The data is truncated and the XML file is not
fully made.

Now i have been reading some posts by some people and tried using TEXT/
NTEXT/ IMAGE type to write the files but they give me errors which,
again, I am adding to this email.

STORED PROC:
*************** *************

CREATE PROCEDURE usrp_sp_makexml file
@str varchar(50),
@templatefile varchar(255),
@ReturnValue as image OUT

AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @strVar as varchar(8000)
/*DECLARE @ReturnValue as varchar(255)*/

Set @strVar = 'Select * from ' + @str + ' FOR XML AUTO'
Set @templatefile = 'c:\template.tp l'

EXEC (@strVar)

SELECT @ReturnValue
GO

THIS IS WHAT I GET WHEN I USE IMAGE/NTEXT/TEXT TYPE:
*************** *************** *************** ************

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Invalid OperationExcept ion'
occurred in system.data.dll

Additional information: Parameter 2: '@ReturnValue' of type: Byte[],
the property Size has an invalid size: 0
Also, if i try to add an integer value to the image/text/ntext like
8000 or something less than that, it tells me that the result has to be
discarded because the current process has had some error.
Can someone give me a suggestion on how to resolve this or an example
that would illustrate the solution? Thank you all in advance.

Pi.

Hi

You may want to check out http://sqlxml.org/faqs.aspx?faq=29 but there may
be issues with line breaks for sp_makewebtask or look at
http://www.perfectxml.com/Articles/XML/ExportSQLXML.asp

With Microsoft SQL Server text is a valid datatype for parameter.

I am using OpenOffice files in my app. They're stored in .zip format, so the zip format is much more important, in this case, than that they're OOo files (other than that the extension is .sxw and not .zip). (I know these code sections use outside variables, but it's probably pretty clear what the outside variables are -- if not, I can clarify.) I read the files in this way: int i = 0; byte bIn = new byte, bData;

I am running in debugging mode after a clean C++ compilation under .NET 2003. In a BIG loop (controlled many levels up in the call stack), I open a file with fopen using the "a" option.

After three times around the loop in the debugger, I stop the program (using "Stop debugging"). That is writing 552 bytes. The resulting file's properties...

I'm using the zipfile library to read a zip file in Windows, and it seems to be adding too many newlines to extracted files. I've found that for extracted text-encoded files, removing all instances of '\r' in the extracted file seems to fix the problem, but I can't find an easy solution for binary files. The code I'm using is something like: from zipfile import Zipfile z = Zipfile(open('zippedfile.zip'))
