I am storing data (approx. 1500 words) in SQL server 2005 through textbox and button. I am using this code.
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
conn.Open();
String query = String.Format("insert into try (data,sno) values ('{0}',22)",TextBox1.Text);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Label1.Text = "submitted";
conn.Close();
}
I have column 'data'
of data type 'char(4000)'
.
Problem is that, when I store 1st paragraph (approx 1500 words), it stored successfully. But when I stored another paragraph (approx 1500 words), it show me the error.
"Incorrect syntax near 's'. Unclosed quotation mark after the
character string ',22)'."
What is the problem ??
Use Parameters
String query = "insert into try (data,sno) values (@data,22)";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@data", TextBox1.text);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
In this way you don't need to worry about the presence of single quotes in your text and, the most important thing, you avoid SqlInjection Attacks
String.Format
will not escape the input string suitably for use in an SQL statement, which will lead to errors & serious vulnerabilities.
You should use Parameterized Queries which are designed specifically to address this.
This sounds like you have an '
, or multiple '
s, in the TextBox1.Text
. You will need to replace all single quotes for double.
String query = String.Format("insert into try (data,sno) values ('{0}',22)",Replace(TextBox1.Text,"'","''"));
However, this approach will open you up to SQL Injection attacks. I'd recommend using a Stored Procedure, like the following:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.CommandText = "spInsertDataIntoTry";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@data", TextBox.Text);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Otherwise, you could use Parameters like others have mentioned.
Does your text contains '
letter? If yes then it is breaking INSERT
query.
If you would try to insert following text:
Hello' there
Then your query would look like this:
insert into try (data,sno) values ('Hello' there,22)
Which results in incorrect query.
This is not the way queries should be done, because it leads to security issues (read more: SQL Injection) you should use parametrized queries.
"Incorrect syntax near 's' - this indicates your sql statements is wrong.
i guess that your input content maybe contains sql server keywords, so check your 2nd paragraph is there any keyword such as "'".
for example:
2nd paragraph is: how's the weather? it's cool!!!!!!!
so the sql statement is: insert into try (data,sno) values ('how's the weather? it's cool!!!!!!!',22)
it will arise an exception incorrect syntax near 's'
