When Creating a View................i am facing the error as..............
" Msg 8152, Level 16, State 10, Procedure ddllogger, Line 7
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated. "
Here is the query if am using....
CREATE VIEW HumanResources.vEmployeesTime
AS
SELECT
hre.EmployeeID,
pc.LastName,
pc.FirstName,
hre.Title,
hre.VacationHours,
hre.SickLeaveHours
FROM
HumanResources.Employee hre
JOIN
Person.Contact pc ON hre.ContactID = pc.ContactID
WHERE
SalariedFlag = 1
AND
CurrentFlag = 1
Not sure where the problem is.....but when i double click the error it highlights "hre.Title".
Regards
ItzSam

mmm

Is that the only code that is on the screen when you hit F5 or run?

Because the error seeems to be in a procedure ddllogger and not in the view?

Thanks

Chris

Good catch Christopher; i missed that when i read his error;

obviously he's got something in place for DDL auditing, and it's fixed size instead of varchar(max) for the data captured.

i show his command is 552 bytes; the destination table for his ddllogger audit is probably varchar(500)

OK Open a new query window

Run your create code again.

If you get the same error then in the same window run this only:

sp_HelpText 'ddllogger'

and let us know what it says?

i executed sp_Helptext 'ddllogger'......which basically gives the content of stored procedure.

But it says no stored procedure with name ddllogger in the Database.

HI Lowell

Are you saying that is has flicked a switch to turn on some built in DDL Logging?

Meaning anytime he creates stuff it writes to a table?

mmm very interesting how do turn this on? Or would this be a custom implimentation?

Thanks

Chris

Hi

executed sp_Help 'ddllogger'.

It says...."Msg 15009, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help, Line 66

The object 'ddllogger' does not exist in database 'AdventureWorks' or is invalid for this operation."

Is Adventure works the DB that you tried to create your view on?

yeah Chris;

I've got a suite of DDL audit triggers I play with as well; you know, logging every change create or change to a proc(and separately, every table/view and function)

here's my proc example and it's destination logging table:

[font="Courier New"]

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DDLEventLog](

[EventDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,

[UserName] [sysname] NOT NULL,

[objectName] [sysname] NOT NULL,

[CommandText] [varchar](MAX) NOT NULL,

[EventType] [nvarchar](100) NULL

)

--

GO

CREATE TRIGGER [ReturnPREventData]

ON DATABASE

FOR

CREATE_PROCEDURE, DROP_PROCEDURE, ALTER_PROCEDURE

AS

DECLARE @eventData XML,

@uname NVARCHAR(50),

@oname NVARCHAR(100),

@otext VARCHAR(MAX),

@etype NVARCHAR(100),

@edate DATETIME

SET @eventData = eventdata()

SELECT

@edate=GETDATE(),

@uname=@eventData.value('data(/EVENT_INSTANCE/UserName)[1]', 'SYSNAME'),

@oname=@eventData.value('data(/EVENT_INSTANCE/ObjectName)[1]', 'SYSNAME'),

@otext=@eventData.value('data(/EVENT_INSTANCE/TSQLCommand/CommandText)[1]',

'VARCHAR(MAX)'),

@etype=@eventData.value('data(/EVENT_INSTANCE/EventType)[1]', 'nvarchar(100)')

IF @uname IS NOT NULL

BEGIN

INSERT dbo.DDLEventLog (EventDate, UserName, objectName, CommandText,EventType) VALUES

(@edate,@uname,@oname,@otext,@etype)

END

GO

ENABLE TRIGGER [ReturnPREventData] ON DATABASE

GO[/font]

I'm absolutely sure he has something similar, but it is failing when inserting the EventData...this the error in trigger ddllogger

Start in your current database with the following query and then move to the master database. You may find that there is a DDL trigger that is firing when you run the CREATE VIEW.

I have a DDL trigger on my SandBox database for testing purposes.

select * from sys.triggers

Lowell SSC Guru Points: 323507 More actions · Answer 14

also, i added my audit just now to a clean database,a nd even though i KNOW the table exists, when i try to sp_helptext the trigger on the database, it fails...

so how do you see a Database trigger? i'm googling now. I can find my logging table and sp_help it, but not the trigger that fills it so far.
