When importing data into a SQL Server table, if a column’s size is less than the size of the corresponding column in the record that is being imported, then you will get this truncation error. This lecture discusses that and via a demo you will learn how you can resolve such issues.

String or binary data would be truncated
06:26

When trying to directly, or indirectly (i.e. during a data import) convert a column of the data type “varchar” to float, under certain circumstances, you might get this error message. This lecture discusses that, and via a demo you will see how you can resolve such issues.

Before SQL Server 2019, if you would like to store characters in SQL Server using Unicode, you could achieve this by using the nvarchar and ntext data types. In this lecture and demo, you will learn about Unicode support in pre-SQL Server 2019 versions.

Using Unicode in SQL Server
03:47

UTF-8 support in SQL Server 2019 and later, makes things much simpler and more efficient, when it comes to storing UTF-8 Unicode characters (i.e. via a data import process) to tables. In this lecture and demo, we will learn more about this feature and see how it simplifies data import operations in SQL Server that have to do with UTF-8 Unicode data.
