Usage Analysis Imports Multiple Truncated Directories for a Single-Level2 Directory Using SQL Server 6.5

ID: Q235127

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Incorrect entries are imported into TblImportLevel2Dir during import. This problem occurs with SQL Server 6.5. Imports to Microsoft Access work correctly.


CAUSE

The import stored procedure allocates a temp buffer of 100 characters. If dataset contains URL entries that exceed 100 characters, the temp buffer truncates the entry, causing incorrect entries to be posted to the Level2Dir table.


WORKAROUND

Use a Microsoft Access database or reduce the size of the URLs being analyzed.
