Question

Simple query :

UPDATE [WebERP].[dbo].[Users]
   SET 
       [ActiveDirectoryUser] = null

WHERE ActiveDirectoryUser='xxx\royin'

Error :

Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Users_Update, Line 17
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery
follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an
expression. The statement has been terminated.

I guess the problem is here :

it treats it as carriage return.

(if I change \r to \b it’s ok.)

How can I fix it ?

Answer 1

I think your error in fact lies elsewhere – I assume you’ve given us a much simplified query which in fact doesn’t reproduce the original error, or you’ve only given us one part of a bigger query.

For one thing – it says the error occurs in a subquery – your example doesn’t contain one.

The code you’ve provided works fine on my adventureworks database:

update SalesLT.Address
set AddressLine2 = 'abc\nd'
where AddressID = 9

Does exactly as expected.
