Hi,
I have some columns that can be either a Number or Text.
and I have to sum all the value if that column is a Number, therefore in my Table footer i have:
=IIF(IsNumeric(Fields!Col1.Value),Sum(Fields!Col1.Value),"")
However this will give me #ERROR if the columns is Text. It works for Number.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits.
The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
mfg_start_date = CStr(CDate(Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 3, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 5, 2) & "/" & Mid(rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2)))
option 1
I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
With refresh_shipping_sched
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.CommandText = "spRefresh_shipping_sched"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ret_val", adInteger, adParamReturnValue)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@option", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, update_option)
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_ord_num", adChar, adParamInput, mfg_ord_num_length, "")
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@mfg_start_date", adChar, adParamInput, 10, "")
Set rs_refresh_shipping_sched = .Execute
End
Please help
We have some URLs within a bulk block of text some of which are very long. I need to identify rows where such urls exceed say 100 characters in length in amongst other text.So the rule would be return a record if within the string there is a string (without spaces) longer than 100 characters.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?
I am running a converted DTS package which executes a stored procedure which extracts fields from a SQL database table and puts them to a flat file. Two of the fields are datetime fields. The stored procedure does not convert the dates, and under SQL 2000 DTS the fields extract as strings in format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mms. When this gave me an error in SSIS, I added a data conversion task between the Ole DB Source and the Text file destination to convert the two fields to DT_STR format and used the converted fields in my mapping for the text file. I am still getting an error on this:
-1071636319,0x,Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "mm_hdr_process_date" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page."
The target code page is 1252 (ANSI) and I have tried several variations of length, and I still get this error.
Any suggestions? I would prefer not to have to change every stored procedure we have which may do this.
Thanks for any help.

Table3 ON Table2.2ID = Table3.3ID
I get this error:
Column 'fieldname' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in an aggregate function and there is no GROUP BY clause.
Is it because you can't do what I'm trying above or am I missing something?
Thank you!

I have a SQL server 2005 database with a series of multiple fields. One of the fields has a array of strings seperated by semi-colons like so: Red;Green;Blue
My question is, how can i run a query on all of the fields that have the value of say Green in it. Note that these values vary in different order and numbers.
Thanks

We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
Thanks.

I have a few columns in table with default value defined as zero length string (''). I want to insert record from DetailsView which uses SqlDataSource as DataSource. In the ItemInserting event, if the data is not valid, I want to use zero length string for the column. But I always get Null instead of zero length string. The code in ItemInserting event looks like this:
If objddl.SelectedIndex > 0 Then e.Values("myFld") = objddl.SelectedItem.ValueElse e.Values("myFld") = ""End If
The line: e.Values("myFld") = "" put Null in the column.
How can I set a column as zero length string using the SqlDataSource?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have a table called Table1 with a field called DateString with a nvarchar type. The records are like this;
DateString
1/11/2007
9/27/2006
2/22/2008
1/10/2007
11/13/2007

12345678900
11/20/2006
It may not have date records which are just string like in this example is 12345678900. I need a SQL script which can identify those records which are not of date type. Please help.
Thanks,

Hi all.
I have been banging my head against a brick wall with this for a couple of days now. I am wrighting a custom front end for one of our SQLServer DB's and need to run a select agains the DateTime Field. The field Format is [DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS]. I am tring to get the select to pull all the records on a set date only (keeping the time available but not selecting against it) so that the brass can see at what time on a given day an action was performed. Problem is, the way the programing software works, I can only build the SQL using string information. I have tried CONVERT and CAST both ways (converting the date to varchar and converting the string to date and also converting them both at the same time). Everything that I have tried returns an empty data set when used with the WHERE LIKE criteria (oh yeah, I'm also using LIKE % wildecards to retrive all the times against a specific date) but does populate when no filter is applied.
This is where my SQL is at just now:
SELECT Files.FileID, Useres.UserName, FileStatusLog.StatusCode, FileStatusLog.StatusDate
FROM (Files INNER JOIN FileStatusLog ON Files.FileID = FileStatusLog.FileID) INNER JOIN Users ON FileStatusLog.UserID = Users.UserID
WHERE (((CONVERT(varchar(10), FileStatusLog.StatusDate,103) LIKE '%{variable}%'));
This also returns an emtpy data set when the LIKE is replaced with ='{exact date entry in format: DD/MM/YYYY}', but does return the full table when the WHERE is removed and also when the LIKE is set to just a bare '%' with no other filter values.
Because of the fact that the results are returned when LIKE '%' is used I am not even sure if it is the CONVERT that is causing the problem. I have even tried assigning the escape character manualy to '+' incase the / values of the date in the LIKE variable where escaping other characters. Needless to say this did not make life any better.
As you may have noticed already SQL is not exactly my strong suit, but no one else here even knows what it is, never mind what it's used for, so I got droped with the task. Also - The DB was created by a third party so I have no write permissions to the DB.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as it's gotten personal now
Thaks in advance for any assistance
I have a field that contains some text. Each field will have none or atleast one comment in it. A comment can be a string of any length with *** on both sides. Ex: ***comment***
Declare @Test_tbl Table(TextField Text)
Insert Into @Test_tbl
Select 'Some text ***comment*** some more text' Union all
Select 'Other text ***another comment*** more and more text' Union all
Select '***Comment*** some text ***More Comments***' Union all
Select 'some text with no comment'
I need the output be ...
TextField

Some text some more text
Other text more and more text
some text
some text with no comment
Thanks in advance.
I'm very new to SQL server and can use some help. MyTable has ColumnA, which contains strings composed of 1 to 4 numeric characters (0 thru 9) followed by alphabetic characters. For example, "53ASDF". In my query, I need to create ColumnB, which takes the numeric prefix from ColumnA's string and prepends it with zeros, if necessary, to create a string of exactly 4 numeric characters. For example, I could get the following result:
ColA ColB
"6abc" "0006"
"457def" "0457"
"7232hij" "7232"
I have implemented a temporary solution using a CASE statement:
SELECT ColA, ColB =
CASE
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 4)) = 1 THEN (LEFT(ColA, 4))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 3)) = 1 THEN '0' + (LEFT(ColA, 3))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 2)) = 1 THEN '00' + (LEFT(ColA, 2))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 1)) = 1 THEN '000' + (LEFT(ColA, 1))
ELSE ''
END
FROM MyTable
Because of additional complexities, I need to implement the solution with a loop instead of a CASE statement. Can someone please describe such a solution?
I'm very confused about how variables work in SQL Server, but made an attempt to implement a solution. Hopefully, someone can make corrections and describe how to use it with a SELECT statement. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. This is what I started with:
DECLARE @ColBstring char(4)
DECLARE @num int
SET @ColBstring = ''
SET num = 1;
-- Get the numeric prefix from ColumnA's string
WHILE(isnumeric(substring(colA, 1, num)) = 1)
@ColBstring = (substring(colA, 1, num)
num = num + 1
-- Prepend the ColumnB string with zeros
WHILE(LEN(@ColBstring) < 4)
@ColBstring = '0' + @ColBstring
Thanks for any help,

I am struggling getting a time field from as/400 into SQL 200 using SSIS. The time field for some reason is being seen as dt_I8, And every type of conversion I try to do with it, it gives me an error about truncation. Example of my time field 12.35.00
How do you convert time field from as/400 which sql is seeing as DT_I8 to a string so that I can combine it with a date field to put it into a database timestamp field.

Hi all I was wondering whether it was possible to remove or delete part of a String in a Field? Lets take for example I have:
- A Table called: Table_1
- A Field called: MyField
- MyField contains the value: Hello I am on the msdn forums
Is it possible to perform an UPDATE Query which deletes part of that sentence? If this was hard coded it would be rather simple but if the phrase was changing which would lead to the sentence also changing is it possible to do this?
Lets say I wanted to remove the part which said msdn forums. Then UPDATE the field again which should leave out the bit msdn forums.
Appreciate the responses, Onam.

MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail:
SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records
However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text. This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000. I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format. Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google? Fixing this problem is not an option. This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it.

Hello all,
I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:
Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.
I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.
It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.
So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.
Thanks for the help in advance!
