A SQL String To Start A Query At A Certain Number And Continuing On
Apr 17, 2008
Hello experts,
Suddenly I find myself in need of a SQL search that ONLY starts at a record. I need to page through the existing records, but start at the users choice.

In t-sql 2008 r2, I would like to know how to select a specific string in a varchar(50) field. The field in question is called 'CalendarId'.
This field can contain values like:
xxIN187 13-14 W Elem
HS321 13-14 D Elem
IN636 13-14 C Elem
030 13-14 clark middle.
What I am looking for is the first position that contains a number value for the length of 3. Thus what I want are values that look like the following: 030, 636, 187.What I know that I want is substring(CalendarId,?,3).The question mark is where I want the starting location of a number value (0 to 9) of the value in CalendarId . I tried pathindex but my syntax did not work.

Greetings everyone!Is there a way to stop query analyzer from processing remaining querystatements? Let's say i have the following query in query analyzer:query statementsif conditionbeginquery statementsstop the queryendquery statementsif conditionbeginquery statementsstop the queryendis there a way to stop the query from executing the statements in thesecond query when the first condition is met?i have searched BOL and google but i couldn't find anything. I hopeanybody out there can help me.BTW, i'm executing this statements directly in QA, not from within myprogram. The query statement and if condition pair is plenty. i guess ican use an else statement but it would be nested too deep. if there isa simpler way to do it please point me to the right direction or to anylink that'll get me going.Thanks in advance.diego

I have a query which runs exactly as I want it to. Let's say it returns this in a table:
IDNumber
123
212
312
I want to change (find and replace?) all the number 12s in the 'Number' column for a string. I want to change the 12s to the word: HelloWorld. I don't want to update the table, merely the table that is being returned in the query.

I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip"
or
"tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip"
or
"airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234
123
12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.

Good morning,
I will start off with the default warning message: I am a beginner. That said, I have an SSIS process that calls an external executable to transform a data file through a homegrown C program. (This will eventually be converted, but for the moment needs to remain.) The end of the run creates a *.done file. How do I use the SSIS tasks to pause/wait, checking periodically, for the existence of this file before continuing with processing tasks? I apologize if this is easy, but I am stumped.
Thanks in advance,
Roger

I have a ForEach loop that processes a list of databases. Inside the loop I many steps, one of which is a sequence that contains two steps. Either of these steps may fail (they are attempting to start mirroring and could fail for any number of reasons). I would like to trap this error and ignore it so the For loop will continue, but still fail if other steps than this one fail. The only thing I've been able to do so far is to tell the whole loop to continue through some insane number of errors. Is there a way to identify or actually ignore the error? In the sequence I have have on completion and from the sequence to the next step (which checks if mirroring actually started) is running on completion.
Thanks.

But the installation tells me that i have to close my application.
"The following application should be closed before continuing...."
Why ? What is checked by setup?

Our fiscal year starts on July 1st. Each month they call a period - so July is period 1, August is period 2, etc.
They are wanting a report that pulls numbers for a given period. There are parameters for them to select the fiscal year and the fiscal period, and then it calculates the numbers for that period. That part works fine.
Now they want me to do some calculations, and one of them is to divide one of the numbers by the # of days since the fiscal year. So if they choose July, it would be 31 days. If they choose August, it would be 61 days, etc. How can I set this up to calculate the number of days when they really aren't entering a start date, it's just a fiscal year and period.
Is there a way to calculate a date field that is 07/01/xxxx where xxxx is the fiscal year they chose? Also a way to calculate a date field that would be the last date of the month for the fiscal period and year they chose?
I suppose I could add 2 other parameters where they enter the start of the current fiscal year, and the last day of the period they're running it for, and use a datediff to calculate that. Just seems kind of redundant.

I'm trying to import a large .txt file into SQL but a regular bulk insert will not do as there are no delimiters. Each line contains roughly 1080 bytes of data that are scrunched together. (1 byte - represents one character) The only thing I know for sure is the start and end position for each column entry which is fixed-format. For example:
col1 (1,3)
col2 (4,6)
col3 (7,7)
col4 (8,30)
col5 (31,39)
...
colN (1050, 1080)
This occurs for X,XXX,XXX rows. So for each row, I want to pull in the column info based on the string position of the data.
How can I do this in SQL? All I have found so far is bulk insert entry...

Looking at a trace table and trying to remove all the "erroneous" bits in a string e.g the declares etc so I can purely get to proc names.
An example string
declare @p2 varchar(10) set @p2=NULL exec sp_proc @Code='TF',@TypeCode=@p2 output select @p2
I've tried
select top 5000 textdata,substring(textdata,charindex('exec',textdata)+5,charindex('@',textdata)-1)
from trace_table
where TextData like '%sp_%'
and TextData like '%declare%'
And it fails dismally...

I need to find the missing months in a table for the earliest and latest start dates per ID_No. As an example:
create table #InputTable (ID_No int ,OccurMonth datetime)
insert into #InputTable (ID_No,OccurMonth)
select 10, '2007-11-01' Union all
select 10, '2007-12-01' Union all
select 10, '2008-01-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-01-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-02-01' Union all
select 20, '2009-04-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-05-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-08-01' Union all
select 30, '2010-09-01' Union all
select 40, '2008-03-01'
For the above table, the answer should be:
ID_No OccurMonth
----- ----------
20 2009-02-01
30 2010-06-01
30 2010-07-01
1) don't include an ID column,
2) don't use the start date/end dates in the data or
3) use cursors, which are forbidden in my environment.

I've just upgraded from Access to SQL 2000 and am having problems with a line of SQL code.
In Access I sorted on a text column of part numbers where a number within the text was the important sort value.
Text was typically "AB 1234 A" "AB 34 B" "AB 73000"
The important sort has to be on the numeric value of the part number.
Access Code that worked was:
ORDER BY Val(MID(Parts.PartNo,4,6))
Seeing both Val() and MID() are not acceptable in SQL 2000 I ended up using
Substr(Parts.PartNo,4,6) but this returns a string sort where 100 appears before 25 etc.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
Peter

Quick question I hope:
Is there a way to convert a string into a unique number. I have tried using checksum(str) but this appears not to be unique.
For example:
select checksum('KEY AND KEY')
select checksum('COPENBARGER AND COPENBARGER')
both yield -2027749374.
Can someone suggest an alternative function?
Many thanks :)!

Hi guys,
I have 2 tables:
Unit( unit_id integer, unit_name varchar(20) )
Part( part_id integer, part_name varchar(20) )
Then I have a join table between the two
Unit_Part( unit_id, part_id )
Each unit NAME and part NAME is unique. So what kind of performance would I be losing if I were to do something like:
PROCEDURE addPartToUnit( VARCHAR(20) sPartName, VARCHAR(20) sUnitName )
-- Now in this procedure i'll just get the id's via the names from a select statement
Versus
PROCEDURE addPartToUnit( nPartId INTEGER, nUnitId INTEGER )
-- In this proc, i directly input the primary keys of the table so no lookup is necessary
The reason is that I would like for developers to be able to write code without having to know the id's.
What do you think?

I have table (log)as below
ID---Qstring----------------------------------------------ProID
1----ID=25375
2----ID=23382
3----lngSessionId=134513044&pid=25375
52---lngSessionId=133466044&pid=27890
67---tduid=dc79b&url=http://www.mydomain.co.uk/proddetails.asp?id=186
How do I read only the number starts with ID and pid from the above string and insert into column 'ProID' of the same row? It is log table tracking all the visiters to the web site. The number next to IDs and pids are productIDs. So if I manage to get product ID to the column ProId then I can hit against other table to find out which product the customer clicked.
I planned to do the above said by trigger. Please help

Lets say I have a table named Projects with the data below.Y07001Y07002Y07003Y07010Y07011I want to pick up the last 3 numbers and add a one to it so.
Declare @Count as varchar(3)
SELECT Top 1 @Count = Right(Project, 3)+1 FROM Projects Order by ID desc
SELECT @Count
This is what I am using. It picks up the last entry, add a one to it and gives me 12 in return. What i want is 012, not 12

Hi,
In short:
I want my following problem to work with a LIKE instead of exact match and if possible be faster. (currently 4s)
Problem:
I got a set of rows with varchar(50), spread out over multiple tables.
All those tables relate to a central Colour table.
For each of the columns, I want to match the values with a set of strings I insert and then return a set of Colour.Id
E.g: input: 'BLACK', 'MERCEDES', '1984'
Would return colour ids "025864", 45987632", "65489" and "63249"
Because they have a colour name containing 'BLACK' or are on a car from 'MERCEDES' or are used in '1984'.
Current Situation:
I) Create a table containing all possible values
CREATE TABLE dbo.CommonSearch(
id int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
clr_id int,
keyWord varchar(40),
fieldType varchar(25)
And fill it with all the values (671694 rows)
)
II) Stored Procedure to cut a string up into a table:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitString
(
@param varchar(50),
@splitChar char = ''
)
RETURNS
@T TABLE (keyWord varchar(50))
AS
BEGIN
WHILE LEN( @param ) > 0 BEGIN
declare @val varchar(50)
IF CHARINDEX( @splitChar, @param ) > 0
SELECT @val = LEFT( @param, CHARINDEX( @splitChar, @param ) - 1 ) ,
@param = RIGHT( @param, LEN( @param ) - CHARINDEX( @splitChar, @param ) )
ELSE
SELECT @val = @param, @param = SPACE(0)
INSERT INTO @T values (@val)
END
RETURN
END
III)Stored Procedure to query the first table with the second one
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetCommonSearchResultForTabDelimitedStrings]
@keyWords varchar(255) = ''
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
select clr_id, keyWord, fieldType
from dbo.commonSearch
where keyWord in (select * from splitString(@keyWords, ''))
END
So, how can I use a LIKE statement in the IN statement of the last query.
Furthermore, I was wondering if this is the best sollution to go for.
Are there any better methods? Got any tuning tips to squeeze out an extra second?

Hello
I am importing from a comma delimited text file. A certain string column has values that represent numbers, such as "US$ 20", "30", "40 - 50". I would like to import the number, and if the cell does not contain a string representing a number (example: "I don't know"), a NULL value should be imported instead for that cell.
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
@str varchar(500)
select @str = 'abcd,efgh,i,jklmn,opsqrtuv'
For the above string, which string function can be used to find the number of occurences of a particular character, for example, ','? For this example, the answer should be 4. Is there any built-in function in SQL to do this?
Thanks in advance,
