Greetings to all database professionals and laymen,Let us make a bold assumption that we have developed a softwaretool for the SQL Server environment which simply acts as an interfacebetween an end-user in an organization and the database, throughthe exclusive use of stored procedures which are authored by theorganization or by software developers.All development work at the application software level may therebybe conducted within SQL, by the development of TSQL storedprocedures and their coordination across an organization.The question then needs to be asked what are the advantages of thisarrangement and what are the disadvantages. I would appreciateyour comments here, as it is difficult for folk heavily involved (eg: me)in something to obtain objective opinion otherwise.Potentially it is possible to construct an entire database applicationsoftware package using only TSQL stored procedures and thistool. When a database backup is conducted not only the data isbacked up but also all the "program development" suite, in theform of stored procedures (and their scheduling, for example).One of the advantages from my perspective is that this arrangementimplies the possibility that all software external to the database maybe made redundant (except this tool), and along with it, all the otherredundancies of managing application development (life-cycles) withinthe database and then coordinating these changes with softwareexternal the database (particulary loading it to the client environment)You see, I believe that (for example) any and every application writtenin VB, C, etc, etc, etc (external to rdbms) expressly for database software(ie: rdbms software such as SQL Server) involves a redundancy of datadefinitions required ---- once within the VB and once within the db.I would appreciate any feedback on any of the above issues, andwish everyone the compliments of the season.Pete BrownFalls CreekNSWOz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~EDITOR:BoomerangOutPost: Mountain Man Graphics, Newport Beach, {OZ}Thematic Threading: Publications of Peace and Of Great SoulsWebulous Coordinates: http://www.mountainman.com.auQuoteForTheDay:"Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only inthe singular.

my asp.net application communicate with SQL database, but when I have single quote ( ' ) in my string then it throws error. and it does not insert that string in database. How can I solve this problem . or give me some suggestions on this issue. thank you maxmax
Hi! Need help with this one: I have a column with a string composed by several data. After using REPLACE several times, I get something like the data below, which has (in most of cases) a value and a date.
378 9/05
388 9/05
4/05
1/06 606
1/06 646
76 5/05
100 1/05
118 8/05
129 8/05
9/05 342
05/3 123
1/07
4/06 164 The problem is that I need to get each value alone (to separate columns), in example: Value Date 378 09/2005 388 09/2005 0 04/2005 ... 606 01/2006
and so on... In addittion you can see that sometimes the Value come first or alone, and sometimes the Date come first or alone.
I will appreciate any good ideas, Thanks in advance, Aldo.

I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
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.
I have following query which return me SP/Views and Functions script using:
select DEFINITION FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESNow, the result looks like Create proc create procedure create proc create view create function
I need its result as:
Alter Procedure Alter Procedure Alter Procedure Alter View Alter Function
I used following
select replace(replace(replace(DEFINITION,'CREATE PROCEDURE','Alter Procedure'), 'create proc','Alter Procedure'),'create view','Alter View') FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESto but it is checking fixed space like create<space>proc, how can i check if there are two or more spaces in between create view or create proc or create function, it should replace as i want?
I am trying to insert a row into a table of Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
There are various columns.
[SNO] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL , [DATT] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [DATTA] [char] (3000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [CODECS] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
The [DATTA] column is causing a problem. Even if I am trying to put only 1700 character string into [DATTA], the java code throws the following exception:-
StaleConnecti A CONM7007I: Mapping the following SQLException, with ErrorCode 0 and SQLState 08S01, to a StaleConnectionException: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Connection reset
at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createException(Unknown Source)
Why is it throwing an exception even though the sum-total of this row doesn't exceed 8000 characters?
Hello to all, I have a problem with ms sql query. I hope that somebody can help me. i have a table "Relationships". There are two Fields (IDMember und RelationshipIDs) in this table.

Example Datas for Table Relationships: IDMember Relationships . 3387 (2345, 2388,4567,....) 4567 (8990, 7865, 3387...) i wirte a query to check if there is Relationship between two members. Query: Declare @IDM int; Declare @IDO int; Set @IDM = 3387, @IDO = 4567; select * from Relationship where (IDMember = @IDM) and ( cast(@ID0 as char(100)) in (select Relationship .[RelationshipIDs] from Relationship where IDMember = @IDM))
But I get nothing by this query. Can Someone tell me where is the problem? Thanks
Hello, I am tring to add a string my database. Info is added, but it is the name of the string, not the data contained within. What am I doing wrong? The text "Company" and "currentUserID" is showing up in my database, but I need the info contained within the string. All help is appreciated!

My requirement is that if the string in the column has any of the characters from 'ACDIPFJZ' , those characters have to be retained and the rest of the characters have to be removed.
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.
I'm a non-programmer and an SQL newbie. I'm trying to create a printer usage report using LogParser and SQL database. I managed to export data from the print server's event log into a table in an SQL2005 database.
There are 3 main columns in the table (PrintJob) - Server (the print server name), TimeWritten (timestamp of each print job), String (eventlog message containing all the info I need). My problem is I need to split the String column which is a varchar(255) delimited by | (pipe). Example:
2|Microsoft Word - ราย�ารรับ.doc|Sukanlaya|HMb1_SD_LJ2420|IP_192.10.1.53|82720|1
The first value is the job number, which I don't need. The second value is the printed document name. The third value is the owner of the printed document. The fourth value is the printer name. The fifth value is the printer port, which I don't need. The sixth value is the size in bytes of the printed document, which I don't need. The seventh value is the number of page(s) printed.
How I can copy data in this table (PrintJob) into another table (PrinterUsage) and split the String column into 4 columns (Document, Owner, Printer, Pages) along with the Server and TimeWritten columns in the destination table?
In Excel, I would use combination of FIND(text_to_be_found, within_text, start_num) and MID(text, start_num, num_char). But CHARINDEX() in T-SQL only starts from the beginning of the string, right? I've been looking at some of the user-defind-function's and I can't find anything like Excel's FIND().
Or if anyone can think of a better "native" way to do this in T-SQL, I've be very grateful for the help or suggestion.
Hello Friends, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question but if not please suggest me when it can be posted. I have been thinking of writing Stored procs in SQL CLR/ changing all of my Stored Procs to SQL CLR. Is there any thing that I need to keep in mind about the size of the sotred proc (like calculation intensive) before I do that? I mean can even change a TSQL stored proc which is relatively small Stored Proc, that simply said Select * from Customers to SQL CLR? or the SQL CLR does only useful/makes difference with calculation intensive stored procs and big stored procs? When I talked to our Architects they said every small sized stored proc can be written using SQL CLR and more over forget about the classic TSQL stored procs and get used to write SQL CLR when ever writing any database related stuff. And also there are so many articles that discussed about the advantages of SQL CLR over the TSQL but I would appreciate if some one could put few bulletted points why do you think SQL CLR is more powerful. Please advise.Thanks in advance,-L
Hi I am creating some dynamic sql by passing variouse parametrs to my Stored Procedure. One of my Parameters is string has lots of values seperated by a comma to help build an 'IN' statement. SET @SQL = 'SELECT * FROM areas'SET @p1 = '10,20'If @p1 IS NOT NULLBEGINSET @sSQL = @sSQL + ' WHERE (Areas IN (''' + Replace(@p1,',',''',''') + '''))'END The above query runs perfecly well in Query Analyser, however when I put it into my ASP.NET application I get an error of "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." So I think I need to do some sort of casting or Converting but im not sure how to do it. Or do I need to use a INSTRING? I did manage to work out a method by using the follwoing SELECT * FROM Areas WHERE PATINDEX('%,' + CAST(ArType AS VARCHAR) + ',%',',' + @p1 + ',') > 0 But I cant seem to convert the above line into coherent dynamic statement. My feeble attempt is below but I keep getting errors SET @sql = @sql + ' WHERE PATINDEX(''%,'' + CAST(ArType AS VARCHAR) + '',%'','','' + @p1 + '','') > 0' IM strugging to understand all the '''. My TSQL is pretty basic, any help would be much appreciated Many thanks in advance

I need help with a query that I want to incorporate into a scheduled DTS within SQL Server 2000. I have a process that brings in records from an Excel file, compares that day's records with any related information already stored in the database, then saves a table of joined records. This leaves me with any matches to the data. I need to filter out all but the most current record, which would be identified by a column named [DATE]. Ex:
Table tblMatchedRecords
M BLah Blah2 [DATE] 1 this that 20040101 2 this them 20040102 3 this that 20040630
In this example, I would like to have the record with [DATE] = 20040630 kept, and the others deleted. All columns do not always have to match exactly. I want to be able to specify which fields that need to match and pull only the latest date.
@amount=100000 (any big int) @pamount=100000 @a1,@a2 - thorugh @25 -- each a bigint @p1,@p2,@p3 @id - int
if @id is an odd number I need to randomly change @amount-@a1 (randomly to @a1 - @a25 so it ends up being any of 25 values) and then @pamount randomly= to either @p1,@p2 or @p3
Can someone help me do the sql for this? it will be within my stored procedure
