Aug 17, 2012Basically I need to insert underscore in between a string when there is a space in the content of the string. For Example say we have string 'ABC XYZ', I've to convert it into something like this 'ABC_XYZ'. Some strings do not have space in between and I should not add underscore in such cases. I'm working with MSSQL Server 2008 version.

Sep 13, 2007Hi,
I'm not a programmer by trade, so please be gentle with me! I am trying to add or insert data to the beginning of an existing string of data. The string is in one field in a table, with various options seperated by [ ].
An example of the current data is:
[Eye Color:TEST][Hair Color:TEST]
and I would like to add the data [# Persons:1] to the beginning of the string so it looks like this:
[# Persons:1][Eye Color:TEST][Hair Color:TEST]
Can anyone help me with the best way to do this?
Adding A Leading Character To A String
Jan 27, 2006I'm looking for a string function (or any other quick way) for adding a leading zero to make a string two characters long. For example, if the input is '12' the result will be '12' but if the input is '1', the result will be '01'.
It's actually about making a month number two characters long but I've understood there is no way to make Datediff() to fix it for me.
I thought there might be a string function for this, like there is in many programming languages, but I can't find anything in BOL. I want to keep it simple, because it will be used in a Select and a Group By for aggregating data based on time intervals (year + month).
And, I assume I can't make Datepart() to return year + month directly, only one of the parts at a time.

SQL Server 2012 :: Adding A Number To A String To Create Series

If the EventID is 31206, and I want to have subEvents, I would like have the following sequence. In this case, lets say I have 4 sub Events so I want to check the EventID and then produce:

How can I check what the EventID is, then concatenate a sequence number by the EventID?

Apostrophe Usage
Jun 14, 2004Ok, I still have some uncertainty as to just exactly how this whole apostrophe thing works with databases. I understand that it is a reserved character and so when a sql query runs into one of these creatures it looks at it as something other than a normal character.
I am working primarily in vb/asp/sql server with a little bit of access. I am familiar with the instrinsic 'Replace' function and I use it but I still have occassional problems.
I would like any information I can get on just exactly why/how this thing works and how to work-around the apostrophe when writing to, reading from, and validating data from sql server/access/any databases.
Thanks!
Problem With Apostrophe
May 7, 2007I am having weird trouble with READING data from my Access database where the field has an apostrophe - but only when I display the field in a textbox.
For example, the field "Don't do this" becomes "Don" when my SQL query outputs the result:
campaignID = rscampaign("campaign")
response.write "<input type='hidden' name='campaignid1' value='" & campaignID & "'>"
If I output to regular HTML (e.g. in a <P> tag), the field displays correcly.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem? I can't figure out why the textbox would be creating this problem...

SqlDataSource : Dynamic SQL : Apostrophe
Sep 20, 2007OK so I need to use a dynamic SQL statement in a SqlDataSource object because I need to pass in the column name. I'm having trouble accounting for the apostophes I have to interpret literals within the statement. This is connecting to an Oracle database.
This is what I originally tried...
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT m.YIE, :selecteditem, m.ENDTIME FROM MyMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE 'YC%' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE 'YCX%' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="selecteditem" ControlID="itemlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
And the second column returned as :selecteditem for the column name and the value of itemlabel.text (what I wanted to be the column that was queried) as the value in each of the rows of that column. So I tried dynamic SQL to put the value of itemlabel.txt as the column to be queried, but I'm not sure how to get the query to read the literals. How can I accomplish this?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MY_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="EXEC('SELECT m.YIE, '+selectedbin+', m.ENDTIME FROM MMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE '+paramlike+' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE '+paramnotlike+' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)')"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="selectedbin" ControlID="binlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramlike" ControlID="Label1" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramnotlike" ControlID="Label2" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
This errors to "illegal variable name"
Can someone help me out please? Thanks a lot.

Add Apostrophe To Column In Result Set
Feb 5, 2004I have a brain teaser for you all.
The end result: I need one of the columns in my result set (col2) to have a preceeding apostrophe (i.e., '001234 ).
The problem: I am building my query as a string and then using the EXEC() function to execute it. For example:
SET @strSQL = 'SELECT col1, col2 FROM mytable'
EXEC(@strSQL)
Just to tame any answers that might not be directed to the specific question, the query Must be built as a string and then executed.
I have been unable to obtain the solution and I am wondering if it is even possible?

How To Insert Text That Contains An Apostrophe??
Sep 4, 2004Hi there,
I have an access 2000 db and in one of my tables I need to store some text that sometimes contains an apostrophe.
My problem is, everytime my program tries to insert text containing an apostrophe, the program crashes...
The insert statments I am using look like this:
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO myTable (Text) VALUES ('" & stringContainingApostrophe & "')"
I've tried checking the text for apostrophes and replacing them with an ecape character + apostrophe ("'") but that doesn't work either...
It seems like I should be able to store text that contains an apostrophe... Am i missing something here?
Does anyone have any ideas?? (Thanks in advance)

Sep 30, 2002Hello,
I'm using Visual Basic 6 to insert data into SQL Server 2000 via a stored procedure. Apostrophes are giving me problems. Using T-SQL it works fine.
Following is the code:
=======================
cn.ConnectionString = "Driver=" & cnDriver & ";Server=" & cnServer & ";Database=" & cnDatabase & ";UID=" & cnUID & ";PWD=" & cnPWD
cn.Open
'TURNING QUOTES OFF allows a literal string to be delimited by double quotes and to accept an apostrophe
'cn.Execute "SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF" (This works using T-SQL statements only)
'set the reference to the ADO Command object
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
'Set the command object properties
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cn
pDocClass = "Apostrophe's test"
'THIS STORED PROC. INSERTS DATA INTO THE 'INDEX_DTL' AND 'CSC_TRANS' TABLES

MsgBox cmd.CommandText
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc

=======================
The above works great as long as the pDocClass field does not contain an apostrophe. In the stored procedure, pDocClass is defined as @pDocClass char (40).
Following is the error I receive:
"Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '{'
Any help with handling an apostrophe in the CommandText above would be greatly appreciated!
