Could anyone explain why this happens:
-- All outputs works but only the first should
select 'works' where '1' = '1'
select 'works' where '1' = '1 '
select 'works' where '1 ' = '1'
Seems to me like trailing blanks are automatically trimmed, why?
I am trying to use the RTRIM command but it does not seem to be working. If I perform
select rtrim(name) from table
it returns the row with the spaces in it anyway. ???
If Rtrim doesn't catch space at the end is there a way to catch strings that match but don't seem to get selected correctly when matching?
View 4 Replies View RelatedCould somebody please give me a syntax that I can use to trim spaces. I have used and I still have the spaces. :
UPDATE MAP SET ROAD = RTRIM (STREET)
UPDATE MAP SET ROAD = LTRIM (STREET)
We are trying to clean up spaces at road intersections. Thanks for your assistance.
I have some data that contains spaces both before and after the text string, and now I'm wondering what would be the best method to remove these blanks (sometimes there are no blanks, so I can't check with a specifik width)?
Is it possible to do something like:
set foo = ltrim(rtrim(foo))
or do I have to split it into 2 steps?
This trimming will be done in update & insert statements

How do i remove carriage returns in SQL Server ? each of the lines have a carriage return as well as in front and back of the text.

I've tried the
update test.dbo.test
set bodytext1 = ltrim(rtrim(bodytext1))
but the whitespace/carriage returns still exists in the back and front of the text ? Anyone got any ideas ?
Hi!
I want to put a trigger on insert (bulk insert). It´s supposed to do RTRIM and LTRIM on the incoming data to a specific column in a table. The data comes from a textfile.
What to do? Totally stuck..
Thankful for all help!

You all have been so much help, but I've discovered yet another problem. I'm trying to clean up my table using the following command:
UPDATE dbo.TableName
SET First_Name = LTrim(RTrim(First_Name))But it does not seem to have any effect. Thoughts? Thanks!
I have a DistributorInvoiceNumber that can end with in 'R', 'A', 'CRR' or 'CR'.I am trying to write a case statement like so:
CASE WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],1) = 'A'
THEN 'ADJ'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],1) = 'R'
THEN 'REV'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],3) = 'CRR'
THEN 'REV'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],2) = 'CR'
THEN 'CREDIT'
ELSE NULL END AS 'Status'
For the most part the code is working, with the exception of the fields that just end in 'R'. An example of this is 471268R, 2525125901CRR, 11100325230CR
Basically if the number ends with an A, then its an Adjustment, if it ends with JUST an R, then its a Reversal; if it ends with just a CR then it is a Credit and if it ends with CRR then it is a Reversal (Credit Reversal). How can I differentiate between the different R's since three of them end with R? Would I use a RTRIM command somehow?
I understand that for SQL Server rtrim is not needed in where clause equates because SQL Server
automatically trims the spaces. Is rtrim necessary when comparing to a host variable since rtrim is a deterministic function? It it needed in the following example
Select ....
where
TEXT = rtrim(:I--HV-001)
TEXT is a varchar column in the SQL Server database and it is getting compared to the host variable.
I am loading a dimension using a distinct query.There are duplicates coming through and the only differnce is a trailing space on one of the columns.
RTRIM is not removing the space.
how i can fix it?
Hi,I have erronous white space at the end of my 'description' field within my'product' table. I tried using the RTRIM function but it won't let mebecause it is a TEXTBLOB (text) field.Can anyone show me how to write a query that will update all my rowsautomatically?I'm using SQL Server 2000.Thanks!
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen is RTRIM needed in a Select ... where clause. I noticed that if I have a column named TEXT varchar(17) which is varchar and in the where clause I state where
TEXT = 'This is the text'
or I state
TEXT = 'This is the text ' followed by 4 spaces
The equate still works - so when do I need RTRIM?
Do I need RTRIM for a host variable:
...where TEXT = RTRIM(:VAR_001)
if the host variable is the same length as the TEXT column field in the SQL Server 2005 database?
I'm not sure about why I'm not able to remove spaces even after trimming them. Below is the result of query I'm usning.
select distinct LTRIM(RTRIM(Promotion_Code)) Promotion_Code
--, count(Promotion_code)
from dbo.Marketing_Promotion_Tb
where Promotion_code like '%1BTPIZZA%'
Result :
Promotion_Code Length
1BTPIZZA 10
1BTPIZZA 8

Hi,
We are working on creating an automatic backup tool for our web application. Our goal is to run a script that "zips" the virtual host/application directory. We have the script to zip the application directory, but is there a way to run a SQL Backup and then zip the output easily? This is where we are struggling.
Any Suggestions are appreciated

I am getting an automatic rollback in a transaction that fails to insert a row, via a trigger, due to a duplicate key. The transaction is automatically rolled back and unless the error correctly handled a 'partial update' occurs. Why in the example below is the transaction automatically rolled back (statements 1 to 3) and is there any way of knowing what errors generate an auto rollback. For example if the duplicate key error occurs on the insert into table B below, and not the triggered update, then no auto rollback occurs.
Begin Tran -- 1
insert into A values ('A1') -- 2 updates OK
insert into B values ('B1') -- 3 updates OK
-- triggers insert into B_Hist -- 4 Fails with Duplicate Key error
insert into C values ('C1') -- 5 updates OK
Commit Tran -- 6 3902 error No corresponding Begin
Thanks.
Hi all,

I don't know very much about Sql Server and need help.
I have two primary keys called AirlineCode e ID in the same table.
This id is an automatic number. So I don't need to input this value, since
it's created automatic. What I need is this ID be created automatic but
for each new AirlineCode the ID starts as 1 again. For example :
If I put AirlineCode = 220 then ID starts as 1. In another row AirlineCode is
also 220, then ID is 2. But in another row AirlineCode = 500, then this
automatic number come back to 1.
then the rows can be like this :
AirlineCode ID
220 1
220 2
500 1
220 3
300 1
500 2
I think I have to create a script to make this, but I don't kwon how...

I have two sql 2000 server tables one is active and one is terminated (I inherited this db) and I was thinking of having the active table automatically update the terminated table when an employee is terminated. Access is at the front end and in the form of the active table theres a drop down text box that has the employement status(active, terminated, on leave...etc) so when the status turns into terminated i want the acitve table to send those records to the terminated table, ( the data in both tables are not exactly the same). looking into a trigger or stored procedure. This is the first time I've done this so I'm doing some reasearch on how to handle it. Any suggestions
View 14 Replies View Relatedwell as I get further into this project of automatic updates I'm fining more and more barriers. The combo list box which indicates whether the employee is terminated or active might be a problem with sql since you cant create a Row source and a Row source type in a sql table. that combo box exsist in the properties of the form. The Row Source Type is a Value List. Shoot :(
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm a SQL Server 7/2000 DBA and manages about 40 servers in different networks. Every morning I check through the Enterprise Manager if all Jobs (backup, maintenance, etc.) have run successfully. This check costs me 1 hour per day.
Because of a reorganization I've got some new college's and lost some college's. My new college's think this is to much work, so it should be automated. They only want the failed jobs to report an error on a website or something like that, and don't want to check 40 servers. I don't agree in this, because I'm affraid I'm going to miss some errors.
How do you do your checks every morning?

-if new order is made, i want to update field date_of_change with getdate().
i want to put it in a job with some trigger or something that will recognize instant new insert.

Hi there,
I am testing the db mirroring, making sure it will auto failover. I've stopped the SQL services on my principal and then I looked at the mirror db is says it's restoring. It stayed like that for 10 min before I enabled the mirroring again. Anyone knows why it's not failing over??????
Here's my setup: SQL 2005 Standard, Server 1 Principal, Server 2 Mirror & Witness.
I have initiated database backup plan in 2005,occuring every 2 days.backup plan worked for the first 2 schedules,later backup plans is not working.I have checked the time and date setups,its all fine.how to solve.
