Changing Word Doc Text Using T-SQL
Sep 13, 2007
Hi,
i was checking books online and run into the sp_OAxxxx stored procs that can give us access to a OLE Object.
I am currently developing a VB.Net app that uses a word template to create word documents. So, for example ,i we suppose that the template is :
-----Template start -------
This document was created by <!_author_> on <!_date_>
-----Template end --------
then, the created document would be :
-----Created doc start -------
This document was created by justsarter on 09/13/2007
-----Created doc end --------
All the data are fetched from a database and i have to make muptiple calls to it ,not to mention opening and closing word.application object.
I wonder if that kind of text manipulation in the document can be performed on the server using an SP
Thx

How can I replace more than 1, different character, in the same value / cell?
e.g. ångermüller should become angermueller (å to a, and ü to ue)
Multiple combinations of special characters are possible in 1 word: é and á, or ö and à etc etc
Is there a way to do this?

I have a text field that contains multiple words. Is there a way with SQL to relace a single word with another?
for example:
FIELD : CompanyName
DATA : Microsoft Corp.
DATA : IBM Corp.
etc...
DATA : Canon Corp. of America
How can I run a routine to just REPLACE "Corp." with "Corporation" ?
Thanks for your help!

Finding numbers of occurrences of a string of characters
in a column of TEXT datatype.
DDL of involved table txt:
create table txt (pk int, txtcol text) -- datatype of pk doesn't matter
declare @word varchar(80) set @word='help'
declare @pk int, @count int, @i int, @dl int, @wl int
set @wl=len(@word)
declare abc cursor for select pk from txt
where patindex('%'+@word+'%',txtcol)>0 order by pk
open abc fetch next from abc into @pk
while @@fetch_status=0
begin
select @dl=datalength(txtcol) from txt where pk=@pk
select @i=patindex('%'+@word+'%',txtcol)+@wl from txt where pk=@pk
set @count=1
while @i<@dl
begin
select @count=@count+(len(substring(txtcol,@i,8000))-
len(replace(substring(txtcol,@i,8000),@word,'')))/@wl
from txt where pk=@pk
set @i=@i+8001-@wl
end
select pk=@pk, occurrences=@count
fetch next from abc into @pk
end
close abc deallocate abc
pk occurrences
----------- -----------
1 1
pk occurrences
----------- -----------
2 2
pk occurrences
----------- -----------
3 11

I have a table with approx 1200 names in the format of "John Doe" I need to edit the names to the format of "Doe, John"
Any easy way in SQL to do this or am I better off dumping to text file, making the changes in another app and then updating the table?

Impact on performance of changing Text column size.
However, many of them were regarding older releases of SQL Server.
Does the architecture in 2012, 2014 releases make this less of an issue ?
In other words, why bother going from Varchar(1000) to Varchar(50) ?
I'm just thinking maybe there is column compression automatically now.

Hi - I am changing a field from type nvarchar to type text, given thatI need to store strings longer than 255 characters. To do this Ichange the data type in SQL Server, then I change the parameter code inthe calling procedure, as per below:cmd.Parameters.Append(cmd.CreateParameter("@title", adVarWChar,adParamInput, 255, title));becomes:cmd.Parameters.Append(cmd.CreateParameter("@title", adLongVarWChar,adParamInput, 1073741823, title));However, when I do this, for some reason, the field is still limited to255 characters - when I try to update the field with 256 characters,the error 'Application uses a value of the wrong type for the currentoperation.' occurs.Why is this? I've checked that the correct data is contained in theparameter. When I look at the data in the database, the column inquestion shows the content, whereas the next column, which has alwaysbeen of type text, shows '<LongText>' - does this mean anything? Do Ineed to do something special to convert the column from nvarchar totext?Many thanks,Iain

Does anyone have any idea?
Here's my sql comand: (I'm using asp.net vb script do develop this system)

Hi all,
I work for a financial company where we send out lots of correspondence to clients on a daily and monthly basis. This would typically be something like a financial report, account statements, etc. We've decided to use PDF as the format which these documents must be in when our clients receive them.
Our marketing and sales departments designs the templates of these documents using Microsoft Word. They can save these MS Word documents in the Word XML format (either 2003 or 2007). We want it in XML format, because it is text based, and we can therefore string replace the content to update the template with a client€™s information. In the same token RTF would also do, but the file size when converted to RTF is a problem.
What I am looking for is a way to convert this XML into PDF using something like XSL-FO - i.e. we do not want to use the Word Interopt on our Production Server, firstly it is a little slow and secondly the production server is unmanned and we cannot allow a WinWord.EXE process to not close successfully for some or other reason.
I've tried a number of companies' evaluation software to try and achieve this (converting the WordML to PDF via XSL-FO), but so far no luck.
Does anybody know of a stylesheet out there with which I will be able to achieve this? Or an alternative method of converting MS Word files into PDF without using Word to do it?
Thank you in advance.
Regards

Hi there, i need to know how to cut a string to the nearest word. For example, i've got an article and i need to extract just a part of the beginning, i could use LEFT([content], 250) but there is little chance this will cut on a word. Therefore i need to know if there is a function that will cut to the nearest word in T-SQL or i will simply put a summary field in the database. (I prefer to generate the summary on the fly if possible)

Hi,
I was hoping somone could help. I need to count the number of words in a specfic column in a table if i didn't know what the words said.
I can count the number of words using
DECLARE @String VARCHAR(4000)
SET @String = ' words to be counted'
SELECT LEN(@String) - LEN(REPLACE(@String, ' ', '')) + 1
AS Results
but this requires me to know what the words are and not count them from the column.

Hi all,
I took a search through the archives for related topics (and got Des in trouble along the way :( ) but couldn't find a directly related thread. If I missed one, feel free to tell me where to go (hey...watch that...only if I MISSED one!)
I wrote what is, essentially, a data verification stored proc that goes out to each of FOUR servers we have - each one running a mirror database. In a nutshell, there is one table that contains a row with a column in it that, if everything has gone well in the daily processing in all 4 databases, will match identically between all 4 DBs.
So, that said, here is the output: Job 'Index - Verify PortfolioIndex Across Servers' : Step 1, 'PortfolioIndex Check across all servers and portfolios' : Began Executing 2004-11-09 15:30:00

This was cut-n-pasted here from a log file created by the actual SQL SERVER 2000 job created to run the afore-mentioned stored procedure.
After all that...my quandry is this:
What is the best way to send this info out in an email format to interested parties? Currently I have the job send out an email notification on completion, but that still requires my lazy buttocks to go look at the log file in the job (or, more accurately, on the server in the logfile directory).
I want to get the actual DATA as shown above into the email.
As I see it, my options are:
(1) write the data out to a flat file during the run (or, as is done now, into a log file by the SQL Server scheduled job) and then attach that FILE to the email - this still requires my lazy buttocks to OPEN the attachment that comes with the email.
ro (2) write the message out a line at a time to a table with an IDENTITY column (used to order them on the select) and a VARCHAR(128) column that each line in the log would be written to. This option allows me to just do a SELECT in the call to xp_sendmail to get the data into the actual email...but I just really hate the idea of creating a permanent table for this cheesy solution.
I tried it with a temp table within my stored proc, but of course, when I made the call to xp_Sendmail, it can't see my temp table in order to select from (mind you, it's not that I mind USING a cheesy table, just that I don't want it to have a lifespan longer than the time I need to use it and toss it aside)
I know the common denominator here is "My Lazy Buttocks", but I really can't understate the laziness of my buttocks, so this is a valid concern ;)
Any thoughts? How do people get status messages like this into an email without using an attachment or a cheesy middleman table?
Sorry, as always, about the miniseries...just trying to set the mood before popping the question ;)

Hi
Does anyone know if you can specify certain characters to tokenise the search text(other than space and punctuation).
for example, id like to use `:` as a delimiter, word1:word2:word3 etc
Thanks in advance

Yesterday I installed MS SQL 2000 for the first time and have no idea what I'm doing.
I have been sent a database and asked to convert this to MS Access, for most of the data that is ok and I have already managed to do this. My problem is that the database contains MS Word documents stored in some of the tables (field type - image). I need to extract these from the database and get them back to individual Word files, ideally with a file name that relates them to the primary key of the table from which they came.
I have less that 24 hours experience with SQL server and would be very grateful if anyone can explain how I can do this.
Thank you for your help
Shane
