Hi All,
I have a column in my table like so:
'D4B00 L2A00 L3A00 L6C00 P1C00 L2A28 P4B00 '
How do I check in SQL if any pieces have the first 3 character the same. In the above case, L2A is present twice. I need to do this because I need display disctinct items, therefore L2A needs to be displayed only once.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I have a string column in a DB where it's values contain the following midway through the string ([DOCUMENTGUID] is a uniqueidentifier that is different for each row):
<a href="../downloadDoc.aspx?dg=[DOCUMENTGUID]" target="_blank">
I would like to replace this part of the string with a different piece of text.
I know that I should be using PATINDEX and REPLACE functions but I don't know how to utilise.
I have a database table that was designed by someone else, and I'm trying to see if I can normalize the pattern. Here's the dummy table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[BadTox](
[PatientID] [int] NULL,
[Cycle] [tinyint] NULL,
[ALOPECIA] [tinyint] NULL,
[Causality1] [tinyint] NULL,
[Code] ....
All the column names in upper case are actually symptom names, and in those columns are values {NULL, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and they belong in a column, so the normalized structure should be like this:
CREATE TABLE Symptom (
PatientID INT NOT NULL,
Cycle TINYINT NOT NULL,
SymptomName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, -- from the source column *name*
Grade TINYINT NOT NULL -- from the value in the column with the name in uppercase
PRIMARY KEY (PatientID, Cycle, SymptomName));
I can untwist the repeating groups with the code I borrowed from Kenneth Fisher's article [ here ], but the part I'm having a harder time with is grabbing the information that's still left in the column name and integrating it into the solution...
I can retrieve all the column names that are in uppercase using this:
DECLARE @db_id int;
DECLARE @object_id int;
SET @db_id = DB_ID(N'SCRIDB');
SET @object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'SCRIDB.dbo.BadTox');
SELECT name AS column_name
, column_id AS col_order
FROM sys.all_columns
WHERE name = UPPER(name) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS
AND object_id = @object_id;
but I can't figure out how to work it into this (that I built by mimicking Kenneth Fisher's article...):
ALTER PROC [dbo].[UnpivotMaxGradeUsingCrossApply]
AS
SELECT PatientID
, Toxicity
, MAX(Grade) AS MaxGrade
[code]....
The problem is that I need to extract the column names (where ToxicityName[n] would be). I can do that by querying the sys.all_columns view, but I can't figure out how to integrate the two pieces. About the only thing I have even dreamed up is to build the VALUES(...) statements dynamically from the values returned by the system view.
So how do I get both the value from the ToxicityName[n] column and the column name into my final data query?
When i use the following querry i get no result when i know i should be getting one.
Select *
from table1
where '16bbbT1' >= StartStr and '16bbbT1' <= EndStr
When i use
Select *
from table1
where '16bbbT1' >= StartStr
I get all the values above 16bbbT1
and conversly when i use
Select *
from table1
where '16bbbT1' <= EndStr
i get all the values less then 16bbbT1
I need to plug both where clause
can anyone help
need to look through hundreds of rows and compare two columns, and pull out rows where the date difference is 7 days
problem is one column stores the date as a string and values in that column look like this:
01/12/2007 10:15 pm
or
01/12/2007
the other column stores the date as seconds since 1/1/1970, which is good and easy to work with..
how do I write the select?
any ideas
thnx

View 2 Replies View RelatedOk, here is what i'm trying to do and its driving me nuts.
ok,
1) I have a proc that runs and needs to validate the user prior to running - this proc is called from an hand held device
2) the id and password are being passed as "clear text" but the password is stored in the database table hashed.
Is there anything on the db side that can get the hash value from the password column of the aspnet_membership table and compare it to the password being passed in to this proc? I have suggested several options to the handheld developer but nothing. This has to be done on the database side.
so,
username and password are passed to proc from handheld.
proc needs to validate ther user in the aspnet_membership table
if user id and password are valid execute the stored procedure
is this possible? if so can ANYONE point me to some examples of this being done?
I have used a query statement with the following WHERE string to 'Fill' a dataset.
"AND (A.ApptsDate > '" & strApptPreDate & "' OR (A.ApptsDate = '" & strApptPreDate & "' AND A.ApptsTime >= '" & strApptPreTime & "' ))" & _ and strApptPreTime is defined as:Dim strApptPreTime As String = SomaShared.strPadTime(CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Hour) + ":" + CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Minute))
Somehow, the dataset showed only the ApptsTime after 10 am. After more than 2 weeks of debugging, I still can see a dataset watch for > 10 amAppsTime only. Now I am guessting, the problem is 9 is different from 10 - 16, it all because 9 is single digit. Then I check the data type settings for these variables. Here are what I found:
In SQL Server Agent job, the ApptsTime data was 'inserted' by @NewApptTimes, which is declared as char(5).In SQL Server database, the ApptsTime was defined as nvarchar(15).
My question are: 1. The reason why there were no 9 am data for the dataset, is becasue 9 am of nvarchar(15) is not > 8:30 of strApptPreTime? 2. If the answer to the quation 1 is yes, how do I define AppsTime and/or strApptPreTime?
TIA,Jeffrey

what is the best way of comparing image/varbinary and nullable column in sql server?
this is what i do to find out the different in image column in 2 tables sharing the same structure:
Select *

Left Join TblB c On
s.Id = c.Id And Coalesce(Convert(VARBINARY(MAX), c.Image),'') <> Coalesce(Convert(VARBINARY(MAX), s.Image),'')
Where c.Id IS NULL
alternatively, i was thinking to compare the column with the size, but worry about the accuracy:
Select *
From TblA s
Left Join TblB c On
s.Id = c.Id And ISNULL(Datalength(c.Image),0) <> ISNULL(Datalength(s.Image),0) Where c.Id IS NULL

OK, I have all of my SS2k sproc scripts saved as

Because EM scripted them out that way
Now that we are using MS, it doesn't recognize the script, it doesn't highlight the code, and doesn't connect to a server
Can a change this somewhere?

I need to determine if a value for a group of rows is the same or different and I am not sure where to begin. I am fairly new to writing T-Sql code. I am working with SQL Server 2005. This is a work assignment; I am not a student.
I have two tables: One for Course and another for CourseDays. As the Course table implies, it lists courses for a school. The CourseDays tables has a row for each day a course is held. For instance, one course maybe held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so there would be three rows, one row for each day. A given course could be held in a different room for each day. I am trying to write a query that returns one row for each course, and if the room number is the same for each day the class is held, return that room number in the row, else return 'Various'.
Course table:
CourseID, Desc
1 English
2 History
3 Science
CourseDays table:
CourseID, Day, RoomID
1 M 320
1 W 445
1 F 680
2 T 123
2 Th 123
3 M 514
3 T 514
3 W 521
3 Th 901
3 F 521
Expected results:
CourseID, Desc, RoomID
1 English Various
2 History 123
3 Science Various

I'm not a full-time DBA, so excuse my style of expressing my question.I have a database which has 2 tables in SQL 2005. Both these tables have similar column names, EXCEPT for new extra columns in FY2007_DATA. I can visually see the difference in columns in Database Diagrams. My goal is to :- I want to compare FY2007 tbl column names to FY2006 column names and display only those columns as results that do not match.Tbl 1 :- FY2006_DATA Tbl 2:-
FY2007_DATA
With online reading and help I have managed to get this script to do exactly opposite of what i want. Below is the query
/* This query compares the column names from two tables and displays the ones that have an exact match. It does not care for case-sensitiveness */
Select a.Table_Name, a.Column_Name, (b.Table_Name), (b.column_name)
From [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS a
Join [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS b on a.Column_Name = b.Column_Name
Where a.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2006_DATA'
And b.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA'
AND a.Column_Name IN
(Select Column_Name = LEFT(c.column_name, 20) FROM
[H1B_2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS c WHERE c.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA' )
When I change "AND a.Column_Name IN.." to "AND a.Column_Name NOT IN.." so that the results will (should) display the extra columns in FY2007, in fact I do not see any results, but query executes perfect.
How can I achieve my goal.?
Thank you
I'm building a site, and while stress testing it I received a few exceptions when the SQL Server was under relatively high load. Originally I was opening the connection when required in a particular Sub as follows (and then closing it when I was finished with it):
If Not MyConnection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then MyConnection.Open()
The probelm however was that from time to time the connection state was Opening instead of Closed or Open. So I am considering using the following piece of code instead:
If MyConnection.State = ConnectionState.Connecting Then Do Until MyConnection.State = ConnectionState.Open
Loop ElseIf MyConnection.State = ConnectionState.Broken Or MyConnection.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then MyConnection.Open() End If
I'm a little worried about the Do...Loop in there, but I don't see how it should be a problem. Any thoughts?

This is retruning me all the rows that have 'M2'.
declare @code varchar (2)set @code = 'M2'select tier from companywhere tier like '%'+@code+'___ %'
