I can't create unique index like that:
1 - create table abc ( colZ varchar(10) )
2 - insert into abc values ( "test")
3 - insert into abc values ("Test")
4 - create unique index idx_abc on abc ( colZ ) -- This doesnt work
.... duplicate key was found for object name abc......
Is not there difference between "Test" and "test"?
Can I work around this?
cheers,
For example,
select fieldA form tableA where fieldA = 'aaa'
I got following output
fieldA
---------
aaa
aAa
AAA
AAa
...
if I want select only the lower case 'aaa', how can I do that?
Ho can I convert first letters of a string to Upper Case (i.e. UNITED KINGDOM - Untited Kingdom). I have country names table which has all entries in uper case. This makes a select box very larg and unproportional.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn the database, most of our cities are stored in all upper case. For reporting purposes, I need to have them returned as upper/lower. I used the below function, which works great for one word cities. However I can’t figure out how to get it to capitalize the 1st letter of each word, for addresses containing multiple names such as Rancho Santa Margarita.
Upper(left(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY,1))+lower(substring(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY, 2, LEN(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY)))As ADDRESSCITY
This returns back: ‘Rancho santa margarita’; I need it to return ‘Rancho Santa Margarita’. Is this possible to do at the query level?
I'm still haven't resolved the issue with displaying information from a SQL database. The text I'm displaying is in ALL CAPS in the SQL database, and I'm trying to convert it so that when I display it in gridview, The First Letter Of Each Word Is Capitalized, as apposed to ALL CAPS. I've tried the text-transform feature of CSS, but I noticed in a SQL book there are LOWER() & UPPER() string functions. The ideal thing to do then, would be to do some select statement that converts all the incoming text to lowercase, then use the CSS text-transform: capitalize , to convert the first letter of each word to caps. Basically, I need a select statement or something that converts my sql material to lowercase. Thanks.

I want to search for alphanumeric values between an upper and lower bound in a sql database.For example: search for a serial number like pvf-456-3b. Upper bound is q, lower bound is g.I should then get every serial number starting with g - q.If possible the bounds should be more specific like "search for serial number between gt2 and qy"Can anybody help me out?
I need to split a string in two if there are lowercase characters atthe end of it.For example:'AAPLpr' becomes 'AAPL' and 'pr''Ta' becomes 'T' and 'a''MSFT' becomes 'MSFT' and '''TAPA' becomes 'TAPA' and ''I am using SQL 2000. I read about "collate Latin1_General_CS_AS" butnot sure if I can use that outside of a select statement.Thank you in advance for any help.

My database is case insensitive. However, the application is case sensitive for the data in the table.
I need to find out the data from the table where the data is stored in lower case.
Here is the sample data:
Table: inv_manager
column: sku varchar(5)
Data: 1134X
1135x
1123a
b145Y
I just need query to return row 2, 3, 4.
Here is my query:
select sku from inv_manager where sku like lower('%[a-z]%')
The problem is it returns all the rows from the table including first one.
How can I return just the data with lower case ?
Thanks
I need to write a select statement that take the upper table and select the lower table.

Folks,
what script must I use, as a part of CREATE TABLE, to automatically convert characters to UPPER case on insert?
I wrote <CHECK (country = UPPER (country)> in the CREATE TABLE, which was wrong,
because the values were still in the lower case.
The sample script is:
CREATE TABLE address
(street varchar(40),
city varchar(20),
state char (2),
zip varchar (10),
country varchar (20))
When a user types "Canada", I want the inserted value be "CANADA"
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am new to SQL and, unfortunately, actually do my work in Access 2003, but I have a question.
This is an example of what the data I am working with looks like:
AALADIN
AA-TACH EH65X, EH65V (V-Twin)
AA-TACH w/Robin 20 & 20.5 h.p. OHV
AA-TACH w/Wisc.-Robin EY21
ABI CONTRACTOR w/Honda 20 h.p. (V-Twin)
The all caps text strings at the beginning of the field need to end up in a separate field than the mixed strings, and the mixed strings need to stay together. The field length varies, as do the lengths of the all caps text strings. There are a lot of records, so I would be interested to know if there was a way to proceed without manually editing each line.

I have a problem. I need to rename all columns of a database to uppercase. Since SQL SERVER 2005 does not support changing system tables is there a smooth way to do this? Has anyone ideas for a script? point me to the right direction.
I have found the stored procedure sp_rename which could be useful (or would it be better to alter the tables)...
So any help would be appriciated very much...

Almost all of our character fields are stored in upper-case. Is there an easy way to force SQL Server char and varchar fields to upper-case? Something I can do in SQL Server instead of in the client? It needs to apply to any new records.
There are some exceptions (email addresses for one). I don't mind going through each field and changing something.
Thanks!
Hi,
Can we set the Uper/Lower case in server wide in SQL server 2000 as like case sensitive.
Thanks,

While creating a table, can we default a column to be UPPER. So that even if we insert a lower case, it should be converted to UPPER case.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOur sql server 2005 database is receiving data from a third part program over which we have no control. We need to be able to automatically convert data entered in one column of one table to UPPER case only.
How can this be done in the table itself?
An IBM Global Services consultant is telling my client that in order to have SAP BI read any data from any other application supported by SQL Server 2005, that all tables and fields MUST be in UPPER CASE. This would mean that SAP BI could not read ANY data from AdventureWorks (which everyone needs ) but more importantly from 95% of applications written and stored on SQL Server. I find this to be ludicrious, frankly, but don't know how to find out if it is true. Anyone?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi There,
I have a column which contain alphanumeric values:
aab123add234cdf423dej553edg543
If I try to return records between these values 'a' and 'e' it will only go as far as d. (first letter)
aab123add234cdf423dej553
This is true if I use where value between a and e
Or if I use greater than equal to operators
Any help would be great.

Got a query taking too much time because of lack of cross columns MAX/MIN functions. Consider a similar example where a View is required to reflect distribution of Water among different towns each having four different levels of distribution reservoir tanks of different sizes:In this case the basic table has columns like:
PurchaseDate
TownName
QuantityPurchased
Tank1_Size
Tank2_Size
Tank3_Size
Tank4_Size
Now suppose I need a query to distribute QuantityPurchased in the Four additional Columns computed on the basis depending on the sizes declared in the last four fields,in the same order of preference.For example: I have to use IIFs to check: whether the quantity purchased is less than Tank_A if yes then Qty Purchased otherwise Tank_A_Size itself for Tank_A_Filled
then again IIF but this time to check:
Whether the quantity purchased less Tank_A_Filled (Which again needs to be calculated as above) is less than Tank_B if yes then Tank_A_Filled (Which again needs to be calculated as above) otherwise Tank_B_Size itself for Tank_B_Filled
HiI have a problem trying to compare a string value in a WHERE statement. Below is the sql statement. ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedure1(@oby char,@Area char,@Startrow INT,@Maxrow INT, @Minp INT,@Maxp INT,@Bed INT
)
ASSELECT * FROM
(
SELECT row_number() OVER (ORDER BY @oby DESC) AS rownum,Ref,Price,Area,Town,BedFROM [Houses] WHERE ([Price] >= @Minp) AND ([Price] <= @Maxp) AND ([Bed] >= @Bed) AND ([Area] = @Area)) AS AWHERE A.rownum BETWEEN (@Startrow) AND (@Startrow + @Maxrow) The problem is the Area variable if i enter it manually it works if i try and pass the variable in it doesn't work. If i change ([Area] = @Area) to ([Area] = 'The First Area') it is fine. The only problem i see is that the @Area has spaces, but i even tried passing 'The First Area' with the quotes and it still didnt work.Please help, its got to be something simple.Thanks In Advance
I have to write a where condition where i need to compare string with date
I have 2 columns FROMDATE and TODATE with datatype varchar(9)
The strings in the columns looks like YYYYMMDD+'1' or YYYYMMDD+'2' here 1 is Am and 2 is PM
i.e., 201401011 or 201401012
So I need to chop off last character before using them in WHERE condition.
Now I need to write a where condition like [if todays date is in between fromdate and todate columns then return rows.
if FROMDATE column is null it should take minimum date 1900/01/01 if TODATE is null then date should be 9999/01/01
The query i wrote is
select * from Table where ISNULL(SUBSTRING(VALIDTO,1,8),'19000101') > = getdate()
AND ISNULL(SUBSTRING(VALIDTO,1,8),'99991231') < convert(varchar, getdate(), 112)
but it shows no data...

I have a statement that works in compatibility mode 8 of SQL Server2000 while it fails in 7:declare @P3 intexec sp_prepexec @P3 output, N'@P1 float', N'select custname fromcustomer where custnr = @P1', 12600034custnr is a varchar(15). As long as the float p1 is less than1,000,000 the query returns correct results, but as soon as p1 isequal or greater than 1,000,000 the resultset is empty. I couldfigure, that above 1 million, sp_exec converts the float intoexponential format and compares this format to the string containingfixed format values. As said above, in mode 8 the statement returnscorrect results above 1,000,000.Please don't ask me, why we use float variables - I don't have anyinfluence on the statement - we isolated the statement with theprofiler.We are also currently dependent on the compatibility mode 7.I would be very grateful if you have any ideas, help or other issuesfor me.Thank you,Peter
