I am trying to follow an SSIS tutorial. It is doing a transformation on mainframe data.
It has the statement LTRIM(State) == '' in the Condititonal split editor.
The data type is DT_STR.
Nothing works (dbl quote,brackets, ect)
I have also tried to change the type to DT_WSTR. According to docs ltrim only works with Unicode.
Can someone please tell me how to detect an empty string.
Thanks for any help

I Have a sql select statment and i need to trim white space off one of my columns .
How do I do that please help.
Could 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

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 ?
Actually, I don't know what is the meaning and difference of "N" in thefunction.Thanks.

Hello All,
I am trying to ltrim a portion of multiple fields in a grouping. I am able to do it for one of them, but unfortunately there are several I have to do it for. If I use the following expression, it works for that one.
Code Snippet
=iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Inquiry Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Inquiry Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)
However, if I try and do it for more than one it errors out. For example...
Code Snippet
=iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Inquiry Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Inquiry Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)
OR iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Search Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Search Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)
OR iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="SEAX - Bank 083",LTRIM("SEAX"),Fields!TestName.Value)
Is there another way to arrange this so I can LTRIM each field group seperately?
Thanks,
Clint
Hi i have a select statement as

4321 84321 8
1111 61111 6

How does this happens. Why ltrim and rtrim is not working here.
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 imported data into a database and the first character in an ID Field starts with %. This is causing many problems for the application. Unfortunately, this field exists in 72 of 128 tables in the database. Is there a way to LTRIM every ID field where the first character is %? This is easy in 1 Table but how do I apply it to all 72 tables at once? Thanks for for your assistance

Hi
I sent a long string of ID from front end to my stored procedure...till now I was using varchar(8000)...but if the string crossess that limit it is breaking.
If I try to use text datatype..It doesn't support rtrim, stuff functions etc...
So could any one suggest me a best way to save a long string without any restriction of size...
My front end is C#.Net and Back End is SQL SERVER 2000
Thanks in advance
Quick question.
I've got a CHAR (70) field called NAME that has a first and last name separated by a space. I want to split it into two fields FIRST and LAST -- with all the characters to the left of the space a first name and all the characters to the right of the space as last name. I couldn't find a string function that would let me do this simply (it may be right in front of me and I missed it).
Thanks in advance.

I have a database with a "large" table containing date based information Basically they're reservations. I've thought about creating a new table and adding any records from past years to this table. For the most part only current reservation need to be searchable, but in some circumstances it would be useful to be able to search through the archive too. so, my questions!!!
Is 8,000 or so rows of data "large" and unwieldly in SQL terms?
Would splitting this data into 2 tables - one small table for current and future reservations and one larger archive table then using a UNION SELECT query to make archive information seachable be a significant improvment on server resources/load or am I making the whole thing more complicated than it need be as 8,000 rows of data is nothing to worry about.............
What did they say about a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing?
Thanks in advance of any guidance to a neophyte!!?

SQL UDF split()
The objective of this article is to help the SQL developers with an UDF that can be used within a stored procedures or Function to split a string (based on given delimiter) and extract the required portion of the string.
Scripting languages like VB script and Java script have in-built split() functions but there is no such function available in SQL server. In my experience this function is really handy when you’re working on an ASP application with SQL server as backend, whereby you’ll need to pass the ASP page submitted values to the SQL stored procedure.
To give a simple example, in a typical Monthly reporting ASP page – the users would select a range of months and extract the information pertaining to this date range. Classic implementation of this model is to have an ASP page to accept the input parameters and pass the values to the SQL stored procedure (SP). The SP would return a result set which is then formatted in the ASP page as results.
If the date range is continuous ie. JAN07 to MAR07 then the SP can typically accept a ‘From’ and ‘To’ range variables. But I’ve encountered situations whereby the users select 3 months from the current year and 2 months from previous year (non-continuous date ranges). In such scenario the SP cannot have a date range as input parameters.
Typically an ASP programmer would do is by having a single date input parameter in the SP and call the SP within a loop in the ASP page. This is an inefficient way of programming as contacting the database server within an ASP loop could cause performance overhead especially if the table being queried is an online transaction processing table.
Here is how I handled the above situation.
1.Declared one string input parameter of type varchar(8000) (if you’re using SQL 2005 then it is advisable to use Varchar(Max))
2.Pass the ASP submitted values as string, in this case the months selected by user would be supplied to the SP as a string
3.Within the Stored Procedure I’ll call the split() function to extract each month from the string and query the corresponding data
The basic structure of the stored procedure is as pasted below:-
CREATE PROCEDURE FETCH_SALES_DETAIL (
@MONTH VARCHAR(MAX)
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @MONTH_CNT INT,@MTH DATETIME
SET @MONTH_CNT=1
WHILE DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) <> ''
BEGIN
SET @MTH = CAST(DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) AS DATETIME)
--<<Application specific T-SQLs>>-- (BEGIN)
SELECT [SALES_MONTH],[SALES_QTY],[PRODUCT_ID],[TRANSACTION_DATE]
FROM SALES (NLOCK)
WHERE [SALES_MONTH]= @MTH
--<<Application specific T-SQLs>>--(END)
SET @MONTH_CNT=@MONTH_CNT+1
END
END
Dbo.SPLIT() function takes 3 parameters
1)The main string with the values to be split
2)The delimiter
3)The Nth occurrence of the string to be returned
The functionality of the UDF is as explained STEP by STEP:
1.Function Declaration
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SPLIT]
(
@nstring VARCHAR(MAX),
@deliminator nvarchar(10),
@index int
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)
Function is declared with 3 input parameters:-
@nstring of type VARCHAR(MAX) will hold the main string to be split
@deliminator of type NVARCHAR(10) will hold the delimiter
@index of type INT will hold the index of the string to be returned
2.Variable Declaration
DECLARE @position int
DECLARE @ustr VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @pcnt int
Three variables are needed within the function. @position is an integer variable that will be used to traverse along the main string. @ustr will store the string to be returned and the @pcnt integer variable to check the index of the delimiter.
3.Variable initialization
SET @position = 1
SET @pcnt = 1
SELECT @ustr = ''
Initialize the variables
4.Main functionality
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@nstring) and @pcnt <= @index
BEGIN
IF SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) <> @deliminator BEGIN
IF @pcnt = @index BEGIN
SET @ustr = @ustr + CAST(SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) AS nvarchar)
END
SET @position = @position + 1
END
ELSE BEGIN
SET @position = @position + 1
SET @pcnt = @pcnt + 1
END
END
4.1The main while loop is used to traverse through the main string until the word index is less than or equal to the index passed as input parameter.
4.2Within the while loop each character within the string is verified against the delimiter and if it does not match then local word count variable is checked against the input index parameter
4.3If the values are same ie., the input variable index and the word being processed in the while loop are the same then the word is stored in the @ustr variable. If the values does not match then the @position variable is incremented.
4.4If the character matches with the delimiter then the word count variable @pcnt is incremented along with the @position variable
5.Return the value
RETURN @ustr
I hope this article would benefit those who are looking for a handy function to deal with Strings.

I have 5 dynamic rows each row consisting of 5 checkboxes & 5 dropdowns.I am concatenating the values of each controls in a row using a wildcard charater "~" and each row i am concatenating using "|".The complete string is then assigned to one hidden field and passed as sql parameter to the backend.
Please help in writing the split function to get the values of each checkboxes and dropdowns from the string in order to save them in separate columns.
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a procedure that is going to be called through asp pages. This procedure carries out instructions depending on whether customers wants to insert, update or delete their portfolios. Rules are as follows: 1. It should not allow duplicate portfolio name to insert. 2. If customer has reached their max limit of 20 portfolio they can't add. They may have to delete or update the existing portfolio first. 3. all the error handling is done and returned as output parameters.
Now coming to the question at present I have one procedure that does all these things. Should I split up the procedure and have three procedures handling the events seperately: 1 Insert 2 Delete 3 update The reason I am concerned is 1 procedure being hit so many times by concurrent users with varying events. I am concerned about performance issue and slowing down of the page. I do not have exact numbers of users at this point. But they would be in thousands or more. Thanks for any suggestions or advice you all might have to share. Hiku
