Converting Hex Values To Int.
Aug 10, 2007I have to convert values like 0x01A4 to integer and I just can not get it right!
Select Convert(int, 0x01A4) works OK but is not useful.
But
Declare @hex varchar(20)
Select Convert(int, @b) yields:
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 13
Syntax error converting the varchar value '0x01A4' to a column of data type int.
What's the trick??

Problem Converting Decimal Values
Apr 25, 2007Hi. I I'm importing a text file with lot's of decimal values with this format xx.xx. The problem is that my locale is Portugal and the points are being striped off and are not being considered as decimal separators (for example I have values like 0.04 and in the sql server database i see 4). I have tried to change the locale but i receive a message saying that the locale is not installed in my system.

Converting Integer Values To Datetimes
May 23, 2006We have inherited an appointments database that has a table tblAppointments
Within this table there are 2 fields, ApptFrom & ApptTo, these are the appointment start & finish times.
My problem is, the values in these fields are held as integers ranging from 0 - 288. I have worked out the scale for the integers, it is based on a 24hr clock with each segment representing 5mins
Eg: 0 = 0:00
12 = 1.00
24 = 2.00
36 = 3.00
€¦
...
288 = 24:00
What I need is a piece of T_SQL that will translate these into times that can be read by a normal user
So, say I have a record with an ApptFrom = 36 & ApptTo = 42, I need to be able to show these as ApptFrom = 3.00 & ApptTo = 3.30
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Converting Values To YesNo Inside Query
Mar 19, 2015I have a field that was text YESNONull. When I imported it into SQL I converted it to Boolean and had to go back and null out the ones that were supposed to be null. I am now trying to use the fields in my old reports and find that I have to convert the values to YesNo inside the query. This causes me to have to change almost every report. So I am wondering if there's a easier way to return YesNoNull or should I just keep the field as a 3 byte text?
Code:
SELECT Jobs_Table.JobNum,
[Jobs_Table].[Basic]+[jobs_Table].[FullService] AS MailPieces,
The_Big_One1.HT_Mail_STId,
IIf(IsNull([The_Big_One1].[First_Scan_Date]),"",IIf([The_Big_One1].[STC_SCAN]=True,"Yes","No")) AS STC,

Converting String Parameter Values To Date
Mar 11, 2008
Hi,
I have a calendar parameter in one of my reports. The values of the calendar are of the form 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mms'. And they are string values.
Now when I generate the report I have a textbox that takes the parameter label (e.g., parameter!calendar.label). However, I would like to format (or trim) the label as just 'yyyy-mm-dd'. Does anyone know how I can do this? I tried to change the parameter value format to datetime but this just throws an invalid datatype error...
cheers,

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Converting Integer Values To Date-time?
Jul 15, 2014As a DBA, I am working on a project where an ETL process(SSIS) takes a long time to aggregate and process the raw data.
I figured out few things where the package selects the data from my biggest 200 GB unpartitioned table which has a datekey column but the package converts its each row to an integer value leading to massive scans and high CPU.
Example: the package passed two values 20140714 and 4 which means it wants to grab data from my biggest table which belongs between 20140714 04:00:00 and 20140714 05:00:00.
It leads to massive implicit conversions and I am trying to change this.
To minimize the number of changes, what I am trying to do is to convert 20140714 and 4 to a datetime format variable.
Select Convert(DATETIME, LEFT(20170714, 8)) which gives me a date value but I am stuck at appending time(HH:00:00) to it.

Converting Field Values With ALL CAPS To Inital Caps???
Jun 18, 2004I have found a stored proceedure that will convert a string from any format to initial caps followed by lower case letters. However, I'm such a newbie to SQL Server that I have no idea how to run the SP on a table.
Here is the stored proceedure: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=581&lngWId=5
How would I get this to run within a query to update a field?
For example, I have a field called 'name' with records like:
3M <- should remain '3M'
123 INTERIORS <--- should be '123 Interiors'
ALLIED SIGNAL <-- should be 'Allied Signal'

Lookup / Merge Join / Script - Howto Look Up Values By Comparing To A Range Of Values?
Jun 4, 2007Hello all,
I am trying to think my way through a solution which I believe others have probably come across... I am trying to implement a matching routine wherein I need to match an address against a high value and a low value (or, for that matter an input date vs. a start and end date) to return the desired row ... i.e. if I were to use a straight vb program I would just use the following lookup:
"SELECT DISTINCT fire_id, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out FROM ipt_tbl " & _
" WHERE zip_code = @zip_code AND addr_prim_lo <= @street_number AND addr_prim_hi >= @street_number " & _
" AND addr_prim_oe = @addr_prim_oe AND street_pre = @street_pre AND street_name = @street_name " & _
" AND street_suff = @street_suff AND street_post = @street_post " & _
" AND (expiry_date = '' OR expiry_date = '00000000' OR expiry_date > @expiry_date)" & _
" GROUP BY fire_ID, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out"
My question, then, is how would you perform this type of query using a lookup / merge join or script? I have not found a way to implement a way to set the input columns? I can set the straight matches without a problem, i.e. lookup zip code = input zip code, but can't think of the correct way to set comparisons, i.e. lookup value 1 <= input value AND lookup value 2 >= input value
Any suggestions?
thanks for your time...
NULL Values Returned When Reading Values From A Text File Using Data Reader.
Feb 23, 2007I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?

Compare Incoming Input File Row Values With Database Row Values In SSIS
Jan 23, 2008Hi All,
I receive the input file with some 100 columns and some 20k+ rows and I want to check the incoming input row is existed in the database or not based on 2 key columns. If the row is existed then I need to check all the columns (nearly 100 columns) values in input and the database are equal or not. If both are equal I need to treat them seperately if not there is a seperate logic. How Can I do that check for each row and for each column?
Basically the algorithm is like this, if the input file row is not existed in the database then treat that as new row else if the input row is existed in the database then check all the columns are equal or not. If all the columns are equal then treat that as existing row and do nothing else if some columns are not equal then treat this row seperately.
I found some thing to achieve the above thing.
1. Take the input row and check in the database.
2. If the row is not found in the database then treat it as new row.
3. If row is found in the database then
a) Take the source row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns
b) Take the database row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns
c) Find out the hash code for the 2 strings and then compare hash codes for equal.
The disadvantage of this is running a loop 2*m*n times where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns. It should be done 2 times for input file row and database row.
Can anybody suggest a good method to do this?
What does the function "GetHashCode" for InputBuffer in method "Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)" will do?
Will it generates hash code based on all the columns values?
Pls clarify.
Regards
Venkat.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Dynamically Change Values In Script Based On 3 Values
Feb 27, 2014I have a script that I use after some amount of data massaging (not shown). I would like to be able to change the
1) denominator value (the value 8 in line 32 of my code) based on how many columns are selected by the where clause:
where left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = 1where capNumber is a value like [1_1], [1_4], [1_6]...[1_9] capNumber can be any values from [1_1]...[14_10] depending upon the specialty value (example: Allergy) and the final number after the equal sign is a number from 1 to 14)
2) I'd like to dynamically determine the series depending upon which values correspond to the specialty and run for each where: left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = n. n is a number between 1 and 14.
3) finally I'd like to dynamically determine the columns in line 31 (4th line from the bottom)
If I do it by hand it's 23 * 14 separate runs to get separate results for each CapNumber series within specialty. The capNumber series is like [1_1], [1_2], [1_3],[1_4], [1_5], [1_6], [1_7], [1_8],[1_9]
...
[8_4],[8_7]
...
[14_1], [14_2],...[14_10]
etc.
Again, the series are usually discontinuous and specific to each specialty.
Here's the portion of the script (it's at the end) that I'm talking about:
--change values in square brackets below for each specialty as needed and change the denom number in the very last query.
if object_id('tempdb..#tempAllergy') is not null
drop table #tempAllergy
select *
into #tempAllergy
from
dbo.#temp2 T
[Code] ....
If I were to do it manually I'd uncomment each series line in turn and comment the one I just ran.
SQL Server 2012 :: Replace All Values In String With Values From Look Up Table
Mar 19, 2014I have a table that lists math Calculations with "User Friendly Names" that look like the following:
([Sales Units]*[AUR])

I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR". (It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)
The new formulas need to look like the following:
([cSalesUnits]*[cAUR])
([cCompSalesUnits]*[cCompAUR])
I have created a CTE of all the "Look-up" values, and have tried all kinds of joins, and other functions to achieve this, but so far nothing has quite worked.
How can I accomplish this?
