I am unfamiliar with the built-in functions in SQL Server. I would like to display a numeric
field with leading zeros. In oracle the sql stmt would be:
SELECT TO_CHAR(amt,'000000')
FROM table_x;
Thus, the number 35 would be returned as 000035.
Is there a way to do this in SQL Server?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have one column in which i have Alpha-numeric data like
COLUMN X
-----------------------
+91 (876) 098 6789
1-567-987-7655
.
.
.
.
so on.
I want to remove Non-numeric characters from above (space,'(',')',+,........)
i want to write something generic (suppose some function to which i pass the column)
thanks in advance,

when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric
declare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
The 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
Guys
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are :
@N = 21
@SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000
@SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right
When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error -
SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
Any ideas ??
Hi,
I was trying to find numeric characters in a field of nvarchar. I looked this up in HELP.
Wildcard
Meaning
%
Any string of zero or more characters.
_
Any single character.
[ ]
Any single character within the specified range (for example, [a-f]) or set (for example, [abcdef]).
Any single character not within the specified range (for example, [^a - f]) or set (for example, [^abcdef]).
Nowhere in the examples below it in Help was it explicitly detailed that a user could do this.
In MS Access the # can be substituted for any numeric character such that I could do a WHERE clause:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE "####*"
After looking at the above for the [ ] wildcard, it became clear that I could subsitute [0-9] for #:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
using single quotes and the % wildcard instead of Access' double quotes and * wildcard.
Just putting this out there for anybody else that is new to SQL, like me.

I want to write a query which splits numeric characters which appear in the end of the string.
if the sting is like 'Langabaa straat 23' Then the result must give ''Langabaa straat' and '23'
if the string is like 'Jacob straat 23 avenue' The the result must give 'Jacob straat 23 avenue' and ' '
if the string is like 'Jacob avenue, 43' The result must give me 'Jacob avenue' and '43'
So you see that there is comma and a space that does the separation.. how can i achieve this in a query???
I'm attempting to move data from a text field to a numeric field, but I need to be able to remove any non-numeric characters in that field first, but I do not want to lose the numeric data.
In the code below, the Value table is the table that will be converted.
INSERT INTO IntegerValues (FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision)
SELECT FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision
FROM StringValues WHERE FK_FieldID in (select id from ##tmpFields)
Any ideas on how I may do that?
Hi,
As part of a data search project I need to be able to strip all non numeric characters from a text field. The field contains various forms of phone number in various formats. In order to search on it I am going to remove all non numeric characters from the input criteria and from the data being searched.
In order to do this I decided on using a SQL Server custom function: Pass in field. Loop through all chars, test against asci values for number range. return only numernic data concatenated into a string.
Are there any other more efficient ways of going about this?
If I have a string with the following values, I’d like to replace the non-numeric characters with a space.
Input
01234-987
012345678
01234 ext 65656
Tel 0123456
012345 898989
Output
01234 987
012345678
01234 65656
0123456
012345 898989
I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
But I have discovered that the following
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('£')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
Thanks for looking at this.
I am looking for the fastest way to strip non-numeric characters from a string.
I have a user database that has a column (USER_TELNO) in which the user can drop a telephone number (for example '+31 (0)12-123 456'). An extra computed column (FORMATTED_TELNO) should contain the formatted telephone number (31012123456 in the example)
Note: the column FORMATTED_TELNO must be indexed, so the UDF in the computed column has WITH SCHEMABINDING.... I think this implicates that a CLR call won't work....
I have a database table with 2 numeric fields. The values to be inserted into these fields come from text boxes in an ASP.NET page. So in the parameters to add into these fields I simply use 'textbox1.text' & textbox2.text'.
One of the fields accepts the data within the text box and adds it into the appropriate numeric data field in the table. However on the other text box I get an error message 'Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric.'
Does anyone know why this occurs just on the one entry and not the other?, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get around this please let me know.
Many Thanks

Hi all
I want to pass a list of nvarchar characters to my procedure, then import them into a temporary table as numeric(5,2) numbers.
The code below does this but the values are corrupted (e.g. 76.25 becomes 7 in the table).
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!
declare @separator_position int
declare @array_value nvarchar
declare @separator char
DECLARE @numberList NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @numberList = '23|76.25|100.36|45.54|87.14|74.25|8|98|'
SET @separator = '|'
SET @separator_position = NULL
SET @array_value = NULL
DECLARE @myTable TABLE(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), compLevel NUMERIC(5,2))
WHILE patindex('%' + @separator + '%', @numberList) <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT @separator_position = patindex('%' + @separator + '%' , @numberList)
SELECT @array_value = LEFT(@numberList, @separator_position - 1)
INSERT INTO @myTable (compLevel) VALUES (CONVERT(NUMERIC(5,2), @array_value))
SELECT @numberList = stuff(@numberList, 1, @separator_position, '')
END
SELECT * FROM @myTable

Im running a DTS package that converts data in a fixed width text file to SQL table. The package runs successfully, but when I go to dump 60,000+ records in the table I get this error:

Is there a way that I can isolate where the offending values are located so I can manually correct them?
Hi,
I used to work with Sql 2000 and I could easily import a text file into my database and then convert the fields (all nvarchar) to appropriate data types. However, this procedure does not work with Sql 2005.
After I import a text file to Sql 2005 and when I convert nvarchar to numeric, I get "Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric".
Could you please let me know how can I fix this issue. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I am using MS SQL Server 2008R2 along with VB 2010.The first question is: why is it even trying to convert anything to numeric? I have NO numeric data types. And I don't have any nvarchar data types either. I'm very confused.Doesn't nchar include any and all characters, in any combination? Should I change everything to text data type? Maybe something else? Some values are going to be blank. The Lab/Source Lots have numbers, letters and dashes.
My stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.MChemsInsert
(
@LabLot nchar(10),
@Chem nchar(50),
@Source nchar(50),
@SourceLot nchar(10),
[code]....
Select SchoolNumber + ' ' + ShortSchoolName as SchoolList from tblSchoolsSubset

There are only numbers in SchoolNumber.
Yes again a topic like this, I couldn't get an answer for my problem so I started a new topic.
Im getting this error for these lines:

mssql_query($registreer) or die("Fout bij toewijzen telefoonnummer.");
'telefoonnummer' (phonenumber) is nummeric, users can insert their phonenumber in a input field (text) and register along.. ( this is a second query for the column phonennumber) though this doesn't work..
