Counting The Frequency Of Characters On 1 Row Across Columns
Aug 31, 2005
Div writes "I have 8 columns consisting of 1 letter each.I want to be able to count the number of times that the letter 'a' or 'b' until 'z' occurs in one record. For example, for record number 1, the following information is available:
Column 1: a
Column 1: k
Column 1: t
Column 1: s
Column 1: a
Column 1: d
Column 1: d
Column 1: k
I want to be able to see that for this record there are 2 occurences of 'a',2 occurences of 'k', 1 occurence of 't', etc.
Please help!!
I'm using SQL Version 8.0 and Windows XP Professional.
Thank you!

I am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.
"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.
If I had a basic table with 3 VARCHAR fields; let's say A, B, C
How could I write a query that returns the count of the number of NULL columns for every record in a table?
Ideally, it would be something like:
SELECT CAST (A IS NULL) AS INTEGER + CAST (B IS NULL) AS INTEGER + CAST (C IS NULL) AS INTEGER FROM MyTable
That doesn't work at all. I can't seem to do "IS NULL" in the SELECT area. Should I write a T-SQL user-defined function that takes all three columns as parameters? Would that be performance friendly for large data sets?
I need to count and display the number of records which have GradeTitle="SHO". I'm only starting to use BI development studio and all attempts at using the built in aggregate functions have failed.
Also, the report I wish to create has a fixed number of columns and a fixed number of rows as the info being displayed is really only counting values in the DB. I tried using Table but multiple rows were created.
I'd appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction, as searching this forum turned out to be pretty fruitless for me.
I have an issue where I am storing various international characters in nvarchar columns, but need to branch the data at one point of processing so that ASCII characters are run through an additional cleansing process and all non-ASCII characters are set aside.
Is there a way to identify which nvarchar values are within the ASCII range and can be converted to varchar without corruption? Also, the strings may contain a mix of english and international character sets, so the entire string must be checked and not just the first character.
Part 1: When there is ~ (tilde) and has any value after it then it goes into a new row and duplicating the other columns like the facility in the screenshot attached and new column having the sequence.
Part 2: When there is ^ (Caret) its a new column irrespective of a value present or not
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Equipment]( [EQU] [VARCHAR](50) NOT NULL, [Notes] [TEXT] NULL, [Facility] [VARCHAR](50) NULL) INSERT INTO [dbo].[Equipment] ([EQU] ,[Notes] ,[Facility]) SELECT '1001','BET I^BOBBETT,DAN^1.0^REGULAR^22.09^22.090~BET II^^^REGULAR^23.56^0~','USA' union SELECT '998','BET I^JONES, ALANA^0.50^REGULAR^22.09^11.0450~BET II^^^REGULAR^23.56^0~','Canada' UNION select '55','BET I^SLADE,ADAM F.^1.5^REGULAR^27.65^41.475~','USA' SELECT * FROM dbo.Equipment
I created the table in excel and attached the screenshot for a clear picture as to what is required. I use text to Columns in excel to achieve this not sure if there is anything similar in sql.
I'm new to full text catalogs and we have a vendor who's code utilizes them. The database server is SQL 2005 and I am noticing the following message in the SQL log every minute.
Changing the status to MERGE for full-text catalog "ResearchCatalog" (5) in database "DBA_Test" (11). This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
A SQL job is running the following command every minute.
Is there a way to perform term extraction on each row in a table, and have the term extraction denote the frequency of the term on a per row basis rather than a per table basis?
Otherwise, is there a way I can take extracted terms and apply a sql function that returns the occurance of that term in each row?
I have a table with about 80 columns and 400 millions records. Each columns has different responses that I need to get frequency for. I need to get counts for each response from all the columns... I have a query that does it, but it will run forever... what is the best way to do so?
My starting query:
select res, sum(cnt) from ( select col1 res, count(*) as cnt from table1 with (nolock) group by col1 union all select col2 res, count(*) as cnt from table1 with (nolock) group by col2
........................
select col80 res, count(*) as cnt from table1 with (nolock) group by col80 )a group by res
Just wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to create a SQL Server agent job that ran once every 30 seconds. I can't enter a value below 1 minute when editing the job schedule in Enterprise Manager.
Alternatively, I can create duplicate stored procedures and set one to run on the minute and one on the half minute. Thought there might be a better alternative to this though and I'll always have to be remembering to makes changes to both sprocs.
I were thinking, if ther was a way to restrict people(hackers) from executing transactions too frequently, my database could be much more secure. Such capability is available within My Sql. I there such a thing in sql server?
I have a new production server with about 100 jobs on it. These are ETL jobs about half of which are in SSIS packages and half call stored procedures directly. For those calling stored procedures directly, might there be a way to use the system catalog to link the schedule of the job to the table being updated by the procedure? The result is a list of tables (those updated by jobs) and the schedule of when they are updated.

I am planning to take one full backup and Transactional Log backups for every month ..as i will be making the changes in database only once in a month .
And I am aware of that in case of disaster i need to restore database with all the Transactional Log backups . My Plan is to have Transactional log backups for 5 Years and after 5 years i would be taking a full backup .
So should I need to take any other precautions or concerns with this approach.?
In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message. How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Hi everybody, I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?
I have an already published application running several MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services report. I need a way to find from either the reporting services log or the application server (IIS) logs or windows log to know the frequency of each report being used.
Based on this info, the business needs to know which reports are being used and to what extend? How can I acheive this?
I have already got the IIS logs and it did not give the required info. I have looked into the Reporting Services logs but it does not provide the info either.

Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
Hi,New to SQL. Got some questions about it.Suppose I have two tables. Each of them has a single column, named asc1. For table T1, I have:11133579For table T2, I have:1234513The exercise I want to do is to select the number of occurence in T1for those elements in T2. For above tables, I want to show:1 3 ( i.e. "1" is in T2 and shows 3 times in T1)2 0 (i.e. "2" is in T2 but doesn't show in T1)3 2 (i.e. "3" is in T2 and show 2 times in T1)It seems I can't figure out a good way to do this. Any help will beappreciated.Thanks
I am working on writing a query to use with Reporting Services where I am pulling grades from a school grade book trying to see what students qualify for Honor Roll. I have one Honor Roll done but am still working on the other. The qualifications I am trying to get is that a student has a gpa >3.0 and can have one C grade. I've got the 3.0 and the C's down but how to get the query to pull anyone having at the most one C. It doesn't matter whether it is C+, C, or C- but the student can't have more than a count of one.
Here is what I have
SELECT DISTINCT s.lastname+','+' '+s.firstname AS Student, s.studentnumber,e.grade,t.name AS Term,
gs.score, c.name AS Course, se.teacherdisplay
FROM GradingScore gs
INNER JOIN student s ON s.personid = gs.personid
INNER JOIN v_TermGpa tg ON tg.personid = s.personid
INNER JOIN enrollment e ON e.enrollmentid = s.enrollmentid AND e.calendarid = gs.calendarid
INNER JOIN scheduleStructure ss ON ss.calendarid = gs.calendarid
INNER JOIN Termschedule ts ON ts.structureid = ss.structureid
INNER JOIN Term t ON t.termscheduleid = ts.termscheduleid
INNER JOIN section se ON se.sectionid = gs.sectionid
INNER JOIN course c ON c.courseid = se.courseid
WHERE gs.calendarID = 20 AND t.name ='1st 6wk' AND tg.term1gpa >=3.0 AND s.enddate IS NULL
AND gs.score <='C-'
AND (select gs1.personid, gs1.score
from gradingscore gs1
inner join enrollment e1 on e1.personid = gs1.personid
Inner join schedulestructure ss1 on ss1.calendarid = e1.calendarid
Inner join termschedule ts1 on ts1.structureid = ss1.structureid
Inner join term t1 on t1.termscheduleid = ts1.termscheduleid
where gs1.score IN('C','C+','C-') and (count(score)= 0 or count(score) < 2))
ORDER BY s.[student]
I can get it to work all the way up to where the And (count(score) starts then there is something about the way the count is in there that I haven't figured out yet.
How do I count the total number of each row in a table? The table Company has a field called Group. How do I count the total amount of members in each group?
Hi all, I would like to have my SQL statement result to return an additional "column", automatically adding an "auto-increasing" number with it. So if I for example select all Dates older than today's date, I would want something like this:
1 10/12/2006
2 10/18/2006
3 10/20/2006
4 10/22/2006
5 10/30/2006 Keep in mind that it's not my intention to fysically insert the "counting" column into the table, but rather do it "virtually". Is this possible? And if yes, how ? :)
Sorry for all the code below. I am realizing that my DB design is bad but I already have 7 pages built around it that work fine...until now, so I would really like to not change the DB if possible. My table has 22 columns: iID which is the identity colum. Then there is iAsmtID which is the assessment ID. Lastly there are 20 colums- q1 through q20, each of which will have a 1, 2, or 3, depending on the radio buttons the user clicked. Nows my problem. I have to find a percent for the assessment. It works like this. 3s are NA so we are not worried about them now. I need to find the number of ones and the number of twos for each assessment ID. Then add those together and divide by the number of ones. How can I find the number of the ones and twos. I have below but its not working. Says there is incorrect syntax at the ',' which is a different color below.

I'm trying to count the number of rows but it's not working. Here's my code:
SELECT 'TOTAL number of rows', count(*) --This counts 4! The total number of rows in [Activites] FROM [Activities] WHERE [Person ID] IN ( SELECT DISTINCT [Person ID] --This brings back 2 rows (two specific people) FROM [Activites] )
As my comments say, I'm wanting to count the two rows but it's counting every row. Obviously I'm doing something wrong but I can't work it out.
