View 2 Replies View RelatedIs There A Way To Drop All The Columns Called Some_name In All The Tables At The Same Time
May 15, 2008Hi,
In my DB, many of my tables have a column named upsize_ts I have already been told that it is not linked in any way with the data in the DB. The data type of these columns is timestamp and every record in those colum is this : "<Binary>"
Now maybe it's because the whole DB comes from an export from an Access DB, or maybe not. I just had a few questions:
1/ Does anyone know why that column got generated and what it means? (optional)
2/Now the real question: is there any statement allowing me to "mass-drop" all those columns named "upsize_ts" in every table of my DB at the same time? Or at least any way not to do it one drop table at a time?
Thanks.
Dynamic Sort Column And Sort Order Not Working
Aug 7, 2007I am trying to set sorting up on a DataGrid in ASP.NET 2.0. I have it working so that when you click on the column header, it sorts by that column, what I would like to do is set it up so that when you click the column header again it sorts on that field again, but in the opposite direction. I have it working using the following code in the stored procedure: CASE WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'ASC' then Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end ASC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, Convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), FileDesc)) end ASC,
case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' then convert(sql_variant, convert(varchar(8000), VersionNotes)) end ASC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end DESC,
case WHEN @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' and @SortOrder = 'ASC' THEN CONVERT(sql_variant, FileDataID) end ASC And I gotta tell you, that is ugly code, in my opinion. What I am trying to do is something like this: case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' then FileName end,
case when @SortColumn = 'FileDataID' then FileDataID end,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field2' then FileDesc
when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' then VersionNotes
end
case when @SortOrder = 'DESC' then DESC
when @SortOrder = 'ASC' then ASC
end and it's not working at all, i get an error saying: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'case' when i put a comma after the end on line 5 i get: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DESC' What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help -Madrak

View 2 Replies View RelatedWildcard Use
Jun 30, 2006Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am working on an application that does a property search off of a database that contains approximately 40000 records. The search criteria allows the use to specify a minimum and maximum price, subdivision name, number of bedrooms, etc. I set up a stored procedure to query the databse. if one of the parameters is not specified, i simply pass it a "%". However, when i execute this sproc in Query Analyzer, it takes in excess of 10 seconds to return the records, even if only one or two are returned. I am assuming this is due to the use of the wildcard character when the user does not have a preference, but I am not sure of any other way to do this. Any help on this topic would be grealy appreciated.

Wildcard Used For SQL IN Clause
Dec 30, 2006I am trying to control how users view records. I want to create a solution that would, for instance permit:user A to view Store 1user B to view store 2 and store 3user C to view store 5 and store 6and User D to view all stores even if more stores were added in the future (in other words user D would have access to all records)
I want to create an 'authorization table' so that different users can see different records. I think the easiest way to do this is to pass a parameter to the where clause, but the problem that I face is the how can I use a wildcard in a SQL 'IN' clause? Does anyone have any suggestions. Perhaps I am taking the wrong approach. I would appreciate any guidance.
Wildcard In The WHERE Clause
Jan 28, 2007Hello,
I'm trying to pull some data from a table with the option to filter on 2 columns.
I've set up my sql statement to accept 2 parameters and I'd like to be able to send 1 or 2 wildcards if needed. My statement looks like this:SELECT *
FROM City WHERE CityName= @CityName AND State= @State
ORDER BY CityName
For example, if you wanted all of the cities in all of the states I would pass (*,*) as parameters.
Or if I wanted to see all of the states that have a city named Richmond, I'd pass (Richmond,*) as the parameters.
The wildcards are not returning anything and I don't know why. It works fine if I pass something like (Indianapolis,Indiana) as parameters so I think it's in my use of the wildcards that is wrong.
Thanks.
Wildcard For Integers Or Something?
Dec 10, 2001I'm writing a stored procedure where one of the arguments (WHERE area) really only needs to be used in some circumstances. I.e., when the procedure is passed a USER_ID it needs to check that against the database, but in some instances I'll send 0 instead of a real USER_ID, and in those cases it should return all records regardless of the ID.
Here's what I've got:
...
and b.user_ID = CASE @user_ID WHEN 0 THEN '%'
ELSE @user_ID
...
...the problem being the '%' part. That won't work on an integer column.
Does anyone have any ideas here?
Thanks,

Wildcard Misuse?
Oct 5, 2006I've got a text field with a list of dates in this format:
10/31/2006
11/2/2006
11/4/2006
11/5/2006
The field can contain multiple dates (as listed above). I need to query the db and retrieve dates by month and year. For example, all fields containing 10/%/06 or 11/%/%06.
My query:
SELECT * FROM tblCalData WHERE visible='1' and approved='1' and eventDates LIKE '11%06%' ORDER BY eventDates DESC
so even though a field contains dates in October and November, selecting all November dates, in this example, don't appear. The query seems to be looking only at the first date.
Is this possible? Is there another/better way to do this?
Thanks!

WildCard If Not Value Selected
May 7, 2008HI Guys, I have a question.
I am converting Access SQL to SQL Server. One of the statements calls for a wildcard if the user does not select a value for the designated parm field. The value is selected from a cbolist (of names).
Current Statement:
And tblRetailer_Contact.faxcontact LIKE *
I substituted:
And tblRetailer_Contact.faxcontact LIKE β%@faxContacts%β
This might work if the User selects a name but if the User leaves it blank it will not work. Any ideas on how I go about establishing a wildcard if not name is selected?
DECLARE @FaxContact as varchar (50)
SET @H_Date = (SELECT StartDate FROM tblRpt_Params WHERE RptID = 5)
SET @Start_Date = (REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR (8), @H_Date, 112), '-', ''), ' ', ''))
SET @H_Date = (SELECT EndDate FROM tblRpt_Params WHERE RptID = 5)
SET @End_Date = (REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR (8), @H_Date, 112), '-', ''), ' ', ''))
SET @FaxContact = (SELECT FaxContact FROM tblRpt_Params WHERE RptID = 5)
SELECT tblEData.Timestamp As [TimeStamp],
LTRIM(RTrim([ResultsCustName])) AS CustName,
LTRIM(RTrim([ResultsPH])) AS Phone, Status As [Status],
FaxContact AS FaxContact,
ResultsPKey As ResultsKey
INTO tmpE_Callbacks
FROM tblEData
LEFT JOIN tblContact
ON tblEData.RetailerPrefix = tblContact.Prefix
WHERE tblEData.Timestamp BETWEEN @Start_Date And @End_Date
AND FaxContact Like '%@FaxContact%'
Thanx so much,

Dec 11, 2007I want to update data only where the value of the 'image_path' column is NOT = 192.168.150.12/images/*

Here is my code:
INSERT INTO IMAGE (FCN, IMAGE_NAME2)
SELECT FCN, Col066
FROM GRAB where Col066 <> ' '
update IMAGE
Set PERIMAGE_PATH = 'http://192.168.150.12/images/' +IMAGE_NAME2+ '.jpg'

Using Wildcard With Parameters
Oct 24, 2007
The where statement on my stored proc is as follows:
Where actv.ProjID + '-' + actv.Activity = @project
@project is something the user provides in the form of "xxxx-xx-xx-xx". I would like to use a wildcard, so I changed my where statement to the following:
Where actv.ProjID + '-' + actv.Activity = @project + '%'
But this returns nothing and I am not sure why. I don't get any errors, just no results. Anyone got any ideas as to why?
Thanks in advance!

Wildcard Searches
May 13, 2006I have a number of functions that require the input of parameters in order to ultimatly create a report under Reporting Services by making use of a Stored Procedure.
All the functions etc work as does the stored procedure, but it only works if I specify data that I know exists e.g.
DECLARE @return_value int
EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[spWTRalldatareportsummary]
@dt_src_date = N'04/28/2006',
@chr_div = N'NE',
@vch_portfolio_no = 3,
@vch_prop_cat = N'core'
SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_value
GO
How can I set this so that it will wild card the value. For example rather than having to specify
@chr_div = N'NE', I could specify something like
@chr_div = N *, so it would show both NE and SW values in the result set.
Anybody point me in a direction here. I have tried % but that does not seem to work, I get a
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 7
Incorrect syntax near '%'.
Thank in Advance
Wildcard In Simple Sql Search.
Mar 30, 2005I'm very new to SQL so please forgive my ignorance...
I've made a simple .net search page which queries an sql database with the following query, (in a stored procedure):
SELECT Category, Number, RegisteredUser, DeptName, Surname, Forename, Site, IDFROM tblTelephonesWHERE (@surname IS NULL OR Surname LIKE @surname) AND (@site IS NULL OR Site = @site) AND (@deptname IS NULL OR DeptName LIKE @deptname)
This works fine, as expected if i leave fields null or enter an exact match, but I (of course) have to add a wildcard in my search string for a wildcard search. For example, looking for 'duncan' i need to enter 'du%' or 'duncan'.
What I really want is for all searches to have wildcards behind them so only the first few characters need be inputted, and I could just search for 'd' or 'dun' without adding the '%' to get 'duncan'. I think I am aware of the implications of this approach and do want to go ahead as there are only about 850 records.
Any help or links to useful articles would really be greatly appreciated.

Name
Location
Employee Number
Officer Code

So in my query I use a where clause that says WHERE OfficerCode LIKE '%'+@Param4+'%'. I use a % for the default value in my ASP.net data control.

Conditional Where Wildcard Problem
Jan 14, 2005Hi,
I have a problem using the LIKE operator in a stored procedure. I have simplified the script so that it runs in query analyser and still have the same problem. The script is:
DECLARE@FirstName varchar (50)
SELECT @FirstName = 'B%'
SELECT * FROM PhoneList
WHERE PhoneList.FirstName LIKE CASE @FirstName WHEN '' THEN PhoneList.FirstName ELSE @FirstName END
This code produces no rows in the result. However if I change the second line to:
SELECT @FirstName = 'Ben'
Then I get all of the rows with 'Ben' as the first name. If I change it to:
SELECT @FirstName = 'Be%'
Then I get all of the rows with three character first names beginning with 'Be'. If I change it to:
SELECT @FirstName = 'B%%'
Then I get all of the three character first names beginning with 'B'.
I need the conditional where so that if an empty string is passed it returns every row, which works fine as it is.
The % wildcard appears to be operating the same way as the _ wildcard. Has anyone seen this before?
This is SQL Server 2k SP3 on Win2003 server.
thanks

3 Tables Wildcard Searches
Apr 27, 2006Hi,
I am writing a stored procedure to pull records from a table of personal data related to jobs applied for.
There are 3 tables involved, the jobs, the applicants and the applications.
I need to search on job title, job ref from the jobs table and on forename, surname and applicant ID from the applicants table.
There are some quirks here, if the user enters an applicant ID then we can simply scan the jobs table for that id where it also matches the job title wildcards, so that is quite easy to manage.
My own idea for the more complicated searches was to gather the unique ID's from the jobs table into a var, then do similar with the applicants and then search the applications table where both these ID's matched? I think that wouldn't work so well if using the 'WHERE IN()' clause for the main query?
So what approach would be best here to perform the second part of the SP if the client hasn't passed an ApplicantID?
Obviously the applications table has both JobID and ClientID's to relate back to the applicants table.
So can anyone help here, it seems a fairly complicated statement or set of statements would be required here.
Thanks in advance.
Compare Two Columns With WildCard

One table: Other Table:
----------------------
ID Col1 | ID Col2
---------------------
1 1 1 1A
1 1B
2 2 2 2A
3 3 3 3A
4 5 4 5A
4 5B
4 5C
5 7
6 27
7 50 7 50A
-------------------------------
I want to writing something like:
SELECT Table1.ID, Table1.Col1, Table2.ID, Table2.Col2
From Table1, Table2
WHERE (Table1.ID = Table2.ID) AND (Table2.Col2 LIKE Table1.Col1%)
which obviously does not work.
basically "column2 Text%" so if ID = 1, Col1 = 1 => will have the following comparisons turn out true:
1A LIKE '1*'
1B LIKE '1*'
How can I do a comparison like this?

SQL Parameter Query && Wildcard
Sep 22, 2006I just migrated a stand alone MSAccess2003 .mdb to an .adp Access Data Project. In the former .mdb I had a parameter query to search for a portion of a 17 character part number, primarily the 2 grouping of 4 digits as in (00-0000-XXXX-0-00). In Access the query was written as
LIKE *&[Enter a portion of the part number]&*
Then we ported to a web based portal using MSAccesss DAP (data access pages) and I was told due to ADO vs DAO the query had to be rewritten using the % symbol as in
LIKE %&[Enter a portion of the part number]&%
So far so good. However with the migration to a SQL Server and ANSI-92 compatible wildcard characters this has changed. The new query looks like this
LIKE @Enter_a_portion_of_the_part_number +n%
The problem I am having is the prompt for data entry works but the wildcard will only return matching values from the first digit place holder. Some of the books I have read said to use the Under Score character to move the search criteria to the section I want to search which would be starting with the 9th character (00-0000-XXXX-0-00) as in
LIKE @Enter_a_portion_of_the_part_number +n________%
However the Under Score only works with Alpha Characters and not Numeric.
So how do I write a SQL Server Query to perform like it did in Access?

Replace Field Value Using Wildcard?
Feb 23, 2014Is it possible to replace a string value that uses a wildcard? For example, I'm trying to update a field on a table and replace the field value where it starts with a specific two character pattern and remove it from the string. The field is a delimited string and I want to replace any occurrence of ;A0% or ;A0* with a null value. I don't want to replace the entire field with a null value.
Let's say my field value is this:
;00236;08231;06106 Washington DC;06106 CCA Wash DC;05120;A0106;
I want the result to be this:
;00236;08231;06106 Washington DC;06106 CCA Wash DC;05120;
I was trying several variations:
UPDATE myTable SET myField = REPLACE(myField,'XX%','')
