Deleting Leading 0's In Numbers Stored In A Text Field.
Jul 25, 2006
I am trying to use several tables that have one 10-character text field in
common. Most of the records have a numeric expression, but some tables have leading
0's, and some don't.
I can't cast the field to numbers because there are some records that have
letters also.
What function can I use to get rid of all the 0s at the left of each record?
(Sort of a LTRIM function that gets rid of 0s instead of spaces).
Thanks!

I have run into a problem when searching for a Movie title that is a number (like the movie name 21)
This is an access database and the Movie_Name is a text field
The SQL I am using is
Select * from Movie_Data where Movie_Title = ‘” & Movie_Name & “’”
This works perfectly for everything except when the Movie_Name = a number
Is there a way to make this search work with both characters and numbers?

I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

i have an excel sheet
in it there is a column that holds values of item numbers
some of these values are preceeded with zeros E.G "00123" (with out the ")
when i view the data in excel i get this little green corner whice states (when pressed) that these values are numbers stoerd as text.
no inside the excel sheet i have no problem with that
but when i try to import the excel sheet into ssis using an excel source task
all these values are imported as nulls!!!
i am lost
i tried converting the format of these cells to numbers but then i loose the leading zeros
what i done temporarly to solve this problem is to accept excel's suggestion and turn these values into numbers
i then import them and convert them to strings in ssis and then ad dthe zeros.
now althouge this works, this isnt realy a solution.
i canot manualy correct each excel file each time i get a new copy
and in the future i will not have the luxuery of having fixed lenght values (so i wont be able to know how many zeroe i"d need to add)
there must be a better way
please help
thanks in advance

I have two identical databases. I need to delete the even customer numbers from the first database and the odd numbers from the other database. I know I can do this writing a delete statement for each table. However there are a total of 54 tables.
Does anyone know a faster way to write the script without writing 54 scripts?
I would appreciate your help.
As always you guys are the greatest.

Hi All,
I want to add a leading zero to a field based on a param that I create on the fly in my stored proc. I have a @month which is created from my datetime param @date.
@Month needs to be char(2) but if the month is inputted as '04' I get '4 ' in the table (note the space after 4)
How can I add a leading zero to this field?
Set @Year = right('0',1)year(@Date) is spitting it's toys out.
Thanks,
Brett

I have a numeric data field called Price and this has a value of 0.000 in the db. when i create a package to extract this data to a flat file, the value is displayed as .000
what should i do to make it appear as 0.000 in the flat file.
I tried using a derived column expression where i check if the db value is 0.000 and display it as a string "0.000". this works fine if the OLEDB source is a sql command but fails if the OLEDB source is a sql command from variable.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I searched the forums for 'Retain leading 0 in datetime field' and received 0 hits.
I have a client who needs me to export SQL data as a txt file. All of the varchar fields are working well. I am having a problem with the datetime field. In my SQL table, I have a datetime field named 'Date_Acquired'. I enter the date as 04/28/2008 but it shows up in the table as 4/28/2008 and exports to text as 4/28/2008. Is there an easy way within my export Stored Procedure to reformat the datetime field to retain the leading zero? I have explored the CAST and CONVERT statements but have been unsuccessful so far.
Can anyone help?

I want to sort a stored procedure based on a variable passed to it... what is the easiest way to do this? Here's an example of what I want to do:
sp_select_thing 10, 'thing_name', 'asc'
It would run the query then somehow evaluate parameters 2 and 3 to be placed in the ORDER BY clause. I'm not sure if they should be quoted as strings or not, I don't have an idea how to pass a "reference to a variable" as a parameter to a stored procedure... or even if such a thing is possible
Thanks!

Hello,
I need to dynamically construct sql script for procedure/trigger of the SQL
Server 6.5 database. Because of length, I need to store it in a text field
of the temporary table. Now I need to execute it.
I see only two choices:
1. Use bcp utility to pass text of procedure/trigger to the text file on
hard drive and the use isql utility to execute that text.
Drawbacks of this way: bcp and isql must be in place, need to write to the
use's hard drive, overhead for large number of modifying objects
2. Declare up to 255 (this is the max number of colid column in the
syscomments table) local variables of varchar(255) type, get sequential
chunks from that text field and build final statement like this:
exec(@var1 + @var2 + ... + @var255)
Drawbacks: need to keep truck of length of the text field to calculate
right number of local variables, and it looks a little bit ugly
While both ways work, I am looking for more nicer way to do this job.
Does anybody know another way to do this?
Thank you in advance,
Oleg Cherkashin

Hi, I have a question regarding inserting numbers automatically. For example, there are 2 fields. One is CountryID and other is CountryName. From Front-end I'm entering the Country Name "India" alone and in my table the CountryID "1" or what ever the sequence should be entered. I believe this can be done using Triggers. I read on KB article in Microsoft website. But didn't get clear idea. Is that the correct way?Can any one show me a small example of this? Or give an idea for this?

Hi,
I have a decimal field in SQL Server 2000 which has a precision value of 3 and scale 1. I will be storing values ranging from 0.5 to 10.0 in there. However, in my asp.net web form, if I select the value 2.5 from the DropDownList, SQL Server stores it as 3.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and give me some pointers on what I can do to fix it? Your help is much appreciated.

Large design flaw, I know, but we have a table with a varchar field which contains alpha - numeric values. I need to change just the numerics, which can be in an position on the field:
Sample data of the field:
Rec1: Sally Morgan 201-555-1212
Rec2: 555-4040 John Smith
Rec3: Jane Houstin 201-555-6452 ext1223
Desired result:
Rec1: Sally Morgan 999-999-9999
Rec2: 999-9999 John Smith
Rec3: Jane Houstin 999-999-9999 ext9999
There's a bunch of UDFs out there for selecting just the numerics, but I'm having trouble throwing it into a viable script for repeatable execution.

Does Full text search have problems with numbers?
I have a text field in a table that has been full text indexed. Some of the data in some of the fields start with numbers.
For Example
"123p45 the bla bla bla"
When I run a standard SELECT statement on LIKE '%p4%' it returns the above record.
If I run a full text query using CONTAINS(fieldname,'"*p4*"') it returns nothing.
After much head banging I was able to get the CONTAINS to work when I used *123p4*
I figured since there are alpha characters after the p4 the second * works however since there are no preceeding alpha characters before the p4 it fails.
I would like to be able to do a "full text" search for the "p4" and get the record above.
Any feedback would be appreciated..

Hi,Please can you let me know the best solution for creating a primary key which automatically increments by 1 each time a record is added. My current Primary key is of type "Int" which increments by 1 each time, but I would like my primary key to contain "ABC" before the 1. So each time a record is added I would like to see:-ABC000001 ABC000002ABC000003Etc, EtcI am using SQL Server 2000 and creating an ASP.Net application, will I need to write code in a Stored Procedure to do this?Regards,Brett

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with data from an OLE DB source being converted from numeric [DT_R8] to text when I export it to Excel. I had the column in the spreadsheet formatted as Numeric, but when I set it up as the data destination, it is showing in SSIS as [DT_WSTR].
The SSIS job runs OK, it just converts my numeric data to text in the spreadsheet. I'm surprised that the job actually runs, since I have to do explicit data conversions for my OLE DB string data in order to convert it to unicode. From what I have read elsewhere, the decision was made in SSIS not to use implicit data conversion, but to require explicit conversion. Yet this export is converting my numeric data to text.
I would appreciate any information on how to set up the Excel Destination to properly handle numeric information.

Hi,
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql.
When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example:
http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited?
Could it be something else?
Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,

The following works just fine. The table tmpMHPCLMDET does have a column ADMTDT ( varchar(8) ).
While I am adding the sequence of numbers I like it to be sorted based on ADMTDT column.
What that means is the row with the earliest ( smallest ) ADMTDT will get 1 and the next 2 and so on.
Declare @ID int
If Exists ( Select c.name from sys.columns c where object_id = object_id('tmpMHPCLMDET') and C.name = 'ServiceLineID' )
Begin
--Adding a sequence of numbers to the ServiceLineID column.
SET @id = 0
UPDATE tmpMHPCLMDET
SET @id = ServiceLineID = @id + 1;
End;

I have a question on autogenerating numbers for a primary key field, "studyID," in a tablebut with a few twists.
We want studyID to be automatically generated as a 5-digit number. Additionally, we have two study sites and would like the studyIDs pertaining to the first site to begin with a 1 and StudyIDs associated with our second site to start with a 2. When we begin entering data, we will enter either a 1 or 2 in a field called, "Site." Upon entering that 1 or 2, we would like at that moment for Access to instantly autogenerate the appropriate studyID for that site and put it in the "StudyID" field. We want the very first number generated for each site to end in a 1 (10001 and 20001).
Heres the range of values we want our StudyIDs to be (this is to be our validation rule as well):
10001-19999 for Site 1
20001-29999 for Site 2
Your suggestions are VERY VERY WELCOME! THANKS!

In SQL 2005 if i was trying to insert some data with a text qualifier inside a text qualified field, it would work, for example:
"Name","ID ","Location","","Comany",""House Name" Road",
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.
