Separate Lowercase Characters From Uppercase Characters
Mar 5, 2008
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?

Update Query Using Uppercase
Dec 30, 2004Hi,
I have a table where the values in the Description field are all upper case. I found a script that will change all the words to UPPERCASE in the first character then LOWERCASE for the remaining until the next space is found. It will also repeat this for all words in the field.
The part I need help with is having this repeat through the entire table. Heres the code and thanks - troy
declare @input varchar(20)
declare @position int
set @input = (SELECT Description FROM tbl_ItemMast where wallysku ='10071')
set @position = 1
SET @input = Upper(substring(@input,1,1))+ LOWER(substring(@input,2,len(@input)-1))
WHILE @position < DATALENGTH(@input)
Begin
set @position = charindex(' ',@input,@position+1)
if @position = 0
goto done
SET @input = REPLACE(@input,substring(@input,@position,2),Upper(substring(@input,@position,2)))
End
DONE:
PRINT @input

View 5 Replies View RelatedPredicate Or Key Word All In Uppercase?
Jul 12, 2006Hi,
What is the dowside of not using all uppercase for predicates and key words?
I cannot find to see a problem beside adhering to a clean coding convention. After all I already have color coding so what would be the uppercase for?
Same question for the semicolon ; at the end of a sql block. Is that real necessary not to get in trouble sometime down the road or is it a non-issue. I find like I am now a C# guys if I use these ;
Just curious, I find tedious to switch from all upper case to normal case all the time. And not forget to type the ;

Analysis :: TOP N Plus Rest
Nov 17, 2015I need to create a dynamic top count of customers, plus the rest. I've seen many posts on this, however the difference I want is that the rest needs to be expandable to show what customers actually make up the rest category. For example:
Top
Cust1
Cust5
Cust2
Rest
Cust3
Cust4
I was thinking potentially the top/rest could be a shell dimension and then scope on these members to show the top and rest, however I haven't been able to achieve this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedPulling Out PO# From The Rest Of The Job Descrip.
Apr 29, 2008Hello, I am new here and to sql so please bare with me.
I am trying to create 2 select statements from the same field. The field is a job_description field that sometimes contains PO#'s. One select statement needs to extract the PO# if it has been written in the field and the other needs to extract all data that is not the PO#
Here is some example of the data:
New shirts for 2007
Magazine cover for may edition
Way to go postcards PO# 45687
PO#879
For the first select statement I need to capture just the PO#. the result for the above examples would be:
NULL
NULL
45687
879
For the second select statement I need everything but the PO#. The result would be:
New shirts for 2007
Magazine cover for may edition
Way to go postcards
NULL
So far I have put together a basic idea for the PO# part:
(SELECT SUBSTRING (job_description , (SELECT patindex('%PO#%', job_description)+3),10)WHERE job_description LIKE '%po#%')
If i could figure out a way to only return numeric data from the above i think it will work.
As for the second select statement i am at a loss on how to select everything but the PO#.
Any help at all is very much appreciated.

Retaining Records Of Top N Rows And Deleting The Rest
May 15, 2008Hi All,
I am writing a SP where I need to pass an value to maintain records of last n days. In this SP I am deleting a couple of tables based on the value passed to this SP. For e.g. If the SP is passed the value 10, then only TOP 10 records is maintained, the rest are deleted.
I have formed the following logic, which I feel can be improved vastly.
I create a temp table and
CREATE TABLE #TempAuditTbl (Rownum int PRIMARY KEY, Orderid uniqueidentifier)
INSERT INTO #TempAuditTbl
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY orderdate desc) AS rownum, Orderid FROM Orders
DELETE Orders FROM Orders INNER JOIN #TempAuditTbl adt ON adt.Orderid = Orders.Orderid AND rownum > @TopnRows
DROP TABLE #TempAuditTbl
OR
DELETE FROM Orders WHERE orderid NOT IN ( SELECT TOP @TopnRows OrderID FROM Orders ORDER BY OrderDate desc)
This way I am able to keep the top n records.
Which of these two solutions is more efficient? Is there a more efficient way to achieve the same.
Please help.
Thanks & regards

Delete/Move Certain Info From Column - Leave The Rest?
Nov 10, 2005I have a column that contains extra info that needs to be moved to another column or deleted alltogether. is there a way to select these items and move them to another column, leaving the rest of the data in the original column?
EXAMPLE
MYTABLE >COLUMN1
May have Data Like: ABCDE123 SER1 or XYZ12DEFSer1:1
WHAT I NEED TO DO IS
Move anything after the SER1 to a new column and retain the rest of the data in the original column. making it look something like this:
COL1 COL2
ABCDE123 SER1
XYZ12DEF Ser1:1
Another question is if there is a way to delete extra spaces? Like make all data that has two or more extra spaces, just single spaces and any additional spacing after a row of data, delete all additional spaces after the last letter/character/number.
One more question - What would be a great resource to learn MS SQL in more depth?
