Is there an easy way to loop through all rows and remove all
international alphabet characters from a column in a table, for example
remove German umlauts "ü" and convert them to a simple "u".
Thanks,

Hi all
Which function should I use to remove alphabet in a string?
For example, 60a , 50b, 34s, 34k. I want to remove the suffix alphabet. I tried to use filter but it return an array. i want the return value to be string or int to display.
Thanks
Bryan
I managed to transpose rows into columns.
;WITH
ctePreAgg AS
(
select top 500 act_reference "ActivityRef",
row_number() over (partition by act_reference order by act_reference) as rowno,
t3.s_initials "Initials"
from mytablestuff
order by act_reference
[code]...
But what I would love to do next is take each of the above rows - and return the initials either in one column with all the nulls and duplicate values removed, separated by a comma ..
ref, initials
Ag-4xYS
Ag-6xYS,BL
Ap-1xKW
At-2x SAS,CW
At-3x SAS,CW
OR the above but using variable number of columns based on the maximum number of different initials for each row.this is not strictly required, but maybe neater for further work on the view
ref, init1,init2
Ag-4xYS
Ag-6xYS,BL
Ap-1xKW
At-2x SAS,CW
At-3x SAS,CW
I would like to know how to produce the following in a query.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOk, so I've been racking my brains on this one for a while now and figured it was time to ask for some help...
I have a table named tblAppInfo that looks something like this:
Code Block
user_name app_name app_ver
User1 MS Word 2000
User2 MS Word 2000
User3 MS Excel 2000
User4 MS Excel 2000
User5 MS Excel 2000
User6 MS Excel 2000
User7 MS Outlook 2000
User8 MS PowerPoint 2000
User9 Adobe Acrobat 5.0
User10 Adobe Acrobat 6.0
User11 Adobe Acrobat 7.0
What I want to do is remove any rows that repeat the app_name and app_ver more than twice. Basically in the example above, it would remove the lines that have MS Excel 2000 (as it's listed 4 times). MS Word 2000 would stay as it's only listed twice. As would Outlook and PowerPoint. All 3 Adobe's would also stay as their versions are different.
I've tried the following but it still repeats applications that occur more than twice:
Code BlockSELECT user_name, app_name, app_ver
FROM tblAppInfo
GROUP BY app_name, app_ver, user_name
having count(distinct app_name + app_ver + tblAppInfo.host_name) < 3
ORDER BY app_name, app_ver
I've also tried using nested select statements and everything else in my arsenal to no avail. I hope someone here will be able to help me out as I'm afraid I'll go bald if I try anymore!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have a common requirement in numerous SSIS processes to take my main input data set and to remove all rows from it that match a second input data set on a given key and output this as the main output. I also want to output (as a second output) all the rows from the main input data set that did match on the given key. However, I don't want to merge in data from the second input, nor am I interested in rows from the second input data set that have no match in the main input.
E.g. If I have the following data:
Main input:
Key Name
--- ----
1 Steve
2 Jamie
3 Donald
Second Input
Key DontCareAboutThisField1
--- -----------------------
1 ...
3 ...
4 ...
Then I would like the following output:
Main Output
Key Name
--- ----
2 Jamie
Second Output
Key Name
--- ----
1 Steve
3 Donald
Can I do this with a standard transform, or will I have to write my own? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie

If we want to remove the duplicate row and leave only one row instead of 2 or 3 rows for example with the same column values.
2/ The same question but when all the columns of the row are duplicate except the id field.

I have 4 tables (SqlServer2000/2005). In the select query, I have FULL JOINED all the four tables A,B,C,D as I want all the data. The result is as sorted by DDATE desc:-
AID BID BNAME DDATE DAUTHOR
1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:42:21.610 c@d.com
1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:41:52.970 a@b.com
1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-21 00:17:14.360 c@d.com
1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-20 23:43:17.110 a@b.com
1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-20 23:42:43.937 a@b.com
1 2 xyzabc NULL NULL
2 3 pqrlmn NULL NULL
2 4 cdefgh NULL NULL
Now, I want unique rows from the above result set like :-
AID BID BNAME DDATE DAUTHOR
1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:42:21.610 c@d.com
1 2 xyzabc 2008-01-21 00:17:14.360 c@d.com
2 3 pqrlmn NULL NULL
2 4 cdefgh NULL NULL
I want to remove the duplicate rows and show only the unique rows but contains all the data from the first table A. I have to bind this result set to a nested GridView.
I have a dataset in my report that pulls 10 fields. One of the tablixes on report should display only 8 of the 10 fields and this is causing the duplicate records to show up on the tablix.I tried hide duplicates option for the entire details row and have set the scope to "Details". It did not work. I am getting the data from a stored procedure and cannot do much on that.

I have a results table that was created from many different sources in SSIS. I have done calculations and created derived columns in it. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove duplicate rows from this table without first writing it to a temp sql table and then parsing through it to remove them.
each row has a like key in a column - I would like to remove like rows keeping specific columns in the resulting row based on the data in this key field.
Ideas?

I need to increment values
I have written this script execute this :
This is for this scenario
Insert Into #String SELECT 'S601-S630',1,'Desc1'
Drop table #IDs
CREATE TABLE #IDs(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) ,String VARCHAR(100),Flag Int,Description VARCHAR(1000))
CREATE TABLE #string(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) ,String VARCHAR(100),Falg Int,Descript VARCHAR(1000))
DECLARE @min INT ,@Max INT ,@String VARCHAR(50),@Start VARCHAR(50),@End VARCHAR(50),@Flag INT,@Desc VARCHAR(1000)
[Code] ....
How I need to increment if the input is like this
Insert Into #String SELECT '6S01-6S30',1,'Desc1'
if alphabet is in middle of the number??
I have one table with one column:
region
Global
USA
England
Germany
Spain
What I want is that the first entry Global is always in the first row the rest should be ordered by alphabet.
I tried this but order by works only for the result of union:
SELECT * FROM csappcidb_region WHERE region='Global'
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM csappcidb_region WHERE region<>'Global' ORDER BY region
What else can I do?
Got a tough one here for you SQL junkies.I'm working on a website (in ASP) for a national greek/collegeorganization. All it's college chapters have greek chapter names,i.e. Alpha Chapter, Delta Chapter, Delta Iota Chapter, Gamma PhiChapter, ect. ect.I need the SQL to return the chapters in greek alphabet ordering. Seebelow:1. Alpha2. Beta3. Gamma4. Delta5. Epsilon6. Zeta7. Eta8. Theta9. Iota10. Kappa11. Lambda12. Mu13. Nu14. Xi15. Omicron16. Pi17. Rho18. Sigma19. Tau20. Upsilon21. Phi22. Chi23. Psi24. OmegaBasically I need a way to specify this type of presedence for wordingand keep all the results in greek-letter order, so Sigma Upsilon comesbefore Sigma Tau, and so on.Also, to make it even more difficult, these are written words, not theactual greek symbols like α β etc. Everything is stored inthe DB as Alpha Beta Whateva Chapter.Hopefully some of you SQL junkies will be able to help on this one ;)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a basic while loop but I need to be able to increment the counter from one alpha character to the next:
declare @counter nvarchar(10)
set @counter = 'A'
while @counter < 'Z'
beginprint 'the counter is ' + @counter
set @counter = @counter + @counter
end
In this example I would need to see the following output:
the counter is Athe counter is Bthe counter is Cthe counter is D.....
Is this possible in SQL?
I need to create constraint in column to add only alphabet .

Quick background....
I have a file that is currently in Bulgarian (not unicode) that we want to import into a development environment for testing. However, the only way I can view the file as "non-gibberish" is for me to switch my local settings (on the OS) to Bulgarian. Then of course the file is readable in Bulgarian.
Now they have sent the following snipet of code asking if I can somehow add this to the DTS package? The purpose of this code is to...
They're sending me a C# routine to transpose the 10 or so Bulgarian-specific characters in the text fields.
They hope we can include this routine in the DTS package.
Here is the code....
private string StrFix( string InStr )
{
string Result = InStr;
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2591', 'ð' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2592', 'ñ' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2593', 'ò' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2502', 'ó' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2524', 'ô' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2561', 'õ' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2562', 'ö' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2556', '÷' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2555', 'ø' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2563', 'ù' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2551', 'ú' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x255d', 'ü' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x255b', 'þ' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2510', 'ÿ' );
Result = Result.Replace( 'x2552', '¹' );
return Result;
}
My questions... (as I'm not familiar with C#)
1. Do you guys see anything I'm not?
2. Is it possible to add this code to DTS package and have it change the 10 characters?
3. Wouldn't this be easier if their sample was in unicode?
Thanks in advance
Could SQL Server Express store international characters, such as Tradtional Chinese? Please give the instructions in greater details.

Hi,
I have a report which lists out the employees' details. I need A-Z links above the report, On clicking on an alphabet, say "C", should display all the employee details whose name starts with the selected alphabet. In the stored procedure we can accept the character and return back those results. But it is not a drill report and we need the result in the same report. Is there any way so that on clicking each link, the output will be shown in the same report. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

hi all
We are a multi site / multi language company so do not want to hardcode the date format - these reports will be on intranet
Using MS Sql - Reporting Services 2005
RecvdDate field = yyyy-mm-dd - is how it is displayed.
I added a @startdate and an @enddate parameter and am using the
calendar - so a user picks off the calendar
I read up and saw this information:
Report properties set
'Language' setting to '=User!Language' to detect user
culture automatically
My regional settings are set to English (New Zealand)
but whatever I do I receive no data - (data is definately there eg when run without parameters) so it is obviously the parameter that is incorrect.
Can someone give me some advice on what else to check.
thanks
Hello!
This is a new problem to me being a junior, and I'm quite sure this is a problem that will occur for more and more people as time goes on.
My company has offices from around the world, and naturally there are databases all over the place. We have a main one which the sites run off here in the UK, otherwise we use SAP (like so many others) and Viper. There are also apparently Marketing databases which I have never even seen...
There is a nightly import into the main databases, but its choking fairly regularly and the data we are getting out is outright filthy.
Anyway, the boss wants a "data firewall" with a rules engine sitting on top controlling what is clean and what is not. Sounds great, but I don't really know where to start. Does anyone have any advice on a design for this? We are currently using SQL Server 2000 but should be moving to 2005 very shortly (not 2008 it seems :-( ).
Is this something I can develop in a .net language or can it be done purely on a SQL Server basis? Keep in mind the rules engine which should have a useable interface for a techie who is not heavily trained in SQL Server (like a .net developer).
Apologies for the long post and thank you very much for any inspiring (or not) ideas. :-)
