Evaluating Varchar String With Math

Mar 5, 2008

In reference to this thread:

http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=50392

madhivanan asks for sample table data to avoid using a cursor. I could really use this, so here is the table



CREATE TABLE #T (
FORMULA VARCHAR(15),
ANSWER decimal(15,8)
)
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1.0 + 2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2+2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/(2+2)',NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '3*7.5', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '3/2*.6-2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '(1-1)', NULL

SELECT * FROM #T

-- RUN THE MATH FUNCTIONS, UPDATE THE TABLE'S ANSWER COLUMN WITH THE ANSWER

SELECT * FROM #T

DROP TABLE #T


I would expect this output:

FORMULA ANSWER
====================
1 NULL
1.0 + 2 NULL
1/2 NULL
1/2+2 NULL
1/(2+2) NULL
3*7.5 NULL
3/2*.6-2 NULL

FORMULA ANSWER
====================
1 1.00000000
1.0 + 2 3.00000000
1/2 0.50000000
1/2+2 2.50000000
1/(2+2) 0.25000000
3*7.5 22.50000000
3/2*.6-2 -1.10000000
(1-1) 0.00000000


Any help appreciated, thanks,

Evaluating String Content

Jun 12, 2006

Our Business partners request me to read the field names from a SQL table dynamically so that my SSIS package will not get impacted if Web Service hosts make a change.

Is there a way to evaluate a string at runtime that contains a field name ?

Thanks,

String To Varchar Conversion - Sybase And SSRS

Oct 3, 2005

Hi,

I am having an issue with a Report in SSRS against a Sybase db.

The dataset for the report is a Sybase stored proc which is passed a parameter (varchar). When I run the proc in Sybase it runs fine, when I run it in SSRS in the data tab it runs fine, but when I try to preview the report, or run from IE after deploying it I get the following error:

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Query execution failed for data set 'Table_1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) Get Online Help
The given type name was unrecognized

Looks like it is an error converting the string in SSRS to a varchar in Sybase, but I don't know how to fix it.

If I create a table with an identity (int) column and the varchar column, join this to the proc and pass the int as the parameter the report works fine!! (This is not an option in production though.)

I am using SybaseASE OLE DB Provider Version 02.70.0032

Any ideas?

TIA,
Guytz

Converting Timestamp To Varchar Or Concatenating It With A String

Sep 20, 2007

Hello,

I apologise if this question has been asked before but I have searched forums and the web and have not found a solution. I am current creating a script that has a cursor that builds a sql statement to be executed e.g.

--code within cursor

SELECT '
DECLARE @Result INT
EXEC @Result = DELETE_DOCUMENT
@DocumentID = ' + STR(DocumentID) + ',
@TimeStamp =' + CAST([Timestamp] as varchar) + ',

-- CHECK RESULT AND STATUS
-- IF OK LOG IN META_BATCH ELSE LOG ERROR' AS SQL
FROM Document



The problem I am having is trying to join the timestamp column into the sql string. I have tried to cast the time stamp to a varchar but I end up with the following output for the timestamp column values

T
T€‘
T­
xnÞ
T!
T"
T#
T$
T%
T&
T'
T(
T)
T*
T+
T,

instead of


0x0000000013540F1C
0x0000000013540F1E
0x0000000013540F1F
0x0000000013786EDE
0x0000000013540F21
0x0000000013540F22
0x0000000013540F23
0x0000000013540F24
0x0000000013540F25
0x0000000013540F26
0x0000000013540F27
0x0000000013540F28
0x0000000013540F29
0x0000000013540F2A
0x0000000013540F2B
0x0000000013540F2C


which would not allow my delete script to work correctly. So I would really appreciate some advice to a pointer to where I might find out how to convert the timestamp.

Thanks
Sam

How To Pass A GUID String To A Varchar In SQL Stored Procedure

Aug 26, 2007

In my .NET app I have a search user control.  The search control allows the user to pick a series of different data elements in order to further refine your display results.  Typically I store the values select in a VarChar(5000) field in the DB.  One of the items I recently incorporated into the search tool is a userID (GUID) of the person handling the customer.  When I go to pass the selected value to the stored proc  

objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = strCriteria;
I get: Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Guid.
Ugh!  It's a string, dummy!!!   I have even tried:
objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = new Guid(strCriteria).ToString();
 and

objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = new Guid(strCriteria).ToString("B");
but to no avail.  How can I pass this to the stored proc without regard for it being a GUID in my app?

What Is The Difference Between Updating Null Value Vs Empty String To Varchar/char Field?

Aug 29, 2007

Hi,
What is the difference updating a null value to char/varchar type column

versus empty string to char/varchar type column?Which is the best to do and why?
Could anyone explain about this?

Example:

Table 1 : tCountry - Name varchar(80) nullable
Table 2 :tState - Name char(2) nullable
Table 3 :tCountryDetails - countryid,state (char(2) nullable) - May the country contain state or no state
So,when the state is not present for the country ,i have two options may be - null,''
tCountryDetails.State = '' or tCountryDetails.State = null?

SQL Server 2012 :: Case Statement On Nvarchar With Literal String Comparison To Varchar?

Apr 14, 2015

how SQL 2012 would treat a literal string for a comparison similar to below. I want to ensure that the server isn't implicitly converting the value as it runs the SQL, so I'd rather change the data type in one of my tables, as unicode isn't required.

Declare @T Table (S varchar(2))
Declare @S nvarchar(255)
Insert into @T
Values ('AR'), ('AT'), ('AW')
Set @S = 'Auto Repairs'
Select *
from @T T
where case @S when 'Auto Repairs' then 'AR'
when 'Auto Target' then 'AT'
when 'Auto Wash' then 'AW' end = T.STo summarise

in the above would AR, AT and AW in the case statement be treated as a nvarchar, as that's the field the case is wrapped around, or would it be treated as a varchar, as that's what I'm comparing it to.

SQL Server 2012 :: Find A Specific String And Replace It With Another Inside Of VARCHAR Field

Aug 14, 2015

I'm trying to find a specific string (a name) and replace it with another inside of a VARCHAR(7000) field. Unfortunately, there are names like Ted and Ken that I'm trying to replace. I would like to leave words like Broken, admitted, etc... intact.

UPDATEtbl
SETBody = LEFT(REPLACE(tbl.Body, pm.OldFirstName, p.FirstName), 7000)
FROM Table tbl
JOIN Person p ON p.PersonID = tbl.PersonID
JOIN PersonMap pm ON pm.PersonID = p.PersonID AND LEN(pm.OldFirstName) > 2
WHEREtbl.Body LIKE '%[^a-z]'+pm.OldFirstName+'[., ]%

'The problem I'm running into is that the '[, ]%' in the LIKE excludes any record that ends with the FirstName because it is requiring either a space, comma or period after the name. Is there some way to add an empty string to the list of acceptable characters as that would cover any scenario in the data? I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.

Evaluating A Parameter's Value Dynamically

Jan 25, 2006

Hi, I'm creating a dynamic SQL statement in MS SQL Server that is similiar to this:
EXEC('IF @' + @current_column + ' (SELECT ' + + @current_column etc...
I'm basically looping through a large list of parameters that correspond to column names.  However, since SQL Server treats EXEC() as its own scope when it gets to what "@' + @current_column" evaluates to it says the parameter must be declared.
Is there a way to convert "@' + @current_column " into the actual value of the parameter?

How can I monitor the disk space to ensure I do not run out of room (or is that preset as to how large it can grow ?). Can't find anything in the books online. Do I do this through the NT admin tool or through the SQL*Server Enterprise Manager and more importantly - how ???

Date Not Evaluating In An Expression

Dec 5, 2006



I have been looking all over for some info about other people having this problem, but haven't found anything.

I have a package that needs to download a dated file from an ftp site. I am using a couple script objects to set variables, and one of them is the filename based on the date. I use an expression to get the date:

@[User::varFileName] = (DT_WSTR,4) Year( GetDate()) + (DT_WSTR,2) Month( GetDate()) + Substring((DT_WSTR, 29) GETDATE(), 9, 2)

Everything works really well when I am debugging it locally. However once it is on the server or even once I come back to it in a day or two, I am still seeing the old date. I thought it might be because my variable needed to be set to evaluateexpression = true, however once I did this it hung me and prevented me from debugging and I had to end bus dev studio. Not sure if its because it is being evaluated in two places (as a global and then in a script) but when I took it out of my script it hung again. Its strange in order to get it to work when I am debugging it locally I have to go to each process and evaluate the expressions in there, then it seems to work. thanks!

Question On Evaluating Expression

May 15, 2008


Hi all€”I'm new to expressions, and am trying to write one where I can evaluate if a field is null, to handle it by inserting a default value if a null value is found. Given this table definition:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Meter Readings_stage](
[Meter System ID] [varchar](8) NOT NULL,
[Reading Date/Time] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[Meter Status] [varchar](50) NULL,
[Totalizer] [float] NULL,
[Secondary Totalizer] [real] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Secondary Totalizer2] DEFAULT (NULL),
[Demand] [real] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Demand2] DEFAULT (NULL),
[Demand Date/Time] [datetime] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Demand Date/Time2] DEFAULT (NULL),
[Reading Type] [varchar](30) NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Reading Type2] DEFAULT (NULL),
[Comments] [varchar](200) NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Comments2] DEFAULT ('None'),
[Checked?] [bit] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Checked ?2] DEFAULT ((1)),
[Estimate Required] [bit] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Estimate Required2] DEFAULT ((0)),
[Hold] [bit] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Hold2] DEFAULT ((0)),
[Processed?] [bit] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Processed2] DEFAULT ((0))

I am importing data from a CSV file where any of the fields can be null. The format is as follows:

[Meter System ID],[Reading Date],[Reading Time],[Totalizer],[Demand],[Demand Date],[Demand Time], [Reading Type]

I need to handle it something like the following in a derived column transformation, where:

[Meter System ID]: string [DT_STR]
[Reading Date]: database date [DT_DBDATE]
[Reading Time]: database time [DT_DBTIME]
[Totalizer]: float [DT_R4]
[Demand]: float [DT_R4]
[Demand Date]: database date [DT_DBDATE]
[Demand Time]: database time [DT_DBTIME]
[Reading Type]: string [DT_STR]

This is what I have built so far:
NULL((DT_DBDATE)("Reading Date")) ? (DT_DBDATE)(GETDATE()) : (DT_DBDATE)("Reading Date")

I am getting an error on the cast conversion, however. Where is the error in the evaluation?

Thanks,
Jon

Need Help Evaluating And Changing The Value Of A Subquery

Feb 1, 2008



Hello all,
I currently have a pain in the butt with a subquery that needs to be evaluated, and if the result gives me a null value, I want to re-evaluate the condition and fill the column with the proper information.
I'll try to explain it as best as I can:

The query retrieves information from 2 tables basically, but i do need some inner joins of diferent tables in order to follow the relations..
I got 2 conditions that need to be acomplished, the 'typeof' (intId_Tipo) has to be diferent from 6 and a keycode equals to 3.

For the "general query" i do filter this just fine, but in the subquery is where I get stucked:
Since the evaluation that I do in oder to find the initial point is just by substracting 1, there are some cases where the type called intId_Tipo is actually 6 and the subquery returns me a null value.
In this particular case I want to substract 2..if not I just want to substract 1.
I added a SQL CASE in oder to evaluate the null value, but it is not evaluating properly, why? I'm not sure, I need your help and recomendation guys



Here's the query that I currently have: (the comments were made in order to take the next screenshot)



Code Snippet
SELECT --h.dt_Lectura,
--h.int_Velocidad, rp.int_VelMaxima,
(SELECT intpunto FROM tblRecorrido_Puntos WHERE intPunto = case when (intPunto) is null then rp.intPunto - 2 else rp.intPunto -1 END AND rp.intId_Ruta_Ramal =intId_Ruta_Ramal AND intId_Tipo =rp.intId_Tipo) as PuntoInicial,
rp.intPunto as PuntoFinal
--rp.strDescripcion_Punto as DescripcionPuntoFinal,
--1 as Contador
--a.idRuta_Guid, a.idRamal_Guid,a.idUnidad_Guid, a.idOperador_Guid

FROM tblHistorico h
INNER JOIN tblAsignaciones a
ON a.id=h.intIdAsignaciones
INNER JOIN tblRutaRamal_Generado rrg
ON rrg.id_Ruta = a.intRuta_Asignada
INNER JOIN tblRecorrido_Puntos rp
ON (rp.intId_Ruta_Ramal =rrg.intId_Ruta_Ramal AND rp.intPunto=h.int_PtoDest)

WHERE (
h.int_ClaveTDE =3 and rp.intId_Tipo <> 6
)

ORDER BY rp.intPunto ASC

Evaluating/Validating Paramaters In A SqlDataSource

Dec 21, 2007

I want to do some error checking on the parameters found in a SQLDataSource before I run the insert.  The problem is these are ControlParameters and I want to do this dynamically so I can't just call the Control.Text property and grab its value. So how can I get access to what the ControlParameter evaluates to?
Secondly, is there a way to access what the update parameters evaluate to in order to check them before they're inserted - if so how do I get access to these?
Here's an example of one of the data sources i'm using:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlContact" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:strConn %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [ContactID], [FirstName], [LastName], , [Address], [Phone], [Grade], [Contacted], [ListServe] FROM [Contact]"
UpdateCommand="UPDATE Contact SET FirstName = @FirstName, LastName = @LastName, Email = @Email, Address = @Address, Phone = @Phone, Grade = @Grade WHERE ContactID = @ContactID"
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Contact] WHERE ContactID = @ContactID"
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Contact] ([FirstName],[LastName],,[Address],[Phone],[Grade],[Contacted],[ListServe]) VALUES (@FirstName,@LastName,@Email,@Address,@Phone,@Grade,0,0)">
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="FirstName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="LastName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Email" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Address" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Phone" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Grade" Type="String" />
</UpdateParameters>
<InsertParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="FirstName" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactFirst" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="LastName" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactLast" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="Email" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactEmail" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="Address" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactAddress" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="Phone" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactPhone" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="Grade" Type="String" ControlID="ddlContactGrade" PropertyName="SelectedValue" />
</InsertParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
 An Event is fired when I click add on a button which looks similar to this:
//Add btnAddContact_Clickprotected void btnAddContact_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
InsertRow(sqlContact);
}The InsertRow() function is then what i'm using to evaluate the values...  So how can get the values those controlparameters actually are in order to evaluate them before I actually insert.  Or is there a better way to do it?

Evaluating Derived Columns Within A Select

Sep 19, 2006

Hi
I'm updating an old Access application to SQL Server and am currently trying to decipher one of the reports on the old application. It appears to be evaluating a derived column from one query (qryStudentSuspGroup.Suspension) in the Select statement of another. I have tried to put the query that creates the derived column in as a nested query into the other query but can't get it to work. This is all a bit beyond my rudimentary SQL skills! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The original Access SQL appears below:

SELECT [Enter the academic year (4 digits)] AS [input], ResearchStudent.Department, ResearchStudent.DateAwarded,
ResearchStudent.StudentNumber, Person.Forenames AS fore, Person.Surname AS Sur, ResearchStudent.Mode,
ResearchStudent.RegistrationDate, StudentExamination.Decision,
IIf(([Suspension]) Is Null Or [Suspension]=0,([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])/365,(([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])-([Suspension]))/365) AS CompDate,
ResearchStudent.EnrollmentCategory, qryStudentSuspGroup.Suspension
FROM ((ResearchStudent LEFT JOIN Person ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = Person.PersonID)
LEFT JOIN qryStudentSuspGroup ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = qryStudentSuspGroup.ResearchStudentID)
LEFT JOIN StudentExamination ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = StudentExamination.ResearchStudentID
WHERE (((Year([DateAwarded]))>=[Enter the academic year (4 digits)]
And (Year([DateAwarded]))<=([Enter the academic year (4 digits)]+1))
AND ((IIf(Year([DateAwarded])=[Enter the academic year (4 digits)],Month([DateAwarded])>8,Month([DateAwarded])<9))<>False))
ORDER BY ResearchStudent.Department, ResearchStudent.Mode, ([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])/365

Doing Math On Tables

Oct 26, 2004

Hello everyone:

I have a database for one of my websites, a picture rating site. Anyways, right now there are quicte a few tables, and I was wondering how to give the server a break and was wondering if this was possible:

Basicly I have a members table, and a votes table. Members will rate other users pcitures on a scale of one to ten, then the votes will be inserted into the votes table. The only problem with this is that calcuating all the votes a user has can put a straing on the server. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a math column in the members table that would automaticly figure out the users average and having it stored in a field in the members table, so all I would have to do is query the members average located in the mebers table, rather than tallying all the votes in the votes table for each member.

Hope this makes sense, a tutorial or any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

Date Math In SQL - How To Do?

Jan 16, 2006

I have some dates stored in a field named "visit"

In a select they show as the format:
2005-07-28 10:45:00.000


So I need to write a query that will select Visits that are more than 90 days old. I thought it might be something simple like:

Select * from patientVisit where ((getdate())-Visit>90)

But that is pulling all visits not just 90 day old ones.

How do I pull the current date/time and compute the cutoff date time that would be 90 days prior for my selection Where clause?

Thanks
