'm trying to get the value from a column in a SQL Server table that contains XML but the type of the column is not XML it is TEXT.
I tried this:
SELECT
[Id],
[Request]
FROM
[Tracker]
WHERE
[Request].value('/Credit[1]/Loan[1]/LoanApp[1]/Applicant[1]/Personal[1]/Individals[1]/Individual[1]/GivenName[1]/FirstName[1]', 'nvarchar(50)') = 'Tom'
but I get this error :
Cannot find either column "Request" or the user-defined function or aggregate "Request.value", or the name is ambiguous.
I tried to cast the column like this:
select
CAST(CAST(Request AS NTEXT) AS XML).value('(/Credit[1]/Loan[1]/LoanApp[1]/Applicant[1]/Personal[1]/Individuals[1]/Individual[1]/GivenName[1]/FirstName[1]', 'nvarchar(50)')
from Tracker but with this I get this error:
XML parsing: line 1, character 15, A string literal was expected
What would the syntax be to insert a column to the right of this one, and extract the first 8 digits from the data in the DATEID column and insert that into the new column DATE, therefore making it easier for me to query against an actual date?
I am trying to teach myself SSIS and need some help, please.
I have SQL table A as my source with column X. I need to add column Z and populate it from SQL table B, column Y where table A column X >= table B column R and <= table B column S.
Thus: Populate A.z with B.y where A.x >= B.r and A.x <=B.s
The interval between B.r and B.s is unique and only one value will be returned.
Hi, I have a table with one XML type column. This column holds custom field information. Its used as a way of storing ad hoc fields and data that don't fit the DB design. <?xml version="1.0"?><contact><Reference>A39390TFH</Reference><Misc>all kinds of stuff go in here</Misc></contact>I want to provide a way of displaying the data stored in this column in the same DataTable as normal relational data from the same table. I have been able to achieve this goal BUT I want to know if the community had any ideas on how I could speed the process. I am using the XML value() function. It allows me to extract the data I need. SELECT Name, Number, Reference FROM
GROUP BY Name, Number, Reference anyone know if there are better xml functions to get this data out of the XMLColumn?????? There is no schema, because each xml fragment has different tags and different values. Regards Niall
I have table Called as ‘DC_BIL_ActivityLog’ and XML column name is ‘ActivityDescription’ in SQL Server 2012.
The following information stored on that Column. I want to read cancellation date (12/23/2015) using select statement.
<ActivityDescription> <text value="PCN was initiated for Policy ^1 on 12/07/2015. Cancellation Date is: 12/23/2015. Amount needed to rescind PCN is: $XX.80." /> <link id="1" linkText="GLXXXP2015 12/02/2015 - 12/02/2016" linkType="policy"> <linkId parm="1" value="1140" /> </link> </ActivityDescription>
Hello, I'm having trouble extracting the datetime value of a datacolumn in order to compare it's value to another datetime. The error I get is "unable to cast object of type System.Data.DataColumn to type System.DateTime. I'm sure I'm just missing a step or a cast, but nothing has worked. I hope someone can help! Here's the code: protected void ddlRooms_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlCommand cmd; SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["EventBookingConnectionString"].ConnectionString); SqlDataAdapter da; DataSet ds; try { cmd = conn.CreateCommand(); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Events.ID as 'Event ID', Name as 'Event Name', Rooms.Room as 'Event Room', AttendeeList as 'Attendee List', EventDate as 'Event Date' from Events INNER JOIN Rooms on Events.Room=Rooms.ID"; ds = new DataSet(); da = new SqlDataAdapter(); da.SelectCommand = cmd; da.Fill(ds, "BookedRooms"); if (ds.Tables["BookedRooms"].Columns["Event Room"] != null) { foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { string room = (string)row["Event Room"]; if (ddlRooms.SelectedItem.ToString() == room) { System.DateTime date = (System.DateTime)ds.Tables[0].Columns["Event Date"]; //HERE'S WHERE THE ERROR OCCURS if (Calendar1.SelectedDate == date) { lblBookedRooms.Visible = true; lblBookedRooms.Text = "I'm sorry, that room is booked for that day.<br />Please choose another day or a different room."; } } } } } catch (Exception ex) { lblResults.Text = ex.Message; } } Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out!

All the column names in upper case are actually symptom names, and in those columns are values {NULL, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and they belong in a column, so the normalized structure should be like this:
CREATE TABLE Symptom ( PatientID INT NOT NULL, Cycle TINYINT NOT NULL, SymptomName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, -- from the source column *name* Grade TINYINT NOT NULL -- from the value in the column with the name in uppercase PRIMARY KEY (PatientID, Cycle, SymptomName));
I can untwist the repeating groups with the code I borrowed from Kenneth Fisher's article [ here ], but the part I'm having a harder time with is grabbing the information that's still left in the column name and integrating it into the solution...
I can retrieve all the column names that are in uppercase using this:
DECLARE @db_id int; DECLARE @object_id int; SET @db_id = DB_ID(N'SCRIDB'); SET @object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'SCRIDB.dbo.BadTox'); SELECT name AS column_name , column_id AS col_order FROM sys.all_columns WHERE name = UPPER(name) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS AND object_id = @object_id;
but I can't figure out how to work it into this (that I built by mimicking Kenneth Fisher's article...):
ALTER PROC [dbo].[UnpivotMaxGradeUsingCrossApply] AS SELECT PatientID , Toxicity , MAX(Grade) AS MaxGrade
[code]....
The problem is that I need to extract the column names (where ToxicityName[n] would be). I can do that by querying the sys.all_columns view, but I can't figure out how to integrate the two pieces. About the only thing I have even dreamed up is to build the VALUES(...) statements dynamically from the values returned by the system view.
So how do I get both the value from the ToxicityName[n] column and the column name into my final data query?
I have to extract a specific part of a string from a column in a sql server table. Following are the details and I have given the sample table and the sample strings.
I have 2 columns in my table [dbo].[StringExtract] (Id, MyString)
The row sample looks like the following
I have to extract the Id and a part of the column from mystring.
Id MyString 1 ABC|^~&|BNAME|CLIENT1||CLIENT1|20110609233558||BIC^A27|5014589635|K|8.1| ABC1|^~&|BNAME1|CLIENT1||CLIENT1|20110609233558||CTP^A27|5014589635|I|7.1| DEF||5148956598||||Apprised|Bfunction1||15|LMP|^^^201106101330| alloys3^ally^crimson^L||||alloys3^ally^crimson^L||||alloys3^ally^crimson^L|||||Apprised|
[Code] ....
The part I want to extract is in the line "ZZZ" and the string part that i want to extract is between the 5th and 6th pipes (|). So my output looks like the following
Id DesiredString 1 Extracts^This^String1 2 Extracts^This^String2 3 Extracts^This^String3
Is there a way to extract this either using TSQL or SSIS.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[StringExtract]') AND type in (N'U')) DROP TABLE [dbo].[StringExtract] GO IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[StringExtract]') AND type in (N'U')) BEGIN CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StringExtract]( [Id] [int] NULL,
I need to extract specific text elements from a varchar column. There are three keywords in any given string: "wfTask," "wfStatus" and "displayReportFromWorkflow." "wfTask" and "wfStatus" can appear multiple times, but always as a pair and will each be followed by by "==" (with or without surrounding spaces). "displayReportFromWorkflow" is always followed by "(" and there can be spaces on either side. The text elements will be between a pair of double quotes, and following one of keywords. For each row, I need to return the task, status and report name.
Output: rowID, Task, Status, ReportName ----- --------- ------- ------------------------ 1, Issuance, Issued, General Permit 2, Issuance, Issued, Capacity Letter Type III 2, Review, Denied, Capacity Letter Type III
I started with a string splitter using the double quote character, referencing elements "i" and "i+1" where the text like '%wfTask%' or '%wfStatus%' or '%displayReportFromWorkflow%', but the case of multiple task/status in a row has confounded me so far.
I am working in an environment where i inherited bad design. I have a column in a table. This col contains huge HTML files. We are mostly reading these files and very little updates.
I am changing this whole architecture and going to using Azure Blob storage. I am stuck right now. I need to extract these html strings and save them into separate files in year/month/day/filename.html format. I have another column in the table which has create date saved in it.
I am planning to import all these files into BLOB storage and save link in the table.
1) How can i extract these strings from the table and save them in the year/month/day/filename.html directory/sub-directory format
I am stuck with a problem and need your help. As we know, all columns that go to error flow of flat file source connection are displayed as a single column e.g. FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, but my requirement is to extract the first column value from this FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, my data is dilimeted by "|" pipe operator. I have created a script component to deal with this. However if we take FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn column as input column in script component, it comes as BLOB data. I wrote below code in transformation script component to extract BLOB data from column in string form and then do a Left function search to take first column out.
When I am running this script component I am getting '??????????' question marks as a result in Row.Pname.
Can anyone please help me understand if I am doing anything wrong in this script or suggest a better way to take the data out?
I appreciate your help.

Is there a way to extract the date part (11/27/2012) of a datetime/time stamp column (11/27/2012 00:00:00.000) and keep it in a date format?
The code i have below extracts the date part of a timestamp column and converts it to a char field. This becomes a problem when I joing the resultant table with a SAS dataset which contains the same column but is in a date format. The join process generates an error saying the column is in different formats.
I have a table that has the first name and last name together in one field (stupid I know). I want to extract the first name from the field and copy it into another field names, well, firstname. I figure it might be possible since there is a comma after the last name. But how can I do this?
So for:
STRNAME ------------- adams, john ------------- washington, michael -------------
I want it to be like this
STRNAME | STRFIRSTNAME --------------------------- adams | john --------------------------- washington | michael
So I guess there would be two parts to the statement:
1. First I need to select or trim the strname field to the comma. BUT I don't want to just trim it- I want to copy it.
2. The next thing I need to do is to copy the lastname (the part that I trimmed) into a new field which I created called lastname.
I posted this a while ago with no luck and I'm going to try it again:
I have a column called strlastname with contains the firstname and last name of a client. I want to separate out the first name and last name into into two separate fields. I figured maybe I can do it easier if I copied the column into the table. So now I have a column called strfirstname that contains the first name and the last name and a colmn called strlastname that contains the first name and last name. The lastname is seperated from the first name with a comma like this:
I need to find rows from the above table which has the first occurence of the corresponding ID. This the output will contain the rows that will have first occurence of the following ids.
1067381, 1087668, 109754, 1103377.
How does one handle this. I have not been able to come up with the sql yet.
I have a package which establishes connection with DB2 server.I dont have any db2 application where i can format query for db2.This is my query in access/sql. can someone help me converting it into a db2 query.i tryed to google and use the functions but i failed and even the error that ssis gives don't help asthey are same for any type of error.

SELECT table1.YYYY & table1.MM as MO_YR, table2.CNTRYCD AS CNTRY_CD, Sum(table1.AMT) AS [VALUE] FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON (table1.MM = table2.MM) AND (table1.YYYY = table2.YYYY) WHERE (table1.YYYY BETWEEN YEAR(DATE()) AND YEAR(DATEADD("m",-3,DATE()))) AND (table1.MM BETWEEN MONTH(DATE()) AND MONTH(DATEADD("m",-3,DATE()))) GROUP BY table2.CNTRYCD, table1.YYYY, table1.MM
I need to get some data from an enormous, creaky old SQL 6.5 database.I know nothing about either the data schema (though I believe some sortof documentation exists), nor 6.5 for that matter, having come to SQLServer at 7.0.My clients need the data in comma delimited format.Please, can anyone suggest any possibilities? One thing that occurredto me might be to create an Access application, use an ODBC link to theSQL DB, and then leverage Access' not inconsiderable functionality toget the data out.Does anyone foresee any problems with this, or any better ways?Forever in your debt.Edward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.uk

Hi, I'm hoping someone has an idea or two on this topic. Basically I have three tables of data say tContact, tQuestion, tAnswer
tContact ----------- ContactID Email Name
tQuestion ------------ QuestionID Question
tAnswer ------------ QuestionID ContactID Answer
I need to extract the data for the client and they would like to see the data with one line per contact, but showing every answer to every question... they would like the data formatted like this:
Obviously to get the data I cansimply do an outerjoin to get all contact data then all questions, and answers that exist... but that will obviously return tabular data with one row per each answer... Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this using just SQL? I can pull the data and write a function that spits it out to text using the Stringbuilder class and some logic, but I'm thinking this must be possible in SQL natively... any help would be more than appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Lets say I have a column of type varchar and need to extract an integer value from the middle of it. The string looks like this:'this part is always the same' + integer of varying length + 'this part is different but always the same length'Is there a way to trim the constant string lengths from the beginning and end?
