In MS Sql 2000 - is it possible to find the literal underscore character (_). Something like:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
where the query would return "a_abc", "a_cba", and "a_lksdfjlkdsjlksjdfl", but not "abc"?
I've tried:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like ( 'a' + CHAR(95) + '%' )
Any other suggestions?
I'm attempting to doing a search of the db for all name entries with the underscore character "_".
I use %_% and get all the entries.
What am I doing wrong?
Help .... thanks!

Hi friends,
I got troubles when I tried to pass table name to sp_columns via
@local_variable:
declare @tname as char(50)
set @tname = 'TB_MyTable'
exec sp_columns @tname
result of such script is:
TABLE_QUALIFIER ...[skipped]
-----------------------------------
(0 row(s) affected)
But if I will say:
exec sp_columns 'TB_MyTable'
result will be correct (all neccessary data about columns will be provided)
So, looks like if I pass table name which contains underscore via
@local_variable or SP parameter - result will be wrong.
If table name won't contains underscore - everything works fine and result
of script:
declare @tname as char(50)
set @tname = 'MyTable'
exec sp_columns @tname
will be absolutely correct.
Please, anybody can clarify this situation ???
Thanks in advance,
Michael

I want to establish logging using NT Security. The problem is that user names in NT have underscore(_). When I establish NT Scurity in SQL security manager, SQL Server tries to add blank names as login id and they will not go through. Is it manadatory to remove underscore from username?
Because of structrual hierarchy, I have different groups in NT to be mapped to SQL Server groups and each group has different permission on SQL tables. In some cases we might have same users in more than one group. I read that it is not possible if you use NT integrated security. Is there any thing that can be worked around this and is this problem still exists in SQL 7.
Thank you in advance

set @var = 'id'
select [name], definition,version_code

where freetext([name],@var)

Howdy,Is it okay to use a literal value with the IN clause. E.g.SELECT somefield, anotherfield.....WHERE ...etc.AND 1234 IN (SELECT userid FROM tblUsers)I was told it wasn't valid, but I'm pretty sure it worked for me. Justseeking clarification.cheers,

A really basic problem in psuedo code...
select * from mytable where email = 'test@go.com'
This throws back:
Unclosed quotation mark before the character string 'test@'.
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'test@'.
Unclosed quotation mark before the character string ''.
Because of the 'go'. Other addresses featuring 'go' suffer the same problem. How do I escape it?

I have a stored procedure that starts like this:
.
.
.
UPDATE Employees
set depth=0, hierarchy=NULL
UPDATE Employees
set depth=1, hierarchy=right(@MaxPadLength + CAST(Employees.Parent AS varchar(255)),@DisplayPadLength)
where Child = Parent
WHILE EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM Employees
WHERE Depth=0
)
.
.
.
I have many tables that have the same structure as the Employees table but have different names. I would like to pass the PS a paramater with the table name I want to process. My question is what is the correct syntax to use a parameter in place of the literals for the table name?
Thanks
I am trying to extract the month from a date field, and I am able to get the integer for the month, however, when I try to convert the integer to the literal, e.g. 3 to March, I am having issues.
I have a field called PROCES, which represents a date processed, which is numeric(8).... i.e. 20061231.
I am using:
SELECT datepart(mm,cast(convert(char(8),PROCES)as datetime))
which gives me the correct integer.
When I try:
SELECT datename(mm,datepart(mm,cast(convert(char(8),PROCES)as datetime)))
I get January for all records...?
Does anyone know why, and how to fix.
Thanks
What exactly is happening when a query is sent using the N in front ofthe string to be found?Under what conditions would someone use the N' in a query?I have been testing out some chinese text. I set up some fields ofnVarchar, nText and it works with an N. Without the N, it wont work.N also works with fields of varchar and text for english.Would this ever cause a problem to a query depending on how themachines regional settings are set? Why not just put N in all of thequeryies?If anyone has some ideas, I would be grateful for any and allinformation about the N.

Hi,
I want to convert literal string to unicode before insert into the database. and after insertion i want to retrive this value from data base and convert back to literal string.
pls tell me how to incode and decode literal string to unicode and from unicode to literal string.
When a report is exported to Excel, the footer is set to a literal "page 1 of 1" even though it's specified as
="Page " + CStr(Globals!PageNumber) + " of " + CStr(Globals!TotalPages)
in the rldc report definition.
Hence, if you print from Excel every page has the 'page 1 of 1' footer. Not very useful.
Is there a way to either suppress the output of the footer (only when going to Excel cause you need it when exporting to PDF) -or- get it to generate the correct excel footer of 'page 1 of ?'????
Thanks,
I'm struggling with the syntax for qualifying an openquery's results with a where clause. I copied this from examples on the web but get the error incorrect syntax near '32810'.
declare @sysid varchar(50) = '32810C534D01C920E7CB07EBC0A80122'
declare @sql varchar(500) =
'select * from OPENQUERY(WAREHOUSE,''select * from xxx.yyyy where sys_id = ''' + @sysid + ''''')'
exec(@sql)
selecting @sql it looks like
select * from OPENQUERY(WAREHOUSE,'select * from xxx.yyyy where sys_id = '32810C534D01C920E7CB07EBC0A80122'')
Hi,
I'm a newbee to SQL Server. I have a very simple question to you experts: How should I code a literal of the "datetime"-Datatype? For Example in the VALUES-clause of an SQL-statement. I have tested several "formats" ('20.04.2006 11:15:00' with an 4-digit year enclosed in single apostrophes) but all i earned is an exception!
Any help very appreciated!
Thanks in advance and best regards

PS.: I'm using a german-localized database (thus the date-format dd.MM.yyyy).
The proc below does two queries that are functionally identical. The only difference is that one LIKE 'foo%', and the other uses LIKE @searchText, where @searchText = 'foo%'.
But the first does an index seek, and the second does an index scan -- and it makes a big difference in performance. (Timing stats are below.)
How can I make the second query seek instead of scanning?
CREATE PROCEDURE test_like
@searchText nvarchar(64)
AS
-- Straight literal string search
SELECT companyId
FROM companies
WHERE searchbrand LIKE 'foo%'
-- With param
SELECT companyId
FROM companies
WHERE searchbrand LIKE @searchText
OPTION(OPTIMIZE FOR(@searchText = 'foo%'))
GO
EXEC test_like 'foo%'
-- Query 1:
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 1 ms.
-- Query 2:
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 47 ms, elapsed time = 40 ms.
Hello all,
From what I've read, SQL Server is supposed to do a phrase match when you do a full text search that contains quoted literals. So, for example, if I did a full text search on the phrase "time out" and I put it in quotes, it's supposed to search for the full phrase "time out" and not just look for rows that contain the words "time" or "out." However, this isn't working for me.
Here is the query that I'm using :
SELECT *
FROM Content_Items ci
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, hed, '"time out"') AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]
ORDER BY ft.RANK DESC
What's it's doing is this : it's returning a bunch of rows that have the words "time" or "out" in the column called hed. It's also returning rows that have the full phrase "time out", but it's giving those rows the same rank as rows that only contain the word "time." In this case, that rank is 180.
Is there anything else I should be doing in my query, or is there some configuration option I should have turned on?
Thanks.
The Web Service Task seems to support calling methods using parameters but not (as far as I can see) using the Document/Literal calling convention. Is this correct? Is this likely to change in the future?
Thanks

Hi, I have a datareader component of which i am dynamically setting its sqlcommand statement with expression (click the background of dataflow > properties > expressions). Now my sql select statement has about 600 fields so that makes my expression statment "select field1, field2, .....from table1 where field2 >=" + @[User::dateforfield2] but when i evalute the expresssion (which is right), i get the error: A string literal in the expression exceeds the maximum allowed length of 4000 character and i think its because of the fields in my select statment causing my string literal to grow more than 4000 characters. Is there any way to increase the max string literal for expressions. Please help.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on SSRS report deployed on the sharepoint.

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.
Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am working on an application that does a property search off of a database that contains approximately 40000 records. The search criteria allows the use to specify a minimum and maximum price, subdivision name, number of bedrooms, etc. I set up a stored procedure to query the databse. if one of the parameters is not specified, i simply pass it a "%". However, when i execute this sproc in Query Analyzer, it takes in excess of 10 seconds to return the records, even if only one or two are returned. I am assuming this is due to the use of the wildcard character when the user does not have a preference, but I am not sure of any other way to do this. Any help on this topic would be grealy appreciated.
