Hi,
another problem I have is that have compounded fields in my sql table.
Example
product@customer
I need a simple function to return "customer", so it should return the value
after "@", unfortunate "@" will sometimes be character number 6, sometimes
character number 7 etc.
regards
Jorgen
I'm new to SQL and I'm trying to write a statement to satisfy the following:
If [Field1] contains text from [Field2] then return [Field3] as [Field4].
I had two tables where there were no matching keys. I did a cross apply and am now trying to parse out the description to build the key.
I know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?

Does ORDER BY work on character data type in SQL Server through ODBC?
I tried using the SQL Query Tool in SQL Enterprise Manager and it works but using through ODBC I can't get any results.
Query: SELECT company_id, company_name FROM lt_company ORDER BY company_name
company_id = integer
company_name = 30 characters

I have a 6 char field which has to be converted to a datetime. I thought I had it solved when I did this
convert(datetime,(left(dob,2)+'-'+substring(dob,3,2)+'-'+right(dob,2)))
Problem is with a date value of 081649
I get 08/16/2049 instead of 1949, where did I goof
Hi,
I am getting a date string that is contained in a character field (char(20)).
An example of the data is as follows:
2005-09-20121315001
it is in the format YYYY-MM-DDHHMMSSMMM.
I want to insert this value into a datetime field. I have used convert, but can only insert it when I split out the time portion and separate them with a colon
i.e. to get it to insert into a datetime field the data has to be in the following format
2005-09-20 13:15:18.001
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM
Is there a style parameter in the convert function that will allow me to insert this value without having to separate the hours/minutes/seconds with a colon? I have tried BOL but it seems that all the examples have colons in them where there is a time portion to the date,
Thanks in advance
Here's a question for the SQL gurus out there:
I have a varchar(20) field DIAGNOSISCODE in a table that can either be null, or contain up to 3 comma-separated codes, each of which relates to a description in another table. For example, some sample rows might be
8060
8060,4450
8060,4123,3245
Now I need to structure a query to return these values from this single field as three fields CODE1, CODE2, CODE3, with NULL as appropriate for example
CODE1=8060, CODE2=4450, CODE3=NULL.
I have been using CASE along with CHARINDEX and PATINDEX but it it becoming extremely messy. Can anyone think of a "neater" way to return three fields from this one field?
Any help very greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Simon.

How to modify values in a SQL Database. In the table PRDDEmpmaster there is a field called email_address, and for those fields that have a value I need to change that value to add { } opening/closing "curly braces" to that field.
For example,
RPARSONS@YAHOO.COM becomes
{RPARSONS@YAHOO.COM} . Nulls/empty fields remain as is.

I am attempting to import a flat file and have come accross and issue that I do not know how to fix in SSIS. The issue is that some of the text fields use quoted identifiers. This is not an issue in itself. The problem is they also use quotes as escape character if quotes are on the field.
So I see instances of "" because inside the quoted field is a quote. How do i specify an escape character?
Hello,
I need to pull records from single table such that I get a subset defined like this:
(
acctcode = 'xh364'
and
product = 'T&E'
)
And return all of the rest of the records:
(
acctcode = '%'
and
product = '%'
)
Can I do this within a WHERE clause, or will this require CASE / ELSE? There will be other specific acctcode/product rules that will be added later. I could do this with a UNION, but I need to avoid that if possible.
Thank you for your help!

Because of a limitation on a piece of software I'm using I need to take a large varchar field and force a carriage return/linebreak in the returned sql. Allowing for a line size of approximately 50 characters, I thought the approach would be to first find the 'spaces' in the data, so as to not split the line on a real word. achieve.
