Getting 0 Padded Values In The Columns.
Jul 20, 2005
Getting 0 padded values in the columns.
Hi All,
I have a requirement to convert a integer to string and display it in
Sql server with fixed length say 3 chars. (in c, we wud use %03d in
printf)
If the number is small say, 9 then it has to be displayed as 009,
56 -> 056, 897-> 897, 6786 -> xxx
Checked through STR and CAST functions, couldn't find any relevant
paramters.
if you have any ideas, please mail me.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandra Mohan

I have a situation in SSRS to get the common values between the two columns where the values are sorted comma separated as below.Ex:
ColumnA : abc,cde,efg
ColumnB : cde,xyz,abc
the result in
ColumnC : cde,abc
similarly Column A and B will have n number records. I need to right an expression or the Code function to get the required result in ColumnC. I am using SharePoint Lists as Datasource. Cannot write SQL query to achieve this requirement.

I've got some records like this:
ID_________Jan Feb...........................Dec
0000030257 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0
where each month field has a 0 or 1, depending on if the person was enrolled that month.
I'm being asked to generate a table like this:
ID_________ Start_Date End_Date
0000030257 July 1, 2014 Nov 30, 2014
Is there some slam dunk way to do this without a bunch of If/Then statements?
The editor compressed all my space fields, so the column headers are off in some places.

Basically, I'm given a daily schedule on two separate rows for shift 1 and shift 2 for the same employee, I'm trying to align both shifts in one row as shown below in 'My desired results' section.
Sample Data:
;WITH SampleData ([ColumnA], [ColumnB], [ColumnC], [ColumnD]) AS
(
SELECT 5060,'04/30/2015','05:30', '08:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '04/30/2015','13:30', '15:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060,'05/02/2015','05:30', '08:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '05/02/2015','13:30', '15:30'
[Code] ....
The results from the above are as follows:
columnAcolumnB SampleTitle1 SampleTitle2 SampleTitle3 SampleTitle4
506004/30/201505:30 NULL NULL NULL
506004/30/201513:30 15:30 NULL NULL
506005/02/201505:30 NULL NULL NULL
506005/02/201513:30 15:30 NULL NULL
My desired results with desired headers are as follows:
PERSONSTARTDATE STARTIME1 ENDTIME1 STARTTIME2 ENDTIME2
506004/30/2015 05:30 08:30 13:30 15:30
506005/02/2015 05:30 08:30 13:30 15:30

hi,
it is my first post on this forum, please be patient if i miss any important bit of information.
i am transporting data from a legacy system into mssql 2k5 using SSIS.
among those column of a dataset there are 13 columns, all necessary for operational reasons, that i need to ensure data consistance.
i believe i could do this check using the lookup data flow item, but surely there must be a way to do it in a more streamlined fashion.
since column names contain numbers to distinguish the version, eg; col01, col02, col03 .. col13.
i thought i could include the lookup within a loop and use a couple of variables to do this trick, but since i have not done it before i am asking for some sort of guidance from a guru among you folks.
please let me know if further clarification is necessary.
regards,
nicolas

I have a Detailsview with Insert and Update options connected to a SQL 2005 table with templated textboxes for input. The textboxes have maxlength set to the number of characters in each respective field in the SQL 2005 table. When text is inserted it gets padded with spaces if all the field length is not used. When you try to edit the field the cursor does not move because of the padded spaces. The End key must be pressed to find the end of the string and the padded space removed before adding edited text. I am working in VB.net. If I check the field in SQL Studio Express is shows the text I typed plus blank space for the remainder of the field.
My question is how can I add text to the textboxes without the padded spaces being added when the maxlength of the field is not used?

I have a procedure that generates some XML from a bunch of tables.Then i use BCP to export it to a file. This works just fine.Here's the sample code:
CREATE TABLE dbo.t_test (i INT, z VARCHAR(30) COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT)
INSERT INTO t_test (i, z)
SELECT1, 'Test'
GO
[code]....
But recently, i wanted to add a test that calls this procedure. So, Test procedure uses INSERT / EXECUTE thingy to put XML data into a temp table to compare things. But then you get following error: "The FOR XML clause is not allowed in a INSERT statement."
DECLARE@T TABLE (x XML)
INSERT INTO @t (x)
EXECSPRC_EXPORT -- crashes here
So, i thought, fine, i'll wrap the FOR XML inside a sub-SQL:
CREATE PROCEDURE SPRC_EXPORT
AS
SELECT(
SELECT*
FROMt_test
FOR XML PATH('root')
)
And BCP call still works, BUT, now the file generated becomes 64kb instead of 1kb :) When i look into the file, it displays same XML, but the string is right-padded with a LOT of spaces.how BCP uses SET FMTONLY, OR that the "type" of result somehow gets changed when i do the wrapping.

From SSIS I need to export data to a CSV with spaces padding the end of each field before the delimited value. For example if I have three fields that are Nvarchar(10) I need it to be this:
Testing ,Test123 ,Again {end of line}
instead of this:
Testing,Test123,Again{end of line}
It's like it can do fixed width or delimited but not both. Is this possible without having to force the spaces into the data coming back from SQL? I already have the SSIS package written to export the data to CSV which works great, just need to find some way to add the spaces to the end of each column to satisfy requirements on the system being exported to. Also the commas need to be there too.

Hi I want to find 3 different columns maximum values in one shot. Like I tried to use a reader to go through results but it kept coming back with index out of bounds. Right now to get it to work I got to use a ExecuteScalar() get the first columns max value and then open the connection again(since it seems after ExecuteScalar() it closes the connection) and then do the ExecuteScalar() again. Open the connection again and do the ExecuteScalar() again. Theres got to be a better way of doing this.

Hi,
The values I need to store in the table are
Student ID
Student Name
Subjects
The "Student ID" is the primary key.
A student can take more than 1 subject.
For example:
Student ID: 100
Student Name: Kelly Preston
Subjects: Geography, History, Math
How can I store these values in a database table?
I know the normal "INSERT" statement, but how would I store the multiple subjects for a single student ID?
My "Student ID" is auto generated. If I create a new row for each subject, the Student ID will be different for each subject, which I dont want.
Or I can create a new field called "RowNumber" and keep that the primary key..
For example:
Row Number StudentID StudentName Subject
1 100 Kelly Geography
2 100 Kelly History
3 100 Kelly Math
If this is the only way to store the multiple sibjects, then for a given student ID (say 100), how can I retreieve the associated name and subjects? What is the query for that?

I have a table with 6 columns. which we can call a, b, c, d, e, f. What I want to achieve is to put data in column d and e and then split this result in column f.
The data I want to put in column d and e is already exported and executed from a table called exp_data, which is from a period of november.
So this is what i have so far but is not working:
update split_table set d =
select amount from exp_data
where period = '1111'
and exp_data.account = split_table.b
and exp_data.company = split_table.a
The error I get is incorrect syntax near select. Fixed the issue by adding a parenthesis before the select until the end...

How to find out that there is a null value in a column rather than a valid integer, DateTime or bool value, for strings I use 'as' operator to cast the column value and it returns null when column value is null, but for value types using 'as' operator causes compile error and using simple casting causes runtime error, for example:
int count = (int)row["Count"];
and
int count = row["Count"] as int;
the first one throws an exception when Count is null and the second doesn't compile at all since 'as' applies to reference types, so what is the way other than exception handling to determine null value in a column?

Does somebody know how do you get a column in Reporting Services to display the values from two different columns? I don't mean a concat, but the result of the two columns.
This has been a headache for 2 days now.

HI,
I AM HAVING A TABLE WHICH HAS INCREMENTAL COLUMNS,WHERE COLUMNS GETS ADDED EVERY MONTH TO THE TABLE AND THE TABLE THEN CONTAINS PREVIOUS MONTH AND PRESENT MONTH DATA ABOUT CUSTOMERS ,DETAILS AND TRANSACTIONS.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS DATA IS ,IF THE CUSTOMER IS NEW ,THEN IN PREVIOUS MONTHS HIS INFORMATION IS NULL,WHICH HAVE TO BE CODED HAS "NOT PRESENT".
NOW,
HOW DO WE CONVERT ALL THE PREVIOUS COLUMNS FOR A PARTICULAR CUSTOMER HAS NULL AT THE SAME TIME ?.
HERE IS HOW THE PROC WRITTENED FOR IT GOES :-
DROP PROCEDURE DE_NAT
CREATE PROCEDURE DE_NAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @MONMIN1 NVARCHAR(100),MON NVARCHAR(100),@YEAR NVARCHAR(100) , @MONYEAR NVARCHAR(100)
SET @MONMIN1 = DATENAME((MONTH),DATEADD(MONTH,-1,GETDATE()))
SET @MON = MONTH(GETDATE())
SET @YEAR = YEAR(GETDATE())
SET @MONYEAR = @MON + @YEAR
EXEC('select A.CUSTOMERS,B.*,CAST(A.RFM_40D AS FLOAT) AS R40
INTO TSD_' + @MONYEAR
+ ' from TSD_20 A
LEFT OUTER JOIN SD20 ' + @MONMIN1 + ' B
ON A.CUSTOMERS = B.CUSTOMER')
END
THIS PROC JUST ADDS THE PRESENT MONTHS DATA TILL LAST MONTHS DATA.
BUT IF A CUSTOMER IS NEW, THEN HOW DO I REPLACE THE NULL VALUES FOR THE PREVIOUS DATA TO 'NOT PRESENT'
FOR EG :- IF THERE IS A NEW CUSTOMER ,HOW DO WE CHANGE :-
CUSTOMERS ERTYYTRE RTYUUYTR TYUIIUYT QWERREWQ DFGHHGFD
----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------- ----------
101023 <NULL> <NULL> <NULL> <NULL> 1.0
102022 1.0 1.62.3 3.4 4.5
NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT FOR CUSTOMERS = '101023'.
THE COLUMN DFGHHGFD IS, THIS MONTHS DATA , I WANT TO CHANGE ALL NULL VALUES PRESIDING IT AS "INACTIVE"
CAN I CHANGE , ALL COLUMNS FROM NULL TO "INACTIVE" , AT THE SAME TIME. ?
AS NEXT MONTH, AGAIN THE COLUMNS IS GONNA INCREASE WHICH WILL
AGAIN CAUSE A PROBLEM .
PLS TELL ME A METHOD , SO THAT I CAN DO THE NEEDFUL.

I am trying to divide these two columns...

parsename('$'+ Convert(varchar,Convert(money,R.[New Product Cost]-R.[Shared Cost]),1),2) as [Post Cost]
Formula:
[Post Cost] / [Pre Cost]
Expected:
If [Post Cost] is null then I would need to assign 1 and divide by [Pre Cost] and similarly if [Pre Cost] is null then I would need to assign 1 so that I can divide [Post Cost] / [Pre Cost]

I am trying to filter my columns on multiple values. I need them all to be OR because I want it to look through all of the columns and wherever the value matches to not include in the view. My WHERE clause that I thought would work looked like this..
WHERE (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.SYMBOL LIKE '%spot%')) AND (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.ISSPREAD = 'True')) AND
(NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.GMIPRODUCTCODE = 'Internal')) AND (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.TAG_COMMENT IN ('[]', '[Gscalp]', '[TT]', '[GX2]', '[NA]', '[STELLAR]')) OR
(RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.TAG_COMMENT IS NULL)
However this does not work and provide the data needed. I then thought that if I replaced all the AND's with OR's that would work, but here it does not filter anything.. not sure where to go from here.

Hi All.
I'm having some issues with what seems to be a simple update statement but is giving me grief when one or both of the columns I'm comparing are null. My statement (simplified) is as follows:-
UPDATE
TAB_A
SET
TAB_A.TRADCODE = TAB_B.TRADCODE
FROM
TADS_STAGE.DBO.UNCLBRAMDEPT TAB_B
JOIN
TADS.DBO.UNCLBRAMDEPT TAB_A
ON
TAB_B.BRANCODE = TAB_A.BRANCODE
AND
TAB_B.MERDCODE = TAB_A.MERDCODE
AND
(
TAB_B.TRADCODE <> TAB_A.TRADCODE
)
If either of the TRADCODE fields (or both) are null then the comparison fails to return the row to update. I've tried setting the ANSI_NULLS setting to off, this has no effect, presumably because it will only work when comparing a column to a variable or evaluating if the column is null itself.
I've considered using ISNULL, but if one of the columns happens to contain the value that I specify as the replacement value then the comparison will result true and not include the row.
I'd be grateful for any pointers!
Thanks in advance

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to dynamically delete all of the values for a group of columns. What I mean by this is that lets say a table (TableA) has five fields (Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, and Field5) with 100 rows of data. I want to delete all of the data in Field1, Field2, and Field4. I do not want to delete any of the data in Field3 and Field5. I would then end up with a table with 5 fields and 100 row, but only 2 fields (Field3 and Field5) have data.
The catch is that I can't hardcode the field names of the fields I want to clear out (Field1, Field2, and Field4) into the SQL. This is because if any new fields are eventually added to the table I want them to be cleared out as well without modifying the SQL.
I can hardcode the field names of the fields that I want to keep values for (Field3 and Field5) in the SQL.
If anyone has any idea how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

I have a table where different types of values are stored in one field, but I need to seperate them into different fields based on a value in another field.
For (hypothetical) example:
There is an existing table with following info in three columns:
userid record recordtag
1 joe 1
1 j 2
1 jr 3
2 bob 1
2 a 2
2 sr 3
where recordtag indicates (1 for first name, 2 for middle initial, 3 for suffix)
I need to query these records for a report so it the output is:
userID firstname middleinitial suffix
1 joe j jr
2 bob a sr
What's the most efficient approach to create a query that will give me desired results? I have managed to create a very complex query that derives tables for each column I want to create and queries off of that derived table for the 'record' value based on the 'recordtag' values for a given 'userid'. The query is extremely slow, so I know there's some better way out there to get the results I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a column containing values for different languages. I want to cut out the values per languate in a seperat column.
The syntax is a 2 letter country code followed by : the value is contained in double quotes. each languate is separated by a ; (except for the last one)
EX ur English, Dutch and Swedish:US:"Project/Prescription sale";NL:"Project/specificatie";SW:"Objektsförsäljning"
The result would Be
column header US
with value Project/Prescription sale
next column header NL
with value Project/specificatie etc.
Here are table examples:
IF OBJECT_ID('[#SALETYPE]','U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [#SALETYPE]
CREATE TABLE [#SALETYPE](
[SaleType_Id] [int] NOT NULL,
[name] [nvarchar](239) NOT NULL,
