Getting Only First Letter Of The Column

Jun 29, 2007



Hi,

I am using an OLEDB source to run a stored procedure, which returns records from a temp table. The destination table is exactly same as the temp table in the stored procedure. I've some collation settings on both the destination table and temp table, but both are exactly same.

I got Unicode to Non-unicode conversion error first. I dont know why it happened as there is no difference in source and destination table. I solved that issue using the data conversion component. Then I got the truncation error. I set the Ignore on Truncation on error output to get rid of that issue. Then the package executed without any problem. But all the nvarchar and varchar fields in the destination table got populated with only the first letter of data.

Any Idea?

Replacing First Letter Only In Column

May 17, 2006

Hello. We have a list of 1000+ sku numbers. 90% of them start with u. I need to replace the u with T.

Concerns:
It has to only replace the first letter, if there are other "u"s in the sku, they need to remain.
Not all skus start with u, those that don't should remain the same.

I have searched and searched because I'm sure someone has requested the exact same thing but I can't find anything that is identical.

I have this so far but I know its not correct:
set sku = replace(left(sku,1),'u',right(rtrim(sku),1)+
'T')

Can someone help lead me down the right path?

Thanks in advance!!!

Update Column Based On 1st Letter

Feb 25, 2014

I have a large website with over 100,000 images and the location of the images are stored in a column (img_url) as below:

/images/imagename.jpg

Because all these images are stored in the same folder it is hard to manage so we want to store each image under a directory based on the 1st letter of the image name, ie:

/images/a/aimage.jpg
/images/b/bimage.jpg

I can automate the physical move of the images into the correct directory but I need SQL update query that will update each column based on the 1st letter of the image.

So:

/images/aimage.jpg
/images/bimage.jpg

Updated to:

/images/a/aimage.jpg
/images/b/bimage.jpg

Checking Contents Of Column And Replacing Contents If First Character Is A Letter

Jun 25, 2007

Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing.  SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime)  '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!

Get The First Letter

Mar 24, 2008

I have a table of definitions:

---------------------------
Glossary
---------------------------
Term | Definition
---------------------------


What I need to do is find all the letters that are at the beginning of the terms.

So if I have "apple" as a term, A is returned.
Also, if I have "forest", "fruit", and "flower", F is returned, but only once.
And if I have no terms that start with Q, Q is not returned.
Lastly, if I have a term like " 'Walking' Pneumonia", it should recognize that the term starts with a W.

Drop Down List - Use More Than 1st Letter

Apr 26, 2005

In my drop down menus - which are populated by tables - we can only use the scroll bar OR type in the first letter to find the item - Is there a way to type in several letters to find something? (e.g. if I want to find clockwork - right now I could type in "C" to get to the C's - but if I tried typing "clo" it would end up at the beginning of the "O's" - Thanks

An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference.

I'm looking to get the drive letter and path for my backups programmatically. I am monitoring my sqlserver boxes remotely and need to get this information to determine if my backups will fit on the backup drive.

Mapping A Number To A Letter Grade...

Mar 24, 2008

I'm trying to think a way to map an average rating (1-10) to a letter grade (A-F).

For example, if I querry the name of a professor and the corresponding rating for the professor, then I would also like to generate a column displaying the corresponding letter grade for the professor based on the rating.

Professor | Rating | Grade |

Smith 8.5 B

I use an aggregate function to diplsay the rating.
I'm thinking I may need to write my own aggregate function to display the letter grade. 'Professor' is an actual field of the database.

Preventing A Page Break For A Letter

May 20, 2008

I have a letter I am creating in SSRS and would like the data to flow smoothly from one page to the next even if the whole section doesn't fit on a page instead of it forcing a page break which results in a large blank space on the page before. I have put the data into multiple text boxes (can grow is set for the text boxes) because of formatting requirements (I also tried the table object).

--Start Example--

TEXT HEADER 1
very long report letter information here (call it detail 1)

TEXT HEADER 2
even more very long report letter information here (call it detail 2)

TEXT HEADER 3
The term ""Accountant€™s Letter"" as used herein shall mean the certain math verification report, to be provided by an independent certified public accountant, certifying that the Securities shall generate the debt service payments due under the Loans. (call it detail 3)

--End Example--

So assume that everything but detail 3 fits neatly on the first page. Now part of detail #3 should fit on page one but it pushes the whole section to page 2 because it doesn't all fit. All I want is for say line to to be the last line on page #1 and lines 2 and 3 to be in page 2 instead of lines 1 through 3 on page 2. In reality, this letter is about 6 pages and each section is about a half page to 2 pages. This perceived minor issue has cost me a good day+ set back. Thanks,

How To Store Resume And Cover Letter Into SQL Server?

Jun 6, 2005

Hi,
    I am trying to create an asp.net web recruiting application for HR, which will give the users the ability to both copy/paste the Resume and cover letter in textbox and upload resume and cover letter, then submit it (which will be saved into SQL Server 2000 table). 
I am thinking to save Resume and cover_letter as Image data type columns in SQL Server. 
.  Can someone give me a direction about how to save the uploaded resume and cover letter to table and if it's the easiest way to do it?
.  What to deal with different formats of uploaded resumes?  I hope to limit to only Word or HTML
.  Since I also give user another option - copy/paste the resume and coverletter into a textboxes.  Can I simply save the copy/paste resume and cover letter into text field column?  Later, say, if any HR recruiter retrieve the text from database, will it concatonates everything together without line break?
Any ideas is appreciated.

When Submitting Form, SQL Server Fields Only Show The First Letter

Nov 30, 2005

Hi, I'm new around here and am stumped.  I have created a form where I submit the information into a SQL Server 2000 table.  When I submit the information through the form, only the first character of each field populates inside of the SQL table.  This happens for every field except for two, zip and comments.  The zip field is numeric and the comments field is text.  All the other fields are varchar fields; and these are the fields with the problems.  I have attempted to change the data type to text, but that did not work either.  I am doing this through a stored procedure I created.  Here is the asp code:

Can I Create Letter Type Reports Within The Report Builder

Mar 5, 2007

Hi,



I need to create letter type reports using the report builder, is this possible?. I am trying to create a letter that embeds some variable fields, i.e,. name, address, contact number. I can't seem to find a way to create page headers, and embed report data fields within text. Is this not possible within the report builder? it seems that the only thing you can do within the report builder is add fields to their predesignated areas. I am being forced to use the report builder instead of the report designer in order to give the end user the ability to make modifications to the report/letter. This is very frustrating. not being able to allow the user to edit report designer files, and then having force them to use report builder which doesn't seem to support some simple features..

Any suggestions would be appreciated...
