I have an database that is housing a path used to locate an external file. This application was written many years ago and I am now trying to bring the files into the database as a VARBINARY.
The table is holding the path like this "/folder/folder/file"
I am trying to convert that path to "folderfolderfile"
In my Select statement I have
SELECT ProdID, REPLACE (PATH, /, ) FROM dbo.blahblah
The problem is that I can't figure out to make SQL understand that "/" is the character I want to replace.
I am getting a tab character at the end of my query fields, been trying various things to fix, such as using the replace function below but still i get the tabs!
select CAST(REPLACE(NAMEALIAS,CHAR(9),'')AS CHAR(40)) + ',' as PRODNAME, CAST(REPLACE(ISNULL(GLOBALTRADEITEMNUMBER,0),CHAR(9),'')AS CHAR(18))as EANNO,LTRIM(cast(ISNULL(GLOBALTRADEITEMNUMBER,0) as char(18))) as KONSEAN ,LTRIM(CAST(I.ITEMID AS CHAR(8))) AS PRODCODE,'00' from INVENTTABLE I LEFT JOIN INVENTITEMGROUPITEM IG ON I.ITEMID = IG.ITEMID
create table data_set (id int primary key, col1 varchar(10)) go insert into data_set values (1,'a'), (2,'b'),(3,'c'),(4,'d'),(5,'a'),(6,'b'),(7,'e'),(8,'f'),(9,'a'),(10,'a') select * from data_set
I tried this below
Declare @child_ids int @col_val varchar @count int
select @child_ids, @col_val, @count, count(col1) as records from data_set group by col1 order by col1
I have a string of characters in my data flow and I need to add a derived column showing the # of times a certain character appears within that string. For example, my string in the data flow is:
NNNNNRJKSURNNNEJNNNN
Now I need to count the number of "N"s in that column. From the example above, I should get the integer 12, and that would be the value of my derived column. Any ideas?
I have an issue with some data that has a leading ASCII char 160 (the "a" with the accent mark) but it shows in query results as a space.
... where customername like char(160) + '%'
returns 2 rows but shows the customer name with a leading space. How would I change the collation or do otherwise to get this character to display correctly in the results?
it's like this, i have a temporary table such as create table temp_table (str varchar(50)) and i have a data table create table data_table (str varchar(20))
now i import my data(in which there is some corrupted lines) into the temporary table, they should be all ansi-character strings and no more than 20 characters, but now some wrong datas in which there are wide-characters are mixed in. as the result of these wide-characters, the corrupted strings each takes over 20 bytes, but i can't filter them out, as when i enter in "len(str)", the sql server returns character counts, instead of byte counts, i thought this should only happen when i was using a unicode date type!(e.g. nvarchar). but now the server also behaves like this on those ansi date types. it seems all string manipulating functions refering string length behaves like this.
so when i am trying to run: insert into data_table select str from temp_table where len(str) <= 20 or insert into data_table select left(str,20) from temp_table
it will always end up with a string truncating error String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated
So now my problem is how to get the count of byte, but character, of a string containing wide-characters?
i'm using sql server 2005 standard version with sp2
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.

I am trying to write a stored procedure that loops through the list of user tables, gets the record count for each one and write a record to an audit table with DATE, TABLENAME, RECORDCOUNT.I keep getting an error "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".Here is the script...

My query returns a table of results, I would like to add a count columnthat contains the number of each result type returned.i.e.Type Count1 31 31 32 22 23 43 43 43 44 24 2Because there are 3 of type 1, 2 of type 2, 4 of type 3 etc...Is there straightforward way of doing this in SQL?Thanks
Situation: In this stored procedure, I have to calculate in some manner: Font, FontSize, BoldText, ShowBox and number of characters to see how many lines it will take on a Crystal Report. Wondering if you have seen some like this on Web or have an ideas? Measurements(length, width) and character count seem appropriate. How about a function?
Just a quick question, how do I divide the results of these two queriestogether ?(select count (*) as ontime from schedule where actualarrivaldate <=estimatearrivaldate)(select count (*) as total from schedule)Thanks for any helpRobert
I have a store procedure "Get_Student_By_District" ParameterDistrictID if null return all Return: Value(DistrictID, DistricName, SchoolID, SchoolName, TeacherID, TeacherName, StudentID, StudentName)
I will need to write another store procedure to calculate the additional 7 fields and include all the information it already has to have one dataset for my table in a Report.
1. Number of Students for a given Teacher 2. Number of Students for a given School 3. Number of Students for a given District 4. Number of Teachers for a given School 5. Number of Teachers for a given District 6. Number of Schools for a given District 7. Number of Districts
Two tables: CompanyPrices(CompanyID, ProductID, Price), CompanyRegion(CompanyID, Region) ProductID is the primary key.
I want to get 10 smallest prices in each Region. In other words, I am looking for 10 cheapest prices in each region. So, if there are 20 regions, I should get excatly 200 rows having prices for products from 200 companies if there were at least 10 companies in each region.
I tried the follwoing, but get incorrect results.
select S1.Region, S1.Price from (select CompanyPrices.*, Region from CompanyPrices inner join CompanyRegion on CompanyPrices.CompanyID=CompanyRegion.CompanyID) S1 inner join (select CompanyPrices.*, Region from CompanyPrices inner join CompanyRegion on CompanyPrices.CompanyID=CompanyRegion.CompanyID) S2 on S1.Region = S2.Region group by S1.Region, S1.Price having count(*)<=10 order by S1.Region, S1.Price
However, if I want to get 10 cheapest products for each company, the above sql works by modifying the join condition. Instead of S1.Region = S2.Region , I use S1.CompanyID = S2.CompanyID and I get correct results for 10 cheapest products for each company.
select S1.CompanyID, S1.Price from (select CompanyPrices.*, Region from CompanyPrices inner join CompanyRegion on CompanyPrices.CompanyID=CompanyRegion.CompanyID) S1 inner join (select CompanyPrices.*, Region from CompanyPrices inner join CompanyRegion on CompanyPrices.CompanyID=CompanyRegion.CompanyID) S2 on S1.CompanyID = S2.CompanyID group by S1.CompanyID, S1.Price having count(*)<=10 order by S1.CompanyID, S1.Price
I am not sure what is wrong in the first query and why it does not work when the second one works. Could someone help in making the first query work to give me correct results?
Hey all - VERY new to SQL so I apologize if I butcher normally trivial things :)
Looking to run a query that will retrieve the number of results returned from a select statement...
Currently have a LicenseID table with a Software column...the statement that works on it's own that i've got is:
SELECT * FROM Software WHERE LicensesID = 2
Currently when I run that with the data so far I get 4 results returned to me...how can I add to that statement so that instead of displaying the results themselves, I just get the number 4 returned as a total number of results?
I'm reading a lot of data from a database using SqlDataReader. Now I'd like to report the progress to the user, but for this I need to know in advance how many items SqlDataReader will return.
Is there any way to get this 'number of expected results' from the SqlDataReader?
I have 2 tables. Product, ProductCategory. Product table consists of (productid, productname, producttypeid, createdate, portid) productcategory consists of (productid, categoryid, productcategoryid, categoryid, prodroletypeid, createdate) I want to write sql query to get the unique products. So the count should only give one value/resuls. But when I run the following query, I am getting more than one rows select count(distinct categoryid) as uniquecat from productcategory as pc, product as p where pc.prodroletypeid in ('P', 'F') and pc.createdate <= dateadd(d, 30, getdate()) and p.portid = 100 group by pc.productid
hello, this is my sql query with access: Dim SQLstr2 As String = "Select count(*) as total, oDate from Order_Details where oNo = " + Request("oNo") + " group by oDate"
However, problem is, I am clueless about how to access the data that is derived from my count(*).
I tried this: Response.Write(reader2("total"))
All I get is that No data exists for the row/column.
I tried not to select oDate and even took away the WHERE, but the same problem persists. Any ideas please?
I have a table that seems to have a bad index. When I do the followingquery I get inconsistant and needless to say incorrect results.select count(*) from mytable where mycolumn = 1If I remove the index from "mycolumn" the query works correctly. If Iadd the index back (even with a new name etc...) it doesn't workright.Has anyone ran into this? or does anyone know how I can fix thisproblem?It seems that removing the index is not really removing everythingbecause when I add a new one I get this same problem... btw, this isisolated to this column on this table. all other indexes within thedatabase are fine.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,dharper
I have an aggregate transform that outputs two columns, a group by (DT_STR) and a count(column name) (DT_UI8). The results are put into a Recordset Destination. When I attempt to map these columns to variables in a Foreach Loop Container (using a Foreach ADO Enumerator), I get the error:
Error: 0xC001F009 at ExtractNNRPersonUpdates: The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::NNRPersonCount" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
Error: 0xC001C012 at Foreach Household Loop Container: ForEach Variable Mapping number 2 to variable "User::NNRPersonCount" cannot be applied.
The variable mentioned in the error message is setup as a UInt64. I've tried all other integer data types and nothing works. I also tried changing the data type of the count coming out of the Aggregate transform but received a warning stating this isn't possible.
I need to query the count of an occurrence in a given period of time, so I created this query. But it does not give me any results.
SELECT TOP 1000 o.[ID] ,o.[TimeOfOrder] ,x.[StreeLine1] FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x ON o.ID= x.id WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48 GROUP BY x.[StreeLine1], o.ID, o.TimeOfOrder HAVING COUNT(x.[StreeLine1])>1
Then I change the query slightly and I ask it to show me the ones that are going to '599 Ships Landing Way' and it gives me 356 results! The Query doesn't crash, but it doesn't give me the results I need. What did I do incorrectly?
SELECT TOP 1000 o.[ID] ,o.[TimeOfOrder] ,x.[StreeLine1] FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x ON o.ID= x.id WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48 AND x.[StreeLine1]='599 Ships Landing Way'
SELECT COUNT(id) as viewcount from location_views WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357 SELECT COUNT(id)*2 as clickcount FROM extlinks WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357
But I want to add the COUNT statements, so this is what I did:
select COUNT(vws.id)+COUNT(lnks.id)*2 AS totalcount FROM location_views vws,extlinks lnks WHERE (vws.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND vws.objectid=357) OR (lnks.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND lnks.objectid=357)
Turns out the query becomes immensely slow. There must be something I'm doing wrong here which results in such bad performance, but what is it?

I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name. CREATE TABLE Names (FirstName NVARCHAR (50), LastName NVARCHAR (50)); I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character. I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding. I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View. I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters. Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also? Thanks

hi, like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right? so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!
I have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).
I want to search Customer based off of the Search record, which could have multiple SearchCriteria records. However, if there aren't any SearchCriteria records with CountyId populated for a given Search, I want it to assume to get all Customer records, regardless of CountyId.
Right now, I'm doing it this way.
DECLARE @SearchId INT = 100 SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CountyId IN ( SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT CountyId FROM SearchCriteria WHERE SearchId = @SearchId) THEN SearchCriteria.CountyId

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist. My current SQL statement is as follows. SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))" So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, James.
