Can you parse a SQL field? Let's say, FULLNAME field got a TEXT datatype with the following data: <firstname>Norm</firstname><lastname>bercasio</lastname><Color>blue</color>then using a select statement, parse the field to find the lastname then write it to another field called LASTNAME on the same table, same rowID. Can you send a select statement how it can be done? I am using SQL 2003 or 2005. thank you so much.

Anybody out there ever take a column containing names and parse it out to salutation, first name, middle initial/name, last name, suffix using Transact-SQL? I think I know how to do it using an array in a procedural language, but using SQL I'm drawing a blank.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated!

I am trying to parse a single field into many. A sample of the data in one of my fields is:
0;127.20;3;23.90;13.56;0;0;0;0
I would like to parse it into 9 fields. I am sure that this is easy, but, since I am new to SQL2005, I am having a few probs with this simple task.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to parse an ntext field that in my SQL View contains an invoice comment in order to be able to group on parts of the comment. I have two problems--one, the syntax to do this, and two, the best way to deal with the parts that I want.
The comment is like: "standard text ABCDE : $99.99" but can have multiple "ABCDE"s, e.g. "standard text ABCDE FGH IJKL $999.99" and I found some that had duplicates like "standard text standard text...".
I want to be able to report in SSRS 2005 by grouping the "ABCDE", "FGH", "IJKL" items.
Any ideas? Please be specific as I'm still learning.

Hi,
My table has 2 fields as 'count' and 'codes'. The 'codes' field has 'count' # of code values in each record. Size of each code is 4. For example, if my record is 2,'abcdefgh' then there are 2 codes and the values are 'abcd' and 'efgh'.
Currently I am using 'script component' to parse the field into multiple values. Since I have to read 1 million records and on an average, each record has 10 codes, it is taking hrs to load it.
Can it be done without 'script component' using some other transformations?
Thanks.

I have just started to look at SQL and have a theory question that I could apply to a test I want to run. I have some legacy data from a previous project and the database was not designed properly (in my opinion). They have ONE field to capture City and State information. All the data is formatted City, State .
Does SQL have commands that can look at data in a field, strip out info before and info after a comma and then write that to other fields?
So, I would like to normalize this to take the data in a field called CityState and parse it, trim it and then populate two new fields 1) City and 2) State.
Thanks for your help!

I am trying to process an XML document that contains the attribute 'from_x'. However an openxml query can't seem to find any column with a '_x' suffix. For example if I were to execute the following fragment:
declare @hDoc int, @Message varchar(200)
select @Message = '<BACK_FM from_x="12"></BACK_FM>'
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, @Message
select from_x from openxml(@hDoc, 'BACK_FM',1) with (from_x int)
I get back a null value from the openxml query. Attribute names 'fromx' and 'from_y' work ok but nothing I have tried with a trailing '_x' will work.
Does anyone know if this is a known SQL Server bug? Is it a bug at all or something about XML that I don't know about?
Thanks,
Wayne King

I need to figure out how to parse a comma separated value.
Lets say I have a variable equal to a comma separated list.
SET @Variable = '045, 032, 025, 653'
I need to create a dynamic sql string to look like:
SET @Variable = ''' + '045' + ''' + ',' + ''' + '032' + ''' + ',' etc...
Can someone teach me a optimized query to do this?
Thanks

Hi All,
I'm using a SQL selection to fill a DataGrid. One of the fields I have is called diagnosis. This field in the database can contain multiple diagnosis. But I use a set of characters to divide each diagnosis.
Example : Sick!@#$%Hurt!@#$%Ill!@#$%
My problem is this is how it looks in my Data Grid. Can someone tell me how to parse out each diagnosis.
Thanks

Hello everyone
Heres what it looks like:
I have a large file of over 40k email records. The emails are all mixed up and come in various formats but i noticed that most of them are in this format:
firstname.lastname@email.com
firstname.middlename.lastname@email.com
For all those emails with the period (.) in between, the (.) actually separates an individuals first and last name.
My task is this, to separate all the emails that are in this format into first and last name fields. I'm stimped folks and I'll really appreciate any pointers or ideas on how to go about solving this task.
Thanks

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi,
I have a name field that has fullname in it and i need to parse it to firstname, lastname, middle initial and suffix.
I used the below query to parse the Last Name and first name.
SELECT
SUBSTRING([FullName], 1, CHARINDEX(' ',[FullName]) - 1)AS LastName,
SUBSTRING([FullName], CHARINDEX(' ',[FullName]) + 1, LEN(FullName)) AS FirstName
FROM CustomerTbl
There are middel initials and suffix present in the full name. How do i parse the middle initial and suffix.
The Sample Name that appear in the table:
JONAS VICKY ==> Format without Middle Initial or suffix
MAYES MARY T ==> Format with middle initial
MCGEE, III CLIFTON ==> Format with suffix
Pls advise
Thanks

Table1 includes a column for email address. I'd like to parse everything up to 8 chars before the '@' symbol in this column. My script doesn't appear to be working, and I'd appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting it!
select substring(UPPER(substring(email,1,charindex('@',email)-1)),1,8)
from table1
The error produced is;
Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.
What am I doing wrong? The logic in the script looks good to me...

Hi,I have three tables in the following structure (simplified):Table 1: Containing the customers-------------------------------------------------create table Customers([cusID] int identity(1, 1) not null,[cusName] varchar(25) not null)Table 2: Containing the customer data fields---------------------------------------------------------------create table Data([datID] int identity(1, 1) not null,[datName] varchar(25) not null,[datFormula] varchar(1500))Table 3: Containing the customer data values-----------------------------------------------------------------create table Values([cusID] int not null,[datID] int not null,[valValue] sql_variant)In this structure the user can add as many data fields to a customer ashe wants (e.g. Country, City, Email, Phone, ...). I have added triggerswhich create a view similar to a pivot (I am working in SQL 2000) andadd triggers to the view so it is insertable, deletable and updateable.What I would like to do, is allow the user to create new fields wherethe values are based upon a calculation. This calculation would be donethrough a formula similar to what he would do e.g. in excel (thisformula is stored in the dimFormula field then).An example might help. Let's assume the user created a field 'Sales'(containing last year's sales) and 'Invoices' (containing the number ofinvoices that were created for him last year). Now, he wants to createa field 'AvgSales' with the formula '[Sales]/[Invoices]'.(Note that through adding these data fields, the above view was created(let's assume it is called vw_Customers and contains the columns [ID],[Name], [Sales], [Invoices], [AvgSales]).What I am looking for is a function which can parse this formula into at_sql query which runs the calculation. So, the formula'[Sales]/[Invoices]' would be translated into (let's assume there areno records with NULL or zero invoices):update vw_Customersset [AvgSales] = [Sales]/[Invoices]from vw_CustomersI am able to do the above with simple calculations (where you can evenuse sql functions e.g. year, len, ...). Now I would like to take thisone step forward into the possibility of using functions with morevariables.For example. Let's assume, the user wants to add a rating (field called'Rating') to his customers based upon the result of 'AvgSales. Heenters the formula 'if([AvgSales] > 2500, 'A', 'B')'.If anyone could help me on this, I would be very grateful. Thanks.M

Hi:
I need to parse an regularly outputted rtf file and was wondering if it is possible in SSIS. I am trying to use the flat file connection manager to do this.
Now, I can't treat tab stops in an rtf like tab stops in a csv, since when you treat an rtf as a text file, you see the format code of the rtf. If I open the rtf in a text editor, the entire file is one line, with lines breaking with:
par}
Columns are tab delimited in the rtf, and they look like this when you treat the rtf as a text file.
plain abfs16f4cf0cb1
(or something like that, the word "tab" is the important part.)
So I use the "plain ab" part to delimit in SSIS, since that is consistent (planning to parse out all the garbage later on). The problem is, sometimes lines don't have a "city" and "state", so it "tabs" right over to the next field. So like this (looking in MS Word):
Phone <tab> City <tab> State <tab> Date <tab> Other fields.....
847-111-2222 <tab> Omaha <tab> NB <tab> 9/14/2007 <tab>
222-222-3333 <tab> 9/14/2007 <tab>
555-121-1212 <tab> Houston <tab> TX <tab> 9/14/2007 <tab>
Now, if you treat an RTF as a text file, it has only one "plain abfs16f4cf0cb1" after the phone number, so even for the missing line there is only one tab, not 3. This is because in the beginning of the row tabs for each row are defined like this:
tql x90 ql x840 ql....etc...
with "tql" and "tx" tags basically saying where all the tab stops are for that row. So for the row above with missing info, it lists fewer tab stops. So the "date" (and associated garbage) ends up under "City" for this row. All of the "Houston" row's data starts appearing in the sql server output table's 2nd last field, as you might expect.
Any suggestions how to pull this in in SSIS during the transformation? I could deal with it after I pull it in, I still have all the data. I'm thinking the logic to do this could be complicated though. I take the data out of the last two fields of the missing row into some other table, use UPDATES to shift the values 2 fields to the right, and then figure out a way to take the data I just put in a temp table back in, but it all sounds a bit complicated.
Let me know if this makes sense--I've almost got it going, I just need to sort this last bit out.
Thanks,
Kayda
