Hi all,I have a
problem here where I am trying to use SQL Parameters to update a column
in the database, but the problem is that I need to concatenate the same
column to some Text from an Application
This is the Code I Have, But it throws an exception

I get an Error stating that i cannot use the addition operator for a string. Help
Hi All,
I'm new to SQL Server.
I have the following table in a database of SQL Server 2005 Express.
ColA ColB
----- -----
A 12
A 10
B 50
B 13
What I want to achieve is the following result :
Col A Aggr
----- ------
A 2,12
B 13, 50
I tried the following query :
SELECT ColA, dbo.Concatenate(ColB) as Aggr
FROM
(SELECT TOP(100) PERCENT ColA, ColB
FROM TABLE_A
ORDER BY ColB) AS Derived_A
GROUP BY ColA
where Concatenate is the CLR User-defined aggreate function written in C#.
What I want to do is to first sort the rows on ColB and then to execute aggregate function over the sorted rows so as to get the above-mentioned results. However, what I got is the following
Col A Aggr
----- ------
A 2,12
B 50,13 -- not sorted
I learnt from the SQL Server documentation that even though the ORDER BY clause is presented in the subquery, the query result is not guaranteed to be sorted. Only ORDER BY clause used in the outer query should work. So, how should this problem be solved? One way of which I'm thinking is to do the sorting in the aggregate function, but I'm worrying if this is harmful to the performance. Could anyone help me to solve the problem?
Thanks!

The Folowing code is not working anymore. (500 error)
Set objRS = strSQL1.Execute
strSQL1 = "SELECT * FROM BannerRotor where BannerID=" & cstr(BannerID)
objRS.Open strSQL1, objConn , 2 , 3 , adCmdText
If not (objRS.BOF and objRS.EOF) Then
objRS.Fields("Exposures").Value =objRS.Fields("Exposures").Value + 1
objRS.update
End If
objRS.Close
The .execute Method works fine
strSQL1 = "UPDATE BannerRotor SET Exposures=Exposures+1 WHERE BannerID=" & cstr(BannerID)
objConn.Execute strSQL1

Pls advice?
I'm new to this forum.
This 'problem' has occured many times, but I've always found a way around it.
I have pages with datagrids, in which a user can edit a certain fields and then update the tables with new data. Lets say when a user edit a Name field and a money field. If he/she left those two fields blank, the table is automatically updated with a <null> (for the name field) and a 0 (for the money field.) Both these columns were set up to allow Null values.
Anyone has an idea why they were updated that way? And is there like a standard on how the data types are updated if a field is left blank?
Thank you very much.
hi.
i am working with PHP and MSSQL (i know its not a smart move, but I don't have a choice).
I got almost everything working correctly except the date format.
I can select the date and display it the way I want by doing this select convert(VARCHAR(10), date, 105) as new_date FROM table.
But when I have a field to update the date I am having trouble.
How do I update the MSSQL database with a new date if the date displayed is DD-MM-YY
Dim ldDatetime As DateTime = Now() '11/12/2005 13:05:09
my command text is:
"Insert Into WebSiteThread (TransactionDate) Values ( " & " ' " & ldDatetime & " ' " & ") "
The result I got was "12/11/3091 13:05:09" Not "11/12/2005 13:05:09"
What's wrong please!!
In order to update a MSSQL table, named [Table_1]. The procedure is:

Hello guys,
Here is the case. I have up and running database on MSSQL server. My client deliver me updates. Since now they were as INSERT statements, but they decided to change some stuff at their side. Now the updates will come as pairs of files (.dbf and .mdx) for each table...
How I can insert them in the running database?

Sorry for my bad englisht
We have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.
Here is my problem: I've created a table in MSSQL named MyReferences and then a typed dataset to connect to it.
Then I realized that I needed to add a column to MyReferences table and then I did it.

Can anyone help me?

I have a column in SQL showing Patient Sex (Female/Male)
How Can I update the Column so that I can see only the first character of the string Female and Male( F and M)?
Afternoon all.
I have a table which has a column with has been inserting incorrect data, here is an example. Column name is description and table name is tblClientUsage:
[companyname]: 288bsl | | 13/03/2007
[companyname]: 288asl | | 08/03/2007
[companyname]: RES04sl | | 19/02/2004
[companyname]: RES01sl | | 19/02/2004
[companyname]: AAsl | | 31/12/2005
[companyname]: 652Asl | | 05/02/2007
[companyname]: GAZ1sl | | 20/03/2007
[companyname]: AAsl | | 31/12/1999
[companyname]: 363asl | | 20/01/2007
[companyname]: 288b1sl | | 02/11/2006
[companyname]: 288bsl | | 02/11/2006
Now what has been happening is that is has not been putting the company name in the column, just the text companyname. Now i have a table which has the company name and company id, i can easily join the two tables together but how can i replace just the companyname text in the description column with leaving the text after.
Any help would be great
Hi experts,
I need to do an update on a field which will update 3 characters within a string. Right now I have '000111000333'. I want to replace '000' starting from the 7th character space with '222'. The first set of zeroes will remain unchange. I want the final outcome to be '000111222333'. How can I do this?
I have tried searching this forum and could not find anything. the closest thing I can find is http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=81890#360936.
Thanks for the help!
I have at table that I want to update using another table which contains other values than those in the text column.
table1
id: text:
1 1111, 2222, 3333
2 1234, 2222
3 0123
table2
id: str:
1111 aaaa
2222 bbbb
3333 cccc
1234 qqqq
0123 oooo
I want to replace the text in table1 with the new values so that it looks like below:
table1
id: text:
1 aaaa, bbbb, cccc
2 qqqq, bbbb
3 oooo
My first idea was to split the text column in table1 and insert every new text with its id in a temporary table and then concaternate a new string and update the column.
But how do I manage this?
Sorry, I realize that this is probably a pretty simple question for you, but I am in a quick time bind and would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this update that I'm trying to run.
Let's say you have a table (call it testtable) that contains the column "text".
Now in column text you want to replace all instantiations of the phrase "in the US" with "to the United States", how would you structure your update query to perform this change (Please note that this phrase could be embedded in the middle of a larger sentence like 'Send a package in the US'. You'd want to change this instance to 'Send a package to the United States')
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it guys.
I hava at large database and I need to search all tables for the string 'NaN' and replace it to null to enable conversion.
Is there any way to do this so that i do not need to write an update query for every column?
Would appretiate an example if anyone knows how to manage this.
Thanks!
Hi.
I have an update statement that accepts
a user's text input. problem is that the string
terminates the sql update statement if there is
an apostrophe in it. so, headline='i like my brother's car"
willl terminate after "brother". "s car" is read as sql.
how is this resolved?
Code:
Dim MyCmd2 As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF " & _
"UPDATE EditProfile " & _
"SET headline='"+ Me.tb_headline.Value+"', about_me='"+ Me.ta_aboutme.Value+"', edit_date='"+System.DateTime.Now.ToString+"' WHERE email_address='"+Context.User.Identity.Name.ToString+"' " & _
"SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON ", MyConn)
Trying to replace a string in a table and it is not working the path can be like OM-WD08-1 reportData.raw
USE Config
DECLARE @OldPath varchar(30), @NewPath varchar(30)
-- Initialize the variable
SET @OldPath ='OM-WD08-1';
SET @NewPath ='AA-PC';
UPDATE AnatomyConfigs
SET Path = REPLACE(Path,@OldPath,@NewPath) WHERE Path IS NOT NULL
AND Path LIKE @OldPath
GO
I have a trigger that writes changes to an audit table. In the case of Updates, I only want to write out the fields that have actually changed. My code for COLUMNS_UPDATED evaluates to true for all varchar fields, even when they haven't changed. All other scenarios appear to be working correctly.
WHILE @field < @maxfield
BEGIN
SELECT @field = min(ORDINAL_POSITION) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName AND ORDINAL_POSITION > @field
SELECT @bit = (@field - 1 )% 8 + 1
SELECT @bit = power(2,@bit - 1)
SELECT @char = ((@field - 1) / 8) + 1
IF ((@TriggerType = 'I') OR (@TriggerType = 'D') OR (@TriggerType = 'U' AND substring (COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0))
BEGIN..........
END
END
Ideas? Thanks!

Does enabling/disabling Data Execution Prevention have a performanceimpact on SQL 2000 or SQL 2005?For SQL best performance - how should I configure for:Processor Scheduling:Programs or Background servicesMemory Usage:Programs or System Cache
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY
(ACTIVITY_NAME ASC, PROCESS_NAME ASC, START_TIME ASC, ISMONITORED ASC)
INCLUDE
(INSTANCE_ID, ACTIVITY_TYPE, STATUS, END_TIME, ORGANIZATION);
Any help in creating such indexes in 2000 version is welcome.
Thanks,
Suresh.

I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via:
a. DETACH / ATTACH
b. BACKUP / RESTORE
c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result?
2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases?
3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.
I'm presented with a problem where I have a database table which must be migrated via a "custom tool", moving the data into a new table which has special character requirements that didn't exist in the source database. My data resides in an SQL Server 2008R2 instance.
I envision a one-time query which will loop through selected records and replace the offending characters with --, however I'm having trouble understanding how this works.
There are roughly 2500 records which meet the criteria of "contains bad characters", frequently containing multiple separate bad chars, and the table contains roughly 100000 rows.
Special Characters are defined as #%&*:<>?/{}|~ and ..
While the field is called "Filename" it isn't always so, it is a parent/child table where foldernames are also stored.
Example data:
Tablename = Items
ItemID Filename ListID
1 Badfile<2015>.docx 15
2 Goodfile.docx 15
3 MoreBad#.docx 15
4 Dog&Cat#17.pdf 15
5 John's "Special" Folder 16
The examples I'm finding are all oriented around SELECT statements, to change the output of what I see returned, however I'd rather just fix the entire column using an UPDATE. Initial testing using REPLACE fails because I don't always have a single character as the bad thing in a string.
In a better solution, I found an example using a User Defined Function to modify the output of a select, but I cannot use that UDF in an UPDATE.
My alternative is to learn enough C# to modify the "migration tool" to do this in-transit, but I know even less about C# than I do of SQL.
I gather I want to use @@ROWCOUNT to loop through the rows but I really can't put it all together in a cohesive way.
