Optional Characters In Search String
Jun 21, 2006I'm trying to search for commonly abbreviated company titles (ie limited, partnership, and so on). I would like to make my sql statement as short as possible (it's already quite lengthy as is). But I'm having trouble netting the abbreviated forms such as LTD and LMTD for limited (I have no control over the data I get, it comes from different counties with no standardization). I've tried using braketted strings like "L[I,IMI,M,]T[ED,D,]" and all other combinations I can think of, including using single quotes in the each string, and removing the empty placeholder and still can grab all instances.
Someone else's insight would be appreciated.

Stripping Non-Numeric Characters From A String Function
Jul 9, 2002Hi,
As part of a data search project I need to be able to strip all non numeric characters from a text field. The field contains various forms of phone number in various formats. In order to search on it I am going to remove all non numeric characters from the input criteria and from the data being searched.
In order to do this I decided on using a SQL Server custom function: Pass in field. Loop through all chars, test against asci values for number range. return only numernic data concatenated into a string.
Are there any other more efficient ways of going about this?
Handling Wildcard Characters In Query String
Nov 11, 2005Hi
First interaction to the forum.
My Query is :
I had a User Management module in my application where I created a user with name
`~!@#$@%^&*()[_]+|}{":?><-=[[]];',./
Now I have a functionality to search for the user existing. For that give the search string or a single character and it finds out all the records containing the character.
How do I go about it as the SP i created for it gives correct results except the following
1. Search for % - Gives all record
2. Search for _ - Gives all records
3. Search for [ - Gives NO record
4. Search for the whole string - Gives NO Record
I handeled a few issues
1. replaced [ by [[]
2. replaced _ by [_]
So issues 2 & 3 are resolved.
Tried replacing % by [%] but did not work
Could someone plz help
Thanks in advance

SQL Server 2012 :: Extracting String Between Certain Characters
Aug 18, 2014I need extracting string that is between certain characters that are in certain position.
Here is the DDL:
DROP TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest](
[StoreNumber] [varchar](50) NULL,
[StoreNumberParsed] [varchar](50) NULL)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
[Code] ....
What I need to accomplish is to extract the string that is between the third and fifth '-' (dash) and insert it into the StoreNumberParsed while eliminating the fourth dash.
Sample output would be:
KY117
CA132
OH174
MD163
FL191
I know that parse, charindex, patindex all might come in play, but not sure how to construct the statement.
Escaping International (unicode) Characters In String
May 29, 2007Y'all:I am needing some way, in the SQL Server dialect of SQL, to escape unicodecode points that are embedded within an nvarchar string in a SQL script,e.g. in Java I can do:String str = "This is au1245 test.";in Oracle's SQL dialect, it appears that I can accomplish the same thing:INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (TEST_COLUMN) VALUES ('This is a1245 test.");I've googled and researched through the MSDN, and haven't discovered asimilar construct in SQL Server. I am already aware of the UNISTR()function, and the NCHAR() function, but those aren't going to work well ifthere are more than a few international characters embedded within astring.Does anyone have a better suggestion?Thanks muchly!GRB-----------------------------------------------------------------------Greg R.

Return Only Numeric Characters From A String Column
Dec 4, 2007I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
But I have discovered that the following
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('£')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
Thanks for looking at this.
Search String Field (nvarchar) For Unicode Characters
Nov 8, 2006MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail:
SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records
However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

SQL 2012 :: Removing Consecutive Characters From Middle Of A String
Apr 14, 2015I usually do this through Access so I'm not too familiar with the string functions in SQL. My question is, how do you remove characters from the middle of a string?
Ex:
String value is 10 characters long.
The string value is X000001250.
The end result should look like, X1250.
I've tried mixing/matching multiple string functions with no success. The only solution I have come up with removes ALL of the zeros, including the tailing zero. The goal is to only remove the consecutive zeroes in the middle of the string.

"select access_id, access_right from user_Access_tab where user_id ='HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 ì˜¤ì „ 11:50:323401'"
It doesn't show any hits even thogh i know there is a number of matching records.
The question doesn't generate an answer in SQL server manager studio eigher.
If i change the datatype on user_id to Varchar(50) the id is presented (in the database) as:
HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 ?? 11:50:323401
Then the question works, but why doesn't it work with nVarChar(50)?

Conditional Formatting Expression - Evaluate First 3 Characters Of String As Numbers
Mar 2, 2012I'm trying to put conditional formatting on a field, that behaves as follows:
The data in the field is varchar, and sample data is either:
NULL
3.0 :0
11.7 :1 (these are ratios of a sort)
I want to evaluate the first 3 characters of the string as numbers.
Example:
Mid(fieldvalue,1,3) = "3.0" or "11."
Any data that is greater than 1.99, I want to make the background dark red, anything else including nulls, zebra formatting. I have the following expression built so far and it appears to work, except when the value is null. If the value is null, it leaves the background color white.
This is the warning: [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the text box "Asthma" contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format.
=iif(
isnothing(Fields!Asthma.Value)
,(IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))
,(iif(mid(Fields!Asthma.Value,1,3)>1.99
,"DarkRed"
,IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0,"#b8cce4","#dbe5f1"))))
My logic is, if the field is null, zebra format, if mid of the value is > 1.99, dark red, everything else zebra formatting. As I said, this seems to work except for nulls.
