Jul 20, 2005I know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?

Convert With Character Field And Datetime
Jan 29, 2007Hi,
I am getting a date string that is contained in a character field (char(20)).
An example of the data is as follows:
2005-09-20121315001
it is in the format YYYY-MM-DDHHMMSSMMM.
I want to insert this value into a datetime field. I have used convert, but can only insert it when I split out the time portion and separate them with a colon
i.e. to get it to insert into a datetime field the data has to be in the following format
2005-09-20 13:15:18.001
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM
Is there a style parameter in the convert function that will allow me to insert this value without having to separate the hours/minutes/seconds with a colon? I have tried BOL but it seems that all the examples have colons in them where there is a time portion to the date,
Thanks in advance
Can I Split A Field Based On A Character?
Nov 9, 2005Here's a question for the SQL gurus out there:
I have a varchar(20) field DIAGNOSISCODE in a table that can either be null, or contain up to 3 comma-separated codes, each of which relates to a description in another table. For example, some sample rows might be
8060
8060,4450
8060,4123,3245
Now I need to structure a query to return these values from this single field as three fields CODE1, CODE2, CODE3, with NULL as appropriate for example
CODE1=8060, CODE2=4450, CODE3=NULL.
I have been using CASE along with CHARINDEX and PATINDEX but it it becoming extremely messy. Can anyone think of a "neater" way to return three fields from this one field?
Any help very greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Simon.

Quoted Field And Escape Character Issue
Nov 8, 2006I am attempting to import a flat file and have come accross and issue that I do not know how to fix in SSIS. The issue is that some of the text fields use quoted identifiers. This is not an issue in itself. The problem is they also use quotes as escape character if quotes are on the field.
So I see instances of "" because inside the quoted field is a quote. How do i specify an escape character?

Ans:- update SomeTable
set SomeField = rtrim(SomeField) + char(39)
where right(rtrim(SomeField),1) <> ''''
Thanks Bill for the solution it works.What l need now is an explanation so l can understand what l just did. Am l right in saying that the reason the char is 39 is to ensure that all fields regardless of length will have the qoute inserted at the end? What if the insert was to be at the beggining how would the query look like?
explain this portion (where right(rtrim(SomeField),1) <> '''') why those two qoutes?Thx a mil
Insert Character
Aug 31, 2001Q.
Initialy l wanted to insert a quote at the beginning and end of the filed. But l went on to try and insert a comma after the quote. Below are the steps that l followed. It basically gave me what l wanted to see but the problem is that ist got spaces in between which are too big and l getting an error as listed below.
Error Message
Server: Msg 8152, Level 16, State 9, Line 3
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

What am l doing wrong from step 4? Is it possible to insert quote and a comma then remove the last comma in the table not printing to screen like l'm doing? If so how. Thx for the help thus far
Step 1:-
/** Select a 100 records then insert the characters **/
select top 100 * into Temp1 from Temp
Step 2 :-
/** Insert a quote at the beginning of a record **/
update Temp1
set field = char(39) + rtrim(field)
where left(Field,1) <> ''''
Step 3 :
/** Insert a quote at the end of a record **/
update Temp1
set Field = rtrim(Field) + char(39)
where right(rtrim(Field),1) <> ''''
Step 4 :
/** Inserting a comma after the qoute at the end of the record **/
Declare @Temp1 Varchar(200)
Set @Temp1 = ''
Update Temp1
Set @Temp1 = @Loan2 + Temp1 + ','

Can I Insert/Update Large Text Field To Database Without Bulk Insert?
Nov 14, 2007I have a web form with a text field that needs to take in as much as the user decides to type and insert it into an nvarchar(max) field in the database behind. I've tried using the new .write() method in my update statement, but it cuts off the text after a while. Is there a way to insert/update in SQL 2005 this without resorting to Bulk Insert? It bloats the transaction log and turning the logging off requires a call to sp_dboptions (or a straight-up ALTER DATABASE), which I'd like to avoid if I can.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSql Insert Conversion Failed When Converting From A Character String To Uniqueidentifier. Error With Parameters
Dec 28, 2007Hi,I'm new at asp .net and am having a problem. On a linkbutton click event, I want to insert into my db a row of data which includes two parameters. Param1 is the id of the logged in user, and Param2 is <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> which is the username of a user given through a datalist.When I execute the query: "insert into aspnet_friendship (userId, buddyId) values (@Param1, @Param2)"I get the error: Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.I am trying to insert these into my table aspnet_friendship into the columns userId and buddyId which are both uniqueidentifier fields. I tested the query using the same values (@Param1, @Param1) and (@Param2, @Param2) and found out that the problem is with Param2 because when I use Param1 the insert works perfectly. The value passed by Param2 is supposed to be the id of a user which I get from the datalist which selects * from aspnet_Users, so that <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> should also be an Id like Param1 is. Since both params are in the form of .toString(), I don't understand why one works but the other doesn't.As you can see in the code below, both of these parameters are dimmed as strings, so I don't understand why Param2 doesn't work.
