Searching For Strings That Contain Characters Other Than Letters?
Aug 4, 2004Hi,
I have a table in an Access db that stores information about speech files. One of the fields in this table is called "Text" and it contains the phrase spoken in that particular speechfile.
These phrases often have characters such as the "#" sign at the end to indicate what tone of voice is used.
I am trying to create a Search where users can enter the phrase they are looking for, and will be returned the file (or combination of files) that contain this phrase.
My problem is, when I try to search for a string of text that includes the "#" I get 0 results everytime.
An example of what I am doing is this:
SELECT Speechfiles.Name FROM Speechfiles
WHERE Speechfiles.Text LIKE 'aero#'
It works fine for 'aero' or '*aero*' but whenever I try to add a character that is not a letter, it won't work.
If anyone has any ideas, I would REALLY appreciate it!!! I am completely at a loss.
Thanks so much....
SQL Server 2012 :: Compare Characters Between 2 Strings And Eliminate Similarities
Oct 13, 2015I am trying to write a function to compare the characters between 2 strings and eliminate the similarities to be able to return at the end the number of differences between them.
Having in mind i need the bigger number of differences to be returned also if a character is repeated in one of the 2 words it will be eliminated once because it exist only one time in other string.
I will give an example below to be more clear
--Start
declare @string1 as varchar(50)='imos'
declare @string2 as varchar(50)='nasos';
WITH n (n) AS (
SELECT 1 FROM (VALUES (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) n (n)
[Code] ....
The differences in first string from second one are 2 (i,m) while the differences in second string from first one are 3(nas).
So the function should return 3 in previous example.
Do Not Keep NULLS Using SSIS Bulk Insert Task - Insert Empty Strings Instead Of NULLS
May 15, 2008I have two SSIS packages that import from the same flat file into the same SQL 2005 table. I have one flat file connection (to a comma delimited file) and one OLE DB connection (to a SQL 2005 Database). Both packages use these same two Connection Managers. The SQL table allows NULL values for all fields. The flat file has "empty values" (i.e., ,"", ) for certain columns.
The first package uses the Data Flow Task with the "Keep nulls" property of the OLE DB Destination Editor unchecked. The columns in the source and destination are identically named thus the mapping is automatically assigned and is mapped based on ordinal position (which is equivalent to the mapping using Bulk Insert). When this task is executed no null values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file. Empty string values are inserted instead of NULL.
The second package uses the Bulk Insert Task with the "KeepNulls" property for the task (shown in the Properties pane when the task in selected in the Control Flow window) set to "False". When the task is executed NULL values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file.
So using the Data Flow Task " " (i.e., blank) is inserted. Using the Bulk Insert Task NULL is inserted (i.e., nothing is inserted, the field is skipped, the value for the record is omitted).
I want to have the exact same behavior on my data in the Bulk Insert Task as I do with the Data Flow Task.
Using the Bulk Insert Task, what must I do to have the Empty String values inserted into the SQL table where there is an "empty value" in the flat file? Why & how does this occur automatically in the Data Flow Task?
From a SQL Profile Trace comparison of the two methods I do not see where the syntax of the insert command nor the statements for the preceeding captured steps has dictated this change in the behavior of the inserted "" value for the recordset. Please help me understand what is going on here and how to accomplish this using the Bulk Insert Task.
Update/Insert Using XML Strings As Parameters
May 20, 2008Hi All,
We got this little issue of passing around (updated and inserting) small dataSets (20-500 or so records) from fat clients to a remote server running .Net / SQL 2005.
Instead of trying to fudge the data and make updates in .Net, we just decided it would be a lot less nonsense if we just wrap up the dataSets in an XML string, have .Net just pass it thru as a parameter in a SP and let SQL parse it out using openXML. The data is small and server is low use, so I'm not worried about overhead, but I would like to know the best methods and DO's & Don'ts to parse the XML and make the updates/inserts....and maybe a few good examples. The few examples I've come across are kind of sketchy. Seems it's not a real popular method of handling updates.
Thanks in Advance,
Bill
Anyone Has Any Idea On How To Insert 2 Strings Into A Row With 2 Lines Created?
Jul 2, 2007<p>Hi ,
I would like to know anyway to insert two strings into a row with 2 lines created?My codes are as below
If NodeName = "subProductPrice" Then If xmlrder.NodeType = Xml.XmlNodeType.Text Then SubPrPriceList.Add(xmlrder.Value)
For i = 0 To SubPrPriceList.Count - 1 SubPrPrice = CStr(SubPrPriceList.Item(i)) PriceBrkDownStr &= SubPrPrice
Next
PricePerDay = SvcDate & PriceBrkDownStr dr("dailyPrice") = PricePerDay End If End If
Although both the SvcDate and PriceBrkDownStr are inserted into the same row but they are displayed into one line such as below:
<u>dailyPrice </u>02/03/2007 03/03/2007 120 230
Any idea how to make the date and price separate into two rows in the same table grid row? thanks =)</p>

Bulk Insert Of Long Unicode Strings
Jul 20, 2005Here is the situation, please let me know if you have any tips:..TXT files in a share at \fooSPROCS run daily parses of many things, including data on that share. Theother day, we encountered rows in the TXT files which looked like:column1Row1data,column2Row1datacolumn1Row2data,column2Row2data...etc..However, column2 was about 6000 bytes of unicode. We are bulk insertinginto a table specifying nvarchar(4000). When it encounters high unicoderows, it throws a truncation error (16).We really need information contained in the first 200 bytes of the string incolumn2. However, the errors are causing the calling SPROC to abort.Please let me know if you have any suggestions on workarounds for thissituation. Ideally, we would only Bulk Insert a sub-section of column2 ifpossible.Thanks!/Ty
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan't Insert Enough Characters...
Sep 30, 2005I must be doing something wrong, but I cannot imagine what it could be. I made a brand new table and started to enter some data. I am putting the initail data in using Enterprise Manager. This is essentially test data for development. I have several varchar columns set to 8000 for their size. When I try to enter text into them it is getting truncated at 999 characters. I thought that maybe I misunderstood the varchar type and that 1000 characters is 8000 bits and that is what the 8000 means. So, I redid the table with the datatype "text" for my long columns. Same thing. It is being truncated at 999. Is there something I am missing here? I am not trying to do anything tricky or confusing, I am simply trying to put more than 1000 characters into a table column.I should mention that I have been pasting the text that is copied from Notepad (to remove any extranous formatting). The text cuts cut off and I cannot even type in the column after that.Any clues would really be appreciated.

Bizzare Error - All Back-up Agent Jobs Failed With Unsual Error!
Jan 29, 2008I have a really odd one here. We have a production server which is running SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3. It has a number of databases which are backed up nightly. Last night all of the back-up jobs failed with the following error: -
Msg 913, Sev 16: Could not find database ID ##. Database may not be activated yet or may be in transition. [SQLSTATE 42000]
The databases are in good shape - no issues to report. When I run the Agent Job code within a Query Analyser session it works fine.
When I try and re-start the back-up from the Agent Job it continues to fail with the same error.
Any ideas?

INSERT To Text Column Losing Characters
Jun 21, 2007I'm adding data to a text column, and whenever I have a backslash at the end of a line it disappears. Here's an example:
Code:
INSERT INTO MyTable (TextCol) VALUES ('some text
some more text
yet more text')
The on the first line is fine- the on the 2nd line just disappears. If I add a 2nd backslash on the end of the line, one is inserted. If I add a space to the end of the line, everything works as normal. I can fix this client-side, but before I do I'd really like to know what's going on?

View 7 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2014 :: BCP And Bulk Insert Of Special Characters
Jul 22, 2015I'm testing, with SQL 2014 on the same DB, a procedure that extracts data from a table into a file and Loads data from that file into a different table which has the same columns as the initial table (I use a function to create the create table statement from the source table and change the name of the destination table)
when doing my bcp -c the record with the special character "é" doesn't make it to the file.
when doing a bcp -w the record with the special character makes it to the file but the bulk insert omits the whole record.
The result file in the case that makes it to the file is unicode. I'm not using a format file (don't see the need for it)
The bulk insert into the destination table that contains identical columns as the source (a mixture on int, varchar, char) --> didn't work
I also tried by building the columns of the destination table with nvarchars -- Still doesn't work.
I tried the bulk insert with:
codepage = 'ACP, 'RAW' --> didn't change anything. still didn't work.
It's a complicated process that takes 1 XML record that contains information + the Create Table Statement (to eventually be able to this on a different server/DB) + the title Row for each column + the Data... Each of these are created with a BCP command (all with the same options). they are then appended to each other with a copy /B c:file1.txt + c:File2.txt + c:File3.txt + c:File4.csv c:ResultFile
Once the result file is created I bulk insert the 2 first rows in one table "TableA"
create the tmp table "TABLE B" with the create table statement that is in "TableA"
and do another bulk insert of the remainder of the file into the newly created table.
What else can I try? Should I be creating a format file? what are the benefits of a format file?
It's a very long procedure that does both Extract and Load (with 12 parameters) not sure what I should put here.
Concatenate Strings After Assigning Text In Place Of Bit Strings
Feb 19, 2007I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.
I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.
This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:
select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +
case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +
case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String
from new_database
The output would be
Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/
So far, nothing I have tried has worked.
Any ideas?

Help With Query Strings
Feb 7, 2007I am using query strings to pass data from web form to web form and I have two questions. First if i use a asp:sqldatasouce to fill up a grid view and I have my select command set to a paramater that get whatever is in the query string it will not work because whatever is in the quers string gets a " ' " put in front and in the back of it. So if the query string was 5 whene it does the sql statement it sets my paramater = '5' not just 5 so its wont work. How can I fix this using the asp:sql datasource my aspx code looks like
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Rental PropertiesConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [APARTMENTS] WHERE ([PROPERITY_ID] = @PROPERITY_ID)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="PROPERITY_ID" QueryStringField="key" Type="Int32" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
Also since i have not been able to get around this so i have been wrting code in vb.net to attact a dataset to a grid view to populate it based on the query string i would do the following in vb.net to get ride of the ' in front and behind the query string
Dim y as string = "'" // " ' "
key = Request.QueryString("key").trim(y.tochararray)
But now i am doing another project in C# and I have re-written the above code in C# it will run but it will not take the " ' " out form infront or behind key. How does this need to be changed up?
string y = "'";
key = Request.QueryString["key"].trim(y.tochararray());

Connection Strings
Nov 24, 2007I developed an application and deployed it onto a hosted provider. I use SQL 2005 Express for development SQL 2000 for production. Both systems work.
I backed up my production database and wish to use it for my development testing. I restored it as a SQL 2000 database on my development machine and changed my connection strings to point to it. I added it as a new Data Connection in Database Explorer and can see all of the data through it, but I see that all the tables now have the owner name in parenthesis as part of the table name.
My application now fails trying to find any of the tables. It works if I include the owner name as part of the SELECT statement. So much for data separation.
I don't know where to start. Is this an issue between SQL 2005 Express and SQL 2000, or is it an issue between SQL and ASP.NET, or is it a hosting provider issue, or what?????
Connection Strings
Jan 24, 2008Hey guys, don't know if this is in the right place but here goes.
I'd like some advice on optimizing the way I write my code. Here's the scenario. I have a select string for 3 different tables. One for the main gridview, and two others that are binded to dropdownlists.
So I created a Sqldatasource1,2,3 and had to create the connection strings for each one.
ex. SqlDataSource1.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource2.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource3.ConnectionString = "blah"the thing is, the connection string itself is the same. Is there a way to consolidate that? So that when I use a select/update/insert command for each sqldatasource i dont have to have another connection string? Also, having multiple connectionstrings, does that slow down the performance?
Where Do You Store Your SQL Strings
Feb 28, 2008In an ASP.NET app, where is the preferred place (or your preferred place, I should say) to store any SQL Statements (updates, selects, stored procedure calls, etc.) you have? I have been using a key/value pair in AppSettings in my web.config but just feel like that isn't the best way. What say you?
