Is it possible using Sql2000 to compare the first four characters of a parameter?
WHERE (tblLinkInfo.CG_ID = @BCG_ID) AND ( 'first 4 characters' of Location_Zip.Zip = 'first 4 characters' of @ZipCodeIn)
Could someone please help me? I am trying to pull in a partial string (the last six characters of the field, to be exact).
This is an example of my code:
select *
into #temp_2
from #temp_1 a, Server2.DBa.dbo.table2 r
where r.field1r = a.field1a and
r.field3r = a.field3a (field3a is where I need just the last 6 characters)
To be more specific:
r.field3r looks like 000884
a.field3a looks like 17445000884
So- I just want to pull in the 000884 off of a.field3a

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.
how do i update a table which has like two strings in 1 column like

i managed to strip the first name which is the string at the back but not the last name which is the string at the front
Hi! I need to replace a string in a SQL table with a new path.
Essentially, I want to find and replace the share path while retaining the rest of the path past that point.
I tried using Update (on a test table of course) but it sompley find and replaces with no regards to the rest of the path.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Daily, I have to map thoursands of items into its correct category. What I have to do is Filter item by the ClSID and SCLISD, then look into the Label for where the item should be. For example from the attachment,
CLSID = 1 and SCLSID = 23 - if in the label has the keyword "notebook", its NEW_CAT should be 14 and its NEW_CATNAME is LAPTOPS;
CLSID = 1 and SCLSID = 23 - if in the Label contains Tablet PC, its NEW_CAT name should be 2474 and its NEW_CATNAME is PC LAPTOPS.
CLSID = 3 and SCLSID = 54 - if in the Label contains Watch, its NEW_CAT name should be A6052 and its New_CATNAME is SMART WATCH.
Basically, the work flow is looking into the CLSID, then SCLSID,then, Label and then assign a correct NEW_CAT and NEW_CATNAME of the item.
I have written a code but I can't get it look into specific CLSID and SCLSID.
For example, i have when upper(Label) like upper ('%Tablet%PC%') then '2474 PC Laptops'
I couldn't attach either the file or image.
I have to write one query to exclude data from partial string in the predicate.
Select * from table where col NOT in ('%abc%,%xyz%).
So the data where col value doesn't contain the ABC and xyz string value only should be selected. I am also getting xyz data in the result.
Select
left(
[Description],(charindex(';',[Description],1)-1))
from xxxx
Example of Description contains
Ankle Supports; Color=Black; Size=S
So I want the left side up to and NOT including the semi colon.

View 1 Replies View Relatedusing SQL2000, table has a field defined as 'smallmoney'. This is being populated from a text file that has two digits after the decimal -> 56.50
I was trying to use cast and convert going in but no luck, as near as I can determine they only work on output.
So the question is : how can I get string data into smallmoney. Otherwise I have to redefined the field as a varchar or decimal

the placeholder approach works nicely with an insert statement and I've tried it with an update statement but keep getting an error. This is the current code:
Var1 = strArray(1)
Var2 = strArray(2)
Var3 = (strArray(3)
Cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE WBS.dbo.pludec38 SET PLU = ?, SET Dscrpt1 = ?, SET Price = ?"
Cmd.Parameters.Refresh
Cmd.Parameters(0) = Var1
Cmd.Parameters(1) = Var2
Cmd.Parameters(2) = Var3
Cmd.Execute
The error occurs at or near the refresh stmt. What am I doing that is causing this? And what is the difference between this and the insert. The insert uses the parameters block without choking.
Thanks

Hi all,
I'm new to SQL and I am trying to move from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 on another server. When I change my connection string from the old IP to the new one(with SQL 2005) my web app crashes. Here is the command string I need to change:
<add key="ConnStr" value="data source=myoldIP;initial catalog=gt-test;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypassword;" />
I have copied the old database exactly the way it was to the new one. I need to change myoldIP to my new one but when I do it crashes... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help

We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly.
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.
Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?
Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?
hi every one,
i need to test SSIS pacakge which will import data from different database where record count is around 5 millions.
iam planning to test it through c# code as well as manually also.
SSIS source : consist of 7 tables
SSIS destination :consist of 7 tables
Using c# code iam trying to run ssis package through batch file.
i am putting expected rowcount, column count in an excel file and comparing same with destination tables by writing query implementing ADO.Net concept.
am i going right way ,can any one suggest best and productive way to test the ssis package .
what are the other things i need to test it.
do any one can add test cases to it.
S.No
Test Case
1
Verify all the tables have been imported.
2
Verify all the rows in each table have been imported.
3
Verify all the columns specified in source query for each table have been imported
4
Verify all the data has been received without any truncation for each column.
5
Verify the schema at source and destination
6
Verify the time taken /speed for data transfer
7
Fields truncated due to difference in length of the field at destination.

I'm trying to select a recordset (using ASP), but I know I only want part of the recordset, and am not sure how to limit it ahead of time.
For example, the query will return about 500 rows, but I know I only want to use a small section of these records.
I want to give the user the ability to navigate through small sections of these 500 rows without having to get all rows all the time.
I know ahead of time which rows to get, but have no idea how to limit the recordset before I get it (there is no fields in the database to help).
This is what I'm doing now. "select * from xyz where id=xxx order by date desc;" I know I only want the first 10, or 10-20, or 400-410.
The way I'm doing it now, I'm getting the whole recordset each time, doing a "rs.move x" where x is where I want to start.
This is really a waste of network traffic and memory since my SQL server is on a different machine as the web server running ASP.
How do I do this?

The following code accepts a couple of parameters and creates a temp table to hold unpaid schedule rows (like invoices). Then is takes the payment amount passed and starts paying the oldest ones first, until it runs out of money or pays a partial. When it pays it inserts a row in the applieds table with the schedule_ID, Receipt_ID (payment id), applied amount, and applied date.
What I need help with is: Say there is a partial payment from a previous payment, I need to pay that one, but only the unpaid part. Then continue to pay other schedule rows...

In our database we have the concept of 'Companies' each company has an entry in a tblCompanyControls using a field lCompanyNumber to uniquely identify it.
Company specific data is then grouped within additional tables using this
lCompanyNumber.
Thus all the departments for a particular company (eg 4) exist in a table
tblDepartments with lCompanyNumber =4. The same applies for pensions, pay
elements, employees and so on.
Each employee has various attributes stored in several tables, thus the
main data is stored in tblEmployees with an lCompanyNumber to illustrate
the company they belong to. And a system generated lUniqueID that is the 1
to many relationship to tables such as tblEmployeePayElements,
tblEmployeePensionSchemes.
These in turn have a primary key that establishes a 1 to many with the
period data for pay elements etc.
What we want to do is replicate only the data for a specific company, for
tblEmployees, tblDepartments this looks straightforward as i just set a
filter like 'tblEmployees.lCompanyNumber = 4'. My problem is how do I
replicate just the tblEmployeePayElements for those employees that are in
the specific company as the table does not contain the lCompanyNumber. Can
you replicate a view? I an quite ignorant of replication and would really
appreciate some pointers. Note DRI is not in use.
I am are running SQLSERVER SP4 on WINNT SP3.
I am serious problem of partial update my query is
something like
bEGIN tRAN
declare cursor...
SElect * from tableA where flag = null
open cursor
fetch first...
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
UPDATE TABLE tableB ..
.
.
.
fetch next
END
CLOSE ...
DEALLOCATE..
COMMIT TRAN
The problem is the cursor select retrieves
says about 10000 rows, goes thru the
loop for 1000 rows and just terminates without
giving an error message,or rolling back
in case of errors, but comes out as successfully
completed.
I am at loss as what could be the problems..
any suggestions welcome..
Thanks in advance,

Guys, i have a table that one of the columns (Email To) is
a concatenated list of email addresses separated by semi colons ";".
i.e.:
rrb7@yahoo.com;richard.butcher@sthou.com;administr ator@sthou.com
etc like that.
each row varies with one exception. administrator@sthou.com is in each one.
is there a simple way thru sql or T-SQL to delete that "administrator@sthou.com" part? or should i call each row individually into say, a VB.net form using a split with the deliminator ";"
and then looping thru and updating each row?
thanks again for any easy answer

I have been asked to see what I can recover from a development server whose database became suspect during a power failure.
One developer from another group who's time is limited tried to repair the database using checkdb, but it is still suspect.
There are no recent backups of anything whatsoever. Needless to say, we are lacking in DBA skills here. At this point, we don't care whether we get the data back, but we are desperate to recover the table definitions, user-defined functions and stored procedures -- if not all of them than most of them; if not most of them than some.
What are our options here?
Are their any good third-party tools to help us with this problem?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a file where there is a partial row at the end. It doesn't cause an error, but I get a "partial row" warning during execution.
What do most people do with these partial rows? Do they just ignore them as long as they don't cause errors? Or is it better to handle the partial row with a conditional split, for example?
Just wondering what other people's thoughts on this are. I tend to be of the "get rid of it" camp, but maybe that's overkill? Just looking for opinions, best practices.

Hi - I am using partial backup & restore on a Data Warehouse database currently in development.
When I recently tested the restore procedure I got the following error when trying to an online restore of one of the ReadOnly filegroups:
Msg 3125, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The database is using the simple recovery model. The data in the backup it is not consistent with the current state of the database. Restoring more data is required before recovery is possible. Either restore a full file backup taken since the data was marked read-only, or restore the most recent base backup for the target data followed by a differential file backup.
I believe I received this message as the Filegroup I was attempting to restore had been set ReadWrite since it was backed up.
So - I am looking for a query to test that all my filegroup backups are consistent with the live database.
I think I can achieve this by checking the read_write_lsn & read_only_lsn values for the filegroup to restore are the same as the values in sys.master_files for the live database.
I am reading the lsn values for the backup from msdb.dbo.backupfile
Can anyone confirm this is the correct approach? or is there a better way to do this??
Many Thanks
