SQL 2012 :: Script To Remove Any Foreign Characters From Table
Sep 14, 2015I have a table that is riddled with weird characters. So far I have found an escape character for PDF files and a trademark sign. These characters are crashing my SSIS packages. I am able to remove these characters with an update script...
Update TABLE
set LEAD_NOTES__C = Replace(LEAD_NOTES__C, nchar(65533) COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN2, '!');
Update TABLE
set LEAD_NOTES__C = Replace(LEAD_NOTES__C, nchar(1671) COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN2, '!');
This works fine, but my question is...
I would like to write a script that removes all foreign characters with the exception of the normal characters like (@,#,$,%,etc). I need a dynamic process that handles this so I am not losing time sifting through over 20,000 rows of data and changing my update script to remove a specific column. Although this method works, I would prefer a dynamic query. I intend to wrap this in a stored procedure that loops through all columns in a table (as parameter).
SQL Server 2008 :: Remove Double Quote In String Fields

While outputting to CSV.file
I got :0,2088,2088,"Month",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"N/A","N/A","G","N/A","Exempt","Other",1
How can I remove all double quotes in the string fields? so that O can get the result as below while the output

Remove 1st 5 Characters
Jan 3, 2008How do I remove the first 5 characters from a column?
I have a list of id's -
9999925173

9999924063
9999924053
9999924053

9999924053
0
9999924032
9999924037
9999924053
For some reason, we add a 99999 to our ID's and in order to compare to the customers data, I need to remove the 99999 (if they exist) from the column.
How would I do that? LEN?
Here's the output I'm looking for -

This is an example of the result returned:

Truncation Error Arrising From Quote Escaped Quotes In Quote Encapsulated Strings
Feb 15, 2006Hi All,
I'm having trouble importing a CSV file into SQL using SSIS. The trouble seems to stem from truncation and from quote encapsulated fields.
Firstly it's worth noting that some of the data within the quotes contains the separator. E.g.
12,"some text, and a comma",34
Thankfully SSIS seems to cope with that by specifying " as the Text Qualifier. My next problem was that the SSIS Import and Export Wizard gave an error: "failed because truncation occurred". But I fixed this by specifying the OutputColumnWidth for the NCHAR and NVARCHAR type columns to be the width from the table definition.
But now I have another problem with the length of fields. Consider the following where the center column is NCHAR (22)
101,"some text, and a comma",303
102,"some ""quoted text"" bye",303
The first row has the correct width (once the encapsulating quotes are stripped out), but the second row does not, because it seems that when I exported the table the export wizard escaped the quote characters within encapsulated strings using quote characters. So I am back to getting the "truncation occurred" error. How can I get around this within SSIS?
Cheers,
Tim.
How To Remove {CR}{LF} And Tab {t} Characters From Source Data?
Nov 7, 2006I have built a SSIS package that reads in data from a SQL Server 2005 source database into a flat file destination. The Row Delimiter is {CR}{LF}. The Column Delimiter is Tab {t}.
The data being read from the SQL Server database contains both {CR}{LF} and Tab {t} characters in various fields on several rows.
How can I process the input data from the SQL Server to remove these characters before passing it to the destination output file?
Sorry if this is obvious to all, but I am only just starting with SSIS...
Many thanks

SQL Server 2012 :: Select Case Statement To Remove Part Of String After One Or Two Specific Characters
Jun 3, 2015I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'
Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN***
Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire
Example Record 3. Stockport
How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?
The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0
THEN LEN(Address )
ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0
THEN LEN(Address)
ELSE CHARINDEX('*' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test2'
SQL Server 2008 :: Normalizing Data Prior To Migration (Update String To Remove Special Characters)
Aug 21, 2015I'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.

Remove Rows From One Table That The Key Does Not Exist In Another Table
Feb 15, 2008
I need a SSIS Package that compares the two tables and removes the rows in the first table with keys that do not exist in the second table. For example....
I have a table of returns based on returnID. In another table I have returnErrors that are based on returnID as well. I want a package that will uses my returns table as a source and compares that dataset to the dataset of the returnError and remove or spilt the data so that my remaining dataset only has returns that have returnErrors. I can do this in T-SQL, but I am looking for a SSIS solution that uses the conditional split transformation or some other transformation(s) combinations.

How To Remove A Table From Replication

Replacing Illegal Characters In Table
Dec 4, 2006i'm trying to figure out a way to replace a handful of "Illegal" characters in our SQL tables. We are using Project Server and some of these characters are causing errors or other issues in OLAP Cube.
I'm trying to figure out a way to change the following characters to an underscore ( _ ) :
illegal characters are: / ( ) . , ' : - &
Can I just create a SQL query that loops through a column to replace all of these characters at once? or do I have to replace one character at a time?! I tested replacing one at a time and it works with the REPLACE function.
I'm not all that familiar with MSSQL, I've spent past few years working with MySQL instead.
how can my query loop? or would using CASE help me out?
thanks. any feedback is much appreciated. If you need to know more, let me know.
regards
