Hello,
Can anyone tell me, how to convert an rtf string to text string using a function in SQL Server? I got a table in SQL Server database with field datatype text(16), which holds an rtf. I've to extract it as a text using a function.
thank you,
Does anyone have the logic to convert RTF formatted data in a textcolumn into plain ascii text that I can use in a varchar variable orfield?We have an app that allows formatted comments/notes to be stored in aSQL 2000 text column. Ideally, I would like a trigger that would copyany inserted comments into a seperate table, varchar field so thatthese are viewable in other apps that can not display formatted RTF.I would really like the logic to be all SQL based and not have to use aclient app to read/convert/insert the data in a batch mode.

The reason why I want dynamicallly set the table name in a storedprocudue WITHOUT using concatination and exec a SQL String.HenceIf @small_int_parameter_previous = 1 then@vchar_tablename = "sales_previous"else@vchar_tablename = "sales"Endselect * from udf_TableLookup(@vchar_tablename )So if I pass 1, that means I want all records from "sales_previous"otherwise give me all records from "sales" (Sales_Previous would last yearssales data for example).udf_TableLookup would I guess lookup in sysobjects for the table name andreturn the table object? I don't know how to do this.I want to do this to avoid having 2 stored procedures..one for current andone for previous year.Please respond to group so others may benfiit from you knowledge.ThanksErik

Hi
I know this is going to sound embarassingly obvious, but i cannot find a quick solution.
I have some data, I display that data in a table. Simple so far.
I have a table footer, which I want to display the total number of rows returned.
For example
"Total Rows Returned ="
Now I know how to get the total rows returned:
CountRows("Dataset1")
However when I try to put the two together like this:
= "Total Rows Returned =" + CountRows("Dataset1")
I just get the whole thing outputted, and no total for totalrows...
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Hello Everyone,
I do not see the forum for Reporting Services, so I will post this here for now. I have a VB Script that I would like to use as a Function to return the Weekday Name for me in Reporting Services.
[code]
Function rDateTime(rDate, rTime)
DIM myDay, myDayName, myMonthName , myYear, myTime
DIM myAMPM, myHour, myColon, myMinute
'get AM or PM from the time
myAMPM = Right(rTime,2)
'get Hour and Minute
myColon = instr(1, rTime, ":",vbBinaryCompare)
IF myColon = 2 THEN
myHour = Left(rTime,1)
myMinute = Mid(rTime, 3, 2)
ELSE
myHour = Left(rTime,2)
myMinute = Mid(rTime, 4, 2)
END IF
'concatenate the time
myTime = myHour & ":" & myMinute & " " & myAMPM
'get weekday number
myDayName = weekday(rDate)
'convert weekday number to weekday name
myDayName = weekdayname(myDayName)
'get the day, e.g. oct 19, 2002, will return 19
myDay = Day(rDate)
'get month number
myMonthName = Month(rDate)
'convert month number to month name (abbreviation True)
myMonthName = MonthName(myMonthName, True)
'get the year
myYear = Year(rDate)
'concatenate variables
rDateTime = myDayName & myMonthName & ". " & myDay & ", " & myYear & myTime"
End Function
How should I use this as a funciton in SQL Server Reporting Services? I think that I need to use a calculated field. Am I correct or what do I need to do to implment this. This code will return the Weekday Name which is what I need.
TIA for any help in advance.
Have a great day!

I am facing a problem with Convert function in SQL server 2000 with sp3 installed , Japanese version
In sql server 2000 (sp1 installed) Japanese version, the convert(datetime,,111) gives me date in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:min:sec
But in sql server 2000 (sp3 instaled) Japanese version, the convert(datetime, ,111) gives me date in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
I need the hh:min:sec to do an exact date comparison.
The problem is solved if I use Convert(datetime,,120).
Any pointers on the root cause of why the problem occurs with convert() function once sp3 is installed?
Writing a SQL Function as below
the input parameter for function should be datetime of sql datetimeformat
and out put should be a string = yyyymmdd1 or yyyymmdd2
The last character 1 or 2 based on below condition
if time is between 6AM and 5.59PM then 1
if 6PM to 5.59AM then 2
I have the following data stored in a column in a table:
£10,000.00 & ' " % < > Guðmundsdóttir Björk LÃ¥rs Marqués MarÃa-Jose Carreño Quiñones
I query this in a stored procedure using the FOR XML clause and universal table, and store the result in an XML data type variable:
DECLARE@ResultXML
EXECUTE[someStoredProcedure] @Result OUTPUT
This data (as XML) is then written to a file; in order to do this, I CONVERT the data to NVARCHAR since there are unicode characters in the source:
DECLARE@strResultNVARCHAR(MAX)
SET@strResult= CONVERT( NVARCHAR( MAX ), @Result, 1 )
Now this works fine, except on inspection, SQLServer has decided to render the data thus:
£10,000.00 & ' " % < > Guðmundsdóttir Björk LÃ¥rs Marqués MarÃa-Jose Carreño Quiñones
Why it has changed the apos and quot entities to the corresponding character but not the other entities is beyond me.
how to preserve XML entities?
I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work.

Hello!
I am trying to run a query on an SQL-server database:
SELECT (Left(Comments, 20)) As shortComment FROM myTable
The Field Comments is a Text field (datatype is text), and I can't get the LEFT function to work with this datatype...
How can I bypass this problem? Can I convert the commentfield to varchar in the QUERY?

Can anybody know ,how can we add builtin functions(ROW_NUMBER()) of Sql Server 2005 into database library.
I get this error when i used into storeprocedure :
ROW_NUMBER() function is not recognized in store procedure.
i used MS SQL SERVER 2005 , so i think "ROW_FUNCTION()" is not in MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library.
I need to add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library.
Can anbody know how we can add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library?
I'm using SS 2012.
I started with an inline table returning function with a hard coded input table name. This works fine, but my boss wants me to generalize the function, to give it in input table parameter. That's where I'm running into problems.
In one forum, someone suggested that an input parameter for a table is possible in 2012, and the example I saw used "sysname" as the parameter type. It didn't like that. I tried "table" for the parameter type. It didn't like that.
The other suggestion was to use dynamic sql, which I assume means I can no longer use an inline function.
This means switching to the multi-line function, which I will if I have to, but those are more tedious.
Any syntax for using the inline function to accomplish this, or am I stuck with multi-line?
A simple example of what I'm trying to do is below:
Create FUNCTION [CSH388102].[fnTest]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
@Source_Tbl sysname
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
select @Source_Tbl.yr from @Source_Tbl
)
Error I get is:
Msg 1087, Level 16, State 1, Procedure fnTest, Line 12
Must declare the table variable "@Source_Tbl".
If I use "table" as the parameter type, it gives me:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure fnTest, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'table'.
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure fnTest, Line 12
Must declare the scalar variable "@Source_Tbl".
The input table can have several thousand rows.
I would like to create a table valued function that fetch through the table below using a cursor and return the records that are unique

Hi, I have found some ways on using Convert() function for SQL server. But i do not understand some of them.
Example:
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),column name,108)
What is the 108 for? I see some with 120 and 101. I tried all but only 108 is working for me the way I want..but i do not understand what is that for actually. Can anyone explain it to me? Thank you.
Hi,
Here is the statement I'm trying to run....
declare @A varchar(5)
select @A='123'
select @A=(select convert(money,@A))
select @A
This is the error message I get:
Implicit conversion from data type money to varchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
Does anyone know what should I change in the query to make it work?
Thank you very much,

Hi all,
I have found an interesting problem with Convert function. When you Use this function to Convert Datetime to varchar and if the date happens to be 01/01/2000 or higher it return nothing. here is an Example.
CREATE TABLE ABC (Id int, Datein Datetime NOT NULL Default getdate())
GO
INSERT INTO ABC VALUES(1,'12/31/1999')
INSERT INTO ABC VALUES(2,'12/31/1999')
INSERT INTO ABC VALUES(3,'12/31/1999')
GO
SELECT *
FROM ABC
WHERE CONVERT(varchar,DateIn,101) < '01/01/2000'
-- This query returns Nothing
SELECT *
FROM ABC
WHERE DateIn < '01/01/2000 00:00:00'
AND DateIn > '12/30/1999 23:59:59'
-- this Query return the 3 row that it is suppose to.
Is there a Fix for this problem that any one know of.
Please, Help .. Or else I will have to do this solution for every time I am useing Convert function.

Hi
I'm an Access/VB coder by experience and trying to move apps to SQL Server 2000.
I have got to grips with the basics of DTS and tables and views and Stored Procedures (to an extent) but now need to upgrade an app that uses a vb function to produce a phased value for a set of budgets.
The VB function looks like this...
---------------------------------
Function calcPercentOfBudget(datFromDate As Date, datToDate As Date, iMonth As Integer, cBudget As Currency) As Currency
Dim iDuration As Integer
iDuration = DateDiff("d", datFromDate, datToDate) + 1
' if either date not in current year then 0 (both dates should be in same year)
If Year(datFromDate) <> Year(Now) Or Year(datToDate) <> Year(Now) Then
calcPercentOfBudget = 0
End If
Dim sRatio As Single, idaysInMonth As Integer, idaysInYear As Integer
' if passed month outside of period then 0
If Not (iMonth >= Month(datFromDate) And iMonth <= Month(datToDate)) Then
calcPercentOfBudget = 0
Exit Function
End If
idaysInMonth = daysInMonth(iMonth, Year(Now))
'if from date and to date in same month then 100% of budget
If Month(datFromDate) = Month(datToDate) Then
calcPercentOfBudget = cBudget
Exit Function
End If
' if passed month in From month then ratio of passed month (caters for 1st day of month - 100%)
If Month(datFromDate) = iMonth Then
'calcPercentOfBudget = (idaysInMonth + 1 - Day(datFromDate)) / idaysInYear * cBudget
calcPercentOfBudget = (idaysInMonth + 1 - Day(datFromDate)) / iDuration * cBudget
Exit Function
End If
'if passed month in To month then ratio of passed month (caters for last day of month - 100%)
If Month(datToDate) = iMonth Then
'calcPercentOfBudget = Day(datToDate) / idaysInYear * cBudget
calcPercentOfBudget = Day(datToDate) / iDuration * cBudget
Exit Function
End If
' if passed month within period then 100%
If iMonth > Month(datFromDate) And iMonth < Month(datToDate) Then
'calcPercentOfBudget = idaysInMonth / idaysInYear * cBudget
calcPercentOfBudget = idaysInMonth / iDuration * cBudget
Exit Function
End If
End Function
---------------------------------
Function daysInMonth(iMonth As Integer, iYear As Integer) As Integer
Dim datTemp As Date
datTemp = CDate("1/" & CStr(iMonth) & "/" & CStr(iYear))
datTemp = DateAdd("m", 1, datTemp)
datTemp = DateAdd("d", -1, datTemp)
daysInMonth = Day(datTemp)
End Function
---------------------------------
I have a UDF function LastDayInMonth to replace the daysInMonth vb function, and that works fine.
However I'm starting to get frustrated in trying to convert the main VB funciton to a UDF function. This is what I have got to, and as you'll see its totally wrong!...
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[calcPercentOfBudget] (@datFrom as datetime, @datTo as datetime , @iMonth as int, @cBudget as money, @GetDate as datetime)

set @iDuration = datediff(d, @datFrom, @datTo)
set @iDaysinMonth = dbo.LastDayInMonth('1/' + cast(@iMonth as varchar) + '/' + cast(year(@getdate) as varchar))
case
when year(@datFrom) <> year(@getdate) or year(@datTo) <> year(@getdate)
set @returnvalue = 0
when not(@iMonth >= Month(@datFrom) and @iMonth <= month(@datTo)
set @returnvalue 0
when month(@datFrom) = month(@datTo)
@set @returnvalue = @cBudget
when month(@datFrom) = @iMonth
set @returnvalue = (@iDaysInMonth + 1 - day(@datFrom)) / @iDuration * @cBudget
when month(@datTo) = @iMonth
set @returnvalue = Day(datToDate) / iDuration * cBudget
when @iMonth > month(@datFrom) and @iMonth < month(@datTo)
set @returnvalue = @iDaysInMonth / @iDuration * @cBudget
end
return @returnvalue
END
