Remove Duplicate Data

Dec 16, 2004

I have a query that for one reason or another produces duplicate information in the result set. I have tried using DISTINCT and GROUP BY to remove the duplicates but because of the nature of the data I cannot get this to work, here is an example fo the data I am working with

ID Name Add1 Add2
1 Matt 16 Nowhere St Glasgow
1 Matt 16 Nowhere St Glasgow, Scotland
2 Jim 23 Blue St G65 TX
3 Bill 45 Red St
3 Bill 45 red St London

The problem is that a user can have one or more addresses!! I would like to be able to remove the duplicates by keeping the first duplicate ID that appears and getting rid of the second one. Any ideas?

Cheers

Remove Null From Pivot Data?

Jan 17, 2015

I have a pivot query returning data ordered by a timestamp. In any give second only a few of the columns will have data, the remaining columns are NULL. I would like to default the NULL data values to the previous NON NULL value by timestamp.

Current Pivot Table:

Time RowA RowB RowC
12:15:12 NULL NULL 50
12:15:11 97 NULL NULL
12:15:10 98 25 51
12:15:06 101 NULL 50
12:15:05 100 NULL NULL

What should be returned:

Time RowA RowB RowC
12:15:12 97 25 50
12:15:11 97 25 51
12:15:10 98 25 51
12:15:06 101 NULL 50
12:15:05 100 NULL NULL

I know that I can do this user a cursor and handling the output is code, but I would prefer to do this in a single set based query.

How To Remove {CR}{LF} And Tab {t} Characters From Source Data?

Nov 7, 2006

I 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

DB Engine :: Cannot Remove One Last Data File From TempDB

May 19, 2015

In tweaking performance of tempdb by adding add'l data files I want to reset back to defaults and remove all add'l files I've created. I was not able to do it for most as they were in use, but by starting the server in single-user mode with all other sql services shut off, and using sqlcmd I was able to use the ALTER DATABASE tempdb REMOVE FILE <tempdev#> to remove the files... except for one.

I have also tried using the command:

ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev#, FILENAME = '<new location');

Restarted SQL server, and tried the ALTER DATABASE ... REMOVE FILE again but am always denied with the message that the file can't be removed b/c it's still in use.

I also tried to shrink it with EMPTYFILE but that also fails with the message that a page is a work table page and can't be removed.

I really need to get tempdb back to just one data file but am unable to find a way to remove this last data file.

Cann't Remove Data File From User Database

Mar 15, 2004

We are running SQL server 2003 with SP3. I'm trying to
shrink a data files with the emptyfile option so I can
eventually remove the file using the alter database
command. However, I get the following error message when I
run the alter database command:

Error: the file PRADATA4 cannot be removed because it is
not empty.

The file that I'm trying to remove still has 62 extents on it.
I looked MS Knowledge base 254253 and 279511 on this problem but they say it is corrected by SQL server 7.0 with service pack 3.
commands that I'm running are as follows:

1) USE PRA
DBCC TRACEON(8901)
DBCC SHRINKFILE ('PRADATA4', EMPTYFILE)
DBCC TRACEOFF(8901)

2) USE PRA
GO
ALTERDATABASE PRA
REMOVE FILE PRADATA4
GO

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Transform To Remove Rows From Data Set A That Match Rows In Data Set B On A Given Key?

Jun 28, 2006

Hi,

I have a common requirement in numerous SSIS processes to take my main input data set and to remove all rows from it that match a second input data set on a given key and output this as the main output. I also want to output (as a second output) all the rows from the main input data set that did match on the given key. However, I don't want to merge in data from the second input, nor am I interested in rows from the second input data set that have no match in the main input.

E.g. If I have the following data:

Main input:
Key Name
--- ----
1 Steve
2 Jamie
3 Donald

Second Input
Key DontCareAboutThisField1
--- -----------------------
1 ...
3 ...
4 ...

Then I would like the following output:

Main Output
Key Name
--- ----
2 Jamie

Second Output
Key Name
--- ----
1 Steve
3 Donald

Can I do this with a standard transform, or will I have to write my own? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Lawrie

SQL Server 2008 :: Normalizing Data Prior To Migration (Update String To Remove Special Characters)

Aug 21, 2015

I'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.

Would someone mind helping me with formatting a string please??
I have a column DECIMAL(4,2). In a stored proc I am selecting this field and converting it to varchar so I can append certain characters to it (this is really irrelevant to my question). However, before appending the characters, I need to remove zeros after the decimal point.
Examples:
3.00 should be 3
3.20 should be 3.2
3.05 should be 3.05
