Hi,
I am writing a SP in MSSQL. One of the parameted is VARCHAR type
which have comma seperated INT vlaues. I want to use this varible in
WHERE clause against INT type coloum. how do I achive this.
eg. DECLARE @CompanyTypeIDs VARCHAR(200)
SET @CompanyTypeIDs = '1,3,2'
Currently I am using it as
SELECT CompanyTypeID FROM Company WHERE CompanyTypeID IN (1,2,3)
CompanyTypeID is of INT type.
But I want to replace the consts with the Parameter passed as below
SELECT CompanyTypeID FROM Company WHERE CompanyTypeID IN
(@CompanyTypeIDs) - but this is not giving any result.
I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error: [OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?
Can't seem to get my head around this: I'm looking for a way to select only those varchar(10) values that soley consist of numbers. Leading spaces are allowed.
I tried using isnumeric, but it also allows those with periods, comma's etc. Also tried using like, but the length of the varchar column varies too much to do a like '[0-9][0-9]....'.
As a solution I currently do a combo of isnumeric, not like '%.%', not like '%,%' etc. I need to do a conversion to an int to join another table, but the convert still fails. Not sure where and why.
I'm thinking there should be a better way than create a hughe list of "not like " but it looks like I'm in the woods here...
Hi,I have a varchar column with values like:000 BNP=Item one HOP=Item two LLT=Item three001 LLT=Item one002 BNP=Item one LLT=Item twoI want to parse this rows into a table similar to the following output:000 BNP=Item one000 HOP=Item two000 LLT=ItemThree001 LLT=Item one002 BNP=Item one002 LLT=Item twoHas anybody done a similar assignment? Can you share me your solution?Thank you much!Edgar J.
In an effort to improve the speed of queries against my main table,I'll be indexing a column whose data type is varchar(50).Would I be better off (better performance) if I changed the column'sdata type to some numeric type? I would have to update the column'sdata to accomodate this, but I would do it if this offers aperformance gain.-- Bill
Hi Folks, Is it possible to add <a href=""http://www.yahoo.com"">xxxxxx</a> tag in varchar column as a text and display it as html hyperlink xxxxx (hyperlink). Thanks in advance Regards
Below is my query.Its working great if i remove ,Cast(C.ClassTime as time) as StartDate.But when i use this i get an error as The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value My ClassName is a varchar.Whose definition i cant change to DateTime now.But i want to cast it to DateTime.
Code: Select C.ClassID as Appointment_Id,C.ClassName as Appoitment_Descr,Cast(C.ClassTime as time) as StartDate,C.EndClassTime as EndDate, 'Class' as Type From Dojo D inner join DojoClass C on D.SchoolID = C.DojoSchoolID Where D.SchoolID = @DojoID and C.Days like'%' + @Days + '%' Union Select E.DojoEventID as Appointment_Id,E.EventName as Appoitment_Descr , E.EventStartDate as StartDate , E.EventEndDate as EndDate,'Event' as Type From Dojo D inner join DojoEvent E on E.DojoID = D.SchoolID Where D.SchoolID = @DojoID and @Date Between E.EventStartDate and E.EventEndDate
Is there a preferred way to order a varchar column numerically (for thosethat are numeric), then alphanumerically for all others?I've tried:ORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float,<column_name>) ELSE 999999999 END;andORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, CASE WHENIsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float, <column_name>) ELSE 999999END, <column_name>;Neither of these however give the desired results.Any ideas?Thanks,Frank

Hi all, I'm new at this SSIS but have been able to successfully create some simple packages. My situation is that at work we use a column to describe a status of applications. However, this makes for hellacious query because some of those statuses inherintly were one or more statuses previously. Example Admit = Admit Accept = Admit then Accept Withdraw Accept = Admit, Accept, then Withdraw Decline = Admit then Decline As you can see inherintly those were all admits at one point. So what I'd like to do is instead of having long queries for example to get all my "Admits", I'd rather query another table that has the following columns as bits: Admit Accept Withdraw That way I can query the admit column and get all my admits. How can I use SSIS to transform my "Decision" column into those bit columns? Thanks for any help or suggestions you have.
I have a table in my database and the table has almost 45 columns and the rowsize is 10468 bytes.in that most of the colums have varchar datatypes and and i think coz of poor knowledge of the data most of the columns with varchar data were given more column length. Now i want to decrease the size of those columns and to see the row size would be around 8k Bytes.If i do this now, does it affect the table performance much....Infact can i do this as there is lot of data (almost 2 million rows) in the table.If it is possible is there anything to be taken care before changing the column lenghts.
I've got a fairly standard query that does a group by a type column, and then sums the lengths of a VARCHAR column. I'd like to add into that a concatenated version of the string always concatenating in primary key order. Is that possible?
I want to just retrieve the numbers left of the space in this address column what can I use? The Address column is Varchar.
Address: 6501 Red Hook Place #201 32 Orchard St 1 Hardy Rd ste 210 379 E Center St. 170 Bridge St 399 Interpace Pkwy 1800 Valley Rd 2210 Harding Hwy 41 Maple Ct
Expected Results:
Address 6501 32 1 379 170 399 1800 2210 41
I tried using this:
Left([ADDRESS], Charindex(' ',[ADDRESS] - 1)) as 'Address'
But i received an error:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '6501 Red Hook Place #201' to data type int.
I have a table . It has a nullable column called AccountNumber, whichis of varchar type. The AccountNumber is alpha-numeric. I want to takedata from this table and process it for my application. Before doingthat I would like to filter out duplicate AccountNumbers. I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here? Can somebody help me in making sure Ifilter out all duplicate entries ?Thanks,Rad
IF I have a table like the below one and i have to insert a number value which is inserted as varchar in an int column then what is expected behavior of this statements .
create table stud (id int) insert into stud values ('1').
I have a DB named zCIFRecord with a column named CIFUpdateDate which is of datatype varchar. The data is a date MM/DD/YYYY 01/30/2008, this is al that is in this column. I can search this colum for individual dates and for a range of dates. My problem is with a range of dates that is not within the same year, such as;
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE [CIFUpdateDate] between '12/01/2007' and '01/30/2008'
will return nothing because it seems to only search on the 12 then the 01 then the 2008. this search can be performed properly on dates within the same year such as;
SELECT [CIFPan]
,[CIFMemNum]
,[CIFLName]
,[CIFFName]
FROM [FutureSoft].[dbo].[zCIFRecord]
WHERE [CIFUpdateDate] between '01/01/2008' and '01/30/2008'
will return the proper values because now all the numbers are in correct order. How can i create a search that lets me perform the first query as well as the second query. I tried to convert to a float but you cant convert a varchar to a float.
I inserted a record in table on DB created on SQLServer 2005 and found out that the one of the column values is shown as '??????' instead of showing the encrypted value that I sent with the insert statement.3
