Hi,another problem I have is that have compounded fields in my sql table.Exampleproduct@customerI need a simple function to return "customer", so it should return the valueafter "@", unfortunate "@" will sometimes be character number 6, sometimescharacter number 7 etc.regardsJorgen
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));

How to calculate the overall average number of days taken to complete something.
The two fields are enquiry_date (date enquiry is recorded) and complete_date (date enquiry completed/closed).
Each enquiry has a enquiry_number
Sample data typically looks like:
Enquiry number - enquiry_time - complete date
1 - 01/01/2014 - 12/01/2014
2 - 01/01/2014 - 11/01/2014
3 - 01/01/2014 - 10/01/2014
4 - 01/01/2014 - 07/01/2014
5 - 01/01/2014 - 12/01/2014
6 - 01/01/2014 - 04/01/2014
etc.
What is the piece of SQL which looks at the average date difference for each enquiry and then sums it all up to give an overall average number of days it takes?
How do I output a row number for a table solely for the purpose ofquerying for a unique row?In my problem, the table from a legacy system does not have a primarykey, so it limits various querying I'd like to do that identifiesuniqueness in the table.The problem is that since I'm using DTS to simply copy the table toSQL, I don't want to create identity rows.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow to write a query that calculate the number of days (approx) that it takes to a customer to pay an invoice.
Document Types
1 Payment
2 Invoice
3 Credit Memo
4 Finance Charge Memo
5 Reminder
6 Refund
There are three methods to consider when calculating the days to pay logic.
Method 1 - Simple : Look for Document Type 2 (Invoice), if "closed at date" > "posting date" then number of days = ("closed at date" - "posting date")
Method 2 - A Document Type 1 (payment) closes a Document Type 2 (Invoice)
For this method the formula would be: Payment Record (1) "posting date" - Invoice Record (2) "posting date"
Method 3 - An Invoice closes the payment.
On a payment entry “closed by entry no.” refers to an Invoice entry.
a. In our code we are not on the payment looking for the invoice, we are on the invoice.
i. Because of this we need to find the entry that our current invoiced has closed.
I am taking this from a page that has the pascal code that I need to translate to SQL.
IF (CustLedgEntry2."Document Type" = CustLedgEntry2."Document Type"::Invoice) AND
NOT CustLedgEntry2.Open
THEN
IF CustLedgEntry2."Closed at Date" > CustLedgEntry2."Posting Date" THEN
UpdateDaysToPay(CustLedgEntry2."Closed at Date" - CustLedgEntry2."Posting Date")

If we see at the data above Test has 2 rows because he changed his specialty in the middle.My requirement is to calculate the total number of employees in each month for last 2 years in each speciality. For example if we look at the example above, Test was in Inside property from 2009 Aug to 2010 Aug but if i use just the date start and take the month for each adjuster it gives me the number of adjusters started in that year and month but what i want is Test should be counted in all the months for Inside property until 2010 07 month. Which means i want to have the total number of adjusters present by each speciality for each month of last 2 years .

I need to calculate the number of working days from a date backwards. For example 2 working days before Thursday would be the Tuesday (as a basic example)

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
Im trying to get a users age from their date of birth which is stored in my table, and although I can get the age I cant actually use it in a where clause as it keeps stating invalid column name age. Below is a much reduced version of my code that shows my problem in a clearer way (the where clause is for example purposes as I dont intend to use it like this but it does show my problem):
SELECT DATEDIFF(YY, '8/5/1971', GETDATE()) - CASE WHEN (MONTH('8/5/1971') = MONTH(GETDATE()) AND DAY('8/5/1971') > DAY(GETDATE()) OR MONTH(GETDATE()) > MONTH('8/5/1971')) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS Age
WHERE Age = 35
Now this does get the persons correct age for the time of year and works fine until I include the WHERE clause, that is when I get the error. You can see that I have alias the returned column with the name Age but I keep getting the invalid column name Age error. What is wrong and how can I sort it out?
Now I did manage to resolve this problem using a temporary table (full actual code below) but Im certain my resolution cant be the best or easiest way to do this. Please help! Thanks

I want to get the number of days pending for a perticular column. I want the out put as a integer value.
This is what I used for my calculated field.
But when i write this day is underlined in red. It says unrecognized identifier.

If I use "day", then it is not underlined but still it does not work.
When I use following query, I get no error message. but still no data in the column too.
=DATEDIFF("d", Fields!SubmittedDate.Value, "GETDATE()" )
Can anyone tell me why is that?

Our fiscal year starts on July 1st. Each month they call a period - so July is period 1, August is period 2, etc.
They are wanting a report that pulls numbers for a given period. There are parameters for them to select the fiscal year and the fiscal period, and then it calculates the numbers for that period. That part works fine.
Now they want me to do some calculations, and one of them is to divide one of the numbers by the # of days since the fiscal year. So if they choose July, it would be 31 days. If they choose August, it would be 61 days, etc. How can I set this up to calculate the number of days when they really aren't entering a start date, it's just a fiscal year and period.
Is there a way to calculate a date field that is 07/01/xxxx where xxxx is the fiscal year they chose? Also a way to calculate a date field that would be the last date of the month for the fiscal period and year they chose?
I suppose I could add 2 other parameters where they enter the start of the current fiscal year, and the last day of the period they're running it for, and use a datediff to calculate that. Just seems kind of redundant.
I have a challenge and I'm not sure the best route to go. Consider the following dataset.
I have a table of sales. The table has fields for customer number and date of sale. There are 1 - n records for a customer. What I want is a record per customer that has the customer number and the average number of months between purchases. For example, Customer 12345 has made 5 purchases.
CustomerNumber SalesDate
1234 05/15/2010
1234 10/24/2010
1234 02/20/2011
1234 05/02/2012
1234 12/20/2012
What I want to know is the average number of months between the purchases. And do this for each customer.
Hi all,
@str varchar(500)
select @str = 'abcd,efgh,i,jklmn,opsqrtuv'
For the above string, which string function can be used to find the number of occurences of a particular character, for example, ','? For this example, the answer should be 4. Is there any built-in function in SQL to do this?
Thanks in advance,

I am a student, and I am so confused by SQL code that calculates incomes of my contract in a year or each month of year.
I have 3 tables:
lodgings_Contract:
id_contract indentity primary,
id_person int,
id_room varchar(4),
day_begin datetime,
day_end datetime,
day_register datetime
money_per_month money
electric:
id_electric indentity primary key,
id_room varchar(4),
number_first int,
number_last int,
Sum_Number int,
money_electric money,
status bit
Water:
id_Water indentity primary key,
id_room varchar(4),
number_first int,
number_last int,
Sum_Number int,
money_water money,
status bit
Now what I want to do are statistics on how much money I got in a year or month. Here is my code to calculate incomes of year.
Select Year(day_register) as 'Year'
, Sum(money_per_month * month(day_end-day_register)) + sum(b.money_electric+c.money_water) as 'Incomes'
From lodgings_Contract a
, electric b
, Water c
Where a.id_room = b.id_room
And a.id_room = c.id_room
And b.status = 1
And c.status = 1
Group by Year(day_register)

I need to calculate the last two columns (noofgrp and grpsize) No of Groups (count of Clientid) and Group Size (number of clients in each group) according to begtim and endtime. So I tried the following in the first Temp table
GrpSize= count(clientid) over (partition by begtime,endtime) else 0 end
and in the second Temp Table, I have
select
,GrpSize=sum(grpsize)
,NoofGrp=count(distinct grpsize)
From Temp1
The issue is for the date of 5/26, the begtime and endtime are not consistent. in Grp1 (group 1) all clients starts the session at 1030 and ends at 1200 (90 minutes session) except one who starts at 11 and end at 1200 (row 8). For this client since his/her endtime is the same as others, I want that client to be in the first group(Grp1). Reverse is true for the second group (Grp2). All clients begtime is 12:30 and endtime is 1400 but clientid=2 (row 9) who begtime =1230 but endtime = 1300. However, since this client begtime is the same as the rest, I wan that client to be in the second group (grp2) My partition over creates 4 groups rather than two.
