Hi All,
I want to extract a numeric value from a string. Example, in a string like - Mgmt Pack: Processor Exception Threshold >80% Every 10 Minutes. - I want to extract that number 80. Since, later I'll want this number to plot a graph.
Since this is going to be an alert pulled from OnePoint (MOM Operational Database), the number will vary, and so I cannot look for the same number. So, can anyone help me how to get this working?
Thanks a lot in advance and let me know if the question is not clear.

Is it possible to write a sql statement to skip aplpha numeric values? I got a field containing these values; 20, 70, 150, 140, 100, KORT, 90, 180, 160. And I'm trying to check if any value is bigger than 175 (@Limit), but I want to skip the value 'KORT'. So is it possible to check if a value is numeric or not? ISNULL( CONVERT(int, ProductVariant.Size), 0) > @Limit Regards, Sigurd

Dear All,
the situation is that i have a column data comes from flat file and all i want to do is to check that the incoming column is numeric(12,3) and if the incoming data exceed that size "12,3" exception or redirect the row is happened.
the problem that i try to apply that with the data conversion or Derived column component but it in case of the scale of the incoming data exceed 3 the component trim until 3 scale.
i also try to perform it with the flat file data source component but i face a problem that if the data in the column is empty then flat file data source component read the numeric column as Zero
i hope someone help me coz i need to handle it soon.

Hi there --I'm writing a SQL query that works something like this:SELECT a, b, a/b AS col_name FROM TABLEDividing a by b can result in a value above or below 1, e.g. 1.234 or 0.123.If the value is below 1, I don't want the preceding zero, e.g. .123.I've been using a STR() function to format it to three decimal points, e.g.:STR(a/b, 5, 3) AS col_name.... but for values below 1 it'll look like 0.123.Any suggestions for how I can make this look like .123?Thanks in advance.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table named galleryindex which contains rows of photo gallery names along with an associated id (gsid).
example:
gsid (assigned ID), gnumpics (# of photos), gname (gallery name)
=================
43, 133, our summer visit
493, 53, camping photos
When someone uploads more photos I do the following to recalculate the NEW number of photos for the gallery.
SELECT gnumpics FROM galleryindex where gsid= 43
(select current # of photos from location 43 - our summer visit)
in ASP classic I then do this:
sb = objrs("gnumpics")
sb = sb + totupl
SQL = "UPDATE galleryindex SET gnumpics =" & sb & " where gsid= '" & fnum & "'"
to update the gallery with the new amount of photos which is obtained by pulling the old value into SB, and adding "totupl" (total pics uploaded) to it and then updating the values.In SQL speak it would be like this if 20 photos were just uploaded:
SELECT gnumpics FROM galleryindex where gsid= 43
(results in 133 photos)
UPDATE galleryindex SET gnumpics =153 where gsid= 43
(write back 133 + 20)
Basically I'm trying to update the current column gnumpics by a numeric value and I know there's an easier way then pulling the current, adding to it and then writing it back to SQL.
I am trying to run a query that checks a column to see if its numeric. If it is, it should cast as a float, if its not numeric it should return 0.
select case when (isnumeric(Ref)=1) THEN select (cast(Ref,float) )
else (0) as outputfrom #table
but its returning an error.
I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
But I have discovered that the following
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('£')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
Thanks for looking at this.
Hi,
I have a little bit of a problem I cannot seem to figure it out. Is it possible to write a Select statement that contains a WHERE column_name > desired_numeric_value
The tricky part it that the column is of CHAR type and can contain numeric grades ranging from 0-100 or the letter I for Incomplete.
My SQL was working perfect when this column contained only numbers as soon as a record with I was added I get the following error:
Character to numeric conversion error
This report will be used to find students who have failing grades. Thanks for any help!
I would like to determine the largest numeric datatype scale of a column.
Decimal Largest Scale Solution found here.
Sample Data:
2222.0002430
2222.0000245
2222.0023455
We have an address table with a house_num field which is a nvarchar.
Most of house numbers are numbers like 1234, 0989
But some of them have a letter behind it like 678 B, 8909 F, even some like this 123/B
We would like to remove any non-numeric letter for this column.
Is there a way to do it?
Hi guys/ladies I'm still having some trouble formatting a select statement correctly.
I am using a sqldatasource control on an aspx page. It is connecting via odbc string to an Informix database.
Here is my select statement cut down to the most basic elements.
SELECT commentFROM informix.ipr_stucomWHERE (comment > 70)
The column "comment" contains student grades ranging from 0-100 and the letters I, EE, P, F, etc. Therefore the column is of a char type. This is a problem because I cannot run the above statement without hitting an alpha record and getting the following error
"Character to numeric conversion error"
How can I write this statement where it will work in the datasource control and have it only look at numeric values and skip the alpha values?
I have tried case with cast and isnumeric... I don't think that I have the formating correct.
I have also used:
WHERE (NOT (comment = ' I' OR comment = ' EE' OR comment = ' NG' OR comment = ' WP' OR comment = ' WF' OR comment = ' P' OR comment = ' F'))
This works but is very clunky and could possibly break if other letters are input in the future. There has to be a better way.I am sorry for my ignorance and thanks again for your help.
when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric
declare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
The 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
Guys
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are :
@N = 21
@SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000
@SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right
When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error -
SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
Any ideas ??

I have two columns.
policyNumber contains a 12-13 varchar string
AllPolicyNumbersIncluded contains one or more 12-13 varchar strings (policy nums) seperated by commas
I want to check if policyNumber is contained in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded?
I have policyNumber LIKE AllPolicyNumbersIncluded which works when only one policy number is in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded and incidently works switched around AllPolicyNumbersIncluded LIKE policyNumber I assume because they are equal.
Can anyone tell me how to check if one column's value is a substring of another - without going through every possible substring of the second
How can I test to see if a column exists before adding a column to a sql mobile table?
thanks,
Luis
If a Select is done on a column whose data type is nvarchar(16) and contains only numerals (UPC numbers) the select does not return the record.
1. Query with numerals in nvarchar column works as long as multiple records are returned (LIKE '012%')
2. Numeric (INT only one tested) columns works as expected
3. String columns with alpha data works as expected
4. Problem only exist when running in Device Emulator and/or actual device.
5. Same test on desktop app runs as expected.
6. Windows Mobile 6, Vista Ultimate
7. Same results when when connection to device from SSMS
8. SQL Servers comes on
Previous thread discussion of this problem (I thought that Parameters corrected problem, but not in all cases???)

SqlCeConnection _conn = null;

string _sql = "SELECT * FROM Product where RegDescr='0123456' ";
// works correctly
string _sql = "SELECT * FROM PRODUCT where ProdNum = 6523 ";
// works correctly *** as long as multiple records are returned
string _sql = "SELECT * FROM PRODUCT where RegDescr LIKE '01%' ";
// works correctly
string _sql = "SELECT * FROM PRODUCT where RegDescr='BACARDI SILVER RAZZ'";
SqlCeCommand _cmd = _conn.CreateCommand();

I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
My problem is that Line 6 is:
set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'
so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?
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...
In a stored procedure I have I have dates in the format YYYYMMDD with symbols representing the first 3 digits
e.g. °30903 =20030903, and I have to convert them to proper dates, and then eliminate all old data, so I replace symbols and then convert to int
SELECT af.AccomType, af.AccomRef, af.AccomName,af.address1, af.address2, bf1.RoomCode,
Convert(Int,Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(REPLAC E(Replace(MAX(bf1.EndBook),'°','200'),'´','204'),' 99','1999'),'97','1997'),'47',1947),'98','1998')) AS max_date,
...............
WHERE
af.Resort=@strResort
AND
(af.AccomType = 'H' OR af.AccomType = 'O')
AND
max_date>20040721
order by max_date.
Problem is I get an error saying invalid column max_date. It works in the order by clause when I get rid of the
'max_date>20040721 '.
Thanks
I am trying to query multiple columns for a specific value. I have 8 columns (values are either 1 or 0)and I want to query the table to find out which rows contain zero's in ALL of the 8 columns. Whats the best way to do this? I can create a lenghty select statement where column1 =0 and column2 =0 and column3=0 and column4 =0 and column5 =0 .... etc. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this?
Thanks in Advance

I have 5 to six id columns from my excel input.they can be empty in some cases but of the five columns atleaset one column should have some value....All the five columns should not be empty.
How do i check this scenario...
eg:Input column
ID1 ID2 ID3 ID4 ID5
12 NULL NULL 67 78
I should check to see atleast one column should have some value
How can i achieve this???
Please let me know
Can you tell me if this is possible? (and how to do it!!)
The application is VS2005, with sql database.
I want to check if a specific column exists in a specific table in the database and if not then add it, all via my application.
I'm happy knowing how to connect to the database & pass sql commands (as I'm doing that anyway to set off backups), but not the actual queries I'd need.
Well, actually, as in the title. I have a table. The script should add a column if that column doesn't exist already. I use VB to combine the two queries. So what I want:
Query1: Does the column exists:
if No,
query2: create the column
How can I achieve this?
