Hi guys,
From my DTS is like this:
DTSDestination("Tex") = replace(DTSSource("Tex"),Chr(13) & Chr(10), "<br>")
And now I try unsuccesfully this one on a Derived Column task
REPLACE([Tex], Chr(13), " " )
TIA
Hi,
I have a table where this one column(varchar) has rows of data with a period at the end of the string. Is there any function I could use to remove all the periods?
For eg:
bhjio.
shtpl.
should become:
bhjio
shtpl
Thanks

Hi
Is there any function to seperate a sting (VARCHAR) into two based on a character in the string (e.g. '-').
In short is there "InStr" or "split" type function in T-SQL ? If not what is the alternative?
I have a column called "Range" (VarChar) in the table which has ranges like 1-14 or 15-49 etc.
I need to select records by compare a variable (numeric) against these ranges.
So for instace if the variable has 15 its in range 15-49.
I was thinking of spliting the range field into two so that comparison is possible.
Any suggestions?
thanks
I have used a query statement with the following WHERE string to 'Fill' a dataset.
"AND (A.ApptsDate > '" & strApptPreDate & "' OR (A.ApptsDate = '" & strApptPreDate & "' AND A.ApptsTime >= '" & strApptPreTime & "' ))" & _ and strApptPreTime is defined as:Dim strApptPreTime As String = SomaShared.strPadTime(CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Hour) + ":" + CStr(dApptCalcNewDate.Minute))
Somehow, the dataset showed only the ApptsTime after 10 am. After more than 2 weeks of debugging, I still can see a dataset watch for > 10 amAppsTime only. Now I am guessting, the problem is 9 is different from 10 - 16, it all because 9 is single digit. Then I check the data type settings for these variables. Here are what I found:
In SQL Server Agent job, the ApptsTime data was 'inserted' by @NewApptTimes, which is declared as char(5).In SQL Server database, the ApptsTime was defined as nvarchar(15).
My question are: 1. The reason why there were no 9 am data for the dataset, is becasue 9 am of nvarchar(15) is not > 8:30 of strApptPreTime? 2. If the answer to the quation 1 is yes, how do I define AppsTime and/or strApptPreTime?
TIA,Jeffrey

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to return hex data in a way that can be concatenated.
I need the actual hex info (e.g. 0x6E3C070) as displayed
since it contains info about the path to a file.
So I can turn it into D:6E3C 7 to get the path to the file.
In searching around I have come across a way to do this but can't figure out how to get it to run through a column and either display or insert into a table multiple results.
-Here's the user function that converts an integer into a hex string-
CREATE FUNCTION udf_hex_string (@i int)
RETURNS varchar(30) AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @vb varbinary(8)
SET @vb = CONVERT(varbinary(8),@i)
DECLARE @hx varchar(30)
EXEC master..xp_varbintohexstr @vb, @hx OUT
RETURN @hx
END
GO
-Using this table-
create table
XPages
(PageStoreId int null,
HexString varchar (30) null,
VolumePath varchar (60) null, )
--'PageStoreId' contains the data that needs to be converted into the editable hex string
--'HexString' is where I'd like it to go so I can parse it later.
--I can run the below select and get the hex string. But am stuck on how to run a select or update that would run through the 'XPages.PagestoreId'
column and insert the hex string into the 'XPages.Hexstring' column. 'XPages.PagestoreId' could have 100's of entries that need to be converted and placed in the relevant the 'XPages.Hexstring' column.
SELECT dbo.udf_hex_string(1234)

Hi Everyone-
i woder if someone know Built in function to search the occurence of char in string in T-SQL
and iam not talking about the Index of the first occurence (e.g CHARINDEX )
but it is more generic
i want to send to the function to ask about the index the second or the third or N occurence of the char.
and i wonder if it is built in for performance reasons
example
getseachIndex("M|d|d","|",2)==> the result is 4
Hi,
What is the difference updating a null value to char/varchar type column
versus empty string to char/varchar type column?Which is the best to do and why?
Could anyone explain about this?
Example:
Table 1 : tCountry - Name varchar(80) nullable
Table 2 :tState - Name char(2) nullable
Table 3 :tCountryDetails - countryid,state (char(2) nullable) - May the country contain state or no state
So,when the state is not present for the country ,i have two options may be - null,''
tCountryDetails.State = '' or tCountryDetails.State = null?

I am being moved to a group whose applications use SQL server quite extensively (apparently). I have never used SQL server, however I have (at school) taken an SQL course in DB2. I`m interested in seeing if anyone has any recommendations for a good book I could read at an introduction level on SQL server. I`m not sure what version they`re using but I would assume it`s fairly current. Besides, I`m not looking for version-specific information. Can anyone help me out with some references? Thank you in advance.

I am currently reading the Intro to Oracle 9i: SQL course and plan on taking the 1z0-007 exam. I would like to practice with some of the questions in the back of the guide, but don't have the scripts to build the tables.

then execute bellow statements
select * from t1
this query gives you table with out data

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
Does any body know of any performance implications of using 'varchar' data type against 'char'?
I have some columns that are using 'char' data type, but the data in them is not fixed length. So, to gain some disk space I am planning to change the data type to 'varchar'. But, I am concerned if there will be any performance de-gradation or any other implications of doing this.

Hi,
Is that true that using CHAR datatype improves the performance comparing to VARCHAR
thanks
indeed.
Would the char or varchar datatype fieldname accept non-english letters like Japanees, Chinees, Russian..etc.
Or should I use nchar or nvarchar?
Thanks
Why would you want to use char when you have varchar? Is there any performance hit using a varchar and the size you make that varchar?
Debate going at work.

I have recently inherited a database where all of the tables use varchar instead of chars for fields. Very , very few of these fields are involved in keys of even indices, but performance is an issue. I thought that I had read that varchars are worse for performance than chars when page splits may occur. Is this related to updates only, or does it matter?
Any help appreciated.

I have a table which will recieve and interface file to be loaded. All the fields are there except an account_id field which is a char(12), but the data is a number 000000000001, 000000000002, etc. These numbers are to be incremented by one. I understand how to write the process using a cursor to run through all the records and to increment them before loading. My question is the best way to get the max number in the existing table which is the char(12) , and icrement the number by one, but retain the leading zeroes I will need. Anyone had the pleasure of doing this providing input greatly appreciated.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking through some data in a third party application, trying to figure something out for a report. There is a char(1) column holding control characters that apparently effects the status of certain records, and whether they should appear on the report. I want to look at the integer value of those characters rather than the character representation, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting "Error converting data type varchar to numeric." I'm trying to do something like this:
Code:
SELECT CONVERT(int, MyColumn) As IntValue FROM MyTable
I've tried every combination of cast and convert I can think of, as well as numeric data types other than int. There aren't that many distinct values, so I'm just going to do this manually, but I still want to know why it won't work, or what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?
Dear All,
I am new to MS SQL. One VB application that I need to maintain using it.
There is one problem reported but I couldn't explain: one field is declared
as Char (20), but the application seems able to insert a string with length
even 30. There is no character truncatd when retrieved neither.
However, I cannot simulate the case in the MSSQL database manager. When I executed a SQL script to insert, I was simply not allowed to do so.
Any explanation to the sDid anyone encounter same thing before?
Thanks for any hint.

Hi,
This question may sound silly,but please comment.
Please tell me a situation where char should be used and not varchar.
Let us assume that we are dealing with non unicode characters.
Well, I find varchar is always smarter than char, so why char?
Thanks!!

i would like to know if there is an overhead in using VARCHAR when you use to store it...
a colleague of mine claims that if the field is defined to be VARCHAR the system creates and additional column DOUBLE/DECIMAL with storage size of 17/18bytes.
such that if the size of the varchar field is less than 30 it is better to be defined as CHAR instead.
please help me out here... i think there's something wrong with his statement, but i need concrete proof to it... a link to page or pdf file would be very much appreciated.
