Random String
Apr 15, 2002I used this to generate a random password. You can change what it returns to up to an 8000 character password if you feel brave. You will need this function (http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14924) to generate the random numbers. For some reason, occassionaly a NULL (CHAR(0)) character would get in there and mess things up so I had to remove those. You could change this to even include the non alpha numeric characters.
create procedure random_password
@length smallint,
@password nvarchar(256) = null output
as
set nocount on
declare @number int
declare @lower int
declare @upper int
declare @part tinyint
if @length > 256 set @length = 256
set @password = ''
while len(@password) < @length
begin
exec random_number 0, 3, @part output
if @part = 0
select @lower = ascii('a'),
@upper = ascii('z')
else if @part = 1
select @lower = ascii('A'),
@upper = ascii('Z')
else if @part = 2
select @lower = ascii('0'),
@upper = ascii('9')
set @part = null
set @number = null
exec random_number @lower, @upper, @number output
set @password = @password + ltrim(char(@number))
if substring(@password, len(@password), 1) = char(0) set @password = left(@password, len(@password) - 1)
end

Word Search In String
Feb 25, 2008
Hi All,
Please help, it is urgent
I am having a colume as image datatype, in which candidates resume is stored in binary format.
I have to search for particular words for eg. "ASP.Net, 2 Years" into that column
I have converted that column as varchar and then searching above two words(after spliting them by comma) into that string using CHARINDEX
DECLARE @i int, @j int
SET @i = select MIN(ResumeId) from table_name
SET @j = select MAX(ResumeId) from table_name
WHILE (@i <= @j)
BEGIN
DECLARE @Resume varchar(max)
SET @Resume = CAST((select Resume from table_name where ResumeId=100) as varbinary(max))
--code to search the particular word from @Resume
END
It is working fine, but it is very slow, taking 2+ minutes to scan 15000 records
How can I make it faster or is there any other way to search?
Thanks in advance

Aug 22, 2007Hi,
I have 2 questions.
1. I have a table with a column for region names. Region Names are in 2 formats basically - "NAME-BU*RM" OR "NAME*RM".
I want to extract just "Name" from this string.
The length of "Name" varies and I want to extract all characters included for "Name".
Can anyone advise what the query/SQL statement would look like?
2. I wrote a VB code to generate a xls file. Users are able to run it fine but if they have another file with same name already open, then it just crashes excel.
So I want to include a code that checks if file "file.xls" is open on user's machine.
If file is open, then message "file "File.xls" is already open. Generating File_1.xls"
Run the code but create the file with file name "file_1.xls"
If file doesn't exist, then run code and create file with file name "File.xls"
Please advise.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2008 :: How To Extract Part Of A String
May 11, 2015Here is a sample order # we used for one of our shipments: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
I need to extract the "24954" portion of that order # while within an INNER JOIN, but not sure how.
My problem is we have 2 order tables: OrderTable1 contains a field with the full order #. OrderTable2 contains a field with only the "24954" portion. I need to JOIN on these 2 fields somehow.
So an example would be the following:
OrderTable1.Full_Order_No: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
OrderTable2.Order_No: 24954
SELECT
ot1.Full_Order_No
, ot2.Order_No
FROM
OrderTable1 ot1
INNER JOIN OrderTable2 ot2 ON ot2.Order_No = [do something here to truncate ot1.Full_Order_No]
How can I do this?
Few notes:
-the 1st part of the order number, "BL-53151-" will ALWAYS be the same. It's our client # which will never change for the purpose of this query.
-The portion I need (24954) can be more or less than the 5 current digits.
-There will always be 6 portions to the order number, split up between 5 dashes.

Transact SQL :: Find Exact Word In String Within Case Statement
Aug 6, 2015I am required to find or check that a specific word exists in string or not.
Suppose I have to find the word 'st' than I need the result true if and only if the following occurrences are there.
1. 'St is valid;' -> true
2. 'DOB is valid;ST is invalid;' -> true
3. 'DOB is valid; ST is invalid;' -> true
4. 'DOB is valid;invalid ST;' -> true
5. 'DOB is valid; invalid ST;' -> true
6. 'DOB is valid; invalid STate;' -> false
Means the exact ST should be search. It is not free text search.
T-SQL is needed to be used in select statement with case using PATINDEX, RegEx or any suitable t-sql command.

Transact SQL :: String Function To Extract Matching Rows

5 1,2,3,4,5,CAN
6 10
7 CAN
8 1,CAN

So, say, check if ProductID has a comma ',' value plus the 'CAN' string. If yes, then return that row. If I use the LIKE operator, it'll return rows 1,5,7, and 8.

Extract Specific Words From A Free Format String
Feb 27, 2008I am required to send an XML file of our clients to head office in Belgium for comparison against a database of known undesirables. The data is in a legacy system with a custom database so I have created an SSIS package that extracts the tables I need into SQL Server and have developed a program that reads from a text source and creates the XML then Secure FTPs it to Hong Kong who will handle it from there.
My problem lies in actually extracting enough data to avoid too many false positives. The scanning will check name, identity (passport number, etc.), town/city and country. We don't hold an identity number and the town/city and country are buried in free format fields. A quick analysis of the 419,000 records shows that the spelling is terribly unreliable, too. In most cases country has not been entered because the clients are local and even when they are overseas, sometimes only the city has been entered. That is often misspelt, too e.g. Kuala Lumpar or Melboure.
The addresses are held in 3 equal length fields called Address_1, Address_2 and Address_3. There's no guarantee that I will find the town/city or country in any particular one of these fields. In some cases, the street number and name are in Address_3 because the first two hold a company name and a C/O line.
So I'm not going to fret over the ones where the address information is nonsense or missing but I would like to try and extract valid country names and town/city names, where present and this is where I get stuck. I'm from a COBOL programming background and although I'm loving getting used to the power of SQL, I'm still a bit stumped when I come across a problem like this probably because I keep thinking of the solution in procedural terms.
I have a feeling that the solution will be to create two separate reference tables, one of towns/cities and the other of countries. I would then somehow search the 3 fields looking for those keywords and if found, entering them in the appropriate part of the output text file to represent town/city and/or country. I did also think about destringing to find the separate words but that doesn't help where the name consists of two words such as NEW ZEALAND.
I would love to hear from anyone who has dealt with a similar problem and has a neat solution to this using SQL.

Reporting Services :: How To Extract Only Numeric Values From A String In SSRS
May 29, 2015I have a report which is redirecting to a subreport. The main report is having multi value parameter. I need to pass these multi values to sub report. Passing parameters from MDX report to T-sql report. So, I'm using the below exp.
=SPLIT(REPLACE(TRIM(Join(Parameters!Grade.Label,",")),", ",","),",")
The value will look like this
01-Manger
02-Senior Mange
21-Associate
25-Associate Trainee
This is working for me in all the cases except one. In all other cases, the parameter's Label and Value field has same data in the sub report. But, in a specific parameter I'm getting Label and Value data are different. I'm getting an alpha numeric string value from MDX report , but I need to pass only the numeric values to the sub report since its value field contains only numeric value. The numeric value is coming at the starting of the string data. So I have used Mid()
=SPLIT(Mid(REPLACE(TRIM(Join(Parameters!Grade.Label,",")),",
",","),1,2),",")
Result will be 01
But, mid() will give only the first value. It is working for single value. But I need to extract multiple values.
