Extract Data From Middle Of String In SQL Server
Jan 11, 2008I am trying to write a query in sql query analyzer that will extract a date that appears after the first comma in the string. An example of the data is below:
DAVE,12/31/03,17:18,PERIODENDP

Finding Position Of Character Within A String
Aug 25, 2000Hi,
I've got a situation where a table column is composed of decimal numbersthat have to be converted to whole numbers. I want to use CEILING and FLOOR functions to round them up or down, but how do I extract the part after the decimal point to evaluate which operation to apply? I don't think there is a function in sql server that looks for a position of a character within a string. I tried INSTR (the vb function) and that gave me an error msg.
Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Removing Consecutive Characters From Middle Of A String
Apr 14, 2015I usually do this through Access so I'm not too familiar with the string functions in SQL. My question is, how do you remove characters from the middle of a string?
Ex:
String value is 10 characters long.
The string value is X000001250.
The end result should look like, X1250.
I've tried mixing/matching multiple string functions with no success. The only solution I have come up with removes ALL of the zeros, including the tailing zero. The goal is to only remove the consecutive zeroes in the middle of the string.

Finding The Character Position Of Nth Occurence In A String.
Jun 15, 2001Hi Friends:
I usually run this query in Oracle to find out the position of a character in a string from first position to the nth occurence.
For example, I run the following queries in oracle to get the desire result.
SQL> select instr('DADADAQQQA','A',1,1) FROM DUAL;
INSTR('DADADAQQQA','A',1,1) -- First occurence of 'A' from start.
---------------------------
2
SQL> select instr('DADADAQQQA','A',1,2) FROM DUAL;
INSTR('DADADAQQQA','A',1,2) -- Second occurence of 'A' from start.
---------------------------
4
SQL> select instr('DADADAQQQA','A',1,3) FROM DUAL;
INSTR('DADADAQQQA','A',1,3) -- Third occurence of 'A' from start.
---------------------------
6
SQL> select instr('DADADAQQQA','A',1,4) FROM DUAL;
INSTR('DADADAQQQA','A',1,4) -- Forth occurence of 'A' from start.
---------------------------

Can Import TXT File By String Start / End Position
May 23, 2012I'm trying to import a large .txt file into SQL but a regular bulk insert will not do as there are no delimiters. Each line contains roughly 1080 bytes of data that are scrunched together. (1 byte - represents one character) The only thing I know for sure is the start and end position for each column entry which is fixed-format. For example:
col1 (1,3)
col2 (4,6)
col3 (7,7)
col4 (8,30)
col5 (31,39)
...
colN (1050, 1080)
This occurs for X,XXX,XXX rows. So for each row, I want to pull in the column info based on the string position of the data.
How can I do this in SQL? All I have found so far is bulk insert entry...
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Start Position Of Number Value In A String
May 2, 2014In t-sql 2008 r2, I would like to know how to select a specific string in a varchar(50) field. The field in question is called 'CalendarId'.
This field can contain values like:
xxIN187 13-14 W Elem
HS321 13-14 D Elem
IN636 13-14 C Elem
030 13-14 clark middle.
What I am looking for is the first position that contains a number value for the length of 3. Thus what I want are values that look like the following: 030, 636, 187.What I know that I want is substring(CalendarId,?,3).The question mark is where I want the starting location of a number value (0 to 9) of the value in CalendarId . I tried pathindex but my syntax did not work.

SQL Server 2008 :: Not Finding A Record With A Space In The Middle Of String
May 19, 2015Ok following scenario
create table dbo.ADAssets
(Computername nvarchar(max))
insert into dbo.ADAssets
values
('AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d',
'AIRLBEOF3565')
So if execute the following
select Computername
from dbo.ADAssets
where Computername like
'AIRLBEOF3565%'
I get both records,but if I do this
select *
from dbo.ADAssets
where Computername in
(
'AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d',
'AIRLBEOF3565'
)
I only get AIRLBEOF3565
So the big picture is that I need to compare 2 tables to find records that match & don't but that I get matches that shouldn't be & matches that aren't.
Average Of Middle 90%
Sep 21, 2007Hello all!This might be a newbie question, and there might be something Im just not thinking of right now, but I have a set of values that I need to get the average of but only from the middle 90%. Example:11 <-From here1234456 <- To here.7I thought I could solve it by subqueries and do the following:Select (((Select sum top 5 order asc) + (Select sum top 5 order desc)) - sum total)/rows*0.9 which would give me what I want, but I realised that when aggregating I cant order the subqueries.This is for an application (that will run the query on a sql-server) that only takes one query (although subqueries should be fine), and thats why I have a problem, I cant build any views or things like that.I guess my question is very simple: How can I get a sum of the bottom 5 percent without sorting descending?

Returning Middle Records
Dec 7, 2006I'm writing a page that will return data from my database to the user based on their search paramaters, over several pages with 20 matching records showing per page, and a next button on the bottom. Similar to the format of any search engine.
However, I'd like to write this into the query, and I'm not sure how I would go about doing so. For example:
"SELECT TOP 20 to 40 * FROM Northwind"
Hopefully this makes sense. Is there any way of doing this?

Only Put A Period . If There Is A Middle Intial.
Dec 29, 2003I am trying to concatenate three fields into one in a View. I have the following data:
Last Name
First Name
Middle Initial (can be null)
I need my resultant field data to look like the following:
"Doe, John P."
I'm having a problem writing SQL that is sensitive to placing the period after the middle initial only if there is a middle initial present. If there isn't a middle initial, I just want the following: "Doe, John".
I have tried the following CASE statement:
CASE WHEN middleInitial IS NOT NULL THEN ' ' + middleInitial + '.' ELSE '' END
However, I get an error indicating that the CASE statement is not supported in the Query Designer.
How can I resolve this problem in a View? Is there a function similar to ISNULL(middleInitial, '') that would allow for the "."?

Middle Search Support
Oct 26, 2006Some of the databases that I inherited contain search that are based on finding a string anywhere within a last name such as:
WHERE lastName like '%smith%'
It is desired that each of these names be returned:
Smith
Smithson
Nesmith
What is presently done is that updates to the last name fields trigger that substrings of the last name be sent off into a substring table wtih retention of no 2-char substrings. For these three last names the following would be kept:
(1) Smith, (2) mith, (3) ith and (4) th
(1) Smithson, (2) mithson, (3) ithson, ..., (n) on
(1) Nesmith, (2) esmith, (3) smith, ... (n) th
The where now becomes
WHERE lastNameSub like 'smith%'
This seems to make the search routine by last name faster. I would like to improve on this if I can. Suggestions?

How To Get The Position Of A Value?

15 | mark | AA
20 | john | AA
5 | mike | BB
8 | thomas | JK
2 | mike | MM
as you can see, I can have registries with the same name and with the same alias, there's no restriction
and I'm trying to find out how many registries there are before the second "mike", wich would be 3.. so it's the 4th element, get it?
I have no idea how to...

Function Returning Middle Values

When the function is called, obviously a number is entered such as 3 and the top 3 and bottom 3 scores are not returned.
