Hello
I am importing from a comma delimited text file. A certain string column has values that represent numbers, such as "US$ 20", "30", "40 - 50". I would like to import the number, and if the cell does not contain a string representing a number (example: "I don't know"), a NULL value should be imported instead for that cell.
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
I need to represent two different (number) fields in the same textbox , one number format is C0 (Currency) and other one is Percentage(P1), how can i keep this number format applicable to appropriate fields?
for exaple this is the expression to represent the two fiels in one textbox.
=Fields!Amount01.Value & vbCrLf & Fields!Amount01Percentage.Value
Thanks in advance.
I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip"
or
"tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip"
or
"airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234
123
12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.
In MySQL I can represent a string as the following:
X'6162636465'
However, I can't seem to find an equivalent that is supported MS SQL from the last hour and a half of searching the net. Does anyone know of any way to do this?
Hi!
I need to represent a graph in TSQL.
The graph is directed. It is essentially a number of trees which all have various (non-root) nodes in common with each other.
Any ideas or pointers would be most welcome :)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've just upgraded from Access to SQL 2000 and am having problems with a line of SQL code.
In Access I sorted on a text column of part numbers where a number within the text was the important sort value.
Text was typically "AB 1234 A" "AB 34 B" "AB 73000"
The important sort has to be on the numeric value of the part number.
Access Code that worked was:
ORDER BY Val(MID(Parts.PartNo,4,6))
Seeing both Val() and MID() are not acceptable in SQL 2000 I ended up using
Substr(Parts.PartNo,4,6) but this returns a string sort where 100 appears before 25 etc.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Many thanks

Quick question I hope:
Is there a way to convert a string into a unique number. I have tried using checksum(str) but this appears not to be unique.
For example:
select checksum('KEY AND KEY')
select checksum('COPENBARGER AND COPENBARGER')
both yield -2027749374.
Can someone suggest an alternative function?
Many thanks :)!
Hi
ID=2763&Department=SLA
How do I get number between 'ID=' and '&' from the above string. The digits vary from 2 to 6 digits
Advance Thanks
Hi,
We are building an application with
a database that contains Jobs. These Jobs have properties like Name, Code etc.
and some custom properties, definable by the application admin. For bulk import
of Jobs, we want to allow the import of an Excel sheet with the columns Name,
Code and a variable amount of columns. If the header names of these columns in
the Excel sheet match the name of a custom property in the system we want to add
the value of that cell into the database as property
value.
In our Data Flow of our Import
Package in SSIS we added an Excel Source that points to a test excel sheet with
the Name and Code columns and €“ for this example - 3 custom property columns
(Area, Department, Job Family). When we configure the Excel Source in the Excel
Source Editor, we have the option to select the Columns from the Available
External Columns table. But here lays the problem, we do not know at design
time, what custom property columns to expect. We DO expect the Name and Code
columns, but the rest is uncertain at design-time.
That raises the question: Is there
some way to select all of any incoming columns (something like a SELECT * in
T-SQL)? This looks like a big problem since it would mean that the .DTSX XML that is
being generated at design-time would need to be updated at run-time to reflect
the variability of the columns that might be encountered while reading the excel
sheet.
Then, we thought, we could add a Script
Component to our data flow that passes some kind of DataSet (or DataReader) in
which we can walk through the columns ourselves? But then still, we miss the
option to include ANY of the columns while reading an Excel sheet (or any other
datasource by the looks of it)
We are aware of the option of
optional columns in combination with the RaggedRight option, but it seems that
we would have to put all of the columns of a row in just one column and then
extract all the columns later with Derived Columns. But then, since the source
import file is being prepared by an application admin, we want don€™t want to
burden him with this horrendous task of putting everything in one
column.
We would like to have some way of
iterating through all the columns, either in a Script Component or maybe with a
Pivot/Unpivot mechanism.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there other options we should have considered?
I search the help for T-sql, still don't know how to convert a number, for example 12345 to a string with formating like 12,345
Thanks for your help.
Hi guys,
I have 2 tables:
Unit( unit_id integer, unit_name varchar(20) )
Part( part_id integer, part_name varchar(20) )
Then I have a join table between the two
Unit_Part( unit_id, part_id )
Each unit NAME and part NAME is unique. So what kind of performance would I be losing if I were to do something like:
PROCEDURE addPartToUnit( VARCHAR(20) sPartName, VARCHAR(20) sUnitName )
-- Now in this procedure i'll just get the id's via the names from a select statement
Versus
PROCEDURE addPartToUnit( nPartId INTEGER, nUnitId INTEGER )
-- In this proc, i directly input the primary keys of the table so no lookup is necessary
The reason is that I would like for developers to be able to write code without having to know the id's.
What do you think?
I have a column which keeps numeric data in form of String, but I want to convert it to number e.g. from "1001" to 1001,
Which function I can use to do it?
[URL] .....
I have table (log)as below
ID---Qstring----------------------------------------------ProID
1----ID=25375
2----ID=23382
3----lngSessionId=134513044&pid=25375
52---lngSessionId=133466044&pid=27890
67---tduid=dc79b&url=http://www.mydomain.co.uk/proddetails.asp?id=186
How do I read only the number starts with ID and pid from the above string and insert into column 'ProID' of the same row? It is log table tracking all the visiters to the web site. The number next to IDs and pids are productIDs. So if I manage to get product ID to the column ProId then I can hit against other table to find out which product the customer clicked.
I planned to do the above said by trigger. Please help

Lets say I have a table named Projects with the data below.Y07001Y07002Y07003Y07010Y07011I want to pick up the last 3 numbers and add a one to it so.
Declare @Count as varchar(3)
SELECT Top 1 @Count = Right(Project, 3)+1 FROM Projects Order by ID desc
SELECT @Count
This is what I am using. It picks up the last entry, add a one to it and gives me 12 in return. What i want is 012, not 12
Hi,
In short:
I want my following problem to work with a LIKE instead of exact match and if possible be faster. (currently 4s)
Problem:
I got a set of rows with varchar(50), spread out over multiple tables.
All those tables relate to a central Colour table.
For each of the columns, I want to match the values with a set of strings I insert and then return a set of Colour.Id
E.g: input: 'BLACK', 'MERCEDES', '1984'
Would return colour ids "025864", 45987632", "65489" and "63249"
Because they have a colour name containing 'BLACK' or are on a car from 'MERCEDES' or are used in '1984'.
Current Situation:
I) Create a table containing all possible values
CREATE TABLE dbo.CommonSearch(
id int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
clr_id int,
keyWord varchar(40),
fieldType varchar(25)
And fill it with all the values (671694 rows)
)
II) Stored Procedure to cut a string up into a table:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitString
(
@param varchar(50),
@splitChar char = ''
)
RETURNS
@T TABLE (keyWord varchar(50))
AS
BEGIN
WHILE LEN( @param ) > 0 BEGIN
declare @val varchar(50)
IF CHARINDEX( @splitChar, @param ) > 0
SELECT @val = LEFT( @param, CHARINDEX( @splitChar, @param ) - 1 ) ,
@param = RIGHT( @param, LEN( @param ) - CHARINDEX( @splitChar, @param ) )
ELSE
SELECT @val = @param, @param = SPACE(0)
INSERT INTO @T values (@val)
END
RETURN
END
III)Stored Procedure to query the first table with the second one
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetCommonSearchResultForTabDelimitedStrings]
@keyWords varchar(255) = ''
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
select clr_id, keyWord, fieldType
from dbo.commonSearch
where keyWord in (select * from splitString(@keyWords, ''))
END
So, how can I use a LIKE statement in the IN statement of the last query.
Furthermore, I was wondering if this is the best sollution to go for.
Are there any better methods? Got any tuning tips to squeeze out an extra second?
I've got a string of numbers, say 123456 (the actually number is 12 digitslong). I need to calculate the sum of each individual number in the stringof numbers, so in the example of 123456 the sum would be 21 (1+2+3+4+5+6).Thanks

I am trying to use DTC to import about 500 records from an Excelsheet to an SQL database.
Some fields contain strings with a length of about 1700 characters.
When i'm trying to execute the DTC generated code it is giving an error and saying that the maximum string length of 255 has been reached. Althoug the column in the database is defined as nchar(1750).
Does anybody know an answer to this problem ?
Thanks in advance,

I'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...
I am running a SQL Server 2012 Express.
Due that I dont have SSIS and can not plan tasks. So I have to write a script to do the following:
1. Delete Data in Database1 - Table1 on Server 1, Database1 - Table2 on Server 1,Database1 - Table3 on Server 1
2. Delete Data in Database2 - Table1 on Server 1, Database2 - Table2 on Server 1,Database2 - Table3 on Server 1
3. Connect to Server 2
4.Copy Data from Database1 - Table1 on Server 2 to Database1 - Table1 on Server 1 ... and so on
5.Send me a message @xy.com when a error appears
Then I have to run the batch file every day from monday to friday night.
My main problem is the part with the connection. Iam able to write the connection string but I dont know how to execute the string.

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,

In 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.
I have a query which runs exactly as I want it to. Let's say it returns this in a table:
IDNumber
123
212
312
I want to change (find and replace?) all the number 12s in the 'Number' column for a string. I want to change the 12s to the word: HelloWorld. I don't want to update the table, merely the table that is being returned in the query.
I would like to convert a number into fixed format string. Say for example if I have number 5, I would like to show it as four charactered string:
0005.
In case if I have 33, then I would like to have a result like '0033'. Please let me know the string functions with which I can acheive this.
