How to write the query to get the above table?
I'm sure you all have seen situations where a field has a combined namein the format of "Lastname, Firstname Middlename" and I've seenexamples of parsing that type of field. But what happens when the datawithin this type of field is inconsistent? Here are some examplesApple, John A.Berry John B.CherryJohn CDonald John DHow does one parse the data when the data isn't consistent?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy users wanted to view all the "FIRST and LAST" Lastname in each of the LastName initial in the database.
I have been trying to join/connect/subquery/merge/etc the following two set of codes but without good results.
Fist, i get all the lastname initials:
SELECT DISTINCT LEFT(LastName, 1) AS LastNameInitial
FROM Persons.Persons
ORDER BY LastNameInitial
Results to:
--------------------------------------
A
B
C
D
...
Y
Z
Then, i want to get all the FIRST and LAST LastName for each LastNameInitial
I only have this partial idea (can't get the rest):
--------------------------------------
SELECT MIN(LastName) + ' - ' + MAX(LastName) AS LastNameGroup
FROM Persons.Persons
WHERE (LastName LIKE 'A' + '%')
Only results to:

Hi All!
I have a table, tblstudents that has the fields strfirstname and strlastname. The table was imported from MS Acess where they were storing the first name and the lastname in the same field. Sucks doesn't it? Anyway, I need to write a script to extract the first name from the lastname and insert it into the first name field which is blank. So far I figure I can use select into, but need to find a way to tell sql server to take the fart of the field after the comma (the first name) and to delete the comma becuase I won't need it anymore.
Help!
Select '%,' into tblclients as strfirstname from tblclients
I know this won't work, but I want to show you all I'm at least trying!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build a query on a SQL2000 text field which contains XMLstring. The query is like "select requestnumber from history whererequestnumber is like '%re1%'".

Hi,I been reading various web pages trying to figure out how I can extract some simple information from the XML below, but at present I cannot understand it.
I have a MS SQL 2005 database with which contains a field of type text (external database so field type cannot be changed to XML)The text field in the database is similar to the one below but I have simplified it by remove many of the unneeded tags in the <before> and <after> blocks. I also reformatted it to show the structure (original had no spaces or returns)
For each text field in the SQL table contain the XML I need to know the OldVal and the NewVal.
<ProductMergeAudit> <before> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="OldVal"> </table> </before> <after> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="NewVal"> </table> </after></ProductMergeAudit>
I'm having trouble figuring out how to use a UDT class. I'm simply trying to test out the class in a query window in the management studio. Here's the simple snippet:

Obviously my object has a string property called FirstName. When I execute this simple query I get the following error:

Any ideas?
Hello fellows,
I am trying to write a query, here is the detail:
I have a table of users. Table schema:
FULL NAME, LOGIN
example data:
Anderman John, AndermaJ
Williams Robin, WilliamR
Foot Jay, FootJ
The LOGIN field will be my resulting field after I run my query.
It has a "FULL NAME" column, and a "LOGIN" column. I want to extract the first 7 characters of LAST Name from the FULL NAME field and extract the First Name Initial(just first letter of the first name) from the FULL NAME field and then set the LOGIN field with the resulting combination. The FULL NAME column is in the order of LastName FirstName.
Here is what I have been trying to write:
Declare @spacePos as int
Select @spacePos = charindex(' ', fullname) From TIUSER
Update TIUSER
SEt LOGIN = ltrim(Substring(fullname, 1, 7)) + Substring(fullname,@spacePos+1,1),
where @spacePos <> 0 and LOGIN = ' '
Currently we only have last and first names in our database and we will keep it that way since we don't store middle names and hopefully that will not be an issue.
But it seems that my solution was not working since if the last name is less than 7 characters then it should only grab upto the SPACE and not beyond that , but it was grabbing beyond the SPACE so how do you fix that?
That is I want atmost 7 characters from LAST NAME but incase of less than 7 then upto the space found.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

This script parses the @@VERSION global variable into individual columns.
I developed it because I wanted to be able gather standard info on all versions.
I know there are functions for a lot of this, but only starting with SQL 2000.
It seems to work with all versions of SQL Server from 7.0 through 2005.
I haven't tested with 6.5 and before or 2008, because I don't have either available.
Please report any problems you see.

Actually, i need to trace out changes in my database.[either by insertion/updation/deletion of data or adding/modifiying object.] within my application.
I study SQL Profile. But it is limited for its run and also resource hunger or extra burden on server in case of large size database and busy server.
So please guide me. Also suggest be its appropriate solution.
Thanks.
Can anyone tel lme why this does not parse in 2000 but works fine in 2005?
ALTER TABLE Segments ADD CONSTRAINT
PK_Segments PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
SegmentsUniqueID
) WITH( STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON,
ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
thanks
This is the type of data I have within my table and I need to take it from this to the example below
Types First Name Last Name
--------- ---------------- ----------------
6L4XX,6L5XX,6L8XX,6L9XX Bob Smith
6L4XX,6L5XX,6L8XX,6L9XX Dave Johnson
Types First Name Last Name
--------- ---------------- ---------------
6L4XX Bob Smith
6L5XX Bob Smith
6L8XX Bob Smith
6L9XX Bob Smith
6L4XX Dave Johnson
6L5XX Dave Johnson
6L8XX Dave Johnson
6L9XX Dave Johnson
I have to do this for MANY rows but I don't want to use a cursor. Should I be using Dynamic SQL? If so how should I go about starting out.
Thank You
I have 2 data flows tasks, salesperson and customer, where I want to concatenate name and Lastname into Name, using a Derived Column...
[name] + " " + Lastname
In the first one, Destination Preview show NULL on every Name row. In the other the names are joined as "DanWinter". Why don't the concatenate according to expression?
i am executing an sql statement in sql server 2005 express edition. It says it is unable to parse the query then automatically re-arranges the sql text and then it is able to parse it and return me the result. my query is this: What am I doing wrong?
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT MemberID, HotelID FROM tblHotels_Reviews WHERE MemberID = 3 AND HotelID = 3) BEGIN INSERT INTO tblHotels_Reviews(MemberID, HotelID, ReviewTitle, StayMonth, StayYear, Satisfaction, PricePerNight, ValueForMoney, CheckIn, FoodDining, BusinessFacilities, SafetySecurity, Rooms, StaffService, HotelFacilities, CheckOut, SuitableFor, Atmosphere, DoYouRecommend, Review, Anonymous, HasPhotos, ReviewDate, ReviewLanguage, PublishStatus)VALUES (6, 3, 'hello', 'January', 2002, 5, 234, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 'Singles,Couples', 0, 1, 'helloo', 0, 0, '06/04/2006', 'EN', 0) SELECT 1 AS RESULT END ELSE BEGIN SELECT 0 AS RESULT END
I create a Execute SQL Task and Load a stored procedure into the "SQL Statement" box. This stored procedure has many 'go' words and many commented lines either with '--' mark or '/*' or '*/' mark.
When Parse Query, get Package Error "Deferred prepare could not be completed. Statements could not be prepared".
But I could run the same proc under the isql/w with no problem.
How could I deal with this error? Though it looks the execution of the package still run successful. The Parsing just create uncertainty.
thanks

Has anyone tried to parse a column containing sql syntax to obtain the actual column names used in the syntax field. So if the field had acctno =1001 then it would return acctno.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using MSSQL v8 (if that matters)
The data looks like the following
---------------------------
| PBP 20070420 2:26pm |
---------------------------
Now the data in this field is not uniform it can be blank, a sentence or have a different pre fix, instead of PBP, but the date will be YYYYMMDD when it is supplied.
I need to find all the dates that are within the last 10 months. How do I perform this task?
I am getting a pain in the butt error in DTS.
If I use and Execute SQL Task like this ...
------------------------------------
DECLARE @VAR
SET @VAR = ?
EXEC sp_Test @VAR
------------------------------------
and then click parse query I get an error "Syntax error or Access violation"
However; if I use it this way
------------------------------------
EXEC sp_Test ?
------------------------------------
it works.
Now here is the odd thing. If I put in a DECLARE statement and a global parameter "?" I get the syntax error.
But .... If I use a disconnected edit and use DECLARE and "?" then task will run properly. So the problem seems to be with the query parser.
The problem is I don't have the time to edit everything in a disconnected manner. Is there a way or update that will allow me to use DECLARE and "?". I have tried many hotfixes but none have worked.
This package will do very simple thing. It will parse the file and load it into table.
The format the file will be with fixed position:
From position 1 to 18, I need trim all the ending space and map it to a field of base table.
1. This is what I have done in the sql 2000 DTS package. How do I do the twist of data mapping on the SSIS?
I was using Active-x script in the 2000 DTS package.
EmployeeNumber = Trim(DTSSource(1))
EmployeeNumber = Left(EmployeeNumber, Len(EmployeeNumber) - 1)
2. At the Contrl Flow tab, I only have "Data Flow Task". I don't see the place I can do expression.
Thanks.
