Hi,
for some reason, i had to write a function to count the number of words in a particular column in a table. (pl find the attachment). i would like to know whether there is any other mechanism with which we can count the number of words in a particular column.
for example, if the column data is,'This Is A Test', the function, will return 4.
pl suggest any other efficient strategies to accomplish this
thanks
I have a column that has multiple word delimited by a space or comma such as:
crime horror love
I want to perform a query so that a search for one of these words returns the record. THis is what I have so far:
SELECT columnname
FROM tablename
WHERE columnname LIKE 'strSearchVar'
This only returns records with one word in the column that matches. it ignores columns with multiple words.
thanks!

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I'm trying to recreate a MS-SQL database in MySQL. One particular table has a column names "Precision", a reserved word in MySQL. I woudl really prefer to keep this name if possible as it will be referenced in all sorts of places. I've tried single and double quotes, that didn't work.
Is it possible to use reserveds word as column names? How?
cheers
Here we go,
I have a great question for all of you.
What is the problem in using reserved words in table columns name? Any one have a compeling reason not to use?
Here is an exemple:
/ ******** Table ********/
Entity
EntityId
Name
When you query this table you should use the [ ] like this:
SELECT EntityId,[Name] FROM Entity
Anyone have any objection to this, with actual facts?
The question why use this?
This about the programing object in C#
Entity oneEntity = new Entity();
oneEntity.Name = "Test Entity";
It could be:
oneEntity.EntityName = "Test Entity";
Any one???
Hi all,
I have following problem:
I'm developing a Windows Mobile application, which is using RDA Pull for retrieving data from SQL Server 2005 database to PDA. Please, see the example:
Code Snippet
using (SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine(connStr))
{
engine.CreateDatabase();
}
serverConnStr="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=Demo;Password=xxx";
using (SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess(
Configuration.Default.SyncServerAddress, "", "", connStr))
{
rda.Pull("MyTable", "SELECT * FROM mytable", serverConnStr, RdaTrackOption.TrackingOffWithIndexes, "ErrorTable");
}
Everythink works fine, when I use 'sa' user account in serverConnStr.
But, when I change conn string to:
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;User ID=test;Initial Catalog=Demo;Password=test"
the sqlcesa30.dll cannot connect to SQL Server database.
In the sqlcesa30.log then I found following line:
Code Snippet
2007/04/17 10:43:31 Thread=1EE30 RSCB=16 Command=PULL Hr=80040E4D Login failed for user 'test'. 18456
The user 'test' is member of db_owner, db_datareader and public roles for the Demo database and in SQL Server Management Studio I'm able to login to the Demo database with using the 'test' users credentials and I'm able to run the select command on 'mytable'.
So, what's wrong? Why the sqlcesa30.dll process cannot login to the Demo database, and from another application with using the SAME connection string it works?
Please help.
Thank you.

I'm working on a social network where I store my friend GUIDs in a table with the following structure:user1_guid user2_guidI am trying to write a query to return a single list of all a users' friends in a single column. Depending on who initiates the friendship, a users' guid value can be in either of the two columns. Here is the crazy sql I have come up with to give what I want, but I'm sure there's a better way... Any ideas?SELECT DISTINCT UserIdFROM espace_ProfilePropertyWHERE (UserId IN
(SELECT CAST(REPLACE(CAST(user1_guid AS VarChar(36)) + CAST(user2_guid AS VarChar(36)), @userGuid, '') AS uniqueidentifier) AS UserId FROM espace_UserConnection WHERE (user1_guid = @userGuid) OR
(user2_guid = @userGuid))) AND (UserId IN
(SELECT UserId FROM espace_ProfileProperty))
I'm starting to use SQL 2008 recently, and I'm just having trouble with the following problem:
The following query:
SELECT t_Category.Name as [Category]
FROM t_Assets, t_Category, t_Priority, t_Location, t_User_Assets
WHERE t_Assets.Asset_ID = t_User_Assets.Asset_ID
AND t_Category.Category_ID = t_User_Assets.Category_ID
AND t_Priority.Priority_ID = t_User_Assets.Priority_ID
AND t_Location.Location_ID = t_User_Assets.Location_ID
Returns this result:
Category
BMS
BMS
Water
BMS
BMS
Air
And the following query:
SELECT COUNT(t_Category.Category_ID) AS AssetQty
FROM t_Assets, t_Category, t_Priority, t_Location, t_User_Assets
WHERE t_Assets.Asset_ID = t_User_Assets.Asset_ID
AND t_Category.Category_ID = t_User_Assets.Category_ID
AND t_Priority.Priority_ID = t_User_Assets.Priority_ID
AND t_Location.Location_ID = t_User_Assets.Location_ID
GROUP BY t_Category.Category_ID
Returns this result:
AssetQty
4
1
1
I need to have both of those results returned, as a single result. Such as:
Category AssetQty
BMS 4
WATER 1
AIR 1
However, I'm not able to, due to the fact, that if I add the "t_Category.Category.Name" in the SELECT clause, it gives me the following error:
Column 't_Category.Name' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
And if I try to use the "Name" as part of the count clause, it won't work, as text are not acceptable data types for aggregations.

I support the recommended revisions.
When I open the datafile, it spans 6 separate lines - probably ending in carriage returns (not sure how to confirm this). Hence, I am having a problem importing it to my table. When I query the database, it appears as one line under that column - which is the way it should be.
My BCP command is something like this:
BCP "select email_msg, email_id from emails" QUERYOUT "c:email.txt" -c -T -S sunny.erwin.com
I experimented with -w, -n, -N already but still am failing to get the proper output.
Please help... Thanks in advance.

I want to line up across the top of a cross tab Jan-12 Feb-12 ... July-13 Aug-13 up to and including the latest month in the db. What's the best way to achieve this?
I currently create crosstabs with case statements as follows:
select
sum(case month(date) when 1 then value) as Jan,
sum(case month(date) when 2 then value) as Feb
from db
I figured you could create some sort of while loop for the case statements but I can't get the syntax right.
Or another strategy would be to use the Pivot method and build [Jan], [Feb], [Mar] etc through a loop?
I don't know if this is possible, but I haven't been able to find anyinformation.I have two tables, for example:Table 1 (two columns, id and foo)id foo--- -----1 foo_a2 foo_b3 foo_cTable 2 (two columns, t1_id, and bar)t1_id bar------ ----1 bar_a1 bar_b1 bar_c2 bar_d3 bar_e3 bar_fWhat I'm shooting for is returning the result of a subquery as atext-delimited column. In this example, using a comma as thedelimiter:Recordset Returned:foo bars----- -----foo_a bar_a,bar_b,bar_cfoo_b bar_dfoo_c bar_e,bar_fI know that it's usually pretty trivial within the code that isquerying the database, but I'm wondering if the database itself can dothis.Is this possible, and if so, can someone please point me to how it canbe done?

Hi, friend,
l've 2 variables A & B from source database which i used to calculate C with the following formula, i.e.
C = 100 * A/B
In case of B = 0 (DIV BY ZERO), C should be equal to -9999.
l've set the datatype for A & B are INT, C is FLOAT at targetting database.
So l used to derived column to calculate C as,
B == 0 ? -9999 : 100 * A/B
After l run the package, l realize that all my C is INTEGER rather than FLOAT.....it seems that SQL server has evaluate the wrong datatype for me....anyway to overcome this?
