White Spaces In Data Fields
Jan 31, 2006Hi,
Whenever I insert a record into my table it adds trailing white spaces up to the amount of char's that the field is set to allow. Obviously I don't want it to do this.
Among other problems then when I get the data back out it has a ton of white spaces, which normally wouldn't be a problem. i could just use the .Trim() function, but for some reason when I bind the data to a drop down list and use the .Trim() function it doesn't trim the white spaces.
Anyways any ideas on how to make it so the white spaces don't get put in in the first place?? Or any other thoughts on this?? Thanks!
Trim Trailing White Spaces
Nov 14, 2006Hi All,
I have a column which has some white spaces that I suspect is tab delimeted one. So when I use a rtrim(col1) it would not trim those. So i used a scrip component and wrote this line,
Row.trimDetail = RTrim(Row.detail)
here trimdetail is an o/p column and detail is the input col with the trailing spaces.
but still I don know why the column has that spaces. Can someone help me to figure out what is the problem ?
Thanks in advance,

Sep 15, 2005I have a table . It has a nullable column called AccountNumber, whichis of varchar type. The AccountNumber is alpha-numeric. I want to takedata from this table and process it for my application. Before doingthat I would like to filter out duplicate AccountNumbers. I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here? Can somebody help me in making sure Ifilter out all duplicate entries ?Thanks,Rad

My problem is I have data with leading and or trailing white spaces and I need to show it as is. In designer preview it shows correct values. As soon as report is published and accessed on web, it truncates the whitespaces . I had a look at source, it shows values are correctly fetched(with spaces) but are ignored while rendering.

SQL Server 2008 :: White Spaces Not Getting Ignored For Plan Guide Matching?
May 1, 2015In sp_create_plan_guide documentation, it's written:
When SQL Server matches the value of statement_text to batch_text and @parameter_name data_type [,...n ], or if @type = 'OBJECT', to the text of the corresponding query inside object_name, the following string elements are not considered:
White space characters (tabs, spaces, carriage returns, or line feeds) inside the string.
Comments (-- or /* */).
Trailing semicolons
On SQL Server 2008 SP3, I created a plan guide for a query. Now, if I execute the query exactly how it was defined in the plan guide, SQL Server match it and use the plan guide to optimize the query.
However, if I add just a space between a column name and an operator in the WHERE clause, the plan guide is ignored. How come it doesn't ignore the extra space, like mentioned in the documentation?
Removing Spaces Between Words In Sql
Mar 20, 2007I guess there is no built in functions to do this but I have a function that replaces anything that is not A-Z with a space and returns @data. What I additionally need the function to do is scrunch up @data (remove all blanks betwwen each word so that 'I ran very fast' would be 'Iranveryfast').
What I need help in doing is the "Scrunch" part. Is there a way I could move the @Data to something like @DataHold and inspect each character, if it is not a blank, move that character back to @Data?
This was pretty easy for me to do in C# with a while loop, but I do not know how to get it done in SQL Server 2005.
Thanks for any help!
Reporting Services :: Exporting To Word And PDF - White Spaces Left Out Between Grouped Items
Aug 7, 2015I have a report which shows up as below,
Product Type - A
Product Name - 1
Product Price - 1
Product Name - 2
Product Price - 2
Product Type - B
Product Name - 1.1
Product Price - 1.1
Product Name - 2.1
Product Price - 2.1
Product Name - 3.1
Product Price - 3.1
Similarly i have different Product types and product names and its prices underneath each product type. As you can see, there might be varied number of products under the product type so i am grouping it on Product type. The issue is when i export the report to pdf or word, when ever we have a big group of Product Type( example: Product Type X and it has 10 different Products under it) along with few other smaller groups, the big group tends to jump on to the next page of word or pdf and leaves a big empty space in the previous page. Any way i can break those big groups and fit as many as we can on the page and the rest should follow onto the next page rather than leaving the previous page with blank space.
Remove Certain Words From ORDER BY Clause
May 22, 2008Hi,I'm trying to remove certain words from my Order clause. For example on iTunes they have removed the word 'The' from the start of artist names so that all the bands that start with 'The' don't appear grouped together. I'm trying to do a similar thing with University names so that all universities which begin with 'University of' or 'The' don't appear together.Is this possible?Thanks for your help!,Curt.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow To Remove Blank Spaces In Records??
Jun 23, 2005We imported approximately 2.9 million records from our mainframe server
into our SQL Server but have run into a problem. The data in a
few of the fields contains both leading and trailing spaces. An
example of the data would be like this, using periods to represent
spaces:
What we have:
..1A02938.....
What we need:
1A02938 (no spaces)
Is there some sort of algorithm I can run on the data to remove
those spaces? The problem is coming up when trying to perform a
SELECT query. We try something like:
SELECT * FROM PCPIPT0 WHERE PANO20 = "1A02938" but we get zero
results because of the spaces in the database. The datatype of
the filed is char(20) because we need some flexibility on the size of
the data stored.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Remove Alpha Chars && All Spaces In Field [UPDATED]
Apr 5, 2007Hello,
I need to strip out all alpha chars and spaces in a given field and return only the numbers.
I've tried =CInt(Fields!Info.Value) and get an unexplained error. If the data was formatted consitantly I could simply do a RTrim or Right, but the number strings are not the same, some have spaces as in phone numbers (1 800 555 1212) or don't have a leading 1. Most instances are correct for my purpose (8005551212).
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Using the Replace function =Replace(Fields!Info.Value, " ","") gets me almost there. Now I should be able to use a Right, 10 function to return my desired value. Is it possible to combine these two funtions together?

SQL White Space! HELP!
Oct 4, 2006Ok, here is the problem.
Client created a database with Allocated Space of 5GB. THEY WILL ONLY EVER HOLD A MAXIMUM OF 1GB IN DATA!!! Don't ask.
In any case, they currently have a database filled with 600MB of Data and 4.4GB of White Space. From what I can see, the database is backing up that entire database nightly, based on 5GB of allocated space. It doesnt care that only 600MB is being used, it only knows that someone put aside 5GB and its gonna darn well back it up.
I need to get rid of that space. Their Backups are taking hours on end and Batch Files are timing out. Quite honestly, they dont need to back up 4.5GB of white space.
QUESTION:
How can I eliminate that white space? I have tried to run several SQL scripts to Truncate the DB and eliminate unused space, unfortunately it is not working.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Matt.
White Space In A Field

Jan 10, 2007Dear Forum Members,
We've been working on a white paper targeting SSIS connectivity which we hope will help answer some of the key questions in the following areas :
What are the SSIS components and their support level for ADO.NET, ODBC, and OleDB?
How to deal with 64-bit connectors? what is supported, what is not?
Special sections on popular data sources such as SAP, Oracle, DB2, Flat File, XML.
A comprehensive list of data sources and available connectors from Microsoft and other 3rd parties.
You'll also find answers to why some of the things are the way they are today.
Note that this white paper is currently under official editing and publishing in Microsoft. It'll be a while before it goes public officially, but I wanted to share it with you, as the rich content it offers can't really wait. You'll find the paper in my blog, which is really a wiki site about SSIS connectivity fully open to public, so feel free to add/update content in there as you feel proper, and help the SSIS community with your wisdom!
A lot of feedback went into this white paper not only from Microsoft, but also from some of our partners and MVPs. I'd like to extend special thanks to Bob Beauschemin for authoring this challenging white paper.

Function Like Len() That Counts White Space
Aug 10, 2007Good day to you, community friend!
Just a quick one - I swear I've seen a function before that was like Len() but it counted the white spaces too. I have a feeling it was something along the lines of "data_length" but I can't for the life of me find it!
Many thanks,
George
