Can I use a newline character in my query? I want to dynamically generate a statement, split on several lines. Simple example:
declare @cmd varchar(100)
select @cmd = 'select user_name(), getdate()'
select @cmd
The output will be: select user_name(), getdate()
Can I use something like this:
declare @cmd varchar(100)
select @cmd = 'select user_name(), getdate()'
select @cmd
so as to get an output like this:
select user_name(),
getdate()
Thanks.

i have a field with 2 characters(many of them ) and spaced inbetween them
which are codes for something
ie XA OX YY BY CY DY XC XD OE In any or all combination
i want to make a count of rows which contains BOTH XA
BUT DOES NOT CONTAIN any one or all of XC,XD & OE
SO I write the query
select count(colname)
from tablename
where colname LIKE ('%XA%')
AND colname NOT LIKE ('%XC%')
OR colname NOT LIKE ('%XD%')
OR colname NOT LIKE ('%OE%')
')
iS this correct
why then it does not exclude the XC,XD,OE
is there a better way ?
I have a huge database (20 columns and 56000 lines) and I need a query that can return each single unique character from all this database.
For example if character "a" appears at least one time in this database I need this query to show it to me.
Hi !
i have a query like select top 3 column1 from table 1 order by Id desc
here the column1 is of varchar(512) data type but i want to get only first 250 chars of it and if they are less than 250 then get the whole range
plz let me know how it is possible throguh query or any other way
Regards,
I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last
I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.
I am getting a tab character at the end of my query fields, been trying various things to fix, such as using the replace function below but still i get the tabs!
select CAST(REPLACE(NAMEALIAS,CHAR(9),'')AS CHAR(40)) + ',' as PRODNAME,
CAST(REPLACE(ISNULL(GLOBALTRADEITEMNUMBER,0),CHAR(9),'')AS CHAR(18))as EANNO,LTRIM(cast(ISNULL(GLOBALTRADEITEMNUMBER,0) as char(18))) as KONSEAN
,LTRIM(CAST(I.ITEMID AS CHAR(8))) AS PRODCODE,'00' from INVENTTABLE I
LEFT JOIN INVENTITEMGROUPITEM IG ON I.ITEMID = IG.ITEMID
[Code] ....

Dear all,
i am using SQL server for turkish language and i have a problem with turkish character "i". Whenever "i" comes in any word of query it gives wrong result. It also not able to recognize the small and capital "i" of turkish.
I have data in a column that starts with 1-4 characters followed by a dash then followed by an number of characters (ex: EU-Surgery).
How do I select everything to the right of the dash when the number of characters to the left of the dash varies?
I'm working in a ASP.NET 2.0 application with a SQL Server 2000 database on the back end. I have a strongly typed dataset in the application that calls a stored procedure for the select. I'm having trouble filling the dataset at runtime though.
I am trying to use a character string query because I setup different columns to be pulled from a table each time and in a different order so my T-SQL looks like this:
set @FullQuery = 'Select ' + @FieldsinOrder + ' from tblExample'exec (@FullQuery)
This works fine in query analyzer. The results return and display correctly. However, when I run the application, the dataset does not get filled. It is like the results do not output to the application.
If I change the query to be a normal select it works. For example:
select * from tblEmample
That works fine. What is it about a select query setup as a character string and then executed that ASP.NET doesn't like?
I have an issue with some data that has a leading ASCII char 160 (the "a" with the accent mark) but it shows in query results as a space.
... where customername like char(160) + '%'
returns 2 rows but shows the customer name with a leading space. How would I change the collation or do otherwise to get this character to display correctly in the results?
Thanks!

I'd like to return the left-most character from an 8 character string & the third from the left character too.
Like this ABC00123 returns AC

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo "<tr><th>ini</th><th>item</th><th>area</th><th>date</th></tr>";

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());
Hi,
Anytime I BCP data from a table containing characters like ö it gets muddled up when I look at it in the text file. The code page of the NT OS is 850 and the character is included in it. Why is the character changed during the BCP ?

Hello all.
Ok this is going to be a little hard to describe but here goes
I have a table within which one column is used to store a SQL select statement as a string. This means that the whole select statement has to be enclosed within two ' characters. The problem is that the SQL statement itself contains these characters. The specific SQL statement i wish to save as a string is:
select
'<A HREF=DisplayOnlyDiscipline?SESSION_ID=' + :SESSION_ID +
'&DISP_REF=' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) +
'&EDIT_REF=' + :EDIT_REF + '>' + cast(DISP_REF as varchar) + '</A>' as Reference,
V.DESCRIPTION as Discipline_Stage,
DISP_DATE as Date
from
DISCPLIN D
left outer join
V_DISP V on (V.CODE = D.DISP_CODE)
where
EMPLOY_REF = :EDIT_REF
order by
DISP_DATE DESC
Can anyone suggest how i get round this?
thanks for reading peeps
Pls, what d this query return if applied on char type (string type)

Marry, Jean....

Thanks.

I have a SQL Server 2000 database which uses a Cyrillic collation. The database itself is in English, but some of the tables contain text which use the Cyrillic character set. When creating an ODBC connection to the database, ODBC forces me to have the "Translate character data" option set, which means that a query or stored procedure parameter containing Cyrillic characters have the Cyrillic characters translated to plain ascii. Data returned from a query or SP with Cyrillic characters work fine.
So the question is: how can I send Cyrillic (unicode) strings to an English SQL Server, without it translating the characters between Workstation and Server? Ideas appreciated.
Thanks,

I've forgotten the character set that I've chosen when I was installing the SQL Server 7. Is there a way to check?
I'm currently using US English version of Windows NT4 and SQL7. But interestingly, all the data is in Japanes characters. It's actually for a Japanese website, and the front-end application is written in ASP. I remember reading somewhere that it is impossible to do certain type of sorting (by some particular order for the Japanese language) as it is limited by the choice of the language of the NT OS.
The type of sorting that I'm looking at is the grouping of 5-characters. One example is in http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/aiueo.html
Would this be possible with my current setup? Or would it help if I migrate over to Windows 2000? (I'd rather not move to Japanese NT4)
Your feedback and advice would be very much appreciated!
How do I replcae an 'enter' character with a space in a field? This extra spaces entered in the web form while populating the field is causing extra spaces in the field. What is the ASCII value for the 'enter' character? so that we can replace that with a space?

Hello,
I am from the school of thought that you should in every case have your primary keys as numeric values only. However, where I currently work there is a project leader who is a recent FoxPro convert (I know, they are tough ones to crack). I made the suggestion recently that the keys in the table should be numeric and with him being the project leader and me just a lowely developer he said get lost. I made the point that later joining your tables together in a PK/FK relationship where the keys where character would be slower then with numeric keys. He didn't listen and now we are approaching production with a database that is really just a bunch of text file. He said that with SQL 7 it doesn't matter if the pk is numeric or character. I disagree. But I need solid documentation to take to him and to the managers to convince them. If anyone out there could advise me on this. And if anyone could give me or tell me where I could find documentation on why even in SQL 7 there is a need to use numeric keys that would be a great help and you would be making one more shop in this world a little bit more technically sound :-) Thank you in advance for your help.

Ans:- update SomeTable
set SomeField = rtrim(SomeField) + char(39)
where right(rtrim(SomeField),1) <> ''''
Thanks Bill for the solution it works.What l need now is an explanation so l can understand what l just did. Am l right in saying that the reason the char is 39 is to ensure that all fields regardless of length will have the qoute inserted at the end? What if the insert was to be at the beggining how would the query look like?
explain this portion (where right(rtrim(SomeField),1) <> '''') why those two qoutes?Thx a mil
