How To Write A T-SQL Script To Replace Val() In MS Access?
Oct 11, 2006
I am converting an MS-Access DB to SQL-Server, and one of the queries I'm
converting uses the VB Val() function in the ORDER BY clause. Is there any
T-SQL function that can mimic this? CAST and CONVERT return errors because
some of the data is non-numeric. The column I am ordering is a varchar(5) with
ID number 'ZZ0001', 'CC0002', 'AA0003' etc . I would like the dataset to be sorted by number only :
I can't figure out how to replace a single digit entry in my database with a new digit. i want to replace in the alarms.severity all values of 4 with a new value of 2. For some reason the script I wirte won't get past the digit 4 in the statement. Anyone have a script they can let me try?

My company currently has about 20-25 Ms Access Database that they want toreplace the FE with .net and the BE on SQL.This will be done using Visual Studio 2005. Once the FE is converted to .netand the BE is SQL they all will be accessed through our intranet (sharepoint).I work in Ms Access and intermediate at VBA and just learing SQL through theENTERPRISE MANAGER SCREEN.I am just now looking at what Visual Studio 2005 is, but can some one tell mehow this will all connect?What is the typical route for this process?Ms access to SQL - upsizing wizard or SQL importing?????Ms Access FE to .net - summarize how this is done in visual studio (user facerebuilt) then placed on sharepoint?Can anyone sum this up?--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
I have a database that has been working in MS Access 97 for a couple of years. I just moved the tables up to our SQL Server (7.0) and now I get "Write Conflict" errors when I try to update certain records. The table has a unique primary key and I have upgraded my MDAC to 2.50. Nothing seems to help. The records that get the Write Conflict tend to be ones that are the newer ones in the database. Not all records have this problem. I can update the records by going to Enterprise Manager and typing data directly in the tables. The detail on the error message says "This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it." I am the only one using the database. Any ideas?
I'm trying to code a query in Access that finds rows w/ duplicate "ContactKeys" then finds duplicate "AddressLine1s" out of the list of duplicate "ContactKeys." (I tried subqueries but it was really slow)
I am trying to create a new table with only duplicate ContactKey rows, and then I wanted to use that table to pick out the duplicate AddressLine1 rows.
Code:
SELECT * INTO dupContactKeys FROM Contacts WHERE ContactKey IN ( SELECT ContactKey FROM Contacts GROUP BY ContactKey HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)
SELECT * FROM dupContactKeys WHERE ContactKey IN ( SELECT AddressLine1, Zip FROM Contacts GROUP BY AddressLine1, Zip HAVING COUNT(*) > 1) ORDER BY ContactKey, TypeKey;
drop table dupContactKeys
This of course doesn't work. Please help, as I am going slightly mad!
I can access Microsoft Access database via ODBC on Windows 2000 usingC++. Now, I would like to use the SAME piece of code to access MS SQLon Windows. Can I achieve this without any modification to my existingcodes?Then, I would like to use the SAME piece of codes to access Oracleon Windows? Is it possible?Thanks in advance!
Hi,I'm accessing a pair of databases with ASP/ADO,and using stored procedures on the first access.The first access works OK - everything gets writtento where it's supposed to be.On attempting to write to a pair of database tablesin the second database (second access attempt),the server crashes, as does the app, and I get the following error:--------------------------------------------------------------------Server Error in '/Webfolder01' Application.Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server.

I have wriiten a query that works great in sql server but MS Access does not support EXCEPT. I have to rewrite this query using 'IN' or 'NOT IN' but can not figure it out because it must be compared on all fields. I'm sure this will require multiple subqueries because 'IN' must return only one field but I can not rap my brain around it. Could someone please help with this? Here is the 'EXCEPT' query I know works.

To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.
Hi all, I made a migration operation and when I am looking inside database I can see the <BR> tags. The question is how to write a query that replace all of this occurances of <BR> inside the colum table, with CLRF which is a new line code. Thanks in advance.

That apostrophe is killing me because the SQL keeps it as ryan's field, not ryan''s field(note the 2 apostrophes). I cannot do: REPLACE(@FieldName, ''', '''') because it's not closing the apostrophes. Is there an escape character that I can use to say only one: ' ?Would the only solution be to put: ryan''s field into the Database, and just format it properly on the output? Thanks.
Hi, I am having a situation where I need to update a column in my SQL table that contains a link to an image file. Basically ... I have this stored in a column IMAGESRC Project/aa11be5d-dd9e-48c8-9d8c-6a972e996b28/ProjectImages/702d_2.jpg I need to change it to this Project/NEWUSERID/ProjectImages/702d_2.jpg How can I accomplish this in SQL???
I have a table with a field called productname, and it has about 5000 rows, and within that about 1000 have a productname that has 'NIB' in the name, ie "My Product NIB DVD" and I have been asked to replace 'NIB' with 'New' ie "My Product New DVD" Can I do this in SQL using an Update statement? Or do I have build something in maybe asp.net to use a replace function to change the name.
I'm not sure how to use REPLACE here. The Query following REPLACE returns a string whose format is A B C D and I'm trying to convert it to 'A','B','C','D' I'm doing something wrong because query analyzer doesn't like something about the way I've written this.

Does anybody know how to search through all stored procedures (in SQL Server 2000) and find and replace text without having to open each one individually in Query Analyzer and doing so one at a time?
That would be so time consuming. I want to be able to change my table names, but I have so many stored procedures allready using the old names. To go and find each name and replacing them is a task I don't want to even try and do.
I am using MSDE. In this I have a field that contains a desciption. Prior to saving to the db, I replace all vbcrlf's to <br />'s. That works fine when displaying in HTML, but when I display it in a datagrid, I want to replace the <br />'s with vbcrlf's.
I thought I might be able to do it with a replace function in my SQL query, something like "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description". This produces an error that vbcrlf is not a fieldname. So I tried "select replace(Description, '<br />', 'xxx') as Description", and while this did not create an error, neither was the text replaced.
Am I not using the replace function correctly? Is there another way in which I might accomplish the task?
Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database=dbname" Dim CommandText As String
'Command text is greatly abreviated for this discussion. CommandText = "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description"

Dim ds As New DataSet() Dim dv as new dataview() myCommand.Fill(ds)
Can anyone tell me how to replace a single apostrophe in a record with a double apostrophe (in Query Analyzer, SQL7)? I've tried "select replace("d'","d'","d''")FROM RESORT" but it doesn't UPDATE the table.
I have a need to evaluate a parameter to use like keywords. (Not my server, so indexing is not available.) I can get the first scenario to work, but wanted to see about getting the syntax so I wouldn't have to exec the statement. If I run the first execute statement, I get three rows (accurate). If I run the second statement, I get no rows. Anybody help me out with the syntax? I've tried so many variations, I'm lost. Many thanks.
