We have many postcodes in our database that are UK ones. Some cutomers enter then as one string. Example BA124XT
In the SQL table we have two columns PostCode and Country. Is it possible to write a SQL script that will insert a space three characters from the right of the postcode where the country is UK?
So before it would be BA124XT and after BA12 4XT for them all?
I'm doing a bcp out of a table to a file. Some of the fields in arecord may have an empty string.When I bcp out to the file and examine it, the fields that have anempty string in the database now show up in the file as having oneblank character.Why is bcp doing this? I don't want the blank character in my output.Thanks,Eric

I've taken over a database where for many tables the postcode field (equivilent to the US Zip Code) is the obvious primary key. [Mapping postcodes to distict or various types of area for statistical analysis]. However the people who set up the database have continually used an auto generated number for the primary key.
There are never any duplicate postcodes in the various tables, so my question is what is the advantage of either using or not using the postcodes as primary keys.
Hello,
Does anyone have some code that can do the following:
Postcode N12 5FF
Postcode NG4 5FF
I need to get the postcode N12 5FF based on the 'N' bt leave the NG4 5FF postcode behind. So obviously using LEFT will not work, does any have any code that will strip of the first alpha characters?
Thank you.
Hi - I know this isn't really a specific SQL Server question but Ican't think of a better forum.I want to implement a more sophisticated UK postcode search on a site- "LIKE 'NW%'" etc, is not bringing back good enough results.A feature that would allow me to ask: "give me all outward postcodesin a 30 mile radius of NW10" would be ideal.Has anyone had to do this before? - any advice on how muchappreciated. Some of the postcode products available don't reallyseem to offer this feature.NH
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone,
Basically i've got a postcode query problem, i have a column with postcodes like:
abc 123
abcd 123
ab 123
What im trying to do is query only the first set on digits without the 123.
So my output should be:
abc
abcd
ab
Ive used the following technique:
select TRIM(substring(postcode,1,if(instr(postcode," ")=0,length(postcode),instr(postcode," ")))) from dbTest;
This works perfect in MySQL but not in sql enterprise, as it doesnt like the if syntax as well as the instr();
Any solutions please?? any suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks
not sure exactly where I should ask this question, but im looking fora database of Australian Postcodes that included thelongitude/latitude.Does anyone know of such a thing? Preferably free...fingers crossed.many thanksjack

I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with €œ €?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.

Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?
This is driving me bananas. Can't find any info on this anywhere....SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I seta varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Whyon earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE2 SPACES!!!!Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to usingvarchar?Any help appreciated.Colin Hale

Somebody know how to reduce the space allocated for the transaction log space for my SQL_DB ?
3700 MB allocated but only 100 MB used and 3600 MB are free !
Transaction log properties :
Automatically grow file are filled
file growth by percent = 5%
maximum file size - restrict filegrowth = 3700 MB (we can't reduce it !)
Thank you for your precious help !

I am trying to insert data into two different tables. I will insert into Table 2 based on an id I get from the Select Statement from Table1.
Insert Table1(Title,Description,Link,Whatever)Values(@title,@description,@link,@Whatever)Select WhateverID from Table1 Where Description = @DescriptionInsert into Table2(CategoryID,WhateverID)Values(@CategoryID,@WhateverID)
This statement is not working. What should I do? Should I use a stored procedure?? I am writing in C#. Can someone please help!!
I need to create a proc. which would send a warning via xp_sendmail when the database space gets within 10% of allocated space. I have written one which uses sp_spaceused however this proc requires DBCC udateusage to be run in order to get accurate results. This would work but i don't know how quickly the data returned by sp_spaceused becomes corrupt therefore how often DBCC should be run. I ran DBCC on our main production server and it took a considerable amount of time. Basically I am looking for another way to do this without using sp_spaceused. Any ideas
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have any knowledge on how to find out the log space left in a database? I've tried to use the DBCC sqlperf (logspace) and it gave me the numbers but I only need one of the numbers. How can I retrieve it? Someone please let me know if you have any info. Thanks a million.

I have a 12 GB database growing at 25 MB daily. The server will soon run out of space, 3 GB left. I cannot buy a new server or new RAID subsystems at once, and want to prevent the server being filled up fast.
What are the best ways? Can you share with me some of your thougts or comment on the following:
1) Archive old data in many tables across servers -
Can SQL Server do it directly across server or we need to select into temp database and back it up to tape or using bcp out and in?
2) Put the >9Gb disk dump to another server. The daily disk dump takes up a lot of space.
3) Dump to the tape directly, saving 9 GB disk space of dump device.
4) ? ?

Need to know how to shrink a 6.5 DB. When going inot Shrink dialog it won't let me change it to any amount less thatn what it is already set to.

Backup Database dbname with truncate_only and then restore the bak file.

Thanks All,
Hope this question is not too dumb for this forum.. but here goes.
I have a DB on SQL Server 2K which is the backend for our Great Plains System.
When I look at the properties of the Database from Enterprise Manager, It shows Size: 1370.57mb and space available: 0.00 The ZERO space available is what I'm concerned about. The DB is in FULL recovery mode with a nighly Full backup and transaction log backups throught the day. The DB is set to autogrow and the file growth is set at 20 percent.
My question is.. should I be worried about the ZERO space available and if so, how do I correct this??

is there a way of taking up to the first space in a string
View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay, so i've been working in foxpro for a while, but now we're moving on to bigger stronger faster. my question is, in foxpro, i used to be able to fix some name formatting issues with two commands:
replace all fname with subs(name,1,at(' ',name))
replace all lname with subs(name,(at(' ',name)+1),(30-at(' ',name)))
this basically locates the space in the name on each record, and replaces the first name with 0-space and the last with space-end of field
little cude, but it gets the job done. so basically i'm looking for the same solution but for t-sql, i tried something like:
update t1
set name=substring(name,1,at(' ',name))
from temp t1
with no luck, AT() is not an expression in sql, so what is out there that's like it?

Hi, how does one normally insert a space in a statement like this: INSERT INTO table (column0, column1, column2)
VALUES (getdate(), 'blah', CONVERT(VARCHAR(19), GETDATE(), 120) + 'blahblah')In column2 the output looks like ' 2007-10-08 20:19:08blahblah', but I want it to be like '2007-10-08 20:19:08 blahblah' (two spaces between date and text).Thanks,Chris
