Anyone know what's the MS-SQL function that look at the zipcode like "30296-6912" and chop off the "-6912" suffix by just looking at the hyphen part?
Thanks...
Hello everyone again.
I'm trying to manipulate one of my collumns. I have one collumn called fundID (where a 7 diget number is stored). These numbers are sequestial (not identifers w/n the SQL database) but they have meaning in the order they are in....for instance:
1100000 is a higher level then
1110000 and this is a higher level then
1111000 (which is the lowest level)
however since they are all part of the 11 group they all belong w/n the same group.
What I've done is created two more collumns and I want to deceminate the field where these id's are kept.
So if my key is 1110000 I want to list in the centerKey collumn that the Center Key is 1100000 (becasue it is the one higher then the 1110000 key)....This is all for reporting purposes that i'm doing in .net and has been the easist way to relate all of these records together.
If someone could lead me in the right direction on how I could write a stored proc that would break these down properly that would be great...Im trying to base it on the Substring right now but that does not seem to be working....if there are any more ideas I appricate it.
Thanks in advance everyone as always.

I have a zipcode table that is missing the leading 0's.
Currently Need
501 00501
1001 01001
How would I go about adding the missing 0's?
I have a table with a column 'zipcode' that contains a 9 digit zipcode. I am am trying to figure out how I can create a query that returns the count of the most popular zipcodes based only on the first 5 digits.
This is what I have
Code:
SELECT Customers.Zipcode, Count(Customers.Zipcode) AS CountOfZipcode
FROM Customers
GROUP BY Customers.Zipcode
ORDER BY Count(Customers.Zipcode) DESC;
which does what I want it to do except it uses the whole 9 digits.
Any help would be appreciated
We are creating a company-wide table of ZipCodes, States, GPS info, etc. This table can be used by our development and production servers (many of them.) We could place the table on a given server and use linked servers to grant access to that table to the other servers. But is there a better way to handle this globally-useful table?

P.S. Clearly, we don't want to have multiple copies of this table scattered around on various servers. That introduces synchronization issues.
I am having problems updating my zip code table that contains zip, city, state, long, lat, ect..
I have the latest CSV file, I tried to use the import wizard in SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.
I set the ID field as <ignore> and specified the appropriate columns for the rest of the data matching from CSV to already designed and working zip code table. Also I checked the box that said "Delete Rows in Destination Table" as well as "Enable Identity Insert" was checked
I ran the wizard, and now I have empty table and it will not insert any records because the error said that the identity column can not accept NULL.
What do I do? I am not updating the identify column so Is it telling me it can't insert NULL into ID?
Any suggestions...
Thanks,

I have the following code, which returns a list of nearby cities based on a city name as input. Most cities have multiple zipcodes per city name, thus it can list multiple rows with the same city name, but with different zipcodes like below:
Zip | Cityname
111 belmont
112 belmont
113 belmont
114 san francisco
115 san francisco
---------------- etc----------------
I do not really care about each group of zipcodes. I only need one pair of zipcode/city name like the following:
ZIP | City name
111 belmont
114 San Francisco
How do I change my select to only return a distinct city name. I do not care which if the city/zipcodes it returns from the similar city.
The select statement is below:
CREATE PROCEDURE ZipSearchByCity
@city varchar(40),
@State varchar(5),
@distance int
AS
SELECT distinct o.City AS City, o.zip_code, o.State AS State,
(3956 * (2 * ASIN(SQRT(
POWER(SIN((z.RADlatitude-o.RADlatitude)/2),2) +
COS(z.RADlatitude) *
COS(o.RADlatitude) *
POWER(SIN((z.RADlongitude-o.RADlongitude)/2),2)
)))) dist
FROM zipcodes z,
zipcodes o,
zipcodes a
WHERE z.city = @city AND
z.State = @State AND
z.zip_code=a.zip_code AND
(3956 * (2 * ASIN(SQRT(
POWER(SIN((z.RADlatitude-o.RADlatitude)/2),2) +
COS(z.RADlatitude) *
COS(o.RADlatitude) *
POWER(SIN((z.RADlongitude-o.RADlongitude)/2),2)
)))) < @distance
GO
Thanks,

Hi All,
Does anyone have a Stored Procedure that works perfectly to retrieve all zipcodes within a specified zipcode and distance radius - a zipcode and radius is passed and the Store Procedure result shows all zipcodes that falls within that range.
Thanks in advance

I am new to SQL.
But here is my question. I have a column 'name' and contents are like
A-B, C-D, E-F
When I query DB using, SQL
select * from tbl_Names
where name='C-D'
it does not display anything...
What am I doing wrong?
Does anybody knows a workaround to register SQLServer with the name which contains hyphen('-') character in it? I work for multi-national company & they have naming standard for NT servers & this server has hyphen in it.
Also site server guru here thinks that server name change option is not feasible. Please help.
We are about to name a new SQL Server and was wondering if anybody has any documentation/knowledge that states one should avaoid using hyphens when naming Servers, objects, etc in SQL.
I have always heard its bad practise, but have not found any solid documentation. For example, I know that the 'connect to' statement does not like hyphens, but what about a SQL Server name on the network ?
Thanks
Hi,
1- I have given a dbo permission on a database named F12345-1, now I want to create a job on that server using this database.
2- I tried to create the first step in the new job but I don’t see my database name on the databases drop down menu (I only see the system databases)
3- I tried being under Master and using the USE sql command (Ex: Use F12345-1) at the beginning of my step but I get a message saying that the database F12345 doesn’t exist (The message doesn’t say the whole database name only the part before the hyphen)
4- I tried putting quotes around the database name with no luck, although that worked in SQL Query Analyzer but the Job didn’t like it.
Can you please help with this, knowing that I have no control on the database name (In order to remove the hyphen from the name which I am assuming is the cause of this problem)
Thanks
Hi,
I'm using the following SQL script to return a list of part number and the order is not what I expect. Perhaps this is a collation problem but I have no idea where to look to modify that.
Thanks in advance, John
select part from transactions T where (T.transdate between '20070701' and '20070705') and
(T.transtype = 'ISSU' or T.transtype = 'RTRN') order by part
Here is the beginning of the Transactions table create script
CREATE TABLE [Transactions] (
[RecNo] [int] IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL,
[Part] [nvarchar] (30) NOT NULL ,
[TransDate] [nvarchar] (8) NOT NULL ,
[TransType] [nvarchar] (4) NOT NULL ,
[FromLoc] [nvarchar] (10) ,
The 'Part' column is an alphanumeric field. The problem I am having is that the
Order By seems to ignore the hyphen character '-' when the returned rows
are ordered by the Part (which can contain hyphens in any column).
Here is an example of what I get.
130909N9
130909N9
130909N9
1-480698-0 * These two should not be here
1-480699-0 *
15-423
164-07700
164-07700
164-07700
1683
I was expecting this ( and I get this in and older database ).
068-03000
068-03000
06A19956
074-03200
077-367-0
08DU08
1-480698-0 * These should be here eariler in the data
1-480699-0
100-364072
100-364072
I have a colum of numbers, which datatype is nvarchar;
157853
4389
1999999999556
4568987
I need to insert a hyphen, 3 spaces from the right (to left) My numbers would look like this:
157-853
4-389
1999999999-556
4568-987
...do I use the rtrim function ?...what would the syntax look like ?
Thank you
Hey,
I have SQL Server 2000 DB that was converted via DTS from Acccess 97. Replication fails for any table with a single hypen in the table name. If I copy one of these tables to a name using an underscore rather than a hyphen, then it replicates successfully.
Below are errror messags from agent with -Outputverboselevel set to 2. I have also seen 'Agent error code 20082', in which case the replication command is incomplete.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi All,we have a problem with the Full Text Catalog Search.We use the following SQL Statement for matching companies from a table:select company, lastname, firstname, pkcustomers, fkcustomers,location, title, fkFunktionen, TypeOfPositionfrom customerswhere (fkcustomers = 0 or fkcustomers is null)and active = 1and pkCustomers in (select [KEY] from CONTAINSTABLE(Customers, Company,'"*SEARCHTERMS*"'))order by company ascThe search so far is working perfect.Now the problem: There are two companies in the table called "i-fabrik"and "b-wise". There´s no way to find these two companies. I find outthat the search is successful if there are more than three letters infront of the hyphen (for exampe iii-fabrik or bbb-wise). How can thatbe? Why exactly 3 letters?I hope somebody can help me.Best regardsMarkus Weber

Is Rand function cannot be used in the User Defined function?
Thanks.
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.
Hi,
I wonder if there a function that i can use in the expression builder that return a value (e.g o) if the input value is null ( Like ifnull(colum1,0) )
i hope to have the answer because i need it so much.

Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
Hi All
Yesterday Peso was gracious enough to help me with creating function/views/sp's
I took those examples and extended what had from excel into function in SQL
however I see myself repeating certain parts of the query and i'm wondering if there is a way to call a function (in part or in whole) from another function?
Here are excerpts two functions I have:
We'll call this function UserUsage()
------------------------------------
RETURN(
SELECT ut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(Sum(hu.session_time)/ 60000) AS [Time Spent(MIN)],
Max(hu.time_stamp) AS [Last Log Date],
pct.Title, cat.topic_name
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable ut,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.history_usage hu,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.pc_CourseTitles pct,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.cam_topics cat
WHERE ut.student_id = hu.student_id
AND hu.course_id = pct.CourseID
AND hu.topic_id = cat.topic_id
AND ((ut.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (pct.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (ut.GroupID=3400)
AND (hu.time_stamp>= @StartDate
And hu.time_stamp< @EndDate)
AND (hu.session_time<21600000))
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName, pct.Title, cat.topic_name
)
and will call this function UserSummary():
-----------------------------------------
RETURN (
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable AS ut
INNER JOIN ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.History_Usage AS hu
ON hu.Student_ID = ut.Student_ID
WHERE ut.ClientID = @ClientID
AND ut.GroupID = 3400
AND hu.Time_Stamp >= @StartDate
AND hu.Time_Stamp < @EndDate
AND hu.Session_Time < 21600000
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName
)
As you can see the first part of the both query are simlar. In particular the:
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
and also the variables @StartDate and @EndDate.
In C# it would create a method and just call that method as well as the variables. However i'm not sure how to do that with sql functions. Could someone shed some light please?
Thank you!
