I want to update data only where the value of the 'image_path' column is NOT = 192.168.150.12/images/*
Im basically trying to exclude creating duplicates, where this path already exists.
Here is my code:
INSERT INTO IMAGE (FCN, IMAGE_NAME2) SELECT FCN, Col066 FROM GRAB where Col066 <> ' ' update IMAGE Set PERIMAGE_PATH = 'http://192.168.150.12/images/' +IMAGE_NAME2+ '.jpg' FROM IMAGE WHERE image_name2 IS NOT NULL and perimage_path is NOT = 192.168.150.12/images/*
What is the proper code to do this. I know the last line does not work. Thanks
I have a problem with SQL CE 3.5 and VS 2005. When I execute query with parameters and wildcard, I have an error : FormatException. Here is my query with parameters : Query: SELECT "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ID" AS "Numero","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_SECT_ID" AS "Section","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_NUMERO" AS "Rang","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_GROUPE" AS "Groupe","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ENTITES" AS "Entites","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_LBL_COURT" AS "Court","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_LBL_LONG" AS "Long","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ACTIVE" AS "Active","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_CONDITIONS" AS "Conditions","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_PARENTS" AS "Parents","PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_QUESTIONS" AS "QuestionsConditions" FROM "PARAGRAPHES" WHERE ( ( ( ( "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_SECT_ID" = ? AND ( ( "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ENTITES" LIKE ?) OR "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ENTITES" IS NULL))) AND "PARAGRAPHES"."PARA_ID" IN (SELECT "DOSSIER_LINKS"."DOLI_PARA_ID" AS "Paragraphe" FROM "DOSSIER_LINKS" WHERE "DOSSIER_LINKS"."DOLI_DOSS_ID" = ?)

If I execute query in Query Analyzer (without parameter : values directly on query) there is no errors.
I just migrated a stand alone MSAccess2003 .mdb to an .adp Access Data Project. In the former .mdb I had a parameter query to search for a portion of a 17 character part number, primarily the 2 grouping of 4 digits as in (00-0000-XXXX-0-00). In Access the query was written as
LIKE *&[Enter a portion of the part number]&*
Then we ported to a web based portal using MSAccesss DAP (data access pages) and I was told due to ADO vs DAO the query had to be rewritten using the % symbol as in
LIKE %&[Enter a portion of the part number]&%
So far so good. However with the migration to a SQL Server and ANSI-92 compatible wildcard characters this has changed. The new query looks like this
LIKE @Enter_a_portion_of_the_part_number +n%
The problem I am having is the prompt for data entry works but the wildcard will only return matching values from the first digit place holder. Some of the books I have read said to use the Under Score character to move the search criteria to the section I want to search which would be starting with the 9th character (00-0000-XXXX-0-00) as in
LIKE @Enter_a_portion_of_the_part_number +n________%
However the Under Score only works with Alpha Characters and not Numeric.
So how do I write a SQL Server Query to perform like it did in Access?
Hi, I'm working with a third party app on SQL Server 2000, and from what I can gather, programmed in C# & VisualFoxPro.
When we search with Note contains 94949 we get 571 results, when we search with Note contains 94949* we get 575 results.
There should be at least a hundred different entries that start with "94949-1" so I expected the query with the wildcard to return something like 680 results, not an additional four rows.
I had a User Management module in my application where I created a user with name
`~!@#$@%^&*()[_]+|}{":?><-=[[]];',./
Now I have a functionality to search for the user existing. For that give the search string or a single character and it finds out all the records containing the character.
How do I go about it as the SP i created for it gives correct results except the following
1. Search for % - Gives all record 2. Search for _ - Gives all records 3. Search for [ - Gives NO record 4. Search for the whole string - Gives NO Record
Has anyone seen a problem querying Excel or Access database when the "LIKE" clause is used with the "*" wildcard? The problem I'm seeing is that the query fails to return a dataset whenever "*" wildcard is used.
For Example,
sQry="Select * From [EmployeeData$] WHERE Id LIKE 'AAA'" 'query WORKS
sQry="Select * From [EmployeeData$] WHERE Id LIKE 'AAA*'" 'query does NOT WORK
Assume that Table name is "EmployeeData", with "ID", "Name" and "Birthdate" as Fields.

I am using query strings to pass data from web form to web form and I have two questions. First if i use a asp:sqldatasouce to fill up a grid view and I have my select command set to a paramater that get whatever is in the query string it will not work because whatever is in the quers string gets a " ' " put in front and in the back of it. So if the query string was 5 whene it does the sql statement it sets my paramater = '5' not just 5 so its wont work. How can I fix this using the asp:sql datasource my aspx code looks like <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Rental PropertiesConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [APARTMENTS] WHERE ([PROPERITY_ID] = @PROPERITY_ID)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="PROPERITY_ID" QueryStringField="key" Type="Int32" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> Also since i have not been able to get around this so i have been wrting code in vb.net to attact a dataset to a grid view to populate it based on the query string i would do the following in vb.net to get ride of the ' in front and behind the query string Dim y as string = "'" // " ' " key = Request.QueryString("key").trim(y.tochararray) But now i am doing another project in C# and I have re-written the above code in C# it will run but it will not take the " ' " out form infront or behind key. How does this need to be changed up? string y = "'"; key = Request.QueryString["key"].trim(y.tochararray());
Hi, I have a SQLDataSource binding to a GridView and can come to the page either with or without a query string attached: /ProjectManagement/reporting/project.aspx /ProjectManagement/reporting/project.aspx?portfolio=3 When it comes with a query string, I can see in SQL Server profiler it executes and I get all the right data. When it is an empty string, or with no "?portfolio=" on it, it won't even execute against SQL server. Any ideas? <asp:GridView ID="grid" runat="server" Width="600px" ShowHeader="false" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataSourceID="DSportfolio" AllowSorting = "true" AllowPaging = "true"> <Columns> <asp:TemplateField> <ItemTemplate> ............. </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> </Columns> </asp:GridView> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="DSportfolio" ConnectionString="<%$ AppSettings:SQLConnection1 %>" SelectCommand="uspSELECT_PROJECT" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" runat="server"> <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="p_PORTFOLIOID" QueryStringField="portfolio" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> Thanks, James

My problem is that this is not working please help
Let me start by asking that no one try to convince me to use Stored Procs. The examples below are a lot more simplistic then my real world code and it just gets too complicated to try to manage the quantity of SPs that I would need. I have an application that displays a lot of data and I've created a system for users to filter the data using checkboxlist controls, dropdown controls, etc. From this, I have a "core" query that selects the fields that display in my GridView. It has a base Select clause, From clause and Where clause. From this I then add more to the Where clause to apply these filter values. Here's an example "core" query: SELECT Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Project.ProjectNameFROM Profile, ProjectWHERE Profile.ProjectCode = Project.ProjectCode From this if a user want's to only display profiles from NC, they could select that from the CBL and the query would be modified to: SELECT Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Project.ProjectNameFROM Profile, ProjectWHERE Profile.ProjectCode = Project.ProjectCodeAND Profile.State IN ('NC') My code would add the last line above since the user specified that they only wanted NC profiles. This is very simple and I have this already going on with my application. Here's the problem. In order to accommodate all of the various filters, I have to inner join and left join a bunch of various tables. Many times I include tables that have no data to display or filter on and therefore impacts performance. Here's an example: SELECT Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Project.ProjectNameFROM Profile, Project, AgentWHERE Profile.ProjectCode = Project.ProjectCodeAND Profile.AgentID = Agent.AgentID From the query above, I have included the Agent table that holds the agent's contact information. One of my filters allows the user to type in an agents name to find all profiles assigned to it. Here's what that would look like: SELECT Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Project.ProjectNameFROM Profile, Project, AgentWHERE Profile.ProjectCode = Project.ProjectCodeAND Profile.AgentID = Agent.AgentIDAND Agent.Name = 'Smith, John' You can see now that it was necessary to have the Agent table already joined into the query so that when I used the agent name filter, it wouldn't crash out on me. The obvious thing would be to only include the Agent table when searching for an agent name. This is ultimately what I'm looking to do, but I need a solid method to go about doing this. Keep in mind that I currently have 16 tables in my "core" query and many of those are not needed unless the filters call for it. If anyone has any ideas on how to simplify this process I'm selcome to suggestions. We're using SQL 2000, but are looking to upgrade to SQL 2005, if that makes any difference. I know that the way I do table joins is compliant with SQL 2005 and I'm certainly open to suggestions that will make it forward compatible. This app is using .NET 2.0 and written in VB.NET. Thanks for any help!
If I have a query string that is to be stored in a database, for example
Code:
SELECT prod_id, prod_name, prod_desc FROM products WHERE prod_id = 'variable'
how can I put a variable identifier into this string so that when I need to run the query I call it from the database and simply insert the relevant variable in the correct place.
Is there an appropriate way of doing this in MS SQL Server?

I am building myself a datadriven menu control and I have got one table where I store all menu items as rows. On each row there is a column for roles, in this column I have added one or several roles as a string. Today I can retrieve all menu items (rows) for a requested role, but how can I retrieve menu items for two or more roles? I have each role inserted as rows in a temp table (@Role), if that makes it easier?DECLARE @Role TABLE ( role varchar(15)) SELECT SiteMap.Id, SiteMap.Title, SiteMap.UrlFROM SiteMapWHERE (CHARINDEX(@Roles, SiteMap.Roles) > 0 ) Regards, Sigurd
hi, please check this query and reply back with the appropriate solution. len(ltrim(rtrim(exec('select' ' ' + 'pay' +convert(substring(@y1,3,2), varchar 2)))))<>0 here the concept is concatenating two string then that result is used as column and retreiveing data.but this is considering it as string instead of column. can anyone give an appropriate solution.
Hi All,I have what seems to me to be a difficult query request for a databaseI've inherited.I have a table that has a varchar(2000) column that is used to storesystem and user messages from an on-line ordering system.For some reason (I have no idea why), when the original database wasbeing designed no thought was given to putting these messages inanother table, one row per message, and I've now been asked to providesome stats on the contents of this field across the recordset.A pseudo example of the table would be:custrep, orderid, orderdate, comments1, 10001, 2004-04-12, :Comment 1:Comment 2:Comment 3:Customer askedfor a brown model2, 10002, 2004-04-12, :Comment 3:Comment 4:1, 10003, 2004-04-12, :Comment 2:Comment 8:2, 10004, 2004-04-12, :Comment 4:Comment 6:Comment 7:2, 10005, 2004-04-12, :Comment 1:Comment 6:Customer cancelled orderSo, what I've been asked to provide is something like this:orderdate, custrep, syscomment, countofsyscomments2004-04-12, 1, Comment 1, 12004-04-12, 1, Comment 2, 22004-04-12, 1, Comment 3, 12004-04-12, 1, Comment 8, 12004-04-12, 2, Comment 1, 12004-04-12, 2, Comment 3, 12004-04-12, 2, Comment 4, 22004-04-12, 2, Comment 6, 22004-04-12, 2, Comment 7, 1I have a table in which each of the system comments are defined.Anything else appearing in the column is treated as a user comment.Does anyone have any thoughts on how this could be achieved? The endresult will end up in an SQL Server 2000 stored procedure which willbe called from an ASP page to provide order taking stats.Any help will be humbly and immensely appreciated!Much warmth,Murray
I'm wondering if an idea I'm playing with is feasible and if so, how you would recommend implementing it.
Let's say I have a Dictionary table, 2 columns:
Word | Definition
And I have a string - "The cat sat on the dog"
If there's a definition for "cat" in the dictionary table, I want to alter the string so it becomes "The >>cat<< sat on the dog"
At the same time, if there's also a definition for "dog" then my string now becomes "The >>Cat<< sat on the >>Dog<<"
The idea being that when I manipulate the data in my ASP I can replace() the >><< with specific HTML code. (I'm trying to recreate the "in text" advertising thing that lots of people seem to be using - but not doing adverts, just information for our users - Someone hovers over a highlighted word, and with a little bit of Ajax, I can pull the definition out...
I'm not sure (but I'm suspecting) that it would make more sense to do this as I'm storing the string in a table, rather than as I'm pulling it out ready for use (don't want to be slowing my end users down )
I have a SQL database where I am attempting to perform a complicated query that I cannot seem to figure out. I am using SQL Server.
I have 4 tables (TableA, TableB, TableC, and TableD). TableA and TableB are guaranteed to have a relationship.
TableC and TableD are guaranteed to have a relationship.
The trick is, I need to link between TableA and TableC essentially using a LEFT JOIN. I need to retrieve all of the values from TableA regardless and the information from TableC and TableD if there is a link, if there isn't a link, then the values from TableC and TableD need to be empty strings.
Does anyone know how I can do this? I've been trying for the last 5 hours without any luck. I feel I'm close, but there is something I feel I'm overlooking.
I ran across this technique being used in an application the other day. It seems not a good idea to me. What do you think?
1. The proc builds a basic query, nothing real fancy, into a string variable called @SQL defined as varchar 2000. Depending on the result desired, the group by clause can be one of three different sort orders.
2. The string is executed via EXEC @SQL.
It seems to me that the whole process can eliminate the EXEC and just use some other construct. All the parameters are passed in via the initial call to the stored proc. It also seems that every time this is executed it will result in a new query compile and cache useage, no matter what. Wasteful? Should I take the developers aside and knock heads? I think the app was coded by some folks who were rookies then but may be willing to crack open their code. Or, am I the one that is a rookie?
I wrote my own VB app to maintain all of my connection strings and link them to packages. I then grab them at run time and set them as variables in memory.
Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am working on an application that does a property search off of a database that contains approximately 40000 records. The search criteria allows the use to specify a minimum and maximum price, subdivision name, number of bedrooms, etc. I set up a stored procedure to query the databse. if one of the parameters is not specified, i simply pass it a "%". However, when i execute this sproc in Query Analyzer, it takes in excess of 10 seconds to return the records, even if only one or two are returned. I am assuming this is due to the use of the wildcard character when the user does not have a preference, but I am not sure of any other way to do this. Any help on this topic would be grealy appreciated.
hi,i have an sqldatasource a gridview and dropdownlistthe gridview is updated on the selectedIndexChanged Event of the dropdownlistmy goal is to add an item in the dropdownlist with the name ALLwhich should matches all the records in the databasei tried to put the value of the all item = * and % but neither seems to workany help on what could be going wrong would be appreciated
Is it a good idea to have multiple contains? I have this query:Select * from myTable where contains (Col1, 'Africa') or (Col2, 'Africa')Also, I tried this, didn't return anything:Select * from myTable where contains (Col1, 'Africa*') or (Col2, 'Africa')Both Col1 and Col2 has the string 'Africa' and 'African' in it.--sharif
I am trying to control how users view records. I want to create a solution that would, for instance permit:user A to view Store 1user B to view store 2 and store 3user C to view store 5 and store 6and User D to view all stores even if more stores were added in the future (in other words user D would have access to all records) I want to create an 'authorization table' so that different users can see different records. I think the easiest way to do this is to pass a parameter to the where clause, but the problem that I face is the how can I use a wildcard in a SQL 'IN' clause? Does anyone have any suggestions. Perhaps I am taking the wrong approach. I would appreciate any guidance.
Hello, I'm trying to pull some data from a table with the option to filter on 2 columns. I've set up my sql statement to accept 2 parameters and I'd like to be able to send 1 or 2 wildcards if needed. My statement looks like this:SELECT * FROM City WHERE CityName= @CityName AND State= @State ORDER BY CityName For example, if you wanted all of the cities in all of the states I would pass (*,*) as parameters. Or if I wanted to see all of the states that have a city named Richmond, I'd pass (Richmond,*) as the parameters. The wildcards are not returning anything and I don't know why. It works fine if I pass something like (Indianapolis,Indiana) as parameters so I think it's in my use of the wildcards that is wrong. Thanks.
I'm writing a stored procedure where one of the arguments (WHERE area) really only needs to be used in some circumstances. I.e., when the procedure is passed a USER_ID it needs to check that against the database, but in some instances I'll send 0 instead of a real USER_ID, and in those cases it should return all records regardless of the ID.
Here's what I've got: ... and b.user_ID = CASE @user_ID WHEN 0 THEN '%' ELSE @user_ID ... ...the problem being the '%' part. That won't work on an integer column.
