View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out how to pull only a certain character string.
orig string varies in length (Varchar 50)
ex: MID - Proposed - Prime
ex: MID - NotProposed - NotPrime
I want to keep the first 6 characters 'MID - '
as well as up to the 3rd SPACE (not including the space)
so
ex: MID - Proposed
ex: MID - NotProposed
DECLARE @FullName VARCHAR(100)
SET @FullName = 'Vauxhall Adam Rocks AIR Vauxhall'
SELECT LEFT(@FullName, NULLIF(CHARINDEX(' ', @FullName) -1, -1)) AS [FirstName],
RIGHT(@FullName, ISNULL(NULLIF(CHARINDEX(' ', REVERSE(@FullName)) - 1, -1), LEN(@FullName))) AS [LastName]
This is only gives first and last not first and middle
DECLARE @FullName VARCHAR(100)
SET @FullName = 'Vauxhall Adam Rocks AIR Vauxhall'
SELECT
STUFF(@FullName,charindex(' ',SUBSTRING(@FullName,5,LEN(@FullName)))+5,LEN(@FullName),'') [Firstname1],
STUFF(@FullName,1,charindex(' ',SUBSTRING(@FullName,5,LEN(@FullName)))+4,'') Lastname1
Not right as it gives
Vauxhall
Adam Rocks AIR Vauxhall
Ideally the result should be
Vauxhall
Adam Rocks AIR

View 10 Replies View RelatedSo we have a field called forenames, and it needs to be split into fields forename_1, forename_2, forename_3, forename_4 (don't ask).
Ok, I've come up with this so far, which works, but is pretty nacky in my opinion. Has any one got a better way of achieving this?
SELECT forenames
, Replace(forenames, ' ', '.')
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 1)) As [f1]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 2)) As [f2]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 3)) As [f3]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 4)) As [f4]
FROM ( SELECT 'John' As [forenames]
UNION SELECT 'John Paul'
UNION SELECT 'John Paul George'
UNION SELECT 'John Paul George Ringo'
) As [x]
Results
forenames (no column name) f1 f2 f3 f4

John John John NULLNULL NULL
John Paul John.Paul John PaulNULL NULL
John Paul George John.Paul.George John PaulGeorgeNULL

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
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.
"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.
we have a value in a column with double space between characters like" abcd efgh", when I do the preview of the report I see the value as it is with double space; but when I deploy the report on to the reporting server, I just see only single space between the characters. whys is it eliminating one space when it is deployed on the reporting server? how can I get the same value with 2 spaces?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn sql server 2000 - our QA pointed out that his testing for empty strings returned 200 + rows but that when he clicked in the field there were obviously a space there. This issue came up because of the script I created to replace and earlier one that queried on empty strings instead of datalength and the earlier script always reported that it had updated x number of rows regardless of how many times it was run on the same database.
QA query based on the earlier script:
Select * from StringTable
WHERE (LongString = '' OR LongString IS NULL)
My script:
The fields are nvarchars in the newer database but older version of the database had varchars. I had created a script to replace empty strings as follows:
-- if LongString column is varchar - run varchar update else nvarchar update
If exists (Select * from sysobjects o
inner join syscolumns c on c.id = o.id
where c.name = 'LongString' and o.name = 'StringTable' and c.xtype = 167) begin
-- update varchar LongString
UPDATE StringTable
SET LongString = char(32)
-- Select * from StringTable
WHERE ((DATALENGTH(LongString ) < 1) OR LongString IS NULL)
END
Else Begin
-- update nvarchar LongString
UPDATE StringTable
SET LongString = char(32)
-- Select * from StringTable
WHERE ((DATALENGTH(LongString ) < 2) OR LongString IS NULL)
END
If exists (Select * from sysobjects o
inner join syscolumns c on c.id = o.id
where c.name = 'ShortString' and o.name = 'StringTable' and c.xtype = 167) begin
UPDATE StringTable
SET ShortString= char(32)
-- Select * from StringTable
WHERE ((DATALENGTH(ShortString) < 1) OR ShortString IS NULL)
END
Else Begin
-- update nvarchar ShortString
UPDATE StringTable
SET ShortString= char(32)
-- Select * from StringTable
WHERE ((DATALENGTH(ShortString) < 2) OR ShortString IS NULL)
END
My method for checking for datalength appears to work correctly why doesn't the QA script? I thought it might have to do with the nvarchar used in the table but I changed the column to a varchar and still has the same issue.
Thanks
Ok following scenario
create table dbo.ADAssets
(Computername nvarchar(max))
insert into dbo.ADAssets
values
('AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d',
'AIRLBEOF3565')
So if execute the following
select Computername
from dbo.ADAssets
where Computername like
'AIRLBEOF3565%'
I get both records,but if I do this
select *
from dbo.ADAssets
where Computername in
(
'AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d',
'AIRLBEOF3565'
)
I only get AIRLBEOF3565
So the big picture is that I need to compare 2 tables to find records that match & don't but that I get matches that shouldn't be & matches that aren't.

how can you return part of a string and convert it into an integer value? Maybe like this:
convert(left(column, 3) as int)
does that work?

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is a portion of my stored procedure in T-SQL
CREATE PROCEDURE GetPoll

The final part(*) of this SQL will return more than one value, so is it possible for me to return all that information in one varaible with one SELECT query?? Or would I need to use a loop and query a value at a time, and store it into a delimited string?

Up till now I've used SP's for updates and only ever needed to return error messages.
Now I have an SP that checks and validates something and has to return a string containing the result, (always a string/varchar!)
It works fine in Query Analyzer, I just need a demo of how to incorporate it into a VB app.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks

Cannot see where I am going wrong. I always get a value of 0. I know my function works correctly, so it must be the VB.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[getNextProjectID] ()
RETURNS varchar(10) AS
BEGIN
'''''''''''''''''''...........................
DECLARE @vNextProjectID varchar(10)
RETURN @vNextProjectID
END
Sub LoadNextProjectNumber()
Dim vProjectID As String
Dim cmd As New SqlClient.SqlCommand()
cmd.Connection = sqlConn
cmd.CommandText = "getNextProjectID"
cmd.Parameters.Add("@vNextProjectID", vProjectID)
cmd.Parameters("@vNextProjectID").Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
cmd.ExecuteScalar()
vProjectID = cmd.Parameters("@vNextProjectID").Value
txtProjectID.Text = vProjectID
cmd.Dispose()
End Sub
I'm trying to execute a parameterized SQL string but need a return parameter (a multiplier) to include in a later SELECT statement.
What i'm looking for is equivalent to this paraphrased statement:
EXEC('SELECT @val = from @column where Value = @Value')
Where I would later use @val something like:
Select Value * @val as Total Value
Is there an easy way to do this..i've read and read to no avail.

Is their a way to return only a portion of a string returned from a query? Please look at the following query and what it Yields:
select UserName from MyDirectory
NTSRJoe MeekletonNTSRAnfreesa ClinklHeadBRYAmy KooplosaAKVermian Strikoos
How can I fix this query so that it returns everything to the right of the '' character?
So I want the query to instead return the following:
Joe MeekletonAnfreesa ClinklHeadAmy KooplosaVermian Strikoos
I have a stored proc that builds a character string from a number of rows returned from a select query. Is there anyway to insert a carriage return after I append the value of each row to the string variable?
