I have a column (PERIMAGE_PATH) in my table. The data in this column is imported from a fixed width text file and looks like the following:
07J06274
05J03254
04J11245
I need to modify the data in the column to look like this:
..images 7J06274.jpg

How can I do this?

Hi,
I was wondering how to modify a column's properties, like its datatype or length.
I know I'm supposed to do something like this:
ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN MyColumn int(20)
My main concern is, what will the database do to all the data in the column, if the column used to be, say nvarchar(50)? Will I lose the data in the column if I change the datatype? And what if I had data in this column that was longer than 20 characters? Will the data now be truncated? What can I do to make sure that nothing happens to the data once I change the datatype?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! =)
hi there
i'm using this code
DECLARE @strComma VARCHAR(1000)
SET @strComma = 'cmpnt_name,ASC,1,2'
SELECT CAST(RIGHT(LEFT(@strComma,Number-1), CHARINDEX(',',REVERSE(LEFT(','+@strComma,Number-1)))) AS CHAR(30))
FROM master..spt_values
WHERE Type = 'P' AND Number BETWEEN 1 AND LEN(@strComma)+1 AND (SUBSTRING(@strComma,Number,1) = ','
OR SUBSTRING(@strComma,Number,1) = '')
however i getting the data in one field which is like
cmpnt_name
ASC
1
2
i would like them to be in their specific column that is 4 different field
Name-----------Char----------Length---------Order
cmpnt_name-----1--------------2-------------ASC

We have a "main" SQL 2014 server who imports XML files using SSIS in a datacenter. In remote sites (which are warehouses), there is an instance of SQL 2014 Express. A merge replication is setup, as every operations done on each site must be "forwared" to the main database, as some XML files are generated as output for an ERP system.
Now, the merge replication replicate all the data to the server on each sites. But a specific site don't need the data of every other sites, only the data relevant to itself (which is the warehouse code). Is there a way to replicate only the data relevant to each individual sites to the subscribers? Or is there a better way than replication to accomplish this?

I am very early on in developing a website to track issues with projects which is tied to a SQL database. I have my Projects Table, my Users Table, and am creating a third table to track issues. I'm wondering what is the best way to assign specific users to specific data/projects. The user should only be able to view & update the projects assigned to him. He should not be able to see other projects. What is the best way to assign projects/data to the users to make sure they are only viewing their data?

Hello,
I have a column that is a currently set as nvarchar(50) and is called DateEmployed.
There are over a hundred rows that contain dates which is in nvarchar format.
This column now needs to be changed to a DateTime datatype. (Don't ask me it was not set
to a dateTime when this was first designed - I wasn't here)
However, I have to change this column to a DateTime without destroying the data.
Is there any easy way to write some script or use studio management to change this.
Currently the data is displayed like this in this column dd/MM/yyyy i.e. 25/8/2007.
The method I am using to try and change this is by going to studio management clicking
modify on the column and changing the datatype from a nvarchar(50) to a DateTime.
I get this following error message:
- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.
Any suggestions would be most grateful,
Thanks,
Steve

I am tearing my hair out with this!!
I have created a DB and up until yesterday I have been using SQL commands to add/remove tables, columns, constraints etc. However today when I attempt to modify the datatype of a column using
alter table Person modify Gender nchar(2)
I get this error
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'modify'.
I can still add colums but get the same error if I try to drop them and I can amend the tables in any way via the Design view so I don't think it's permission related.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Hi All,
Is there a way by which we can modify the width of a column of a table which is being replicated without touching the ongoing transactional replication? This is for MSSQL2000 Transactional Replication.
I know (and successfully tried) that we can add a column to a table and that gets propaged to the replicate database and indeed the added column gets reflected there. How to add a column? sp_repaddcolumn or Right Click on the Publication-Properties and it shows a button to Add a Column.
This is what I have tried for modifying the width of a column of a table participating in Transactional Replication from varchar(10) to varchar(100)
MH (source) -> MH1 (Replicate)
The column €œcol1€? had width of varchar(10) and this was altered to varchar(100).
insert into MH..test_mh values(4,'abcdeabcdefff')
select * from MH1..test_mh
exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2', @destination_db = N'MH1'
go
exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh'
go
alter table test_mh alter column col2 varchar(100) null OR
MH1..sp_help test_mh
exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @source_table = N'test_mh'
go
exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2' , @destination_db = N'MH1'
go
Needless to say, help would be apreciated -

How do I modify data in a sqlDataSource object (like inserting records, editing, deleting) similiary to how I modify data in a GradView using a DataList or repeater? I want to be able to have my own EditTemplate and be able to edit say four fields while I'm only viewing like two of them in the datalist/repeater.

I need to UPDATE a column by removing only the first occurance of $$sp;. I use the following to get an idea of what I have:
SELECT Reporting_Title_Html FROM Lab_Test Where RTRIM(Reporting_Title_Html)='$$sp;'
Reporting_Title_Html
------------------------------
$$sp;
$$sp;
$$sp;
$$sp;
$$sp;Thyroid maintenance required;$$sp..........
Get 5 Records....One record has multiple occurances of $$sp throughout the Reporting_Title_Html column.
I thought I could do:
Update Lab_Test Set Reporting_Title_Html=' ' Where RTRIM(Reporting_Title_Html)='$$sp;'
But I can't lose the trailing data from record #5. This is just a small sampling of what I'm trying to fix.
Any Ideas???
I've thought about REPLACE but that would replace all the $$sp's and I only want to change the very first one from $$sp to ' ' --> blank

In MySQL it's simple to insert new columns in specific locations in a table like this
sql Code:
Original
- sql Code
alter table foo add column bar integer not null default 0 after baz
ALTER TABLE foo ADD COLUMN bar integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER baz
But attempting to do the same thing in MSSQL fails with a syntax error on the word "after." I can insert columns in MSSQL but only if they are added to the end. I looked at the Microsoft insert documentation here but don't see any way to replicate the above MySQL command.
Is there any way to do this in MSSQL? Or do I have to completely recreate all my tables from scratch?
Thanks for any help

I want to write SQL that will search the tables in a database for a specific column, like this. For instance, I have a column "Unique_ID" that is in many of our tables (hundreds) but not in others and want to find out the tables it is in. It is always the first column.
I tried to find a system stored procdure to do this but couldn't and tried to create a script using the sysobjects and syscolumns tables in the Master db, but came to a roadblock because they don't seem to be related at all.
I would surely appreciate if someone else has already done this!
