Need Help Using Wild Cards In DTS
Nov 28, 2005
Hi All
I am new to SQL Server, DTS etc... But here is the question I have:
I have some files in a folder which have a the yr, month, date appended at the end, for e.g. testfile2005_11_28.log
In a folder I have to look for the log files which are named
testfileYYYY_MM_DD.log.
Dim item
For Each item In logFolder.Files
If (UCASE(item.Name) like ("TESTFILE" +"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-
9]"+"_"+"[0-12][0-12]"+"_"+"[0-3][0-9]" + ".log") )Then
msgbox item.Name
End For
I am getting compilation error: "Sub or Function not found" in the If
statement. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks,
D

Hi all I am rather confused on about using the SQL LIKE statement along with square brackets. If I type the following SQL command in SQL Server 2005:
Code Snippet
SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Field1 LIKE '%[ggg]%'
All rows from my Table are selected. ^^
If I used this command:
Code Snippet
SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Field1 LIKE '%ggg%'
No rows are returned. ^^
PLEASE NOTE THE USE OF SQUARE BRACKETS IN SQL LIKE STATEMENT.
Thanks for responses, Onam.

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to create a ASP.net website and use a web form to get the results of an enquiry. It is almost the same as the presentation video on this website called "How to Create Data Driven Website", but I have added a new twist to it. I want to use the "LIKE" instead of "=" in my SQL statement and I want to use wild cards in the parameter value that I enter.
<form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<% dim str as string = "%" & textbox1.text & "%" </%> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Visible="False" Text=str></asp:TextBox> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" Width="87px" BackColor="Khaki" ForeColor="Navy" PostBackUrl="~/Default.aspx" />
and the ControlID of the Datagrid will take in the value of "TextBox2" instead of "TextBox1" as so:
<SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox2" DefaultValue="SO06000001" Name="SO" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
However the syntax above does not work. May I ask what is the correct syntax?
Thanks.
Peter

Hi ,
we have CreditCardRange table
create table CreditCardRange(
ccr_CudtomerID int,
ccr_CardRangeFrom char(16),
ccr_CardRangeTo char(16)
)
table Orders
ord_id int
ord_CudtomerID int,
ord_CardNo char(16)
Example values in table CreditCardRange
1 , 5000 0000 2000 1234 , 5000 0030 3000 1356
Example values in table Orders
1, 1, 5000 0010 2000 2333
Does sql provide any magic finction to help in following select
select T1.*
from Orders T1
join CreditCardRange T2
on T2.ccr_CudtomerID = t1.ord_CudtomerID
and
SQLMagicFunction(T1.ord_CardNo)
between
SQLMagicFunction(T2.ccr_CardRangeFrom )
and
SQLMagicFunction(T2.ccr_CardRangeTo )

Dear All,
I need to keep credit cardd details in a an SQL server table.
What's the best way to make sure data is secure? Is there any built in encryption that can be used so data is not stored as text?
Thanks

We need to store credit cards for a limited amount of time because we charge for orders as they ship and occasionally the authorization expires before the item can ship.
I know I can use AES_256 to encrypt our credit cards but I am not sure if all I need to do is follow the directions in the "How-to" for encrypting data.
I created the master key, backed it up off the server the certificate and the symmetric key and I can encrypt and decrypt data.
Is this all I need to do or am I missing something?

Is there syntax that lets you look for all names that include ell in them? That is, in Oracle it would be:
select id from customers where firstname like(%ell%)
Or, is there regular expression support in the select's where clause?
thanks

I'm trying to put together a script that would alter a table and add NOT FOR REPLICATION to the identity column on several hundred tables. Since I am unable to write a complex script to automate the entire process, I've decided to do the update one table at a time. Here is a script that I'm working on. I'm getting an error message when I try to run the script. Can someone please show me how to properly use variable with a wild card in a string ? or how to properly add this variables in this script?
DECLARE @Var1 AS CHAR(50), @tbn AS CHAR(50)
SELECT @tbn = 'tablename'
SELECT @Var1 = Name FROM SysIndexes WHERE Name LIKE 'pk%' AND Name LIKE '%' + @tbn + '%'
EXECUTE('ALTER TABLE [@tbn] DROP CONSTRAINT ' + @Var1
ALTER TABLE + @tbn + DROP COLUMN mkey
ALTER TABLE + @tbn + ADD viewkey INT IDENTITY (1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE + @tbn + ADD CONSTRAINT PK_+ @tbn PRIMARY KEY (mkey) WITH FILLFACTOR=90 ON [PRIMARY]
Thanks in advance

In the below section of code I'm connecing to a SQL database and when I use the "=" in the search it works ok, but when I try to add the ability to use wildcards by changin "=" to "LIKE" its not working
Working code:
Function GetName(ByVal first_Name As String) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='FamilyInfo'"
Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT Names.* FROM Names WHERE (Names.First_Name = @First_Name)"
Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString
dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection
Dim dbParam_first_Name As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_first_Name.ParameterName = "@First_Name"
dbParam_first_Name.Value = first_Name
dbParam_first_Name.DbType = System.Data.DbType.StringFixedLength
dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbParam_first_Name)
Dim dataAdapter As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
dataAdapter.SelectCommand = dbCommand
Dim dataSet As System.Data.DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)
Return dataSet
End Function
Code that I would like to work
Function GetName(ByVal first_Name As String) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='FamilyInfo'"
Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT Names.* FROM Names WHERE (Names.First_Name LIKE '%' + @First_Name '+')"
Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString
dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection
Dim dbParam_first_Name As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_first_Name.ParameterName = "@First_Name"
dbParam_first_Name.Value = first_Name
dbParam_first_Name.DbType = System.Data.DbType.StringFixedLength
dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbParam_first_Name)
Dim dataAdapter As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
dataAdapter.SelectCommand = dbCommand
Dim dataSet As System.Data.DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)
Return dataSet
End Function
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi All,
I'm trying to use a very simple SQL String that check if a specific string exist in the DB.
When I do the SQL and use a regular Connection I get the result.
When I use a data set and on the table adapter I need to use the "LIKE %" method I get an error.
What should I write on the table adapter in order to make this search?
ItemID is a type string.
This is my SQL:
SELECT itemID, itemName
FROM Items
WHERE (itemID LIKE @ItemIDTemp)
This sample give no result
or
SELECT itemID, itemName
FROM Items
WHERE (itemID LIKE '%' + @ItemIDTemp + '%')
This sample return an error message
"Data conversion failed. [OLEDB status value (if known)=2]"
What is the right way to do so?

I want to retrieve data from SQL containing non English character but fail, can anyone shed me some light?
What I use currently:
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT ArticleID, "
strSQL &= "ISNULL(Body, '') AS Body, "
strSQL &= "ISNULL(Subject, '') AS Subject "
strSQL &= "FROM Articles "
strSQL &= "WHERE (Subject LIKE N'%' + @Keyword + '%' OR [Body] LIKE N'%' + @Keyword + '%') "
Dim con As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString"))
Dim cmd As New SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, con)
cmd.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@Keyword", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = keyword
...
I'm not so sure where should I place the letter "N", I use :
SELECT ArticleID,
ISNULL(Body, '') AS Body,
ISNULL(Subject, '') AS Subject,
FROM Articles
WHERE (Subject LIKE N'%SomeNonEnglishString%' OR [Body] LIKE N'%SomeNonEnglishString%')
in Query Analzyer, it works! But it failed in my program... oh my god...
Thanks a lot!
