I have a column where records are either 6 or 7 characters long.
for example:
111.111
OR
111.01
I am trying to order by the characters after the period. In other words I would like to exclude the first 4 characters (the 111.)
Hey,
I want a search of name ='Jose' to find both Jose and José, but with
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE name LIKE '%Jose%'
i only get Jose, in "Inside SQL SQL" an article shows this:
If you want a search of name ='Jose' to find both Jose and José, you should choose accent insensitivity. Such a sort order defines all E-like characters as equal:
E=e=è=É=é=ê=ë
but how shut i do this ???

In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach this seemingly simple task in Reporting Services 2005, but have come up with nothing but frustration. Any help would be appreciated!
Here's the basic idea:
SELECT Server.Database1.Employee, Server.Database1.HomeDept, Server.Database2.WorkedDept
FROM Server.Database1, Server.Database2
I need to exclude certain combinations of HomeDept/WorkedDept (about 11)...such as 1015/2223, 1015/2226, 2002/4422, 2002/8742, 2002/2342, etc. I want any other combinations of HomeDept 1015 & 2002 to be selected (which would be hundreds).
I've tried:
WHERE (Server.Database1.HomeDept <> '1015' AND Server.Database2.WorkedDept NOT IN ('2223','2226')) AND Server.Database1.HomeDept <> '2002' AND Server.Database2.WorkedDept NOT IN ('4422','8742','2342'))
(and all combinations of NOT IN, <>, and parenthesis placement...I even tried to do each exception separately)
What happens is that all instances of HomeDept 1015 and 2002 and all instances of WorkedDept 2223, 2226, 4422, 8742, and 2342 are excluded.
The SQL Query Designer will remove parenthesis so that the HomeDept exclusion is processed separately from the WorkedDept.
I've tried to do the SQL in the Generic Query Designer, so the SQL Query Designer doesn't reformat it, and it still returns the same results.
This behavior only seems to happen when using <> for both, NOT IN for both, or a combo of NOT and <>. If I used = for the HomeDept, the exclusion of the WorkedDept worked fine.
Any suggestions?
The script basically maps ALL products to customer levels. The Delete statement at the start is needed to make sure that any deleted products or temporary mapped products are removed once a week.

Does anyone know how to write code to tell the amount of days between 2 dates excluding Saturday and Sunday.

and generating a report from an SQL table, and need to know how to exclude records that are "duplicates". Not duplicates in a sense that every field is identical, but duplicates in a sense where everything except the unique identifier is identical. Is there a quick and easy way to do this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem writing a SQL query that excludes certain data. This is for a pay stub application to display current and previous paycheck stubs. To calculate certain data such as YTD figures and time off, we SUM on other tables. However, to display correctly, I can't SUM bonus checks for the current payperiod ONLY - but for previous pay periods, I must SUM bonus checks.
Here's an example of my data:

CREATE PROC duplicate_row(@my_primary_key)

WHERETABLE_NAME = 'My_Table'

SET @sql_stmt = @sql_stmt +' title+''_copy'' AS title FROM My_Table WHERE my_primary_key = '+LTRIM(STR(@my_primary_key))
EXEC(@sql_stmt)
However this stored proc is horrifically slow. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a better way to accomplish this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe scenario is as follows:
I have rows coming from the db including:
Contract Number, Contract Name, owner and Actions associated with each contract.
SQL statement brings back:
Contract Number Contract Name Sales Owner Action
1234 123453 $50 Neil x
1234 123453 $50 Bob y
534232 5464634211 $30 Harry z
The problem is that each contract can have multiple actions associated with it...
There ideal output would be:
Contract Number Contract Name Sales Owner Action
1234 123453 $50 Neil x
Bob y
534232 5464634211 $30 Harry z
Total: $80
Basically I need to hide and not include repeated items based on a contract number... one idea I had was creating a group based on contract number and then display info in the header and then only owner and actions in the detail section.. The problem is Totals... how can I can it to avoid count the duplicated values..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have to do various controls on a dataset - I created a multicast. After performing controls (one control per copy), I merge my (7) multicasted datasets using a Union All transformation. The problem I'm having are the duplicate rows created by merging the multicast copies.
How do I get rid of the duplicates? Is the Sort Transformation the solution by setting the option Remove rows with duplicate sort values to True? I have a unique key by which I'm able to discard the duplicates correctly. Are there any other ways (at a Union All level)? Is there sth like Union and Union All like in SQL?

i have a field with 2 characters(many of them ) and spaced inbetween them
which are codes for something
ie XA OX YY BY CY DY XC XD OE In any or all combination
i want to make a count of rows which contains BOTH XA
BUT DOES NOT CONTAIN any one or all of XC,XD & OE
SO I write the query
select count(colname)
from tablename
where colname LIKE ('%XA%')
AND colname NOT LIKE ('%XC%')
OR colname NOT LIKE ('%XD%')
OR colname NOT LIKE ('%OE%')
')
iS this correct
why then it does not exclude the XC,XD,OE
is there a better way ?

I am trying to accomplish the following.
There are two tables. the second one is a table that contains fields based on which the exclusion logic has to be written. It has 5 fields and there may be data in all of them or only in some of them.
The first and second table have one field in common - the Account number.(ACCT_NUM)
the exclusion is based in steps..
1) if it has all the fields in the second table for that account number, then compare all of them..
2) if only 4 of them are present,compare and check for null for the rest
3) if only 3 of them are present,compare and check for null for the rest
4) if only 2 of them are present,compare and check for null for the rest.
how do i do this... pls suggest
Thanks

I'm using DTSWizard to import a table from my main database to Temp.
This is the SQL statement...
CREATE TABLE [tempdb].[dbo].[xlaANLsubscribers] (
[subscriberid] int NOT NULL,
[pwd] varchar(255),
[name] varchar(255),
[deliveryformat] int,
[email] varchar(255),
[gender] varchar(255),
[phone] varchar(255),
[country] varchar(255),
[city] varchar(255),
[state] varchar(255),
[zip] varchar(255),
[address] varchar(1000),
[dateregistered] varchar(50),
[bounces] int
)
What I'd like to do for example, is exclude the first 5,000 rows, and import the rest.
Should I be using something other than DTSWizard, and it there something that can be added to the statement above telling it to start at a specified row?
This is probably fairly simple, but I'm new at this and I'd sure appreciate the help.
Thanks,

I am trying to show aggregate information in a grouping and report footer. The details section has a filter applied successfully. For example, if there are three records and one should be filtered out, then only two display. However, the count function returns 3 instead of the desired 2. I have tried to set the scope parameter to body, the table name and every group name on the report. Either this has no effect or returns an error message stating that the appropriate scope isn't applied.
Does anyone know how to perform aggregate functions and exclude the filtered rows?
Thanks,

I have already seen stored procedures that can calculate a difference in dates, excluding the weekends. Any extension of such a SQL query to exclude not only weekends, but other dates as well. We have a table of "holidays" (not necessarily standard holidays), and I am wondering if there is a way to exclude them from the calculation.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write an algorithm that returns the most recent and longest consecutive streak of positive or negative price changes in a given stock. The streak can extend over null weekends, but not over null weekdays (presumably trading days).
For example, lets say Google had end of day positive returns on (any given) Tuesday, Monday, and previous Friday, but then Thursday, it had negative returns. That would be a 3 day streak between Friday and Tuesday. Also, if a date has a null value on a date that is NOT a weekend, the streak ends.
In the following code sample, you can get a simplified idea of what the raw data will look like and what the output should look like.
set nocount on
set datefirst 7
go
if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#raw') is not null drop table #raw
create table #raw

I should also mention that this has to be done over about half a million symbols so something RBAR is especially unappealing.

Uknown Member is set to "Uknown" in the cube . This cannot be changed because it needs to be visible in other applications. However, in my particular MDX I want to create a custom set that excludes this member.
WITHSET setNoUnknowns as EXCLUDE( [Dim].[Hierarchy].CHILDREN, { [Dim].[Hierarchy].UNKNOWNMEMBER } )SELECT{[Measure].[MeasureName]} on COLUMNS,setNoUnknowns on ROWSFROM [Cube]
With the above MDX, I still get a return for member "Unknown". I've confirmed that there isn't an explicit member name of "Unknown".Excluding [Dim].[Hierarchy].[Unknown] does not work either.
