what I want to achieve is to load a text file that has email addreses from disk and using the email addresses in the text file look it up against the email addresses in the database table then once matched delete all the users in the table whose email address were in the text file.
I also want to update some users using a different text file.
Is there a way to export a list of email addresses to outlook based on certain query conditions? So for example, lets say using pubs, I want to send out an email to a group of authors who have published only one book. So could I essentailly query for the authors and then have those corresponding authors emails sent to outlook so that I could send out a generic email asking them if they are going to write another book or something like that?
Hi all, I'm having a bit of an issue with this query. I'm not that familiar with MS SQL so please forgive me. I'm trying to select the bad email addresses in a table so I can remove them or correct them but I'm not getting any results that are helpfull. Bellow are some of the queries I've tried
select email from person where email != "*@*" returned all addresses plus null fields.
select email from person where email not like "%@%" (this didn't work at all)
And a few other that are similar Could somebody please kick me in the right direction.
I have dumped html in a table and am looking to extract email addresses from it. Within the html, the email addresses are followed and preceded by blank spaces. I am playing around with the following code:
SELECT RIGHT(@email, LEN(@email) - CHARINDEX('@', @email)) as Domain
but have been unable to extract whole email addresses.
Hope someone can help... I need a function to parse a string using a beginning character parameter and an ending character parameter and extract what is between them. For example.....
Here is the sample string: MFD-2fdr4.zip
CREATE FUNCTION Parse(String, '-' , '.') ..... .... ..... END
I've the following query. I'm using the yellow highlighted to join 2 tables, as these tables dont have a relationship between them. The format of the name field is 'AAAA-BBBBBB-123' here A will be only 4 chars, followed by '-' B can be any number of chars again followed by '-' and the last is the id which I'm using to do a join. This query will fail if the id is just 1 digit as its taking the last 3 chars as the id. I dont know how to get the id from the right using charindex. Charindex would search for the first occurence of '-' from the right and get the chars after hypen i.e 123. How can this be achieved?
SELECT id AS 'ID', name AS 'name', sequence AS 'num' FROM FirstTable A INNER JOIN SecondTable q ON (CONVERT(INT,RIGHT(name,3))= a.id) INNER JOIN ThridTable t ON(t.id = q.id) INNER JOIN FourthTable s ON (q.name = s.name ) WHERE A.id = @ID AND t.name=LEFT(s.name,((CHARINDEX('-',s.name))-1)) ORDER BY 'ID','num'
One more question on this is: Is this a good way of joining tables? If I dont use this I've a very large query containing unions. Which one should be bug-free and more efficient?
This view is then going to be used to update a table with only one record for each 'code'. i.e. NewTable = code, add1, add2, city, prov, postal, financialvalue, history value1, history value2
My current stumbling block is:
One of the fields in table1 is a free format address field (address). eg. could be (street addres, city prov, postal) or could be (street address 1, address2, address 3, city prov, postal)
I want to be able to assign individual components of the address to corresponding fields
if # of commas = 2 then address1 = substring(address,1, position of first comma) cityprov = substring(address,possition of first comma, position of second comman) postal = substring(address rest of field)
I have a UDF which returns the number of commas but I cannot figure out how to use either a nested case statement to parse the string...
ANy ideas on how best to accompish this? ( this table is needed for some leacy software which can only handle one record with all infor....
Hello All,I'm trying to parse for a numeric string from a column in a table. WhatI'm looking for is a numeric string of a fixed length of 8.The column is a comments field and can contain the numeric string inany positionHere's an example of the values in the column1) Fri KX 3-21-98 5:48 P.M. arrival Cxled ATRI #27068935 3-17-982) wed.kx10/26 Netrez 95860536Now I need to parse through these lines and return only the 8 digitnumbers in itThe result set should be2706893595860536This is what I've done so farDeclare @tmp table(Comments_Txt varchar(255))Insert into @tmpselect Comments_Txt from Reservationselect * FROM @tmp where Comments_Txtlike ('%[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0**9]%')But it returns the entire comments field in the result set.

I have two tables:tb_news---story_id-productlisttb_lookup---story_id-productwhen an insert command is run on tb_news, productlist field ispopulated with a value such as 'abc, def, de'when this happens, i need tb_lookup to be populated with seperaterecords for each product in productlist and the story_id from tb_news.Example:INSERT INTO tb_news (story_id, product_list)VALUES (12345, 'abc, def, de')Results:tb_news--12345, 'abc, def, de'tb_lookup--12345, 'abc'12345, 'def'12345, 'de'Ideally, I would like this to use recursion and give me tha ability tochange the delimiter at any time (might not always be a comma). someproducts may have a period in them. number of products is unknown andmight be 0 (field may be empty or NULL).
Hi,I would like to parse out each value that is seperatedby a comma in a field and use that value to join to another table.What would be the easiest way to do so without having towrite a function or routine ?EX.Table AAACOL1 COL21 11, 124, 1562 11, 505, 600, 700, ...Table BBBCOL1 COL211 Desc11124 Desc124156 Desc 156
Any way to parse out a text value (not varChar, using text data type) that is > than 8000 characters long? I'm looping through 1 big string passed to the DB that is pipe delimited, but I find myself needing the substring function to keep track of which segment I'm acting on (after an update, I then need to take that segment and remove it from the string)...but the subString function won't take anything larger than 8000 chars.
Say I have this string that is text data type...
'aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|....'
..and so on, surpassing 8000 char length, how could you parse it out using the pipes as the delimter, then do an Update using that segment? Afterward, return to that string and find the next segment, then use it, and so on (in a loop). I tried using an update to set the string = replace(string, segmentJustUsed, '') to "erase" it, but replace can't take text as the datatype. Any help? Hope this isn't to confusing.
SP to parse a delimited string and insert the result in a table. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. I have 2 tables - RawData & WIP. I have Robots on a manufacturing line capable of moving data to a DB. I move the raw data to RawData. On insert [RawData], I want to parse the string and move the contents to WIP as indicated below. I will run reports against the WIP Table.
Also, after the string is parsed, I'd like to change the Archive column, the _0 at the end of the raw string to 1 in the WIP table to indicate a successful parse.

I am trying to erase some erroneous bad data in my table. The description column has a lot of </div>oqwiroiweuru</a> weird data attached to it, i want to keep the data to the left of where the </div> erroneous data begins
update MyTable set Description = LEFT(Description(CHARINDEX('<',Description)-1)) where myid = 1
that totally works.
update MyTable set Description = LEFT(Description(CHARINDEX('<',Description)-1)) where myid >= 2
gives me a Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function. The statement has been terminated error.
I'm trying to connect to a local instance of SQL Server using an IP address and its not working. When I looked up the connect string, it shows only the IP address replacing the Server name, not the instance name, i.e. Server=127.0.0.1 - how does it know which instance to use? Can I use the 127.0.0.1 loopback address for the server (as its on a local machine)? Do I have to use 'Network Library = DBMSSOCN' to tell the client to use TCP/IP? (TCP/IP is showing as an enabled protocol in the Client Network Utility)
I need to allow for many addresses in my database for each client that is entered. I'm looking for suggestions on how I should handle this. I will need to do mailings to the clients and will need a way to select the address record that the client indicates as the mailing place.
A quick question for you all, We will be changing the IP address of our SQL 7's server sometime next week. Does any1 know of any issues/problems that could occur if we do so?
I got got a pile of bad email addresses to update in our SQL database.I know how to do this for individual records using the update command.Is there a way to execute an update using the list of addresses in anexcel spreadsheet or some other form of list? This kind of scriptingis new territory for me.
I want to replicate between 2 servers not on the same network. One has to be addressed by IP. Currently replication does not support IPs - anyone have a workaround. Will this be resolved in the future? Seems this is a pretty common scenario if your db is on a hosted site.
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I need to replicate some tables from our store servers to our corporate server. All of them are 6.5, and the corporate server will subscribe and the stores will publish. I have registered all of our stores on the corporate server so that I can enable them for replication.
The problem is that to be able to register them I had to create a system DSN for ODBC, but that would only work if I used the IP addresses. Unfortunately, then when I try to enable them on the corporate server I get an error stating that name (which is the IP address) is not a valid object identifier.
In ODBC I did actually use a real name (not an IP) for the name, a normal description, and the IP is in the Server field. Is there some way to use an alias? What am I doing wrong?
Below is a raw data with SQL script to create the temp table. This table is a scale down version of what I am working with. I am taking the addresses from several different sources and putting them in a temp table. Now, I need to remove the duplicate addresses for each ID. Duplicate addresses are okay for different IDs.

We will be moving our two cluster running SQL Server 2005 64-bit SP2 on Windows 2003 to the different datacenter. IP addressed of both nodes will be changed by DNS names remain the same. I was wondering if anyone had issues with this. Out thought is that we just need to update IPs in Cluster Manager.
I have a report with a Matrix table. When it€™s fully populated I have 5 rows. These rows are different categories in a CRM system. In these categories there are a lot of Opportunities listed. The thing here is that category 1-4 exist in one table, really a view, and category 5 exist in another different view. So to gather all the information into one single Matrix table to later have subtotals and stuff I just made a little Union of the two select queries.
Now one the column in the table is of course Topic. And from here my client wants to be linked to the right CRM card. The problem I have encountered is that how can I have to different addresses on one single cell in the table?
In the Navigation pane in the cell that corresponds to the Topic, for now I have an address like this: =string.Format("http://{0}/SFA/opps/edit.aspx?id={1}", Parameters!srv.Value, Fields!objectid.Value)
What I need to change when it€™s a category 5 Opportunity is €œopps€? to €œcat5€?and add €œ&etc=10008€? to the end of the address. Any ideas?
PS. {0} and {1} are parameters, one server parameter and one opportunity ID parameter.
I read with great interest a post on getting hte top 75 per cent by month, but still get through this problem. I have a table containing addresses, city names and state names, Each row has a unique address. I want to get the first ten addresses for each city in each state. I've tried something like the following which didn't work. Suggestions on how to solve the (simple) problem would be appreciated. Select top (10) city,state,address from address_list alan
When I initially installed SQL Server 2005 Express, it automatically picked up all the IP addresses (60 of them) I had on the server, and filled them in under TCP/IP - IP adresses Tab.
I recently took those IPs off the server and replaced them with 30 new IP addresses. Is there a way to have SQL Server 2005 Express read the Network configuration on the server and take the old IPs off the TCP/IP - IP addresses tab and put the new one's there?
A client of mine has an update to the software they use which requires SQL ports to be pinholed on the router to allow direct connctions from point of sale terminals. I'm not happy with the idea but thats not my call. Is there a way to restrict IP addresses that can connect to SQL Express ? (without havng to get them to buy a new router)
I have a report that gets sends out through a subscription and sometimes the report has multiple pages and all those pages appear within one email.Is it possible to set the subscription in such a way that an email is sent per page when the subscription executes.
Under IIS SMTP I can set bounced email redirect etc. how to do that with dbmail, the idea is I can get the list of bounced emails somewhere so I can create a report.
I have several 64 bit SQL 2005 servers that up to 4 named instances residing on them. Before going into production I need to change the port addressing to use fixed TCP ports. I have SQL Browser running to enbale me to see the named instances.
What steps are required to change to using specific TCP port addresses and is there a particular range to use ?
