Parsing Address

Parsing Address
This is not really a reply, but I saw the problem and the replies look very promissing.
I'm using ss2k, I have a table with an address column.
here is some example of the records under ADDRESS :

WILLOW CREEK PL
RED BARN DR
RED BARN DR
CARRINGTON DR
RENNER RD
EDMONTON CT
SPRINGBRANCH DR
HILLROSE DR
CEDAR RIDGE DR
LARTAN TRL
PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH HWY

What I want to do is to write script that runs daily and parse the street names (RED BARN) and street types (Dr, PL , etc.. ) to 2 colums. As u can see there is no fixed length or fixed number of words ...etc ...
Any help would be really appreciated.

XML Parsing

Jul 24, 2002

I am trying to process an XML document that contains the attribute 'from_x'. However an openxml query can't seem to find any column with a '_x' suffix. For example if I were to execute the following fragment:

declare @hDoc int, @Message varchar(200)
select @Message = '<BACK_FM from_x="12"></BACK_FM>'
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, @Message
select from_x from openxml(@hDoc, 'BACK_FM',1) with (from_x int)

I get back a null value from the openxml query. Attribute names 'fromx' and 'from_y' work ok but nothing I have tried with a trailing '_x' will work.

Does anyone know if this is a known SQL Server bug? Is it a bug at all or something about XML that I don't know about?

Thanks,
Wayne King

Parsing

Aug 13, 2001

I need to figure out how to parse a comma separated value.

Lets say I have a variable equal to a comma separated list.

SET @Variable = '045, 032, 025, 653'

I need to create a dynamic sql string to look like:

SET @Variable = ''' + '045' + ''' + ',' + ''' + '032' + ''' + ',' etc...

Can someone teach me a optimized query to do this?

Thanks

Anyone Know About Parsing An Email?

Mar 20, 2006

Hello everyone

Heres what it looks like:

I have a large file of over 40k email records. The emails are all mixed up and come in various formats but i noticed that most of them are in this format:

firstname.lastname@email.com
firstname.middlename.lastname@email.com

For all those emails with the period (.) in between, the (.) actually separates an individuals first and last name.

My task is this, to separate all the emails that are in this format into first and last name fields. I'm stimped folks and I'll really appreciate any pointers or ideas on how to go about solving this task.

Thanks

Pls advise

Table1 includes a column for email address. I'd like to parse everything up to 8 chars before the '@' symbol in this column. My script doesn't appear to be working, and I'd appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting it!

select substring(UPPER(substring(email,1,charindex('@',email)-1)),1,8)
from table1

The error produced is;

Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.

What am I doing wrong? The logic in the script looks good to me...

Formula Parsing

Jan 26, 2006

Hi,I have three tables in the following structure (simplified):Table 1: Containing the customers-------------------------------------------------create table Customers([cusID] int identity(1, 1) not null,[cusName] varchar(25) not null)Table 2: Containing the customer data fields---------------------------------------------------------------create table Data([datID] int identity(1, 1) not null,[datName] varchar(25) not null,[datFormula] varchar(1500))Table 3: Containing the customer data values-----------------------------------------------------------------create table Values([cusID] int not null,[datID] int not null,[valValue] sql_variant)In this structure the user can add as many data fields to a customer ashe wants (e.g. Country, City, Email, Phone, ...). I have added triggerswhich create a view similar to a pivot (I am working in SQL 2000) andadd triggers to the view so it is insertable, deletable and updateable.What I would like to do, is allow the user to create new fields wherethe values are based upon a calculation. This calculation would be donethrough a formula similar to what he would do e.g. in excel (thisformula is stored in the dimFormula field then).An example might help. Let's assume the user created a field 'Sales'(containing last year's sales) and 'Invoices' (containing the number ofinvoices that were created for him last year). Now, he wants to createa field 'AvgSales' with the formula '[Sales]/[Invoices]'.(Note that through adding these data fields, the above view was created(let's assume it is called vw_Customers and contains the columns [ID],[Name], [Sales], [Invoices], [AvgSales]).What I am looking for is a function which can parse this formula into at_sql query which runs the calculation. So, the formula'[Sales]/[Invoices]' would be translated into (let's assume there areno records with NULL or zero invoices):update vw_Customersset [AvgSales] = [Sales]/[Invoices]from vw_CustomersI am able to do the above with simple calculations (where you can evenuse sql functions e.g. year, len, ...). Now I would like to take thisone step forward into the possibility of using functions with morevariables.For example. Let's assume, the user wants to add a rating (field called'Rating') to his customers based upon the result of 'AvgSales. Heenters the formula 'if([AvgSales] > 2500, 'A', 'B')'.If anyone could help me on this, I would be very grateful. Thanks.M

Parsing RTF File

Dec 3, 2007

Hi:

I need to parse an regularly outputted rtf file and was wondering if it is possible in SSIS. I am trying to use the flat file connection manager to do this.

Now, I can't treat tab stops in an rtf like tab stops in a csv, since when you treat an rtf as a text file, you see the format code of the rtf. If I open the rtf in a text editor, the entire file is one line, with lines breaking with:

par}

Columns are tab delimited in the rtf, and they look like this when you treat the rtf as a text file.

plain abfs16f4cf0cb1

(or something like that, the word "tab" is the important part.)

So I use the "plain ab" part to delimit in SSIS, since that is consistent (planning to parse out all the garbage later on). The problem is, sometimes lines don't have a "city" and "state", so it "tabs" right over to the next field. So like this (looking in MS Word):

Phone <tab> City <tab> State <tab> Date <tab> Other fields.....
847-111-2222 <tab> Omaha <tab> NB <tab> 9/14/2007 <tab>
222-222-3333 <tab> 9/14/2007 <tab>
555-121-1212 <tab> Houston <tab> TX <tab> 9/14/2007 <tab>

Now, if you treat an RTF as a text file, it has only one "plain abfs16f4cf0cb1" after the phone number, so even for the missing line there is only one tab, not 3. This is because in the beginning of the row tabs for each row are defined like this:

tql x90 ql x840 ql....etc...

with "tql" and "tx" tags basically saying where all the tab stops are for that row. So for the row above with missing info, it lists fewer tab stops. So the "date" (and associated garbage) ends up under "City" for this row. All of the "Houston" row's data starts appearing in the sql server output table's 2nd last field, as you might expect.

Any suggestions how to pull this in in SSIS during the transformation? I could deal with it after I pull it in, I still have all the data. I'm thinking the logic to do this could be complicated though. I take the data out of the last two fields of the missing row into some other table, use UPDATES to shift the values 2 fields to the right, and then figure out a way to take the data I just put in a temp table back in, but it all sounds a bit complicated.

Let me know if this makes sense--I've almost got it going, I just need to sort this last bit out.

Thanks,
Kayda

T-sql String Parsing

I have a series of strings (field name FullName) in a table (FullNames) that look like this:

FullNames

--------------

macdonald, ronald

Doe, John

I need to extract the first and last names. Here's my code:

select substring (fullname, 1, patindex( '%,%', fullname)-1) + ' ' +

substring (fullname, patindex( '%,%', fullname)+1, len(fullname) ) from FullNames

I hate having to use patindex twice in the same SELECT. Is there any way around this?

Having never used SQL for anything serious I have been asked to look at importing multiple data files into a database and have come to a dead stop.

TSQL Parsing

Jan 9, 2008

Hello,

I've got a third party application that stores information as such

EntryNo Source
139633 "113";"0";"DOC001";"";"0";"10000"

and I've been trying to figure out to parse out the Source field so that each value delimited by the semi-colon is shown as a separate column such that the output would look like:

No Qty Documnet Qty Item
113 0 DOC001 0 10000

I know how to do this through vb or even vbscript and just parse the Source value onto itself until no more semi-colons exist but how can I achieve that in SQL?

Thanks,

Ian
