Parsing Character Strings In A Stored Procedure
Jul 11, 2001
Hi guys,
I'm trying to parse a character string in a stored procedure but I'm not sure how to do it. For example:
-------------------------------
create procedure sp_test (
@fld varchar(1000)
)
AS
???
???
.
.
.
.
----------------------------------
sp_test '123:abc,456:def,789:ghi'
I need to put 123 into a seperate local variable, abc into a local variable, and so on...
What would be the best function to use?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I have a varchar field that contains answers to questions separated by commas. Say there are 4 questions for each user. Here is an example of what the table would look like:
User Answer
1 Good,Fair,Good,Bad
2 Bad,Good,Good,Good
3 Fair,Good,Bad,Fair
I need to write a stored procedure to report off of that separates the Answer field into 4 different columns. How can this be achieved? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I have this SP and can't get it to work on my SQL2000 server. I just can't seem to figure out what syntax error I am making.
(This works on my test SQL2005 server)
Truncate Table [SecurityEvents_Temp]
Insert Into SecurityEvents_Temp (
[BankNumber],
[UserName],
[DomainName],
[EventLog],
[RecordNumber],
[TimeGenerated],
[TimeWritten],
[EventID],
[EventType],
[EventTypeName],
[EventCategory],
[EventCategoryName],
[SourceName],
[Strings],
[ComputerName],
[SID],
[Message],
[Data]
)
Select
[BankNumber] = '001',
[UserName] = (Select [Value] From [dbo].[fn_Split]([Strings],'|') where idx = 3)
[DomainName] = (Select [Value] From [dbo].[fn_Split]([Strings],'|') where idx = 4),
[SecurityEvents].*
FROM [SecurityEvents]
JOIN [EventsToLog] on [SecurityEvents].[EventID] = [EventsToLog].[EventID]
WHERE [SID] NOT LIKE 'S-%'
Query Output:
quote:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 28
Line 28: Incorrect syntax near 'Strings'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 30
Line 30: Incorrect syntax near 'Strings'.
Thank You,

I have to parse a sentence into separate words. This has to be done in a Stored Proc.
If the sentence is: "The sun is rising". Then I want to store the words "The" "sun" "is" "rising" into 4 separate variables. (The separator is a space).
Has someone already written something like this before? I do not want to re-invent the wheel.
Thankx.

Hi All,
I wanted to make a .NET wrapper class that parses a database for a given stored procedure, and finds the name and type of each of it's parameters.
to do so, i need to do the following:
normally, you have a stored procedure and you know its parameters and their types (i.e. int, varchar, etc), based on that, you hard code a call for this storedprocedure on your backend code.
I want to make a wrapper class that goes and finds out what the parameters for an existing stored procedure are, and based on them, create a GUI that allows people to fill them. after people fill this Form out, and click submit, i generate the proper procedure call.
this would basically allow me to create a single class that i can just call to create a form for any given storedprocedure...
thanks
Cheers!

Hi everyone,
Thanks in advance for reading my mail. I have a query that returns a column consisting of numbers. However the numbers are all in String format so when I get the max value it returns the one with the largest first digit.
e.g. if it returned the values '5','7','9','20' and ordered them it would return 9 as the max value. Is there anyway to parse these to ints and then get the max.

Hi,
I am trying to cast the parameter returned from the stored procedure to an int32 type. But it is giving me an error message as " Input string is not in the correct format "
my code is
int valid = Int32.Parse(command.Parameters["@Valid"].Value.ToString());
the @Valid parameter is an output parameter and is declared as int in the stored procedure.... the command is a DbCommand object
does anyone have an idea why this error is happening.

I'm running into a couple of performance issues with regards to the parsing of a text string. We have a function that will take a comma delimited character string, parse out the individual values, and then populate a temp table with those values. The two issues are 1.) the parsing process is VERY slow and 2.) there's a max to how large the string can be - at some point it could easily be 8000 characters or more in length.
Here are the function and the stored procedure wher eit occurs:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Split](@String varchar(MAX), @Delimiter char(1))
RETURNS @Results TABLE (Item nvarchar(4000))
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @INDEX INT
DECLARE @SLICE nvarchar(4000)
-- HAVE TO SET TO 1 SO IT DOESNT EQUAL Z
-- ERO FIRST TIME IN LOOP
SELECT @INDEX = 1
WHILE @INDEX !=0
BEGIN
-- GET THE INDEX OF THE FIRST OCCURENCE OF THE SPLIT CHARACTER
SELECT @INDEX = CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@STRING)
-- NOW PUSH EVERYTHING TO THE LEFT OF IT INTO THE SLICE VARIABLE
IF @INDEX !=0
SELECT @SLICE = LEFT(@STRING,@INDEX - 1)
ELSE
SELECT @SLICE = @STRING
-- PUT THE ITEM INTO THE RESULTS SET
INSERT INTO @Results(Item) VALUES(@SLICE)
-- CHOP THE ITEM REMOVED OFF THE MAIN STRING
SELECT @STRING = RIGHT(@STRING,LEN(@STRING) - @INDEX)
-- BREAK OUT IF WE ARE DONE
IF LEN(@STRING) = 0 BREAK
END
RETURN

Basically I have two strings. Both strings will contain similar data because the 2nd string is the first string after an update of the first string takes place. Both strings are returned in my Stored Procedure
For example:String1 = "Here is some data. lets type some more data"String2 = "Here's some data. Lets type some data here"I would want to change string2 (inside my Stored Procedure) to show the changed/added text highlighted and the deleted text with a strike though.
So I would want string2 to look like thisstring2 = "Here<font color = "#00FF00">'s</font> <strike>is</strike> some data. <font color = "#00FF00">L</font>ets type some <strike>more</strike> data <font color = "#00FF00">here</font>"
Is there an way to accomplish this inside a stored procedure?

Well, I managed to write a Stored procedure that updates some records in the Northwind Database based on the ProductIDs passed to the SP as a list of strings. This is the Alter version of the SP:USE [Northwind]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[gv_sp_UpdatePOs] Script Date: 06/10/2007 12:07:54 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROC [dbo].[gv_sp_UpdatePOs]
(
@IDList varchar(500),
@ReorderLevel int,
@ProductName nvarchar(30)
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
EXEC('Update dbo.Products
SET ReorderLevel = (' + @ReorderLevel + ') ,ProductName = (''' + @ProductName + ''')
WHERE ProductID IN (' + @IDList + ')')
END
----------------------
THis works fine inside Sql Server 2005 Query analyser.
But when I setup an aspx page with an objectDataSource inside the page attached to an xsd file where the Products table is located. When I try to add new query to the tableadapter inside the Products table and point to the stored procedure in the wizard I get this error: " the wizard detected the following problems when configuring TableAdapter query "Products" Details: Generated SELECT statement. Incorrect suntax near ')'.
Any help would be appreciated
And can someone convert it to support XML instead of list of strings. thanks.

hi all,
I want to know that how can i write a stored procedure that takes an input param, i.e., a string and returns the count of the matching words between the input parameter and the value of a column in a table. e.g. I have a table Person with a column address. now my stored procedure matches and counts the number of words that are common between the address of the person and the input param string. I am looking forward for any help in this matter. I am using Sql server 2005.

Hi.
I need some help with the following sp that I created on a SQL2000 server
CREATE Procedure Users_Authenticate
@account varchar(50),
@password varchar(24)
AS
Select * From Users
Where account = @account
And password = @password
GO
When calling this sp from my app (VS2005) it works fine for most passwords. However it fails if the password contains a plus sign e.g. tXke4572Wd+IbRmjmcGexw==
If I use a View to test this password then the password is split up as 'tXke4572Wd' + 'IbRmjmcGexw=='
I assume that SQL server does the splitting but correct me if I'm wrong.
How can I get this sp to work with passwords containing plus signs (or any other characters).
Cheers,
Frank

All of a sudden hen I script out a Stored Procedure it encloses strings (edit) in Double Quotes?
For example ANDPromo.[Group] IN (''FL_Small'',''FL_Large'')
Also it generates this code that I do not want. I just was Create Procedure...
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[usp_IncentiveReport]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
BEGIN
EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @statement = N'

Greetings,
I have a problem that I'm not sure how to handle. In the application I am working on I will be importing fixed length strings from a CD into the database. Each specific character in the string represents some value.
I can't decide if I should just create a single field of 895 characters or create 895 single character fields. When I need data from the database I won't need all 895 characters of information, I'll only need one or a small subset of values.
Does it really matter which approach I take?
Thanks in advance for any advice/tips you can provide.

Say i have a COLUMN name varchar(20)
NAME:
----
john
john/a
john/b
john/a/a
------
I want to find the LONGEST NAME in the column and I am trying to use
: Select MAX(name) from tablename
SQL 2000 gives the max as per alphabetical order and in the above example the MAX is john/b
IS there any direct SQL statement to get the MAX name where MAX refers to the LONGEST in terms of length .
I have been able to do it with 2 sql statements where i first find the longest length and then give a query where i match the length..But is there any simpler way??

Hello,
How bad is normalizing the database to the 3rd form, which requires that all fields depend on nothing but primary key. Consider the first table you create -- users. They have int primary keys, which duplicate the real primary keys -- user names. When user logs in, the user's entry is uniquely identified by its name, which is not primary key. The fundamental design rule -- avoid redundancy -- is violated. A VERY serious reason should be there for that.
Usually, design is compromised by redundancy for performance. Here, both copies are stored in one remote database, but integer keys may be located/used faster. Additionally, using long string references everywhere instead of short integer keys may save a lot of storage space (additionally increasing speed). How serious these impacts are? Am I missing something?
Usually, login names are not allowed to change. You have problems changing primary keys because all the foreign keys must be updated accordingly. Does it reveal that most user databases use character strings as primary keys?

hi all,
I have a stored procedure with a input parameter ( xml block).
sp: spGetAddr @xmlText
the style of parameter @xmlText looks like
<Param RestricBy="UserName IN ('Mayá', 'Bob')"/>
If I use non-basic ASCII character, just like 'á' in the parameter, the execution fails and I get 'The error description is 'An invalid character was found in text content.''
But this kind of special characters should be allowed in the name column of the database table.
If I use the htlm code 'á" to replace 'á' in the parameter, then the execution of the stored procedure is fine. but how can I change all of the possible sepcial characters?
If somebody knows how to handle this issue, please help me. I'm pre-appreciated for all the idea and suggestion!
Thanks,
Jone

it's like this, i have a temporary table such as
create table temp_table (str varchar(50))
and i have a data table
create table data_table (str varchar(20))
now i import my data(in which there is some corrupted lines) into the temporary table, they should be all ansi-character strings and no more than 20 characters, but now some wrong datas in which there are wide-characters are mixed in. as the result of these wide-characters, the corrupted strings each takes over 20 bytes, but i can't filter them out, as when i enter in "len(str)", the sql server returns character counts, instead of byte counts, i thought this should only happen when i was using a unicode date type!(e.g. nvarchar). but now the server also behaves like this on those ansi date types. it seems all string manipulating functions refering string length behaves like this.
so when i am trying to run:
insert into data_table select str from temp_table where len(str) <= 20
or
insert into data_table select left(str,20) from temp_table
it will always end up with a string truncating error
String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated
So now my problem is how to get the count of byte, but character, of a string containing wide-characters?
i'm using sql server 2005 standard version with sp2

I've got a number of stored procedures that I have for reporting
All are of a similar starting format
For easier maintenance and to take away the need to change all of them if the methodology changes I want to split out shared code.
What I want to do is to take out the part that populates the @ID1 table into a separate stored proc which will be called from the report procs. The values from the shared proc will then be parsed back to the reporting proc.
I thought about using a function but I don't think it will be flexible enough as in certain cases I want to parse 2 or more IDs back into the final output.
I also don't want to make the code too complex so that it is relatively easy to read
CREATE PROC dbo.ReportM1 @ID INT AS
DECLARE
@ID1 TABLE (ID INT PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE(ID))
IF @ID = 0
INSERT INTO @ID1
[Code] ....
The first question I have is: can i do it with a table variable when going between procs or do i need to build a real table if i want it to maintain the logic in 1 place.
May be worth bearing in mind that the end user who will be executing the proc will only have read + execute stored proc access permissions so dropping, updating or creating real tables is not an option. #Temp tables are possible but since am using table variables throughout would prefer to stick with them.

I'm new to SSRS (We are using SQL 2014) and have been asked to create a report from SharePoint list data. One of the columns in my list contains XML data. I need to pull three different fields from this XML. I see lots on using xml as a datasource but I'm using a SharePoint list as my datasource. Before I get too far down the wrong road I thought I'd ask here if there was a built in means of parsing XML or if I should look at using the Text Function under Common Functions in the Epression builder?

Hi all,
If I have a query string that is to be stored in a database, for example
Code:
SELECT prod_id, prod_name, prod_desc FROM products WHERE prod_id = 'variable'
how can I put a variable identifier into this string so that when I need to run the query I call it from the database and simply insert the relevant variable in the correct place.
Is there an appropriate way of doing this in MS SQL Server?
Thanks
Tryst

Hey, i have multiple search strings and I don't want to keep track of the search strings in SQL format.
As in, i don't want to do this anymore:
Select *
From tbl_Name
where FirstName = 'John' or
FirstName = 'Mike' or
FirstName Like 'Jen%' or
...
and the list continues for at least a 100...
what i want to do is store all the search values in a table and then join on that table as a search...
Create Table as tbl_SearchValues
[FirstName] as Varchar(50)
Insert Table tbl_SearchValues values ('John', 'Mike', 'Jen%')
Select *
From tbl_name n Join tbl_SearchValues s
on n.FirstName Like s.FirstName
This doesn't work cause I tried it... but does anyone know a different workaround??

I'm keeping in the database a log of all the sessions for myapplication. I'm trying to write a stored procedure that returns allthe sessions that; the login contains a certain string, loggedin aftera certain datetime and loggedout before another datetime. Anycombination of these parameters can be used and, if none, returns allthe log.Below is the code I came up with but I'm having a "Syntax errorconverting datetime from character string" exception. When not usingDateTime parameters everything works fine. Can you tell me how can Iavoid this exception? Thanks in advance...ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.RetrieveAllSessionHistoryItemsContaining(@Pattern Varchar(255),@From DateTime,@To DateTime)ASDECLARE @Query VARCHAR(500)SET @Query = 'SELECT * FROM SessionHistoryItems, Sessions WHERESessionHistoryItems.SessionId = Sessions.SessionId'DECLARE @conditions nvarchar(257)SET @conditions = '';IF LEN(@Pattern) > 0 BEGINSET @conditions = @conditions + ' Sessions.Login LIKE ''%' + @Pattern+ '%'''ENDIF @From IS NOT NULL BEGINIF LEN(@conditions) > 0 BEGINSET @conditions = @conditions + ' AND 'ENDSET @conditions = @conditions + ' SessionHistoryItems.LoggedOutAt >=' + @FromENDIF @To IS NOT NULL BEGINIF LEN(@conditions) > 0 BEGINSET @conditions = @conditions + ' AND 'ENDSET @conditions = @conditions + ' SessionHistoryItems.LoggedInAt <= '+ @ToENDIF LEN(@conditions) > 0 BEGINEXEC(@Query + ' AND ' + @conditions)ENDELSE BEGINEXEC(@Query)ENDRETURN

Hi all - I'm trying to optimized my stored procedures to be a bit easier to maintain, and am sure this is possible, not am very unclear on the syntax to doing this correctly. For example, I have a simple stored procedure that takes a string as a parameter, and returns its resolved index that corresponds to a record in my database. ie
exec dbo.DeriveStatusID 'Created'
returns an int value as 1
(performed by "SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName= 'Created')
but I also have a second stored procedure that needs to make reference to this procedure first, in order to resolve an id - ie:
exec dbo.AddProduct_Insert 'widget1'
which currently performs:SET @statusID = (SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName='Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID)
I want to simply the insert to perform (in one sproc):
SET @statusID = EXEC deriveStatusID ('Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID)
This works fine if I call this stored procedure in code first, then pass it to the second stored procedure, but NOT if it is reference in the second stored procedure directly (I end up with an empty value for @statusID in this example).
My actual "Insert" stored procedures are far more complicated, but I am working towards lightening the business logic in my application ( it shouldn't have to pre-vet the data prior to executing a valid insert).
Hopefully this makes some sense - it doesn't seem right to me that this is impossible, and am fairly sure I'm just missing some simple syntax - can anyone assist?

I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.
I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.
This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:
select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +
case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +
case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String
from new_database
The output would be
Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/
So far, nothing I have tried has worked.
Any ideas?
