I assume a SS# or Phone# should be either a varchar or char field. But
is it a good idea to store a phone# or SS# w/ seperator characters or
without them?
Phone# "(123)-456-7890" or "1234567890"
SS# "123-45-6789" or "123456789"
I'm not sure which is better. Any opinions? Also has anyone had a
situation where a phone# could have an extension? How was it handled?
Seperate field or just one?
Any input appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
I'm trying to create a case function for home phone ,work phone and cell phone. The thing is some of the home phone numbers either null, zero or less than 10 digits then i'd like to get either cell phone or work phone if they are not null, zero or less than 10 digits.
I'd appreciate it if you could help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
SQL Database with column cell-phone formatted 1234567890. I want to display it (123) 456-7890. I use the following to display it as 1234567890:
<%# Directory.FieldValue("cell_phone", Container) %>
I tried the following code but get a formatting error:
<%# Double.Parse(Directory.FieldValue("cell_phone", Container)).ToString("(###) ###-####") %>
What stupid error am I making?
I have 2 tables with different phone field format. Looks like below:
TableA
field name area
record 111
and field name phone
record 2223333
TableB
field name Phone
record (111) 222-3333 *
*with a space between (111) and 222
I want to transfer tableA (area+phone) field to tableB phone field and transfer tableB phone field to tableA area field and phone field.
Anybody can help me to finish it? Thank you very much!!!
In my report I am combing 2 fields as
=Fields!PROPERTY.Value & " - " & Fields!PHONE.Value
this results in PropertyName - 5555551212
How would I add in formatting for phone so my resulting display is (555) 555-1212?

Hi all,
i have a table in SQL with +- 5000 phone numbers in various styles
e.g.

033 2981861
+31 (0)30 602 44 44
03.28.68.63.18

I want this to convert to international format like this
003237778899

Do i have to write 10 replace after each other or is there an easier way to format the phone numbers?
Thx in advance!!
Hello,
I have a phone number field with the format (123)-456-7890 I need to convert this to 1234567890 formats while I am retrieving data from the table. How can I do this?
What is the simplest way to format the 10 digit numeric string that represents a phone number, so that the result appearing on a web page looks like (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Should this take place in the database or out at the web server or where?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow would I go about setting up a "mask" to automatically place the hyphen in phone numbers in SQL Server? I.e., the user types in an area code and then a hyphen automatically inserts and the cursor is on the next blank space.
Thanks for the assist.

How to format phone numbers in sql? in current fields some phone number entered like this:
1 800 7894564

I have a table filled with phone numbers entered in every different way possible
(5551212, 1115551212, 111-555-1212, 111 555 1212, 111-555-1212 ex 1234, 5551212 x1234)
And I would like to pull them from the table using sql 2008 and have the formatting look like this:
(111)555-1212 x1234.
How can I make this happen? Where numbers are missing, I would prefer to leave the area blank, ie 5551212 becomes 555-1212, and 1115551212 becomes (111)555-1212, extension numbers only where they are currently included.
Here's my problem: I have to clean up a SQL Server 2005 database with a large number of phone number records (several hundred thousand). The records are of varchar datatype and contain phone numbers in every format imaginable. In fact, many records have written notes regarding the phone numbers after the numbers themselves. What I need to do is format all of the phone numbers to this format:
###-###-####-
Basically I'm figuring I need to do the following:
1. Strip all non-numeric characters from the record
2. Remove the 1 from any records that have a leading 1 (in many cases the records contain stuff like 1-888-555-1234)
3. Remove any digits following the first 10 digits (they don't want to keep any extensions - the formatting is more important)
4. Add dashes after the first three digits, after the second three and at the end of the phone number
This seems like a rather complex problem to me, and honestly I don't even know where to begin. I can accomplish this rather easily in javascript or C#, but writing SQL to solve this is beyond me. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide. Thanks alot!
Hi,In SQL Server 2000, if I have to create a table to store a very largenumber of 10 digit telephone numbers, would I be better off to have abigint field or just use a varchar field? If I do a lot of queryingbased on the telephone numbers, would it be faster if I use bigint?Are there any other tricky points that I should know when using bigintfields? I need to be able to accesss this field from VB6 and VB.NET.Thanks,--TP

Hi,
I need to formate one of my phone number field in SQL. now the data in the field is: 1234567890. I would like to formate the number to 123-456-7890. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

I tried searching forums for the last hour and could not find much.
Rather then doing...
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(RE PLACE(ISNULL(PHONE, ''), ' ', ''), '(', ''), ')', ''), '-', ''), '.', ''), ':', ''), '+', '')
I was hoping there was an equally efficient alternative that utilizes PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', PHONE)
to some capacity (i.e. uses regular expressions to strip all non-numeric characters from the phone field)
I am certain this has been addressed before, just not sure if the "REPLACE to the nth degree" is the only solution.
THANKS!
like (###) ###-####.
I know that
SELECT phone
FROM author
however, the results will be like
408 496-7223.
but I do not know how to format the phone number.
can you help me to figure it out please?
thanks.

Hi,Can you recommend the best way (fast and most productive) to search anemployees table?Let's say I have a table that has this kind of structure:firstname, lastname, state, city, street, phonenumber,socialsecuritynumber, dateofbirth, etc.I'd like to provide a search window with one text entry field, thatthe text entered will be searched at all fields, and even in more thenone field toghether (like if you enter "david z" it will search forlike '%david%' in first name and like '%z%' in last name).the problem is I can't write the query that'll perform fast but searchall of these fields, plus there's no way to use an index when usingLIKE.I can't loose the functionality described above (I'm not the client,and not the project manager) but I am trying to find an efficientsolution to the problem.Since most systems has some sort of directory table (like authors inpubs) you would think it will be a classic problem, but I found norecommendations on how to approach it.any help will be most appreiciated.

Of course, it will take more rows of data to fill up a page, but this shows the basic idea of what we're trying to accomplish.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.
I have a phone number field.

Do anyone know of any functions, I can use to accomplish this??
Thanks in advance!

I have a column of phone numbers that have formatting such as (xxx)xxx-xxxx,
or xxx.xxx.xxxx or xxx.xxx-xxxx; however, not all phone numbers are formatted in this fashion. I need to remove all characters and only leave behind numeric digits to look like xxxxxxxxxx. I have tried select replace(colname,'-','') from table. This does the trick but does not actually change the values in the column. Any help in accomplishing this would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I seem to always get the "Fun Stuff" to try and figure out. I have an entire table that was pumped out of Oracle. I even hate saying that word!
There are a couple columns that are Float data type, and they are storing phone numbers as a Float data type. I am not able to CAST these into anything that is legible.
This is one of the values that I made up that look like some of the others.

SQL query: I am importing data from one source to another. The phone number has 3 variations and I want to standardize the information. I need to remove the "+1" or "1" from the leading characters of the phone number.

+13035554444
