I am trying to figure out how to pull only a certain character string.
orig string varies in length (Varchar 50)
ex: MID - Proposed - Prime
ex: MID - NotProposed - NotPrime
I want to keep the first 6 characters 'MID - '
as well as up to the 3rd SPACE (not including the space)
so
ex: MID - Proposed
ex: MID - NotProposed
I am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.
"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.
Hi,
I am trying to do this:
UPDATE Users SET uniqueurl = replaceAllEmptySpacesInUniqueURL('uniqueurl')
What would be the syntax.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
I have a string 'ACDIPFJZ'
In my table one of the column has data like
PFAG
ABCDEFHJMPUYZ
KML
JC
RPF
My requirement is that if the string in the column has any of the characters from 'ACDIPFJZ' , those characters have to be retained and the rest of the characters have to be removed.
My output should be:
PFAG -- PFA (G Eliminated)
ABCDEFHJMPUYZ -- ACDPFJZ (B,E,H,M,U,Y Eliminated)
KML -- No data
JC -- JC
RPF -- PF (R Eliminated)
i need to find and all special characters and replace with space.
Following query works well for me to finding all rows having special char.
SELECT DESC FROM TBL_DESC
WHERE DESC LIKE '%[^A-Z0-9 ]%'
replacing special char with space . i need to remove special chars only.
I have a column that has data in column user4 such as :
CALBRIGÂ Â ALBIONÂ COMPANY LTDÂ Â
1900 No. 8 Road, RIchmond, BC, V6V 1W3
I can do a LEFT(user4, 7) That returns me the first 7 charcters but I need to retrieve the company information but the number of characters may vary with each field. Is there anyway I can do this without returning the entire line?
I want to replace special characters and space except '-' Tried with Pathindex and function but not getting expected results.
Ex: Input kjkdjfdf-234#kei$ ewiw
output:Â kjkdjfdf-234keiewiw
Could someone please help me? I am trying to pull in a partial string (the last six characters of the field, to be exact).
This is an example of my code:
select *
into #temp_2
from #temp_1 a, Server2.DBa.dbo.table2 r
where r.field1r = a.field1a and
r.field3r = a.field3a (field3a is where I need just the last 6 characters)
To be more specific:
r.field3r looks like 000884
a.field3a looks like 17445000884
So- I just want to pull in the 000884 off of a.field3a
'conn info
Const localConnectionString As String = "Data Source = TestDB.sdf"
Const serverConnectionString As String = "Server=myserver;database=BoxDB;Integrated Security=True;"

Dim rda As SqlCeRemoteDataAccess = Nothing
Try
rda = New SqlCeRemoteDataAccess()
rda.LocalConnectionString = localConnectionString
rda.InternetUrl = "http://myserver/BoxCE/sqlcesa30.dll"
rda.Pull("temp_Swipes", "SELECT * FROM Swipes WHERE 1 = 0", serverConnectionString, RdaTrackOption.TrackingOnWithIndexes, "Swipe_Errors")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
SaveTextToFile(ex.ToString, "CreateUploadOnlyTable.txt", "RDA Error!")
Finally
rda.dispose()
End Try
End Sub
when i try to run it on my CE device i get an error which i have no idea about and can't resolve via google'ing.
"multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. no work was done"
My aim here is just a basic Pull (but containing no data hence the 'WHERE 1=0')
Any answers to this error? is it my conn string? i did have conn string errors earlier and am guessing they are linked.
'17686568 - Bill Statement - 11/16/2006 - Stm. Date - 10/27/2006'
Above is the data string that I am trying to pull the information from. Here is the function I'm currently using:
cast(substring(c.itemname,charindex('Bill Statement - ',c.itemname)+18,10) as varchar)
...which gives me what i want most of the time, but beacuse the date is not equally formatted through out the database and the date can look like 5/4/2012 and using the above formula it will show up as 5/4/2012 -
So my question is how can i trim off the dash part when the data shows up like 5/4/2012 - ?
In the below procedure definition, i need to find a way parse the definition and get the list of places where the where clause is being used.
SELECT DISTINCT
FC.CASE_ID,
UPPER(FC.CASE_NUMBER) AS CASE_NUMBER,
UPPER(REPLACE(FC.CASE_SHORT_TITLE,CHAR(13)+CHAR(10),'')) AS CASE_SHORT_TITLE,
FC.CASE_STATUS_DESCR,
FC.CASE_TYP_DESC, FC.CASE_SUB_TYP_DESC,
[Code] ....
In the above query there are more than one places and the where clause may not have the same string the where clause it can be with a space between the "=" and the value in single quotes.
Result set should be in the below format:
TABLE NAME Column Name VALUE
CFG_ELEMENTS ELEMENT_NAME REPORT_CONSOLIDATEDCASES_CASERELATEDTYPID

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello Everyone,
I am trying to select the last 3 characters from a string. I am running into problems because the sting that I am selecting from are not the same amout of characters.
For example:
Item

How would I be able to select the last three characters from a list that could have more than 50 variations on the number of characters.
I tryed right(item, 3) but that does not work because all the lenghts are different. Any ideas?
There are unwanted characters(''','/','&'.. etc) in column.

I'm trying to search for commonly abbreviated company titles (ie limited, partnership, and so on). I would like to make my sql statement as short as possible (it's already quite lengthy as is). But I'm having trouble netting the abbreviated forms such as LTD and LMTD for limited (I have no control over the data I get, it comes from different counties with no standardization). I've tried using braketted strings like "L[I,IMI,M,]T[ED,D,]" and all other combinations I can think of, including using single quotes in the each string, and removing the empty placeholder and still can grab all instances.
Someone else's insight would be appreciated.
str1 has some space in front of it and after it.
trim(str1) does not seem to work.
what is the right syntax for that?
Thanks

I was wondering what would be the best way to remove special characters like, '-', '&' '(',')','#','*', etc... from a number string. To be specific a phone Number string where the string is >= 10.

Hi,
As part of a data search project I need to be able to strip all non numeric characters from a text field. The field contains various forms of phone number in various formats. In order to search on it I am going to remove all non numeric characters from the input criteria and from the data being searched.
In order to do this I decided on using a SQL Server custom function: Pass in field. Loop through all chars, test against asci values for number range. return only numernic data concatenated into a string.
Are there any other more efficient ways of going about this?
Hi
First interaction to the forum.
My Query is :
I had a User Management module in my application where I created a user with name
`~!@#$@%^&*()[_]+|}{":?><-=[[]];',./
Now I have a functionality to search for the user existing. For that give the search string or a single character and it finds out all the records containing the character.
How do I go about it as the SP i created for it gives correct results except the following
1. Search for % - Gives all record
2. Search for _ - Gives all records
3. Search for [ - Gives NO record
4. Search for the whole string - Gives NO Record
I handeled a few issues
1. replaced [ by [[]
2. replaced _ by [_]
So issues 2 & 3 are resolved.
Tried replacing % by [%] but did not work
Could someone plz help
Thanks in advance

I need extracting string that is between certain characters that are in certain position.
Here is the DDL:
DROP TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest](
[StoreNumber] [varchar](50) NULL,
[StoreNumberParsed] [varchar](50) NULL)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
[Code] ....
What I need to accomplish is to extract the string that is between the third and fifth '-' (dash) and insert it into the StoreNumberParsed while eliminating the fourth dash.
Sample output would be:
KY117
CA132
OH174
MD163
FL191
I know that parse, charindex, patindex all might come in play, but not sure how to construct the statement.
Y'all:I am needing some way, in the SQL Server dialect of SQL, to escape unicodecode points that are embedded within an nvarchar string in a SQL script,e.g. in Java I can do:String str = "This is au1245 test.";in Oracle's SQL dialect, it appears that I can accomplish the same thing:INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (TEST_COLUMN) VALUES ('This is a1245 test.");I've googled and researched through the MSDN, and haven't discovered asimilar construct in SQL Server. I am already aware of the UNISTR()function, and the NCHAR() function, but those aren't going to work well ifthere are more than a few international characters embedded within astring.Does anyone have a better suggestion?Thanks muchly!GRB-----------------------------------------------------------------------Greg R.

I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
But I have discovered that the following
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('£')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
Thanks for looking at this.

Hi all,
I have following problem:
I'm developing a Windows Mobile application, which is using RDA Pull for retrieving data from SQL Server 2005 database to PDA. Please, see the example:
Code Snippet
using (SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine(connStr))
{
engine.CreateDatabase();
}
serverConnStr="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=Demo;Password=xxx";
using (SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess(
Configuration.Default.SyncServerAddress, "", "", connStr))
{
rda.Pull("MyTable", "SELECT * FROM mytable", serverConnStr, RdaTrackOption.TrackingOffWithIndexes, "ErrorTable");
}
Everythink works fine, when I use 'sa' user account in serverConnStr.
But, when I change conn string to:
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=.;User ID=test;Initial Catalog=Demo;Password=test"
the sqlcesa30.dll cannot connect to SQL Server database.
In the sqlcesa30.log then I found following line:
Code Snippet
2007/04/17 10:43:31 Thread=1EE30 RSCB=16 Command=PULL Hr=80040E4D Login failed for user 'test'. 18456
The user 'test' is member of db_owner, db_datareader and public roles for the Demo database and in SQL Server Management Studio I'm able to login to the Demo database with using the 'test' users credentials and I'm able to run the select command on 'mytable'.
So, what's wrong? Why the sqlcesa30.dll process cannot login to the Demo database, and from another application with using the SAME connection string it works?
Please help.
Thank you.
Fipil.
