Query String Field Based On Text Format

Mar 7, 2008

I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text.  This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000.   I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format.  Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google?  Fixing this problem is not an option.  This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it. 

 Thanks for the help!

Combine Text Field Based On Value

Feb 27, 2014

I have one table with text column(varchar50) and 2 value columns(INT)

it looks like this:
c1, c2, c3
1, null, text1
2, null, text2
3, null, text3
4, 3, text4

What i want to do is to combine c3 on row 3 and 4 so the output would look like this:
c1, c2, c3
1, null, text1
2, null, text2
3, null, text3
4, 3, text3 ext4

I have tried to use CASE with no luck.

edit:
output like this is also fine
c1, c2, c3
1, null, text1
2, null, text2
3, null, text3
4, 3, text4
5, null, text3 ext4

Updating Only A Small Part Of A Text String In A Field

Aug 17, 2006

Hello all,

I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:

Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.

I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.

It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.

So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Anyway To Check If A Text Field Is Blank (not Null But Just A Empty String '') ?

Oct 27, 2004

i have a trigger on a table right now... when fields are inserted, theres a text field inserted and i want to check if that text field = '' (the empty string, not NULL) and if it doesn't equal that, then perform some row updates on other tables, but if it is empty, to not do anything else in the trigger... right now i have this:


Code:


IF ((SELECT Note FROM XATPoDetail WHERE ReqNbr = (SELECT ReqNbr FROM Inserted)) LIKE(''))



Note is the text field, XATPoDetail is the table where its being inserted into. I had to do the select FROM the table because it wouldn't let me select a text data type from the "Inserted" virtual table

but it tells me me "Error 279: The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression"

thanks

Procedure Or Query To Make A Comma-separated String From One Table And Update Another Table's Field With This String.

Feb 13, 2006

We have the following two tables :

Link  ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )

The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.

The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).

We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.

For instance,

Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.

Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.

How To Manipulate String In Query And Create New Field

Dec 22, 2006

I'm very new to SQL server and can use some help. MyTable has ColumnA, which contains strings composed of 1 to 4 numeric characters (0 thru 9) followed by alphabetic characters. For example, "53ASDF". In my query, I need to create ColumnB, which takes the numeric prefix from ColumnA's string and prepends it with zeros, if necessary, to create a string of exactly 4 numeric characters. For example, I could get the following result:

ColA ColB
"6abc" "0006"
"457def" "0457"
"7232hij" "7232"

I have implemented a temporary solution using a CASE statement:
SELECT ColA, ColB =
CASE
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 4)) = 1 THEN (LEFT(ColA, 4))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 3)) = 1 THEN '0' + (LEFT(ColA, 3))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 2)) = 1 THEN '00' + (LEFT(ColA, 2))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 1)) = 1 THEN '000' + (LEFT(ColA, 1))
ELSE ''
END
FROM MyTable


Because of additional complexities, I need to implement the solution with a loop instead of a CASE statement. Can someone please describe such a solution?

I'm very confused about how variables work in SQL Server, but made an attempt to implement a solution. Hopefully, someone can make corrections and describe how to use it with a SELECT statement. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. This is what I started with:

DECLARE @ColBstring char(4)
DECLARE @num int
SET @ColBstring = ''
SET num = 1;
-- Get the numeric prefix from ColumnA's string
WHILE(isnumeric(substring(colA, 1, num)) = 1)
@ColBstring = (substring(colA, 1, num)
num = num + 1

-- Prepend the ColumnB string with zeros
WHILE(LEN(@ColBstring) < 4)
@ColBstring = '0' + @ColBstring


Thanks for any help,
Mike

SQL Tools :: Datazen - Query String Format For Microsoft SharePoint List Data Connection

Sep 17, 2015

I am trying to create a Datazen query against a Microsoft SharePoint List.  The Data View successfully returns records from the list; however, it appears that the Query String parameter is entirely ignored.  I want to use the query string to grab only records with a certain status value.

So far I have attempted specifying a View and Filters:

?View={B9FF1729-AB8E-4C55-B17C-C660480334BB}&FilterField1=Status&FilterValue1=Closed&FilterField2=Request%5Fx0020%5FType&FilterValue2=Project

Just the filters:

?FilterField1=Status&FilterValue1=Closed&FilterField2=Request%5Fx0020%5FType&FilterValue2=Project

And even:

?ThisWillDoNothing

All return the complete set of records in the list. I do not see a single example or comment online other than the claim that SharePoint List sources are supported.  How I can specify a Query String value that will filter the list records?

Problem With Text Field: Text Input Too Long, Weird Characters

May 15, 2006

Hi,

Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql.
When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.

For example:
http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333

How can I set the text limit to unlimited?
Could it be something else?
Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?


Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Chris

SQL 2012 :: Text Qualifier Inside A Text Qualified Field

Mar 12, 2015

In SQL 2005 if i was trying to insert some data with a text qualifier inside a text qualified field, it would work, for example:

"Name","ID ","Location","","Comany",""House Name" Road",

In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.

To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.

After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.

123
12389

the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.
