How would I write a query on a table containing a column of ints, where I want to retrieve the rows where that int value starts with a number? I know that you can do this with strings by using "....WHERE thisfield LIKE ('123%')", but if 'thisfield' is an int, how would I do this? Thanks!

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhy query analyzer is starting really slow on my computer?
i wasnt like this before. what can i do to make it run fast as before.
I've created a FullTextCatalog on one of my Databases and added a full text index on one of my text columns.
The first time I run a query against the data it takes roughly 40-45 seconds to return data. After that it blazes and runs in under a second. If I don't query it for 20-30 minutes, it will take 40-45 seconds again and then fly until the next break.
Is there a configuration setting somewhere that I'm missing on this? Currently the Index is only about 5MB so it should take that long to read in when I'm querying it.
I don't think it has anything to do with size because the actual return can contain anywhere from 10-80K rows and the speed is about the same.
I'm using Standard edition on a 2003 Standard Server if that plays into the potential problem at all. We're currently downloading and installing the new Service Pack to see if that fixes it, but for some reason I'm not holding my breath. I'm assuming that there is something we need to change in the configuration.
Let me know if I'm missing any pertinent information. Thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a part number field which contains whole numbers. (1 - 5000+) however there are gaps in the numbers e.g. Part Number 3876 maybe missing. The table has new parts inserted from a VB Client. Im trying to write a stored procedure where when a user trys to run an update without entering a part number the first missing part number is found. If they do provide a part number then their number is committed as long as it is unique. I've tried using cursors but am not sure on the best approach. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I am having a problem retaining the right 2 decimal places in my datagrid field. I have it defined as a decimal but when the update happens it rounds the decimal places back to .00.
Dim NewMarkup As String
'retrieve the new values
NewMarkup = CType(e.Item.FindControl("Markup"), TextBox).Text
'create the ado.net objects
Dim command As New SqlCommand("UpdatePricing", connection)
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
'parameters
command.Parameters.Add("@Markup", SqlDbType.Decimal, 5)
command.Parameters("@Markup").Value = CDec(NewMarkup)
Thanks!
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.

Hello,
I am developing a message board using ASP on IIS and SQL Server 2000, and I am running into a problem.
When a user enters their post, they enter their user name, subject, and of course all of their post content. Now the post content should be an unlimited number of characters since it could end up being multiple paragraphs.
I know I could just use an ASP file system object and write the text to a file, but I wanted to save all of these paragraphs as a field in a database table so I could pull it from the database so it could be edited by the user.
Is there a way to make a field be able to take in an unlimited amount of characters?
Or is this the wrong way to do things; is it bad to have an unlimited amount of characters in a table field? Should I stick to using the ASP System File Object?
I have a table with over a million rows and one of the fields containsamounts of money in text format.What is the most efficient way of converting this field to a numberformat that I can sum on?Regards,Ciarán

Hi there!
I'm using a Switch statement in my SQL as follows:
Code:
SELECT symbol,
Switch(timestamp Is Null,Null,
timestamp <= 005959, 0,
timestamp<=235959,23) AS period
INTO averageprice
FROM stocktrades;
Now here's my problem. The Data Type stored in the 'period' field of this new table I've created, dubbed averageprice, is a Text field and I want it to be a Number field. I've tried my best to figure this out and I'm still looking so any helpful hints or solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Hi!
I have a table called DB1 that contains this:
MID
IIN
NUM_EVENTS
DATE
MID, IIN and NUM_EVENTS are composite keys. and only NUM_EVENTS get incremented. All records start with NUM_EVENTS = 1.How can I create a query that only displays those records that only NUM_EVENTS = 1 meaning their still on the first stage of processing?
I am facing problem with re numbering of field records in a table.I am having one table with below records.

Any easier way to do what I am trying, without having a table with all the dates and week numbers.
Scenario: Week number of a DateTime Field where the year does not start on January 01<sup>st</sup> but April 1<sup>st</sup> to 31 Mach.
Issue: A week always starts on a Monday so if the 1<sup>st</sup> is on Tuesday, the first week is Tuesday – Sunday, if the 1<sup>st</sup> April is on Friday, the 1<sup>st</sup> week is Friday – Sunday and 7 day periods from there.

If I pull a value from a MSSQL field with is defined as money, how can I get it to display in a textbox with commas and NO decimals?

decRevenue = drMyData("Revenue")
txtRevenue.Text = decRevenue.ToString("f0")
It current shows "87000".
Ok I have upgraded my works database from a poorly designed Access database to a SQL database. The previous system allowed NULL values and duplicates to be inserted into a field that should NOT ALLOW NULL Values or duplicates. Therefore, this issue has now been moved across to my new system as I cannot set these constraints on the field that has multiple NULL values.
My solution would be to use a sequential operator, so whatever = NULL would be changed to a sequential number that us as administrators would know was a bogus number starting at something like = 999999900 counting up from that. There are only 250 records that would require updating.
To make things more interesting this field is not a integer type, its a Nvarchar type as its a Hardware ID. Both numerical and characters are require.
When querying a bit field, I am encountering a problem with MS SQLServer returning a larger number of records for a table than theactual number of records that exist within that table.For example, my customer table has 1 million unique records, so theresults of the following query are as such:select count(customer_nbr) from customer = 1,000,000There is bit field in the customer table that denotes whether acustomer has placed an order with us called. That flag is calledorder_flagIf I run the following query:select count(customer_nbr) from customer where order_flag = 1The result is 3,000,000 records.There is no logical way that this is possible, as my table onlycontains 1,000,000 unique records and the number of customers with anorder should be a subset of this.If a run the above query with a distinct before customer number, I getthe results I want:select count(distinct customer_nbr) from customer where order_flag = 1600,000 records.So while I can get to the answer I want, I have no idea why I amreturning incorrect values if I don't select distinct.Can anyone help? I checked microsoft support and message boards buthaven't seen anything.I should note that the bit field is indexed.I am not sure if that isthe problem or not.

I have never seen this error before... When I click on DTS to either open an existing package or create a new one I get the following errors: Error in the DLL, DTS Design Error. When I try to create a new DTS it gives me the errors but still opens but I'm missing all of the connection objects except for MS data link and other connection. I had no problems designing and executing the packages from a development box. I'm not even refering to the typical scheduling problems that exist when SQL Agent is configured incorrectly!
We need to start a job automatically when SQL Server 6.5 automatically starts.
Like adding a user into tempdb.
Is there any clue?
In SQL 2000 you can schedule a job to run each time the agent starts. I don't see that option now in 2005.
Does anyone know what happened to that or how to achieve that. I could do a stored proc with the proc option I guess but why did they remove that functionality or maybe I am not seeing it.
Thanks
