Query Word Starting With....from String Caught In Web App
Jul 23, 2005
Hi all
This should be easy for one of you pros out there...
I take a single string(one letter) from a textbox and want to query my
database for a name that starts with that letter.
I know that the correct synthax when you know the letter is:
WHERE FirstName LIKE 'O%'
but when I have this:
*****************
Dim lastname As String
lastname = txtlastname.Text
Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM [" & PubName & "] WHERE Last_Name
like ' txtlastname % ' "
**********************************************
It doesn't seem to work since my datagrid is empty afterwards. I also
tried:
***************
Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM [" & PubName & "] WHERE Last_Name
like '" & txtlastname & " % ' "
****************
without succes....
It's probably just a synthax error on my part but I don'T know were..
THanks guys!!

I got this error report "The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is a unknown word starting at index 0." at this line of code in BOLD.
For some reasons the datetime format in the database has the (US datetime format - 05/02/2008 06:40 instead of United Kingdom (UK date time format - 02/05/2008 06:40), as I had planned. I have tried to reformat the database and VB date format and all to no success.Could this be the root of my problems?

i cannot seem to get rid of this error. My page works in other functions that have the same syntax and format. just this one doesnt. i tried changing the format but still the same thing. SQL DB is DateTime. Any Suggestions?

Hey all, i'm making the pages meta keywords on my site dynamic, and i was wondering is there is a string, for example "Dell 17" Monitor Brand New", that would split it into each word for the meta keywords. example "Dell, 17", Monitor, Brand, New" (and possibly to not put a comma on the last word?)
I am having a colume as image datatype, in which candidates resume is stored in binary format. I have to search for particular words for eg. "ASP.Net, 2 Years" into that column I have converted that column as varchar and then searching above two words(after spliting them by comma) into that string using CHARINDEX
DECLARE @i int, @j int SET @i = select MIN(ResumeId) from table_name SET @j = select MAX(ResumeId) from table_name
WHILE (@i <= @j) BEGIN DECLARE @Resume varchar(max) SET @Resume = CAST((select Resume from table_name where ResumeId=100) as varbinary(max))
--code to search the particular word from @Resume
END
It is working fine, but it is very slow, taking 2+ minutes to scan 15000 records How can I make it faster or is there any other way to search?
I have a scenario which i must check if the value of the inputted word is exact (case sensitive) in a string. And print the word if correct. using a user defined function.
Example:The quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog.
If the user enter "jump" it must print "jump". If the user enter "Jump" it must print "jump" which is the correct word.
can't figure out this error. i think i'm writing something wrong in the connnection string. i'm using SQL Server Express, if that helps. in my config file: <connectionStrings> <add name="OfficialScribblerConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|OfficialScribbler.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> in my aspx file:Dim DBConnection = New OleDbConnection("OfficialScribblerConnectionString") DBConnection.Open() Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT PostedDate From Entries_tbl ORDER BY PostedDate"

I have a field called CustomerName Varchar 100 and I wish to write a function that can do the following in a script component task
create a function called CleanString (ByVal CustomerName as String) As String
CleanString Returns the last word of a Customer name if the CustomerName field contains more than one word or if the CustomerName field does not contain Corp or Ltd
ie parse 'Mr John Tools' and the function returns 'Tools'
ie parse 'TechnicalBooks' and the function returns 'TechnicalBooks'
ie parse 'Microsoft Corp' return 'Microsoft Corp'
ie parse 'Digidesign Ltd' return 'Digidesign Ltd'
Any idea of a regular expression or existing piece of existing code I can have
When our rep distribution services time-out (several times a day) some dba's just restart the service while others restart the rep job which starts the service. Are there any differences between these two methods? Does restarting the service inherit any changes made to the job's attributes?
After creating an IN clause from a bunch of character strings created by aWord macro, Query Analyzer complains about a syntax error. The macro takes acolumn full of character strings and wraps apostrophes (single-quotes)around each string and adds a comma to the end of each line, ready to pasteinto a Query Analyzer session. The problem is that Query Analyzer doesn'trecognize the MS-Word apostrophes. It has nothing to do with the standardapostrophe/quote problems that some people face when dealing with embeddedquotes.Can anyone suggest how to produce single-quote characters in MS-Word thatQuery Analyzer understands?Thank you.
Hi can anybody give me a simple example to check exact match word using sql sever Ex: my word is like this : welcome to sql sever2005 Now i want to find server how it is possible? I tried like this select * from test where content like %server% . but is gives me possible result. But i dont want like this if i have an exact match with that key word then only i want possitive result. Actually there is no word with server, i'm having only server2005 . So how can I get it?
select updatedb.callref, updatedb.updatetxt, updatedb.udsource, opencall.suppgroup from updatedb left join opencall on updatedb.callref=opencall.callref
where udindex = '0' and suppgroup = 'SUPPORT' and (updatetxt like '%' + @Word + '%')
And opencall.status <> '17'This means that when they search for items and they separate each word it is "and" between each one.
They would like it to be more fuzzy with "and" and "or". How can I adapt this?
For demonstration I created a fulltext index on table employee in Northwind database.
The following query gives an error:
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE CONTAINS (FirstName, 'Barbe')
Replacing 'Barbe' by 'Barb' or other words it works fine.
The error message is (I have a french version of SQL installed, here the translation: "A clause in the query contains only ignored words" Une clause de la requête ne contient que des mots ignorés)
Language for wordbreak in fulltext index is French and the error happens only with French, with English it works.

MDDB database is accessable & in Log file its recovered fully

hi! I'm just wondering does anyone know how to create an sql command that can search word by word? what i mean is like I have a product with name 'harry potter broom'. I want an sql command where if i type only 'harry broom' this 'harry potter broom' product will show up. Does anyone have any idea? Here's my sql comand: (I'm using asp.net vb script do develop this system) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- query = "select distinct * from product where " & _ "(pname like '%" & keyword & "%' or " & _ "pdesc like '%" & keyword & "%' ) and " & _ "(price >= " & price1 & " and price <= " & price2 & _ ") and status <> 'out of stock' order by price asc" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you.

Example Datas for Table Relationships: IDMember Relationships . 3387 (2345, 2388,4567,....) 4567 (8990, 7865, 3387...) i wirte a query to check if there is Relationship between two members. Query: Declare @IDM int; Declare @IDO int; Set @IDM = 3387, @IDO = 4567; select * from Relationship where (IDMember = @IDM) and ( cast(@ID0 as char(100)) in (select Relationship .[RelationshipIDs] from Relationship where IDMember = @IDM))

Is the word "Name" a reserved word in SQL? look at line 10 of my stored procedure. When I use the word "Name"it is highlited in blue by SQL Server? Note I only list part of the stored proc 1 CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetXMLPeopleNames] 23 (4 @Status nvarchar(3)5)6 AS7 SELECT8 PersonId,9 PersonDescription,10 Name,11 UpdateDate,12 UpdateAppUser13 FROM14 Customer WHERE Customer.PersonDescription=@Status15 ORDER BY
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.
