Reading A Column Upto The First Instance Of A Char
Jun 13, 2002
Hi Gents,
I have a file that contains internet addresses accessed by users.
When I load this file into DTS I only want to insert into a table the first part of the address, ie,
http://www.microsoft.com.au/something/something.asp
I only want to insert the http://www.microsoft.com.au part of the address. Each address will be of varying lengths depending on the site visited, but still only want the first part. Up to the third instance of a /.
Any help???

I have received an alert on a server that is running SQL 2005. 'The service pack level of SQL instance is not upto date'.
I have right clicked the connection properties and found that current version is 9.00.1399.06 How can I tell which Service pack the SQL 2005 is currently on?
Do you know of any articles to upgrade service packs?
Thanks.

I have several fileds in a sql table which holds some text and a hell of a lot of white spaces (char(32)) which is causing some problems when I show the data on the front-end
What I want to do is use sql replace function to replace the char(32). However, because there is text I can't do a simple replace as the text will become just one word !
Can anyone tell me how to loop through the field to find the char(32), where the char(32) is greater than say 5 sapces and then replace this with just one single space
E.g. a field in a table contains the following :
"my text field and loads of spaces then some more text with loads of spaces "
I want to replace the char(32) with just one space so it looks like this :
"my text filed and loads of spaces then some more text with loads of spaces"
Thanks for your help

Hi All,
I put a blank or ‘0’ in one of column of a text file and then I used BCP to load this file to a table of SQL server 6.5. The field in SQL server table is char type with size 1. After I run this process, all rows with this column received ‘0’ and no blank or null at a black value place. Could you please help me to fix this problem and make some of rows in the column get a blank or null value.
TIA.

i'm going nuts with this, i suppose i will crack it eventually, but i thought i'd ask around here, seems like all the smart SQL Server guys hang out here
(i'm an SQL guy, not an SQL Server guy)
how does one place 5 spaces into a CHAR(5) column?
create table testzeros
( id smallint not null primary key identity
, myfield char(5)
)
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 1')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 11')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 111')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 1111')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values ('11111')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' ')
select id
, myfield
, len(myfield) as L
from testzerosno matter what i do, id=6 shows up with L=0, just like an empty string
i've even tried inserting 4 spaces and a non-blank character, which enters just fine, just as you would expect, but when i update the value and replace the non-blank character with a blank, all 5 spaces collapse back to an empty string
is there some kind of server setting like SET ALL_SPACE_EQUALS_EMPTY_YOU_IDIOT to OFF or something?

I have a column in my db which is char(40).
There are entries in this with the same text, but some come up with a length of 24 and some 25. This sugggests to me that there is a blank trailing space. Am I right?
However, if I update it to iteslf using a Rtrim, nothing changes.
Is is something to do with ANSI padding?
How can I get these entries to be identical, please?

I have a char(11) for SSN, and I would like to default it to123-45-6789 so I can avoid having nulls in this column, and so I caneasily find the rows in which I need to have a 'correct' SSNentered/updated.I tried using just 123-45-6789, and SQL2005 doesn't seem to bedefaulting to this value, it seems to be keeping it as(((123)-(45))-(6789), and not placing it into this column when a newrow is created....Is there some special way I must specify defaults for a char(11) field(Yes, I will include the dashes).Thank you,Tom

I am working with Excel, then within Excel I am using MS Query to query a database. I am trying to use the CAST function on a field with numbers (1,2 or 3 digits) so I can convert it to a text value with three digits, i.e. 1 would read 001, 12 would read 012, etc.
I am not using CAST in the design grid. Is this even possible?
I am modifying the underlying SQL code. Here is the line that is giving me trouble:
CAST(GL02GLF.GLF_SEQ_NUM as CHAR(3)) as “Sequence”

Hi,
This is strange....
I am getting my source data from another system am storing the SaleAmount of each product in a field the data type of which is [decimal](12, 2).
For some products I am getting an exact match (upto 2 decimal places) as compared with my source data BUT for some other products the value before the decimal places is correct but the 2 digits after the decimal place does not match with the source data :confused:
Even if this sounds stupid, can you please guide me. Am i missing some very basic and common sense thing?
Many TIA.

Hi I have a table, which contains Char and NChar NOT NULL columns
Now I need to change it to NULL, when I use the following command, it fails for the following error,
The command I used,
ALTER TABLE <TableName>
ALTER COLUMN <ColName> CHAR NULL
ALTER TABLE <TableName>
ALTER COLUMN <ColName> NCHAR NULL
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 13, Line 1
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
But for the same table, the below command executes fine,
ALTER TABLE <TableName>
ALTER COLUMN <ColName> SMALLINT NULL
Also I can change the NULLABILITY from NOTNULL to NULL using Enterprise Manger, editing the table using Table Design and selecting Allow Nulls option.
I need a script to accomplish this task.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I would like to read from a Text File using SSIS Integration Package.
The file has a fixed number of columns, let's say 3 columns.
There is no row header and each columns length is fixed. There is no delimiter as well.
Here is the sample of the file contents:
John Doe USA
Mary Monroe UK
Andy Archibald Singapore
Here is the hints to read the file contents
123456789
0123456789
0123456789
==============================
John Doe USA
Mary Monroe UK
Andy Archibald Singapore
If you notice, from the 1st column until the 9th column, it's reserved for the first name.
The 10-th column until the 19th column, it's reserved for the last name. Finally the 20-th column until the 29th column is reserved for the Origin Country.
Since there's no delimiter inside the flat file contents, i have difficulty in parsing this text using SSIS Package.
Please let me know if you need any necessary information.
Thanks for all your help.
Regards,
Hadi Teo.

I have a sql agent job which runs the Masterpackage, Master package has aroung 35 child packages calling in it. Issue with this Master package is it running upto 30 child packages and I get success message on  job. It is not executing packages beyond 30 what could be the problem. I disabled the all the 30 child packages and ran it again it ran those other 5 child packges without any problem.

Hi guys/ladies I'm still having some trouble formatting a select statement correctly.
I am using a sqldatasource control on an aspx page. It is connecting via odbc string to an Informix database.
Here is my select statement cut down to the most basic elements.
SELECT commentFROM informix.ipr_stucomWHERE (comment > 70)
The column "comment" contains student grades ranging from 0-100 and the letters I, EE, P, F, etc. Therefore the column is of a char type. This is a problem because I cannot run the above statement without hitting an alpha record and getting the following error
"Character to numeric conversion error"
How can I write this statement where it will work in the datasource control and have it only look at numeric values and skip the alpha values?
I have tried case with cast and isnumeric... I don't think that I have the formating correct.
I have also used:
WHERE (NOT (comment = ' I' OR comment = ' EE' OR comment = ' NG' OR comment = ' WP' OR comment = ' WF' OR comment = ' P' OR comment = ' F'))
This works but is very clunky and could possibly break if other letters are input in the future. There has to be a better way.I am sorry for my ignorance and thanks again for your help.

Is there a way to extract the date part (11/27/2012) of a datetime/time stamp column (11/27/2012 00:00:00.000) and keep it in a date format?
The code i have below extracts the date part of a timestamp column and converts it to a char field. This becomes a problem when I joing the resultant table with a SAS dataset which contains the same column but is in a date format. The join process generates an error saying the column is in different formats.
convert(char(15), process_date,112) as process_dt

I have used the following Windows C codes to retrieve records from the bus_newjob table in SQL server:
==========================================================
// construct command buffer to be sent to the SQL server
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )"select job_number, job_type," );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" disp_type, disp_status," );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" start_time, end_time," );

dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" from bus_newjob" );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" where disp_status = 0" );
dbcmd( dbproc, ( char * )" order by job_number asc" );
result_code = dbsqlexec( dbproc ); // send command buffer to SQL server
// now check the results from the SQL server
while( ( result_code = dbresults( dbproc ) ) != NO_MORE_RESULTS )
{
if( result_code == SUCCEED )
{
memset( ( char * )&disp_job, 0, sizeof( DISPATCH_NEWJOB ) );

dbbind( dbproc, 14, NTBSTRINGBIND, ( DBINT )0, ( LPBYTE )&disp_job.new_job.cust_details );
// now process the rows
while( dbnextrow( dbproc ) != NO_MORE_ROWS )
{
new_job = malloc( sizeof( DISPATCH_NEWJOB ) );
if( !new_job )
return( 0 );
memcpy( ( char * )new_job, ( char * )&disp_job, sizeof( DISPATCH_NEWJOB ) );
append_to_list( &Read_Job_List, new_job );
}
}
else
{
sprintf( str, "Results Failed, result_code = %d", result_code );
log_str( str );
break;
}
==========================================================
where the job_type columIn is of the char(1) type, NTBSTRINGBIND is the vartype argument in the dbbind() function.
However, what I have gotten is nothing more than a null string from the job_type column. I have alternatively changed the vartype argument to STRINGBIND, CHARBIND and even INTBIND, but the results are the same.
Who can tell me the tricks to retrieve a char(1) column from SQL server?

go
create table table2

col2 char(2)

go
I add some records to two tables after createing operation completed.
Then i use dbcc page command to oversee the structures of data page in two tables.
I found some interest things:
The rows in two tabes take up same space:9 bytes
You can see the "9" on top of the data, for example:Slot 0, Offset 0x60, Length 9, DumpStyle BYTE
or calculate from the offset array
Any suggestions?

I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?
So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:
Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)
Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance)
If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?
Regards,
Vipul
