Remove Space Between Columns In Result To Text
Sep 20, 2006
Hello
When you set the results from a query to text, very often you end up with a format like:
job_id name
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a way to get rid of the extra space between two columns? Sometimes it's more than the width of my screen between columns
Thanks!

I need to send the result of a procedure to an update statement.Basically updating the column of one table with the result of aquery in a stored procedure. It only returns one value, if it didnt Icould see why it would not work, but it only returns a count.Lets say I have a sproc like so:create proc sp_countclients@datecreated datetimeasset nocount onselect count(clientid) as countfrom clientstablewhere datecreated > @datecreatedThen, I want to update another table with that value:Declare @dc datetimeset @dc = '2003-09-30'update anothertableset ClientCount = (exec sp_countclients @dc) -- this line errorswhere id_ = @@identityOR, I could try this, but still gives me error:declare @c intset @c = exec sp_countclients @dcWhat should I do?Thanks in advance!Greg

I have the following data example, it is 1 column named ItemCode in the table called ItemNo,
ItemCode
1000830 000830 92
1001156 001156 92
And i have the following code,
SELECT SUBSTRING(ItemCode, CHARINDEX(' ', ItemCode), CHARINDEX(' ', ItemCode)) AS 'ItemCodeTo'
FROM Cust.ItemNo
But the result has a 'space' character at the beginning. I do not need this 'space' character.
What is wrong with my code above? How to remove the space character?
ItemCodeTo
000830
001156

I am trying to bulk update about 50,000 rows in a SQL table. The values that the table MUST contain are:
1-3 days
4-7 days
8-10 days
Some of the rows contain a space between the number and the hyphen like:
1 - 3 days
4 - 7 days
8 - 10 days
What would be my best methodology of removing the space between numerics only? I have seen multiple examples of how to remove ALL whitespace, but I only want to remove the space between the numbers and the hyphen *IF* it exists. And the field type is varchar(200)

I have a column of type Decimal(14, 4) in my SQL server 2005 database.
When producing the result set on this column, i need to convert the values to varchar datatype and also i do not want the trailing zeroes to be displayed.
For eg:
If the value stored is 98.7500, my select query should provide an output of 98.75.
Similarly if the value stored is 98.0000, my select query should output 98.
I tried converting the value to "float" and then assigning to varchar data, however doing so i am incurring precision loss in some scenarios
See below:
Declare @ele as varchar(25)
Select @ele = Convert(float, 99999.9990)
select @ele
Output I received: 100000
Output I wanted: 99999.999
Are there any in-built functions in SQL to achieve what I need?

Hi,
I have now this (1 record) result:
;Admins;Sales;SalesAdmin;Other;Sales;Admins;All users;
Now, as you can see, there are some double rolenames.
I see admins and Sales 2 times between ";".
Is there a way to filter that out?
So that this will be the result:
;SalesAdmin;Other;Sales;Admins;All users;
Thanks!

I am having problems building a CTE. I have a table:
declare @tbl table ( ID int, S time(0), E time(0) )

( 1, '23:00', '23:40' ),
( 1, '23:30', '23:45' )
I need to build a CTE that will eliminate overlaps and produce the following result:
ID S E

So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.

One of our users tried to set replication solution in a sqlserver (the idea was given up).
SQL Server added in each table a column related to replication.
We want to remove theses columns and I used the following script :
select 'ALTER TABLE dbo.'+object_name(id)+' DROP CONSTRAINT '+object_name(constid)+' GO'
+'ALTER TABLE dbo.'+object_name(id)+' DROP COLUMN '+'msrepl_tran_version GO'
from sysconstraints where object_name(constid) like '%msrep%'
Question:
1. I want to know how to introduce a carraige return in order to have some thing like this :
...
ALTER TABLE dbo.T_CommandCopyFile
DROP CONSTRAINT DF__T_Command__msrep__44AB0736
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.T_CommandCopyFile
DROP COLUMN msrepl_tran_version
...
2. Is there any other solution to do this more simply ?

I am using bcp to import data into a table usign format file. when I put 0 in the table column(as it is shown here) it means that I am not bcp in the field values into the table. what I get in return is (NULL) for all those columns that has 0 in the format file.....
My Questions is Am I saving space in the table when I use this process, or (NULL) will take space like an actual value ?
I hope I explained my question clearly... Thanks for your input

This is driving me nuts.
I recently moved a database from one server to another. One thing
I didn't catch is that I had a Full Text Catalog on the old server.
Well, on the new server, the catalog is still pointing to a disk
location that doesn't exist on the new server. I tried to remove
the catalog but get an error:
"Error 21776: The name 'Claims Catalog' was not found in the FullTextCatalogs collection....."
So, I go to the table and attempt to remove Full Text Indexing but get
the same error with: "Error 20565: Database is not full-text
enabled yet"
I tried to remove the indexing key from the table and get: "Invalid cursor state"
I even tried to fake a mapped drive with the path it was looking for and it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions other than dropping the table? (it has about 40,000 records).
Thanks!

in our database is saved by 6 decimal places, whether the value has no values ??in decimal position. Field type is of type nvarchar.
How do I remove these "laggards spirit" in the best and smartest way.
Ex:

I have a table containing the following data:
LinkingIDID1 ID2
166202180659253178
166202253178180659
166334180380253179
166334253179180380

264052258643258642
264502258643258663
264502258643259562
Within the LinkingID, there are duplicates in ID1 and ID2 but just in opposite columns. I have been trying to figure out a way to remove these set based. It doesn't matter which duplicate is removed. Essentially these are just endpoints and I don't care which side they are on. The solution must recognize the duplicates and not just remove based on every 2nd row.

We have a database with hundreds of tables, each with "CreatedByLoginId" and "ModifiedByLoginId" FK columns back to the Login table. This is all fine and well, but 500+ tables all link back to Login table every time a record is inserted or updated.
For strictly performance reasons, what do you think of us REMOVING the FK constraints on all of our tables? While this does mean that a GUID that is not a valid LoginId could potentially be put in a table, I'm not too worried about it because users don't have direct access to the database.

Hi,This is probably an easy question for someone so any help would beappreciated.I have changed the columns in a table that where nvarchar to the samesize of type varchar so halve the space needed for them.I have done this a) becuase this is never going to be an internationalapplication, b) we are running out of space and c) there are 100million rows.I have done this with the alter table statement which seems to work butthe space used in the database hasn't altered.I'm presuming that the way the records are structured within the tablethere is just now more space free inbetween each page???Is there a way or re-shrinking just an individual table and free upsome of the space in there or am i missing the point somewhere?Thanks in advance,Ian

Hello everyone,
In reports ,My customer requirement is to display column based on selected criteria in UI .
The columns which are not selected by him will hide.
for that we kept an expression in Visibility --> Hide
Code Snippet
= NOT Parameters!Parameters.Value.ToString().Contains("Name")
then coming to HTML Report
It is working fine,but white space coming at end of the Table.
can't we supress the white space?
The white space width is exactly the width of the column which is hidden.
My designing in layout is wrong?
Else is that Problem with the SSRS?
Experts Please let me Know!!!!
Give me Solution!!!
Customer is strictly focusing on that requirement.
***Note: white Space is Some what Acceptable.But My Reports are very big like 45 columns around.When he selects 10 out of 45 then you can assume how much space is coming????????****
