I've got one SQL Server 7.0 table with a "Decsciption" Column of length 4000. The values in this column contains "End of Line" ASCII Character. The ASCII Value of this character is 10. I'm not able to remove this ASCII Character. I tried by using REPLACE function. But i could not remove that character.
Any thoughts are welcome,
Regards,
Santha.
I’m getting ASCII characters in one column of my table. So I want to replace same column value in NON ASCII characters.
Note – values in column must be same
I have a problem with alot of my SPs. All compile correctly but cause erroneous data due to IF statements begin ignored due to
characters (see below).
Example SP...
-- Opened within last 12 Months
IF @NEWACCIND = 1
BEGIN
EXECUTE usp_DFDX03_D0150_A4 @COSTALL OUTPUT
END
-- Accounts in Arrears in Current Quarter
Should look like ...
-- Opened within last 12 Months
IF @NEWACCIND = 1
BEGIN
EXECUTE usp_DFDX03_D0150_A4 @COSTALL OUTPUT
END
-- Accounts in Arrears in Current Quarter
I need to find all SPs with double
instance and manually replace. There are hundreds of SPs in total. I have tried
SELECTCOLID, ID
FROMSYSCOMMENTS
WHERECHARINDEX (CONVERT (VARCHAR(3), CHAR(13)+CHAR(13)), TEXT) > 0
but this also returns SPs containing 2 consecutive blank lines as well (which there are alot of due to formatting of T-SQL).
Really I need to distuinguish between
and new line which both appear to be CHAR(13)
Any one got any ideas
Thanks in advance

hi
we get ASCII data inserted into a SQL Server database by ODBC connection from an old UNIX system.
Example: INSERT INTO test.db VALUES ('123abc', '456ПРО')
All characters > 128 are converted to "?" automatically.
We tried to setup the database to the appropriate codepage, but we allways get "?" inserted.
I have an issue where I am storing various international characters in nvarchar columns, but need to branch the data at one point of processing so that ASCII characters are run through an additional cleansing process and all non-ASCII characters are set aside.
Is there a way to identify which nvarchar values are within the ASCII range and can be converted to varchar without corruption? Also, the strings may contain a mix of english and international character sets, so the entire string must be checked and not just the first character.
i.e.
Pass:
'Hello', 'abc123'
Fail:
'太平市', 'abc太123'
Hello all,
I have a table named users. It consists of user names, user ids, etc... The problem is that whoever designed the ASP code before me allowed people to enter info in any format they want. This poses a problem because now the name can have 1, 2, or sometimes 3 spaces in between the last and first names. And sometimes the middle initial is used with a period following it. This creates problems when I am trying to execute a Select statement since it won't match if there are an unknown number of spaces in the string and throws an error when a period is used.
Is there a SQL query I can execute to change all the user_names into a format such as the following:
LastName, FirstName MiddleInitial
Like I said, it is already almost the same, just has too many spaces and some have periods after the middle initial
I have a table called exchange and field called address. The rows(1400+) in the field look like:
MS:VA/Celcmv/VHACLEADAM%SMTP:Doe.Jane@med.va.gov%X200:c=US;a= ;p=av;o=Celcmv;s=Doe;g=Jane;
How do I remove everything to the left of doe.jane@med.va.gov and everything to the right of doe.jane@med.va.gov using query analyzer? Thank you in advance...
Can someone please suggest a function to remove the last 3 characters from a column? I was thinking of the LEN function, but I am unsure of the syntax.
Thanks!

Folks ... I have a pipe-delimited ASCII text file with a lot ofdifferent non-printing characters. Rather than try and figure out allthe non-printing characters that exist in this 17+ million recorddatabase, I was hoping someone might have already written a scriptthey'd be willing to share that would remove all non-printingcharacters from an ASCII file?Thanks,Ralph NobleJoin Bytes!

Hello,
I am using the following expression to strip the last 11 characters in a field group and it returns an error saying that Len cannot use a negative number. It must be 0 or greater. Is there a better alternative?

Hi,
I was wondering what would be the best way to remove special characters like, '-', '&' '(',')','#','*', etc... from a number string. To be specific a phone Number string where the string is >= 10.
Thanks, Mark
I have a table with several columns of information that I wish to set up some form of schedule to go through this data and remove any special characters that may interfere with other code processes.
Mainly the coma's and the apostrophes. It really messes with my asp pages and scripts when retrieving this information and trying to do other things with it, so I need to figure out how to remove these from the tables so it does not cause these issues.
Knowing this, I cannot figure out how to keep the data in the row/column and just extract the special characters from that data. The other problem is, everything I try requires me to insert either a coma or apostrophe as part of the code string which in lies my issue.
How can I parse through my data, leave the data as-is, but just get rid of coma's, apostrophes, and double quotes?
Does anyone have a basic example that I can use to expand on?
Hi I am trying to strip out any non-alpha characters from a field.
i.e. Field = ABC"_IT8*$ should return: ABCIT8
I am writing a loop to do this for all values of a field. The script runs, but hangs....please could somebody advise on the code below...:
I run the script but it doesn't seem to finish. Can anybody see any issues with the code:
DECLARE @Index SMALLINT,
@MATCH_Supplier_name varchar(500),
@Counter numeric,
@Max numeric
-- @sqlstring varchar(500)
SET @Counter = 1
SET @Max = (SELECT Max(DTect_Supplier_SRN) FROM SUPPLIER_TABLE_TEST)
WHILE @Counter <@Max
BEGIN
SET @MATCH_Supplier_name = (SELECT Match_Supplier_Name FROM SUPPLIER_TABLE_TEST WHERE @Counter = DTect_Supplier_SRN)
SET @Index = LEN(@MATCH_Supplier_name)
WHILE @Index > = 1
SET @MATCH_Supplier_name = CASE
WHEN SUBSTRING(@MATCH_Supplier_name, @Index, 1) LIKE '[a-zA-Z]' TH EN SUBSTRING(@MATCH_Supplier_name, @Index, 1)
WHEN SUBSTRING(@MATCH_Supplier_name, @Index, 1) LIKE '[0-9]' THEN SUBSTRING(@MATCH_Supplier_name, @Index, 1)
ELSE ''
END + @MATCH_Supplier_name
SET @Index = @Index - 1
--PRINT @MATCH_Supplier_name
SET @Counter = @Counter + 1
END
I have a table and one of the column have junk characters in it, how can I remove the junk characters?.
Eg : Employee
Eid Ename
1 a�
2 �ddd
how can i remove Junk characters and get only Enames from above table.
I usually do this through Access so I'm not too familiar with the string functions in SQL. My question is, how do you remove characters from the middle of a string?
Ex:
String value is 10 characters long.
The string value is X000001250.
The end result should look like, X1250.
I've tried mixing/matching multiple string functions with no success. The only solution I have come up with removes ALL of the zeros, including the tailing zero. The goal is to only remove the consecutive zeroes in the middle of the string.
I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.
DECLARE @Letters TABLE (Letter NVARCHAR(10))
INSERT INTO @Letters VALUES ('a'), ('A'), ('b'), ('B'), ('α')
SELECTLetter, REPLACE(Letter,'α','alpha')
FROM@Letters
In this case, the "α" is being replaced, but so are "a" and "A".
I have tried changing the datatype from varchar to nvarchar and also changing the collation.
Hi,
I have one column in which i have Alpha-numeric data like
COLUMN X
-----------------------
+91 (876) 098 6789
1-567-987-7655
.
.
.
.
so on.
I want to remove Non-numeric characters from above (space,'(',')',+,........)
i want to write something generic (suppose some function to which i pass the column)
thanks in advance,

In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

I want to know the individual character ascii code for "нолайн" .
when i try to get using select ascii('л') it's return code as 63 which is not correct (ascii code 63 is for "?").
how to get ascii code for this.
All, I have to automatically grap a dbf or ascii file from my hard drive and then insert that into an already existing database table. Does anyone know how to do this? The only thing I can find is to do it manually from enterprise manager, but I need to automate this.Thanks in advance!
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello one and all,
I’m new to T-sql and need help understanding the CHAR() and ASCII functions.
I tried to run these commands to better understand them but I get the same results each time.
Here is the query with the char command
USE Northwind
SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName, + CHAR(13) + Address,
+ CHAR(13) + City, + Region
FROM Employees
WHERE EmployeeID = 1
Nancy Davolio
507 - 20th Ave. E.
Apt. 2A
Seattle WA
(1 row(s) affected)
Here is the same command without the char function.
USE Northwind
SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName, + address, + city, + region
from employees
where employeeID = 1
address city region
------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- ---------------
Nancy Davolio 507 - 20th Ave. E.
Apt. 2A Seattle WA

As you can see I get the same results back except for the column names being displayed.
Please help me understand this.
Thank you,

I have an file I FTP onto the server using a FTP task in my DTS package. The problem I'm having is the FTP task downloads using binary format, whereas I need it to download using ascii format. Binary is causing characters in the file to change, and my import is failing.
Any idea on how to set it to download as ascii?
Hi
I am importing data from mainframe using DTS the problem is that I am getting some COMP fields from the mainframe these are compressed data fields that are used to reduce storage space on the main frame. Can some one please help me understand how we can use DTS to solve this problem that is decompress it before transferring to table in SQL server.
any code in scripting language to help decompress this datatype will be really appreciated.
Thanks

I need to generate Ascii 7 bit flat file, based on data in db, using integration services, FTP task. Currently i am generating file with ansi-latin and then using the script task converting it to the ascii 7. File looks to be generated properly. But when the target system reads this, they complain that the file has junk charecters some thing like this. when i open it after generating the file it looks fine to me in DOS also. I dont know what is the target system and what OS is used by them. what cud be the issue for these junk charecters and is it possible that a Ascii 7 file generated by windows doesnt work in other OS? If the method i am doing to generate the ascii 7 is not currect then what is the best method for this?

I am working on a project that will be mimicking an existing interface that we have with one our our clients. That interface today sends EBCDIC packed fields. We do not want to introduce changes to the external clients interface file when we rebuild it in SQL 2005 Integration Services and I need to find out how I can take ASCII data and convert it to the host (mainframe) representation, which is what we currently provide to our external client using Integration Services.
Has anyone had to do this? If so, can I accomplish it natively with SSIS, or do I need to look to a third party vendor for a component?
Thanks,
John
