Anyone know how to check the length of a varchar data in a table? I want to delete rows that contains an entry that exceeds 100 characters.
I should be able to write a program to do it, but I am wondering if I can do it in SQL.
Hello,
I recently used the REPLACE command, as described in a previous topic on this forum, to remove unwanted commas however I've now got a new problem, the column has become half a mile long. I was asked to raise a new topic and give examples, see below:
CAN ANYONE TELL ME:
1. Why is the column now bigger?
2. How can I redue the size of the column to it's origional size?
I have already attempted to use CONVERT, RTRIM and CAST around the replace command, all give an error.
Example query and result before REPLACE:
select ICMAFinInstName,CptyCode from tradedetails
ICMAFinInstName CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Example query and result using REPLACE:
select replace (ICMAFinInstName,',',' ')AS NoCommaInst,CptyCode from tradedetails
NoCommaInstrument CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
(I see in the preview that this forum has removed the spaces between the titles, but the dashes (--) show the size of the columns
Thanks
JM
Do anyone know of a function, that I can use to removed commas
from a string? eg. "The lady, cross the road" should be "The lady cross the road"
Thanks, Vic
Hi,
Please give the DML to SELECT the rows avoiding the duplicate rows. Since there is a text column in the table, I couldn't use aggregate function, group by (OR) DISTINCT for processing.
Table :
create table test(col1 int, col2 text)
go
insert into test values(1, 'abc')
go
insert into test values(2, 'abc')
go
insert into test values(2, 'abc')
go
insert into test values(4, 'dbc')
go
Please advise,
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying to remove rows of data when the value in a textbox in the row is 0.
My expression for a value of a textbox in my report layout is:
=Fields!salary_FTE.Value+Fields!Leave_FTE.Value
Could you please show me how I edit this expression so a row of data does not show when the value in this textbox is 0, or, should I create this filter in my query rather than in the report layout?
Thanks

Hello all,
Im looking for an efficient way to remove all end of line character from a string.
Is there a function to do that or to replace them with another character?
I have to write a query to update the table to remove dots .... from the string value.
so i could write.
UPDATE tbaddress
SET Title='New address'
WHERE Title='New address....'
but, there could be more than this specific record in the table, so i have to find each single record to do this. Is there a way to update the table so I can just remove the .... but rest of the text remain.
thanks
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to use an SQL Function to remove everything from the mess of characters below except 'Test.' Really, any message could be substituted, so it's not as easy to leave everything except the 'Test.' string.
{
tf1ansiansicpg1252deff0deflang1033{fonttbl{f0fnilfcharset0 MS Shell Dlg 2;}{f1fnil MS Shell Dlg 2;}}
{colortbl ;
ed0green0lue0;}
{*generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}viewkind4uc1pard x720cf1f0fs20 Test.f1par
}
It's RichText.
The fs20 could be fs24, fs25, etc. (any numbers). The end of the number would be the point to trim the beginning off.
The '' seems like it would be the point to start trimming the end off.
I've been experimenting with SUBSTRING together with CHARINDEX, but am just not getting even close to coming up with a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.

Hi,
I have results from a survey in a table, every entry is assigned a unique ID. I want to remove duplicate entries based on the survey data but not on the unique ID (obviously).
So far I have...SELECT DISTINCT RespondantID, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q13
FROM Results
But that gives...

I.e. in the above example, it would seem that 'Martin' submitted his data once and then submitted it again with his name.
How can I remove the '2 - Anonymous' frrom the data set?

i've to generate a notepad using this query in vb.net :
strSql = "Select count(*), d.ShareholderId, d.UsufructId, d.BnkAccount, b.SBMCode, " & _
"LTRIM(ISNULL(d.TitleCode + ' ', '')) + LTRIM(ISNULL(d.Forename + ' ', '')) + d.Surname as ShName," & _
"d.BankCode, (select count(*) from (select ShareholderId from dividend " & _
"where CompCode = 'L1' and PaymentMode = 'B' group by ShareholderId, UsufructId, " & _
[Code]....
In the select statement i need to select "d.amount" as well. When i do so, it ask me to insert it in the group by option or in an aggregate function.
Grouping by "d.amount" returns extra field as there can be 2 similar "d.shareholderId" but with different amount.
how to group the "d.amount" without having repetition in the "d.shareholderid" ??
I am running a query on multiple tables and the data I get back consists of several repeated rows but with one column different. I want to take out those repeated rows and for the column that is different join that data and separate it by a comma. Can this be done?
Ex.
Cindy Lair 111 Drury Circle Harrisburg Pennsylvania 717
Cindy Lair 111 Drury Circle Harrisburg Pennsylvania 610
Cindy Lair 111 Drury Circle Harrisburg Pennsylvania 310
So i would like this data to come up as:
Cindy Lair 111 Drury Circle Harrisburg Pennsylvania 717,610,310

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.

Hi all I was wondering whether it was possible to remove or delete part of a String in a Field? Lets take for example I have:
- A Table called: Table_1
- A Field called: MyField
- MyField contains the value: Hello I am on the msdn forums
Is it possible to perform an UPDATE Query which deletes part of that sentence? If this was hard coded it would be rather simple but if the phrase was changing which would lead to the sentence also changing is it possible to do this?
Lets say I wanted to remove the part which said msdn forums. Then UPDATE the field again which should leave out the bit msdn forums.
Appreciate the responses, Onam.

I have a SqlDataSource that I need to remove the first 3 rows from before it is bound to a GridView. How would I go about doing this?
(if I could remove them at the db level in the sproc I would, but right now that is not an option - so I need to do it once I've already received the data)
Thanks.
I have an existing stored table with duplicate rows that I want to delete.Using a cte gives me
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT rn = ROW_NUMBER()
OVER(
PARTITION BY employeeid, dateofincident, typeid, description
ORDER BY Id ASC), *
FROM dbo.TableName
)
DELETE FROM cte
WHERE rn > 1
This is what I want to do basically. But this is only deleting in my CTE, is there anyway I can update my existing table "TableName" with this, without using temp tables?
I need to build a query, or use a function to removing alfabetic Character from a string.
My string is
WI14000323-0003
The value i want to keep is : 14000323-0003.
I try using this SELECT:
SELECT STUFF(Upper(z.lote), PATINDEX('%[A-Z]%', Upper(z.lote)), 2, '') from mytable
but in this case i have only 2 letters WI, but in the future i dont know if is only 2 letters, 1 letter or more, then is not what i pretend.
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.
How to write a function to remove duplicated characters only if they come in sequence.
Examples
darrk should return dark
eeagle should return eagle
redd should return red
corner should corner as it is as the r's are not in sequence.

Hello Everybody,I have a problem that I have an exception from a SQLDataSource when a user types in more characters to a TextBox then is allowed.First of all - is there ant built in ASP.NET way to handle that problem?Second - if not then I have to handle the Exception from the SQLDataSource myself. I can write a handler for that which will look like:1 protected void DetailsViewDS_OnUpdated(object sender, SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs e)
2 {
3 if (e.Exception != null)
4 {
5 // do some stuff
6 }
7 }
The problem is that I would like to show the user an error message which says how many characters he can insert. So the other question is: is there any way to get automatically from the SQL DB what is a maximum length of a varchar? If I use LEN/LENGTH it gives me the current length of given entry (which actually is the current length of the varchar). But I want to get the maximum length of this concrete varchar (NOT the varchar(max) - this shows maximum length of a varchar in general - like ~20000 ).I hope I did not make it too complex ;)All the best,Joseph A. Habdank
How to separate a long string and put them into three columns.
For example string
Toronto|Ontario|Canada,Dallas|Texas|USA,New York|New York|USA,Windsor|Ontario|Canada
I have a table with 5 columns, 3 columns are City, State and Country.
I would like to separate them and put those into categories
Continent City State Country Added
Toronto Ontario Canada
Dallas Texas USA
New York New York USA
I have a column with varchar(2000) that contains events with time-stamps. The data looks something like this for a record:
03:14:46: abc 03:14:47: def 03:14:59: xyz 03:15:17: zzz
I would like to parse out each time-stamp and event to a separate columns, like
col1= 03:14:46: abc
col2= 03:14:47: def
col3= 03:14:59: xyz
col4= 03:15:17: zzz
The number of events are dynamic so number of time-stamps with events can be anything from 2-30 of them.
Anyone would suggest how I can resolve this?
Thanks.
Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005.
I have four tables namely – Forums,Topics,Threads and Messages in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :-
SELECT Forums.forumid AS ForumID,Topics.topicid AS TopicID,Topics.name AS TopicName,LastPosts.date as LastPostDate,LastPosts.author AS Author,
(select count(threadid) from Threads where Threads.topicid=Topics.topicid) as NoOfThreads
FROM Forums JOIN Topics ON Forums.forumid=Topics.forumid
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT Topics.forumid,Threads.topicid,Messages.date,Messages.author FROM Topics
INNER JOIN Threads ON Topics.topicid = Threads.topicid
INNER JOIN Messages ON Threads.threadid=Messages.threadid
WHERE Messages.date=(SELECT MAX(date) FROM Messages WHERE Messages.threadid = Threads.threadid)
) as LastPosts
ON LastPosts.forumid = Topics.forumid AND LastPosts.topicid = Topics.topicid
Whose result set is as below:-
forumid
topicid
name
LastPostDate
author
NoOfThreads

I have tested the code below to remove duplicate table entries based on the field IntOOS. This code works; however, I want to ensure I am removing the oldest entries and keeping the most recent entry. The field to key on this would be something like Max(ID). What would be the best way to ensure I keep the most recent table entry?

Hi there, I'm having a problem when I insert a string (from C#) which is 167 characters long. The field in SQL Server Express is a varchar(250), but the string gets cut of somehow at 150 characters.
Why does this happen?
The table and stored proc I use are defined like this:
USE [Test]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[tblImage] Script Date: 05/18/2006 10:42:27 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblImage](
[imgID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[persID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[imgPad] [varchar](250) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spInsertImage]
@persID BIGINT
, @imgPad VARCHAR(150)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO tblImage ( persID
, imgPad )
VALUES ( @persID
, @imgPad)
END
Does anybody know what is going on?
Thanks,
Starik
Any way to parse out a text value (not varChar, using text data type) that is > than 8000 characters long? I'm looping through 1 big string passed to the DB that is pipe delimited, but I find myself needing the substring function to keep track of which segment I'm acting on (after an update, I then need to take that segment and remove it from the string)...but the subString function won't take anything larger than 8000 chars.
Say I have this string that is text data type...
'aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|....'
..and so on, surpassing 8000 char length, how could you parse it out using the pipes as the delimter, then do an Update using that segment? Afterward, return to that string and find the next segment, then use it, and so on (in a loop). I tried using an update to set the string = replace(string, segmentJustUsed, '') to "erase" it, but replace can't take text as the datatype. Any help? Hope this isn't to confusing.
