Hi! I need to replace a string in a SQL table with a new path.
Essentially, I want to find and replace the share path while retaining the rest of the path past that point.
I tried using Update (on a test table of course) but it sompley find and replaces with no regards to the rest of the path.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Could someone please help me? I am trying to pull in a partial string (the last six characters of the field, to be exact).
This is an example of my code:
select *
into #temp_2
from #temp_1 a, Server2.DBa.dbo.table2 r
where r.field1r = a.field1a and
r.field3r = a.field3a (field3a is where I need just the last 6 characters)
To be more specific:
r.field3r looks like 000884
a.field3a looks like 17445000884
So- I just want to pull in the 000884 off of a.field3a

Is it possible using Sql2000 to compare the first four characters of a parameter?
WHERE (tblLinkInfo.CG_ID = @BCG_ID) AND ( 'first 4 characters' of Location_Zip.Zip = 'first 4 characters' of @ZipCodeIn)
Sorry, I realize that this is probably a pretty simple question for you, but I am in a quick time bind and would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this update that I'm trying to run.
Let's say you have a table (call it testtable) that contains the column "text".
Now in column text you want to replace all instantiations of the phrase "in the US" with "to the United States", how would you structure your update query to perform this change (Please note that this phrase could be embedded in the middle of a larger sentence like 'Send a package in the US'. You'd want to change this instance to 'Send a package to the United States')
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it guys.
how do i update a table which has like two strings in 1 column like
blog, joe ?
i want to strip the joe into a new field and the blog into another field
update Agency
set firstname= substring(firstname,charindex(' ',firstname)+1 ,len(firstname))
i managed to strip the first name which is the string at the back but not the last name which is the string at the front
Daily, I have to map thoursands of items into its correct category. What I have to do is Filter item by the ClSID and SCLISD, then look into the Label for where the item should be. For example from the attachment,
CLSID = 1 and SCLSID = 23 - if in the label has the keyword "notebook", its NEW_CAT should be 14 and its NEW_CATNAME is LAPTOPS;
CLSID = 1 and SCLSID = 23 - if in the Label contains Tablet PC, its NEW_CAT name should be 2474 and its NEW_CATNAME is PC LAPTOPS.
CLSID = 3 and SCLSID = 54 - if in the Label contains Watch, its NEW_CAT name should be A6052 and its New_CATNAME is SMART WATCH.
Basically, the work flow is looking into the CLSID, then SCLSID,then, Label and then assign a correct NEW_CAT and NEW_CATNAME of the item.
I have written a code but I can't get it look into specific CLSID and SCLSID.
For example, i have when upper(Label) like upper ('%Tablet%PC%') then '2474 PC Laptops'
I couldn't attach either the file or image.
I have to write one query to exclude data from partial string in the predicate.
Select * from table where col NOT in ('%abc%,%xyz%).
So the data where col value doesn't contain the ABC and xyz string value only should be selected. I am also getting xyz data in the result.
Select
left(
[Description],(charindex(';',[Description],1)-1))
from xxxx
Example of Description contains
Ankle Supports; Color=Black; Size=S
So I want the left side up to and NOT including the semi colon.
I have this situation that I need to read a spreadsheet with user names into a sql table where user name is just one of the columns. I tried using oledb connection to read the spreadsheet and sqlbulkcopy to import into sql table. There was no error, but the data wasn't imported into sql. Does anyone have any suggestion what I did wrong or what is the right way of doing this? Thanks a lot. Mia

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have the following two tables :
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.
I have a nasty situation in SQL Server 7.0. I have a table, in whichone column contains a string-delimited list of IDs pointing to anothertable, called "Ratings" (Ratings is small, containing less than tenvalues, but is subject to change.) For example:[ratingID/descr]1/Bronze2/Silver3/Gold4/PlatinumWhen I record rows in my table, they look something like this:[uniqueid/ratingIDs/etc...]1/2, 4/...2/null/...3/1, 2, 3/...My dilemma is that I can't efficiently read rows in my table, match thestring of ratingIDs with the values in the Ratings table, and returnthat in a reasonable fashion to my jsp. My current stored proceduredoes the following:1) Query my table with the specified criteria, returning ratingIDs as acolumn2) Split the tokens in ratingIDs into a table3) Join this small table with the Ratings table4) Use a CURSOR to iterate through the rows and append it to a string5) Return the string.My query then returns...1/"Silver, Platinum"2/""3/"Bronze, Silver, Gold"And is easy to output.This is super SLOW! Queries on ~100 rows that took <1 sec now take 12secs. Should I:a) Create a junction table to store the IDs initially (I didn't thinkthis would be necessary because the Ratings table has so few values)b) Create a stored procedure that does a "SELECT * FROM Ratings," putthe ratings in a hashtable/map, and match the values up in Java, sinceJava is better for string manipulation?c) Search for alternate SQL syntax, although I don't believe there isanything useful for this problem pre-SQL Server 2005.Thanks!Adam
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?
Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000
I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''
I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed.
After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.
Code Snippet
if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename)
drop table @temptablename
It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.
Heres what the stored procedure does.
I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable'
I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA'
then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.
Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.
Code Snippet
Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA
Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02',
FROM TableB
where ColumnB = 003860
Group By ColumnA, ColumnB
TRUNCATE TABLE TableA
Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02',
From #temptableabcd
Group by ColumnA, ColumnB
The above coding produces
Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.
Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?
Thanks for the help.
Does anyone know where to find or how to write a quick user defined fucntionthat will return a table object when passed the string name of the tableobject. The reason why I want dynamicallly set the table name in a storedprocudue WITHOUT using concatination and exec a SQL String.HenceIf @small_int_parameter_previous = 1 then@vchar_tablename = "sales_previous"else@vchar_tablename = "sales"Endselect * from udf_TableLookup(@vchar_tablename )So if I pass 1, that means I want all records from "sales_previous"otherwise give me all records from "sales" (Sales_Previous would last yearssales data for example).udf_TableLookup would I guess lookup in sysobjects for the table name andreturn the table object? I don't know how to do this.I want to do this to avoid having 2 stored procedures..one for current andone for previous year.Please respond to group so others may benfiit from you knowledge.ThanksErik
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm an SQL novice, but I know this must be a common problem.
I'm trying to select a recordset (using ASP), but I know I only want part of the recordset, and am not sure how to limit it ahead of time.
For example, the query will return about 500 rows, but I know I only want to use a small section of these records.
I want to give the user the ability to navigate through small sections of these 500 rows without having to get all rows all the time.
I know ahead of time which rows to get, but have no idea how to limit the recordset before I get it (there is no fields in the database to help).
This is what I'm doing now. "select * from xyz where id=xxx order by date desc;" I know I only want the first 10, or 10-20, or 400-410.
The way I'm doing it now, I'm getting the whole recordset each time, doing a "rs.move x" where x is where I want to start.
This is really a waste of network traffic and memory since my SQL server is on a different machine as the web server running ASP.
How do I do this?
Please email me if you could at pmt@vantagenet.com

Hi Guys,
I have started a project using Linq for sql and SSCE. Everything goes well until I realize that SSCE can only run in full trust. Linq for sql is planned to support partial trust scenario. Any plans for such a support in Sql Compact Edition?

The following code accepts a couple of parameters and creates a temp table to hold unpaid schedule rows (like invoices). Then is takes the payment amount passed and starts paying the oldest ones first, until it runs out of money or pays a partial. When it pays it inserts a row in the applieds table with the schedule_ID, Receipt_ID (payment id), applied amount, and applied date.
What I need help with is: Say there is a partial payment from a previous payment, I need to pay that one, but only the unpaid part. Then continue to pay other schedule rows...

In our database we have the concept of 'Companies' each company has an entry in a tblCompanyControls using a field lCompanyNumber to uniquely identify it.
Company specific data is then grouped within additional tables using this
lCompanyNumber.
Thus all the departments for a particular company (eg 4) exist in a table
tblDepartments with lCompanyNumber =4. The same applies for pensions, pay
elements, employees and so on.
Each employee has various attributes stored in several tables, thus the
main data is stored in tblEmployees with an lCompanyNumber to illustrate
the company they belong to. And a system generated lUniqueID that is the 1
to many relationship to tables such as tblEmployeePayElements,
tblEmployeePensionSchemes.
These in turn have a primary key that establishes a 1 to many with the
period data for pay elements etc.
What we want to do is replicate only the data for a specific company, for
tblEmployees, tblDepartments this looks straightforward as i just set a
filter like 'tblEmployees.lCompanyNumber = 4'. My problem is how do I
replicate just the tblEmployeePayElements for those employees that are in
the specific company as the table does not contain the lCompanyNumber. Can
you replicate a view? I an quite ignorant of replication and would really
appreciate some pointers. Note DRI is not in use.
I am are running SQLSERVER SP4 on WINNT SP3.
I am serious problem of partial update my query is
something like
bEGIN tRAN
declare cursor...
SElect * from tableA where flag = null
open cursor
fetch first...
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
UPDATE TABLE tableB ..
.
.
.
fetch next
END
CLOSE ...
DEALLOCATE..
COMMIT TRAN
The problem is the cursor select retrieves
says about 10000 rows, goes thru the
loop for 1000 rows and just terminates without
giving an error message,or rolling back
in case of errors, but comes out as successfully
completed.
I am at loss as what could be the problems..
any suggestions welcome..
Thanks in advance,

Guys, i have a table that one of the columns (Email To) is
a concatenated list of email addresses separated by semi colons ";".
i.e.:
rrb7@yahoo.com;richard.butcher@sthou.com;administr ator@sthou.com
etc like that.
each row varies with one exception. administrator@sthou.com is in each one.
is there a simple way thru sql or T-SQL to delete that "administrator@sthou.com" part? or should i call each row individually into say, a VB.net form using a split with the deliminator ";"
and then looping thru and updating each row?
thanks again for any easy answer

I have been asked to see what I can recover from a development server whose database became suspect during a power failure.
One developer from another group who's time is limited tried to repair the database using checkdb, but it is still suspect.
There are no recent backups of anything whatsoever. Needless to say, we are lacking in DBA skills here. At this point, we don't care whether we get the data back, but we are desperate to recover the table definitions, user-defined functions and stored procedures -- if not all of them than most of them; if not most of them than some.
What are our options here?
Are their any good third-party tools to help us with this problem?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a file where there is a partial row at the end. It doesn't cause an error, but I get a "partial row" warning during execution.
What do most people do with these partial rows? Do they just ignore them as long as they don't cause errors? Or is it better to handle the partial row with a conditional split, for example?
Just wondering what other people's thoughts on this are. I tend to be of the "get rid of it" camp, but maybe that's overkill? Just looking for opinions, best practices.

Hi - I am using partial backup & restore on a Data Warehouse database currently in development.
When I recently tested the restore procedure I got the following error when trying to an online restore of one of the ReadOnly filegroups:
Msg 3125, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The database is using the simple recovery model. The data in the backup it is not consistent with the current state of the database. Restoring more data is required before recovery is possible. Either restore a full file backup taken since the data was marked read-only, or restore the most recent base backup for the target data followed by a differential file backup.
I believe I received this message as the Filegroup I was attempting to restore had been set ReadWrite since it was backed up.
So - I am looking for a query to test that all my filegroup backups are consistent with the live database.
I think I can achieve this by checking the read_write_lsn & read_only_lsn values for the filegroup to restore are the same as the values in sys.master_files for the live database.
I am reading the lsn values for the backup from msdb.dbo.backupfile
Can anyone confirm this is the correct approach? or is there a better way to do this??
Many Thanks
I have a question, I keep getting the warning where the lookup found duplicate reference key values when caching reference data. It also says to switch over to partial or no cache mode. I switched to partial and and it took way longer to run my package. I have around 200,000 records right now but this table will continue to grow. I guess my question is which mode should I be using? I have another table that will have millions of records in it.
thanks,

If I order by the whole field I get:
LCA - A
LCA - L
LCB - A
LCB - L
LCE - A
LCE - M
LCF - L
LCF - M
What I want is:
LCA - L
LCB - L
LCF - L
LCA - A
LCB - A
LCE - A
LCE - M
LCF - M
I'm still at the stage in this project were I can 'split' the field (if I have to) into first 3 and last 1. But the sort order of the last 1 is not alphabetic (I want 'L', 'A', "M").
Can I substitute a custom SortOrder some way ? (I've done that with mainframe Cobol).
All suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Replicating partial database
Hi there, actually I have a set of tables from my database model on SQL SERVER 2005 that I want to replicate (using merge replication) to a different server with SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS, Everything seems to be ok until I try so replicate just a portion of my model. I€™ve got some parent tables to replicate but I€™m not going to replicate some of their children, when I try to move them (just the parents and SOME children) to the other server using subscription, I have to erase some foreign keys (the children€™s foreign keys I wasn€™t supposed to migrate) in the target server to get my database migrated.
What Can I do to solve this problem?
