Hi,
I posted a request here and am still working on it when I landed on this bug.
select top 10 replace(comma_separated_string,',','giveaverylongp assagehere') from table
The function works fine if the comma separated string is small or if the passage is small. It fails for long passages..
Is this a mssql bug?
hi, I'm trying to get rid of the intermediate double space from the following string:
DOC-#911585 P.O.-Box-41
so I do:
select replace('DOC-#911585 P.O.-Box-41',' ','-')
and it yields:
DOC-#911585--P.O.-Box-41
BUT
if I do:
select replace(fieldFrommyTable,' ','-') from myTable
where myaddressVal='DOC-#911585 P.O.-Box-41'
SQL Server does nothing with the double white space...
the double space remains, what am I missing?
HELP!
thank you

Hi folks,I'm doing calculations based on data in a table, but the data has somezeros in the field I'm dividing by. I'm trying to write a script toreplace any field with 0 or null with 1, but it's not working. HEre'swhat I've got:Update A Set A.deptcode = A.deptcode,A.type = A.Type,A.Volume = (case A.VolumeWhen Null Then 1When 0 then 1Else A.VolumeEnd)From Data_Unsorted A Join Data_Unsorted B OnA.deptcode = B.deptcode and A.type = B.TypeMy table is data_unsorted and deptcode and type are my primary keysVolume is the item I want to put 1 if null or zero, and I'd thing theabove statement would work, but it doesn't. This table has 383 rows,and it says it updates 383 rows, but when I run the following query totest:select a.deptcode, a.type, a.volumefrom data_unsorted awhere a.AveMonthVolume = 0 or a.AveMonthVOlume is nullIt didn't work... still TONS of nulls and zero's. Is there a trick tothis???Thanks,Alex.

I have a table with a field called productname, and it has about 5000 rows, and within that about 1000 have a productname that has 'NIB' in the name, ie "My Product NIB DVD" and I have been asked to replace 'NIB' with 'New' ie "My Product New DVD" Can I do this in SQL using an Update statement? Or do I have build something in maybe asp.net to use a replace function to change the name.
Thanks
I am using MSDE. In this I have a field that contains a desciption. Prior to saving to the db, I replace all vbcrlf's to <br />'s. That works fine when displaying in HTML, but when I display it in a datagrid, I want to replace the <br />'s with vbcrlf's.
I thought I might be able to do it with a replace function in my SQL query, something like "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description". This produces an error that vbcrlf is not a fieldname. So I tried "select replace(Description, '<br />', 'xxx') as Description", and while this did not create an error, neither was the text replaced.
Am I not using the replace function correctly? Is there another way in which I might accomplish the task?
Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database=dbname"
Dim CommandText As String
'Command text is greatly abreviated for this discussion.
CommandText = "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description"
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim myCommand As New SqlDataAdapter(CommandText, myConnection)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim dv as new dataview()
myCommand.Fill(ds)
DataGrid1.DataSource = ds

I have a need to evaluate a parameter to use like keywords. (Not my server, so indexing is not available.) I can get the first scenario to work, but wanted to see about getting the syntax so I wouldn't have to exec the statement. If I run the first execute statement, I get three rows (accurate). If I run the second statement, I get no rows. Anybody help me out with the syntax? I've tried so many variations, I'm lost. Many thanks.

Is it possible to replace 4 different values into one alias column?
ie REPLACE(EligStatus, '0', 'Verified') AS VRFD
..now I need to replace 3 other values with words but i want to keep them in the same VRFD column so I can add it to the report layout.
or is there a better way to do it?
I can't set up a linking table because nowhere in the DB are the values linked to the actual status.
Thanks in advance,

Let's try this again.
When I try to use the replace function in my query it ignores the "<" and ">" characters, so that this query:select Description, replace(Description, '<', '* * *') as [Description 1] , replace(Description, 'br /', '? ? ?') as [Description 2] from TT_Projects
produces these results:
Description | Description 1 | Description 2
testsfv <br /> | testsfv <br /> | testsfv <? ? ?> I also tried to replace char(60) with no success.
Any ideas why this is happening?
how should i use replace function in sql statement??

Hi,
We have this syntax from Microsoft for Replace function:
REPLACE ( string_expression1 , string_expression2 , string_expression3 )
I want to search for two keywords and not only one:
images and images/ (second one is with back slash.
Is it possible to include something like:
images/ OR images in expression2 like
REPLACE ( string_expression1 ,'images/ OR images', string_expression3 )
I want something like that, how do I get that please?
Thank you.
I have 2 tables
1) One With ExchangeRates
a. CurrencyCode ValidFromPeriod Rate
b. EX1 200801 1
c. EX1 200803 2
d. EX1 200805 3
2) One with just OrderHeaders
a. ID CurrencyCode Period
b. 1 EX1 200801
c. 2 EX1 200802
d. 3 EX1 200803
e. 4 EX1 200804
f. 5 EX1 200805
The Idea is to link these orderheaders with their correct ExchangeRate. Which I only managed to do by using a function. Is there a beter (faster) way to do it?
Code Snippet
SELECT OrderHeaders.ID, OrderHeaders.CurrencyCode, OrderHeaders.Period, dbo.GetExchangeRate(OrderHeaders.CurrencyCode, OrderHeaders.Period) AS ExchangeRate FROM OrderHeaders
FUNCTION GetExchangeRate
@CurrencyCode VarChar(3),
@Period int
BEGIN
DECLARE @VarResult Float
SET @VarResult =0
SELECT TOP 1 @VarResult=Rate FROM ExchangeRates WHERE CurrencyCode=@CurrencyCode AND ValidFromPeriod<=@Period ORDER BY ValidFromPeriod DESC
Return @VarResult
END

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm would like to replace all occurrences of "99999" and "-99999" with "" in a column using SSIS. I can use the REPLACE function in a Derived Column to replace one of those strings, for example: REPLACE(mycolumn,"99999",""). Or to replace both I could use REPLACE(REPLACE(mycolumn,"-99999",""),"99999",""). This seems kind of cumbersome and would get very complicated if I were replacing more strings with "".

Dear Community,We have a problem with null-Bytes in varchar-Columns, which are nothandled correctly in our application. Therefor we try to filter themout using the Transact-SQL REPLACE function.The Problem was, that the REPLACE-function didn't behave the way weexpected.Following Example demonstrates the behavior:declare @txt varchar(512)declare @i intset @txt = 'hello ' + char(0) + 'world'print @txtset @i = 1while @i <= len(@txt)beginprint str(@i) + substring(@txt, @i, 1)set @i = @i + 1endprint 'Length: ' + str(len(@txt))print 'trying to replace null-byte:'print replace(@txt, char(0), '*')print 'replace Letter h'print replace(@txt, 'h', char(39))-- end exampleOutput:hello1h2e3l4l5o678w9o10r11l12dLength: 12trying to replace null-byte:*replace Letter h'elloThe Null-Byte replace destroys the whole string. This behavior occursonly on some of ourdatabases. The others work correctly.Is it possible that it depends on some server setting?ThanksEnno

Function not working right. I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I wrote this sql function which takes a comma seperated string of numbers, splits the numbers seperately and stores it in a table. I have specified the input parameter type as text instead of varchar, the size of the string can get more than 8000.
But the function is not working properly if the input size is more than 8000. For example if the input string is of length 8005 and this is the input string from 7995 to 8005 - '123,124,125'. It works fine till 123 and after that it throws an error, Syntax error converting the varchar value '124,125' to a column of data type int. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I am using string functions like charindex, substring. I can post the full function if you want.
Thanks.
