hey
i'm having a problem with a stored procedure, to cut a long story short i need to replace apostrophe's in my text, like so
SET @prOtherValue = REPLACE(@prOtherValue,''', '''')
this doesn't work tho
whats the work around
cheers!!!!
I'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 "". I'm guessing there is a better way. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Ridium
Hello
Can anyone tell me how to replace a single apostrophe in a record with a double apostrophe (in Query Analyzer, SQL7)? I've tried "select replace("d'","d'","d''")FROM RESORT" but it doesn't UPDATE the table.
Suggestions gratefully received!
Mark
replace(lastname," ' '",'"x"') (spaces for clarity only)
Result:
Invalid column name ' ' '.
How do I get around the invalid column name?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Hai,
In my datedabase I have some customers with the next name: 't Woud.
The problem is the apostrophe in my query for my drill through.
This is my query:
SELECT DISTINCT c.alias AS Client, p.Alias AS Periode, u.alias as Product, v.alias as Verschil, CAST(s.indicatie AS decimal(6, 2)) AS Indicatie, CAST(s.realisatie AS decimal(6, 2)) AS Realisatie, CAST(s.real_indic AS decimal(6, 2)) AS [Realisatie -/- Indicatie], CAST(s.indicatie_fin AS decimal(6,0)) AS [Indicatie Fin], CAST(s.realisatie_fin AS decimal(6,0)) AS [Realisatie Fin], CAST(s.real_indic_fin AS decimal(6,0)) AS [Realisatie -/- Indicatie Fin]
FROM [BI_TZR].dbo.fact_clientsignaal s INNER JOIN
[BI_TZR].dbo.dim_verschil v ON s.verschil = v.verschil INNER JOIN
[BI_TZR].dbo.Dim_Periodewk p ON s.periode = p.Periode INNER JOIN
[BI_TZR].dbo.dim_client_uren c ON s.client_id = c.id INNER JOIN
[BI_TZR].dbo.dim_product u ON s.product = u.product
WHERE (LEFT(p.Alias, 1) = 'p') AND (c.alias like '%794735%') and s.kplts <> '1583'
ORDER BY s.product, s.periode
I try this:
SELECT DISTINCT replace ( c.alias, 'd', '') AS Client, this works, for the caracter D. But know I want it for the caracter apostrophe.
Can someone help me??

That is only part of a large query that writs a SQL Query to a column in a Database. That Query (in the column) is just ran normally so I don't need to compile it each time I want to run it.
THe problem I have is @FieldName might be: ryan's field.
That apostrophe is killing me because the SQL keeps it as ryan's field, not ryan''s field(note the 2 apostrophes). I cannot do: REPLACE(@FieldName, ''', '''') because it's not closing the apostrophes. Is there an escape character that I can use to say only one: ' ?
I tried:
DECLARE @t VARCHAR(500)
SET @t = (SELECT [Name] FROM [Form].[Fields] WHERE FieldID = 1)
print @t -- @t will print: Ryan's Field
PRINT QUOTENAME('' + @t + '', '''')
but that gives me: 'Ryan''s Field'
Any help would rock. If I make any changes to the way this field is input into the DataBase, I know I will need to do a lot of re-work in many spots. WHich is why i'm trying to solve this on the SQL side.
Hi,
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
DataGrid1.DataBind()

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,
Mark.
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?
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,
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

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

I need to create a function that replaces the data in a column with an 'X' based on the LEN of the data in the column. I created one that does a replacement, but it fills the column based on the max data length, and not the current length of the string or integer. An example of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Original data in a varchar(30) column:
thisisavalue
thisisanothervalue
thisisanothervalueagain
shortval
replaced with
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
My current function is replacing the data like this:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
