The criteria is:
Where 1010222222 will be 0020222222
So i want to make a script that enables me to substitute all the data in that columm that begin by "101" for "002"
Any help?

I need to do an update to several tables that would update just a few characters w/in a string. So if the String is 1122334455 I would need to update just '1122' and replace with '0000' - leaving '0000224455'.
I've tried the update/replace functions and they're not working. How would I do this or would I just create a trigger?
Thanks in advance any info
I moved a database from one server to another, in this database are references to a UNC path on the server. now I need to find a way to modify the server name that was in each row to reflect the new server name and path, ex:
\server1path1data to now say
\server2path2data
how do I selectivly modify just some of the data? or do I have to basically re-write the entire column for each row?
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.
After converting from SSIS 2008 to SSIS 2012, I am facing major performance slowdown while loading fact data.When we used 2008 - one file used to take around 2 hours average and now after converting to 2012 - it took 17 hours to load one file. This is the current scenario: We load data into Staging and Select everything from Staging (28 million rows) and use a lookups for each dimension. I believe it is taking very long time due to one Dimension table which has (89 million rows).Â
With the lookup, we currently are using partial cache because full cache caused system out of memory.Lookup Transformation Editor - on this lookup -Â how to increase the size on partial Cache size 64-bit? I am being stuck at 4096 MB and can not increase it. In 2008, I had 200,000 MB partial cache size.
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
I have a database of about 300,000 records.
The records were imported from a csv file.
One of the fields is duration.
The data in duration are like ths:
1 second: 0:01
26 minutes: 26:00
If i put the format of the field as time, the data are messed up.
0:01 becomes 1 minute.
26:00 becomes 1 day 2 hours.
I currently have duration as text.
How can i use sql or visual basic to replace all the data so that they can have the format "00:00:00"?
(0:01 becomes 00:00:01, 26:00 becomes 00:26:00)
I need the duration in time format in order to be able to make sum calculations.
I will be doing the same calculations every month so i need the above procedure to be able to execute it every time i need to.
Thank you in advace

There are 4 tables in a database. such as university, student, professor and worker. university table contains fields named- university_name, student_name, professor_name and worker_name. and student, professor and worker tables contain person_id and person_name.
Now, I want to replace the student_name, professor_name and worker_name data from university table with student table's person_id, professor table's person_id and worker table's person_id.
I am working with a database containing time series data. In many, cases there is missing data. For example, while there might be a value for 2001-01-01T23:00:00, there is none for 2001-01-01T23:0100 (one minute later). I would like to replace the missing data with data from the previous record (if the previous record is the same date). Is that possible with T-SQL?

We are thinking of using general purpose column names in our application schema. We want to give the option to the end user to customize the filed names to fit their business . We want to build the functionality on the generic names so that it will work for multiple customes.
Example: We may want to have 10 Strings, 10 numbers and 5 booleans pre defined and reports running off of the table. The customer can name first number as pressure, second one for length and map their data to the table. Other customer can use the first number for temperature and the second one for width.
Is there a way to do it in SQL server w/o having a lookup table for column name aliasing?
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello guys,
I would like to execute a t-sql query and replace a string by another in all records.
I did this :
UPDATE myTable
SET myColumn = replace(myColumn,'old string','new string')
The error I get is :
Argument data type ntext is invalid for argument 1 of replace function.
Thank you very much for any help!

Hi, I was wondering if it is posible as in derived columns to replace an input column with the output one in Data Conversion?
What I can see that when a data conversion is done, only we can do it in a new column and not in the same one we are using as input.
Do you know if this it is posible?}
Thanks for your help!

I am working with a database named €œDocuments€? that contains 4 categories of text documents, each having its own number designation in an integer datatype column named SectionTypeId:
1 = Text
2 = Report
3 = Background
4 = Index
I would like to create a new column named €œDocType€? in which the integer data type for each document is replaced with a varchar data type letter (1 = T, 2 = R, 3 = B, 4 = I). I was able to easily create the new column and cast the data type from integer to varchar:
--CREATE NEW COLUMN €œDocType€? WITH VARCHAR DATATYPE
ALTER TABLE FullDocuments ADD DocType VARCHAR(1) NULL
Go
--UPDATE NEW COLUMN WITH CAST STRING
UPDATE FullDocuments SET DocType = CAST(SectionTypeID AS VARCHAR(1))
Go
But I have problems with the REPLACE method for replacing the numbers with letters. First I tried this based on the examples in MSDN Library:
--REPLACE NUMBERS WITH LETTERS
UPDATE Fulldocuments REPLACE (DocType,"1","T")
Which produced an error message: €œIncorrect syntax near 'REPLACE'.€?
Thinking that the datatype may be the problem, I tried this to convert to DT_WSTR data type prior to replace:
UPDATE Fulldocuments REPLACE ((DT_WSTR,1)DocType,"1","T")
Which produced the same error message: €œIncorrect syntax near 'REPLACE'.€?
I have never done a REPLACE before, so any suggestions for accomplishing this would be appreciated.

Hi All,
Just want to know if a column with IDENTITY can be altered. If yes, how?
I have a table with colum defined like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test] (
[TestID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
.......
Through ALTER TABLE script (I don't want to do it through Enterprise Manager) I want it to be like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test] (
[TestID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL ,
.......
I want the constrain "NOT FOR REPLICATION" done through ALTER TABLE script. Is that possible?
Please let me know with the syntax.
Thanks

@initial = CASE WHEN type = 1 THEN SUM(amount) END,
@incomings = CASE WHEN type = 2 THEN SUM(amount) END,

FROM Transactions
WHERE date = '05/14/2006' AND STATION = 'apuyinc'

The incoming transactions is type 2,
outgoing transactions is type 3

I currently have a LoginStatus and LoginName control on my asp.net 2.0 master page. When successfully logged in a message displays "You are logged in as" LoginName. Since I am using the user's e-mail address as the UserName the message will display as "You are logged in as johndoe@foo.com".
What I want to do is have the message display as "You are logged in as " FirstName LastName. FirstName and LastName are two new fields that I added to the table, aspnet_Users.
What I have done is to use the FormView control to display FirstName and LastName; however this always displays the first record in the aspnetdb database.
Is there a cleaner way (than the FormView control) to display the requested data, using the currently logged in user? I have access to Microsoft Expression Web and Visual Studio 2005, but I prefer Expression Web.
Thank you in advance

In SQL7, if you add a column to a table, is it necessary to recompile all
stored procs that reference that table?
Under 6.5, this caused problems at our site unless the Procs were 'refreshed'.
Is this only necessary where select * is used?

I have a large text colum I am trying to insert into a DB
This colum is about 800 chars longs

But it is still chopping the text at the 256 char mark on insert.
Anyone have any ideas ?? This is SQL 2000.
