 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: ' ?Would the only solution be to put: ryan''s field into the Database, and just format it properly on the output?

 
Thanks.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace Multiple Occurrences Of Same Character With Single Character

Aug 6, 2015

I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :

And I need the output in the following form:

ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it

The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace A Special Character In Results?

Jun 11, 2014

I have an database that is housing a path used to locate an external file. This application was written many years ago and I am now trying to bring the files into the database as a VARBINARY.

The table is holding the path like this "/folder/folder/file"

I am trying to convert that path to "folderfolderfile"

In my Select statement I have

SELECT ProdID, REPLACE (PATH, /, ) FROM dbo.blahblah

The problem is that I can't figure out to make SQL understand that "/" is the character I want to replace.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace Multiple Characters With Single Character In A Column?

Jun 21, 2012

I am trying to replace all special characters in a column with one special character.

Example:

Table: dbo.Employee
Column: Name
Name
-------
edwardneuman!"<]
mikemoreno)'>$:
JeffJensen"?>"

I am trying to get the namepart to the left of ANY special character. To achieve this, I am thinking of replacing all the special characters with a single special character so that I can find the first occurrence of that special character and grab left of the special character (SUBSTRING/CHARINDEX). This way I don't need to loop through all the special characters.

I am expecting the following results:

Name
-------
edwardneuman<<<<
mikemoreno<<<<<
JeffJensen<<<<

Read Chinese Character From SQL(SQL Server 2005) Database Table Column And Display Chinese Character

Feb 1, 2008

Hi!

I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks

int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}

message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());

Using 'IN' To Replace 'EXCEPT'

May 28, 2008

Hi everyone,

I have wriiten a query that works great in sql server but MS Access does not support EXCEPT. I have to rewrite this query using 'IN' or 'NOT IN' but can not figure it out because it must be compared on all fields. I'm sure this will require multiple subqueries because 'IN' must return only one field but I can not rap my brain around it. Could someone please help with this? Here is the 'EXCEPT' query I know works.


Code Snippet
SELECT DISTINCT sh.Member_Nbr, sh.Account_Nbr, st.Share_Desc,
sh.Balance, sh.Available_Bal FROM
(((SHARE sh INNER JOIN AccountIndividual ac ON ac.Member_Nbr =
sh.Member_Nbr AND ac.Account_Nbr = sh.Account_Nbr)
INNER JOIN SHARETYPE st ON sh.Share_Type = st.Share_Type_ID) INNER JOIN
Participation_Type ON ac.Participation_Id = Participation_Type.ID)
WHERE ac.INDIVIDUAL_ID = 5249
Except
SELECT DISTINCT sh.Member_Nbr, sh.Account_Nbr, st.Share_Desc,
sh.Balance, sh.Available_Bal FROM
(((SHARE sh INNER JOIN AccountIndividual ac ON ac.Member_Nbr =
sh.Member_Nbr AND ac.Account_Nbr = sh.Account_Nbr)
INNER JOIN SHARETYPE st ON sh.Share_Type = st.Share_Type_ID) INNER JOIN
Participation_Type ON ac.Participation_Id = Participation_Type.ID)
WHERE ((ac.participation_id <> 101) AND (sh.share_type > 49 )) AND (ac.Individual_Id = 5249); This code gets me close using 'IN'.

Find And Replace

Sep 13, 2006

To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.

Find And Replace.

Apr 30, 2004

Does anybody know how to search through all stored procedures (in SQL Server 2000) and find and replace text without having to open each one individually in Query Analyzer and doing so one at a time?

That would be so time consuming. I want to be able to change my table names, but I have so many stored procedures allready using the old names. To go and find each name and replacing them is a task I don't want to even try and do.

Thank you to whomever can help.

Using Replace Function

Aug 10, 2004

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()
...
