Replacement For My LIKE Clause
Dec 27, 2006
Dear all,
I need some help from all my Transact SQL Guru friends out there..
Here is the scenario in its most simplified form.. ..
I have two tables.. A(Lookup table) and B(Transaction Table)
TableA Fields
EmployeeLocationID
EmployeeLocation (This could have values say
"B","BO","BOM","C","CA","CALC") etc...
TableB Fields
EmployeeID
EmployeeName.......
EmployeeLocationID (will have null initially when rows are populated
first time)
EmployeeLocation (This could have values
"BA123","BOMBAY","BOTS123","BRACK".... etc)
I hope you get where I am leading this to, from my examples..
Requirement is to populate the EmployeeLocationID in Table B with
EmployeeLocationID from TableA by matching the field EmployeeLocation
in both tables.Please note that table B's EmployeeLocation could be A's
EmployeeLocation + some additionalcodes like "123","RACK" etc in the
above example...
Therefore, this is what I had wrote initially..
update B
set B.EmployeeLocationID =A.EmployeeLocationID

I've got a SQL Server hardware Replacement to do. This server has a merge replication setup on it which was setup by a contractor.
Do i have to do the configurations manually when moving the replication bits across two servers or is there a different process involved ? I am just not sure how to approach this.

Hello all,
I get some dates entered manually in french format in a varchar(255) field and want to convert that field in datetime. Since, Enterprise manager is warning me about a risk to loose information, I'm thinking about a way to update the french text in the corresponding english text before doing the conversion.
Example:
25-fév-08 (varchar(255)) has to become 25-feb-08 (datetime)
Could anybody help me, please?

Hello All!
I have a job that we wrote in SQL 2000 that loops through and finds all the orders pending verification and distributes them via emal to 100+ sales people every night. Each email is sent to the individual sales rep. I did this using sp_makewebtask and attaching the html file to an email and using a WHILE statement to loop thorugh all pending entries in sql.
I recently learned that sp_makewebtask is not going to be around for the next release and that I should use RSS for all future development.
Question: How can I achieve the same result outlined above using RS? How can I dynamically create and distribute HTML files?
I know that RS is xml based, but some pointer on how/where to start would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks....

In the BOL, it states to replace DB_ID() with a valid database name when the compatibility level is 80 or below.
The original statement is:
SELECT
object_id AS objectid,
index_id AS indexid,
partition_number AS partitionnum,
avg_fragmentation_in_percent AS frag
INTO #work_to_do
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(), NULL, NULL , NULL, 'LIMITED')
WHERE avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 10.0 AND index_id > 0;
I replaced DB_ID() as follows but none worked:
DB_ID(N'pubs')
pubs
What should the syntax look like?

Been meaning to post this for a while. It does a very limited job of only allowing [0-9], but could be extended to allow negative numbers, or numeric values that are suitable for numeric types other than INT, but avoiding the pitfalls of IsNumeric() which might allow through data not suitable for some of the numeric datatypes
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE id = object_id(N'[dbo].[kk_fn_UTIL_IsINT]') AND xtype IN (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF'))
DROP FUNCTION dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_IsINT

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.kk_fn_UTIL_IsINT
(

RETURNS int-- NULL = Bad INT encountered, else cleanedup INT returned
/* WITH ENCRYPTION */
AS
/*

BEGIN
DECLARE@intValueint
SELECT@strINT = LTRIM(RTRIM(@strINT)),
@intValue = CASE WHEN @strINT NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%'
THEN CONVERT(int, @strINT)
ELSE NULL
END
RETURN @intValue

Table A
200 Rows, each row: X, has a unique value. Has 2 extra columns: C1 and D1.
Table B
4000 Rows, each row: Z, has a value that corresponds to Table A's unique values. Has 2 extra columns: C2 and D2.
What I am looking to do is update all 4000 rows in Table B to match the data set in Table A. C1 -> C2, D1 -> D2 following the criteria that X = Z.
All the update attempts I've made so far only update 200 rows within Table B.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
We had to migrate from MS Access 2003 to SQL Server 2005 due to some project requirements.
We had used Forms, earlier, to enter data to the Access database.
I understand SS2005 doesnt support forms.
Can you suggest any other way of creating an equivalent entity as that of forms, so as to enable users to enter data to the SS 2005 DB easily.
Thanks in Advance for your help,
Regards,
Sundar

With this discussion here http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=70328
I started to thinkn about Microsoft really calculated checksum value.
This code is 100% compatible with MS original. That is, the result is identical.
You can use it "as is", or you can use it to see that MS function does not produce that unique values one could expect.
With text/varchar/image data, call with SELECT BINARY_CHECKSUM('abcdefghijklmnop'), dbo.fnPesoBinaryChecksum('abcdefghijklmnop')
With integer data, call with SELECT BINARY_CHECKSUM(123), dbo.fnPesoBinaryChecksum(CAST(123 AS VARBINARY))
I haven't figured out how to calculate checksum for integers greater than 255 yet.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnPesoBinaryChecksum
(
@Data IMAGE
)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Index INT,
@MaxIndex INT,
@SUM BIGINT,
@Overflow TINYINT
SELECT@Index = 1,
@MaxIndex = DATALENGTH(@Data),
@SUM = 0
WHILE @Index <= @MaxIndex
SELECT@SUM = (16 * @SUM) ^ SUBSTRING(@Data, @Index, 1),
@Overflow = @SUM / 4294967296,
@SUM = @SUM - @Overflow * 4294967296,
@SUM = @SUM ^ @Overflow,
@Index = @Index + 1
IF @SUM > 2147483647
SELECT @SUM = @SUM - 4294967296
RETURN @SUM
ENDActually this is an improvement of MS function, since it accepts TEXT and IMAGE data.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnPesoTextChecksum
(
@Data TEXT
)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Index INT,
@MaxIndex INT,
@SUM BIGINT,
@Overflow TINYINT
SELECT@Index = 1,
@MaxIndex = DATALENGTH(@Data),
@SUM = 0
WHILE @Index <= @MaxIndex
SELECT@SUM = (16 * @SUM) ^ ASCII(SUBSTRING(@Data, @Index, 1)),
@Overflow = @SUM / 4294967296,
@SUM = @SUM - @Overflow * 4294967296,
@SUM = @SUM ^ @Overflow,
@Index = @Index + 1
IF @SUM > 2147483647
SELECT @SUM = @SUM - 4294967296
RETURN @SUM
END

Hello everyone,
i'm using an excel source where i get my excel rows using a query, I'd like to replace possible null values with some other data(a zero value or a empty string for example), that's because i'm performing a transformation into a sql server table wich doesn't accept null values for some columns.
Is there any function to convert a null value to another one? I used the sql server's CASE function, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
thanks a lot.

I have a table with the following data;
CREATE TABLE #Tab (Data Varchar(100))
INSERT INTO #Tab (Data)
Select 'Apple=5,Orange=10,Banana=11' UNION ALL
Select 'Apple=10,Orange=1033,Banana=0' UNION ALL
Select 'Apple = 120,Orange = 1,Banana = 112'
Select * from #Tab
How do I replace every value before the '=' but leave the comma.
Here is what the final output should look like
CREATE TABLE #TabFinal (Data Varchar(100))
INSERT INTO #TabFinal (Data)
Select 'Apple,Orange,Banana' UNION ALL
Select 'Apple,Orange,Banana' UNION ALL
Select 'Apple,Orange,Banana'
Select * from #TabFinal

Hello,
We recently upgraded from MS SQL 2000 to MS SQL 2005 and unfortunetly Speed Ferret (current version) is not compatible with 2005.
I wrote Black Moshannon Systems and it looks like we are months away from a release that will work with MS SQL 2005.
Does anyone know of a good search utility that works with MS SQL 2005?

Subject says it all, really. I want to start using Token Replacement,but do I break anything by enabling it? Do jobs that don't use tokensrequire any changes? I saw somewhere that it can't be turned off, soI'm paranoid about enabling it. Anything that I should be aware of?Many thanks.

Any advice that can be offered on this subject would be much appreciated.
We are debating whether to backup/restore the replicated databases or simply copy the mdf and ldf files accross and Attach them. The question is whether the replication information is retained for the publshed objects when the files are copied across? Alernatively, must we use backup/restore with KEEP_REPLICATION set for the restore?
We also plan to back up and restore the distribution, publication, master, msdb etc databases as well as rename the SQL Server to have the same name as the original.
Do these things need to happen in any particular order?
Does the timing of the renaming of the SQL Server matter?
At least some of the these operations (restoring the master database and renaming the SQL Server) need to be done in single user mode. Is is best to restore all the system databases in single user mode?
Lastly, is it necsssary (from a SQL Server point of viewpoint) to rename the computer to have the same name as the SQL Server?
Thanks,
Dick Campbell

I have a small client installable web application which used to work great on 32 bit machines. Well now clients are starting to use x64 Windows 2003 servers and things have begun to unravel. W2K3 x64 does not have any of the JET database drivers needed to communicate to the Access databases and it doesn't look like they're coming anytime soon.
Is SQL Server Express the new replacement for Access databases on x64 machines. Does Microsoft intend on moving some of the JET drivers over from 32 bit servers. I know that you can run IIS in 32 bit mode and everything is fine, but I can't ask everyone to do that.
Is SQL Server Express something that I can expect people to have installed, it sure doesn't sounds like it. After reading some posts, it sounds like it's a bit of a hastle to install.
Thanks in advance for your time.

I am trying to get details out of targetinstance from a WMI alert, using Token Replacement in the job step.
The alert fires properly.
The WQL query for the alert is:
select * from __InstanceModificationEvent within 300 where targetinstance ISA 'Win32_LogicalDisk' and TargetInstance.DriveType = 3 and TargetInstance.Freespace < 44832876928
However, I can't get the WMI info out from the alert - everything I've read says it's within TargetInstance, but I don't see how to use the WMI call for it. I'm specifically looking for DeviceID In the job step, I've tried multiple variations. Only the __CLASS has worked, and that's because it's not within TargetInstance.Â
set @mybody = '$(ESCAPE_SQUOTE(WMI(DeviceID)))'
set @mybody = '$(ESCAPE_SQUOTE(WMI(TargetInstanceDeviceID)))'
set @mybody = '$(ESCAPE_SQUOTE(WMI(__CLASS)))'
set @mybody = '$(ESCAPE_SQUOTE(WMI(TargetInstance.DeviceID)))'

I have a quite big SQL query which would be nice to be used using UNION betweern two Select and Where clauses. I noticed that if both Select clauses have Where part between UNION other is ignored. How can I prevent this?
I found a article in StackOverflow saying that if UNION has e.g. two Selects with Where conditions other one will not work. [URL] ....
I have installed SQL Server 2014 and I tried to use tricks mentioned in StackOverflow's article but couldn't succeeded.
Any example how to write two Selects with own Where clauses and those Selects are joined with UNION?

I'm looking to replace text in a given column given a set of conditions in the other columns. Please see below the M query in the advance editor and in particular the bold text. Here I've created a new entry that would appear in the query applied steps window in the power query editor that I have called "Replace Values". The logic is if Data.Column4 column equals "London" then replace null values in Data.Column5 with London. However when I save the query below I get the errorÂ
Expression.Error: There is an unknown identifier. Did you use the [field] shorthand for a _[field] outside of an 'each' expression?
I plan to change the expression to test for multiple conditions however I need to get the basic expression working first. The other frustration i had with the "if" statement is it had to have an else even though I didn't require it, am i doing something wrong here?
let
FullFilePath = "C:PermanentDwellings.xlsx",
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(FullFilePath)),
  #"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Data", {"Column1", "Column10", "Column11", "Column12", "Column13", "Column14", "Column15", "Column16",

I am working with a vendor on upgrading their application from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and am running into the following.
When on SQL Server 2000 the following statement ran without issue:
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN
(
SELECT TrackID
FROM dbo.Track_ID
GROUP BY TrackID
HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1 AND
TrackID + 'x1' IN
(
SELECT
dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))
FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
)
Once moved to SQL Server 2005 the statement would not return and showed SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD to be the waittype when executed. This machine is SP1 and needs to be upgraded to SP2, something that is not going to happen near time.
I changed the SQL to the following, SQL Server now runs it in under a second, but now the app is not functioning correctly. Are the above and the following semantically the same?
UPDATE dbo.Track_ID
SET dbo.Track_ID.Processed = 4 --Regular 1 leg call thats been completed
WHERE Processed = 0 AND LegNum = 1
AND TrackID IN
(
SELECT TrackID
FROM dbo.Track_ID
WHERE TrackID + 'x1' IN
(
SELECT dbo.Track_ID.TrackID + 'x' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), COUNT(dbo.Track_ID.TrackID))
FROM dbo.Track_ID INNER JOIN dbo.transactions
ON dbo.Track_ID.SM_ID = dbo.transactions.sm_session_id
GROUP BY dbo.Track_ID.TrackID
)
GROUP BY TrackID
HAVING MAX(LegNum) = 1
)

2 examples:
1) Rows ordered using textual id rather than numeric id
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
order by
v.id
Result set is ordered as: 1, 11, 2
I expect: 1,2,11
if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
2) SQL server reject query below with next message
Server: Msg 169, Level 15, State 3, Line 16
A column has been specified more than once in the order by list. Columns in the order by list must be unique.
Code Snippet
select
cast(v.id as nvarchar(2)) id
from
(
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) v
cross join (
select 1 id
union select 2 id
union select 11 id
) u
order by
v.id
,u.id
Again, if renamed or removed alias for "cast(v.id as nvarchar(2))" expression then all works fine.
It reproducible on
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86) May 3 2005 23:18:38 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
and
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (Intel X86) Feb 9 2007 22:47:07 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
In both cases database collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS
If I check quieries above on database with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation then it works fine again.
Could someone clarify - is it bug or expected behaviour?
