Replacing Column Value
Dec 3, 2007
Hi Guys,
I am faced with a problem that is giving me headaches. I have t1, t2 and t3. I t1 I have students that have a reference to t2 which are the schools they belong to. The problem arises when I see that there is redundancy in t2. There more records for the same schools. This was posible in giving the same school (postcode and name make it the same school) a different ID. In t3 I removed these redundant schools by using fuzzy grouping.
My problem is I want to ensure that the students are put using the schools from t3 instead of t2. So what I need to do is is to replace the redundant id from t2 with the correct id from t3.
Please help. Thans in advance

I have a SQL table with 5000 rows in it. Some of the other SQL columns have different values but if I wanted to swap say 500 of the rows would it be something like
UPDATE Coupins
SET Name='test1,test2,test3'
WHERE Name='test4,test5,test6';
I need basically to swap the Name value of these without affecting any other values.

Hello. We have a list of 1000+ sku numbers. 90% of them start with u. I need to replace the u with T.
Concerns:
It has to only replace the first letter, if there are other "u"s in the sku, they need to remain.
Not all skus start with u, those that don't should remain the same.
I have searched and searched because I'm sure someone has requested the exact same thing but I can't find anything that is identical.
I have this so far but I know its not correct:
set sku = replace(left(sku,1),'u',right(rtrim(sku),1)+
'T')
Can someone help lead me down the right path?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.

hi.
I have to update a column with new data. I have to replace the values that lay with a certain range. for example
my table has a column called ENI_KEYVALUE1, I have to update the data in this column only where the ENI_KEYVALUE1 is between P6_00001 and P6_00240. The values have to be replaced with values listed sequencially in an excel spreadsheet.
how do I do this???
thanks in advance

Hi there,
I have a derived column shape in which I replace a column with an expression.
The expression is an IF statement - a true result sets a value for the column and a false result just uses the existing value of the column (ie it replaces it with itself)
Like this.
ColumnName DerivedColumn Expression
ColumnA Replace 'ColumnA' ColumnB != ColumnC ? "y" : ColumnA
But whenever, the condition is NOT met, ColumnA is set to NULL!!!!
Does this mean that the column value is deleted before the Expression is applied?
If this is how it is meant to work, then does anyone have a way of doing what I want to do without creating extra columns in the dataset??
Cheers.

Hi,
this is my second attempt to get an answer to this question.
We want to strip our firstName column and lastname column of any punctuation that might be present.
What's the best of doing that?
Is my only choice to write a nested REPLACE for each character we want replaced (which will end up being very very long) or is there another way.
thanks

I have a column like this:
Table: User
name, field1
Jack 1000|1001|1003
Berg 2000|1001|2004
Paul 1001|1000
Jane 1001
Now, I would like to replace all "1001" with nothing, and also remove the "|"-separator behind 1001 if it exists, basically removing both "1001" and "1001|", so the resulting table looks like this:
name, field1
Jack 1000|1003
Berg 2000|2004
Paul 1000
Jane
My tries, been plenty, but here are some:
Code:
UPDATE UserTable
SET field1 = REPLACE(field1, '1001', '')
UPDATE UserTable
SET field1 = REPLACE(field1, '1001|', '')
But the above queries replaces field1 only if the whole field matches '1001' or '1001|'...
The above queries do work, just like I want them to. I just happened to write them in this order on this post... did not do a copy of the actual query.

I have a field in a table that contains a different formula (varchar(1000)) for each record. It's along the lines of something like this, although each formula is different: ([ColumnA] - [ColumnB])/([ColumnC] - [ColumnD]). I plug that into a dynamic SQL statement so that it can get executed in a select statement.
Due to the variations of the formulas, checking for Divide by Zero, etc, we want to move this to a .NET method. We'd like to replace "ColumnA" and "ColumnB", etc., with the actual values so that we're passing something like (5-3)/(6-2). I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this without actually executing it. We don't want to pass the solution, but the equation filled with the actual values rather than the column names.

I need to replace a portion of a url in a column as a result ofchanging servers. Is there a SELECT/REPLACE/UPDATE combination querythat can do this. The table has close to a thousand entries and wouldbe nice if a query can be set to do this. Tried the REPLACE examplein the BOOKS ONLINE but it creates syntax error, apparently because itdoes not like the characters in the url and/or wildcards. I don't needto replace the entire url, only the portion before ".com". Thanks inanticipation of your help.Pradip Sagdeo

Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!

Hi i have 2 cols
col1 col2
A1 21
A2 22
A3 21
A4 23
I want to create a report such that i should see all values of col1 but in col2 i want to show only value of 21 and the remaining should be zero.
So basically all the other values except 21 should be zero in the report but should not be updated in the database.
So the report should look like
col1 col2
A1 21
A2 0
A3 21
A4 0
can you please tell me how to do that
Thanks

Hi,Is it possible to do from one script? We have a set of user's tables like"tbl%". We can get this list very easy using this script:SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'U' AND name LIKE 'tbl%' ORDER BYname;We need to change some column names if these names are in a special listthat we have. What can we do? Use FOR EACH ROW? Or what?So, I need to get a column list for each table and check if every columnname is equal to one of the names from the list and then if YES replace itby something or add some symbol to this name. Terrible or possible?Regards,Dmitri

Hi all,
We are trying to migrate a SQL Server 2005 database/schema onto SQL CE. The original SQL Server 2005 schema uses views. And VIEWs are not supported on SQL CE. What can we use as an alternative?
Here are the option I can think of:
Use Tables instead of views : We are currently using this approach. But the disadvantage is that data remains on the DB. We need to clean and reuse the table everytimeCan we use a DataSet or DataTable instead? Any sample code available?
Can we replace them by some in-memory data structure?

Hi,
I would like to replace all instances of a code that starts with 'GEM' with the word 'Perfect'', and all instances of the code that starts with 'GOLD' replaced with 'Imperfect'.
For example, if I have a table named STONES, and a field within the table STONES.Code contained codes such as 'GEMPART4000', 'GEMPART5000', 'GOLDSIDE2300' and 'GOLDSIDE3000', I want to return the first two codes as the words 'Perfect' for each and the last two codes with the word 'Imperfect' for each.
Similarly, how would it be written so I could select a middle part of the code to use as the trigger to replace the code with something different, e.g. if I wanted to use the 'PART' from the first two codes?
I have discovered that the REPLACE and CASE functions don't work with % (so I am looking for any code that starts with what I stipulate but can end with anything (or using it on either side of the middle part of the code)).
Any help would really be appreciated please.

I am trying to clean up an ugly query that's based on trying to find items that exist in one table but not the other.
My tables are like this:
ITEMSitemID,itemName,itemDescriptionetc...
ORDERITEMSOrderLineID,OrderID,itemID
ORDERSOrderID,OrderCompleted
Currently my query looks something like this:
Select Items.* from ITEMS where not exists (select 1 from ORDERITEMS inner join ORDERS on ORDERITEMS.OrderID = ORDERS.OrderID where ORDERITEMS.itemID=ITEMS.itemID and (ORDERS.OrderCompleted=1))
So this query is looking for ITEMS what don't have a corresponding entry in the ORDERITEMS table. As I understand it this is pretty inefficient as it is going to be executing the sub query in the Not Exists statement for each entry in the ITEMS table. Is the preferred method to do something along the lines of somehow making the sub query into a derived table and doing a left or right join?
Thanks for reading!

Hi, I have the following query.
sql = "select firstname AS Expr1, lastname AS Expr2, status AS Expr3 from person order by lastname"
Status is either 0,1,2 or 3
How can I use the query to create "a temp Alias" for the query, so that there is a "temp Alias" AS Expr4, AS Expr5, AS Expr6 and AS Expr7.
So if status = 0 then Expr4 = "true" else false
So if status = 1 then Expr5 = "true" else false
So if status = 2 then Expr6 = "true" else false
So if status = 3 then Expr7 = "true" else false
So when the reader reads Expr4 its either true or false.
Is this possible i a query?
