Replacing Columnn Name Programmatically

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,

The following script does not return any resultset against a test db
while I know for a fact tables with letter "aaa" has columns that
contains "ccc".
What's wrong? the the inner cursor?

Thanks.


-- get all tbls with letter aaa
declare @tbl varchar(8000)
declare tblCursor cursor for
SELECT name
FROM sysobjects
WHERE xtype = 'U'
AND name LIKE '%aaa%'

open tblCursor
fetch next from tblCursor
into @tbl

while (@@fetch_status = 0)
begin

-- get all columns with letter ccc and replace it with nothing /
remove it
declare @tbuffer varchar(4000)
declare @cbuffer varchar(8000)

declare abnormal_cols cursor for
SELECT o.name, c.name
FROM sysobjects o
JOIN syscolumns c ON o.id = c.id
WHERE o.xtype = 'U'
AND c.name LIKE '%ccc%'
and o.id = object_id('+@tbl')
-- ORDER BY c.name

open abnormal_cols
fetch next from abnormal_cols
into @tbuffer,@cbuffer

while (@@fetch_status = 0)
begin
-- EXEC sp_rename '+@tbuffer+'.['+@cbuffer+']','+Replace(+@cbuffer+','%ccc%','')',
'COLUMN';
-- test
print @tbuffer + ', ' + @cbuffer;
fetch next from abnormal_cols
into @tbuffer,@cbuffer

Replacing Values

Nov 18, 2005

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

Total Replacing

Jul 20, 2005

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

Replacing Views In SQL CE

Jan 15, 2008

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?

Replacing Text

Jan 21, 2008

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.

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

Help Replacing 'where Not Exists' In A Query

Jul 20, 2007

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!

Sql Query Replacing Values

Apr 1, 2004

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?

Replacing First Letter Only In Column

May 17, 2006

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'm the assistant to the assistants assistant and have no SQL base at all but have to change dates in our SQL database. I've got the script for how to do an update/replace for non date fields and have been successful at that. Unfortunately when I try to use the script to change date fields it does not work. It goes through the process and acts like it is working (even asks me if I want to update the records) but when I look in the database the dates have not changed. Below is the script that I am using, any help you can give me will help me keep my job (and pay for the beer I'm sure to need after work today) Thanks in advance for your help.

Replacing Field Values

I am trying to replace field values in SSIS. For exapmle, I have 'unkown' and 'N/A', and a few other values that mean the same thing, and I want to give all these fields the same value. I have not been able to find a tool in the toolbox to make this type of change. Is there one? And, if there is, do you know a link to a page explaining its use?

The closest I have come is the Derived column String Transformation:Replace. But, I have not been able to get this to do what I want. If you know of a good reference explaining this tool's use I'd appreciate it.

Replacing FTP With Service Broker

Aug 5, 2007

Hi there

Could you use service broker to replace FTP? We currently move hundreds of files around from source systems to destination systems. Some systems share the same files, some only recieve a subset of the data in the files.
This typically takes place early morning the next day.

Would it be possible, and I guess more importantly, has anyone done this;
Use service broker on all the source systems,sending to a central routing server that determines which destination servers require which piece of data and then forward it onto those servers. It would need to handle very high volumes of data.
The central server would also be required to transform some of the data as it passes through.

This would completely change the way in which we would exchange data around our network, allowing us to process more realtime than 1 day late.

Is there anyone who has done this, are their any case studies on this?

Thank you in advance.
Mark S
