Hi, and tanks for taking time to read this question. I am still a novice at SQL (Server 2000)programming.
Is there a way to replace the contents of a column of a table derivied from SELECT and WHERE statements?
For example,
SELECT * FROM table1
WHERE column1 = 'text'
and replace 'text' with say, 'newtext'
Any help would be appreciated!

i have following problem: i need to import csv data into a ole db destination. on colum in the csv file is a 'external' customer number but in the destination table there must be an 'internal' customer number. of course there's a table where the mappings between external and internal customer number are defined, but this tables is located on another server. So i have no idea how to solve this problem ... maybe because i'm pretty new to ssis
thanks a lot
In the following simple select statement:
SELECT Selskabsnummer, Plademærkenummer, [Fra dato], isnull([Til dato], getdate()) as [Til dato], Bemærkning
FROM Gramex_DW.dbo.Plademærkelinie WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE convert(int, Plademærkenummer) = 1
ORDER BY isnull([Til dato], getdate()) ASC
I'm looking for a way to replace the [Fra dato] field with '1900-01-01' if the date earlier than this date. E.g. instances of 1800-01-01 exist.
I'm not looking for an update to the table, but merely a way to manipulate the output, as the front-end I'm developing can't handle pre 1900-01-01 date formats, and I would prefer formatting the data before it reaches he front-end as it would be easier to handle.

first of all... hello, forum! im a total newbie
ive been working on this script today and cannot for the life of me get the following employee name format correct...
the data is currently "lastname~firstname" in employee table... i am trying to write a select statement that will take that and remove the "~" (tilde) and replace it with a "," (comma).
how do i get "lastname~firstname" from employee table to display in "lastname,firstname" format?
Hi All,I'm confused by how to replace a SELECT statement in a SQL statementwith a specific value. The table I'm working on is a list of words (acolumn called "word") with an index int pointing to the sentence theycome from (a column called "regret"). I also have a table of stop words(called "GenericStopWords") that contains the words I do not want toconsider. That table has a single column called "word".I started off using a SQL function (called "GETALLWORDS") whichreturned the words of a string. This is how I used it:INSERT INTO WordsSELECT wrds.WORD, 1 FROMGETALLWORDS('I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a kingof infinite space', default) AS wrdsLEFT OUTER JOINGenericStopWordsON wrds.WORD = GenericStopWords.wordWHERE GenericStopWords.word IS NULLThis statement inserts every word in the sentence that is not a stopword. So, for example, ('bounded', 1) is added but ('could', 1) is notadded.I've now decided to move the function that breaks a string into wordsout of the SQL layer of my application and into the JavaScript whichruns under ASP on the web server. So now I want to call somethinganalogous to the above SQL statement, but word by word. What I'd likeis something like:INSERT INTO WordsSELECT 'bounded', 1 FROM ???LEFT OUTER JOINGenericStopWordsON 'bounded' = GenericStopWords.wordWHERE GenericStopWords.word IS NULLDoes that make sense? I want a SQL statement that will insert the tuple('bounded', 1) into the table Words if (and only if) 'bounded' does notappear in the table GenericStopWords. It's easy to say procedurally, Icannot see how to write it in a relational style in SQL.Thanks in advance for any help you can give.Cheers,Tim.

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
Has anyone ever seen this code (I put the script tags in brackets so it would not get embedded in forum page)?
[script src=http://www.qiqigm.com/m.js][/script]
We have a number of MSDE 2000 databases running on a Windows 2003 SBS. These databases feed information to their respective websites. One of our databases (and on this one only) something or someone is somehow overwriting the text and varchar fields in all of the tables in the database and replacing it with the above or similar javascript. I've been a database developer and administrator for a long time and I have not a clue how this is being accomplished. When this code replaces our data, what ends up happening is 1) the virus detectors start going off the chart if you go to the site and 2) the script somehow appears to attempt to mimic the site its taken over.
When I do a search on qiqigm to see if anybody has had this problem before, really the results you get are pages and pages of sites that appear to be infected directly with the same bogus javascript code...and not a word about what it is or where its coming from. In our case, and it appears many others by looking, replacing the product description or title description or ordering information in the database causes the script to be written to the browser where otherwise the product/order information would be. This causes the script to run when the page is loaded. Since it overwrites the data in all fields in all tables, it assures itself that it will get displayed no matter what a user attempts to do on the site.
On this database, the only user that has access to the database is the IUSR_<domainadmin> account.
I restored this particular database a couple of days ago to an uninfected backup. I had done this before, but the script would eventually manifest itself again at some point. This time I have removed the ability to get to the product pages for now until we figure out the problem. This appears to be keeping the beast at bay. So far (2+ days), the database has remained in tact.
Anybody got a clue as to what it is I'm up against?
TIA,

I work on a copy of SQL Server Express on my desktop. After modifying and creating views and user defined functions, I would like to copy and paste them into the working database. Is there a method programmatically of doing this or must I copy and paste the t-sql language from the existing view to the new database--then save the new view on the working database?

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.
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
HiI have a query that is performing very strangely.I f I put a top statement in it returns rows,soSelect top 10 * from .......returns 10 rowsbut without it then no data is returnedSelect * from ..........returns 0 rows.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, 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?
