Return Only Numeric Characters From A String Column
Dec 4, 2007I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
But I have discovered that the following
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('£')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
Thanks for looking at this.

Return Subquery Rows As One Delimited Column
Oct 26, 2006I don't know if this is possible, but I haven't been able to find anyinformation.I have two tables, for example:Table 1 (two columns, id and foo)id foo--- -----1 foo_a2 foo_b3 foo_cTable 2 (two columns, t1_id, and bar)t1_id bar------ ----1 bar_a1 bar_b1 bar_c2 bar_d3 bar_e3 bar_fWhat I'm shooting for is returning the result of a subquery as atext-delimited column. In this example, using a comma as thedelimiter:Recordset Returned:foo bars----- -----foo_a bar_a,bar_b,bar_cfoo_b bar_dfoo_c bar_e,bar_fI know that it's usually pretty trivial within the code that isquerying the database, but I'm wondering if the database itself can dothis.Is this possible, and if so, can someone please point me to how it canbe done?

Sep 3, 2015I have several databases to deal with, all with + 250 tables. The databases are not identical and do not conform to a specific naming convention for table names. Most but not all tables have a column called "LastUpdated" containing a date/time (obviously). I'd like to be able to find all rows within a whole database (table by table) where the date/time is greater than a specified date/time.
I'm looking for a reliable query that will return all the rows in each of the tables but without me having to write hundreds of individual scripts "SELECT * FROM [dbo.xyz] WHERE LastUpdated > '2015-01-01 09:00:00:000'", or have to look through each table first to determine which of them has the LastUpdated field.

May 21, 2001I'm looking for a way to search for return characters (CHAR (13) or CHAR(10)) in VARCHAR fields. More specifically, either a way to remove them from the result set or replace them throughout the database.
Bonus Question:
Why can't users take a minute and fix their cut and paste into the address 1 field so that address 2 is in the right field (instead of on address 1 with returns in the middle of the data)?! Sheesh!

Rows Skipped Out In Stored Procedure While Return All Rows If Query Executed Seprate

But if I run seperately the querys written in SP then it returns all the rows. Please give me solution why it is happening like this.
There are indexes in the tables.
Once I shrink the database and rebuild the indexes, from then this problem is happening. I have rebuild the indexes several time, also updated the statistics but nothing improving.

Return More Than 4000 Characters From CLR Stored Procedure
Mar 31, 2006Hi,
I have a clr stored procedure that takes in 2 parameters, input xml and a query name. The stored procedure transforms the xml with a the xslt for the given query name (stored in a database). I am currently using and output parameter that is of type NVarChar(4000) to retrieve the xml in .net.
This all works fine unless the xml that is being transformed is greater than 4000 characters which will happen. Are there any ways of returning a string/xml greater than 4000 characters (in the region of 60-70k characters).
Thanks for your help

Choosing Between Two Column Values To Return As Single Column Value

Depending on who initiates the friendship, a users' guid value can be in either of the two columns. Here is the crazy sql I have come up with to give what I want, but I'm sure there's a better way... Any ideas?SELECT DISTINCT UserIdFROM espace_ProfilePropertyWHERE (UserId IN

How To Return A Specified # Of Rows
Oct 29, 1999Trying to do a paging scheme without using #Temp tables in MS SQL 7.0
Client calls a sp passing 1 and sql returns the first 100 records.
Client sends a sp passing 100 and gets the next 100 records.
Process continues till @@fetch_status <> 0 or the client can stop sending requests.
I implemented it easily using fetch absolute into a #temp table but this has dissaster potential in a multiuser environment since everyone will be using this query continously and there is no user limit.
What other options do I have?
Thanks,

Truncate Characters In A Column
Jan 26, 2006I recieve data where I am comparing zip codes from raw data, to a zip code table. The columns I am matching are in integers.
The issue is that in the raw data, sometimes the zip code is extended to more than the 5 characters in the zip code table so I am getting null value returns
A sample of this is in the raw data is:
Zipcode
54303
54304786
78641
Is there a way I can have it compare only the first 5 digits of the zip codes in the raw data zip code column to the zip code table? Or would I have to convert the data type? Or alter or truncate the characters somehow? If so, please include how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How Many Rows Will A Query Return?
Apr 8, 2006Does sql server have a mechanism (aside from count()) that for any given SELECT query will tell you only how many rows it will return without actually returning the data?
The reason for this is that we have a generic lookup form in an application that is used on almost every screen (we have a lot of screens, so it gets a lot of different, sometimes complicted, queries passed to it to use for the lookup, and having to manually edit the query to use count over all the select clauses doesn't seem like the best way to handle this. If we could do a kind of 'trial run' against the server just to get the number of rows and use that to help set up the form, that would be ideal.
