SQL 2012 :: Script To Remove Any Foreign Characters From Table

Sep 14, 2015

I have a table that is riddled with weird characters. So far I have found an escape character for PDF files and a trademark sign. These characters are crashing my SSIS packages. I am able to remove these characters with an update script...

Update TABLE
set LEAD_NOTES__C = Replace(LEAD_NOTES__C, nchar(65533) COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN2, '!');

Update TABLE
set LEAD_NOTES__C = Replace(LEAD_NOTES__C, nchar(1671) COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN2, '!');

This works fine, but my question is...

I would like to write a script that removes all foreign characters with the exception of the normal characters like (@,#,$,%,etc). I need a dynamic process that handles this so I am not losing time sifting through over 20,000 rows of data and changing my update script to remove a specific column. Although this method works, I would prefer a dynamic query. I intend to wrap this in a stored procedure that loops through all columns in a table (as parameter).

SQL Server 2012 :: Function To Remove Excess Characters

Mar 5, 2014

I am looking for a function or way to return only results which does not include appended characters to order numbers.

For instance, below is a list of order numbers. I only want the order number that is SO-123456

OrderNumbers
SO-123456
SO-123456-01
SO-123456-2
SO-123457
SO-123457-1
SO-123457-02
SO-123458

I would like my query to only show the below results

SO-123456
SO-123457
SO-123458

What functions or query methods could achieve this?

I was hoping for something similar to RTRIM but that is only specific to white space.

SQL Server 2012 :: Select Case Statement To Remove Part Of String After One Or Two Specific Characters

Jun 3, 2015

I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'

Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN***
Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire

How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?

The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?

,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0
THEN LEN(Address )
ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'

,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0
THEN LEN(Address)

SQL 2012 :: Create Table With Both Keys As Foreign (error)

Dec 15, 2014

I'm trying to create a table in Microsoft Server Management Studio 2012. The table has two fields which are both foreign keys.

I created the following:

create table tblRoomEquipment(
RoomID nvarchar(8),
EquipmentType nvarchar(1),
foreign key (RoomID) references tblRoom(ID),
foreign key (EquipmentType) references tblEquipment(Type)
)

Both tblRoom and tblEquipment have the red line error which when I highlight say the they both reference an invalid table!

Both tables are there and have primary keys defined as ID & Type. I have searched around and all I could find was that there maybe a permission problem.

SQL Server 2012 :: Insert Foreign Key Value Into Primary Table?

Oct 2, 2015

In a special request run, I need to update locker and lock tables in a sql server 2012 database, I have the following 2 table definitiions:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Locker](
[lockerID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[schoolID] [int] NOT NULL,
[number] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
[lockID] [int] NULL
CONSTRAINT [PK_Locker] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED

[code]....

The locker table is the main table and the lock table is the secondary table. I need to add 500 new locker numbers that the user has given to me to place in the locker table and is uniquely defined by LockerID. I also need to add 500 new rows to the corresponding lock table that is uniquely defined in the lock table and identified by the lockid.

Since lockid is a key value in the lock table and is uniquely defined in the locker table, I would like to know how to update the lock table with the 500 new rows. I would then like to take value of lockid (from lock table for the 500 new rows that were created) and uniquely place those 500 lockids uniquely into the 500 rows that were created for the lock table.

I have sql that looks like the following so far:

declare @SchoolID int = 999
insert into test.dbo.Locker ( [schoolID], [number])
select distinct LKR.schoolID, A.lockerNumber
FROM [InputTable] A
JOIN test.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type and A.schoolnumber = @SchoolNumber
JOIN test.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID
AND A.lockerNumber not in (select number from test.dbo.Locker where schoolID = @SchoolID)
order by LKR.schoolID, A.lockerNumber

I am not certain how to complete the rest of the task of placing lockerid uniquely into lock and locker tables?

How To Remove {CR}{LF} And Tab {t} Characters From Source Data?

Nov 7, 2006

I have built a SSIS package that reads in data from a SQL Server 2005 source database into a flat file destination. The Row Delimiter is {CR}{LF}. The Column Delimiter is Tab {t}.

The data being read from the SQL Server database contains both {CR}{LF} and Tab {t} characters in various fields on several rows.

How can I process the input data from the SQL Server to remove these characters before passing it to the destination output file?

Sorry if this is obvious to all, but I am only just starting with SSIS...

Many thanks

Special/Foreign Language Characters Issue

Sep 19, 2006

Hi,
 
We have a package that does a simple table to table data loading. Both source and destination have the same Codepage (850) and collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AI). However, there are some foreign language characters in the source table, and it gets messed up when it's loaded into the target.
 
Here's an example for a column with this type of text:
 
Source: Soluþ§es Informßt
Target: Solu– ºes Inform–€t
 
Both columns are char(30).
 
I have tried to load this row into another server in a different location and it works just fine, however the original target of data displays the text incorrectly.
 
I have no idea what can be causing this.
 
Thanks,
Kervy

Ignore Latin And Other Foreign Characters In Text Search.

Hi, i have a query that goes like this


select *
from Users
where UserName Like =@Username;

the values for 'UserName' go like this

Adrián
Jesús
Fernández
Güero

all of them have spanish accents. is there a way to make the "like" value to ignore the spanish characters? (á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, etc)

That is because the user will not always write "Jesús" they will write "Jesus" or they will not write "Adrián" they will write "Adrian"

so is there any way to tell the SQL Server engine to ignore those characters?

thanks!!!

DB Design :: Remove Foreign Keys For Audit Columns?

Aug 25, 2015

We have a database with hundreds of tables, each with "CreatedByLoginId" and "ModifiedByLoginId" FK columns back to the Login table.  This is all fine and well, but 500+ tables all link back to Login table every time a record is inserted or updated.

For strictly performance reasons, what do you think of us REMOVING the FK constraints on all of our tables?  While this does mean that a GUID that is not a valid LoginId could potentially be put in a table, I'm not too worried about it because users don't have direct access to the database.

SQL Server 2008 :: Normalizing Data Prior To Migration (Update String To Remove Special Characters)

Aug 21, 2015

I'm presented with a problem where I have a database table which must be migrated via a "custom tool", moving the data into a new table which has special character requirements that didn't exist in the source database. My data resides in an SQL Server 2008R2 instance.

I envision a one-time query which will loop through selected records and replace the offending characters with --, however I'm having trouble understanding how this works.

There are roughly 2500 records which meet the criteria of "contains bad characters", frequently containing multiple separate bad chars, and the table contains roughly 100000 rows.

Special Characters are defined as #%&*:<>?/{}|~ and ..

While the field is called "Filename" it isn't always so, it is a parent/child table where foldernames are also stored.

Example data:
Tablename = Items
ItemID Filename ListID
1 Badfile<2015>.docx 15
2 Goodfile.docx 15
3 MoreBad#.docx 15
4 Dog&Cat#17.pdf 15
5 John's "Special" Folder 16

The examples I'm finding are all oriented around SELECT statements, to change the output of what I see returned, however I'd rather just fix the entire column using an UPDATE. Initial testing using REPLACE fails because I don't always have a single character as the bad thing in a string.

In a better solution, I found an example using a User Defined Function to modify the output of a select, but I cannot use that UDF in an UPDATE.

My alternative is to learn enough C# to modify the "migration tool" to do this in-transit, but I know even less about C# than I do of SQL.

I gather I want to use @@ROWCOUNT to loop through the rows but I really can't put it all together in a cohesive way.

SQL Server 2012 :: Returning Value For Foreign Key

Dec 5, 2013

I have a table tbl_rules. This table will define rules for each role. I have not yet defined the fields for the rules. But the table definition is as below:

Create table tbl_Rules
(
ID int identity(1,1) not null,
Role_ID int not null,
primary key (ID),
constraint fk_RoleName foreign key (Role_ID)
references tbl_Role(ID)
)

The table tbl_role has two columns as below:

ID RoleName
1 Manager
2 Analyst
3 Admin

So far so good. I created the tbl_rules.

But what i want to do is when I do select * from tbl_Rules, i want to show as below:

ID Role_ID
1 Manager
2 Admin

Instead it shows:

ID Role_ID
1 1
2 3

Is there a way to do this? The goal is to return the select * from tbl_Rules results to a gridview to enable adds and changes. I could do this by doing queries for each column, but I was hoping to make it easier. Not sure if this is even possible.

SQL 2012 :: Can't Remove DB Mirroring

Oct 26, 2012

I created a mirrored DB, added a new datafile to the principal using a path the mirror can't access. As a result the mirroring session was suspended because the mirror stated: "CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.) while attempting to open or create the physical file".

Fine, so I disabled mirroring on the principal (SET PARTNER OFF) which worked just fine, but the mirror stayed in a mirrored state, Object Explorer saying:"(Mirror, Disconnected / In Recovery). Sooo, I tried to disable db mirroring on the mirror using ALTER DATABASE db SET PARTNER OFF;, which completed successfully, but the DB STILL remained in a mirrored-configuration.

I tried ALTER DATABASE db SET PARTNER FORCE_SERVICE_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS which resulted in

"Msg 1404, Level 16, State 4, Line 1

The command failed because the database mirror is busy. Reissue the command later."

I tried taking the DB offline or restoring it from a backup, but all these operations resulted in "The operation cannot be performed on database "db" because it is involved in a database mirroring session or an availability group."

The only solution I can think of at the moment is shutting down the instance and deleting the data and log-files of the mirrored db, which would be just fine because this is just a test installation, but it would be not quite as easy in a productive environment.

Is there any other way to remove the mirrored state from a disconnected mirror or to simply get rid of the db entirely to perform a recovery?
