SQL Server 2008 :: Use Cursor To Run Dynamic To Find Special Characters Used In Database
Apr 16, 2015I need to find all uses of special characters in a database. I used the following code to do this:
USE dbName
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#Results') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Results
GO
[code]...
This will check all tables in the database, but if you want to check specific tables you can uncomment the line in the where clause and specify tables to be checked. The query will return any text fields that have any characters other than letters, numbers or spaces.
This code works fine for me because all the tables in my database have single column primary keys. However I know how much Jeff Moden hates cursors or RBAR queries, so my question is could this have been done by any method other than using a cursor?

Find Literal Underscore - Not Wildcard
Mar 21, 2005In MS Sql 2000 - is it possible to find the literal underscore character (_). Something like:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
where the query would return "a_abc", "a_cba", and "a_lksdfjlkdsjlksjdfl", but not "abc"?
I've tried:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like ( 'a' + CHAR(95) + '%' )
Any other suggestions?
SQL Server 2008 :: Trying To Print Records That Have Only English Characters

SQL Server 2008 :: Identifying ASCII Characters In NVARCHAR Columns
May 25, 2010I have an issue where I am storing various international characters in nvarchar columns, but need to branch the data at one point of processing so that ASCII characters are run through an additional cleansing process and all non-ASCII characters are set aside.
Is there a way to identify which nvarchar values are within the ASCII range and can be converted to varchar without corruption? Also, the strings may contain a mix of english and international character sets, so the entire string must be checked and not just the first character.
i.e.
Pass:
'Hello', 'abc123'
Fail:
'太平市', 'abc太123'
SQL Server 2008 :: String Break Into First Rows And Then Columns Based On Special Characters?
Jul 1, 2015Part 1: When there is ~ (tilde) and has any value after it then it goes into a new row and duplicating the other columns like the facility in the screenshot attached and new column having the sequence.
Part 2: When there is ^ (Caret) its a new column irrespective of a value present or not
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Equipment](
[EQU] [VARCHAR](50) NOT NULL,
[Notes] [TEXT] NULL,
[Facility] [VARCHAR](50) NULL)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Equipment] ([EQU] ,[Notes] ,[Facility])
SELECT '1001','BET I^BOBBETT,DAN^1.0^REGULAR^22.09^22.090~BET II^^^REGULAR^23.56^0~','USA' union
SELECT '998','BET I^JONES, ALANA^0.50^REGULAR^22.09^11.0450~BET II^^^REGULAR^23.56^0~','Canada' UNION
select '55','BET I^SLADE,ADAM F.^1.5^REGULAR^27.65^41.475~','USA'
SELECT * FROM dbo.Equipment
I created the table in excel and attached the screenshot for a clear picture as to what is required. I use text to Columns in excel to achieve this not sure if there is anything similar in sql.
SQL Server 2008 :: Normalizing Data Prior To Migration (Update String To Remove Special Characters)
Aug 21, 2015I'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 2008 :: Using Cursors To Find First / Highest And Last Values
Sep 20, 2015I have basic knowledge of T-SQL and I am using Cursors to get the first value, the last value and the peak value and some other values from other tables. I found some examples on google but the code I am using is mixed up. I am using multiple Cursors. I need to join three tables to get the result set into the Cursor. The first example uses 2 tables.
@FirstName NVARCHAR,
@LastName NVARCHAR,
@FirstValue decimal,
@HighestValue decimal,
@LastValue decimal
-- First Cursor
DECLARE TESTCURSOR CURSOR
DYNAMIC
[Code] ....
The above code seems totally inefficient but it gives the correct result. Now I want to pull some more value and join a third table (TABLE z) in the above CURSORS and not sure how to make it working using CURSORS.I would like to use the following in the CURSORS above.
SELECT x.publishdate, y.firstname, y.lastname, y.age, z.initialValue AS FirstValue, z.HighestValue AS Highest, z.LastValue AS Last
FROM TABLE x
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE y
ON x.id = y.id
INNER JOIN TABLE z
ON x.id = z.id
SQL Server 2008 :: How To Find Duplicates In A Table As Per Particular Column
Nov 2, 2015I am having a main table and temptable.
Every sunday, new data will be loaded from temptable to main table. I have to make sure that, duplicates does not get loaded from temptable to maintable.
For example, if last sunday a record gets loaded from temp to main. If this sunday also the same record is present then it means that is a duplicate.
The duplicate is decided on below scenario
select 'CodeChanges: ', count(*) from CodeChanges a, CodeChanges_Temp b
where a.AccountNumber = b.AccountNumber and
a.HexaNumber = b.HexaNumber and
a.HexaEffDate = b.HexaEffDate and
a.HexaId = b.HexaId and
[Code] ...
Yesterday (Sunday) , data from temp got loaded onto maintable but with duplicates.
There is a log which just displays number of duplicates.
Yesterday the log displayed 8 duplicates found. I need to find out the 8 duplicates which got loaded yesterday and delete it off from main table.
There is a column in both tables which is 'creation date and time'. Every Sunday when the load happens this column will have that day's date .
Now i need to find out what are all the duplicates which got loaded on this sunday.
The total rows in temp table is : 363
No of duplicates present is : 8
I used below query to find out the duplicates but it is returning all the 363 rows from the maintable instead of the 8 duplicates.
Select 'CodeChanges: ', * from CodeChanges a where
exists
( Select 1 from CodeChanges_Temp b where
a.HexaNumber = b.HexaNumber and
a.HexaEffDate = b.HexaEffDate and
[Code] ...
Need finding the duplicate records which has creation date time as '2015-11-01 00:00:00.000' and all the above columns mentioned in the query matches.
Example
Few colums only metioned below
creationdateandtime HexaNumber HexaCode
1. 1987-10-01 00:00:00.000 5 3
2. 2015-11-01 00:00:00.000 5 3
So here the second record is duplicate. This is what I am trying to find.

B1/30/2014 2575
B1/30/2014 25150

I want to get this, because for customer A, location 35 had the largest SUM of sales and for customer B, location 15 had the largest SUM.
CustLoc
A35
B15
If I have to use CTEs to get there, I can do that too. Just a little lost on how to get only the one location per customer.

Nov 2, 2015We have a process that uses a stored procedure: sp_MysteryProcedure....
The problem I am having is: I am 95% certain the issue lies with this stored procedure, but I cannot find the process that calls this procedure. It could be a SQL Server Job that calls the procedure directly, it could be an SSIS (*.dtsx) process that calls this procedure, or some other random process.
One of the big issues is we have tons of *.dtsx packages that call a bunch of stored procedures, but it doesn't seem a normal Windows Search (Start --> Search) searches these files (or perhaps something else is going on with this search).
So my question is multi-part.....
1). How would one go about finding a rouge process that loads data via a stored procedure if we believe we know the stored procedures name?
2). How do you search *.dtsx files?
