SQL Server 2008 :: Finding Multiple Character Occurrence In String
Mar 24, 2015
I am trying to figure out how I can find the names of people who have a double occurrence or more of characters either in their first name or last name.
This is for a data cleanup.
CREATE TABLE #Names ( FIRSTNAME VARCHAR (20), LASTNAME VARCHAR (20))
INSERT INTO #Names VALUES
('Thomas', 'Hohner')
,('Mike', 'SSmith')
,('TtTony', 'Hawk')
,('Jeff', 'Smith')
,('ZZSara', 'Jones')
,('Luke', 'HendersonZZ')
,('Lily', 'PPadZZZ')
SELECT * FROM #Names
DROP TABLE #Names

Hi all,
Am searching for a built-in function that retrives me the occurrence (counts) of a particular character inside a string.
For e.g. In the String 'SqlServer'. I want to find the no of the character 'e', which shud retrive the value as 2.
Can this be acheived through any function.
Cheers !

Ok following scenario
create table dbo.ADAssets
(Computername nvarchar(max))
insert into dbo.ADAssets
values
('AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d',
'AIRLBEOF3565')
So if execute the following
select Computername
from dbo.ADAssets
where Computername like
'AIRLBEOF3565%'
I get both records,but if I do this
select *
from dbo.ADAssets
where Computername in
(
'AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d',
'AIRLBEOF3565'
)
I only get AIRLBEOF3565
So the big picture is that I need to compare 2 tables to find records that match & don't but that I get matches that shouldn't be & matches that aren't.

This question is a long shot because it requires familiarity with a specific application called ChefTec which is a program for the restaurant industry, but I'm giving it a try because I have nowhere else to go to get the information I need. I am the developer for a competitor of this program, and some ChefTec users want to switch to our product and have their data, which is in SQL Server 2005 or 2008, converted.
My plan is to create a utility that the users could run to convert the data (written in Delphi, though that doesn't really matter). The problem is that I can't determine the connection string that ChefTec uses. It doesn't seem to be stored anywhere obvious (an ini file or the registry). When ChefTec is installed it either installs SQL Server or gives the option of using an existing instance, but there's no way for me to know how it was set up on any given machine. The program must be using some internal logic to create the connection string but that's not accessible to me.

Hi,
I've got a situation where a table column is composed of decimal numbersthat have to be converted to whole numbers. I want to use CEILING and FLOOR functions to round them up or down, but how do I extract the part after the decimal point to evaluate which operation to apply? I don't think there is a function in sql server that looks for a position of a character within a string. I tried INSTR (the vb function) and that gave me an error msg.
Thanks

I'm trying to figure out how to find the last whitespace character in avarchar string. To complicate things, it's not just spaces that I'mlooking for, but certain ascii characters (otherwise, obviously, justuse LEN). My initial thought was to REVERSE it, find the location(using CHARINDEX) looking for each of those characters (so, multiplequeries), then subtract that from the LEN of the string.The problem I'm running into is that there are about a dozen differentcharacters we're looking for. Any suggestions? My thought was to(this sounds silly, so there's gotta be a better way) dump the resultsfrom each CHARINDEX into a table, then find the MAX of the table anduse that. But, like I said, it sounds silly. I don't think I can do a[^0-9A-Z] either, since there are non-Alphanumeric characters we'relooking for.Many thanks.

I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last

Hi Friends:
I usually run this query in Oracle to find out the position of a character in a string from first position to the nth occurence.
For example, I run the following queries in oracle to get the desire result.
SQL> select instr('DADADAQQQA','A',1,1) FROM DUAL;
INSTR('DADADAQQQA','A',1,1) -- First occurence of 'A' from start.
---------------------------
2
SQL> select instr('DADADAQQQA','A',1,2) FROM DUAL;
INSTR('DADADAQQQA','A',1,2) -- Second occurence of 'A' from start.
---------------------------
4
SQL> select instr('DADADAQQQA','A',1,3) FROM DUAL;
INSTR('DADADAQQQA','A',1,3) -- Third occurence of 'A' from start.
---------------------------
6
SQL> select instr('DADADAQQQA','A',1,4) FROM DUAL;
INSTR('DADADAQQQA','A',1,4) -- Forth occurence of 'A' from start.
---------------------------

Is there ay equivelant way in Transact- SQL? If not, can anybody suggest the solution?

I have a field that contains data like "mary;john;dog;cat;frog" I want to query the field for the values between each of the semi colins. I was going to use Substring with a patIndex but I can only patIndex the first semi colin and not the 2nd 3rd.... I was wondering if someone could tell me the right was of doing this or point me in the right direction.
Thank you,

I am trying to find a beginning date from multiple date ranges, for example:
RowNumberidBegin dtEnd Dt
107933192014-09-022015-06-30
207933192013-09-032014-09-01
307933192012-09-042013-09-02
407933192011-09-062012-09-03
For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2011-09-06
108203492014-09-022015-06-30
208203492013-09-032014-09-01
308203492012-09-042013-09-02
408203492011-12-122012-07-03--not a continuous date range
For this id: 0793319, my beginning date is 2012-09-04
108203492014-09-022015-06-30
For this id: 0820349, my beginning date is 2014-09-02
To find continuous date, you look at the beginning date in row 1 and end date in row 2, then if no break in dates, row 2 beginning date to row 3 end date, if no break continue until last date There could multiple dates up to 12 which I have to check for "no break" in dates, if break, display beginning date of last continuous date.

We have some URLs within a bulk block of text some of which are very long. I need to identify rows where such urls exceed say 100 characters in length in amongst other text.So the rule would be return a record if within the string there is a string (without spaces) longer than 100 characters.

I need to find a way to identify SPIDS where queries are connected to certain databases using the 4 dot notation instead of actually being connected to the database in question.
For instance, I connect and my default database is MASTER. In MASTER, instead of typing USE MyDb ahead of my query, I just type my query as:
SELECT Col1, Col2
FROM MyDB.dbo.MyTable
The above is the simple scenario. We usually have queries connecting 3 or 4 user dbs together. So database1 might have a query pointing to database2. What I need is a way to identify the SPIDS that are connecting to database2 despite being in database1.

I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
Example:
DECLARE @StrInput NVARCHAR(2000) = '.NET,Java, Python'
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE titleName = '.NET' AND titleName='java' AND titleName = 'Python'
As shown in the example above I need to take the comma delimited string as input and search each individual string like in the select statement.

I have a legacy table which name contains non-printable characters (CHAR(31), to be more specific). The non-printable character is beside a underscore, and I've discovered that the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+_ shoots the CHAR(31) character (which means "US" - Unit Separator). The previous developer should've hit by mistake this combination, and created the table with this weird character on it.
When we issue a SELECT command against the table, it returns results. But when we try to issue any DDL to it (DROP, sp_rename, etc), it simply doesn't work.
Examples:
DROP Table_Name; raises "Msg 15225 - No item by the name of 'Table_Name' could be found in the current database 'MyDB', given that @itemtype was input as '(null)'".
sp_rename 'Table_Name', 'NewTableName'; raises "Msg 102 - Incorrect syntax near '_Name'".
I already duplicated the table with the correct name, and have corrected it on the referenced objects (SP's, Views etc). The remaining step is just dropping it from the database. when we copy+paste from SQL Server to Notepad++, it shows the hidden chacacter ("US") on the middle of the table name, beside the underscore.

My backups are failing sometimes.My db size is around 400 GB and we are taking backup to the remote server. Free size available on the disk is showing 600 GB but my database full backup run more than 10 hrs and failed. The failure reason is there is not enough space on the disk.
What could be the possible failure reasons? It has more than the the database size on the backup server but why it is showed that msg on the job failures. I noticed same thing occurred couple of times in the past.
Is there any way to find how much the backup file will be generate before we run the backup job?
i.e. If we run the full backup of test1 database now, it will generate ....bak file for that test1 db
currently we are using maintenance plan and with compression (2008R2) and the database has TDE enabled
