We're converting to new student info system. Sometimes registrar entered the same school into the schools table but spelled it differently. Trying to find all student assigned transfer credits from the same school but the school name is different. My db shows a max of 9 different schools students have rec'd transfer credits. Spending too much time trying to figure out best way to do it w/o a ton of IF stmts. Looking at Soundex and Difference functions. Still looks like a lot of coding. how to compare up to 9 string variables in sqlserver 2008?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to compare the date column. The date column is 2012-01-22 in this format.
So I need to convert getdate() into this format yyyy-mm-dd.

I used the link [URL] but I didn't see this format.
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've the following two tables:
create table #temp1 (name varchar(5), id int)
insert into #temp1 (name, id)
(
select 'a', 5
union
select 'a', 8
[code]....
As a result I would need every name from #temp2, where both searchred id's (5 & 8) from #temp1 are included.In this example i would like to get 'e' as a result, because in #temp2 'e' has the id's 5, 8 and 25.I've tried using cross apply, but cross apply returns every Name that have one of the ids... in this case it would also return 'c'...
Selectdistinct b.name
from(
Selectdistinct name
, id
from#temp1
wherename = 'a'
) as a
cross join(
Selectdistinct name
, id
from#temp2
) as b
wherea.id = b.id

I have two identical table structure with at least 60 or more columns!!
Table A
ID numeric(18, 0) Primary Key,
RefID numeric(18, 0),
CoNum Varchar(15),
PrevCode Varchar(15),
DispCode VArchar(15),
EffDate Date,
Sal numeric(18, 0),
SDeposit numeric(18, 0) Etc....
I need to compare Data between two table and provide result like this!
RefId ID, CoNum, PrevCode, DispCode, EffDate, Sal, SDeposit
1, ,No Match, ,20,5200,0
So condition like. If table A Column Data does not Equal Table B Column data then
If datatype is Date then display Difference of Days.
if Datatype is Numeric then display Difference between value.( it display 0 if doesn't have difference)
if Datatype is Varchar then display No Match word.
Refer to my query thread on msdn SQL site, how I can achieve the result.

Is there an easy way to compare the contents of objects between 2 different databases? For example, say I had 2 databases, My_DB_1 and My_DB_2, each with a SEC_User table. Say I wanted to do an object-to-object comparison between databases to see if there were any differences. Here's some sample SQL:
use My_DB_1
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
use My_DB_2
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
Say that the result sets above both returned a SEC_GetUser sproc object ref. Is there a way to write SQL that will compare the SEC_GetUser sprocs (and other objects in the above rowsets) from both databases? For example, if My_DB_1.SEC_GetUser returns an extra column in the result set than My_DB_2.SEC_GetUser then I'd like my comparison SQL to return a single column "IsDifferent" with SEC_GetUser as a row....
I have three tables:
"PaymentsLog"
"DatePeriod"
"PaidOrders"
As per below
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PaymentsLog](
[Code] ....
Is there a way to look at the DatePeriod table and use the StartDtae and EndDate as the periods to be used in the select statement and then cursor through each date between these two dates and then insert the data in to the PaymentsLog table?
I have tables in database where a VARCHAR(50) string is unique identifier. The database currently has an integer identity column as clustered primary key, and there's a non-clustered index on string column. The customer always queries based on a defined set of the identifier (string) column.
I wonder if someone sees an advantage of adding a persisted computed column to the table as the checksum of the string column, and then create a non-clustered index on the checksum and the string. When a customer requests data, we would compute the checksum of the customer provided identifier and add to the where clause or join, that the checksum and string must match.
Will SQL Server perform checksum check (integer) and only if it succeeds, perform the string check, in which case I see an advantage of added the checksum column? Or will SQL Server always check for both the checksum and string, in which case the additional column only adds unnecessary overhead? To note is the fact that the table(s) will have millions of rows, but the customer will request data for at at most, 100 or so identifiers.
Interest rate has been stored in comments column along with other information ( e.g. mike's student loan is 5% and car payment is $ 150). I need to extract 5% using Contains .. Why Contains? because it's a 1.7 m rows dataset and searching for fours specific interest rate values (e.g. 3%, 9%, 12% and 15%)
View 3 Replies View RelatedHere is a sample order # we used for one of our shipments: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
I need to extract the "24954" portion of that order # while within an INNER JOIN, but not sure how.
My problem is we have 2 order tables: OrderTable1 contains a field with the full order #. OrderTable2 contains a field with only the "24954" portion. I need to JOIN on these 2 fields somehow.
So an example would be the following:
OrderTable1.Full_Order_No: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
OrderTable2.Order_No: 24954
SELECT
ot1.Full_Order_No
, ot2.Order_No
FROM
OrderTable1 ot1
INNER JOIN OrderTable2 ot2 ON ot2.Order_No = [do something here to truncate ot1.Full_Order_No]
How can I do this?
Few notes:
-the 1st part of the order number, "BL-53151-" will ALWAYS be the same. It's our client # which will never change for the purpose of this query.
-The portion I need (24954) can be more or less than the 5 current digits.
-There will always be 6 portions to the order number, split up between 5 dashes.
I've below value in a column with data type - TEXT
QU 221025U2V/AN G-DT DL A 5 1A- 11,5,SF,230,30162,LZ,2,118,0,0,10170,25,06
This text value has some special characters in it. and I could not paste the exact value as this text box is not allowing me to do so. So, for reference I've attached a screenshot (Capture.png) of the value.
I want to fetch last two values from this text i.e. 25 and 06. (It can be anything like 56R,06T but will be the last two values separated by comma)...
How can we identify the Date Format from a String in SQL Server.
I might get an input from external source as "MM-DD-YYYY" or "DD-MM-YYYY" or "YYYY-MM-DD" or "YYYY-DD-MM", all i have to do is return the same with Current Date in the same format as Input.
Ex :
1. "02-20-2013" -> "05-28-2015"
2. "2014-04-19" -> "2015-05-28"
Any method to identify the DateFormat then it would have made the job very easy.

We have a legacy database that have hundreds of stored procedures.
The previous programmar uses a string like servername.databasename.dbo.tablename in the stored procedures.
We now have migrated the database to a new server. The old server is either needed to be replaced by the new server name, or remove it.
I don't know why he used servername as part of the fully qualified name, we don't use linked servers. So I think better removing the servername in all the stored procedures.
I know I can do a generate script, and replace the text and then use alter procedure to recreate all the stored procedures. But since hundreds of them, is there a programmatically way to replace them?
Our front end saves all IP addresses used by a customer as a comma separated string, we need to analyse these to check for blocked IPs which are all stored in another table.
A LIKE statement comparing each string with the 100 or so excluded IPs will be very expensive so I'm thinking it would be less so to split out the comma separated values into tables.
The problem we have is that we never know how many IPs could be stored against a customer, so I'm guessing a function would be the way forward but this is the point I get stuck.
I can remove the 1st IP address into a new column and produce the new list ready for the next removal, also as part of this we would need to create new columns on the fly depending on how many IPs are in the column.
This needs to be repeated for each row
SELECT IP_List
, LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) - 1) AS IP_1
, REPLACE(IP_List, LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) +0), '') AS NewIPList1
FROM IpExclusionTest
Results:
IP_List
109.224.216.4,146.90.13.69,146.90.85.79,46.208.122.50,80.189.100.119
IP_1
109.224.216.4
NewIPList1
146.90.13.69,146.90.85.79,46.208.122.50,80.189.100.119
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.
When i use the following querry i get no result when i know i should be getting one.

from table1
where '16bbbT1' >= StartStr
I get all the values above 16bbbT1
and conversly when i use
Select *
from table1
where '16bbbT1' <= EndStr
i get all the values less then 16bbbT1
I need to plug both where clause

I am trying to erase some erroneous bad data in my table. The description column has a lot of </div>oqwiroiweuru</a> weird data attached to it, i want to keep the data to the left of where the </div> erroneous data begins
update MyTable
set Description = LEFT(Description(CHARINDEX('<',Description)-1)) where myid = 1
that totally works.
update MyTable
set Description = LEFT(Description(CHARINDEX('<',Description)-1)) where myid >= 2
gives me a Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function. The statement has been terminated error.
I have a problem at the moment, where the client wants to be able to type in a custom algebraic formula with add/minus operators, and then to have this interpreted, so that the related datasets are then added and returned as a single dataset.
An example would be having a formula stored of [a] + [b] - [c]
and if I were to write the SQL to apply that formula, I might write something like (let's assume 1:1 relationships with the ID's)
select a.a + b.b - c.c as [result]
from z
inner join tblA a on z.id = a.id
inner join tblB b on z.id = b.id
inner join tblC c on z.id = c.id
The formula can change though, maybe things like:
[a] + [b] + [c] + [d]
[a] + [b]
The developer before me wrote something SQL-based where they parsed the string and assigned each value of the formula as either positive or negative (e.g A is positive, B is positive, C is negative, now sum the datasets to get the result), and then created one large table of values then summed them. This does (kind of) work, I'm just contemplating potential alternatives, as it is quite a slow process, and feels like it is quite convoluted, when I get into the details. If I were to do something like this in SQL, I'd normally want each part of the expression to be a column, and then to just apply the operators, but because the formula can change, then the SQL would need to be somehow dynamic for this approach.
need to look through hundreds of rows and compare two columns, and pull out rows where the date difference is 7 days
problem is one column stores the date as a string and values in that column look like this:
01/12/2007 10:15 pm
or
01/12/2007
the other column stores the date as seconds since 1/1/1970, which is good and easy to work with..
how do I write the select?
any ideas
thnx

View 2 Replies View RelatedOk, here is what i'm trying to do and its driving me nuts.
ok,
1) I have a proc that runs and needs to validate the user prior to running - this proc is called from an hand held device
2) the id and password are being passed as "clear text" but the password is stored in the database table hashed.
Is there anything on the db side that can get the hash value from the password column of the aspnet_membership table and compare it to the password being passed in to this proc? I have suggested several options to the handheld developer but nothing. This has to be done on the database side.
so,
username and password are passed to proc from handheld.
proc needs to validate ther user in the aspnet_membership table
if user id and password are valid execute the stored procedure
is this possible? if so can ANYONE point me to some examples of this being done?
