SQL Server 2008 :: Removing 00-00-00 From Varchar Column In Table?
Jul 29, 2015
I've look at several different methods for removing leading zero's from a column but I need to remove trailing data from a VARCHAR column. For some reason, the old database saved the time along side the date in my client's app.
For example:
The old database format "2015-07-28 00:00:00"
I need the data in this column in the new database to only be the date "2015-07-28", there are alot of rows with this issue.
Is there a query I can run to remove the 00-00-00 from all of the rows? Some of the fields actually have a time in there like this: 2015-07-28 12:15:35, with this one, I don't think it's going to be easy but if I could at least remove the 00-00-00 from all the rows that have it, that would be a good start.

I have a table . It has a nullable column called AccountNumber, whichis of varchar type. The AccountNumber is alpha-numeric. I want to takedata from this table and process it for my application. Before doingthat I would like to filter out duplicate AccountNumbers. I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here? Can somebody help me in making sure Ifilter out all duplicate entries ?Thanks,Rad

I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

I have two table 'Cal_date' and 'RPT_Invoice_Shipped'.Table cal_data has column month_no, start_date and end_date. And table RPT_Invoice_Shipped has columns Day_No, Date, Div_code, Total_Invoiced, Shipped_Value, Line_Shipped, Unit_Shipped, Transaction_Date.
I am using below insert statment to insert data in RPT_Invoice_Shipped table.
insert into [Global_Report_Staging].[dbo].[RPT_Invoice_Shipped]
(Day_No, Date, Div_code, Total_Invoiced, Transaction_Date)
select , CONVERT(DATE,Getdate()) as Date, LTRIM(RTRIM(div_Code)),
sum(tot_Net_Amt) as Total_Invoiced, (dateadd(day, -1, convert(date, getdate())))
from [Global_Report_Staging].[dbo].[STG_Shipped_Invoiced]
WHERE CONVERT(DATE,Created_date )=CONVERT(DATE,Getdate())
group by div_code
while inserting in column Day_No in RPT_Invoice_Shipped table, I have to use formula (Transaction_Date-start_date+1) where Transaction_Date from STG_Shipped_Invoiced and start_date from Cal_date table. I was using datepart (mm, Transaction_Date) so it gives month_no, and this month_no we can join with month_no of Cal_date table and fetch start_date from Cal_date table, so that we can use start_date for formula (Transaction_Date-start_date+1).
But I am getting difficulty to arrange this in above query. how to achieve this?

I'm creating a sql stored procedure inside this proc it returns some information about the user, i.e location, logged in, last logged in, etc I need to join this on to the photos table and return the photo which has been set as the profile picture, if it hasn't been set then return the first top 1 if that makes sense?
The user has the option to upload photos so there might be no photos for a particular user, which I believe I can fix by using a left join
My photos table is constructed as follows:
CREATE TABLE [User].[User_Photos](
[Id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[UserId] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[PhotoId] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[IsProfilePic] [bit] NULL,
[Code] ....
Currently as it stands the proc runs but it doesn't return a particular user because they have uploaded a photo so I need to some how tweak the above to return null if a photo isn't present which is where I'm stuck.

I 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.

I have two tables one list changes of hospital ward and one lists changes of consultant doctor. These can change independently ie a ward change can occur without a consultant change and vice versa. I want to summarise these changes to give the status at each date_serial value.
create table #temp_ward_stay(date_serial bigint,ward_id varchar(10))
;
insert into #temp_ward_stay
values
(201501021200,'W1'),(201501031201,'W2'),(201501091200,'W3'),(201501161200,'W4'),(201501161201,'W5')(201501271200,'W3'),(201502101200,'W5')
;
create table #temp_consultant_episode(
date_serial bigint,
consultant_id varchar(10))
;
insert into #temp_consultant_episode values
(201501021200,'C1'),(201501031200,'C2'),(201501031201,'C3'),(201501091201,'C4'),
(201501121200,'C3'),(201501301200,'C6'),(201502111200,'C6'),(201502111201,'C7')
;
If I use:
select date_serial,consultant_id,null as ward_id from #temp_consultant_episode
union
select date_serial,null as consultant_id,ward_id from #temp_ward_stay
I get:
date_serial ward_id consultant_id
-------------------- ---------- -------------
201501021200 NULL C1
201501021200 W1 NULL
201501031200 NULL C2
201501031201 NULL C3
201501031201 W2 NULL
201501091200 W3 NULL
201501091201 NULL C4
201501121200 NULL C3
201501161200 W4 NULL
[code].....
whereas what I actually want is:
date_serialward_idconsultant_id
201501021200W1C1
201501031200W1C2
201501031201W2C3
201501091200W3C3
201501091201W3C4
201501121200W3C3
201501161200W4C3
201501161201W5C3
[code].....
I can see how I could remove the nulls where the date_serial values are the same:
select ce.date_serial,ward_id,consultant_id from #temp_consultant_episode ce
join #temp_ward_stay ws
on ce.date_serial=ws.date_serial
but I can't see how to move forward from here.

I have a scenario where I need to add a blank column to a table that is a publisher. This table contains over 100 million records. What is the best way to add the column? In the past where I had to make an update, it breaks replication because the update would take forever as jobs are continuously updating the table so replication can't catch up.
If I alter a table and add a column, would this column automatically get picked up in replication?

I inherited a system which has an index on a set of columns which allow more than 900 bytes of data in it. We know one of the fields can be shortened to shrink the potential key size below 900 bytes.
The problem is the table is about 120m rows, and the index currently on that column is seeked (sought?) on about 2.5m times a day.
At its simplest, I want to drop the existing index, alter the column to shrink the varchar size, and then rebuild the index on the newly shortened column.
On a smaller, less used table, I might just do this in outside of business hours and call it a day, but I'm concerned that this will take a long time and block a lot of operations.
1) IIRC, shrinking a column, unlike widening it, is much more expensive, even if there are no values which would actually end up trunacted. Is this right?
2) I did a few tests on some other smaller (2+ m) row tables and was still able to select data out of the table. I don't think this covered all the read scenarios, but are there known scenarios which would simply not work during an index build?
3) I haven't yet tried DML operations to the table while it's doing either the column update or an index build. what scenarios would or would not be blocked?

I 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.

6 ccc 15
7 ccc 15
8 fff 20
9 fff 20
10 fff 20
So now I have duplicates values in id column so now I need to take only one value of each and delete the remaining. I need to take first id value 10,15,20 so only 3 rows should be there in my table.

Can we bulk insert only the desired column from a flat file to a table?
I am using SSIS to bulk insert from a file with more than 200 columns. I am trying to find a way I can bulk insert them to multiples table through SSIS.
The one way I can think is pre map the columns from the file to the destination tables. Build numerous Bulk Insert tasks to achieve that. But not sure if SSIS will let me do that.

A common partitioning scenario is when the partition column has the same value for every record in the partition, as opposed to a range of values. Am I the only person who wonders why there isn't an option to automatically partition a table based on the unique values of the partition column? Instead of defining a partition function with constants, you ought to be able to just give it the column and be done. This would be particularly valuable for tables partitioned on a weekly or monthly date; when new data is added it could simply create a new partition if one doesn't already exist.

I am building a table change log that will track each attribute update and include the original and new values.
[BatchYearMonthKey] [int] NULL,
[BatchYearMonthDayKey] [int] NULL,
[AccountID] [varchar](200) NULL,
[Attribute] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[Old_ValueAtrDefault] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[New_ValueAtrDefault] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[Old_ValueAtrLong] [varchar] (max) NULL,
[New_ValueAtrLong] [varchar] (max) NULL
The challenge that the spectrum of varchar lengths across the table. I have one attribute that requires varchar(max) and all other attributes (about 40) are varchar (200).
I am trying to accomplish the following:
Account ID Status
1 Enabled
Now changed to
AccountID Status
1 Disabled
My log table will look like the following:
[BatchYearMonthKey] BatchYearMonthDayKey] [AccountID] [Attribute] [Old_ValueAtrDefault] [New_ValueAtrDefault] [Old_ValueAtrLong] [New_ValueAtrLong]
201504 20150409 1 Status Enabled Disabled NULL NULL
My question:
I created two fields (Old_ValueAtrLong and New_ValueAtrLong) dedicated for the one attribute that is a varchar (max). I was trying to avoid storing [Status] for example that's a varchar(200) in a field that is varchar(max). Is this the right approach? Or are there other recommendations in how to handle storing the data in the most efficient manner?

I have a table in my database and the table has almost 45 columns and the rowsize is 10468 bytes.in that most of the colums have varchar datatypes and and i think coz of poor knowledge of the data most of the columns with varchar data were given more column length. Now i want to decrease the size of those columns and to see the row size would be around 8k Bytes.If i do this now, does it affect the table performance much....Infact can i do this as there is lot of data (almost 2 million rows) in the table.If it is possible is there anything to be taken care before changing the column lenghts.
Thanks.

Working on partitioning a few large tables. One of the tables included a text column and the €œTEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]€? clause which would prevent the partitioning of this table. After some research we found that the data was legacy and no longer used. We updated the column on the affected rows to NULLS and altered the column to a VARCHAR(20)
When I attempted to run the ALTER TABLE SWITCH I encountered the error
Msg 4947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresultsjoe' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part'.
After a lot of grief and testing I determined that the message was bogus and the real issue is that the 'sys.tables' still has €œlob_data_space_id€? with a value of 1 for this table.
I created a copy of the table with the text column altered to varchar and one with just the varchar to begin with. After copying data from the original table, I tried to run the alter switch. It failed once again for the text column altered to varchar table, but it worked for the varchar from the start.
Since it appears that this value is causing my issues, is there anyway to update the table in place. I know I can BCP the data out, but that would take too long and would defeat the advantage of using the alter switch method.
BOL States:
The allow updates option is still present in the sp_configure stored procedure, although its functionality is unavailable in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the setting has no effect). In SQL Server 2005, direct updates to the system tables are not supported. This means we cannot update the table manually.
