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 all,
@str varchar(500)
select @str = 'abcd,efgh,i,jklmn,opsqrtuv'
For the above string, which string function can be used to find the number of occurences of a particular character, for example, ','? For this example, the answer should be 4. Is there any built-in function in SQL to do this?
Thanks in advance,
-Praveena

I need to know how to figure out the number of times a character occurs within a string, in SQL.
For example, "happy" concerning "p" would be evaluated to 2.

I need to build a query, or use a function to removing alfabetic Character from a string.
My string is
WI14000323-0003
The value i want to keep is : 14000323-0003.
I try using this SELECT:
SELECT STUFF(Upper(z.lote), PATINDEX('%[A-Z]%', Upper(z.lote)), 2, '') from mytable
but in this case i have only 2 letters WI, but in the future i dont know if is only 2 letters, 1 letter or more, then is not what i pretend.

I have a problem where I want to write a function to remove recurring characters from a string and replace them with a single same character.
For instance I have the string '12333345566689' and the result should be '12345689'. In Oracle I could do this with "regexp_replace('12333345566689', '(.)1+', '1')", but in T-SQL the only solution I could think of is something like this:
DECLARE @code NVARCHAR(255)
SET @code = '12333345566689';
SET @code = REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(@Code, '1', '~1'), '1~', ''), '~1', '1');
and repeat this for 2 - 9. But I'm sure there is a more elegant version for this in SQL Server 2012.

Consider the following data
create table #sampletbl
(
Category varchar(100),
Numbers varchar(100),
Status varchar(100)
)
insert into #sampletbl values ('A','29710000001','0')
[code]....
if status = 0 then unused status = 1 then used
i need to find 10 continues unused numbers
This is the sample data. In live I'm having plenty of data like that . So quite complex.
note : In real world I need to find the 1000 continues number ranges.

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 !

I have a string and i want to get only the numbers from right.
For example if I have the string Like '123756zxfggr123456' then it will show me only 123456 or if i have the string like
'4vbz67xfggr123dfd' then it will show me only 123 or if i have the string like '123756zxfgg43r5' then it will show me only 5.
I got a function where it gives me all the numbers in a string but I don't need that
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetNumeric
(@strAlphaNumeric VARCHAR(256))
RETURNS VARCHAR(256)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @intAlpha INT
[Code] ....
If I ran the select statement it gives me the result 111123456 but i want only 123456 or if i select
SELECT dbo.udf_GetNumeric('111zxfggr6587fhhfkwee') AS 'Num' it will show me 6587.

I'm new to SQL and I've been trying this for a while now.
I have let's say a loop of numbers from one to ten. It appears like this:
1
2
3
4
5
What I want to do is to have it appear on one column like this: 12345, the problem is I can't seem to figure out if I need to only have one variable or I'm missing something else, I figured you need to convert them into a string character but I'm still unable to do it.

add a number to the end of an ID to create a series.For example, I have an EventID that may have many sub events. If the EventID is 31206, and I want to have subEvents, I would like have the following sequence. In this case, lets say I have 4 sub Events so I want to check the EventID and then produce:
312061
312062
312063
312064
How can I check what the EventID is, then concatenate a sequence number by the EventID?

One of my varchar columns in a table has multiple key words enclosed in a pattern of special characters.
Eg: William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world's pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England's national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other [##playwright##].
I need to write to query to find all distinct key words that are enclosed within [## and ##]. My query should yield the following results from the string in the example above
[##actor##]
[##dramatist##]
[##playwright##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set
[##poems##]
[##poet##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set
[##sonnets##]
[##verses##]
[##writer##]
I need to run this on a large table, so I am looking for the best possible way to minimize any performance issues.
Just give you sample code, I have provided below 2 separate snippets, one with table variable and another with temp table.
DECLARE @MyTable TABLE (MyString VARCHAR (8000))
INSERT @MyTable VALUES ('William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world''s pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England''s national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain.

I'm trying to find a specific string (a name) and replace it with another inside of a VARCHAR(7000) field. Unfortunately, there are names like Ted and Ken that I'm trying to replace. I would like to leave words like Broken, admitted, etc... intact.
UPDATEtbl
SETBody = LEFT(REPLACE(tbl.Body, pm.OldFirstName, p.FirstName), 7000)
FROM Table tbl
JOIN Person p ON p.PersonID = tbl.PersonID
JOIN PersonMap pm ON pm.PersonID = p.PersonID AND LEN(pm.OldFirstName) > 2
WHEREtbl.Body LIKE '%[^a-z]'+pm.OldFirstName+'[., ]%
'The problem I'm running into is that the '[, ]%' in the LIKE excludes any record that ends with the FirstName because it is requiring either a space, comma or period after the name. Is there some way to add an empty string to the list of acceptable characters as that would cover any scenario in the data? I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.

I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip"
or
"tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip"
or
"airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234
123
12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.

I have a request where i would like to get the start date/time and end date/time and flag (with an int) which hours (24 hour clock) have values between the two dates. Example car comes into service on 2013-12-25 at 0800 and leaves 2013-12-25 at 1400 the difference is 6 hours and i need my table to show
Column: Hour_6 Value: 0
Column: Hour_7 Value: 0
Column: Hour_8 Value: 1
Column: Hour_9 Value: 1
Column: Hour_10 Value: 1
Column: Hour_11 Value: 1
Column: Hour_12 Value: 1
Column: Hour_13 Value: 1
Column: Hour_14 Value: 0
As i'm working away at it i'm trying to figure out how i could use a Time Dimension table for this but dont really see much. So far i have the difference between the two times in hours (hour_diff) and the start hour (min_hour) so i would like to do something where i update the first hour (min_hour) and update columns based on the numbers of hours (hour_diff)

I have a table that stores working hrs, such as
RecID,StaffID,StartDate,EndDate
17,969,2015-05-18 00:00:00.000,2015-05-18 06:00:00.000
18,969,2015-05-18 18:00:00.000,2015-05-19 06:00:00.000
19,969,2015-05-19 18:00:00.000,2015-05-20 06:00:00.000
20,969,2015-05-20 18:00:00.000,2015-05-21 06:00:00.000
21,969,2015-05-21 18:00:00.000,2015-05-22 06:00:00.000
22,969,2015-05-22 18:00:00.000,2015-05-23 06:00:00.000
23,969,2015-05-23 14:00:00.000,2015-05-24 08:00:00.000
24,969,2015-05-24 22:00:00.000,2015-05-25 00:00:00.000
So working times can go over midnight, there can be more than one working period in a day etc.
For this staff member the summary of the weeks work will be
18/05/2015 - 12 hrs
19/05/2015 - 12 hrs
20/05/2015 - 12 hrs
21/05/2015 - 12 hrs
22/05/2015 - 12 hrs
23/05/2015 - 16 hrs
24/05/2015 - 10 hrs
Now for the complicated part, a person can take absence(sick,holiday,other) for any part of a day or whole day(s). For these absence periods only the worked time on that day needs to be negated off, not the whole period of time.
So for example
If this person
had a days holiday on the 22nd, shown in the HOLIDAY table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969, 22/05/2015 00:00:00.000,22/05/2015 23:59:59.000
A Leave of Absence on the 20th, shown in the LEAVE table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969,20/05/2015 12:00:00.000,20/05/2015 16:00:00.000
And was off sick on the morning of the 19th, shown in the SICKNESS Table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969, 19/05/2015 00:00:00.000,19/05/2015 11:59:59.000
Now the Summary table should now show
18/05/2015 - 12 hrs
19/05/2015 - 6 hrs
20/05/2015 - 12 hrs
21/05/2015 - 12 hrs
22/05/2015 - 0 hrs
23/05/2015 - 16 hrs
24/05/2015 - 10 hrs
The 'Leave of Absence' on the 20th had no effect on the total for the day as it was between planned work times. how to do this within T-SQL, as simple as possible as I've got to had this code over to other staff members to maintain, who have not had much SQL experience yet?
I've tried doing it as a temp table, with dual insert/select commands, splitting the times over midnight, which partially worked but missed some of the combinations.

I am trying to insert a row into a table of Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

[DATTA] [char] (3000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
,
[CODECS] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
,
The [DATTA] column is causing a problem. Even if I am trying to put only 1700 character string into [DATTA], the java code throws the following exception:-
StaleConnecti A CONM7007I: Mapping the following

Why is it throwing an exception even though the sum-total of this row doesn't exceed 8000 characters?
