SQL Server 2012 :: Parse A String Every 6 Letters

How to parse a string to equal length substrings in SQL
I am getting a long concatenated string from a query (CTVALUE1) and have to use the string in where clause by parsing every 6 characters..
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PTEMP](
[ID] [char](10) NULL,
[name] [char](10) NULL,
[CTVALUE1] [char](80) NULL
)
INSERT INTO PTEMP
VALUES('11','ABC','0000010T00010L0001000T010C0001')
select * from ptemp
After parsing I have to use these values in a where clause like this
IN('000001','0T0001','0L0001','000T01','0C0001')
Now ,the values can change I mean the string may give 5 values(6 character) today and 10 tomorrow.. So the parsing should be dynamic.

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 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.

Yeah, it's pretty simple. Maybe it'll help someone out.
-- USAGE: fn_extract_chars(string_to_search, 'letters' -or- 'numbers')
CREATE FUNCTION fn_extract_chars (@x varchar(128), @y char(7))
RETURNS varchar(128)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @chars varchar(128)
DECLARE @pos int
DECLARE @action varchar(32)
SET @pos = 0
SET @chars = ''
IF @y = 'numbers' SET @action = '[0-9]'
ELSE IF @y = 'letters' SET @action = '[a-zA-Z]'
WHILE @pos < (DATALENGTH(@x) + 1)
BEGIN
IF PATINDEX(@action,SUBSTRING(@x, @pos, 1)) > 0
BEGIN
SET @chars = @chars + (SELECT SUBSTRING(@x, @pos, 1))
END
SET @pos = @pos + 1
END
RETURN(@chars)
END

I have a table structure where there are multiple "/" separated values in two columns that I need to parse out into single records.
CREATE TABLE CONFIGNEW(PlanID VARCHAR(100), GroupID VARCHAR(6), SubGroupID VARCHAR(255), AddOnCode VARCHAR(2), ExternalCode VARCHAR(20)
INSERT INTO CONFIGNEW(PlanID, GroupID, SubGroupID, ExternalCode) VALUES('101/201', '000005', 'LAA/OCA/UCA/XCA', '1', 'M231_1)
[Code] .....
The results I am looking to achieve are:
PLanIDGroupIDSubGroupIDAddOnCodeExternalCode
101000005LAA1M231_1
101000005OCA2M231_2
101000005UCA3M231_3
101000005XCA4M231_4
201000005LAA1M231_1
201000005OCA2M231_2
201000005UCA3M231_3
201000005XCA4M231_4
Is there an SQL statement that can be used to accomplish this?

I am trying to find all instances of a string that contain the letters FSC. While I am able to find most of them, I am unable to find the ones wrapped in double quotes.
Query example:
Select *
from myTable
Where item like '%FSC%'
This works great with the exception of when FSC is surrounded by double quotes.
ex: MySentencecontains"FSC"
I have tried Replace with no luck.

As part of a migration of data to a new SAN I have hit a bit of a snag in the migration. In summary what will happen is user database data files will be moved from one LUN (say drive F:) to a new LUN (say drive G:). Once all the data is migrated, plan is to remove dependency of that drive from SQL server and remove the drive and delete the LUN. So far, so good.
However one of the LUNs (drive D:) destined to be deleted also hosts the instance default directories, i.e. everything under MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER (Data, Backups, FTData, JOBS, etc). BOL has articles on how to migrate system databases, including tempdb. But there is no guidance that I could find on how to relocate other folders. There are forums where users have listed registry changes, etc that can achieve this but these are steps I am unwilling to take on a production server.
So my plan is:
1) Add new drive to cluster (drive E:), sufficiently large enough to host instance default folders
2) Shutdown SQL server
3) Copy all default folders to new drive
4) Swap drive letters so that new drive is now D:
5) Start SQL server and if everything works, delete the original drive (which is now drive E:).

Hi,
I've the following query. I'm using the yellow highlighted to join 2 tables, as these tables dont have a relationship between them.
The format of the name field is 'AAAA-BBBBBB-123'
here A will be only 4 chars, followed by '-' B can be any number of chars again followed by '-' and the last is the id which I'm using to do a join. This query will fail if the id is just 1 digit as its taking the last 3 chars as the id.
I dont know how to get the id from the right using charindex. Charindex would search for the first occurence of '-' from the right and get the chars after hypen i.e 123. How can this be achieved?
SELECT id AS 'ID',
name AS 'name',
sequence AS 'num'
FROM
FirstTable A
INNER JOIN SecondTable q
ON (CONVERT(INT,RIGHT(name,3))= a.id)
INNER JOIN ThridTable t
ON(t.id = q.id)
INNER JOIN FourthTable s
ON (q.name = s.name )
WHERE A.id = @ID
AND t.name=LEFT(s.name,((CHARINDEX('-',s.name))-1))
ORDER BY 'ID','num'
One more question on this is: Is this a good way of joining tables? If I dont use this I've a very large query containing unions. Which one should be bug-free and more efficient?
Thanks,
Subha

I am attempting to create a view to bring together multiple joined tables based ona one to many relationship
Eg Table1 contains code, address
Table2 contains code, financial details
table3 contains code, financial history
This view is then going to be used to update a table with only one record for each 'code'. i.e. NewTable = code, add1, add2, city, prov, postal, financialvalue, history value1, history value2
My current stumbling block is:
One of the fields in table1 is a free format address field (address).
eg. could be (street addres, city prov, postal)
or
could be (street address 1, address2, address 3, city prov, postal)
I want to be able to assign individual components of the address to corresponding fields
if # of commas = 2 then
address1 = substring(address,1, position of first comma)
cityprov = substring(address,possition of first comma, position of second comman)
postal = substring(address rest of field)
I have a UDF which returns the number of commas but I cannot figure out how to use either a nested case statement to parse the string...
ANy ideas on how best to accompish this?
( this table is needed for some leacy software which can only handle one record with all infor....

I have a column with varchar(2000) that contains events with time-stamps. The data looks something like this for a record:
03:14:46: abc 03:14:47: def 03:14:59: xyz 03:15:17: zzz
I would like to parse out each time-stamp and event to a separate columns, like
col1= 03:14:46: abc
col2= 03:14:47: def
col3= 03:14:59: xyz
col4= 03:15:17: zzz
The number of events are dynamic so number of time-stamps with events can be anything from 2-30 of them.
Anyone would suggest how I can resolve this?
Thanks.

Any way to parse out a text value (not varChar, using text data type) that is > than 8000 characters long? I'm looping through 1 big string passed to the DB that is pipe delimited, but I find myself needing the substring function to keep track of which segment I'm acting on (after an update, I then need to take that segment and remove it from the string)...but the subString function won't take anything larger than 8000 chars.
Say I have this string that is text data type...
'aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|....'
..and so on, surpassing 8000 char length, how could you parse it out using the pipes as the delimter, then do an Update using that segment? Afterward, return to that string and find the next segment, then use it, and so on (in a loop). I tried using an update to set the string = replace(string, segmentJustUsed, '') to "erase" it, but replace can't take text as the datatype. Any help? Hope this isn't to confusing.

SP to parse a delimited string and insert the result in a table. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. I have 2 tables - RawData & WIP. I have Robots on a manufacturing line capable of moving data to a DB. I move the raw data to RawData. On insert [RawData], I want to parse the string and move the contents to WIP as indicated below. I will run reports against the WIP Table.
Also, after the string is parsed, I'd like to change the Archive column, the _0 at the end of the raw string to 1 in the WIP table to indicate a successful parse.
Sample Strings - [RawData Table]

04102015_115030_10_013_9_8_6_99999_Test 2_1_0
Desired Output - [WIP Table]

We have a project to parse out an xml file into relational sql table. The xml file is complex type with multiple nesting. We are trying to resort to use XQuery to parse it out to SQL tables-because of one thing or the other - other options on the table were not viable. I know that we can use C# to do the same thing but we are sticking to TSQL with Xquery. Has anybody used the same route for processing large complex xml files?

I am trying to parse data separated through text (ie abc1, abc2, abc3, abc4, etc).
ID ParseData
1 [abc1.Pants/abc2.Orange hat /abc3.Purple shirt /abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]
2 [abc1.Gray Shoes/abc2.Striped jacket /abc3./abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]
3 [abc1.Blue jeans/abc2./abc3./abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]
New Data (abc1, abc2, abc3, etc each have a field in the new data set)
ID ParseData abc1 abc2 abc3 abc4 abc5 abc6 abc7 abc8
1 [abc1.Pants...abc8.] Pants Orange hat Purple shirt
2 [abc1.Gray...abc8.] Gray Shoes Striped jacket
3 [abc1.Blue...abc8.] Blue Jeans
If I only want the data in between abc1 and abc2, between abc2 and abc3, etc, what would be the best way to do that?
My code so far looks like:
DECLARE
@string varchar(100) = '[abc1.Pants/abc2.Orange hat /abc3.Purple shirt /abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]',
@searchString1 varchar(20) = 'abc1',
@searchString2 varchar(20) = 'abc2';
SELECT newstring
FROM dbo.SubstringBetween(@string,@searchString1,@searchString2);
This returns 'Pants.'How do I continue to parse between abc2 and abc3? between abc3 and abc4?And then continue to ID2?Should I be referencing the ParseData field instead of string of data that I want to parse?

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 have log files that I am loading into a table with duration data in the format "xx hrs xx min xx sec". Only the parts that are required will be there so if duration is only 2 seconds , the column will show "2 sec".
I am trying to get the duration into in to do some analysis on it and I have come up with this query so far which returns the correct data but i am wondering if there is a way to do what I am trying in a more readable format.
CREATE TABLE #tmp(duration VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO #tmp
VALUES ('1 hrs 20 min 12 sec'), --4812 sec
('48 sec'), --48 sec
('39 min 1 sec'), --2341 sec
('11 hrs 1 min 1 sec'), --39661 sec
('59 min 0 sec'), --3540 sec
('2 min 50 sec') --170 sec
And this is what I have so far
SELECT CASE
WHEN CHARINDEX('hrs', duration, 1) <> 0 THEN CAST(SUBSTRING(duration, 1, CHARINDEX(' hrs', duration, 1) - 1)AS int) * 3600 + CAST(SUBSTRING(duration, CHARINDEX(' hrs', duration, 1) + 5, CHARINDEX(' min', duration, 1) - 7)AS int) * 60 + CAST(SUBSTRING(duration, CHARINDEX(' min', duration, 1) + 5, CHARINDEX(' sec', duration, 1) - 14)AS int)
WHEN CHARINDEX('hrs', duration, 1) = 0
[Code] ...
I ultimately plan on converting this to a SSIS expression so that is why I am looking to simplify it.

I need extracting string that is between certain characters that are in certain position.
Here is the DDL:
DROP TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest](
[StoreNumber] [varchar](50) NULL,
[StoreNumberParsed] [varchar](50) NULL)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
[Code] ....
What I need to accomplish is to extract the string that is between the third and fifth '-' (dash) and insert it into the StoreNumberParsed while eliminating the fourth dash.
Sample output would be:
KY117
CA132
OH174
MD163
FL191
I know that parse, charindex, patindex all might come in play, but not sure how to construct the statement.
