Is it possible to replace while loop by CTE?
I will fetch records from table 1 based on tretmentid.
get the count of records
run the while loop
inside loop I will compare the column values with the same table(table 1) for different tretmentid.
if any one row matches will come out from loop and send status .
can it be replaced by CTE ?
I have the below table :
IDName Date_StartDate_End Time_StartTime_End
9xxxxx@gmail.com 13/06/2015NULL 23:00.0 NULL
10xxxxx@gmail.com NULL 14/06/2015 NULL 00:00.0
11xxxxx@gmail.com 15/06/2015NULL 00:00.0 NULL
12xxxxx@gmail.com NULL 15/06/2015 NULL 00:00.0
13xxxxx@gmail.com 14/06/2015NULL 00:00.0 NULL
14xxxxx@gmail.com NULL 14/06/2015 NULL 00:00.0
Then i need to replace second row with value with first row with null and so on :
IDName Date_StartDate_End Time_StartTime_End
9xxxxx@gmail.com 13/06/201514/06/2015 23:00.0 00:00.0
10xxxxx@gmail.com NULL NULL NULL NULL
11xxxxx@gmail.com 15/06/201515/06/2015 00:00.0 00:00.0
12xxxxx@gmail.com NULL NULL NULL NULL
13xxxxx@gmail.com 14/06/201514/06/2015 00:00.0 00:00.0
14xxxxx@gmail.com NULL NULL NULL NULL
I have a query with huge number of case statements. Basically I need to short this query with getting rid of these hundreds of CASE statements.
Because of the nature of the application I am not allowed to use a function, and just wondering if there is a possible way to rewrite this with COALESCE().
SELECT
CASE WHEN A.[COL_1] LIKE '%cricket%' THEN 'ck' + ',' ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN A.[COL_1] LIKE '%soccer%' THEN 'sc' + ',' ELSE '' END +
....
CASE WHEN A.[RESIUTIL_DESC] LIKE '%base%ball' THEN 'BB' + ',' ELSE '' END
FROM TableName A
How would I loop through the rows of a dataset, then replace certain character in a certain column?
I have a database which has a date field formatted 23/08/2007, I wish to loop through the dataset containing the results from the dataset, change the format of the date to 23.08.2007 then store the value back into the dataSet, which is called 'dataSet', and the table is called 'News'.
Using C# by the way.
Thanks in advance
I’ve created a script which will do the following.
Update fields in a database which contain instances of an order number. An order number is defined as a 10 digit numeric sting which beings with 998. The first 3 digits of the order number need to change from 998 to 999. There are two types of fields to update: document number fields which may contain 1 instance of the order number and free text fields which may contain multiple instances of an order number.
I created a function which accepts the text to be updated, the text to find and the text to replace it with. The function then loops through the sting for instances of 998. For each instance it finds it checks to ensure that it is at the start of a 10 digit string which contains only numeric numbers – if this is the case then it will update the 998 to be 999.
If the field is free text then it will continue to loop through the string (it will skip forward 10 digits for every order number found) until the end. If the field is not free text then it will exit the script after the first instance found which matches the above criteria, if any.
Need achieving this via set processing and not having to loop through every line. I’ve included the function below and some test data.
--Create the function we will call in order to do the replace
if object_id(N'OrderReplace',N'FN') is not null
drop function dbo.OrderReplace;
go
create function dbo.OrderReplace (
@Textnvarchar(4000),

select replace(replace(replace(DEFINITION,'CREATE PROCEDURE','Alter Procedure'), 'create proc','Alter Procedure'),'create view','Alter View') FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESto but it is checking fixed space like create<space>proc, how can i check if there are two or more spaces in between create view or create proc or create function, it should replace as i want?

I am trying to run a UNION ALL query in SQL SERVER 2014 on multiple large CSV files - the result of which i want to get into a table in SQL Server. below is the query which works in MSAccess but not on SQL Server 2014:
SELECT * INTO tbl_ALLCOMBINED FROM OPENROWSET
(
'Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0' , 'Text;Database=D:DownloadsCSV;HDR=YES',
'SELECT t.*, (substring(t.[week],3,4))*1 as iYEAR,
''SPAIN'' as [sCOUNTRY], ''EURO'' as [sCHAR],
[Code] ....
What i need is:
1] to create the resultant tbl_ALLCOMBINED table
2] transform this table using PIVOT command with following transformation as shown below:
PAGEFIELD: set on Level = 'Item'
COLUMNFIELD: Sale_Week (showing 1 to 52 numbers for columns)
ROWFIELD: sCOUNTRY, sCHAR, CATEGORY, MANUFACTURER, BRAND, DESCRIPTION, EAN (in this order)
DATAFIELD: 'Sale Value with Innovation'
3] Can the transformed form show columnfields >255 columns i.e. if i want to show all KPI values in datafield?
P.S: the CSV's contain the same number of columns and datatype but the columns are >100, so i dont think it will be feasible to use a stored proc to create a table specifying that number of columns.
difference between FOR LOOP and FOREACH LOOP with example(if possible) in SSIS.

I'm moving some queries out of an Access front end and creating views out ofthem in SQL Server 2005 express. In some of the numeric fields, I use nzquite often, ( i.e. nz([MyField],0)) to return a zero if the field is null.Is there anything equivalent to this in SQL Server? Right now I'm usingCASE WHEN ... but it seems like an awful lot of script to write just toreplace null with a zero.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
View 16 Replies View RelatedI want to replace my Windows 2000 SQL Server 2000 with a new beefier machine. And I really don't want to change all the setups on the users PCs to point to this new machine. So, I want the new machine to have the same name as the old machine. I think that Windows actually uses SIDs and not the name so I'm wondering what problems I may cause by just naming the new machine the same as the old and replacing?
My guess is that this is done everyday. Does anyone know where I can find information on how to do this safely?

I found a search-and-replace program for SQL server that works GREAT, but I have a list of about 200 words to search for, with corresponding replacements. Rather than editing the code below for *each* word and running it 200 separate times, I'd like to iterate through the list, but my MS-SQL programming skills are...light (to say the least). Anyone have any ideas how I can create a list or hash-type variable and use the code to loop through and do the replacements all at once?

I have a foreach loop that is supposed to loop through a recordset, however it doesn't loop. It just repeats the same row, row after row.
I would like to look into the recordset variable but I can't because it is a COM object and the ADODB namespace is not available in the script task.
Any solution to this? anyone experienced anything similar
I have a table called Tbltimes in an access database that consists of the following fields:
empnum, empname, Tin, Tout, Thrs
what I would like to do is populate a grid view the a select statement that does the following.
display each empname and empnum in a gridview returning only unique values. this part is easy enough. in addition to these values i would also like to count up all the Thrs for each empname and display that sum in the gridview as well. Below is a little better picture of what I€™m trying to accomplish.
Tbltimes

I have a separate list of calendar years with radiocarbon year equivalents in SQL server but no conversion equation. Most but not all of the data I have is in radiocarbon years. I thought at first I could just link the tables but I don't want the data that is already in calendar years to be linked to this conversion table. Is there any way I can either link the two tables with criteria for which data is linked (Only ages that are in radiocarbon years). Or possibly a way to query all ages that are in radiocarbon years and do something similar to a find and replace with a large list of numbers to change?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy existing SQL server is an old box that can no longer cope with the load. I need to replace it with a brand new box.
I am looking for a comprehensive set of steps that I could follow to ensure that the transition to the new server goes well.
I'm looking to transfer all my user databases but I'm not so sure whether I have to backup and restore my system databases to the new server as well.
I want to name the new server the same as the old server since I will be taking the old server out of production but I'm not sure whether I should rename the server AFTER I move over all the database and how that would affect SQL. Or should I first rename the old server, remove it out of the domain, then name my new server with the same name as my old server, and then proceed with the SQL installation and the moving of the databases.
Also, I do have a maintenance plan, DTS packages and some jobs set up on my old server that I would also like to move to the new server.
Is there a web page that explains all the steps in granular detail ?
hi all,i was using the system tables namely sysindexes and sysobjects in sql server 2000. But now sql server 2005 is using instead of sql server 2000. Since am using sysindexes and sysobjects, too much time is taking for the execution in sql server 2005. So I need to change the query suitable for sql server 2005.I have read in msdn that the system tables are replaced with corresponding catalog views in sql server 2005. The catelog view for sysobjects is sys.objects. plz check the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187997.aspxCould anyone please tell me how to replace the sysindexes and sysobjects in the query without rewriting the query too much. If I can replacesysobjects with just sys.objects, then it will be very helpful. Is it possible? And what about sysindexes. Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated!

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?
