Hi,
I want to search for alphanumeric values between an upper and lower bound in a sql database.
For example: search for a serial number like pvf-456-3b. Upper bound is q, lower bound is g.
I should then get every serial number starting with g - q.
If possible the bounds should be more specific like "search for serial number between gt2 and qy"
Can anybody help me out?
My SQL Server database is not case sensetive.
How can I compare like cluase with search for capital and small letter?
For example
SELECT add1 from xcty_all where add1 like '%AL'%'
I need only
...................
10 ltncewwod way AL
456 Ruio St. AL
NOT
Duci Ral Rd Mexico
Albi Road Hawai CA

In the database, most of our cities are stored in all upper case. For reporting purposes, I need to have them returned as upper/lower. I used the below function, which works great for one word cities. However I can’t figure out how to get it to capitalize the 1st letter of each word, for addresses containing multiple names such as Rancho Santa Margarita.
Upper(left(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY,1))+lower(substring(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY, 2, LEN(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY)))As ADDRESSCITY
This returns back: ‘Rancho santa margarita’; I need it to return ‘Rancho Santa Margarita’. Is this possible to do at the query level?
Hi
I can't create unique index like that:
1 - create table abc ( colZ varchar(10) )
2 - insert into abc values ( "test")
3 - insert into abc values ("Test")
4 - create unique index idx_abc on abc ( colZ ) -- This doesnt work
.... duplicate key was found for object name abc......
Is not there difference between "Test" and "test"?
Can I work around this?
cheers,
I'm still haven't resolved the issue with displaying information from a SQL database. The text I'm displaying is in ALL CAPS in the SQL database, and I'm trying to convert it so that when I display it in gridview, The First Letter Of Each Word Is Capitalized, as apposed to ALL CAPS. I've tried the text-transform feature of CSS, but I noticed in a SQL book there are LOWER() & UPPER() string functions. The ideal thing to do then, would be to do some select statement that converts all the incoming text to lowercase, then use the CSS text-transform: capitalize , to convert the first letter of each word to caps. Basically, I need a select statement or something that converts my sql material to lowercase. Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several tables in a deployed database in which the primary key is of type int, and autoincrements by 1 each time a record is added. My question is, since ints are 32-bit, what happens when its value reaches 4,294,967,296? I know that seems like an extrememly large amount of records, but when we imported the data into the database it started at key value 1,000,000. I don't know how to make it use lower numbers which are currently not being used (numbers below 1,000,000), and I am worried I will have problems when I reach the upper bound. What kind of problems could this cause? Should I change the primary key's type?Thanks!

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2000. In database i am having one column named Address which contains full address of the customer. While searching i want to ignore starting numeric or alphanumeric values. Kinly guide how I can ignore numeric or alphanumeric values while searching the data.
Is it possible to write a sql statement to skip aplpha numeric values? I got a field containing these values; 20, 70, 150, 140, 100, KORT, 90, 180, 160. And I'm trying to check if any value is bigger than 175 (@Limit), but I want to skip the value 'KORT'. So is it possible to check if a value is numeric or not? ISNULL( CONVERT(int, ProductVariant.Size), 0) > @Limit Regards, Sigurd
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All ,
I am having a table which contain data in below form
id startvalue endvalue
1 12:00a 12:29a
2 12:30a 12:59a
3 1:00a 1:29a
4 1:00p 1:29p
5 2:00a 2:29a
Through SQL query I want to select the id column value for the row returned for the following query
select id from mytable where '1:24a' >= startvalue and '1:24a' <= endvalue
Idea is I will pass a literal value that lies between the startvalue (nvarchar column) and endvalue (nvarchar column) to fetch the id of the row returned, which should be 3 But when I run the query it returns me 2 rows for id 3 and 4.
I believe this is because I am trying to compare nvarchar columns with ">=" and "<=" operators.
Can anyone suggest how i can select the correct value or how to do this.
Thanks,
Ashish
For a new project. I need to create random alphanumeric characters as primary key values when inserting a record.
eg: cmSbXsFE3l8
It can start from 4 digit characters and can grow to 6, 7 as required
The database will involve more than 10000 concurrent users.
I don't want to use guid or auto increment integer or sequence.
I have a checkbox on my webform that is bound to a bit field in my SQL table. I'm fine as long as I've got the bit field set to 0 or 1, but if the field is NULL, the checkbox throws an exception during the databind.
Is there any way to handle this without removing the data binding and manually setting the value (ie: some way to intercept it before the exception gets thrown and then setting the field value in the dataset)?
Thanks!

I've a table that stores operationcode for each jobnumber. The jobnumber can have multiple operationcode. From the below DDL, I need to show all the jobs that have operation codes as 2001 and 2002. In the below DDL Jobnumber 80011 has both the operation codes 2001 and 2002 so this job will display on the report.
On the other hand Job 80021 only has operationcode 2001 and I do not want this job to show up on the report.
I need to show all the operationcodes for a job if it has operationcode 2001 and 2002.

I need to return row counts for a list of all our users. The problem with the first query is that it doesn’t search for names within the column, it considers a list of email addresses a unique entry. I need to be able to see how many times each email address appears in the database. The second query obviously does that but I don’t want to have to copy and paste 500 usernames. the to_addr_head is a text column if that matters. Thanks!!
SELECT
Table1.to_addr_head,
COUNT(*) AS "COUNT(*)"

I have 2 tables in a SQL Server database:
Table A(Value), which contains some strings in the column "Value"
Table B(Key,Text), which also contains strings (in the column "Text")
Now I want to find all rows in B which contain at least one string of A and create a result table X with all found rows in B. B should contain the found keys and all found substrings for this key (separated with a comma)
The solution I am looking for may not use a Cursor and may not use the CONTAIN-Statement (fulltextsearch feature)..
I want to have a FromDateTextBox and a ToDateTextBox where the user can enter in dates (most likely in mm/dd/yy format, although intelligently handing other formats might be a plus). Then I want to use these dates as the basis for a WHERE clause like:<some sql...> WHERE start_date BETWEEN 'FromDateTextBox.Text' AND 'ToDateTextBox.Text' (Note this WHERE clause will be used as the basis for an SqlDataSource FilterExpression). 1. I believe the date strings need to be in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd' to search SQL server is this correct?2. What's a decent way to convert the strings from the textboxes to the required format?3. How can I avoid an SQL injection attack?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI tried to find a forum for "tools" with SQL Server 2008, but couldn't find anything, so hoping this is the right forum for my question.
I have recently installed RedGate SQL Search. Although I can use this tool for a lot of stuff, I mis-understood the details and thought it not only searched database objects, but would search inside individual rows inside tables for a value, but it does not do this.
I have been trying to search for a comparable product. I have found a bunch of stored procedures to do this, but I do not want to create a bunch of stored procedures for all the various databases we have, nor do I have the permission to do this.
Are there any tools like SQL Search that integrate (not a requirement, but definitely a nice bonus) with SSMS and will search the tables for a value in any given row, listing the table and column (it would be nice to list the entire row, but not required as with table and column, I can do a search for the row) for the given value?
I have found this product: [URL] ...., but I do not have any information on the company to know if they are reputable.
Hi there,
I have a problem with multi-value parameter in ReportingServices2005, hope to find a solution here.
if I use ordinary parameter in a report(multi-value checkbox is not selected), after deployment I can click on drop down list and type possible value of that parameter using keyboard(it will be selected from what i typed).
if I use multi-value parameter somewhy it doesn't respond to anything i type from my keyboard.
Why is that?
What should i do to make that multi-value parameter select possible result from what i type?
I thought this would be quite simple but can't find the correct syntax:ALTER Procedure usp_Product_Search_Artist_ProductTitle
(@ProductTitle varchar(255))
AS
SELECT ProductTitle
FROM tbl_Product
WHERE CONTAINS(dbo.tbl_Product.ProductTitle, @ProductTitle)
My problem is that if I pass "LCD Flat Screen" as teh @ProductTitle parameter the query falls over as it contains spaces. Guess i'm looking for something like: WHERE CONTAINS(dbo.tbl_Product.ProductTitle, '"' + @ProductTitle + "'")Thanks in advance.R
I want to write a statement something like this
SELECT Add_Date, File_No FROM dbo.File_Storage WHERE (File_No = 11/11/1234/)
But i want the search to ignore the first 2 digits so that it will return e.g
10/11/1234, 09/11/1234 so that it's only matching the last part
Any Help Would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Hi I know i can use a LOWER or UPPER function to change the
case of letters, but say i want to change all but the 1st letter
ie i want MARK SMITH to be Mark Smith ... MARK and SMITH
are 2 seperate columns so im assuming something like
select UPPER(first_name,1) ...
I'm just wonder if this is a bug in MS Search or am I doing something wrong.
I have a query below
declare @search_clause varchar(255)
set @Search_Clause = ' "hepatitis b" and "hepatocellular carcinoma"'
select * from results
where contains(finding,@search_clause)
I don't get the correct result at all.
If I change my search_clause to "hepatitis" and "hepatocellular carcinoma -- without the "b"
then i get the correct result.
It seems MS Search doesn't like the phrase contain one letter or some sort or is it a know bug?
Anyone know?
Thanks

Hello,
I have been having a hard time with this issue. I am attempting to join a table onto itself to get the closest date onto a single row.
What i mean is:
I have the following data
id date
1 10/07/08
2 10/06/07
3 10/06/03
4 10/06/03
the new table should have the current id and the one closes to it as so.
1 10/07/08 2 10/06/07
2 10/06/07 3 10/06/03
3 10/06/03 null null
4 10/06/03 null null
but i am getting duplicates do to the 10/06/03.
1 10/07/08 2 10/06/07
2 10/06/07 3 10/06/03
2 10/06/07 4 10/06/03
3 10/06/03 null null
4 10/06/03 null null
i want so that if there is a duplicate i can take the id thats higher. I cant figure it out.
This is my current sql:
SELECT PB.ID,PB.StartDate, PB2.ID, PB2.Startdate
from table PB
left outer join table PB2 on PB.keyID = PB2.keyID
and PB2.StartDate < PB.StartDate
and PB.StartDate = (select top(1) StartDate from table PB3 where PB.keyID = PB3.keyID
and PB2.StartDate < PB3.StartDate order by PB3.StartDate asc)
Thanks for the help.
