hi friends,
I have search in my project based on strings(surname, firstname).. but it does'nt works wen name consists of only two letters.... could somebody please help me on this.
Thanks sandeep
In the below section of code I'm connecing to a SQL database and when I use the "=" in the search it works ok, but when I try to add the ability to use wildcards by changin "=" to "LIKE" its not working
Working code:
Function GetName(ByVal first_Name As String) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='FamilyInfo'"
Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT Names.* FROM Names WHERE (Names.First_Name = @First_Name)"
Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString
dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection
Dim dbParam_first_Name As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_first_Name.ParameterName = "@First_Name"
dbParam_first_Name.Value = first_Name
dbParam_first_Name.DbType = System.Data.DbType.StringFixedLength
dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbParam_first_Name)
Dim dataAdapter As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
dataAdapter.SelectCommand = dbCommand
Dim dataSet As System.Data.DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)
Return dataSet
End Function
Code that I would like to work
Function GetName(ByVal first_Name As String) As System.Data.DataSet
Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='FamilyInfo'"
Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT Names.* FROM Names WHERE (Names.First_Name LIKE '%' + @First_Name '+')"
Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString
dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection
Dim dbParam_first_Name As System.Data.IDataParameter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
dbParam_first_Name.ParameterName = "@First_Name"
dbParam_first_Name.Value = first_Name
dbParam_first_Name.DbType = System.Data.DbType.StringFixedLength
dbCommand.Parameters.Add(dbParam_first_Name)
Dim dataAdapter As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
dataAdapter.SelectCommand = dbCommand
Dim dataSet As System.Data.DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet)
Return dataSet
End Function
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have Sql server 2005 SP2.
I enabled it for Full Text search. Substring search where i enter *word* doesn't return any row.
I have a table testtable where description has word Extinguisher.
If i run a query with *ting* it doesn't return any row.
select * from testtable where contains(description,'"*xting*"') ;
But it works if i do
select * from testtable where contains(description,'"Exting*"') ;
The Full text search document says it supports substring search.
Is it an issue with sql server 2005?Please help.
I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
Example:
DECLARE @StrInput NVARCHAR(2000) = '.NET,Java, Python'
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE titleName = '.NET' AND titleName='java' AND titleName = 'Python'
As shown in the example above I need to take the comma delimited string as input and search each individual string like in the select statement.
Is there way to search for the particular string and return the string after that searched string

Hi
Issue1:
I have a sql 2k machine. I hav enabled full text indexing on this machine. There after, i inserted and updated so many records. When i do a search using the below query:
It gaves me nothing
select *
from table1
where contains
(
col1,'"keyword"'
)
Issue 2: Another issue is when i gives multiple columns in the below query for search, it throws up a syntax error message at (
select *
from table1
where contains
(
(col1,col2,col3),'"keyword"')
)
Do sql 2k does not allow this format of query(above). But, the same is working fine with one column.
Any inputs on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have an old db with streets names and another one with employees. I have to use both tables to check if an employee adress is ok, but I have the following problem:
Employee adress : 47th street nº12 2nd door b
street in db 47th street
The question is how to say to sql that searchs for the employee street in the streets db cause the employee addres is bigger than any streets in db and I have no results with street like '%47th street nº12 2nd door b%' or something like that.
What can I do?
Thanks so much

Was wondering how you do the equivalent of an Oracle "Instr" function in TSQL, which returns the position of a string pattern in a specified string? I've looked through all the functions and can't find the equivalent.
Thanks

Hi,
Is there a T-SQL equivalent of the Oracle "Instr" function, whereby I can retrieve the position of a one specified charactier string within another? I have looked through the list of string functions and can't find an equivalent, which suprises me!
Thanks

For example
I want to search all the people in a database that names mary
I now that the sintax is something that looks like this.
SELECT Id, name
FROM Socios
WHERE (name LIKE '%string%')
But how i input this in the vs2008 query builder for it creates an automatic searchbox toolstrip?
I tried this but it didn't work
FROM Socios
WHERE (name LIKE ?)

The procedure below is for a 3 field wildcard search window.
It works fine if you enter a value such as cheese in @product_name.
If you enter cheese in @product_name1 or @product_name2 it returns nothing.
The string builds OK with values inserted where they should be, obviously there is a problem in the looping back of variable.
I've been looking at this so long I'm sure that the obvious solution is staring me in the face, but I just can't see it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
I have a Database which contains like 1000 Tables.
I am not the designer of that DB.So I need to in which table and which column
that string exists. IS there a DBWIDE String search possible?
Thanks and Regards
I need to search a string starting at the end to find the
last space in the string, so I can determine the position of the last word in
the string.
Any ideas on how to do this are greatly appreciated.

I am not very familiar with MS SQL, and I need to know how to search a table for a string. I know the column that it is in, but I don't know which record. I am looking for a small piece of text in a much larger text field (we are talkinga maybe a 10k char field and I am only looking for about a 15 char string).
How do I do this with a MSSQL query?
Thanks a bunch
Nevermind, i found PATINDEX(). That worked great.
I have access to a database's web front end and a limited amount of access to the server.
I am trying to find out what column a certain string is in.
I can see some text on the front end via the web that a user enters and then submits. This information must go to the back end of the database but I dont know where it goes...
I am able to provide a unique Sequence number that it would be linked with and obviously I have the string that im looking for its column name but other then that I dont know what I can do.
I don't have write access to the database so I am unable to make procedures. I am also not really aware how the front end works or if I would be able to find the script that deals with the text after the user hits "save"...
The 'LIKE' function looks for words that start with whatever is in the like condition. Is there an sql function similar but will look and compare at any part of the search string.
For example I am using a webservice in dot net to populate a dropdown list using this sql
SELECT compound_name FROM dbo.compound_name WHERE compound_name like @prefixText
In this table there is a compound called SILCAP310 and I would like the search function to pick up 310 if I put this into the @prefix parameter. (but I would still like the search to perform like the 'LIKE' does also.
SELECT compound_name FROM dbo.compound_name WHERE compound_name like @prefixText or compound_name SearchPartString @prefixText
Thanks in advance
I have at table that I want to update using another table which contains other values than those in the text column.
table1
id: text:
1 1111, 2222, 3333
2 1234, 2222
3 0123
table2
id: str:
1111 aaaa
2222 bbbb
3333 cccc
1234 qqqq
0123 oooo
I want to replace the text in table1 with the new values so that it looks like below:
table1
id: text:
1 aaaa, bbbb, cccc
2 qqqq, bbbb
3 oooo
My first idea was to split the text column in table1 and insert every new text with its id in a temporary table and then concaternate a new string and update the column.
But how do I manage this?
Hi All,
Please help, it is urgent
I am having a colume as image datatype, in which candidates resume is stored in binary format.
I have to search for particular words for eg. "ASP.Net, 2 Years" into that column
I have converted that column as varchar and then searching above two words(after spliting them by comma) into that string using CHARINDEX
DECLARE @i int, @j int
SET @i = select MIN(ResumeId) from table_name
SET @j = select MAX(ResumeId) from table_name
WHILE (@i <= @j)
BEGIN
DECLARE @Resume varchar(max)
SET @Resume = CAST((select Resume from table_name where ResumeId=100) as varbinary(max))
--code to search the particular word from @Resume
END
It is working fine, but it is very slow, taking 2+ minutes to scan 15000 records
How can I make it faster or is there any other way to search?
Thanks in advance
Hi
Is there any function to seperate a sting (VARCHAR) into two based on a character in the string (e.g. '-').
In short is there "InStr" or "split" type function in T-SQL ? If not what is the alternative?
I have a column called "Range" (VarChar) in the table which has ranges like 1-14 or 15-49 etc.
I need to select records by compare a variable (numeric) against these ranges.
So for instace if the variable has 15 its in range 15-49.
I was thinking of spliting the range field into two so that comparison is possible.
Any suggestions?
thanks
I have the Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite trial version and the SQL Server 2005 trial (which came with team suite) installed in my machine.
When I installed the SQL Server 2005 I installed it in the Windows Authentication mode. So every time I open SQL Server 2005 it doesnt ask for Username/Password (Its greyed out). The only thing available were:
Server Type: Database Engine
ServerName: ServerSue
Authentication: Windows Authentication.
Here is my Problem:
I created a small application in C#. In the web.config file I created the following:
<appSettings>
<add key="resumecon" value="SERVER=ServerSue;database=Resume;"/>
</appSettings>
Then in the Code behind I created the following string:
string strResCon = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["resumecon"].ToString();
Then in method (for a Login page) I created the connection string as follows and wrote code to insert some values into the Resume database. I called this method on a button click event.
SqlConnection conLogin = new SqlConnection(strResCon);
When I run the page and when I click the button I get the following error:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I think some thing is wrong in the addkey of webconfig? How do I change this?
