I recieved a SQL Server table that was supposed to have just the firstname in a field, but actually has firstname and middle name.
Example David Michael
Carol Anne
Is there a way in a query to look for the blank space and separate the names?
I receive a file that will have hyphens between data items such as 123-aed-edr-45r-ui9 1-ed3-45r-rrr-98u I need to split the values to load into a table that will hold the 5 separate data itens. The fields will always have the hyphens but could be different lengths. Any idea on a best approach to split this in tsql
I've a DateTime field in a table and I want to separate it into two fields in an SQL Server 2005 view one for Date and the other for Time so What is the function I can use to do this process?
Good morning.I am importing an XLS file into one of my tables. The fields are:Date Id Time IO12/22/2006 2 12:48:45 PM 912/22/2006 16 5:40:55 AM 112/22/2006 16 12:03:59 PM 2When I do the import, I get the following:Date Id Time IO12/22/2006 12:00:00AM 2 12/30/1899 12:48:45 PM 212/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 5:40:55 AM 112/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 12:03:59 PM 2Here are my doubts:1. Would it be better to combine the Date & Time fields into onecolumn? If so, how?2. What issues or problems might I have when I program SQL reports, ifI leave the fields as they are?Any comments or suggestions will be very much welcomed.Cheers mates.

Hey gang, I've got a query and I'm really not sure how to get what I need. I've got a unix datasource that I've setup a linked server for on my SQL database so I'm using Select * From OpenQuery(DataSource, 'Query') I am able to select all of the records from the first two tables that I need. The problem I'm having is the last step. I need a field in the select statement that is going to be a simple yes or no based off of if a customer number is present in a different table. The table that I need to look into can have up to 99 instances of the customer number. It's a "Note" table that stores a string, the customer number and the sequence number of the note. Obviously I don't want to do a straight join and query because I don't want to get 99 duplicates records in the query I'm already pulling. Here's my current Query this works fine: Select *From OpenQuery(UnixData, 'Select CPAREC.CustomerNo, CPBASC_All.CustorCompName, CPAREC.DateAdded, CPAREC.Terms, CPAREC.CreditLimit, CPAREC.PowerNum From CPAREC Inner Join CPBASC_All on CPAREC.CustomerNo = CPBASC_All.CustomerNo Where DateAdded >= #12/01/07# and DateAdded <= #12/31/07#') What I need to add is one more column to the results of this query that will let me know if the Customer number is found in a "Notes" table. This table has 3 fields CustomerNo, SequenceNo, Note. I don't want to join and select on customer number as the customer number maybe repeated as much as 99 times in the Notes table. I just need to know if a single instance of the customer number was found in that table so I can set a column in my select statement as NotesExist (Yes or No) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! Need help with this one: I have a column with a string composed by several data. After using REPLACE several times, I get something like the data below, which has (in most of cases) a value and a date.
378 9/05
388 9/05
4/05
1/06 606
1/06 646
76 5/05
100 1/05
118 8/05
129 8/05
9/05 342
05/3 123
1/07
4/06 164 The problem is that I need to get each value alone (to separate columns), in example: Value Date 378 09/2005 388 09/2005 0 04/2005 ... 606 01/2006
and so on... In addittion you can see that sometimes the Value come first or alone, and sometimes the Date come first or alone.
I will appreciate any good ideas, Thanks in advance, Aldo.
I am trying to add 2 separate columns from separate tables i.e column1 should be added to column 2 when inserted and I want to use a trigger but i don't know the syntax to use...
I have a data grid with dropdownlist.the dropdownlist is populated with datas wth a sql statement with 2 combined datamy sql : SELECT NAME + CAST(ID as CHAR(10)) FROM TABLE1When i select a value from the dropdownlist, i need to separate the data, name and id into different columnshow do i do it?Is there a way to manipulate the sql to do such a thing?
Hello there,How can i take data out of my database, put them into a textbox and then separate with a comma..An example:----------------------------------| column Email || mail1@email.com || mail2@email.com || mail3@email.com |----------------------------------Put them into a textbox and separate with a , (comma)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| mail1@email.com, mail2@email.com, mail3@email.com |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Anybody who know how I can do that? :S
On the time of installation SQL Server asking me where I wont to locate the DATA files and the PROGRAM files. It’s giving to me choice to put database AND log files on one disk and program files on separate. But what about to separate LOG and DATA files. I have RAID1 especially created on F: drive for LOG files and RAID 5 on E: for DATABASE files. When I have to separate that if not on the time of installation? How I can do that?
Ok, I have three tables worth of data. They basically hold data that is keyed into a system for potential clients and include stuff like names, weights, classes of weight, addresses etc.
The main table that holds data on a record by record basis is set up like this:
This table contains the batches (or collections of the data above). Basically a collection of bills is called a batch, so if a batch has 18 bills in it, those 18 bills are keyed and assigned the prospect_batch_id above.
This is the table that contains the various weights and classes for the individual records in the first table (tbl_prospect):
Tbl_prospect_clwt Prospect_clwt_id (pk, unique) Prospect_id(unique) Class weight
Generally without worrying about the multiple classes and weights it's easy to just join all three tables and pull the fields I need, but now that I have to get multiple classes and weights I have no clue how to actually grab them and delimit them with a comma.
I think I'm only going to be working on tbl_prospect and tbl_prospect_clwt, and if I put a filter in place for the prospect_batch_id I can see the individual record in tbl_prospect as well as the multiple classes and weights in the clwt table, as seen here:
So record 18 of that batch is comprised of two shipments, one that is class 100/weight 1623 and one that is class 70/weight 438, just not sure how to actually grab both of those for each record and delimit them.
I have a table which has fields called defid, datavalue, pid etc. I have to create a new table which should have fields: CustID, datavalue[SocSec]{note:this is the value in d.datavalue when defid is 1004), datavalue[FirstName]{note: this is the value in d.datavalue when defid is 1006}, datavalue[LastName]{note: this is the value in d.datavalue when defid is 1007}, [FullName] {note: this is the value I should get by joining the datavalues (lastname and firstname) when defifis 1006 and 1007) ie. ex: FirstNameLastName.
COULD ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS. DATA QUERY is as follows: Thank you in advance.
SELECT DISTINCT c.CustID, d.datavalue, f.name FROM dbo.Customers c INNER JOIN dbo.Date7 d ON d.pid = c.root INNER JOIN dbo.fielddisc f ON f.defid = d.defid WHERE c.separatedate BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate AND c.DateTab = 7 AND d.defid IN (1004, 1006, 1007, 1009) AND c.CustID = 10 AND c.root = 8472 ORDER BY c.root
This is probably for most of you a very basic question. My goal is to define in a seperate instance from application all infos related to DataSets and DataAdapters that are needed when connecting to a specific database. Why?
First, I would like to be able to have in a single instance everything needed when hooking to a SQL Server Express database and in an other everything needed when hooking to a SQL Server CE database. Then, from application, I would like to be able following a few basic configuration steps to choose from one or the other, or even both in specific cases.
Second, I want to be able to seperate Database related stuff from application so that I can re-use everything from any other application when needed.
I've read several books, articles on the subject and would like to have your opinion as several approaches were illustrated through them. What would you use for this:
hi alli have a web application on a web server.and another windows application on another computer.there are databases on each of them.how can i send and receive data between these two applications?please reply me as soon as possibleregards
I'm getting ready to install SQL Server 2005 Enterprise for the first time and I have a question about the directory location of the log files and the data files. I have 3 RAID arrays on my server, 1 for the OS, 1 for SQL Logs, and 1 for SQL Data.
Here's my issue. I want to install the logs on the Log array and the SQL data on the SQL data array, however, during the installation I can't find anything that allows me to select certain directories!
Request is to merge or join or case stmt or union or... from up to four unique columns all in separate tables to new combined table (matrix) of results from said.
I am writing a stored procedure to prepare some reports.
The issue is that I am summing up the combined bid, 'QuoteTotal' + Sum(InvoiceItemAmount) (eg, quote add ons).
When part of the larger query it returns a different, and incorrect amount. The query listed after the main query is just that line and it's appropriate parts and it returns the correct amount. What can I do to correct this and where lies the problem so I can learn from this situation?
alter PROCEDURE [dbo].[Select_Quote_Info_By_Salesmen_By_Status] @Salesmen nvarchar(50), @QuoteStatus nvarchar(50) AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;
I am using Reporting Services in the following way. The application implements a three tier Architecture viz Web Server, Application Server and Database Server. Reporting Services 2005 is installed on the Database Server.
The application uses ReportViewer Control which is part of an ASPX page deployed on the Web Server. For ReportViewer Control to fetch data from Reporting Services using RS API, we have to set ReportServerUrl and Report Path. In this scenario, the web server cannot communicate to the database server directly. The web server is in the DMZ and it can only communicate with the Application Server which is in a separate Network.
How can I use Report Viewer Control to fetch data from Reporting Services which is on the Database Server.
I have 1 table that is just a list of feeds. A, B, C, D etc (15 rows in total) and each feed has other information attached to it such as Full name, location etc etc. I am only interested in the Feed column.
Each feed then has a corresponding data table which contains a list of records. Eg Feed A data is contained in TableA, Feed B data is contains in TableB and so on.
Basically what I need is a combined table that shows the list of Feeds in the 1st Column ( So A, B, C, D…..) and then a second column which counts the records from each separate data table corresponding to that feed.
So the end result would look something like this:
Feed------No of Records A----------4 (from TableA) B----------7 (from TableB) C----------8 (from TableC) D----------1 (from TableD)
If you see below there are 2 customer names on 1 loan, most of them share the same lastname and address, I want to separate it with fields,LoanID, customer 1 Firstname, Customer 1 Lastname, Customer 2 FirstName, Customer 2 Lastname, Adddress,zip
LEFT JOIN Status As S on S.LoanID = L.LoanID LEFT JOIN Borrower B on B.LoanID = L.LoanID LEFT JOIN MailingAddress MA on MA.LoanID = L.LoanID where S.PrimStat = '1' and B.Deceased = '0'
Currently we have one customer database containing various tables. As part of requirements for a new client, we need to manage their data in a totally separate database. The tables and structure are exactly the same but we would be loading data into a separate database.
I am looking for a way to combine tables with the same name in each database when I run queries, rather than having to query each database separately. Currently we actually have many queries set up in MS Access which use an ODBC link to query the data off SQL server. I am aware it is possible to apply a UNION SELECT in Access from 2 separate ODBC connections, but this is extremely slow.So my initial question is - is there a way to provide access to the tables from both databases over the same ODBC link? If this cannot be done over ODBC I guess we can consider more "modern" methods, but ideally we want to keep this in MS Access as that is where our existing queries are based. I was hoping that some kind of view can be treated as an ODBC connection.I mentioned ideally we want to keep the reporting queries in MS Access.
I€™ve created with the help of some great people an SSIS 2005 package which does the follow so far:
1) Takes an incoming txt file. Example txt file: http://www.webfound.net/split.txt
The txt file going from top to bottom is sort of grouped like this Header Row (designated by €˜HD€™) Corresponding Detail Rows for the Header Row €¦.. Next Header Row Corresponding Detail Rows
€¦and so on
http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg
2) Header Rows are split into one table, Maintenance Detail Rows into another, and Payment Detail Rows into a third table. A uniqueID has been created for each header and it€™s related detail rows to form a PK/FK relationship as there was non prior to the import, only the relation was in order of header / related rows below it when we first started. The reason I split this out is so I can massage it later with stored proc filters, whatever€¦
Now I€™m trying to somehow bring back the data in those table together like it was initially using a query so that I can cut out each of the Header / Detail Row sections into their own txt file. So, if you look at the original txt file, each new header and it€™s related detail rows (example of a cut piece would be http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg) need to be cut out and put into their own separate txt file.
This is where I€™m stuck. How to create a query to combine it all back into an OLE DB Souce component, then somehow read that souce and split out the sections into their own individual txt files.
The filenames of the txt files will vary and be based on one of the column values already in the header table.
We are running SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition (64-Bit) on Windows 2012 R2 Standard (64-Bit).
1. When to create indexes, before or after data is added? Please address Clustered and Non-Clustered Indexes.
2. To move indexes to it's own filegroup, is it best to create the NON-Clustered Indexes on the separate filegroup with code similar to the example below?
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_Employee_OrganizationLevel_OrganizationNode ON HumanResources.Employee (OrganizationLevel, OrganizationNode) WITH (DROP_EXISTING = ON) ON TransactionsFG1; GO
I have read the following links that states that if you create the Clustered Index on a separate filegroup, it would also move the base table to that particular filegroup. (So I take it that you ONLY can move NON-CLustered Indexes to a separate filegroup.)
Placing Indexes on Filegroups:
[URL]
By default, indexes are stored in the same filegroup as the base table on which the index is created. A nonpartitioned clustered index and the base table always reside in the same filegroup. However, you can do the following:
• Create nonclustered indexes on a filegroup other than the filegroup of the base table.
Move an Existing Index to a Different Filegroup:
[URL]
Limitations and Restrictions
• If a table has a clustered index, moving the clustered index to a new filegroup moves the table to that filegroup.
• You cannot move indexes created using a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint using Management Studio. To move these indexes use the CREATE INDEX statement with the (DROP_EXISTING=ON) option in Transact-SQL.
And i want to use SSIS package dynamically load data from database into three separate flat file, each table into each file.
I know i got to use for each loop task ADO.Net schema row set enumerator, with OLEDB connection manager, select table name or view name variable from access mode list, but the problem comes, as table name is dynamic then flat file connection is also dynamic, i am using visual studio 2013...
I'm using DTS to import data from an Access memo field into a SQL Server ntext field. DTS is only importing the first 255 characters of the memo field and truncating the rest.I'd appreciate any insights into what may be causing this problem, and what I can do about it.Thanks in advance for any help!
