Special Character In Dynamic TSQL
Oct 8, 2007
Hello all
I am trying to update a colunm with the value (Dynamically).
'UPDATE ' + @TABLE + ' SET '+ @FIELD + ' = '''+ @VALUE +'''
well It works fine until @Value contains quotation for instance @value = O'hare Airport
results in termination of the statement because of single quote after O in O'Hare. Is there any way I can see it works
Also suppose if its updating a field which can be say 10 charcters long and when @value has say 15 characters, it terminates. Is there anyway i can avoid this.

I had to update pricelist at local-db on the basis of prices in another SQL by matching the description. When i JOIN the tables, no record gets displayed, but the descrptions at both tables were exactly the same i believed. Took a lot of time in identifying the discrepancy; the data was like this:
CREATE TABLE #ABC (price money, DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(200))
GO
INSERT #ABC SELECT 19999,'SQL2000
'
GO
SELECT * FROM #ABC WHERE DESCRIPTION ='SQL2000'
--(0 row(s) affected)
SELECT * FROM #ABC WHERE LTRIM(RTRIM(DESCRIPTION))='SQL2000'
--(0 row(s) affected)
select * from #ABC WHERE REPLACE(DESCRIPTION,'
','')='SQL2000'
--(1 row(s) affected)
GO
DROP TABLE #ABC
:rolleyes: I believe, ENTER has some value within a field.

I'm trying to remove the special character ÿ from a varchar
select replace(my_col,'ÿ',' ')
this works, but the problem is that it also seems to replace the 'normal' y
(Database is case sensitive)
Why is that?

Hi,
I am using MSSQL 2005 with the compatability mode set to 2000.Now, one of my String columns in a table has data in the following format:
ABC[123][XYZ]
Now issuing the following SELECT query in the table does not work :
Select * from TAB1 where col1 like 'ABC[%'
ie, no row gets selected.However, the following query works:
Select * from TAB1 where col1 like 'ABC%'
Looks like '[' is a special character :( Now, how do i work around this so that i can select strings starting with "ABC[".Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,SQL env: sql server 2000Target column of insertion: varchar(15)Case, a var is made up of a character of the following characters(random selection):A,B,C,D,E,$,!,%,^,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U, V,W,X,Y,Z,&,*,(,)and a few numbers (random selection), and thenvar = ran1&ran2I'm experiencing intermit sql errorIs it because I did not include the string with quotes likevar = "ran1 & ran2"or the first random seletion may include special character and thatmay cause insertion error randomly?Probably the former is more likely. And I've added quotes for thevar (programming language shouldn't really matter, int type usuallywithout quotes while strings need quotes).What's your thought?Thanks.

I would like to know how can i only get the characters before the special character?
For example if the mail id is The.Champ123@gmail.com i need to extract The.Champ123 and if the mail id is TheChamp@gmail.com I need to get TheChamp.So basically i would like to get the characters from the string before '@' character.

I am creating a view to pull data for a UPS integration I am doing. I currently have this view where I pull my data from. All is well accept for my PATINDEX,
Currently I have this PATINDEX So when a user puts this into delivery instructions "#999999" UPS_FINAL returns 999999 which is good for me to use. But The PATINDEX will also grab all kinds of neat stuff out of the delivery instructions field when I really only want whatever is after the # sign in the field.
I am new to sql and dont quite understand how this search is working but I think I am in need of a better way to search the field
Code:
WHEN SUBSTRING(P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions, PATINDEX('%[^a-z ]%', P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions) + 1, 6) IS NULL
THEN dbo.Address_Table.ups_code
ELSE SUBSTRING(P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions,
PATINDEX('%[^a-z ]%', P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.delivery_instructions) + 1, 6) END AS UPS_FINAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I am looking to accomplish is a SUBSTRING that will search delivery_instructions
Code:
SELECT
TOP (100) PERCENT P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_pick_ticket.pick_ticket_no,
P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.order_no, P21PLAY.dbo.p21_view_oe_hdr.customer_id,

I have an database that is housing a path used to locate an external file. This application was written many years ago and I am now trying to bring the files into the database as a VARBINARY.
The table is holding the path like this "/folder/folder/file"
I am trying to convert that path to "folderfolderfile"
In my Select statement I have
SELECT ProdID, REPLACE (PATH, /, ) FROM dbo.blahblah
The problem is that I can't figure out to make SQL understand that "/" is the character I want to replace.

There is a ">" character (right-angle bracket) inside my SQL Server password. When I supplied this password to the bcp utility, the ">" character was treated as an output redirection symbol. So the password was truncated at ">" and the bcp output got sent to a file with a name consisting of the rest of the password after ">". I'm using SQL Server 2012. I cannot use Windows authentication due to company policy. Is there a way to resolve this without changing the password?

I had to import some FileMaker Data into SQL Server 2005 and in the resume field a "SQUARE" special character is appearing everyplace that a return should be.
It has really messed up the formatting. I know how to use the updatetext in a cursor to replace the special character but I don't know what to replace the "SQUARE" special character with so the text is displaying a new line rather then this "SQUARE" character.
Any help would be appreicated.

I have a gazillion text files, each with dozens of records. The fields are pipe-delimited, the end of each record is marked by ASCII char code 28.
example:
05|11900307|1|CO|Gervais|Neil|NG8880|F|540|0|0|0|T|0|||F|||F 05|11900307|2|AO|MARSHALL|BRAD|BM7843|F|510|60|0|0|T|0|||F|||F
The " " is the Chr(28). The line above should parse into 2 rows...
**** time passes ****
An interesting discovery - if I paste that " " directly into the row delimiter box, without quotes or brackets, I get two records!
So I found at least one answer.
Is there another?
TIA

Hi,
I would like to know how to import in the custom delimited text file by using SSIS.
For example, instead by using tab or comma delimited, I use this character : '¶'
The reason is the delimited format that SSIS provided is too common such as colon, semi colon, tab, comma and pipeline.
I have the data that the user also key in the pipeline there. So I am thinking to separate the field by using this special character, but cannot see if there is anyway to import in by using SSIS.
Please help to share the solution on this :
A¶B¶C
1¶2¶3
thanks
best regards,
Tanipar

Hi,
in SSIS I read data from a DB2 database on AS400 using the Client Access ODBC Driver for DB2 from IBM and write it to a SQL Server database. Since it does not work using the odbc driver as data source directly, I use a data reader component with .net providersodbc.
Some special characters were not translated correctly when read from DB2. They show up as ? in the SQL Server target table.
I tried to change the client locale in the ODBC connection properties but it did not help me. I tried changing all other settings in odbc but it still does not work.
In dts I could source all the data without this problems and good speed using the same nodbc driver.
The OLEDB Providers delivered with SSIS do not work in SSIS or I am too stupid to configure them correctly. They are even too slow as I explained above.
I cannot use the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2, because it works only in Enterprize Edition and we only have the Standard Edition.
Thus, only using Client Access ODBC Driver for DB2 with net providersodbc (as bridge) is performant enough and works on Itanium. But how to work around the problem with the special characters?
Best regards,
Stefoon

I need to find all uses of special characters in a database. I used the following code to do this:
USE dbName
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#Results') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Results
GO
[code]...
This will check all tables in the database, but if you want to check specific tables you can uncomment the line in the where clause and specify tables to be checked. The query will return any text fields that have any characters other than letters, numbers or spaces.
This code works fine for me because all the tables in my database have single column primary keys. However I know how much Jeff Moden hates cursors or RBAR queries, so my question is could this have been done by any method other than using a cursor?

Here is the sample query:
DECLARE @TABLENAME NVARCHAR(50);
DECLARE @COL NVARCHAR(50);
DECLARE @VALUE NVARCHAR(50);
/*** THESE VARIABLES WERE ARE BEING DYNAMICALLY FEEDED THROUGH CURSOR***/
DECLARE @SQL1 NVARCHAR(1000);
SET SQL1 = 'SELECT * FROM' + @TABLENAME + ' WHERE' + @ COL + '=" + @VALUE
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL1
Now when I execute this SP it gives me error invalid colunm name. I figure out that its because of the variable @VALUE. Eventually I found out that I need to single quote the value of this dynamically feeded variable @ VALUE
is there any way I can do this; give quotes to @value like @ COL + '=" + ' @VALUE'

DECLARE @KeyName NVARCHAR(50);
SET @KeyName = (SELECT LEFT(@ENTITY, (SELECT CHARINDEX( 'DIM', @ENTITY) -1)) )+ 'Key'
DECLARE @KeyValue INT
DECLARE @SQL1 NVARCHAR (1000)
SET @SQL1 = ' SET @KeyValueOUT = Select '+ @KeyName + ' FROM ClaimManagementFact WHERE ClaimKey = ' + @KEYID +

EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL1, @KeyValueOUT INT OUTPUT;

Hello all:
Here is a sample query:
DECLARE @KEYID NVARCHAR (50) ; SET @KEYID = '1074958'
DECLARE @ENTITY NVARCHAR (100); SET @ENTITY = 'HouseDimension'
DECLARE @KeyCol NVARCHAR(50);
SET @KeyCol = (SELECT LEFT(@ENTITY, (SELECT CHARINDEX( 'DIM', @ENTITY) -1)) )+ 'Key'
DECLARE @KeyValue NVARCHAR (1000)
SET @KeyValue = 'SELECT '+ @KeyCol + ' FROM HouseManagementFact WHERE HouseKey = ' + @KEYID +
' GROUP BY ' + @KeyCol + ' HAVING SUM(TotalClaimCount) > 0 OR SUM(HouseCount) > 0 '
The value resulting from Executing @KeyValue is an integer.
I want to store this value in a new variable say @VAR2
When I do this
DECLARE @VAR2 INT
SET @VAR2 = execute sp_executesql @KeyValue
its giving me an error.
can somebody let me know the correct form of storing the value resulting from @KeyValue in some variable ?
