Any suggestions?
Reasonable To Assemble FullName W/ A UDF
Mar 1, 2006I break somone's name in a table in fields as First, Last, Middle,Suffix.Is it reasonable to use a UDF to create the full name as a string if Ineed it, by passing it the First, Last, Middle, & Suffix fields?Is this really slow to do? It's just sometimes I want to do a GroupByQuery and I want to include the person's name in the Select of thequery and I don't know if the group by would work if I returned eachcolumn seperately.Any opinions on this?Thanks.

Feb 16, 2005Quick question.
I've got a CHAR (70) field called NAME that has a first and last name separated by a space. I want to split it into two fields FIRST and LAST -- with all the characters to the left of the space a first name and all the characters to the right of the space as last name. I couldn't find a string function that would let me do this simply (it may be right in front of me and I missed it).
Thanks in advance.

To Split Or Not To Split
May 9, 2007I have a database with a "large" table containing date based information Basically they're reservations. I've thought about creating a new table and adding any records from past years to this table. For the most part only current reservation need to be searchable, but in some circumstances it would be useful to be able to search through the archive too. so, my questions!!!
Is 8,000 or so rows of data "large" and unwieldly in SQL terms?
Would splitting this data into 2 tables - one small table for current and future reservations and one larger archive table then using a UNION SELECT query to make archive information seachable be a significant improvment on server resources/load or am I making the whole thing more complicated than it need be as 8,000 rows of data is nothing to worry about.............
What did they say about a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing?
Thanks in advance of any guidance to a neophyte!!?

SPLIT() UDF
Jan 8, 2008SQL UDF split()
The objective of this article is to help the SQL developers with an UDF that can be used within a stored procedures or Function to split a string (based on given delimiter) and extract the required portion of the string.
Scripting languages like VB script and Java script have in-built split() functions but there is no such function available in SQL server. In my experience this function is really handy when you’re working on an ASP application with SQL server as backend, whereby you’ll need to pass the ASP page submitted values to the SQL stored procedure.
To give a simple example, in a typical Monthly reporting ASP page – the users would select a range of months and extract the information pertaining to this date range. Classic implementation of this model is to have an ASP page to accept the input parameters and pass the values to the SQL stored procedure (SP). The SP would return a result set which is then formatted in the ASP page as results.
If the date range is continuous ie. JAN07 to MAR07 then the SP can typically accept a ‘From’ and ‘To’ range variables. But I’ve encountered situations whereby the users select 3 months from the current year and 2 months from previous year (non-continuous date ranges). In such scenario the SP cannot have a date range as input parameters.
Typically an ASP programmer would do is by having a single date input parameter in the SP and call the SP within a loop in the ASP page. This is an inefficient way of programming as contacting the database server within an ASP loop could cause performance overhead especially if the table being queried is an online transaction processing table.
Here is how I handled the above situation.
1.Declared one string input parameter of type varchar(8000) (if you’re using SQL 2005 then it is advisable to use Varchar(Max))
2.Pass the ASP submitted values as string, in this case the months selected by user would be supplied to the SP as a string
3.Within the Stored Procedure I’ll call the split() function to extract each month from the string and query the corresponding data
The basic structure of the stored procedure is as pasted below:-
CREATE PROCEDURE FETCH_SALES_DETAIL (
@MONTH VARCHAR(MAX)
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @MONTH_CNT INT,@MTH DATETIME
SET @MONTH_CNT=1
WHILE DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) <> ''
BEGIN
SET @MTH = CAST(DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) AS DATETIME)
--<<Application specific T-SQLs>>-- (BEGIN)
SELECT [SALES_MONTH],[SALES_QTY],[PRODUCT_ID],[TRANSACTION_DATE]
FROM SALES (NLOCK)
WHERE [SALES_MONTH]= @MTH
--<<Application specific T-SQLs>>--(END)
SET @MONTH_CNT=@MONTH_CNT+1
END
END
Dbo.SPLIT() function takes 3 parameters
1)The main string with the values to be split
2)The delimiter
3)The Nth occurrence of the string to be returned
The functionality of the UDF is as explained STEP by STEP:
1.Function Declaration
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SPLIT]
(
@nstring VARCHAR(MAX),
@deliminator nvarchar(10),
@index int
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)
Function is declared with 3 input parameters:-
@nstring of type VARCHAR(MAX) will hold the main string to be split
@deliminator of type NVARCHAR(10) will hold the delimiter
@index of type INT will hold the index of the string to be returned
2.Variable Declaration
DECLARE @position int
DECLARE @ustr VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @pcnt int
Three variables are needed within the function. @position is an integer variable that will be used to traverse along the main string. @ustr will store the string to be returned and the @pcnt integer variable to check the index of the delimiter.
3.Variable initialization
SET @position = 1
SET @pcnt = 1
SELECT @ustr = ''
Initialize the variables
4.Main functionality
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@nstring) and @pcnt <= @index
BEGIN
IF SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) <> @deliminator BEGIN
IF @pcnt = @index BEGIN
SET @ustr = @ustr + CAST(SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) AS nvarchar)
END
SET @position = @position + 1
END
ELSE BEGIN
SET @position = @position + 1
SET @pcnt = @pcnt + 1
END
END
4.1The main while loop is used to traverse through the main string until the word index is less than or equal to the index passed as input parameter.
4.2Within the while loop each character within the string is verified against the delimiter and if it does not match then local word count variable is checked against the input index parameter
4.3If the values are same ie., the input variable index and the word being processed in the while loop are the same then the word is stored in the @ustr variable. If the values does not match then the @position variable is incremented.
4.4If the character matches with the delimiter then the word count variable @pcnt is incremented along with the @position variable
5.Return the value
RETURN @ustr
I hope this article would benefit those who are looking for a handy function to deal with Strings.

View 1 Replies View RelatedShould I Split The Procedure Or Not???
Mar 21, 2001I have a procedure that is going to be called through asp pages. This procedure carries out instructions depending on whether customers wants to insert, update or delete their portfolios. Rules are as follows: 1. It should not allow duplicate portfolio name to insert. 2. If customer has reached their max limit of 20 portfolio they can't add. They may have to delete or update the existing portfolio first. 3. all the error handling is done and returned as output parameters.
Now coming to the question at present I have one procedure that does all these things. Should I split up the procedure and have three procedures handling the events seperately: 1 Insert 2 Delete 3 update The reason I am concerned is 1 procedure being hit so many times by concurrent users with varying events. I am concerned about performance issue and slowing down of the page. I do not have exact numbers of users at this point. But they would be in thousands or more. Thanks for any suggestions or advice you all might have to share. Hiku

Conditional Split
Oct 24, 2007
Hello Group
Can somebody guide me on the prefered standards of doing this
I have a Colunm in a table having both NULLS and some data
Ex:
Table 1
Col1 Col2
--------------------------
1 MSDN
2 Forum
3 NULL
4 NULL
5 Condition
6 Split
7 NULL
I want to move the data from this tabel to two different table depending upon the value in Col2
Table2
Col1 Col2
--------------------------
1 MSDN
2 Forum
5 Condition
6 Split
Table 3
Col1 Col2
--------------------------
3 NULL
4 NULL
7 NULL
For doing this I used a simple Conditional Split Task after table 1
First Approach
Output Name; Null Data Condition: ISNULL(Col2)
I routed the output Null Data to Table3 and the default to Table2.
Strangely I see some data in Table3 which is not NULL. That is Table 3 is having a data which is not equal to null in Col2.
I have no clue why will it do that.
Second approach
Output Name: Data, Condition: !(ISNULL(Col2))
I routed the output: Data to Table2 and the default to Table3.
Strangely I see some data in Table3 which is not NULL. That is Table 3 is having a data which is not equal to null in Col2.
