Spliting Up A String In A Column
Apr 3, 2008Good Morning,
I'm trying to write a scrip to compate two columns in two different tables to each other (billing_payee to Debtor_name)
The problem i have is that the info in the billing_payee column is CLIENT RE DEBTOR INITAL SURN and the infor in Debtor_name column is [i]DEBTOR TITLE NAME SURN[i]
What i need to be able to do is select all from Billing_Payee table where the Billing payee [i]DEBTOR INIAL SURN[i] is not the same as the info in Debtor_name.
I somehow need to split out the inial - first letter of debtor name and surname.
If i can't do it this way i need some other way of comaparing the two.
I am fairly new to t-SQL however have a pretty good grasp of it.
Please let me know if there is anything else i can provide to make this any easier any help is much appreciated!!

Spliting A Recrod Into Two
Feb 14, 2008HI if I have a recrod in a plain text file , and it has some colums information including FromDate and ThruDates if the date range is over 30 days, Then the record should split and becomes 2 records rather then one.
for example:
if i have FromDate 07/01/06 and ThruDate = 08/25/06
than
that single record should be saved as two records
like
Record#1 FromDate ThruDate
1 07/01/06 07/30/06
2 08/31/06 08/25/06
so what should I do to work it out, in the database, what could be the t sql or trigger that I have to use??? help please.
Help In Spliting A Sentence Into Words
Jun 4, 2006Hi,
I have a project in which I have about 20,000 records in sql database table.
What I would like to do is generate a query that lists all the unique words in a particular field acros the entire table so as to generate a glossary of words.
if we had a table that looked like
ID Description
001 This is the first record
002 This is the second record
003 This is not the first record
and the query was run on the description field, then the result I would like to see is
This
is
the
first
second
not
I hope this makes sense. Any help is appreciated.
Spliting Single Row Into Multiple Rows
Sep 20, 2006I have a table that contains many columns in a single row and I'd like to split the table so that it has fewer column values and more rows.
My table structure is:
create table #scoresheet
(Decisions varchar(10), DNumericalValue int, DVI varchar(10), DComments nvarchar(255),
Competence varchar(10), CNumericalValue int, CVI varchar(10), CComments nvarchar(255),
Equipment varchar(10), ENumericalValue int, EVI varchar(10), EComments nvarchar(255));
I would like to have three rows with four columns.
What I've done so far is create a stored procedure that uses a table variable:
create procedure sp_splitsinglerow as
declare @Scoresheet_rows_table_var table (
ReviewArea varchar(25),
NumericalValue int,
VI varchar(10),
Comments nvarchar(255));
insert into @Scoresheet_rows_table_var
(ReviewArea, NumericalValue, VI, Comments)
select Decisions, DNumericalValue, DVI, DComments
from #scoresheet
The trouble with this approach is that I have to explicitly name the columns that I insert into the table variable. What I'd really like to be able to is have a loop construct and select the first 4 columns the first time, the second 4 the next time and the last 4 the third time.
Any ideas on how to achieve that?
BTW, I have resolved this issue by suggesting to the Developers that they change the structure of the original table, but I'd still like to know if there is another solution. :)

Alter Table Add Column - How Do You Add A Column After Say The Second Column
Jul 11, 2007
When you use "Alter Table add Column", it adds the column to the end of the list of fields.
How do you insert the new column to position number 2 for instance given that you may have more than 2 columns?
Create table T1 ( a varchar(20), b varchar(20), c varchar(20))
Alter table add column x varchar(20)
so that the resulting table is
T1 a varchar(20), x varchar(20), b varchar(20), c varchar(20)
Can this be done programmatically?

I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.

How Can I Set Constant Padding Between The Columns Of The Column Chart(stacked Column Sub-type)?
Aug 2, 2006Hi All,
I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.
Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).
Thanks a lot in advance!

Derived Column Usage When Column Does Not Exist In Source (but Exists In Destination)
Sep 11, 2007
Posted - 09/10/2007 : 15:53:26
Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************
' Copy each source column to the destination column
Function Main()
DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now)
DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now)
DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031")
DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030")
DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029")
DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
***********************************************************
Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
thanks in advance!

Basically it gets the date from the source data column and outputs it as an integer in the YYYYMMDD format.So 01/OCT/2015 would become --> 20151001...I've been fidgeting with DAX but my problem is that I keep missing the leading zeroes for months and days.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDataBinder.Eval Is Saying My Column Doesn't Exist, Probably Because It Has A Brackets [ ] In The Column Name
May 7, 2007I am using a SQL command in ASP.NET to send a query to a an OLAP cube that returns a dynamic set of data that I load into a datatable and then bind to a GridView. I have made my own ITemplate implementaton for displaying and formatting the data, and the following line is causing me problems:
RawValue = DataBinder.Eval(row.DataItem, "[Month].[Month].[MEMBER_CAPTION]")
The error returned is:
Month is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table
My guess as to what is happening is that it sees the brackets in the field name and stops reading the field name at [Month], when the actual field name is much longer. I know that it knows about the column name because it displays it correctly in the header. Since I am loading this from an OLAP cube the names of my columns vary based on the criteria so I cannot alias the column because I don't know exactly which columns will be displayed. Does anyone know how I might get the DataBinder.Eval function to work with fields that contain square brackets [ and ] ?
If I use the GridView's "auto-generate fields" option it will show the data (and this is the column name) but I lose all control over formatting and the other custom code I'm writing in my ITemplate interface.
