Hello All,
I'm a non-programmer and an SQL newbie. I'm trying to create a printer usage report using LogParser and SQL database. I managed to export data from the print server's event log into a table in an SQL2005 database.
There are 3 main columns in the table (PrintJob) - Server (the print server name), TimeWritten (timestamp of each print job), String (eventlog message containing all the info I need). My problem is I need to split the String column which is a varchar(255) delimited by | (pipe). Example:
2|Microsoft Word - ราย�ารรับ.doc|Sukanlaya|HMb1_SD_LJ2420|IP_192.10.1.53|82720|1
The first value is the job number, which I don't need. The second value is the printed document name. The third value is the owner of the printed document. The fourth value is the printer name. The fifth value is the printer port, which I don't need. The sixth value is the size in bytes of the printed document, which I don't need. The seventh value is the number of page(s) printed.
How I can copy data in this table (PrintJob) into another table (PrinterUsage) and split the String column into 4 columns (Document, Owner, Printer, Pages) along with the Server and TimeWritten columns in the destination table?
In Excel, I would use combination of FIND(text_to_be_found, within_text, start_num) and MID(text, start_num, num_char). But CHARINDEX() in T-SQL only starts from the beginning of the string, right? I've been looking at some of the user-defind-function's and I can't find anything like Excel's FIND().
Or if anyone can think of a better "native" way to do this in T-SQL, I've be very grateful for the help or suggestion.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Chutikorn

I'm trying to split a hyphen-delimited string into three columns in a view. I've been using substring and len to split up the string, but it is getting very complicated (and isn't working in all cases). I've used a SPLIT function in vbscript - does t-sql have anything similar? I've attached a spreadsheet that shows what I am looking for. Maybe someone can guide me in the right direction?
Thanks.

I'm creating a web-based NT RAS report site and am looking for the most efficient way to import the data from NT Event log into SQL2k. I'm using the 'dumpel' utility from rsc kit and all is fine except the 10th column - the message detail:
"The user DOMAINuserid connected on port Mdm15 on 08/23/2002 at 07:25am and disconnected on 08/23/2002 at 07:27am. The user was active for 2 minutes 23 seconds. 78809 bytes were sent and 50675 bytes were received. The port speed was 49300."
I need to parse this one long text string into 6 distinct columns: userID, port, duration, bytes_xmt, bytes_rcv and portspeed. After a quick review of the rowsets, the strings seem to hold a consistent output ... no real variances I can see.
I've dablled with views but am facing a small performance issue that could get bigger: The sql server not only has to run the text file import package, but also the view to format the text dump into a workable dataset, then my report code bangs over 30 queries against the final dataset. It already takes our SQL2k server over 3 minutes to parse about 20,000 rows and the server's a beast (dual 1.8 p4 cpu, 3gb ram, raid, etc).
What I think would work best is to abandon the view (performance will only get worse as the row count increases) and instead INSERT the rows into one table.
Any ideas anyone? any good scripts out there that can help me to parse the long text string quicker that using substring and replace functions?
TIA:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hello,I have been placed in charge of migrating an old access based databaseover to sql server 7.0. So far, I have imported all the tables intosql server, but now I have come across the issue of needing to split astring variable. For instance, in the old database, the variable forname was such that it included both first and last names, whereas inthe new database there are seperate entities for first and last name.I know that there is a way to write a script that will separate out thetwo strings by using the "space" in between the name, but I'munfamiliar how to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks!Rick

If I have a string of
'WLL EXT FACE REND'
how would I go about splitting the string into 4 strings of
'WLL'
'EXT'
'FACE'
'REND'
I know that for the first bit I can use a combination of PATINDEX and LEFT, but not sure how I can pull out the rest of them.
Thanks

When I accept my input data, it's convenient to read it in from a flat file as a fixed width file with a width of 100. Then I run a splitter to split the input into two different paths (path_1 and path_2, say), based on an indicator field.
The output of path_1 has 1 column with width of 100, but now I want to split it up into lots of little columns. The output of path_2 also has 1 column with a width of 100, but I want to split it up, too, only using a different fixed width map than i used for path_1.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have a string like say: '3:4:5:4,2:4:1,4:1:2:5:2'. Now I need to split the substrings delimited by commas. So my final output shall be
3:4:5:4
2:4:1
4:1:2:5:2
I did write a piece of code to achieve the same, but I feel its not so efficient. Can anyone suggest me a better way, if any? My code is as follows:
Declare @person as varchar(255), @cnt smallint,@loc smallint,@prevloc smallint, @str varchar(255)
Select @prevloc=0,@loc=1,@cnt=1,@person = '3:4:5:4,2:4:1,4:1:2:5:2'
While @loc != 0
begin
set @prevloc=(case when @loc = 1 then 0 else @loc end) +1
set @loc = charindex(',',@person,@loc+1)
Set @str = substring(@person,@prevloc,(Case when @loc = 0 then len(@person) - @prevloc + 1 else @loc - @prevloc end))
print 'String = ' + @Str
set @cnt=@cnt+1
end
RESULT
------
String = 3:4:5:4
String = 2:4:1
String = 4:1:2:5:2
Note: My actual purpose is to also sub split it again with ':' delimiter too. So looking for an efficient code.

What I need is split the data into two columns if data in column Main starts with 'PR-' then output result to column P and if it starts with 'CC-' then to column C (the output needs to be in one table).

So we have a field called forenames, and it needs to be split into fields forename_1, forename_2, forename_3, forename_4 (don't ask).
Ok, I've come up with this so far, which works, but is pretty nacky in my opinion. Has any one got a better way of achieving this?
SELECT forenames
, Replace(forenames, ' ', '.')
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 1)) As [f1]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 2)) As [f2]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 3)) As [f3]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 4)) As [f4]
FROM ( SELECT 'John' As [forenames]
UNION SELECT 'John Paul'
UNION SELECT 'John Paul George'
UNION SELECT 'John Paul George Ringo'
) As [x]
Results
forenames (no column name) f1 f2 f3 f4
---------------------- ---------------------- ---- ---- ------ -----
John John John NULLNULL NULL
John Paul John.Paul John PaulNULL NULL
John Paul George John.Paul.George John PaulGeorgeNULL

I have a large poorly designed table (inherited) With a Name field that contains comma delimited text containing address information. I need to do several things with it but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any true consistency in it. When it displays in its own text box it works by placing each section on a new Line and looks ok.But I need to pull it apart and place things like unit number, Building Name in its own column etc. In the data it could be in either the 2nd,3rd, 4th, dependent on what came 1st. the data looks some thing like the following
unitNumber/StreetNumber Space StreetName (Building Name), Subub,City,Country
Some addresses won't have unit number or Suburb or country so when splitting you could have Suburbs and Citys in multiple columns even if you try and stagger the split process.Has any body go a good tool or reference site for dealing for this sort of problem. I have a table that I have made up that has some of the street names that could be used for comparing against existing records but it is by no means fool proof due to spelling inconsistencies . I also have another list of Common building names that could be used to compare, remove and place in the new building column.

Hi All!!!
I was tasked to come up with a search function and the content of the database given to me is in Chinese Characters. This would be my first time dealing with Chinese characters in the database and I need help with the following problem:
The company wants to conduct the search in such a way that, instead of having the system read the entire sentence/phrase which the user keyed in as a SINGLE string, they want the Chinese Characters to be accessed individually, so that as long as any information in the database contains any one of the characters which the user have entered, they will be retrieved and returned.
So how do I go about doing this? Does it have anything to do with Unicode? By the way, everything abt the search tool is working fine, I am just left with this dilemma of having the system recognise the entire sentence as ONE STRING, instead of conducting a search word by word or character by character.
Anyway, the following is the SQL statement of my SQL Data Source which is bound to a Gridview displaying the returned results after a search is done...1 SELECT Name, Trans, Address1, Address1T, Address2, Address2T, City, CityT, CRPLID
2 FROM CRPL
3 WHERE (Trans LIKE '%' + @Trans + '%') OR
4 (Name LIKE '%' + @Name + '%') OR
5 (Address1 LIKE '%' + @Address1 + '%') OR
6 (Address1T LIKE '%' + @Address1T + '%') OR
7 (Address2 LIKE '%' + @Address2 + '%') OR
8 (Address2T LIKE '%' + @Address2T + '%') OR
9 (City LIKE '%' + @City + '%') OR
10 (CityT LIKE '%' + @CityT + '%')
Thanks for all your help in advance!!!

Hi to everyone,My problem is, that I'm not so quite sure, which way should I go.The user is inputing by second part application a long string (let'ssay 128 characters), which are separated by semiclon.Example:A20;BU;AC40;MA50;E;E;IC;GREENNow: each from this position, is already defined in any other table, asa separate record. These are the keys lets say. It means, a have someproperities for A20, BU, aso.Because this long inputed string, is a property of device (whih alsohas a lot of different properities) I could do two different ways ofstoring data:1. By writing, in SP, just encapsulate each of the position separatedby semicolon, and write into a different table with index of device,and the position in long stirng nearly in this way:Major device data tableID AnyData1 AnyData2 ... AnyData3123 MZD12 XX77 .... any comment text124 MZD13 XY55 ... any other commentString data Tablefk_deviceId position value123 1 A20123 2 BU123 3 AC40.....123 8 GREENThe device table, contains also a pointer (position), which mightchange, to "hglight" specified position.Then, I can very easly find all necessary data. The problem is, I needto move the device record data (from other table) very often into otherhistory table (by each update). That will mean, that I also need tomove all these records from 1 -8 for example to a separate historytable, holding the index for a history device dataset. This is a littleinconvinience in this, and in my opinion, it will use to much storagedata, and by programming, I need always to shift this properities intohistory table, whith indexes to a history table of other properities.2. Table will be build nearly in this way:Major device data tableID AnyData1 AnyData2 ... AnyData3 stringProperty pointer123 MZD12 XX77 .... any comment text A20;BU;AC40;MA50;E;E;IC;GREEN 3124 MZD13 XY55 ... any other comment A20;BU;AC40;MA50;E;E;IC;GREEN 2By writng into device table, there will be just a additional field forthis string, and I will have a function, which according to specifiedpointer, will get me the string part on the fly, while I need it.This will not require the other table, and will reduce the amout ofdata, not a lot ... but always.This solution, has a inconvinance, that it will be not so fast doing asearch over the part of this strings, while there will be no real indexon this.If I woould like to search all devices, by which the curent pointervalue is equal GREEN, then I need to use function for getting thevalue, and this one will be not indexed, means, by a lot amount ofdata, might be slow.I would like to know Your opinion about booth solutions.Also, if you might point me the other problems with any of thissolution, I might not have noticed.With Best RegardsMatik

Hi,
I have a function which takes a string and a delimter. It then splits the string by the delimter and returns a table of resultant strings:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[vs_SplitTags] (@sep char(1), @s varchar(512))
RETURNS table
AS
RETURN (
WITH Pieces(pn, start, stop) AS
(
SELECT 1, 1, CHARINDEX(@sep, @s)
UNION ALL
SELECT pn + 1, stop + 1, CHARINDEX(@sep, @s, stop + 1)
FROM Pieces
WHERE stop > 0
)
SELECT pn,
SUBSTRING(@s, start, CASE WHEN stop > 0 THEN stop-start ELSE 512 END) AS s
FROM Pieces
)
This works very well, other than instances of the delimter are, themselves, considered to be results. For example:
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', 'foo bar') AS result
returns:
pn s
1 foo
2 bar
which is exactly the result I would want.
However,
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', ' foo bar ') AS result -- There are spaces before 'foo' and after 'bar'
returns
pn s
1
2 foo
3 bar
4
And
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', 'foo bar') AS result -- There are two spaces between 'foo' and 'bar'
returns
pn s
1 foo
2
3
4 bar
I want the function to ignore whitespace altogether, be it a single space or multiple spaces. Other than to delimit the boundries between words, of course.
In other words, all three examples above should produce the same result:
pn s
1 foo
2 bar
How can I do this? Any thoughts much appreciated...

I have a very interesting problem in T-SQL coding for which I can't figure out the solution. Actually there is a Line_1_Address column in our data warehouse address table which is being populated from various sources. Some sources have already concatenated house number + street address fields in the Line_1_Address column whereas one source has separated columns for both data fields.
Now I'm trying to extract data from this data warehouse table and I need to split the house number from street address and load it into separate columns in my destination table. In case there is no data for house number then I should load it as NULL.
The issue is that data in this Line_1_Address column is very inconsistent so I don't know which functions to use. Here is some sample data for your consideration:
Line_1_Address
101 E Commerce ST
120 E Commerce ST
2 Po Box
301 W. Bel Air Ave
West Main Street, PO Box 1388

I have a table with a string value, where all values are seperated by a space/blank. I now want to use SQL to split all the values and insert them into a different table, which then later will result in deleting the old table, as soon as I got all values out from it.
Old Table:
Code:
ID, StringValue
New Table:
Code:
ID, Value1, Value2
Do note: Value1 is INT, Value2 is of nvarchar, hence Value2 can contain spaces... I just need to split on the FIRST space, then convert index[0] to int, and store index[1] as it is.
I can split on all spaces and just Select them all and add them like so: SELECT t.val1 + ' ' + t.val2... If I cant find the first space that is... I mean, first 2-10 characters in the string can be integer, but does not have to be.Shall probably do it in code instead of SQL?Now I want to run a query that selects the StringValue from OldTable, splits the string by ' ' (a blank) and then inserts them into New Table.
Code:
SELECT CASE CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1)
WHEN 0 THEN OldTable.stringvalue
ELSE SUBSTRING(OldTable.stringvalue, 1, CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) - 1)
END
AS FirstWord
FROM OldTable
Found an example using strange things like CHARINDEX..But issue still remains, because the first word is of integer, or it does not have to be...If it isn't, there is not "first value", and the whole string shall be passed into "value2".How to detect if the very first character is of integer type?
Code:
@declare firstDigit int
IF ISNUMERIC(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) = 1
set @firstDigit = CAST(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int)
ELSE
set @firstDigit = -1

Hi all,
I am trying to create a table of counts but it is running too long and would be a waste of paper so in essence I want the table to wrap at the 50% mark. As far as I understand theres no way to do that with just one table in RS so Im planning on using two tables and filtering them somehow.
I have been looking at the top % and bottom % filters but they dont seem to work for my purposes.

NOTE:
I am not interested in any responses that want to argue the use of a unique ID field and autonumbering as the PK. It is quite clear from the forums that this subject is a polarizing one. This question is for those who follow text-book design practices and believe that a composite primary key should be used when it is available. I want to be one of them for the time being.
SYNOPSIS:
I have three tables, TestSummary, TestDetails, and Steps.
The TestSummary table looks like this:
Create table TestSummary
(
TestSummaryID int identity primary key,
...
SequenceID int not null
)
It contains the date and time of the test, the serial number, the part number, the test operator's name, and the ID of the sequence of steps used during the test. It uses a unique ID field for the primary key.
The TestDetails table looks like this:
Create table TestDetails
(
TestDetailsID int identity primary key,
TestSummaryID int not null,
StepID int not null,
...
)
It contains the details of the test like voltage readings, current readings, temperature, etc., one record per reading. It also contains the step number of the test sequence specified in the TestSummary table.
The Steps table looks like this:
Create table Steps
(
SequenceID int not null,
StepID int not null,
Function int not null
Primary key (SequenceID, StepID)
)
It contains a list of all of the functions to be performed on the device under test by sequence number and the step number within the sequence.
When I try to establish a relation between TestSummary.SequenceID and Steps.SequenceID, SQL Server flags an error because TestSummary.SequenceID and Steps.SequenceID:Steps.StepID do not match.
What is the problem with this approach?
