Hi,
I have an alphanumeic string as one of the column values.I want to get numeic value out of the string.
I was planning on translating all the characters of the alphanumeric sting to spaces and then using ltrim and rtrim on it should give me the required numeric sring.But there is no translate function in sql server
Example: abcd123xy 123
xyz45 45
Can someone provide me a way to get the numeric value out of the strng.
Thanks

All,Oracle 9i provides a "USING" clause option for inner joins, thatallows me to say:SELECT * FROM TBL1 JOIN TBL2 USING KeyColumnassuming KeyColumn is in both TBL1 and TBL2. This is HIGHLY desirablefor our software make use of, but we also support SQL Server. Thereis no USING option available, andSELECT * FROM TBL1 JOIN TBL2 ON TBL1.KeyColumn = TBL2.KeyColumncauses an ambiguous column error on KeyColumn.Is there any equivalent to this Oracle functionality on SQL Server?KingGreg
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there an equivalent to Oracle's ROWNUM in SQL Server. ROWNUM, when added to a select statement as a column - the query would return an automatic counter, numbering each row returned.

Is there something equivalent to the MINUS in ORacle ?
Or a workaround ?
thanks
Hi,
Can any one tell me is there anything in SQL Server thats equivalent
to Oracle's ROWNUM.
Note that the Identity Property or TOP n will not solve my problem.
I want to asign a sequence no. to each row when its being fetched.
For example if in the emp table there are 2000 rows and I write
the following query in Oracle ,
SELECT rownum , empno, empname FROM emp Where rownum < =3
I get the result like this
Rownum----Empno--------------Empname
------------------------------------------
1-----------2345---------------ABCD
2-----------3334---------------EFGH
3-----------4484---------------IJKL
I know I can limit the output rows in SQL Server by using TOP n. But
I also want to generate a sequence no. The identity property of SQL Server
will not be usefull here because my actaul WHERE clause will be more
complex like WHERE resigndate = '01-jan-2004'
Thanks

I am having trouble creating an INSTEAD OF trigger in SQL Server toreplicate a BEFORE UPDATE trigger from ORACLE.Here is a sample of the ORACLE BEFORE UPDATE trigger:CREATE TRIGGER myTRIGGER ON MYTABLEbegin:new.DT := SYSDATE;if :new.NM is NULL then:new.NM := USER;end if;end myTRIGGER;It seems as though I have to jump through hoops in SQL Server AND Icannot come up with correct results.Here is a snippet from SQL SERVER (this is what I figured I needed todo after reading various articles,questions):CREATE TRIGGER myTRIGGER on THETABLEINSTEAD OF UPDATEASSELECT * INTO #MYTABLE FROM INSERTEDUPDATE #MYTABLE SET DT = GETDATE()UPDATE #MYTABLE SET NM = USER WHERE NM IS NULLUPDATE THETABLESETDT = (SELECT DT FROM #MYTABLE),NM = (SELECT NM FROM #MYTABLE)WHERE THETABLE.ID = (SELECT ID FROM #MYTABLE)Can anyone please shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.

Kindly give the SQL Server equivalent for the below Oracle query :
select *from t1, t2, t3 where
t1.t1col1 (+) = t2.t2col1 and
t2.t2col1 (+) = t3.t3col1
Thanks,

The syntax for Oracle's INSTR function is
instr (string1, string2, [start_position], [nth_appearance])
string1 is the string to search.
string2 is the substring to search for in string1.
start_position is the position in string1 where the search will start. This argument is optional. If omitted, it defaults to 1. The first position in the string is 1. If the start_position is negative, the function counts back start_position number of characters from the end of string1 and then searches towards the beginning of string1.
nth_appearance is the nth appearance of string2. This is optional. If omiited, it defaults to 1.
In SQL Server, we are having CHARINDEX and PATINDEX functions. But they will not accept the fourth paremeter (nth_appearance)
Do anybody know the solution for this ????
Hi
I want to know the equivalent of the Oracle translate function in SQL Server.
eg : select translate('entertain', 'et', 'ab') from dual.
I tried the SQL Server Replace function , but it replaces only one character or a sequence of character and not each occurrence of each of the specified characters given in the second argument i.e 'et'.
Please let me know if there is some other equivalent function in SQL Server
thanks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi.I'm a casual sql user. I have found a situation where I need to convert anoracle statement to tsql, one I can just fire off in any sql tool against anms sql server database.I studied the exists statement and I think I understand it somewhat, however Iwas not sure how to get it quite right. If you have an idea and a minute ortwo I'd appreciate any insight or tutorial.insert into authorization (program, optiontitle, usergroup, authorizationid)select 'EVERYWHERE','NAVIGATOR',usergroup, authorizationseq.nextvalfrom allgroups where exists (select * from authorizationwhere authorization.USERGROUP = allgroups.USERGROUP andauthorization.optiontitle = 'READ' and authorization.program = 'EVERYWHERE')I believe that because in my data, three values of usergroup from allgroupsreturn true from the exists, that this is supposed to insert three rows intoauthorization.But I can't figure out what to do about the authorization.nextval.. I triedvarious max(authorization)+1etc but nothing seemed to compile/workthanksJeff Kish

do anyone know the equivalent datatype in SQL server to 'time' datatype in DB2? For your information, 'time' datatype allows to store only hh:mm:ss.

This is driving me nuts..
I'm trying to extract some data from a table in oracle. The oracle table stores date and time seperately in 2 different columns. I need to merge these two columns and import to sql server database.
I'm struggling with this for a quite a while and I'm not able to get it working.
I tried the oracle query something like this,
SELECT
(TO_CHAR(ASOFDATE,'YYYYMMDD')||' '||TO_CHAR(ASOFTIME,'HH24:MM : SS')||':000') AS ASOFDATE
FROM TBLA
this gives me an output of 20070511 23:06:30:000
the space in MM : SS is intentional here, since without that space it appread as smiley
I'm trying to map this to datetime field in sql server 2005. It keeps failing with this error
The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data
I'm struck with error for hours now. Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
