I have a parameter value as shown below and this is dynamic and can grow
Example : 101-NY, 102-CA, 165-GA 116-NY, 258-NJ, 254-PA, 245-DC, 298-AL How do I get the values in the below format NY,CA,GA --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch only state names and not the numbers.
Hello everyone ! I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image). I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents. Example: I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed. I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page. Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ? Best regards. Yannick
Lets say I have a column of type varchar and need to extract an integer value from the middle of it. The string looks like this:'this part is always the same' + integer of varying length + 'this part is different but always the same length'Is there a way to trim the constant string lengths from the beginning and end?
Is there a function that will extract part of a string when the data youwant does not occur in a specific position?Field "REF" is varchar(80) and contains an email subject line and the emailrecipients contact nameExample data:Rec_ID REF1 Here is the information you requested (oc:JohmSmith)2 Thanks for attending our seminar (oc:Peggy SueJohnson)3 Re: Our meeting yesterday (oc:Donald A. Duck)What I need to extract is the contact name that is in parenthesis after theoc:The name is always in parenthesis and occurs immediately after "oc:" - nospaces after the "oc:"Thanks.
1. I have a table with a column for region names. Region Names are in 2 formats basically - "NAME-BU*RM" OR "NAME*RM". I want to extract just "Name" from this string. The length of "Name" varies and I want to extract all characters included for "Name". Can anyone advise what the query/SQL statement would look like?
2. I wrote a VB code to generate a xls file. Users are able to run it fine but if they have another file with same name already open, then it just crashes excel. So I want to include a code that checks if file "file.xls" is open on user's machine. If file is open, then message "file "File.xls" is already open. Generating File_1.xls" Run the code but create the file with file name "file_1.xls" If file doesn't exist, then run code and create file with file name "File.xls"
What would the syntax be to insert a column to the right of this one, and extract the first 8 digits from the data in the DATEID column and insert that into the new column DATE, therefore making it easier for me to query against an actual date?
I need to pull certain text from a large varchar field with up to 2 GB-per-instance capacity based on COCustServ
Example Entry: 'KSAUNDERS COCustServ 4/11/2006 5:58:31 PM -- patient called to verify exp date based on letter he received. SJOY RN 3/27/2006 3:46:56 PM -- Test Ordered: 70460/36yof MANTHONY COCustServ 3/27/2006 4:52:58 PM -- site called to chk sts.'
I will need to pull text in two seperate columns before COCustServ (username) and after COCustServ (date) which could appear multiple times in the same entry. In this case I will need to pull
Is there anyway to extract part of a string in a stored procedureusing a parameter as the starting point?For example, my string might read: x234y01zx567y07zx541y04zMy Parameter is an nvarchar and the value is: "x567y"What I want to extract is the two charachters after the parameter, inthis case "07".Can anyone shed some light on this problem?Thanks,lq
I want to extract two strings from xxxxx - yyyyyy separately as xxxxx and yyyyyy. The source always has two strings brought together with a - symbol. How to extract these two strings.
First of all I am a novice here. I am working on a table with a column of URL. I want to seperate the data in the URL delimited by '/'. Eg: http://www.simpletech.com/upgrades/aopen/s661fxm/s661fxmintelp4/
Here I want aopen as manufacturer, s661fxm as model_number and intelp4 as submodel_number. I solved this problem in Oracle using substring and instring. But I have no ides how to achieve this in SQL server. Please..advice me. Thanks in advance.
Here is a sample order # we used for one of our shipments: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
I need to extract the "24954" portion of that order # while within an INNER JOIN, but not sure how.
My problem is we have 2 order tables: OrderTable1 contains a field with the full order #. OrderTable2 contains a field with only the "24954" portion. I need to JOIN on these 2 fields somehow.
SELECT ot1.Full_Order_No , ot2.Order_No FROM OrderTable1 ot1 INNER JOIN OrderTable2 ot2 ON ot2.Order_No = [do something here to truncate ot1.Full_Order_No]
How can I do this?
Few notes:
-the 1st part of the order number, "BL-53151-" will ALWAYS be the same. It's our client # which will never change for the purpose of this query. -The portion I need (24954) can be more or less than the 5 current digits. -There will always be 6 portions to the order number, split up between 5 dashes.
Yeah, it's pretty simple. Maybe it'll help someone out.

I am trying to write a query in sql query analyzer that will extract a date that appears after the first comma in the string. An example of the data is below:
I have a column that contains the follwoing string I need to compare.
ek/df/cv/ ek/df/cv/f
All fields bfore the third / are not fixed but behind the third/ is eiter nothing or one letter I need a function to extract all the fields before the third / to compare if they are equal.
I can't do it by using the combination of Substring() and charindex() and Len()
Consider the following: I have a table, say ORDERS, with these entries -
CustID ProductID 1 CAN 2 2 3 1,2 4 4 5 1,2,3,4,5,CAN 6 10 7 CAN 8 1,CAN
I'd like to write a script to return only those rows WHERE ProductID = CAN along with other values in the same column. In this example, I'd like to return rows 5 & 8. How can I write this in T-SQL? So, say, check if ProductID has a comma ',' value plus the 'CAN' string. If yes, then return that row. If I use the LIKE operator, it'll return rows 1,5,7, and 8.
I have to extract a specific part of a string from a column in a sql server table. Following are the details and I have given the sample table and the sample strings.
I have 2 columns in my table [dbo].[StringExtract] (Id, MyString)
The row sample looks like the following
I have to extract the Id and a part of the column from mystring.
Id MyString 1 ABC|^~&|BNAME|CLIENT1||CLIENT1|20110609233558||BIC^A27|5014589635|K|8.1| ABC1|^~&|BNAME1|CLIENT1||CLIENT1|20110609233558||CTP^A27|5014589635|I|7.1| DEF||5148956598||||Apprised|Bfunction1||15|LMP|^^^201106101330| alloys3^ally^crimson^L||||alloys3^ally^crimson^L||||alloys3^ally^crimson^L|||||Apprised|
[Code] ....
The part I want to extract is in the line "ZZZ" and the string part that i want to extract is between the 5th and 6th pipes (|). So my output looks like the following
Id DesiredString 1 Extracts^This^String1 2 Extracts^This^String2 3 Extracts^This^String3
Is there a way to extract this either using TSQL or SSIS.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[StringExtract]') AND type in (N'U')) DROP TABLE [dbo].[StringExtract] GO IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[StringExtract]') AND type in (N'U')) BEGIN CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StringExtract]( [Id] [int] NULL,
I am required to send an XML file of our clients to head office in Belgium for comparison against a database of known undesirables. The data is in a legacy system with a custom database so I have created an SSIS package that extracts the tables I need into SQL Server and have developed a program that reads from a text source and creates the XML then Secure FTPs it to Hong Kong who will handle it from there.
My problem lies in actually extracting enough data to avoid too many false positives. The scanning will check name, identity (passport number, etc.), town/city and country. We don't hold an identity number and the town/city and country are buried in free format fields. A quick analysis of the 419,000 records shows that the spelling is terribly unreliable, too. In most cases country has not been entered because the clients are local and even when they are overseas, sometimes only the city has been entered. That is often misspelt, too e.g. Kuala Lumpar or Melboure.
The addresses are held in 3 equal length fields called Address_1, Address_2 and Address_3. There's no guarantee that I will find the town/city or country in any particular one of these fields. In some cases, the street number and name are in Address_3 because the first two hold a company name and a C/O line.
So I'm not going to fret over the ones where the address information is nonsense or missing but I would like to try and extract valid country names and town/city names, where present and this is where I get stuck. I'm from a COBOL programming background and although I'm loving getting used to the power of SQL, I'm still a bit stumped when I come across a problem like this probably because I keep thinking of the solution in procedural terms.
I have a feeling that the solution will be to create two separate reference tables, one of towns/cities and the other of countries. I would then somehow search the 3 fields looking for those keywords and if found, entering them in the appropriate part of the output text file to represent town/city and/or country. I did also think about destringing to find the separate words but that doesn't help where the name consists of two words such as NEW ZEALAND.
I would love to hear from anyone who has dealt with a similar problem and has a neat solution to this using SQL.
Hi all,I've the following scenario: One Full Text Search enabled SQL Server Table with one image type field that holds document uploaded from users.The idea is to store binary document(.doc. xls, .pdf, .ppt, html, .xml and so on) and using SQL server full text search i can retrieve record that contains certaind word or words.I have no problems with them. So imagine i do a simple select * from Documents where a=b and i get one collumn with binary document field.With this scenario, i want to "extract" that text from that document + 20 words left and 20 right to show user some info and help him to search desired document (not only for its type or title). Like search engines do.But believe me, i cant find out any component, class or something to do such a thing.I think, the hard work is done with full text search engine...Sql server has that data, but it can decodeI'm so desperate. I would accept answers such "sorry, it can't be done", from a experienced user, but i need to know Thanks in advance
I have a report which is redirecting to a subreport. The main report is having multi value parameter. I need to pass these multi values to sub report. Passing parameters from MDX report to T-sql report. So, I'm using the below exp.
=SPLIT(REPLACE(TRIM(Join(Parameters!Grade.Label,",")),", ",","),",") The value will look like this 01-Manger 02-Senior Mange 21-Associate 25-Associate Trainee
This is working for me in all the cases except one. In all other cases, the parameter's Label and Value field has same data in the sub report. But, in a specific parameter I'm getting Label and Value data are different. I'm getting an alpha numeric string value from MDX report , but I need to pass only the numeric values to the sub report since its value field contains only numeric value. The numeric value is coming at the starting of the string data. So I have used Mid()
I need to extract specific text elements from a varchar column. There are three keywords in any given string: "wfTask," "wfStatus" and "displayReportFromWorkflow." "wfTask" and "wfStatus" can appear multiple times, but always as a pair and will each be followed by by "==" (with or without surrounding spaces). "displayReportFromWorkflow" is always followed by "(" and there can be spaces on either side. The text elements will be between a pair of double quotes, and following one of keywords. For each row, I need to return the task, status and report name.
Output: rowID, Task, Status, ReportName ----- --------- ------- ------------------------ 1, Issuance, Issued, General Permit 2, Issuance, Issued, Capacity Letter Type III 2, Review, Denied, Capacity Letter Type III
I started with a string splitter using the double quote character, referencing elements "i" and "i+1" where the text like '%wfTask%' or '%wfStatus%' or '%displayReportFromWorkflow%', but the case of multiple task/status in a row has confounded me so far.
