I have a source table with a varchar(1000) field. I want to abbreviate words in source string and store them as a concatenated string in target field which is varchar(100). Translation of source word to abbreviated word can be provided in flat file or database table.
I have a SQL Server 2000 database which uses a Cyrillic collation. The database itself is in English, but some of the tables contain text which use the Cyrillic character set. When creating an ODBC connection to the database, ODBC forces me to have the "Translate character data" option set, which means that a query or stored procedure parameter containing Cyrillic characters have the Cyrillic characters translated to plain ascii. Data returned from a query or SP with Cyrillic characters work fine.
So the question is: how can I send Cyrillic (unicode) strings to an English SQL Server, without it translating the characters between Workstation and Server? Ideas appreciated.
I wanted to post this message to all of those people whom might have experieinced the same situation that we are currently experiencing.
The architecture is transactional replication from a Unix/Sybase environment to a WINNT/MSSQL environment.
When a developer ran a query utilizing a Sybase SQL Advantage window and a ISQL window from Unix, this data field with these values is being report as such:
col1 (SQL Advant) Nov 17 2000 (ISQL) Nov 17 4336 col2 (SQL Advant) Nov 17 2000 (ISQL) Nov 17 1510
However, when the problem was brought to my attention, I opend a SQL Advantage window and a MSSQL QA window and ran the same query and the dates matched as listed above in the (SQL Advant) col1 and col2. Can anyone explain this wierd phenomena?
Any help with be appreciated.

Hi,I have a problem regarding the perfomance of a stp in combination withcharacter translation.The following happens.We have an automated installation script (nt command file) forcreating all stored procedures in a database.At first we used osql in this script, but with osql the internationalcharacters (é, ï etc) were not entered correctly into the database.The tip given in some newsgroups was to use isql in stead of osql, andturn off automatic ansi to oem translation.This worked perfectly. However now some stored procedures are executedmuch slower than before (and they take up much cpu). When I drop andrecreate the stored procedure using Query Analyser, the performancegoes up again.When I look through the messages in this group, the advise is to useosql instead of isql. But I just changed to isql because of thecharacter translation!Does anyone have a solution for this?
I have deveoped a replacement for some an old bcp based applications in the .Net Framework that uses the SqlBulkCopy class.
I have run into some difficulties with code page translation:
The original BCP client runs with OEM Codepage 437 , thus the data "ëÄÆòÖ" gets loaded as "d-¦=+". DB is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, column is varchar.
I have been unable to perform any code page Encoding in .Net that yields the same result.
I want to emulate this behaviour in my database loader but as yet have been able to find a way....
I have translated my ReportViewer by setting myReportViewer.Messages to my own implementation. This helps me with the translation of most of the interface. However, errormessages such as "The value provided for the report parameter 'SomeDateParameter' is not valid for it's type" is not translated. Is there any way to fix the translation of such error messages?

While trying to set up an unpivot transformation to load data from excel (2003) into sql server db, the dates as column headers get lost in the translation.
To simplify the problem I created a very simple package with an excel source and an excel destination.
The test Excel Source looks like
ID 1/1/2008 3/1/2008 5/1/2008 A 5 7 9 B 10 12 24
After running the package The destination looks like this: ID F4 F5 F6 A 5 7 9 B 10 12 24
I need to keep the dates since I am loading a large volume of data often. Any suggestions?
I need to consume a live data feed from a golf tournament. And by consume, I really mean insert (merge) into our own SQL Server database on a regular intervals as a tournament progresses.This site didn't let me upload an XML file, but you can see a sample of the data feed here: URL....
I need to insert this data into 2 tables, Player_Holes and Player_Shots. But while doing the insert, I need to lookup several things such as our player ID match to theirs on an external_id against the players table. The shot types translation, and some other logic about the process overall.
The columns in my player_holes tables are: id, player_id, hole_id, round, shots (this is a total # of strokes) and date_created/date_modified.Shots table is similar: id, player_id, hole_id, round, shot_number, shot_type_id, club, distance, date_created/date_modified.
The only way I know how to do it, is inefficient. I would parse the XML in ColdFusion (please no comments on ColdFusion, that's what we use for webdev), and then loop over it and do inserts for each player, each hole for each round, and the shots would probably be separate for each hole.
It would be so much better and more efficient if I could do it in SQL directly. I've done some research and SQL Server Data Tools looks promising. I've never used it, so would have to learn, but also I'm not sure if that'd work in this application when we want to run is as a scheduled task every few minutes.
Hello,I'm struggling a giant fight with my webprovider (ASP.net 2.0) in the following case:I'm using the default connectionstring which automatic is provided when I create an ASP.net webstarterskit. This connectionstring is working fine when i deployed that kit to a W2003 server testenvironment and is also running on my laptop. But when I tried to deploy the website to my (new) hostingserver, also a W2003 server, I landed in ERROR-land. The last error I received was:Cannot open database "Club" requested by the login. The login failed.> Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.NB: I gave that user the right privileges and roles. My provider is not willing in sending me an example of a good working connectionstring and is directing me to their FAQ-site in which the right connectionstring is mentioned. That string looks like this (for a MS SQL database):strConnectie = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;" & _ "Data Source=(local)SQLEXPRESS;" & _ "Initial Catalog=[GEBRUIKERSNAAM];" & _ "User Id=[GEBRUIKERSNAAM];" & _ "Password=[WACHTWOORD]"My connectionstring in web.config looks like this:<connectionStrings><clear/><add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=true;AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|Club.mdf;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/><remove name="LocalSqlServer"/><add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf" /></connectionStrings>Is there anybody in this forum that can help me out and explain to me how to use the string, as provided by the host, in the default connectionstring i use in web.config ??Any help is welcome and appreciated.NB: I'm using VWD 2005 Express Edition and SQL Server Management Studio ExpressHarry Elzinga
I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
We have some URLs within a bulk block of text some of which are very long. I need to identify rows where such urls exceed say 100 characters in length in amongst other text.So the rule would be return a record if within the string there is a string (without spaces) longer than 100 characters.
I have following query which return me SP/Views and Functions script using:
select DEFINITION FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESNow, the result looks like Create proc create procedure create proc create view create function
I need its result as:
Alter Procedure Alter Procedure Alter Procedure Alter View Alter Function
I used following
select replace(replace(replace(DEFINITION,'CREATE PROCEDURE','Alter Procedure'), 'create proc','Alter Procedure'),'create view','Alter View') FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESto but it is checking fixed space like create<space>proc, how can i check if there are two or more spaces in between create view or create proc or create function, it should replace as i want?
I am trying to insert a row into a table of Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
There are various columns.
[SNO] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL , [DATT] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [DATTA] [char] (3000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , [CODECS] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
The [DATTA] column is causing a problem. Even if I am trying to put only 1700 character string into [DATTA], the java code throws the following exception:-
StaleConnecti A CONM7007I: Mapping the following SQLException, with ErrorCode 0 and SQLState 08S01, to a StaleConnectionException: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Connection reset
at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createException(Unknown Source)
Why is it throwing an exception even though the sum-total of this row doesn't exceed 8000 characters?
Hello to all, I have a problem with ms sql query. I hope that somebody can help me. i have a table "Relationships". There are two Fields (IDMember und RelationshipIDs) in this table. IDMember is the Owner ID (type: integer) und RelationshipIDs saves all partners of this Owner ( type: varchar(1000)). Example Datas for Table Relationships: IDMember Relationships . 3387 (2345, 2388,4567,....) 4567 (8990, 7865, 3387...) i wirte a query to check if there is Relationship between two members. Query: Declare @IDM int; Declare @IDO int; Set @IDM = 3387, @IDO = 4567; select * from Relationship where (IDMember = @IDM) and ( cast(@ID0 as char(100)) in (select Relationship .[RelationshipIDs] from Relationship where IDMember = @IDM))
But I get nothing by this query. Can Someone tell me where is the problem? Thanks

My requirement is that if the string in the column has any of the characters from 'ACDIPFJZ' , those characters have to be retained and the rest of the characters have to be removed.
I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip" or "tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip" or "airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234 123 12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.
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.
I have a nasty situation in SQL Server 7.0. I have a table, in whichone column contains a string-delimited list of IDs pointing to anothertable, called "Ratings" (Ratings is small, containing less than tenvalues, but is subject to change.) For example:[ratingID/descr]1/Bronze2/Silver3/Gold4/PlatinumWhen I record rows in my table, they look something like this:[uniqueid/ratingIDs/etc...]1/2, 4/...2/null/...3/1, 2, 3/...My dilemma is that I can't efficiently read rows in my table, match thestring of ratingIDs with the values in the Ratings table, and returnthat in a reasonable fashion to my jsp. My current stored proceduredoes the following:1) Query my table with the specified criteria, returning ratingIDs as acolumn2) Split the tokens in ratingIDs into a table3) Join this small table with the Ratings table4) Use a CURSOR to iterate through the rows and append it to a string5) Return the string.My query then returns...1/"Silver, Platinum"2/""3/"Bronze, Silver, Gold"And is easy to output.This is super SLOW! Queries on ~100 rows that took <1 sec now take 12secs. Should I:a) Create a junction table to store the IDs initially (I didn't thinkthis would be necessary because the Ratings table has so few values)b) Create a stored procedure that does a "SELECT * FROM Ratings," putthe ratings in a hashtable/map, and match the values up in Java, sinceJava is better for string manipulation?c) Search for alternate SQL syntax, although I don't believe there isanything useful for this problem pre-SQL Server 2005.Thanks!Adam
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int ) Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID, then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.
Hi,We have stored proc name proc_test(str nvarchar(30)). So far this prochas been invoked from a .NET application assuming that only Englishcharacter strings will be passed to it. The calls are likeproc_test('XYZ')We now have a requirement for passing Chinese strings as well. Ratherthan changing the calls throughout the application, we would like tohandle it in the stored procedure so that it treats the string as aunicode string. Can we apply some function to the parameter to convertit to unicode so that we don't have to call with an N prefixed to thestring?Thanks,Yash
There is a table t1 with two fields, such as, ID NAME １ Ｔｏｋｙｏ 2 Xian 3 America
For there are full-width and half-width strings in the values of the two fields, I can not select and get the right records. So I want to transform the two fields ID and NAME, I fail to find the function in the SQL Server 2005. Please give me some advice.
In SQL 2000 DTS, I was able to append data from an ODBC source to a SQL 2000 destination table. The destination table was created by copying an attached source table in Access to a new table, then upsizing it to SQL. The character fields come over as varchar, and that seemed to be fine with the DTS job.
Now using the same source table and the same SQL destination, only in SQL 2005 with Integration Services instead of DTS, I get an error because the connection manager interprets the source text fields as Unicode and the destination fields are varchar.
I could script the table and change the text fields in the destination table to nvarchar, but this could have adverse affect on the application that uses the destination table. Is there a way to make the connection manager see the source text fields as varchar, or have the integration package allow the append even though the destination is varchar and the source is nvarchar?
I'm trying to figure out how to convert an INT so that I can add it to another string in a statement likeSELECT '<a href="http://mydomain.com/' + [IntValue] + '">' + [LinkName]Where [IntValue] is an INT field containing a folder number. I tried: TO_CHAR([IntValue, '999')but it didn't work. And I tried to find a TO_STRING function, but had no luck.Any advice to someone who is savy, but new to SQL Queries?
