T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Returning MAX (Value) In String
Jul 29, 2014I need to create a TSQL to return MAX(Value) removing the first part and last part.
Example
I have these Varchar Reference code:
1.00001-Q1
2.00100-Q2
3.00005-Q4
I need to cut the string to find the max number excluding (Part1):
1.
2.
3.
And also excluding (Part3):
-Q1
-Q2
-Q4
In this case converting varchar to INT, the correct value that i want is: 00101
The middle part excluding (Part1 and Part3)
Then my final reference could be:
1.00101-Q1
or
2.00101-Q2
or
3.00101-Q4
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Parsing A String
May 18, 2015I have a table Alert_Types with these fields :
alert_id,
alert_source,
body,
Now whenever a new alert is registered record goes in table like
alert_id = 1,
alert_source= document_detail_view,
body = Document ID: @document_id
Customer Name: @customer_name
Item name: @item_name
Quantity: @qty
it was simple to parse simple variables using replace functions. eg. REPLACE(@str, '@customer_name', @customer_name). It worked like mail merge.the converted string was then sent forward using a webservice.now my requirement is to add conditional values in body field e.g:
body = Document ID: @document_id
Customer Name: @customer_name
Item name: @item_name
Quantity: @qty
IF isnull(@rate, 0) > 0 Rate: @rate
IF isnull(@rate, 0) > 0 Amount: @amount
how can i parse strings like this. I'm open to change format of values for body field.
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Returning Only Portion Of String?

I need to keep all values before "." (point), and all values after "-" , and also all values between "." and "-", like this:
a) 1
9999
Q1
b) 01
9999
Q11
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Determine Which Pattern Comes First In A String
Aug 20, 2014DelimitedSplit8k and PatternSplitLoop seem to have potential, but I'm just plain stuck on some things:
1. DelimitedSplit8k: the delimiter split the folder paths, but the pattern can be within the strings that result.
2. PatternSplitLoop: I would have to cross apply 16 times and have an awful WHERE clause to determine which of the four strings matched first.
Unless I'm missing something. Short example is below.
WITH testctes (string, pattern) AS (
SELECT 'oh_look_at_this.thing.hishers_stuffmine.craftyours_protein', 'his first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'i.am.a._thing.hershis_thingsmine.refrigeratoryours_potato', 'hers first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'path_like.things_minehers.some_elsehis_garbageyours_sneakers', 'mine first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'more_stuff.yoursminehershis_falafel', 'yours first'
)
SELECT string, pattern, ca.item, ca.itemnumber
FROM testctes
CROSS APPLY [dbo].[PatternSplitLoop] (string, '%his%') ca
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Convert String To Date?
Sep 5, 2014I'm importing dates into a table with Bulk insert
SET DATEFORMAT DMY
it works with dates e.g. "14/01/2009"
However sometimes I get dates in the format
"Fri 14/01/2009"
What is the best way to convert these.
I can only think of putting them in a staging table with all date fields as varchars Then updating these varchar fields
LTRIM(REPLACE(dtField, 'Mon', ''))
LTRIM(REPLACE(dtField, 'Tues', ''))
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Increment String By Appending 01
Oct 27, 2014I am having a
Source Table: #test1(studID, FIrstNAme,LasteName)
Target Table: #Test2(StudID, UserName)
Now I want to create usernames from #test1 by considering first character of first name and last name and if same combination found then append with 01.
Example if #test1 contains data as below:
1,Abhas, Pawar
2, Arun, Pawar
3, Ashis, Panday
Then i want to create username like:
apawar
apawar01
apanday02
but if same username exists in #test2 then i want to inser records as below:
first apawar will check in #test2, if not exists insert as it is:
if apawar01 exists in #test2 then, cretae apawar02 instead of apawar01
for next create apawar03 and insert and so on...
In brief I want to check created username eith #table2 and if same exists then first check if lower value available if not then create with lower value and insert.
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Add String WHERE Filter That Will Match Everything
Nov 19, 2014I need to add a filter clause like
WHERE username = '%%%'

I need the filter to exist yet not really filter.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Start Position Of Number Value In A String
May 2, 2014In t-sql 2008 r2, I would like to know how to select a specific string in a varchar(50) field. The field in question is called 'CalendarId'.
This field can contain values like:
xxIN187 13-14 W Elem
HS321 13-14 D Elem
IN636 13-14 C Elem
030 13-14 clark middle.
What I am looking for is the first position that contains a number value for the length of 3. Thus what I want are values that look like the following: 030, 636, 187.What I know that I want is substring(CalendarId,?,3).The question mark is where I want the starting location of a number value (0 to 9) of the value in CalendarId . I tried pathindex but my syntax did not work.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace String After Specific Index
Mar 23, 2015I have data like below
Potter, James J
Williams, Ted R
Allen, Gary G
I want to remove Middle Name from the output
Potter, James
Williams, Ted
Allen, Gary
My Query:
SELECT
CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(' ', Supervisor, CHARINDEX(' ', Supervisor, 0) + 1) > 0 THEN
REPLACE(Supervisor, SUBSTRING(Supervisor, CHARINDEX(' ', Supervisor, CHARINDEX(' ', Supervisor, 0) + 1), LEN(Supervisor)), '')
ELSE Supervisor END AS NewSupervisor from data d
However, I stumble when Middle Name exists somewhere in the name as Replace function repalces every occurrence of the string. For ex: "Allen, Gary G" becomes "Allen,ary"
Do we have any way to say sql to replace after certain index?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: String Manipulation - Data Between Quotes
Apr 9, 2015I have data in a trace file, and I need to extract some info such as phone number.The problem is the phone number could be varying lengths, and various positions in the row.
For example:
@City='New York', @Phone='2035551212' (10 characters, no dashes)
or
@City='San Francisco', @Phone='918-555-1212' (12 characters, with dashes)
or
@City+'Berlin', @Phone='55-123456-7890' (14 characters, with dashes)
I can use CHARINDEX to search & find @Phone=' so I know where the phone number starts, but stuck on a programatic way to find the data between the quotes since it can vary.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Ignore String Or Binary Data Would Be Truncated
Jan 16, 2015I have a script to be used to backup a specific table in a weekly basis, here is the approach what I take:
1. script the source table's schema to a create
2. the new script:
If not exists (select * from sysobjects where name='EventlogHistory' and xtype='U')
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EventlogHistory](
[LogID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ProjectID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Description] [nvarchar](max) NOT NULL,
[EventType] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
[IP] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[UserLogon] [varchar](30) NOT NULL,
[CreatedOn] [datetime] NOT NULL,
ArchivedOn datetime default getdate())
insert into EventlogHistory
It throws me the error message saying "String or binary data would be truncated" which is nonsense to me, I need to let sql ignore the error, it is ridiculous to do a max(len()) to find out as it should never happen, right?
