I have a simple statement where I am trying to remove all commas that may be in the xn_workordeld column.
SELECT
xn_workordeld = case replace(xn_workordeld, ',', '') as "WORKORDER LD"
from workorder
Hello,
I recently used the REPLACE command, as described in a previous topic on this forum, to remove unwanted commas however I've now got a new problem, the column has become half a mile long. I was asked to raise a new topic and give examples, see below:
CAN ANYONE TELL ME:
1. Why is the column now bigger?
2. How can I redue the size of the column to it's origional size?
I have already attempted to use CONVERT, RTRIM and CAST around the replace command, all give an error.
Example query and result before REPLACE:
select ICMAFinInstName,CptyCode from tradedetails
ICMAFinInstName CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Example query and result using REPLACE:
select replace (ICMAFinInstName,',',' ')AS NoCommaInst,CptyCode from tradedetails
NoCommaInstrument CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
(I see in the preview that this forum has removed the spaces between the titles, but the dashes (--) show the size of the columns
Thanks

HI
I have three different columns as email1,email2 , email3.I am concatinating these columns into one i.e EMail like
select ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email1, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email2, N'') + ';' + ISNULL(dbo.tblperson.Email3, N'') AS Email from tablename.
One eg of the output of the above query when email2,email3 are having null values in the table is :
jacky_foo@mfa.gov.sg;;
means it is inserting semicoluns whenever there is a null value in the particular column. I want to remove this extra semicolumn whenever there is null value in the column.
Please let me know how can i do this
All I have a situation where I need to split the column to rows which is delimited using commas and semicolons. Please find the below sample data.
Data in Tables
Test1, Test2, Test3
Test4;Test5;Test6
Desired output
Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4
Test5
Test6
Is there any way that I can get this output in SQL other than using the XML Conversion, since the data has some special characters in this.
I am building a application, which will generates a MASTER query with 15 fields & 5 tables joins.Now, the user selects only some fields from that master fields and generates the CHILD query. This is creating a performance issue.
To minimize this, i would like to remove the not necessary joins in the child query.
I am loading a dimension using a distinct query.There are duplicates coming through and the only differnce is a trailing space on one of the columns.
RTRIM is not removing the space.
how i can fix it?
I have a table called exchange and field called address. The rows(1400+) in the field look like:

How do I remove everything to the left of doe.jane@med.va.gov and everything to the right of doe.jane@med.va.gov using query analyzer? Thank you in advance...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table . It has a nullable column called AccountNumber, whichis of varchar type. The AccountNumber is alpha-numeric. I want to takedata from this table and process it for my application. Before doingthat I would like to filter out duplicate AccountNumbers. I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here?

We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](
[Code] ....
The script I am using is
DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change
DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column
DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed
DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table
DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script
[Code] ....
When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Looking at the strings I build
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.
I'm executing the following...
select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1
the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.
I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"
would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?
this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

I have a stored procedure that returns a single row based on a parameter of employee ID. This particular procedure uses a CTE to traverse our org structure. One of the columns is returning a delimited string of Windows login values and due to the business rules, it can contain duplicate values. I need to have that column contain only unique values - no dupes.
For example, this one column could contain something like this:
domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser2;domainuser 3;
The need is to convert to this:
domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser3;
I know that's a tall order.
I ran this query to populate a field with random numbers but it keeps populating with some duplicate records. how I can remove the duplicates?
UPDATE APRFIL
SET ALTATH = CONVERT(int, RAND(CHECKSUM(NEWID())) * 10000);
Below are sample output that I need the dupes not show. The table already exist and its sql 2008

I've look at several different methods for removing leading zero's from a column but I need to remove trailing data from a VARCHAR column. For some reason, the old database saved the time along side the date in my client's app.
For example:
The old database format "2015-07-28 00:00:00"
I need the data in this column in the new database to only be the date "2015-07-28", there are alot of rows with this issue.
Is there a query I can run to remove the 00-00-00 from all of the rows? Some of the fields actually have a time in there like this: 2015-07-28 12:15:35, with this one, I don't think it's going to be easy but if I could at least remove the 00-00-00 from all the rows that have it, that would be a good start.
How do i drop/remove the identity property for an existing column in all Tables where the Identity column is a primary key.
The Script below was used to find all the tables that have an Identity Column as a primary key in a database. Now i want to remove the identity property from the Identity Columns that have a primary key in the database.
select pk.table_name, c.column_name,
from information_schema.table_constraints pk
INNER JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage c ON c.TABLE_NAME = pk.TABLE_NAME
and c.constraint_name = pk.constraint_name
where constraint_type = 'PRIMARY KEY'
and COLUMNPROPERTY(object_id(pk.table_name), column_name, 'IsIdentity') = 1
ORDER BY pk.table_name, c.column_name
I need write a query for removing duplicates, for Example in my table I have columns
A_ID name id
1 sam 10
2 sam 10
3 sam 10
4 sam 10
5 ccc 15
6 ccc 15
7 ccc 15
8 fff 20
9 fff 20
10 fff 20
So now I have duplicates values in id column so now I need to take only one value of each and delete the remaining. I need to take first id value 10,15,20 so only 3 rows should be there in my table.
