T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Searching For Allowed Characters From Table Using Function?
Aug 10, 2015
I want to create a function that searches for allowed characters within a table range (that contains the allowed characters) and replace any characters outside this range with a space.
For example -
'Bill123?', 'Jones12.z-'
'John&12/', 'QWERT123&4'
Wanted results – the single quotes are there to show the space for the replaced characters.
'Bill123 '
'Jones12.z '
'John&12 '
'QWERT123 4'
Example SQL data
CREATE TABLE [Common].[AllowedCharacters] (
[Character] [varchar](1) NOT NULL,
[Replacement] [varchar](10) NULL,
[AlwaysInclude] [bit] NOT NULL)
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
[code]....
The function will wrap around the column names and I know it can be done without a table validate the characters but it must be done this way.

SELECT MAX(ID)
FROM [LinkedServer].[Database].dbo.[TableName] (NOLOCK)

The above SQL Script ran successfully up to yesterday. But today its throws the below error message.
Remote table-valued function calls are not allowed.
Now i have modified the SQL script as follows
SELECT MAX(ID)
FROM [LinkedServer].[Database].dbo.[TableName] WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE <Condition>
I want to know how the 1st SQL script runs successfully up to yesterday.

I would greatly appreciate all the help you guys can provide me with.
Thank you for taking the time.

I am using SQL Server 2008. In one of my table, one column has values like
"MFY RLHH CSQÉ"
"Aamj Gxmolwn Slf Yytrzgan Hiwd Fnlmyw"
So to fetch the data having only special characters in it, I used below query
Select * From Table Where Column Like '%[^0-9a-zA-Z]%' Escape ' '. Its returning both the records. Here I would like to fetch records for those Unicode characters only which are not within 00201 - 0070E [URL].

There is a table [Formula_Calc] with formula calculations that need to be replaced with relevant values based on another table [Totals]
[Totals]
RowNo|Total
F1|240
F2|160
F3|180
F11|1000
F12|1500
F13|2000
For example we've got a row from [Formula_Calc] table 'F1+F3' as a string that needs to be transformed as 240+160=400
The below code works for the above example but if I pick 'F11+F3' instead , returns 2561 which comes from 2401+16.
Probably replaces F1 value instead of F11 and adds 1st digit (1) if I got it right ...
DECLARE @formula NVARCHAR(100);
DECLARE @Total NVARCHAR(100);
SET @formula = 'F11+F3';
SELECT @formula = REPLACE(@formula,RowNo,Total)
FROM [Totals]
SET @Total='select '+@formula
EXECUTE sp_executesql @Total;
PRINT @Total;

I have a table-valued function in mssql 2005 as below:
ALTER FUNCTION fn_test{ @test nvarchar(1000)}RETURNS@TEMP TABLE{ test nvarchar(1000)}ASBEGIN INSERT INTO @TEMP SELECT @test
RETURNEND
Everytime, I passed in chinese character (@test), such as 測驗, the function will return ????. What should I do for the table-valued function, so that the chinese character can be passed in? Please help.
Note: I can search and get the chinese characters if I use stored procedures; and the columns in the tables can store chinese chararcters as well. Only table-valued function is not working with the chinese characters. Is it a bug from MSSQL 2005?

I am having a hard time finding information on how to search a nvarchar for non-alpha characters (stuff that is no a-z, A-Z, 0-9). I was I could create a function that would go though each of the char in each nvarchar and check if it was "a-z,A-Z,0-9", and if it wasn't send back false, if it didn't find any, send back true. Then in my query, I would but where function = false to just bring up the list that had the non-alphnumeric characters. My problem with that, i am not sure how to loop though each of the characters in the nvarchar. Is there a better way? or should I continue with the function, if the function, how do I loop though each of the characters?

I'm looking for a way to search for return characters (CHAR (13) or CHAR(10)) in VARCHAR fields. More specifically, either a way to remove them from the result set or replace them throughout the database.
Bonus Question:
Why can't users take a minute and fix their cut and paste into the address 1 field so that address 2 is in the right field (instead of on address 1 with returns in the middle of the data)?! Sheesh!

I create my database table with a text field of nvarchar(), added some japanese kanji characters and so on. Everything works great, I can insert kanji and retrieve kanji and display them just fine from my c# application, however if I try to search for kanji using a WHERE = '' or a WHERE like '' clause, it doesn't score a match. Not even a direct one.
I'm on XP using a japanese locale with IME installed. The kanji shows up in Enterprise Manager correctly, it even shows in the query for the table, yet the WHERE clause won't record a hit. Changing the collation on the field to "Japanese" or "Japanese UNICODE" doesn't seem to have any effect.
Is there something I am missing here?

Hi,
I have a table in an Access db that stores information about speech files. One of the fields in this table is called "Text" and it contains the phrase spoken in that particular speechfile.
These phrases often have characters such as the "#" sign at the end to indicate what tone of voice is used.
I am trying to create a Search where users can enter the phrase they are looking for, and will be returned the file (or combination of files) that contain this phrase.
My problem is, when I try to search for a string of text that includes the "#" I get 0 results everytime.
An example of what I am doing is this:
SELECT Speechfiles.Name FROM Speechfiles
WHERE Speechfiles.Text LIKE 'aero#'
It works fine for 'aero' or '*aero*' but whenever I try to add a character that is not a letter, it won't work.
If anyone has any ideas, I would REALLY appreciate it!!! I am completely at a loss.
Thanks so much....

I am debugging a DB maintance script which creates a table of index maintainance commands which are created separately for each index according to the level of fragmentation and other factors.
For the debugging process, I'm looking for a way to parse each command in the table without actually running them to locate any syntax errors. In other words, as if you clicked the blue check on each one.
Does such a function exist in SQL 2008 (the version I'm doing this on) or other versions?

My problem is that i can't search a field that contains Asian characters (Korean in this case).
The table user_Access_tab have 2 keys:
access_id nVarchar(50)
user_id nVarchar(50)
The sql query below is sent through a oledbcommand to a sql server 2005 database.
"select access_id, access_right from user_Access_tab where user_id ='HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 ì˜¤ì „ 11:50:323401'"
It doesn't show any hits even thogh i know there is a number of matching records.
The question doesn't generate an answer in SQL server manager studio eigher.
If i change the datatype on user_id to Varchar(50) the id is presented (in the database) as:
HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 ?? 11:50:323401
Then the question works, but why doesn't it work with nVarChar(50)?

For code reuse, I am trying to get a table valued function to return users of a given AD group name. I can easily get this with hard-coding the group name. But because OpenQuery wont accept parameters, I can't insert my group name there. And because functions can't call dynamic SQL, I can't do it via dynamic sql. I have seen people do it with CLR, but I rather not go that route. I can use a stored procedure + cursor and iterate through each group and store the results into real tables and create a cache, but I rather query Active Directory itself to save space, but I rather do the caching then the CLR. Any approach I am missing on how to do this?
The following works fine:
SELECT DISTINCT sAMAccountName
FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI, 'SELECT sAMAccountName, sn
FROM ''LDAP://OU=SomeOU,OU=SomeOtherOU,DC=SomeDC,DC=SomeOtherDC''
WHERE objectCategory=''Person'' AND objectClass=''USER'' AND memberOf=''CN=SomeGroupName,OU=SomeOU,OU=SomeOtherOU,DC=SomeDC,DC=SomeOtherDC''') a
WHERE sn IS NOT NULL
The following gives me the error:
Invalid use of a side-effecting operator 'EXECUTE STRING' within a function.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].queryADGroupMembers
(
@group nvarchar(255)
)
RETURNS @rtnTable TABLE

I'm attempting to convert some INSERT-EXEC structures into table-valued functions because the procedures are deeply nested and INSERT-EXEC doesn't like nesting (Error 3915: Cannot use the ROLLBACK statement within an INSERT-EXEC statement)
The procedure has a single select statement, so I created an inline table-valued function. When I ran it with sample data, I received this error (yes, twice):
Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
After ruling out obvious mistakes, I started to deconstruct the select statement with its CTE and TVP. The result is the following, built in my local sandbox database:
CREATE TYPE test_list AS TABLE(a int);
GO
CREATE FUNCTION test_function (@p int, @theTable test_list READONLY)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN (
WITH cte
AS (SELECT a FROM @theTable)
SELECT cte.a
FROM cte);
GO
DECLARE @t test_list;
INSERT @t VALUES(1);
SELECT * FROM test_function(1, @t);
When I run this, I get the same error as noted above. I'm running on version 10.50.4000.0, Developer Edition. (2008 R2 SP2)
The function above does just about nothing and has redundancies because I stripped the actual function down to the essential elements to cause the error. The essential elements are:
- One of the parameters is a table-valued parameter (the UDTT definition does not seem to matter)
- The SELECT statement has a CTE
- The TVP is accessed within the CTE
- The outer FROM clause references the CTE
- There is also a scalar parameter on the function (scalar type does not seem to matter).
- The scalar parameter precedes the TVP in the parameter list.
So I have an easy work-around: put the TVP first in the parameter list.

We are not allowed to write delete statement in a function. It will give the below error.

Is there any sql script using which we can find out all local paths used in job steps and output_file_name path used in advanced settings in in each job step.
Example ) if i have a job which has job steps which out file logging and I need display those jobnames,step id, and command where local paths are used. The reason I wanted to find this output because as we are going for server migration and so we need to create those paths and folders on the new server. I don't want to visit each n every job and look for local paths. That's where i am in search of the script.

I have a table adapter for one of my SQL2005 tables, and in two different fields I accept a date time. Now 99% of the times, new rows to this table will be filled out using DateTIme.Now(), as a Time Stamp is what I'm going for.
Here is the line of code in question...cops_current_data_adapter.Insert(ProductOrder, Convert.ToInt16(Session["StationId"].ToString()),
PartNumber, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now, Convert.ToInt16(qty), 0);
The second DateTime.Now is the one that can be null, and it's throwing a formatting error everytime I try and drop it in there. It's a FormatException, and there's not much more to the example except unhelpful tips like be careful when conveting a string to a dateTime, which I'm not doing. Needless to say for the code to compile, and then throw a Format error at runtime is a bit frustraiting.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated

Hello all,
I am using the ContainsTable function to search a database from my (c#) app. This works relatively well and all fields of the table are indexed and searched. That is, any column, but per record only one column.
What I mean is this: when searching for "chris 2007", I want to retrieve all items where author contains chris and year contains 2007. Currently, a search for chris brings up all items where author (or any other field) contains chris, a search for 2007 works as well, but chris 2007 fails as there is no -one- field where chris and 2007 are located.
Can anybody help me achieve this? My code is:
Code Block
SELECT FT_TBL.ID, FT_TBL.Type, FT_TBL.Author, IsNull(FT_TBL.Author, FT_TBL.Editor + ' (Ed.)') AS CorrectedAuthor, FT_TBL.Editor, FT_TBL.Title, FT_TBL.Abstract, FT_TBL.Comments, FT_TBL.Year, FT_TBL.City, FT_TBL.Publisher, FT_TBL.ISBN, FT_TBL.Pages, FT_TBL.Journal, FT_TBL.Issue, FT_TBL.Hyperlink, FT_TBL.Tags, KEY_TBL.RANK
FROM Sources AS FT_TBL
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Sources, *, @searchQuery) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC;
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I am trying to get the namepart to the left of ANY special character. To achieve this, I am thinking of replacing all the special characters with a single special character so that I can find the first occurrence of that special character and grab left of the special character (SUBSTRING/CHARINDEX). This way I don't need to loop through all the special characters.
I am expecting the following results:
