I have a table with a varchar column that is delimited by char(227)+char(228)
i.e.,

Looking for split function that accepts a multiple character value as a delimiter?
declare @var varchar(8000)
set @var='Name1~50~20~50@Name2~25.5~50~63@Name3~30~80~43@Name4~60~80~23'
---------------------
Create table #tmp(id int identity(1,1),Name varchar(20),Value1 float,Value2 float,Value3 float)
Insert into #tmp (Name,Value1,Value2,Value3)
Values ('Name1',50,20,50 ), ('Name2',25.5,50,63 ), ('Name3',30,80,43 ), ('Name4',60,80,23)
select * from #tmp
I want to convert to @var to same like #tmp table ..
"@" - delimiter goes to rows
"~" - delimiter goes to columns
I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last
I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.
Split function. I have records of multiple users, the last value of every record is a contact number (10 Digits- Numeric), I want a split function which can take the whole text and split the records on the basis of contact number.
In order words i want SQL to locate the contact number and move to the next record after that and so on till the end of the text.

I am trying to replace all special characters in a column with one special character.
Example:
Table: dbo.Employee
Column: Name
Name
-------
edwardneuman!"<]
mikemoreno)'>$:
JeffJensen"?>"
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:
Name
-------
edwardneuman<<<<
mikemoreno<<<<<
JeffJensen<<<<
I would like to have records in my Absences table split up into multiple records in my query based on a start and end date.
A random record in my Absences table shows (as an example):
resource: 1
startdate: 2014-08-20 09:00:00.000
enddate: 2014-08-23 13:00:00.000
hours: 28 (= 8 + 8 + 8 + 4)
I would like to have 4 lines in my query:
resource date hours
1 2014-08-20 8
1 2014-08-21 8
1 2014-08-22 8
1 2014-08-23 4
Generating the 4 lines is not the issue; I call 3 functions to do that together with cross apply.One function to get all dates between the start and end date (dbo.AllDays returning a table with only a datevalue column); one function to have these dates evaluated against a work schedule (dbo.HRCapacityHours) and one function to get the absence records (dbo.HRAbsenceHours) What I can't get fixed is having the correct hours per line.
What I now get is:
resource date hours
...
1 2014-08-19 NULL
1 2014-08-20 28
1 2014-08-21 28
1 2014-08-22 28
1 2014-08-23 28
1 2014-08-24 NULL
...
... instead of the correct hours per date (8, 8, 8, 4).
A very simplified extract of my code is:
DECLARE @startdate DATETIME
DECLARE @enddate DATETIME
SET @startdate = '2014-01-01'
SET @enddate = '2014-08-31'
SELECTh.res_id AS Resource,
t.datevalue,
(SELECT ROUND([dbo].[HRCapacityHours] (h.res_id, t.datevalue, t.datevalue), 2)) AS Capacity,
(SELECT [dbo].[HRAbsenceHours] (9538, h.res_id, t.datevalue, t.datevalue + 1) AS AbsenceHours
FROMResources h (NOLOCK)
CROSS APPLY (SELECT * FROM [dbo].[AllDays] (@startdate, @enddate)) t
p.s.The 9538 value in the HRAbsenceHours function refers to the absences-workflowID.I can't get this solved.
Hi,
I get a string whihc looks like 'Q306/Q406 Version1/Current/Q108 Version2'
I need to split the above string and get each of those values... ' / ' delimiter
Can some one please help on this.
Thanks
I have a gazillion text files, each with dozens of records. The fields are pipe-delimited, the end of each record is marked by ASCII char code 28.
example:
05|11900307|1|CO|Gervais|Neil|NG8880|F|540|0|0|0|T|0|||F|||F 05|11900307|2|AO|MARSHALL|BRAD|BM7843|F|510|60|0|0|T|0|||F|||F
The " " is the Chr(28). The line above should parse into 2 rows...
**** time passes ****
An interesting discovery - if I paste that " " directly into the row delimiter box, without quotes or brackets, I get two records!
So I found at least one answer.
Is there another?
TIA
I have a date file with no delimiter like bellow
0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
I just know 5 first number in a line is for example "ID of bank"
or 6th and 7th number in a line is for example "ID of employee"
How can I create a XML format file?
The input is like this : xxxxxxxx=yyyyy=key_id=12345xyxyx
I would like to use the right function and get 12345xyxyx alone. The function must search for the first '=' symbol from the right of the word and get the characters from the end till the '=' symbol.
Here's a question for the SQL gurus out there:
I have a varchar(20) field DIAGNOSISCODE in a table that can either be null, or contain up to 3 comma-separated codes, each of which relates to a description in another table. For example, some sample rows might be
8060
8060,4450
8060,4123,3245
Now I need to structure a query to return these values from this single field as three fields CODE1, CODE2, CODE3, with NULL as appropriate for example
CODE1=8060, CODE2=4450, CODE3=NULL.
I have been using CASE along with CHARINDEX and PATINDEX but it it becoming extremely messy. Can anyone think of a "neater" way to return three fields from this one field?
Any help very greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Simon.
I have a column that returns client numbers.
The client numbers are 4-6 characters in length. A period (.) is added to the end of the client number, and then one last digit (1-4) is affixed at the end to denote a categorization.
In SQL, I need to figure out how to divide these results into two columns, one for the client number and one for the categorization number.
EG: client #4334.1 would become 4334 for client # and 1 for categorization number
or
Client #424561.3 would become 424561 for Client # and 3 for categorization number.
I have to strip out the period in the process and leave myself with just the numeric characters divided into two columns.
Ive been researching my brains out on string queries and substring queries and I can't figure out how to parse out the period and/or to have SQL understand that I need everything BEFORE the period for one column and everything AFTER the period for the second.
Is it possible to do this? I really need help on this one.
Thank you :)
Hi,
I have a function which takes a string and a delimter. It then splits the string by the delimter and returns a table of resultant strings:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[vs_SplitTags] (@sep char(1), @s varchar(512))
RETURNS table
AS
RETURN (
WITH Pieces(pn, start, stop) AS
(
SELECT 1, 1, CHARINDEX(@sep, @s)
UNION ALL
SELECT pn + 1, stop + 1, CHARINDEX(@sep, @s, stop + 1)
FROM Pieces
WHERE stop > 0
)
SELECT pn,
SUBSTRING(@s, start, CASE WHEN stop > 0 THEN stop-start ELSE 512 END) AS s
FROM Pieces
)
This works very well, other than instances of the delimter are, themselves, considered to be results. For example:
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', 'foo bar') AS result
returns:
pn s
1 foo
2 bar
which is exactly the result I would want.
However,
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', ' foo bar ') AS result -- There are spaces before 'foo' and after 'bar'
returns
pn s
1
2 foo
3 bar
4
And
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', 'foo bar') AS result -- There are two spaces between 'foo' and 'bar'
returns
pn s
1 foo
2
3
4 bar
I want the function to ignore whitespace altogether, be it a single space or multiple spaces. Other than to delimit the boundries between words, of course.
In other words, all three examples above should produce the same result:
pn s
1 foo
2 bar
How can I do this? Any thoughts much appreciated...

So I would like to split rows in my query based on if they match criteria and I really havent dealt with splitting in SQL only combining(which is usually what everybody does lol)
So for instance my query results is this
SOPNUMBER TAX TOTAL
14-123456 $500.00
I want to display full name column as FirstName and LastName.
Eg if Full Name is Abhas Jadhav then i want to convert it into FirstName- Abhas and LastName - Jadhav
i.e. Before Space is FirstName and After Space is LastName.

I'm trying to create a report and chart for a a manufacturing resource's activity for a given period (typically 30-90 days)
Jobs are created for the length of the run (e.g. 4 days). If the weekend is not worked and the above jobs starts on a Friday, the resource's activity needs to show 1 day running, 2 days down, 3 days running without the production scheduler having to make it two jobs. (A job can have multiple interruptions due to downtime). I have the jobs' schedules in one table and the downtimes in another (so think of the downtime as a calendar table--non working hours). Unusually, the end time is supplied with the downtime factored in.
So I need the query to create 3 datetime ranges for this job: Fri running, Sat,Sun down, Mon,Tues,Wed Running. Been going round in circles on this for a while. i'm sure there's an elegant way to do it: I just can't find it. I've found several similar post, but can't apply any to my case (or at least can;t get them to work)
Below is some sample date and expected results. I hope the explanation and example data is clear.
-- Create tables to work with / Source and Destination
CREATE TABLE #Jobs
(
ResourceID int
,JobNo VARCHAR(10)

,enddate SMALLDATETIME

The data we are getting from our shipping company has the customer name and customer number attached.
so we could have.. declare @String varchar(25) = 'asdf - 10'
but we also have.. declare @String varchar(25) = 'asdf - jeik - 10'
So how do I strip off the " - 10", when the ending number is not the same number of char's (1,11,111,1111, ect)
I need to match this up with our customer table... on Customer Name.
I have a column with the following information in it. I need to split the column and parse the values. I have Parsed one single values from but, not multiple times.
<TV<MR1#4.0#true#2.0#USD>VT>,<TV<MR2#3.0#true#1.5#USD>VT>,<TV<MR3#0.0#true#0.0#USD>VT>,<TV<MR4#0.375#true#0.19#USD>VT>
MR1 -Model Code,
4.0 - Percentage,
true - isAbs,
2.0 - AppliedValue --> This is Actual amount applied as tax.
USD - Currency
For the example provide , the totalTaxValue would be 2.0 + 1.5+0.0+0.19 = 3.69

I have an database that is housing a path used to locate an external file. This application was written many years ago and I am now trying to bring the files into the database as a VARBINARY.

In my Select statement I have
SELECT ProdID, REPLACE (PATH, /, ) FROM dbo.blahblah
The problem is that I can't figure out to make SQL understand that "/" is the character I want to replace.
best possible way to remove all the characters after a 3rd repetition of a character?
For Example:
I want 10.0.1600.22 to be 10.0.1600
Everything after and including the '.' to be removed.
I understand Substring_Index() is not available whats the other options?

Is there any split function in sql server 2005. I just want to pass a string to a stored procedure. it should split that string when it encounters a space. for ex, consider the string " the intel mother board" it should give "the,intel,mother,board" as result.
i am working on a small project, that I have found that someone is storing a float as a varchar(). But there are also some actual words in the same column.
I am trying to determine how I can select only the rows with alphabetical characters in that column.
Some of the data is:
1.5008e+015
1.54453e+015
1.51922e+015
1.51922e+015
1.52243e+015
but there is a mix of alphabetical characters in there as well.
1.51922e+015
1.53122e+015
FMCIT
ABCNP
FMCPNG
1.62073e+015
1.6127e+015
I want to be able to select the rows with only the alphabetical characters. There is a huge mix, and I am assuming that every first letter is one of the 26 alphabetical character used. How can I write a query to use a REGEX to select any and all rows that cannot be CAST as a Float? I have nill to no experience using REGEX.
I have some sql results coming out as a string when it is a bunch of numbers separated with a coma. (1,2,3). I need to insert this figures as separate numbers in separate rows into a table in a database. How do I split them and how do I input them. I tried using a loop and it works well in an asp page but I need to do that in sql.

Hi,
I am trying to write a stored procedure that takes a comma separated letter. I have a split function that returns the splitted letters. I have select some values from the tables in the database where the title starts with each splitted letter. I thought I should use cursor that contains each letter and in the while loop i put my select statement with the conditions.
Is this the correct way. Or are there any ideas for this?
thanks,
