T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Using Like In A Replace Cast Sentence?

Jul 16, 2014

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[instructions](
[site_no] [int] NOT NULL,
[instructions] [text] NULL
)
Select top 3 * from instructions

Output

Site_no Instructions
20 Request PIN#510 then proceed
21 Request PIN#987 if wrong request name
22 Request PIN#688 allowed to use only numbers

All text instructions start with “Request PIN#XXX” also after that the text are different for every site_no

I need insert in all site_no rows and after the “Request PIN#XXX” the text “and codeword” keeping the current rest of text

How can I set e REPLACE CAST sentence using something LIKE PIN%%%%

To get these type of results

site_no instructions
----------- ----------------------------------------------------
20 Request PIN#510 and codeword then proceed
21 Request PIN#987 and codeword if wrong request name
22 Request PIN#688 and codeword allowed to use only numbers

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Using CAST Or CONVERT To Change Data From String To Datetime?

Apr 16, 2014

i am trying to take a field that has part of a date in it, so I have to parse it out as follows:

SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)

This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.

From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.

When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."

CAST((SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)) as datetime)

I also tried CONVERT(datetime, (SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)), and got the same message.

how I can parse that field, then convert it to a datetime format for running a DATEDIFF statement?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Enhanced Find And Replace Function

Apr 17, 2014

I'm looking for a way to pull off a complex find+replace within some code, as follows:

@step_name = N'SAME - OCF Collins (Tabard)', @command = N'DTSRun /~Z0x5F4F7B0688825E7544AC46CFD664F98AC ', @database_name = N'

We have over 200 variants of the above, but following the same syntax (@step_name, Dbname, @Command etc...

Rules:

1) Note the unique identifier "~Z0x5F4F7B0688825E7544AC46CFD664F98AC". I would like it replaced for whatever is between "@step_name = N'" , and @command = N'DTSRun ; (this will form a filename).

2) Note the 'DTSRun /' string. I'd like that replaced with Dtexec /F "D:MyFileLocationFolderHere" (this folder remains constant).

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace A Special Character In Results?

Jun 11, 2014

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.

The table is holding the path like this "/folder/folder/file"

I am trying to convert that path to "folderfolderfile"

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.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace String After Specific Index

Mar 23, 2015

I 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) :: Replace Multiple Characters With Single Character In A Column?

Jun 21, 2012

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<<<<

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace Multiple Characters Based On Table Values

Dec 12, 2014

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;

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Replace Column With Another Column When It Does Not Exist

Jun 24, 2014

I have a script that loops through a series of tables to send data to a table from each of the tables. My issue is that not all tables have the columns I need in them. What I would like is to replace the column with another column when it does not exist. Something like below

Select Misisng_Column(A.Name, replace with B.Name) as Name
FROM SomeTable A
Cross Join (Select Name FROM AnotherTable) B

AnotherTable has one record in it. To avoid a Cartesian issue. Like I said just an example

In my real script the table aliased as A is from a list of tables in a sys.tables query that loops through to the end.

Help In Spliting A Sentence Into Words

Hi,

I have a project in which I have about 20,000 records in sql database table.

What I would like to do is generate a query that lists all the unique words in a particular field acros the entire table so as to generate a glossary of words.

if we had a table that looked like


ID Description

001 This is the first record

002 This is the second record

003 This is not the first record


and the query was run on the description field, then the result I would like to see is

This
is
the

Most Efficient Way To Highlight Words In A Sentence

Mar 1, 2005

Hi All,

I want to give the users the ability to highlight words in sentences on the page in different colors.

Please see link below for an example(watch out for URL wrapping):

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:fKHSRIxERbUJ:www.codeguru.com/columns/DotNet/article.php/c6603/+XML+serialization+in+.net&hl=en

My MASTER table that contains text is very simple:
TEXT_ID INT
TEXT varchar

I was thinking of something like creating another table to keep track of selection criteria:
USER_NAME varchar // keeps track of which user made the selection
TEXT_ID INT // points to the text id in the MASTER table
START_POS INT // start position of the selection
END_POS INT // end position of the selection
COLOR INT // color of the selection

The thing I don't like about this method, is if user(s) have many words higlighted in the sentences, this table may get very large.

I also thought of maybe combining START_POS, END_POS & COLOR into comma delimited entries:

EX: 1:5:240, 25:30:125 // START_POS:END_POS:COLOR

The thing I don't like about this method, the parsing calculations may take a while to execute.

My goal is to stream as much text data as possible and make it as fast as possible. How does Google or any one else do it?

P.S. Having a copy of a MASTER table with HTML tags in TEXT field is not an option.

Thanks,
Vlad
