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

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?

I am working with a large amount of text data in a single column. I am in the process of pumping that column of data into a delimited text file. The data in the column has new line characters that I need to remove. I need to data to be in a single line in the text file.
So far the things that I have tried are not working. What I try for removing the new line characters?

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).

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.

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?

There are plenty of scripts to do this on a per-DB level, but any that will allow me to generate a script for all DB's at once? Mine are split across dozens and it would be much easier to do a loop (using MS_ForeachDB ? )

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<<<<

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 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.

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.

Hi, I need to make a query that, according to the value of a field, returns an specified value.
ie:
TABLE:

I need to make a query like:
SELECT (????) FROM TABLE
and if Col1=1 returns 'Assigned' and if Col2=0 it returns 'Unassigned'
So the result from the query for the data above is:
Assigned
Unassigned
Thankx

I have two tables. A table called users (content speaks by it self) and a table called groups.
Since i want every user to be able to be a member of several groups and, of course, a group to have several users i have made a junction table called jt.
The junction table contains userId's and groupId's according to the user-group bindings. The primary key(identity) in the junction table is a int named jtId.
Now i want to take out all posts from the junctiontable and the corrresponding userName (s) from the users-table and the corresponding groupName from the groups-table.
Can somebody please help me to make a SQL command that will di that for me. I have tried with INNER JOIN and several SELECTS in the same command.
Thanks in advance, Greetings from Esben

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
first
second
not
I hope this makes sense. Any help is appreciated.

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

I have to parse a sentence into separate words. This has to be done in a Stored Proc.
If the sentence is: "The sun is rising". Then I want to store the words "The" "sun" "is" "rising" into 4 separate variables. (The separator is a space).
Has someone already written something like this before? I do not want to re-invent the wheel.
Thankx.
