We have an address table with a house_num field which is a nvarchar.
Most of house numbers are numbers like 1234, 0989
But some of them have a letter behind it like 678 B, 8909 F, even some like this 123/B
We would like to remove any non-numeric letter for this column.
Is there a way to do it?
I am putting a SELECT statement together where I need to evaluate a results field, to determine how the color indicator will show on a SSRS report. I am running into a problem when I try to filter out any non-numeric values from a varchar field, using a nested CASE statement.
For example, this results field may contain values of '<1', '>=1', '1', '100', '500', '5000', etc. For one type of test, I need a value of 500 or less to be shown as a green indicator in a report, and any value over that would be flagged as a red. Another test might only allow a value of 10 or less before being flagged with a red.
This is why I setup a CASE statement for an IndicatorValue that will pass over to the report to determine the indicator color. Using CASE statements for this is easier to work with, and less taxing on the report server, if done in SQL Server instead of nested SSRS expressions, especially since a variety of tests have different result values that would be flagged as green or red.
I have a separate nested CASE statement that will handle any of the values that contain ">" or "<", so I am using the following to filter those out, and then convert it to an int value, to determine what the indicator value should be. Here is the line of the script that is erring out"
case when (RESULT not like '%<%') or (RESULT not like '%>%') then
CASE WHEN (CONVERT(int, RESULT) between 0 and 500) THEN '2'
ELSE '0'
The message I am getting is: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '<1' to data type int.
I thought a "not like" statement would not include those values for converting to an int, but that does not seem to be working correctly. I did also try moving the not to show as "not RESULT like", and that did not change the message.
How I can filter out non-numeric values before converting the rest of the varchar field (RESULT) to int, so that it is only converting actual numbers?
If a Select is done on a column whose data type is nvarchar(16) and contains only numerals (UPC numbers) the select does not return the record.
1. Query with numerals in nvarchar column works as long as multiple records are returned (LIKE '012%')
2. Numeric (INT only one tested) columns works as expected
3. String columns with alpha data works as expected
4. Problem only exist when running in Device Emulator and/or actual device.
5. Same test on desktop app runs as expected.
6. Windows Mobile 6, Vista Ultimate
7. Same results when when connection to device from SSMS
8. SQL Servers comes on

I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Import_CustomerSales](
[CustomerId] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CustomeName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CustomerSales] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
The source column is varchar(1) but i need this as nvarchar(1).. How can I cast this as NVARCHAR...

Hi,
I have a little bit of a problem I cannot seem to figure it out. Is it possible to write a Select statement that contains a WHERE column_name > desired_numeric_value
The tricky part it that the column is of CHAR type and can contain numeric grades ranging from 0-100 or the letter I for Incomplete.
My SQL was working perfect when this column contained only numbers as soon as a record with I was added I get the following error:
Character to numeric conversion error
This report will be used to find students who have failing grades. Thanks for any help!
Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value - I've narrowed it down to this specifically, populating with non nvarchar text seems to work fine.To re-create the problem quickly...If I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text')then there is no problem, I get results as expected.However if I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max)))no results are ever returned.Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.

UPDATE: Below is a T-SQL script you can run to demonstrate the effect I'm experiencing...
Code Snippet
-- Create test database
CREATE DATABASE FullTextTest
GO
USE FullTextTest
GO
-- Create test data table
CREATE TABLE TestTable
(
pk UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL CONSTRAINT tablePK PRIMARY KEY,
varbinarycol VARBINARY(MAX),

-- The below single entry WILL BE FOUND (the text source is being entered directly)
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX),'<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 1'), '.html')
-- The bellow two entries below WILL NOT BE FOUND (the text source is taken from an NVARCHAR(MAX) value)
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 2' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html')
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 3' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html')
GO

GO
-- NOTE: You might need to give the catalog a chance to build before running the script below.
-- Now do a search that SHOULD RETURN 3 ROWS of data, but ONLY 1 ROW IS RETURNED
SELECT CAST(varbinarycol AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) FROM TestTable WHERE CONTAINS(varbinarycol, 'test')
find below object and data:
create table #StuDetails(City varchar(25),StuStatus varchar(25), currentValue int,Week1 int,week2 int,week3 int,week4 int)
insert into #StuDetails values('A','new',13,10,0,0,12)
insert into #StuDetails values('B','Old',10,10,41,0,12)
insert into #StuDetails values('C','Fail',10,9,0,0,5)
select * from #StuDetails
Output of above is display as:
CityStuStatuscurrentValueWeek1week2week3week4
Anew 13 10 0 0 12
BOld 10 10 41 0 12
CFail 10 9 0 0 5
Now for columns Week1 to week3 if value is 0 then i want to display by searching next week value, if it is also 0 then go for next week and if value found there then display instead of zero. so my output would be as below instead of above.
CityStuStatuscurrentValueWeek1week2week3week4

BOld 10 10 41 12 12
CFail 10 9 5 5 5
We have 2 tables (table a and b)
select a.* from table a inner join table b
on a.col1<> b.col2
I would like to have column names where the values are not matching.
Give this data set;
declare @BO table (Col1 varchar(50), Col2 varchar(50))
insert into @BO values
('01','009920140516102116'),
('071710811019600001000005',''),

How to resolve the below task
create table #temp ( idx int identity(1,1), col1 int, col2 int )
Here i want a flag success or fail on basis of below conditions.
I need to take all the col1 values and then i need to compare to each other.
if any difference found, i need to check difference more than 30, then it should raise the flag as "Failure".
if all the col1 values are ok , then we need to check Col2 values same as above.
--case 1
insert into #temp(col1,col2)
select 16522,18522
union all
select 16522,18522
union all
select 16582,18522
--select * from #temp
--truncate table #temp
Because of difference in col1 values . the value of flag should be fail.
--case 2
insert into #temp(col1,col2)
select 16522,18522
union all
select 16522,18522
union all
select 16522,17522
Here also the col1 is ok but col2 values have difference so it should be Fail.
Otherwise it should be success.
I'm trying to divide two values from separate rows. Each row is a separate UNION statement.
2014-08-03 00:00:00.000NKBB (N) - Total Offers 1218 UNION (A)
2014-08-03 00:00:00.000NKBB (N) - With Lead 301 UNION (B)
2014-08-03 00:00:00.000NKBB (N) - Without Leads 917 UNION (C)
In the below example, I would like to divide KBB (N) - With Lead (UNION (B)/KBB (N) - Total Offers UNION (A)
What would be the best way to accomplish this?
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 am working with a table that has a column which stores multiple data/values that are comma separated.
I need to be able to query that table and get those rows where the values in that column match a pre-defined search list.
I was thinking of somehow trying to take the search list and convert it to a table(temp or a cte) and then JOIN to the table.
however, since the column may contain multiple values, i would need to parse/separate that first. I am not sure how to parse and then join to a list (if that is even the best way to solve this) to only get the rows where the search column contains one or more of the items we're looking for.
Below is some sample data:
Declare @BaseTable table (PKCol int, Column2Search varchar(2000))

Select 1002, 'grapefruit,coconut'

Hi,
I used to work with Sql 2000 and I could easily import a text file into my database and then convert the fields (all nvarchar) to appropriate data types. However, this procedure does not work with Sql 2005.
After I import a text file to Sql 2005 and when I convert nvarchar to numeric, I get "Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric".
Could you please let me know how can I fix this issue. Thanks in advance for your reply.
I have a table with a column AttributeNumber and a column AttributeValue. The data is like this:
OrderNo. AttributeNumber AttributeValue
1.-Order_1 2001 A
2.-Order_1 2002 B
3.-Order_1 2003 C
4.-Order_2 2001 A
5.-Order_2 2002 B
6.-Order_2 2003 C
So the logic is as follows:
I need to display in my query the values are coming from Order_1, means AttributreValues coming from AttibuteNumbers: 2001,2002,2003...and Order_2 the same thing.

I have to store the result of a calculation in a column of type CHAR(7) (and am unable to change the column type).
The calculation can have results ranging in size from 0.1234567 to 99999999.
In the first case, I would need to store the value of 0.12345 in the column. In the later case, an error should be thrown.
So I need to store all of the significant digits from the left of the decimal (if there are < 7) and as many of the digits to the right as will fit into a CHAR(7), with the remaining precision being truncated.
the select statement in the join orders the numbers asc and if you run everything below the case statement it works, but as you run the whole thing the order is no longer there.
I need the order to work. What am I missing?

I have a stored procedure that returns XML using FOR XML Explicit. I need to use the output of this procedure in another procedure, and modify the xml output before it is saved somewhere.
Say StoredProc1 is the one returning xml output and StoredProc2 needs to consume the output of StoredProc1
I declared a nvarchar(max) variable and trying to saved the result of StoredProc1
Declare @xml nvarchar(max)
EXEC @xml = StoredProc1 @Id
This doesn't work as expected as @xml doesn't get any value assigned or rather I would say
EXEC @xml = StoredProc1 @Id
outputs the entire xml whereas it should just save the xml in a variable.
