T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Start Position Of Number Value In A String
May 2, 2014
In t-sql 2008 r2, I would like to know how to select a specific string in a varchar(50) field. The field in question is called 'CalendarId'.
This field can contain values like:
xxIN187 13-14 W Elem
HS321 13-14 D Elem
IN636 13-14 C Elem
030 13-14 clark middle.
What I am looking for is the first position that contains a number value for the length of 3. Thus what I want are values that look like the following: 030, 636, 187.What I know that I want is substring(CalendarId,?,3).The question mark is where I want the starting location of a number value (0 to 9) of the value in CalendarId . I tried pathindex but my syntax did not work.
I'm trying to import a large .txt file into SQL but a regular bulk insert will not do as there are no delimiters. Each line contains roughly 1080 bytes of data that are scrunched together. (1 byte - represents one character) The only thing I know for sure is the start and end position for each column entry which is fixed-format. For example:
select top 5000 textdata,substring(textdata,charindex('exec',textdata)+5,charindex('@',textdata)-1) from trace_table where TextData like '%sp_%' and TextData like '%declare%'
Hello experts, Suddenly I find myself in need of a SQL search that ONLY starts at a record. I need to page through the existing records, but start at the users choice.
I have written a query to search for a string in an expression by the number of it's appearance. Script is like this:
DECLARE @Expression VARCHAR(8000) = 'abcd_e_fgh', @SearchString VARCHAR(10)= '_', @OccuranceNumber SMALLINT = 1 DECLARE @SearchIndex INT = 0, @SearchIndexPrevious INT = 0, @Sno INT = 0 WHILE @Sno < @OccuranceNumber BEGIN
[Code] .....
Here i'm trying to search "_" in expression "abcd_e_fgh" where it is appearing for first time. it gives me 5 correctly. Now when i change the @OccurenceNumber to 2 or 3, it gives correct values 7 and -1 respectively. However now when i change it to 4, it gives me 5. So when it's trying to check for fifth appearance of "_", it's not actually giving 0 or -1 but repeating the value 5.

Hi, I've got a situation where a table column is composed of decimal numbersthat have to be converted to whole numbers. I want to use CEILING and FLOOR functions to round them up or down, but how do I extract the part after the decimal point to evaluate which operation to apply? I don't think there is a function in sql server that looks for a position of a character within a string. I tried INSTR (the vb function) and that gave me an error msg.
I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip" or "tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip" or "airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234 123 12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.
I have a scenario where i need to get the starting and ending date time based on the crieteria. The criteria is I always have my start date as NS or GS in the data column and my end date as GX so i need NS or GS to be my strart date based on ts Ascending and my end date as GX to be displayed in the same columns .
Create Table Test (Tsq INT IDENTITY (1,1), Data Varchar (150), ts datetime, Tpkt_type int) insert into test values ('GS,000020,000021,000022,000023','2013-11-13 09:47:35.963','2')
I've SSRS sales report to which I need to pass the dates for previous month's start date and end date which I am able to pass using below code. However, since the sales report has data from the past year(2014) I need to pass the dates for last year as well. The below code gives StartDate1 as 2015-02-01 and EndDate1 as 2015-02-28. I need to get the dates for past year like 2014-02-01 as StartDate2 and 2014-02-28 as EndDate2
SELECT DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000201', GETDATE()), '19000101') AS StartDate1, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', GETDATE()), '18991231') AS EndDate1
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.
Is there a trick to getting this installed correctly? Everything works great until it gets up to starting the service. Here is the complete section of my setup log file.

I searched a previous thread dealing with this error, but seems like nobody has found a solution.
Our fiscal year starts on July 1st. Each month they call a period - so July is period 1, August is period 2, etc.
They are wanting a report that pulls numbers for a given period. There are parameters for them to select the fiscal year and the fiscal period, and then it calculates the numbers for that period. That part works fine.
Now they want me to do some calculations, and one of them is to divide one of the numbers by the # of days since the fiscal year. So if they choose July, it would be 31 days. If they choose August, it would be 61 days, etc. How can I set this up to calculate the number of days when they really aren't entering a start date, it's just a fiscal year and period.
Is there a way to calculate a date field that is 07/01/xxxx where xxxx is the fiscal year they chose? Also a way to calculate a date field that would be the last date of the month for the fiscal period and year they chose?
I suppose I could add 2 other parameters where they enter the start of the current fiscal year, and the last day of the period they're running it for, and use a datediff to calculate that. Just seems kind of redundant.
Let's assume that I input a gap value of 5. I need to fill in the data between the Record 1 and Record 2 by increment of 5 as specified in the input parameter on the counter column.
For example using Record 1 and Record 2, here are the additional data needs to be inserted into the table.
1234510.1 --> Record 1 1235010.1 1235510.1 1236010.1 1236510.1 1237010.5 --> Record 2 1237510.5 1238010.5 1238510.5 123909.7 --> Record 3
Currently, I am using a cursor to read from the table and select MIN counter from the table. Then use a LOOP to fill in the gap and insert it into another table. I have over 10000 records and after fill up the gap, I might end up with even more records. Just want to see if I can get any other efficient way to achieve this.
why I want to fill in the gap, I need to calculate the average value for my record set after considering all valid data points in between.
SQL Server (TSQL) how to divide a number by either 2,3,4, or 6 and spreading it across that number of rows depending on what we are dividing the number by where it comes back to the original number...That is confusing I know so let me break it down...
Bill for 143.23 that will be paid out through 2 months...When you divide that by 2, you come back with 71.62, but if you multiply that number by 2, you come back with 143.24, not the amount for the bill...the end result has to be 71.62 for month1 and 71.61 for month2...Basically when there is a remainder, that has to be applied to the first month...
143.23: Month1 = 71.62 Month2 = 71.61
Another example...Same amount but have to divide by 6
I need creating date of birth using ID number the ouput that im looking is a follows
e.g. RSA ID: 800101 (80 is year, 01 is month and 01 is day) that will be 1980 01 01 e.g. RSA ID: 000101 (00 is year, 01 is month and 01 is day) that will be 2000 01 01
The desired format I need is to take the above and create date of birth with the below format as required by the application used.
I seem to always get the "Fun Stuff" to try and figure out. I have an entire table that was pumped out of Oracle. I even hate saying that word!
There are a couple columns that are Float data type, and they are storing phone numbers as a Float data type. I am not able to CAST these into anything that is legible.
This is one of the values that I made up that look like some of the others.
I'm trying to do a simple insert into a table, something like this:
insert into sometable (ID, somecolumn) select 'Task-ID', somevalue from SomeOtherTable where something = 'someothervalue' (or something to that effect)
So, the SELECT would generate something that looks like this:
What I don't know is, how do I programatically generate the number sequence? Note: I do not have admin rights to the table, i.e. I cannot just change a column to IDENTITY.
Also the 'Task-ID' must remain part of the ID; in other words, I can't just generate a GUID, and it needs to be easily identifiable.
What I'm hoping to do is rewrite my SQL like this:
insert into sometable (ID, somecolumn) select 'Task-ID.' + (generated seq #), somevalue from SomeOtherTable where something = 'someothervalue'
--From the rows I want to know how many number of days a person was active for the given date range.
create table [dbo].[personstatus] ( id int identity(1,1), name varchar(100), DateAdded date, InactivationDate date ) ; insert into [dbo].[personstatus] values
[Code] ....
--The output I am looking for. /* 1) FromDt = '2014-01-01' ToDt ='2014-01-30' KRISS = 7 VDENTI = 7 days
I am using SQL Server 2008 as a back end for a Microsoft Access front end. I have created a report that is essentially a Bill Of Lading. The detail section lists all the purchase orders that are being shipped on a single load. The problem with the Access Report is that I always need a set number of records (8) so that the layout is consistent. So, if the query returns 5 records, I need an additional 3 blank records returned with the recordset. If there are 2 records, I need an additional 6, and so on. For simplicity sake the query is:
SELECT tblBOL.PONumber FROM tblBOL WHERE tblBOL.BOLNumber=@BOLNumber;Now, I can get the results I want by using a union query for the "extra" records.
For instance, if there are 6 records returned for BOLNumber '12345', I can get the expected results by this query:
SELECT tblBOL.PONumber FROM tblBOL WHERE tblBOL.BOLNumber='12345' UNION ALL SELECT '12345',Null UNION ALL SELECT '12345',Null;
Another solution would be to create a temporary table with the "extra" records and then have only one Union statement. Not sure which is better, but I'm not really sure how to programmatically do either of these. I'm guessing I need to do it in a stored procedure. How do I programmatically create these extra records? One other note.... If there are more than 8 records, I need to return 8 of these "blank" records and none of the real records (hard to explain the reason behind this, but it has to do with the report being only a summary when there are more than 8 records while the actual records will go on a different supplemental report).
with Sample(Size) as ( select '16.3 Oz.' union all '1' as union all '2 Tablespoons' union all '46. Oz. Each' )
Iwant to separate number and alphabets. But i wanted to keep the dot to have decimal values. Expected output
select '16.3' as val1 'Oz' as val2 union all '1' val1 as union all '2' as val1 'Tablespoons' as val2 union all '46' as val1 'Oz Each' as val2
Please note that i need to remove the extra dots at the end of the the val1 and no dots in val2
I rid some of the functions like dbo.fn_StripCharacters and dbo.fn_GetAlphabetsOnly ffound in the internet. evey with my own logic. i couldn't remove the dot which appear at the end of val1
I need to find the missing months in a table for the earliest and latest start dates per ID_No. As an example:
create table #InputTable (ID_No int ,OccurMonth datetime) insert into #InputTable (ID_No,OccurMonth) select 10, '2007-11-01' Union all select 10, '2007-12-01' Union all select 10, '2008-01-01' Union all select 20, '2009-01-01' Union all select 20, '2009-02-01' Union all select 20, '2009-04-01' Union all select 30, '2010-05-01' Union all select 30, '2010-08-01' Union all select 30, '2010-09-01' Union all select 40, '2008-03-01'
I'm writing a query that will be used in Jasper Ireports, but prefer to have the values done ahead of time using SQL rather than relying on the report to do the lifting.The fields are pretty straight forward, only the display is where I have a question.
Fields Used: PERIOD ('MON-yyyy') and VALUE
The results must start with the CURRENT PERIOD (AUG-2014) in one column and the VALUE for the current period multiplied by 1/12 (VALUE*(1/12)).The next column should return the VALUE for CURRENT PERIOD - 1 (JUL-2014) and multiply by 2/12 (VALUE*(2/12))
This should continue for the last 11 months and would end with OCT-2013 with the value being multiplied (VALUE*(11/12)).Is the easiest solution to this a CASE statement looking at PERIOD then PERIOD minus one month, minus two months...etc?
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.
