TSQL - Trim String Containing Both Data And Value Into 2 Separate Data Fields

Aug 20, 2007

Hi!
Need help with this one:
I have a column with a string composed by several data. After using REPLACE several times, I get something like the data below, which has (in most of cases) a value and a date.








378 9/05

388 9/05

4/05

1/06 606

1/06 646

76 5/05

100 1/05

118 8/05

129 8/05

9/05 342

05/3 123

1/07

4/06 164
The problem is that I need to get each value alone (to separate columns), in example:
Value Date
378 09/2005
388 09/2005
0 04/2005
...
606 01/2006

and so on...
In addittion you can see that sometimes the Value come first or alone, and sometimes the Date come first or alone.

I will appreciate any good ideas,
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.

Contact Form - Variable Number Of Input Fields, Store Data As Xml String ?

Jul 13, 2007

Im trying to determine the best way to store data gathered from a form that a user will fill out online.  The form is dynamic and is customized at run time based on group-specific criteria.  The end result is a form that might have 3 extra text boxes, 2 extra sets of radio buttons and a freeform textbox, whereas for another group, there might be a slightly different set of input fields.   Now comes the issue of storing this data.  Since the fields can be somewhat dynamic, it could get tricky to define table columns for each possible input field.  So Im considering storing the data as xml.  Has anyone else had to build custom forms and ended up storing the data as xml ?

Trim Data From Left And Right

Mar 28, 2008

Guys,
I need to cleanup a query on Item Numbers.
I don't want to edit the data... just display it clean.

I want to show ItemNumbers without any 'S' on the left, and without any '501' or '601' on the right.

What do you think is my best bet fot getting this?
I was thinking about using TRIM, but maybe that's just for whitespace.

Trim - Cannot Change Source Of Data To Strip Out Special Chars / White Space?

Feb 12, 2015

I have some sql below..

SELECT
t.Doctor, t.LedgerAmount, t.TransactionDate,
ISNULL(lg.LedgerGrpDesc, 'No Sales Group') AS LedgerGroup
FROM
Transactions t
LEFT OUTER JOIN LedgerGroups lg ON t.LedgerDescription = lg.dbLedgerDesc

[Code] .....

My problem is that the data in t.LedgerDescription sometimes now has either leading/trailing white space or more likely special chars so the join against lg.dbLedgerDesc doesn't always work.

I can't change the source of the data to strip out special chars/white space so am stuck on how to deal with it.

I tried using LTRIM & RTRIM in the where clause but this doesn't seem to have had any effect...

LEFT OUTER JOIN LedgerGroups lg ON LTRIM(RTRIM(t.LedgerDescription)) = lg.dbLedgerDesc

Subreports: Parameter Value Dropdown Shows Sum And Count Fields But Not The Actual Data Fields.

Jan 28, 2008


I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.

I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.

For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.

When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.

Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sirisha

Concatenating Data From Separate Rows

Jul 23, 2013

Ok, I have three tables worth of data. They basically hold data that is keyed into a system for potential clients and include stuff like names, weights, classes of weight, addresses etc.

The main table that holds data on a record by record basis is set up like this:

Tbl_prospect
Prospect_id (PK, unique)
Prospect_batch_id(unique)
Prospect_record_num
Client_code

This table contains the batches (or collections of the data above). Basically a collection of bills is called a batch, so if a batch has 18 bills in it, those 18 bills are keyed and assigned the prospect_batch_id above.

Tbl_prospect_batch
Prospect_batch_id (PK, unique)
Prospect_batch_num

This is the table that contains the various weights and classes for the individual records in the first table (tbl_prospect):

Tbl_prospect_clwt
Prospect_clwt_id (pk, unique)
Prospect_id(unique)
Class
weight

Generally without worrying about the multiple classes and weights it's easy to just join all three tables and pull the fields I need, but now that I have to get multiple classes and weights I have no clue how to actually grab them and delimit them with a comma.

I think I'm only going to be working on tbl_prospect and tbl_prospect_clwt, and if I put a filter in place for the prospect_batch_id I can see the individual record in tbl_prospect as well as the multiple classes and weights in the clwt table, as seen here:

So record 18 of that batch is comprised of two shipments, one that is class 100/weight 1623 and one that is class 70/weight 438, just not sure how to actually grab both of those for each record and delimit them.

Separate Data Stuff From Applications

Jan 22, 2007



Hi,

This is probably for most of you a very basic question. My goal is to define in a seperate instance from application all infos related to DataSets and DataAdapters that are needed when connecting to a specific database. Why?

First, I would like to be able to have in a single instance everything needed when hooking to a SQL Server Express database and in an other everything needed when hooking to a SQL Server CE database. Then, from application, I would like to be able following a few basic configuration steps to choose from one or the other, or even both in specific cases.

Second, I want to be able to seperate Database related stuff from application so that I can re-use everything from any other application when needed.

I've read several books, articles on the subject and would like to have your opinion as several approaches were illustrated through them. What would you use for this:

- Component class?

- Class library?

- or else?

Any good articles on the subject?



Thanks in advance for sharing,

Stéphane

BETWEEN With Date/Time In Separate Fields

Apr 22, 2008

My group is working on a project for school and neither of us have much experience with SQL or ASP. We are pretty much just writing an SQL query to get the data in a certain date range and using ASP to write the tables with the data in it.

Our problem is the SQL database has separate fields for date and time. There is nothing we can do about this because the VB.NET program that populates the tables automatically does this. We can't figure out how to do the BETWEEN statement when they are separate fields. We can do it for a date range and it works fine. An example of what we want to do is show the data from 11:00 am on 04/01/2008 until 4:00pm 04/03/2008.

Does anyone have any idea what we can do? I really want to learn this but it's frustrating because we can't seem to get much help at school.

Report Viewer To Get Data From RS Deployed On Separate Network.

Apr 13, 2007

Hi,



I am using Reporting Services in the following way. The application implements a three tier Architecture viz Web Server, Application Server and Database Server. Reporting Services 2005 is installed on the Database Server.



The application uses ReportViewer Control which is part of an ASPX page deployed on the Web Server. For ReportViewer Control to fetch data from Reporting Services using RS API, we have to set ReportServerUrl and Report Path. In this scenario, the web server cannot communicate to the database server directly. The web server is in the DMZ and it can only communicate with the Application Server which is in a separate Network.



How can I use Report Viewer Control to fetch data from Reporting Services which is on the Database Server.



Thanks & Regards,

Rajiv

Data Conversion From String To Decimal When Saving Data To SQL Server 2005 Using An ADO Recordset

Feb 12, 2008

Hello,

I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.

This is the code I€™m using (C++):

CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;

"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".

The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.

I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.

So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Volker

Import Data From Excel-Sheet Via OleDb In VB.Net - How To Get A Columns Data As String?

Oct 25, 2007

Hello,

i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:







Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn)
Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn)
Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader
Do While rdr.Read()
Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString
Next




it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming.
when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.

So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?

Thanks for Reading

Truncation Of String Data With Data Reader Source Connecting To ODBC DSN

Mar 18, 2007

A data reader is using a connection manager to connect to an ODBC System DSN . A query in the SqlCommand property is provided. Data is being truncated in the only string column . The data type in data reader output-->external columns shows as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] Length 7.

The truncated output in a text file is the first 3 characters from left to right . Changing the column order has no effect.



A linked server was created in SQL Server Management Studio to test the ODBC System DSN using the following:

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'server_name',
@srvproduct = '',
@provider = 'MSDASQL',
@datasrc = 'odbc_dsn_name'

Data returned using "OPENQUERY" does not truncate the string column indicating that the ODBC Driver returns data as expected with sql 2005, but not with the Data Reader.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
