Text Formatting In SQL

Jan 31, 2008

I am trying to output data from SQL Server to an email body message with a little formatting (just to make it legible)

Using this SQL statement:

select top 1 'Name', app_first_name+' '+app_last_name [name] ,'Submission Date', submission_date ,'Address', app_address+', '+app_city+', '+app_state+' '+app_zip from vw_bpa_export where app_email = dave@email.com order by submission_date desc

the resulting output displays this in the email body

"Name","Brian Vogler","Submission Date","2008-01-30 07:45:00","Address","6285 Harrow Trace, Norcross, GA 30092     "

but what I want is the text to look more like this:

Name                        Brian Vogler
Submission Date        2008-01-30 07:45:00
Address                     6285 Harrow Trace, Norcross, GA 30092

Is there a way to do this in the SQL statement (without HTML tags)?

SQLMail And Formatting Text

Jun 1, 1999

Does anyone know if there is a way SQLMail can always send a message using a fixed font like Courrier? I use SQLMail to send out an invoice and even though I format the spacing, the email looks unformatted on some systems.

I am using Exchange 5.5, SQL server 6.5 sp4 and the recipients of the emails could have any email client.

thanks,

-Darin.

How To Retain Text And Paragraph Formatting

Aug 17, 2007

Is it possible to retain text or paragraph formatting in a SqlServer 2005 Express edition table? If so, how?

I am particularly interested in keeping a linebreak between paragraphs and the only way I can think to do that is to put each paragraph in its own row. But I want some input before I undertake that substantial task.

Thanks for any help provided.

Formatting

Aug 18, 2005

Hello all,I have a strange problem that i need some advice on. I have the following field called FILENO. It is a SQL 2000 field with the Data Type set to Char (7). The following sql statement works perfectly:SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCIt returns the correct data, 0050. Now, what i'm trying to do is add 1 to the value so i can get the next available number which is 0051. But, when i run the following sql statement, i get 51 instead of 0051.SELECT TOP 1 RTRIM(FILENO+1) AS TEST, RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) AS YEAR FROM tblRecordsWHERE RIGHT(DATEPART(Yy, FILENOYEAR), 2) = '05'ORDER BY FILENO DESCDoes anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks.Richard M.

SQL Formatting.

Feb 28, 2001

I'm working as a consultant for a project and I have been having constant issues with the in house "database guru" about stored procedure formating.

He insists I use a format similar to this:

create procedure getUser @UserId int = NULL
as
select
UserName
, UserPassword
, UserRole
from
Users
join
UserRole
on
User.ID = UserRole.ID
where
User.ID = @UserID
and
User.Active = 1

where as I prefer this format:

create procedure getUser
(
@UserId int = NULL
)
as
select UserName,
UserPassword,
UserRole
from Users
join UserRole on User.ID = UserRole.ID
where User.ID = @UserID
and User.Active = 1

Now normally I don't argue about style issues but I find his format confusing and it bothers me that it senselesly wastes lines make the stored procedure longer than necessary.

I'd love to get some comments on this issue or reference to any discussions on issues such as this.

Thanks

Apr 9, 2008

Hello -
Does anyone know why SQL Server Reporting Services formatts SQL weird? -- If I type a SQL statement in notepad or notepad++ and then paste it in Reporting Services it will change the whole structure and "expand" it out to three or four times its size.

Formatting Values

Jun 19, 2000

I have values in my database that I'd like to display as $xxx,xxx.xx. Some of these values use the money datatype and others use float.

I'm building a string in a stored procedure that is eventually passed to Visual Basic. I want to format these values in the above format in the string that is passed. I've searched all through MSN and I couldn't find anything related to VB's FORMAT function in SQL Server.

Does Transact-SQL have any functions that could format these values for me?

Data Formatting

Mar 13, 2001

Does anyone familiar with a tool or a quick way to put apostrophes and commas around some values, so they could be used in a query ? Example, if I have a bunch of zip codes such as:
10001
10003
10009
54321
89043
etc
Let's say I have a couple of hundreds of them. I need to be able to see them as -

'10001','10003','10009','54321','89043' etc

Appreciate very much your time.

Formatting Numbers

Jan 18, 2005

I am using a MS Access ADP connected to SQL Server Data

In a view I have the following formula:

dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost + dbo.tblQuoteItem.Markup * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost * .01

this calculates cost + markup

I cannot get it to format in Currency

Ex:

Cost is $1.75
Markup is 2.00 (2%)
Total shows - 1.785000

I want $1.78

Also - I am using this formula to calculate the Quoted price for the Qty Entered

dbo.tblQuoteItem.Qty * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost + dbo.tblQuoteItem.Markup * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost * .01

Using a Qty of 2 for above, I get 3.535000

I want $3.53

Any help is appreciated - AB
