SP To Find A Gap In A Number Field
Feb 13, 2008I have a part number field which contains whole numbers. (1 - 5000+) however there are gaps in the numbers e.g. Part Number 3876 maybe missing. The table has new parts inserted from a VB Client. Im trying to write a stored procedure where when a user trys to run an update without entering a part number the first missing part number is found. If they do provide a part number then their number is committed as long as it is unique. I've tried using cursors but am not sure on the best approach. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Find Record Where 1 Field Value Has Changed
Apr 2, 2015I need to find all items in an inventory table where a field has been unticked in the last 24 hours (there is no audit trail), as well as the contract number of the contract it has been added to (it will not have existed in that table before).
These are the two table querys in their basic form:
select item (nvarchar(20)), inactive (bit) from inventory
select item (nvarchar(20) , contract (nvarchar(20)) , original_start_rent (datetime) from deltickitem
I would like to see just the item number and the contract number it has been added to.

Group By Query To Find Duplicate Field Value
Jul 23, 2001Hello,
Not sure how to do this. I think I need to use a Group By query. I have a "Products" table with the following fields:
Program#
Number
UPC
Item
Item#
Size
Dept
Everything is specific to the Program#. In other words, for every instance of a Program# there can be more than one Product, which is specified by the "Number" field. So: SELECT * FROM Product WHERE [Program#] = '12345' should return this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
12345 | 3 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail |
However, some recordsets are returning like this:
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cookies | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 1 | 000012345678 | Cake | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
12345 | 2 | 000012345678 | Ice Cream | 98765 | 12ct | Retail
In which case I have to fix them (the "Number" field) with an update query sp they are numbered sequentially. Luckily, this doesn't happen very often.
Can someone help me with a query that will return only those records with duplicate values in the "Number" field? I am not sure how to construct this query which I will use as a stored procedure.
TIA,

How To Find A Field In Case Insensitive Using GetVirtualInputColumnByName
Jan 22, 2008
Hello Experts,
I tried to retreive an input column using GetVirtualInputColumnByName, to map it with output, it gave error. I found that it is because the value passed bstrName parameter was in different case. say for example in the column it is "ColNo1" where as in the GetVirtualInputColumnByName i used "Colno1".
Can anyone tell, Is there anyway to find the column in a case in-sensitive way?
Thanks.

Find Most Recent Record In Table According To Date Field
Sep 19, 2015The "Last" function in the query below (line 4 & 5) is not exactly what I'm after. The last function finds the last record in that table, but i need to find the most recent record in the table according to a date field.

I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.
Using A Regular Expression In MSSQL 2005 To Find Patterns Buried In A Field Full Of Misc Data
Feb 29, 2008Thanks in advanace for taking the time to read this post.
I am using MSSQL 2005 and have created a function that allows me to use regular expressions in my SQL queries.
My question is I have a pattern buried in a field of misc data that I need to pull out just that pattern and discard the rest of the data. Here is the Regular Expression I am using
select field1 from table1
where dbo.RegExMatch (field1,'[a-zA-Z]{4}[0-9]{6}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}')=1
This returns all values in the field that match the expression. What I want to do now is remove all data from the field on the left and right of the expression that does not match the expression. How would I accomplish this without reading through the 200k+ records and writing rules for every exception I run across?
so I could have Gar b/a ge 'THE GOOD DATA' m/or1 ba4d da....ta. All I want to do is return 'THE GOOD DATA'
Query To Find Rows Where A Field &"Begins With&"
Dec 4, 2006Derek writes "I'm totally new to SQL and need some help.
I need to write a query that will return rows where a specific field begins with a selected string.
Example:
My table is called rf_log
I want to see all rows where the PACKSLIP begins with 'ORD000888'
I tried:
Select *
from rf-log
where PACKSLIP like 'ORD000888'
This returns only rows where the packslip is = ORD000888
I need to see all rows where the packslip begins with ORD000888.
So packslip ORD000888-0, ORD000888-1 and ORD000888-2 should also be returned.
Many thanks."

Transact SQL :: Find Unique Rows In Column That Are Associated With Another Field In Another Column?
May 1, 2015I am having issues trying to write a query that would provide me the unique GUID numbers associated with a distinct PID if the unique GUID's > 1. To summarize, I need a query that just shows which PID's have more than one unique GUID. A PID could have multiple GUID's that are the same, I'm looking for the PID's that have multiple GUID's that are different/unique.
Table1
GUID PID
GUID1 PID1
GUID1 PID1
GUID1 PID1
GUID2 PID1
GUID3 PID2
GUID3 PID2
GUID3 PID2
The result of the query would only have PID1 because it has two unique GUID's. PID2 would not be listed has it has the same GUID3 in each row.
Result:
PID1

Anything That You Find In SQL Object Scripts, You Can Also Find Them In System Tables?
Jul 26, 2005I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you

How To Convert Datetime Field To A Date Field So Excel Recognize It As Data Type
May 17, 2015I embedded a SQL query in excel that gets some datetime fields like "TASK_FINISH_DATE" .
How can I convert a datetime field to a date field in SQL in a way that excel will recognize it as a date type and not a text type?

**all of the above returned text objectes in excel and not date objects.
Informix Date Type Field To SQL Server Datetime Field Error
Oct 17, 2007
I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?

View 1 Replies View RelatedTransact SQL :: NVARCHAR Field Getting Truncated After Increasing Field Length?
Aug 28, 2015I have a very strange situation. I've increased the size of an NVARCHAR field from 8 to 9 in a database table. The format of the data that I enter will either be an 8 character field (123456-8) or a 9 character field (1234567-9). The '-' is critical.
It used to only accept the 8 character version, but after increasing the field size, if I try to insert the 9 character field version, it gets truncated after the '-', as though it's still only allowing 8 characters. But that only occurs when I include the '-' or other such characters like '#'. If I try to insert 1234567a9, it works. The following explains the outcomes:
Inserted Value -> Result in table
123456-8 -> 123456-8 *Correct
1234567-9 -> 1234567- *Wrong
123456789 -> 123456789 *Correct
1234567#9 -> 1234567# *Wrong
1234567a9 -> 1234567a9 *Correct
Why is it that characters such as '-' and '#' are truncating the value, but only if the string is 9 chars long?
I'm currently using a direct t-sql insert statement in SQLExpress. The field is a simple NVARCHAR(9) field.
