I want to add spaces (like space - len(col)) to first column so that second column will be aligned when exported to email (text).
DECLARE @ColumnSpaces TABLE (
Col_1 VARCHAR(50),
Col_2 VARCHAR(50)
)
INSERT INTO @ColumnSpaces VALUES ('AAA', '123')
INSERT INTO @ColumnSpaces VALUES ('AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA', '123')
The table I have is:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[FTE2015](
[Firm Number] [varchar](50) NULL,
[w9] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
select * from dbo.FTE2015
Firm Number w9
709485"" 0
040898A" 12.5
709502"" 2.4
041382"" 0.4
709503"" 0.3
709681"" 4.9
How do I remove the trailing blanks? I tried RTRIM but it does not work.
SELECT RTRIM([Firm Number])
FROM dbo.FTE2015;
(No column name)
709485""
040898A"
709502""
041382""
709503""
How can I resolve this? The [Firm Number]column is not of a fixed length.

I 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

how does one place 5 spaces into a CHAR(5) column?
create table testzeros
( id smallint not null primary key identity
, myfield char(5)
)
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 1')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 11')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 111')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' 1111')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values ('11111')
insert into testzeros (myfield) values (' ')
select id
, myfield
, len(myfield) as L
from testzerosno matter what i do, id=6 shows up with L=0, just like an empty string
i've even tried inserting 4 spaces and a non-blank character, which enters just fine, just as you would expect, but when i update the value and replace the non-blank character with a blank, all 5 spaces collapse back to an empty string
is there some kind of server setting like SET ALL_SPACE_EQUALS_EMPTY_YOU_IDIOT to OFF or something?
Hello,
I am fairly new to SQL I have started to administer a system which handles carrier information for a mail order system. The logic behind the system is quite simple there are 5 or so columns in a table the first column is the first part of the postcode i.e EX15, the other columns contain which delivery services and depot numbers are associated with that postcode. It works fine at the moment.
However now the main carrier has decided that they are now going to split these postcodes so for example EX15 1* goes to a different depot than EX15 2*
I cant seem to insert EX15 1 into the first column, I get the following error:
Attempt to store duplicate value in unique column. (-155)
Is this because of the space in 'EX15 1'? Because 'EX15' already exists in that column? In which case do I need to somehow tell SQL that there is a space there?
I hope this makes sense
Below is a snap of the table with the existing EX15 postcode data
postcode|carrier_code|available|depot_code|hub_code|county_code
----------------------------------------------------------------
EX15.....|NF/S93......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO
EX15.....|NF/SAT......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO

EX15.....|NF/48.......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO

Here is a snap of how I would like to set up another entry:

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I currently have a column in a table with data type char and length 500. However, not every column fills up the entire 500 length, and I would like to fill up the rest of the spaces with dots. Is there a setting in SQL to do this? I do not want to use varchar since I want a fixed length with dots at the end. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here? Can somebody help me in making sure Ifilter out all duplicate entries ?Thanks,Rad
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Advantage ODBC 6.2 to connect to a Advantage Data Server to
push data from a SQL table into this server. I can view the data from

up a DTS package to pull from SQL into the Advantage ODBC, I get a
"missing closing ")"" error. I have narrowed it down to the column
names in the destination table having spaces (Last Name, First Name,
and a bunch of others. DBA 101 here). How do I beat this?
I have tried editing the destination column names in disconnected edit
by adding the double quotes but get a "Column Name '"Last Name"' not

limit on Advantage.
When I try to use Advantage OLE DB, I get an 'Ace32.dll must be newer
