Transact SQL :: Extracting Specific Data From One Field Using Charindex
Jul 20, 2015I’ve got an issue with extracting specific data from one field using charindex. Here’s an example of the dataset:
Cl_nr Var_data
20059942 ?;;300134BL10;?;;;;;;
20059958 ;2698;020225PU20;?;;;;;;
20059975 ;;100777ST20;?;;;;;;
20059976 ;;;;;;;;;
11001980 ;;051168PU20;?;;;;;;1001980
20034832 ;;060253BO10;?;;;;;;
20055246 ;;1108731;?;?;;;;;
20043656 ;;1022509;?;;;;;;
20059366 ;;1181750;31-12-2015;2;;;;;
20052712 ;;230626NO10;?;;;;;;
Goal is to get the data after the 2<sup>nd</sup> ; until the next ; starts. Ideal would be to catch everything between the 2<sup>nd</sup> ; en 3<sup>rd</sup> ; (number should be 10 characters).
If I try to select this data just using charindex it only goes until it finds the first ; (of course), what’s the best approach in this?

Transact SQL :: Converting Text Value To Time
Jun 4, 2015Table contains field defined as text. First 12 characters will be date format 'mm/dd/yyyy'. then the next 3 characters could be:

Transact SQL :: Conversion Failed When Converting Nvarchar Value

Transact SQL :: Converting Old Outer Join Syntax
Aug 22, 2015I'm a Power Builder (PB) developer. I've migrated PB from 10 .5 to 12.5, and now I need to migrate the stored procedures from SQL Server 2005 to 2012 as well.I get a invalid expression error when I run the procedures in Power Builder. We have previously been using a lower database compatibility model in 2005, which allowed the procedures to work there. I have learned that =* is the old way to write right outer joins.
For example:
select *
from A
right outer join
B
[code]...
Is my approach correct, or do I need to add a WHERE condition to it? I don't have access to the production database to check. The development database is in SQL Server 2012 too, sO I will not be able to run the old version there to check.

Transact SQL :: Converting Data Type Nvarchar To Bigint
Apr 17, 2015This is a common error for SQL Server, but I got it in a uncommon way.I have a table called - tblIDNumber where there are two columns - IDN_Number [NVarchar(200)] and Temp [BigInt]
If I run,
SELECT *
FROM dbo.tblIDNumber
WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33
AND IDN_Removed = 0
AND CAST(IDN_Number AS BIGINT) = 1
SQL Server give me the error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
I first thought IDN_Number in type 33 has characters, but it doesn't, becasue the below query works!!!
UPDATE dbo.tblIDNumber
SET Temp = CAST(IDN_Number AS BIGINT)
WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33
AND IDN_Removed = 0
To workaround, I ran the query,
UPDATE dbo.tblIDNumber
SET IDN_Number = '123'
WHERE IDN_IDNumberTypeStaticValue = 33
AND IDN_Removed = 0
and then I ran the first query, and SQL Server does NOT give me the same error - Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
Second query approved there is nothing wrong from converting the value in IDN_Number to a BigInt, but the third query gave the hint that data might be the cause?????
finally, I found the root cause to be an index that the first query uses :
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_tblIDNumber_Covering] ON [dbo].[tblIDNumber]
(
[IDN_Removed] ASC,
[IDNumberCode] ASC
)
INCLUDE ( [IDN_Number],
[IDN_Reference]) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 85) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
If I remove the index, the first query works without the error.
Transact SQL :: Converting Union Statements Into Census Row Totals
Aug 20, 2015I have some old code consisting of over 30 Union statements, unioning 7/1/15-8/1/15 data according to the below code. Each block is the same except for the date. How could I rewrite these 30 union statements into a more concise query?
Each client (people_id) has a distinct agency_id_number. So the code below totals the number of distinct clients/day and groups them by programs and facilities.
Sample data that you can use to test this report:
IF OBJECT_ID(N'tempdb..#sample_census') IS NOT NULL drop table #sample_census
create table #sample_census
(
start_date datetime,
program_name varchar(25),
facility_name varchar(25),
agency_id_number varchar(25)

Transact SQL :: Error Converting Data Type Nvarchar To Float
Sep 24, 2015In the following code I want to compare 2 values: AccessVal and SQLVal. The values are stored as nvarchars, so I'm isolating the numeric values in a subquery. Notice I'm only selecting 1 row. The commented line, where I compare the values, is throwing the error.
SELECT QA_AutoID, AccessVal, SQLVal
,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, AccessVal,1)),0) as AccessFloat
,ROUND(ABS(CONVERT(float, SQLVal,1)),0) as SQLFloat

Here is the output with the comparison commented out...
Here's what I get with the comparison line activated:

Transact SQL :: Error - Conversion Failed When Converting Date And / Or Time From Character String
Nov 16, 2015I've imported a CSV file into a table in SQL Server 2012. It's a large file, 140,000+ rows, so I couldn't covert it to Excel first to preserve the date format due to Excel's row limit. In the CSV file, there were 3 column with date data in "31-Aug-09" format, and the import automatically transformed these in "31AUG09" format (varchar(50)) in SQL Server. Now I need to convert these 3 columns from varchar to datetime so I could work with them in date format.
I've tried several things,e.g,
select
convert(datetime,
right(admdate,4)+left(admdate,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
or
select
convert(datetime,
substring(admdate,6,4)+substring(admdate,1,2)+substring(admdate,3,3))
but keep getting the same error message (Msg 241) "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string".

How To Use IF Or Case With Charindex?
Dec 18, 2007Hi
I have a column col1 in a table having below strings. How do I get only the required part of the string as I explaind below. (Needed strings are followed by i.e as below).
txtString=duracell+alkaline+battery+&submit1=Search&OVR31&OVKWID=24137211531
i.e : duracell+alkaline+battery+
txtString=sealed+lead+acid+batteries+&submit&gclid=CMekn-fesZAodpzIcHA
i.e : sealed+lead+acid+batteries+
ID=3&Department=
i.e : 3
ID=22893
i.e : 22893
lngSessionId=837541253&pid=22714
i.e : 22714
CCcode=502&OrderId=INT10350&puramt=1773
i.e : INT10350
tduid=5c14526847651e9054552acc134e9a84&url=http://www.somedomain.co.uk/proddetails.asp?id=4204
i.e : 4204
Code I am using (Got this one from my other posting)
declare @QueryString nvarchar(255)
select@QueryString = 'ID=23456&Depatment='
selectsubstring(@QueryString, charindex('ID=', @QueryString) + 3,
charindex('&', @QueryString) - charindex('ID=', @QueryString) - 3) from Pageviews
1. But the above code only works if the string starts with 'ID='.
2. Because the col1 has strings starts with different letter this code fail to excute and gives error
3. Pathindex with regular express '(patindex('%[^0-9]%',v)-1)' cannot be used because it gets anynumber
in the string - string has mixer of numbers and letters
SO IF ANYONE LET ME KNOW HOW TO USE IF or CASE with 'charindex' or any other method to get the above said result would be greatfull.
