Folks,
what script must I use, as a part of CREATE TABLE, to automatically convert characters to UPPER case on insert?
I wrote <CHECK (country = UPPER (country)> in the CREATE TABLE, which was wrong,
because the values were still in the lower case.
The sample script is:
CREATE TABLE address
(street varchar(40),
city varchar(20),
state char (2),
zip varchar (10),
country varchar (20))
When a user types "Canada", I want the inserted value be "CANADA"
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Table :Employee

'A' and 'K' need to be upper can i know what function to use??
I am new to SQL and, unfortunately, actually do my work in Access 2003, but I have a question.
This is an example of what the data I am working with looks like:
AALADIN
AA-TACH EH65X, EH65V (V-Twin)
AA-TACH w/Robin 20 & 20.5 h.p. OHV
AA-TACH w/Wisc.-Robin EY21
ABI CONTRACTOR w/Honda 20 h.p. (V-Twin)
The all caps text strings at the beginning of the field need to end up in a separate field than the mixed strings, and the mixed strings need to stay together. The field length varies, as do the lengths of the all caps text strings. There are a lot of records, so I would be interested to know if there was a way to proceed without manually editing each line.

Ho can I convert first letters of a string to Upper Case (i.e. UNITED KINGDOM - Untited Kingdom). I have country names table which has all entries in uper case. This makes a select box very larg and unproportional.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello, we've an Oracle transition in the pipeline and want to convertall our database objects to upper case. Any one got a script ortechnique (other than manual) to do it?Many thanks, Kevin.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a problem. I need to rename all columns of a database to uppercase. Since SQL SERVER 2005 does not support changing system tables is there a smooth way to do this? Has anyone ideas for a script? point me to the right direction.
I have found the stored procedure sp_rename which could be useful (or would it be better to alter the tables)...
So any help would be appriciated very much...

Almost all of our character fields are stored in upper-case. Is there an easy way to force SQL Server char and varchar fields to upper-case? Something I can do in SQL Server instead of in the client? It needs to apply to any new records.
There are some exceptions (email addresses for one). I don't mind going through each field and changing something.
Thanks!

Hi
I can't create unique index like that:
1 - create table abc ( colZ varchar(10) )
2 - insert into abc values ( "test")
3 - insert into abc values ("Test")
4 - create unique index idx_abc on abc ( colZ ) -- This doesnt work
.... duplicate key was found for object name abc......
Is not there difference between "Test" and "test"?
Can I work around this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOur sql server 2005 database is receiving data from a third part program over which we have no control. We need to be able to automatically convert data entered in one column of one table to UPPER case only.
How can this be done in the table itself?
An IBM Global Services consultant is telling my client that in order to have SAP BI read any data from any other application supported by SQL Server 2005, that all tables and fields MUST be in UPPER CASE. This would mean that SAP BI could not read ANY data from AdventureWorks (which everyone needs ) but more importantly from 95% of applications written and stored on SQL Server. I find this to be ludicrious, frankly, but don't know how to find out if it is true. Anyone?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWith Sql Server Management Studio, while creating/modifying a table I want to specify one of its columns to store values in lower case only. Can it be done through the designer or by some other means?
N.B.: Using SQL Server 2005.
For Below example when @x=1 to retrieve col>0 rows or all rows.
With out another if else blocks or Dynamic sql to solve only in where clause.
select 0 col into #x
union
select 1 col
union
select 2 col
declare @x INT =1
SELECT * FROM #x
where col>CASE WHEN @x=1 THEN 0 ELSE (col=col) END
--here in case i want to compare only when @x=1 then col>0 other wise select all rows with out filter
Below is the SQL Query i am currently having
SELECT IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.ClaimNum,IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.TransactionCode,
IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.TransactionDate,IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.Username,
FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.ClaimNum,FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.TransactionAmount,
FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.UserName--,FinancialTransactionSummaryTest.TransactionDate
[Code] ....
And here is the result dataset
ClaimNumTransactionDateUsername ClaimNum TransactionAmountUserName
2000074 20150209jerry.witt 2000074 -10000DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL
2000074 20150626DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL 2000074 -10000DATAFIX INSERTED ON 20150626 AT 162152493 LOCAL
[Code] .....
So,if we look at the result set, we notice 2 conditions where the IG_FinancialTransactionSummary.Username is like 'Data' and if we see the transaction date then sometimes that is the max transaction date or sometimes there are transactions that happened after but that doesn't have like '%data%' in username . So, i need to add a new column to my sql query which should basically verify if the username is like '%data%' and if that is the max(transaction date) or even if there are any transactions after that doesn't have like '%data%' then YES else No.
In the database, most of our cities are stored in all upper case. For reporting purposes, I need to have them returned as upper/lower. I used the below function, which works great for one word cities. However I can’t figure out how to get it to capitalize the 1st letter of each word, for addresses containing multiple names such as Rancho Santa Margarita.
Upper(left(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY,1))+lower(substring(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY, 2, LEN(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY)))As ADDRESSCITY
This returns back: ‘Rancho santa margarita’; I need it to return ‘Rancho Santa Margarita’. Is this possible to do at the query level?
Hi,
I have a report which uses a parameter called "Interval" with possible string values of "Daily", "Weekly", and "Monthly" and I want these values to set the default values for my StartDate and EndDate parameters. However, the default value remains static. And I have tried all of the solutions found in this forum. Any suggestions?
I am using SSRS 2005. And I have tried using an iif statement for StartDate, also tried Property->Custom Code, and also tried using stored procedure to populate Start and End Dates, but none of these provide dynamic parameter setting like I was hoping for.
And I think this should work because I know that if it is not a date that it works correctly. For example if I have one parameter called country and a subsequent one named state, every time I change the country it will let me re-pick the state. But this is not working correctly here.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or how to fix this?
Hello,
I have a report parameter StartDate. Properties are
DataTypeataTime
Prompt: StartDate
Default Values:
Non Queried : =NOW()
I set the default value to Now(). When I go to preview, the StartDate parameter is blank and its been locked & grayed out. I also tried
Today() and Globals!SystemTime but that does not work either. Is there any other solution to make this work?
Thanks

The tables in my database somehow are getting set with a fill factor of 90. In the properties of the server/Database Setting, the "Fixed" option is unchecked. Last Friday, I reset the each table to have a fill factor of zero, but when I came in today, the tables reset themselves to having a fill factor = 90. Any ideas of why this is happening and how I can stop this? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am having some transact SQL problems.
ALLOWED:
Column1,
CASE FOO
WHEN 1 THEN 'Hello'
ELSE 'Goodbye'
END as MyValue,
Column2
NOT ALLOWED:
Column1,
CASE FOO
WHEN > 1 THEN 'Hello'
ELSE 'Goodbye'
END as MyValue,
Column2
The problem seems to be the > symbol. Apparantly the case statement is only for equality checks, and nothing else.
So, what can I do to fix this? I have these kinds of comparisons all over.

I have two parameters in my report (StartDate and EndDate). I want to default these parameters to the previous month.
For example... If today is 5/17/2007, I want StartDate to be 4/1/2007 and EndDate to be 4/30/2007. If today would be January 30th 2007, I would want StartDate to be 12/1/2006 and EndDate to be 12/31/2006.
How can I do this?
When I create a database, is there a way to make sure that the default recovery model is Full instead of Simple?

I need to breakdown some information with just initials (sometimes 2, sometimes 3 if the initials are already used) SQL Server throws the error of:

Case expressions may only be nested to level 10.
What should I alter, or how should I write this query so I can use all of the needed case statements? (their are actually about 24 when statements, but this is just to get a working example to display)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've always been mistified why you can't use a column alias in the group byclause (i.e. you have to re-iterate the entire expression in the group byclause after having already done it once in the select statement). I'mmostly a SQL hobbiest, so it's possible that I am not doing this in the mostefficient manner. Anyone care to comment on this with relation to thefollowing example (is there a way to acheive this without re-stating theentire CASE statement again in the Group By clause?):Select 'Age' =CaseWHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 30, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 0, GETDATE()))THEN '0-30 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 60, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 31, GETDATE())) Then '31-60 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 90, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 61, GETDATE())) Then '61-90 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn <= DATEADD(dd, - 91, GETDATE())) THEN '91+ Days Old'ELSE cast(SubmittedOn as varchar(22))end,max(SubmittedOn), COUNT(SCRID) AS NbrSCRsFrom SCRViewWHERE(StatusSort < 90) ANDCustomerID = 8 andUserID = 133group byCaseWHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 30, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 0, GETDATE()))THEN '0-30 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 60, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 31, GETDATE())) Then '31-60 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn >= DATEADD(dd, - 90, GETDATE())) AND (SubmittedOn <=DATEADD(dd, - 61, GETDATE())) Then '61-90 Days Old'WHEN(SubmittedOn <= DATEADD(dd, - 91, GETDATE())) THEN '91+ Days Old'ELSE cast(SubmittedOn as varchar(22))endOrder by max(submittedon) descThanks,Chad

Why @i1 is null but not @i2 ? I'm trying to assign values after grouping by the column.
I have the following query in a user-defined function. It accepts a single string parameter, but for the sake of simplicity, I have substituted actual strings in the query. It basically checks the passed string. If it ends with "Id", it strips off the "Id" and returns the resulting string. If it ends with "Id" followed by a digit, it strips that off and returns the string.
SELECT CASE
WHEN LEN('IncidentViolationId') > 2 AND RIGHT('IncidentViolationId', 2) = 'Id' THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', LEN('IncidentViolationId') - 2)
WHEN PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') > 1 THEN LEFT('IncidentViolationId', PATINDEX('%Id[0-9]', 'IncidentViolationId') - 1)
ELSE 'IncidentViolationId' END
This code has worked flawlessly for quite some time and all of a sudden I get "Invalid length parameter passed to left function". I understand why LEFT() would normally fail if I passed it a -1 for the second parameter, but in this scenario, asI understand it, it never should have reached the second WHEN condition since the first one evaluates to true. Why and why all of a sudden?
