Transact SQL :: Find Exact Word In String Within Case Statement
Aug 6, 2015I am required to find or check that a specific word exists in string or not.
Suppose I have to find the word 'st' than I need the result true if and only if the following occurrences are there.
1. 'St is valid;' -> true
2. 'DOB is valid;ST is invalid;' -> true
3. 'DOB is valid; ST is invalid;' -> true
4. 'DOB is valid;invalid ST;' -> true
5. 'DOB is valid; invalid ST;' -> true
6. 'DOB is valid; invalid STate;' -> false
Means the exact ST should be search. It is not free text search.
T-SQL is needed to be used in select statement with case using PATINDEX, RegEx or any suitable t-sql command.

Aug 18, 2014I need extracting string that is between certain characters that are in certain position.
Here is the DDL:
DROP TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest](

[StoreNumberParsed] [varchar](50) NULL)
INSERT INTO [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]

Extracting A Portion Of A String In SQL Server 2005
Apr 22, 2008Hello, this seems simple but I've been banging my head a while.
I have a data field that is formated like this: NYT/2000-Subways/7510-Electronics Mtc/7540-Data Svcs.
I need to pull out the string after the second / and before the third / in this case the value is 7510-Electronics Mtc but it does change.
I have this function that returns the first value (NYT):

Transact SQL :: Extracting From 3 Related Tables And Including MAX Function
Oct 5, 2015I have these 3 tables in a database for printed chamber music works:
Table INSTRUMENTS: List of musical instruments
Column ID -- int, primary key
Column sInstrument -- string
Table PTRS_INSTRUMENTATION:
Column ID -- int, primary key
Column lInstrument -- int, points to a row in table INSTRUMENTS via ID
Column lMainItem -- int, points to a row in table MAINITEMS via ID
Column lInstrSeqNum -- int, sequential number of like instruments within one Main Item
Table MAINITEMS: List of chamber music works
Column ID -- int, primary key
Column sItem -- string
Each chamber music work (Main Item) requires an ensemble of musicians playing several instruments. Some of them may be the same, such as 2 violins. A classical quartet, for instance, consist of 2 violins, 1 viola and 1 cello. I am concerned here only with one of the instruments (although it may occur several times).
I want to extract a list of Main Items where the instrument is given (e.g., 'violin'),
And the maximum of PTRS_INSTRUMENTATION.lInstrSeqNum is a given number (e.g., 2).
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

20059958 ;2698;020225PU20;?;;;;;;

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?

Word Search In String
Feb 25, 2008
Hi All,
Please help, it is urgent
I am having a colume as image datatype, in which candidates resume is stored in binary format.
I have to search for particular words for eg. "ASP.Net, 2 Years" into that column
I have converted that column as varchar and then searching above two words(after spliting them by comma) into that string using CHARINDEX
DECLARE @i int, @j int
SET @i = select MIN(ResumeId) from table_name
SET @j = select MAX(ResumeId) from table_name
WHILE (@i <= @j)
BEGIN
DECLARE @Resume varchar(max)
SET @Resume = CAST((select Resume from table_name where ResumeId=100) as varbinary(max))
--code to search the particular word from @Resume
END
It is working fine, but it is very slow, taking 2+ minutes to scan 15000 records
How can I make it faster or is there any other way to search?
Thanks in advance

Transact-SQL: Word Sample Reserved In SQL2000??
Sep 26, 2007
Hi,
I haven't found anything that shows that "sample" is a reserved word in SQL 2000. However when I enter it in Query Analyzer, the color changes to blue, as it is a transact-sql word. However, I'm still able to create a table called sample or name the column.
Does anybody know why query analyzer recognizes it as a transact-sql/reserverd word??
Thanks in advance,

The String Was Not Recognized As A Valid DateTime. There Is A Unknown Word Starting At Index 0.
May 2, 2008Hi,
I got this error report "The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is a unknown word starting at index 0." at this line of code in BOLD.
For some reasons the datetime format in the database has the (US datetime format - 05/02/2008 06:40 instead of United Kingdom (UK date time format - 02/05/2008 06:40), as I had planned. I have tried to reformat the database and VB date format and all to no success.Could this be the root of my problems?

Transact SQL :: String Hex Comparison And Partitioning?
Oct 22, 2015Our dev team wants to introduce a complex key, which is made up of
EventDate datetime2(5) = ‘2015-10-22 10:19:59.12345’
ConsumerID bigint = 1234
SiteID tinyint = 15
EventDate will be converted to a bigint and then to a hex value
= 2015-10-22 10:19:59.12345 = 2015102210195912345 = 1BF714C8A0D4F699
ConsumerID will be converted to a hex value
= 1234 = 4D2
SiteID will be converted to a hex value
= 15 = F
The hex values will then be concatenated together and stored as a string (varchar). The application will handle the creation of the complex key
= ‘1BF714C8A0D4F699-4D2-F’
I am trying to argue against this approach and get them to store the values in their native form, in separate columns as a natural key.
To make matters worse, we need to use partitioning, where the partition boundary will be on a hexed datetime2(5) at weekly intervals. I was really hoping a proof of concept would show that hex string comparison could potentially put a row under a wrong partition, but so far, on an 8 million rowset, it is working fine.
For example, in the proof of concept, right partition boundary:
= '1BF398D53DFA1800'
(2014-12-15 00:00:00.00000)
contains rows
= '1BF3983242B9C000-1-2'
(2014-12-08 00:00:00.00000-1-2)
Through to
= '1BF398C373960580-2FAF3003-2'
(2014-12-14 23：59：00.00000-800010243-2）
The prior partition boundary is 1
= 'BF3983242B9C000'
(2014-12-08 00:00:00.00000)
How is this working, given that the string lengths (varchar) are different and the row value contains dashes and the partition boundaries are smaller in length without dashes? How varchar string comparison is working here?
