Transact SQL :: Getting A Sequence Pattern?
Apr 30, 2015
I need a simple tSQL code that will produce an array sequence values that has gap with 2 or more consecutive values, which can vary - so 2 or 3 or 4 between sequence of number. For example, I want it to return a series with a gap or space of 2- So it should return 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10.. or a gap of 3 - 1,2 ,6,7,11,12.. etc I know a single gap is quite simple using a recursive cte, but I haven't been able to find how to get this kind of result.

I tried creating one simple bar chart report in SSRS, with background fill with pattern "UpwardDiagonal", the stripes on the column when viewed insider report viewer control is quite prominently visible, whereas when exporting the same report to PDF the lines are very thin and dense and hence makes it very difficult to differentiate between one column with pattern inside and one without. I have even tried various other pattern like "LightUpwardDiagonal" and "WideUpwardDiagonal" but all have same result when exported to PDF.why?

Please find the necessary SQL to create the table with sample data down below.In this simple table, I'm keeping project status logs i.e. what project, what happened and when.I want to create a select statement that will give me the ProjectId and the time stamps from "Contract Signed" to "First Meeting". So, I'd like my data to look like this:
ProjectId - FromStatus - FromTimeStamp - ToStatus - ToTimeStamp
123 - 'Contract Signed' - 6/21/2015 3:33PM - 'First Meeting' - 6/27/2015 8:45AM
456 - 'Contract Signed' - 6/25/2015 9:00AM - 'First Meeting' - 6/29/2015 2:50PM
987 - 'Contract Signed' - 9/29/2015 11:00AM - 'First Meeting' - 7/11/2015 10:00AM
Please notice that in my SELECT statement, I don't want to see anything else. For example, I don't want ProjectId: 555 included because it never made it to "First Meeting". I also don't want to see any information about "Press Release" for ProjectId: 123. I only want to see those projects that went from "Contract Signed" to "First Meeting".
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ProjectStatus](

I am designing a database. I want to define a automatic sequence on a table primary key field. what is the best solution for it?I know I can enable identity property for a field, but it has some problems ( for example its seed jumps on restart and unsuccessful events).I also can use some calculated sequences. for example I can calculate max of the filed values and after incrementing use it as key for new inserted record.

In a t-sql 2012 sql update script listed below, it only works for a few records since the value of TST.dbo.LockCombination.seq only contains the value of 1 in most cases. Basically for every join listed below, there should be 5 records where each record has a distinct seq value of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Thus my goal is to determine how to add the missing rows to the TST.dbo.LockCombination where there are no rows for seq values of between 2 to 5. I would like to know how to insert the missing rows and then do the following update statement. Thus can you show me the sql on how to add the rows for at least one of the missing sequence numbers?
UPDATE LKC
SET LKC.combo = lockCombo2
FROM [LockerPopulation] A
JOIN TST.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type
JOIN TST.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber = LKR.number

I have a database that has entries that I want sorted by date order. Each entry has an auto ID number allocated (primary key auto sequencing), which I want to change to reflect the sorting (so the first date has the first auto ID number and so on).I've gone into the database and sorted the entries as I want them. Then I've gone into Design View to delete and restablish the primary key autosequence. However, it is not keeping the date order in the database (ie entry ID 3140 date is 12/06/2015, but 3141 is 02/02/2012). How do I get it to maintain the order?

Hi everyone. I'm developing a web search engine using asp and SQL Server 2000. I need to return records that matches with a string entered by users. In example, suppose my database to have this structure and it's filled like this:
ID NAME KEYWORDS
--- ------- -----------
AA025 NAME1 attached, atic, common, business, hotels
AA026 NAME2 headache, medicin, aspirins, heat, health
AA027 NAME3 at, services, music, electronics
suppose that user enters 'at'. By now, i'm using this pattern '%<input_text>%'. So in this example, pattern would be '%at%'. As i remarked in the fields above, the three fields matches, and that's not what i'm looking for. I want that the result of that query be just the last field, with 'AA027' ID.
Thanks in advance guys.
Cheers.

Say I have an object that can be created by some users and not others. And, I have a method something like - function createObject(userId as Integer, objectName as String). The method calls a stored procedure using the two input arguments as parameters.Now, what I am wondering is this; I am obviously going to check in my SP to ensure that the user has the rights to create the new object before inserting the new record, and there will be an output parameter to send the new record ID back to the method, but do Ia) have a separate output parameter to report on the success of the creation (e.g. @Err Int OUTPUT)b) use the existing output (used to send the new record ID back) and send an error code (e.g. if newRecordId = -9999)c) somehow try to cause a failure of the SP that can be caught in a try/catch blockThanks in advance,Martin

I've been trying to find and filter out data that can cause FOR XML to fail with the error:FOR XML could not serialize the data for node ?? because it contains a character (0x0006) which is not allowed in XML.I thought it would be simple, just identify the rows that don't match the XML spec URL...
However, the following doesn't work.
select fieldname
from tablename
where fieldname
like N'%[^'+nchar(0x9)+nchar(0xA)+nchar(0xD)+nchar(0x20)+N'-'+nchar(0xD7FF)+N']%'
Not only does this fail to find the offending rows, when I checked by inverted it by taking out the "^" it still returns no rows.When I reduced 0xD7FF down to 0xFF it returns data, but I cannot add the other range back in without all rows not matching.I've experimented with values and found 0x02E9 was the highest I could go without all values vanishing. Even then, numbers lower than that caused a large variation in the number of rows returned.My Field is NVarchar(100) in SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.

We have a collection of charts, some of which we use the gray scale for the palette (users only have B&W printers). We need to use the same patterns in other charts for consistency. The only option I see in Edit Chart Value-->Appearance-->Series Style-->Fill is Gradient. Is there any way to pick a fill pattern?
The pattern is the diagonal lines slanting down from left to right. It is the third column in the gray scale, so I have tried to add a dummy column as the first column, so that my column would have this pattern. However, the chart allows for space width wise for the first column, so there is a blank space on the chart. I have the Data Output checked to No.
Any other ideas, I would appreciate it!

I have two simple tables:
CREATE TABLE summaries ( summaryId int identity, summary varchar)CREATE TABLE phrasesToSearchFor ( phrase varchar)
I want to do this:
SELECT summaryFROM summariesWHERE CONTAINS(summary, <any of the values in phrasesToSearchFor>)
I've tried every weird permutation of the query I can think of, but can't find a way to make it work. Can anybody help?
Bonus Question:
I've got a function dbo.getPhraseToSearchFor(userId) that returns a phrase depending on the value of userId. I want to get a result table of (userId, summary) where for every user, I use dbo.getPhraseToSearchFor(userId) to figure out what to search the full-text catalog for. The docs say you can use a scalar function anywhere a scalar value is expected, but apparently that doesn't apply in this case -- you can't do CONTAINS(summary, dbo.getPhraseToSearchFor(23))

Hi,
We are using FULLTEXT searching for searching the title column in SQL 2005 table.
We are aware that using CONTAINS we cannot search middle of the string like the way we do using LIKE '%text%'.
Is there any alternative way of acheiving this functionality using FULLTEXT search or any other ways of doing this keeping in mind performance.
Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated.
thanks and regards,
Krishna.

DelimitedSplit8k and PatternSplitLoop seem to have potential, but I'm just plain stuck on some things:
1. DelimitedSplit8k: the delimiter split the folder paths, but the pattern can be within the strings that result.
2. PatternSplitLoop: I would have to cross apply 16 times and have an awful WHERE clause to determine which of the four strings matched first.
Unless I'm missing something. Short example is below.
WITH testctes (string, pattern) AS (
SELECT 'oh_look_at_this.thing.hishers_stuffmine.craftyours_protein', 'his first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'i.am.a._thing.hershis_thingsmine.refrigeratoryours_potato', 'hers first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'path_like.things_minehers.some_elsehis_garbageyours_sneakers', 'mine first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'more_stuff.yoursminehershis_falafel', 'yours first'
)
SELECT string, pattern, ca.item, ca.itemnumber
FROM testctes

Hi,
I need to store a list of parameters in a database. Each parameter has a name, description, comment and a value. Easy so far.
However the values are of different types. Each individual parameter has a value which may be of type int, decimal, string, boolean, custom type etc.
Which table design pattern is most appropriate?
We have a heated in-house discussion and I need supporting arguments.
Options explored so far:
1) (De-)serializing the value to a string-type.
2) Adding a column for each type, using only one column at a time.
3) Adding extra value-tables, one table for each type.
The disadvantages for each option are obvious and the basis for our discussion.
Your help in this matter will be appreciated.
Regards, Tonn

I want to check for multiple patterns in a particular column.
For one pattern I can write e.g.
SELECT * FROM <TablName> WHERE ColumnName LIKE '%abcd%'.
My requirment is to select all rows for which column value matches with many patterns.I will fetch the patterns in a subquery
e.g. (SELECT '%'+name+'%' FROM <TableName>)
Any thoughts?

I need a table value function for extracting strings matching a particular pattern from a long string.
e.g. I have a table called cs_Posts, it has a column called FormattedBody, this value can be something like:

When this long string is input, the table value function should 2 rows:

I have a table called MessageBoard. It has a column called Messages.
A user can type text including any html tags through a text area ans when he saves it by clicking a button, the content typed by the user is saved in the MessageBoard Table (in the Messages) column. So once saved, the html tags are kept intact. If I have to find and replace certain html tags, what kind of SQL Query I have to write?
For example I want to find all the <pre> </pre> tags and replace it with <p> </p> tags. How do I do this?

I'm not quite sure that this is possible but, I figured that I would check with you experts out there before trying a new approach. I've done quite a bit of research and have not seen anyone quite figure this out yet.
We have a SQL Server 2005 application that stores and indexes documents to the database as an image data type. I'm able to do full-text queries against the documents without any trouble. I begin to run into problems when trying to pattern match social security numbers and drivers licenses stored in a full-text index. I have a user defined function that I call which runs my regular expression that checks for hits of a ssn or license number in the index. I have no problem getting hits when the data sits in a column.
I do need to mention that I have no trouble when searching for a ssn with a fixed value and where I know the ssn (ex: 123-45-6789). I am actually trying to find the existence of the pattern of ###-##-#### (ex: ^d{3}-d{2}-d{4}$) anywhere in the index.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello, we've developed an application that runs on AXIM X51, if it is an important to know.
The data layer handles the connection using the singleton pattern, a bit of code of this is:
(....)
Private Shared ceConnection As SqlCeConnection
(....)
Public Shared Function GetConnection() As SqlCeConnection
Try
If (ceConnection Is Nothing) Then
ceConnection = New SqlCeConnection(Me.connectionString)
End If
If (ceConnection.State = ConnectionState.Closed) Then
ceConnection.Open()
End If
Return ceConnection
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try
End Function
(....)
So far nothing strange. We started experiencing problems when the end-users get an "Unspecified error" which later debugging it we got the href value inside the exception object is -2147467259 and nothing else. And if that wasn't enough I couldn't replicate the error in my pocket.
The only way I got the same error was removing the SD Card where the db is located at the same time the application was still open.
Does anybody experienced the same problem??? I researched about this kind of errors "when the device is just restored from the suspend mode" but with out luck.
Please, I really appreciate any help with this issue. Any comment will be more than welcome.

That is, all the words have been concatenated but can be visually separated by their capital first letters.
For reporting purposes, I need to break this column into the separate words so that it looks like:
"First Word Second Word Third Word...." etc.

I have a table ("MyData") with string columns that have nvarchar data that looks like this:
ColA
--------
42/90
78/109
I plan to do a mathematical grouping on the numerator (eg: 0-10,11-20,21-30, etc... ), So I need to grab the numerator and turn it into an int. For reasons I can't get into, I have to do this in pure T-SQL.
So my question: How would I write a select statement that regex pattern matches "^([0-9]+)/" on ColA and returns integers instead of text?
E.g. THis Query:
SELECT [magic t-sql syntax] as Converted_ColA from MyData
should return this set of int values:
42
78
