I would like to know how can i only get the characters before the special character?
For example if the mail id is The.Champ123@gmail.com i need to extract The.Champ123 and if the mail id is TheChamp@gmail.com I need to get TheChamp.So basically i would like to get the characters from the string before '@' character.
Hi,I come from the "dark side" php/mysql and there often problems withcharacter sets (utf-8, latin...) and storing data in datebase.Exists in the world of dot.net and ms-sql-server similiar problems?To precise: I have to store xml-data in database. Maybe its better toencode (like base64) the strings?Perhaps there are some links to read?Thanks.klaus.

Using loops in SQL SERVER or REGULAR EXPRESSIONS in ORACLE ?

Hi,
I an concatenating a string using char(187) as the separator. When I run the command "select char(187)" I get the symbol >>
However, when it writes to a csv file it is showing as an overscore instead.
Is there a known problem with special characters when writing to files?
Our SQL 2005 databases have "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"
collation settings on the server. One of tables has one column declared as "ntext".
When we try to insert "‚¬" character directly trough insert statement and retrieve it, we're getting right results. When we use web-services to insert data with this character (euro), and retrieving the data back, we're not getting this sign back. We are getting some characters like little squares. If I try to copy and paste them into notepad, I am getting ???
However, when I tried to place them here, I got them right:
‚¬ Å Å¡ Ž ž Å’ Å“ Ÿ
How can we assure visually they are inserted properly?
I had to update pricelist at local-db on the basis of prices in another SQL by matching the description. When i JOIN the tables, no record gets displayed, but the descrptions at both tables were exactly the same i believed. Took a lot of time in identifying the discrepancy; the data was like this:
CREATE TABLE #ABC (price money, DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(200))
GO
INSERT #ABC SELECT 19999,'SQL2000
'
GO
SELECT * FROM #ABC WHERE DESCRIPTION ='SQL2000'
--(0 row(s) affected)
SELECT * FROM #ABC WHERE LTRIM(RTRIM(DESCRIPTION))='SQL2000'
--(0 row(s) affected)
select * from #ABC WHERE REPLACE(DESCRIPTION,'
','')='SQL2000'
--(1 row(s) affected)
GO
DROP TABLE #ABC
:rolleyes: I believe, ENTER has some value within a field.
I'm trying to remove the special character ÿ from a varchar
select replace(my_col,'ÿ',' ')
this works, but the problem is that it also seems to replace the 'normal' y

Why is that?

On the bills that our system generates there is a comments field that users fillout. We have occasional problems with special characters in the text messing up the validation code. Does anyone know of a query that can identify special characters in a text field? Like carriage returns, tabs, etc.?

Iam working on sql server 7.0.
I have to bring in data from a text file into the sql server database. I use the BCP utility in pulling the data.
The flat file data contains special characters like ®. This is the registered trade mark symbol. When I bcp the file using the character mode the special characters are automatically changed to «. So If I am going to pull a data like ACRYLON®, after the BCP I get it as ACRYLON«.
Inorder to replace all these I have written a program but since it has to scan every record the time taken is more. Will in be possible to accomodate iun the BCP to pull the data with special characters.
If you have an answer to this please reply soon.
Thanks,

Hi !
I have an DB in SQL Server 7, and in Portuguese we have special characters like "á","õ",etc. And I want to let the visitor to a site to do a search (written in ASP), and not to need to write the correct way (without the accents). But either he writes or not in the correct way, the results are the same, not necessarly in the same order. Is there a SQL Server mechanism that permits this functionality, without doing a very complicated SELECT (takes a lot of time) or replicating a field in the DB (takes a lot of extra space)...
Thanks !

I have a problem inserting German special chracters into a MSSql table.
üöäÖ works fine, but ßÜÄ are reduced to "_". I'm using a html form and a php script to enter the data into the database. Any idea why this isn't working? Funny thing is, when I use a german version of the SQL Server it also works without a problem... but I need this to work on ANY mssql server. Any help would be very much appreciated.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,This is a generic question, but for arguement's sake, let's say, myenvironment is SQL Server 2000.It seems that setting quoted_identifier off is the best way toaccomodate all sort of data input/update especially for data set thatcontains special characters like single quote as in O'Brien, otherfunky stuff like %^$*@#(!).However, this option won't help with a situation like data value of5'9",and let's say, we really can't predicate if this type of value will beused for ColA or ColB or ColC ...Examplecreate table #tmp (col1 varchar(30));set quoted_identifier off;insert into #tmp values("O'Brien's barking dog'");-- successinsert into #tmp values("O'book has funky (%^$*7) stuff");-- successinsert into #tmp values("John said "funky is OK" in his speech");-- failedGlobaly search and replace the double quotes before insert/update isjust too "expensive", not a good option.Now, if we can set a custom quoted_identifier, we can solve the aboveproblem easily, for instance,if MS SQL Server permits/acceptsset quoted_identier = '//$$';theninsert into #tmp values(//$$John said "funky is OK" in hisspeech//$$);(or the like)would succeedAny other thoughts/ideas?

I've looked for information about this but to no avail. Essentially why does Reporting Services not support spaces and special characters in a Field Name?
I know that SQL supports spaces utilizing [] brackets e.g. [Field Name With Spaces]. So how come RS doesn't?
Thanks
I am trying to display data that has trademark and copyright symbols. Reporting services does not display them in the standard format. Anyhelp is appreciated on how to get this done.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am using MSSQL 2005 with the compatability mode set to 2000.Now, one of my String columns in a table has data in the following format:
ABC[123][XYZ]
Now issuing the following SELECT query in the table does not work :
Select * from TAB1 where col1 like 'ABC[%'
ie, no row gets selected.However, the following query works:
Select * from TAB1 where col1 like 'ABC%'
Looks like '[' is a special character :( Now, how do i work around this so that i can select strings starting with "ABC[".Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,SQL env: sql server 2000Target column of insertion: varchar(15)Case, a var is made up of a character of the following characters(random selection):A,B,C,D,E,$,!,%,^,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U, V,W,X,Y,Z,&,*,(,)and a few numbers (random selection), and thenvar = ran1&ran2I'm experiencing intermit sql errorIs it because I did not include the string with quotes likevar = "ran1 & ran2"or the first random seletion may include special character and thatmay cause insertion error randomly?Probably the former is more likely. And I've added quotes for thevar (programming language shouldn't really matter, int type usuallywithout quotes while strings need quotes).What's your thought?Thanks.

I am trying to update a colunm with the value (Dynamically).
'UPDATE ' + @TABLE + ' SET '+ @FIELD + ' = '''+ @VALUE +'''
well It works fine until @Value contains quotation for instance @value = O'hare Airport
results in termination of the statement because of single quote after O in O'Hare. Is there any way I can see it works
Also suppose if its updating a field which can be say 10 charcters long and when @value has say 15 characters, it terminates. Is there anyway i can avoid this.
I am trying to store the content (body) of an email message that I want to create in a column SQL 2000. I need to know how I can store the special characters (carriage returns, bullets, etc) so that when I select them from the database to reform the email the correct formatting appears.

I am trying to move distinct data from one table to another based on two columns regardless of special characters such as : ( ) ; ' " / - _ = >< etc. The two columns that are the defining factors that I need to match as duplicates are Col1 & Col3, the rest I want to get the maximum data from each column for that row (I hope this made sense).
Here is what I have tried, but it does not seem to work:
Code:
select
ID,
Col1,
max(Col2)as Col2,
Col3,
max(Col4)as Col4,
max(Col5)as Col5,
max(Col6)as Col6,
max(Col7)as Col7,
max(Col8)as Col8,
max(Col9)as Col9
where patindex('%[^-:]%',Col1) = 0 AND patindex('%[^-:]%',Col3) = 0
into Newtable
from dbo.CLEANING_bk
group by Col1,Col3
Basically if there are 10 rows of duplicate data based on Col1 & Col3 (regardless of special characters), I want to move the distinct info to a new table with the maximum amount of info from the other columns of the duplicate rows.
If row 3, 4,5, & 6 are all considered duplicate and Row3/Col2 has info in it that row 4 & 5/Col2 does not, I want to combine it with the single row I export to the new table retaining as much information from the rows of the duplicates as possible.
Can anyone help and let me know why my script is not wanting to play nice?
I am writing a web application and everytime I attempt to insert some special characters in the database I get errors. Is there a way around this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn our schools we have a number of East-European, Turkish, Scandinavian, ... students. Their names contain "special" characters, like Ö, Ü, Ø, ... Our users want to be able to search for student names without having to enter those special characters. Most often they don't know the exact spelling of the names and they get "no match found" messages as a result.
They want to have persons with the name Ösgür, Osgueld, ... in the result set after entering "osgu" in the search field.
What is the best way to do this? I was thinking about using another collation near the LIKE, but I don't know if that would work and how it should be done. The Database collation is Latin1_General_CI_AS.
