I'm not sure about why I'm not able to remove spaces even after trimming them. Below is the result of query I'm usning.
select distinct LTRIM(RTRIM(Promotion_Code)) Promotion_Code
--, count(Promotion_code)
from dbo.Marketing_Promotion_Tb
where Promotion_code like '%1BTPIZZA%'
Result :
Promotion_Code Length
1BTPIZZA 10
1BTPIZZA 8
Could somebody please give me a syntax that I can use to trim spaces. I have used and I still have the spaces. :
UPDATE MAP SET ROAD = RTRIM (STREET)
UPDATE MAP SET ROAD = LTRIM (STREET)
We are trying to clean up spaces at road intersections. Thanks for your assistance.
I have some data that contains spaces both before and after the text string, and now I'm wondering what would be the best method to remove these blanks (sometimes there are no blanks, so I can't check with a specifik width)?
Is it possible to do something like:
set foo = ltrim(rtrim(foo))
or do I have to split it into 2 steps?
This trimming will be done in update & insert statements

You all have been so much help, but I've discovered yet another problem. I'm trying to clean up my table using the following command:

Hi
I sent a long string of ID from front end to my stored procedure...till now I was using varchar(8000)...but if the string crossess that limit it is breaking.
If I try to use text datatype..It doesn't support rtrim, stuff functions etc...
So could any one suggest me a best way to save a long string without any restriction of size...
My front end is C#.Net and Back End is SQL SERVER 2000
Thanks in advance
The table I have is:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[FTE2015](
[Firm Number] [varchar](50) NULL,
[w9] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
select * from dbo.FTE2015
Firm Number w9
709485"" 0
040898A" 12.5
709502"" 2.4
041382"" 0.4
709503"" 0.3
709681"" 4.9
How do I remove the trailing blanks? I tried RTRIM but it does not work.
SELECT RTRIM([Firm Number])
FROM dbo.FTE2015;
(No column name)
709485""
040898A"
709502""
041382""
709503""
How can I resolve this? The [Firm Number]column is not of a fixed length.
I am loading a dimension using a distinct query.There are duplicates coming through and the only differnce is a trailing space on one of the columns.
RTRIM is not removing the space.
how i can fix it?

View 1 Replies View Relatedis there a way to do remove spaces from a string if its they are in deifferent places on each row
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe imported approximately 2.9 million records from our mainframe server
into our SQL Server but have run into a problem. The data in a
few of the fields contains both leading and trailing spaces. An
example of the data would be like this, using periods to represent
spaces:
What we have:
..1A02938.....
What we need:
1A02938 (no spaces)
Is there some sort of algorithm I can run on the data to remove
those spaces? The problem is coming up when trying to perform a
SELECT query. We try something like:
SELECT * FROM PCPIPT0 WHERE PANO20 = "1A02938" but we get zero
results because of the spaces in the database. The datatype of
the filed is char(20) because we need some flexibility on the size of
the data stored.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have a char(12) field that was loaded like '000000000101' I need to change the data to be ' 101'. Is there a way to do this and preserve the number and keep the leading spaces?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using the following command:
osql -E -n -d testdb -i testquery.qry -o "c:Scriptsoutput.txt" -h-1 -w 500 -s ","
With the following query (testquery.qry):
SET NOCOUNT ON

FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.column4 = table2.column4
AND table1.column1 != "NULL"
ORDER BY table1.column5
All of the columns are cast as char up to 50 characters.
Even if only a field has a few characters, I get a lot of extra white space in my output. I want to get rid of those trailing spaces. I've tried SET ANSI_PADDING OFF, RTRIM(), and CAST(x AS VARCHAR(y)). I still get the same output. What am I doing wrong, what am I missing?
When I save my output (from a query I ran) to a text file, there seems to be rows of spaces. Is there a way i can just kill off any spaces at the end of my query? Like rtrim or something?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHello,
I need to strip out all alpha chars and spaces in a given field and return only the numbers.
I've tried =CInt(Fields!Info.Value) and get an unexplained error. If the data was formatted consitantly I could simply do a RTrim or Right, but the number strings are not the same, some have spaces as in phone numbers (1 800 555 1212) or don't have a leading 1. Most instances are correct for my purpose (8005551212).
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Using the Replace function =Replace(Fields!Info.Value, " ","") gets me almost there. Now I should be able to use a Right, 10 function to return my desired value. Is it possible to combine these two funtions together?

I would like to compare rows from 2 tables.
For ex:
Table1
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 a aa
2 b bb
Table2
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 a aa
2 b bb
Notice Table2.Col2 first row has an extra space " a", where Table1.Col2 value is "a".I need to compare all the columns, not just 1 column (any of the column can be different). Do we use CHECKSUM for this, or is there a better way to compare the 2 tables (in this case resulted in Table2 row 1 col 2 being the difference ?

I am trying to bulk update about 50,000 rows in a SQL table. The values that the table MUST contain are:
1-3 days
4-7 days
8-10 days
Some of the rows contain a space between the number and the hyphen like:

4 - 7 days
8 - 10 days
