Hi,
I have a table with a field called productname, and it has about 5000 rows, and within that about 1000 have a productname that has 'NIB' in the name, ie "My Product NIB DVD" and I have been asked to replace 'NIB' with 'New' ie "My Product New DVD" Can I do this in SQL using an Update statement? Or do I have build something in maybe asp.net to use a replace function to change the name.
Thanks

I am using MSDE. In this I have a field that contains a desciption. Prior to saving to the db, I replace all vbcrlf's to <br />'s. That works fine when displaying in HTML, but when I display it in a datagrid, I want to replace the <br />'s with vbcrlf's.
I thought I might be able to do it with a replace function in my SQL query, something like "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description". This produces an error that vbcrlf is not a fieldname. So I tried "select replace(Description, '<br />', 'xxx') as Description", and while this did not create an error, neither was the text replaced.
Am I not using the replace function correctly? Is there another way in which I might accomplish the task?
Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database=dbname"
Dim CommandText As String
'Command text is greatly abreviated for this discussion.
CommandText = "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description"
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim myCommand As New SqlDataAdapter(CommandText, myConnection)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim dv as new dataview()
myCommand.Fill(ds)
DataGrid1.DataSource = ds
DataGrid1.DataBind()
...
...

I have a need to evaluate a parameter to use like keywords. (Not my server, so indexing is not available.) I can get the first scenario to work, but wanted to see about getting the syntax so I wouldn't have to exec the statement. If I run the first execute statement, I get three rows (accurate). If I run the second statement, I get no rows. Anybody help me out with the syntax? I've tried so many variations, I'm lost. Many thanks.
declare @key as varChar(50), @sql as varchar(1000)
set @key='flow afow'
set @sql='select myID from myTable where [title] like ''%' + replace(rtrim(ltrim(@key)),' ','%'' or [title] like ''%') + '%'''
exec(@sql)
select myID from myTable where [title] like '%' + replace(@key,' ', '%''' or [title] like '''%') + '%'

I'm trying to replace some text in a field. It looks something like this:
63.73 Avail %= 36.27 Used space MB = 2609.34375 Free space MB = 1485.34765625
I only want the 63.73 number at the beginning. How do I put a wildcard to replace everything after it, starting with 'Avail...'?

Is it possible to replace 4 different values into one alias column?
ie REPLACE(EligStatus, '0', 'Verified') AS VRFD
..now I need to replace 3 other values with words but i want to keep them in the same VRFD column so I can add it to the report layout.
or is there a better way to do it?
I can't set up a linking table because nowhere in the DB are the values linked to the actual status.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.

Let's try this again.
When I try to use the replace function in my query it ignores the "<" and ">" characters, so that this query:select Description, replace(Description, '<', '* * *') as [Description 1] , replace(Description, 'br /', '? ? ?') as [Description 2] from TT_Projects
produces these results:
Description | Description 1 | Description 2
testsfv <br /> | testsfv <br /> | testsfv <? ? ?> I also tried to replace char(60) with no success.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi,
I posted a request here and am still working on it when I landed on this bug.
select top 10 replace(comma_separated_string,',','giveaverylongp assagehere') from table
The function works fine if the comma separated string is small or if the passage is small. It fails for long passages..
Is this a mssql bug?

Hi,
We have this syntax from Microsoft for Replace function:
REPLACE ( string_expression1 , string_expression2 , string_expression3 )
I want to search for two keywords and not only one:
images and images/ (second one is with back slash.
Is it possible to include something like:
images/ OR images in expression2 like
REPLACE ( string_expression1 ,'images/ OR images', string_expression3 )
I want something like that, how do I get that please?
Thank you.

I have 2 tables
1) One With ExchangeRates
a. CurrencyCode ValidFromPeriod Rate
b. EX1 200801 1
c. EX1 200803 2
d. EX1 200805 3
2) One with just OrderHeaders
a. ID CurrencyCode Period
b. 1 EX1 200801
c. 2 EX1 200802
d. 3 EX1 200803
e. 4 EX1 200804
f. 5 EX1 200805
The Idea is to link these orderheaders with their correct ExchangeRate. Which I only managed to do by using a function. Is there a beter (faster) way to do it?
Code Snippet
SELECT OrderHeaders.ID, OrderHeaders.CurrencyCode, OrderHeaders.Period, dbo.GetExchangeRate(OrderHeaders.CurrencyCode, OrderHeaders.Period) AS ExchangeRate FROM OrderHeaders
FUNCTION GetExchangeRate
@CurrencyCode VarChar(3),
@Period int
BEGIN
DECLARE @VarResult Float
SET @VarResult =0
SELECT TOP 1 @VarResult=Rate FROM ExchangeRates WHERE CurrencyCode=@CurrencyCode AND ValidFromPeriod<=@Period ORDER BY ValidFromPeriod DESC
Return @VarResult
END

Now Sql Function can not modify data as Sql Procedure like other database, it's very troublesome at most case!
in most case, Sql Function is used to improve code structure then it can be maintanced easy! BUT only because it can not modify data, there are 2 troublesome way:
1. Make all callers in the path from Sql Functions to Sql Procedure. and the coder will cry, the code will become very
confusional , and very difficult to maintance.
2. Divide the Sql Function into a thin CLR wrapper to call a Sql Procedure, can only use another connection, BUT can not be in the same transaction context And the code is ugly and slow.
You should not give limitation to Sql Function, should just limit the using context of Sql Function!
The sql code is more difficult to read and maintance than norm code(C#), then the improving code structure and readability should be one of your most important task, that's why microsoft!

I'm looking for a way to pull off a complex find+replace within some code, as follows:
@step_name = N'SAME - OCF Collins (Tabard)', @command = N'DTSRun /~Z0x5F4F7B0688825E7544AC46CFD664F98AC ', @database_name = N'
We have over 200 variants of the above, but following the same syntax (@step_name, Dbname, @Command etc...
Rules:
1) Note the unique identifier "~Z0x5F4F7B0688825E7544AC46CFD664F98AC". I would like it replaced for whatever is between "@step_name = N'" , and @command = N'DTSRun ; (this will form a filename).
2) Note the 'DTSRun /' string. I'd like that replaced with Dtexec /F "D:MyFileLocationFolderHere" (this folder remains constant).

I'm would like to replace all occurrences of "99999" and "-99999" with "" in a column using SSIS. I can use the REPLACE function in a Derived Column to replace one of those strings, for example: REPLACE(mycolumn,"99999",""). Or to replace both I could use REPLACE(REPLACE(mycolumn,"-99999",""),"99999",""). This seems kind of cumbersome and would get very complicated if I were replacing more strings with "". I'm guessing there is a better way. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,

Dear Community,We have a problem with null-Bytes in varchar-Columns, which are nothandled correctly in our application. Therefor we try to filter themout using the Transact-SQL REPLACE function.The Problem was, that the REPLACE-function didn't behave the way weexpected.Following Example demonstrates the behavior:declare @txt varchar(512)declare @i intset @txt = 'hello ' + char(0) + 'world'print @txtset @i = 1while @i <= len(@txt)beginprint str(@i) + substring(@txt, @i, 1)set @i = @i + 1endprint 'Length: ' + str(len(@txt))print 'trying to replace null-byte:'print replace(@txt, char(0), '*')print 'replace Letter h'print replace(@txt, 'h', char(39))-- end exampleOutput:hello1h2e3l4l5o678w9o10r11l12dLength: 12trying to replace null-byte:*replace Letter h'elloThe Null-Byte replace destroys the whole string. This behavior occursonly on some of ourdatabases. The others work correctly.Is it possible that it depends on some server setting?ThanksEnno

I have a separate list of calendar years with radiocarbon year equivalents in SQL server but no conversion equation. Most but not all of the data I have is in radiocarbon years. I thought at first I could just link the tables but I don't want the data that is already in calendar years to be linked to this conversion table. Is there any way I can either link the two tables with criteria for which data is linked (Only ages that are in radiocarbon years). Or possibly a way to query all ages that are in radiocarbon years and do something similar to a find and replace with a large list of numbers to change?

select * from fn_TaskResolver(1, 'Text Text Text Text Text Text Text <<Name>> Text Text Text <<Salary>>')
I try this function but its return multiple rows as i just want to return one row. as I have big data set so i don't want to use scaler or Multi Line function.
create function fn_TaskResolver(@TaskId bigint, @name varchar(2000)
Return table

I have a replace statement like the following:
select (replace('FMG','FMG','FM'))
So this is straightforward as it will replace the word 'FMG' with 'FM'
However, SSRS is passing a comma separated list like this:
select (replace('FMG','AFM','FMG','FM'))
And what I need to do is replace the comma separated list of 'FMG','AFM' only. I tried this:
select (replace('''FMG','AFM''','FMG','FM'))
But it still complaining about syntax errors. How do I get the comma separated list to be seen by the replace function?
