I have a string column in a DB where it's values contain the following midway through the string ([DOCUMENTGUID] is a uniqueidentifier that is different for each row):
<a href="../downloadDoc.aspx?dg=[DOCUMENTGUID]" target="_blank">
I would like to replace this part of the string with a different piece of text.
I know that I should be using PATINDEX and REPLACE functions but I don't know how to utilise.
I am using SQL Server 2008. I have strings like this:
AB-123
CDW-32
declare @First_Part varchar(3)
declare @Second_Part varchar(5)
I want to split the string with delimiter '-' and store as first part and second part.
I saw few sample functions to split a string but these return table of values.
I simply want first part and second part.
In above examples context:
@First_Part = 'AB'
@Second_Part = '123'
Any simple way to do this?
I have a text filed in my table.I have sample data looks like <<some status>> << 3/9/2008 10:00:45 PM>> <<personname>>Im interested in searching <<some status>> and <<personname>> together by skipping date in between so my query set should return status and same person name i m looking for.

I have to extract a specific part of a string from a column in a sql server table. Following are the details and I have given the sample table and the sample strings.
I have 2 columns in my table [dbo].[StringExtract] (Id, MyString)
The row sample looks like the following
I have to extract the Id and a part of the column from mystring.
Id MyString

The part I want to extract is in the line "ZZZ" and the string part that i want to extract is between the 5th and 6th pipes (|). So my output looks like the following
Id DesiredString
1 Extracts^This^String1
2 Extracts^This^String2
3 Extracts^This^String3
Is there a way to extract this either using TSQL or SSIS.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[StringExtract]') AND type in (N'U'))

Hello all,
I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:
Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.
I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.
It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.
So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.
Thanks for the help in advance!
We have a legacy database that have hundreds of stored procedures.
The previous programmar uses a string like servername.databasename.dbo.tablename in the stored procedures.
We now have migrated the database to a new server. The old server is either needed to be replaced by the new server name, or remove it.
I don't know why he used servername as part of the fully qualified name, we don't use linked servers. So I think better removing the servername in all the stored procedures.
I know I can do a generate script, and replace the text and then use alter procedure to recreate all the stored procedures. But since hundreds of them, is there a programmatically way to replace them?
Hi All,
I have a column in my table like so:
'D4B00 L2A00 L3A00 L6C00 P1C00 L2A28 P4B00 '
How do I check in SQL if any pieces have the first 3 character the same. In the above case, L2A is present twice. I need to do this because I need display disctinct items, therefore L2A needs to be displayed only once.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I have a flat text file with lots HTML tags and corresponding values
For example
<Near_Side> 5563 </Near_Side>
<Top_Down_Code> Xe345 <Top_Down_Code>
So, For example I can use the a function
ALTER function dbo.StripHTML( @text varchar(max) ) returns varchar(max) as
begin
declare @textXML xml
declare @result varchar(max)
set @textXML = REPLACE( @text, '&', '' );
[Code] ...
To which Select dbo.StripHTML('<Near_Side> 5563 </Near_Side>') Value
I'll get 5563
However how would you get the values within the tag itself ? E.g.
Value Name
5563 Near_side
Xe345 Top_Down_Code
I was thinking along the Charindex but cant seem to get it right.

I have followed many tutorials on selecting and replacing text in text fields, varchar fields and char fields, but I have yet to find a single script that will to all 3 based on field type. Let's assume for a moment that I don't know where all in my database a certain value that I need changed resides ... i.e., the data's tablename and fieldname. How would I go about doing the following ... or more importantly, is this even possible in a SQL only procedure?1) Loop over entire database and get all user tables2) Loop over all user tables and get all fields3) Loop over all fields and determine the field type4) switch between field types and change a string of text from 'a' to 'b'Please be gentle, I'm a procedure newb.

Hello,
I have a field in my table that includes free form text. Within this text are two five digit numbers seperated by a forward slash (/). I need to be able to locate the "/" and then return and display the numbers before and after the "/" seperately. For example:
"the text looks like this but has two numbers 55555/66666 within the string"
I need to get the "55555" and the "66666" in oprder to then display them. can anyone help? I am using ASP/SQL. Appreciated in advance!
how can you return part of a string and convert it into an integer value? Maybe like this:
convert(left(column, 3) as int)
does that work?

I have 2 questions.
1. I have a table with a column for region names. Region Names are in 2 formats basically - "NAME-BU*RM" OR "NAME*RM".
I want to extract just "Name" from this string.
The length of "Name" varies and I want to extract all characters included for "Name".
Can anyone advise what the query/SQL statement would look like?
2. I wrote a VB code to generate a xls file. Users are able to run it fine but if they have another file with same name already open, then it just crashes excel.
So I want to include a code that checks if file "file.xls" is open on user's machine.
If file is open, then message "file "File.xls" is already open. Generating File_1.xls"
Run the code but create the file with file name "file_1.xls"
If file doesn't exist, then run code and create file with file name "File.xls"
Please advise.

I have a table like this :
reg.no | description | start_date | end_date | load_date
I want to join this table with itself on reg. no. But not all the rows in table must be joined.
But for example, rows with load_date 01-07-2015 to be joined with rows with load_date 02-07-2015. And the rest of the rows should not used in join (for example, rows having other load_dates)
Is this possible ? and how?
