We just upgraded to SQL 7.0 SP2. We enlarged one of our fields from varchar(255) to varchar(500), but when I do a SELECT on the field it only brings back 255. I know this was a limitation in ISQL in 6.5. I tried it in query analyzer and also via a command line. Any ideas how to see all the data?
Thanks
How do I count the number of specific characters in a string ?
Example:
declare @var as varchar(50)
set @var="1abc1efg1"
If I wanted to count the "1"...I'll get "3" for answer.
This could maybe done by using a while loop, but is there any T-SQL command for this?????
I have a field that contains text strings that always follow this syntax "ABC:DE:comment follow". I want to return a new field with only whatever is between the two : (in this case DE but it could be more). It would be perfect if all the field follow that syntax, however, I have variations where users put spaces either before or after the :. Can the spaces be ignored?
Thank you for any help.

I want to keep the first 6 characters 'MID - '
as well as up to the 3rd SPACE (not including the space)
so
ex: MID - Proposed
ex: MID - NotProposed
I have a program that is automatically ran through a job. The program gets the most recent files that have been uploaded to a server. I would like to be able to query the database to see when the last time this job was ran successfully and set this date as the date to look for files newer than the last successful run date.
Could someone point me in the right direction to what tables this data is stored in on a 2005 SQL Server Database?
i need to find and all special characters and replace with space.
Following query works well for me to finding all rows having special char.
SELECT DESC FROM TBL_DESC
WHERE DESC LIKE '%[^A-Z0-9 ]%'
replacing special char with space . i need to remove special chars only.
I’m getting ASCII characters in one column of my table. So I want to replace same column value in NON ASCII characters.
Note – values in column must be same
I am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.
"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.
SQL Query. What i need is to be able to extract specific characters from data.
Eg name
1.2-KPIA1-App-00001 this is a name i require, but i also require the '1.2' and the 'KPIA1' to be displayed in new columns in the results
i.e. 1.2-KPIA1-App-00001 1.2 KPIA1
*I need this in part of a script as there is thousands of rows of data.
I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'
Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN***
Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire
Example Record 3. Stockport
How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?
The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0
THEN LEN(Address )
ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0
THEN LEN(Address)
ELSE CHARINDEX('*' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test2'
aaa 12.35 bbb ccc 11.24 ddd STANDARD aa bb cc 100 dd xxxxx yyyyy.
I want to extract the value 100 from this using charindex, substring and related functions. The value 100 (or 200, or 300) occurs after 4 blank spaces after STANDARD.
I want get the value in lying in between the 4th and 5th blank space after STANDARD. This would give me the value 100 as output. But to implement it, I am not able to write the functions!
I have a column that is populated similar to below
[URL] ....
I need to extract just the 12345 portion. This will always appear after the first "=" and always be proceeded by &UL. I know how I can do this separately, which would be like
To get 12345&UL
ltrim(rtrim(
substring(
replace(cast(MyCol as nvarchar(max)),
'=',
replicate(cast(' ' as nvarchar(max)),10000)),
10001, 10000)))
And then I could run an update on the table after doing the above step using something like
SUBSTRING(MyCol,0, CHARINDEX('&',MyCol))
What I'd like to do is to have everything performed in one step, the above 2 SQL statements combined as one statement, so a separate update does not need to be ran.

i've worked with SQL Databases for years now, but never needed to deal with international characters. I am trying to search strings like surname in a column that might have international letters/characters, such as:

It doesn't retrieves anything. I've googled for while in a hope to find some solution quickly, but to my surprise I couldn't. how to query string columns that include international characters such as above.I am using SQL Server 2012, Nvarchar(100) for column.

I am still learning T-SQL .Lets consider the table below, ID 1-3 shows our purchase transactions from various Vendors and ID 4-6 shows our payments to them
Table 1 - VendorTransactions
ID PARTY AMOUNT VOUCHER
---------------------------------------
1 A 5000 Purchase
2 B 3000 Purchase
3 C 2000 Purchase
4 A 3000 Payment
5 B 1000 Payment
6 C 2000 Payment
7 A 1000 Payment
Now we have a blank table Table 2 - Liabilities
ID PARTY AMOUNT
I want that SQL should look for each individual party from Table 1 and Calculate TOTAL PURCHASE and TOTAL PAYMENTS and then deduct TOTAL PAYMENTS from TOTAL PURCHASE so we get the remaining balance due for each party and then add the DIFFERENCE AMOUNT alongwith PARTY to the TABLE 2 so I can get the desired result like below
ID PARTY AMOUNT
-------------------------
1 A 1000
2 B 2000
3 C 0
I am creating a key-wording module where I want to search data using the comma separated words.And the search is categorized into comma ',' and minus '-'. Take a look on the example what I exactly want to do is
I have a main table name `tbl_main` in SQL
AS_ID KWD
1 Man,Businessman,Business,Office,confidence,arms crossed
2 Man,Businessman,Business,Office,laptop,corridor,waiting
3 man,business,mobile phone,mobile,phone
4 Welcome,Greeting,beautiful,bride,celebration,wedding,woman,happiness
5 beautiful,bride,wedding,woman,happiness,mobile phone,talking
6 woman,girl,Digital Tablet,working,sitting,online
7 woman,girl,Digital Tablet,working,smiling,happiness,hand on chin
If serch text is = Man,Businessman then result AS_ID is =1,2
If serch text is = Man,-Businessman then result AS_ID is =3
If serch text is = woman,girl,-Working then result AS_ID is =4,5
What is the best why to do this?
A trigger existed on the job steps table which captured any changes before and after. The insert table was limited changes to 4000 characters.
SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition (11.0.5058.0) on Windows Server 2008 R2
At some point a few months ago we encountered an issue where we hit a size limit of ~4000 characters on the amount of text we could enter into a Transact-SQL step of an Agent job. Attempting to create a job like this with sp_add_job will produce the error
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_add_jobstep_internal, Line 255
String or binary data would be truncated.
Adding the job step via SSMS yields
Alter failed for JobStep 'xxx'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Additional information:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 8152)
I've checked sp_add_jobstep_internal, sp_add_jobstep and the sysjobsteps table and all references to the command field are nvarchar(max). We can run the same job creation code without error on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition machine and two SQL Server 2012 SP2 Developer Edition boxes. All our 2012 servers were fresh installs, not upgrades.
When we are getting data in a table and we want to replace characters with other characters. For example, We have a table with a street address, and there are numerous ascii character values we want to review and replace if they exist. We were looking at using a table with 2 columns, 1 containing each ascii character value the other it's preferred replacement value. Then updating the street address searching through each ascii character and replacing it if needed. Currently, we are running it through a looping process searching each individual address for each ascii character, and updating it.

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:
1 - 3 days
4 - 7 days
8 - 10 days
What would be my best methodology of removing the space between numerics only? I have seen multiple examples of how to remove ALL whitespace, but I only want to remove the space between the numbers and the hyphen *IF* it exists. And the field type is varchar(200)
