The input is like this : xxxxxxxx=yyyyy=key_id=12345xyxyx
I would like to use the right function and get 12345xyxyx alone. The function must search for the first '=' symbol from the right of the word and get the characters from the end till the '=' symbol.
I want to extract two strings from xxxxx - yyyyyy separately as xxxxx and yyyyyy. The source always has two strings brought together with a - symbol. How to extract these two strings.

Hello All,
I need to determine that a piece of XML in a character field or variable is well-formed XML. I need to store this validation result (valid or not valid flag) in the table.
Does SQL provide some function for this? Is there any other way?
Thank you!

HI there,
Is there a function on transact SQL which test if a character belong to expression,I want to select from a table only the address that contain '@'.
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
Once again I find myself smacking my head into a wall (and it will probably be for naught). I'm trying to find a specific character in a string within a specific record. I've tried substring, but it's not quite getting me where I want to be. I even tried "nesting" the substring and got nowhere (but I could have had the syntax wrong when I nested it).
Here is a sample
Select substring(productimagefile, 20, 5)
from my table
What I need is something like this:
Select substring(findoneof(productimagefile, _r, 1), 1, 5)
from my table
Actually, on the start of the substring, I need it to be where it finds the _r, just not sure how to tell it that.
The replace function is the closest I've seen to what I need, but I don't want to replace it with anything, I just need to find it in the string.
So, if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful (and my head would stop hurting....)

Dear all,
I want to know difference between Metadata function and Transact-SQL. When to use metadata function and when Transact-SQL like
To know database exists in SQL Server we have two options
through Transact-SQL
if not exists(select * from sysdatabases where name = 'Testing')
through Metadata function
if db_id('Testing') is not null
When should I use Transact-SQL and when metadata function.

I have tried with tablesample but it doesn´t return what I expect because I have many villages from one city (for example 15 % of it) and only 2 % of other. How can I achieve my goal?
SSMS does not like mine! THis is the error that I receive:

I have an SP that is working, it creates a Union between 3 tables then creates a single table - I am using Visual studio Grid Control to view this by a browser, its working. at the bottom of the SP is a line of code that calls a function, the function queries a View. When I run the SP, SQL returns the data from the Union plus the data from the select statement on the Function. This all works but I can't get the data returned by the function query onto a browser.
I am doing it this was as the parameters in my SP are also used when calling the function, works really well. Is GTotal a return value?

I have a really basic question. The following SQL query works for me:
Select EnterUserID, Enterdate
from tblCsEventReminders
where EnterDate >= Convert(datetime, '2015-04-01')
I am essentially trying to write a query to count the number of user logins after a certain date, so I need to count 'EnterUserID' but I am having problems getting the count() function to work.
I've a scalar function which is killing my performance. I've been used the SQL profiler and also DMVs to catch execution information. I'd like to store the value received by this function and also the time that it happened, but I can't think in a way to do it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a query that uses the PIVOT function and works fine in SQL 2012. I've been asked to move the query to a database that has the compatibility level set to 80(SQL 2000). I receive an "Incorrect syntax near" error when I try to excute the query on the SQL 2000 database. I would like to duplicate the exiting PIVOT functionality in SQL 2000.The existing query retrieves employee names and the order that the employee should be displayed from a table. The names will appear on the report according to the order that is retrieved from the database. Also, the users have requested that only 5 names appear on each row of the report. This is why the PIVOT function was needed. Below is an example of how the existing query works.
Table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EmpGuest](
[Guest_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Guest_Name] [varchar](80) NULL,
[Display_Order] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
[code]....
SQL Sever 2012, I have a table where I store data related with a Log, the columns of the table are three, IDTable, DateLog and CountLog, the column CountLog is a cumulative value, each new rows can increment this value, my query will receive two parameters related with the Date, @dateFrom and @dateTo, with this information is necesary to get the diff between two months, for example:
CREATE TABLE MyTable
(
IDTable INT IDENTITY NOT NULL,
DateLog DATE NOT NULL,
CountLog INT NOT NULL
)
[code]....
In this case I need to apply a filter with the Dates:
@dateFrom ='2014-01-01',
@dateTo ='2014-04-28'
But according with this filter I need to limit the results only for this period between the date, but I need that the first month (January 2014) take the information of the max value from previous month even not included in the filter, in this case the results will be the next:
Id MonthYear Diff
1 Jan2014 5
2 Feb2014 3
3 March2014 0
4 April2014 5
With the results, for the first mont (January) is, according to the range of times, January is the lower limit,the last cumulative value of CountLog before the first month of the range was 2 (December 2013), the max value of the CountLog for this first month was 7, the diff is 7-2 equal to 5 , in the case of the next month (February) the max value of the CountLog was 10, the diff is 10 - 7 equal to 3 and this way.

I have a work database where I implemented a table-valued function. One colleague of mine reported to me that this function gave a Divide by Zero error when executed with some specific values given to its arguments (there are a 15 arguments). Then I started debugging, and I introduced some exit points to the function before its end in order to detect the point where the error appeared, since I don't have access to the database server and I cannot use the debugging tools from remote, due to the network configuration of my office. I can only do attempts on the code to try to find a solution.
Since I didn't manage to get rid of this error, I decided to make a silly and desperate attempt: I put a RETURN statement immediately after the BEGIN of the function body, with the idea that the function should not raie any error if it exit immediately after its beginning, despite the fact that this results in an empty table in return.
The result of my attempt is that the Divide by Zero error is still THERE (!), even if my function looks like
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo][<myFuncName>](...parameters...) RETURNS TABLE (...table definition...) AS BEGIN
RETURN
END
GO
How I can check it.
How can i subtract two columns:
I have table:
ID COL 1 COL 2
-------------------------
1 200.00 70.00
2 200.00 30.00
3 200.00 90.00
4 200.00 110.00Col1 - COL2
But to continue for each row and value is reduced by the previously value.
My output should be like as:
ID COL 1 COL 2 [COL3 AS RESULT]
-------------------------
1 200.00 70.00 130
2 200.00 30.00 100
3 200.00 90.00 10
4 200.00 110.00 -100

Periodically throughout the day a report is manually pulled from a SQL Server database. Is their a way w/o me adding a field to the database to have the result set return the "new" results? For example, lets say this is our DDL
Create Table OneTwoThree
(
id int
,date11 datetime
,firefly varchar(10)
)
Insert Into OneTwoThree Values (1, '08/03/2015 18:43:32.012', 'Hi'), (2, '08/03/2015 18:44:11.011', 'No'),
(3, '08/03/2015 19:36:33.011', 'Second'), (4, '08/03/2015 19:37:33.011', 'Alpha')
Prior I could use this syntax, but that was only with needing to generate 1 result set.
Select id, convert(varchar(10), date11, 101) As [Date], firefly from onetwothree
where CONVERT(varchar(10), date11, 101) < CONVERT(varchar(10), GetDate(), 101)
Looking at my datetime values, let's say the 1st was generated at 18:45, obviously the 1st two records in the table would be returned. And let's say a 2nd time I need to generate I want to exclude the 1st two entries as they have already been verified. How can I do such w/o adding a field to the table?
Hello, DECLARE @x DECIMAL

Consider the following: I have a table, say ORDERS, with these entries -
CustID
ProductID
1 CAN
2 2
3 1,2
4 4
5 1,2,3,4,5,CAN
6 10
7 CAN
8 1,CAN
I'd like to write a script to return only those rows WHERE ProductID = CAN along with other values in the same column. In this example, I'd like to return rows 5 & 8. How can I write this in T-SQL? So, say, check if ProductID has a comma ',' value plus the 'CAN' string. If yes, then return that row. If I use the LIKE operator, it'll return rows 1,5,7, and 8.
We are not allowed to write delete statement in a function. It will give the below error.

I know it's a bit of a strange question, but I'm writing a dynamic software that will have the ability to run Stored Procedures on any database to create some data-checks. Through parametrisation, a user can define for a specific Stored Procedure that some results are no longer necessary in the result-set.
Example:
ID - Name - State
1 - Jozef De Veuster - Mad
2 - Piet Husentruut - Not Happy
3 - Jeroen Meus - Angry
Is the result of a Stored Procedure "Show_me_unhappy_persons". But we already know that Jozef De Veuster is ALWAYS Mad, so a user can say: Exclude ID = 1, so it won't appear anymore in the result.
I want to handle this by doing:
SELECT *
FROM PeopleStates
WHERE --Some stuff--
AND CheckUserExclusions(SomeID)
And CheckUserExclusions will translate to "NOT (ID = 1)"
