I have column with location for all reports, dashboards, images, pages in URL format from Sharepoint audit database. Like
sites/fm/finance/PowerPivot Gallery/FinancialStatement.rdlx
sites/ea/Mn_medical/Pages/Medical_DP/3 Site Compare.aspx
There are millions of rows like the above URLs. I need to separate all the strings from that ULR separated by "/" and make column for each so that I can create a hierarchy in tabular model. How do I write a sql for that. I could get first one and last ones with these kinds of substring:
I am an absolute beginner with SQL Server 2005 Express, and I want to make a new table in my database that stores web URLs and their Username and Password info. When I try to add a URL to the URL column, it says
Error Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Error Message: String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
I assume this means that the URL is too long to fit in the data type I specified, but I've tried almost every single data type there is, and I keep getting the same error. I was wondering if anyone knew what was wrong.
I am trying to build a DIM table using a source table that has the following setup...
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[APPL_STATUSES]( [APPLICATIONS_ID] [varchar](10) NOT NULL, [POS] [decimal](10, 0) NOT NULL, [APPL_STATUS] [varchar](5) NULL, [APPL_STATUS_DATE] [datetime] NULL, [APPL_APPLICANT] [varchar](10) NULL) GO
[code]....
What I am trying to do is to break out the APPL_STATUS_DATE into a STATUS_START_DATE and an STATUS_END_DATE in a new table. I also need to be able to update the STATUS_END_DATE based on the previous day's date. Like so...
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[APPL_APPLICANT_STATUSES]( [APPLICATIONS_ID] [varchar](10) NOT NULL, [POS] [decimal](10, 0) NOT NULL, [APPL_STATUS] [varchar](5) NULL, [STATUS_START_DATE] [datetime] NULL, [STATUS_END_DATE] [datetime] NULL, [APPL_APPLICANT] [varchar](10) NULL) GO

Hi, I have to create a datebase for an assignment and I am using MSSQL and need a little bit of help for something that I don't think can actually be done. Basically I have an artist table. Now each artist may well have a website of their own where their biography can be found. In my artist table I have an artist_bio field where I want the URL of the artists bio to be placed and only the URL. So for example I would want www.iamanartist.com/mybio to be put into that field. So I was wondering if there was a constraint that could do this? I don't think there is because URLS can be so complicated but if someone could tell me whether it is or isn't possible I would be really grateful. I am also wanting to do something similar with the location of a hardcopy of their work. So I have a digital_images table with a location field where the loaction of their work will be on a harddrive. Is this possible or not as well? Cheers for any help you can give, Liam
with varchars having a max of 8000 bytes and partly because of the coder before me, I'm stuck with using text. the text has a maximum of 30,000 characters, i've tried everything to try to separate the text into 4 different varchars to no avail.. none of the string functions (left, substring, right) works on a text field, and when i try to convert it to a varchar (i.e. convert(varchar(8000), @text)) it obviously only takes the first 8000 characters...
what can i do in this case? any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!
i have written a query I was SO proud of but THEN was told to separate the values out of one column. simple way to do this without having to rewrite the whole query? Will I need to include a Case statement?
Basically the column contains several types of vacation codes which will need to be renamed to 2. So there is leave 1, leave 2, and leave 3 and sick. I will need to rename all leave 1, 2, and 3 to just vacation and leave sick as sick.
I want to be able to open URLs in a new window in my SSRS report, and the URLs keep changing in every record. The problem is these links are not the only things present in the record, and there is other data present. I keep seeing examples where they are considering only a link to be present in the record with no other data.
Also the data in the record includes HTML tags and I checked the option that says "HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles" on the placeholder properties window.
Example of data in the record: Hello! Welcome to google, the most used search engine. Click on www.google.com to go the website
So when I click on the www.google.com URL, it should open in a new window.
I know of several methods to remove duplicate records but I recently encountered a unique situation where some duplicate records were actually acceptable.
Here is my situation:
I have a table that contains records of individuals who have children so 1 person can have 3 children with different birthdates; but there is also a field that has a specified language. The challenge arises when an individual may have only 1 child but has entered a single record twice. Once with a specifed language and again without which produces a default value of UNKNOWN.
I need to be able to remove this record without affecting records that may have a record entered twice as well; having 2 children for instance but they may also have a specified language in one record but a default value of UNKNOWN for their second record.
So I can't eliminate the unwanted duplicates by filtering out records that have UNKNOWN because I would also remove individuals that I need.
EX: firstN | lastN | address | lang | childs birthdate John Doe 210 Somewhere Ave ENG 1993-10-09 John Doe 210 Somewhere Ave UNK 1993-10-09 Jane Doe 210 Anywhere Ave ENG 1969-12-23 Jane Doe 210 Anywhere Ave UNK 1958-04-15
How could you remove the duplicate for John in this example without affecting Janes duplicate record which is actually ok because she apparently has 2 children with different birthdates whereas John's duplicate record is obviously created because it was entered twice; once without entering a language and the second time specifying the language?
I have tried a number of things short of creating a cursor which isn't really the best way to resolve this issue since there are millions of rows.
Anyone out there have any input that be helpful? Or has anyone ever had this similar issue? I would be interested in knowing how you addressed the problem.
with Sample(Size) as ( select '16.3 Oz.' union all '1' as union all '2 Tablespoons' union all '46. Oz. Each' )
Iwant to separate number and alphabets. But i wanted to keep the dot to have decimal values. Expected output
select '16.3' as val1 'Oz' as val2 union all '1' val1 as union all '2' as val1 'Tablespoons' as val2 union all '46' as val1 'Oz Each' as val2
Please note that i need to remove the extra dots at the end of the the val1 and no dots in val2
I rid some of the functions like dbo.fn_StripCharacters and dbo.fn_GetAlphabetsOnly ffound in the internet. evey with my own logic. i couldn't remove the dot which appear at the end of val1
Now my requirement is to search for FIleTYPE in above table by passing @Filename as parameter and that should return Val as response. How to write a search query for this type.
The hex values will then be concatenated together and stored as a string (varchar). The application will handle the creation of the complex key
= ‘1BF714C8A0D4F699-4D2-F’
I am trying to argue against this approach and get them to store the values in their native form, in separate columns as a natural key.
To make matters worse, we need to use partitioning, where the partition boundary will be on a hexed datetime2(5) at weekly intervals. I was really hoping a proof of concept would show that hex string comparison could potentially put a row under a wrong partition, but so far, on an 8 million rowset, it is working fine.
For example, in the proof of concept, right partition boundary:
How is this working, given that the string lengths (varchar) are different and the row value contains dashes and the partition boundaries are smaller in length without dashes? How varchar string comparison is working here?
I am trying to compare the ADDRESS FIELDS Between 2 tables in SQL SERVER 2008. However when I run the comparisons below it throws the error below:
Query: select inner JOIN TABLE2 B ON COLLOAN= COLLOAN1 a.ADDRESS<>b.PropertyAdd
Error : Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_Pref_CP437_CI_AS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN" in the equal to operation.
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.

Very strange phenomenon with the "Jump to report:" Hyerlink Actions when I deployed my reports to the production servers:
The Actions no longer funcioned properly when attempting to go to one report to another. Sometimes, the same report would come up and sometimes a different report. It appeared that whatever mechanism Report Server uses to construct the proper URL when using "Jump to report:" is unreliable(or the URL is not being honored by the web-server).
All this is happening under the Report Viewer control. I have had to do a painful fix of manually constructing the entire absolute URL and including the reportviewer control in the url.
Any way to get back relative Jump to report: URL's?
I would like to offer you the following string functions Transact-SQL
GETWORDCOUNT() Counts the words in a string GETWORDNUM() Returns a specified word from a string AT() Returns the beginning numeric position of the first occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character RAT() Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string OCCURS() Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression PADL() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the left side PADR() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the right side PADC() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the both sides PROPER() Returns from a character expression a string capitalized as appropriate for proper names RCHARINDEX() Is similar to a built-in function Transact-SQL charindex but the search of which is on the right ARABTOROMAN() Returns the character Roman number equivalent of a specified numeric expression ROMANTOARAB() Returns the number equivalent of a specified character Roman number expression ...

I am pleased to offer, free of charge, the following string functions Transact-SQL:
AT(): Returns the beginning numeric position of the nth occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character. RAT(): Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string. OCCURS(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (including overlaps). OCCURS2(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (excluding overlaps). PADL(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the left side. PADR(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the right side. PADC(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the both sides. CHRTRAN(): Replaces each character in a character expression that matches a character in a second character expression with the corresponding character in a third character expression. STRTRAN(): Searches a character expression for occurrences of a second character expression, and then replaces each occurrence with a third character expression. Unlike a built-in function Replace, STRTRAN has three additional parameters. STRFILTER(): Removes all characters from a string except those specified. GETWORDCOUNT(): Counts the words in a string. GETWORDNUM(): Returns a specified word from a string. GETALLWORDS(): Inserts the words from a string into the table. PROPER(): Returns from a character expression a string capitalized as appropriate for proper names. RCHARINDEX(): Similar to the Transact-SQL function Charindex, with a Right search. ARABTOROMAN(): Returns the character Roman numeral equivalent of a specified numeric expression (from 1 to 3999). ROMANTOARAB(): Returns the number equivalent of a specified character Roman numeral expression (from I to MMMCMXCIX).
AT, PADL, PADR, CHRTRAN, PROPER: Similar to the Oracle functions PL/SQL INSTR, LPAD, RPAD, TRANSLATE, INITCAP.
Plus, there are CHM files in English, French, Spanish, German and Russian.

Is it possible to search a string/value across 1000's of tables and just display the table name and column name which it is in. I don't need to know every instance of the string/value only that I can find it in a given table name.
