How to write the query to get the above table?
Hello, I need some help being pointed in the right direction. I have a field in my Customer table called Name that is "LastName,FirstName". I need to be able to return a result set with "FirstName,LastName". Any ideas?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm sure you all have seen situations where a field has a combined namein the format of "Lastname, Firstname Middlename" and I've seenexamples of parsing that type of field.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy users wanted to view all the "FIRST and LAST" Lastname in each of the LastName initial in the database.
I have been trying to join/connect/subquery/merge/etc the following two set of codes but without good results.
Fist, i get all the lastname initials:
SELECT DISTINCT LEFT(LastName, 1) AS LastNameInitial
FROM Persons.Persons
ORDER BY LastNameInitial
Results to:
--------------------------------------
A
B
C
D

Y
Z
Then, i want to get all the FIRST and LAST LastName for each LastNameInitial
I only have this partial idea (can't get the rest):
--------------------------------------
SELECT MIN(LastName) + ' - ' + MAX(LastName) AS LastNameGroup
FROM Persons.Persons
WHERE (LastName LIKE 'A' + '%')
Only results to:

Is there a function / way to extract a word from a particular position in the String.
I want to extract a word which is in the 16th position. All words are separated by spaces.
Hi,
I haven't found anything that shows that "sample" is a reserved word in SQL 2000. However when I enter it in Query Analyzer, the color changes to blue, as it is a transact-sql word. However, I'm still able to create a table called sample or name the column.
Does anybody know why query analyzer recognizes it as a transact-sql/reserverd word??
Thanks in advance,
Jorge
Is there a script that will return all rows in all tables that contain the word 'hello'?
I have (1) database named "Test" that has 129 tables in it and I just want to know which tables the word "hello" is in...
I am required to find or check that a specific word exists in string or not.
Suppose I have to find the word 'st' than I need the result true if and only if the following occurrences are there.
1. 'St is valid;' Â Â -> true
2. 'DOB is valid;ST is invalid;' Â Â -> true
3. 'DOB is valid; ST is invalid;'   -> true
4. 'DOB is valid;invalid ST;'   -> true
5. 'DOB is valid; invalid ST;'   -> true
6. 'DOB is valid; invalid STate;'Â Â Â -> false
Means the exact ST should be search. It is  not free text search.
T-SQL is needed to be used in select statement with case using PATINDEX, RegEx or any suitable t-sql command.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to use a UDT class. I'm simply trying to test out the class in a query window in the management studio. Here's the simple snippet:
declare @test TestObject;
set @test.FirstName = 'bob'
select @test.FirstName
Obviously my object has a string property called FirstName. When I execute this simple query I get the following error:
Mutator 'FirstName' on '@test' cannot be called on a null value.
Any ideas?
Hello fellows,
I am trying to write a query, here is the detail:
I have a table of users. Table schema:
FULL NAME, LOGIN
example data:
Anderman John, AndermaJ
Williams Robin, WilliamR
Foot Jay, FootJ
The LOGIN field will be my resulting field after I run my query.
It has a "FULL NAME" column, and a "LOGIN" column. I want to extract the first 7 characters of LAST Name from the FULL NAME field and extract the First Name Initial(just first letter of the first name) from the FULL NAME field and then set the LOGIN field with the resulting combination. The FULL NAME column is in the order of LastName FirstName.
Here is what I have been trying to write:
Declare @spacePos as int
Select @spacePos = charindex(' ', fullname) From TIUSER
Update TIUSER
SEt LOGIN = ltrim(Substring(fullname, 1, 7)) + Substring(fullname,@spacePos+1,1),
where @spacePos <> 0 and LOGIN = ' '
Currently we only have last and first names in our database and we will keep it that way since we don't store middle names and hopefully that will not be an issue.
But it seems that my solution was not working since if the last name is less than 7 characters then it should only grab upto the SPACE and not beyond that , but it was grabbing beyond the SPACE so how do you fix that?
That is I want atmost 7 characters from LAST NAME but incase of less than 7 then upto the space found.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Is the word "Name" a reserved word in SQL? look at line 10 of my stored procedure. When I use the word "Name"it is highlited in blue by SQL Server?

Hi all,
I work for a financial company where we send out lots of correspondence to clients on a daily and monthly basis. This would typically be something like a financial report, account statements, etc. We've decided to use PDF as the format which these documents must be in when our clients receive them.
Our marketing and sales departments designs the templates of these documents using Microsoft Word. They can save these MS Word documents in the Word XML format (either 2003 or 2007). We want it in XML format, because it is text based, and we can therefore string replace the content to update the template with a client€™s information. In the same token RTF would also do, but the file size when converted to RTF is a problem.
What I am looking for is a way to convert this XML into PDF using something like XSL-FO - i.e. we do not want to use the Word Interopt on our Production Server, firstly it is a little slow and secondly the production server is unmanned and we cannot allow a WinWord.EXE process to not close successfully for some or other reason.
I've tried a number of companies' evaluation software to try and achieve this (converting the WordML to PDF via XSL-FO), but so far no luck.
Does anybody know of a stylesheet out there with which I will be able to achieve this? Or an alternative method of converting MS Word files into PDF without using Word to do it?
Thank you in advance.

Hi there, i need to know how to cut a string to the nearest word. For example, i've got an article and i need to extract just a part of the beginning, i could use LEFT([content], 250) but there is little chance this will cut on a word. Therefore i need to know if there is a function that will cut to the nearest word in T-SQL or i will simply put a summary field in the database. (I prefer to generate the summary on the fly if possible)

Hi,
I was hoping somone could help. I need to count the number of words in a specfic column in a table if i didn't know what the words said.
I can count the number of words using
DECLARE @String VARCHAR(4000)
SET @String = ' words to be counted'
SELECT LEN(@String) - LEN(REPLACE(@String, ' ', '')) + 1
AS Results
but this requires me to know what the words are and not count them from the column.
Not sure if i am in the right forum or not.

This was cut-n-pasted here from a log file created by the actual SQL SERVER 2000 job created to run the afore-mentioned stored procedure.
After all that...my quandry is this:
What is the best way to send this info out in an email format to interested parties? Currently I have the job send out an email notification on completion, but that still requires my lazy buttocks to go look at the log file in the job (or, more accurately, on the server in the logfile directory).
I want to get the actual DATA as shown above into the email.
As I see it, my options are:
(1) write the data out to a flat file during the run (or, as is done now, into a log file by the SQL Server scheduled job) and then attach that FILE to the email - this still requires my lazy buttocks to OPEN the attachment that comes with the email.
ro (2) write the message out a line at a time to a table with an IDENTITY column (used to order them on the select) and a VARCHAR(128) column that each line in the log would be written to. This option allows me to just do a SELECT in the call to xp_sendmail to get the data into the actual email...but I just really hate the idea of creating a permanent table for this cheesy solution.
I tried it with a temp table within my stored proc, but of course, when I made the call to xp_Sendmail, it can't see my temp table in order to select from (mind you, it's not that I mind USING a cheesy table, just that I don't want it to have a lifespan longer than the time I need to use it and toss it aside)
I know the common denominator here is "My Lazy Buttocks", but I really can't understate the laziness of my buttocks, so this is a valid concern ;)
Any thoughts? How do people get status messages like this into an email without using an attachment or a cheesy middleman table?
Sorry, as always, about the miniseries...just trying to set the mood before popping the question ;)

Yesterday I installed MS SQL 2000 for the first time and have no idea what I'm doing.
I have been sent a database and asked to convert this to MS Access, for most of the data that is ok and I have already managed to do this. My problem is that the database contains MS Word documents stored in some of the tables (field type - image). I need to extract these from the database and get them back to individual Word files, ideally with a file name that relates them to the primary key of the table from which they came.
I have less that 24 hours experience with SQL server and would be very grateful if anyone can explain how I can do this.
Thank you for your help

Hi all,I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to simply replace instancesof a given string of text wherever it occurs in all tables and columnsfor a given database. I'm using SQL Server 2000 sp3.All the update/replace commands I've looked at so far seem to requireup-front knowledge of the schema. What I need is something thatwouldn't treat the database as structured. For example, it would beidealif SQL Server could dump out the database in an XML format (sincewe don't have a lot of data and lots of disk space I'm not too worriedabout space/performance issues), which I could then run sed orsomething similar to do the replacement and re-import the XML back in.That would be ideal, but so far I haven't seen anything that would letme do that. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Is there a simplerway?thanks,--dan
