View 11 RepliesI have a column Sports which contains a string.the string is comma delimited, so may contain e.g. 1,3,2,6,8,19 or 6,22,13 etc.What is (performance wise) the fastest way to select all the rows where the number 2 is in the Sports column.....?(I can't search on ",2," since "2" may also be at the start of the string....)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 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

2 Â Â Â Â Â Extracts^This^String2
3 Â Â Â Â Â Extracts^This^String3
Is there a way to extract this either using TSQL or SSIS.

I have a script that creates and populates several tables. However I only want this to occur if one table has a row count greater than zero. I'm trying to use GOTO to script to the end of the script. However I get the message "A GOTO statment references the label 'MYLABEL' but the label has not been declared." How can I do this.
I have something similiar to the following in my script:
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MYTABLE) = 0
BEGIN
PRINT 'NO ROWS FOUND'
GOTO MYLABEL
END
CREATE TABLE X...
SELECT INTO X FROM Y ...
ETC. ETC.
MYLABEL:

This chunk of code is used in an XML file which, once this XML is imported (using sharepoint by the way if you haven't noticed), I can then search through tables with different filters. Well, my date filter isn't working the same way as my other ones. I have a couple different date filters, but none of them work.
Before I ask my question, I only pass in one variable at a time through my code.... the rest of the variables get a default value passed to them if the user doesn't pass it. That value is simply '%'. Anyways, so the different ways a user can type in a date is by typing in the whole date, part of the date starting with the beginning of it, typing in the end of the date, or typing something within the date. For a string it's like 'Example', 'Exam%', '%ple', and '%amp% respectively. How do I accomplish this with a date?

Searching through a database with data stored as text places a huge load onthe server. I've seen some applications that use some sort of word indexingthat helps speed things up.Is this the recommended strategy? And if so, how is this implemented andare there any articles that detail this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,Does anyone have any suggestions on an approach to speed this upplease?I need to check a given column in a given table to see whether thereare any characters within any of the records that fall outside of arange of valid ASCII characters.My problem is that of speed. The approach I have taken is to write afunction that iterates the string character by character and checks theASCII value at the current position. If it is deemed invalid I drop outof the function and return True. The calling procedure then knows tostop searching as the table column has already failed.Running down a table of million rows, can take up to an hour dependingon the datatype and level of data population.If I write the same thing in Access 2003 VBA and run it via ODBC ittakes a matter of minutes.I would like to find a set-based way of doing this maybe PATINDEX orsomething else creative but am stumped.Does anyone have any brilliant ideas?Thank you!

Hi,I'd be interested in people's thoughts about the following. A user on my site will be searching for a venue name, and that could officially include a sponsor which the user might not search for. Now I am using the AutoCompleteDropdown from the AJAX Control Toolkit, so the user will start typing in a few characters and the results will be returned. I can generate the results from sql by doing a simple LIKE '%' + @searchTerm + '%' however, this fills me with great fear of table scans. At the moment, we'd be querying against a table of 5K records, but our application is very new.I'm thinking one option is to split the words into another table - a one to many relationship to hold each word of the venue. The benefit of this would be that you could do a:LIKE @term + '%'but then I have the cost of the join. (And the added complexity which is not a major issue)Any thoughts/tips?Thanks!

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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
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.
My problem is that i can't search a field that contains Asian characters (Korean in this case).
The table user_Access_tab have 2 keys:
access_id nVarchar(50)
user_id nVarchar(50)
The sql query below is sent through a oledbcommand to a sql server 2005 database.
"select access_id, access_right from user_Access_tab where user_id ='HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 ì˜¤ì „ 11:50:323401'"
It doesn't show any hits even thogh i know there is a number of matching records.
The question doesn't generate an answer in SQL server manager studio eigher.
If i change the datatype on user_id to Varchar(50) the id is presented (in the database) as:
HQ001kimjo012007-05-07 ?? 11:50:323401
Then the question works, but why doesn't it work with nVarChar(50)?

I am trying to make a query that will group my errors messages together - my problem is that each of the error messages is unique, due to them having an unique id in them.
"GROUP BY LIKE '%ThePartToGroupBy%'"
Here is a sample order # we used for one of our shipments: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
I need to extract the "24954" portion of that order # while within an INNER JOIN, but not sure how.
My problem is we have 2 order tables: OrderTable1 contains a field with the full order #. OrderTable2 contains a field with only the "24954" portion. I need to JOIN on these 2 fields somehow.
So an example would be the following:
OrderTable1.Full_Order_No: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
OrderTable2.Order_No: 24954
SELECT
ot1.Full_Order_No
, ot2.Order_No
FROM
OrderTable1 ot1
INNER JOIN OrderTable2 ot2 ON ot2.Order_No = [do something here to truncate ot1.Full_Order_No]
How can I do this?
Few notes:
-the 1st part of the order number, "BL-53151-" will ALWAYS be the same. It's our client # which will never change for the purpose of this query.
-The portion I need (24954) can be more or less than the 5 current digits.
-There will always be 6 portions to the order number, split up between 5 dashes.

Hi all I was wondering whether it was possible to remove or delete part of a String in a Field? Lets take for example I have:
- A Table called: Table_1
- A Field called: MyField
- MyField contains the value: Hello I am on the msdn forums
Is it possible to perform an UPDATE Query which deletes part of that sentence? If this was hard coded it would be rather simple but if the phrase was changing which would lead to the sentence also changing is it possible to do this?
Lets say I wanted to remove the part which said msdn forums. Then UPDATE the field again which should leave out the bit msdn forums.
Appreciate the responses, Onam.

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!
