Trim Trailing White Spaces
Nov 14, 2006Hi All,
I have a column which has some white spaces that I suspect is tab delimeted one. So when I use a rtrim(col1) it would not trim those. So i used a scrip component and wrote this line,
Row.trimDetail = RTrim(Row.detail)
here trimdetail is an o/p column and detail is the input col with the trailing spaces.
but still I don know why the column has that spaces. Can someone help me to figure out what is the problem ?
Thanks in advance,

Average Of Middle 90%
Sep 21, 2007Hello all!This might be a newbie question, and there might be something Im just not thinking of right now, but I have a set of values that I need to get the average of but only from the middle 90%. Example:11 <-From here1234456 <- To here.7I thought I could solve it by subqueries and do the following:Select (((Select sum top 5 order asc) + (Select sum top 5 order desc)) - sum total)/rows*0.9 which would give me what I want, but I realised that when aggregating I cant order the subqueries.This is for an application (that will run the query on a sql-server) that only takes one query (although subqueries should be fine), and thats why I have a problem, I cant build any views or things like that.I guess my question is very simple: How can I get a sum of the bottom 5 percent without sorting descending?

Help Trim Or Len
Jan 29, 2007Guys/Girls
Have a small problem I have received a load of data in a flat file format and each column has dividend up with a comma. I have stuck the whole row in to its own column.
What I want to do is take the first 12 characters of the row and put them in there own column.
I think I need to use the Len function or the trim function, so can some body point me in the right direction on how to do this.

Returning Middle Records
Dec 7, 2006I'm writing a page that will return data from my database to the user based on their search paramaters, over several pages with 20 matching records showing per page, and a next button on the bottom. Similar to the format of any search engine.
However, I'd like to write this into the query, and I'm not sure how I would go about doing so. For example:
"SELECT TOP 20 to 40 * FROM Northwind"
Hopefully this makes sense. Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks in advance,Russ
Only Put A Period . If There Is A Middle Intial.
Dec 29, 2003I am trying to concatenate three fields into one in a View. I have the following data:
Last Name
First Name
Middle Initial (can be null)
I need my resultant field data to look like the following:
"Doe, John P."
I'm having a problem writing SQL that is sensitive to placing the period after the middle initial only if there is a middle initial present. If there isn't a middle initial, I just want the following: "Doe, John".
I have tried the following CASE statement:
CASE WHEN middleInitial IS NOT NULL THEN ' ' + middleInitial + '.' ELSE '' END
However, I get an error indicating that the CASE statement is not supported in the Query Designer.
How can I resolve this problem in a View? Is there a function similar to ISNULL(middleInitial, '') that would allow for the "."?

Middle Search Support
Oct 26, 2006Some of the databases that I inherited contain search that are based on finding a string anywhere within a last name such as:
WHERE lastName like '%smith%'
It is desired that each of these names be returned:
Smith
Smithson
Nesmith
What is presently done is that updates to the last name fields trigger that substrings of the last name be sent off into a substring table wtih retention of no 2-char substrings. For these three last names the following would be kept:
(1) Smith, (2) mith, (3) ith and (4) th
(1) Smithson, (2) mithson, (3) ithson, ..., (n) on
(1) Nesmith, (2) esmith, (3) smith, ... (n) th
The where now becomes
WHERE lastNameSub like 'smith%'
This seems to make the search routine by last name faster. I would like to improve on this if I can. Suggestions?

Trim Character
Jul 5, 2007OK, the problem is like this; say the table is sumthing like this
i have a table 't3' has 3 fields
id(number,2)
date(date/time)
text(varchar,200)
eg. id date text
-----------------------
01 05-jul-07 abcdefghijkl (i want to get rid of the first 6 characters i.e. abcdef)
i want to display 'text' field from t3 table but with the first 6 characters trimmed/removed (i want to get rid of the 6 first characters)
so i did:
select LTRIM(text,6) from t3
but the above code didn't work because LTRIM only trims spaces NOT characters... Is there any way that i can trim off the first 6 characters from every record in the 'text' field?
