I have an SQL 2000 database with several tables that are populated using various forms. One or more of the forms is causing the several fields to fill in with data input plus empty spaces to the right for the full character length assigned. Is there a routine or database feature in Visual Studio that can trim off all trailing spaces in all fields in a database table? Is there a compacting routine that might be called?
Thank you
greetings!! the below trigger works fine in SQL 2000 and doesn't takeup much resources, it's a very simple solution to trim text fields atinput in SQL. I know a lot of folks will say to create input masks atthe UI level and that SQL is a restricted back-end DB, but to be quitehonest I don't trust those UI guys and as a DBA I will have to cleanthe mess when they forget to validate. Hope it can be usefull to anyof you too. ;)----------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TRIGGER [TRIMMER_TGR] ON [dbo].[MyTable]AFTER INSERT, UPDATEASIF UPDATE (MyStringField)DECLARE @TRIMMEDFIELD NVARCHAR(50)DECLARE @MYID INTSELECT @TRIMMEDFIELD = MyStringField from InsertedSELECT @MYID = ID from InsertedBEGINUPDATE tblDocket SET MyStringField = RTRIM(LTRIM(@TRIMMEDFIELD))WHERE ID = @MYIDEND
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a table with a keyword field. In this keyword field some of the entries have a space before the word and some don't.
How can I remove all of the spaces from the fields that have them and not trim from the ones that don't.
Hello, I attempt to export a CSV formatted file from SSRS and if the field is not containing data, a space is added to the field.
output:
4, ,1, , , ,
desired output:
4,,1,,,,
I know it is just a property setting. If someone can instruct me on the correct setting to adjust, I would greatly appreciate your help!
Hello all, i'm new to using sql server. i was wondering if i anyone can assist me with the following:
M5 - AJJJJJJJ
How can i just get the '5' in another column? Thank you.
I have a field in my SQL table that is defined Decimal(10,8), which
provides me with the ability to have up to 8 digits after the decimal
place, however, if I store a value such as 3.14, it is stored as
3.14000000. This is fine in the database, but it is the same when it's
returned. I have tried using Convert.ToDecimal on my returned row but
it doesn't work. The value at runtime appears as 3.14D in the locals
window but displays with all the insignifcant digits.
Any ideas what's happening or if there is an easy way to trim the trailing zeros?
Hi,
Probably easy but I'd like the best way to do it:
I have a datetime column with A LOT of rows. I'd like a select statement to return each date with everything after the hour part set to zero.
For example, if my column has the following values:
2004-11-03 13:03:36.876
1999-02-17 01:56:12.126
Should return:
2004-11-03 13:00:00.000
1999-02-17 01:00:00.000
I know I can do this with a function and a couple of casts but there must be an easier (and faster) way!?!?
Thanks,

Hi all,
i have a table in SQL with +- 5000 phone numbers in various styles
e.g.

Do i have to write 10 replace after each other or is there an easier way to format the phone numbers?
Thx in advance!!
I would love to see an automatic trimming transformation. We currently have 14 different ERP systems throughout our company and almost everything we do, when it comes to strings, requires trimming. Although doing it through the derived column task is somewhat easier, it is very time consuming and error proned, if you overlook a column or two.

When I go to the GUI in Enterprise Manager to check the space used by my database it says 11,790.05. It also says that my database is 13GB.
My database`s size should be 10GB and my log space is 3 GB.
Is this a case where my database is full and is using space in my log?
Is there another way to detemine how much space my data is actually occupying?
Thanks,
Bob
Hi !
When i try to check the space used in one of the databases in my server
I don't get the correct statistics on the bar graph. The statistics show that the database size & the space used are same.It is not the same for all the databases.
The database size is 17500MB.I did increase the database size to 18000MB
but the situation has not improved.
I tried running the sp_space used and i get the following output:
database_name database_size unallocated space
------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------
VSI 18000.00 MB -3553.26 MB
reserved data index_size unused
------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
22070542 KB 19325744 KB 2689192 KB 55606 KB
Why does the 'unallocated space show in -ve ?
Also, the database size as u can see is 18000MB but the reserved space shows 22070542MB.
Now i have a new problem, the Log also seems to have run out of space.
when i run the dbcc sqlperf(logspace) i see that the space used is 100%.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Is anyone knows how to get the space used for both the data and the log
of a database using the system tables ? I was able to get the database size
but don't know how to compute for the space used.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
My sql database is showing space available for one of the database is 0.
I have got SQL Server 2005 Ent. Edition(32bit). File growth for .mdf file is set to Autogrowth 10% growth Unrestricted.
I have got lots of physical space on hard drive, why then it is showing 0.00 space available for database. What do i need to do to free up space.
When i ran sp_spaceused it gave me following results
database_name database_size unallocated space
XXXX 1817.31 MB 0.00 MB
reserved data index_size unused
1860760 KB 1763496 KB 13240 KB 84024 KB
I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me what is going on over here and would this slow down the data access?
Regards

What is the best suggestion to do if a database is using more than 95% of its space. Should I leave it as is and it will grew when it needs? Or do an action. What action?
Is your solution the same for log file as well?

Folks:
One of my user database has grown to almost 50 GB and most of the space is used by these 2 user tables. The number of rows has in each table is around 5500, but the reservered is very high. What can be done to reduce the space so that my database growth can be brought down.

Is it possible to select the available space of the database in a microsoft sql MSDE edition?

Hi
Please help me in resolving the proble.
Database properties showing space available for database is 0.00mb
physical available space on HDD is around 32 GB... Db size is 5gb...but im bit worried about the size what is being displayed....
Settings in my database
General
1) Size of db: 14306.45MB
2) Space available: 0.00MB
Data Files
1) Automatically grow file
2) File growth By Percent: 10
3) Maximum file size: Unlimited file growth
Transaction log
1) Automatically grow file
2) File growth By Percent: 10
3) Maximum file size: Unlimited file growth
Options
1) AutoShrink
I'm worried about this "space available: 0.00MB". What kind of impact will it create?
If I set all settings to unlimited file growth, does it mean my database can grow as big as my physical harddisk space allows? Does this also means I do not have to worry about database allocation?
Please help me

Hi there,
When SQL Runs out of space, I find that once you clear some more space on the drive, a reboot is necessary otherwise web applications will time out once there is a substantial amount of load on the server. Has anyone else find this to be the case and if so Im just curious why this is so?
Very new to the world of databases. Our current database situation is a train wreck, but I'm not at the point I can fix it. So, all I'm trying to do right now is copy our 'live' database so that we can use the copy for development, without worrying about blowing things up.
Anyhow, the problem I have is that when I backup, and then try to restore the 'live' database, I'm told the drive doesn't have enough space, which is accurate (only has 1gig, needs 3gigs). FYI, EVERYTHING that has to do with our databases is currently on a 14gb partition, of which 13gigs are being used. There is an empty partition of 120gb just sitting there.
Can somebody tell me what is the best way to get this 3gb development database up? I tried to route the Data and Transaction Log paths to the empty partition, but it still seemed to want to mess with the 14gb partition and told me there isn't enough space when I tried to restore.
I want to use RAID 1 for System database with sQL Server 2005 64 bit.
Not including TEMPDB.
Is there any point(s) or fact that i should be aware of before I decide on space requirements for system databases(not including TEMPDB). and what should be recommended space keeping in mind the future growth for system databases.
or any factor(s) that can trigger size increase in them.....!
Many Thanks,
Hi,
