Trimming Decimals

Aug 17, 2005

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?

Trimming A DateTime

Mar 16, 2004

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,

Skip.

Automatic Trimming Transformation

Mar 9, 2006

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.

Trimming Space In All Database Fields?

Nov 29, 2007

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

SQL Trigger For Trimming String Fields

Jul 20, 2005

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

Spaces On An Insert

Jan 7, 2003

Hi,

I am building my insert statements dynamically and am finding that there are spaces after certain integer fields.

example Insert Table A (col1, col2, col3)
values (1 ,'2',3 )

If col1 and col3 are integer fields, is there any affect to either how the value is stored or how it will be retrieved when the table is used in a join. By inspecting the values in the table, it seems fine. Do I need to worry?

Thanks,

Jim

Trailing Spaces

Apr 28, 2003

If I run SELECT Len(' ') it returns 0, if SELECT Len('a ') it returns 1
I need this to return the correct length including the space that on the end. I thought it was an ansi_padding problem but even turning padding on results in a 0 length. Any ideas? Thanks!

Erasing Spaces!

Apr 28, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am tring to join two tables. There is one problem of course. There is one column I would be able to join the two tables by. This column would be Loc_Code. The only problem is that both columns are not exactly the same. They look like this:

Table 1 Table 2
Loc_Code Loc_Code
A 12345 A12345
A 12346 A12346
A 12347 A12347
A 12348 A12348

I need to erase the spaces that exists in the Loc_Code column in table 1 so that I can join with table 2.


All help would be appreciated.

How To Ignore Spaces?

Jan 31, 2008

I'm writing a store procedure to accept search strings from user on my site. Currently, this is what I have.




Code Snippet
@schoolID int = NULL,
@scholarship varchar(250) = NULL,
@major varchar(250) = NULL,
@requirement varchar(250) = NULL
--@debug bit = 0
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT * FROM [scholarship]
WHERE ([sectionID] = @schoolID OR @schoolID IS NULL)
AND ([schlrPrefix] LIKE '%' + @scholarship + '%' OR [schlrName] LIKE '%' + @scholarship + '%' OR [schlrSufix] LIKE '%' + @scholarship + '%' OR @scholarship IS NULL )
AND ([Specification] LIKE '%' + @major + '%' OR @major IS NULL )
AND ([reqr1] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR [reqr2] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR [reqr3] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR [reqr4] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR [reqr5] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR @requirement IS NULL )





The problem is, somtimes the search doesn't work if there is a space behind or infront of the search string. I wonder if there is away to ignore any spaces and go right into whatever character comes next or after. If so, how do I implement that?

Trailing Spaces - Such A Pain...

Dec 31, 2006

Hi All...  I'm using a SQL Server 2005 database.  I've noticed that columns that are declared as "char" and that have a fixed size tend to put trailing spaces at the end of the data when I pull it out.  I guess I can understand why...  But it's a pain dealing with it.   As I'm bringing my application up, I can see spaces all over the place - I just havent gotten around to doing anything about it yet.  What's the easiest/best way to get rid of those spaces.  Geez, it'd be real cool if I could put something in the SELECT statement.  Any thoughts?  Thanks much!!  -- Curt

Spaces In SQL 7 Database Names

Mar 7, 2000

Hey all,

Hope I can get some help here.

Have a view that has to reference a table in another database on the same server. This isn't the problem. I am just using Databasename..tablename in the from statement. Get the results required in testing.

The problem is that in production the table name has a space character. i.e. 'accounting info' would be the table name. I have not been able to figure out the proper syntax to capture this properly to reference in the from statement.

I have tried enclosing the name in ' ', " ", [], (), {} and just about every combination I can come up with.

Any help in this would be great, and changing the databse name isn't an option at this time.

Thanx,
Chris

I have some fields in my database that are char(50)

This didn't happen with MySQL and PHP, is there any way to disable this?
