I am having an issue when trying to do something that looks simple on the face of it.. I want to replace the value during update in the same table.
Here's my situation
tst_update
ID int
Col1 varchar(10
I want to ensure that everytime Col1 is updated to "A" I want to set it to "X". Otherwise leave it as is.
Can someone help.
Thanks,
Ashish
how we can replace the multiple values in a single select statement? I have to build the output based on values stored in a table. Please see below the sample input and expected output.
DECLARE @V1 NVARCHAR(100)
SELECT @V1 = 'FirstName: @FN, LastName: @LN, Add1: @A1, Add2: @A2 '
DECLARE @T1 TABLE
(FN VARCHAR(100), LN VARCHAR(100), A1 VARCHAR(100), A2 VARCHAR(100))
[code]....
I have a table that lists math Calculations with "User Friendly Names" that look like the following:
([Sales Units]*[AUR])
([Comp Sales Units]*[Comp AUR])
I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR". (It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)
The new formulas need to look like the following:
([cSalesUnits]*[cAUR])
([cCompSalesUnits]*[cCompAUR])
I have created a CTE of all the "Look-up" values, and have tried all kinds of joins, and other functions to achieve this, but so far nothing has quite worked.
How can I accomplish this?
Here is some SQL for set up. There are over 500 formulas that need updating with over 400 different "look up" possibilities, so hard coding something isn't really an option.
DECLARE @Synonyms TABLE
(
UserFriendlyName VARCHAR(128)
, SystemNames VARCHAR(128)
)
INSERT INTO @Synonyms
( UserFriendlyName, SystemNames )
[Code] .....
Basically I want to do a find and replace.
All the rows where column1 starts with F: I want to replace with M:
I tried this without luck

I want to be able to create a trigger that updates table 2 when a row is inserted into table 1. However I€™m not sure how to increment the ID in table 2 or to update only the row that has been inserted.

I want to be able to create a trigger so that when a row is inserted into table A by a specific user then the ID will appear in table B. Is it possible to find out the login id of the user inserting a row?
I believe the trigger should look something like this:
create trigger test_trigger
on a
for insert
as
insert into b(ID)
select i.id
from inserted i
where
--specific USER
I have an update where I need to replace the first two numbers of a string with SF and remove the last number - e.g.:

I have an update statement which works in Oracle, but I cannot get it to work in SQL Server. The statement is below:
UPDATE oraowner.ems_sam
SET sam_id = replace(sam_id,sam_id,'SF'||substr(sam_id, 3, length(sam_id) - 3));
Can a Trigger be created to automatically replace NULL values with "-"? Suppose I have an Entry Form with 20 Text Boxes. I don't want to code in my application. I want that when an Insert Query is executed, a BEFORE/AFTER TRIGGER should be executed to replace the NULL values coming from Insert QUery to "-".
I also want to know whether to use a Trigger or a Function/Stored Procedure.
'000000' is a string with 6 charaters
Requirement:
I want to Replace 0 with 1.
Replace 0 to 1 at position 3 output= '001000'
Replace 0 to 1 at position 5 output= '000010'
hi,
In the result of a function in my query, there are negative numbers.
How do I replace them with a 0 or is there a function like ISNULL that replaces the values that are negative?
thanks,

I need to separate the data from one column in to two columns based on the transaction type TRAN_TYPE (C is credit, D is Debit)
TRAN-TYPE| AMOUNT
C 20.00
D 30.00
C 50.00
To do that I have this code:
select
CASE WHEN TRAN_TYPE = 'D'THEN CAST (ISNULL(amount, 0) as varchar (30)) end as DEBIT,
CASE WHEN TRAN_TYPE = 'c'THEN CAST (ISNULL(amount, 0) as varchar (30)) end as CREDIT
FROM HISTORY
And my output is:
DEBIT | CREDIT
----------------
NULL | 20.00
------|-------
30.00 | NULL
------|-------
NULL | 50.00
------|-------
how to replace the null values with 0
I was wondering how to do a find and replace with SQL? Would I use a SET statement?
I need to find a specific value and replace all of the results with a different value.
Thanks for all responses.
Thank u Chirag....

HI,
I AM HAVING A TABLE WHICH HAS INCREMENTAL COLUMNS,WHERE COLUMNS GETS ADDED EVERY MONTH TO THE TABLE AND THE TABLE THEN CONTAINS PREVIOUS MONTH AND PRESENT MONTH DATA ABOUT CUSTOMERS ,DETAILS AND TRANSACTIONS.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS DATA IS ,IF THE CUSTOMER IS NEW ,THEN IN PREVIOUS MONTHS HIS INFORMATION IS NULL,WHICH HAVE TO BE CODED HAS "NOT PRESENT".
NOW,
HOW DO WE CONVERT ALL THE PREVIOUS COLUMNS FOR A PARTICULAR CUSTOMER HAS NULL AT THE SAME TIME ?.
HERE IS HOW THE PROC WRITTENED FOR IT GOES :-
DROP PROCEDURE DE_NAT
CREATE PROCEDURE DE_NAT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @MONMIN1 NVARCHAR(100),MON NVARCHAR(100),@YEAR NVARCHAR(100) , @MONYEAR NVARCHAR(100)
SET @MONMIN1 = DATENAME((MONTH),DATEADD(MONTH,-1,GETDATE()))
SET @MON = MONTH(GETDATE())
SET @YEAR = YEAR(GETDATE())
SET @MONYEAR = @MON + @YEAR
EXEC('select A.CUSTOMERS,B.*,CAST(A.RFM_40D AS FLOAT) AS R40
INTO TSD_' + @MONYEAR
+ ' from TSD_20 A
LEFT OUTER JOIN SD20 ' + @MONMIN1 + ' B
ON A.CUSTOMERS = B.CUSTOMER')
END
THIS PROC JUST ADDS THE PRESENT MONTHS DATA TILL LAST MONTHS DATA.
BUT IF A CUSTOMER IS NEW, THEN HOW DO I REPLACE THE NULL VALUES FOR THE PREVIOUS DATA TO 'NOT PRESENT'
FOR EG :- IF THERE IS A NEW CUSTOMER ,HOW DO WE CHANGE :-
CUSTOMERS ERTYYTRE RTYUUYTR TYUIIUYT QWERREWQ DFGHHGFD
----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------- ----------
101023 <NULL> <NULL> <NULL> <NULL> 1.0
102022 1.0 1.62.3 3.4 4.5
NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT FOR CUSTOMERS = '101023'.
THE COLUMN DFGHHGFD IS, THIS MONTHS DATA , I WANT TO CHANGE ALL NULL VALUES PRESIDING IT AS "INACTIVE"
CAN I CHANGE , ALL COLUMNS FROM NULL TO "INACTIVE" , AT THE SAME TIME. ?
AS NEXT MONTH, AGAIN THE COLUMNS IS GONNA INCREASE WHICH WILL
AGAIN CAUSE A PROBLEM .
PLS TELL ME A METHOD , SO THAT I CAN DO THE NEEDFUL.

I need one query:
create table #task(TaskId bigint unique, Name varchar(2000))
insert into #task values(1, 'Text Text Text Text Text Text Text <<Name>> Â Text Text Text <<Salary>>')
insert into #task values(2, 'Text Text Text <<Name>> Text Text Text Text <<Company>> Â Text Text Text <<Salary>> Â Text Text Text')
[Code] ....
Now I need to create an inline function who resolve the task name with appropriate values and return me the resolved task name
select * from fn_TaskResolver(1, 'Text Text Text Text Text Text Text <<Name>> Â Text Text Text <<Salary>>')
I try this function but its return multiple rows as i just want to return one row. as I have big data set so i don't want to use scaler or Multi Line function.
create function fn_TaskResolver(@TaskId bigint, @name varchar(2000)
Return table

I am having trouble using the replace statement on IP Addresses. I want to replace the ending with ".0" - not matter what the IP Address starts with.

The string column value looks like as below. Each value has a size of 15 withing a string
'2.2020 30 4.0000'
The column value should match with user input as below. The result should show equal when it is compared. Currently, it results not equal since it is a string comparision. The last digit '0' needs to be ignored for decimal values.
'2.202 30 4.0'
I need to handle the decimal values in such a way, if staring value with '.' and last digit is 0 then replace with space ''. So, it should look like
'2 2 2 30 4 ' = '2 2 2 30 4 '
When this string is compared, it results in EQUAL.
I tried the below logic, which even replaces the integer value like 30 to 3 and 3000 to 3 and results in equal which is incorrect.
RTRIM(REPLACE(REPLACE(RT1.rate,'''+@DOT+''','''+@S PACE+'''), '''+@ZERO+''', '''+@SPACE+''')) = '''+REPLACE(REPLACE(@Rate,'.',' '), '0', ' ')+''' '
Ex:'2.2020 300 4.00' = '2.20200 30 4.0'
After replace, string looks like
Ex:'2 2 2 3 4 ' = '2 2 2 3 4 '
It results as EQUAL which is incorrect. I need only decimal value to be replaced not integer.
I am looking for a single string replace logic.

Running into a problem with trying to pull multiple values in a stored procedure.
Ran Profiler for trace on what variable is coming back as when running in Reporting Services.
Profiler shows this:
exec apGetCompanysByRep @Product = N'Absorbent Pads,Airedale Terrier'
Trying to run Replace function but not quite getting the syntaxt correct. The stored procedure will work but when running report will often get unclosed quotation marks.
What I have:
Set @Product=
Replace(@Product, '''' + ',' + @product + '''', (@Product + '''' + ',' + ' ' + '''' + @product + ''''))
This is probably a little too much coding but I've tried several ways.
In the SP the code is as follows:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[apGetCompanysByRep]
@Magazine varchar(6) = null
, @DirectsMagazine varchar(6) = null
, @Category varchar(50) = null
, @SubCategory varchar(50) = null
--, @FirstName varchar(30)
, @LastName varchar(30)= null
, @Product varchar(1100)
AS
declare @SQL varchar(2000)
Set @Product=Replace(@Product, '''' + ',' + @product + '''', (@Product + '''' + ',' + ' ' + '''' + @product + ''''))
set @SQL = '
Thanks for any assistance anyone can give.
Hi,
I have a Insert / Update Trigger on Table called TBL_A. Inside the trigger I am updating the same table TBL_A.
Will this cause recursion of the trigger? And will it keep on firing again and again?
Thanks in advance ...jfk
There is a table [Formula_Calc] with formula calculations that need to be replaced with relevant values based on another table [Totals]
[Totals]
RowNo|Total
F1|240
F2|160
F3|180
F11|1000
F12|1500
F13|2000
For example we've got a row from [Formula_Calc] table 'F1+F3' as a string that needs to be transformed as 240+160=400
The below code works for the above example but if I pick 'F11+F3' instead , returns 2561 which comes from 2401+16.
Probably replaces F1 value instead of F11 and adds 1st digit (1) if I got it right ...
DECLARE @formula NVARCHAR(100);
DECLARE @Total NVARCHAR(100);
SET @formula = 'F11+F3';
SELECT @formula = REPLACE(@formula,RowNo,Total)
FROM [Totals]
SET @Total='select '+@formula
EXECUTE sp_executesql @Total;
PRINT @Total;

I got error while updating a table ,duplicate entries and trigger got fired ..so how to debug the trigger to know duplicate record.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,I'm a relatively newbie to SQL Server 2000, having come from a MySQLbackground.I'm creating my first Trigger statement on a table, and I'd like toknow how I go about performing an update on the row that was changedwhen the trigger was fired.To explain, I have 2 columns, one which contains a member number, theother which contains a flag that is supposed to indicate whether ornot the member number in the row has changed since the last time thetable was processed for updates.So, whenever the value in the member number field [memnum] is updated,I want to set the flag [igproc] to true.The best I've been able to do is:CREATE TRIGGER [updateignoreprocflag] ON [dbo].[dd_testtable]FOR UPDATEASdeclare @key as intIF UPDATE (memnum)select @key = recid from insertedUPDATE dd_testtable set igproc=1 where recid=@keyThis seems to work, but I'd like to know if there's a better way ofretrieving the recid value of the changed row to pass to the UPDATEstatement? Also, I read somewhere in passing that using SELECTstatements and variable assignments within triggers can cause problemswhen called from other applications; in this case it will either be aweb site using ASP.or an application developed in FOXPRO. I can't findwhere I read this originally, so it's entirely possible I imagined itor misunderstood it, but I'd very much appreciate it if someone couldconfirm whether or not this is the case?Many, many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murray

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
