URGENT CONVERT FUNCTION
Sep 14, 2007CAN SQL GURUS(PESO,MADHAVAN,VOLTER,KRISTEN) PROVIDE ME EXAMPLE OF CONVERT AND CAST FUNCTION CLEARLY WITH EXAMPLE
View 9 Replies View RelatedQuestion On Convert Function URGENT Please!!
Nov 14, 2001I have the following code in a stored procedure which needs modification as a result of the change in the input format for display_cur_price_tx field(price range).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
old format for display_cur_price_tx is: $69 - $99
Old code for sp:
case charindex ('-', p.display_cur_price_tx)
when 0 then rtrim(convert (char(12), Convert (Numeric(7, 2), rtrim (substring (p.display_cur_price_tx, 2, len(p.display_cur_price_tx))))))
else rtrim (Convert(Char(12), Convert(Numeric(7 ,2), substring (p.display_cur_price_tx, 2, convert (int, charindex ('-', p.display_cur_price_tx) - 2))))) + ' - ' +rtrim(Convert (Char(12), convert(Numeric(7, 2), substring (p.display_cur_price_tx, charindex ('-', p.display_cur_price_tx) + 3, len(p.display_cur_price_tx)))))
endas price
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New format for display_cur_price_tx is: $69-$99 9without the spaces inbetween).
What needs to be new code for sp?
If I still run the old code mentioned above now, I am getting the following error:
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 4
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
Any help on how to modify the above code to suit the new format for price range?? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

URGENT!!! Search Function Database Problem!
Jan 23, 2008Hi all,
I have a search function in my website, which is fully functionable.
But currently, this is the issue that I am having problem with.
For example:
I have only the name 'John' in my database.
When the user search for 'John Tan', no results is shown as there was no such name in the database
But if this happens, I want 'John' to be always returned and shown, no matter what 'John' the user search - E.g "john tan", John Loh", john wee"
So, how do I go about doing this? I have done some research on how to go about doing it, what I found useful was the .Replace() function. However, I can never predict in advance what user is going to key in.
Any help is welcome as this is a rather pressing problem of mine. Thanks for all the help in advance!!!

URGENT!!! Search Tool Function: Splitting A String
Jan 14, 2008Hi All!!!
I was tasked to come up with a search function and the content of the database given to me is in Chinese Characters. This would be my first time dealing with Chinese characters in the database and I need help with the following problem:
The company wants to conduct the search in such a way that, instead of having the system read the entire sentence/phrase which the user keyed in as a SINGLE string, they want the Chinese Characters to be accessed individually, so that as long as any information in the database contains any one of the characters which the user have entered, they will be retrieved and returned.
So how do I go about doing this? Does it have anything to do with Unicode? By the way, everything abt the search tool is working fine, I am just left with this dilemma of having the system recognise the entire sentence as ONE STRING, instead of conducting a search word by word or character by character.
Anyway, the following is the SQL statement of my SQL Data Source which is bound to a Gridview displaying the returned results after a search is done...1 SELECT Name, Trans, Address1, Address1T, Address2, Address2T, City, CityT, CRPLID
2 FROM CRPL
3 WHERE (Trans LIKE '%' + @Trans + '%') OR
4 (Name LIKE '%' + @Name + '%') OR
5 (Address1 LIKE '%' + @Address1 + '%') OR
6 (Address1T LIKE '%' + @Address1T + '%') OR
7 (Address2 LIKE '%' + @Address2 + '%') OR
8 (Address2T LIKE '%' + @Address2T + '%') OR
9 (City LIKE '%' + @City + '%') OR
10 (CityT LIKE '%' + @CityT + '%')
Thanks for all your help in advance!!!

Transact-SQL IsXML Function (wish)

I need to determine that a piece of XML in a character field or variable is well-formed XML. I need to store this validation result (valid or not valid flag) in the table.
Does SQL provide some function for this? Is there any other way?

Transact SQL - Does It Have The Equivalent Of FINDONEOF Function?
Oct 14, 2005Hi All,
Once again I find myself smacking my head into a wall (and it will probably be for naught). I'm trying to find a specific character in a string within a specific record. I've tried substring, but it's not quite getting me where I want to be. I even tried "nesting" the substring and got nowhere (but I could have had the syntax wrong when I nested it).
Here is a sample
Select substring(productimagefile, 20, 5)
from my table
What I need is something like this:
Select substring(findoneof(productimagefile, _r, 1), 1, 5)
from my table
Actually, on the start of the substring, I need it to be where it finds the _r, just not sure how to tell it that.
The replace function is the closest I've seen to what I need, but I don't want to replace it with anything, I just need to find it in the string.
So, if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful (and my head would stop hurting....)

Transact SQL :: Passing Parameters Through SP To A Function
Sep 23, 2015I have an SP that is working, it creates a Union between 3 tables then creates a single table - I am using Visual studio Grid Control to view this by a browser, its working. at the bottom of the SP is a line of code that calls a function, the function queries a View. When I run the SP, SQL returns the data from the Union plus the data from the select statement on the Function. This all works but I can't get the data returned by the function query onto a browser.
I am doing it this was as the parameters in my SP are also used when calling the function, works really well. Is GTotal a return value?
Here is my function:
USE [LOGONs]
GO
/****** Object: UserDefinedFunction [dbo].[FX_AnnaulBudget1] Script Date: 23/09/2015 12:27:50 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON

Jul 1, 2015I have a query that uses the PIVOT function and works fine in SQL 2012. I've been asked to move the query to a database that has the compatibility level set to 80(SQL 2000). I receive an "Incorrect syntax near" error when I try to excute the query on the SQL 2000 database. I would like to duplicate the exiting PIVOT functionality in SQL 2000.The existing query retrieves employee names and the order that the employee should be displayed from a table. The names will appear on the report according to the order that is retrieved from the database. Also, the users have requested that only 5 names appear on each row of the report. This is why the PIVOT function was needed. Below is an example of how the existing query works.

[Guest_Name] [varchar](80) NULL,

Transact SQL :: Advanced Query With Windows Function?
Jun 16, 2015SQL Sever 2012, I have a table where I store data related with a Log, the columns of the table are three, IDTable, DateLog and CountLog, the column CountLog is a cumulative value, each new rows can increment this value, my query will receive two parameters related with the Date, @dateFrom and @dateTo, with this information is necesary to get the diff between two months, for example:
CREATE TABLE MyTable
(
IDTable INT IDENTITY NOT NULL,
DateLog DATE NOT NULL,
CountLog INT NOT NULL
)
[code]....
In this case I need to apply a filter with the Dates:
@dateFrom ='2014-01-01',
@dateTo ='2014-04-28'
But according with this filter I need to limit the results only for this period between the date, but I need that the first month (January 2014) take the information of the max value from previous month even not included in the filter, in this case the results will be the next:
Id MonthYear Diff
1 Jan2014 5
2 Feb2014 3
3 March2014 0
4 April2014 5
With the results, for the first mont (January) is, according to the range of times, January is the lower limit,the last cumulative value of CountLog before the first month of the range was 2 (December 2013), the max value of the CountLog for this first month was 7, the diff is 7-2 equal to 5 , in the case of the next month (February) the max value of the CountLog was 10, the diff is 10 - 7 equal to 3 and this way.

Transact SQL :: Divide By Zero Error In Empty Function
Oct 9, 2015I have a work database where I implemented a table-valued function. One colleague of mine reported to me that this function gave a Divide by Zero error when executed with some specific values given to its arguments (there are a 15 arguments). Then I started debugging, and I introduced some exit points to the function before its end in order to detect the point where the error appeared, since I don't have access to the database server and I cannot use the debugging tools from remote, due to the network configuration of my office. I can only do attempts on the code to try to find a solution.
Since I didn't manage to get rid of this error, I decided to make a silly and desperate attempt: I put a RETURN statement immediately after the BEGIN of the function body, with the idea that the function should not raie any error if it exit immediately after its beginning, despite the fact that this results in an empty table in return.
The result of my attempt is that the Divide by Zero error is still THERE (!), even if my function looks like
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo][<myFuncName>](...parameters...) RETURNS TABLE (...table definition...) AS BEGIN
RETURN
END
GO
