Case Conversion
Aug 24, 1999
background: The application is case sensitive and so SQL server has been set up with case-sensitive sort order.
Initially, users were using mixed case in several fields but now they are asking to have everything lower-cased. We can change the application to only allow lower-case entry for these fields from this point forward.
My question is what to do with the previously created records. Would anybody know of a way to run a case conversion routine on all the existing records in the DB?
Thanks in advance

Hi experts,
I m new in SQL stuff. I have to work out a fucntion with ASP.net for CSV import to the DB in MSSQL.
I would like to know for Stored Proc, is there any way that I can do the case conversion?
e.g
the Full_Name read from CSV file: Lennon, John
Then for the family name I need to convert into uppercase so the converted one: LENNON, John
Is there any way I can check those words before the comma? The CSV file is delimited with | instead of , ?
Can I use substring for that? And also do you have any online tutorial for Stored Procedure recommended? Thanks a lot!!!
Cheers,
KNVB

I've used this udf for a while with great success, but only on fields with more than one word....
http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/jeffs/archive/2007/03/09/60131.aspx
I'd like to know how I can adapt this function so it will convert a scottish/irish surname (McDonald or O'Shea) when there is only the surname in the column
This is what I'd been using for multiple words (Ronald McDonald). But it won't work on just Mcdonald. I'm sure it's just a simple tweak, but it all looks Punjabi to me?
Thanks in advance!!
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[f_ProperCase](@Text as varchar(512)) RETURNS varchar(512) as
BEGIN
DECLARE @Reset bit
DECLARE @Ret varchar(512)
DECLARE @i int
DECLARE @c char(1)
SELECT @Reset = 1, @i=1, @Ret = ''
WHILE @i <= LEN(@Text)
SELECT @c= SUBSTRING(@Text,@i,1),
@Ret = @Ret + CASE WHEN @Reset=1 THEN UPPER(@c) ELSE LOWER(@c) END,
@Reset= CASE WHEN
CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(@Text,@i-4,5) like '_[a-z] [DOL]''' THEN 1
WHEN SUBSTRING(@Text,@i-4,5) like '_[a-z] [D][I]' THEN 1
WHEN SUBSTRING(@Text,@i-4,5) like '_[a-z] [M][C]' THEN 1

END = 1

Hi All,
I have SQL query as:
SELECT CASE @sortcolumn
WHEN 'TYPE' THEN TYPE_TXT
WHEN 'DATE' THEN CHECKOUT_TS
WHEN 'ACCT' THEN ACCT_NBR
WHEN 'FIRST' THEN FIRST_NM
WHEN 'LAST' THEN LAST_NM
WHEN 'DAYS' THEN DATEDIFF(dd, CHECKOUT_TS, GETDATE())
ELSE DELIVER_ID END
FROM REQUEST
If @sortcolumn has 'DATE' or 'DAYS' it runs fine....any other value, I get an exception "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string". All columns except CHECKOUT_TS are of type varchar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shashi

Hello:
I have created an SQL server table in the past on a server that was all case sensative. Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
Any suggestions?

We need to install CI database on CS server, and there are some issueswith stored procedures.Database works and have CI collation (Polish_CI_AS). Server hascoresponding CS collation (Polish_CS_AS). Most queries and proceduresworks but some does not :-(We have table Customer which contains field CustomerID.Query "SELECT CUSTOMERID FROM CUSTOMER" works OK regardless ofcharacter case (we have table Customer not CUSTOMER)Following TSQL generate error message that must declare variable @id(in lowercase)DECLARE @ID INT (here @ID in uppercase)SELECT @id=CustomerID FROM Customer WHERE .... (here @id in lowercase)I know @ID is not equal to @id in CS, but database is CI and tablenames Customer and CUSTOMER both works. This does not work forvariables.I suppose it is tempdb collation problem (CS like a server collationis). I tried a property "Identifier Case Sensitivity" for myconnection, but it is read only and have value 8 (Mixed) by default -this is OK I think.DO I MISS SOMETHING ????

I have a view where I'm using a series of conditions within a CASE statement to determine a numeric shipment status for a given row. In addition, I need to bring back the corresponding status text for that shipment status code.
Previously, I had been duplicating the CASE logic for both columns, like so:
Code Block...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 1
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 3
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 4
ELSE 0
END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END,
...remainder of SQL view...
This works, but the logic for each of the case conditions is rather long. I'd like to move away from this for easier code management, plus I imagine that this isn't the best performance-wise.
This is what I'd like to do:
Code Block
...beginning of SQL view...
shipment_status =
CASE
[logic for condition 1]
THEN 1
WHEN [logic for condition 2]
THEN 2
WHEN [logic for condition 3]
THEN 3
WHEN [logic for condition 4]
THEN 4
ELSE 0
END,
shipment_status_text =
CASE shipment_status
WHEN 1 THEN 'Condition 1 text'
WHEN 2 THEN 'Condition 2 text'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Condition 3 text'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Condition 4 text'
ELSE 'Error'
END,
...remainder of SQL view...
This runs as a query, however all of the rows now should "Error" as the value for shipment_status_text.
Is what I'm trying to do even currently possible in T-SQL? If not, do you have any other suggestions for how I can accomplish the same result?
Thanks,
Jason

I am working on a C#/asp.net web application. The application has a text box that allows a user to enter a name. The name is then saved to the database.
Before the name is saved to the database, I need to be able to check if the name already exists in the database. The problem here is that what if the name is in the database as "JoE ScMedLap" and somoene enters the name as "Joe Schmedlap" which already exists in the database,but just differs in case.
In other words how do deal with case sensitiviy issues.

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

just wondering if anyone out there has any advice or feedback regarding an upgrade conversion from 6.5 to 7.0 via the wizard? is this as straightforward as it sounds?
the only bad thing i have heard is when an upgrade is done from 6.5 to 7.0 and the 6.5 database utilized system tables . . . any feedback would be sincerely appreciated.
thank you in advance!

Hello, I would like to convert some of the rows in a column that has a data type of int to a decimal. Should I change the data type of the whole field to decimal or numeric, it seems like no matter what I do I cannot get certain rows to come up with a decimal number even though when I run a cast or convert it gives me the correct number of rows affected when I look at the data it is still in int format. Although this seems simple I am not having any luck getting this to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Techies,
We had a database MS-Access with DAO statements and we are upgrading our Database to MS-SqlServer which in need to convert the DAO statements to ADO statements.
What i want to know is there any free tool which converts automatically to convert DAO statements to ADO statements. If so what is it?
If not what is the easiest procedure to convert or otherwise should I have to do it manually convert all those DAO statements(so many). If I have to do it manually can u explain where i need to take care mainly while converting the statements.
Thank U

Hi!
I have a Fact_ETL process with several Lookups.
I need to compare a ID-string datatype DT_14 from OLE DB Source to string DT_18 from Dim_salesperson. Then I would collect the ID's from Dim_salesperson into OLE DB Destination. Tried to convert DT_14 to DT_18 before Lookup. No, not working. Decimal[DT_Decimal] not working either...
I would be so grateful if someone could give an idea...

When I initiate the insert and update.I tried adding a: Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text), but it didn't work..

Dear All:
I am in the process of developing a code generation tool to generate automatically:
1- Business Layer objects
2- Object Layer objects
3- Data Layer objects
The code follows the same technique used in IssueTracker Starter Kit.
I faced somehting wierd today while trying to convert between SQL Data types to C# data types:
Check the image please, the problem is that, different value number is being given to each column type, by using both:
syscolumsn.type and syscolumns.xtype,
which one to use ? which is the best used to convert to C# ?
Are there any place where data types of SQL Server are being converted to C# data types ?
check the pic here please SQL DB
Thanks a lot
