Upper(left(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY,1))+lower(substring(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY, 2, LEN(CR_MEMBER_ALLMEMBERDETAILS.ADDRESSCITY)))As ADDRESSCITY
This returns back: ‘Rancho santa margarita’; I need it to return ‘Rancho Santa Margarita’. Is this possible to do at the query level?
Hi
I can't create unique index like that:
1 - create table abc ( colZ varchar(10) )
2 - insert into abc values ( "test")
3 - insert into abc values ("Test")
4 - create unique index idx_abc on abc ( colZ ) -- This doesnt work
.... duplicate key was found for object name abc......
Is not there difference between "Test" and "test"?
Can I work around this?
cheers,
I'm still haven't resolved the issue with displaying information from a SQL database. The text I'm displaying is in ALL CAPS in the SQL database, and I'm trying to convert it so that when I display it in gridview, The First Letter Of Each Word Is Capitalized, as apposed to ALL CAPS. I've tried the text-transform feature of CSS, but I noticed in a SQL book there are LOWER() & UPPER() string functions. The ideal thing to do then, would be to do some select statement that converts all the incoming text to lowercase, then use the CSS text-transform: capitalize , to convert the first letter of each word to caps. Basically, I need a select statement or something that converts my sql material to lowercase. Thanks.

I want to search for alphanumeric values between an upper and lower bound in a sql database.For example: search for a serial number like pvf-456-3b. Upper bound is q, lower bound is g.I should then get every serial number starting with g - q.If possible the bounds should be more specific like "search for serial number between gt2 and qy"Can anybody help me out?
I have column with value of all upper case, for example, FIELD SERVICE, is there anyway, I can convert into Field Service?

i would like to create an SQL query, part of which involves comparing dates.
i have something like
Select ID, CONVERT(varchar(10), StartDate, 101), Name from Table WHERE StartDate .....
how can i compare the StartDate to something i have in the form of a string? for example, i have
Date = 12/12/1998. and i would like to select where the StartDate in the DB = '12/12/1998'.
i'd appreciate all the help i can get.
thanks,

Hi,
I have a table that temporarily stores information. Before I insert new data in the table, I want to delete the previous day's data.
This is the query I'm using
Code:
q="DELETE FROM SearchTemp WHERE theDate < "&Date()
set RS2 = DB.Execute(q, ra, adCmdText)
I should say I'm using ASP & VBScript.
Problem is, this isn't deleting the previous day's dates.
The dates are stored in this format: m/d/yyyy.
I've searched through old posts but none of the solutions offered have worked for me so far. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi Guys, I am experiencing weird results
SELECT DSNew, DTTM, RQDT
FROM dbo.Feb
INNER JOIN DMSEFL
ON ACTR = DSNew
where cast(DSNew as varchar(20)) = cast(ACTR As varchar(20))
If I run the above query I get zero recs back.
If I substitute a Value then I get the desired results (ie. where DSNew = '93235500') or if I enter (ACTR = '93235500') or if I put (where DSNew = '93235500' AND ACTR = '93235500')
Can anyone suggest a reason why this is happening. I know the records exist on both tables I ran the query in Acess and got the desired resutls.
Thank you,

I have a column in my database i would like to convert to lowercase

Got a query taking too much time because of lack of cross columns MAX/MIN functions. Consider a similar example where a View is required to reflect distribution of Water among different towns each having four different levels of distribution reservoir tanks of different sizes:In this case the basic table has columns like:
PurchaseDate
TownName
QuantityPurchased
Tank1_Size
Tank2_Size
Tank3_Size
Tank4_Size
Now suppose I need a query to distribute QuantityPurchased in the Four additional Columns computed on the basis depending on the sizes declared in the last four fields,in the same order of preference.For example: I have to use IIFs to check: whether the quantity purchased is less than Tank_A if yes then Qty Purchased otherwise Tank_A_Size itself for Tank_A_Filled
then again IIF but this time to check:
Whether the quantity purchased less Tank_A_Filled (Which again needs to be calculated as above) is less than Tank_B if yes then Tank_A_Filled (Which again needs to be calculated as above) otherwise Tank_B_Size itself for Tank_B_Filled
Hello,
I have been having a hard time with this issue. I am attempting to join a table onto itself to get the closest date onto a single row.
What i mean is:
I have the following data
id date
1 10/07/08
2 10/06/07
3 10/06/03
4 10/06/03
the new table should have the current id and the one closes to it as so.
1 10/07/08 2 10/06/07
2 10/06/07 3 10/06/03
3 10/06/03 null null
4 10/06/03 null null
but i am getting duplicates do to the 10/06/03.
1 10/07/08 2 10/06/07
2 10/06/07 3 10/06/03
2 10/06/07 4 10/06/03
3 10/06/03 null null
4 10/06/03 null null
i want so that if there is a duplicate i can take the id thats higher. I cant figure it out.
This is my current sql:
SELECT PB.ID,PB.StartDate, PB2.ID, PB2.Startdate
from table PB
left outer join table PB2 on PB.keyID = PB2.keyID
and PB2.StartDate < PB.StartDate
and PB.StartDate = (select top(1) StartDate from table PB3 where PB.keyID = PB3.keyID
and PB2.StartDate < PB3.StartDate order by PB3.StartDate asc)
Thanks for the help.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a big problem with the design and the queries of a couple of tables. I have to calculate the weighted average of the number of days between an invoice and the sum of its payments (rateal payments), weighting this number with the invoice's amount, and only when the sum of the invoice's payments equal invoice amount.
I have designed two FactTables to accomplish this:
Example:
data in the fist table (FactInvoice) looks like this:
CustomerId, InvoiceDate, InvoiceNumber, InvoiceAmount
1234567 2008-03-10 123 1000.00
1234567 2008-04-10 150 2000.00
and data in the second one (FactPayments) looks as below:
CustomerId, PaymentDate, InvoiceNumber, PaymentsAmount
1234567 2008-03-10 123 500
1234567 2008-03-15 123 500
1234567 2008-04-20 150 800
1234567 2008-04-23 150 1200
Let's suppose that I'm querying the cube for the customer 1234567, at the date 2008-05-01. I need to sum the payments for the first invoice multiplicating it for the count of days elapsed, then divide the number by the InvoiceAmount (or PaymentsAmount, is the same) : (0 days * 500‚¬ + 5 days * 500‚¬ + 10 days * 800‚¬ + 13 days * 1200)/3000‚¬ = 8,7 days of weighted average to cash an invoice.
How can I do this with Analisys Services ? Is it too complicated ? Here, in the southern Italy, the problem of customer's debit is heavily felt, and total like this are really important!
Any help or suggestion will be really appreciated.

Hi there ;
I've a photo viewer which shows the image based on a datetime QueryString. I've a couple of buttons like next, prev, last, .... .

For example,
select fieldA form tableA where fieldA = 'aaa'
I got following output
fieldA

aAa
AAA
AAa
...
if I want select only the lower case 'aaa', how can I do that?
I need to split a string in two if there are lowercase characters atthe end of it.For example:'AAPLpr' becomes 'AAPL' and 'pr''Ta' becomes 'T' and 'a''MSFT' becomes 'MSFT' and '''TAPA' becomes 'TAPA' and ''I am using SQL 2000. I read about "collate Latin1_General_CS_AS" butnot sure if I can use that outside of a select statement.Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,
My database is case insensitive. However, the application is case sensitive for the data in the table.
I need to find out the data from the table where the data is stored in lower case.
Here is the sample data:
Table: inv_manager
column: sku varchar(5)
Data: 1134X
1135x
1123a
b145Y
I just need query to return row 2, 3, 4.
Here is my query:
select sku from inv_manager where sku like lower('%[a-z]%')
The problem is it returns all the rows from the table including first one.
How can I return just the data with lower case ?
Thanks

If the parameter value match one of the values from the table list, select that matched one.If the value does not exist in the table list, select the closest lower value from the table list, in this case, it would be value 5.

Is there a method for converting the first character of a account name to uppercase and the the remaining characters to lower case? I've used the substring procedure but for a name like 'MY NEW COMPANY', how could I convert it to 'My New Company' ?
Thanks,

Folks,
what script must I use, as a part of CREATE TABLE, to automatically convert characters to UPPER case on insert?
I wrote <CHECK (country = UPPER (country)> in the CREATE TABLE, which was wrong,
because the values were still in the lower case.
The sample script is:
CREATE TABLE address
(street varchar(40),
city varchar(20),
state char (2),
zip varchar (10),
country varchar (20))
When a user types "Canada", I want the inserted value be "CANADA"
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I was wondering what more experienced DBAs have observed with regard to the capacity of a MSSQL DB. Is there an upper threshold of rows where performance becomes unacceptable? I have a fairly slow, but constant input rate of approximately 2,000 rows every 60 seconds or so (that is a little high, but I'm interested in worse case scenario here). That is up 172,800 rows a day. (I'm being overly pessimistic here.) We'd like to be able to keep all of this around as long as possible.
Or would a more heavy duty DB be in order for these sorts of data rates?
Hi expert, I would like to ask regarding the UPPER function in SQL Query. I was tryin' to create a scipt that will give me a result of all the names that are in UPPER case format, but when I tried to execute the script the result is not right, it also retrieves all the records that are in PROPER case.
SQL Script:
SELECT id, name FROM table_1 WHERE UPPER(name) LIKE 'DAR%'
Result:
ID NAME
-- -------
