Concatenation Two Numeric Type Using Conversion
Jun 3, 1999Hi,
Does anybody know how to get the next row using two numeic keys like this:
select * from cfg_trkgrp_t where (convert(varchar,column1 )+(convert(varchar,column2)) > (convert(varchar,0) + convert(varchar,1000 )))
note: colum1 and column2 are both numeric type, column 1 has value 0, column2
has value 1000
Seems like it does not work for me for different digits of values.
Thanks.

Concatenation Of Text
Feb 24, 2005I have an instance where I need to concatenate some data that is stored in a text datatype. I can't cast it to a varchar/char because that may well truncate the data. I just read about UPDATETEXT, which I think I can use, but I need to use it for a bunch or rows and it looks like this works on one row at a time. Anyone have experience with this?

Apr 4, 2004i want to concatenate 2 columns of type text
what am trying to do is adding an instead of trigger on update which concatenates the old value in the text column with the new value
so the problem is how i can concatenate both values since i cant declare a variable of type text.
A solution may be dividing the text column into many varchar(8000) variables and then add them but i dont know how it can be implemented or if there's an easier solution
the code am trying:
CREATE TRIGGER InsteadTrigger on tbl
INSTEAD OF Update
AS
BEGIN
if exists(select null from deleted)
begin
--am considering updating only 1 row
update tbl set theValue=((select theValue from deleted)+(select theValue from inserted))
end
i tried the writetext and updatetext functions and the problem is always related to both columns concatenation
Any solution?
thx

Concatenation Of Integer Data Into Text
Jun 9, 2006I am a TSQL Newbie trying to concatenate two columns (DocumentNo & SequenceNo) that were created with a €œsmallint€? data type constraint in a full-text search database. I want to end up with a column containing varchar data such as €œ5-2€? where this row of data contains information about the 2nd document in a series for a person or group designated as 5.
If I could change the data type for the columns to varchar I think I could query them like this:
SELECT ("DocumentNo" + '-' + "SequenceNo") AS DocumentNoFull
FROM Full_Documents
ORDER BY DocumentNo, SequenceNo
When I try to concatenate with this query the result is a mathematical addition of the numbers, not what I am trying to achieve (which is to combine the two numbers to produce a text string).
Due to the full-text search parameters for the database I have not been able to modify the data type constraints on the two relevant columns. Is there a way to concatenate the two €œsmallint€? columns and create a new column with text data (e.g., 5-2) for each row in the table?
My research suggests that €œcasting€? could be used to convert between data types, but I have not been able to figure out how to apply it to my situation. Any help would be appreciated.
Converting Text To Numeric
Jul 23, 2004I have a database table with 2 numeric fields. The values to be inserted into these fields come from text boxes in an ASP.NET page. So in the parameters to add into these fields I simply use 'textbox1.text' & textbox2.text'.
One of the fields accepts the data within the text box and adds it into the appropriate numeric data field in the table. However on the other text box I get an error message 'Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric.'
Does anyone know why this occurs just on the one entry and not the other?, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get around this please let me know.
Many Thanks

Power Pivot :: Converting Text String To Numeric Value
Jun 11, 2015I have a column that I'm trying to call into a calculated measure to determine an expected contract amount (Terms in Month). The problem is that some of the terms are defined as text strings (MTM, Coterminous, One-time) while others are numbers (12, 36, etc). The entire column is recognized as text. I have a numeric value that management has agreed would be an acceptable substitution (MTM=1, Coterminous=6) and so on. I can't however, figure out how to convert those texts to a number since they are different data types. I've tried a nested IF statement, as well as a LOOKUPVALUE..I'm doing this in Power Pivot, so am limited to DAX formulas
View 4 Replies View RelatedUploading Text And Numeric Data From An Excel File
Nov 3, 2006Hi,
I have found a problem with my SSIS package. The package takes a Excel File using the Excel Source/Excel connection manager objects. There's a Data Conversion Object which sets all the fields to be DT_STR and then I import the data into a Holding table using a OLEDB Destination Object.
My Excel file contains a list of Code/Description pairs. The problem I have is that I can have data such as the following
CODE
A101
A102
A103
12
1.2i
What seems to be happening is that when the data is imported into the holding table and the first rows are Alphanumeric then the fields where there's a code such as 12 get converted to NULL for some reason. If all the codes are the same type (either Alphanumeric or numericit doesn't matter, as long as they are all the same) the import works perfectly well.
I need to be able to import all of these codes without SSIS converting some to NULL. Has anyone come across this problem before? If so, is there something I am doing wrong or a workaround?
Many thanks in advance

Pattern Matching - Searching For Numeric Or Alpha Or Alpha-Numeric Characters In A String
Aug 18, 2006Hi,
I was trying to find numeric characters in a field of nvarchar. I looked this up in HELP.
Wildcard
Meaning
%
Any string of zero or more characters.
_
Any single character.
[ ]
Any single character within the specified range (for example, [a-f]) or set (for example, [abcdef]).
Any single character not within the specified range (for example, [^a - f]) or set (for example, [^abcdef]).
Nowhere in the examples below it in Help was it explicitly detailed that a user could do this.
In MS Access the # can be substituted for any numeric character such that I could do a WHERE clause:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE "####*"
After looking at the above for the [ ] wildcard, it became clear that I could subsitute [0-9] for #:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
using single quotes and the % wildcard instead of Access' double quotes and * wildcard.
Just putting this out there for anybody else that is new to SQL, like me.

Oct 3, 2007I am completely new to SQL and I have some syntax questions. I am trying to concatenate 4 fields and some padded constants to form a new key field to perform joins. The result should be a twelve character field without spaces. My problem is that the current fields use spaces as place holders and I need to replace the spaces with ‘0’.
[RD_ID] nvarchar length 5
[RDWY_ID] nvarchar length 1
[MLGE_TYPE] nvarchar length 1
[OVLAP_MLGE_CD] nvarchar length 1
Concatenate 12 characters
1st ‘0’ (constant)
2nd, 3rd, and 4th, from [RD_ID] (without the suffix)
5th and 6th from [RD_ID] suffix or replace spaces with ‘00’
7th 1 or 2 from [RDWY_ID]
8th Z from [MLGE_TYPE] or replace space with ‘0’
9th 1 – 9 from [OVLAP_MLGE_CD] or replace space with ‘0’
10th ‘S’ (constant)
11th ‘0’ (constant)
12th ‘0’ (constant)
Results should resemble
0001CQ100S00 or 000100100S00
This is the query I used in Access.
LRS: "0" & IIf((Len(LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID])))=3),LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID])) & "00",LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID]))) & [HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![DIR_RDWY_ID] & IIf([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![MLGE_TYPE]=" ",0,[HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![MLGE_TYPE]) & IIf([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![OVLAP_MLGE_CD]=" ",0,[HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![OVLAP_MLGE_CD]) & "S00"

Dynamic SQL - Concatenation!

I've been trying to create a dynamic query using the 'Like' clause and '%'.
my code snippet looks like this:
while (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)begin set @likeString = @likeString + ' item_Text LIKE ''%'+@word+'%'' OR ' fetch next from theLike into @word end
-- strip off last ORset @likeString = ltrim(rtrim(substring(@likeString, 0, (len(@likeString) - 3))))-- ================================================-- create query to find keywords in the index and store in temp table-- ================================================set @query = 'INSERT into #resulttable (itemcount, item_id) SELECT COUNT(d.item_id), d.item_id FROM tp_index_details AS d INNER JOIN tp_index ON d.idx_id = tp_index.idx_id 'set @query = @query +' WHERE (d.idx_id IN (SELECT idx_id FROM tp_index AS i WHERE ( 'set @query = rtrim(@query) + @likeStringset @query = @query + ' ) AND (subscription_id = 1000))) GROUP BY d.item_id ORDER BY d.item_id DESC'
The problem is the @query string gets truncated. My question is how to get the quotes around '%' variables to work in a string?

SQL And Proper Concatenation Within VB
Jun 9, 2008Hi all - I have posted inquiries on this rather vexing issue before, so I apologize in advance for revisting this. I am trying to create the code to add the parameters for two CheckBoxLists together. One CheckBoxList allows users to choose a group of Customers by Area Code, the other "CBL" allows users to select Customers by a type of Category that these Customers are grouped into. When a user selects Customers via one or the other CBL, I have no problems. If, however, the user wants to get all the Customers from one or more Area Codes who ALSO may or may not be members of one or more Categories; I have had trouble trying to create the proper SQL. What I have so far:Protected Sub btn_CustomerSearchCombined_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_CustomerSearchCombined.Click Dim CSC_SqlString As String = "SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.CustomerName, Customers.CategoryID, Customers.EstHours, Customers.Locality, Category.Category FROM Customers INNER JOIN Category ON Customers.CategoryID = Category.CategoryID WHERE " Dim ACItem As ListItem Dim CATItem As ListItem For Each ACItem In cbl_CustomersearchAREA.Items If ACItem.Selected Then CSC_SqlString &= "Customers.AreaCodeID = '" & ACItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next CSC_SqlString &= "' AND " <-- this is the heart of my problem, I believe For Each CATItem In cbl_CustomersearchCAT.Items If CATItem.Selected Then CSC_SqlString &= "Customers.CategoryID = '" & CATItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next CSC_SqlString = Left(CSC_SqlString, Len(CSC_SqlString) - 4) CSC_SqlString &= "ORDER By Categories.Category" sql_CustomersearchGrid.SelectCommand = CSC_SqlString End SubAny help on this is much appreciated, many thanks --
