Arranging Data On Multiple Rows Into A Sigle Row (converting Rows Into Columns)

Dec 25, 2005

Hello,
I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row:
user1   answer1user1   answer2user1   answer3user2   answer1user2   answer2user2   answer3
For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer):
user1   answer1   answer2   answer3user2   answer1   answer2   answer3
How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row
Thanx,Danny.

Converting String To Unicode String In T-SQL

Mar 26, 2007

Hi,We have stored proc name proc_test(str nvarchar(30)). So far this prochas been invoked from a .NET application assuming that only Englishcharacter strings will be passed to it. The calls are likeproc_test('XYZ')We now have a requirement for passing Chinese strings as well. Ratherthan changing the calls throughout the application, we would like tohandle it in the stored procedure so that it treats the string as aunicode string. Can we apply some function to the parameter to convertit to unicode so that we don't have to call with an N prefixed to thestring?Thanks,Yash

Converting From String To Int

Nov 7, 2007

I have a fixed-width flat file that I'm importing to a SQL table in a data flow task. The first field is an ID field, of length 12, that I'm told I can assume is an INT datatype. Obviously, it's a little silly to shove an integer that can be a max of 10 digits into a 12 digit field... but that's my situation.

I set the columns on the flat file connection manager to be inputColumnWidth of 12, and datatype of DT_I4. When I try to run the package, I get the error (understandably): The data conversion for column "ID" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

What are my options here? I'm going to assume that even though the width is 12 characters, only an integer will appear in those spaces. I attempted to use a derived column and a type cast, but to no avail. Help would be appreciated... thanks!

Converting Bytes To String

May 3, 2007

Hi guys,I'm currently trying to insert image into my SQL db. 
I have tried a number of methods that were posted online, and so far
with no luck.My current code reads:                     Dim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection()                    conn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MainDBConnection").ToString                    conn.Open()                    Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SP_SAVEImage", conn)                    cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure                    Dim sImageName As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageName", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50)                    sImageName.Value = sImageName                    Dim sImageType As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageType", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50)                    sImageType.Value = fileType                    Dim sImageData As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageData", Data.SqlDbType.Image, uploadedFile.Length)                    sImageData.Value = uploadedFile                    cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageName)                    cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageType)                    cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageData)                    Dim reader1 As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader                    reader1 = cmd.ExecuteReaderRunning
through debug, everything runs up until the last line, where an error
is caught saying : Failed to convert parameter value from a
SqlParameter to a String I reckon it's to do with the input sImageData being input as a byte array - but I can't seem to find a way around it. Any help greatly appreciated!!

Converting Hex Data To String

Jan 21, 2001

I am writing a stored procedure that generates a computername for new workstations. Our naming standards, based on terminal ID's, are as follows:
'R' + X + Y + ZZZ, where 'R' is the letter 'R', X is a hex digit indication a locatoin, Y is a hex digit indicating business line, and ZZZ is a hexadecimal sequential number assigned within each location/busines line, for up to 4096. (This isn't a perfect naming standard, but is an improvement over the one that preceded it and is a requirement for our legacy applications).
I can do everything fine, and calculate the sequential number using an int. Once I have the new number, I am trying to convert the integer to a varbinary, then convert that to a string, then use RIGHT to get the rightmost three characters of the hex string.
set @SEQNUM = 4095
set @HEXSEQNUM = CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM)
PRINT CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM) -- displays 0x00000FFE etc.
PRINT 'HEXSEQNUM ' + @HEXSEQNUM -- displays 'HEXSEQNUM'


Any ideas? I am very new to TSQL...

Converting String -&&> UniqueIdentifier

Aug 6, 2007

I get the following error when I do a CONVERT(UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, 'guid'), where 'guid' is a properly formatted GUID created in VS2005, inside my INSERT statement:


The data was truncated while converting from one data type to another. [ Name of function(if known) = ]


The column I am inserting into has a datatype of uniqueIdentifier.

This is the query I am running:


INSERT INTO [Table] ([guid], [value1], [value2])

VALUES (CONVERT(UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, 'F067FE20-EC76-44C8-9859-FEF222FBC96D'), 'Test, 'Test')

What am I doing wrong?

Converting A Hex String To Binary

Jul 18, 2006

I am trying to write a function to convert a hex string to binary. I would like it in a function so I can use it on aggregate data in queries (instead of having to cursor through the data). So, I write my function:

CREATE FUNCTION HexToBinary (@hexstring char(16)) RETURNS binary(8)
AS
BEGIN
declare @b binary(8)
,@sql nvarchar(255)

SET @sql = N'SET @b = 0x' + @hexstring
EXEC sp_executesql @sql,N'@b binary(8) out',@b output
RETURN @b
END

Then, I try to call my function:

SELECT HexToBinary('E0')

...and I get:

Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 1
'HexToBinary' is not a recognized built-in function name.

However, I can get it to work if I use a slightly different syntax:

declare @b binary(8)
exec @b = HexToBinary 'E0'
select @bAny thoughts as to what might be going on? Obviously, the lower syntax does not help me call this function in queries, which is really my goal.

Issues Converting A Varbinary(50) To String.

Mar 31, 2008

Hi Gurus,
Here is my problem-:
I have a field in the SQL 2005 database with type varbinary(50). Now when i enter value to this field, I enter a value for example 111111101. The reason to enter such a value in varbinary(50) type is, that this value is meant to grow, as each 1 and 0 in this value is a permission or right my user would have to various features of the web application, I am designing. Now when I open the table to see the data in the database, it shows as <Binary data>. But that's okay, as binary fields are mostly meant to store pictures, files etc. But when I read this value into my ASP.Net code using c#, the value as returned as 069F6BBD. After some research I realized that for decimal value 111111101, the hex value is 069F6BBD.
All I need in my code is the same thing that I entered which is  111111101.
Can someone guide me a lil bit.
Thanks in advance..

Building A String And Converting To DATETIME

Jul 9, 2007

Hi all, first time post so go easy.

I have been trying to find a way of creating a datetime comprised of getdate() and a time that i specify. I am trying to do this as shown below:

Declare @Test datetime
Declare @Test1 Datetime

Set @Test = getdate()

SET @Test1 = CONVERT(datetime, datepart(y, @Test) + datepart(m, @Test)+ datepart(d, @Test)+' 16:30:00',120)

So, i am building a string using datepart and then adding the time at the end. The 120 after the final comma is to define the style (as i am sure you will all know anyway).

When i run this i get the following error:

Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 35
Syntax error converting the varchar value ' 16:30:00' to a column of data type int.

If i take out the colons it runs but brings back the wrong date, the whole date seems to be dependant on the time part at the end.

I am sure this is a really simple problem and i am sorry if i am wasting you time but its late and i just cant see it. Any help would be fantastic.

Converting Datetime From Character String

Dec 2, 2004

Can anyone tell me what this error message means and how I can correct it on my statement:
Code:

Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

Here's my query statement:
Code:

SELECT animalid AS "Animal ID", name AS "Name", categoryid AS "Category ID", DATENAME(MONTH, dateBorn) + ' ' + DATENAME(DAY, dateBorn) + ', ' + DATENAME(YEAR, dateBorn) AS "Date of Birth"FROM animalWHERE categoryid = 'Cat' AND dateBorn = 'May%'

I know it has something to do with: dateBorn = 'May%' because when I took out Quote: AND dateBorn = 'May%' I get results, but I need to narrow it down to list the cats born in May.

Converting SELECT Output To String

Nov 23, 2005

I'm looking for some good hints and tips for reprogrammin an old VB module I just found.

Basically what it does, is receive an input parameter (an int), does a select [name row] from Names where Name_id = [input parameter] and turns this into a string if multiplenames appear.

E.g. result set: John, Josh, Jock turns it into string "John Josh Jock".

So its piece of cake creating a stored procedure selecting data on the base of an input parameter. Select X from Y where Z = @input... the trick is, I don't know how to do arrays in TSQL as in VB.

In the VB edition I create an array, load the names into it, I do a count on how many row the select returns and then a simple for... next adding the names to the string.

Any good examples on how to do this in a sql-server stored proc?

Thanks,

Trin

P.S. This is what I have pieced together this far:


CREATE PROCEDURE findnames

@number int

AS

DECLARE @instrument varchar(50)
DECLARE @tempinstt varchar(10)

DECLARE medlemcursor CURSOR
FOR
SELECT [MCPS Kode]
FROM DW.dbo.names(NOLOCK)
WHERE number = @number

OPEN medlemcursor

FETCH NEXT FROM medlemcursor INTO @tempinstt
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN
SET @instrument = @instrument + @tempinstt + '-'
FETCH NEXT FROM medlemcursor INTO @tempinstt
END

CLOSE medlemcursor
DEALLOCATE medlemcursor

SELECT @instrument
GO


Just doesn't seem to work, returns NULL, even though I've checked that the cursor SELECT statement actually returns data,

Converting String To Datetime Datatype?

Jul 19, 2014

I have a column which has 05MAY2006:04:34:00.000000 it is stored as varchar(25). I need to save it as datetime in the same column. I have tried using

update tablename
set columnname = (SUBSTRING(columnname,1,2) + '-' + SUBSTRING(columnname,3,3) + '-' +
SUBSTRING(columnname,6,4) + ' ' + SUBSTRING(columnname,11,8));

and then

alter table tablename

alter columnname datetime;

but later it shows up the error

Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1

The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

How do I change it any other opinion or any modification for the above query.

Converting String To Date In SSIS

I have the package created, but one of the input fields on the text file is YYYYMMDD , but the database field it is going into is a datetime so I need to convert it to a valid date format so that the conversion will take place. I tried data conversion task but that doesn't work, now I'm assuming I need to use the derived column, but not sure and don't have a clue how to use that, can anyone help? Thanks bostonrose

Converting A Text String To Datetime

Sep 24, 2007

Hello all,

New to the forums here. I'm not a beginner with SQL, but nor am I a SQL developer - network engineer who knows some scripting and the fundamentals of DB design/administration. There's the background.

I have a database of client information where a date is keyed in and stored as text. Because this is entered by end-users, the way it's entered varies - 1/1/2001, 01/01/2001, etc. Most use "1/1/2001" (note the date is not the same for each record)

I have 4,000 records to update and I need to try to convert the text string to the correct date - changing 1/1/2005 to the same date in proper date/time format. My database uses datetime as an integer calculating the number of days from 12/30/1800. Today's date would be 75508. Time is separated into different fields.

I can do the work to update the text to a single format to make the conversion easier, but I am having trouble locating the proper way to write a convert function to do this. I've searched online (which is how I came here) and have searched the forums without luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
