View 14 RepliesI am writing an SQL query to find an replace data in a column. I have a table that is filled with
C:usersXXXXappdata
C:usersYYYYappda
C:usersZZZZZZappdata
I would like to replace the c:usersXXXXX part with %userprofile%
The end result would be %userprofile%appdata
I know how to dot the replacement in powershell. it's quite easy
-replace "c:users[^]+","%userprofile%"Â Â
Basically how would transfer this into SQL...
hi,
i am using a forEach look to import each file within a folder, but i also need to calculate the dataset related ot these files.
the file are named as:
ff_inbound_20071008_1.csv
ff_inbound_20071008_2.csv
where for file ff_inbound_20071008_1.csv:
ff => flat file
inbound => dataset of this csv
20071008 => date
1=> file count
having in mind that they are store in the variable as a full path:
z:myFlatFilesexportsproj01ff_inbound_20071008_2.csv
i need to extract the dataset and the date for each file.
how can i extract these terms from the file name?
many thanks,
nicolas
I need a report that shows calcul of a field for current year as well as previous year respecting this rule expression(Last-Last Previous)/Last Previous*100 (I work with MDX Query and i work with SSRS 2008).
Also the report runs on a Year Parameter. Below is an example for the result for example i selected the years 2010 2011 2012 i can select another years because i have the report runs on a Year Parameter
year
Data 2010 2011 2012
hp 14 25 30
Dell 17 18 20
and the result i want
year
Data 2010 2011 2012 2011/2012
hp 14 25 30 0.002 (Last -Last Previous)/(last Previous*100) =(30-25)/(25*100)
Dell 17 18 20 0.0040
Thanks in advanace for taking the time to read this post.
I am using MSSQL 2005 and have created a function that allows me to use regular expressions in my SQL queries.
My question is I have a pattern buried in a field of misc data that I need to pull out just that pattern and discard the rest of the data. Here is the Regular Expression I am using
select field1 from table1
where dbo.RegExMatch (field1,'[a-zA-Z]{4}[0-9]{6}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}')=1
This returns all values in the field that match the expression. What I want to do now is remove all data from the field on the left and right of the expression that does not match the expression. How would I accomplish this without reading through the 200k+ records and writing rules for every exception I run across?
so I could have Gar b/a ge 'THE GOOD DATA' m/or1 ba4d da....ta. All I want to do is return 'THE GOOD DATA'

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
(processing): (SortExpression ++ m_context.ExpressionType)
I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you

I need a statement like:UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = QuestionNumber +1 WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
(Required output is clear from statement itself)
I tried with
UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = EVAL(QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1
and
UPDATE tblQuestions SET QuestionNumber = (QuestionNumber +1) WHERE QuestionNumber >=10 AND TestID = 1 AND SectionNumber = 1

I have the following code in the expression builder for a ExecuteSQL Task in the Control Flow.

What am I doing wrong in the expression builder?
Is it possible to nest expressions within a script in a similar fashion to how they're nested within the expression editor?
I have a requirement to strip trailing digits from a string field, so that only two decimal places are left.
e.g.
1.12345 becomes 1.12
12345.6789 becomes 12345.67
I would do this in the expression editor but I need to use Script component because there are a multitude of conditions that need to be evaluated first which I will do inside a Select Case statement.
I'm wrestling with code that looks like
Newratefield = ratefield.Substring(1, Findstring(ratefield, ".", 1) + 2)
but VB doesn't like the 'Findstring(ratefield, ".", 1) + 2)' part.
Any suggestions on what I can do here?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I need to replace a field that might contain a certain character with another should the value occur.
To explain
If i get a hash # in the field, then I need to replace the whole field with a 0 since its a numeric field
I'm just a bit of a noob still with expressions

Hi,
Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like?
Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%.
Cheers,

Hello,In VB/VB.NET, I can use an expression as such to evaluate true/false:Dim blnValue As Boolean = (SomeObject.Property = "Some value")Can I do this in T-SQL?declare @var bitset @var = ?Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello, I need to create a table where a column's data should have a hypen inserted after the second character. The table will accept a large input of rows, so I think it would be better to use a SQL expression or formula on the column to provide the hyphen on insert rather than doing an update statement later. There is no way of knowing how many characters will follow the hyphen.
So for example... 888888 would become 88-8888
or 5555555555555555 would become 55-55555555555555
Any help would be great!

HiI'm looking to return rows from a table where a column is LIKE a keyword. This is my current code:SELECT DISTINCT business_name FROM Table WHERE business_name LIKE @keyword + '%' ORDER BY business_name ASCThe problem with this is that if a business is called "The White Ship Inn", and the keyword to match is "White Ship" it will not match. If i put another wild card in front of @keyword then this finds too many matches - i need it to match against columns which either start with the keyword, or have a whitespace in front of them. Is there some kind of T-Sql i can use or will i have to go down the regex route (using this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/xpregex.aspx)) ?cheers

The full error is this: Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS.
My Code:
SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.EmailAddress, Customers.LastName, Customers.FirstName,

ON Addresses.CustomerID = Customers.CustomerID WHERE Addresses.AddressID = Customers.BillingAddressID),

I have an expression based upon 2 fields in a view that I want to be able to divide and then multiply by a number. Whenever I do the division portion of the calculation all I get are 0 & 1's. I was hoping to use the percentage in other calculations.
Is there something similar to FORMAT(X/Y,0.00)?
(vwLbrPosSum.PosMin/vwMinByEmp.TotMin) x (a)vwLbrPosSum.PosMin or (b) 2400 or (c)vwMinbyEmp.TotMin - 2400
