Hello,
I have a field in a table called 'CourseId' - the course Id should always contain a backslash somewhere in the list of numbers eg :
12342322
11231131
Unfortunately, some of the course Ids have a forward slash instead of a backslash eg :
462322/1
23/232323
How can I update the field to replace the / with a
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony
I have a field 'LastName' in a SQL 2000 table 'customers' that is populated with all our customer's full names in this order:
Smith John M
I need to flip the information around so that it can be exported into a CSV file for an automated email notification program to notify them their items are in and having it in first, last, MI format is much more professional.
I've been playing with charindex and stuff routines and am spinning my wheels. Is there a canned routine for something like this - this must have been done a hundreed times out there in SQL somewhere (or it's so easy to do that everyone (but me) just cranks it from scratch).
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have 1 table with some empty product codes that I have imported from a txt file. And I would like to fill in the empty product codes by taking the previous product code
date product_code
01/01/14 | BIC01 |
03/01/14 | |
01/01/14 | CASH |
04/01/14 | BIC01 |
02/01/14 | CASH |
05/01/14 | |
03/01/14 | CASH |
I though of using the LAG function but the table does not have any specific order.So after running the select, the table should look like:
date product_code
01/01/14 | BIC01 |
03/01/14 | BIC01 |
01/01/14 | CASH |
04/01/14 | BIC01 |
02/01/14 | CASH |
05/01/14 | CASH |
03/01/14 | CASH |
I have a table with a column [FileData] of type TEXT or XML. I need to write the content of the column to a file, using sp_OAWrite for example, but the stored procedure who needs to read the content and write it to the file does not work because the limitation is no local variable for those types. What use is that datatype if i can not use it in procedures like this?
Anyone out there who could give me a tip on how to solve that?
I am attempting to pull certain bits of information from the content field in the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog. I found this blog post that is nearly perfect : URL....However, when I try and bring in the query parameters, I am just getting nulls. All the code is:
--The first CTE gets the content as a varbinary(max)
--as well as the other important columns for all reports,
--data sources and shared datasets.
WITH ItemContentBinaries
AS ( SELECT ItemID ,
Name ,
[Type] ,
CASE Type
WHEN 2 THEN 'Report'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Data Source'
[code]....
I've tried various variations on the bit third line up from the bottom without any joy. I been reading lots on XML this morning and thing my head has completely gone out the window.
Hi,I use view to join difference table together for some function. However,when the "real" table fields changed (e.g. add/delete/change field). Theview table still use the "old fields".Therefore everytimes when I change the real table, I also needed open theview table and save it by SQL enterprise manager manually for update theview table field.Can we use a SQL command or other method to update it directly?Regards,Silas

I was altering a few columns (setting to allow nulls) on a large table (30+ million records) and the machine naturally crashed. I rebooted, and now I can't connect to the DB - enterprise manager hangs, and query analyzer times out. is it likely the whole DB is screwed up, assuming the table alteration was incomplete?
thankfully, I do have a backup, but for future reference, is there a preferred way to make changes to large tables? last time I did this it took over an hour, and enterprise manager gives no progress indication to make me feel more comfortable that it's actually doing something...
Peace be on you,
In my organization, we have a database which exceed unto 2 GB. The application on which we are working is developing since the time of asp / cb 6 and in short it is the baby of many developers. It is a kind of ERP which has no documentation.
Problem 1:
=========
Now, to reduce the size of the database we have examined some of the orphan procedures, tables, and columns. Is it possible for me to create a DTS package which create the backup of all the orphan stuff to some other database and delete it from the actual one. Moreover, We still have doubts that some of fields which we think are orphan, might not be. So we need another DTS package which rollback all the changes. (Any Idea for that)
Problem 2:
=========
We want another DTS package which would move the data from one database to another and same rollback DTS for this one. (Any Idea for that)
Problem 3:
=========
How can we use DTS programming to do these tasks ? what benefits do I got from DTS Programming over DTS Wizard.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I want to create the most effective way (google) to have content displayed on a web page.
Currently, we are updating to SQL and populating to web via calling SQL statements hardcoded to page. I want to know if this is ok to do, or should we be reading from a static XML file that is updated?
I think the XML is the way to go being that i may have answered my own question, but i was curious to what the experts on asp.net had to say.
Thanks,Nick
an outside developer has sent us a mdf file that contains the need updates to a database.
here is where the problem comes in, how can i append the contents of the mdf file to an existing db?
there are about a dozen tables, 50 stored procs, and one new user.
I'm new to SQL and I'm trying to write a statement to satisfy the following:
If [Field1] contains text from [Field2] then return [Field3] as [Field4].
I had two tables where there were no matching keys. I did a cross apply and am now trying to parse out the description to build the key.
Good morning...
I begin with SQL, I would like to add a field that will be date like 21/01/2000.

How to do for having date and time in two different field.
Sorry for my english....

Hi everyone,
I'm just using TEXTBOX control to save data into my DB. My question is, if I have multiple lines of sentences, it does not store as what it looks like. For example;
Hello, Mike
It stores into the database as "Hello, Mike" and if I read from the database, it does not have seperate lines and shows it like this;
Hello, Mike
How can I store the contents into database and make the contents as original? (Sorry for the poor English, but I hope you understand it.)
Hi All,I have a job coming up which involves me creating a vacancy system for our website.I (think) I'll only need one table:ID (PK)JobTitleJobLocationSalaryHoursJobDescriptionValidFrom (Date/Time)ValidTo (Date/Time)I'll display this data using a C#.Net repeater but I was wondering how I can automatically strip the page of the jobs that have gone past their expiry date? Is is straightforward to achieve?Thanks in advance,Brett
View 2 Replies View RelatedHiI have developed a sql procedure for updating some xml content using SQL 2005 xQuery features.For example:Declare @xmlContent = '<books><book name="asp"/>< book name = "sql"/></books>'--Now I want to add attribute "book_id" to the xml content.SET @xmlContent.modify('insert attribute book_id{"1" } into (/books/book[@name="asp"])[1] ')SET @xmlContent.modify('insert attribute book_id{"2" } into (/books/book[@name="sql"])[1] ')SELECT @xmlContent--OUTPUT will be<books><book name="asp" book_id="1"/><book name="sql" book_id="2"/></books>QUESTIONQ1. Do we have any extension or plugin such that this SQl 2005 xquery feature can be incorporated in SQL 2000?Q2. If the answer for Q1. is no (as I expect), then do we have any TSQL feature in SQL 2000 for modifying xml content?I found all examples in SQl 2000 related with "openxml" function which performs the select kind of operations only. Like selecting data in XML format OR converting xml data in to tabular format. But I couldn't find any xml modification TSQL in SQl 2000 which can add element/attributes or change values.one workaround could be to consider xml content as string and use string functions to modify the content.But is there any more sensible approach available in SQL 2000?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOkay, moving to developing a small site that will be storing articles - that is a site largely consisting of html marked up articles with images. We already have an SQL Server so it is becoming the back-end.
So, since I'm not an SQL Server expert, some general advice on this would be appreciated? The articles, as I say in HTML (largely just markup for titles, and general text) would be stored in the DB? As Text datatypes?
How about the images...on disk or in SQL?
hi everybody,
The problem is, I have a table with one column of varchar(8000) datatype. It has got 1000's of records. Through Query Analyzer, I am not able to view my records after 257 columns in my table, even I increased my textsize by using 'set textsize' command.
Any other setting is available to correct this. Any help is appreciated.
thanks,

I have a particular production database that on a few recent occasions has suddenly had one of it's tables empty of content. Now there are no jobs or triggers in place neither is any stored procedures that could perform a delete or alter table operation in place. The permissions have been set not to allow this either. The datatype is text only. What is intriguing is the QA server has an exact mirror and this dosen't happen. Has anyone come across this sort of phenomenon?

Our Business partners request me to read the field names from a SQL table dynamically so that my SSIS package will not get impacted if Web Service hosts make a change.
Is there a way to evaluate a string at runtime that contains a field name ?
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
What approach should I use to copy content of a text file. Is BCP capable of doing this? How about SSIS?
Example of the text file's content:
Date, "20060101"
ST_Code, "101"
A_Code, P_Code, T_Code, amount, price
"0001", "1111", "0101", 550, 230
"0002", "1111", "0102", 345, 122
"2001", 0212", 0930", 410, 90
In the example above, I just want to copy the rows Date, "20060101" and ST_Code, "101" into a table.
Regards,
Lars
HI,
We are using SQLLDR to send data from SQL Server to Oracle database. This utility creates a log file. I want to know whether there is a provision to change the contents of the file. We use this utility in multiple SQL Servers to send the data to the same Oracle Server. Can we add the source server name in the file so that identifying which server does a particular log file belong to? How?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot..
