I loaded data into a CHAR fields from Legacy.
How to remove those leading spaces with in SQL server...?
I have a char(12) field that was loaded like '000000000101' I need to change the data to be ' 101'. Is there a way to do this and preserve the number and keep the leading spaces?
Thanks
Hi
Is there any way to trim all the leading and trailing spaces in all the column in a table.

I spent huge amount of time figuring out how to preserve lading and trailing white spaces on report display without success. Can anyone help me here?
My problem is I have data with leading and or trailing white spaces and I need to show it as is. In designer preview it shows correct values. As soon as report is published and accessed on web, it truncates the whitespaces . I had a look at source, it shows values are correctly fetched(with spaces) but are ignored while rendering. I also tried replacing blank space with , however it reads this as  .
I am using asp.net 2.0 and SQL serer 2005 reporting services.
In SQL Reporting I want the user to pass a parameter to the report; the parameter is a employee number. Easy right, you write a where statement like where table_name.employee_number =@employee_number. When the user runs the report they€™re asked to type in the number.
My problem is the dB stores the employee number with leading spaces padding the number out to 9, so if the user types in 1 they get jack, but if they type in €˜ 1€™ they get the right employee. I can€™t roll it out that way
I€™d do something in the where clause so the user could just type in 1 & it would auto pad out to 9 spaces. I€™ve tried using the €˜LIKE€™ clause & I€™ve tried using concatenate but so far neither works well.
I'd appreciate any advice

I have a table that contains a column called hardness. It is a varchar 50 and actually contains numbers. I did not create the database so not sure why they choose varchar vs. number. I need to write a query that will return all results with a space prior to the number in this column. I am having difficulty and would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have following query which return me SP/Views and Functions script using:
select DEFINITION FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESNow, the result looks like
Create proc

Hi over there, my first visit here and already the first question:
I need a SELECT-statement which formats all one-digit numbers with a leading zero.
IE:
1->01
2->02
7->07
10->10
11->11
I have fields like '0006','0007','0004'
etc. I need to convert this in 4 char field as right justify 6,7,4. How would I do that?
Another question:
fields in input file as 77,77.0,77.90,77.99,
I need to show them right justify in 10 chars field as 77.00,77.00,77.90 and 77.99
How would I do that?
Please help!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance!!
I am not a DBA whatsoever so please bear with me ...
There is an existing SQL table with 3 fields that are to gather numeric data:
Name - Data Type - Length
1. TPID1 - int - 4
2. TPID2 - int - 4
3. BPIN - int - 4
If any of the 3 above are submitted with a zero in front (input = 01234), the zero will not show. (output = 1234)
I thought if I changed Data Type to nvarchar, the data would be read just like text and appear as entered. (I reviewed other table designs and nvarchar is the data type for other similar data.) Saved the table changes and still the leading zero does not show.
Any advice would be appreciated - thanks
declare @Mymonth as varchar(2)
set @MyMonth = '0' + datepart(m,getdate())
print @MyMonth
why wont the above produce 05 just 5
Hi all,
Anyone know how to transfer data from 1 or 2 characters to 3 characters.
For example we have mpc_code in source as 1, 2, 3 then target need to be 001, 002 and 003.
Then if 12, 13 then change to 012, 013. Put zero as leading space.
Thanks.

I'm trying to write the contents of a csv file to a table, but I am having problems with fields with leading zeroes. Whenever I save as csv I lose the leading zeroes. Does anybody know how to prevent this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to add leading zeros in the date. Thsi is my existing procedure, it adds leading zeros, but it formats using "yyyy/mm/dd", instead of "yyyy-mm-dd"

1.0
13.0
6.0
I need to push it into a table that accepts whole numbers. (none of the results actually will have a decimal like .05 or 1.5, all .00 will be 0)
What I need in the results is whole numbers, but if the results are 6.00 I need 06 to go into the table. I know a straight int convert will drop the decimals, and I could use a csae to set the .00 to 00, but what would be the best way to change the 6.00 to 06?

Brain is overloaded and I'm just not getting this! Ugh! I need a field that will be exported/displayed to contain 10 characters, no spaces. The field I'm extracting is 8 characters and the numerical data (int) is any range up to that. So I have 35795 and need it to be 0000035795 but I could also have a 1057893 and will need it to be 0001057893. I tried various forms of this...
Select '00' + Right (chk_no, 8)
and it's just not correct.
Anyone have a suggestion on what I'm not seeing?
TIA!

Hiya all,
I have a linked table between SQL and BTrieve.
I have a column that returns 1 ,2 ,10 etc.
In Btrieve the datatype is numeric and 3 digits long.
But in SQL I want 001 , 002 ,010.
Anyone got some code to programatically add 00 if 1,2,3
or add o if 10,11 or add none if 100,101
I also tried casting as in CAST(table.ID AS NUMERIC(3,0)) as Del_ID,
but SQL still returns 1,2,10 and not 001,002,010
Hi All,
I want to add a leading zero to a field based on a param that I create on the fly in my stored proc. I have a @month which is created from my datetime param @date.
@Month needs to be char(2) but if the month is inputted as '04' I get '4 ' in the table (note the space after 4)
How can I add a leading zero to this field?
Set @Year = right('0',1)year(@Date) is spitting it's toys out.
Thanks,
Brett
Hi Folks,
I have a situation where I need to display an integer with leading zeros, with a defined length.
Example, 43 appears as 00043 when the length is 5 and 000043 when the length
is 6.
I tried using "=Format(Fields!DirID.Value.ToString)" with different variations to no avail.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

I have an SSIS routine which uses a simple SQL select statement from a SQL Server 2005 database and then goes to a Flat File destination. The field (dischstatuscode) is a nvarchar(50) and it may contain data with leading zeros.
Code Snippet
Select DischStatusCode
from dbo.pm
...which returns:
01
23
37
05
04
41
When I open up the csv file produced by the SSIS routine, I see the following:
1
23
37
5
4
41

I use the following code to fill the missing leading zero from datepart sys function. Is there another way simple to get the leading zero if month < 10 and/or if day < 9?
-D

declare @currentYYYYMMDD char(8)
declare @currentYYYY char(4), @currentMM varchar(2), @currentDD varchar(2)
select @currentYYYY = cast(datepart(yyyy, getdate()) as char(4))
select @currentMM = cast(datepart(mm, getdate()) as varchar(2))
select @currentDD = cast(datepart(dd, getdate()) as varchar(2))
print '@currentYYYY: ' + @currentYYYY + ' @currentMM:' + @currentMM + ' @currentDD:' + @currentDD
select @currentMM = case when @currentMM < 10 then '0' + @currentMM
else @currentMM end
select @currentDD = case when @currentDD < 10 then '0' + @currentDD
else @currentDD end
print '@currentYYYY: ' + @currentYYYY + ' @currentMM:' + @currentMM + ' @currentDD:' + @currentDD
select @currentYYYYMMDD = @currentYYYY + @currentMM + @currentDD
print '@currentYYYYMMDD: ' + @currentYYYYMMDD
I'm looking for a string function (or any other quick way) for adding a leading zero to make a string two characters long. For example, if the input is '12' the result will be '12' but if the input is '1', the result will be '01'.
It's actually about making a month number two characters long but I've understood there is no way to make Datediff() to fix it for me.
I thought there might be a string function for this, like there is in many programming languages, but I can't find anything in BOL. I want to keep it simple, because it will be used in a Select and a Group By for aggregating data based on time intervals (year + month).
And, I assume I can't make Datepart() to return year + month directly, only one of the parts at a time.
I am creating a view which involved concatenation of 2 int columns.
The data in the columns look like
Column 1 Column 2
1234 1
12345 11
I am trying to get the following output
001234001
012345011
So the first column should have zeros padded to the front to make 6 numbers, the second column should be 3 numbers long with zeros in front. So when added together it is 9 numbers long.
