I have a table that contains names that are all in upper case, this column is called in many different areas of my web app. I wanted to make the names all lowercase, or with the leading character only capitalized.
How can I make a column within a SQL table lowercase at the SQL server end and not the programming side?
thanks,
Frank
I would like SQL Server 2000 to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters, but only within a single stored procedure. Also, at the end of the sp, I want the original collation to be restored. How will I implement this in my sp?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VøyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY
View 3 Replies View RelatedI instance where customers want to migrate SQl dB to a new server. I want to change part of the path to lowercase.
The part to be change is always a computer name i.e. ComputernameDatareportA24440 testUser.doc I want to define the computername and the script changes only the computername to lowercase
Using
Update Table
set Path =LOWER(Path) -- etc.
Go
Changes all the path to lowercase,
Note the Computername will always be different depending on the customer. The reason for changing the PCname to lowercase each client can type the PC name in various ways
i.e. Texdom, servicedom, XDB-XDE-46
I know you are able to display data all uppercase or all lowercase, but how do you display it First letter capital rest lower. Like a First or Last name?

if a customer can have up to 10 acounts and each account has a balance,
in customer_account table, the same custID repeats and relates to an
accountID and each account has its own balance.
How to display each customer in ONE row and list his account one next to another ?
for example:
custID, acct#1, acct#1Balance, acct#2, acct#2Balance, acct#3, acct#3Balance
how to do write SQl to achive it ?
This is chanllenging to me...
Your advise is greatly appreciated !
This is what I would like to do...
1. Alter Table Status
Add ConsiderOpenFlag int null
2. UPDATE values...
3. Alter Table Status
Alter ConsiderOpenFlag int not null
Steps 1 and 2 are easy. What I cannot figure out is step three.
I don't want to have a default on that column, though I wouldn't mind adding it and then dropping it later if it would help.

The states in this report are all in caps TEXAS, CALIFORNIA, etc.. Is there a way to use expressions to only have the first letter in uppercase and rest in lowercase?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello, I have a table (publication) that has a primary key pubID which is an identity specification. This ID already has relationships to other tables.
I am having problems trying to make one of the other columns in the same table to auto generate. This column (bibNumber) is not related to any other table. All i want to do is when i create a new record in the table, auto generate a number for this column bibNumber.

I have a table with a TEXT column that allows nulls.
Now I need to change it, and make it NOT NULL, but I Can't
ALTER TABLE BUSINESS_UNIT_LANG
alter column VISION text not null
And I get:
Server: Msg 4928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot alter column 'VISION' because it is 'text'.
Is it impossible to make a text column NOT NULL when it accepts NULLS ?
All rows and columns are populated, in consequence there isn't any col with null values
Any idea?
Thanks!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm making some reports that are made for getting printed. I currently have three groups of reports, each group having four charts (four A4 papers/group). To cut down on the sheer number of papers on the boards I've been asked to merge these charts so that we'll have all three groups in one chart. This works fine for three of the charts (two line charts and one column chart), where the results gets neatly organized in group order. Where I ran into problems was the last chart..
The last chart is a stacked column chart. With one group, it works quite well; the x-axis is by year/week, and for each week there's a bar where the lower part is "done" and the upper part is "failed".
Now when doing this graph with multiple groups (groups as series), it doesn't put the different groups beside each other as I would've wished, instead it piles them on top of each other as if it was a 100% stacked column.
So the question is; is there some way to make a stacked column graph with multiple series that are one stacked bar per group instead of having all of them stacked on top of each other? Am I just missing some small detail here?

But I expect to get the structure like, care_nbr, cust_nbr,legal_name, address_type=physical address, addr_line_1, addr_line_2, address_type-primary address, ddr_line_1, addr_line_2. That means I only need primary and physical address, and expect them to show in a row to each care_nbr. How to perform that?

The reason I say this is because a subtotal of a dollar amount will take up more space than other values. Right now, I'm forced to make all columns the same larger width because it appears to be all wrapped into 1 column width setting. I can try to change the value of the subtotal column, "matrixcolumn4", but it reverts to the other value after I press enter to apply the changes.

I am using Visual Studio 2005 to write an asp.net web site which includes an SQL data base. In the databaseI have a table called 'ACCOUNTS' which has primary key column called 'ID' and a nvarchar column called 'Name'.
I want the values in the 'Name' column to be unique in the table so that all accounts have unique names. I don't want to make the 'Name' column the primary key because I want people to be able to change the name of their account after it has been created.
It seems to me there must be some way to add such a constraint to the table but I can find none. I have searched the documentation and seen loads of references to unique columns but I can't find any way to set a column to unique thru the IDE (or any other way). Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm running SQL Server 2008 Feb08 CTP and I've got a tablix with column groupings and row groupings which works nicely, I'm a becomming a big fan of the tablix.
However sometimes the filter I have on a column group returns no records and the whole column group disappears.
Is there any way to make this column appear with but with empty cells as I have another tablix down the page with the same columns and I want the columns to all line up on the multiple tablix.
In Version 2005 I used to achieve the equivalent of a column group within a table by adding a list with filter to the cell, this meant the column always was shown, the tablix allows does this much more elegantly but I'll have to go back to the old method if I can't make the column remain.
Am I just missing a simple option?

So if my Parameter value is...
MCCL, MCMA, MCPL, MCPR, MCRE, MCSE, MCSN, MCVA, MCCL, MCEP, MCMA, MCREÂ out of 43 possible choices,
What is the expression syntax to hide my tablix column based on my parameter value?
=iif(instr(Join(Parameters!ColumnVisibility.Value,","),"MCCL","MCMA","MCPL"...)>0,false,true)
Just not sure of the syntax...or do I have to qualify each one???
= IIf(Parameter!PF1.Value = "MCCL" OR Parameter!PF1.Value = "MCMA"..., TRUE, FALSE)
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?
