Which function should I use to remove alphabet in a string?
For example, 60a , 50b, 34s, 34k. I want to remove the suffix alphabet. I tried to use filter but it return an array. i want the return value to be string or int to display.
Got a tough one here for you SQL junkies.I'm working on a website (in ASP) for a national greek/collegeorganization. All it's college chapters have greek chapter names,i.e. Alpha Chapter, Delta Chapter, Delta Iota Chapter, Gamma PhiChapter, ect. ect.I need the SQL to return the chapters in greek alphabet ordering. Seebelow:1. Alpha2. Beta3. Gamma4. Delta5. Epsilon6. Zeta7. Eta8. Theta9. Iota10. Kappa11. Lambda12. Mu13. Nu14. Xi15. Omicron16. Pi17. Rho18. Sigma19. Tau20. Upsilon21. Phi22. Chi23. Psi24. OmegaBasically I need a way to specify this type of presedence for wordingand keep all the results in greek-letter order, so Sigma Upsilon comesbefore Sigma Tau, and so on.Also, to make it even more difficult, these are written words, not theactual greek symbols like α β etc. Everything is stored inthe DB as Alpha Beta Whateva Chapter.Hopefully some of you SQL junkies will be able to help on this one ;)
I have a basic while loop but I need to be able to increment the counter from one alpha character to the next: declare @counter nvarchar(10) set @counter = 'A' while @counter < 'Z' beginprint 'the counter is ' + @counter set @counter = @counter + @counter end
In this example I would need to see the following output: the counter is Athe counter is Bthe counter is Cthe counter is D..... Is this possible in SQL?
Is there an easy way to loop through all rows and remove allinternational alphabet characters from a column in a table, for exampleremove German umlauts "ü" and convert them to a simple "u".Thanks,lq
I have a report which lists out the employees' details. I need A-Z links above the report, On clicking on an alphabet, say "C", should display all the employee details whose name starts with the selected alphabet. In the stored procedure we can accept the character and return back those results. But it is not a drill report and we need the result in the same report. Is there any way so that on clicking each link, the output will be shown in the same report. Any help is appreciated.
Hi, I have a question that may seem simple to you, but I am having trouble locating the answer.
I want to install sp1 for sql server 2005. The directions tell me to select the correct link and give me three choices. The choices are differentiated with x86, x64, and IA.
I installed the 32 bit sql server 2005 on a window xp professional gateway personal computer. I'm just learning, so I did not involve my home network.
hi all, anyone has any idea in what i want to accomplish here :- how can we sort the select statement, say, we want to compare integer inputqty=60.. how can we match the suitable sum of column qty to reach the 60 figure...
EG -> qty column : 50, 25, 15, 10
i)how can we prompt the select statemnet to choose 50 and 10 to make it 60... ii)for another eg, say inputqty=90, then how can we prompt it to select 50 + 25 + 15 = 90 iii)and for some cases, if no round qty, the sum could be more, but the least from the qty list... eg : inputqty=80, how to automate the select statement to choose the closest figure, 50 + 25 + 10 = 85
i dunno if this is possible for any select or function or sp... thankss....
I need a way to select records at random from a SQL Server 2000 table. If the record I've selected at random meets a few simple conditions (column X <> 'A' and column Y == 'Z') then return this record and get the next. Ideally I'd be able to do this in a stored proc where I'd call it with:
parameter 1: table name parameter 2: number of random records to get parameter 3: value for condition 1 parameter 4: value for condition 2
I have the below data with two columns (Posting Date and Pond Crop, construct an SQL where i will pick and display only the TOP 3 Posting date of EACH Pond Crop. I only attached less data but in reality there are lots of Ponds and posting date in this table.
Raw Data Posting Date PondCrop 2011-11-21 00:00:00.00001PA01-15 2011-11-28 00:00:00.00001PA01-15 2011-12-02 00:00:00.00001PA01-15 2011-12-05 00:00:00.00001PA01-15
I have a table as below: user_id app_id form_id 1 a 1245 1 a 1345 1 b 1548 2 a 1245 2 a 1345 2 a 1411 2 b 1678 2 c 1245 3 b 1678 Now I want compare user 1 with user 2, and find out the records for user 2 where there are no app_id and from_id the same as user 1, so the output should be" 2 a 1411 2 b 1678 2 c 1245 Please advise how I can do this. Many thanks.
I have installed the MS SQL Server (Developer Edition) that comes with Visual Studuo 2005 Professional Edition into my computer. Seems like install is OK and I can see both SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLSERVER in configuration manager. I can start/stop both of the servers OK. However, when I try to make a connection from Visual Studuo 2005, I can only see SQLEXPRESS in the pick list in "Add Connection" window. SQLSERVER is not in the list.
The very first task I wanted to do is to convert and Access database to SQL. For that reason, I also installed "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access". In that application I cannot even see any server name when the wizard asks which server to choose. I also tried to start/stop "Sql Server Browser" service. When I stop the service, the pick list becomes empty and when I start the service the pick list has only SQLEXPRESS.
So, how can I see or pick MSSQLSERVER to make a connection in either applications? Please note I am VERY NEW to SQL Server and I appreciate your answers with that consideration.
We have two tables (one has DTS import of external spreadsheet - the other is the online table) The scenario is that I need to add items (from the first table) to the second table, when they don't exist. However, it's harder than that - the second table, in some fields has integers (ID field)), referring to another table (let's call it the 3rd table), but the first table has text (which is in the description, in the third table). I have to run through the first table, row by row, checking the part number if it already exists in the second table - nothing happens, and it goes to the next line. In each line, if the part number does NOT exist, I need to insert the data in that row. BUT - remember that third table, for the item(s) in the first table with text, I need to dynamically query the third table, to get the ID, in order to complete the insert correctly (Select ID from Third Table where Description=@FirstTableFieldText) I've never done anything like this, and I have no idea how to put this together - especially if it's all in one Stored Procedure. I need some help here on recommended ways to do it (and how)..... Even the base structure (pseudo code- whatever) would help
My case is I have customers with multiple ordering dates, I'll to run a query to pull only records within 2 months period based on the previous picking records. Ex is below:

I want to pick the recent modified date for DepCode and sum Yearly and Monthly Amount. I have tried this query and not able to get the output. This is the single table.
select B1.[ID], B1.[AppName], B1.[DepCode], B1.[DepName], B1.[Group], B2.ModifiedDate, B2.YearlyAmount, B2.MonthlyAmount, B1.[FuBded], B1.[AppCategory], B1.[Research] FROM Business B1 INNER JOIN (select [ID], MAX(ModifiedDate) as ModifiedDate, SUM(YearlyAmount) as YearlyAmount, SUM(MonthlyAmount) as MonthlyAmount from Business Group by ID) B2 ON B1.ID = B2.ID AND B1.ModifiedDate = B2.ModifiedDate
I want to write a SSIS which picks up the source and destination tables at runtime is it possible. As we have a SSIS which is used to pull data from oracle but the source and destination table name changes.
Good afternoon SQL dudes Does anyone have any experience of extracting data from IBM's UniData (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniData) (or any post-relational Pick nested relational multi-valued relational database) into a SQL Server?More info here (http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/ProdsXMLEnabled.htm), here (http://www.pick-ware.co.uk/) and here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_operating_system) I don't (which is why I am asking) but I could imagine it being a right bugger. No need for detailed or technical info - I have no more info at this stage - just wondered if anyone has any similar experience. Super duper, thank you SQL troopers :)
I have a stored procedure that is pulling 3 parameters: @user_id, @, begin_date and @end_date. The parameters are setup in the 'parameters' tab of the data set, and also the 'report parameters', however, when I go to run report, I get textbox for user_id, instead of a drop down with pick list.
I tried creating a separate dataset to bring in user_id's only and manually create a parameter for it in 'report parameters'. I then get a drop down box with repeating data, and when I run the report, I get back all user_id's instead of the one I chose.
I'm finding the parameters are the most difficult concept within RS. Does anyone know I can make this work?
I have a MSSQL Report Services Report Model set up to allow users to create their own ad hoc reports. The data source for my model is a Named Query that queries a MS SQL view that actually pulls data from a series of tables & other views. When you create a report from this model and attempt to filter the data some of the fileds will provide you with a pick list to select which values you would like to filter on and other fields do not provide you with a pick list but require you to enter the data directly that you wish to filter on. Most of the data fields that I am trying to filter on are varchar fields and like I said some will create a pick list for you to selet from and others will not. This all seemed to start after I changed my data source to a Named Query rather than having my data source as the MS SQL View directly. I did this becuase it seemed that anytime I had to make a change to the views that the data source pulled from it would mess up any existing reports that had been created and this does not happen if I use a named query. I have gone crazy trying to figure this one out so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, I have a table in SQL Server 2005 which has [Id] and [Name] as its columns. I also have a Oracle database which has a similar table.
What I want to do is as follows: In a SSIS package, I want to pick up details from SQL Server and update the Oracle table. And then should be done without using a linked server connection.
Can someone guide me as to how I can specify a update statement in the destination dataflow.
I am designing a ssis package,This is intends to mine text data(Data extracted from websites). Term lookup/Term extraction has been used as tools for mining. I have lookup terms defined with me for reference table,but the main problem lie in extracting the nearby text/number/charcters to these lookup terms during mining. For example : I found noun "Email" 200 (frequency score) times in my text,Now I want to extract nearby email address(this is also true for PhoneNumber,Address attributes also).so how can I achieve this with SSIS. If u have some idea/suggestion to carry out this challenge with or without Term Extraction/Term Lookup,plz do write here.
I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
