I have an integer field that ranges from 3 to 6 numbers and I need to left pad leading zeros so the field is always a char(7). What is the syntax to do this? Thanks in advance.

I need to cast an integer to a string to append to another string for a barcode.
How can I get 1 -> '0001' OR 100 -> '0100'
Any suggestions?

in our database is saved by 6 decimal places, whether the value has no values ??in decimal position. Field type is of type nvarchar.
How do I remove these "laggards spirit" in the best and smartest way.
Ex:
100.000000 will be 100
100.001000 will be 100.001
100.000001 will be be 100.000001
100.100000 will be be 100.1
and so on...
I have a table with an integer field (contains test values like 2, 7,8,9,12,..) that I want to convert to an Identity field. How can this be done in t-sql?
TIA,

hi all,
i have an autonumber field (primary key) and another integer field as part of a table. What i want to do is when a record is created, the default value of the integer field should be the_autonumber+1000 for eg record with pk 82 will have an integer field that's automatically 1082. Would it be possible to do this ? Thanks in advance.
If I have a field where 99.9% of the time the answer is going to be "No", would I be better, in terms of disk space, using:
A bit field
OR
A tiny int field, with a NULL for the 99.9% that are "NO", and a 1 for those that are "YES".
I'm using SQL Server 7.0.
My application developer has no preference.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am trying to write an SQL command to set the default value of an integer column I have within a table.
ALTER TABLE TableName alter column ColumnName int default 0
Any suggetions?
We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
Thanks.

Thank you very much for the information.
Currently I have the following stored procedure which simply adds a new row in my SQL Express 2005. What I want is that -1). before inserting the record find out the new ID (primary key) value. (ID is automatically a sequential integer generated by SQL Server)2). and set COMPANY_ID = (new) ID Any thoughts? Thanks ALTER PROCEDURE usp_tbl_Company_Insert @Company_ID int, @Name varchar(200), AS<FIND THE NEW ID of the new row in the database> @Company_ID = (new ID) INSERT INTO tbl_Company (Company_ID, Name,)VALUES (@Company_ID, @Name)

Hello!
I am trying to run a query on an SQL-server database:
SELECT (Left(Comments, 20)) As shortComment FROM myTable
The Field Comments is a Text field (datatype is text), and I can't get the LEFT function to work with this datatype...

Greetings,
I have several reports for which the user has asked to have an optional muti-value parameter. They want to be able to select zero, one, many, or all values in the parameter list. The parm list is created through a query and the values are not static.
I would like to allow the user to leave the muti-value field empty if they want to allow all values to appear on the report. I've read some discussion about populating a multi-value default with the same query that produces the multi-value list values - presto, everything is selected. However, this is not a desirable solution for me because I "echo" the users parameter selections in the report heading. Selecting all values (and some parms have a lot of values) would cause the "parm feedback" section to grow large and unreadable.
In short, I don't want to tell the user they have to select everything when they really want to select nothing.
Is there any way to have a muti-value parm that won't insist the user select one or more values?
Thanks,
BCB
I want to see all the fields list on the left side of report layout, you can drag a field and put it on the report.
Thank you very much.
Working on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
* That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
I have a table PLACE with a character column CODE
[Code] [nchar](4) NULL
I need to left pad the column with 0 if it is less than 4 characters long and extract the first 2 characters on the left into a new column COUNTY_CODE.
How can I do that in transact SQL?
I tried:
SELECT RIGHT(RTRIM('0000'+ISNULL([Code],'')),4)
FROM [Place]
WHERE [Place Code]='B' and [Code]='627'
And I got 0627. And how do I extract the first 2 characters?
How to remove space left to right and right to left
If I give limit >60 for first 60 character; limit 60< second 60 character
Result would be check if space at 60 character if yes remove and go the 59 character check then space remove and 58 character check if there is charater then display
As well as after 60 character to till 120 for right space
Anyone know why using
SELECT *
FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id
instead of
SELECT *
FROM a LEFT JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id
generates a different execution plan?
My query is more complex, but when I change "LEFT OUTER JOIN" to "LEFT JOIN" I get a different execution plan, which is absolutely baffling me! Especially considering everything I know and was able to research essentially said the "OUTER" is implied in "LEFT JOIN".
Any enlightenment is very appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a problem.
The SQL statement I have is like this
select * from table where (convert varchar(25),AMT) LIKE '%0%'
This causes all my data to appear instead of 1 only if I key 77 into the textbox because AMT is a currency type with 77.000.
So is there another way of solving this other than truncating off the zeroes?
If so feel free to assist me, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi All,
Can anybody tell me how to remove the trailing zeros from the numeric field?
The data looks like this:

61.0000000
It should look like this:

24
2356

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.
