I have a field that contains data like "mary;john;dog;cat;frog" I want to query the field for the values between each of the semi colins. I was going to use Substring with a patIndex but I can only patIndex the first semi colin and not the 2nd 3rd.... I was wondering if someone could tell me the right was of doing this or point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
How to locate last occurrence of character in string?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem finding the last occurrence of a character in a string.
The charindex seems just able to search from left to right..
Hi all,
Am searching for a built-in function that retrives me the occurrence (counts) of a particular character inside a string.
For e.g. In the String 'SqlServer'. I want to find the no of the character 'e', which shud retrive the value as 2.
Can this be acheived through any function.
Cheers !

I am trying to figure out how I can find the names of people who have a double occurrence or more of characters either in their first name or last name.
This is for a data cleanup.
CREATE TABLE #Names ( FIRSTNAME VARCHAR (20), LASTNAME VARCHAR (20))
INSERT INTO #Names VALUES
('Thomas', 'Hohner')
,('Mike', 'SSmith')
,('TtTony', 'Hawk')
,('Jeff', 'Smith')
,('ZZSara', 'Jones')
,('Luke', 'HendersonZZ')
,('Lily', 'PPadZZZ')
SELECT * FROM #Names
DROP TABLE #Names
I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last
I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.
I have data in a column that starts with 1-4 characters followed by a dash then followed by an number of characters (ex: EU-Surgery).
How do I select everything to the right of the dash when the number of characters to the left of the dash varies?
Here's my table:
-------------------------------
Orders
-------------------------------
UserID | Cost | Item
-------------------------------
Users can make several different orders. I want to only select the row with the first occurrence of a userID. For example:
-------------------------------
Orders
-------------------------------
UserID | Cost | Item
-------------------------------
1 | 3.00 | Box
1 | 6.00 | Candy
2 | 7.00 | Towel
3 | 5.00 | Flower
3 | 6.00 | Candy
Should only select:
1 | 3.00 | Box
2 | 7.00 | Towel
3 | 5.00 | Flower
I'd like to return the left-most character from an 8 character string & the third from the left character too.
Like this ABC00123 returns AC
$query = "SELECT LEFT(uninum,3), RIGHT(uninum,5), clmarea, Date FROM tblunimov";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<div class='tblstyle1'>";
echo "<table class='tblstyle1'>";
echo "<tr><th>ini</th><th>item</th><th>area</th><th>date</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
[Code] ....
This one shouldn't be too hard to do, just can't seem to figure it out.
I have two tables
tNames which contains 'ID' and 'Name'
tLocations which contains 'ID' and 'Location'
each ID may be associated with many Locations
I want to run a query to display these results:
[ID, Name, Location]
but only to return the first Location associated with that ID (or the max, min, I don't really care as long as it's only one result)
right now I have
Code:
SELECT tNames.ID, tNames.Name, tLocation.Location
FROM tNames INNER JOIN tLocations
ON tNames.ID = tLocations.ID
but this returns a new row for each different Location of the same ID
Thanks.

How does one handle this. I have not been able to come up with the sql yet.
In the table you can create below, each set of order number records should contain one record with the OrderNoIndicator field set to 1. i.e. OrderNo 7032357. Is there a way of finding(without using the count function) sets of records that don't contain an OrderNoIndicator set to 1 i.e. OrderNo 7088650 all the OrderNoIndicator fields are set to 2...
use LEIS

Have a need to scan a large table to see if a set of criteria have ever been met.
If/when the scan hits its first record meeting the criteria, the scan can be abandoned.
Is there some syntax/option that accomplishes this?
Right now, I am doing a SELECT with criteria against the table and the @@ROWCOUNT gives me a zero, or non-zero value.
But that methodology means that the SELECT has to execute against the entirety of the table.
I'd like to abandon the SELECT as soon as it detects a first record meeting the criteria.
I'm trying to find the most succinct way to get the last occurrence of April 1st given a date.
At the moment I'm using this:
DECLARE @Date DATE = '20131217'

IIF(
--If we're at the start of a year
--we'll need to go back a year
DATEPART(MONTH, @Date) IN (1,2,3),
DATEADD(YEAR, - 1, @Date),
@Date
)) AS VARCHAR(4)) + '0401')
My sample data is as below.
plan type A change from plan type B from Plan type C
Insurance plan M changed from Insurance plan b From plan d from Plan N
Now from above strings i want to remove all data from second appearance of from. i.e. i want display values as below.
plan type A change from plan type B

I have a problem creating a SELECT query which involves getting the FIRST occurrence, the SUMS and the LAST occurrence of a selected row. I have two tables A and B which has the following data:
Table A
----------------------------------------------------------------
|Item ID | Item Name | Item Description | Current Quantity |
----------------------------------------------------------------
----1------------Bolts-------------35"----------------20
----2-----------Paint----------GOLD Paint------------30
----3-----------Screws------------30"----------------40
----------------------------------------------------------------
and Table B
--------------------------------------------------------------
|Log ID | Item ID | Beginning | Add | Less | Ending | Date |
--------------------------------------------------------------
---1---------1----------30-------0-----10------20------04-04
---2---------2----------40-------10----10------40------04-04
---3---------3----------50-------5-----10------45------04-04
---4---------1----------20-------0-----0-------20------04-05
---5---------2----------40-------0-----10------30------04-04
---6---------3----------45-------0-----5-------40------04-04
-------------------------------------------------------------
and I have two datetime pickers, one FROM date picker and a TO date picker If a user selects FROM 04-04 TO 04-05...I want a select statement which will select the Item Name and Desc, the BEGINNING QUANTITY (in reference to the FROM DATE), the SUM of Adds and Less and the ENDING QUANTITY (in reference to the To Date) and then group by their Item ID
In this case, it will generate a table like this
----------------------------------------------------------
Item Name | Item Desc | Beginning | Add | Less | Ending |
-----------------------------------------------------------
--Bolts---------35"---------30---------0-----10-----20
--Paint-----Gold Paint------40---------10----20-----30
--Screws-------30"---------50---------5-----15-----40
"SELECT A.Item Name, A,Item Desc, B.Beginning=(select B.Beginning from Table B where A.Item ID = B.Item ID AND Date = From Date), SUM(B.ADD), SUM(B.LESS), B.Ending=(select B.Ending from Table B where A.Item ID = B.Item ID and Date = To Date) WHERE A.Item ID = B.Item ID and Date(B.Date)>From Date AND Date(B.Date)< To Date group by B.Item ID order by A.Item Name, Item Desc"
My query returns the right Item Name, Desc, the Sum of Add and Less.My problem is that I can't get the value of my beginning and ending.I think I have a problem in A.Item ID = B.Item ID. As I tried a fixed value condition, (B.Item ID = 2), it will get the right result), I'm guessing the program is not getting A.Item ID.
Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));

Hello,
I use the full-text search utility in SQL Server 2005 to find word in PDFs document.
This is my 'Documents' table:
id (PK), data (VarBinary(max)), extension (nvarchar(4))
My full-text catalog on 'data' column works fine because when I search 'Microsoft', my document containing this word is returned as result.
SELECT * FROM Documents WHERE freetext([data], 'Microsoft');
1 , 0x255044...., .pdf
But I need to know how many times 'Microsoft' word appears in this document.
Do you have any idea how can I retrieve this information?

Here is a CTE query
With mstrTable(ItemNo, Sales)
as (
Query1
Union All
Query2
)
Select Row_Number () Over(Partition by ItemNo order by ItemNo)as RowNo, ItemNo, Sales
From mstrTable
order by ItemNo
The results from Query1 and Query2 overlap sometimes.
The result set looks like:
1 Item1 10000
2 Item1 10000
1 Item2 20000
1 Item3 30000
I only want the first occurrence of each item. The desired result set is:
1 Item1 10000
1 Item2 20000
1 Item3 30000
I am not able to add a "Where RowNo = 1" to the query. SQL returns an "invalid field name".How would I obtain a record set that returns just the first occurrence of the ItemNo field?
I need to query the count of an occurrence in a given period of time, so I created this query. But it does not give me any results.
SELECT TOP 1000
o.[ID]
,o.[TimeOfOrder]
,x.[StreeLine1]
FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o
FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x
ON o.ID= x.id
WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48
GROUP BY x.[StreeLine1], o.ID, o.TimeOfOrder
HAVING COUNT(x.[StreeLine1])>1
Then I change the query slightly and I ask it to show me the ones that are going to '599 Ships Landing Way' and it gives me 356 results! The Query doesn't crash, but it doesn't give me the results I need. What did I do incorrectly?
SELECT TOP 1000
o.[ID]
,o.[TimeOfOrder]
,x.[StreeLine1]
FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o
FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x
ON o.ID= x.id
WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48
AND x.[StreeLine1]='599 Ships Landing Way'
I use Microsoft SQL 2008
