I have the following sql statement:
SELECT FTE_CLASS_GROUP_NBR_DSCR
FROM dbo.DLIST_FTE_CLASS_GROUP
WHERE FTE_GRP_ID IS NOT NULL
This is an example of the result returned:
9999/00 Some lenghty text is displayed after the numbers
I want to trim everything after 9999/00
Is there a way to use rtrim to remove the characters after the numbers or another method?
Thanks,

I'm encountering a strange problem in all the applications I'm working on and am totally dumbfounded as to why it's occuring:From a standard web form I'm inserting a record using a stored procedure. (I'm writing this to a SQL 2000 db - where the column types and variables are all consistant) No matter what I do, the columns are padded with extra characters maxing out the field length (if it's nchar or nvarchar or char) after insert or update. I've tried Trim - ing the field.text values that I'm feeding to the @variables used in my stored procedure. I've even RTRIM() - ed the @variables within the stored procedure. No matter what I do I get extra spaces padding the end of the intended column input. Ideas anyone???Thanks in advance. - Abe
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using the following command:
osql -E -n -d testdb -i testquery.qry -o "c:Scriptsoutput.txt" -h-1 -w 500 -s ","
With the following query (testquery.qry):
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT table1.column5, table2.column9
FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.column4 = table2.column4
AND table1.column1 != "NULL"
ORDER BY table1.column5
All of the columns are cast as char up to 50 characters.
Even if only a field has a few characters, I get a lot of extra white space in my output. I want to get rid of those trailing spaces. I've tried SET ANSI_PADDING OFF, RTRIM(), and CAST(x AS VARCHAR(y)). I still get the same output. What am I doing wrong, what am I missing?
Here's a tricky SQL question that has definitely driven me to the end ofmy rope. I'm using Oracle 9i and I need to perform some simplemultiplication on a field and then display it with a percent sign usingthe COLUMN command. Here's the code thus far:COLUMN price format 9,999.99 HEADING 'Charged%'SELECT pricecharged * .231 as priceFROM VT_examdetailThe output from this reads:Charged%---------23.1034.6534.65....The kicker here is that I need to add a percent sign to the right of theoutput, so that it reads:Charged%---------23.10%34.65%34.65%....I thought I could do this by just adding "|| ('%')" into the SELECTstatement, but when I do this the decimal position defined in the COLUMNcommand is lost. Does anyone know another way around this?Thanks,Alex

Hi all,
I have a stored procedure that generates the following SQL WHERE clause
UserName LIKE 'Adi234%' AND Fname LIKE 'David%' AND LName LIKE 'Justin%' AND
It is good except that it i can not remove the last AND which is not neccessary at the end of the clause.
I want to remove the last AND that come up at the end, my code places AND after each data field(UserName, Fname, Lname) .
Thanks
There are unwanted characters(''','/','&'.. etc) in column.
I need to remove these characters
I have data with invalid character in my source table. I'd like to remove the replace/remove the invalid characters. What function should i use?

I'd like to get only

Hi
I have a table with a few hundred emailadresses. How can I delete all quotes (') from the addresses, so that 'email@email.com' is replaced as email@email.com.
Thank you

I have built a SSIS package that reads in data from a SQL Server 2005 source database into a flat file destination. The Row Delimiter is {CR}{LF}. The Column Delimiter is Tab {t}.
The data being read from the SQL Server database contains both {CR}{LF} and Tab {t} characters in various fields on several rows.
How can I process the input data from the SQL Server to remove these characters before passing it to the destination output file?
Sorry if this is obvious to all, but I am only just starting with SSIS...
Many thanks
Adrian
best possible way to remove all the characters after a 3rd repetition of a character?
For Example:
I want 10.0.1600.22 to be 10.0.1600
Everything after and including the '.' to be removed.
I understand Substring_Index() is not available whats the other options?
I am looking for a function or way to return only results which does not include appended characters to order numbers.
For instance, below is a list of order numbers. I only want the order number that is SO-123456
OrderNumbers
SO-123456
SO-123456-01
SO-123456-2
SO-123457

I would like my query to only show the below results

What functions or query methods could achieve this?
I was hoping for something similar to RTRIM but that is only specific to white space.
I want to remove special characters from a string in sql like <?> in a column value in a table.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table that is riddled with weird characters. So far I have found an escape character for PDF files and a trademark sign. These characters are crashing my SSIS packages. I am able to remove these characters with an update script...
Update TABLE

Update TABLE

This works fine, but my question is...
I would like to write a script that removes all foreign characters with the exception of the normal characters like (@,#,$,%,etc). I need a dynamic process that handles this so I am not losing time sifting through over 20,000 rows of data and changing my update script to remove a specific column. Although this method works, I would prefer a dynamic query. I intend to wrap this in a stored procedure that loops through all columns in a table (as parameter).

I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'
Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN***
Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire
Example Record 3. Stockport
How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?
The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0
THEN LEN(Address )
ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0
THEN LEN(Address)
ELSE CHARINDEX('*' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test2'
I'm presented with a problem where I have a database table which must be migrated via a "custom tool", moving the data into a new table which has special character requirements that didn't exist in the source database. My data resides in an SQL Server 2008R2 instance.
I envision a one-time query which will loop through selected records and replace the offending characters with --, however I'm having trouble understanding how this works.
There are roughly 2500 records which meet the criteria of "contains bad characters", frequently containing multiple separate bad chars, and the table contains roughly 100000 rows.
Special Characters are defined as #%&*:<>?/{}|~ and ..
While the field is called "Filename" it isn't always so, it is a parent/child table where foldernames are also stored.
Example data:
Tablename = Items
ItemID Filename ListID
1 Badfile<2015>.docx 15
2 Goodfile.docx 15
3 MoreBad#.docx 15
4 Dog&Cat#17.pdf 15
5 John's "Special" Folder 16
The examples I'm finding are all oriented around SELECT statements, to change the output of what I see returned, however I'd rather just fix the entire column using an UPDATE. Initial testing using REPLACE fails because I don't always have a single character as the bad thing in a string.
In a better solution, I found an example using a User Defined Function to modify the output of a select, but I cannot use that UDF in an UPDATE.
My alternative is to learn enough C# to modify the "migration tool" to do this in-transit, but I know even less about C# than I do of SQL.
I gather I want to use @@ROWCOUNT to loop through the rows but I really can't put it all together in a cohesive way.
In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message.
How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Thanks

I have uninstalled the CTP version of the SQL Server express so that I can install the released version but CTP version is still listed in the add/remove program list but without the change/remove button. I have been to different sites to find information on cleaning this up and I have ran all the uninstall tool I can find but the problem still prevails. I cannot install the released version without completely getting rid of the CTP version. Please help anyone.

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?

Hi,
I used excel to import data to my database, I found out a problem, my program is linked with the database, when the program show data from the database, it has an extra '@' symbol, In order to remove it, I need to go to the database to press space bar and backspace at the field. How could I use SQL instead of using space bar and backspace?
Thanks

Here is the basic sql I am trying to implement:
select classid, count(*) as [COUNT], dtmready from unit
where rmpropid = '123' and classid = 'A1'
group by rmpropid, classid, dtmready
order by dtmready;
Here is my result set:
A1 3 2006-07-01 00:00:00.000
A1 10 2006-08-15 00:00:00.000
A1 11 2006-09-15 00:00:00.000
A1 10 2006-10-15 00:00:00.000
A1 10 2006-11-01 00:00:00.000
A1 10 2006-11-30 00:00:00.000
If you notice, the earliest dtmready is 7/1/2006. What I need is to return an additional row when the earliest dtmready is after today. The desired row would be:
A1 0 (today's date)
Background: I am running SQL Server 2000 SP4 and the results of the query are returned to a java program at a level where I do not have the ability to create a new row. So, it would be ideal if I could create the sql that returns a row with a dtmready of today with a count of 0.
I have a strange SQL statement
Select * from TableName WH
Basicly I have a code that creates a Dynamic SQL statement
in this case I thought that I will get an error on the above statement but infact I did not
I tested it on the Enterprise Manager
and it works fine
I changed the WH to WHER it works as long as its not a reserved word
so if I put my name or what ever after that sql it still works
unless I use two words with a space between them it will give an error
on the second one not the first
Can anyone tell me why is that
I do not know if its a feature or what
Thank you in advance.
