Removing Spaces From A Text

Aug 31, 2006

Hi. In our database, we have a Social Security Number field. We've made application upgrades and we can no longer have the dashes ( - ) between the numbers. So, I ran this update on our database to remove all the dashes. it did remove all the dashes except it put spaces in its spot:

UPDATE DefendantCase SET SSN = REPLACE(SSN, '-','')

so, i tried this query and it does nothing.

UPDATE DefendantCase SET SSN = REPLACE(SSN, ' ','')

does anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

Need Help Removing String Data From Text

Apr 4, 2008

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to use an SQL Function to remove everything from the mess of characters below except 'Test.' Really, any message could be substituted, so it's not as easy to leave everything except the 'Test.' string.


{
tf1ansiansicpg1252deff0deflang1033{fonttbl{f0fnilfcharset0 MS Shell Dlg 2;}{f1fnil MS Shell Dlg 2;}}
{colortbl ;
ed0green0lue0;}
{*generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}viewkind4uc1pard x720cf1f0fs20 Test.f1par
}


It's RichText.

The fs20 could be fs24, fs25, etc. (any numbers). The end of the number would be the point to trim the beginning off.

The '' seems like it would be the point to start trimming the end off.


I've been experimenting with SUBSTRING together with CHARINDEX, but am just not getting even close to coming up with a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated


Thank you.

Removing Commas From Column - Now It's A Mile Long

Jun 24, 2007

Hello,

I recently used the REPLACE command, as described in a previous topic on this forum, to remove unwanted commas however I've now got a new problem, the column has become half a mile long. I was asked to raise a new topic and give examples, see below:

CAN ANYONE TELL ME:
1. Why is the column now bigger?
2. How can I redue the size of the column to it's origional size?

I have already attempted to use CONVERT, RTRIM and CAST around the replace command, all give an error.


Example query and result before REPLACE:
select ICMAFinInstName,CptyCode from tradedetails

ICMAFinInstName CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------

Example query and result using REPLACE:

select replace (ICMAFinInstName,',',' ')AS NoCommaInst,CptyCode from tradedetails

NoCommaInstrument CptyCode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------

(I see in the preview that this forum has removed the spaces between the titles, but the dashes (--) show the size of the columns

Thanks

JM

Removing White Spaces In A Varchar Column

Sep 15, 2005

I have a table . It has a nullable column called AccountNumber, whichis of varchar type. The AccountNumber is alpha-numeric. I want to takedata from this table and process it for my application. Before doingthat I would like to filter out duplicate AccountNumbers. I get most ofthe duplicates filtered out by using this query:select * from customerswhere AccountNumber NOT IN (select AccountNumber from customers whereAccountNumber <> '' group by AccountNumber having count(AccountNumber)[color=blue]> 1)[/color]But there are few duplicate entries where the actual AccountNumber issame, but there is a trailing space in first one, and hence thisduplicate records are not getting filtered out. e.g"abc123<white-space>" and "abc123" are considered two different entriesby above query.I ran a query like :update customers set AccountNumber = LTRIM(RTRIM(AccountNumber)But even after this query, the trailing space remains, and I am notable to filter out those entries.Am I missing anything here? Can somebody help me in making sure Ifilter out all duplicate entries ?Thanks,Rad

Hiding Or Removing Column Output From Select Statement

Feb 22, 2005

I'm executing the following...

select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1

the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.

I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"

would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?

this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

Removing Duplicate Delimited Values From A Single Column?

Jun 18, 2014

I have a stored procedure that returns a single row based on a parameter of employee ID. This particular procedure uses a CTE to traverse our org structure. One of the columns is returning a delimited string of Windows login values and due to the business rules, it can contain duplicate values. I need to have that column contain only unique values - no dupes.

For example, this one column could contain something like this:

domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser2;domainuser 3;

The need is to convert to this:

domainuser1;domainuser2;domainuser3;

I know that's a tall order.

SQL Server 2008 :: Removing 00-00-00 From Varchar Column In Table?

Jul 29, 2015

I've look at several different methods for removing leading zero's from a column but I need to remove trailing data from a VARCHAR column. For some reason, the old database saved the time along side the date in my client's app.

For example:

The old database format "2015-07-28 00:00:00"

I need the data in this column in the new database to only be the date "2015-07-28", there are alot of rows with this issue.

Is there a query I can run to remove the 00-00-00 from all of the rows? Some of the fields actually have a time in there like this: 2015-07-28 12:15:35, with this one, I don't think it's going to be easy but if I could at least remove the 00-00-00 from all the rows that have it, that would be a good start.
