how do i write a replace function that will replace a certain character with a return key (ie what happens when we do Ctrl+return key in SQL Enterprise table... so that the rest of the cell data in the column is on the next line?!
SELECT REPLACE(tasks, '/', '????') AS EXPR1
FROM log_descriptions
what should ???? be?
Running into a problem with trying to pull multiple values in a stored procedure.
Ran Profiler for trace on what variable is coming back as when running in Reporting Services.
Profiler shows this:
exec apGetCompanysByRep @Product = N'Absorbent Pads,Airedale Terrier'
Trying to run Replace function but not quite getting the syntaxt correct. The stored procedure will work but when running report will often get unclosed quotation marks.
What I have:
Set @Product=
Replace(@Product, '''' + ',' + @product + '''', (@Product + '''' + ',' + ' ' + '''' + @product + ''''))
This is probably a little too much coding but I've tried several ways.
In the SP the code is as follows:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[apGetCompanysByRep]
@Magazine varchar(6) = null
, @DirectsMagazine varchar(6) = null
, @Category varchar(50) = null
, @SubCategory varchar(50) = null
--, @FirstName varchar(30)
, @LastName varchar(30)= null
, @Product varchar(1100)
AS
declare @SQL varchar(2000)
Set @Product=Replace(@Product, '''' + ',' + @product + '''', (@Product + '''' + ',' + ' ' + '''' + @product + ''''))
set @SQL = '
Thanks for any assistance anyone can give.

Hi,
I'm using the function bcp to transfer data from my table to a data file. When I use it at the dos command prompt, no problem everything works really well.
But if I use query analyser I have an error: unable to open bcp host data-file.
Here's the line:
xp_cmdshell 'bcp table.owner.inventaire out c:1est.txt'
The problem is not with xp_cmdshell because I can call simpler executables in query analyser.
Hi All:
We have a database date column in this format: 1/27/2008 1:20:00 AM and need a date or time function to cast local JVM time into the above format.
Suggest me the best options.
1. To go for a more comfortable date format in the database itself or
2. To have an appropriate conversion in my code.( I am not feeling good about the suffix AM/PM in the date column!)
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I have wriiten a query that works great in sql server but MS Access does not support EXCEPT. I have to rewrite this query using 'IN' or 'NOT IN' but can not figure it out because it must be compared on all fields. I'm sure this will require multiple subqueries because 'IN' must return only one field but I can not rap my brain around it. Could someone please help with this? Here is the 'EXCEPT' query I know works.

To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.

Hi,
I have a table with a field called productname, and it has about 5000 rows, and within that about 1000 have a productname that has 'NIB' in the name, ie "My Product NIB DVD" and I have been asked to replace 'NIB' with 'New' ie "My Product New DVD" Can I do this in SQL using an Update statement? Or do I have build something in maybe asp.net to use a replace function to change the name.
Thanks

Does anybody know how to search through all stored procedures (in SQL Server 2000) and find and replace text without having to open each one individually in Query Analyzer and doing so one at a time?
That would be so time consuming. I want to be able to change my table names, but I have so many stored procedures allready using the old names. To go and find each name and replacing them is a task I don't want to even try and do.
Thank you to whomever can help.

I am using MSDE. In this I have a field that contains a desciption. Prior to saving to the db, I replace all vbcrlf's to <br />'s. That works fine when displaying in HTML, but when I display it in a datagrid, I want to replace the <br />'s with vbcrlf's.
I thought I might be able to do it with a replace function in my SQL query, something like "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description". This produces an error that vbcrlf is not a fieldname. So I tried "select replace(Description, '<br />', 'xxx') as Description", and while this did not create an error, neither was the text replaced.
Am I not using the replace function correctly? Is there another way in which I might accomplish the task?
Dim ConnectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database=dbname"
Dim CommandText As String
'Command text is greatly abreviated for this discussion.
CommandText = "Select ID, replace(Description, '<br />', vbcrlf) as Description"

I have a need to evaluate a parameter to use like keywords. (Not my server, so indexing is not available.)

If I run the second statement, I get no rows. Anybody help me out with the syntax? I've tried so many variations, I'm lost. Many thanks.
