I have followed many tutorials on selecting and replacing text in text fields, varchar fields and char fields, but I have yet to find a single script that will to all 3 based on field type. Let's assume for a moment that I don't know where all in my database a certain value that I need changed resides ... i.e., the data's tablename and fieldname. How would I go about doing the following ... or more importantly, is this even possible in a SQL only procedure?1) Loop over entire database and get all user tables2) Loop over all user tables and get all fields3) Loop over all fields and determine the field type4) switch between field types and change a string of text from 'a' to 'b'Please be gentle, I'm a procedure newb.

I have a text field that contains multiple words. Is there a way with SQL to relace a single word with another?
for example:
FIELD : CompanyName
DATA : Microsoft Corp.
DATA : IBM Corp.
etc...
DATA : Canon Corp. of America
How can I run a routine to just REPLACE "Corp." with "Corporation" ?
Thanks for your help!

I’ve created a script which will do the following.
Update fields in a database which contain instances of an order number. An order number is defined as a 10 digit numeric sting which beings with 998. The first 3 digits of the order number need to change from 998 to 999. There are two types of fields to update: document number fields which may contain 1 instance of the order number and free text fields which may contain multiple instances of an order number.
I created a function which accepts the text to be updated, the text to find and the text to replace it with. The function then loops through the sting for instances of 998. For each instance it finds it checks to ensure that it is at the start of a 10 digit string which contains only numeric numbers – if this is the case then it will update the 998 to be 999.
If the field is free text then it will continue to loop through the string (it will skip forward 10 digits for every order number found) until the end. If the field is not free text then it will exit the script after the first instance found which matches the above criteria, if any.
Need achieving this via set processing and not having to loop through every line. I’ve included the function below and some test data.
--Create the function we will call in order to do the replace
if object_id(N'OrderReplace',N'FN') is not null
drop function dbo.OrderReplace;
go
create function dbo.OrderReplace (
@Textnvarchar(4000),

I am working with a database named €œDocuments€? that contains 4 categories of text documents, each having its own number designation in an integer datatype column named SectionTypeId:
1 = Text
2 = Report
3 = Background
4 = Index
I would like to create a new column named €œDocType€? in which the integer data type for each document is replaced with a varchar data type letter (1 = T, 2 = R, 3 = B, 4 = I). I was able to easily create the new column and cast the data type from integer to varchar:
--CREATE NEW COLUMN €œDocType€? WITH VARCHAR DATATYPE
ALTER TABLE FullDocuments ADD DocType VARCHAR(1) NULL
Go
--UPDATE NEW COLUMN WITH CAST STRING
UPDATE FullDocuments SET DocType = CAST(SectionTypeID AS VARCHAR(1))
Go
But I have problems with the REPLACE method for replacing the numbers with letters. First I tried this based on the examples in MSDN Library:
--REPLACE NUMBERS WITH LETTERS
UPDATE Fulldocuments REPLACE (DocType,"1","T")
Which produced an error message: €œIncorrect syntax near 'REPLACE'.€?
Thinking that the datatype may be the problem, I tried this to convert to DT_WSTR data type prior to replace:
UPDATE Fulldocuments REPLACE ((DT_WSTR,1)DocType,"1","T")
Which produced the same error message: €œIncorrect syntax near 'REPLACE'.€?
I have never done a REPLACE before, so any suggestions for accomplishing this would be appreciated.

I know that I should be using PATINDEX and REPLACE functions but I don't know how to utilise.
I've got an nvarchar(max) column that I need to transform with some simple text processing: insert some markup at the very beginning, and insert some markup just before a particular regular expression is matched (or at the end, if no match is found).
Since the SSIS expression language doesn't support anything like this, is a Script Component the only way to go? Does Visual Basic .NET provide regular expression matching?

Hi,

We have a legacy database that have hundreds of stored procedures.
The previous programmar uses a string like servername.databasename.dbo.tablename in the stored procedures.
We now have migrated the database to a new server. The old server is either needed to be replaced by the new server name, or remove it.
I don't know why he used servername as part of the fully qualified name, we don't use linked servers. So I think better removing the servername in all the stored procedures.
I know I can do a generate script, and replace the text and then use alter procedure to recreate all the stored procedures. But since hundreds of them, is there a programmatically way to replace them?
Hi -
I've never used SQL for anything but simple copies and queries, and now I need to do something that's probably simple, as well, but I don't know how to start. I need to update values in a text field with new values from another table. I can do it individually with an update statement (Set [field1] = 'newvalue' where [field1] = 'oldvalue'). But I have 400 different values and a bunch of different tables that need to be updated, and can't imagine that's the only solution. I can make up a simple table that will have all the old values in one column, and the new values in the next. I need a statement that look at the old value, then fetch the new value from the table I made, and replace the old value with the new.
I've looked at various help files and tried to search for a solution elsewhere, but I'm not coming up with anything. I guess I just don't know where to look. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Once it finds the text, I would like for it to simply remove it, and look for the next occurance of the phrase and repeat the process until all are flagged and removed. I was told their may be a line of sql code that employs such a feature. Can anyone tell me what such a line would be?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi there,
A simple question I hope. I have got a textbox on a report and I'm trying to populate it by calling a custom assembly. I know I can reference it directly in the textbox (this works) but I am trying to do this from the code block. The following code didn't work:
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
ReportItems!textbox2.Value = POCCustomAssembly.CustAssembly.Hello()
End Sub
The TextBox is called textbox2 and the custom assembly simply returns a string.
I get an error message "The is an error on line 1 of custom code: [BC30469] Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference".
What am I doing wrong?

I found this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2562259&SiteID=1

Hi,
I have tried to extract data from Pervasive SQL into MS SQL Server using DTS. Due to the server has been set as Chinese language region, the MS SQL is also set as 'Chines_PRC_CI_AS' by default. After the successful extraction and transfer, I have exported the data out to Excel format. Due to different location, I have copy and transfer the data into another reporting server which is having MS SQL 2005.
When trying to import the data into the server, it prompted an error '[Data Conversion 1 [168]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "DESC" (166) to column "Copy of DESC" (187). The conversion returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". '. After checking and finding, I found it was due to the chinese characters that are contained inside the data files.
I have tried to change the collation setting inside MS SQL 2005 with the same setting as the MS SQL 2000, but it still not working. Please help and advice.
Thank you and cheers.
Best regards,

I'm trying to make a reusable header function. In it, there is the report name and a couple other bits of info. The problem is making RS use the real report name
If I return "Globals!ReportName" in an assembly function, then call that function, I get that exact text - but what I really want is the report name. I understand what it's doing, but how to I trick it:
Is there some way to make RS aware of the fact that this is meant to be seen as something it needs to evaluate rather than just displaying the actual text?
Code page translations are not supported for the text data type. From:1252 To: 950.I would like to know what this message means. I also installed thelanguage packs in advanced settings, Everything is set to English. Mywindows XP computer is XP English. For some reason I cant get an updateto go thru using ADO. like Recordset.UpdateAlthough other routines using .update workAny ideas?
