I'm trying to remove the special character ÿ from a varchar
select replace(my_col,'ÿ',' ')
this works, but the problem is that it also seems to replace the 'normal' y
(Database is case sensitive)
Why is that?
I have an database that is housing a path used to locate an external file. This application was written many years ago and I am now trying to bring the files into the database as a VARBINARY.
The table is holding the path like this "/folder/folder/file"
I am trying to convert that path to "folderfolderfile"
In my Select statement I have
SELECT ProdID, REPLACE (PATH, /, ) FROM dbo.blahblah
The problem is that I can't figure out to make SQL understand that "/" is the character I want to replace.
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.
Hi,
i have the following problem:
I like to extract all special characters in one table with many fields.
How can I handle this without using 'replace' for each field and many characters ?
Thx. for ur suggestions.

Hi,
I am using MSSQL 2005 with the compatability mode set to 2000.Now, one of my String columns in a table has data in the following format:
ABC[123][XYZ]
Now issuing the following SELECT query in the table does not work :
Select * from TAB1 where col1 like 'ABC[%'
ie, no row gets selected.However, the following query works:
Select * from TAB1 where col1 like 'ABC%'
Looks like '[' is a special character :( Now, how do i work around this so that i can select strings starting with "ABC[".Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,SQL env: sql server 2000Target column of insertion: varchar(15)Case, a var is made up of a character of the following characters(random selection):A,B,C,D,E,$,!,%,^,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U, V,W,X,Y,Z,&,*,(,)and a few numbers (random selection), and thenvar = ran1&ran2I'm experiencing intermit sql errorIs it because I did not include the string with quotes likevar = "ran1 & ran2"or the first random seletion may include special character and thatmay cause insertion error randomly?Probably the former is more likely. And I've added quotes for thevar (programming language shouldn't really matter, int type usuallywithout quotes while strings need quotes).What's your thought?Thanks.

I am trying to update a colunm with the value (Dynamically).
'UPDATE ' + @TABLE + ' SET '+ @FIELD + ' = '''+ @VALUE +'''
well It works fine until @Value contains quotation for instance @value = O'hare Airport
results in termination of the statement because of single quote after O in O'Hare. Is there any way I can see it works
Also suppose if its updating a field which can be say 10 charcters long and when @value has say 15 characters, it terminates. Is there anyway i can avoid this.
I would like to know how can i only get the characters before the special character?
For example if the mail id is The.Champ123@gmail.com i need to extract The.Champ123 and if the mail id is TheChamp@gmail.com I need to get TheChamp.So basically i would like to get the characters from the string before '@' character.
I want to replace special characters and space except '-' Tried with Pathindex and function but not getting expected results.
Ex: Input kjkdjfdf-234#kei$ ewiw
output:Â kjkdjfdf-234keiewiw
I am creating a view to pull data for a UPS integration I am doing. I currently have this view where I pull my data from. All is well accept for my PATINDEX,
Currently I have this PATINDEX So when a user puts this into delivery instructions "#999999" UPS_FINAL returns 999999 which is good for me to use. But The PATINDEX will also grab all kinds of neat stuff out of the delivery instructions field when I really only want whatever is after the # sign in the field.
I am new to sql and dont quite understand how this search is working but I think I am in need of a better way to search the field

I had to import some FileMaker Data into SQL Server 2005 and in the resume field a "SQUARE" special character is appearing everyplace that a return should be.
It has really messed up the formatting. I know how to use the updatetext in a cursor to replace the special character but I don't know what to replace the "SQUARE" special character with so the text is displaying a new line rather then this "SQUARE" character.
Any help would be appreicated.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a gazillion text files, each with dozens of records. The fields are pipe-delimited, the end of each record is marked by ASCII char code 28.
example:

The " " is the Chr(28). The line above should parse into 2 rows...

An interesting discovery - if I paste that " " directly into the row delimiter box, without quotes or brackets, I get two records!
So I found at least one answer.
Is there another?

Hi,
I would like to know how to import in the custom delimited text file by using SSIS.
For example, instead by using tab or comma delimited, I use this character : '¶'
The reason is the delimited format that SSIS provided is too common such as colon, semi colon, tab, comma and pipeline.
I have the data that the user also key in the pipeline there. So I am thinking to separate the field by using this special character, but cannot see if there is anyway to import in by using SSIS.
Please help to share the solution on this :

Hi,
in SSIS I read data from a DB2 database on AS400 using the Client Access ODBC Driver for DB2 from IBM and write it to a SQL Server database. Since it does not work using the odbc driver as data source directly, I use a data reader component with .net providersodbc.
Some special characters were not translated correctly when read from DB2. They show up as ? in the SQL Server target table.
I tried to change the client locale in the ODBC connection properties but it did not help me. I tried changing all other settings in odbc but it still does not work.
In dts I could source all the data without this problems and good speed using the same nodbc driver.
The OLEDB Providers delivered with SSIS do not work in SSIS or I am too stupid to configure them correctly. They are even too slow as I explained above.
I cannot use the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2, because it works only in Enterprize Edition and we only have the Standard Edition.
Thus, only using Client Access ODBC Driver for DB2 with net providersodbc (as bridge) is performant enough and works on Itanium. But how to work around the problem with the special characters?
Best regards,
Stefoon
