That is only part of a large query that writs a SQL Query to a column in a Database. That Query (in the column) is just ran normally so I don't need to compile it each time I want to run it.
THe problem I have is @FieldName might be: ryan's field.
That apostrophe is killing me because the SQL keeps it as ryan's field, not ryan''s field(note the 2 apostrophes). I cannot do: REPLACE(@FieldName, ''', '''') because it's not closing the apostrophes. Is there an escape character that I can use to say only one: ' ?
I tried:
DECLARE @t VARCHAR(500)
SET @t = (SELECT [Name] FROM [Form].[Fields] WHERE FieldID = 1)
print @t -- @t will print: Ryan's Field
PRINT QUOTENAME('' + @t + '', '''')
but that gives me: 'Ryan''s Field'
Any help would rock. If I make any changes to the way this field is input into the DataBase, I know I will need to do a lot of re-work in many spots. WHich is why i'm trying to solve this on the SQL side.
I have text data files from a third party and they use comma as field delimiters and enclose the text for each column in double-quotes. Not a problem for most of the data files until they start sending files where there is " within the column values. SSIS package fails with the error:
The column delimiter for column "Column 1" was not found.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.Thankspcp
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.

Folks,
How can I program BCP to output text items in double quotes (")?
Here is an example (please try it) that trys to output some columns from a table to csv file. However, due to the existence of commas within the fields, the comma separation gets messed up.
------------------------------------
USE [MASTER]
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'mcg1')
DROP TABLE mcg1
go
CREATE TABLE mcg1
(pkINT IDENTITY(1,1)
,Address_1VARCHAR(100)
,CityVARCHAR(100))
go
INSERT INTO mcg1 (Address_1, City) VALUES ('100 Road1, Suburb1' , 'BigCity1')
INSERT INTO mcg1 (Address_1, City) VALUES ('200 Road2, Suburb2' , 'BigCity2')
SELECT * FROM mcg1
Exec Master..xp_Cmdshell 'bcp "SELECT Address_1, City FROM mcg1" queryout "C:mcg1.csv" -c -t,"'
------------------------------------
The output I get is below. You can see how the use of commas in the text makes the comma separate list all confused
100 Road1, Suburb1,BigCity1
200 Road2, Suburb2,BigCity2
Thus what I want is
"100 Road1, Suburb1","BigCity1"
"200 Road2, Suburb2","BigCity2"
You can do this OK in DTS by specifying the text identifier to be double-quotes.
I do NOT want to use DTS and want to be able to do via a T-SQL procedure. Note that the real table I will export from has numeric datatypes and I would prefer NOT to wrap them in double-quotes too.
Thus, how can I alter the Exec Master..xp_Cmdshell command, to wrap each text field in double quotes. I may have to use a format file in which case please provide the format file too.
Thanks in advance

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi. I am currently building a blog application, and I need some advice... I have the post title, post date, post by, etc stored in a database table, however I was wondering whether I should store the actual post content in the database as well or in a text file. For example, if the posts get really long would it slow down database performance or would there not be much of a difference? Furthermore, if I wanted to keep the posts private, a text file would not be ideal as it can be accessed easily by surfers... What do you recommend?Thanks a lot

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am performing a series of calculations where accuracy is very important, so have a quick question about single vs double precision variables in SQL 2008.
I'm assuming that there is an easy way to cast a variable that is currently stored as a FLOAT as a DOUBLE prior to these calculations for reduced rounding errors, but I can't seem to find it.
I've tried CAST and CONVERT, but get errors when I try to convert to DOUBLE.
For example...
SELECT CAST(1.0/7.0 AS FLOAT)
SELECT CONVERT(FLOAT, 1.0/7.0)
both give the same 6 decimal place approximation, and the 6 decimals make me think this is single precision.
But I get errors if I try to change the word FLOAT to DOUBLE in either one of those commands...
SELECT CAST(1.0/7.0 AS DOUBLE)
gives "Incorrect syntax near )"
SELECT CONVERT(DOUBLE, 1.0/7.0)
gives "Incorrect syntax near ,"
Every night we connect to a remote server using Linked Server and copy details from that database to a loading table, then load it into the 'real' table in our own environment. The remove database we load it from has indexes/primary keys that match the 'real', however the 'loading' table itself does not have any indexes or primary keys, both are SQL Server 2005 machines.
In the loading table we first of all truncate it then do a select insert statement from the remote server, then we then truncate the 'real' table and load iit from the 'loading' table.
The issue is when we attempted to load it into our 'real' table from our loading table there was a duplicate row, and our process failed with a Primary Key violation.
I checked the source with does have the same primary key's in, it did not contain a duplicate row and I checked the loading table and that did contain a duplicate row.
My question this is in what circumstances this could happen ?

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 have to query n table(NLRImports) using the Distinct keyword, to retrieve a set of ID numbers. ( "Select DISTINCT id_nbr from NLRImport" ).
Now i want to use those values i retrieved, to process the records in the table(NLRImports) 1 by 1. How do i use those ID no's i retrieved as Variables or parameters for my next query?? If this makes sense?
----------------------------------------------------------------
First, thanks for the response.... now here is what im trying to do.
I created a simple application in delphi to import information to a table in MSSql2005. This is some of the resulting columns...
date | id_nbr | account_nbr | sub_account_nbr | ... etc
-------------------------------------------------------------
Now there will be several entries with the same id no but on different dates, so i take it dates would rather be my pkey.
Then i need to take one person's entries(i work on id_nbr) and go thru all the entries taking the earliest date and comparing all the other entries for that person to the first date and select all the dates more than 19 days after the first date and less than 91 days from first date and place it in a new table.
I used cursor s and while loops to kind of get it going but i know that cursors are not really recommended use but the performance implications dont bother with this particular job.
What other ways should i be using to accomplish this?
thanks, i hope this is clear...

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.

Alright so here is what I am trying to do.
I have a form that someone fills out it has a text box as title, and a drop down box that is a category, and then a text area that is for their explanation.
On the back end I am using a stored procedure called sp_store_bkm. When I execute this it works just fine and puts the data that I put in it into the to table below is the Stored procedure code:
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_store_bkm @oID nvarchar OUTPUT, @oTitle nvarchar(50), @oCategory nvarchar(50), @obkmtext nvarchar(MAX)
AS BEGIN INSERT INTO tbl_bkms(Title, Category, bkmtext) VALUES(@oTitle, @oCategory, @obkmtext)Set @oID= SCOPE_IDENTITY() END

View 1 Replies View RelatedGreetings friends:
I am a student at DePaul University in Chicago, IL. We have a big db project tomorrow and I'm proud with the work I've done so far, I've designed my own db and tested it using queries and such. Pretty good for being introduced to SQL just a couple short months ago. Anyway, I've sort of run into a wall here. I need to have an attribute of a table be computed from others.
I'm working with 2005 Server Management Studio and I have found the computed column specification under the column properties tab. I know that I have to enter a formula, but I'm just not sure on what to do. I have a CHG_HOUR attribute in a table called "EXPERTISE" which signifies how much a consultant charges per hour, based on what he exactly does. I also have a JOB_HOURS attribute in a JOB table (that links my CONTRACT table to CONSULTANT). I want to basically give a formula that multiplies the CHG_HOUR from the EXPERTISE table by the JOB_HOURS in the JOB table. Any suggestions on how I might do this?
Thank you in advance for your response, and hopefully with more practice and courses, I can be the one helping people like me on these boards in a few years.
