Replacing Values
Nov 18, 2005
Hi i have 2 cols
col1 col2
A1 21
A2 22
A3 21
A4 23
I want to create a report such that i should see all values of col1 but in col2 i want to show only value of 21 and the remaining should be zero.
So basically all the other values except 21 should be zero in the report but should not be updated in the database.
So the report should look like
col1 col2
A1 21
A2 0
A3 21
A4 0
can you please tell me how to do that
Thanks

I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.

Hi, I have the following query.
sql = "select firstname AS Expr1, lastname AS Expr2, status AS Expr3 from person order by lastname"
Status is either 0,1,2 or 3
How can I use the query to create "a temp Alias" for the query, so that there is a "temp Alias" AS Expr4, AS Expr5, AS Expr6 and AS Expr7.
So if status = 0 then Expr4 = "true" else false
So if status = 1 then Expr5 = "true" else false
So if status = 2 then Expr6 = "true" else false
So if status = 3 then Expr7 = "true" else false
So when the reader reads Expr4 its either true or false.
Is this possible i a query?

I am trying to replace field values in SSIS. For exapmle, I have 'unkown' and 'N/A', and a few other values that mean the same thing, and I want to give all these fields the same value. I have not been able to find a tool in the toolbox to make this type of change. Is there one? And, if there is, do you know a link to a page explaining its use?
The closest I have come is the Derived column String Transformation:Replace. But, I have not been able to get this to do what I want. If you know of a good reference explaining this tool's use I'd appreciate it.
thanks much,
b2

Any help appreciated

Hi all,
I have run into a problem that I am stuck on. I have 3 tables lets call them a,b, and c. What I want to do is left outer join a with b on a common value, then replace any null values in this result with a default value, and then left outer join table c on the previously joined table (on the columns that I just replaced certain values on).
please help!
Thanks

I have a field in a table that contains a different formula (varchar(1000)) for each record. It's along the lines of something like this, although each formula is different: ([ColumnA] - [ColumnB])/([ColumnC] - [ColumnD]). I plug that into a dynamic SQL statement so that it can get executed in a select statement.
Due to the variations of the formulas, checking for Divide by Zero, etc, we want to move this to a .NET method. We'd like to replace "ColumnA" and "ColumnB", etc., with the actual values so that we're passing something like (5-3)/(6-2). I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this without actually executing it. We don't want to pass the solution, but the equation filled with the actual values rather than the column names.

Hi,
Im having a couple of problems with SQL.
I have this query...
SELECT Band.Name, Member.Name
FROM Member
JOIN MemberOf ON Member.Mid = MemberOf.Mid
JOIN Band On MemberOf.Bid = Band.Bid
WHERE MemberOf.Instrument = 'keyboards';
which basically shows me the name of the bands who had keyboard players. I would like it to also display the names of the band who didnt have keyboard players, replacing the keyboard players name with "NULL".
so... my questions are :)
how do u get it to display the records that do not match the condition, and how do u get it to replace the keyboard players name with "NULL" when they do not match the condition.
PS. The three tables are
Band. Which has Bid as a primary key.
Member. Which has Mid as a primary key.
MemberOf. Which links these through its two foreign keys Mid and Bid.
Thanks for your help! (assuming someone does)

Hi,Is it possible to do from one script? We have a set of user's tables like"tbl%". We can get this list very easy using this script:SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'U' AND name LIKE 'tbl%' ORDER BYname;We need to change some column names if these names are in a special listthat we have. What can we do? Use FOR EACH ROW? Or what?So, I need to get a column list for each table and check if every columnname is equal to one of the names from the list and then if YES replace itby something or add some symbol to this name. Terrible or possible?Regards,Dmitri

Hi all,
We are trying to migrate a SQL Server 2005 database/schema onto SQL CE. The original SQL Server 2005 schema uses views. And VIEWs are not supported on SQL CE. What can we use as an alternative?
Here are the option I can think of:
Use Tables instead of views : We are currently using this approach. But the disadvantage is that data remains on the DB. We need to clean and reuse the table everytimeCan we use a DataSet or DataTable instead? Any sample code available?
Can we replace them by some in-memory data structure?

Hi,
I would like to replace all instances of a code that starts with 'GEM' with the word 'Perfect'', and all instances of the code that starts with 'GOLD' replaced with 'Imperfect'.
For example, if I have a table named STONES, and a field within the table STONES.Code contained codes such as 'GEMPART4000', 'GEMPART5000', 'GOLDSIDE2300' and 'GOLDSIDE3000', I want to return the first two codes as the words 'Perfect' for each and the last two codes with the word 'Imperfect' for each.
Similarly, how would it be written so I could select a middle part of the code to use as the trigger to replace the code with something different, e.g. if I wanted to use the 'PART' from the first two codes?
I have discovered that the REPLACE and CASE functions don't work with % (so I am looking for any code that starts with what I stipulate but can end with anything (or using it on either side of the middle part of the code)).
Any help would really be appreciated please.

Hi Guys,
I am faced with a problem that is giving me headaches. I have t1, t2 and t3. I t1 I have students that have a reference to t2 which are the schools they belong to. The problem arises when I see that there is redundancy in t2. There more records for the same schools. This was posible in giving the same school (postcode and name make it the same school) a different ID. In t3 I removed these redundant schools by using fuzzy grouping.
My problem is I want to ensure that the students are put using the schools from t3 instead of t2. So what I need to do is is to replace the redundant id from t2 with the correct id from t3.
Please help. Thans in advance

I am trying to clean up an ugly query that's based on trying to find items that exist in one table but not the other.
My tables are like this:
ITEMSitemID,itemName,itemDescriptionetc...
ORDERITEMSOrderLineID,OrderID,itemID
ORDERSOrderID,OrderCompleted
Currently my query looks something like this:
Select Items.* from ITEMS where not exists (select 1 from ORDERITEMS inner join ORDERS on ORDERITEMS.OrderID = ORDERS.OrderID where ORDERITEMS.itemID=ITEMS.itemID and (ORDERS.OrderCompleted=1))
So this query is looking for ITEMS what don't have a corresponding entry in the ORDERITEMS table. As I understand it this is pretty inefficient as it is going to be executing the sub query in the Not Exists statement for each entry in the ITEMS table. Is the preferred method to do something along the lines of somehow making the sub query into a derived table and doing a left or right join?
Thanks for reading!

I have a SQL table with 5000 rows in it. Some of the other SQL columns have different values but if I wanted to swap say 500 of the rows would it be something like
UPDATE Coupins
SET Name='test1,test2,test3'
WHERE Name='test4,test5,test6';
I need basically to swap the Name value of these without affecting any other values.

Hello. We have a list of 1000+ sku numbers. 90% of them start with u. I need to replace the u with T.
Concerns:
It has to only replace the first letter, if there are other "u"s in the sku, they need to remain.
Not all skus start with u, those that don't should remain the same.
I have searched and searched because I'm sure someone has requested the exact same thing but I can't find anything that is identical.
I have this so far but I know its not correct:
set sku = replace(left(sku,1),'u',right(rtrim(sku),1)+
'T')
Can someone help lead me down the right path?
Thanks in advance!!!
