Separating Text Into Separate Varchars
May 10, 2005
with varchars having a max of 8000 bytes and partly because of the coder before me, I'm stuck with using text. the text has a maximum of 30,000 characters, i've tried everything to try to separate the text into 4 different varchars to no avail.. none of the string functions (left, substring, right) works on a text field, and when i try to convert it to a varchar (i.e. convert(varchar(8000), @text)) it obviously only takes the first 8000 characters...
what can i do in this case? any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!

I have a flat text file with lots HTML tags and corresponding valuesÂ
For exampleÂ
<Near_Side> 5563 </Near_Side>
<Top_Down_Code> Xe345 <Top_Down_Code>Â
So, For example I can use the a functionÂ
ALTER function dbo.StripHTML( @text varchar(max) ) returns varchar(max) as
begin
  declare @textXML xml
  declare @result varchar(max)
  set @textXML = REPLACE( @text, '&', '' );
[Code] ...
To which Select dbo.StripHTML('<Near_Side> 5563 </Near_Side>')  ValueÂ
I'll get 5563
However how would you get the values within the tag itself ? E.g.Â
Value NameÂ
5563 Near_side
Xe345 Â Â Â Top_Down_Code
I was thinking along the Charindex but cant seem to get it right.

I am having a small problem.
When I generate a report with a large amount of text data (Paragraphs) the report will not split the text between two pages.
It will move the entire text box to the next page leaving a large amount of space on the previous page.
I tried every control on the page to render this. I tried textboxes, tables, lists, rectangles, subreports, etc..
The data is stored in a SQL table using a text data type (there can be a large amount of data entered into these database.
Any help on this would be great. I like reporting services, but there are just a few bugs.
I am using Reporting Services 2000 with Service Pack 2 and Hotfix
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=912424 (That fixed a different PDF rendering issue) and this problem was occuring prior to this hotfix.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I am a little weak at SQL, so bear with me.
Can anyone give me an SP which uses "Between" to Display all Dates
BETWEEN a fromDate and toDate???
Two conditions
1.Both Dates are stored as varchar.
2. I should be able to get the dates even if years are different, say between 20th December 2006 and 3rd January 2007
3.Is there a way to extract the yearDiff?
Regards,
Naveen

A common request for enhancement to applications is to "make thisfield bigger". I know I've been caught with increasing a field size,and then spending hours debugging because another stored proc has avariable or temp table that uses the field defined as the originalvarchar size. SQL Server just truncates to fit the data into thesmaller varchar, and so there are no errors raised.An option suggested by a colleague is to no longer use varchars, butuse User Defined Types instead. To make this work effectively,though, they suggest we would need to make it a rule that we do notuse varchars anywhere except to define user defined types.Though there will be one point of changes I can't help thinking thisisn't a very good idea ! Any thoughts ?Thanks.

Hi I get the following error:
Implicit conversion of varchar value to varchar cannot be done
because the collation of the value is unresoved due to a collation
conflict
SELECT
Accounts_Users.NameFirst + ' '
+ Accounts_Users.NameLast + ' (' + Accounts_Users.BusinessUnit + ')' AS
NameFull, -- Error here
-- Accounts_Users.NameFirst + ' ' + Accounts_Users.NameLast AS NameFull, -- This line works
Accounts_Users.EmailAddress, Accounts_Users.BusinessUnit
FROM Accounts_Users.Accounts_Users
NameFirst and NameLast are VarChar(30) and BusinessUnit VarChar(50), I
did try converting it to 30 also but still got the same error
The sp works on my dev sql server but not on the live one, I am using Management Console v2 (dev) and 1.2 (live server)
Thanks

We have an application that uses ASP pages to get data from a SQL 7.0 database. One of the stored procedures that is called brings back a comment field that is a varchar(2000). For some reason, when this SP is called from the ASP page, the field is truncated at 255 characters. If the SP is run in the Query Analyzer, all 2000 characters are brought back (after we reset the default length in QA).
Is there any way for the ASP page to bring back more than 255 characters?

i have written a query I was SO proud of but THEN was told to separate the values out of one column. simple way to do this without having to rewrite the whole query? Will I need to include a Case statement?
Basically the column contains several types of vacation codes which will need to be renamed to 2. So there is leave 1, leave 2, and leave 3 and sick. I will need to rename all leave 1, 2, and 3 to just vacation and leave sick as sick.

I have column with location for all reports, dashboards, images, pages in URL format from Sharepoint audit database. Like
sites/fm/finance/PowerPivot Gallery/FinancialStatement.rdlx
sites/ea/Mn_medical/Pages/Medical_DP/3 Site Compare.aspx
There are millions of rows like the above URLs. I need to separate all the strings from that ULR separated by "/" and make column for each so that I can create a hierarchy in tabular model. How do I write a sql for that. I could get first one and last ones with these kinds of substring:
SUBSTRING( b.DocLocation , LEN(b.DocLocation) - Â CHARINDEX('/',REVERSE(b.DocLocation)) + 2 Â , LEN(b.DocLocation) Â )
This gives me last piece of ULR. How I do I get all the middle pieces of URL?

I know of several methods to remove duplicate records but I recently encountered a unique situation where some duplicate records were actually acceptable.
Here is my situation:
I have a table that contains records of individuals who have children so 1 person can have 3 children with different birthdates; but there is also a field that has a specified language. The challenge arises when an individual may have only 1 child but has entered a single record twice. Once with a specifed language and again without which produces a default value of UNKNOWN.
I need to be able to remove this record without affecting records that may have a record entered twice as well; having 2 children for instance but they may also have a specified language in one record but a default value of UNKNOWN for their second record.
So I can't eliminate the unwanted duplicates by filtering out records that have UNKNOWN because I would also remove individuals that I need.
EX:
firstN | lastN | address | lang | childs birthdate
John Doe 210 Somewhere Ave ENG 1993-10-09
John Doe 210 Somewhere Ave UNK 1993-10-09
Jane Doe 210 Anywhere Ave ENG 1969-12-23
Jane Doe 210 Anywhere Ave UNK 1958-04-15
How could you remove the duplicate for John in this example without affecting Janes duplicate record which is actually ok because she apparently has 2 children with different birthdates whereas John's duplicate record is obviously created because it was entered twice; once without entering
a language and the second time specifying the language?
I have tried a number of things short of creating a cursor which isn't really the best way to resolve this issue since there are millions of rows.
Anyone out there have any input that be helpful? Or has anyone ever had this similar issue? I would be interested in knowing how you addressed the problem.
Any help is appreciated. :)

Hi folks. I am sure this is a common situation so there shouldn't be any problems ;-) I need to run a web server and a separate database server, but am having trouble working out what username I can use in my SQL database. Here is my setup:Web server: [Windows Server 2003, IIS6, ASP.NET 1.1] The anonymous web account for the website has been changed to one created by me, so I know the password - lets call it 'IUSR_ME'. Basides that it is all default. IIS_WPG has also been given access to all website files. Database Server: [Windows Server 2000, SQL Server Standard Edition] I already have a 'classic' ASP application running on this setup, and this was achieved by putting IUSR_ME as a user in the database. Does anyone know how to do it with ASP.NET? Many thanks in advance.George

I know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?

Hi Gurus,
I am new to SSIS. I am trying to install just the SSIS in one machine("SSIS Machine") and just the DB Engine ("SQL Server Machine") in another machine. What I am trying to do is, separating the SSIS service and packages from the Database Engine and trying to run in in another machine. I have few questions on this topic. I searched on this forum but I couldn't find a concrete answer to those questions. Forgive me if it already answered/asked multiple times.
1. When I install SSIS in "SSIS Machine", do I need to install client components also in the same machine?
2. I already established this setup (SSIS with client components in one machine and SQL Server in another) but when I tried to connect to the SSIS thro' Management Studio from Sql Server machine, I keep getting "Access Denied" error. Is it possible to connect to SSIS server from another machine (using Management studio)? I tried the DCOM security permission options I found in the internet(I don't have domain id so I gave "Everyone" full access) but still I get the same error. Any help would be appriciated.
3. Do I need 2 SQL Server Licenses (Enterprise) if I go with this environment?
4. Is it possible to configure SQL Job to run SSIS installed in another machine?
I would appriciate any help on this issue.
Thanks

I want to know if 64-bit SQL Server 2005 is a separate install. I have been provided with SQL Server 2005 enterprise CD. I tried browsing through the folder but could not find 64-bit install.
I am assuming the CD I have is 32-bit because the system configuration check report had this message "64-bit ASP.NET is registered. Required 32-bit ASP.NET to install Microsoft Reporting service 2005(32 bit)"
The windows server I am trying to install is Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition. I uninstalled the all the client and SQL Server 2005 install. Since my windows server 2003 hardware requirements are compatible for 64-bit SQL server 2005, I want to go ahead and install 64-bit SQL server 2005.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone implemented SQL 7 on a cluster(NT 4 Enterprise). It has been running for about 1.5 years with no problems. However, I now wish to manage the transaction log on a separate disk to the data, to increase performance.
I think I would need to create a new Disk resource on the cluster for the transaction log. But am not sure of the consequences during failover.
Has anyone done this, so that the disks containing the transaction log also failover.
There are some articles at the microsoft site, but none deal with managing the transaction log separately on a Cluster.

I simply need to separate the string for each row by the & character and then I'm assuming i ll be able to COUNT and GROUP BY the occurrences of each separate value in order to find the most commonly used inputs.I have a column Variables in the table Functions, that contains a string of values separated by the & character that shows the inputs each student inserted into a function.
How would I go about splitting that string without the use of a function or stored procedure and the find the most commonly used variables? (I was thinking the latter part could be easily solved with a COUNT(*) and appropriate GROUP BY.)
Example of data:
StudentID FunctionName Variables
1 Example1 Var1=10&Var2=xy&Sign=True&Role=False
