In SQL SErver 2008, I have a text column. I need to display either 2nd word in the text column or 1st word in the text column based on certain conditions.
How shall i display either 2nd word or 1st word from a text field.
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!

Finding numbers of occurrences of a string of characters
in a column of TEXT datatype.
DDL of involved table txt:
create table txt (pk int, txtcol text) -- datatype of pk doesn't matter
declare @word varchar(80) set @word='help'
declare @pk int, @count int, @i int, @dl int, @wl int
set @wl=len(@word)
declare abc cursor for select pk from txt
where patindex('%'+@word+'%',txtcol)>0 order by pk
open abc fetch next from abc into @pk
while @@fetch_status=0

I have a database field which consists of a long string of values with some separator.
Ex:Â Injection^!@$#Medication
in my report i have to split the string as
Injection
Medication
till here i am able to display the results but in addition to that i have to display check box against these values like below
and this string can contain any no of values ex: if we have 4 values are separated within a string then i have to display 4 check boxes against 4 results.
Hi,
I'm attempting to use the following code to display either 'All' or the date value selected by the user from a Report parameter;
=iif(Parameters!FromCheckOutDateDate.Value.ToString = "[Check Out Date].[Date].[All]", "All", "From Date: " + Parameters!FromCheckOutDateDate.Value.ToString.Substring(26,10))
This is throwing an error ('#Error').
I can use the following code with no error, though its not as useful;
=iif(Parameters!FromCheckOutDateDate.Value.ToString = "[Check Out Date].[Date].[All]", "All", "Not all")
I can even use this to display the selected value (i.e. 2007-01-01);
Parameters!FromCheckOutDateDate.Value.ToString.Substring(26,10)
Why can't I use them both in my iif statement?
Can someone please help?
I need to set a field value based on two date time parameter's.What is the correct syntax to allow me to pass the value into the field in my SSRS expression ?
=IIf(Parameters!EndDate > Parameters!StartDate.Value, "Overdue")

How can I find the first date if the date is split into a year and month column?
I thought of using the Min function, which would work for the year column, but it would probably just return a 1 everytime in the month column.
Hi,
i was checking books online and run into the sp_OAxxxx stored procs that can give us access to a OLE Object.
I am currently developing a VB.Net app that uses a word template to create word documents. So, for example ,i we suppose that the template is :
-----Template start -------
This document was created by <!_author_> on <!_date_>
-----Template end --------
then, the created document would be :
-----Created doc start -------
This document was created by justsarter on 09/13/2007
-----Created doc end --------
All the data are fetched from a database and i have to make muptiple calls to it ,not to mention opening and closing word.application object.
I wonder if that kind of text manipulation in the document can be performed on the server using an SP
Thx

Dim bytesReceived As Long = DBContent.GetBytes(0, 0, Doc, 0, Doc.Length)
Dim encoding As ASCIIEncoding = New ASCIIEncoding
lblTest.Text = encoding.GetString(Doc, 0, Convert.ToInt32(bytesReceived)).ToString

Hi everybody,
is it possible using SQL Server search for a word on each
table on each field?
Thanks

I am trying to set up a query that will allow the user to input a string, and the search will match ANY word in that string. Currently, I have it configured so that the search will only match the exact string that the user inputs. I have google searched for the answer, but no luck yet. Any ideas?

I want to split it like "AZ" ," 001"

So how to write sql query for splitting? and then populating the dropdownlist ?
I have the following fields in table A:
GL_ID| Date |GL_Name_VC | Amount Period_TI|Year_SI
===============================================
1000|31/12/2005 | Sales | -8,000.00 | 12 | 2005

===============================================
1000|28/01/2006 | Sales | -4,000.00 | 01 | 2006
The above database is running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and i would like to query
for a report that looks something as below:
Period | Date | GL_Name_VC | Debit | Credit| Net Change | Balance

01 |28/01/2006|Sales | 0 | 4,000 | 8,000 |6,000
The formula for the above calculated fields are as below:
Opening Balance = carried forward balance from Year 2005
Debit = All positive amount
Credit = All negative amount
Net Change = Total Credit - Total Debit in Period 01
Balance = Total of Net Change + Opening Bal

I am in a real squeeze here. I am working on my first ASP.NET project here and I am having some big problems with a content management aspect of this so far. I have a freetextbox control that my users want to be able to paste out of Word and save the content to a MSSQL Database. Well this was working great until I found out that I have a 4000 character limitation, and most of the pasted data is well over 14000 characters at least.
I've been working on these for about two weeks and just have come to a dead end. Here's what I had before: Form with Freetextbox that saved the information in the form to a database by calling a function in a class.vb file, the class file then called a stored procedure using parameters. Similiarly the display page loaded with a record id, and fired off a function stored in a class file, using stored procedures and using output parameters to I could assign the returned values to label fields etc. This has completely gone down the toilet since i had to change to text field to accomodate the larger text sizes. I have found some resources about chunking out to the file system, but I really don't want to do that, I just want it to display the information out on a web page, and I have been scouring google for weeks! Can someone tell me if this the wrong approach? How do I go about storing / retrieving HTML in an ntext database field just like these forums? I am completely stumped!
Good day,
I have a database table that is populated by bulk insert of a text file. This file is not comma delimetated and there are no line end characters, just one very long string, although the file is fixed length.
As I said I now have this long string in my SQL Server 2005 table. Is there a fast way to split this up into multiple rows?
Say for instance I have a string of 100 characters and each row would be made up of 10 characters. Is there a easy way to split this into the 10 rows or 10 characters using just a SQL statement?
Please can someone help.
Thanks
I'm new to SQL and I'm trying to write a statement to satisfy the following:
If [Field1] contains text from [Field2] then return [Field3] as [Field4].
I had two tables where there were no matching keys. I did a cross apply and am now trying to parse out the description to build the key.
does any one how to search for a word in a text file and return it back using the script task in ssis?
the file may contain data like this
POSITION SMSMSS20051230000
S ,,751600 ,,20051110,,20051230,20051230
S ,,751600 ,,20051110,,20051230,20051230
S ,,751600 ,,20051110,,20051230,20051230
S ,,751600 ,,20051110,,20051230,20051230
S ,,751600 ,,20051110,,20051230,20051230
what i am looking for is to be able to parse and get the date which is present in the first line "POSITION SMSMSS20051230000" as "20051230"
and then return that as a variable ..
Thanks for any help in advance

I have a row in a SQL table that has 4 numerical values, separated by comma. I'd like to take this and make it 4 separate columns. Values are not always the same length, but are always delimited by commas.
Any ideas how I could do this in T-SQL?
Here's a question for the SQL gurus out there:
I have a varchar(20) field DIAGNOSISCODE in a table that can either be null, or contain up to 3 comma-separated codes, each of which relates to a description in another table. For example, some sample rows might be
8060
8060,4450
8060,4123,3245
Now I need to structure a query to return these values from this single field as three fields CODE1, CODE2, CODE3, with NULL as appropriate for example
CODE1=8060, CODE2=4450, CODE3=NULL.
I have been using CASE along with CHARINDEX and PATINDEX but it it becoming extremely messy. Can anyone think of a "neater" way to return three fields from this one field?
Any help very greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Simon.

HiHo,
just a beginners question:
I have the following row with 2 fields:
Field 1: Task A
Field 2:´ 1;2;3;4
The number of semicolon divided elements in Field 2 is variabel.
I would like to create new rows like:
Row 1 Field 1: A Field 2: 1
Row 2 Field 1: A Field 2: 2
Row 3 Field 1: A Field 2: 3
Row 4 Field 1: A Field 2: 4
I think I should use a Foreach Loop.
But I don't exactly how to do it?
best regards
Chris
I know this should be simple but I can't figure it out. I am reading in a csv file to a conditional split task, all I want to do is split the file based on a field. Some values in field will have a suffix say ABCD while others wont. So my conditional split says Right(FieldA,4)=="ABCD" which then splits file in two directions or at least it's meant to. Problem is that it does not work. I think it has something to do with the field type in the csv file although I have tried using a Data Conversion task but to no avail all the field values with ABCD suffix are ignored by my conditional split and head off the same way as other values. Funny thing is is that if I manually add a value to the file with a suffix of ABCD and run task again then the conditional split works on the manually added row and all rows with suffix of ABCD. It's like it does not recognise previous values as string until one is added manually.
Thanks
Hi.
I'm trying to write an SQL Query that will take a delimited field and return each item as a row.
Example
Take the AuthorizedRoles and TabID fields from the Tabs table
AuthorizedRoles TabID
0;11;__________1
0; 15 ;17;______6
-2;____________7
I would like to return a unique record for each Authorized Role
AuthorizedRole TabID
0____________1
11___________1
0____________6
15___________6
17___________6
-2___________7
Any ideas?
Cheers
