I've the following query. I'm using the yellow highlighted to join 2 tables, as these tables dont have a relationship between them. The format of the name field is 'AAAA-BBBBBB-123' here A will be only 4 chars, followed by '-' B can be any number of chars again followed by '-' and the last is the id which I'm using to do a join. This query will fail if the id is just 1 digit as its taking the last 3 chars as the id. I dont know how to get the id from the right using charindex. Charindex would search for the first occurence of '-' from the right and get the chars after hypen i.e 123. How can this be achieved?
SELECT id AS 'ID', name AS 'name', sequence AS 'num' FROM FirstTable A INNER JOIN SecondTable q ON (CONVERT(INT,RIGHT(name,3))= a.id) INNER JOIN ThridTable t ON(t.id = q.id) INNER JOIN FourthTable s ON (q.name = s.name ) WHERE A.id = @ID AND t.name=LEFT(s.name,((CHARINDEX('-',s.name))-1)) ORDER BY 'ID','num'
One more question on this is: Is this a good way of joining tables? If I dont use this I've a very large query containing unions. Which one should be bug-free and more efficient?
I have a column that contains the follwoing string I need to compare.
ek/df/cv/ ek/df/cv/f
All fields bfore the third / are not fixed but behind the third/ is eiter nothing or one letter I need a function to extract all the fields before the third / to compare if they are equal.
I can't do it by using the combination of Substring() and charindex() and Len()
select top 5000 textdata,substring(textdata,charindex('exec',textdata)+5,charindex('@',textdata)-1) from trace_table where TextData like '%sp_%' and TextData like '%declare%'
I have written a query to search for a string in an expression by the number of it's appearance. Script is like this:
DECLARE @Expression VARCHAR(8000) = 'abcd_e_fgh', @SearchString VARCHAR(10)= '_', @OccuranceNumber SMALLINT = 1 DECLARE @SearchIndex INT = 0, @SearchIndexPrevious INT = 0, @Sno INT = 0 WHILE @Sno < @OccuranceNumber BEGIN
[Code] .....
Here i'm trying to search "_" in expression "abcd_e_fgh" where it is appearing for first time. it gives me 5 correctly. Now when i change the @OccurenceNumber to 2 or 3, it gives correct values 7 and -1 respectively. However now when i change it to 4, it gives me 5. So when it's trying to check for fifth appearance of "_", it's not actually giving 0 or -1 but repeating the value 5.
I am trying to erase some erroneous bad data in my table. The description column has a lot of </div>oqwiroiweuru</a> weird data attached to it, i want to keep the data to the left of where the </div> erroneous data begins
update MyTable set Description = LEFT(Description(CHARINDEX('<',Description)-1)) where myid = 1
that totally works.
update MyTable set Description = LEFT(Description(CHARINDEX('<',Description)-1)) where myid >= 2
gives me a Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function. The statement has been terminated error.
I have 5 dynamic rows each row consisting of 5 checkboxes & 5 dropdowns.I am concatenating the values of each controls in a row using a wildcard charater "~" and each row i am concatenating using "|".The complete string is then assigned to one hidden field and passed as sql parameter to the backend.
Please help in writing the split function to get the values of each checkboxes and dropdowns from the string in order to save them in separate columns.
Hi I need a stored procedure in SQL that will split a comma separated variable passed to it select a name for each value and return a recordset. Any pointers greatfully received. First attempt is dreadfully slow as I am opening recordsets each time

Hi I have this string which might have a hyphen in it "-" What I want to do is if I get a hyphen then take all characters after hyphen else take only all the characters starting from the 5th position of the string How can this be achieved?
I've got a dilemma here. I'm currently reading records into EasyListBox (ELB) dropdownlist. The criteria in the dropdownlist is based on the select from another ELB dropdownlist. The problem is that the data contains rows with pipes that serve as separters. For example, one of the options that comes back now might be 123 | 456 | 789. I need to be able to make each of them its own row in the dropdownlist. Can anyone advice? Most records don't have any pipes and come throught fine, but some dont. My code below: Dim sAT As String = Replace(elbAttribute.SelectedValue, "'", "''") Dim adapter As New SQLDataAdapter("Select Feature_Type As Attribute_Name, FEATURE_TEXT_VALUE as Attribute_Value, (select distinct FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED.FEATURE_TYPE_ID from FILTER_PROFILES, FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED, FAMILY_ALLOWED_FEATURE_TYPES, SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES, SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES where FILTER_PROFILES.FILTER_PROFILE_NAME = 'MAQ' And FILTER_PROFILES.FILTER_PROFILE_ID = FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED.FILTER_PROFILE_ID And FAMILY_ALLOWED_FEATURE_TYPES.FAMILY_ID = FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED.FAMILY_ID And FILTER_FAMILY_FEATURE_EXCLUDED.FEATURE_TYPE_ID = SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES.FEATURE_TYPE_ID And (SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES.Feature_Type_ID = SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES.Feature_Type_ID And left(FEATURE_TYPE, 4) <> 'CPLV' And Feature_Type = '" & sAT & "')) As ExclusionFlag From SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES, SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES, PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES Where PRODUCT_FEATURE_VALUES.FEATURE_VALUE_ID = SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES.Feature_Value_ID And SHARED_FEATURE_TYPES.Feature_Type_ID = SHARED_FEATURE_VALUES.Feature_Type_ID And left(FEATURE_TYPE, 4) <> 'CPLV' And Feature_Type = '" & sAT & "' UNION Select distinct Column_Name As Attribute_Name, SMALL_TEXT_VALUE As Attribute_Value, (select FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_EXCLUDED.EXT_ATT_ID from FILTER_PROFILES, FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_EXCLUDED where FILTER_PROFILES.FILTER_PROFILE_NAME = 'MAQ' And FILTER_PROFILES.FILTER_PROFILE_ID = FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_EXCLUDED.FILTER_PROFILE_ID And FILTER_ATTRIBUTES_EXCLUDED.EXT_ATT_ID = EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES.EXT_ATT_ID) As ExclusionFlag From EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES, EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES, PRODUCTS Where PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID = EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.PRODUCT_ID And not SMALL_TEXT_VALUE is null And EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.EXT_ATT_ID > 1499 And EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES.EXT_ATT_ID = EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES.EXT_ATT_ID And Column_Name = '" & sAT & "'", myConnection) Dim dt As New DataTable() adapter.Fill(dt) elbValue.DataSource = dt elbValue.DataBind()
hi, i have a simple question, i have a sql server table named "Restaurant" and a field "Cuisines", the values in the field Cuisines contains delimeted string. (e.g. "C1,C2,C3...C10" ,maximum to 10 items or less) now, i want to split the values from Cuisines ("C1,C2,C3...C10") and passed all of them to a SP parameter. e.g @item0 nvarchar = "C1",@item1 nvarchar = "C2",@item2 nvarchar = "C3",@item3 nvarchar = "C4",@item4 nvarchar = "C5",@item5 nvarchar = "C6",@item6 nvarchar = "C7",@item7 nvarchar = "C8",@item8 nvarchar = "C9",@item9 nvarchar = "C10" if the field "Cuisines" contains less than 10 items, the value of the remaining parameters is null. any response will be appreciated. thanks.
for example: ------------------------------- DECLARE @LongString VARCHAR(10) @LongString = "Hello-Word" ------------------------ i want to change the LongString value by removing the "-" however i i need to identify if the @longString got "-" and delete it if it found how do i do that in sql
I have a string stored in field v_images in table tbl_DealerFeed_temp. This string is split by the "|" character. I want to create a SQL query to grab this string, split it, and insert it into tbl_Vehicles_photos. I also need to pass the value d_id into the photos table:
tbl_Vehicles_photos: vp_id, d_id, vp_image_name
The vp_id is the unique ID. I need to populate the d_id and vp_image_name field with my values.
Can it be possible to split the below string to NICK and SERVERS. Query which provides two columns, first column data should be NICK and other SERVERS.
I need to create a SQL statement to read the string, split it at the "," character, and insert it into individual rows. I also need to insert an ID (the same for all split values).
I have a parameter called Id in my SP which will be of nvarchar data type and i'm going to get the multiple ids at a time seperated by commas in that parameter from the application. Now my requirement is to update a table with these comma seperated ids in seperate rows.
For example, if i have 2 parameters called Id1 and Id2. Id1 will contain only one value and will be of int data type and Id2 will be of nvarchar data type as i can get multiple ids delimited by a comma from the application.
Suppose Id1 = 1 and Id2 = '1,2,3,4'. Then I have to update id2 in the tables seperately like wherever Id1 is '1' i need to update Id2 column for 4 rows with the value 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively in different rows.
how can i do this in T-SQL? How can i split the data of parameter Id2 in 4 different rows?
I have a RPC which gives me multiple - single record rows like
Robert|K|Half|TX|1123823|1423904 -- This is one such record that i get in 1 Column
Now I need to split the above record into 6 Fields and populate in my local DB I know i could use any .NET Language and accomplish this. But Iam limited to using SSIS/T-SQL Proc's
I have a table with a string value, where all values are seperated by a space/blank. I now want to use SQL to split all the values and insert them into a different table, which then later will result in deleting the old table, as soon as I got all values out from it.
Old Table:
Code: ID, StringValue
New Table:
Code: ID, Value1, Value2 Do note: Value1 is INT, Value2 is of nvarchar, hence Value2 can contain spaces... I just need to split on the FIRST space, then convert index[0] to int, and store index[1] as it is.
I can split on all spaces and just Select them all and add them like so: SELECT t.val1 + ' ' + t.val2... If I cant find the first space that is... I mean, first 2-10 characters in the string can be integer, but does not have to be.Shall probably do it in code instead of SQL?Now I want to run a query that selects the StringValue from OldTable, splits the string by ' ' (a blank) and then inserts them into New Table.
Code: SELECT CASE CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) WHEN 0 THEN OldTable.stringvalue ELSE SUBSTRING(OldTable.stringvalue, 1, CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) - 1) END AS FirstWord FROM OldTable
Found an example using strange things like CHARINDEX..But issue still remains, because the first word is of integer, or it does not have to be...If it isn't, there is not "first value", and the whole string shall be passed into "value2".How to detect if the very first character is of integer type?
Code: @declare firstDigit int IF ISNUMERIC(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) = 1 set @firstDigit = CAST(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) ELSE set @firstDigit = -1
