Sql String Find With &&
Jun 22, 2007
I have a visual studio 2005 app that has to match strings to something in a database.
It works wonderfully until a string shows up with an & in it (so "this & that")
The app wont find anything even though it should, the same query that is made in VS works just fine in enterprise manager
I tried a replace on the & with the chr(), hex, and html reference for & and none of those work.
We tried using different methods in VS to do the sql statement and commands.
The statement surrounds the string with single quotes.
If we take the & out, everything works fine.
Turned off request valadation just in case.
Any ideas?????

I have following query which return me SP/Views and Functions script using:
select DEFINITION FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESNow, the result looks like
Create proc
create procedure
create proc
create view
create function
I need its result as:
Alter Procedure
Alter Procedure
Alter Procedure
Alter View
Alter Function
I used following
select replace(replace(replace(DEFINITION,'CREATE PROCEDURE','Alter Procedure'), 'create proc','Alter Procedure'),'create view','Alter View') FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESto but it is checking fixed space like create<space>proc, how can i check if there are two or more spaces in between create view or create proc or create function, it should replace as i want?

quote:Another question is how to find a string in any column of any table.
(Above is a hint as to one way)
I had to do this because a system was sending out a not very impressive email to users ad we couldn't find what was triggering it.
I have run into a similar situation. Care to share your solution?

Please help me with the sql script to manipulate the string data:
I need to add <Text> at the beginning and end of the string.
I also need to add <option> before the first and after last occurence of the <Option> string. The original string
<StockNumber>502</StockNumber>
<OptionKey>113</OptionKey>
<OptionKey>151</OptionKey>
<Warranty>1</Warranty>
should look like
<Text>
<StockNumber>502</StockNumber>
<Option>
<OptionKey>113</OptionKey>
<OptionKey>151</OptionKey>
<Option>
<Warranty>1</Warranty>
<Text>
Thanks.

Hi, I'm making a webapplication in C# with MSSQL as database.
I've created a form to do an advanced search on books. The user can type in name, author, .... and he can also mark 2 dates from to Calendar objects (I made sure date one can not be bigger than date 2). I'm using smalldatetime as DBtype. The 2 selected values are DateTime in asp. The results are shown in a gridview. Since I added the feature I keep getting the same error and I can't find where it is. Here's some code:
1 public List GetBooks2(string invB,string titelB, string auteursB, string taalB, string uitgeverijB, string jaarB, string keywordsB, string categorieB, string standplaatsB, string ISBN,DateTime datum1, DateTime datum2, string sortExpression)
2 { //this is my method for the advanced search
3 using (SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection(_connectionString))
4 {
5 string strSql = "select * FROM Boek where 1 = 1";
6 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(invB)) strSql += " and (inventaris_nr like @invB)";
7 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(titelB)) strSql += " and (titel like @titelB)";
8 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(auteursB)) strSql += " and (auteurs like @auteursB)";
9 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(uitgeverijB)) strSql += " and (uitgeverij like @uitgeverijB)";
10 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ISBN)) strSql += " and (ISBN10 like @ISBN or ISBN13 like @ISBN)";
11 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(standplaatsB)) strSql += " and (standplaats like @standplaatsB)";
12 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(jaarB)) strSql += " and (jaartal like @jaarB)";
13 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(keywordsB)) strSql += " and (keywords like @keywordsB)";
14 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(taalB))
15 if (taalB == "Andere")
16 strSql += " and (taal NOT IN ('nederlands', 'frans', 'engels', 'spaans', 'italiaans', 'duits'))";
17 if (taalB == "--Geen voorkeur--")
18 strSql += "";
19 else
20 strSql += " and (taal like @taalB)";
21
22 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(categorieB))
23 if (categorieB == "--Selecteer een categorie--")
24 strSql += "";
25 else
26 strSql += " and (categorie like @categorieB)";
27
28 if (datum1 == null)
29 strSql += "";
30 else
31 if (datum2 != null)
32 {
33
34 strSql+=" and datumB between @datum1 and @datum2";
35 }
36 else strSql+="";
37 if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(sortBLOCKED EXPRESSION
38 strSql += " order by " + sortExpression;
39 else
40 strSql += " order by id";
41
42 SqlCommand oCmd = new SqlCommand(strSql, oConn);
43 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@invB", "%" + invB + "%"));
44 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@titelB", "%" + titelB + "%"));
45 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@auteursB", "%" + auteursB + "%"));
46 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@taalB", "%" + taalB + "%"));
47 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@uitgeverijB", "%" + uitgeverijB + "%"));
48 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@jaarB", "%" + jaarB + "%"));
49 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@keywordsB", "%" + keywordsB + "%"));
50 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@categorieB", categorieB ));
51 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@standplaatsB", "%" + standplaatsB + "%"));
52 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ISBN", "%" + ISBN + "%"));
53 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@datum1", "%" + datum1 + "%"));
54 oCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@datum2", "%" + datum2 + "%"));
55
56
57 oConn.Open();
58 SqlDataReader oReader = oCmd.ExecuteReader();
59 List boeken = GetBoekCollectionFromReader(oReader);
60 oReader.Close();
61 return boeken;
62 }
63 }
I think that that method is correct, not sure though... The code for GetBoekCollectionFromReader(oReader) is this=1 protected List GetBoekCollectionFromReader(IDataReader oReader)
2 {
3 List boeken= new List();
4 while (oReader.Read()) //THIS IS WHERE THE ERROR APPEARS
5 {
6 boeken.Add(GetBoekFromReader(oReader));
7
8 }
9 return boeken;
10 }
That's the method where the error appears... Where should I place a breakpoint to get the exact location? To make sure all methods in this code are explained, here's the code for GetBoekFromReader(oReader))= 1 protected Boek GetBoekFromReader(IDataRecord oReader)
2 {
3 Boek boek = new Boek();
4 boek.idB= (int)oReader["id"];//id auto generated dus verplicht
5 if(oReader["inventaris_nr"] != DBNull.Value)
6 boek.Inventaris_nrB = (string)oReader["inventaris_nr"];
7 if (oReader["auteurs"] != DBNull.Value)
8 boek.AuteursB = (string)oReader["auteurs"];
9 boek.TitelB = (string)oReader["titel"];//titel verplicht
10 if (oReader["taal"] != DBNull.Value)
11 boek.TaalB = (string)oReader["taal"];
12 if (oReader["uitgeverij"] != DBNull.Value)
13 boek.UitgeverijB = (string)oReader["uitgeverij"];
14 if (oReader["aantal_p"] != DBNull.Value)
15 boek.Aantal_pB = (string)oReader["aantal_p"];
16 if (oReader["jaartal"] != DBNull.Value)
17 boek.JaartalB = (int)oReader["jaartal"];
18 if (oReader["keywords"] != DBNull.Value)
19 boek.KeywordsB = (string)oReader["keywords"];
20 if (oReader["categorie"] != DBNull.Value)
21 boek.CategorieB = (string)oReader["categorie"];
22 if (oReader["standplaats"] != DBNull.Value)
23 boek.StandplaatsB = (string)oReader["standplaats"];
24 if (oReader["ISBN13"] != DBNull.Value)
25 boek.ISBN13 = (string)oReader["ISBN13"];
26 if (oReader["ISBN10"] != DBNull.Value)
27 boek.ISBN10 = (string)oReader["ISBN10"];
28 if (oReader["URL"] != DBNull.Value)
29 boek.UrlB = (string)oReader["URL"];
30 if (oReader["username"] != DBNull.Value)
31 boek.UsernameB = (string)oReader["username"];
32 if (oReader["passwoord"] != DBNull.Value)
33 boek.PasswoordB = (string)oReader["passwoord"];
34 if (oReader["datumB"] != DBNull.Value)
35 boek.DatumBoek = (DateTime)oReader["datumB"];
36 if (oReader["status"] != DBNull.Value)
37 boek.StatusB = (string)oReader["status"];
38
39
40 return boek;
41 }
Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.
That's the error I get by the way. It also appears when I do a search and I don't use the date function... for example when I only fill in the title textbox and I don't select any dates from the calendars...
Sorry for the long post, but I think it's the only way to get a clear view on it...

Hi all,
@str varchar(500)
select @str = 'abcd,efgh,i,jklmn,opsqrtuv'
For the above string, which string function can be used to find the number of occurences of a particular character, for example, ','? For this example, the answer should be 4. Is there any built-in function in SQL to do this?
Thanks in advance,

Hi, got a problem and can't figure this one out.
basically i've got a field containing a value '(14)(12)(33)(22)' and i want to compare it to a table containing those values in separate cells...
record 1 : (01)
record 2 : (02)
etc...
and i want to compare this one field to those records to see whether that text string contains anything the table contains.
i've tried ContainsTable & IN but still can't figure this out.
any help greatly appreciated

I have a string and i want to get only the numbers from right.
For example if I have the string Like '123756zxfggr123456' then it will show me only 123456 or if i have the string like
'4vbz67xfggr123dfd' then it will show me only 123 or if i have the string like '123756zxfgg43r5' then it will show me only 5.
I got a function where it gives me all the numbers in a string but I don't need that
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetNumeric
(@strAlphaNumeric VARCHAR(256))
RETURNS VARCHAR(256)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @intAlpha INT
[Code] ....
If I ran the select statement it gives me the result 111123456 but i want only 123456 or if i select
SELECT dbo.udf_GetNumeric('111zxfggr6587fhhfkwee') AS 'Num' it will show me 6587.

above is a single row. There are many such rows are present in the table. Now I want to find all alias and GPA and display as below.
idGPA
111111.75
111111.43

In oracle it can be done by using REGEXP_SUBSTR. But how can we do this in SQL?

I have a program which feeds back information to a table within my database. The annoying thing is that only 1 of the table cells has all of the information I need so essentially I have a large string of data I need to retrieve values from.I retrieve my cell with a simple select details from alerts where ID = (alert number).The results I have are as follows:
[INFO] Dashboard Output Information:
[LastUpdated]
Time=09:59
[LastProcessed]
LastProcessed=*2911
Updated=09:59
[LastReceived]
LastReceived=#10
Updated=09:59
As you can see I have a list (its larger but this is a sample), the only thing I need are the values for each section so for last processed i want the 2911 so I can use it on my dashboard and the last received I want the 10 for that section.i have read about using substrings but am really not sure where to start and how I'd go about getting these values to then use elsewhere?

Hello all,I'm at a loss on how to do this. We're using MS SQL 2000 Server and Ihave a list of fields I need to find the first and last entry for.Here's an example of the table:Number - VarChar(10)Jan - IntFeb - IntMar - IntApr - IntMay - IntJune - IntANd it'll look something like this:NumberJanFebMarAprMayJun12322001901922012032054432433322 4565423754694665And I need to create a table with this:NumberFirstLastDifference123220020554432433456235423754665-89I'm not sure if this'll copy over correctly, but I have gaps in thedata so I can't just say Jun-Jan, but I need tofind the first fieldwith data and last field with data, then find the difference of these.Suggestions? Is there a loop or something I can do in TSQL that'll dothis? I'd like to do this in Query Analyzer since it's just a one-timereport. Thanks --Alex

I am required to find or check that a specific word exists in string or not.
Suppose I have to find the word 'st' than I need the result true if and only if the following occurrences are there.
1. 'St is valid;' -> true
2. 'DOB is valid;ST is invalid;' -> true
3. 'DOB is valid; ST is invalid;' -> true
4. 'DOB is valid;invalid ST;' -> true
5. 'DOB is valid; invalid ST;' -> true
6. 'DOB is valid; invalid STate;' -> false
Means the exact ST should be search. It is not free text search.
T-SQL is needed to be used in select statement with case using PATINDEX, RegEx or any suitable t-sql command.

I am trying to find all instances of a string that contain the letters FSC. While I am able to find most of them, I am unable to find the ones wrapped in double quotes.
Query example:
Select *
from myTable
Where item like '%FSC%'
This works great with the exception of when FSC is surrounded by double quotes.
ex: MySentencecontains"FSC"
I have tried Replace with no luck.

One of my varchar columns in a table has multiple key words enclosed in a pattern of special characters.
Eg: William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world's pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England's national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other [##playwright##].
I need to write to query to find all distinct key words that are enclosed within [## and ##]. My query should yield the following results from the string in the example above
[##actor##]
[##dramatist##]
[##playwright##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set
[##poems##]
[##poet##] -- 2 occurrances, but I need it only once in my result set
[##sonnets##]
[##verses##]
[##writer##]
I need to run this on a large table, so I am looking for the best possible way to minimize any performance issues.
Just give you sample code, I have provided below 2 separate snippets, one with table variable and another with temp table.
DECLARE @MyTable TABLE (MyString VARCHAR (8000))
INSERT @MyTable VALUES ('William Shakespeare was an English [##poet##], [##playwright##], and [##actor##], widely regarded as the greatest [##writer##] in the English language and the world''s pre-eminent [##dramatist##]. He is often called England''s national [##poet##] and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 [##sonnets##], two long narrative [##poems##], and a few other [##verses##], of which the authorship of some is uncertain.
[code].....

I'm trying to find a specific string (a name) and replace it with another inside of a VARCHAR(7000) field. Unfortunately, there are names like Ted and Ken that I'm trying to replace. I would like to leave words like Broken, admitted, etc... intact.
UPDATEtbl
SETBody = LEFT(REPLACE(tbl.Body, pm.OldFirstName, p.FirstName), 7000)
FROM Table tbl
JOIN Person p ON p.PersonID = tbl.PersonID
JOIN PersonMap pm ON pm.PersonID = p.PersonID AND LEN(pm.OldFirstName) > 2
WHEREtbl.Body LIKE '%[^a-z]'+pm.OldFirstName+'[., ]%
'The problem I'm running into is that the '[, ]%' in the LIKE excludes any record that ends with the FirstName because it is requiring either a space, comma or period after the name. Is there some way to add an empty string to the list of acceptable characters as that would cover any scenario in the data? I would prefer not to add all characters except space, comma and period, but I guess I could do that.

I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last

I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you
