Hi
I have a field that starts with numbers and then has a description after if, eg.
"123 This is the description for string 123"
1. How would I go about stripping out the first instance of number to leave the string as "This is the description for string 123"
thanks.

Hello, I have this Access 2K query that I need to re-create in MS SQLServer 2000, so I'm using the Query Analyzer to test it.One of the Access fields stores the home phone number. In the Accessquery, if the phone number is null, it fills it up with zeroes"000000000." If the phone has an input mask, it only gets the 9 numbers(area code included) and if the phone number's good (all numbers) thenit leaves it alone. That Access query is using immediate ifs toaccomplish that task.Does anyone have any idea how to copy this behavior into SQL Server2000? I've using the CASE statement but so far my code is not correct.I get stuck in the input mask. This is the Access code:HomePhone:IIf(IsNull([HomePhone]),"0000000000",IIf(Left([HomePhone],1)="(",Right(Left([Homephone],4),3)& Right(Left([Homephone],9),3) & Right([HomePhone],4),[HomePhone]))Thanks for all your help.JR.

A table I'm working with has a varchar column containing a comma-delimited string of numbers, which match up to smallint codes in another table. I gather this is someone's implementation of a many-to-many relationship. :)

Say you have a table that has records with numbers sort of like lottery winning numbers, say:
TableWinners
num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6
33 52 47 23 17 28
... more records with similar structure.
Then you have another table with chosen numbers, same structure as above, TableGuesses.
How could you do the following comparisons between TableGuesses and TableWinners:
1. Compare a single record in TableGuesses to a single record in TableWinners to get a count of the number of numbers that match (kind of a typical lottery type of thing).
2. Compare a single record in TableGuessess to ALL records in TableWinners to see which record in TableWinners is the closest match to the selected record in TableGuesses.
Hi..
I m working on MS SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to pass a list of numbers to a stored procedure to be used with 'IN()' statement.
I was doing something like..
Create Procedure proc
(
@Items varchar(100) --- List of numbers
)
AS Begin
Declare @SQL varchar(8000)
Set @SQL =
'
Select Query......
Where products IN (' + @items + ') '
'
Exec (@SQL)
This stored procedure is working fine, but when i m adding more required stuff to that, the size exceeds 8000, & it gives the error "Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text."
Can any1 please help me out with this ASAP??
Have a need to let the user select the year and month to use for filtering results from an MDX query that populates a report.I think all I should need is a list of years and a Month name / number.What would the filter look like if say I had a Date dimension that included the year number in a 4-digit and month in a 2-digit number? In TSQL it would be something like ... where Month = @month AND Year = @year...How do I get a distinct list of member values for the month numbers from the Date dimension?

OrderNumber Stockcode quantityordered quantityinstock
123 code1 10 5

124 code3 15 20

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?
I want to strip off the last three characters from an item number. The only thing is tht every item number is not the same lenght. The last three characters of this number are packing codes that I do not need. Fore example I can have all these numbers:
EFJ50701033
EFW1546066
RFM4925156
70561033
89541899
How would I remove the last three characters and only remain with whatever is in front of those three characters?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Question - if you had to completely strip all permissions from all databases in an instance and reset them, assuming you have metadata to support rebuilding the permissions, what steps would you follow? I can handle the iterating through each database, but at the database level, what steps would you take?
The reason I inquire on this is I currently have a job that I inherited that does just this. But it's buggy and was also written in for SQL Server 2000. With some of the changes in 2005, a few bugs have crept in, etc. And I would like to confirm my thoughts this. Or, if your opinion is why are you wasting your time on this? Then that's fine to and I'll review any constructive comments you may have.
Hi All,
I'm having trouble coming up with a function that will allow me to display only the date and time from a string in the following format:
JSMITH 1/1/2006 1:00:00AM
I've tried using substr with a negative position value, but since the date and time for each instance can be different, with it being anywhere from 18-21 characters, if the length is anything less than 20-21 characters, it will return part of the end of the username. What function can I use to only retrieve the date and time?
I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help
I'm trying to strip out the First & Last Name from an Email Address. The email address is formatted as "FirstName.LastName@emailaddress.com" but sometimes a middle initial is used (ex: "First.M.Last@emailaddress.com").
I can locate the '@' sign and the first '.' period(from left to right) but need to find the first '.' from the left of the '@' sign.
I'm doing this in a view.
Here's some sample data and what I've tried:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Table1
(EmailAddr VARCHAR(255))
INSERT INTO dbo.Table1 (EmailAddr)
SELECT 'Andy.Smith@gmaddr.com'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Betty.Lee-Jones@gmaddr.com'
[Code] .....
I have a table that contains an nvarchar column of data. The data is actually a monetary value; sometimes with a decimal point sometimes without.
My problem is that I need to strip the decimal portion of the string if it exists. From a select statement I can use:
SUBSTRING(DW_OBP_ORD_TMP_IC.VALUE,1,LEN(VALUE)-(LEN(VALUE)-CHARINDEX('.',DW_OBP_ORD_TMP_IC.VALUE)
if a decimal point exists. But if one does not the CharIndex comes back 0 and my equation does not work correctly.
I need to pull the data from the table, along with many other fields. How do I do this without using a cursor? I have millions of rows so need a solution that will be quick.
thanks in advance,
Marilyn
Hi,
As part of a data search project I need to be able to strip all non numeric characters from a text field. The field contains various forms of phone number in various formats. In order to search on it I am going to remove all non numeric characters from the input criteria and from the data being searched.
In order to do this I decided on using a SQL Server custom function: Pass in field. Loop through all chars, test against asci values for number range. return only numernic data concatenated into a string.
Are there any other more efficient ways of going about this?
I have a filename as follows:
123_20151016_3152_AIRHtest1.txt

I am exporting from a SQL money field to a flat file. The datatype is set to DT_CY in SSIS. I need two decimal places in the flat file but instead I am getting 1.1 instead of 1.10.
Should I be using a different datatype or is there a way to set the number of decimals on the DT_CY datatype?
I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
So the output would look like :
CASE_ID VARIABLE
=====================
1 [ABC],[HDR],[GHHHHH]
2 [ABCSS],[CCHDR],[XXGHHVVVHHH],[KKKJU],[KLK]
SELECT
preop.Case_ID,
dbo.Concatenate( '[' + CAST(preop.value_text AS VARCHAR) + ']' ) as variable
FROM
dbo.TBL_Preop preop
WHERE
preop.Deleted_CD = 0
GROUP BY
preop.Case_ID
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like:
List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
HI...

Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following:
Code:
If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false
If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true
In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this
Code:
IF
(SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB)
Return False
ELSE
Return True
Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.
I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.
Can anyone help?

How can I do this?
