Jul 5, 2001Hi all,
I have just started using SQL7 and quite dumb at it.
Here is my problem
i have tables ip_address and ip_subnets. both contains more than 20,000 records. Though ideally each subnet should correspond to only one ip address it is not so due to SMS inventory and remote clients configurations etc.
As an example If my ip address is 141.151.128.78 I need to select only 141.151.128.64 ( or atleast 141.151.128.*)as the valid subnet. In other words I need to compare upto 3rd octet and only if it matches with ip address then declare that as the valid subnet.
Pls note that ip addresses vary for each machine though there will 4 octets, I can't use character positions as the nos in each octet might vary from 1-255.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Pasted here under is the query script I am playing around with charcter poistions which are not working in my favor. Just added to explain my problems in more clearer way
select distinct system_data.name0, System_IP_Address_ARR.ip_addresses0, System_IP_subnets_Arr.ip_subnets0, system_disc.client0 from system_Data, System_IP_Address_ARR, system_ip_subnets_arr, system_disc where system_data.machineid = System_IP_Address_ARR.itemkey and system_data.machineid = system_ip_subnets_arr.itemkey and system_data.machineid = system_disc.itemkey and system_disc.client0 = 1 and substring(System_IP_Address_ARR.ip_addresses0,1,10 ) = substring(System_IP_subnets_ARR.ip_subnets0,1,10) and substring(System_IP_Address_ARR.ip_addresses0,10,1 ) = '.' and System_IP_subnets_ARR.ip_subnets0 not in ('11%.%.%.%','12%.%.%.%', '10%.%.%.%' , '10.%.%.%' , '1.%.%.%') order by System_DATA.name0

Can You Use Substring In ASP.NET On A DropDownList ?
Oct 26, 2007I'm using the GridView to display some accounting infromation. I have a project where I have a 14 character control number. I would like to have a dropdown list to select the account classification of records to be displayed. The accounting classification is the first two characters of the control number. So the dropdown list needs to show unique first two characters and the GridView will be filtered on these two characters. I have been trying to use "substring" in the ASP.NET code; not even sure you can.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. See code below:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"
DataTextField="control_num" DataValueField="control_num">
</asp:DropDownList><asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:GPCRReportsConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [substring(control_num,1,2)] FROM [Request]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
ERROR: Invalid column name 'substring(control_num,1,2)'.

Jan 28, 2006Hi,
I'm trying to do write a query in SQL that returns the last two characters in a field.
If the actual fields are sheep, dog, cat, parrot
I want the query to return ep, og, at, ot
After rooting around I've discovered the SQL 'substring' function.
The problem I have is that the field has a variable length, so I need a way of passing the strign length to substring.
Its probably simple to solve, but not for a rookie like me without an example and I am (as always) grateful for any ideas.
To CARMI & JUN (Substring)
Apr 11, 2002Hi Carmi & Jun,
Thanks for responding. The problem is still persistent. What I want to do is to display two names in a combobox and the box should only be as wide as 2 adjacent names for their actual length. Whether I use char or varchar the combobox is always twice the width defined for the fields. So we will try to find a solution: an elegant one rather than a workaround.
Any new ideas are still welcome.
Thanks again.

Jun 20, 2008it's early in the morning (well it is here anyway) and i need a shot of logic...
in the data base i'm currently working with i have a varchar field that holds either a number or a collection of numbers in square brackets. I need to extract the number or the first number in square brackets if it's a list. i know it's gonna be a simple one but my head just won't do it?? i'm trying with substring and charindex to determine the position of the '[' but just not getting it this morning
quick sample of what the data in this column may look like...
declare @t table (col varchar(30))
insert into @t
select '2' union all
select '[5] [4]' union all
select ' [12] [1]'
so i need to get...
col
-------
2
5
12
EDIT-
OK, so i get this to work but only if there is actually square brackets
declare @t table (col varchar(30))
insert into @t
--select '2'union all
select '[5] [4]'union all
select ' [12] [1]'
select col
,substring(col, charindex('[',col)+1, charindex(']',col)-charindex('[',col)-1)
