I recieve data where I am comparing zip codes from raw data, to a zip code table. The columns I am matching are in integers.
The issue is that in the raw data, sometimes the zip code is extended to more than the 5 characters in the zip code table so I am getting null value returns
A sample of this is in the raw data is:
Zipcode
54303
54304786
78641
Is there a way I can have it compare only the first 5 digits of the zip codes in the raw data zip code column to the zip code table? Or would I have to convert the data type? Or alter or truncate the characters somehow? If so, please include how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi
I have a strange issue here.
Both the input datasets of the merge join are sorted . Everything works fine if the dataset doesn't contain speacial characters like - (hipen).
This is the sorted dataset.ASI311_3ASI311_3ASI312ASI311ASIKit1ASIKit1
Merge Joiner has to look for ASI311 and finds it in the list and everything works as expected. But if the dataset is changed to
ASI311_3ASI311_3ASI-312ASI311ASIKit1ASIKit1
Then it doesn't find the ASI311 in the above dataset ?
Only change between the two datasets is the - (hipen) which is added in one of the field. Does SSIS has a differenent precedence of the special characters than that of the Database. Both the datasets are on SQLServer.
Can anyone point out the issue here?
Thankyou

With a database size of almost 2 GB, I run the 'truncate table eventlog command' which completes successfully, but the database size only decreases by about 10 MB so stays too large - indeed the number of rows in the eventlog table is minimal, but the otehr tables in this database don't show such an amount of tables large enough to cause the size issue either. What could be the reason and how can I reduce it (possibly truncating another table but then which one, how could I determine which is too large and needs truncating?).

Hi all...
Please forgive the elementary nature of my question, but could someone please explain the differences between these two database backup types:
1. Log backup
2. Log backup no truncate
From what I understand and have read, the "no truncate" backup method keeps the entire transaction log indefinitely. Using the truncation method, the transaction log is either 1) compressed or 2) cleaned up so that any completed transactions are removed from the log. Which one of these is true?
And, for the big question: is it better to run a backup of the transaction log with truncation or not? Our current backup scheme is similar to the following:
Full backup every 24 hours
transaction log backup every hour with no truncation
Should we insert a truncation backup somewhere in here? What is the danger of removing (or compressing) parts of the transaction log? Will this affect the restore process?
Thanks in advance!
Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?

Good day experts,
I wonder if i got an answer for this.
How can i iliminate a letters from a set of integers and characters using a SQL Statement

is that possible?
is there a function that i can use to iliminate them?
I’m getting ASCII characters in one column of my table. So I want to replace same column value in NON ASCII characters.
Note – values in column must be same
hi, like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right? so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).
I want to search Customer based off of the Search record, which could have multiple SearchCriteria records. However, if there aren't any SearchCriteria records with CountyId populated for a given Search, I want it to assume to get all Customer records, regardless of CountyId.
Right now, I'm doing it this way.

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

Hi,
I have a web form that lets users search for people in my database they wish to contact. The database returns a paged set of results using a CTE, Top X, and Row_number().
I would like to give my users to option of removing individual people from this list but cannot find a way to do this.
I have tried creating a session variable with a comma delimited list of ID's that I pass to my sproc and use in a NOT IN() statement. But I keep getting a "Input string was not in a correct format." Error Message.
Is there any way to do this? I am still new to stored procedures so any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
Hi, when I copy and paste results from query analyzer into Excel it appears that values with zeroes at the end loose the zeroes. Example, if I copy and paste V128.0 into an Excel cell it comes out as V128 or if I copy 178.70 it displays as 178.7 - any ideas? I'm using SQL Enterprise Manager for 2000.

Hi there,
I have a simple stored procedure that will truncate the log file but I now need to make this dynamic so that this proc can be run with any DB name. I know you can look up the logical filename in sysfiles but I'm not too sure how to write this procedure so that it will simply truncate the log file of the currently selected DB.
This is what I have so far which as you can see is hardcoded:
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE TruncateLog AS
BACKUP LOG [FICaches] with TRUNCATE_ONLY
DBCC SHRINKFILE (FICaches_log, 50)
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
I have a Log which is 15 gb. Recovery mode is simple.
What command can I use to truncate this log? Or is it best to shrink it?
Thanks
I have a small doubt .
Truncate is not a logged operation.
In log shipping if we perform any truncate operation on the primary server will its get reflected on the secondary server.
I have 2 tables.
Table 1 and table 2.
Table 1 has a foreign key related to a particular column on table 2.
Suppose if i have applied a truncate command on table 2 .will it work or not.
We have to check for dependencies on the table before we should apply a truncate command.
Could any one tell me can we directly apply a truncate command on any object irrespective of the dependencies on that object.

Hello All,
I am doing some data extraction from a database table: custtable. The customers have zip codes of 9 digits however I just need the first five of them. I am not sure of the syntax. Can anyone suggest me on this one?
This is what my statement is
where ((len (ct.zipcode ) > 5 and ct.country = '001')or ct.country <> '001')
This one returns customers with zipcodes > 5 and I need to only truncate this, coz my database also contains cust with zip code of only 5 digits and I have extracted that data already. Now I need all the zipcodes that have a length of 9 to be truncted to 5.
An earliest possible response is highly appreciable.
Thanks,

I have a problem.
The SQL statement I have is like this
select * from table where (convert varchar(25),AMT) LIKE '%0%'
This causes all my data to appear instead of 1 only if I key 77 into the textbox because AMT is a currency type with 77.000.
So is there another way of solving this other than truncating off the zeroes?
If so feel free to assist me, your help is greatly appreciated.
