hi.
I have to update a column with new data. I have to replace the values that lay with a certain range. for example
my table has a column called ENI_KEYVALUE1, I have to update the data in this column only where the ENI_KEYVALUE1 is between P6_00001 and P6_00240. The values have to be replaced with values listed sequencially in an excel spreadsheet.
how do I do this???
thanks in advance
Hi,
this is my second attempt to get an answer to this question.
We want to strip our firstName column and lastname column of any punctuation that might be present.
What's the best of doing that?
Is my only choice to write a nested REPLACE for each character we want replaced (which will end up being very very long) or is there another way.
thanks

Hi Guys,
I am faced with a problem that is giving me headaches. I have t1, t2 and t3. I t1 I have students that have a reference to t2 which are the schools they belong to. The problem arises when I see that there is redundancy in t2. There more records for the same schools. This was posible in giving the same school (postcode and name make it the same school) a different ID. In t3 I removed these redundant schools by using fuzzy grouping.
My problem is I want to ensure that the students are put using the schools from t3 instead of t2. So what I need to do is is to replace the redundant id from t2 with the correct id from t3.
Please help. Thans in advance

I have a SQL table with 5000 rows in it. Some of the other SQL columns have different values but if I wanted to swap say 500 of the rows would it be something like
UPDATE Coupins
SET Name='test1,test2,test3'
WHERE Name='test4,test5,test6';
I need basically to swap the Name value of these without affecting any other values.
Hello. We have a list of 1000+ sku numbers. 90% of them start with u. I need to replace the u with T.
Concerns:
It has to only replace the first letter, if there are other "u"s in the sku, they need to remain.
Not all skus start with u, those that don't should remain the same.
I have searched and searched because I'm sure someone has requested the exact same thing but I can't find anything that is identical.
I have this so far but I know its not correct:
set sku = replace(left(sku,1),'u',right(rtrim(sku),1)+
'T')
Can someone help lead me down the right path?
Thanks in advance!!!
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.
Hi there,
I have a derived column shape in which I replace a column with an expression.
The expression is an IF statement - a true result sets a value for the column and a false result just uses the existing value of the column (ie it replaces it with itself)
Like this.
ColumnName DerivedColumn Expression
ColumnA Replace 'ColumnA' ColumnB != ColumnC ? "y" : ColumnA
But whenever, the condition is NOT met, ColumnA is set to NULL!!!!
Does this mean that the column value is deleted before the Expression is applied?
If this is how it is meant to work, then does anyone have a way of doing what I want to do without creating extra columns in the dataset??
Cheers.
I have a column like this:
Table: User
name, field1
Jack 1000|1001|1003
Berg 2000|1001|2004
Paul 1001|1000
Jane 1001
Now, I would like to replace all "1001" with nothing, and also remove the "|"-separator behind 1001 if it exists, basically removing both "1001" and "1001|", so the resulting table looks like this:
name, field1
Jack 1000|1003
Berg 2000|2004
Paul 1000
Jane
My tries, been plenty, but here are some:
Code:
UPDATE UserTable
SET field1 = REPLACE(field1, '1001', '')
UPDATE UserTable
SET field1 = REPLACE(field1, '1001|', '')
But the above queries replaces field1 only if the whole field matches '1001' or '1001|'...
The above queries do work, just like I want them to. I just happened to write them in this order on this post... did not do a copy of the actual query.
I have a field in a table that contains a different formula (varchar(1000)) for each record. It's along the lines of something like this, although each formula is different: ([ColumnA] - [ColumnB])/([ColumnC] - [ColumnD]). I plug that into a dynamic SQL statement so that it can get executed in a select statement.
Due to the variations of the formulas, checking for Divide by Zero, etc, we want to move this to a .NET method. We'd like to replace "ColumnA" and "ColumnB", etc., with the actual values so that we're passing something like (5-3)/(6-2). I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this without actually executing it. We don't want to pass the solution, but the equation filled with the actual values rather than the column names.
I need to replace a portion of a url in a column as a result ofchanging servers. Is there a SELECT/REPLACE/UPDATE combination querythat can do this. The table has close to a thousand entries and wouldbe nice if a query can be set to do this. Tried the REPLACE examplein the BOOKS ONLINE but it creates syntax error, apparently because itdoes not like the characters in the url and/or wildcards. I don't needto replace the entire url, only the portion before ".com". Thanks inanticipation of your help.Pradip Sagdeo

Hi,
I have a excel file which i want to import the data to sql server... The sql server Data type for that particular column is
varchar and it has a contraint too like the data should be in this fashion 00000-0000 or 00000...
but when i try to import the data from the excel to sql server... 08545 just becomes 8545 (cause excel is treating it as a float) and so my insert fails...
what can i do to rectify the problem...

Has anyone ever seen this code (I put the script tags in brackets so it would not get embedded in forum page)?
[script src=http://www.qiqigm.com/m.js][/script]
We have a number of MSDE 2000 databases running on a Windows 2003 SBS. These databases feed information to their respective websites. One of our databases (and on this one only) something or someone is somehow overwriting the text and varchar fields in all of the tables in the database and replacing it with the above or similar javascript. I've been a database developer and administrator for a long time and I have not a clue how this is being accomplished. When this code replaces our data, what ends up happening is 1) the virus detectors start going off the chart if you go to the site and 2) the script somehow appears to attempt to mimic the site its taken over.
When I do a search on qiqigm to see if anybody has had this problem before, really the results you get are pages and pages of sites that appear to be infected directly with the same bogus javascript code...and not a word about what it is or where its coming from. In our case, and it appears many others by looking, replacing the product description or title description or ordering information in the database causes the script to be written to the browser where otherwise the product/order information would be. This causes the script to run when the page is loaded. Since it overwrites the data in all fields in all tables, it assures itself that it will get displayed no matter what a user attempts to do on the site.
On this database, the only user that has access to the database is the IUSR_<domainadmin> account.
I restored this particular database a couple of days ago to an uninfected backup. I had done this before, but the script would eventually manifest itself again at some point. This time I have removed the ability to get to the product pages for now until we figure out the problem. This appears to be keeping the beast at bay. So far (2+ days), the database has remained in tact.
Anybody got a clue as to what it is I'm up against?
TIA,

I work on a copy of SQL Server Express on my desktop. After modifying and creating views and user defined functions, I would like to copy and paste them into the working database. Is there a method programmatically of doing this or must I copy and paste the t-sql language from the existing view to the new database--then save the new view on the working database?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I'm writing a procedure and have a temporary table. One of the column in the temporary table must have an autonumber. How should I define this column when creating the temporary table!
Thank you
suppose i have a table penalties with
ticket_number, ticket_start_date datetime, ticket_end_date datetime
There are many records of same ticket_number.example:
ticket_number ticket_start_date ticket_end_date
75 2/1/03 3/2/03
75 2/4/03 5/4/03
34 2/1/03 3/3/04
34 3/4/04 3/3/05
I want to write a query which will:
1. select the ticket_number which is not active as of today
in case of ticket_number 75 it is closed so I want to print it in report
in case of 34 it was closed but now opened, so i don't want in my report.
Could anybody suggest a query how to do it?
I was trying with stored procedure and cursor :
-------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE simpleTest
AS
declare @Today datetime
set @Today = '10/04/2004'
declare @colA varchar(38)
declare @colB datetime
declare @colC datetime
declare @myCursor CURSOR
set @myCursor = CURSOR FAST_FORWARD
for
select distinct ticket_number, ticket_start_date, ticket_end_date
from penalties
where ticket_end_date <= @Today
open @myCursor
fetch next from @myCursor
into @colA, @colB, @colC
while @@fetch_status=0
begin
print @colA
print @colB
print @colC
fetch next from @myCursor
into @colA, @colB, @colC
end
close @myCursor
deallocate @myCursor
GO
-- =============================================
-- example to execute the store procedure
-- =============================================
EXECUTE simpleTest

however this gives closed tickets but multiple records. I want only the last record details of the ticket_number.
I tried last(ticket_number) in my query, but it doesn't affect.
Please suggest! thanks.

I have a table with Million plus records. Due to Running Totals article, I have been able to calculate the Trial_Balance for all months.
Now I am trying to provide a Beginning Balance for all months and the Logic is the Beginning Balance of July would be the Trial_Balance of June. I need to be able to do this for multiple account types. So the two datasets that need to be included in logic is actindx and Calendar_Month.
For actindx of 2 and Calendar_Month of 2014-01-01The Trial_Balance_Debit is 19585.46 This would make the Beginning_Balance of actindx 2 and Calendar_Month of 2014-02-01 19585.46
