Varchar Column Check
Sep 21, 2004
Can't seem to get my head around this: I'm looking for a way to select only those varchar(10) values that soley consist of numbers. Leading spaces are allowed.
I tried using isnumeric, but it also allows those with periods, comma's etc.
Also tried using like, but the length of the varchar column varies too much to do a like '[0-9][0-9]....'.
As a solution I currently do a combo of isnumeric, not like '%.%', not like '%,%' etc. I need to do a conversion to an int to join another table, but the convert still fails. Not sure where and why.
I'm thinking there should be a better way than create a hughe list of "not like " but it looks like I'm in the woods here...

I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

Hi All,
I have a table Saleshistory with 89481412 records. I have a field Sales of nvarchar type, all the records in this field are numeric, and the records are with 2 decimal places. I expect all the records to be ending at .00 (for example 5.00,345.00,25.00), but I want to verify if something is for example 5.6 etc.
So in short I want to check if any Salesrecords have more than zero values in the decimal. How can I check this.
Please help.
Thanks,
Zee

Hi,
I have a column set to varchar(12) so I can ensure that the length of the string entered will never be more than 12 characters but I want to limit the string to a minimum of 8 characters, so I end up with a string that is from 8-12 characters long. How do I ensure the minimum length of 8 characters? I'm using SQL Server 2005 if that helps. I tried adding a check constraint like so:
DATALENGTH(UserName) >= 8
But I keep getting an error when I save the table, so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

I have two columns.
policyNumber contains a 12-13 varchar string
AllPolicyNumbersIncluded contains one or more 12-13 varchar strings (policy nums) seperated by commas
I want to check if policyNumber is contained in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded?
I have policyNumber LIKE AllPolicyNumbersIncluded which works when only one policy number is in AllPolicyNumbersIncluded and incidently works switched around AllPolicyNumbersIncluded LIKE policyNumber I assume because they are equal.
Can anyone tell me how to check if one column's value is a substring of another - without going through every possible substring of the second

In an effort to improve the speed of queries against my main table,I'll be indexing a column whose data type is varchar(50).Would I be better off (better performance) if I changed the column'sdata type to some numeric type? I would have to update the column'sdata to accomodate this, but I would do it if this offers aperformance gain.-- Bill

The below TSQL query takes about 19 minutes to run
SELECT count(distinct SessionID) ) FROM SessionTracker
Sessionid is a varchar(138)
Through SQL profiler - I notice implicit conversion taking place when running distinct option.
Select count(sessionid) from sessiontracker
- runs in milliseconds.

Is there a preferred way to order a varchar column numerically (for thosethat are numeric), then alphanumerically for all others?I've tried:ORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float,<column_name>) ELSE 999999999 END;andORDER BY CASE WHEN IsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END, CASE WHENIsNumeric(<column_name>) = 1 THEN CONVERT(Float, <column_name>) ELSE 999999END, <column_name>;Neither of these however give the desired results.Any ideas?Thanks,Frank

Hi all,
I'm new at this SSIS but have been able to successfully create some simple packages. My situation is that at work we use a column to describe a status of applications. However, this makes for hellacious query because some of those statuses inherintly were one or more statuses previously. Example
Admit = Admit
Accept = Admit then Accept
Withdraw Accept = Admit, Accept, then Withdraw
Decline = Admit then Decline
As you can see inherintly those were all admits at one point. So what I'd like to do is instead of having long queries for example to get all my "Admits", I'd rather query another table that has the following columns as bits:
Admit
Accept
Withdraw
That way I can query the admit column and get all my admits. How can I use SSIS to transform my "Decision" column into those bit columns?
Thanks for any help or suggestions you have.

In a stored procedure I have I have dates in the format YYYYMMDD with symbols representing the first 3 digits
e.g. °30903 =20030903, and I have to convert them to proper dates, and then eliminate all old data, so I replace symbols and then convert to int
SELECT af.AccomType, af.AccomRef, af.AccomName,af.address1, af.address2, bf1.RoomCode,
Convert(Int,Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(REPLAC E(Replace(MAX(bf1.EndBook),'°','200'),'´','204'),' 99','1999'),'97','1997'),'47',1947),'98','1998')) AS max_date,
...............
WHERE
af.Resort=@strResort
AND
(af.AccomType = 'H' OR af.AccomType = 'O')
AND
max_date>20040721
order by max_date.
Problem is I get an error saying invalid column max_date. It works in the order by clause when I get rid of the
'max_date>20040721 '.
Thanks

I am trying to query multiple columns for a specific value. I have 8 columns (values are either 1 or 0)and I want to query the table to find out which rows contain zero's in ALL of the 8 columns. Whats the best way to do this? I can create a lenghty select statement where column1 =0 and column2 =0 and column3=0 and column4 =0 and column5 =0 .... etc. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this?
Thanks in Advance

Can you tell me if this is possible? (and how to do it!!)
The application is VS2005, with sql database.
I want to check if a specific column exists in a specific table in the database and if not then add it, all via my application.
I'm happy knowing how to connect to the database & pass sql commands (as I'm doing that anyway to set off backups), but not the actual queries I'd need.

Well, actually, as in the title. I have a table. The script should add a column if that column doesn't exist already. I use VB to combine the two queries. So what I want:
Query1: Does the column exists:
if No,
query2: create the column
How can I achieve this?

I have a table in my database and the table has almost 45 columns and the rowsize is 10468 bytes.in that most of the colums have varchar datatypes and and i think coz of poor knowledge of the data most of the columns with varchar data were given more column length. Now i want to decrease the size of those columns and to see the row size would be around 8k Bytes.If i do this now, does it affect the table performance much....Infact can i do this as there is lot of data (almost 2 million rows) in the table.If it is possible is there anything to be taken care before changing the column lenghts.
Thanks.
