Finding Dashes/hyphens In A Column.
Jul 23, 2005Hi,I'm having trouble running the following query:select * from message where text_body like ' ----------%'ie, five spaces followed by at least ten hyphens. The query doesn'tcomplete, so eventually I cancel it. If I remove the hyphens from thequery ("... like ' %'") then it runs fine (though it doesn't findthe correct data).Am I confusing SQL Server by using a wildcard or regular expression?(I'm using SQL Server 2000 - 8.99.760).Thanks in advance for any helpRichard

Anything That You Find In SQL Object Scripts, You Can Also Find Them In System Tables?
Jul 26, 2005I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 andI see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I aminterested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)stored procedure statements in syscomments table.My questions are:If you script your whole database everything you end up havingin the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?That means i could simply read those system tables to get any informationI would normally look in the sql script files?Can i quickly generate a SQL statement of all the indexes on my database?I read many places that Microsoftsays not to modify anything in those tables and not query them since theirstructure might change in future SQL versions.Is it safe to use and rely the system tables?I basically want to do at least fetching of information i want from thesystem tables rather than the SQL script files.I also want to know if it's pretty safe for me to make changes in thesetables.Can i rename an object name for example an Index name, a Stored Procedurename?Can i add a new column in the syscolumns table for a user table?Thank you

Sep 13, 2006To ensure I don't leave orphans floating around in tables when records get deleted (values from one record might link to values in another) how do I find and possibly replace values in tables?For example, if I have a unit of measure table and want to delete the value "inches", how do I look in other tables to find this value and give the user the option to cancel or clear it out. If I don't it will cause controls bound to that value like the dropdownlist to throw an error.

Jun 22, 2007I have a visual studio 2005 app that has to match strings to something in a database.
It works wonderfully until a string shows up with an & in it (so "this & that")
The app wont find anything even though it should, the same query that is made in VS works just fine in enterprise manager
I tried a replace on the & with the chr(), hex, and html reference for & and none of those work.
We tried using different methods in VS to do the sql statement and commands.
The statement surrounds the string with single quotes.
If we take the & out, everything works fine.
Turned off request valadation just in case.
Any ideas?????

Duplicated Key.. How Can I Find This Key?
Jun 5, 2001Hi, All
I have a problem with one table.
This table is corrupted so I drop the table and recreate the table..(Of course I export data) After that I try to put the primary key to new table but it won't allow me to do it. Error message says " There are duplicated key existed" Therefore I open up the EM and take a look at that table. There is key in that table but not Primary key..(also from the query analyzer using sp_help)
My question to U is how can I find this duplicated key and delete that info? I think somewhere in the system table contains this info but I don't know where:-(((
Thanks in advance..

Can Not FInd "OOS_MAP"
Apr 30, 1999We have a number of databases on a server running NT 4.0(SP4) and SQL 6.5
(SP 5a). We run Enterprise Manager scheduled dumps of the databases to
disk every night The dumps are spread over the clock from about 1730 to
about 2330. The databases are stable and we regularly run various DBCC
maintenence routines on them. We have been doing these dumps for a long
time without problems. For the last two weeks we have been getting the
following message in the SQL error log:
"[date & time] kernel DPDB_MAP: unable to find the OOS_MAP for page xxxx"
This is followed by an AV and stack dump of whatever dump happens to be
running. This occurs at different times, and we can find no pattern or
abnormality in the error logs or the event logs. So far, Microsoft has not
been able to provide any information about this phenomenon. Can anyone
help? What is the "OOS_MAP" and how do we fix this ?

Can't Seem To Find A Way To Optimize This...
Nov 14, 2007Hi, We have surveys that gather data and we're trying to find the best way to query this data for reporting. It is not too late to change everything so we're open to any suggestions. Here is my current setup:
Results table from which each row represents a user that filled in the survey so it contains a unique identifier, a survey identifier and some other data which we use elsewhere.
Result_Answers table which holds the answers for each result. So it contains the result ID, the question ID and the answer ID
Questions and Answers table which hold the actual text for each identifier used in result_answers.
What we're trying to do is retrieve the count for each answers (thats easy) based on a set of conditional answers. For exemple:
Q1 - Are you male or female
Q2 - What is your age group
Q3 - What type of music do you listen to.
So lets say I want the count of each answers for each question but limited to the results that answered male on Q1 and 18-25 OR 25-35 on Q2. The only way I found to do this is create a cursor to loop trough each questions, select the result IDs that answered Q1 correctly and then remove from that temp table each result ID that didn't answer the subsequent questions correctly. This gives me a page long query with a cursor and multiple IN commands (for when there's more than one answer valid for a single question)
I'm not saying the results are abysmal, I'm still getting my results inside 2s with a bit over 1 million rows in those tables. But unfortunatly, this is basically only one survey... I can only imagine that it will get longer and longer as we add more surveys.
So my question is: Is there a better way to query this data or worst case, is my table schema not efficient enough? In both cases, how can I fix/optimize it?
I'm really hoping you guys can help me out!
Find IP In Range
Dec 2, 2006Hi there:
This one's a bit tricky. I want to be able to take an IP address of a request on my website and find it in a table. Specifically, I need to be able to record IP address RANGES for search engines so that when they attempt to find a page that isn't there, I can programmatically send a 404 header instead of give them the human-friendly page (please don't make suggestions on this - I'm using PHP, etc., and can't send both a 404 header and a human-friendly page).
Anyway. Let's say a search engine has the IP range 33.33.0.0 through 33.33.255.255 (I made that up). if I receive a request from IP 33.33.101.221, how can I store ONE record (as either a regular expression or maybe multiple fields or somehow else) so that I can match that IP? I'm normally pretty good at figuring stuff like this out, but this one has me stumped for the moment.
All help is greatly appreciated.
I'll be posting a similar request on the PHP forum - I hope that's not considered cross-posting.

Find What I Just Inserted
Jun 23, 2004Hey!
I need to find the record_id of the record I just inserted so that I can display the newly created record id.
Right now it looks like this: (I'm using Cold Fusion to insert and retrieve records, but I think this is an SQL question)
INSERT INTO table (value1, value2, value3) values (value1, value, value3)
Select record_id
FROM table
WHERE value1 = value1 AND value2 = value2 AND value3 = value3
The problem is when someone puts in the exact same data for values 1 through 3 I get back only the first record_id, not the last one. Maybe that's the trick right there, add an ORDER BY field_id DESC??
I thought MySQL had a way to grab the last inserted record, or return the record_id while I'm still in the insert statement, that would be preferable.

How To Find Session Id

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow To Find The Odd Record Out....
Mar 22, 2007Code:
"SELECT " & _
"Asset_Number, Inv_ID " & _
"FROM " & _
"tbl_Asset "
OKay looking at this highly simplified query here is my problem.
We have a ton of Asset numbers that are the same and for each asset number the inv_id should also be the same.....
However, since this data gets entered by humans - sometimes the inv_id is wrong....
I need to figure out a query that fleshes out the rows where asset_nums are the same but inv_id is different than other rows...?
Of course this may be impossible.....
I mean what if there was only two records by the same asset_num and each inv_id was different?
How could the query know which was the right one......
I need to run a report that finds the invalid inv_id's so that they can corrected.....
any thoughts on how this is done?
My thoughts are - using an inner select...
something to the effect of :
SELECT ....
FROM
(SELECT * WHERE (inv_id = inv_id) > 1)
GROUP BY asset_num.........
I just dont know exactly what the correct syntax is....
muchas gracias....
(btw this is actually ms-sql but mysql forum is so much more popular and the syntaxes are similar enough....thank you...)
