How Do I Split A Column Result By A Nonalphanumeric Character?
I have a column that returns client numbers. The client numbers are 4-6 characters in length. A period (.) is added to the end of the client number, and then one last digit (1-4) is affixed at the end to denote a categorization. In SQL, I need to figure out how to divide these results into two columns, one for the client number and one for the categorization number. EG: client #4334.1 would become 4334 for client # and 1 for categorization number or Client #424561.3 would become 424561 for Client # and 3 for categorization number. I have to strip out the period in the process and leave myself with just the numeric characters divided into two columns. Ive been researching my brains out on string queries and substring queries and I can't figure out how to parse out the period and/or to have SQL understand that I need everything BEFORE the period for one column and everything AFTER the period for the second. Is it possible to do this? I really need help on this one. Thank you :)

Comparing A Column List Split To A Table.
Let me see if I can explain my situation clearly.I have a table with the columns:answer_id, question_id, member_id, answer- answer_id is the primary key for the table.- question_id relates to another table with questions for a user. Thetable holds the question and the possible choices in a varchar fieldseparated by a delimiter.- member_id is self-explanatory- answer is a varchar field of all the choices the user selected,separated by a delimiter.Here is my problem.I am trying to search all members that have answered, say, question_id= 2 where they selected 'brown' as one of their choices.i can do this if they selected ONLY that item, but not multiple items.The problem is this portionanswer in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist.....I need this to be something like....function_to_return_all_separated_answers(answer) in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlistThe current way, it is only returning members that have an answer'Brown', not 'Brown, Blue' in their answer field. Make any sense? So,what I need to do is separate the list of answers and say :select member_id from profile_answers whereANY ANSWER in function_to_split(answer) MATCHES ANY OF THESE (selectvalu from dbo.iter_intlist...It seems I might have to join or something, I am just a little lostright now.Here is my proc.ALTER procedure search_detailed_get_ids@question_id as integer,@answers as varchar(8000),@member_ids ntextasdeclare @v as varchar(8000)--get the delimited string of all possible answersset @v = (select bind_data from profiles_questions where question_id =@question_id)--prepare it for the function only accepting 1 charset @v = replace(@v, '||', '|')--gimme all members that matchselect member_id from profiles_answers where question_id = @question_idand answer in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@v, '|') where listpos in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@answers, ',')))and member_id in (select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@member_ids, ','))returngo

As this DataFlow is populating a parent table, I need split the values into their own dataflow and populate a child table.

Need To Find An Easy Way To Split A Column In Table Without Using Cursor Or Temp Tables
Hi , I have two tables within a SQL database. The 1st table has an identified column and column which lists one of more email identifers for a second table, e.g. ID Email -- ---------- 1 AS1 AS11 2 AS2 AS3 AS4 AS5 3 AS6 AS7 The second table has a column which has an email identifier and another column which lists one email address for that particular identifier, e.g. ID EmailAddress --- ------------------ AS1 abcstu@emc.com AS2 abcstu2@emc.com AS3 abcstu3@emc.com AS4 abcstu4@em.com AS5 abcstu5@emc.com AS6 abcstu6@emc.com AS7 abcstu7@emc.com AS11 abcstu8@emc.com I need to create a stored procedure or function that: 1. Selects an Email from the first table, based on a valid ID, 2. Splits the Email field of the first table (using the space separator) so that there is an array of Emails and then, 3. Selects the relevant EmailAddress value from the second table, based on a valid Email stored in the array Is there any way that this can be done directly within SQL Server using a stored procedure/function without having to use cursors? Many Thanks, probetatester@yahoo.com

Database Diagrams : Showing Relations Column To Column
Hi to all, As I am going to deal with a huge number of database tables, I thought that drawing their diagrams will be the most professional way of keeping track of what I am doing. So In Enterprise Manager using the Wizard I made it to be drawn nicely. But I have a problem now. I see that the relations defined among the tables are represented correctly but the line connecting the two table is drawn randomly. I mean the starting point of the line doesnt start from the column having the primary key and doesnt end near to the column having the foreign key. Viewing my diagram I want to see the lines to start and end showing the 2 related key columns. Is there a way to accomplish this like setting an option, clicking somewhere or should I try to drag the lines to manually? Thanks in advance

To Split Or Not To Split
I have a database with a "large" table containing date based information Basically they're reservations. I've thought about creating a new table and adding any records from past years to this table. For the most part only current reservation need to be searchable, but in some circumstances it would be useful to be able to search through the archive too. so, my questions!!! Is 8,000 or so rows of data "large" and unwieldly in SQL terms? Would splitting this data into 2 tables - one small table for current and future reservations and one larger archive table then using a UNION SELECT query to make archive information seachable be a significant improvment on server resources/load or am I making the whole thing more complicated than it need be as 8,000 rows of data is nothing to worry about............. What did they say about a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing? Thanks in advance of any guidance to a neophyte!!?

SPLIT() UDF
SQL UDF split() The objective of this article is to help the SQL developers with an UDF that can be used within a stored procedures or Function to split a string (based on given delimiter) and extract the required portion of the string. Scripting languages like VB script and Java script have in-built split() functions but there is no such function available in SQL server. In my experience this function is really handy when you’re working on an ASP application with SQL server as backend, whereby you’ll need to pass the ASP page submitted values to the SQL stored procedure. To give a simple example, in a typical Monthly reporting ASP page – the users would select a range of months and extract the information pertaining to this date range. Classic implementation of this model is to have an ASP page to accept the input parameters and pass the values to the SQL stored procedure (SP). The SP would return a result set which is then formatted in the ASP page as results. If the date range is continuous ie. JAN07 to MAR07 then the SP can typically accept a ‘From’ and ‘To’ range variables. But I’ve encountered situations whereby the users select 3 months from the current year and 2 months from previous year (non-continuous date ranges). In such scenario the SP cannot have a date range as input parameters. Typically an ASP programmer would do is by having a single date input parameter in the SP and call the SP within a loop in the ASP page. This is an inefficient way of programming as contacting the database server within an ASP loop could cause performance overhead especially if the table being queried is an online transaction processing table. Here is how I handled the above situation. 1.Declared one string input parameter of type varchar(8000) (if you’re using SQL 2005 then it is advisable to use Varchar(Max)) 2.Pass the ASP submitted values as string, in this case the months selected by user would be supplied to the SP as a string 3.Within the Stored Procedure I’ll call the split() function to extract each month from the string and query the corresponding data The basic structure of the stored procedure is as pasted below:- CREATE PROCEDURE FETCH_SALES_DETAIL ( @MONTH VARCHAR(MAX) ) AS BEGIN DECLARE @MONTH_CNT INT,@MTH DATETIME SET @MONTH_CNT=1 WHILE DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) <> '' BEGIN SET @MTH = CAST(DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) AS DATETIME) --<<Application specific T-SQLs>>-- (BEGIN) SELECT [SALES_MONTH],[SALES_QTY],[PRODUCT_ID],[TRANSACTION_DATE] FROM SALES (NLOCK) WHERE [SALES_MONTH]= @MTH --<<Application specific T-SQLs>>--(END) SET @MONTH_CNT=@MONTH_CNT+1 END END Dbo.SPLIT() function takes 3 parameters 1)The main string with the values to be split 2)The delimiter 3)The Nth occurrence of the string to be returned The functionality of the UDF is as explained STEP by STEP: 1.Function Declaration CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SPLIT] ( @nstring VARCHAR(MAX), @deliminator nvarchar(10), @index int ) RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX) Function is declared with 3 input parameters:- @nstring of type VARCHAR(MAX) will hold the main string to be split @deliminator of type NVARCHAR(10) will hold the delimiter @index of type INT will hold the index of the string to be returned 2.Variable Declaration DECLARE @position int DECLARE @ustr VARCHAR(MAX) DECLARE @pcnt int Three variables are needed within the function. @position is an integer variable that will be used to traverse along the main string. @ustr will store the string to be returned and the @pcnt integer variable to check the index of the delimiter. 3.Variable initialization SET @position = 1 SET @pcnt = 1 SELECT @ustr = '' Initialize the variables 4.Main functionality WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@nstring) and @pcnt <= @index BEGIN IF SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) <> @deliminator BEGIN IF @pcnt = @index BEGIN SET @ustr = @ustr + CAST(SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) AS nvarchar) END SET @position = @position + 1 END ELSE BEGIN SET @position = @position + 1 SET @pcnt = @pcnt + 1 END END 4.1The main while loop is used to traverse through the main string until the word index is less than or equal to the index passed as input parameter. 4.2Within the while loop each character within the string is verified against the delimiter and if it does not match then local word count variable is checked against the input index parameter 4.3If the values are same ie., the input variable index and the word being processed in the while loop are the same then the word is stored in the @ustr variable. If the values does not match then the @position variable is incremented. 4.4If the character matches with the delimiter then the word count variable @pcnt is incremented along with the @position variable 5.Return the value RETURN @ustr I hope this article would benefit those who are looking for a handy function to deal with Strings.

New Database Column Isn't Receiving Data

All of the other previous columns are getting written to, however the new column I created is getting NULL when I open the database to inspect. Why does this happen? I made sure the db column name matches exactly with the params elsewhere.Did I miss something? It's not throwing an error anymore. it's not taking the data I enter into the form and putting it into the db column.
