Using CURSOR For INSTR Purposes

Mar 21, 2007

TASK: At my work we want to categorize and summarize all our IIS web logs and make statistics from it and such. What I need to do is take the browser type from a certain column in the table. All the information is stored in 1 column, and I figure an instr function would be best to do this. I am new to SQL, so I was told to look up the cursor function. In summary, I want to take all the IIS data and match it up against a defined table and then have a sum function for each browser.

Here are some examples of what the column data looks like: (found in the [csMethod] column

Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1)
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727)
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+.NET+CLR+3.0.04506.30;+InfoPath.2;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322)
Mozilla/5.0+(Windows;+U;+Windows+NT+5.1;+en-US;+rv:1.8.0.8)+Gecko/20061025+Firefox/1.5.0.8


I made a define table which lists an ID (primary key) and instr to search for as well as the full browser name. (define.browser)

DEFINE.BROWSER

For Reporting Purposes

May 30, 2008

Hi,

I'm working in a bank and I'm creating a report for my company. I just started learning SQL last month. I hope this forum would help me. Here's my problem:

I have date for the last 6 months. I want to filter current quarter and last quarter data. This means, on the next quarter, the data will automatically moves forward. Is that possible?

I would appreciate any help.

Data Files For Testing Purposes

Feb 12, 2006

Can anyone give any advice to finding db files for testing. CSV files or what have you. I want to have some nice fun and repetitive Transact practice in creating db's and users etc. I have seen some online but I wondered first if anyone here used a site in particular that they could recommend. Would be nice to have files that may be standard (csv) and in another db format that I could use, mix it up some.

Would be great if someone here can offer some advise on it, and if it's possible using SQL rights.

How To Limit Processors Used (for Licensing Purposes)?

Jul 18, 2007

Is it possible in SQL Server 2005 to limit the number of processors used? For cost reasons, we are consolidating servers and want to start running SQL Server 2005 on one of our dual-processor Win2K3 machines instead of the standalone machine it's currently running on. Because we have about 75 users, it's only cost effective to purchase a processor license (vs. a server license with CALs). But right now we only need and can only afford a single processor license, not two. So...

Is there any way in 2005 to limit the number of processors used so that we only need to purchase one processor license? I know in 2000 you could set this on the "Processor" tab of the "SQL Server Properties" dialog. In 2005, is this accomplished by unchecking the "Processor Affinity" and "I/O Affinity" checkboxes for processor #2 on the "Processors" page of the "Server Properties" dialog? If I uncheck these two options does that fully disable SQL Server 2005 from accessing the second processor in any way? From things I've read I can't tell if it restricts access to the second processor completely or if it just places some limitations on the ways it accesses the second processor.
Also, the licensing information for SQL Server 2005 leads me to believe that if you are going down the "processor licensing" route that you have to buy a processor license for every processor that the OS itself has access to and not just what processors SQL Server has access to. I thought I understood that in SQL Server 2000 the licensing information did allow you to buy a processor license just for each processor that SQL Server 2000 had access to, but has that changed for 2005?



Hope someone can provide some clarification on limiting processor access and the licensing implications for SQL Server 2005.



Thanks,

Scott

I Am Looking For The Function That Is The Same As InStr In Access

Jan 29, 2001

Hello there...
I am looking for the function that is the same as InStr in Access for SQL server. I have a column that has format like this.. Lastname,Firstname Middlename...
This column doesn't separate each one of them. However I need to separate Lastname and Firstname and Middlename.. I was told that in Access there is function(InStr) that can find a position of comma and separate it as Lastname like that....
I was searching BOL but I couldn't find like this function in SQL Server..
So I need help:-))))
Because everybody has a different length of the lastname, I have a problem.
I can not use SUBSTRING or LEFT or RIGHT because of the varying position of comma ...

Thanks in advance

String Function - InStr

Dec 11, 2002

In VB there is InStr, in Excel you have SEARCH. what function can i use to search a string for a specific string. ie: how can i find where a space is in someones name?

our database has a table that is used for security. it contains a user code, user name and passcode. i need to split the username (currently forename and surname in same field) into two, around the space.

in VB i would write something like
strFName = left(<usernamefield>,InStr(1,<usernamefield>," ")-1)
to get the forename and similar to get the surname. how can i do this in SQL so that a view will supply the data apprpriately?

one of the reasons i want to do this is so that i can sort the users by surname! another is so that i can give options on their usercode - a combination of forename initial and 2 characters from surname.

any help welcomed.

Instr() Equivalent In SQL Server

Jul 20, 2005

I am trying to convert a complex function from Oracle to SQL Serverand have come across Oracle's Instr() function. I see SQL Server hasCHARINDEX() which is similar, however it does not provide some keyfunctionality I need. Here is an example of the Oracle code:if Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 3 ) > 0 thensd := SubStr( sTg, Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 1 ) + 1, Instr( sTg,cDelim, 1, 2 ) - Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 1 ) - 1)end if;Has anybody converted anything similar to this within SQL Server? Anyhelp is GREATLY appreciated!Thanks.

Extracting Data From A Table For Archiving Purposes

Sep 22, 1999

Hello,

I have been placed in the position of administering our SQL server 6.5 (Microsoft). Being new to SQL and having some knowledge of databases (used to use Foxpro 2.6 for...DOS!) I am faced with an ever increasing table of incoming call information from our Ascend MAX RAS equipment. This table increases by 900,000 records a month. The previous administrator (no longer available) was using a Visual Foxpro 5 application to archive and remove the data older than 60 days. Unfortunately he left and took with him Visual Fox and all of his project files.

My question is this: Is there an easy way to archive then remove the data older than 60 days from the table? I would like to archive it to a tape drive. We need to maintain this archive for the purposes of searching back through customer calls for IP addresses on certain dates and times. We are an ISP, and occasionally need to give this information to law enforcement agencies. So we cannot just delete it.

Sorry this is so long...

Thanks,

1:m Database Relation Flattened For Reporting Purposes

Jul 20, 2005

--Example Schema posted at end of message:---For reporting purposes, I need to build a single comma delimited string ofvalues from the "many" tableof a database.The easiest way to see what I want is to look at the sample after mysignature.By the way, this is actually a busines problem, not homework! I justcreated a simpleexample using class and persons because everyone is familiar with thatrelationship.I have two tables on the 'one' side of the relationship: PERSON and CLASSThe ENROLLMENT table resolves the many to many relationship between PERSONand CLASS.(I know that a real system would be date effective, etc, but this is just asimple example.that will show my problem). ENROLLMENT has one row for each Class in which aPerson is enrolled.Look at the sample report: I have to "flatten" the join result and listthe class titles in acomma delimited string. I am stuck with this reporting requirement, and Iam NOT going to denormalizethe tables.One way to accomplish the result is to use a cursor to step through the rowsand build a "Classes"string with concatenation. I don't much like this option. I am not writingthe front end code,but I want to make it easy for the developer. Ideally, I would like to givehim a flattened viewso he can just do a simple join and run his report.I believe that what I want cannot be accomplished with ANSI SQL. However,does MS SQL have someextensions that could help me do the job? Failing that, how could I write astored procedure that wouldreturn the personID and the "Classes" string in a format that would bejoinable to the other tables?Thanks,Bill MacLeanP.S.

Instr (vbscript) Function Explanation ???

Jan 15, 2001

I went to Microsoft to find some info about the function Instr. I need to
perform a search with a string similar to their example I found below. Can
anyone explain to me Microsoft's example?? I am little confused by the
parameters used and the explanation it gives back to me??

Dim SearchString, SearchChar, MyPos
SearchString ="XXpXXpXXPXXP" ' String to search in.
SearchChar = "P" ' Search for "P".
MyPos = Instr(4, SearchString, SearchChar, 1) ' A textual comparison
starting at position 4. Returns 6.
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, SearchChar, 0) ' A binary comparison
starting at position 1. Returns 9.
MyPos = Instr(SearchString, SearchChar) ' Comparison is binary by default
(last argument is omitted). Returns 9.
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, "W") ' A binary comparison starting at
position 1. Returns 0 ("W" is not found).

My problem is this:

I need to scan within SearchString for blanks/spaces characters. When I
find one, then place the values to the left and right of it in seperate
columns. For example, I would need to scan 'John Smith A' and then place
'John' in FirstName column, 'Smith' in LastName column, and 'A' in MidName
column.

I think this is how my code would read, but I am confused on how to place
the results into my table to the correct columns?

my search string would be SearchString = 'John Smith A'
my SearchChar would be SearchChar = ' ' (note I am searching for a
space/blank character)

So would then my code be like:

Dim SearchString, SearchChar, MyPos
SearchString = 'John Smith A'
SearchChar = ' '
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, SearchChar, 0)

How do I get whatever is returned from the Instr function to a column in a
table??

Any help would be great.

Instr Function For MSQL Query

Jun 4, 2007

Hi All

My SQL is extremly rusted so I need some help with a very basic function. I have a character field which is built up using a category code + '-' + number. The problem I have is that the category codes are all different lengths and the items were added using 9 instead of 09. I'm trying to clean up the data so that the same item with e.g. category code DZ20 cannot be added as DZ20-1 and DZ20-01. How do I find the position of the '-' in the Query Analyser for MSSQL 2000?

Equivalent Of Oracle's INSTR( With 4 Parameters) In SQL Server

Feb 2, 2005

The syntax for Oracle's INSTR function is

instr (string1, string2, [start_position], [nth_appearance])

string1 is the string to search.

string2 is the substring to search for in string1.

start_position is the position in string1 where the search will start. This argument is optional. If omitted, it defaults to 1. The first position in the string is 1. If the start_position is negative, the function counts back start_position number of characters from the end of string1 and then searches towards the beginning of string1.

nth_appearance is the nth appearance of string2. This is optional. If omiited, it defaults to 1.

In SQL Server, we are having CHARINDEX and PATINDEX functions. But they will not accept the fourth paremeter (nth_appearance)

Do anybody know the solution for this ????

Reporting Services :: Getting Error Displayed When Using InStr

Nov 18, 2015

I have a field that contains a town  ex : New York. Sometimes, the field will have brackets to be more specific ex: New York (Brooklyn). What I need is a formula that will return only "Brooklyn" if there are brackets or  the whole field if there are no brackets.Here's what I thought would do the trick :

=Iif(InStr(First(Fields!Ville.Value, "MW1R017A_IdentificationTravailleur_AdresseTravailleur"), "(") > 0,
Left(Split(First(Fields!Ville.Value, "MW1R017A_IdentificationTravailleur_AdresseTravailleur"), "(")(1), len(Split(First(Fields!Ville.Value, "MW1R017A_IdentificationTravailleur_AdresseTravailleur"), "(")(1)) - 1)
, First(Fields!Ville.Value, "MW1R017A_IdentificationTravailleur_AdresseTravailleur"))

So if InStr returns more than 0, meaning that I have brackets, I'll split at the "(", get the second part and remove the last character which is the closing bracket I don't want. If there is no bracket, I'll return the whole field.Somehow, when there is no bracket, my report overview shows me "#Error" as if the first Iif was true and what's in the true part is not actually possible, because it's trying to take the second part of a split that couldn't split because there is no bracket to split.

Importing Report Content Direct To SQL Server For Testing Purposes

Jan 8, 2007

Hi

I have what seems a simple requirement. We want to import the contents of a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report into a SQL Server 2005 database, in order to perform some checks on reports displayed to users. Is there an easy way to achieve this? XML would seem appropriate, but I can't find a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this. Any pointers/suggestions would be appreciated.

Power Pivot :: How To Create Incrementing Sub Counter For (sort By Column) Purposes

Nov 16, 2015

I have a table ComponentPeriod. In it we have the combination of a component (e.g. A,B,C ) and a period (2014 Q1, 2014 Q2, 2014 January etc)I want the periods to be in descending order (2015 Q4, 2015 Dec, 2015 Nov, 2015 Oct, 2015 Q3 ... etc) and so I need to create a sequential number series to allow this to happen (as we can only order in the client tools by a single column - and so I guess the technique I'm looking for is used a lot to produce these types of "order by" columns)

I have done this in the past using

Period_Sequence =
calculate
(countrows(Period)
,filter
(Period
, Period[Start_Date] <= earlier(Period[Start_Date])
&& Period[Duration_String] = earlier(Period[Duration_String])
)
)

Which was fine when I was referring to a table where Periods where distinct directly but now I have denormalised this for ComponentPeriod so I need something a little more sophisticated Whats the best way to get a sequence with perhaps some partitions in across a subset of distinct columns (I guess from SUMMARIZE or similar)

E.g. I want

Period_Name, Type, Sequence
2015 Q4, Quarter, 1
2015 Dec, Month, 2
2015 Nov, Month, 3
2015 Oct, Month, 4
2015 Q3, Quarter, 5
2015 Sep, Month, 6
etc

even though there may be multiple records in ComponentPeriod that have the period 2015 Q4, but I want them all to have the value Sequence value of 1? I've got as far as:

Period_Sequence Desc =
calculate
(countrows(summarize(ComponentPeriod, ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date]))
,filter
( ComponentPeriod
, ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date] >= earlier(ComponentPeriod[Period_End_Date])
)
)

But this doesn't distinguish between the different types. I need an equivalent of the t-sql -

row_number() over (order by Period_End_Date desc, case when 'P3M' then 1 when 'P1M' then 2 end asc

Transact SQL :: STATIC Defines A Cursor That Makes Temporary Copy Of Data To Be Used By Cursor

Aug 12, 2015

In MSDN file I read about static cursor

STATIC
Defines a cursor that makes a temporary copy of the data to be used by the cursor. All requests to the cursor are answered from this temporary table in
tempdb; therefore, modifications made to base tables are not reflected in the data returned by fetches made to this cursor, and this cursor does not allow modifications

It say's that modifications is not allowed in the static cursor. I have a  questions regarding that

Static Cursor
declare ll cursor global static
            for select  name, salary from ag
  open ll
             fetch from ll
 
              while @@FETCH_STATUS=0
               fetch from ll
                update ag set salary=200 where 1=1
 
   close ll
deallocate ll

In "AG" table, "SALARY" was 100 for all the entries. When I run the Cursor, it showed the salary value as "100" correctly.After the cursor was closed, I run the query select * from AG.But the result had updated to salary 200 as given in the cursor. file says  modifications is not allowed in the static cursor.But I am able to update the data using static cursor.

Dynamic Cursor Versus Forward Only Cursor Gives Poor Performance

Jul 20, 2005

Hello,I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a tableB containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressedbelow in pseudo-code:"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)""fetch from A result set""select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option(fast 1)""fetch from B result set" repeated 10 timesIn the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current Arow. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the Aquery and retrieving only the first row.When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to havenested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to exploreother alternatives.I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructedfor the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but Ihave no way of finding out what that query plan is.All help appreciated.Kevin

I Have A Database On A Network Drive That I Use For Archiving Purposes, But When The Server Is Rebooted The Database Becomes Suspect.

I created the db with the attached script and I am able to access ituntil I reboot the server. I've tried enabling flag 1807 via the SQLserver service and the startup parameters of the instance. In allcases the database always come up suspect after a reboot. There wasone instance where I was able to recover, but I am not sure how thathappened.Does anyone have an idea of how I can reboot the server without thedatabase becomming suspect?USE MASTERGODBCC TRACEON(1807)GO--DBCC TRACEOFF(1807)--DBCC TRACESTATUS(1807)GOCREATE DATABASE ReadyNAS ON( NAME = ReadyNAS_Data,FILENAME = '\NAS1NASDiskSQL ServerReadyNASReadyNAS_Data.mdf',SIZE = 100MB,MAXSIZE = 20GB,FILEGROWTH = 20MB)LOG ON ( NAME = ReadyNAS_Log,FILENAME = '\NAS1NASDiskSQL ServerReadyNASReadyNAS_Log.ldf',SIZE = 20MB,MAXSIZE = 100MB,FILEGROWTH = 10MB)

Client Side Cursor Vs Sever Side Cursor?

Jul 20, 2005

I having a difficult time here trying to figure out what to do here.I need a way to scroll through a recordset and display the resultswith both forward and backward movement on a web page(PHP usingADO/COM)..I know that if I use a client side cursor all the records get shovedto the client everytime that stored procedure is executed..if thisdatabase grows big wont that be an issue?..I know that I can set up a server side cursor that will only send therecord I need to the front end but..Ive been reading around and a lot of people have been saying never touse a server side cursor because of peformance issues.So i guess im weighing network performance needs with the client sidecursor vs server performance with the server side cursor..I am reallyconfused..which one should I use?-Jim

Need Help With A Cursor

Jul 25, 2006

I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question, if not then I apologize.
I've got a SQL Server 2000 stored procedure that returns data to be used in a crystal report in Visual Studio 2005.  Most of the stored procedure works well, but there is a point where I need to calculate an average number of days been a group of date pairs. 
I'm not familiar with cursors, but I think that I will need to use one to achieve the result I am looking for so I came up with the code below which is a snippet from my stored procedure.  In this part of the code, the sp looks at the temporary table #lmreport (which holds all of the data that is returned at the end to crystal) and for every row in the table where the terrid is 'T' (the territory is domestic), it selects all of those territories from the territory table and loops through them to determine the date averages (by calling a nested stored procedure, also included below) for each territory and then updates #lmreport with that data.
When I try to run the stored procedure, I get "The column prefix '#lmreport' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query." on the line indicated. 
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong or if this will even work the way I need it to?
Thank you in advance.
