How can I generate the result using typical SQL statement based on the following tables?
Table a - Salesman (salesId, Name) pk : salesId
Table b - Invoice(InvoiceNo, salesId, InvoiceAmt) pk : invoiceNo fk : salesId -> Table a
The result set :
salesId, Name, sum(InvoiceAmt), InvoiceNos with comma separator
For example:
Table a
SalesId Name
S001 Peter
S002 Alice
Table b
InvoiceNo SalesId InvoiceAmt
INV001 S001 $100
INV002 S001 $100
INV003 S001 $400
INV004 S002 $200
Result set
SalesId Name Sum(InvoiceAmt) InvoiceNos
S001 Peter $600 INV001, INV002, INV003
S002 Alice $200 INV004
Is there a way to extract the date part (11/27/2012) of a datetime/time stamp column (11/27/2012 00:00:00.000) and keep it in a date format?
The code i have below extracts the date part of a timestamp column and converts it to a char field. This becomes a problem when I joing the resultant table with a SAS dataset which contains the same column but is in a date format. The join process generates an error saying the column is in different formats.
Hi,This is driving me nuts, I have a table that stores notes regarding anoperation in an IMAGE data type field in MS SQL Server 2000.I can read and write no problem using Access using the StrConv function andI can Update the field correctly in T-SQL using:DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(BITS_data)FROM mytable_BINARY WHERE ID = 'RB215'WRITETEXT OPERATION_BINARY.BITS @ptrval 'My notes for this operation'However, I just can not seem to be able to convert back to text theinformation once it is stored using T-SQL.My selects keep returning bin data.How to do this! Thanks for your help.SD

I need to pass in null/blank value in the date field or declare the field as string and convert date back to string.
I tried the 2nd option but I am having trouble converting the two digits of the recordset (rs_get_msp_info(2), 1, 2))) into a four digit yr. But it will only the yr in two digits. The mfg_start_date is delcared as a string variable
option 1 I will have to declare the mfg_start_date as date but I need to send in a blank value for this variable in the stored procedure. It won't accept a null or blank value.
I have a table with a column that is currently a varchar(50), but I want to convert it into an int. When I try to just change the type in design mode I get an error that conversion cannot proceed. When I look at the field it appears some of the entries have special characters appended at the end, I see a box after the value.
How can I remove all speical characters and then convert that field to an int?
Also I tried the following query which did not work as well, same error about conversion.
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql. When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example: http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited? Could it be something else? Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, Chris
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.
I have a column in a table that has a type TEXT,when I pull the length of a row it returns 88222 but when I select from that column it dows not show all the text in the result set.
I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000. The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import? I would appreciate any pointers.
I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark
i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL Server database.
I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for example.
Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13)) then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not pasted for some reason.
I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem. I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.
Since i've no experience of using different types of databases interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds? I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!
Can anyone point me any solution how to export a MEMO field from an Access database to a TEXT field from an MS SQL Server 2000. The import export tool from SQL server doesn't import these fields if they are very large - around 9000 characters.
Hi,I been reading various web pages trying to figure out how I can extract some simple information from the XML below, but at present I cannot understand it. I have a MS SQL 2005 database with which contains a field of type text (external database so field type cannot be changed to XML)The text field in the database is similar to the one below but I have simplified it by remove many of the unneeded tags in the <before> and <after> blocks. I also reformatted it to show the structure (original had no spaces or returns) For each text field in the SQL table contain the XML I need to know the OldVal and the NewVal. <ProductMergeAudit> <before> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="OldVal"> </table> </before> <after> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="NewVal"> </table> </after></ProductMergeAudit>
I am very new to using SQL. Our department usually uses Brio to query the various databases under our control. However, I have recently come against a problem that prompted me to create a custom SQL query which works well as far as it goes. My problem is looking for specific conditions in billing information I receive monthly. I would like to compare on of the date fields contained in the database with a field in the form of YYYYMM (200710, for October 2007) I have created a custom column generator that forms a date from the YYYYMM. I would like, however, do the translation on the fly and make the comparison during the query. The problem is that query without the date check returns a mass of data, only about 1 percent of which is what I want.
The beginning of the SQL query looks like this:
FROM From.T_Crs_Tran_Dtl WHERE T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo IN ('200710', '200711', '200712') AND ((T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Crs_Cde IN ('1G', '1V') AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde IN (' ', 'TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde IN ('TK', 'TL') AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Std_Tran_Typ_Cde='B') OR (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Prev_Stats_Cde='UN' AND T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Cur_Stats_Cde='XX' AND
It is the (T_Crs_Tran_Dtl.Dptr_Dte < LastDay(ToDate(Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 5, 2 )& "/1/"&Substr ( Crs_Bill_Yr_Mo, 1, 4 )))) AND? part of the query that is just plain wrong. The business part of this statement takes the YYYYMM field and turns it into a date which is the last day of YYYYMM.
I hope someone out there can help me with making this comparison.
I am attempting to write a script to add onto the end of a text field the words " -- Disposed " (About 60 rows worth). The field is a TEXT field, so unlike a varchar field I can't just use Update as shown below.
Code:
Update AR_Primary_asset Set AR_Primary_asset.description = AR_Primary_asset.description + ' -- Disposed' Where AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in ('1','2','4')
I found on the Mircosoft pages about UPDATETEXT, but this only seem to work to update one row (In the case below Asset_ref = 3, was the only row effected) .
Code:
DECLARE @Dispose binary(16) SELECT @Dispose = TEXTPTR(DESCRIPTION) FROM AR_PRIMARY_ASSET WHERE AR_Primary_Asset.ASSET_REF in ('1','2','3')
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[instructions]( [site_no] [int] NOT NULL, [instructions] [text] NULL ) Select top 3 * from instructions
Output
Site_noInstructions 20Request PIN then proceed 21Request PIN if wrong request name 22Request PIN allowed to use only numbers
All text instructions start with “Request PIN” but after that the text are different for every site_no
I need insert in all site_no rows and after the “Request PIN” the text “and codeword” keeping the current rest of text
Desired output
Site_noInstructions 20Request PIN and codeword then proceed 21Request PIN and codeword if wrong request name 22Request PIN and codeword allowed to use only numbers
Hi, I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Application is ocr'ing tiff image files and then storing the resultant text data in a text field in SQL 2005 database. This field is then used with the full text catalog.
All works fine,
However, am I using the correct field type to store the text files for efficiency and space saving?
If I use a binary field, does this reduce the size of the database by compressing the text data in the binary field? Also, is there a limit as to the size of text file that I could store in a binary field?
It would be good to get feedback on this before I go too far down the wrong road.
So, text field to store the text data or binary field to store the actual text file?
Hello. I'm wondering how I CONVERT or CAST a column of type TEXT to INT with T-SQL ?
Also, is there anyway to catch an error in a Stored Procedure. For example if you try to convert a CHAR column to INT when the column has an 'a' in it, can I try to convert and if it did't work I do something else ? Or is there a way to check if a column has only numbers ?
Thanks for any help, the CONVERT Text to Int is the most urgent ...

I have an image data type in a table (it is a digital signature) and one of my users wants me to search the image data and see how many people have a certain attribute in their digital signature. I know the image data is HEX, but how, in query analyzer, can I view it as the XML digital signature data that it really is? So, how can I convert hex to text in sql server?
I'm not entirely sure that this is the correct forum for this question but it relates to my SSIS package.
I am currently implementing an SSIS package to replace an existing stored procedure which is getting very unmanageable. I have come across a part in the stored procedure which performs a convert(datetime, @Parameter3, 14) on a string of data. The string value of @Parameter3 is in the following format HH:mm:ss.
The problem i am having is how to implement similar functionality in a script task. everything i have tried involving the datetime object returns 1,1,0001, 00:00:00 or similar. It never seems to get the time so that it can be passed to a datetime field in the database.
Hi all iam trying to but a varchar variable into a TEXT var but i get this error "The assignment operator operation cannot take a text data type as an argument"
I want to merge data from two different tables that have the same column names but different datatypes.
Table one has a varchar field pubdate_full that includes a date formatted as text like this: '2005-04-15'.
Table two has a smalldatetime field called Hard_NYP and a varchar pubdate field that includes just the year (eg '2007').
I want to Select data in table two and return a pubdate_full field that has either the datepub or the Hard_due. If the Hard_due is not null or '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM' then I want to fill pubdate_full with that value, otherwise fill it with the pubdate value.
This works in that regard:
SELECT Hard_due, datepub CASE WHEN (Hard_due <> '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM') AND (Hard_due IS NOT NULL) THEN Hard_Due ELSE datepub END AS pubdate_full from inventory
The question is, how do I convert pubdate_full on the fly to be the same format and datatype as the Table one pubdate_full or vice versa in order to be able to merge the two tables?
