Is there a method for converting the first character of a account name to uppercase and the the remaining characters to lower case? I've used the substring procedure but for a name like 'MY NEW COMPANY', how could I convert it to 'My New Company' ?
Thanks,
Terry

what script must I use, as a part of CREATE TABLE, to automatically convert characters to UPPER case on insert?
I wrote <CHECK (country = UPPER (country)> in the CREATE TABLE, which was wrong,
because the values were still in the lower case.
The sample script is:
CREATE TABLE address
(street varchar(40),
city varchar(20),
state char (2),
zip varchar (10),
country varchar (20))
When a user types "Canada", I want the inserted value be "CANADA"
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am new to SQL and, unfortunately, actually do my work in Access 2003, but I have a question.
This is an example of what the data I am working with looks like:
AALADIN
AA-TACH EH65X, EH65V (V-Twin)
AA-TACH w/Robin 20 & 20.5 h.p. OHV
AA-TACH w/Wisc.-Robin EY21
ABI CONTRACTOR w/Honda 20 h.p. (V-Twin)
The all caps text strings at the beginning of the field need to end up in a separate field than the mixed strings, and the mixed strings need to stay together. The field length varies, as do the lengths of the all caps text strings. There are a lot of records, so I would be interested to know if there was a way to proceed without manually editing each line.

Hi,
I have a problem. I need to rename all columns of a database to uppercase. Since SQL SERVER 2005 does not support changing system tables is there a smooth way to do this? Has anyone ideas for a script? point me to the right direction.
I have found the stored procedure sp_rename which could be useful (or would it be better to alter the tables)...
So any help would be appriciated very much...

Almost all of our character fields are stored in upper-case. Is there an easy way to force SQL Server char and varchar fields to upper-case? Something I can do in SQL Server instead of in the client? It needs to apply to any new records.
There are some exceptions (email addresses for one). I don't mind going through each field and changing something.
Thanks!

Can we set the Uper/Lower case in server wide in SQL server 2000 as like case sensitive.
Thanks,
Ravi
Currently i have 2 type of data
A and a
But when i try to:
select * from tableA where col = 'a'
then all record with A and a will be selected, any way to avoid it and select only record with col ='a'?
While creating a table, can we default a column to be UPPER. So that even if we insert a lower case, it should be converted to UPPER case.

I can't create unique index like that:
1 - create table abc ( colZ varchar(10) )
2 - insert into abc values ( "test")
3 - insert into abc values ("Test")
4 - create unique index idx_abc on abc ( colZ ) -- This doesnt work
.... duplicate key was found for object name abc......
Is not there difference between "Test" and "test"?
Can I work around this?
cheers,

View 3 Replies View RelatedOur sql server 2005 database is receiving data from a third part program over which we have no control. We need to be able to automatically convert data entered in one column of one table to UPPER case only.
How can this be done in the table itself?
An IBM Global Services consultant is telling my client that in order to have SAP BI read any data from any other application supported by SQL Server 2005, that all tables and fields MUST be in UPPER CASE. This would mean that SAP BI could not read ANY data from AdventureWorks (which everyone needs ) but more importantly from 95% of applications written and stored on SQL Server. I find this to be ludicrious, frankly, but don't know how to find out if it is true. Anyone?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a case statement which I need to alter in my query. The field [sr.spec_value] contains either 1 or 0.

I have a query where I need to see in 2 seperate columns, the Actual date of deliveries and collections, and the Invoice Week number of the same. The problem is that in our ERP system delivery date (di.ddate) is a date field, and the collection date is nvarchar. This is my query and sample results below, as you can see I'm getting nulls for the collection lines. How can I do this efficiently
select di.dticket, di.item,
case di.item when 'DEL' then di.ddate when 'COL' then CONVERT(datetime,di.text2,103) end ActDate,
Case when di.item = 'DEL' then
(select YearWeek from MCSReports.RptRevenueGuideWeekLookup
where di.ddate between FromDate and ToDate) end InvWeek
from deltickitem di
where item in ('DEL','COL')
Sample results below:
dticket item ActDate InvWeek

Hello.
I have data in a SSIS package that I need to alter to something else.
The source column is a VARCHAR(3) column and it only contains two possible values, "ACT" or "CLS".
The destination column is a CHAR(1) column. Where the value of the source column is 'ACT' I want to put '1' in the destination and where the value of the source column is 'CLS' I want to put '0'.
I can do this easily in T-SQL using a CASE statement but the source data is an Ingres database and CASE isn't a valid SQL keyword.
Can I use a data conversion task to do this in SSIS? and if so, what's the syntax?
Thanks
How would I convert an expression like on of these to all upper case first letters with remaining letters lower case? VB has a function for that but sql doesn't seem to. I thought about having a loop go through each character to check for spaces. I've written a couple of similar pieces of code in VB when a while ago, but is there a better way? Thanks :)
Just a couple of typical examples of how the data should appear ~
payment, credit card ==> Payment, Credit Card
butcher & singer ==> Butcher & Singer
IN Sybase
SP_HELPSORT is Producing the following

Sort Order Description

Character Set = 2, cp850
Code Page 850 (Multilingual) character set.
Sort Order = 50, bin_cp850
Binary ordering, for use with Code Page 850 (cp850).
Characters, in Order
What would be equivalent in SQL Server 2000 .
PLease let me know the Colation Name ASAP.
Greatly appreciate your help

I have a stored procedure in which we are deriving some flags. So, we used series of CASE statements.
For examples
CASE
WHEN LEFT(CommissionerCode, 3) IN ('ABC','DEF',...) THEN 1
WHEN PracticeCode IN (.......) THEN 1
WHEN (CommissionerCode IN (.....) OR PracticeCode NOT IN (.....) OR .....) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
I need to put these conditions in config table and generate dynamic sql. What is the best way to do this? especially, 3rd condition with OR logic with multiple columns involved.

Hi All,
I have SQL query as:
SELECT CASE @sortcolumn
WHEN 'TYPE' THEN TYPE_TXT
WHEN 'DATE' THEN CHECKOUT_TS
WHEN 'ACCT' THEN ACCT_NBR
WHEN 'FIRST' THEN FIRST_NM
WHEN 'LAST' THEN LAST_NM
WHEN 'DAYS' THEN DATEDIFF(dd, CHECKOUT_TS, GETDATE())
ELSE DELIVER_ID END
FROM REQUEST
If @sortcolumn has 'DATE' or 'DAYS' it runs fine....any other value, I get an exception "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string". All columns except CHECKOUT_TS are of type varchar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi

Is there a way I can have all entries in a table automatically in caps once entered by user, import or any other way ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I was wondering what more experienced DBAs have observed with regard to the capacity of a MSSQL DB. Is there an upper threshold of rows where performance becomes unacceptable? I have a fairly slow, but constant input rate of approximately 2,000 rows every 60 seconds or so (that is a little high, but I'm interested in worse case scenario here). That is up 172,800 rows a day. (I'm being overly pessimistic here.) We'd like to be able to keep all of this around as long as possible.
Or would a more heavy duty DB be in order for these sorts of data rates?
Hi expert, I would like to ask regarding the UPPER function in SQL Query. I was tryin' to create a scipt that will give me a result of all the names that are in UPPER case format, but when I tried to execute the script the result is not right, it also retrieves all the records that are in PROPER case.
SQL Script:
SELECT id, name FROM table_1 WHERE UPPER(name) LIKE 'DAR%'
Result:
ID NAME

Hi;
I have a stored procedure :
<code>
Create Procedure ControlDept
(
@DeptID nvarchar(10)
)
As
If Exists
(
Select DeptName From Departments Where
DeptID LIKE @DeptID
)
Return 1
Else
Return 0
Now I want to apply replace and upper functions to DeptID in database before saying
"DeptID LIKE @DeptID".
for example the parameter is :"D&V"
DeptID in database is:"d & v" //there are spaces
if I say DeptID LIKE @DeptID nothing is found because of character nonmatching
So I have to apply replace & upper functions to the column DeptID in database
but how?
can you help me please??
We want to covert all reserved words
in procedures to upper case,any suggestions ?
