How Do I Split A Column Result By A Nonalphanumeric Character?
Jan 24, 2006
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.
Here's a question for the SQL gurus out there: I have a varchar(20) field DIAGNOSISCODE in a table that can either be null, or contain up to 3 comma-separated codes, each of which relates to a description in another table. For example, some sample rows might be 8060 8060,4450 8060,4123,3245 Now I need to structure a query to return these values from this single field as three fields CODE1, CODE2, CODE3, with NULL as appropriate for example CODE1=8060, CODE2=4450, CODE3=NULL. I have been using CASE along with CHARINDEX and PATINDEX but it it becoming extremely messy. Can anyone think of a "neater" way to return three fields from this one field? Any help very greatly appreciated. Thanks, Simon.
I have a table with a varchar column that is delimited by char(227)+char(228) i.e.,

Looking for split function that accepts a multiple character value as a delimiter?

I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name. CREATE TABLE Names (FirstName NVARCHAR (50), LastName NVARCHAR (50)); I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character. I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding. I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View. I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters. Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also? Thanks
int codePage = 950; StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder(); Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage); byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str); . message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':"); for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++) { message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars); }
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars)); Console.Writeline(message.ToString());

How can i write a query to split a database column and shows 2 new columns. In my database column I have 2 mixing items and need to split out to 2 columns.

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
Hi, I have a scenario, where I have a string column from database with value as "FTW*Christopher,Lawson|FTW*Bradley,James". In my report, I need to split this column at each " | " symbol and place each substring one below the other in one row of a report as shown below .
I have a company table with CompanyName and Address details. In the Company Name field - I have got companies with names like - 'The 1% Club', '99% Pure Water', 'The 1% Golfer' etc...
I want to search for Companies with % using the LIKE clause - Say for ex.
SELECT CompanyName from Company WHERE CompanyName LIKE 'The 1%%'
I was expecting the above query to return - All Companies starting with 'The 1%' - So from the above list - I expected it to return - 'The 1% Club' and 'The 1% Golfer'.
Unfortunately the query isn;t accepting % in the WHERE LIKE clause except for the wildcard character.
Is there a way out to escape the Wildcard Characters present in the Field Values while searching.
When generating a check constraint to guarantee that a character column cannot be blank is it best to use comparison operators such as col1 <> '' or to use LEN(col1) > 0? Note that the column in marked as not nullable.
