How do you include a word with an apostrophe in an SQL in statement without getting an error msg? For example this syntax:
where provname1 IN ('Children's')
With that syntax above, I would get an error message.
I have a insert statement but one of the strings contains a apostrophe. If I leave the apostrophe in an error occurs becuase it thinks that it is the end of the string. What is the proper syntax for including apostrophes in a string?
Thanks.
How do you treat the data when there is an apostrophe?
Example:
Update Table
Set Field = (Select Case Field
When 'Owner's' Then 'Owned By'
Else Field
End)
I wanted to create something like this:Select (FirstItem + "/" + SecondItem) AS Itembut I get error. Is there anything wrong with this code?P.S. I'm using mssql 2000
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a query where i need to return a max value based on a select but one of the fields i need to return in the results is the records primary key ID No. This messes up the MAX bit and means that all results are returned, not just the max one.
The query i'm using is very long so i've simplified what i mean by the example below. Say i have a table 'Fruits':
ID FruitName Cost1 Apple 0.452 Apple 0.633 Apple 0.524 Pear 0.895 Pear 0.83
And run the query:
select max(Cost),FruitName From Fruitsgroup by FruitName
It'll correctly return:
FruitName CostApple 0.63Pear 0.89
Now i need the ID also returned by my query so i go:
select max(Cost),FruitName,ID From Fruitsgroup by FruitName,ID
This doesnt return the above results with the ID appended to it, it instead returns:
ID FruitName Cost1 Apple 0.452 Apple 0.633 Apple 0.524 Pear 0.895 Pear 0.83
As the ID is always distinct and therefore messes up the grouping. How in this instance would i return the correct result of:
ID FruitName Cost2 Apple 0.634 Pear 0.89
Thanks.
I want to do an update query like the following:UPDATE tblUserDetails SET DeploymentNameID = 102 WHERE (EmployeeNumber = @selectedusersparam)Is there some simple way to add the @selectedusersparam as value1,value2,value3 etc. or do I have to input it with this type of syntax:UPDATE dbo_tblUserDetails SET dbo_tblUserDetails.DeploymentNameID = 102WHERE (((dbo_tblUserDetails.EmployeeNumber)=value1 Or (dbo_tblUserDetails.EmployeeNumber)=value2));Help appreciated.Many thanks.

This is my code and all works great except when there is an apostriphe in the logon name.
Example: MRPJUser ( works greate )

Im having a slight problem with my Like statement, I'm just building a simple search/match routine. I have the following SQL statement SELECT TOP(4) tags FROM post WHERE atags LIKE '%test%'that statement is ok, it will return many results with test in it but if I add more then one search word like LIKE '%+test test2+%' or LIKE '%+test%test2+%' All I seem to get is results that only have the exact two tags not any others that may have one of them.How can I get it to display all records that have an instance of any of those words. Any help would be much appreciated.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI know the word 'With' is a SQL Reserved; I created a SQL Script Generator that creates insert statements to copy data from one SQL Server database to another. If a row contains the word 'with' or 'With' the insert statement fails. Is there a way around this? The script is executed in the Query Analyzer window of SQL Server.
The record below is an example of a row that fails.
Insert Into [Contact] ([Active],[AddressID],[Birthday],[Birthmonth],[ContactType],[CreatedBy],[CreatedDate],[Description],[Employed],[FirstName],[HasResume],[LastName],[MiddleName],[ModifiedBy],[ModifiedDate],[Personality],[RowVersion])
Values ('False', 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, '', 'Wants to get back with Van Halen', 'False', 'David', 'False', 'Roth', 'Lee', '', '', '', '')
The error message shown is:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.

I am required to find or check that a specific word exists in string or not.
Suppose I have to find the word 'st' than I need the result true if and only if the following occurrences are there.
1. 'St is valid;' -> true
2. 'DOB is valid;ST is invalid;' -> true
3. 'DOB is valid; ST is invalid;' -> true
4. 'DOB is valid;invalid ST;' -> true
5. 'DOB is valid; invalid ST;' -> true
6. 'DOB is valid; invalid STate;' -> false
Means the exact ST should be search. It is not free text search.
T-SQL is needed to be used in select statement with case using PATINDEX, RegEx or any suitable t-sql command.
We use a lot of virtual machines. I have a base VM with SQL 2005 installed. I rename this VM (i have multiple copies running) and run an old application (VB code, iterates through recordsets, etc.).
I get: Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find server '2K3VM-DG' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
This makes sense, and I can fix it with sp_dropserver / sp_addserver [local]. Good.
The next error is puzzling though:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The cursor does not include the table being modified or the table is not updatable through the cursor.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Hello,
I have a SQL Task that executes some stored procedure. When a condition is met the stored procedure raises an error by calling RAISERROR (@ErrorMessage,16,1). Following the SQL Task I have Send Mail Task that sends an error email.

Hi,
I am trying to write a function which takes a string as input and returns the computed value.
I need to use the output of this function as a coulmn in another select query.
Here is the code (Example: @Equation = '(100*4)+12/272')
create function dbo.calc(@Equation nvarchar(100))
returns float
as
begin
return exec('SELECT CAST('+@Equation+' AS float)')
end
I am getting this error when i compile it
"RETURN statements in scalar valued functions must include an argument"
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Please respond
Thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor demonstration I created a fulltext index on table employee in Northwind database.
The following query gives an error:
SELECT * FROM employees
WHERE CONTAINS (FirstName, 'Barbe')
Replacing 'Barbe' by 'Barb' or other words it works fine.
The error message is (I have a french version of SQL installed, here the translation: "A clause in the query contains only ignored words"
Une clause de la requête ne contient que des mots ignorés)
Language for wordbreak in fulltext index is French and the error happens only with French, with English it works.
Is this a Microsoft bug?
hi!
I'm just wondering does anyone know how to create an sql command that can search word by word?
what i mean is like I have a product with name 'harry potter broom'.
I want an sql command where if i type only 'harry broom' this 'harry potter broom' product will show up.
Does anyone have any idea?
Here's my sql comand: (I'm using asp.net vb script do develop this system)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
query = "select distinct * from product where " & _
"(pname like '%" & keyword & "%' or " & _
"pdesc like '%" & keyword & "%' ) and " & _
"(price >= " & price1 & " and price <= " & price2 & _
") and status <> 'out of stock' order by price asc"

Thank you.
Hello experts. I have been searching for anything about this but found very little. What are the events logged in SQL Server Error Logs aside from Successful/Failed Login, Backup/Restore/Recover database and, start/init sql server? Can we configure this to log other events, like CREATE or DBCC events for example? If so, how? Thanks a lot.

Hi Friends,
I have stored names with ' s (Apostrophes) and without 's in the database(sqlserver).Example:O'Relly
I tried to get the values with select statement like
Dim str As String = Request.QueryString("Title")
Dim query As String = "SELECT * FROM Test where title like '" + str + "'"
Problem is getting the all the values from database except O'Relly just getting O other word Relly no.....
What should do I and what code do I need ..?
I tried with the below code also
Dim x As Long
For x = 1 To Len(str)
If Mid$(str, x, 1) = "'" Then
str = str & "''"
Else
str = str & Mid(title1, x, 1)
End If

I need help with a simple query. We have 86 entries with the City of O'Fallon in our db. How do I do this with the apostrophe in O'Fallon? Below is just to give an idea of what I want. Thanks.
SELECT *
FROM Organization
WHERE City=O'Fallon
I get this error when the user inputs a word with an apostrophe:
Incorrect syntax near 't'. Unclosed quotation mark before the character string '
Using c# this is the input command:
oCom=new SqlCommand(string.Format("INSERT INTO [database] ([name],[address], [issue],[comments],[timestamp]) VALUES({0},'{1}','{2}','{3}','{4}",val[0],val[1],val[2],txtComment.Text,tmStamp),oCon);
When users enter a comment with an aprostrophe it gives me an error, using a session array and convert it to a string[].
Any ideas?
Thanks
we need to cut the aprostrophe out of a name (ie...o'brien, o'leary) to create userid's... can this be done....thanks!

Can anyone tell me how to replace a single apostrophe in a record with a double apostrophe (in Query Analyzer, SQL7)? I've tried "select replace("d'","d'","d''")FROM RESORT" but it doesn't UPDATE the table.
Suggestions gratefully received!

Ok, I still have some uncertainty as to just exactly how this whole apostrophe thing works with databases. I understand that it is a reserved character and so when a sql query runs into one of these creatures it looks at it as something other than a normal character.
I am working primarily in vb/asp/sql server with a little bit of access. I am familiar with the instrinsic 'Replace' function and I use it but I still have occassional problems.
I would like any information I can get on just exactly why/how this thing works and how to work-around the apostrophe when writing to, reading from, and validating data from sql server/access/any databases.
Thanks!
I am having weird trouble with READING data from my Access database where the field has an apostrophe - but only when I display the field in a textbox.
For example, the field "Don't do this" becomes "Don" when my SQL query outputs the result:
campaignID = rscampaign("campaign")
response.write "<input type='hidden' name='campaignid1' value='" & campaignID & "'>"
If I output to regular HTML (e.g. in a <P> tag), the field displays correcly.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem? I can't figure out why the textbox would be creating this problem...
replace(lastname," ' '",'"x"') (spaces for clarity only)
Result:
Invalid column name ' ' '.
How do I get around the invalid column name?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Hey I have what I think is a simple question. How would i insert an apostrophe into a sql string without getting an error. Thanks in advance
View 5 Replies View RelatedOK so I need to use a dynamic SQL statement in a SqlDataSource object because I need to pass in the column name. I'm having trouble accounting for the apostophes I have to interpret literals within the statement. This is connecting to an Oracle database.
This is what I originally tried...
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT m.YIE, :selecteditem, m.ENDTIME FROM MyMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE 'YC%' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE 'YCX%' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="selecteditem" ControlID="itemlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
And the second column returned as :selecteditem for the column name and the value of itemlabel.text (what I wanted to be the column that was queried) as the value in each of the rows of that column. So I tried dynamic SQL to put the value of itemlabel.txt as the column to be queried, but I'm not sure how to get the query to read the literals. How can I accomplish this?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceMine" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:My_Connection_String %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MY_Connection_String.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="EXEC('SELECT m.YIE, '+selectedbin+', m.ENDTIME FROM MMAP.MAP_M_SUM m WHERE (m.GROUPID LIKE '+paramlike+' AND m.GROUPID NOT LIKE '+paramnotlike+' AND m.ENDTIME >= SYSDATE-14)')"> <SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="selectedbin" ControlID="binlabel" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramlike" ControlID="Label1" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="paramnotlike" ControlID="Label2" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
This errors to "illegal variable name"
Can someone help me out please? Thanks a lot.

Hi all,I am not sure this question will belong to a sql group or .net.but the problem I have is, my data entry forms crashes when some enter a apostrophe character in one of the field. that field is of type varchar in sql server 2000.for ex, Ryan O'neill will crash the application.
I have a drop down list of all my crew names in my form.what should I need to do to allow user to add apostrophe and not to have application crash?Please help it is very urgent.Thank You,
I have a brain teaser for you all.
The end result: I need one of the columns in my result set (col2) to have a preceeding apostrophe (i.e., '001234 ).
The problem: I am building my query as a string and then using the EXEC() function to execute it. For example:
SET @strSQL = 'SELECT col1, col2 FROM mytable'
EXEC(@strSQL)
Just to tame any answers that might not be directed to the specific question, the query Must be built as a string and then executed.
I have been unable to obtain the solution and I am wondering if it is even possible?
TIA
