Hi to all, I am having a string like (234) 522-4342. i have to remove the non numeric characters from the above string. Please help me in this regards. Thanks in advance. M.ArulMani
I am looking for the fastest way to strip non-numeric characters from a string.
I have a user database that has a column (USER_TELNO) in which the user can drop a telephone number (for example '+31 (0)12-123 456'). An extra computed column (FORMATTED_TELNO) should contain the formatted telephone number (31012123456 in the example)
Note: the column FORMATTED_TELNO must be indexed, so the UDF in the computed column has WITH SCHEMABINDING.... I think this implicates that a CLR call won't work....
I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'
Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN*** Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire Example Record 3. Stockport
How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?
The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0 THEN LEN(Address ) ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0 THEN LEN(Address) ELSE CHARINDEX('*' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test2'
I'm presented with a problem where I have a database table which must be migrated via a "custom tool", moving the data into a new table which has special character requirements that didn't exist in the source database. My data resides in an SQL Server 2008R2 instance.
I envision a one-time query which will loop through selected records and replace the offending characters with --, however I'm having trouble understanding how this works.
There are roughly 2500 records which meet the criteria of "contains bad characters", frequently containing multiple separate bad chars, and the table contains roughly 100000 rows.
Special Characters are defined as #%&*:<>?/{}|~ and ..
While the field is called "Filename" it isn't always so, it is a parent/child table where foldernames are also stored.
The examples I'm finding are all oriented around SELECT statements, to change the output of what I see returned, however I'd rather just fix the entire column using an UPDATE. Initial testing using REPLACE fails because I don't always have a single character as the bad thing in a string.
In a better solution, I found an example using a User Defined Function to modify the output of a select, but I cannot use that UDF in an UPDATE.
My alternative is to learn enough C# to modify the "migration tool" to do this in-transit, but I know even less about C# than I do of SQL.
I gather I want to use @@ROWCOUNT to loop through the rows but I really can't put it all together in a cohesive way.
As part of a data search project I need to be able to strip all non numeric characters from a text field. The field contains various forms of phone number in various formats. In order to search on it I am going to remove all non numeric characters from the input criteria and from the data being searched.
In order to do this I decided on using a SQL Server custom function: Pass in field. Loop through all chars, test against asci values for number range. return only numernic data concatenated into a string.
Are there any other more efficient ways of going about this?
I am unfamiliar with the built-in functions in SQL Server. I would like to display a numeric field with leading zeros. In oracle the sql stmt would be:
Problem about pass a big string (over 8000 characters) to a variable nvarchar(max) in stored procedure in SQL 2005! I know that SQL 2005 define a new field nvarchar(max) which can stored 2G size string. I have made a stored procedure Hellocw_ImportBookmark, but when I pass a big string to @Insertcontent , the stored procedure can't be launch! why? create procedure Hellocw_ImportBookmark @userId varchar(80), @FolderId varchar(80), @Insertcontent nvarchar(max) as declare @contentsql nvarchar(max); set @contentsql=N'update cw_bookmark set Bookmark.modify(''declare namespace x="http://www.hellocw.com/onlinebookmark"; insert '+ @Insertcontent+' as last into (//x:Folder[@Id="'+@FolderId+'"])[1]'') where userId='''+@userID+''''; exec sp_executesql @contentsql;

I'm attempting to move data from a text field to a numeric field, but I need to be able to remove any non-numeric characters in that field first, but I do not want to lose the numeric data.
In the code below, the Value table is the table that will be converted.
INSERT INTO IntegerValues (FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision) SELECT FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision FROM StringValues WHERE FK_FieldID in (select id from ##tmpFields)
How do I remove the first 5 characters from a column?
I have a list of id's - 9999925173 9999924037 9999924063 9999924053 9999924053 0 0 9999924053 9999924049 9999924037 9999944659 9999924053 0 9999924032 9999924037 9999924053
For some reason, we add a 99999 to our ID's and in order to compare to the customers data, I need to remove the 99999 (if they exist) from the column. How would I do that? LEN?
I need extracting string that is between certain characters that are in certain position.
Here is the DDL:
DROP TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest] CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]( [StoreNumber] [varchar](50) NULL, [StoreNumberParsed] [varchar](50) NULL) INSERT INTO [dbo].[StoreNumberTest]
[Code] ....
What I need to accomplish is to extract the string that is between the third and fifth '-' (dash) and insert it into the StoreNumberParsed while eliminating the fourth dash.
Sample output would be:
KY117 CA132 OH174 MD163 FL191
I know that parse, charindex, patindex all might come in play, but not sure how to construct the statement.
Hi all, I have a stored procedure that generates the following SQL WHERE clause UserName LIKE 'Adi234%' AND Fname LIKE 'David%' AND LName LIKE 'Justin%' AND It is good except that it i can not remove the last AND which is not neccessary at the end of the clause. I want to remove the last AND that come up at the end, my code places AND after each data field(UserName, Fname, Lname) .
I am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.
"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.
I have a varchar field which contains some Greek characters (α, β, γ, etc...) among the regular Latin characters. I need to replace these characters with a word (alpha, beta, gamma etc...). When I try to do this, I find that it is also replacing some of the Latin characters.
Hi I have a table with a few hundred emailadresses. How can I delete all quotes (') from the addresses, so that 'email@email.com' is replaced as email@email.com. Thank you zipfeli
I have built a SSIS package that reads in data from a SQL Server 2005 source database into a flat file destination. The Row Delimiter is {CR}{LF}. The Column Delimiter is Tab {t}.
The data being read from the SQL Server database contains both {CR}{LF} and Tab {t} characters in various fields on several rows.
How can I process the input data from the SQL Server to remove these characters before passing it to the destination output file?
Sorry if this is obvious to all, but I am only just starting with SSIS...
0 AS SalaryMin, 2088 AS SalaryMax, 2088 AS BillableHours, 'Month' AS SalaryPaidCode, 0 AS SalaryBreakdownHourly, 0 AS SalaryBreakdownDaily,
[Code] ...
While outputting to CSV.file
I got :0,2088,2088,"Month",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"N/A","N/A","G","N/A","Exempt","Other",1
How can I remove all double quotes in the string fields? so that O can get the result as below while the output 0,2088,2088,Month,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,N/A,N/A,G,N/A,Exempt,Other,1
