Trying to update part of a field. Currently using ColdFusion 4.0 and SQL Server 7.0.
My field looks something like this: ABC.DEF.GHI and I just want to update the last 3 characters, GHI. The length of the field may change so it's not going to be 11 characters long.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello all,
I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:
Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.
I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.
It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.
So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.
Thanks for the help in advance!

View 1 Replies View RelatedHey all,
I want to set a filter in my statement. Normally it is no problem, but this time I want to set a filter only on a part of the field.
For example:
In my table with ordernumbers, I have orders with are starting with 'FO', VO' (FO0001, FOO0002, VO0001, VO0002, ect etc)
I want to set a filter in my statement that I only wish to see the ordernumbers starting with 'FO'.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I got a problem which looks like the same with a futher topic of me (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1156355&SiteID=1), but this one is a little bit more difficult.
I want to set a filter on a field, but the it must set a filter on a part of the field. I think it will be more clear with an example:
I have a list with ItemNumbers and ItemDescriptions.
ItemNo ItemDescription
1 Pineapple yellow
2 Cauliflower size 6
3 Orange sweet yellow
etc. etc.
Now I want that the user of this report can set a filter just by entering a part of the description. So, if he enters 'flower' he only see the cauliflower. If he enters 'yellow' he only see the pineapple and the orange, etc. etc. If a blank value is left, all the item must be shown.
Can some one help me out by solving this problem??
Thx a lot

new question about an old topic (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1232451&SiteID=1):

After this, Jarret, suggest to me to insert the next code into my query:
where ItemDescription like '%' + @ItemDescParam + '%'
This helped, but I want to have 2 options extra:
1) The part of the description which the user inserts must be independent of capitals
2) It also have to be possible that the user inserts more than one part. For example "pine" and "fellow"
Can some one help me out?

I'm trying to extract the time part of a smalldatetime field in a usprocedure to return just the time. I've used Datepart() to get the hours or minutes but you can't get both without getting messy. Anyone know a way to keep it neat & simple?

I would like to know the best way of returning just the Date part (dd/mm/yyyy) of a DateTime field using T-SQL. I know that some methods mean that you lose the indexing if the field is indexed. Which is the best way to do this in T-SQL whilst preserving the indexing? I'm using SQL Server 2005.

I have a table called 'wp_postmeta' (Wordpress) which contains a column called 'meta_value'. A typical field in this column looks like this:

Dear all,
I have an application where I need to implement a Team Shift management.
The team shift table need to be defined as follow :
Shift table
=========
Id DateTime IsCurrent
1 08:00:00 True
2 16:00:00 False
3 00:00:00 False
From the table above the current running shift is Id = 1
Based on that I have following question:
1 - Is there a way to specified for a DateTime field that it will recieved only Time part ?
2 - When a shift change occurs, I need to compare the Current time with the time shift in the table. Then according to that I set the IsCurrent flag to proper new Shift ID.. how to perform this ?
Thnaks for your help

Hi all I was wondering whether it was possible to remove or delete part of a String in a Field? Lets take for example I have:
- A Table called: Table_1
- A Field called: MyField
- MyField contains the value: Hello I am on the msdn forums
Is it possible to perform an UPDATE Query which deletes part of that sentence? If this was hard coded it would be rather simple but if the phrase was changing which would lead to the sentence also changing is it possible to do this?
Lets say I wanted to remove the part which said msdn forums. Then UPDATE the field again which should leave out the bit msdn forums.
Appreciate the responses, Onam.
I have a very large CSV file containing name-and-address information which I am reading in a Visual Basic project using the Microsoft.JetOLEDB.4.0 provider.
The key field on which the CSV file is to be filtered is the PostCode field. This is a UK-format PostCode "XXnn Nxx" where "XX" is one or more letters denoting a geographical area within the UK and "nn" is one or more characters (starting with at least one numeric digit) which when combined with the area code denotes a specific district within the geographical area. My aim is to identify all the unique UK postal districts held within my address CSV file.
Because I do not know how to use SQL to filter on the partial contents of a database field I am presently reduced to extracting unique full PostCodes using "SELECT DISTINCT PostCode,City,County FROM [ADDRESSES.csv]" into a DataTable object, then sequentially reading that DataTable using the operation of a dictionary object to identify unique PostCode areas, to finally construct the DataTable I need.
Is it possible in SQL to select records where the value of a varying number of characters before a space character in a given (PostCode) field is unique?
I have a table with a datetime field (named "lnDateDone") and an integer field (named "PlannedHour"). I want to build a new datetime field with the same value as lnDateDone and replacing the hour part by the PlannedHour field. Example:
lnDateDone = '2014-04-09 13:22:31.544'
HourPlanned = 14
new datetime field = '2014-04-09 14:00:00'
I tried the following:
CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(lnDateDone AS VARCHAR(25)),1,12) + CAST(PlannedHour AS VARCHAR(2)) + SUBSTRING(CAST(lnDateDone AS VARCHAR(25)), 15, LEN(lnDateHeureFin)) AS SMALLDATETIME) AS DatePrevue
but it won't work when casted in DateTime format, only in varchar, but I want it in datetime as I need to do compute some values using date manipulation functions.
How can I do that?
from this, circdate being a datetime field:SQLQuery = "select distinct circdate from circdata order by circdate"I need the distinct date portion excluding the time part.this has come about when I discoveredI am inserting and updating some datetime values with the same value,but for some reason, the values are always off by a few seconds. I seta variable called SetNow assigned to NOW and then set the datetimefields to this SetNow variable. Then when I collect the distinct datetime I am assuming they will have the same values recorded incircdate, but no, they are off by several seconds. Makes no sense to meat all. I tried renaming the variable several times but it makes nodifference at all.any help appreciated, thanks.

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.
convert(char(15), process_date,112) as process_dt

All other fields are updating ok and I'm not getting an error.I am trying to update a date and time (smalldatetime) using a stored procedure.First, the info to be updated comes from a datagrid.
Dim sDate As DateTime
sDate = CType(e.Item.FindControl("tDate"), TextBox).TextThen, passed to the SQLDal class and then to the stored procedure.....
Public Function updateData(ByVal sDate As DateTime, ByVal sp As String) 'Some items snipped for easier read
Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(sp, conn) 'Where sp is the stored procdure name
command.Parameters.Add("@date", sDate)'And so on.....And then the stored procedure....@num VARCHAR(256),@date SMALLDATETIME,@contact VARCHAR(256),@notes VARCHAR(8000),@media VARCHAR(256) ASBEGIN DECLARE @errCode INT
BEGIN TRAN
-- UPDATE THE RECORDS UPDATE dbo.tblData SET fldDate = @date, fldContact = @contact, fldNotes = @notes, fldMedia = @media WHERE fldNum = @num
<sniped>Like I said, all other fields are updated with no problems, but not the date.The date format being passed into the sp is {0:MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm tt} or Aug 05, 2005 04:39 PM Is it the format of the date? Or something else I'm not seeing...Thanks all,Zath
