There is a table [Formula_Calc] with formula calculations that need to be replaced with relevant values based on another table [Totals]
[Totals]
RowNo|Total
F1|240
F2|160
F3|180
F11|1000
F12|1500
F13|2000
For example we've got a row from [Formula_Calc] table 'F1+F3' as a string that needs to be transformed as 240+160=400
The below code works for the above example but if I pick 'F11+F3' instead , returns 2561 which comes from 2401+16.
Probably replaces F1 value instead of F11 and adds 1st digit (1) if I got it right ...
DECLARE @formula NVARCHAR(100);
DECLARE @Total NVARCHAR(100);
SET @formula = 'F11+F3';
SELECT @formula = REPLACE(@formula,RowNo,Total)
FROM [Totals]
SET @Total='select '+@formula
EXECUTE sp_executesql @Total;
PRINT @Total;
Hi All,
I have a column in one of my tables and I need to display only Alphabets and Numbers of this column, preferably in one single query.
Eg: Column Value --> This is 4th value with no *, &, # symbols.
I want this to be displayed as
Thisis4thvaluewithnosymbols
(All spaces and characters other than alphabets and numerics are gone)
Pleas help.
Thanks
I am working with a large amount of text data in a single column. I am in the process of pumping that column of data into a delimited text file. The data in the column has new line characters that I need to remove. I need to data to be in a single line in the text file.
So far the things that I have tried are not working. What I try for removing the new line characters?
Still new to SQL and having fun learning it. Here's my latest question.
I have a table 'Fields' that has a column named 'label'.
In label, I have values like 'Total Number of Orders'
I want to replace the text Number with a #. How can I do that for all records that contain 'Number'?
Thanks
Hi,
I am populating a dataset in .net with output from sql 2005 database. One of the columns in the table is a 'varchar(max)' type. This dataset is then converted to XML using WriteXml and written to a .xml document. But due to the presence of invalid characters, this process errors out.
Is there any way using which these invalid characters can be replaced at the database level itself when querying on the table?
The error that is produced is as follows:
' ', hexadecimal value 0x1C, is an invalid character. Line 32201, position 924.
Thanks,
Nisha
i need to find and all special characters and replace with space.
Following query works well for me to finding all rows having special char.
SELECT DESC FROM TBL_DESC
WHERE DESC LIKE '%[^A-Z0-9 ]%'
replacing special char with space . i need to remove special chars only.
I want to replace special characters and space except '-' Tried with Pathindex and function but not getting expected results.
Ex: Input kjkdjfdf-234#kei$ ewiw
output: kjkdjfdf-234keiewiw
I am trying to replace all special characters in a column with one special character.
Example:
Table: dbo.Employee
Column: Name
Name
-------
edwardneuman!"<]
mikemoreno)'>$:
JeffJensen"?>"
I am trying to get the namepart to the left of ANY special character. To achieve this, I am thinking of replacing all the special characters with a single special character so that I can find the first occurrence of that special character and grab left of the special character (SUBSTRING/CHARINDEX). This way I don't need to loop through all the special characters.
I am expecting the following results:
Name
-------
edwardneuman<<<<
mikemoreno<<<<<
JeffJensen<<<<
I'm trying to replace special characters in SQL SERVER and all the solutions for this RDBMS that I found, it uses loops and the source of my data it's in Oracle. in ORACLE and they use REGULAR EXPRESIONS to solve it..Do you know what its the better option to replace special characters? Using loops in SQL SERVER or REGULAR EXPRESSIONS in ORACLE ?

Hi
acutally due to certain reason i have changed the few tables name in my database, but now i m facing problem in my software, i have alot of procedures and function as well in my database and these are using old table name,
Is there any script that i can use to replace the name of the tables.
i have checked few procedure/function in which i use table name with different style like [dbo].[tablename] and in some places i just use only [tablename].
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks and looking forward.
I have an automatic data collection system. The large majority of the time, all data is electronically gathered. On occasion, the need arises to substitute a manually entered value into the data when a valuable piece of information cannot be electronically secured. When a piece of data is open to substitution, it arrives with a value of -9999 (a value not naturally occuring) in Table A. I want to be able to use a trigger on table A to get its substitution value from a corresponding column (Same name) in Table B. Tables A & B will have an identical schema. A is raw data, B is the manually updated table. Any value in the raw table with the content of -9999 gets its replacement from Table B.
I'm open to any ideas!!

Greetings,
I'm a web developer who is new to T-SQL scripting.
I need to write a script that will update a table from a text file daily; the columns will be identical but their content will vary. I immediately thought that dropping the existing table and creating a new one from the file as a scheduled job was the answer.
My boss thinks that this approach is risky and suggests comparing the new and old data and altering the existing table instead. My gut says that this is an inefficient and unecessary solution.
Any advice?; if so, any sample scripts you can point to?
Thanks!
I need to strip some puntcuation from any field in a given table.I'd rather like to avoid using the replace () for each field in thetable.Anyone have a nifty way do this?Is there a special name that I can use in the replace that means theentire row?(other than syntax, something like REPLACE(@ROW,CHAR(39),'') )tiaRob

i'm trying to figure out a way to replace a handful of "Illegal" characters in our SQL tables. We are using Project Server and some of these characters are causing errors or other issues in OLAP Cube.
I'm trying to figure out a way to change the following characters to an underscore ( _ ) :
illegal characters are: / ( ) . , ' : - &
Can I just create a SQL query that loops through a column to replace all of these characters at once? or do I have to replace one character at a time?! I tested replacing one at a time and it works with the REPLACE function.
I'm not all that familiar with MSSQL, I've spent past few years working with MySQL instead.
how can my query loop? or would using CASE help me out?
thanks. any feedback is much appreciated. If you need to know more, let me know.
