Hi experts,
I need to do an update on a field which will update 3 characters within a string. Right now I have '000111000333'. I want to replace '000' starting from the 7th character space with '222'. The first set of zeroes will remain unchange. I want the final outcome to be '000111222333'. How can I do this?
I have tried searching this forum and could not find anything. the closest thing I can find is http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=81890#360936.
Thanks for the help!
Hi,
I am trying to replace a string column with 'Y' or 'N' in my SSRS report. I tried the following expressions, but no one works for me.
=IIf(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value Is Null, 'Y', 'N')
=IIf(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value = '', 'Y', 'N')
=IIf(IsDBNull(Fields!ExpectedWords.Value), 'Y', 'N')
Would you please tell me what's wrong? Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks alot.
Ok.. so I have a fixed position data feed. I read the file in as just whole rows initially, process a specific position and evaluate a conditional split to determine direction of the file for proper processing (file contains multiple recors with different layouts). This all works fine. I then use the derived column feature to process all the columns.
Most of the columns are as simple as SUBSTRING(RecordData,1,10) for example to get the first column. This all works for string data. I then have a column that is a date field. The problem occurs that the code SUBSTRING(RecordData,20,10) returns either a date or empty set of data if no date was in the original file. When this gets sent to the OLEDB connection (SQL Server 2005) into the date field it fails. If the record has a date it works, but if it is empty it fails the insert.
I tried to replace empty strings with NULLs with this code. REPLACE(TRIM(SUBSTRING(RecordData,20,10)),"",NULL(DT_WSTR,10)). This does not work. So my question is how do I bring a date field from a fixed flat file into a SQL datetime field using a derived column? More specifically is how do I set it to NULL if its empty data? When I use the above code it inserts all the rows from the file, but it sets all rows to NULL not just the empty ones.
Thanks.
Hi!
I recently was confronted with a problem where a piece of text that was included in many NTEXT column values in a table needed to be replaced with another piece of text. You can't issue normal REPLACE statements against NTEXT columns, so this seemed to be a bit of a challenge issuing a REPLACE() against a TEXT or NTEXT column in SQL Server yields error
I tried following
UPDATE CaseTypeDefs SET definition = replace(LTRIM(RTRIM(definition)), '<![CDATA[sp_YOTAssetAdditionalOffences 0, ArgParamHearingsId, ArgParamLanguage, ArgParamReferralId]]>', '<![CDATA[sp_YOTAssetAdditionalOffences 0, ArgParamHearingsId, ArgParamLanguage]]>')
But this is producing following error
Server: Msg 8116, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Argument data type ntext is invalid for argument 1 of replace function.
For Example: I want to replace string <![CDATA[sp_YOTAssetAdditionalOffences 0, ArgParamHearingsId, ArgParamLanguage]]> with <![CDATA[sp_YOTAssetAdditionalOffences 0, ArgParamHearingsId, ArgParamLanguage, ArgParamReferralId]]> in NTEXT column values in a table.
Need help, how to do it?.
Thanks In Advance

We have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.
I would like to create a function that will replace a string using a reference table
I have a table : reference
ID String ReplaceWith
1 â &
2 < <
3 > >
If I pass a string into a function, function needs to replace a string with replace with string column in reference table
For example, if I pass   a string : car $ap; fjld
The function should return car & fjld
How can i create a function like this so that i can call it in Stored procedure....
How do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?
Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000
I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''
I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed.
After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.
Code Snippet
if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename)
drop table @temptablename
It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.
Heres what the stored procedure does.
I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable'
I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA'
then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.
Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.
Code Snippet
Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA
Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02',
FROM TableB
where ColumnB = 003860
Group By ColumnA, ColumnB
TRUNCATE TABLE TableA
Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02',
From #temptableabcd
Group by ColumnA, ColumnB
The above coding produces
Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.
Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?
Thanks for the help.
I am trying to update one table when records are inserted in another table.
I have added the following trigger to the table âProdTrâ and every time a record is added I want to update the field âQty3â in the table âActInfâ with a value from the inserted record.
My problem appears to be that I am unable to fill the variables with values, and I cannot understand why it isnât working, my code is:
ALTER trigger [dbo].[antall_liter] on [dbo].[ProdTr]

HiI'm using the SQL 2000 table variable to hold 2 different fact sets.I'm declaring the variable @CurrentTable and inserting into it using aSELECT statement with no problems.I'm leaving certain of the columns null in order to later update themwith the PK.Problem is in the UPDATE syntax I'm usingUPDATE @CurrentTableSET ManagerTitle = (select mgrs.pos_title from mgrs) wheremgrs.pos_num = @CurrentTable.MgrPosNumIt is insisting I declare the @CurrentTable variable when I try to useit in the where clause.Is it simply out-of-scope or am I really doing something foolish?Andrew

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table that lists math Calculations with "User Friendly Names" that look like the following:
([Sales Units]*[AUR])
([Comp Sales Units]*[Comp AUR])
I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR".

I am trying to insert different number of columns into variables. This is what it does If I use a static columns.
declare @AccountType nvarchar(10)
declare @Total numerical(15,2)
declare @1 numerical (15,2)
declare @2 numerical (15,2)
declare @3 numerical (15,2)
#MonthtoDate  temp table is created using a dynamic pivot query.Â
Data looks like this :
Account Type  1 2
3 Total
Type 1 3
0 4 7
Type 2 5
7 1 13
Select @AccountType = AcctType , @Total = MonthToDate, @1 = [1], @2 = [2], @3 = [3] Â from #MonthtoDateÂ
However the issue is with [1],[2],[3] columns. Those are the number of days of the month. If today is the 3rd day of the month, we only need to show 3 days. So the final table has column [1],[2],[3] and @AccountType and @Total .
We want to run this query everyday to get the moth to date values.If we run this tomorrow, it will have 4 date columns [1], [2],[3],[4]Â and @AccountType and @Total .
I am trying to use a stored procedure to update a column in a sql table using the value from a variable table I getting errors because my syntax is not correct. I think table aliases are not allowed in UPDATE statements.
This is my statement:
UPDATE [dbo].[sessions_teams] stc
SET stc.[Talks] = fmt.found_talks_type
FROM @Find_Missing_Talks fmt
WHERE stc.sessionid IN (SELECT sessionid FROM @Find_Missing_Talks)
AND stc.coupleid IN (SELECT coupleid FROM @Find_Missing_Talks)
quote:Another question is how to find a string in any column of any table.
(Above is a hint as to one way)
I had to do this because a system was sending out a not very impressive email to users ad we couldn't find what was triggering it.
I have run into a similar situation. Care to share your solution?

Hey folks, the question is fairly simple, unfortunately the answer has proven rather elusive.
Is it possible to declare a variable which would then be used to identify either a column or table in an SQL statement?
Here's a basic idea of what I'd like to do:
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT *
FROM @myVar
or
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT @myVar
FROM MyTable
I'm probably looking for some sort of built in function that will accept an argument here... like COLUMN(@myVar) or something of the like. I just don't know where to look...
