SQL Server 2008 :: How To Extract Part Of A String
May 11, 2015
Here is a sample order # we used for one of our shipments: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
I need to extract the "24954" portion of that order # while within an INNER JOIN, but not sure how.
My problem is we have 2 order tables: OrderTable1 contains a field with the full order #. OrderTable2 contains a field with only the "24954" portion. I need to JOIN on these 2 fields somehow.
So an example would be the following:
OrderTable1.Full_Order_No: BL-53151-24954-1-0001-33934
OrderTable2.Order_No: 24954
SELECT
ot1.Full_Order_No
, ot2.Order_No
FROM
OrderTable1 ot1
INNER JOIN OrderTable2 ot2 ON ot2.Order_No = [do something here to truncate ot1.Full_Order_No]
How can I do this?
Few notes:
-the 1st part of the order number, "BL-53151-" will ALWAYS be the same. It's our client # which will never change for the purpose of this query.
-The portion I need (24954) can be more or less than the 5 current digits.
-There will always be 6 portions to the order number, split up between 5 dashes.

Hi,
I have 2 questions.
1. I have a table with a column for region names. Region Names are in 2 formats basically - "NAME-BU*RM" OR "NAME*RM".
I want to extract just "Name" from this string.
The length of "Name" varies and I want to extract all characters included for "Name".
Can anyone advise what the query/SQL statement would look like?
2. I wrote a VB code to generate a xls file. Users are able to run it fine but if they have another file with same name already open, then it just crashes excel.
So I want to include a code that checks if file "file.xls" is open on user's machine.
If file is open, then message "file "File.xls" is already open. Generating File_1.xls"
Run the code but create the file with file name "file_1.xls"
If file doesn't exist, then run code and create file with file name "File.xls"
Please advise.

I have to extract a specific part of a string from a column in a sql server table. Following are the details and I have given the sample table and the sample strings.
I have 2 columns in my table [dbo].[StringExtract] (Id, MyString)
The row sample looks like the following
I have to extract the Id and a part of the column from mystring.
Id MyString
1 ABC|^~&|BNAME|CLIENT1||CLIENT1|20110609233558||BIC^A27|5014589635|K|8.1|
ABC1|^~&|BNAME1|CLIENT1||CLIENT1|20110609233558||CTP^A27|5014589635|I|7.1|
DEF||5148956598||||Apprised|Bfunction1||15|LMP|^^^201106101330|
alloys3^ally^crimson^L||||alloys3^ally^crimson^L||||alloys3^ally^crimson^L|||||Apprised|
[Code] ....
The part I want to extract is in the line "ZZZ" and the string part that i want to extract is between the 5th and 6th pipes (|). So my output looks like the following
Id DesiredString
1 Extracts^This^String1
2 Extracts^This^String2
3 Extracts^This^String3
Is there a way to extract this either using TSQL or SSIS.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[StringExtract]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE [dbo].[StringExtract]
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[StringExtract]') AND type in (N'U'))
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StringExtract](
[Id] [int] NULL,
[Code] ....

Hi,I'm using MSSQL2k and I have some customers in a customer table. I want to write a webapp and offer them the possibility to teach them using the app while having telephone contact with them. They can use the app on my server for some time and add data to it.After a while when someone wants to buy the app I would like to distribute the app as an Intranet app to their own server and let them have the data they already have wrote into the db on my server.Because there will be some customers with much data I'd like some guidance in how to plan the database to easily extract their own data and create a new db polutated with their data.Kenneth

I have two tables in SQL Server--an expression table and a translate table.
DECLARE @EXPRTABLE TABLE
(
expression varchar(100)
)
INSERT INTO @EXPRTABLE
SELECT 'CALL("-","","TEST")'
[Code] ....
I am trying to (for lack of a better way to explain it), overlay the pattern onto the expression and extract the text where the "#" symbols are.
So,
CALL("-","","TEST") using pattern CALL("#","#","#") would return -,,TEST
SUB(2,67,TEST,4,) using pattern SUB(2,#,TEST,4,) would return 67

I am trying to write a query in sql query analyzer that will extract a date that appears after the first comma in the string. An example of the data is below:
DAVE,12/31/03,17:18,PERIODENDP
AS,01/16/06,16:51,CUSTOMERS_VW
EM,11/09/07,15:08,ORDER_ENTRY_
I want to select the 8 characters after the first comma in the field, and then convert it to a date format.
I am a novice, so any help with the correct function and syntax would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Dave

I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
Example:
DECLARE @StrInput NVARCHAR(2000) = '.NET,Java, Python'
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE titleName = '.NET' AND titleName='java' AND titleName = 'Python'
As shown in the example above I need to take the comma delimited string as input and search each individual string like in the select statement.

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

I'm trying to replace a particular part of a row in a table with a new value.
The row is called "DataPath" and it has a lot of values like so:
mashOperationsComponent Data FilesSantec
I want to run a query to replace the mash with our DFS namespace share name companysharesDepartments but keep everything else past the mash part of the original row.
I'm currently running this query, it says it is altering 30,000 rows, but it doesn't look like it's doing anything at all..
UPDATE dbo.Part
SET DataPath = REPLACE(DataPath,'company.localsharesDepartments','mash')
WHERE DataPath like 'mash\%'
So for example, it would change the mash above to
company.localsharesDepartmentsOperationsComponent Data FilesSantec

I have a table which has important information stored within a text field as nText. The fields look like this
{B:P:8}
{B:D:18}
{A:P:821}
{E:D:38}
{A:D:9}
{B:D:18}
The integer after the last colon & before the curly brace is the one I need to extract. Is there a way to do this in SQL?
I tried this at first, but the problem is that it's not very tolerant to the varying lengths of the integer.
,RIGHT(LEFT(CAST(bN.Note AS NVARCHAR(50)),6),2)
I use Microsoft SQL 2008

I have tables in database where a VARCHAR(50) string is unique identifier. The database currently has an integer identity column as clustered primary key, and there's a non-clustered index on string column. The customer always queries based on a defined set of the identifier (string) column.
I wonder if someone sees an advantage of adding a persisted computed column to the table as the checksum of the string column, and then create a non-clustered index on the checksum and the string. When a customer requests data, we would compute the checksum of the customer provided identifier and add to the where clause or join, that the checksum and string must match.
Will SQL Server perform checksum check (integer) and only if it succeeds, perform the string check, in which case I see an advantage of added the checksum column? Or will SQL Server always check for both the checksum and string, in which case the additional column only adds unnecessary overhead? To note is the fact that the table(s) will have millions of rows, but the customer will request data for at at most, 100 or so identifiers.
