Any function that determines the geometric function from a series of spatial points (geometric or geographic.)?
If not I am ready to build one ... I found a clean C++ implementation that I can translate to T-SQL.
I need to retrieve the pts from table #test1 based on the fields when mapped..
Name & Type columns should match ..Based on the data below the output should be
id NameTypeCode CityIType BPS
1EGFN432 HY F2 10
2 EG FN 432 ON F1 20
3 EG FN 433 On F1 30
It has order of priority to get points
1.When all of the field matches then get the respective pts .
2.When name and Type matched and rest fields doesnt match but is null in #test2 table then retrieve those pts
--drop table #test
--drop table #test1
Create table #test
(
id int identity(1,1) not null,
Name varchar(100) NULL,

DelimitedSplit8k and PatternSplitLoop seem to have potential, but I'm just plain stuck on some things:
1. DelimitedSplit8k: the delimiter split the folder paths, but the pattern can be within the strings that result.
2. PatternSplitLoop: I would have to cross apply 16 times and have an awful WHERE clause to determine which of the four strings matched first.
Unless I'm missing something. Short example is below.
WITH testctes (string, pattern) AS (
SELECT 'oh_look_at_this.thing.hishers_stuffmine.craftyours_protein', 'his first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'i.am.a._thing.hershis_thingsmine.refrigeratoryours_potato', 'hers first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'path_like.things_minehers.some_elsehis_garbageyours_sneakers', 'mine first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'more_stuff.yoursminehershis_falafel', 'yours first'
)
SELECT string, pattern, ca.item, ca.itemnumber
FROM testctes
CROSS APPLY [dbo].[PatternSplitLoop] (string, '%his%') ca
I'm looking for feedback on a query I've devised to return a numeric value if the 3 most recent executions of a job have failed. The purpose of the query is to server as a custom counter alert for Idera SQL DM, and by definition an SQL Script alert must return a numeric value.
My environment is SQL Server 2008. Note that the job name is hard coded.
;WITH CTE_Restore_JobHistory AS
(SELECT h.[job_id]
,j.[name] as JobName
,h.[message]
,h.[run_status]

select datediff(wk, '2015-01-11', '2015-01-19') returns 1 (shouldn't it return 2?)
select datediff(wk, '2015-01-10', '2015-01-19') returns 2
I have a table with addresses and activity dates. I need to be able to retrieve the past 3 activity dates and see if the first and last occurred within 15 days. If so, I need to flag them.
Using max date gets me the last date but not the previous two. I was trying to use top 3 in desc order and that didnt seem to work either.
I have several tables a varbinary column in a database. They have names like CSB_BLOB or OBJECT_BLOB. Now I am having intermittent success with getting the data out.
For example this query returns readable text from this data.
0x46726F6D3A20226465616E6E6167726.....etc --data as stored in the column
SELECT CAST(CSB_BLOB AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS 'Message' FROM OBJECT_BLOB
However this column has the following query results.
0x0001000000FFFFFFFF01000000000000000C....etc. --data as stored in column
--this query returns empty result
SELECT (CSB_BLOB AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS 'Message' FROM CSB_STATUS_LOG
--this query returns no change???
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CSB_BLOB, 2), 2) FROM CSB_STATUS_LOG
0001000000FFFFFFFF01000000000000000C....etc
Obviously there is a difference between the two but I am not educated enough to interpret this difference. What do I need to learn / read so I can look at the data in one of these BLOB columns and know how to convert it to something meaningful?
Something like:
1. Try to cast as varchar to see if it is text.
2. Turn into a byte array and see if it is a jpg
3. Turn into a byte array and see if it is a pdf
4. Convert it to hex and then cast as varchar
5. etc....
Hi,
Is there any equivalent in SQL Server for Oracle's datatype 'SDO_GEOMETRY'

Hi, have configured an ODBC linked server for an Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA6.0) database.
I have to write a function (not a procedure) that receives a number (@Code) and returns 1 if it was found on a table in the linked server, or 0 if not. Looks very simple...
One problem, is that the queries on a linked-server must be made through the OPENQUERY statement, which doesen't support dynamic parameters. I've solved this making the whole query a string, and executing it, something like this:
SET @SQL='SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA, ''SELECT code FROM countries WHERE code=' + @Code + ''')'
EXEC sp_executesql @SQL
(CAT_ASA is the linked-server's name)
Then, i would use @@ROWCOUNT to determine if the code exists or not. But before this, a problem appears: sp_executesql is not allowed within a function (only extended procedures are allowed).
Does somebody know how to make what i want?? I prefer to avoid using temporary tables.
Thanks!
Greetings everyone, I'm posting this thread with the hope that someone will notice it and might offer me a helping hand regarding one of my problems.I have the database named "DBEXAMPLE" with the table MEMB_INFO that contains two important columns that are named cur_points and points where cur_points column contains the total available points that a member can use/spend on a game and the points column stores the total of the points that a member used so far.So as i plan to wipe all data of the database, i need to keep the member login,password and total points that each member purchased.So i will somehow need to update the cur_points column with the total of current cur_points+points columns and then wipe points column.I've personally asked a friend regarding this and he said that this should be something complicated and it might require php also.Really appreciate if someone could help me regarding this.small schema:Database: DBEXAMPLETable: MEMB_INFOColumn cur_points -> total available points that a member can spendColumn points -> total points that the member has already spentColumn memb___id -> member login aka account idTODO -> update cur_points column with the total of cur_points+points columns for each member(buyer)With best regards.

In data mining, I came across the term called "temporal/spatial" perspective....what does this really trying to convey and mean ? Will anyone please provide some light on it ? Thank you
Can anyone comment on the future for spatial data types in SQL CE? This would be a very useful feature for mobile devices connected to a GPS.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I encountered a very strange problem again. Why the time series displayed on the chart are so strange? The Key time column I chose for my time series algorithm is cal_month(e.g 199001...), but why the date displayed on the time series chart is like :05/06/2448? (it should be like 199001..?) What is that data? And where exactly did it come from? What is the exact cause of this?
Hope it is clear for your help.
I am really confused on this and thanks a lot for your kind advices and help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
I have the two following locations.
They're both towns in Australia , State of Victoria
Fitzroy,-37.798701, 144.978687
Footscray,-37.799736, 144.899734
After running geography::Point(Latitude, Longitude , 4326) on the latitude and longitude provided for each location, my Geography column for each row is populated with the following:
Fitzroy, 0xE6100000010C292499D53BE642C0A7406667511F6240
Footscray, 0xE6100000010C89B7CEBF5DE642C02D23F59ECA1C6240
In my SQL Query, I have the following which works out the distance between both towns. Geo being my Geography column
DECLARE @s geography = 0xE6100000010C292499D53BE642C0A7406667511F6240 -- Fitzroy
DECLARE @t geography = 0xE6100000010C89B7CEBF5DE642C02D23F59ECA1C6240 -- Footscray
SELECT @s.STDistance(@t)
The result I get is
6954.44911927616
I then looked at formatting this as in Australia we go by KM so after some searching I found two solutions one for Miles and the other KM
So I changed Select statement to look like this
select @s.STDistance(@t)/1000 -- format to KM
My result is then
6.95444911927616
When I go to google maps and do a direction request between the locations provided above it says 10.2km (depending on traffic)
Now I'm new to this spatial data within SQL, why would I get a different result from google maps?
Also I would like to round this number so its easier to use within my where statement so I'm using Ceiling as shown here:
SELECT CEILING(@s.STDistance(@t)/1000)
Is ceiling the correct way to go?
Reason I need to round this is because we are allowing the end user to search by radius so if they pass in 50km I will then say
Where CEILING(@s.STDistance(@t)/1000) < 50
I build a UDF scalar function like this:
CREATE FUNCTION VerificaAcessoPerfil
(
@codigo INT
)
RETURNS INT
[Code] ....
Curiously when i call my function the same one return always the same value, ex:
Select VerificaAcessoPerfil(2)
the return value is : 698 ??
but if i run the Select statment like this:
SELECT DISTINCT codigo,
(case codigo WHEN 1 THEN 695
WHEN 11 THEN 697 WHEN 2 THEN 211
WHEN 10 THEN 698 WHEN 13 THEN 696
WHEN 4 THEN 1 END)[codigo]
FROM pf (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN pfu (NOLOCK) ON pfu.pfstamp=pf.pfstamp
WHERE codigo IN (1,11,2,10,13,4)
ORDER BY 1 ASC
The value are:
1695
2211
41
10698
11697
13696
How to get this out put.
Details:
declare @deadline Datetime = '2014-03-23 15:30:10.000'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(30),@deadline, 100) AS DateConvert
----With this I am able to produce that like
----o/p: Mar 23 2014 3:30PM
declare @deadline1 Datetime = '2014-03-03 15:30:10.000'
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(24),@deadline1, 100) AS DateConvert
--o/p: Mar 3 2014 3:30PM
--expected O/p: Mar 03 2014 03:30PM
What is the correct date format to achieve this.
I am just wondering why
SELECT POWER(2.718, -34.08)
returns me 0.
Tested it in Microsoft Excel
=2.718^-34.08
and it is returning me 1.58774E-15 which is approximate 15 decimal points.
My table column defined as FLOAT which can take up to 54.
Is it the limitation in the POWER function ?
I'm looking for a way to pull off a complex find+replace within some code, as follows:
@step_name = N'SAME - OCF Collins (Tabard)', @command = N'DTSRun /~Z0x5F4F7B0688825E7544AC46CFD664F98AC ', @database_name = N'
We have over 200 variants of the above, but following the same syntax (@step_name, Dbname, @Command etc...
Rules:
1) Note the unique identifier "~Z0x5F4F7B0688825E7544AC46CFD664F98AC". I would like it replaced for whatever is between "@step_name = N'" , and @command = N'DTSRun ; (this will form a filename).
2) Note the 'DTSRun /' string. I'd like that replaced with Dtexec /F "D:MyFileLocationFolderHere" (this folder remains constant).

I am debugging a DB maintance script which creates a table of index maintainance commands which are created separately for each index according to the level of fragmentation and other factors.
For the debugging process, I'm looking for a way to parse each command in the table without actually running them to locate any syntax errors. In other words, as if you clicked the blue check on each one.
Does such a function exist in SQL 2008 (the version I'm doing this on) or other versions?
I have troubles with this scalar-valued UDF:

Actually our business year starts from 1st july and for this code I need function which is dynamically updates the every year for example 2014-07-01 to 2015-06-30 this is called as a 2015 year like this I need function which will dynamically update a year.
I want to create a function that searches for allowed characters within a table range (that contains the allowed characters) and replace any characters outside this range with a space.
For example -
'Bill123?', 'Jones12.z-'
'John&12/', 'QWERT123&4'
Wanted results – the single quotes are there to show the space for the replaced characters.
'Bill123 '
'Jones12.z '
'John&12 '
'QWERT123 4'
Example SQL data
CREATE TABLE [Common].[AllowedCharacters] (
[Character] [varchar](1) NOT NULL,
[Replacement] [varchar](10) NULL,
[AlwaysInclude] [bit] NOT NULL)
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
[code]....
The function will wrap around the column names and I know it can be done without a table validate the characters but it must be done this way.
Any UDF that accepts a Month and Year and returns Start Date and End Date.
For example @Month = 01 and @Year = 2014 would return a StartDate of 2014-01-01 and an EndDate of 2014-01-31.
For code reuse, I am trying to get a table valued function to return users of a given AD group name. I can easily get this with hard-coding the group name. But because OpenQuery wont accept parameters, I can't insert my group name there. And because functions can't call dynamic SQL, I can't do it via dynamic sql. I have seen people do it with CLR, but I rather not go that route. I can use a stored procedure + cursor and iterate through each group and store the results into real tables and create a cache, but I rather query Active Directory itself to save space, but I rather do the caching then the CLR. Any approach I am missing on how to do this?
The following works fine:

WHERE sn IS NOT NULL
