T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Remove Non-numeric Values From A Nvarchar Column
Dec 9, 2014We have an address table with a house_num field which is a nvarchar.
Most of house numbers are numbers like 1234, 0989
But some of them have a letter behind it like 678 B, 8909 F, even some like this 123/B
We would like to remove any non-numeric letter for this column.
Is there a way to do it?
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Extracting Source / Dest Column Details From SSIS Package Files?
Jun 30, 2015We have several hundred very simple ETL SSIS 2K8 package files (*.dtsx).
I'd like to be able to interrogate them to determine source and destination fields.
There's no great need to map source to dest or to extract data types.
So far, the most promising candidate is to load them using OPENROWSET into an XML field in a SS table.No problem there, but querying using OPENXML has me stumped.
The package files will change a couple of times per year, so the process needs to be repeatable with minimal manual intervention.
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Using Like In A Replace Cast Sentence?
Jul 16, 2014CREATE TABLE [dbo].[instructions](
[site_no] [int] NOT NULL,
[instructions] [text] NULL
)
Select top 3 * from instructions
Output
Site_no Instructions
20 Request PIN#510 then proceed
21 Request PIN#987 if wrong request name
22 Request PIN#688 allowed to use only numbers
All text instructions start with “Request PIN#XXX” also after that the text are different for every site_no
I need insert in all site_no rows and after the “Request PIN#XXX” the text “and codeword” keeping the current rest of text
How can I set e REPLACE CAST sentence using something LIKE PIN%%%%
To get these type of results
site_no instructions
----------- ----------------------------------------------------
20 Request PIN#510 and codeword then proceed
21 Request PIN#987 and codeword if wrong request name
22 Request PIN#688 and codeword allowed to use only numbers
Cast Or Convert Nvarchar With Comma As Decimal Separator To Decimal
Apr 29, 2008Hello.
My database stores the decimals in Spanish format; "," (comma) as decimal separator.
I need to convert decimal nvarchar values (with comma as decimal separator) as a decimal or int.
Any Case using CAST or CONVERT, For Decimal or Int gives me the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric
Any knows how to resolve.
Or any knows any parameter or similar, to indicate to the Cast or Convert, that the decimal separator is a comma instead a dot.
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Using CAST Or CONVERT To Change Data From String To Datetime?
Apr 16, 2014i am trying to take a field that has part of a date in it, so I have to parse it out as follows:
SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)
This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.
From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.
When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."
CAST((SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)) as datetime)
I also tried CONVERT(datetime, (SUBSTRING(a1.Field1, 3, 2) + SUBSTRING(a1.Field1,5,2) + '20' + LEFT(a1.Field1,2)), and got the same message.
how I can parse that field, then convert it to a datetime format for running a DATEDIFF statement?
Cast/Convert Mmddyy In String To New DB_DATETIMESTAMP Column In Derived Column Transformation
Mar 5, 2007Hi,
I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks
Nvarchar/varchar Confusion In OLE DB Source
Jun 29, 2007There is a view in a SQL Server database that I need to connect to. If I connect to the database via Management Studio, the column CLIENT_NUMBER is nvarchar(15). Now in SSIS, if I add an OLE DB Source, access using a SQL Command, click Build Query, and add the view, I can see CLIENT_NUMBER as nvarchar(15) there too. Now I click OK, go to Columns, and I see that in both External Column and Output Column, CLIENT_NUMBER is specified as a DT_STR of length 30! The same thing happens if I use Table or view mode, and it happens with every nvarchar column here.
The kicker here is that I know this was working before. When I opened this package for the first time in weeks, I could see the Output Column as DT_WSTR length 15, so I know things were working then. In the meantime, I had installed SP2. Has anyone else heard about an issue like this? It certainly isn't happening with every package. Should I just take the ugly way out and CAST all of these nvarchar columns as nvarchars?
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Get Lowest Unused Value Of Nvarchar Field Being Used As Primary Key

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Store Result Of Stored Procedure Into XML / Nvarchar (max) Variable
Feb 16, 2012I have a stored procedure that returns XML using FOR XML Explicit. I need to use the output of this procedure in another procedure, and modify the xml output before it is saved somewhere.
Say StoredProc1 is the one returning xml output and StoredProc2 needs to consume the output of StoredProc1
I declared a nvarchar(max) variable and trying to saved the result of StoredProc1
Declare @xml nvarchar(max)
EXEC @xml = StoredProc1 @Id
This doesn't work as expected as @xml doesn't get any value assigned or rather I would say
EXEC @xml = StoredProc1 @Id
outputs the entire xml whereas it should just save the xml in a variable.
Full Text Index Not Working With Nvarchar Source
Jul 11, 2007Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...
I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value.
To re-create the problem quickly...
If I populate the column via
CONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text')
then there is no problem, I get results as expected.
However if I populate the column via
CONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max)))
no results are ever returned.
Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.
I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).
The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).
Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,
Gavin.
Below is a T-SQL script you can run to demonstrate the effect I'm
experiencing...
-- Create test database
CREATE DATABASE FullTextTest
GO
USE FullTextTest
GO
-- Create test data table
CREATE TABLE TestTable
(
pk UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL CONSTRAINT tablePK PRIMARY KEY,
varbinarycol VARBINARY(MAX),
documentExtension VARCHAR(5),
)
GO
-- The below single entry WILL BE FOUND (the text source is being entered
directly)
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(),
CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX),'<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 1'),
'.html')
-- The bellow two entries below WILL NOT BE FOUND (the text source is taken
from an NVARCHAR(MAX) value)
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(),
CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry
2' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html')
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(),
CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry
3' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html')
GO
-- Create the full text catalog
sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
GO
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG TEST AS DEFAULT
GO
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON TestTable (varbinarycol TYPE COLUMN
documentExtension LANGUAGE 1033)
KEY INDEX tablePK
GO
-- NOTE: You might need to give the catalog a chance to build before running
the script below.
-- Now do a search that SHOULD RETURN 3 ROWS of data, but ONLY 1 ROW IS
RETURNED
SELECT CAST(varbinarycol AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) FROM TestTable WHERE
CONTAINS(varbinarycol, 'test')

Transact SQL :: Using CAST (column AS BIGINT) And ISNUMERIC

FROM TSEXFIELDV WHERE URI

IN ( SELECT URI

I logged out and came back and tried again, and it still worked. So then I tried…
SELECT uri, evFieldUri, evFieldVal,CAST(evFieldVal

FROM TSEXFIELDV
WHERE URI
> 0
[Code] ...
And it fails.
How To Deal With Nvarchar Column
Jan 19, 2008Hi,
My company is starting to use nvarchar columns in our database products. We just found out that, suppose table T1 has a my_nvarchar_col column, and there is a row containing a unicode text say "some Chinese", if you want to select that row, you have to append "N" in front of the unicode constant in the "WHERE" clause. That is:
select * from T1
where my_nvarchar_col = N'some Chinese'
will return that row, while
select * from T1
where my_nvarchar_col = 'some Chinese'
will return NOTHING.
This brings us a huge problem - we have tens of thousands of such queries in our existing PowerBuilder code base. Do we have to go through all of them to add "N" to the "WHERE" clause? Is there a way we can set some attribute of SQL Server so that we do not need to do that?
Project stalled and I am under extreme pressure so please help ASAP!!
Clustered Index On Nvarchar Column Or Int...
Jan 25, 2007Users can approach their userprofile on my site using: www.mysite.com/name=peterName is a unique value within my database (db type: nvarchar(50))Now, I have created a clustered index on the username column.However, IMHO its faster to create a clustered index on the (also unique) usercode column since that is of type int.BUT since a user can approach my site based on username I feel that I HAVE to live with this setback in performance....Is that true or is there a better way to solve this issue?

View 1 Replies View RelatedModify A Column From Nvarchar(50) To A DateTime
Jun 3, 2007Hello,
I have a column that is a currently set as nvarchar(50) and is called DateEmployed.
There are over a hundred rows that contain dates which is in nvarchar format.
This column now needs to be changed to a DateTime datatype. (Don't ask me it was not set
to a dateTime when this was first designed - I wasn't here)
However, I have to change this column to a DateTime without destroying the data.
Is there any easy way to write some script or use studio management to change this.
Currently the data is displayed like this in this column dd/MM/yyyy i.e. 25/8/2007.
The method I am using to try and change this is by going to studio management clicking
modify on the column and changing the datatype from a nvarchar(50) to a DateTime.
I get this following error message:
- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.
Any suggestions would be most grateful,
Thanks,
Steve
Comparing Nvarchar(max) Column Using Like To Non-ASCII Range

How Do I Insert A String Value With Quotes Into A Nvarchar Column
Jul 20, 2007I am reading data from another data source and storing it in the sqlce database. Some of the string values I'm trying to insert into the database have single quotes in the string (i.e. Johnny's Company). When I try to insert the values with the single quotes, it throws an exception. The code I use to insert the records is as follows:
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT sy_company " +
" (company_id, company, co_name, companyid) " +
"VALUES(" +
"'" + dtSYCompany.Rows[x]["company_id"] + "'," +
"N'" + dtSYCompany.Rows[x]["company"] + "'," +
"N'" + dtSYCompany.Rows[x]["co_name"] + "'," +
"'" + dtSYCompany.Rows[x]["companyid"] + "')";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
When the company name (co_name) has a single quote in it, I get the error. How do I write the insert statement so it will work even though the value being inserted into co_name has a single quote in it?
Thanks so much!
Adding CRLF To Nvarchar(max) Column Text
Aug 31, 2007A SqlServer 2005 db has a table with an nvarchar(max) column containing text with paragraph format. When displayed in a Windows form textbox each paragraph exhibits CRLF. When the table is opened in Management Studio the paragraph text is separated with two boxes at each CRLF.
I would like to insert an additional CRLF (or whatever is required) so that when viewed in a textbox each paragraph has a blank line separating it from the next paragraph. Much easier to read!!!
Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Convert Column From NVARCHAR(MAX) To Money And Then Back Again.

PropertyMap9 is always a nvarchar(max)
How do I SET a value using a CONVERT or CAST to accomplish this ?
Why does this give me a syntax error ? The PropertyMap7 set actually works and performs the calculation and sets the new value for that row, however the next line gives an error. I need all 3 columns PropertyMap9, 8, and 7 to always have the above formatting, while still maintaining the nvarchar(max) datatype in the column. HELP!
update PropertyMapValues

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Cannot Define Primary Key Constraint On Nullable Column But Column Not Null

OLE DB Source To Flat File Destintation Using Fixed Width Columns - Determining Source Column Width
Feb 13, 2007Hi,
I am trying to create a program that transfers tables to flat files.
At this point in time, I have suceeded in created one that creates delimited files.
However, I am now trying to create fixed-width files as you can do with the SSIS designer, but programatically.
Is there a way to programatically determine the width of a column from the source table? I can not seem to find any kind of function or member that stores this information or allows me to retrieve it.
I know what I need to change in order to set a width for a column, but I just don't know how to find the width without just asking the user to provide one.

Pass NVARCHAR (or Other String-type) Var As A Column Or Table Name In SQL
Jun 21, 2004Hey 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...
