This Stored Procedure Can Be Used To Search And Replace Substring In The Char, Nchar,
Jan 9, 2006
#1 This stored procedure can be used to search and replace substring in the char, nchar, varchar and nvarchar columns in all tables in the current database. You should pass the text value to search and the text value to replace. So, to replace all char, nchar, varchar and nvarchar columns which contain the substring 'John' with the substring 'Bill', you can use the following (in comparison with the SetTbColValues stored procedure, this stored procedure replace only substring, not the entire column's value):
I'm using replace in a stored procedure to eliminate carriage returnsa user might have entered in an Access field.The problem is that even though it seems to strip out the carriagereturn I can't get rid of the "□" character.This is my code:DECLARE @myReturn nvarchar(1)SELECT @myReturn = NCHAR(10)REPLACE(UserAddress,@myReturn,' ') AS myTEXTFor example, the user has entered:123 Oak StreetSuite 101What I get after running the replace is: 123 Oak Street □ Suite101lq
I am attempting to find quotes (") in a column and replace with the string '--THIS-WAS-QUOTES--'. Right now my script only converts the first quote it finds in the description column, converts to the string and moves to the next row leaving the other quotes as they were. Below is my query script

I am trying to convert a single code page MS Server database into a unicode database, using the unicode data types,NCHAR, NVARCHAR, NTEXT. The problem is that in the original database, indexes and constraints have been defined on the tables whose configurations need to be changed. As a result, the ALTER TABLE command fails. Are there any other alternative solutions? Also, data from the old database needs to be preserved. The objective is to create a unicode database which keeps the old data intact as well as accepts the new data in unicode. It would be great if you could help! Thanks, Sheetal.
can anybody please explain me why microsoft using nvarchar/nchar instead of varchar/char in northwind database and pubs database. I know if a column holds unicode data you should use nvarchar or nchar but for me all those tables in northwind/pubs are not holding unicode data. but still why microsoft settled for nchar/nvarchar.
( @CompanyID NVARCHAR(36), @DivisionID NVARCHAR(36), @DepartmentID NVARCHAR(36), @ItemID NVARCHAR(36), @OrderNo NVARCHAR(36), @LineNo NVARCHAR(36), @TAllotedQty Numeric, @EmployeeID NVARCHAR(36), @Trndate datetime ) AS BEGIN By default iam passing 12 char itemid as parameter...
Here iam selecting the itemid from InventoryLedger -if it is 8 char than this query should be executed IF EXISTS(SELECT ItemID FROM InventoryLedger WHERE TransDate=@Trndate AND ItemID=@ItemID AND ILLineNumber =@LineNo AND TransNumber=@OrderNo AND TransactionType='Production' AND CompanyID=@CompanyID AND DivisionID= @DivisionID AND DepartmentID=@DepartmentID)

Here iam selecting the itemid from InventoryLedger -if it is 12 char than this query should be executed(both queries are same) IF EXISTS(SELECT ItemID FROM InventoryLedger WHERE TransDate=@Trndate AND ItemID=@ItemID AND ILLineNumber =@LineNo AND TransNumber=@OrderNo AND TransactionType='Production' AND CompanyID=@CompanyID AND DivisionID= @DivisionID AND DepartmentID=@DepartmentID)

Could someone please help me by explaining which one is best to use and when? For example, storing the word "Corona Del Mar" - which Data Type would be suggested? Thanks.
Hi I have a table, which contains Char and NChar NOT NULL columns Now I need to change it to NULL, when I use the following command, it fails for the following error,
The command I used, ALTER TABLE <TableName> ALTER COLUMN <ColName> CHAR NULL ALTER TABLE <TableName> ALTER COLUMN <ColName> NCHAR NULL
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 13, Line 1 String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated.
But for the same table, the below command executes fine, ALTER TABLE <TableName> ALTER COLUMN <ColName> SMALLINT NULL
Also I can change the NULLABILITY from NOTNULL to NULL using Enterprise Manger, editing the table using Table Design and selecting Allow Nulls option.
Hi, We are in process of converting all of the data type of the fields from CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT into NCHAR/NVARCHAR/NTEXT (DBCS). Having more than 900 store procedure its look like real pain to make modification in all of the SPs.
After failed to find any help from GOOGLE, I am posting this request. I am basically looking for any automated tool which are convert data type in SP based on the field of the table used in the SP. Or at least which can provide me some sort of list which can helpful for doing manual reactoring.

I have Sql server 2005 SP2. I enabled it for Full Text search. Substring search where i enter *word* doesn't return any row. I have a table testtable where description has word Extinguisher.
If i run a query with *ting* it doesn't return any row. select * from testtable where contains(description,'"*xting*"') ;
But it works if i do select * from testtable where contains(description,'"Exting*"') ;
The Full text search document says it supports substring search. Is it an issue with sql server 2005?Please help.
Hi - I'm short of SQL experience and hacking my way through creating a simple search feature for a personal project. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with writing a stored procedure. Problem: I have two tables with three columns indexed for full-text search. So far I have been able to successfully execute the following query returning matching row ids: dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150) AS SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText); RETURN This returns the ArticleID for any articles or article_pages records where there is a text match. I ultimately need the stored procedure to return all columns from the articles table for matches and not just the StoryID. Seems like maybe I should try using some kind of JOIN on the result of the UNION above and the articles table? But I have so far been unable to figure out how to do this as I can't seem to declare a name for the result table of the UNION above. Perhaps there is another more eloquent solution? Thanks! Peter
HiI have a character field, varchar(60), and I want to replace only a partof it, a set substring which is always in the same set positions.Does anyone have an Sql statement or algorithm/sp that could do thatwith one call or run ?ThanksDavid
I have this small snippet from a stored procedure...--Let @course = XY-101SET @newUserRole =@course SELECT REPLACE(@newUserRole,'-','') SET @newUserRole =@newUserRole + 'STUD' Problem is, it doesn't seem to be replacing the dash (-) with a blank/nothing/delete.The STUD does come out attached to the string, but the dash remains...It comes back as XY-101STUDAnyone see a problem with it?Thanks,Zath
@DeptID nvarchar(10) ) As If Exists ( Select DeptName From Departments Where DeptID LIKE @DeptID ) Return 1 Else Return 0
Now I want to apply replace and upper functions to DeptID in database before saying "DeptID LIKE @DeptID".
for example the parameter is :"D&V" DeptID in database is:"d & v" //there are spaces
if I say DeptID LIKE @DeptID nothing is found because of character nonmatching So I have to apply replace & upper functions to the column DeptID in database
I have a table where this one column(varchar) has rows of data with a period at the end of the string. Is there any function I could use to remove all the periods?
Here is the example data <qMultipleChoice><qText>The%20AE%20understands%20what%20conditions%20the%2 0Account%20Manager%20is%20allowed%20to%20sign-off 20on.</qText><qChoice>Strongly20Disagree</qChoice><qChoice>Disagree </qChoice><qChoice>Agree</qChoice><qChoice>Strongly%20Agree</qCh
I want result look like this First Column:The AE Understands what conditions the Account Manager is allowed to sign-off. Second Column: Strongly Disagree Disagree Agree Strongly Agree
This is what i had so far Select (SUBSTRING(QuestionText, (PATINDEX(N'%<qText>%', QuestionText) + 7),(PATINDEX(N'%</qText>%', QuestionText) - (PATINDEX(N'%<qText>%', QuestionText) + 7)))) From tblQuestion
my result: The%20AE%20understands%20what%20conditions%20the%2 0Account%20Manager%20is%20allowed%20to%20sign-off%20on.
I have problem with replace '%20' and how to make the second column. Any Help? Thanks Shan
I have several fileds in a sql table which holds some text and a hell of a lot of white spaces (char(32)) which is causing some problems when I show the data on the front-end
What I want to do is use sql replace function to replace the char(32). However, because there is text I can't do a simple replace as the text will become just one word !
Can anyone tell me how to loop through the field to find the char(32), where the char(32) is greater than say 5 sapces and then replace this with just one single space
E.g. a field in a table contains the following :
"my text field and loads of spaces then some more text with loads of spaces "
I want to replace the char(32) with just one space so it looks like this : "my text filed and loads of spaces then some more text with loads of spaces"
We require to convert a list of SPs in to SSIS packages. Most of the SPs do the below steps:
mainly our store procedure r to have compare the present date to past date , and comparing emp id between the files and also some joins. updating table r take place.
We have a legacy database that have hundreds of stored procedures.
The previous programmar uses a string like servername.databasename.dbo.tablename in the stored procedures. We now have migrated the database to a new server. The old server is either needed to be replaced by the new server name, or remove it.
I don't know why he used servername as part of the fully qualified name, we don't use linked servers. So I think better removing the servername in all the stored procedures.
I know I can do a generate script, and replace the text and then use alter procedure to recreate all the stored procedures. But since hundreds of them, is there a programmatically way to replace them?

The above stored procedure is related to a search screen where in User is able to search from a variety of fields that include userID (corresponding column Batch.Created_By) and batchID (corresponding column Batch.BatchID). The column UserID is a varchar whereas batchID is a numeric. REQUIREMENT: The stored procedure should cater to a typical search where any of the fields can be entered. meanwhile it also should be able to do a partial search on BatchID and UserID.
