I'm trying to use the following as an expression in the format of a text box. (Reporting Services 2005)
=System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(First(Fields!JOB_NBR.Value, "main"), "(w{2})(w{4})(w{1})","$1-$2-$3")
however in the edit expression window, I have a red line under the word Replace.
The mouse over tells me it is a "unrecognized identifier"
Any idea's
Thanks in advanace for taking the time to read this post.
I am using MSSQL 2005 and have created a function that allows me to use regular expressions in my SQL queries.
My question is I have a pattern buried in a field of misc data that I need to pull out just that pattern and discard the rest of the data. Here is the Regular Expression I am using
select field1 from table1
where dbo.RegExMatch (field1,'[a-zA-Z]{4}[0-9]{6}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}')=1
This returns all values in the field that match the expression. What I want to do now is remove all data from the field on the left and right of the expression that does not match the expression. How would I accomplish this without reading through the 200k+ records and writing rules for every exception I run across?
so I could have Gar b/a ge 'THE GOOD DATA' m/or1 ba4d da....ta. All I want to do is return 'THE GOOD DATA'
Hi,This is driving me nuts, I have a table that stores notes regarding anoperation in an IMAGE data type field in MS SQL Server 2000.I can read and write no problem using Access using the StrConv function andI can Update the field correctly in T-SQL using:DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(BITS_data)FROM mytable_BINARY WHERE ID = 'RB215'WRITETEXT OPERATION_BINARY.BITS @ptrval 'My notes for this operation'However, I just can not seem to be able to convert back to text theinformation once it is stored using T-SQL.My selects keep returning bin data.How to do this! Thanks for your help.SD

I have a table in which one of the column name is "NAME".
I have to write query in which column is not null and if there is something then check for 'trust' or 'trustee' in the string. and if found don't pull that record. skip it
who do i do these. Any help please.
HiI'm looking to return rows from a table where a column is LIKE a keyword. This is my current code:SELECT DISTINCT business_name FROM Table WHERE business_name LIKE @keyword + '%' ORDER BY business_name ASCThe problem with this is that if a business is called "The White Ship Inn", and the keyword to match is "White Ship" it will not match. If i put another wild card in front of @keyword then this finds too many matches - i need it to match against columns which either start with the keyword, or have a whitespace in front of them. Is there some kind of T-Sql i can use or will i have to go down the regex route (using this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/xpregex.aspx)) ?cheers

I want to know if it's avilable or not...
And if it's not available, I want to know any other efficient way to validate string.. manipulating Regular expression style validation.
Thank you all...
I need to remove all the [ and ] in every sql stmt where they are usedto close encircling numeric value, fyi, all these sql stmt areconverted from an Access db. For instance,select *from XYZtblwhere fieldA = [1] or fieldA = [2] or fieldA = [3]to beselect *from XYZtblwhere fieldA = 1 or fieldA = 2 or fieldA = 3-- and of course I'd have written in as follows, but that's not-- the pointselect *from XYZtblwhere fieldA IN (1,2,3)Thanks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am try to build a query which only matches whole words and so far I've got this.
Code:
SELECT *
FROM tblSearchWords
WHERE CorrectSpelling LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z0-9]blah[^a-zA-Z0-9]%'
This will return rows which contain the string 'blah' without any numeric or alphanumeric characters beside it. However it doesn't return the rows where 'blah' is either at the start or end of the string as it expects any character except a-zA-Z0-0.
Is there any way to accept string when there is nothing on either side as well?

Hi,I'm not a big friend of MSSQL, but I have to do one query I've done formySQL.But I don't know how...I have to select 'user' from 'db' where first letter is E or N, second is Bor 0 and after that there are 6 or 7 digits I know.How can I do that?In mySQL it would be something like:SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `account` regexp '^[EN][B0]123456$' ORDER BY`Id`;Thanks in advance,Martin
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am trying to exclude all strings that has 'a' inside (I havesimplified the actual problem)select 1where 'bb b a dfg' like '%[^a]%'However, the above does not work. By the way, I can not use 'not like'such as:select 1where 'bb b a dfg' not like '%a%'Although the above will work but the idea is that I have to use 'like'and not 'not like'. This is partly because I have to exclude rows froman exclusion table (a table that has many rows that will be excluded).Actually I want to include all srings that has lets say // in it usinga regular expression. I would like to write it as (I am sure it willnot work):select 1where column like '%[^/][^/]%'That should exclude strings like: 'aaa // aa aa' or 'bb bbb // bb' etcand include strings like: 'aaa aa aa' or 'bb aa nn' etcIs there any way to write a regular expression to do it? Otherrwise Ihave to solve this problem without using regular expressions in theexclusion table.Thanks.

I have a table which stores a big chunk of html text, which I have to search for and replace some strings.
How can I write a query that makes use of regular expressions to do the following:
Below is a block of example text
======================================================================
" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10> <img height=10 alt="" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10><img height=11 alt=""
http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blablablabla?OpenDocument src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.ns http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/d8d4f0dfa09ba71142256cc50040ee51/ee9b4493dac727be422571c30027df61? OpenDocument" target=_self>
======================================================================
Now I want to search and replace the string that is highlighted in red with something like "FOUND"
The below string is what I want to search for - I will used PATINDEX on the string below to find the start index of the string in the body, and then I will add on 114 to the when doing a replace:
'%http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/%some guid%/%some guid%?OpenDocument%'
For example
REPLACE
(
TheField,
SUBSTRING
(
TheField,
PATINDEX(''%http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/%some guid%/%some guid%?OpenDocument%', TheField),
,114
)
,
'FOUND'
)
QUESTION:
what would the regular expression be and how does one type it in the query?
I tried something like the below but it does not work, please advise .....
[a-z][0-9]{32} %/% [a-z][0-9]{32}
I have as csv-file wich I import into an SQL Server table. Now I want to do some checks on it. I use a conditional split to direct data to the other tables (1 table for the correct data, 1 table for the rejected data).
Is it possible to use a regular expression in a case in a conditional split to check if a columns has the right format?
If yes? How do I do that?
If no? What is the alternative?
Thanks!

I'm having problems designing a package to attempt to execute a fast load data transfer but failback to regular speed with error redirection in the event of an error.
The way I designed this was to add one data flow task to my package called "DFT FASTLOAD". The data flow copies a table SRC to another table DEST in the same SQL Server database. In the error handler for the data flow task I copied the original data flow task and changed the name to "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection". In this data flow task I did not use fast load and addtionally redirected errors to a text file.
In the Data Flow Task "DFT FASTLOAD". I am copying from a varchar source field(with non-date strings) to a datetime destination field to force errors. However the Data Flow Task "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection" never seems to start transferring data from source to destination. The data Flow Task "DFT REGULARLOAD with Error redirection" turns yellow (after the error occurs in "DFT FASTLOAD"), but no data is being transferred). It seems like it hangs.
Do I need to increase the MaximumError Count or something? The data flow task "DFT FASTLOAD" does not turn red when the error occurs it just remains yellow, so i assume I'm on the right track since it seems the error is caught.
I have added screenshots ... hopefully these screenshots will clarify my problem.

I'm new to SQL and I'm trying to write a statement to satisfy the following:

I had two tables where there were no matching keys. I did a cross apply and am now trying to parse out the description to build the key.
Hi,
Im a programmer for an university webportal which uses php and msssql.
When an user creates a new entry and his text is too long the entry is cut short and weird characters appear at the end of the entry.
For example:
http://www.ttz.uni-magdeburg.de/scripts/test-messedb/php/index.php?option=show_presse&funktion=presse_show_mitteilung&id=333
How can I set the text limit to unlimited?
Could it be something else?
Is there a way of splitting an entry to several text fields automatically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Chris
In SQL 2005 if i was trying to insert some data with a text qualifier inside a text qualified field, it would work, for example:
"Name","ID ","Location","","Comany",""House Name" Road",
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.
I have a column in a table that has a type TEXT,when I pull the length of a row it returns 88222 but when I select from that column it dows not show all the text in the result set.

I'm importing an Access database to SQL Server 2000.
The issue I ran into is pretty frustrating... All Memo fields that get copied over (as Text fields) appear to be fine and visible in SQL Server Enterprise Manager... except when I display them on the web via ASP - everything is blank (no content at all).
I didn't have that problem with Access, so I ruled out the possibility that there's something wrong with the original data.
Is this some sort of an encoding problem that arose during database import?
I would appreciate any pointers.
I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
i've a reasonable amount of experience with MS Access and less
experience with SQL Server. I've just written an .NET application that
uses an SQL Server database. I need to collate lots of data from around
the company in the simplest way, that can then be loaded into the SQL
Server database.
I decided to collect the info in Excel because that's what most people
know best and is the quickest to use. The idea being i could just copy
and paste the records directly into the SQL Server database table (in
the same format) using the SQL Server Management Studio, for
example.
Trouble is, i have a problem with line feed characters. If an Excel
cell contains a chunk of text with line breaks (Chr(10) or Chr(13))
then the copy'n'paste doesn't work - only the text up to the first line
break is pasted into the SQL Server database cell. The rest is not
pasted for some reason.
I've tried with MS Access too, copying and pasting the contents of a
memo field into SQL Server database, but with exactly the same problem.
I've tried with 'text' or 'varchar' SQL Server database field formats.
Since i've no experience of using different types of databases
interacting together, can someone suggest the simplest way of
transferring the data without getting this problem with the line feeds?
I don't want to spend hours writing scripts/programs when it's just
this linefeed problem that is preventing the whole lot just being
cut'n'pasted in 5 seconds!
cheers

Hi,
Can anyone point me any solution how to export a MEMO field from an Access database to a TEXT field from an MS SQL Server 2000. The import export tool from SQL server doesn't import these fields if they are very large - around 9000 characters.
Thanks.
Hi,I been reading various web pages trying to figure out how I can extract some simple information from the XML below, but at present I cannot understand it.
I have a MS SQL 2005 database with which contains a field of type text (external database so field type cannot be changed to XML)The text field in the database is similar to the one below but I have simplified it by remove many of the unneeded tags in the <before> and <after> blocks. I also reformatted it to show the structure (original had no spaces or returns)
For each text field in the SQL table contain the XML I need to know the OldVal and the NewVal.
<ProductMergeAudit> <before> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="OldVal"> </table> </before> <after> <table name="table1" description="Test Desc"> <product id="NewVal"> </table> </after></ProductMergeAudit>

I have a matrix report that has two columns, and one of the colums has the following expression for background color:
=IIF( Fields!Percentile.Value >= .10, "Yellow", "White")
Basically if the percent is greater than 10 highlight the field, for some reason i have some fields that dont show up yellow, see below:
http://duhaas.googlepages.com/percent.Jpg
I have run into what appears to be a strange bug (or I am expecting too much) in SQL Reporting Services.
I have a field with a dollar amount. If the dollar amount = 0, then the users want "NA" to display. I have this set-up correctly.
I have now found that if the dollar amount is displayed, they want the text box right aligned, and if the "NA" is displayed, then they want the text box to be center aligned.
I put the following expression in the "TextAlign" property setting...
Code Block
=IIF(Field.value = 0, Center, Right)
Now the IIF function is available in my expression window, and so is "Center" and "Right". But when I try to run the report, I get the error that "Center" is not declared.
So maybe this just is not possible in SQL Reporting Services, but I wanted to check before I told the users "no can do".
BTW, I tried "Left", "Right", and "General" in place of "Center" and got the same error.
Thank you,
T.J.
In SQL Reporting Services - How can you configure a textbox (in a table row/cell) to display (and more importantly print to hard copy) an underline area that is "appended" to the end of variable length text. The objective is to be able to print out a form with an identified area for handwritten text entry. I need the underlined area for the textbox to be "right aligned". For example,
Customer Satisfaction
Were you satisfied with the service(s) received? _________________________________________
How long did the service call take? ____________________________________________________
