I am unfamiliar with the built-in functions in SQL Server. I would like to display a numeric field with leading zeros. In oracle the sql stmt would be:
I'm attempting to move data from a text field to a numeric field, but I need to be able to remove any non-numeric characters in that field first, but I do not want to lose the numeric data.
In the code below, the Value table is the table that will be converted.
INSERT INTO IntegerValues (FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision) SELECT FK_ReferenceID,FK_ReferenceType,FK_FieldID,FieldProperty,Value,CreationDate,CreatedBy,Revision FROM StringValues WHERE FK_FieldID in (select id from ##tmpFields)
As part of a data search project I need to be able to strip all non numeric characters from a text field. The field contains various forms of phone number in various formats. In order to search on it I am going to remove all non numeric characters from the input criteria and from the data being searched.
In order to do this I decided on using a SQL Server custom function: Pass in field. Loop through all chars, test against asci values for number range. return only numernic data concatenated into a string.
Are there any other more efficient ways of going about this?
I am looking for the fastest way to strip non-numeric characters from a string.
I have a user database that has a column (USER_TELNO) in which the user can drop a telephone number (for example '+31 (0)12-123 456'). An extra computed column (FORMATTED_TELNO) should contain the formatted telephone number (31012123456 in the example)
Note: the column FORMATTED_TELNO must be indexed, so the UDF in the computed column has WITH SCHEMABINDING.... I think this implicates that a CLR call won't work....

when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric declare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
The 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are : @N = 21 @SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000 @SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error - SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
In my application I must store over 16000 character in a sql table field . When I split into more than 1 field it gives "unclosed quotation mark" message. How can I store over 16000 characters to sql table field (only one field) with language specific characters?
Hi everybody, I would like to know if there is any property in sql2000 database to separate lowercase characters from uppercase characters. I mean not to take the values €˜child€™ and €˜Child€™ as to be the same. We are transferring our ingres database into sqlserver. In ingres we have these values but we consider them as different values. Can we have it in sqlserver too?
Hello,Im calling a stored proc that has a numeric value as a varible.In the asp im using the code:myPrivate.Parameters.Add("@memberID", SqlDbType.Decimal, 18).Value = Decimal.Parse(uxToText.Text);I'm using decimal as there is no numeric sqldb type, is this correct? Also is the decimal parse correct as Im getting a 'Input string was not in a correct format' error.Thanks
Hello, I am from the school of thought that you should in every case have your primary keys as numeric values only. However, where I currently work there is a project leader who is a recent FoxPro convert (I know, they are tough ones to crack). I made the suggestion recently that the keys in the table should be numeric and with him being the project leader and me just a lowely developer he said get lost. I made the point that later joining your tables together in a PK/FK relationship where the keys where character would be slower then with numeric keys. He didn't listen and now we are approaching production with a database that is really just a bunch of text file. He said that with SQL 7 it doesn't matter if the pk is numeric or character. I disagree. But I need solid documentation to take to him and to the managers to convince them. If anyone out there could advise me on this. And if anyone could give me or tell me where I could find documentation on why even in SQL 7 there is a need to use numeric keys that would be a great help and you would be making one more shop in this world a little bit more technically sound :-) Thank you in advance for your help.
Is there a numeric data type that formats the number with commas - eg 1000 becomes 1,000 and 1000000 becomes 1,000,000. Having tried several numeric data types the commas are removed. I tried entering 1000 into MS Access on the same machine and hey presto - it spits out 1,000.
I'm having trouble with a query where I need to limit a resultset by comparing (using a WHERE clause) a field that is alphanumeric with one that is numeric. I've tried converting, casting, and case statements, but I either get an overflow error or a big slap on the wrist by SQL Server 2005. Does anyone have any good solutions to this? I've been racking my brain for a while now.
INSERT INTO [AdventureWorksDW].[dbo].[DimSaleType]
([SaleType]

'Internet Sales')
.... Error:

String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
Table info ------------- SaleType pk char(1) SaleTypeDescription nchar(10)
It seems that the primary key field accepts numeric data, isn't it possible to have a primary key with non-numeric data? This is because this is a lookup table with a small number of rows.
I am keep getting an arithmetic overflow converting float to type numeric when running a script that looks something like this.
insert into table1 ( column1 ) select column2 from source server.
column1 is a numeric (28,8) and column2 is float. there are about 2000000 records in column2, and I know that when I tried just copying the top 1000000 wasn't a problem.
does anyone know what could be causing this problem???
*it's not because the data in column2 is out of range.
Here's my LINQ code:pl = (from p in db.Table where p.ID == 1 orderby p.NumericField descending select p).Take(7); As you can see, I'm trying to sort by a numeric field. Specifically, it's a Numeric(5,0) field. Problem is, the results aren't coming back numeric order. If this is good LINQ code, perhaps it's something else in my app. I just want to make sure this LINQ code is good. Thanks in advance
I'm using a DTS package to import a large CSV file. There is a particular column that contains text or numbers. I want to delete the row if that column has a number, I've used IsNumeric in the selection portion of the statement, but can't figure out how to use it as part of my where clause.
