Been looking all over for this and I don't think nested replace is the answer. I have a list of email address that I need to keep unique, but I need to make them all fake for testing. So my idea was to just replace the '.com', '.net', '.org' and so on to '.mydomain.com'. But there are a LOT of endings in total.
I realized I could just remove the # and add '#mydomain.com' to the end, but now I also want to figure out how to solve this particular problem.
Instead of doing:
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
UPDATE Customer
SET Email=REPLACE(Email, '.com','.mydomain.com')
where email not like '%.mydomain.com%'
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
for each case '.com', '.net', '.org'........
is there a way to say, replace all of these ('.com', '.net', '.org') with '.mydomain.com' in one statement?
something like this.
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
UPDATE Customer
SET Email=REPLACE(Email, (in ('.com', '.net', '.org')),'.mydomain.com')
where email not like '%.mydomain.com%'
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
Following the KISS principle, just run 3 separate queries.
update Customer set email = replace(email, '.com', '.mydomain.com') where email not like '%.mydomain.com%';
update Customer set email = replace(email, '.net', '.mydomain.com') where email not like '%.mydomain.com%';
update Customer set email = replace(email, '.org', '.mydomain.com') where email not like '%.mydomain.com%';
I think something like this should work.
UPDATE Customer
SET Email (case
where CHARINDEX(Email, '.com') > 0 then REPLACE(Email, '.com','.mydomain.com')
where CHARINDEX(Email, '.net') > 0 then REPLACE(Email, '.net','.mydomain.com')
where CHARINDEX(Email, '.org') > 0 then REPLACE(Email, '.org','.mydomain.com')
end)
where email not like '%.mydomain.com%'
May CHARINDEX can be replaced by any function that verify if a string contain a substring.
You can use an UPDATE ... FROM to join a derived table of the TLDs you want to replace. (You can also join a "real" table with the TLDs if you have one.)
UPDATE c
SET c.email = replace(c.email, concat('.', tld.tld), '.mydomain.com')
FROM customer c
INNER JOIN (VALUES ('com'),
('org'),
('net')) tld (tld)
ON c.email LIKE concat('%.', tld.tld)
WHERE c.email NOT LIKE '%.mydomain.com';
db<>fiddle
It won't solve the problem though that, if a substring that matches a TLD is in the string somewhere else as at the end, this substring also gets replaced. But probably that's not an issue here.
Another solution is to have nested replace statements:
update Customer set email = replace(replace(email, '.com', '.mydomain.com'), '.net', '.mydomain.com')
You can go on to as many levels as you want. You can even generate the replace statement dynamically.
Another possible solution is to use a stored procedure.

Could you please help?
You need to parse out the beginning of the email address to add it to the domain name. Do that by finding the CHARINDEX of the # symbol, then subtracting one. Use that value as the length parameter in a LEFT function call.
Once you have the name from the email address, CONCATenate it to the static value of your domainname\.
I included a WHERE clause that you may want to use if you have a large number of rows where the Username is already correct and you don't want to waste a bunch of writes replacing a string with a duplicate of that same string. You could leave the WHERE off if you prefer.
UPDATE People
SET Username = CONCAT('domainname\',LEFT([E-mailAddress],CHARINDEX('#',[E-mailAddress])-1))
WHERE
Username <> CONCAT('domainname\',LEFT([E-mailAddress],CHARINDEX('#',[E-mailAddress])-1));
If you are working on earlier versions (cause CONCAT() is for 2012+ versions) and also if you have NULLs in the UserName column, you can do like
CREATE TABLE T(
[E-MailAddress] VARCHAR(50),
UserName VARCHAR(45)
);
INSERT INTO T VALUES
('abc#domainname.com', 'abc'),
('zxc#fhlbdm.com', NULL),
('MNO#domainname.com', 'MNO'),
('pqr#domainname.com', 'pq'),
('tyu#domainname.com', 'domainname\tyu');
UPDATE T
SET UserName = 'domainname\' + LEFT([E-MailAddress], CHARINDEX('#', [E-MailAddress])-1)
WHERE 'domainname\' + LEFT([E-MailAddress] , CHARINDEX('#', [E-MailAddress])-1) <> UserName
OR
UserName IS NULL;
SELECT *
FROM T;
I have an nvarchar field in my database called CatCustom which contains comma-separated 5-character codes. It can contain as little as one code, or as many as 20 codes, separated by commas.
Right now, I use this query to add a new 5-character code to the field in given records (in this case the new code is LRR01):
UPDATE dbo.Sources
SET CatCustom = CONCAT_WS(', ', RTRIM(CatCustom), 'LRR01')
WHERE SourceID IN (1,2,3,4,5,8,9,44,63,45,101,102,222,344)
I need to add to this though: I need the record to be updated only if that 5-character code doesn't already exist somewhere in the CatCustom field, to ensure that code is not in there more than once.
How would I accomplish this?
EDIT: I really don't understand how this can be considered a duplicate of the suggested thread. This is a VERY specific case and has nothing to do with creating stored procedures and or variables. The alleged duplicated thread does not really help me - sorry.
Use STRING_SPLIT function to split the comma separated list and then add Not Exist condition in the WHERE clause like below
UPDATE dbo.Sources
SET CatCustom = CONCAT_WS(', ', RTRIM(CatCustom), 'LRR01')
WHERE SourceID IN (1,2,3,4,5,8,9,44,63,45,101,102,222,344)
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM STRING_SPLIT(CatCustom, ',') where value = 'LRR01')
UPDATE dbo.Sources
SET
CatCustom = CONCAT_WS(', ', RTRIM(CatCustom), 'LRR01')
WHERE
SourceID IN (1,2,3,4,5,8,9,44,63,45,101,102,222,344)
AND CatCustom NOT LIKE '%LRR01%';
I have a requirement to pull data in a specific format and I'm struggling slightly with the ROWTOCOL function and was hoping a fresh pair of eyes might be able to help.
I'm using 10g Oracle DB (10.2) so LISTAGG which appears to do what I need to achieve is not an option.
I need to aggregate a number of usernames into a string delimited with a '$' but I also need to concatenate another column to to build up email addresses.
select
rowtocol('select username_id from username where user_id = '||s.user_id|| 'order by USERNAME_ID asc','#'||d.domain_name||'$')
from username s, domain d
where s.user_id = d.user_id
(I've simplified the query specific to just this function as the actual query is quite large and all works except for this particular function.)
in the DOMAIN Table I have a number of domains such as 'hotmail.com','gmail.com' etc
I need to concatenate the username, an '#' symbol followed by the domain and all delimited with a '$'
such as ......
joe.bloggs#gmail.com$joeblogs#gmail.com$joe_bloggs#gmail.com
I've battled with this and I've got close but in reverse?!.....
gmail.com$joe.bloggs#gmail.com$joeblogs#gmail.com$joe_bloggs
I've also noticed that if I play around with the delimiter (,'#'||d.domain_name||'$') it has a tendency to drop off the first character as can be seen above the preceding '#' has been dropped from the first email address.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to get this working?
Many Thanks in advance!
Assuming you're using the rowtocol function from OTN, and have tables something like:
create table username (user_id number, username_id varchar2(20));
create table domain (user_id number, domain_name varchar2(20));
insert into username values (1, 'joe.bloggs');
insert into username values (1, 'joebloggs');
insert into username values (1, 'joe_bloggs');
insert into domain values (1, 'gmail.com');
Then your original query gets three rows back:
gmail.com$joe.bloggs
gmail.com$joe_bloggs#gmail.com$joebloggs
gmail.com$joe_bloggs#gmail.com$joebloggs
You're passing the data from each of your user IDs to a separate call to rowtocol, which isn't really what you want. You can get the result I think you're after by reversing it; pass the main query that joins the two tables as the select argument to the function, and have that passed query do the username/domain concatenation - that is a separate step to the string aggregation:
select
rowtocol('select s.username_id || ''#'' || d.domain_name from username s join domain d on d.user_id = s.user_id', '$')
from dual;
which gets a single result:
joe.bloggs#gmail.com$joe_bloggs#gmail.com$joebloggs#gmail.com
Whether that fits into your larger query, which you haven't shown, is a separate question. You might need to correlate it with the rest of your query.
There are other ways to string aggregation in Oracle, but this function is one way, and you already have it installed. I'd look at alternatives though, such as ThomasG's answer, which make it a bit clearer what's going on I think.
As Alex told you in comments, this ROWTOCOL isn't a standard function so if you don't show its code, there's nothing we can do to fix it.
However you can accomplish what you want in Oracle 10 using the XMLAGG built-in function.
try this :
SELECT
rtrim (xmlagg (xmlelement (e, s.user_id || '#' || d.domain_name || '$')).extract ('//text()'), '$') whatever
FROM username s
INNER JOIN domain d ON s.user_id = d.user_id
I'd like to have an Update Trigger that will let user update first part of the name but will will prevent the last part from being removed.
For example I have a column Srt_Name with CAR_GID23232 entry.
User should not have possibility to remove '_GID23232' part.
Here's what I came to, but it doesn't work:
IF EXISTS (
SELECT Srt_Name,Srt_Id
FROM inserted
WHERE Srt_Name not like '%_GID'+CONVERT(varchar(max),Srt_GidNumer)
)
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('Make sure that name ends with _GIDXXXX pattern.', 16, 1)
END
Try this one :
IF EXISTS (
SELECT Srt_Name,Srt_Id
FROM inserted
WHERE Srt_Name not like '%[_]GID'+CONVERT(varchar(max),Srt_GidNumer
)
I have an xml column called OrderXML in an Orders table...
there is an XML XPath like this in the table...
/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail
There InternalOrderDetails contains many InternalOrderDetail nodes like this...
<InternalOrderDetails>
<InternalOrderDetail>
<Item_Number>FBL11REFBK</Item_Number>
<CountOfNumber>10</CountOfNumber>
<PriceLevel>FREE</PriceLevel>
</InternalOrderDetail>
<InternalOrderDetail>
<Item_Number>FCL13COTRGUID</Item_Number>
<CountOfNumber>2</CountOfNumber>
<PriceLevel>NONFREE</PriceLevel>
</InternalOrderDetail>
</InternalOrderDetails>
My end goal is to modify the XML in the OrderXML column IF the Item_Number of the node contains COTRGUID (like '%COTRGUID') AND the PriceLevel=NONFREE. If that condition is met I want to change the PriceLevel column to equal FREE.
I am having trouble with both creating the xpath expression that finds the correct nodes (using OrderXML.value or OrderXML.exist functions) and updating the XML using the OrderXML.modify function).
I have tried the following for the where clause:
WHERE OrderXML.value('(/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/Item_Number/node())[1]','nvarchar(64)') like '%13COTRGUID'
That does work, but it seems to me that I need to ALSO include my second condition (PriceLevel=NONFREE) in the same where clause and I cannot figure out how to do it. Perhaps I can put in an AND for the second condition like this...
AND OrderXML.value('(/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel/node())[1]','nvarchar(64)') = 'NONFREE'
but I am afraid it will end up operating like an OR since it is an XML query.
Once I get the WHERE clause right I will update the column using a SET like this:
UPDATE Orders SET orderXml.modify('replace value of (/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel[1]/text())[1] with "NONFREE"')
However, I ran this statement on some test data and none of the XML columns where updated (even though it said zz rows effected).
I have been at this for several hours to no avail. Help is appreciated. Thanks.
if you don't have more than one node with your condition in each row of Orders table, you can use this:
update orders set
data.modify('
replace value of
(
/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/
InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/
InternalOrderDetail[
Item_Number[contains(., "COTRGUID")] and
PriceLevel="NONFREE"
]/PriceLevel/text()
)[1]
with "FREE"
');
sql fiddle demo
If you could have more than one node in one row, there're a several possible solutions, none of each is really elegant, sadly.
You can reconstruct all xmls in table - sql fiddle demo
or you can do your updates in the loop - sql fiddle demo
This may get you off the hump.
Replace #HolderTable with the name of your table.
SELECT T2.myAlias.query('./../PriceLevel[1]').value('.' , 'varchar(64)') as MyXmlFragmentValue
FROM #HolderTable
CROSS APPLY OrderXML.nodes('/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/Item_Number') as T2(myAlias)
SELECT T2.myAlias.query('.') as MyXmlFragment
FROM #HolderTable
CROSS APPLY OrderXML.nodes('/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/Item_Number') as T2(myAlias)
EDIT:
UPDATE
#HolderTable
SET
OrderXML.modify('replace value of (/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel/text())[1] with "MyNewValue"')
WHERE
OrderXML.value('(/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel)[1]', 'varchar(64)') = 'FREE'
print ##ROWCOUNT
Your issue is the [1] in the above.
Why did I put it there?
Here is a sentence from the URL listed below.
Note that the target being updated must be, at most, one node that is explicitly specified in the path expression by adding a "[1]" at the end of the expression.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190675.aspx
EDIT.
I think I've discovered the the root of your frustration. (No fix, just the problem).
Note below, the second query works.
So I think the [1] is some cases is saying "only ~~search~~ the first node".....and not (as you and I were hoping)...... "use the first node..after you find a match".
UPDATE
#HolderTable
SET
OrderXML.modify('replace value of (/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel/text())[1] with "MyNewValue001"')
WHERE
OrderXML.value('(/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel[text() = "NONFREE"])[1]', 'varchar(64)') = 'NONFREE'
/* and OrderXML.value('(/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/Item_Number)[1]', 'varchar(64)') like '%COTRGUID' */
UPDATE
#HolderTable
SET
OrderXML.modify('replace value of (/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel/text())[1] with "MyNewValue002"')
WHERE
OrderXML.value('(/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel[text() = "FREE"])[1]', 'varchar(64)') = 'FREE'
Try this :
;with InternalOrderDetail as (SELECT id,
Tbl.Col.value('Item_Number[1]', 'varchar(40)') Item_Number,
Tbl.Col.value('CountOfNumber[1]', 'int') CountOfNumber,
case
when Tbl.Col.value('Item_Number[1]', 'varchar(40)') like '%COTRGUID'
and Tbl.Col.value('PriceLevel[1]', 'varchar(40)')='NONFREE'
then 'FREE'
else
Tbl.Col.value('PriceLevel[1]', 'varchar(40)')
end
PriceLevel
FROM (select id ,orderxml from demo)
as a cross apply orderxml.nodes('//InternalOrderDetail')
as
tbl(col) ) ,
cte_data as(SELECT
ID,
'<InternalOrderDetails>'+(SELECT ITEM_NUMBER,COUNTOFNUMBER,PRICELEVEL
FROM InternalOrderDetail
where ID=Results.ID
FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS)+'</InternalOrderDetails>' as XML_data
FROM InternalOrderDetail Results
GROUP BY ID)
update demo set orderxml=cast(xml_data as xml)
from demo
inner join cte_data on demo.id=cte_data.id
where cast(orderxml as varchar(2000))!=xml_data;
select * from demo;
SQL Fiddle
I have handled following cases :
1. As required both where clause in question.
2. It will update all <Item_Number> like '%COTRGUID' and <PriceLevel>= NONFREE in one
node, not just the first one.
It may require minor changes for your data and tables.
