I have a table (defect ) where a column stores a text. Each line in this text represents a version. (this is clearquest database running microsoft SQL, accessed via JDBC)
For example, following data represents three versions a fix is made.
defect version_fixed
1 2015.1.1
2 2015.1.1\n2015.1.13
3 2015.1.12\n2015.1.1
4 2015.1.12\n2015.1.1\n2015.1.13
5 2015.1.13\n2015.1.10
5 2015.1.100
As you see the version is not stored in an order. It can appear anywhere.
I am interested in all rows with fix version fixed containing "2015.1.1". But my query either gets more rows or skips some
version_fixed like '%2016.1.1%' (gets row 5 as it matches the pattern)
version_fixed like '%2016.1.1\n'(does not get any thing.)
I am looking for query to get exact list for 2015.1.1
defect version_fixed
1 2015.1.1
2 2015.1.1\n2015.1.13
3 2015.1.12\n2015.1.1
4 2015.1.12\n2015.1.1\n2015.1.13
How can I query where text matches with "exact string, delimited by new line or end of text". What is the correct way to escape new line?
Side note: Current solution is to get all records(including unwanted one and then filter out incorrect results)
You could try this. It relies on Sql Server adding the newline to the string when you break the line.
create table defect( version_fixed varchar(max) )
insert into defect( version_fixed )
values ( '2015.1.1' )
, ( '2015.1.1
2015.1.13' )
, ( '2015.1.12
2015.1.1' )
, ( '2015.1.12
2015.1.1
2015.1.13')
, ( '2015.1.13
2015.1.10' )
, ( '2015.1.100' )
-- break to a new line and Sql Server will include the newline character in the string
select * from defect where version_fixed like '%2015.1.1
%' or version_fixed like '%2015.1.1'
You can as the below:
WHERE '\' + version_fixed + '\' LIKE '%2015.1.1\%'
This solution depands on your sample data.

I am trying to find a way to preserve a space within SQL concatenation.
For context: A table I am selecting from a table with a single concatenated key column. Concatenated keys respect spaces.
Example: BUKRS(4) = 'XYZ ', WERKS(4) = 'ABCD' is represented as key XYZ ABCD.
I am trying to form the same value in SQL, but it seems like ABAP SQL auto-trims all trailing spaces.
Select concat( rpad( tvko~bukrs, 4, (' ') ), t001w~werks ) as key, datab, datbi
from t001w
inner join tvko on tvko~vkorg = t001w~vkorg
left join ztab on ztab~key = concat( rpad( tvko~bukrs, 4, (' ') ), t001w~werks ) "This is why I need the concat
rpad( tvko~bukrs, 4, ' ' ) in this example returns XYZ, instead of XYZ , which leads to concatenated value being XYZABCD, rather than XYZ ABCD.
lpad seems to work just fine (returning XYZ), which leads me to believe I'm doing something wrong.
SQL functions don't accept string literals or variables (which preserve spaces in the same circumstances in ABAP) as they are non-elementary types.
Is there any way to pad/preserve the spaces in ABAP SQL (without pulling data and doing it in application server)?
Update: I solved my problem by splitting key selection from data selection and building the key in ABAP AS. It's a workaround that avoids the problem instead of solving it, so I'll keep the question open in case an actual solution appears.
EDIT: this post doesn't answer the question of inserting a number of characters which vary based on values in some table columns e.g. LENGTH function is forbidden in RPAD( tvko~bukrs, LENGTH( ... ), (' ') ). It's only starting from ABAP 7.55 that you can indicate SQL expressions instead of fixed numbers. You can't do it in ABAP before that. Possible workarounds are to mix ABAP SQL and ABAP (e.g. LIKE 'part1%part2' and then filtering out using ABAP) or to use native SQL directly (ADBC, AMDP, etc.)
Concerning how the trailing spaces are managed in OpenSQL/ABAP SQL, they seem to be ignored, the same way as they are ignored with ABAP fixed-length character variables.
Demonstration: I simplified your example to extract the line Walldorf plant:
These ones don't work (no line returned):
SELECT * FROM t001w
WHERE concat( 'Walldorf ' , 'plant' ) = t001w~name1
INTO TABLE #DATA(itab_1).
SELECT * FROM t001w
WHERE concat( rpad( 'Walldorf', 1, ' ' ), 'plant' ) = t001w~name1
INTO TABLE #DATA(itab_2).
These 2 ones work, one with leading space(s), one using concat_with_space:
SELECT * FROM t001w
WHERE concat( 'Walldorf', ' plant' ) = t001w~name1
INTO TABLE #DATA(itab_3).
SELECT * FROM t001w
WHERE concat_with_space( 'Walldorf', 'plant', 1 ) = t001w~name1
INTO TABLE #DATA(itab_4).
General information: ABAP documentation - SQL string functions
EDIT: working example added, using leading space(s).
i have a table on sql like this:
CD_MATERIAL | CD_IDENTIFICACAO
1 | 002323
2 | 00322234
... | ...
AND SO ON (5000+ lines)
I need to use that info to search and replace multiple external xml files on a folder (all the tags on those XML had numbers like the CD_IDENTIFICACAO from sql query, i need to replace with corresponding cd_material from sql query "ex.: 002323 becomes 1)
I used this query to extract all the cd_identificacao to use on Notepad++:
declare #result varchar(max)
select #result = COALESCE(#result + '', '') + CONCAT('(',CD_IDENTIFICACAO,')|') from TBL_MATERIAIS WHERE CD_IDENTIFICACAO <> '' ORDER BY CD_MATERIAL
select #result
That would bring me ex.:
(1TEC45D025)|(1TEC800039)|(999999999)|(542251)|(2TEC58426)|(234852)
and changed the parameters to get the replace ex.:
(? 2000)|(? 2001)|(? 2002)|(? 2003)|(? 2004)|(? 2005)
but i don't know how to add a number (increment) on front of "?" so notepad++ would understand it (search and replace would have 5000+ results, so it's not pratical to manually add the increment).
I was able to get a workaround for this. I've used this query to get all the the terms for find and replace i needed (1 per line)
select concat('<cProd>',cd_identificacao,'</cProd>'), concat('<cProd>',cd_material,'</cProd>') from tbl_materiais where cd_identificacao <> '' order by cd_material
That would result in:
<cProd>1TEC460054</cProd> <cProd>1</cProd>
<cProd>1TEC240035</cProd> <cProd>2</cProd>
(i added the tag too to make sure no other information could be replaced as there were many number combinations that could lead to incorrect replacement)
then pasted it on a txt and i used the notepad++ to replace the space between column 1 and 2 for /r/n wich would result in:
<cProd>1TEC460054</cProd>
<cProd>1</cProd>
<cProd>1TEC240035</cProd>
<cProd>2</cProd>
then i used "Ecobyte Replace Text" Tool, pasted my result file as new selection in bottom frame, loaded all my files on a new replace group on top frame (on properties of the group, u can change directory and options), then executed the replacement, it worked perfectly.
Thx.
I have string data in the following format:
MODELNUMBER=Z12345&HELLOWORLD=WY554&GADTYPE=PLA&ID=Z-12345
/DTYPE=PLA&ID=S-10758&UN_JTT_REDIRECT=UN_JTT_IOSV
and need to extract IDs based on two conditions
Starting after a pattern &ID=
Ending till the last character or
if it hits a & stop right there.
So in the above example I'm using the following code:
SUBSTRING(MyCol,(PATINDEX('%&id=%',[MyCol])+4),(LEN(MyCol) - PATINDEX('%&id%',[MyCol])))
Essentially looking the pattern &id=% and extract string after that till end of the line. Would anyone advise on how to handle the later part of the logic ..
My current results are
Z-12345
Z-12345&UN_JTT_REDIRECT=UN_JTT_IOSV
What I need is
Z-12345
Z-12345
Try this
SUBSTRING(MyCol, (PATINDEX('%[A-Z]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%',[MyCol])),7)
if you run into performance issues add the where clause below
-- from Mytable
WHERE [MyCol] like '%[A-Z]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
maybe not the most elegant solution but it works for me.
Correct syntax of PATINDEX
Here's one example how to do it:
select
substring(d.data, s.s, isnull(nullif(e.e,0),2000)-s.s) as ID,
d.data
from data d
cross apply (
select charindex('&ID=', d.data)+4 as s
) s
cross apply (
select charindex('&', d.data, s) as e
) e
where s.s > 4
This assumes there data column is varchar(2000) and the where clause leaves out any rows that don't have &ID=
The first cross apply searches for the start position, the second one for the end. The isnull+nulliff in the actual select handles the case where & is not found and replaces it with 2000 to make sure the whole string is returned.
I need to fetch Table's TOP_PK, IDENT_CURRENT, IDENT_INCR, IDENT_SEED for which i am building dynamic query as below:
sGetSchemaCommand = String.Format("SELECT (SELECT TOP 1 [{0}] FROM [{1}]) AS TOP_PK, IDENT_CURRENT('[{1}]') AS CURRENT_IDENT, IDENT_INCR('[{1}]') AS IDENT_ICREMENT, IDENT_SEED('[{1}]') AS IDENT_SEED", pPrimaryKey, pTableName)
Here pPrimaryKey is name of Table's primary key column and pTableName is name of Table.
Now, i am facing problem when Table_Name contains " ' " character.(For Ex. KIN'1)
When i am using above logic and building query it would be as below:
SELECT (SELECT TOP 1 [ID] FROM [KIL'1]) AS TOP_PK, IDENT_CURRENT('[KIL'1]') AS CURRENT_IDENT, IDENT_INCR('[KIL'1]') AS IDENT_ICREMENT, IDENT_SEED('[KIL'1]') AS IDENT_SEED
Here, by executing above query i am getting error as below:
Incorrect syntax near '1'.
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ') AS IDENT_SEED'.
So, can anyone please show me the best way to solve this problem?
Escape a single quote by doubling it: KIL'1 becomes KIL''1.
If a string already has adjacent single quotes, two becomes four, or four becomes eight... it can get a little hard to read, but it works :)
Using string methods from .NET, your statement could be:
sGetSchemaCommand = String.Format("SELECT (SELECT TOP 1 [{0}] FROM [{1}]) AS TOP_PK, IDENT_CURRENT('[{2}]') AS CURRENT_IDENT, IDENT_INCR('[{2}]') AS IDENT_ICREMENT, IDENT_SEED('[{2}]') AS IDENT_SEED", pPrimaryKey, pTableName, pTableName.Replace("'","''"))
EDIT:
Note that the string replace is now only on a new, third substitution string. (I've taken out the string replace for pPrimaryKey, and for the first occurrence of pTableName.) So now, single quotes are only doubled, when they will be within other single quotes.
You need to replace every single quote into two single quotes http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/70/posts/10827/understanding-single-quotes.aspx
I have an interesting SQL Server search requirement.
Say I have a table with Part Numbers as follows:
PARTNO DESCRIPTION
------ -----------
ABC-123 First part
D/12a92 Second Part
How can I create a search that will return results if I search, say, for 'D12A'?
I currently have a full text search set up for the description column, but I am looking to find parts that match the part no even when users don't include the / or - etc.
I'd rather do this in a single SQL statement rather than creating functions if possible as we only have read access to the DB.
You could do something like:
SELECT * FROM PART_TABLE
WHERE REPLACE(REPLACE(PARTNO,'/', ''),'-','') LIKE '%D12A%'
This would work for the 2 characters you specified and could be extended for more character like so:
SELECT * FROM PART_TABLE
WHERE REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(PARTNO,'/', ''),'-',''),*,'') LIKE '%D12A%'
Probably not the most elegant of solutions unless your special characters are limited. Otherwise I'd suggest writing a Function to strip out non-alphanumeric characters.
Here is an example of such a function:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_AlphaNumericChars
(
#String VARCHAR(MAX)
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #RemovingCharIndex INT
SET #RemovingCharIndex = PATINDEX('%[^0-9A-Za-z]%',#String)
WHILE #RemovingCharIndex > 0
BEGIN
SET #String = STUFF(#String,#RemovingCharIndex,1,'')
#RemovingCharIndex = PATINDEX('%[^0-9A-Za-z]%',#String)
END
RETURN #String
END
------- Query Sample (untested)---------
SELECT *
FROM PART_TABLE
WHERE DBO.udf_AlphaNumericChars(PARTNO) LIKE '%D12A%'
