How exactly do I replace something by using wildcard characters?
I had tried with this but it doesn't work
UPDATE [dbo].[test]
SET [Fælge] = REPLACE([Fælge],'%ET%%%','')
I want all the ET** to be blank
My data looks like this and it goes from 4-12x10-24 ET0-99 plus a half like(4.5x13 ET35.5)
6x15 ET0|6.5x16 ET55|6x16 ET50|7x17 ET60|7x17 ET65
my data grouped and counted
i want both ET and the numbers to be blank so the data just looks like
6x15 |6.5x16 |6x16 |7x17 |7x17
I will assume that the sample data provided is indicating multiple rows. You can do this quite easily using LEFT and CHARINDEX.
if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Something') is not null
drop table #Something
create table #Something
(
SomeValue varchar(50)
)
insert #Something(SomeValue) values
('6x15 ET0'),
('6.5x16 ET55'),
('6x16 ET50'),
('7x17 ET60'),
('7x17 ET65')
update #Something
set SomeValue = rtrim(LEFT(SomeValue, CHARINDEX('ET', SomeValue) - 1))
select *
from #Something

I have a log table that has some records that have this type of pattern:
.... "RefundId":"re_1ABasdf234234343434", "..."....
I want to extract and return the value of the RefundId in a column in a select statement, is this possible?
If there is only one Refund_ID for each row then you can use something like this:
--Create table
create table T1 (
T1_id int identity(1,1) primary key clustered,
Log_Data varchar(max) null
)
--Insert test data
insert T1(Log_Data)
values('.... "RefundId":"re_1ABasdf234234343434", "..."....'),
(' "RefundId":"JHHJJHJHJHJJHJH", "..."....'),
(''),
(null)
--Get some results
select *, left(substring(Log_Data, patindex('%"RefundId":"%', Log_Data)+12, 20000000), patindex('%"%', substring(Log_Data, patindex('%"RefundId":"%', Log_Data)+12, 20000000)) + case when patindex('%"%', substring(Log_Data, patindex('%"RefundId":"%', Log_Data)+12, 20000000)) > 0 then -1 else 0 end ) Refund_ID
from T1
If there are multiple Refund_IDs for each value then you will have to find a different method.
You can use the keyword LIKE
SELECT RefundId
FROM MyTable
WHERE RefundId LIKE 'some pattern'
I have a table with a xml column.
I require to search for sub string in that xml column for all its node and value. Search should be case insensitive
Structure of XML in each row is different
I used below query to do that,
select * from TableName Where Cast(xmlcolumn as varchar(max) ) like '%searchString%'
this works for short length xml rows, if row length goes huge it cant handle the situation. Only partial of the data was searched.
Suggest me some other ways to achieve.
If this is one time task then I would use exist XML method thus:
DECLARE #Table1 TABLE (
ID INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
CommentAsXML XML
)
INSERT #Table1 (CommentAsXML)
VALUES (N'<root><item /><item type="Reg">0001</item><item type="Inv">B007</item><item type="Cus">A0001</item><item type="Br">F0001</item></root>')
INSERT #Table1 (CommentAsXML)
VALUES (N'<root><item /><item type="Reg">0005</item><parent><child>B007</child></parent><item type="Br">F0005</item></root>')
INSERT #Table1 (CommentAsXML)
VALUES (N'<root><item /><item type="Reg">0005</item></root>')
-- Following query is searching for B007 within InnerText of all XML elements:
SELECT *
FROM #Table1 t
WHERE t.CommentAsXML.exist('//*[lower-case(text()[1]) eq "b007"]') = 1
Results:
ID CommentAsXML
-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 <root><item type="Reg">0001</item><item type="Inv">B007</item><item type="Cus">A0001</item><item type="Br">F0001</item></root>
2 <root><item type="Reg">0005</item><parent><child>B007</child></parent><item type="Br">F0005</item></root>
Also, if you want to search for some text in XML atrributes' values then following XQuery could be used:
SELECT *
FROM #Table1 t
WHERE t.CommentAsXML.exist('//#*[lower-case(.) eq "reg"]') = 1
Note: in both cases, string constants (ex. "reg") should be with lower cases.
I start to work on old project and there is sql server database column which stores articles numbers for example as follows:
11.1006.45
11.1006.46
11.1006.47
01.10012.11
01.10012.12
2.234.1
2.234.2
2.234.3
657.104324.32
Every number contains 3 parts. First part describe what producent it is and that's something i have to change when user choose diffrent number for specific producent. For example producent number 2 will be now 13 so according to our examples:
2.234.1
2.234.2
2.234.3
has to be done this way right now:
13.234.1
13.234.2
13.234.3
I am looking for sql query which would find all records where producent number is e.g 2.xxxxx and then replace to 13.xxxxx. I would like this query to be secure to avoid any issues with numbers replacments.Hope you understand what i ment.
You could use this for update. '2. and 13.' could be any other string
DECLARE #SampleTable AS TABLE
(
Version varchar(100)
)
INSERT INTO #SampleTable
VALUES
('11.1006.45'),
('11.1006.46'),
('11.1006.47'),
('01.10012.11'),
('01.10012.12'),
('2.234.1'),
('2.234.2'),
('2.234.3'),
('657.104324.32')
UPDATE #SampleTable
SET
Version = '13.' + substring(Version, charindex('.', Version) + 1, len(Version) - charindex('.', Version))
WHERE Version LIKE '2.%'
SELECT * FROM #SampleTable st
Demo link: Rextester
update t
set t.col= replace(yourcol,substring(yourcol,1,charindex('.',yourcol,1),2)
from table t
this finds first character before first dot
substring(yourcol,1,charindex('.',yourcol,1)
then you use replace ,to replace it with whatever you need
You can use this query for multiple updation,
DECLARE #Temp AS TABLE
(
ArtNo VARCHAR(100)
)
INSERT INTO #Temp
VALUES
('11.1006.45'),
('11.1006.46'),
('11.1006.47'),
('01.10012.11'),
('01.10012.12'),
('2.234.1'),
('2.234.2'),
('2.234.3'),
('657.104324.32')
UPDATE #Temp
SET ArtNo = CASE WHEN SUBSTRING(ArtNo,1,CHARINDEX('.',ArtNo)-1) = '2' THEN STUFF(ArtNo,1,CHARINDEX('.',ArtNo)-1,'13')
WHEN SUBSTRING(ArtNo,1,CHARINDEX('.',ArtNo)-1) = '11' THEN STUFF(ArtNo,1,CHARINDEX('.',ArtNo)-1,'15')
ELSE ArtNo
END
SELECT * FROM #Temp
I have a comma-separated list column available which has values like
Product1, Product2, Product3
I need to search whether the given product name exists in this column.
I used this SQL and it is working fine.
Select *
from ProductsList
where productname like '%Product1%'
This query is working very slowly. Is there a more efficient way I can search for a product name in the comma-separated list to improve the performance of the query?
Please note I have to search comma separated list before performing any other select statements.
user defined functions for comma separation of the string
Create FUNCTION [dbo].[BreakStringIntoRows] (#CommadelimitedString varchar(max))
RETURNS #Result TABLE (Column1 VARCHAR(max))
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #IntLocation INT
WHILE (CHARINDEX(',', #CommadelimitedString, 0) > 0)
BEGIN
SET #IntLocation = CHARINDEX(',', #CommadelimitedString, 0)
INSERT INTO #Result (Column1)
--LTRIM and RTRIM to ensure blank spaces are removed
SELECT RTRIM(LTRIM(SUBSTRING(#CommadelimitedString, 0, #IntLocation)))
SET #CommadelimitedString = STUFF(#CommadelimitedString, 1, #IntLocation, '')
END
INSERT INTO #Result (Column1)
SELECT RTRIM(LTRIM(#CommadelimitedString))--LTRIM and RTRIM to ensure blank spaces are removed
RETURN
END
Declare #productname Nvarchar(max)
set #productname='Product1,Product2,Product3'
select * from product where [productname] in(select * from [dbo].[![enter image description here][1]][1][BreakStringIntoRows](#productname))
Felix is right and the 'right answer' is to normalize your table. Although, maybe you have 500k lines of code that expect this column to exist as it is. So your next best (non-destructive) answer is:
Create a table to hold normalize data:
CREATE TABLE ProductsList2 (ProductId INT, ProductName VARCHAR)
Create a TRIGGER that on UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE maintains ProductList2 by splitting the string 'Product1,Product2,Product3' into three records.
Index your new table.
Query against your new table:
SELECT *
FROM ProductsList
WHERE ProductId IN (SELECT x.ProductId
FROM ProductsList2 x
WHERE x.ProductName = 'Product1')
I know we can use LIKE for pattern matching, however, here is what want to do.
I have a table, which has a column, 'Pattern', the values are like:
host1%
%host2
....
I have another table, which has a column, 'Host'. The question is: how can I check whether the values in 'Host' table do not match any patterns in 'Pattern'?
If it is too complex, then a simplified question is: How can I check whether the values in 'Host' do not StartWith any strings in 'Pattern'?
We can use loop, but is there a better way? ideally, it should work for ql server 2008, but latest version will do.
thanks
Use where not exists followed by a subquery which checks each pattern against the current row of the table containing your data. i.e.
where not exists
(
select top 1 1
from #patterns p
where d.datum like p.pattern
)
Full Code for Working Example: SQL Fiddle
declare #patterns table
(
pattern nvarchar(16) not null
)
declare #data table
(
datum nvarchar(16) not null
)
insert #patterns
values ('host1%')
,('%host2')
insert #data
values ('host1234')
, ('234host1')
, ('host2345')
, ('345host2')
select *
from #data d
where not exists
(
select top 1 1
from #patterns p
where d.datum like p.pattern
)
select t1.host
from table_1 t1
left join table_2 t2 on t1.host like t2.pattern
where t2.pattern is null
