i would make a script that iterate over the records of a table with a cursor
and extract from a column value formatted like that "yyy://xx/bb/147011"
only the final number 147011and to put this value in a variable.
It's possible to do something like that?
Many thanks.
You don't need a cursor for this. You can just use a query. The following gets everything after the last /:
select right(str, charindex('/', reverse(str)) - 1 )
from (values ('yyy://xx/bb/147011')) v(str)
It does not specifically check if it is a number, but that can be added as well.
You can also use the below query.
SELECT RIGHT(RTRIM('yyy://xx/bb/147011'),
CHARINDEX('/', REVERSE('/' + RTRIM('yyy://xx/bb/147011'))) - 1) AS LastWord
If numeric value has exact position defined with sample data, then you can do :
SELECT t.*, SUBSTRING(t.col, PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', t.col), LEN(t.col))
FROM table t;

I have table Project with a column name Name with values in the format SYS_12345_Value. I want to update this Name field such that its value in every row is replaced by the term after second _ in its value.
At the moment it looks like SYS_82058_INDIGO and I want to replace it with INDIGO and the same for all the rows in the table.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks alot.
UPDATE : Tried #GordonLinoff's solution as follows
UPDATE Project
SET Name = (select right(str, charindex('_', reverse(str)) - 1) from (values (Name)) v(str))
WHERE Name like '%SYS%'
String manipulation in SQL Server is usually tricky. But if you want the last component, you can use:
select *,
right(str, charindex('_', reverse(str)) - 1)
from (values ('SYS_82058_INDIGO')) v(str)
Use a couple of nested CHARINDEX functions. This assumes that every row has 2 underscore (_) characters:
UPDATE dbo.YourTable
SET YourColumn = STUFF(YourColumn,1,CHARINDEX('_',YourColumn,CHARINDEX('_',YourColumn)+1),'');
I want to get sub string my output should look like gmail,outlook,Skype.
my string values are
'abc#gmail.com'
'cde.nitish#yahoo.com'
'xyz.vijay#sarvang.com.com'
somthing like this as you can see its having variable length with mix symbol '.' and '#'
string values store in table form as a column name Mail_ID and Table name is tbl_Data
i am using sql server 2012
i use chart index for getting sub string
select SUBSTRING(Mail_ID, CHARINDEX('#',MAil_ID)+1, (CHARINDEX('.',MAil_ID) - (CHARINDEX('#', Mail_ID)+1)))
from tbl_data
And i want my output like:
'gmail'
'yahoo'
'sarvang'
Please help me i am newbies in sql server
This is my solution. I first get the position of the '#', and then get the position of the '.' in the string prior to it (the '#'). Then I can use those results to get the appropriate substring:
SELECT V.YourString,
SUBSTRING(V.YourString,D.I,A.I - D.I) AS StringPart
FROM (VALUES('abc#gmail.com'),
('cde.nitish#yahoo.com'),
('xyz.vijay#sarvang.com.com'))V(YourString)
CROSS APPLY(VALUES(CHARINDEX('#',V.YourString)))A(I) --Get position of # to not repeat logic
CROSS APPLY(VALUES(CHARINDEX('.',LEFT(V.YourString,A.I))+1))D(I) --Get position of . to not repeat logic
Note for value of 'abc.def.steve#... it would return 'def.steve'; however, we don't have such an example so I don't know what the correct return value would be.
I'm posting this as a new answer, a the OP moved the goal posts from the original answer. My initial answer was based on their original question, not their "new" one, and it seems silly to remove an answer that was correct at the time:
SELECT V.YourString,
SUBSTRING(V.YourString,A.I, D.I - A.I) AS StringPart
FROM (VALUES('abc#gmail.com'),
('cde.nitish#yahoo.com'),
('xyz.vijay#sarvang.com.com'))V(YourString)
CROSS APPLY(VALUES(CHARINDEX('#',V.YourString)+1))A(I)
CROSS APPLY(VALUES(CHARINDEX('.',V.YourString,A.I)))D(I);
This answers the original version of the question.
This may be simplest with a case expression to detect if there is a period before the '#':
select (case when email like '%.%#%'
then stuff(left(email, charindex('#', email) - 1), 1, charindex('.', email), '')
else left(email, charindex('#', email) - 1)
end)
from (values ('abc#gmail.com'), ('cde.nitish#yahoo.com'), ('xyz.vijay#sarvang.com.com')) v(email)
I create a temp table with your data and write below query its worked
CREATE TABLE #T
(
DATA NVARCHAR(50)
)
INSERT INTO #T
VALUES('abc#gmail.com'),
('cde.nitish#yahoo.com'),
('xyz.vijay#sarvang.com.com')
SELECT *,LEFT(RIGHT(DATA,LEN(DATA)-CHARINDEX('#',DATA,1)),CHARINDEX('.',RIGHT(DATA,LEN(DATA)-CHARINDEX('#',DATA,1)),1)-1)
FROM #t
AND its a output of my T-SQL
abc#gmail.com gmail
cde.nitish#yahoo.com yahoo
xyz.vijay#sarvang.com.com sarvang
For example, I have got a string with table name and the schema like:
[dbo].[statistical]
How can fetch just the table name statistical out from this string?
This is what PARSENAME is used for:
SELECT PARSENAME('[dbo].[statistical]', 1)
SELECT PARSENAME('[adventureworks].[dbo].[statistical]', 1)
SELECT PARSENAME('[adventureworks]..[statistical]', 1)
SELECT PARSENAME('[statistical]', 1)
SELECT PARSENAME('dbo.statistical', 1)
-- all examples return 'statistical'
You could alternatively try this:
declare #s varchar(100) = 'asd.stadfa';
select reverse(substring(s, 1, charindex('.', s) - 1)) from (
select reverse(#s) s
) a
charindex returns first occurence of character, so you reverse initial string to make last dot first. Then you just use substring to extract first part of reversed string, which is what you are looking for. Finally, you need to apply reverse one more time to reverse back extracted string :)
Have a ncarchar(MAX) field in SQL table. It has numbers such as 717.08064182582, 39.0676048113, etc. in which I need to only have 3 places after decimal. For instance 717.080, 39.067.
Without converting the field type, would like to get rid of those last n characters, however every row has different number of characters. I believe I could use ROUND (correct me if wrong), but would rather not.
Try this
SELECT CAST(ColumnName AS DECIMAL(18,3))
Without converting it data type As per #vkp Comment
SELECT SUBSTRING(ColumnName ,0,CHARINDEX('.', ColumnName )+4)
select CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('.', Your_column) > 0
THEN SUBSTRING(Your_column, 1, CHARINDEX('.', Your_column) + 3)
ELSE Your_column
END
this is similar as previous answers but more faster and safer
Try this:
SELECT SUBSTRING(Your_column, 1, PATINDEX('%.%', Your_column) + 3)
FROM Your_Table
Using T-SQL, how would I go about getting the last 3 characters of a varchar column?
So the column text is IDS_ENUM_Change_262147_190 and I need 190
SELECT RIGHT(column, 3)
That's all you need.
You can also do LEFT() in the same way.
Bear in mind if you are using this in a WHERE clause that the RIGHT() can't use any indexes.
You can use either way:
SELECT RIGHT(RTRIM(columnName), 3)
OR
SELECT SUBSTRING(columnName, LEN(columnName)-2, 3)
Because more ways to think about it are always good:
select reverse(substring(reverse(columnName), 1, 3))
declare #newdata varchar(30)
set #newdata='IDS_ENUM_Change_262147_190'
select REVERSE(substring(reverse(#newdata),0,charindex('_',reverse(#newdata))))
=== Explanation ===
I found it easier to read written like this:
SELECT
REVERSE( --4.
SUBSTRING( -- 3.
REVERSE(<field_name>),
0,
CHARINDEX( -- 2.
'<your char of choice>',
REVERSE(<field_name>) -- 1.
)
)
)
FROM
<table_name>
Reverse the text
Look for the first occurrence of a specif char (i.e. first occurrence FROM END of text). Gets the index of this char
Looks at the reversed text again. searches from index 0 to index of your char. This gives the string you are looking for, but in reverse
Reversed the reversed string to give you your desired substring
if you want to specifically find strings which ends with desired characters then this would help you...
select * from tablename where col_name like '%190'
