Can anyone help me to extract string in a SQL Server query?
declare #txt = ' TOWER LAKES 60010 *Friday, 10/17/1952 CLOUTIER FABRICANTE .'
I want to get 60010 and 10/17/1952 from that string.
I tried
select #txt
where #txt like '[0-9]/[0-9]/[0-9]
Any other way to extract that string?
This is not well understood question on what exactly format you want to extract from the string values.
But, as your query suggests that also could achieve by using patindex() with substring() function to get fixed digits numeric values and date values
SELECT
substring(#txt, patindex('%[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%', #txt), 5), Numeric_Values
substring(#txt, patindex('%[0-9][0-9]/[0-9][0-9]/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%', #txt), 10) Date_values

I am parsing a string which contains a (money) value in a varchar format.
Formatting is always like this: 12345,75 (varchar). Another input value could thus be 32323232,98 and so on...
Desired output = 12.345,75 (doesn't have to be output as a varchar).
So what I need is dots as thousand separators, and a comma for separating the two decimals (input value always has 2 decimals).
My attempt:
DECLARE #Num varchar(50)
SELECT FORMAT(CONVERT(numeric(10,2), REPLACE(#Num,',','.')), #Num, '#.00')
Error:
The culture parameter '#.00' provided in the function call is not supported.
Using MS SQL Azure 2019
The 'nl-nl' culture does exactly what you want. So, try using the third argument to format():
select format(1234567.888, '#,#.00', 'nl-nl')
I am trying to extract data from a string column. I need to get data similar to 'HFDD20200203300PM' from a string like : 'Atlas,WARM_HF,hotfix,web2020janHF,HFDD20200203300PM'
input2 : 'AEM_ARCH_REVIEW_DONE,Atlas,HFDD2020013000,hotfix,web2020janHF,WARM_HF' output2:'HFDD2020013000'
input3: 'Atlas,WARM_HF,hotfix,web2020janHF,HFDD20200203300PM' output3: 'HFDD20200203300PM'
For the above examples, the length and position of characters can't be standarardized. So I am unable to use SUBSTRING function.
I tried the following, but no results:
select
'Atlas,WARM_HF,hotfix,web2020janHF,HFDD20200203300PM'
where 'Atlas,WARM_HF,hotfix,web2020janHF,HFDD20200203300PM' like substring('''%HFDD%''',1,17)
Could someone please throw light on achieving the above output in SQL server?
Try this out if I understand your question right.
DECLARE #Desc VARCHAR(250) = 'Atlas,WARM_HF,hotfix,web2020janHF,HFDD20200203300PM'
SELECT SUBSTRING(#Desc, PATINDEX('%HFDD%', #Desc), 17)
DECLARE #STR VARCHAR(MAX)='Atlas,WARM_HF,hotfix,web2020janHF,HFDD20200203300PM'
SELECT SUBSTRING(#STR,CHARINDEX('HFDD',#STR),17)
I am trying to use a simple Translate function to replace "-" in a 23 digit string. The example of one such string is "1049477-1623095-2412303" The expected outcome of my query should be 104947716230952412303
The list of all "1049477-1623095-2412303" is present in a single column "table1". The name of the column is "data"
My query is
Select TRANSLATE(t.data, '-', '')
from table1 as t
However, it is returning 104947716230952000000 as the output.
At first, I thought it is an overflow error since the resulting integer is 20 digit so I also tried to use following
SELECT CAST(TRANSLATE(t.data,'-','') AS VARCHAR)
from table1 as t
but this is not working as well.
Please suggest a way so that I could have my desirable output
This is too long for a comment.
This code:
select translate('1049477-1623095-2412303', '-', '')
is going to return:
'104947716230952412303'
The return value is a string, not a number.
There is no way that it can return '104947716230952000000'. I could only imagine that happening if somehow the value is being converted to a numeric or bigint type.
Try regexp_replace()
Taking your own example, execute:
select regexp_replace('[string / column_name]','-');
It can be achieve RPAD try below code.
SELECT RPAD(TRANSLATE(CAST(t.data as VARCHAR),'-','') ,20,'00000000000000000000')
I have a table which has a column with doc locations, such as AA/BB/CC/EE
I am trying to get only one of these parts, lets say just the CC part (which has variable length). Until now I've tried as follows:
SELECT RIGHT(doclocation,CHARINDEX('/',REVERSE(doclocation),0)-1)
FROM Table
WHERE doclocation LIKE '%CC %'
But I'm not getting the expected result
Use PARSENAME function like this,
DECLARE #s VARCHAR(100) = 'AA/BB/CC/EE'
SELECT PARSENAME(replace(#s, '/', '.'), 2)
This is painful to do in SQL Server. One method is a series of string operations. I find this simplest using outer apply (unless I need subqueries for a different reason):
select *
from t outer apply
(select stuff(t.doclocation, 1, patindex('%/%/%', t.doclocation), '') as doclocation2) t2 outer apply
(select left(tt.doclocation2), charindex('/', tt.doclocation2) as cc
) t3;
The PARSENAME function is used to get the specified part of an object name, and should not used for this purpose, as it will only parse strings with max 4 objects (see SQL Server PARSENAME documentation at MSDN)
SQL Server 2016 has a new function STRING_SPLIT, but if you don't use SQL Server 2016 you have to fallback on the solutions described here: How do I split a string so I can access item x?
The question is not clear I guess. Can you please specify which value you need? If you need the values after CC, then you can do the CHARINDEX on "CC". Also the query does not seem correct as the string you provided is "AA/BB/CC/EE" which does not have a space between it, but in the query you are searching for space WHERE doclocation LIKE '%CC %'
SELECT SUBSTRING(doclocation,CHARINDEX('CC',doclocation)+2,LEN(doclocation))
FROM Table
WHERE doclocation LIKE '%CC %'
I'm looking for a way to transform a genuine string into it's hexadecimal value in SQL. I'm looking something that is Informix-friendly but I would obviously prefer something database-neutral
Here is the select I am using now:
SELECT SomeStringColumn from SomeTable
Here is the select I would like to use:
SELECT hex( SomeStringColumn ) from SomeTable
Unfortunately nothing is that simple... Informix gives me that message:
Character to numeric conversion error
Any idea?
Can you use Cast and the fn_varbintohexstr?
SELECT master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(CAST(SomeStringColumn AS varbinary))
FROM SomeTable
I'm not sure if you have that function in your database system, it is in MS-SQL.
I just tried it in my SQL server MMC on one of my tables:
SELECT master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(CAST(Addr1 AS VARBINARY)) AS Expr1
FROM Customer
This worked as expected. possibly what I know as master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr on MS-SQL, might be similar to informix hex() function, so possibly try:
SELECT hex(CAST(Addr1 AS VARBINARY)) AS Expr1
FROM Customer
The following works in Sql 2005.
select convert(varbinary, SomeStringColumn) from SomeTable
Try this:
select convert(varbinary, '0xa3c0', 1)
The hex number needs to have an even number of digits. To get around that, try:
select convert(varbinary, '0x' + RIGHT('00000000' + REPLACE('0xa3c','0x',''), 8), 1)
If it is possible for you to do this in the database client in code it might be easier.
Otherwise the error probably means that the built in hex function can't work with your values as you expect. I would double check the input value is trimmed and in the format first, it might be that simple. Then I would consult the database documentation that describes the hex function and see what its expected input would be and compare that to some of your values and find out what the difference is and how to change your values to match that of the expected input.
A simple google search for "informix hex function" brought up the first result page with the sentence: "Must be a literal integer or some other expression that returns an integer". If your data type is a string, first convert the string to an integer. It looks like at first glance you do something with the cast function (I am not sure about this).
select hex(cast SomeStringColumn as int)) from SomeTable
what about:
declare #hexstring varchar(max);
set #hexstring = 'E0F0C0';
select cast('' as xml).value('xs:hexBinary( substring(sql:variable("#hexstring"), sql:column("t.pos")) )', 'varbinary(max)')
from (select case substring(#hexstring, 1, 2) when '0x' then 3 else 0 end) as t(pos)
I saw this here:

Sorrry, that work only on >MS SQL 2005
OLD Post but in my case I also had to remove the 0x part of the hex so I used the below code. (I'm using MS SQL)
convert(varchar, convert(Varbinary(MAX), YOURSTRING),2)
SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varbinary,Addr1 ) ,1,1) as Expr1
