I want to store my user information into database with Uname first letter upper case and lname first letter uppercase. Doesn't matter how user insert data, it should be store in db as
Input: sachin tendulkar
Database: Sachin Tendulkar
I need Insert query for this. I know we can use update / select query but specially looking for insert query.
Appreciate your answer.
Thanks,
In SQL Server. If first and last names are stored in separate columns you can do something like:
CREATE TABLE #Tbl
(
FirstName NVARCHAR(MAX)
)
DECLARE #FirstName NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'tom'
INSERT INTO #Tbl (FirstName) VALUES (UPPER(LEFT(#FirstName,1))+LOWER(SUBSTRING(#FirstName,2,LEN(#FirstName))))

create table using select statement in place of table_name.
I want to create a table with the name B100 where '100' is the maximum value of id in table 'A'
example:
table A:
id name
100 harsh
78 Vishal
23 Ivan
34 Hardik
need to create table with name 'B{max_value_of_id_in_A}'.
the fields in table B is the same (id, name);
what I try:
create table CONCAT('B', (Select max(id) from A))
(
id int,
name varchar(50)
)
To do this, you need to use dynamic sql. A quick and dirty example is:
create table test(id smallint, name varchar(15));
insert test (id, name) values
(98, 'harsh'), (78, 'Vishal'), (23, 'Ivan'), (34, 'Hardik');
declare #sql nvarchar(200);
set #sql = N'create table B' + format((select max(id) from test), 'D3')
+ N'(
id int,
name varchar(50)
);'
select #sql;
exec(#sql);
exec('select * from B098');
Notice that I had to resort to dynamic sql to actually use that table within the same batch. As the others have suggested, you should reconsider the path you have chosen for many reasons. Perhaps foremost is that this requires a rather advanced level of skill - you will likely need much help to make use of your table. You should consult with your DBA to get their opinion (and permission).
This may be a very basic question, but I have been struggling with this.
I have a SSMS query that I'll be using multiple times for a large set of client Ids. Its quite cumbersome to have to amend the parameters in all the where clauses every time I want to run it.
For simplicity, I want to convert a query like the one below:
SELECT
ID,
Description
From TestDb
Where ID in ('1-234908','1-345678','1-12345')
to a query of the format below so that I only need to change my variable field once and it can be applied across my query:
USE TestDb
DECLARE #ixns NVARCHAR(100)
SET #ixns = '''1-234908'',''1-345678'',''1-12345'''
SELECT
ID,
Description
From TestDb
Where ID IN #ixns
However, the above format doesn't work. Can anyone help me on how I can use a varchar/string variable in my "where" clause for my query so that I can query multiple IDs at the same time and only have to adjust/set my variable once?
Thanks in advance :D
The most appropriate solution would be to use a table variable:
DECLARE #ixns TABLE (id NVARCHAR(100));
INSERT INTO #ixns(id) VALUES
('1-234908'),
('1-345678'),
('1-12345');
SELECT ID, Description
FROM TestDb
WHERE ID IN (SELECT id FROM #ixns);
You can load ids to temp table use that in where condition
USE TestDb
DECLARE #tmpIDs TABLE
(
id VARCHAR(50)
)
insert into #tmpIDs values ('1-234908')
insert into #tmpIDs values ('1-345678')
insert into #tmpIDs values ('1-12345')
SELECT
ID,
Description
From TestDb
Where ID IN (select id from #tmpIDs)
The most appropriate way is to create a table type because it is possible to pass this type as parameters.
1) Creating the table type with the ID column.
create type MyListID as table
(
Id int not null
)
go
2) Creating the procedure that receives this type as a parameter.
create procedure MyProcedure
(
#MyListID as MyListID readonly
)
as
select
column1,
column2
...
from
MyTable
where
Id in (select Id from #MyListID)
3) In this example you can see how to fill this type through your application ..: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25871046/8286724
I am working on an application that populates values from sql Database in a format two numeric and alpha character e.g 11G,34H. There is no validation or check for the same.I want to put put checkpoint/validation from Database end.Is it possible to implement via SQL procedure or anything.Can anyone help me with the code.
Try the below query
DECLARE #strtable TABLE (column1 VARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #strtable
VALUES ('11H'),('sda'),('175HH'),('1H1'),('282')
INSERT INTO YourTable (Column1)
SELECT Column1
FROM #strtable
WHERE LEN(column1)=3
AND ISNUMERIC(LEFT(column1,2))=1
AND ISNUMERIC(RIGHT(column1,1))!=1
--Output : 11H
I'm writing a query that inserts customer data into a MSSQL database. Very basic.
Unfortunately, I ran into a problem when trying to do the following:
INSERT INTO USERS(newid(),'BOB''S SELECT MARKETING')
I made sure to escape my quotes, but the server is still seeing SELECT as a reserved keyword. I don't want to have to wrap a bunch of reserved words in brackets. Is there a cleaner way of getting my data in the database intact and not mangled by brackets?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you!
You are missing the Key word VALUES:
INSERT INTO USERS VALUES (NEWID(),'BOB''S SELECT MARKETING');
You have several choices of syntax here. Using the one in your code sample, you forgot the VALUES keyword. For example:
declare #users table
(
id uniqueidentifier,
name varchar(50)
)
insert into #users values (newid(), 'BOB''S SELECT MARKETING')
You can also use the insert into / select statement like below if you are inserting a value into each one of the table's columns:
declare #users table
(
id uniqueidentifier,
name varchar(50)
)
insert into #users
select newid(), 'BOB''S SELECT MARKETING'
Or you can use the insert into / select statement and specify the columns you are inserting:
declare #users table
(
id uniqueidentifier,
name varchar(50)
)
insert into #users (id, name)
select newid(), 'BOB''S SELECT MARKETING'
I have a row of strings that are in the following format:
'Order was assigned to lastname,firsname'
I need to cut this string down into just the last and first name but it is always a different name for each record.
The 'Order was assigned to' part is always the same.......
Thanks
I am using SQL Server. It is multiple records with different names in each record.
In your specific case you can use something like:
SELECT SUBSTRING(str, 23) FROM table
However, this is not very scalable, should the format of your strings ever change.
If you are using an Oracle database, you would want to use SUBSTR instead.
Edit:
For databases where the third parameter is not optional, you could use SUBSTRING(str, 23, LEN(str))
Somebody would have to test to see if this is better or worse than subtraction, as in Martin Smith's solution but gives you the same result in the end.
In addition to the SUBSTRING methods, you could also use a REPLACE function. I don't know which would have better performance over millions of rows, although I suspect that it would be the SUBSTRING - especially if you were working with CHAR instead of VARCHAR.
SELECT REPLACE(my_column, 'Order was assigned to ', '')
For SQL Server
WITH testData AS
(
SELECT 'Order was assigned to lastname,firsname' as Col1 UNION ALL
SELECT 'Order was assigned to Bloggs, Jo' as Col1
)
SELECT SUBSTRING(Col1,23,LEN(Col1)-22) AS Name
from testData
Returns
Name
---------------------------------------
lastname,firsname
Bloggs, Jo
on MS SQL Server:
declare #str varchar(100) = 'Order was assigned to lastname,firsname'
declare #strLen1 int = DATALENGTH('Order was assigned to ')
declare #strLen2 int = len(#str)
select #strlen1, #strLen2, substring(#str,#strLen1,#strLen2),
RIGHT(#str, #strlen2-#strlen1)
I would require that a colon or some other delimiter be between the message and the name.
Then you could just search for the index of that character and know that anything after it was the data you need...
Example with format changing over time:
CREATE TABLE #Temp (OrderInfo NVARCHAR(MAX))
INSERT INTO #Temp VALUES ('Order was assigned to :Smith,Mary')
INSERT INTO #Temp VALUES ('Order was assigned to :Holmes,Larry')
INSERT INTO #Temp VALUES ('New Format over time :LootAt,Me')
SELECT SUBSTRING(OrderInfo, CHARINDEX(':',OrderInfo)+1, LEN(OrderInfo))
FROM #Temp
DROP TABLE #Temp
