I have an integer field in a table and I want to make a query to format the integer value of this field in an char or double field with a especific format.
For example, if my value in the table is 123456 I want to format it as "###.###" what means the result should be like this: 123.456
I've done this using CONCAT function, but the result is not very elegant. I would like to use another funciont spacific for this purpose.
I would suggest doing this in your presentation layer rather than the DB.
This is pretty easy in C#:
// Assuming value is an int
value.ToString("N");
More details on formatting int in various ways see the Microsoft documentation
Maybe you would like to use formatting like '###,###.###' ?
Here is the example.
mysql> select FORMAT( 123446, 4 );
+---------------------+
| FORMAT( 123446, 4 ) |
+---------------------+
| 123,446.0000 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)
mysql> select FORMAT( 123446, 0 );
+---------------------+
| FORMAT( 123446, 0 ) |
+---------------------+
| 123,446 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I have the following table:
postgres=# \d so_rum;
Table "public.so_rum"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
-----------+-------------------------+-----------+----------+---------
id | integer | | |
title | character varying(1000) | | |
posts | text | | |
body | tsvector | | |
parent_id | integer | | |
Indexes:
"so_rum_body_idx" rum (body)
I wanted to do phrase search query, so I came up with the below query, for example:
select id from so_rum
where body ## phraseto_tsquery('english','Is it possible to toggle the visibility');
This gives me the results, which only match's the entire text. However, there are documents, where the distance between lexmes are more and the above query doesn't gives me back those data. For example: 'it is something possible to do toggle between the. . . visibility' doesn't get returned. I know I can get it returned with <2> (for example) distance operator by giving in the to_tsquery, manually.
But I wanted to understand, how to do this in my sql statement itself, so that I get the results first with distance of 1 and then 2 and so on (may be till 6-7). Finally append results with the actual count of the search words like the following query:
select count(id) from so_rum
where body ## to_tsquery('english','string & string . . . ')
Is it possible to do in a single query with good performance?
I don't see a canned solution to this. It sounds like you need to use plainto_tsquery to get all the results with all the lexemes, and then implement your own custom ranking function to rank them by distance between the lexemes, and maybe filter out ones with the wrong order.
I have a table like this:
I want to perform count on different set of columns (all subsets where there is at least one element from X and one element from Y). How can I do that in Postgres?
For example, I may have {x1,x2,y3}, {x4,y1,y2,y3},etc. I want to count number of "id"s having 1 in each set. So for the first set:
SELECT COUNT(id) FROM table WHERE x1=1 AND x2=1 AND x3=1;
and for the second set does the same:
SELECT COUNT(id) FROM table WHERE x4=1 AND y1=1 AND y2=1 AND y3=1;
Is it possible to write a loop that goes over all these sets and query the table accordingly? The array will have more than 10000 sets, so it cannot be done manually.
You should be able convert the table columns to an array using ARRAY[col1, col2,...], then use the array_positions function, setting the second parameter to be the value you're checking for. So, given your example above, this query:
SELECT id, array_positions(array[x1,x2,x3,x4,y1,y2,y3,y4], 1)
FROM tbl
ORDER BY id;
Will yield this result:
+----+-------------------+
| id | array_positions |
+----+-------------------+
| a | {1,4,5} |
| b | {1,2,4,7} |
| c | {1,2,3,4,6,7,8} |
+----+-------------------+
Here's a SQL Fiddle.
First: I'm using Access 2010.
What I need to do is pull everything in a field out that is NOT a certain string. Say for example you have this:
00123457*A8V*
Those last 3 characters that are bolded are just an example; that portion can be any combination of numbers/letters and from 2-4 characters long. The 00123457 portion will always be the same. So what I would need to have returned by my query in the example above is the "A8V".
I have a vague idea of how to do this, which involved using the Right function, with (field length - the last position in that string). So what I had was
SELECT Right(Facility.ID, (Len([ID) - InstrRev([ID], "00123457")))
FROM Facility;
Logically in this mind it would work, however Access 2010 complains that I am using the Right function incorrectly. Can someone here help me figure this out?
Many thanks!
Why not use a replace function?
REPLACE(Facility.ID, "00123457", "")
You are missing a closing square bracket in here Len([ID)
You also need to reverse this "00123457" in InStrRev(), but you don't need InStrRev(), just InStr().
If I understand correctly, you want the last three characters of the string.
The simple syntax: Right([string],3) will yield the results you desire.
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177532.aspx)
For example:
(TABLE1)
| ID | STRING |
------------------------
| 1 | 001234567A8V |
| 2 | 008765432A8V |
| 3 | 005671234A8V |
So then you'd run this query:
SELECT Right([Table1.STRING],3) AS Result from Table1;
And the Query returns:
(QUERY)
| RESULT |
---------------
| A8V |
| A8V |
| A8V |
EDIT:
After seeing the need for the end string to be 2-4 characters while the original, left portion of the string is 00123457 (8 characters), try this:
SELECT Right([Table1].[string],(Len([Table1].[string])-'8')) AS Result
FROM table1;
My connection string for MySQL is:
"Server=localhost;User ID=root;Password=123;pooling=yes;charset=utf8;DataBase=.;"
My questions are :
What query should I write to get database names that exist?
What query should I write to get server version?
I have error because of my connection string ends with DataBase=.
What should I write instead of the dot?
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA
SELECT VARIABLE_NAME, VARIABLE_VALUE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.GLOBAL_VARIABLES WHERE VARIABLE_NAME = 'VERSION'
Use INFORMATION_SCHEMA as the database.
To get the list of databases, you can use SHOW DATABASES:
SHOW DATABASES;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| test |
+--------------------+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)
To get the version number of your MySQL Server, you can use SELECT VERSION():
SELECT VERSION();
+-----------+
| VERSION() |
+-----------+
| 5.1.45 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
As for the question about the connection string, you'd want to put a database name instead of the dot, such as Database=test.
show Databases;
Will return you all the registered databases.
And
show variables;
will return a bunch of name value pairs, one of which is the version number.
I'm trying to find a way to match a query to a regular expression in a database. As far as I can tell (although I'm no expert), while most DBMS like MySQL have a regex option for searching, you can only do something like:
Find all rows in Column 1 that match the regex in my query.
What I want to be able to do is the opposite, i.e.:
Find all rows in Column 1 such that the regex in Column 1 matches my query.
Simple example - say I had a database structured like so:
+----------+-----------+
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
+----------+-----------+
| [a-z]+ | whatever |
+----------+-----------+
| [\w]+ | whatever |
+----------+-----------+
| [0-9]+ | whatever |
+----------+-----------+
So if I queried "dog", I would want it to return the rows with [a-z]+ and [\w]+, and if I queried 123, it would return the row with [0-9]+.
If you know of a way to do this in SQL, a short SELECT example or a link with an example would be much appreciated.
For MySQL (and may be other databases too):
SELECT * FROM table WHERE "dog" RLIKE(`Column 1`)
In PostgreSQL it would be:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE 'dog' ~ "Column 1";
