The field can have values like

’1. text here € 100.000 text here’

normally amount will start with €. How can i extract € 100.000 or just 100.000 from the field?

“How to find the column values with special characters?”

PatIndex = CHARINDEX + Wild card characters

WildCard characters are :
%
_
[]
Example For PATINDEX:
SELECT CHARINDEX(‘kan’, ‘Hi Friends this is srikanth from suvara technosoft ‘)
SELECT PATINDEX(‘%___ka%h%’, ‘Hi Friends this is srikanth from suvara technosoft ‘)

select * from sysobjects where id in (select id from syscolumns where name =’empid’)

SELECT left(SCREDITCARDNO,6)+’******’+right(SCREDITCARDNO,4) FROM ContactDetails

I have a requirement to change a column’s value in a table carrying 16 digit credit card number(Column name is ‘SCREDITCARDNO’ and data type is varchar(50),table name is ‘ContactDetails’) into—->

First 6 digit of credit card number, followed by ****** (6 starts) and then followed by last 4 digit of the credit card number.

It’s SQL Srver 2005.

Please help me with this.

Software considers only ‘Comma’. So its not working. I think, i need to check individually.
So my option is export it to excel, Ctrl+F, check the fields where commas exist, then replace in sql. Still, its too time consuming. Thanks for ur suggestion. I can use it for some other softwares.

Thanks for your response. I will do it tomorrow and will let you know.

You should export data to CSV with text qualifier like “. So your data looks like: “Tejas, Shah”,”AAAA”,”BBB” etc..

So when software tries to import it, it will not consider “,” between qualifier.

Let me know if it helps you.

I usually get a data from our clients in SQL. I need to import it in a software which can import it only in csv format. If there is a comma in any field in SQL (by error) it makes it as a separate column while exporting. Then the software throws an error. Hence before exporting it to a csv file, I want to know, if there is any comma in any of the fields. I know the query

where column_name like ‘%,%’

But the problem is, there are more than 60 columns to be checked. It is very time consuming. So is there is any other simple way to search it in Database as a whole (rather than columnwise).

select columns from table
where data like ‘%fcCount%’

I have a table that contains a field where I store several items, and one of them is an IP address, enclosed in pipes.
Example:

DEVICE IP: |192.168.2.90| Puerto: 1117 01234567890 14142422 Resultado Positivo!

The IP of course is different in lenght for each record; I am using this function:

SELECT id, SUBSTRING(transaccion, CHARINDEX(‘|’, transaccion)+1,15) AS ip FROM Mydatabase.dbo.Mytable

But it is extracting another string with a constant lenght.

Is there a way to extract the IP, using a function letting know SQL that the string is enclosed by Pipes?

Thank you all!

SELECT t.name AS table_name,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name,
c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
WHERE c.name = ‘empid’
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;

set @string = ‘Peninsula Inv00estment Management Comçagement Comç0estment’
set @string1 = replace(@string, char(231), ”)
select rtrim(@string1)

the output is
Peninsula Inv00estment Management Comagement Com0estment

DECLARE @sql varchar(2000)
SELECT @sql =

SELECT
‘(”’ + c1 + ”’)’
FROM

SET @sql = ‘SELECT COUNT(*) WHERE ”XX” IN ‘ + ” + @sql + ”
