Hi Pinal,

Please solve my problem.
I have fired 1 ‘UPDATE” query which updated some thousand plus records in the table which I never wanted. This is because I had forgotten to mention the ‘where” clause in the query so it the entire record.
Now I want to know is there some way in which I can get original records.
I had run the query without ‘BEGIN TRAN’ so ROLLBACK command is also not working.

Thanks,
Bobby

Hi
can you help?
i need to get a segment of string from a string, using sql
( using SUBSTRING ?)

lets say that this is my string (ofcourse its yours)

“If you have to reverse “complete” string. I would rather suggest use following script rather than using the UDF above. The purpose of the UDF is to reverse”

my search looks for the word “complete” inside the string
but i need it to return a string that contains ten words before “complete” and ten words after “complete”

this is my sql:

SELECT Title, URL, LEFT(News, CHARINDEX(‘ ‘, News, 10)) AS ShortDescr
FROM MyTable
WHERE FREETEXT(News, ‘complete’)

Thanks in advance
Mei
