Databases :: How To Split Values From A Column Using Sql
Nov 28, 2010
I am developing web application using csharp and MS SQL as database. There is a column in table that is storing values which as numbers and letters. Letters are in front like JK26262, JK26263,JK26263.
Now I want to select numbers only from a table column and leave letters. In other words I want an select statement that will select values as follows:
I've a database table contains survey questions and answers. But the problem is both 'question' and 'answer' are saved in the same column(like below).
SubmissionDate Submission 2010-02-15 14:53:59.657 ***What's your pet's name?*** Lili ***Tell us about yourself*** I'm a teacher 2010-02-15 14:53:59.657 ***What's your pet's name?*** Lucy ***Tell us about yourself*** I'm a five star cook
I'd like to use a simple datagrid to display the survey result, but I need to separate the submission column into multiple columns ('question' as column name, 'answer' as data) the number of questions or questions being asked are different for each survey so they are not fixed. Is it even possible to get something like this below in a gridview?
SubmissionDate What's your pet's name? Tell us about yourself 2010-02-15 14:53:59.657 Lili I'm a teacher 2010-02-15 14:53:59.657 Lucy I'm a five star cook
I have a column with a random length of text, basically it's an old crappy mfg system that stores data in a tilde delimited list. I need to output this column into each seperate column for a view. Column names don't matter, they can all be unnamed but so long as the data returns as seperate columns is what I'm after.
I have a gridview that is displaying a time format like so 00:00:00 I need to split that into 3 seperate values so i can set my dropdowns to those values.
what can i search on to accomplish this.. im taking 3 drop downs and combining them into 1 value before the page is submitted.. but at a later time if you want to resubmit the form, you can pick from a list of values you have already used. so i need to take that value and split it to set the dropdowns.
I would like to know if someone can please help me with the followingI would like to create a bulk entering textbox...every sentence seperated by a line break should go in to the Database as a new column.....Im gonna use SqlDatasource for the inserting..How can I get all the sentences to break up at the linebreak and then get inserted in a separate database column?
In one grid there is only one column and entries are 100+, all entries are hyperlink entries, but the gridview does not look nice with one column and 100+entries, is there any way I can split that entries in 3-4 coluns to look even.
suppose i've created my own user control, and it has a textbox and a property for the textbox so that if i use the user control from within the aspx file, i can give the property a value. for example:
[Code]....
is it possible to also set the property to be seen via the desing mode , just as it works for other (built in) controls? maybe a different method to implement the same scenario?
if you still didn't understand what i mean : after setting the value of DefaultNum1 via the code i've written here, i expect the textbox associated with this property to be updated as well to '1' via the design mode (and split mode). of course it won't work using the current method, since VS cannot guess what is going on with the property and understand that all of its purpose is to assign an initialization value for the textbox.
I have a table converted from Access and the identity keys were lost. Now I need to make the id column the identity column, but it already has a lot of null values, how do I auto generate integer values for the null rows? The row ids are incremented, so if there is a way to auto increment the ids
Now the issue is that that every document doesn't has document number. I want to make invisible the docuNumber column of the grid viwe if all values in the docNumber retrieved are null.for example:
docnumber tite null Document 1
null Document 2
null doucment 3
null document 4
if returned result match above where all docnumber are null then make the gridviwe docnumber column ivisible eslemake the greidviwe column visible.
I'm getting a "no data exists for the row/column" error when i am giving wrong value in key column and press button to import data from excel,how can i fix this error and avoid collapsing the application.
I have read the excel in asp.net. I am using OledbDatareader for read the column name.
[Code]....
Now my problem is the "date" field. If Excel sheet having column name "Date" then i got the error. i could not use the Column index because its also not fix. How can i ignore the upper case charactors in column name ?
I am doing Import/Export. While export i want to disable some column in excel sheet, so during upload or import same primary key I can use, instead of user modify such column.
environment: VS2008, MySQL 5.1.45, .net Connector 6.2.2
Error msg:
NoNullAllowedException: Column 'idNames' does not allow nulls.
The MySQL DB has on "idNames" (Primary Key) a tick-mark for: primary Key, Not Null, Auto-Increment Also: I can add/retrieve records via the 'MySQL Query Browser'; I see the data via VS2008 'Preview Data'!
As said in the comment below; when the 'idNames' is explicitely given the rows.add works fine. So it seems that I miss something around the 'auto-increment' business!
I tried to query an excel file which contains a lot of customers' information but my problem is most of those don't have a specific column names. E.g. it's in the following format. (Excel File)
A B C Info1 blur blur Info2 blur blur Info3 blur blur
So, when I query using SqlDbDataAdapter, in my DataTable, info1 blur blur becomes column header. e.g. it's in the following format. (DataTable)
Info1 blur blur Info2 blur blur Info3 blur blur
I been working on it so that it actually goes down one row and Change the column name in the DataTable into some appropiate name. Something like the following format.
Is there any way that I could work around it rather than actually going back to change the excel files ? Because I have like 1,000 excel files in that kinda format and seriously giving me headache now.
