  Hi SQL GURU's,

  Im trying to compare 2 table but i dont want that Table2 use a text .noc in the result.

  Following syntax was just:

  select snetworkname from WhatsUp.dbo.NetworkInterface right outer join WhatsUp.dbo.device on WhatsUp.dbo.NetworkInterface.nNetworkInterfaceID = whatsup.dbo.device.nDefaultNetworkInterfaceID

  where sNetworkName NOT IN (select item_keya as snetwork from dbo.item where item_keya is not null and item_keya <> '')

  I get the following result:

  AA-SR-CO-0007.noc

  abb-beanr-wrh1.noc

  abb-be-s-cmzav.noc

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH10.noc

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH6.noc

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH7.noc

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH8.noc

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH9.noc

  abb-lustn-wrh1.noc

  abb-nlamv-wrh1.noc

  ABB-NLEDE-WRH3.noc

  ABB-NLETT-WRH2.noc

  ABB-NLRTM-WRH1.noc

  ABB-NLRTM-WRH2.noc

  You see that the colums networkname ends always with '.noc'...

  The column item_keya dont have the .noc in his results. What i want is een syntax that gives the results without .noc in it and still compare with the columns. Like this results:

  AA-SR-CO-0007

  abb-beanr-wrh1

  abb-be-s-cmzav

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH10

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH6

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH7

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH8

  ABB-BEZAV-WRH9

  abb-lustn-wrh1

  abb-nlamv-wrh1

  ABB-NLEDE-WRH3

  ABB-NLETT-WRH2

  ABB-NLRTM-WRH1

  ABB-NLRTM-WRH2

  How can i get that result and still compare with the two tables?

  I have just the Like syntax but that not what im looking for because he take only the words..

  You just need to replace the .noc out on the join. ie..

  from t1

  join t2

  on t1.cola = replace(t2.cola,'.noc','')

  can you use my SYntax what you mean?

  select snetworkname from WhatsUp.dbo.NetworkInterface right outer join WhatsUp.dbo.device on WhatsUp.dbo.NetworkInterface.nNetworkInterfaceID = whatsup.dbo.device.nDefaultNetworkInterfaceID

  where sNetworkName NOT IN (select item_keya as snetwork from dbo.item where item_keya is not null and item_keya <> '')

  Because i want the 2 tables they must be compare together and only give me values there not in table item_keya...

  Only the table snetworkname have in the value '.noc' so i get an result that says that every device not in my system is.. But is not true because '.noc' is the problem so i want that snetworkname disable the '.noc' and still have the value..

  like this?

  SELECT

  snetworkname,

  REPLACE(sNetworkName,'.noc','')

  FROM WhatsUp.dbo.NetworkInterface

  RIGHT OUTER JOIN WhatsUp.dbo.device

  ON WhatsUp.dbo.NetworkInterface.nNetworkInterfaceID = whatsup.dbo.device.nDefaultNetworkInterfaceID

  WHERE REPLACE(sNetworkName,'.noc','') NOT IN (SELECT

  REPLACE(item_keya,'.noc','') AS snetwork

  FROM dbo.item

  WHERE item_keya IS NOT NULL

  AND item_keya <> '')
