    Anyone around willing to take a readability review of an article (though will probably be split in two) I'm in the middle of writing? I need a...

  • RE: join data on strings

    Here's a unique way of doing the special / invisible character search. Your mileage may vary:

    DECLARE @y xml;

    SET @y=(SELECT MyID, MyColumn

    from MyTable where MyColumn=''

    FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS XSINIL);

    SELECT convert(varchar(5000),@y);

    EDIT: You'll...

    Ah. Stefan found the Substring version I was trying to do. I forgot about starting location in CharIndex(). No wonder I couldn't get it to work.

    You're welcome, Roy. Glad we...

  • RE: Group by

    Here's a brute force solution:

    SELECT CASE WHEN Substring(IPAddress,3,1) = '.' AND Substring(IPAddress,6,1) = '.' THEN Substring(IPAddress,1,5)

    WHEN Substring(IPAddress,3,1) = '.' AND Substring(IPAddress,7,1) = '.' THEN Substring(IPAddress,1,6)

    WHEN Substring(IPAddress,4,1) = '.'...

    Much as I'd love to use one of those two options, we can't use unapproved software or components.
