  • RE: SP with substring

    Before you jump in and try this on a production database, test it first on a copy of the data that you can replace if it gets messed up.

    Calendar table is definitely the best way to go.

    Here's a mathematical method, using a Numbers table.

  • RE: SP with substring

    Is "desprod" the column you want to change?

    If so, try this first:

    select replace(desprod,left(desprod,PATINDEX('%/%',desprod)),'')

    from dbo.MyTable;

    You'll need to use the actual table name, where I have "MyTable".

    Does that give you a list...

  • RE: Exec @SQL not working

    Right before you execute the string, add "print @sql", see what you get.

  • RE: Charindex?

    It'll depend completely on your specific data.

    For example, do you have any entries that aren't simply last-comma-first? Like "Smith, Jr, John" ("John Smith, Jr")? Do they all have...

  • RE: Procedure is slower than select statement

    The most likely answer is parameter sniffing. Gail Shaw has a good article on that at http://sqlinthewild.co.za/index.php/2007/11/27/parameter-sniffing/.

    Read that, and if you still need help on it, please post the...

  • RE: SP with substring

    @result is just a variable being used for the sample code.

    You'd use your column name instead.

  • RE: Do nothing in a sql statement--help

    Just on the T-SQL part of this:

    if not (a=0 and b=0)

    Then leave "else" out of it.

    Of course, that will return positive if a equals 0 and b doesn't, or vice...
