John,

It's a recruiter, which makes me wonder, because the number of recruiters in this town that understand and can evaluate the "goodness" of T-SQL code is less than 5. In...

That's kind of what I was thinking. Without context, the solution is somewhat meaningless. For example, in a previous job, I had to summarize data in tables that I...

Sweetbea,

How to post a T-SQL question on a public forum

It's impossible to answer your question as stated, because we can't see the table...

What did you try?

Did you try using CHARINDEX?

Can you subclass the entities? Essentially, the "main" table has an autoincrement primary key, and the "child"/subclass tables just inherit that key from Main. There's a really simple...

Are you trying to insert the entire PDF into a column in a table in your database? It's not entirely clear from your post.

Interesting... Thanks Sean and Luis for the gentle "schooling". I'll have to add that to my SSC database (the stuff I brazenly steal from here... hey, gotta learn somehow!)

Maybe I...

Nitin,

The short answer to your question is to use DelimitedSplit8K[/url] to split the text strings into different columns and then deal with those.

This was my first try splitting (just so...
