Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me with this SQL statement.
The column 'options.option Descrip' is a varchar field.
Some values of the 'options.option Descrip' contain commas, some do
not.
We are trying to evaluate against any data in the
'options.option Descrip' column located to the left of a comma (if a
comma does exist, which it may not). If no comma exists, then we try
and evaluate against the entire field, not just the part to the left
of the comma.
SELECT options_options Groups.idProduc t FROM options_options Groups
JOIN Options ON options_options Groups.idOption =options.idOpti on
JOIN products ON options_options Groups.idProduc t=products.idPr oduct
WHERE (CASE WHEN CharIndex(',',o ptions.optionDe scrip) = 0 THEN
options.optionD escrip LIKE '" & gauge & "%' ELSE
Left(options.op tionDescrip,Cha rIndex(',',opti ons.optionDescr ip)) LIKE
'" & gauge & "%' END)
Thanks for any input you can provide, I appreciate it. 1 6183

One option is to add a comma at the end of your field, so there always
is at least one:
SELECT LEFT(options.op tionDescrip,
CHARINDEX(',',o ptions.optionDe scrip+',')-1)
FROM Options

I use statements like LEFT(textstring,6) in my app. I have "Imports
Microsoft.VisualBasic" at the top of the code but to use LEFT I have to code
:
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(sting, integer)
If I code just "Left" it is flagged as an error with the message
"Public Overloads Property Left() As Integer has no parameters and its
return type cannot be indexed"

Hello,
I need to be able to replace only the first occurance of a space character
in a column.
Reason being is the data in the column I am trying to replace seems to have
umpteen space characters after each entry, so a simple replace function
will replace all the spaces after it with what I want!
I have thought of RTRIM to get rid of the spaces after and then replace, I
have also thought of CHARINDEX to find the first occurance of a...

Hi,
I'm curious about the computational complexity of a query I have. The
query contains multiple nested self left joins, starting with a simple
select, then doing a self left join with the results, then doing a self
left join with those results, etc. What puzzles me is that the time
required for the query seems to grow exponentially as I add additional
left joins, which I didn't expect. I expected the inner select to
return about 25...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
