LEN(@RECORD) is a sufficient answer to the underlying question. I had remembered LEN and couldn't recall the @RECORD. Thank you.

Re: [U2] MS-SQL Question
Will your statements support something in the nature of :
SELECT
... ,
a.PID
, ...
FROM (
SELECT
... ,
substring(colname ,charindex('|',colname)+1, charindex('|',colname,
charindex('|',colname)+1) - charindex('|',colname) -1) as PID
, ...
FROM dbo.table
) a
WHERE PID = Selection criteria

It came back with unknown column error. I'll have to play with it again, it's
possible I typed something wrong, But at least for now, it's working the other
way I set it up.
Thanks

You created PID as a synonym in the SELECT statement, you should be able to use
it in the where clause. I am sure I have done that before in the past with SQL
Server.

That didn't work because it is not a virtual column defined in the table
layout. What I did was Created a variable in my program that contained the full
string, and when I was creating the SQL String to pass to the server, I used
the variable name instead.
It worked in the sense, I didn't have to retype the string multiple times, but
the SQL query that Was passed to the MSSQL machine did have it multiple times
still, but at least it's more manageable
From a programming standpoint, where I only have to make changes to one spot.

You should be able to just use PID in the where clause.

Subject: [U2] MS-SQL Question
I'm querying a sequel server , I have a column in one table that the data is in
the form of X|Y|Z.
I have the following in my SELECT:
substring(colname ,charindex('|',colname)+1, charindex('|',colname,
charindex('|',colname)+1) - charindex('|',colname) -1) as PID
Is there anyway that I can then use the PID designation in a where clause,
without having to retype the string again?
I can't add a virtual column to the table , and I can't add a procedure either.

RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START COMMIT/RO...
Is the audit trail allowed to keep a sorted list of rollback numbers? Open a process Request a number ... If rollback Insert the number into the Rollback List Else save record Close process Or if the goal is to consume all sequential numbers. Open a process Request the lowest number from the Rollback List If none then Request a number ... If rollback Insert the number into the Rollback List Else save record Close process When audited, show the completed items and the rollback list for a complete set of numbers.

Come on, people. A request was made for options... Okay so here goes: Write a service application (e.g. Windows service app) in Delphi that maintains a table of sequence numbers. Ensure you use a critical section (semaphore or Mutex wrapper) to make the incrementing routine thread safe. Use the Socket API or SOAP API to request the next number from the service. Have a second routine to place a number back on the stack in the event of a rollback. .. Seriously, if you are going to use transactions I would guess the only way to avoid maintaining the key for the duration of the transaction (to go back to the original post) would be to take it out of the transaction space e.g. outside the database and provide the sort of pop/push sequencing already discussed in this thread. But then that might be overcomplicating matters.. :-) Brian --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
