GET/Remove the last character from a string in SQL Server

In some of cases we need remove last character from the string.In this tip we will see how to get and remove last character in string.

Sample string: 'DotNetMirror,'

Now we will remove , from the string.

Get Last Char in string:

Declare @STRING varchar(100)

set @STRING='DotNetMirror,'

select RIGHT(@String, 1)

Remove the last char(comma) in string :

IF(LEN(@String)> 0 AND RIGHT(@String, 1) = ',')

BEGIN

select substring(@String, 1, (len(@String) - 1)) --or

SET @String = LEFT(@String, LEN(@String) - 1)

END

select @String

 


 

Iterating/Looping through rows without using cursors in Sql server

In this snippet we will see how to  iterating the table rows data with out using cursor in SQL server.

 

set nocount on go declare @tempEmpTable table(EmpID int , EmpName nvarchar(100)) declare  @varEmpID int, @varEmpName nvarchar(100) insert into @tempEmpTable select 1, '1st Employee' union all select 2, '2nd Employee' union all select 3, '3rd Employee' union all select 4, '4th Employee' union all select 5, '5th Employee' union all select 6, '6th Employee' union all select 7, '7th Employee' union all select 8, '8th Employee' union all select 9, '9th Employee' select top 1 @varEmpID = EmpID, @varEmpName = EmpName  from @tempEmpTable   while @varEmpID is not null begin                 print @varEmpName                 delete  @tempEmpTable   where @varEmpID = EmpID                 set @varEmpID = null                          select top 1 @varEmpID = EmpID, @varEmpName = EmpName  from @tempEmpTable   end

Output: 1st Employee 2nd Employee 3rd Employee 4th Employee 5th Employee 6th Employee 7th Employee 8th Employee 9th Employee

javascript not setting the hidden field value in ASP.NET

Today when i tried to change the value of hidden filed in java script, its not setting the value. I am using master page for an ASPX page.

<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnTest" runat="server" Value="Before JS Call" />

In java script method, when I try to assign the value it’s not getting replaced with new value.

document.getElementById('<%=hdnTest.ClientID%>').value = 'After JS Call';

then i replaced with below code

document.getElementById('ContentPlaceHolder1_hdnTest').value = 'After JS Call';

and it worked out.

Not sure with the reason but its resolved!

Rollback Transaction for table variable in sql server

Table variable is special kind of data type which will store result set and the data will returned for processing. Table variable can be used in store procedures and functions.

Table variables have limited scope and data will be stored in temporary storage so they are not affected with transaction roll backs.

In the below script we will see practically how rollback behaves for table variable.

DECLARE @student AS Table (id INT,Name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL)   BEGIN TRY     BEGIN TRANSACTION            INSERT INTO @student Values(1,'Ram')     INSERT INTO @student Values(2,'Rahim')     INSERT INTO @student Values(3,NULL)     INSERT INTO @student Values(4,'Rohan')     COMMIT TRANSACTION     SELECT *,Name FROM @student -- will not return data due to error at id=3 END TRY BEGIN CATCH     ROLLBACK TRANSACTION     SELECT *,id FROM @student END CATCH

Output:

 In summary, we can say that Rollback Transaction does not work for table variables.

convert IP address to binary format using IPAddress Class in C#

In this snippet we will see how to convert an IP address to binary format using System.Net.IPAddress class.

static List<string> ConvertIPAddressToBinary(string input)         {            IEnumerable<string> binaries= IPAddress.Parse(input).GetAddressBytes().Select( x=> Convert.ToString(Convert.ToInt32(x), 2).PadLeft(8, '0'));            return binaries.ToList();         }     static void Main()         {             List<string> listBinaries = ConvertIPAddressToBinary(“192.168.0.1”)             foreach (string binary in listBinaries)             {                 Console.Write(binary + " ");             }         }

Output : 11000000 10101000 00000000 00000001

IPAddress class contains the address of a computer on an IP network and supports IPv4 or IPv6.
