Yes, it sounds like you're doing the right thing.

Hi,
I need regular expressions in SQL Server for two things
- Get the first 3 characters from a string, no matter alphabets or numerical values but not special characters, like for example if I have file name A00Temp then it should give me A00 and if the string is _A00Temp then still it should give me the A00 only but not _A0, if it has ABCTemp then it should give me ABC
- the 2nd need is if I have a string with alphabets, numerical and special characters then it should give me only alphabets from that string
for exmple if I have: Abc def 230 then I should get abcdef, if I the string is _abc$#def then I should get only abcdef.
If I can do this using regular expressions, please help me, any type of help is very welcome, thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Abdul Aleem

How i Access Other sql database in oracle sql app , database is open , I want that data for creating reports.
its my client database ,

This is not very clear.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

SQL 2012:
I have two tables, AttemptedRuns and Bays
This
SELECT *
FROM NexGen.dbo.AttemptedRuns
WHERE BaySerialNumber = '1545300531'
Produces 317 rows. The table has a column called 'BaySerialNumber'
So I want to join on bays so I can retrieve the BayLocation:
SELECT ar.Id as AttemptedRunId,
ar.AccessionId,
ar.StartTime,
ar.BaySerialNumber,
ar.CartridgeId,
ar.Result as AttemptedRunResult,
b.Location as BayLocation
FROM NexGen.dbo.AttemptedRuns ar
LEFT JOIN NexGen.dbo.Bays b on b.SerialNumber = ar.BaySerialNumber
WHERE ar.BaySerialNumber = '1545300531'
The problem is that I now get 1902 rows. It's duplicating the AttemptedRuns rows. See here
What I am looking for is to get the BayLocation from the Bays table for each AttemptedRow row.
What am I doing wrong??

There are more matches than 1 to 1. If you change it to SELECT * you'll see all the fields in both tables and can then see why you are getting more than one match.

OK, but what I really want is to just get the BayLocation for each AttemptedRun record.
Is this possible?

I believe that is what you have originally:
SELECT ar.Id as AttemptedRunId,
ar.AccessionId,
ar.StartTime,
ar.BaySerialNumber,
ar.CartridgeId,
ar.Result as AttemptedRunResult,
b.Location as BayLocation
FROM AttemptedRuns ar
LEFT JOIN Bays b on b.SerialNumber = ar.BaySerialNumber
WHERE ar.BaySerialNumber = '1545300531'
This says to get all attempted runs and if there is a bay that matches on BaySerialNumber to get its information as well.

Correct, What I'm looking for is the APPEND the BayLocation to the end of each row of AttemptedRun data

But you have 6 matching rows in Bays. BaySerialNumber is not unique. That is why you need to run SELECT * and see why you are getting extra. Perhaps there is another field, like status, that you need to take into account. We can't know because we can't see all the data.

Well you are right. Turns out there are 6 rows in Bays with the same serial number. I was operating under the assumption that the serial number was unique.

No problem. You may find that you need to use a different column to ensure uniqueness. Or there may be another table altogether. Who knows. Good luck.

Ya I learned that the hard way 
First, I haven't done SQL in a while, so it's a bit blurry. Second, I don't really know the data too well.
it's all fun & games now

Unless I mistake what you're asking, that should be doable using a correlated subquery. Something along the lines of
SELECT *,
(SELECT BayLocation FROM NexGen.dbo.Bays AS bl WHERE bl.SerialNumber = ar.BaySerialNumber) AS [MyNewColumn]
FROM NexGen.dbo.AttemptedRun AS ar
WHERE BaySerialNumber = '1545300531' That is assuming that each bay is uniquely numbered on said field.

If you look at the data in his screenshot you'll see that there are different values for BayLocation per run so this approach would give an error about multiple records in a subquery.

I didn't look; he said he wanted the entire record, and add a single column. Means it is also easy to debug the subquery by using a value from the database as example.
There will probably be multiple records with the same ar.BaySerialNumber, and I'm hoping that b.SerialNumber is the primary key (or at least uniquely indexed) on the Bays-table. Even if there's a one to one relation, that should work.
So, what the schema of the tables? Would be nice to have a CREATE script for both tables
--edit
Asking the wrong person, and was already solved.

Colleagues:
I have developed a product for Microsoft's SQL Server database. It is a source control tool very similar to what both Red-Gate and ApexSQL are offering but priced very affordably for individual developers. Unlike these two competing products, my software is designed with localized storage so that the files can be easily transferable to another machine that has my software installed.
The reason I developed this product was directly related to the many experiences I had in both my consulting assignments and full-time employment where I found that with the exception of those companies that had complete database groups, source control for applications was often poor and erratic while for database version control of SQL's object scripts it was non-existent.
On a number of occasions, while developing database applications and alongside that, the SQL procedures and modules to support these applications, I found my efforts hindered by others going in and changing those modules I was working on or even completely wiping them out without my ability to save them on a regular basis so that I could recover them if necessary.
Though my product has had several hundred downloads over the time I have been offering it I have received no sales. However, what has dismayed me even more is the lack of comments about my software that would give me an inkling as to why people who had downloaded the product chose not to pursue a purchase.
To date I have received one review by a download site that appeared to go through my software on a legitimate basis and liked it very much. Their only complaint was the "stodgy" interface, which I have since modernized.
I would like additional input to this effort to better understand if there is something in my work that is deficient or it is merely a marketing issue. As a result, I am offering 5 to 10 license keys to those developers that would take the time to review my product for me and give me some of the insight I am looking for.
My software is called, "SQL Server Source Control for Developers" and can be downloaded as a 30-day trial package from my business site... Black Falcon Software
These freely available keys will unlock the trial version making it a full version, which can be installed on up to 5 separate machines.
To obtain one of these licenses, simply contact me at my email address below and I will forward it to you.
If any of you would be willing to take the time out to work with my software and provide your comments to it as a result, it would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you...

I don't seem to be getting this right in VB. I get an error in casting the result as an Integer, in which the result may not exist.
ProductInfo_Inventory should be a join to get a count
Dim cStatus As Integer = context.ProductInfo_Inventory.Where(Function(m) m.partNumber = p_PartNumber).Select(Function(m) m.currentStatus).DefaultIfEmpty()
This is the whole thing. Not every item has a record in inventory for it's optional. So I'm not really sure how to properly handle this in VB
My new program is much better and in c#, so I seem to be doing better in that now.
pValue = context.ProductInfo.Where(Function(m) m.PartNumber = p_PartNumber).Count()
Dim cStatus = context.ProductInfo_Inventory.Where(Function(m) m.partNumber = p_PartNumber).Select(Function(m) m.currentStatus).DefaultIfEmpty()
If (cStatus = 4) Then
dV = False
Else
dV = If(pValue > 0, True, False)
End If

The first question is, what is the type of currentStatus?. If it's non-numeric or beyond the limits of integer, the cast will fail.
Another thing is that if the current status is nullable (or reference type) then the default would be null which cannot be cast to integer.
The most accurate information is in the error message, but you didn't post that.

I had a customer walk in while posting and I hit post without much details, sorry about that; my bad.
This just determines if an item really exist, in case someone messed with the query string and put bad chars in there, or if an item was marked for deletion.
I went with this; cStatus is an Integer.
pValue = context.ProductInfo.Where(Function(m) m.PartNumber = p_PartNumber).Count()
If (context.ProductInfo_Inventory.Any(Function(m) m.partNumber = p_PartNumber)) Then
cStatus = context.ProductInfo_Inventory.Where(Function(m) m.partNumber = p_PartNumber).Select(Function(m) m.currentStatus).FirstOrDefault()
End If
If (cStatus = 4) Then
dV = False
Else
dV = If(pValue < 4, True, False)
End If
