I have a table that contains rows that I would like to delete based on a field and it's contents.
What is the correct syntax to script the removal of these rows based field parameter?delete tableA where fieldB = ?
Is that what you mean?|||Kinda. I only have one table and want to delete specific rows from that table that have a specific data within a certain field.
Let be more specific. I have a table (tableA) with 10 fields. Field 3 has data that does not conform to a datetime format and I would like to remove it. The field is currently a nvarchar(50) type (2003-10-10).
I want to remove rows that contain data that is looks like this
(0020-10-10). Make sense?|||delete from table where field3 ='0020-10-10'|||Perhaps you can use the ISDATE() function, which returns 1 if a string can be converted to a valid date, and 0 if it cannot.
Try this query:
select *
from YourTable
where ISDATE([Column3]) = 0
If this returns the rows you want deleted, then change the query to a delete query:
delete
from YourTable
where ISDATE([Column3]) = 0|||right but I forgot to mention, there are all kinds of variation of that date.
I ran a script that reads as follows to help identify data within a field that does not fit a date format->
SELECT * FROM findet WHERE ISDATE(servfrom) = 0
This gave me a list of records that are not in proper date format. Now, I would like to remove them from my table. Can I use the same,
delete findet where ISDATE(servfrom)=0|||See previous post.|||That worked like a charm, thank you!!
