| Hi, I run a query against a SQL table in order to display some reports.USE reportsSELECT device, message from eventlogs The problem is that instead of returning the full message of the column i only what something specific.For example in the following DBDevice Message------ --------server1 | Failed events: The drive on 'server1' at '\\server1\E$' is 96.91% full which exceeds the limit of 95%. Successful Events: The drive on 'server1' at '\\server1\C$' is 63.80% full which is under the limit of 95%. How can i make it so on the message column only returns the following values?Device Message ------ -------Server1 E$=96.91%; C$=63.80%It would be event better that if the value in under 95% then no need to show it.Thanks |

| so far as the format is consistent you can devise a logic using functions above. so in case of inconsistent formats you might have to break it down into batches and apply separate logic to handle each batch------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |
