You're in the
sql server programming
group:Extract specific data from a ROW
sql server programming:
I need some assistance with some T-SQL programming. I have a column called "Message" and the following data is stored in this column. (See Below) Logon Failure: Reason: Account locked out User Name: adubey Domain: TSI Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: NtLmSsp Authentication Package: NTLM Workstation Name: ITRJOHANNESON01 Caller User Name: - Caller Domain: - Caller Logon ID How would I manipulate this row to only extract the User Name and Domain and insert the output into another column. Thanks Rustom
If the data you are looking for is always on the same column just use the substring function. Otherwise, use also charindex and len functions (in addition to substring).

Something like:
SELECT SUBSTRING(Message, UserIdx, CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), Message, UserIdx) - UserIdx) AS UserName, SUBSTRING(Message, DomainIdx, CHARINDEX('Caller Logon ID', Message, DomainIdx) - DomainIdx) AS Domain FROM ( SELECT CHARINDEX('Caller User Name: ', Message) + LEN('Caller User Name: ') AS UserIdx, CHARINDEX('Caller Domain: ', Message) + LEN('Caller Domain: ') AS DomainIdx, Message FROM YourTable ) x You should probably normalize this data.

Thanks for the feedback...I believe MS should normalize their data as this
is a MOM 2005 operational database. lol [quoted text, click to view] "Adam Machanic" <amachanic@hotmail._removetoemail_.com> wrote in message news:eJZ4MCn6FHA.2888@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... > Something like: > > SELECT > SUBSTRING(Message, UserIdx, CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), Message, UserIdx) - > UserIdx) AS UserName, > SUBSTRING(Message, DomainIdx, CHARINDEX('Caller Logon ID', Message, > DomainIdx) - DomainIdx) AS Domain > FROM > ( > SELECT > CHARINDEX('Caller User Name: ', Message) + LEN('Caller User Name: > ') AS UserIdx, > CHARINDEX('Caller Domain: ', Message) + LEN('Caller Domain: ') AS > DomainIdx, > Message > FROM YourTable > ) x > > You should probably normalize this data.

I agree! That's rough. -- Adam Machanic Pro SQL Server 2005, available now http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=457 --
I am challenged here and require further assistance. So I have included two
rows of output of this one column called message. The data such as Logon Failure, Reason and User Name never changes, however, the data after the : does. So for this example, how would I write the transact SQL to extract Account Locked out or Invalid Logon Attempt. Also this a MOM 2005 database so I am not the crazy one here storing unnormalized data this way ;) ROW 1 (Logon Failure: Reason: Account locked out User Name: adubey) ROW 2 (Logon Failure: Reason: Invalid Logon Attempt User Name: RKM) Thanks Much!!!

Hey Rustom,
One of our apps reads event log data as well, and I've written 1000-line views to do what you're trying to do. The basic formula (using CHARINDEX and SUBSTRING) that others have given you will work, but if your data increases, performance will begin to suffer. You may want to consider using DTS to load your event files, and transform them from the event log format to a denormalized, but segregated tabular format. It'll take a little more time to load, but will make your reporting job significantly easier. HTH, Stu
