PATINDEX Number/range 个通配符
PATINDEX Number/range of wildcard characters
在正则表达式中，我们有在 'a' 和 'b' 之间出现任何字符的语法，如下所示：
/a.{5,15}b/
但我们能够指定它们之间的最小字符数 (5) 和最大字符数 (15)。
在MsSQL for PATINDEX 中是否有任何等价物来指定通配符的范围？
我们有 % 符号表示任何字符但没有最小值或限制，而 _ 符号只表示一个通配符。
不，没有。但是您可以采用蛮力方法——我将其限制为 1-3 个字符：
where col like '%a_b%' or
col like '%a__b%' or
col like '%a___b%'
'_' 通配符正好匹配一个字符。您可能实际上需要 '[^ab]，因此不允许使用结束字符。
如果 'a' 和 'b' 在字符串中只出现一次（并且不允许 "in-between"），您可以使用 charindex():
where charindex('b', col) - charindex('a', col) between 1 + 1 and 3 + 1
使用 RangeAB（下面的 DDL）和 APPLY，您可以通过多种方式扩展 PATINDEX 的功能。首先考虑这个查询：
DECLARE
@start INT = 5,
@stop INT = 15
SELECT r.N1, Pattern = '%a'+REPLICATE('_',r.N1)+'b%'
FROM dbo.rangeAB(@start,@stop,1,1) AS r;
Returns:
N1 Pattern
-------------------- --------------------------------
5 %a_____b%
6 %a______b%
7 %a_______b%
...
15 %a_______________b%
现在查询：
DECLARE @table TABLE (SomeId INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, SomeString VARCHAR(1000));
INSERT @table (SomeString) VALUES ('xxaabbcc'),('abc123abc'),('xxxaaabbbbcccc'),
('faxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxb!'),('123ab')--,('ZZZZZabbbbbbbbbbbbbZZZZZ');
DECLARE
@start INT = 5,
@stop INT = 15
SELECT
t.SomeId,
t.SomeString,
PatternLen = r.N1+2,
'%a'+REPLICATE('_',r.N1)+'b%'
FROM dbo.rangeAB(@start,@stop,1,1) AS r
JOIN @table AS t ON PATINDEX('%a'+REPLICATE('_',r.N1)+'b%',t.SomeString) > 0;
Returns:
SomeId SomeString PatternLen Pattern
----------- ------------------ -------------------- -----------------
3 xxxaaabbbbcccc 7 %a_____b%
2 abc123abc 8 %a______b%
现在唯一要解决的问题是，对于像 ZZZZZabbbbbbbbbbbbbZZZZZ 这样的值，您将得到多行；我们只想要一个。此查询将 return 最长的匹配模式。这是最终产品：
DECLARE @table TABLE (SomeId INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, SomeString VARCHAR(1000));
INSERT @table (SomeString) VALUES ('xxaabbcc'),('abc123abc'),('xxxaaabbbbcccc'),
('faxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxb!'),('123ab'),('ZZZZZabbbbbbbbbbbbbZZZZZ');
DECLARE
@start INT = 5,
@stop INT = 15;
SELECT TOP (1) WITH TIES
t.SomeId,
t.SomeString,
PatternLen = r.N1+2,
MatchedPattern = f.Pattern,
PatternIndex = pat.Idx,
PatternText = SUBSTRING(t.SomeString, pat.Idx, r.N1+2)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(@start,@stop,1,1) AS r
CROSS APPLY (VALUES('%a'+REPLICATE('_',r.N1)+'b%')) AS f(Pattern)
JOIN @table AS t
ON PATINDEX(f.Pattern,t.SomeString) > 0
CROSS APPLY (VALUES(PATINDEX(f.Pattern,t.SomeString))) AS pat(Idx)
WHERE pat.Idx > 0
ORDER BY ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY t.SomeId ORDER BY -r.N1);
Returns:
SomeId SomeString PatternLen MatchedPattern PatternIndex PatternText

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.rangeAB
(
@low bigint,
@high bigint,
@gap bigint,
@row1 bit
)
/****************************************************************************************
[Purpose]:
Creates up to 531,441,000,000 sequentia1 integers numbers beginning with @low and ending
with @high. Used to replace iterative methods such as loops, cursors and recursive CTEs
to solve SQL problems. Based on Itzik Ben-Gan's getnums function with some tweeks and
enhancements and added functionality. The logic for getting rn to begin at 0 or 1 is
based comes from Jeff Moden's fnTally function.
The name range because it's similar to clojure's range function. The name "rangeAB" as
used because "range" is a reserved SQL keyword.
[Author]: Alan Burstein
[Compatibility]:
SQL Server 2008+ and Azure SQL Database
[Syntax]:
SELECT r.RN, r.OP, r.N1, r.N2
FROM dbo.rangeAB(@low,@high,@gap,@row1) AS r;
[Parameters]:
@low = a bigint that represents the lowest value for n1.
@high = a bigint that represents the highest value for n1.
@gap = a bigint that represents how much n1 and n2 will increase each row; @gap also
represents the difference between n1 and n2.
@row1 = a bit that represents the first value of rn. When @row = 0 then rn begins
at 0, when @row = 1 then rn will begin at 1.
[Returns]:
Inline Table Valued Function returns:
rn = bigint; a row number that works just like T-SQL ROW_NUMBER() except that it can
start at 0 or 1 which is dictated by @row1.
op = bigint; returns the "opposite number that relates to rn. When rn begins with 0 and
ends with 10 then 10 is the opposite of 0, 9 the opposite of 1, etc. When rn begins
with 1 and ends with 5 then 1 is the opposite of 5, 2 the opposite of 4, etc...
n1 = bigint; a sequential number starting at the value of @low and incrimentingby the
value of @gap until it is less than or equal to the value of @high.
n2 = bigint; a sequential number starting at the value of @low+@gap and incrimenting
by the value of @gap.
[Dependencies]:
N/A
[Developer Notes]:
1. The lowest and highest possible numbers returned are whatever is allowable by a
bigint. The function, however, returns no more than 531,441,000,000 rows (8100^3).
2. @gap does not affect rn, rn will begin at @row1 and increase by 1 until the last row
unless its used in a query where a filter is applied to rn.
3. @gap must be greater than 0 or the function will not return any rows.
4. Keep in mind that when @row1 is 0 then the highest row-number will be the number of
rows returned minus 1
5. If you only need is a sequential set beginning at 0 or 1 then, for best performance
use the RN column. Use N1 and/or N2 when you need to begin your sequence at any
number other than 0 or 1 or if you need a gap between your sequence of numbers.
6. Although @gap is a bigint it must be a positive integer or the function will
not return any rows.
7. The function will not return any rows when one of the following conditions are true:
* any of the input parameters are NULL
* @high is less than @low
* @gap is not greater than 0
To force the function to return all NULLs instead of not returning anything you can
add the following code to the end of the query:
UNION ALL
SELECT NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
WHERE NOT (@high&@low&@gap&@row1 IS NOT NULL AND @high >= @low AND @gap > 0)
This code was excluded as it adds a ~5% performance penalty.
8. There is no performance penalty for sorting by rn ASC; there is a large performance
penalty for sorting in descending order WHEN @row1 = 1; WHEN @row1 = 0
If you need a descending sort the use op in place of rn then sort by rn ASC.
Best Practices:
--===== 1. Using RN (rownumber)
-- (1.1) The best way to get the numbers 1,2,3...@high (e.g. 1 to 5):
SELECT RN FROM dbo.rangeAB(1,5,1,1);
-- (1.2) The best way to get the numbers 0,1,2...@high-1 (e.g. 0 to 5):
SELECT RN FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,5,1,0);
--===== 2. Using OP for descending sorts without a performance penalty
-- (2.1) The best way to get the numbers 5,4,3...@high (e.g. 5 to 1):
SELECT op FROM dbo.rangeAB(1,5,1,1) ORDER BY rn ASC;
-- (2.2) The best way to get the numbers 0,1,2...@high-1 (e.g. 5 to 0):
SELECT op FROM dbo.rangeAB(1,6,1,0) ORDER BY rn ASC;
--===== 3. Using N1
-- (3.1) To begin with numbers other than 0 or 1 use N1 (e.g. -3 to 3):
SELECT N1 FROM dbo.rangeAB(-3,3,1,1);
-- (3.2) ROW_NUMBER() is built in. If you want a ROW_NUMBER() include RN:
SELECT RN, N1 FROM dbo.rangeAB(-3,3,1,1);
-- (3.3) If you wanted a ROW_NUMBER() that started at 0 you would do this:
SELECT RN, N1 FROM dbo.rangeAB(-3,3,1,0);
--===== 4. Using N2 and @gap
-- (4.1) To get 0,10,20,30...100, set @low to 0, @high to 100 and @gap to 10:
SELECT N1 FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,100,10,1);
-- (4.2) Note that N2=N1+@gap; this allows you to create a sequence of ranges.
-- For example, to get (0,10),(10,20),(20,30).... (90,100):
SELECT N1, N2 FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,90,10,1);
-- (4.3) Remember that a rownumber is included and it can begin at 0 or 1:
SELECT RN, N1, N2 FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,90,10,1);
[Examples]:
--===== 1. Generating Sample data (using rangeAB to create "dummy rows")
-- The query below will generate 10,000 ids and random numbers between 50,000 and 500,000
SELECT
someId = r.rn,
someNumer = ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID())%450000)+50001
FROM rangeAB(1,10000,1,1) r;
--===== 2. Create a series of dates; rn is 0 to include the first date in the series
DECLARE @startdate DATE = '20180101', @enddate DATE = '20180131';
SELECT r.rn, calDate = DATEADD(dd, r.rn, @startdate)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(1, DATEDIFF(dd,@startdate,@enddate),1,0) r;
GO
--===== 3. Splitting (tokenizing) a string with fixed sized items
-- given a delimited string of identifiers that are always 7 characters long
DECLARE @string VARCHAR(1000) = 'A601225,B435223,G008081,R678567';
SELECT
itemNumber = r.rn, -- item's ordinal position
itemIndex = r.n1, -- item's position in the string (it's CHARINDEX value)
item = SUBSTRING(@string, r.n1, 7) -- item (token)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(1, LEN(@string), 8,1) r;
GO
--===== 4. Splitting (tokenizing) a string with random delimiters
DECLARE @string VARCHAR(1000) = 'ABC123,999F,XX,9994443335';
SELECT
itemNumber = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY r.rn), -- item's ordinal position
itemIndex = r.n1+1, -- item's position in the string (it's CHARINDEX value)
item = SUBSTRING
(
@string,
r.n1+1,
ISNULL(NULLIF(CHARINDEX(',',@string,r.n1+1),0)-r.n1-1, 8000)
) -- item (token)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,DATALENGTH(@string),1,1) r
WHERE SUBSTRING(@string,r.n1,1) = ',' OR r.n1 = 0;
-- logic borrowed from: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Tally+Table/72993/
--===== 5. Grouping by a weekly intervals
-- 5.1. how to create a series of start/end dates between @startDate & @endDate
DECLARE @startDate DATE = '1/1/2015', @endDate DATE = '2/1/2015';
SELECT
WeekNbr = r.RN,
WeekStart = DATEADD(DAY,r.N1,@StartDate),
WeekEnd = DATEADD(DAY,r.N2-1,@StartDate)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,datediff(DAY,@StartDate,@EndDate),7,1) r;
GO
-- 5.2. LEFT JOIN to the weekly interval table
BEGIN
DECLARE @startDate datetime = '1/1/2015', @endDate datetime = '2/1/2015';
-- sample data
DECLARE @loans TABLE (loID INT, lockDate DATE);
INSERT @loans SELECT r.rn, DATEADD(dd, ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID())%32), @startDate)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(1,50,1,1) r;
-- solution
SELECT
WeekNbr = r.RN,
WeekStart = dt.WeekStart,
WeekEnd = dt.WeekEnd,
total = COUNT(l.lockDate)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,datediff(DAY,@StartDate,@EndDate),7,1) r
CROSS APPLY (VALUES (
CAST(DATEADD(DAY,r.N1,@StartDate) AS DATE),
CAST(DATEADD(DAY,r.N2-1,@StartDate) AS DATE))) dt(WeekStart,WeekEnd)
LEFT JOIN @loans l ON l.lockDate BETWEEN dt.WeekStart AND dt.WeekEnd
GROUP BY r.RN, dt.WeekStart, dt.WeekEnd ;
END;
--===== 6. Identify the first vowel and last vowel in a along with their positions
DECLARE @string VARCHAR(200) = 'This string has vowels';
SELECT TOP(1) position = r.rn, letter = SUBSTRING(@string,r.rn,1)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(1,LEN(@string),1,1) r
WHERE SUBSTRING(@string,r.rn,1) LIKE '%[aeiou]%'
ORDER BY r.rn;
-- To avoid a sort in the execution plan we'll use op instead of rn
SELECT TOP(1) position = r.op, letter = SUBSTRING(@string,r.op,1)
FROM dbo.rangeAB(1,LEN(@string),1,1) r
WHERE SUBSTRING(@string,r.rn,1) LIKE '%[aeiou]%'

在正则表达式中，我们有在 'a' 和 'b' 之间出现任何字符的语法，如下所示：

'_' 通配符正好匹配一个字符。您可能实际上需要 '[^ab]，因此不允许使用结束字符。

-- (1.2) The best way to get the numbers 0,1,2...@high-1 (e.g. 0 to 5):
SELECT RN FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,5,1,0);
--===== 2. Using OP for descending sorts without a performance penalty
-- (2.1) The best way to get the numbers 5,4,3...@high (e.g. 5 to 1):
SELECT op FROM dbo.rangeAB(1,5,1,1) ORDER BY rn ASC;
-- (2.2) The best way to get the numbers 0,1,2...@high-1 (e.g. 5 to 0):
SELECT op FROM dbo.rangeAB(1,6,1,0) ORDER BY rn ASC;
--===== 3. Using N1
-- (3.1) To begin with numbers other than 0 or 1 use N1 (e.g. -3 to 3):

--===== 4. Using N2 and @gap
-- (4.1) To get 0,10,20,30...100, set @low to 0, @high to 100 and @gap to 10:
SELECT N1 FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,100,10,1);
-- (4.2) Note that N2=N1+@gap; this allows you to create a sequence of ranges.
-- For example, to get (0,10),(10,20),(20,30).... (90,100):
SELECT N1, N2 FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,90,10,1);
-- (4.3) Remember that a rownumber is included and it can begin at 0 or 1:
SELECT RN, N1, N2 FROM dbo.rangeAB(0,90,10,1);
[Examples]:
--===== 1. Generating Sample data (using rangeAB to create "dummy rows")
