I am saving some uploaded file name in database.. its saving with the file extension.. and some only with document name.

So while retrieving the records i want to check if any extension like (.docx)etc is existing in the value, check and remove the value in stored procedure itself.

Is there any way in Sql Server 2008

Thank you,
yashoda

Solution 1

Give this a go, replace [Path] with the name of your field and [Files] with the name of your table

SQL

SELECT
    CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('.',REVERSE([Path])) > 1 THEN LEFT([Path], LEN([Path]) - CHARINDEX('.',REVERSE([Path]))) ELSE [Path] END AS FileNameWithoutExtension
FROM
    [Files]
