How to remove line breaks from Excel cell


Dear Friends,

Today I want to share my experience in Excel.. I think Line Break Character is most popular issue we faced day to day when trying to data cleaning/Transformation in excel or exporting Large data from Excel to SQL for Data warehouse. Sometimes Users typing Enter mistakenly in cell or sometimes copy paste from web page to excel create new line character. 

So before using this excel we need to remove this character to make it proper.

There is quite a few ways to do so, one of them is to use Excel find/replace dialog box.  Using this feature is really straightforward, the only problem is that not everyone knows how to type in the line break symbol. The trick here is to press ALT and then enter 010 using the numeric keypad.


Happy Reading

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >>    Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >>    Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757
