I have a query that I'm stumped on. The data has about 6000 records, of which about 460 of those have distinct dealer names and ids.
I am trying to condense this data so that there is only one record for each dealer, but my 3rd column has different values which is why some dealers have only 2 records, and others may have 10.
I know how to select distinct values, but what I want is to return a list of comma separated values for my 3rd column which consists of all the unique values from that 3rd column for that dealer.
For instance, say I have a dealer with 8 records. They have a unique ID and Dealer Name, but the 8 records appear because the dealer has 8 entries for its activity. The activities may or may not be unique.
So for example I have dealer ABC who has an id of 54, their name is ABC, but for their activites they have 8 entries (apple, orange, banana, pear, apple, banana, mango, peach).
I wnt to be able to select the distinct id, name, and distinct activities so that when my query is returned and displayed the record appears as such:
where including/excluding a single column in an empty staging table would influence a resultset returning from distributed query? Both servers are SQL Server 2012. Nothing special about the staging table. It contains 12 columns with a mixture of INT and NVARCHAR(256) columns. In one case I exclude the column and the query returns in 17 seconds. When I include it the query does not return. Excluding the INSERT INTO the staging table and query returns in 17 secs with and without the column.
If a Select is done on a column whose data type is nvarchar(16) and contains only numerals (UPC numbers) the select does not return the record.
1. Query with numerals in nvarchar column works as long as multiple records are returned (LIKE '012%') 2. Numeric (INT only one tested) columns works as expected 3. String columns with alpha data works as expected 4. Problem only exist when running in Device Emulator and/or actual device. 5. Same test on desktop app runs as expected. 6. Windows Mobile 6, Vista Ultimate 7. Same results when when connection to device from SSMS 8. SQL Servers comes on

I have two tables, one a data table, the other a product table. I want to perform a join on the two tables with values distributed into columns based on the value in the month field.
I'm working on a social network where I store my friend GUIDs in a table with the following structure:user1_guid user2_guidI am trying to write a query to return a single list of all a users' friends in a single column. Depending on who initiates the friendship, a users' guid value can be in either of the two columns. Here is the crazy sql I have come up with to give what I want, but I'm sure there's a better way... Any ideas?SELECT DISTINCT UserIdFROM espace_ProfilePropertyWHERE (UserId IN (SELECT CAST(REPLACE(CAST(user1_guid AS VarChar(36)) + CAST(user2_guid AS VarChar(36)), @userGuid, '') AS uniqueidentifier) AS UserId FROM espace_UserConnection WHERE (user1_guid = @userGuid) OR (user2_guid = @userGuid))) AND (UserId IN (SELECT UserId FROM espace_ProfileProperty))
Hi,Would like to know the performance differenece between Multi-columnIndex vs Single Column Indexes. Let's say I have a table with col1,col2, col3 along with a primary key column and non-indexed columns.In queries, I will use col1, col2, and col3 together and some timesjust one or two of these three columns. My questions is, should Icreate one index contains col1, col2, and col3, or create 3 seperatedcolumns. I.e. each column has its own index. Any performancedifference?Thanks a lot.
Looking for TSQL stored procedure code to parse a single column's value into pieces (each piece stored in a seperate variable) for a subsequent update of other columns on this row -- (generically):
1. Declare/Open cursor on TBLx where COOKIES like '%CLIENT1=' or like '%CLIENT2=%' or like '%CLIENT3=%' 2. Fetch row; initiate 3 Loops to locate the trailing values of CLIENT1=nn, CLIENT2=nn,CLIENT3=nn (eg. CLIENT1=3243, CLIENT2=11, CLIENT3=4451) 3. Save the 3 values in variables (eg @VARclient1=3245, @VARclient2=11, @VARclient3=4451) 4. UPDATE where current of cursor.. SET COL1=@VARclient1, COL2=@VARclient2, col3=@VARclient3)
Caveat.. in step 2 above, the various CLIENT strings can be listed in various orders in any various start positions w/in the COOKIEs column) (eg. CLIENT3=732,CLIENT1=9,CLIENT2=32 ----- starting in a variable position)
I'm familiar w/ the CHARINDEX feature... Any smaple code would be greatly appreciated.. thx in advance!

This is a query that joins a vouple of tables to display all the products purchased by a group of customers and the price they paid for it.
SELECT DISTINCT (p.code),p.descript_1 + ' ' + p.descript_2 + ' ' + p.descript_3 as description,sol.p_sales as price,sol.q_ordered as quantity,(sol.p_sales * sol.q_ordered) as total,so.date_in as dateFROM EfasLive..debtor AS d
INNER JOIN Informatica..so AS so ON so.deb_code = d.code AND so.co_code = d.co_code
INNER JOIN Informatica..so_line AS sol ON sol.code = so.code AND sol.co_code = so.co_code AND sol.acc_year = so.acc_year AND sol.efas = so.efas
INNER JOIN EfasLive..part AS p ON p.code = sol.part
WHERE d.[grp{003}] = 'GROUP' AND p.co_code = 1 AND p.code NOT LIKE '&%' AND so.date_in > DATEADD(m,-3,GETDATE()) AND sol.q_ordered > 0
ORDER BY (p.code), datum DESC
The problem with this is that it returns multiple lines for every product (p.code). Like so:
code description price quantity total date 603244 description_1 17.950000 150.000000 2692.500000000000 2007-08-01 00:00:00
I'd like there to be only 1 line for every different code with it's description. The idea is that the other rows are dropped and that only the first one remains. The one with the most recent purchase. I tried with GROUP BY but that's probably wrong since you'd have to add all the other columns as well and you end up with the same one. And even with adding a HAVING at the end I can't see how this could be solved
edit: There aren't any actual relationships in the tables (it's ancient you see ...) I'm using SQL 2005 though.
I have a situation where I would like to take a single column resultset and convert it to a single comma delimited row within a query. The reason I need this is because the data is from a child table of a parent and my end user has requested to be able to view the data in a tabular fashion. Therefore, I want to add this child table's contents as a comma delimited column in the stored proc I am using to retrieve the data for the display.
numbers 2 4 2Above is an example of my table with a single column. My problem is how to add all the numbers in that column to make it 8? The rows are also dynamic. Your help is highly appreciated.
I need to concatenate a field from certain number of rows. I created a function to return the concatenated value which will be a part of another view/procedure to be used for reporting purposes.
final woorkNoteAll will be a part of a query in another view which contains many other fields.
Here's the function. I'm passing an ID and based on that ID, the function returns a string. However, when I tested the function it's giving me a null.
/* --Calling syntax:: Select dbo.getIncidentNotes(187714) as 'Notes' --Function to get all the latest notes for an incident */ CREATE FUNCTION dbo.getIncidentNotes(@iIncidentID int) RETURNS varchar(8000) AS BEGIN DECLARE @allnotes varchar(8000) DECLARE @seqnotes varchar(255) DECLARE @seqnum int DECLARE @counter int SELECT @counter=1
SELECT @seqnum = max(iseqnum) from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID
WHILE (@COUNTER <=@seqnum) BEGIN SELECT @seqnotes = workNoteALL from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID and iSeqNum=@counter SELECT @allnotes = @allnotes + @seqnotes SELECT @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1 END --While Begin RETURN @allnotes END
Can someone please tell me what's wrong with the code?
I have a table that has multiple postal codes in one of the columns. Those have to be split up one per line and stored in another table. The zip codes are comma seperated. Is there a function that can do this...?
Example data in ZipCodeTable. (Name and ZipCode are 2 columns in a table)
I’m trying to figure out a way to sum columns for similar IDs, based on the contents of a single field. For example, if I’m calculating attendance percentages for students, and codes P and T count as Present, and codes A and E count as Absent, I would want to total Present and Absent codes separately, in their own columns. I would then like to use those totals to calculate percentage, but I can do that. It’s the SUM based on column value (by ID) that is giving issue.
I’ve been playing around with nested queries, but nothing’s working. This is a glimpse of the mess that I’ve created trying to sort this out. Many errors.
I just noticed that I used a simpler example than the SQL I included, so I modified it a bit. There are additional fields that I'll need to include, but I want to get the logic working correctly. From there, I can handle the rest. So here's a more appropriate code example showing the direction I'm trying to go with this.
SELECT ID, [Last Name], [First Name], CD, Present, Absent, CAST(LEFT(Present / (Absent + Present) * 100, 5) AS varchar) + '%' AS Percentage FROM (SELECT ID, CD, TotalAHD, CAST ((SELECT SUM(TotalAHD) AS Expr1 FROM SumAHDforAttndPercentages AS p

We just changed over our phone system and the new system uses all of the old extensions except it adds a 1 to the beginning of them. I know that there is a relatively simple way to update my phone extension column to show this, but I can't for the life of me remember what I need to do. Any help?
Hi This is probably a very basic question for most people in this group. How do i split the data in a column in to 2 columns? This can be done in access with an update query but in MS SQL server I am not sure. Here is an example of what i want to acheive
It is possible to alter multiple columns within a single alter table statement? I have got the following URL that tells it is not possible to alter multiple columns within in signle alert table statement. http://www.blogcoward.com/archive/2005/05/09/234.aspx[^] Does anyone know about that?
update a tables value(a single column), based on a query of another database, using a common column.
Here's what I've cooked up so far:
Declare @trackingNo nvarchar (50) Set @trackingNo = ( select tracking_no from P21_Shipping.dbo.shipping_data t1 inner join P21.dbo.oe_hdr t2 on t1.order_no = t2.order_no
[Code] ...
print @trackingNoThe error it's returning is:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
So, I'm wanting to query Shipping_data for order_No that matches the same orderNo column value in P21 Database(oe_hdr table), then update P21 oe_hdr table with "trackingNo from Shipping_data

Hi, I have a difficult case that I need to solve. I will try to be the very clear explaining my problem:
I have a sql query which brings me many records. This records have a column in common which have the same value (COL1)
There is a second column (COL2) which has different values bewteen these records. I need to concatenate values from the second column in records with same value in COL1. And I need only one record of the ones that have the same values. If two records have the same COL1 value, only one row should be in my result.
Let me give you an example: COL1 COL2 RECORD1 1-A HHH RECORD2 1-A GGG RECORD3 1-B LLL RECORD4 1-B MMM RECORD4 1-B OOO RECORD5 1-C NNN
Me result should be:
COL1 COL2 RECORD 1-A HHHGGG RECORD 1-B LLLMMMOOO RECORD 1-C NNN
It is clear what I need? I dont know if I can solve it through sql or any function inside SSIS. Thanks for any help you can give me.
