Processing Comma-delimited Strings (redux)

Aug 1, 2007

Hello,

I have no trouble converting a comma-delimited string of values into multiple records, bur have recently encountered a problem that's giving me a headache - hopefully someone on the forum already has some experience doing this task:

create table tester (col1 int, col2 varchar(1000), col2 varchar(1000))
insert into tester values(1, '1,3,5,7', 'a,c,e,g,')
insert into tester values(2, '11,13,15,17', 'aa,ac,ae,ag,')

There is no correlation between rows, but between the 2 varchar columns is a positional relationship - in the first record, the '1' in col2 relates to the 'a' in col 3, same for the '3' and 'c', on and on. The values within each of the comma-delimited strings of the 2 columns are positionally related. Say they could be time and temperature values, with a string of time values in col1 and a string of related temps in col2. This is data from an external system that I have no control over, but must load the data into my system

I need to write a select statement that will return the contents like so:

1, 1, a
1, 3, c
1, 5, e
1, 7, g
2, 11, aa
2, 13, ac
2, 15, ae
2, 17, ag

Has anyone encountered such as this? Any clues or code snippets?

Thanks for any ideas,

sa

Loops And Building Comma Delimited Strings

Oct 9, 2006

The problem:

I have 2 tables, with a one to many relationship - lets say customers, and order items.

Each order record has a field that is meant to be a comma delimited list (they are reference numbers) that is driven by the quantity field. So, say in the order record, an item has a quantity of 3. The reference number will look like this:

1, 2, 3

And if the next order item for that customer has a quantity of 4, the reference number value is

4, 5, 6, 7

And the final item with quantity of 2:

8, 9

Reference numbers can either be auto assigned (and are in my web application) or manually set. If manually set they will NOT be numeric.

In my web application, it is possible for users to return to a customer's order and edit a line item. My problem is when users changes the quantity of an item, and I have to reset the reference numbers.

If the quantity of line item 2 changes from 4 to 3, I need to reset all the values for that, and any other, order item that comes after it:

4, 5, 6 (2nd)
7,8 (3rd with same quantity of 2).

I felt a cursor would be the best way to handle this. But I am having trouble re-assigning my variable to be the next number in the series when the cursor is running.

This is what I have so far. The print lines and hard coded values are for debugging purposes only.

DECLARE @NumberingType varchar(10)
DECLARE @TotalSum int
DECLARE @DoorLineItemID int
DECLARE @Quantity int
DECLARE @SeedInt int


SET @SeedInt = 1

SELECT @TotalSum = SUM(Quantity) FROM DoorLineItems WHERE UniversalOrderID = 12345

DECLARE UpdateRefCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT DoorLineItemID, Quantity FROM DoorLineItems WHERE UniversalOrderID = 12345 AND NumberingType = 1

OPEN UpdateRefCursor

FETCH NEXT FROM UpdateRefCursor INTO @DoorLineItemID, @Quantity
DECLARE @RefNumberLine varchar(1024)
SET @RefNumberLine = ''

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN

WHILE @SeedInt <= @Quantity
BEGIN

SET @RefNumberLine = @RefNumberLine + CONVERT(varchar, @SeedInt, 101) + ', '
SET @SeedInt = @SeedInt + 1

END

PRINT @RefNumberLine

SET @SeedInt = @Quantity + @SeedInt
PRINT 'new seed: ' + CONVERT(varchar, @SeedInt, 101) + 'Quantity ' + CONVERT(varchar, @Quantity + @SeedInt, 101)


FETCH NEXT FROM UpdateRefCursor INTO @DoorLineItemID, @Quantity


END

CLOSE UpdateRefCursor
DEALLOCATE UpdateRefCursor


This returns the same delimited string for X number of items. So I'm getting this:

1,2,3
1,2,3
1,2,3


When I really want the results described above.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

In SSIS, What Is The Best Way To Take A Column With Comma Separated Strings And Separate Them To Multiple Columns

Jul 10, 2006

Hi There,

Can anybody suggest me what is the best way to take a column with comma separated stings and output them into multiple columns with strings?

for example if I have a column with "watertown, newton" as a string, I need to separate them to two columns with watertown and newton values?

Is Derived column transformation the best way to do it?

Thanks.

Combining Queries/ Results

May 4, 2005

I have created a search interface for a large table and I allow users to search on keywords. The users can enter multiple keywords and I build a SQL based on their input to search a full-text indexed table. However the users want to be able to search like an old system they had, where they enter single words and then combine their searches to drill-down into the results. What would be the best method to combine searches?At the moment I can create a merged query from 2 queries if they have searched using single words, but I know down the line it will get far more complicated if they keep combining and merging even with multiple word entries. Each time they search I store the 'where' section of each query, then if they choose to combine I have a function to build a new query through arrays (to eliminate duplicates and sort etc)Is there a better way in SQL to combine queries as sometimes the logic of the combined query means no results are returned (because of OR/ AND conditions in the wrong places etc)e.g.1. Select count(ID) as myCount FROM myTable where (CONTAINS(title,'"run"') OR CONTAINS(subject,'"run"'))2. Select count(ID) as myCount FROM myTable where (CONTAINS(title,'"level"') OR CONTAINS(subject,'"level"'))Combined using my function creates:Select count(ID) as myCount FROM myTable where (contains(title,'"level"') AND contains(title,'"run"')) OR (contains(subject,'"level"') AND contains(subject,'"run"'))
When I combine I'm drilling down, so if the first query returns a count of 400 (where the title OR subject contains 'run') and then the second query returns 600 records (where the title OR subject contains 'level') I need to combine so that I'm looking for records where the title contains both keywords 'run' AND 'level' OR else the subject contains both 'run' AND 'level' and I end up with say 50 records where the title has both keywords OR the subject holds both words. I think the main trouble lies if they try combine a previously combines search with a new search. here my logic gets totally thrown and I'm not sure how to handle soemthing like this. Has anyone got any ideas or experience with this kind of functionality? In SQL or even in vb.net is there a method to combine searches easily?

Combining Multiple Results Into One Row

Mar 6, 2006

Hey guys, here is my issue, i'm trying to combine multiple columns of data into one row. For example, I have a temp table:

create table #Custom_Address
( patient_idchar(10)null,
episode_idchar(3)null,
custom_address varchar(100) null
)

As you can tell, the 'custom_address' column is going to house the results of the combination.

I am trying to INSERT (combine) using this statement:

INSERT #Custom_Address
select cm.patient_id, cm.episode_id, (cc.coverage_plan_add1 +' ' + coverage_plan_add2 + ' ' + coverage_plan_city+ ' ' + coverage_plan_st+ ' ' + coverage_plan_zip) as custom_address
FROM #ClaimMaster cm join Coverage_Custom cc on cm.patient_id = cc.patient_id and cm.episode_id = cc.episode_id
WHEREcc.coverage_plan_add1 > 0
OR cc.coverage_plan_add2 > 0
OR cc.coverage_plan_city > 0
OR cc.coverage_plan_st > 0
OR cc.coverage_plan_zip > 0
GROUP BY cm.patient_id, cm.episode_id

I want to insert the patient_id, episode_id, and then combine the 'cc.coverage_plan_add1 +' ' + coverage_plan_add2 + ' ' + coverage_plan_city+ ' ' + coverage_plan_st+ ' ' + coverage_plan_zip' data to represent my "custom_address" column and only when there is data in those columns.

Then I do my update:

UPDATE#ClaimMaster
SET #ClaimMaster.custom_address = ca.custom_address
FROM #ClaimMaster
JOIN#Custom_Address ca on #ClaimMaster.patient_id = ca.patient_id and #ClaimMaster.episode_id = ca.episode_id

However, when I do this, it says my 'cc.coverage_plan_add1 + etc' columns are invalid because they are not contained in either an aggregate function or a GROUP By clause.

If i'm combining all the data to represent a single column, how do I format my group by clause? Or is my entire INSERT statement wrong?

As a side note, my #ClaimMaster table is another temp table, but the problem is not in there.

Combining Results Into Columns

Oct 18, 2013

I have a query (SELECT * FROM Pricing) that produces the following results

Stockcode|ProductID|OurSellPrice|SupplierTypeID|CompetitorPrice
SC0001___|123______|22.45_______|1_____________|25.23
SC0001___|123______|21.45_______|2_____________|25.23

I want to convert this to the following :

Stockcode|ProductID|OurSellPriceType1|OurSellPriceType2|CompetitorPrice
SC001____|123______|22.45____________|21.45____________|25.23

We only have two types of suppliers but not every product is available from each type of supplier so we might get the following results:

Stockcode|ProductID|OurSellPrice|SupplierTypeID|CompetitorPrice
SC0002___|124______|22.45_______|1_____________|25.23

Stockcode|ProductID|OurSellPriceType1|OurSellPriceType2|CompetitorPrice
SC001____|123______|22.45____________|NULL_____________|25.23

Combining Subquery Results Into One Field

Jun 19, 2007

Hello there
 I have an application that allows users to book rooms in a building. I have a booking request table and a rooms booked table since there is a booking that can be made that includes multiple rooms.  I have an instance where i need to select the booking requests for a particular date and need to display the rooms for each booking.  Since the rooms booked table has the booking request id i'm wondering if there is a way to combine all the subquery results into one record to get around the error of having multiple records being returned in a sub query.  The table structures are as follow:
 bookingrequestion - bookingrequestid, startdate, enddate
roomsbooked-id, bookingrequestid, roomname
i'm basically trying to use the following query
select br.bookingrequestid, (select roomname from roomsbooked where id = br.bookingrequest) as rooms
i'd like the results of the subquery to return the room names as A,B,C.  I'm trying to avoid having to obtain the recordset for the booking requests and then loop through them and for each one obtain a recordset for the rooms, seems like too many database hits to me.
 thanks

Combining The Results Of A Cursor Loop

Aug 7, 2007

Need a little help here.

I have a set of product ids fed in as a delimited string and for each I need to extract the top 1 record from another query based on the id.

I need the results as one table.

Here is my code.
___________________________________
SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @IdsString VARCHAR(255), @Id int


SELECT @IdsString = '918|808|1214|89|995|300|526|1207'

DECLARE GetData CURSOR
FOR Select s.ProductID FROM dbo.SplitProductIDs(@IdsString) as s

OPEN GetData

FETCH NEXT FROM GetData
INTO @Id

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SELECT TOP 1 v.*
FROM dbo.GetProductRateView as v
WHERE v.[id] = @Id

FETCH NEXT FROM GetData
INTO @Id
END

CLOSE GetData
DEALLOCATE GetData
_____________________________________

Do I need to create a temp table and do an 'Insert Into(Select...' with each cusor result or is there a better way?

Any help would be much appreciated.

NB Database was not designed and the client will not tolerate any changes to structure of the tables :eek:

Combining 3 Tables To Get Required Results

Jul 2, 2014

I have a quick question for the SQL community about how to combine 3 tables to get the results needed...

The table names are :
setup_zipcode,
setup_category,
and listing

and inside setup_zipcode it has the columns:
zip_id , zip_code, zip_latitude and zip_longitude

and inside the setup_category it has the columns:
category_id, category_parent, category_path and category_name

and the final table for listing has the columns:
listing_id, listing_member, listing_category, listing_address, listing_city, listing_state, listing_zip and listing_country

I am having trouble getting them to inter-relate an query the needed results as I need to get back the LAT & LONG from the zip_latitude & zip_longitude columns for specific listing ids in certain categories...

So, the ONLY same variable between them is that listing_zip from LISTING table and zip_code from SETUP_ZIPCODE show the same zip codes..

How can I create a SQL query that checks the current category that is being displayed on the page results live and insert only the listing id (clients) that are in that listing_category and also pull that listing_id client's related zip_latitude & zip_longitude that relates to their specific listing_zip from the zip_code row in setup_zipcode?

I have tried many things and this looks like it would work but does not pull the related LAT & LONGs ...

$cat is assigned in a query previously on the page...

SELECT *
FROM
setup_zipcode, setup_category, listing
WHERE
listing_category LIKE '%-$cat-%'
AND
listing_zip = zip_code
AND
category_id = '$cat'
ORDER BY listing_title ASC

When I try to take the results (not sure if I am missing a step for printing the results after querying them or having to assign them somehow) and use the SMARTY TAGS assigned to zip_latitude and zip_longitude nothing shows on the published page... The other variables for the address do..

I have a loop defined as $listing_id and section is var so when I pull the query info using {$listing_address[var]}, {$listing_city[var]}, etc.. they work, but {$zip_latitude[var]} or {$listing_id[var].$zip_latitude} and {$listing_id[var].zip_latitude} so on do not work..

If I can get the variables to exist in the SQL QUERY then at least I will know that is correct and can work on how to get them to show correctly in the address for a map afterwards...

Combining Results Of Two Similar Queries Into One Result Set?

Mar 5, 2012

Customers order a product and enter in a source code (sourceCd). This sourceCd is tied to a marketing program. Idea being we can see that 100 customers ordered from this promo, 200 from this catalog, etc etc. The sourceCd that a customer enters is not always accurate so there is a magic process that adjusts this OrigSourceCd into a final SourceCd, that may or may not be the same.

I am trying to generate a result set of customer count by sales program based on both the original and final source code. Problem is, I have to do each query separately because in one, I have to join SourceCdKey to SourceCdKey to get the program associated with that SourceCd and in the other i have to join OrigSourceCdKey to SourceCdKey to get the program associated with the original sourceCd. There are some programs is one results set that are not in the other, and vice versa.

I'm trying to generate a list of that shows customer counts before and after for each program, some which may be null for one, but have counts for the other. I have tries creating 2 separating views and joining them but that doesn't work because it only returns the ones they have in common.

Combining Two Queries Producing Unexpected Results

Mar 5, 2008

I'm having difficulty coming up with the right syntax for a query. Suppose I have a database containing a Stores table, an ProductInventory table, and a Customers table. The Stores table has an ID field that serves as a foreign key in both the ProductInventory table and in the Customers table. I'm trying to write a query that, for each Store record, will return the total number of records in the ProductInventory table and the total number of records in the Customers table.


The following query returns, for each store, the total number of records in the ProductInventory table:

SELECT Stores.Name,
COUNT(ProductInventory.ID) AS ProductInventoryItemCount
FROM Stores
LEFT JOIN ProductInventory ON Stores.ID = ProductInventory.StoreID
GROUP BY Stores.Name

The following query returns, for each store, the total number of records in the Customers table:

SELECT Stores.Name,
COUNT(Customers.ID) AS CustomerCount
FROM Stores
LEFT JOIN ProductInventory ON Stores.ID = Customers.StoreID
GROUP BY Stores.Name



I combined the two queries:

SELECT Stores.Name,
COUNT(ProductInventory.ID) AS ProductInventoryItemCount,
COUNT(Customers.ID) AS CustomerCount
FROM Stores
LEFT JOIN ProductInventory ON Stores.ID = ProductInventory.StoreID
LEFT JOIN Customers ON Stores.ID = Customers.StoreID
GROUP BY Stores.Name

When I run this last query, however, I get an "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int" error. Using COUNT_BIG instead of COUNT eliminates the error, but the numbers that are generated are astronomical in size. This indicates to me that there is a *lot* more table joining going on than I expected


What is the correct syntax to produce the desired results? I have a few other tables similar to ProductInventory and Customers; I'm hoping to extend the correct syntax so as to be able to get a comprehensive record count list for each store. Thanks for your help!

Combining Results Of Multiple Rows Based On Group?

ID, Value, Group
1, Football, Sports
1, Baseball, Sports
1, Basketball, Sports
2, Baseball, Sports
3, Football, Sports
1, Lambda Sigma, Greeks
2, Delta Delta, Greeks
etc.

I want a query that will combine that values for each ID into one field per group. So if ID 1 has multiple sports but also a greek attribute, they end up with two rows; the first row containing the combined sports values and the second row the greek valued not combined, because there was only one value in that group for that ID. For example:

ID, Combined Values, Group
1, Football Baseball Basketball, Sports
2, Baseball, Sports
3, Football, Sports
1, Lambda Sigma, Greeks
2, Delta Delta, Greeks

How To Insert Results Of A SQL Query Into The Field Of Another Table, As Comma Seperated Values.

Mar 7, 2008



I am currently working on an application that requires, insertion of the results of a SQL Query in to the field of another table, in the form of a comma separated values.

For example, to explain things in detail:

create table dbo.phone_details

(country varchar(20),
state varchar(30),
list_of_toll_free_numbers text)


insert into dbo,phone_details
values
( 'USA', 'CA', 'select Phone from phone_table where substring(phone, 1, 3) in ('800', '866', '877', '888')' )

The final output I desire is:

country state list_of_toll_free_numbers

SQL Server 2012 :: Pull Expected Results When Using Strings With Comparison Operators?

Mar 1, 2015

We can use comparison operators with strings as well. Hence, I tried to use the following query on a SQL Server 2012 instance with the sample AdventureWorks2012 database (the collation of the database and of the column is the default:

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS):

USE AdventureWorks2012 ;
GO

--Returns 5 records
SELECT pp.Name
FROM Production.Product AS pp
WHERE pp.Name >= N'Short' AND pp.Name <= N'Sport' ;
GO

The query only returns 5 records. This despite the fact that the search is an inclusive search and the Production.Product table contains records that begin with "Sport".

Now, when I replace "Sport" with "Sporu" (just moving one character up in the alphabet to verify whether characters after the word have any impact on the search) gives me 8 records.

USE AdventureWorks2012 ;
GO

--Returns 8 records
SELECT pp.Name
FROM Production.Product AS pp
WHERE pp.Name >= N'Short' AND pp.Name <= N'Sporu' ;
GO

What's going on inside of SQL Server that allows it to fetch "Short-Sleeve Classic Jersey" for the starting word "Short" but prevents it from fetching "Sport-100 Helmet" for the ending word "Sport" despite the search being an inclusive search?

Concatenate Strings After Assigning Text In Place Of Bit Strings

Feb 19, 2007

I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.

I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.

This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:


select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +

case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +

case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String

from new_database

The output would be

Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/

So far, nothing I have tried has worked.

Any ideas?

Comma In Value Within Comma Separated File

Apr 10, 2006

I have a file which contains comma separated columns. One of columns contains names of companies. Sometimes the names of the companies have a comma as part of the name. For those, the value is surrounded by double-quotes.

But it seems that SSIS ignores the double quotes and ONLY looks for the column separator. This causes my value to be split in half.

Traditionally, I thought parsers that deal with this type of import do not automatically take the first comma following the double-quote as the column separator but instead look for the first comma following the ending quote. (i.e. Look at how Excel performs imports...)

I cannot set the column separator of the column to double-quote comma since only those values that HAVE a comma in them are qualified.

Any ideas?

Here is sample fie content to see what I mean:

342123, Jason, 12345
21, Kim,4567
32.43, John Paul, 1245
23, "Mr. T", 98764
12, "Peter, Paul, Mary", 09643

The last entry should be imported as 12 in the first column, "Peter, Paul, Mary" in the second column and 09643 in the third but instead ends up as 12 in the first, "Peter in second column and Paul, Mary", 09643 in the last.

(Oddly enough, if I remove the first column of numbers the import works like it is supposed.)

Is There A Way To Hold The Results Of A Select Query Then Operate On The Results And Changes Will Be Reflected On The Actual Data?

Apr 1, 2007

hi,  like, if i need to do delete some items with the id = 10000 then also need to update on the remaining items on the with the same idthen i will need to go through all the records to fetch the items with the same id right?  so, is there something that i can use to hold those records so that i can do the delete and update just on those records  and don't need to query twice? or is there a way to do that in one go ?thanks in advance!

SQL Server 2008 :: Elegant Way For Returning All Results When Subquery Returns No Results?

Mar 25, 2015

I have four tables: Customer (CustomerId INT, CountyId INT), County (CountyId INT), Search(SearchId INT), and SearchCriteria (SearchCriteriaId INT, SearchId INT, CountyId INT, [others not related to this]).

I want to search Customer based off of the Search record, which could have multiple SearchCriteria records. However, if there aren't any SearchCriteria records with CountyId populated for a given Search, I want it to assume to get all Customer records, regardless of CountyId.

Right now, I'm doing it this way.

DECLARE @SearchId INT = 100
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE
CountyId IN
(
SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT CountyId FROM SearchCriteria WHERE SearchId = @SearchId)
THEN SearchCriteria.CountyId

[Code] .....

This works; it just seems cludgy. Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Need To Display Results Of A Query, Then Use A Drop Down List To Filter The Results.

Feb 12, 2008

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist.
My current SQL statement is as follows.
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))"
So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James.

Mind-boggling Gridview Results! Different Results For Different Teams..

Jun 18, 2008

Hi all, I have the following SQLDataSource statement which connects to my Gridview:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceStandings" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"  SelectCommand="SELECT P.firstName, P.lastName, T.teamName, IsNull(P.gamesPlayed, 0) as gamesPlayed, IsNull(P.plateAppearances,0) as plateAppearances, IsNull( (P.plateAppearances - (P.sacrifices + P.walks)) ,0) as atbats, IsNull(P.hits,0) as hits, P.hits/(CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF(P.atbats, 0), 1))) AS [average], (P.hits + P.walks)/(CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF( (P.atbats + P.sacrifices + P.walks) , 0), 1)))  AS [OBP], (P.hits - (P.doubles + P.triples + P.homeRuns) + (2 * P.doubles) + (3 * P.triples) + (4 * P.homeRuns)) / (CONVERT(Decimal(5,2), IsNull(NullIF(P.atbats, 0), 1))) AS [SLG], P.singles, P.doubles, P.triples, P.homeRuns, P.walks, P.sacrifices, P.runs, P.rbis FROM Players P INNER JOIN Teams T ON P.team = T.teamID ORDER BY P.firstName, P.lastName"></asp:SqlDataSource>There are 8 teams in the database, and somehow the average and obp results are as expected for all teams except where T.teamID = 1.  This doesn't make sense to me at all!  For example, I get the following results with this same query: First NameLast NameTeamGPPAABHAVGOBPSLG1B2B3BHRBBSACRRBI

(ex: 0.719 for the 1st result)***

Removing Individual Results From A Paged Set Of Results.

Oct 19, 2007

Hi,
I have a web form that lets users search for people in my database they wish to contact. The database returns a paged set of results using a CTE, Top X, and Row_number().
I would like to give my users to option of removing individual people from this list but cannot find a way to do this.
I have tried creating a session variable with a comma delimited list of ID's that I pass to my sproc and use in a NOT IN() statement. But I keep getting a "Input string was not in a correct format." Error Message.
Is there any way to do this? I am still new to stored procedures so any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
