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.)

I have one sp which has param name as cordinatorname varchar(max)
In where condition of my sp i passed as
coordinator=(coordinatorname in (select ltrim(rtrim(value)) from dbo.fnSPLIT(@coordinatorname,',')))
But now my promblm is for @coordinatorname i have values as 'coorcinator1', 'coordinato2,inc'
So when my ssrs report taking these values as multiselect, comma seperated coordinator2,inc also has comma already.

I’m passing a comma separated parameter (home, world, child) into stored procedure.
I have a Slitter function which is basically creates a table out of delimited list.
My stored procedure needs to find matched records in one of the table based on delimited list.
I have something like this:
SELECT *
FROM Word
WHERE WordName IN (SELECT * FROM dbo.fxSplitter('home,world,child, ',')
I would like to have my stored procedure be able to select rows, even if comma delimited parameter holds part of the name like this “hom, wor, chil� .
Another words it will be SELECT * FROM Word WHERE WordName LIKE '%hom%' OR WordName LIKE '%wor%' OR WordName LIKE '%chil%'

Hello, I need your advice.
Here's my scenario.
Table A
------------
id name
100 apple
115 grape
125 tomato
145 melon
Table B
-------------
id Fruits
11 100, 115, 145
12 125, 115
13 100
I thought i could get the list of fruits using this statement:
select name
from A where id IN (select fruits from B where id = 11)
But apparently not, it's working if
select name
from A where id IN (select fruits from B where id = 13)
That means it does not recognize values seperated by comma. Anyone who has any idea how to make it work?
Thanks in advance.
HS.

What the difference between the following two codes in where clause?
The both provides the same resultset for me.

The second code :

Hello. I need to write a UDF that would split a comma separated list and return 4 values. I need to return the first 4 values and ignore the commas after that. If there are no commas in the string that's passed then just return the table with empty strings. The UDF should accept 2 inputs. The ntext and a position and return a value based on the position.For example: 1,2,3,textshould createPosition | Value-------------------------1|12|23|34|textand return a value based on the position. If there are more than 3 commas for example1,2,3,This string, though short, contains a commashould createPosition | Value-------------------------1|12|23|34|This string, though short, contains a commaand return a value based on the position. And if there are are less than 3 commas in the string passedFor example: 1,2 or NULL or 2:3.5 or This is a string with no commasshould createPosition | Value
-------------------------
1| (empty string)
2| (empty string)
3| (empty string)

I have a table called evidence, which has the following Fields
| evidence_id | Description| Standards|
E001 blagh 1.1,1.2,1.3
Ok I am trying to search the comma-separated string in the standards field using the like clause so I can display the evidence_id.
SQL looks like
SELECT Evidence.Standards, *
FROM Evidence
WHERE (((Evidence.Standards) Like '%1.1%'));
However it will not search through the list and select for example if I change 1.1 to 1.2. The commas wont allow it.
It works if I just have one item in the list that is just 1.1. Can anyone help me to search a comma-separated string for a certain string?
Thanks

Hello!
We are on SqlServer 2005.
Let me point out at the beginning that I don't have anyway to normalize this structure or get the admins to change the way the data is stored. We don't own the database where this is housed...we're just given the information via an .xls file...which we import to a SQLServer table.
I have some data that is given to me that has two columns (below is for an example):
Column A is an identifiying number, i.e. for a project
Column B is a comma separated list of account strings for the project
A sample layout of what we get via the .xls file might look like the following (Column A is to the left of the dashes, and Column B is to the right of the dashes):
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 2222, 3333, 4444, 5555
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- X900, 6789, 9000, 9876
What I need to do is now haveprojects listed out in Column A with each of it's account strings in Column B like so:
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 2222
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 3333
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 4444
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 5555
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- X900
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- 6789
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- 9000
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- 9876
Any suggestions would greatly help!

I have the following SQL Query:
SELECT user_profiles.userFirstName, user_profiles.userInitial, user_profiles.userLastName, user_types.userTypeDesc, user_profiles.userOfficeIDs, user_profiles.userEmail
FROM user_profiles
INNER JOIN user_types ON user_types.userTypeID = user_types.userTypeID
The field userOfficeID contains a comma separated list of values such as "1,2" to identify that the user is in both the NJ and NY office.
Table office_locations
OfficeID officeState
1 NJ
2 NY
3 CT
I would like the output to be something similar to:
Name Office userOfficeIDs value
John Smith NJ 1
Mary Smith NJ/NY 1,2
Jim Smith NJ/CT 1,3
Mike Smith NY 2
Any direction would be appreciated.

I just learned to use following query to convert columns to rows separated by comma.
Here is that :
Declare @list varchar(max)
select @list = isnull(@field+ ',','') + columname from table1
select @list
This produces the output I want but I'm confused with the statement. I just learnt it by heart. I don't know the meaning of it particular for the statement "select @list = isnull.............. from table1" . What exactly it does to give the desired output?

How to use comma separated value list in the where clause?
I would like to do something like the following (Set voted = true for all rows in tblVoters where EmpID is in the comma separated value list).
update tbl_Voters
set voted = true
where EmpID in @empIdsCsv
Where, @empIdsCsv = €™12,23,345,€™ (IDs of the employees)
Since the above is not possible I have done the following dynamic query:
-- Convert the comma separated values to conditional statement like EmpID = {id} or EmpliD = {id}€¦
set @empIdsCsv = 'EmpID=' + substring(@empIdsCsv , 0, len(@empIdsCsv )) -- Remove trailing comma
set @empIdsCsv = replace(@empIdsCsv , ',', ' or EmpID=')
declare @markVoters varchar(8000)
set @markVoters = '
update tbl_Voters
set voted = true
where €™ + @empIdsCsv
--Execute the dinamic query
exec (@markVoters)
The above code generates the following dynamic query:
update tbl_Voters
set voted = true
where
EmpID= 12 or EmpID=23 or EmpID=345
The obvious drawback here is the performance and the limitation of the dynamic query length (8000 chars).
Can someone suggest a better solution with the ability to use comma seperated values in the where clause?

I'm new (very new) to asp.net and now at 3am after maybe 12 straight hours of trying to go through examples and understand the syntax, I have a somewhat working program... basically a query parameters screen that upon a click generates a report. The query parameter screen basically is a HTML form with a procedure that puts the field values into session variables. The report uses <asp:sessionparameters> in the sqldatasource to apply aforementioned session variables to filter the SELECT statement's results. They are then displayed using the gridview control. It actually works!
Now I'm trying to figure out: if I need/want my users to be able to enter comma-separated list of values into the HTML form field and somehow get these into the SELECT statement's WHERE clause, is there a way to do this? I'm not very experienced with asp nor sql server and have been struggling with this new challenge. I really could use pointers as to whether there's an easy way to handle this. In other languages in the past I would have had to parse the comma-separated list and use those to construct my SELECT statement programmatically. I get the impression that with all this ASP.NET fanciness, there has to be a better way?
If it matters, I'm using ASP.NET 2.0 with SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Studio Web 2005 Express.
Thanks in advance for any replies, they would be GREATLY appreciated :)

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to pass in a comma separated string
"12,14,16,18" and use it in a stored procedure with "IN" like this:
@SubRegions varchar(255) <-- my comma separated string
SELECT *
FROM myTable
WHERE tbl_myTable.SubRegionID IN (@SubRegions)
It tells me it has trouble converting "'12,14,16,18'" to an INT. :(

I'd like to limit my query results to only items that match any part of a dynamic csv string table but am having some trouble (postgres SQL). Details: I need to calculate how many hours our staff spends seeing clients. Each staff has different appointments that can count toward this. The specified appointments for each staff are listed as comma separated values. My existing query calculates the appointment hours for each staff in a given time period.
However, I need limiting my query to only include specified activities for each staff. My current where clause uses IN to compare the appointment (i.e. activity) listed in the staff's schedule with what is listed an an approved appointment type (i.e. performance target activity). The query runs but it seems to only count one of the activities listed in the csv rather then count all the activities that match with the csv.
select (sum (kept)/60) from (select distinct rpt_scheduled_activities.staff_id as sid,
rpt_scheduled_activities.service_date, rpt_scheduled_activities.client_id,
from rpt_scheduled_activities inner join rpt_staff_performance_target on rpt_scheduled_activities.staff_id = rpt_staff_performance_target.staff_id where

How do I get the values of a column from a table separated by a comma.
For example
Suppose I have a table with column Levels (below), I want the values of the corresponding column separated by a comma, so that I can use this in a different query to pull these values from a different table
Levels
Level1Name
Level1Value
Level2Name
Level2Value
Result should look like
Level1Name, Level1Value, Level2Name, Level2Value

I have a replace statement like the following:
select  (replace('FMG','FMG','FM'))
So this is straightforward as it will replace the word 'FMG' with 'FM'
However, SSRS is passing a comma separated list like this:
select  (replace('FMG','AFM','FMG','FM'))
And what I need to do is replace the comma separated list of 'FMG','AFM' only. Â I tried this:
select  (replace('''FMG','AFM''','FMG','FM'))
But it still complaining about syntax errors. How do I get the comma separated list to be seen by the replace function?
