My SQL knowledge is limited so if I get stuff wrong then correct me... but I can imagine this task will be quite testing...
I am working on a system that logs ([Audit] table) the changes to fields on some tables using a Trigger on UPDATE. I need to produce a 'quick' report that returns the date when the tables overallStatus field was set to 1.
In the [Audit] table I can find all the field changes for the record in question using this SQL...
select *
from audit
where rowid = 1309606
order by auditID asc
My problem is filtering this data. The fields I need are formatted as below, see records returned, in ASC order...
So need to find when 1309606's overallStatus was changed to 1. Manually looking at the data, I can see overallStatus was modified in 3 of the above 5 [Audit] records. It started life as 0, then went to 1 and then to 3. I'm aware that I need to look at the previous Audits date for when it was changed to the value I'm looking for... So it was changed to 1 on 2008-04-25 10:51:47.930.
What is the best way to approach this problem? I'm hoping to use T-SQL only and not have to use an external scripting language, unless I can embed vbscript or jscript inside a T-SQL function and then use arrays, etc?
Somehow I need to convert the ASCII(127) seperated list of fieldname into an array or list, find the index of the fieldname 'overallStatus' and then lookup that value in the datafield.
Hope that makes sense and any help would be great!
I want to pull out some information for documenting my user accounts.I want to be able to show all of the users and what companies those users have access to.
The table which stores the company information lists it in multiple rows, so there will be many results for each user user -- companyid johnd -- 2 johnd -- 5 johnd -- 1
I want to select this into one record so it will show up like this user -- companies johnd -- 2,5,1
The only way I know how to do this would be with a sub-query that uses a cursor to loop through & dump it into one string value, and then output the string value to the field. This seems extremely inefficient for such a seemingly simple task.
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
---------- ------- ----------------------------------------- USA CA 8009877654, 8665764398, 8776543219
Is there a way to return a comma seperated list in a query?For example if I have this simple querySelect member_name From members It returns all the members in diff rows (lets assume we have 3)So the result will bemember_name--------------name1name2name3Instead of this I need to have the result in one row with values seperated by commas.member_name---------------name1,name2,name3I hope I am clear enough. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
What is the best way? I have a field of comma seperated article type id values in a users profile. This list is a set of values that sows the article types the person does NOT want to see. Each article has an article type id. I need to do a select joining the article table to the member table that only shows those article id's that are not in the comma seperated list. How would I do that in a sql statement?
Not sure the best way to do this. They are passing in a comma seperated string. I have a field that has comma seperated strings in it. I need to compare the 2 strings and do a select on that field that has any of the words in the string passed in. So if the pass... "car,boat,van"
and in the field 2 of the 3 records get sent back car,train,bike boat,truck,plane bike,plane,train
I would send them back the top 2 because the top one contains car and the second contains boat
Hi I have a text field called testing which shows the selection the user has made from a checked list. I want to save the contents of testing to a datadase with coloum varchar and with a comma to seperate the selections. It stores ok but sql queries do not recognise them as comma seperated values. e.g the selection from the vb code produses: Beauty, Fashion, Travel. Sql takes the lot as one. When I test a query say select from table type where Category = beauy it gives nothing. How do I store it so sql would recognise it as seperate enteries. my vb code is below Dim msg As StringDim li As ListItem msg = ""For Each li In CaregoryCheckBoxList.Items If li.Selected = True Then 'asp has a security default of no accetping html in input fields br is html code so causes error 'msg = msg & "<br>" & li.Text & " selected." msg = msg & li.Text & "," & " " End If Next Testing.Text = msg

Scenario:Table 1 (a id, b name)Table 2 (a FKid, d value)A standard join on a gives me something like:a1 b1 d1a1 b1 d2What I want is:a1 b1 d1,d2I can easily do this with a function or cursor, but is is somewhatslow, and I need to do this a lot and I don't really want to have tomaintain tons of functions or cursors.Thoughts?
Hi, I need a sql that returns the query result as comma seperated list of values, instead of several rows. Below is the scenario...

I want to insert things to SQL-server from an ascii file but I also want to add logics with IF - Then _ Else statements. I guess the only way is to make a stored Procedure.
How do you do when you want to read from a text file using the data into variables and then write it into the database ?

I have a table that has product name and submissionID and some other columns. I am really concerned about these two columns. My task is to get all the submissionIDs for a particular product name and display SubmissionIDs seperated by commas against each product name . The tables below might give a better idea current scenario: Product Name SubmissionID columnC Column D AAA 123 AAA 456 BBB 111 ccc 121 AAA 789 Expected result: Product Name SubmissionID columnC Column D AAA 123,456,789 BBB 111 CCC 121 Any suggestions/pointers would be highly appreciated.
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like: List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
I am a new user to SQL an I need to create a data base record from a comma delimted file (.CVS). The CVS file has up to ten fields all alpha/numeric. I must create this data base file using a stored procedure! The data base records will be displayed on a grid screen but this grid view will not be used to update the original CVS file.
I have a row in a SQL table that has 4 numerical values, separated by comma. I'd like to take this and make it 4 separate columns. Values are not always the same length, but are always delimited by commas.
How can I allow users to input numbers with commas into a database field with an 'int' datatype without getting this error, 'Input string was not in a correct format'?
have a field in a table that has combined lastname,firstname and middle name like
combs,albert mike woods-athere,jane alice
The last and first name are separated by a comma, and the middle name by a space I need in tsql to split them to last name,first name and middle name I used below
I have about 100 K records of the form below in Example 1 and I would like to turn them into the form of Example 2, basically turn the entries in field2 into a coma separated list of values sorted by field1.
I need to essentially do 2 loops. One loops through each record and then inside each record row, I want to perform an insert on each column.
Something like this maybe using a cursor or something else:
For each record in my table (I'll just use the cursor) For each column in current record for cursor perform some sql based on the current column value Next Next
So below, all I need to do is figure out how to loop through each column for the current record in the cursor
create table #test (id int ,color varchar(20) ) insert into #test (id, color) values (1, 'blue'),(2, 'red'),(3,'green'),(4,'red,green')
if I wanted to run a query to select any records that had red in the color field, how would I do that? Not the one with only red, but a query that would give me both record number 2 and record number 4.
I have a comma separated field containing numerous 2 digit numbers that I would like splitting out by a corresponding unique code held in another field on the same row.
E.g
Unique Code Comma Separated Field
14587934 1,5,17,18,19,40,51,62,70
6998468 10,45,62,18,19
79585264 1,5,18
These needs to be in column format or held in an array to be used as conditional criteria.
Using Flat File Connection Manager, I am specifying Text Qualifier = Double quotes{"}, and i have TXT file with one column for lastname and first name as "LN,FN", and settings are set to comma delimted, now the connectin manager is creating two different columns for LN and FN,
Is there a way to run a function or sproc on a specific field in every row of a returned dataset, without using a cursor? i.e.
Code:
Select encryptedSSN, (exec udf_decrypt(encryptedSSN, decryptedSSN as OUTPUT) as ssn From...
or something like?
Here is my scenario: We are encrypting (in storage) ssns. I need to generate a report that lists results by (decrypted) ssn. The dataset needs to have the decrypted SSN in it (I can't decrypt each record line by line, as you would in an application.)
