Concatenate Multiple Records Into One Field
Feb 7, 2007
Someone please help!. I am trying to create a view in SQL Server 2000 to use for a report but I am having problems with concatenating multiple values into one field. In my example below I am trying to list all records in my queried table in columnA then concatenate a list of all other records that share the same value in column B of the queried table into another field. If there are no other matches for a row in columnA then I would leave the corresponding field in columnB blank. Thanks in advance.
TABLE
ColumnAColumnB
1.......A
2.......B
3.......C
4.......A
5.......A
6.......B
7.......C
8.......D
9.......C
10......E
EXPECTED OUTPUT
ColumnA ColumnB
1.......4,5
2.......6
3.......7
4.......1,5
5.......1, 4
6.......2
7.......3
8.......
9.......3,7

I have a SQL statement that fetches book information via a TITLE_ID which is fine if we only have one edition (hardback), but if there are two editions (hardback and paperback) it will return two rows like:
Title - Author - Edition
The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Hdbk
The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Pbk
Is there any way to concatenate the Edition field so the two lines become one? I have searched for ways to do this but have had no luck.

Quick question. What I'm trying to do is concatenate a field for multiple records (hope that is worded in an understandable manner). Here's an example:
ID.....Code
5......33
5......23
ID.....Code...Result
5......33.....33 23
5......23.....33 23
I need the code to get the Result field. I know the code if you were to find the sum, min, max, etc...
(SELECT SUM(CODE)
FROM Table
WHERE ID = Table.ID) AS Result
But I don't know how to write it so it will combine strings.

Dear all,I need to update one field in a table for a given record and visit number.Example below is how the table looks -SID VISIT DLCO101 0 12101 1 16102 0 18102 2 10103 1 12103 2 14Here is how I would like it to look.

I'm a total newb to SQL so I apologize if I butcher the description of what I'm looking to do :) Hopefully the example makes more sense. Is it possible for a single record in 1 table to contain relationships to several records in a different table?
What I've got so far is 2 tables - Hardware and Software, with ID Specifying primary keys HardwareID and SoftwareID respectively. the hardware records are for computer details and the software obviously are for programs. What I need to be able to do is pull up a hardware record and be able to see what software is installed on it, and vice versa pull up a software record to see which computers it's installed on. The problem I'm running into is that a computer can have multiple programs installed on it and a program can be installed on multiple computers, so I don't know how to create that relationship to account for that.
What I'd like to see is in the Hardware table a column for SoftwareID that has a foreign key relationship to the SoftwareID field in the Software Table, and vice versa....My question though is is that possible to do and have potentially multiple separate records it links to from that same column field? I might have a computer with say Windows XP Pro, Office 2003 Standard, Adobe Acrobat 8 and a proprietary rate calculator program that i need each to be displayed with their details when I open that computer's record. Or on the software side if I need to see which computers a license is already installed on then I want to make sure I can pull up the full list of computers.
And finally if what I'd like to do isn't possible as I described it...any recommendations for a better way?
Thanks all for the help!

I'm new to MS SQL and VB. I have a table with one field JOB_NAME containing 20 records. Out of that field I want to retrieve 6 of the 20 records into a pulldown menu. They are all unique text names like so:
Anna Smith
John Doe
etc. I did not see IDs listed for any of the names in the table when I looked.
There is no common denominator to the names that can be filtered in the SELECT statement, and the 6 that I want will need to be pulled out individually.
Is there a way to do this with a SELECT statement? I have not found much information about how to extract unique records out of a single field. Here's the statement I'm using which pulls all of them:
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT JOB_NAME AS Names FROM [WORKER_NAMES] WHERE JOB_NAME<>' ' ORDER BY JOB_NAME ASC"
This gives me the total list but I only want to bring back 6 of the 20 for the pulldown.
Is there a way to modify this statement to pull only the records that I want?
Thanks for any help you can give.

I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table
CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1](
[BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL,
[PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?

Is there a Data Flow Transromation in SSIS to take multiple columns from an excel sheet and concatinate them into one filed.
Ex:
'Strt-Address', 'City', 'State' into 'HomeAddress'.
I could dump them into a temp table and concatinate the fields and insert that into the destination but that seems like a waiste of using SSIS.
Thanks

I have a datetime field for e.g 2015-09-15 00:00:00.000 and an integer field for e.g.100809.
The integer field is actually a time value as in hours,minutes,seconds. For e.g. the value
100809 means
10-hours

Hi all, I am creating a search table where the keywords field is madeup of several text fields and this is causing me some problems. I canconcatentate the text ok but i can't seem to concatenate matchingrecords here is the cursor loop. I'm not a fan of cursors but alsodidn't see another way of achieving this.declare @ptr1 varbinary(16)declare @Ptr2 varbinary(16)declare @profileid intdeclare @x intset @profileid = 0while @profileid is not nullbeginselect@profileid = min([id]),@ptr1 = MIN(textptr(text1))from #holdingwhere [id] @profileiddeclare c2 cursor fast_forward forselect textptr(searchterms), datalength(searchterms)from searchwhere search.[id] = @profileidopen c2fetch c2 into @ptr2, @xwhile @@fetch_status = 0beginupdatetext search.searchterms @ptr2 null 0 #holding.text1 @ptr1fetch c2 into @ptr2, @xendclose c2deallocate c2endThe #holding table contains the fields that i want to concatenate andthe search table is the resulting table. This example would loopthrough search and find id 1 in search and then append another fieldmatching id 1 in holding then move onto the next field in turn goingthrough the whole table.i.e.search holding result after each loopid text id text1 abc 1 def abcdef2 ghi 2 jkl ghijklWhen I run this, some of the records concatenate properly but most dontwith the same text being appended to the end of searchterms. i.e loadsof results will end up with jkl tagged onto the end. I can't figure outwhen my loop is falliing over!!! Can anyone help?Dan

I have another table calledBidFolder which is related to both BidItem and BidAddendum, based on acolumn called RefId and one called Type, i.e. type 1 is a relationshipto BidItem and type 2 is a relationship to BidAddendum.Is there any way to specify a foreign key that will allow for thedifferent types indicating which table the relationship should existon? Or do I have to have two separate tables with identical columns(and remove the type column) ?? I would prefer not to have multipleidentical tables.

I am trying to create a report using Reporting Services.
My problem right now is that the way the table is constructed, I am trying to pull 3 seperate values i.e. One is the number of Hours, One is the type of work, and the 3rd is the Grade, out of one column and place them in 3 seperate columns in the report.
I can currently get one value but how to get the information I need to be able to use in my reports.
So far what I've been working with SQL Reporting Services 2005 I love it and have made several reports, but this one has got me stumped.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I might not have made my problem quite clear enough. My table has one column labeled value. The value in that table is linked through an ID field to another table where the ID's are broken down to one ID =Number of Hours, One ID = Grade and One ID= type of work.
What I'm trying to do is when using these ID's and seperate the value related to those ID's into 3 seperate columns in a query for using in Reporting Services to create the report
As you can see, I'm attempting to change the name of the same column 3 times to reflect the correct information and then link them all to the person, where one person might have several entries in the other fields.
As you can see I can change the names individually in queries and pull the information seperately, it's when roll them altogether is where I'm running into my problem
Thanks for the suggestions that were made, I apoligize for not making the problem clearer.
Here is a copy of what I'm attempting to accomplish. I didn't have it with me last night when posting.
--Pulls the Service Opportunity
SELECT cs.value AS "Service Opportunity"
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name = 'Service Opportunity'
--Pulls the Number of Hours
SELECT cs.value AS 'Number of Hours'
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name ='Num of Hours'
--Pulls the Person Grade Level
SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'
FROM Cstudent cs
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid
WHERE ca.name ='Grade'
--Pulls the Person Number, First and Last Name and Grade Level
SELECT s.personnumber, s.lastname, s.firstname, cs.value as "Grade"
FROM student s
INNER JOIN cperson cs ON cs.personid = s.personid
INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid
WHERE cs.value =(SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'
WHERE ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid AND ca.name='Grade')

Hey all,I am having some serious trouble getting the correct syntax for a select statement to work the way I need it, any help I could get on this would be greatly appreciated.I have a table called Units which stores computers and a table called Software which stores software. I have a bit field in Units called OEM, when this is set to true I don't want the select statement to pull this unit down when I am assigning software to other units.Here is my select statement: SELECT Software.SID, Software.SN, Software.Name, Users.First + ' ' + Users.Last AS 'Assigned User', Units.Make + '-' + Units.Model AS 'Assigned Unit' FROM dbo.Software LEFT JOIN dbo.Units ON Software.SN = Units.SN LEFT JOIN dbo.Users ON Units.UID = Users.UID WHERE (Units.OEM = 'FALSE') AND (Software.SN LIKE '%' + @SearchString + '%')Everything works as expected, unless of course the unit has no software assigned to it yet, it won't return it because its not tied to a Units.OEM field. Is there anyway to have it return ALL records that even arn't joined OR are joined but have OEM set to false?Thanks, let me know if I need to clear anything up.-Matthew

Hi everyone,
I'm fairly basic in SQL and I was wondering if it was possible to update the id field of a certain table in all records of that table. And to update the links to those ids in other tables.
Hope you understand and thanks in advance,
