Friends,
I am attempting to concatenate two numeric type fields together with character data and the query is adding them together. I am assuming I need to convert the ints to a string type but would appreciate some info on the best way to do this...I am sure it's something simple but am not finding much on the web about it.
SELECT vehFacID + '-' + vehID AS vehNew FROM Vehicles
Returns the sum of vehFacID & vehID. Doh!

Hi,there's a method to concatenate fields in a WHERE clause?I've a parameter which represents a name and surname of a person; in the table I've two fields representing one the name and the other the surname. I'd like to do a "LIKE" comparison concatenating Name and Surname field and confronting with my parameter... Is it possible?

SELECT first_name+('mid_ini'= casewhen middle_init is null then ''when middle_init ='' then ''else middle_initend)+nsl_last_nameFROM tbl_names
How is it possible to use the CASE condition along with concatenating the fields. Is this possible?
I would like my result to be "Bob J Sam".
and if there is no middle initial it should be blank or when its null it should be blank.
I know you can separate and get the results with the CASE statement,but is this feasible when you want to concatenate?
Thank you
I'm looking for ideas / options for concatenating several fields into one based on a sequence number. The sequence could go as high as 90 but I'm only interested in concatenating the first 3 sequences. I'd like to compare when seq is the same as the id, it's concatenated and placed in a virtual column.
Example:
table x:
column:attritbute
id:123
fname:xyz
lname:zmith
seq:1
address: 123 something
id:123
fname:abc
lname:zmith
address: 123 something
seq:2
Query:
select *
from x
where id = 123
would return 2 records:
ID | Concat | address | fname | lname
123 | abc / xyz | 123 something | xyz | zmith
...
I would like it to return:
ID Concat address
123 | abc / xyz | 123 something ....
Thanks!
Hi All,
I am trying to get at some text fields from an AS400(JBA) system. the problem i'm having is that for each new line of text on AS400 it creates a new row with a line number associated in the SQL table. When trying to export to excel this causes problems because i need the text in one cell not spread over 15/20 lines.
I need to create a query/function that will concatenate the text lines together. I'm fairly new to T-SQL so could do with some help.
Example:-
ID TxtLn Text
R262965
1
Text 1
R262965
2
Text 2
R262965
3
Text 3
What i'm aiming for is:-
ID ConcatText
R262965 Text1 Text2 Text3
Can anyone please help me or guide me towards a starting point.
Thanks
Hey everyone,
This is probably a very simple question, but I am just stumped. I am storing different name parts in different fields, but I need to create a view that will pull all of those fields together for reports, dropdowns, etc.
Here is my current SELECT statement:
SELECT m.FName + SPACE(1) + m.MName + SPACE(1) + m.LName + ', ' + m.Credentials AS Name,
m.JobTitle,
m.Company,
m.Department,
m.Address,
m.City + ', ' + m.State + ' ' + m.Zipcode AS CSZ,
m.WorkPhone,
m.FAX,
m.Email,
c.Chapter,
m.Active,
s.Sector,
i.Industry
FROM tblMembers m
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblChapters c
ON m.ChapterID = c.ChapterID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblSectors s
ON m.SectorID = s.SectorID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblIndustries i
ON m.IndustryID = i.IndustryID
WHERE m.DRGInclude = 1
My problem is that I don't know how to test for NULL values in a field. When you concatenate fields that contain NULL values, the entire contactenated field returns NULL. I am not aware of an IF statement that is available within the SELECT statement.
The first thing I would like to accomplish is to test to see if MName contains NULL. If it does I do not want to include + SPACE(1) + m.MName in the clause. Then, if Credentials contains NULL I do not want to include + ', ' + m.Credentials in the clause.
Can someone tell me what I am missing? Is there a function that I can use for this?
Thanks,
I have a query that produces seperate rows for people, but I want to combine them into one place. I tried doing this in SQL but apparently it's not very easy in SQL Server. You need to loop through a table using cursors. I'm not quite that advanced with SQL Server and was wondering if there might be an easier way just using SSRS.
In other words I have a table as such:
1 John Smith
2 Jane Doe
3 Matthew Jones
And I'd like to create one textbox that contains the following:
"John Smith, Jane Doe, Matthew Jones"
I've been drawing a blank. Anyone have any ideas?

Good afternoon one and all,
I have the following problem that I can use some help with :
I have a table in a linked server that has the date stored in three fields (i.e. day,month and year (I have no idea why)). I would like to concatenate these three fields together into a datetime format in a SQL statement
Something like
SELECT ([stc_dd] & '/' & [stc_mm] & '/' & [stc_yy]) AS stkdate
(the above line does not work)
Hope that is clear, thanx in advance for any and all help

I have a simple query which displays items from inventory with their latest annual test date. I want to create another unique reference in my results to use as a certificate number. The number should be a combination of the item+month+year from the test date. What is the easiest way to accomplish this?
My query and my desired results are below:
select item, test_date
from inventory
where cat = 'TELE' and itemised_status > 15

Hi,
I'm trying to get the text of all my SPs saved into text (*.sql) files. My first thought was to use sp_helptext and bcp the table to a text file but this isn't working (see my other post) so thought I'd try another method.
I can get the code from syscomment.text and concatenate the varchar(8000) field together in a text field. Unfortunately this isn't as easy as just text = text + newtext, how is this done?
Or am I doing it all comletely the wrong way? BTW, I have over 150 SPs so I can't save them individually.
Thanks!

Four Wheels Sedan, SUV, Pickup, Minivan
Hi,
This may seem like a simple question to be asking but I’m not the most experienced working with DTS loads and can't understand (don't know) why my load is failing.
I am trying to load in a text file comma separated into a table I have created.
It consists of only 5 entries
01 - varchar (20)
02 - smalldatetime
03 - smalldatetime
04 - numeric Scale (1)
05 - numeric Scale (1)
Here are the first two lines from my file,
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS1,02/02/2005,05/02/2005,0,1
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS2,01/02/2005/06/02/2005,1,1
As far as I can se it should be working but it gives me the error:
The number of failing rows exceeds the maximum specified.
TransformCopy 'DTSTransformation_4'conversion error: General conversion failure on column pair (source column 'Col004(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'Result1' (DBTYPE_NUMERIC)).
Help.
Can't figure out what’s going on so any ideas would be useful.
Cheers.

Hi
I'm using an SQL server database to run a website with ASP.
A new page I'm making will only display the contents on fields containing numeric data and it won't display text.
Other pages work fine. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening - I've never seen in before.

I've generated a report using Reporting Services, and some of my fields are numeric with the value zero. On generating the report this is shown as 0.00 and not 0. Is this something that is easily fixed?
Hello again
How do I sum up and group numeric values into one output column in SSIS?
I have data that looks like this:
Refno date credit amount
11675 1987-04-23 7.03 13501.27
and I want to add the credit and amount columns together and output them as one column, In T-SQL, i'd do this:
SELECT Refno, SUM(Credit + Amount)
FROM Transfer
GROUP BY Refno, Date
I could add this SQL into my SSIS package easily enough but I wan't to learn how to do it the SSIS way
If I create an index on a field in SQL Server, what will be the most efficient (fastest) field type to index a field? (This field will be a "Pointer" to a child table that will contain a list of codes, and their description.)
Would a Numeric field be quicker than a VarChar field?
VarChar would make it easier for a Human to decipher the raw records. (For example, if I used a numeric the code would be 42 or 47, while the VarChar could be 'savings' or 'checking'.)
Basically I will have the following "Master" table: FieldType
---------
IDInt
NameVarChar
StatusInt -or- VarChar
Customer_TypeInt -or- VarChar
If Customer_Type is a code that can be looked up in another table, and I index that field, would I want the "Code" to be an Int or VarChar?
SQL: Select *
From Master
Where Customer_Type = <42> or <'savings'>
My Where clause would depend on the field type.
Thank you, Bryan

I'm attempting to use the isnull function to convert null values in a column to a blank. It works on the alpha field but not the numeric and I was wondering what can be done for numeric field conversion.

Guys
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are :
@N = 21
@SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000
@SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right
When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error -
SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
Any ideas ??

I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Manisha
Hi,
I was trying to find numeric characters in a field of nvarchar. I looked this up in HELP.
Wildcard
Meaning
%
Any string of zero or more characters.
_
Any single character.
[ ]
Any single character within the specified range (for example, [a-f]) or set (for example, [abcdef]).
Any single character not within the specified range (for example, [^a - f]) or set (for example, [^abcdef]).
Nowhere in the examples below it in Help was it explicitly detailed that a user could do this.
In MS Access the # can be substituted for any numeric character such that I could do a WHERE clause:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE "####*"
After looking at the above for the [ ] wildcard, it became clear that I could subsitute [0-9] for #:
WHERE
Gift_Date NOT LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
using single quotes and the % wildcard instead of Access' double quotes and * wildcard.
Just putting this out there for anybody else that is new to SQL, like me.

Hi how would i concatenate columns from my database into one column, these are the columns im trying to concatenate;
SELECT Companies.companyName, Companies.companyAddressLine1 , Companies.companyAddressLine2 as Company, Companies.companyAddressLine3, Companies.companyTown, Companies.companyPostcode, AS COMPANY
Thank you
I have two columns of type integer that I want to concatenate. I also want to put a "/ " in between the columns.
I have tried doing it in the same way as I would for varchar columns but that doesn't seem to work for integers.

I have a web application that has SQL7 as the back end. SQLServer and ORACLE have a feature that allows sql commands to be combined in one statement. Another words I am able to to
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id = 2 DROP TABLE other_table
If I type this in a query analyzer It will perform both commands. Is there a way to turn this 'feature' off.
The main reason I want to turn it off is so if a numerical value is sent as a url variable someone can't add the drop table statement or any other sql command to the value of the url variable and have it executed. We have added ample code to trap for this problem but I would like to also handle it at the database level.
Thanks,

I have a table with 1-4 20 character description fields which need to be concatenated into one value. The data is stored like below
patientid allergy1 allergy2 allergy3 allergy4
100
200 tylenol
300 tylenol bees
The way the data is stored there would never be a allergy3
with an allergy2 being null (the blanks are nulls)
I tried below but it doesn't like the case and concatenation. ANy better ideas
select patientid,allergy_cmt1 +
allergy_cmt2 =
case
when allergy_cmt2 = null then null
else allergy_cmt2 + ','
end
