All,
Given multiple records with identical values in all fields except a
single varchar field, is there an efficient query that will group the
records into a single record and concatenate the aforementioned
varchar field into a single field with each of the source records'
values separated by commas?
Example:
Record 1 'Doug' , '1'
Record 2 'Doug' , '2'
Output record 'Doug' , '1,2'
Thanks in advance,
Doug
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.
I have a requirement where I have the following separate tables:
Table A:
FldA FldB
34
35
43
53
54
55
64
74
75
Table B:
FldC FldD
1Break Begin
2Break End
3Out
4In
5Dept
Desired Result:
FldA FldD
3 In;Dept
4 Out
5 Out;In;Dept
6 In
7 In;Dept
I have played around with the newly discovered 'for xml path' but I can't quite seem to get the sql syntax right.
In the "tblEmailGroupLink" table...
I need to find all records with the "UnSubscribed" field having a "True" value. All these records will have a corresponding "Emailid" field.
In the "tblEmailAddress" table...
The same "Emailid" field has a corresponding "EmailAddress" field.
What needed is all the email addresses found in the "EmailAdddress" field of these records.
I'm very new at this so I hope I explained this right. I'd really appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,
Bill
i have a the following table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tIndex] (
[indexID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[wordID] [int] NULL ,
[wordPos] [int] NULL ,
[paraID] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
for each wordID i have many paraID and for each wordID,paraID i have many wordPos
i will use the following convention:
paraID=p
wordID=w
wordPos=wp
i want to concatenate the columns to get the following format:
row1: w1 p1,NB1,wp1,wp2,w3... | p2,NB2,wp4,wp5,wp6... | ...
row2: w2 ...
row3: w3 ...
where NB1 is the number of wp having w1 and p1
Note: the length of a row may exceed 8000 chars
Hi i need to concatenate a value into one field, i currently have a "view" in my sql which is retrieving values from a couple of tables including a junction table "tblUser_Constructor", someof these values are repeating at the moment, the only field changing is the constructor field, which i am trying to concatenate, for instance the following is happening;
User_ID UserName Constructor_ID Constructor
1 Jim 2 Keeley
1 Jim 5 Truro
below is my view;
CREATE VIEW dbo.vwUserASSELECT dbo.tblUser.User_ID, dbo.tblUser.Username, dbo.tblUser.User_Password, dbo.tblUser.User_Title, dbo.tblUser.User_Forename, dbo.tblUser.User_Surname, dbo.tblUser.User_Phone, dbo.tblUser.User_Mobile, dbo.tblUser.User_Email, dbo.tblUser.Access_Right_ID, dbo.tblUser.Tstamp, dbo.tblUser.Professional_Qualifications, dbo.tblUser.Organisation_Name, dbo.tblUser.Organisation_Address, dbo.tblUser.Is_MainContact, dbo.tblUser.LastLogin_DateTime, dbo.tblUser_Constructor.Constructor_ID, dbo.tblAccess_Right.AccessLevel AS [Group], dbo.tblCompany.Company_Name AS ConstructorFROM dbo.tblCompany RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblUser_Constructor ON dbo.tblCompany.Company_ID = dbo.tblUser_Constructor.Constructor_ID RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblUser LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblAccess_Right ON dbo.tblUser.Access_Right_ID = dbo.tblAccess_Right.Access_Right_ID ON dbo.tblUser_Constructor.User_ID = dbo.tblUser.User_ID
I have a SQL query that returns several fields from several tables, eg. Title, Subtitle, Author, Binding and Imprint. When these are returned everything seems rosy until there are two authors linked to one title. When this happens Title, Subtitle, Binding and Imprint are repeated which is not required. Is there a way to concatenate the authors from multple records to return a single title with the concatenated authors, instead of repeating titles due to multiple authors?.
Example:
A query may currently return:
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1a - etc
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1b - etc
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1c - etc
Title2 - Subtitle2 - Author 2a - etc
Title3 - Subtitle3 - Author 3a - etc
When I would like
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1a, Author 1b, Author 1c - etc
Title2 - Subtitle2 - Author 2a - etc
Title3 - Subtitle3 - Author 3a - etc
My actual SQL code, if you are interested, is:
SELECT dbo.edition.ISBN, dbo.edition.title, dbo.party.first_name+' '+dbo.party.surname as name, dbo.edition.reviews, dbo.edition.long_blurb, dbo.series.series_id, dbo.series.series_number,
dbo.series.series_title, dbo.edition.sub_title, dbo.edition.about_author, dbo.edition.short_blurb,
dbo.series.editors_affiliations, dbo.title.contents, dbo.title.affiliations, dbo.series.series_editors
FROM dbo.edition INNER JOIN
dbo.series ON dbo.edition.series_id = dbo.series.series_id INNER JOIN
dbo.title ON dbo.edition.title_id = dbo.title.title_id INNER JOIN
dbo.agreement ON dbo.edition.edition_id = dbo.agreement.edition_id INNER JOIN
dbo.role ON dbo.agreement.role_id = dbo.role.role_id INNER JOIN
dbo.party ON dbo.role.party_id = dbo.party.party_id
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

SQL code for the following? (SQL Server 2008 R2 - SQL Server 2012).
I have Table1 Containing two fields with the below entries
VehicleType Name
Two Wheels Bicycle

Two Wheels Motorcycle

Hi Guys,
I want to group the records on the time difference
declare @tbl as table(id int,intid int,val int,dt datetime)
insert into @tbl
select 1,1,10,'03/31/2006 15:05:22' union all
select 2,1,12,'03/31/2006 15:10:22' union all
select 3,1,15,'03/31/2006 15:15:22' union all
select 4,1,12,'03/31/2006 15:25:22' union all
select 5,1,8,'03/31/2006 15:30:22' union all
select 6,1,6,'03/31/2006 15:35:22' union all
select 7,1,4,'03/31/2006 15:40:22' union all
select 8,1,3,'03/31/2006 15:45:22' union all
select 9,1,10,'03/31/2006 15:50:22'
declare @tbl1 as table(intid int,Tm int,val int)
insert into @tbl1
select 1,5,10
I want a output such that when the val in @tbl goes below the val in @tbl1 for the Tm mentioned in @tbl1
then the time difference should be shown.For example record 1 it starts with 10 the records remain more than 10 till
record number 5.From 5 the records remains lower than 10 till record number 9.So I need to show the the time
difference from record number 5 till 9.
But there is a catch.In @tbl1 there is column named Tm.The time difference sould be calculated only if the diff
more than Tm value in @tbl1.
For example if the value of Tm is changed to say 25 then the there is no need to show the time difference since the
time difference value from record 5 to record 9 is less than 25.
Hope I am clear.
Please help me out.

I have a report that requires SubTotals for each page.
To do this successfully, I had to introduce the following grouping:
Code Snippet=Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/5
This groups every 5 records.
Unfortunately, the length of data in my records is not uniform. For example, certain records have long(over 4 lines) comment field while others are short(1 line).
This means that even though I have an artificial grouping, the group may still be split up over two or more pages.
Is there a way to Group records PER PAGE dynamically?
I'm adding up quantities of an item that are entered in one after another, so the date is the same, but the time differs.
I used the "first" function in access which works the way I want, but sql7 doesn't use the same function. The "convert" function does not work in access but Here is the gist of the query:
SELECT first(CONVERT(varchar,transactions.tran_date,101)) AS [trandate], transactions.tran_type,
SUM(transactions.qty) AS totqty,...etc.
thanx,
Herb

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have tried to process > 3 million Fuzzy grouping records on two different servers with no success. 3 mill works but anything above 4 mill doesn't. Some background:
We are trying to de-dup our customer table on: name (.5 min), address1 (.5 min), city (.5 min), state (exact). .8 overall record min score.
Output includes additional fields: customerid, sourceid, address2, country, phonenumber
Without SP1 installed I couldn't even get a few hundred thousand records to process
Two different servers - same problems. Note that SSIS and SQL Server are running locally on both
The higher end server has 4GB RAM, the other 2.5 GB RAM. Plenty of free disk space on both
SQL Server is configured to use 2 GB of RAM max
The page file is currently at 15GB
After running a number of test on both servers trying different batch sizes etc. the one thing I noticed is that it seems to always error out when SSIS takes over and starts chewing up all the available RAM. This happens after the index is created and SSIS starts "warming caches". On both servers SQL Server uses up about 1.6GB of RAM at this point while SSIS keeps taking over RAM until all physical RAM is used up.
Some questions:
Has anyone been able to process more then 3 million records and if so what is your hardware configuration?
Should we try running SSIS from a different server so it has access to the full amount of physical RAM? (so it doesn't have to fight for RAM with SQL Server)
Should we install Win 2003 Enterprise Server so we can add more RAM?
Any ideas why switching to the page file might be causing errors?
Thanks!!

I want to group by a fields value in a table. I have a purchase table where contracts and orders are stored in together. Now what I need is, I have to group only by the rows that contain an identical contract_no and order_no as those records represent the actual contract. the other rows contain order data-sets which need to be subtracted from the contracts values.
datasource:
contract_no order_no name amount
12 12 contract1 1,000,000
12 215 order215 50,000
12 460 order460 75,000
280 280 contract2 500,000
280 340 order340 10,000
280 410 order410 9,000
I want to display each order that took place via drilldown/hide function in the table, and calculate the amount from the contract that is left.
desired result report:
12 contract1 1,000,000
order 215 50,000
order 460 75,000
amount left 875,000
I am creating a report that shows orders created by our employees but I am having trouble with one employee. She changed her last name this year and so in the report, it shows a line her with her maiden name and one with her new name.
Is there a way to combine all the data from both names into one name so it appears on one line and looks like a single person instead of two.
Is there a way in Reporting Services layout mode to get the report to display more than one response for one field in the same cell?
More specifically, I have a list of classes that lists section, title, and instructors. If the class has more than one instructor, I want the instructor cell to list both instructors in one cell, separated by a semi-colon, rather than listing all the class information - along with instructor - in two separate rows. Any suggestions?
something like this:
Section
Title
Instructors
15
Class 1
Jones
16
Class 2
Jones; Smith
I tried to ask a similar question yesterday and got shot down, so I'll try again in a different way. I have been looking online at the gaps and islands approach, and it seems to always be referencing a singular field, so i can't find anything which is clear to get my head around it.In the context of a hotel (people checking in and out) I would like to identify how long someone has been staying at the hotel (The Island?) regardless if they checked out and back in the following day.
Data example:
DECLARE @LengthOfStay TABLE
(
PersonVARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
CheckInDATE NOT NULL,
CheckOutDATE NULL
[code]...
I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks
I'm really stumped on this one. I'm a self taught SQL guy, so there is probobly something I'm overlooking.
I'm trying to get information like this in to a report:
WO#
-WO Line #
--(Details)
--Work Order Line Detail #1
--Work Order Line Detail #2
--Work Order Line Detail #3
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
--(Parts)
--Work Order Line Parts #1
--Work Order Line Parts #2
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
WO#
-WO Line #
--(Details)
--Work Order Line Detail #1
--Work Order Line Detail #2
--Work Order Line Detail #3
--Work Order Line Detail #etc
--(Parts)
--Work Order Line Parts #1
--Work Order Line Parts #2
--Work Order Line Parts #etc
I'm unable to get the grouping right on this. Since the line details and line parts both are children of the line #, how do you do "parallel groups"?
There are 4 tables:
Work Order Header
Work Order Line
Work Order Line Details
Work Order Line Requisitions
The Header has a unique PK.
The Line uses the Header and a Line # as foreign keys that together are unique.
The Detail and requisition tables use the header and line #'s in addition to their own line number foreign keys. My queries ends up looking like this:
WO WOL WOLR WOLD
226952 10000 10000 10000
226952 10000 10000 20000
226952 10000 10000 30000
226952 10000 10000 40000
226952 10000 20000 10000
226952 10000 20000 20000
226952 10000 20000 30000
226952 10000 20000 40000
399999 10000 NULL 10000
375654 10000 10000 NULL
etc
Hierarchy:
WO > WOL > WOLD
WO > WOL > WOLR
It probobly isn't best practice, but I'm kinda new so I need some guidance. I'd really appreciate any help! Here's my query:
SELECT [Work Order Header].No_ AS WO_No, [Work Order Line].[Line No_] AS WOL_No,
[Work Order Requisition].[Line No_] AS WOLR_No, [Work Order Line Detail].[Line No_] AS WOLD_No
FROM [Work Order Header] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Line] ON [Work Order Header].No_ = [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN
[Work Order Line Detail] ON [Work Order Line].[Work Order No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order No_] AND
[Work Order Line].[Line No_] = [Work Order Line Detail].[Work Order Line No_] LEFT OUTER JOIN

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,

Hi,
All records of a table must be deleted if a field (field1) contains NULL or is made empty by a previous update command.
I did this but it only works when the field is made empty, not when it contains NULL:
dim field1 as string = ""...sql = "delete from mytable WHERE (field1=@field1)" comd = New SqlCommand(sql, oConnection) comd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@field1", field1) comd.ExecuteNonQuery()
How can i do that?
Thanks

I have two tables and they have a foreign key relationship. It will be a 1 to Many realationship.
Table1- the primary key table has the following columns
ContentID - int identity field
DateAdded- datetime
Table2 - The foreign key table, has the following relevant fields
FK - int foreign key
version - int
When an initial record is added there is a record added to each table. The ContentID in Table1 will match the FK field in Table2. Then a user will be able to "edit" the record in Table2, but instead of writing over the record that is already there, a new record will be added to Table2. I would like to calculate the version field where each time a record is added for the particular ContentID/FK it adds 1 to the last version that was added to that particular ContentID/FK.
Does that make sense. I am trying to implement some type of revision tracking for my CMS that I am building and this is the only way I can come up with because my client is worried that somebody will go in and make incorrect changes to their site and they want to be able to roll it back to a previous version.
I would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks,

I am looking for some help in pulling certain people out of a table
This is the basic setup of my table
PK ID NAME MEETING
1 11111 Joe CLASS98
2 22222 Jane CLASS98
3 33333 Bob CLASS98
4 11111 Joe CLASS04
5 22222 Jane CLASS04
6 44444 Sally CLASS04
What I am wanting to do is Select only the people who attended CLASS98 but didn't attend CLASS04
I could just remove the CLASS04 people by sorting if I could just return the rows that do not duplicate the ID and meeting is either CLASS04 or CLASS98
Either way would get me to my goal.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
