Concatenating Fields In SQL

Apr 11, 2008

I am using SQL server 2000 and trying to do a concatenation of firstname,middle-initial and lastname.

SELECT first_name+('mid_ini'=
case
when middle_init is null then ''
when middle_init ='' then ''
else middle_init
end)+nsl_last_name
FROM 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

Concatenating Fields

Nov 9, 2007

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!

Concatenating Text Fields?

Dec 18, 2007


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

Concatenating Numeric Fields

Mar 28, 2006

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!

Concatenating Fields With NULL Values

Jul 11, 2006

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,

Concatenating Fields Over Multiple Rows

Jul 13, 2007

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?

Auto Scripting SPs, Perhaps Concatenating Text Fields...

Jun 9, 2006

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!

Concatenating Sql Statements

Jan 30, 2002

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

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 + ','

Concatenating Using The IIF Statement

Apr 16, 2008

Hi Guys,

I am converting Access queries to SQL. One query has a string of IIF statements that can concatenate several strings into one field. For instance:

IIf([Hot Dogs]=-1,"* Wants a Hot Dog ","") &
IIf([Hamburger]=-1,"*Wants a Hamburger ","") &
IIf([mustard]=-1,"*add mustard ","") &
IIf([fries]=-1,"*Include Fries ","") &
IIf([Chips]=-1,"*Include Chips ","")

Consequently the output could be:
*Hamburger *add mustard *Include Chips

I know I can use the ‘Case When Then’ statement but how do I concatenate?

Thanx

Concatenating Strings

Jan 27, 2008

I find myself between rock and hard place.

My requirement is to simply output a flat file from an OLE DB source containing three types of records.
The output records should look something like this:
Type 1 contains field1, field2, field3
Type 2 contains field1, field3, field6
Type3 contains field1, field4, field5

The source table contains all six fields.

If I simply map the input to output columns, I get all fields output in each record, which is not what I want.

So I run the source through a derived column transformation, inspecting the record type field and creating a new column containing the relevant fields concatenated together, e.g field1 + field 2 + field3 for the Type 1 record.

The problem is that the fields are now all scrunched together, i.e all the trailing spaces are being stripped out of each field during concatenation.

Is there any way to string these fields together while maintaining the original field length?

I'd like the output to look like
ABC FGH XYZ instead of
ABCFGHXYZ

Concatenating Multiple Returns On One Field Only

Nov 18, 2004

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

Concatenating One-to-many Relationship Into A Single Column

Sep 7, 2006

Hi,

I need to concatenate a field from certain number of rows. I created a function to return the concatenated value which will be a part of another view/procedure to be used for reporting purposes.

Here's sample data:
iIncidentID iWorkNoteID iseqNum workNoteAll
1 1 1 notes1(1275 chars)
2 1 1 notes2(1275 chars)
2 1 2 notes3(1275 chars)
3 1 1 notes4(1275 chars)
3 1 2 notes5(1275 chars)
3 1 3 notes6(1275 chars)

Final output
iIncidentID workNoteALL
1 notes1(1275 chars)
2 notes2 notes3
3 notes4 notes5 notes6

final woorkNoteAll will be a part of a query in another view which contains many other fields.

Here's the function. I'm passing an ID and based on that ID, the function returns a string. However, when I tested the function it's giving me a null.

/*
--Calling syntax:: Select dbo.getIncidentNotes(187714) as 'Notes'
--Function to get all the latest notes for an incident
*/
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.getIncidentNotes(@iIncidentID int)
RETURNS varchar(8000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @allnotes varchar(8000)
DECLARE @seqnotes varchar(255)
DECLARE @seqnum int
DECLARE @counter int
SELECT @counter=1

SELECT @seqnum = max(iseqnum) from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID

WHILE (@COUNTER <=@seqnum)
BEGIN
SELECT @seqnotes = workNoteALL from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID and iSeqNum=@counter
SELECT @allnotes = @allnotes + @seqnotes
SELECT @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1
END --While Begin
RETURN @allnotes
END

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with the code?

I really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
