I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:
SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent FROM Agents;
I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.
Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!
First post here and am looking for some help with a issue I have with concatenation.
I am looking to concatenate two columns together into one new column...
ins_type + currency
I have searched for help onthis but for some reason nothing I do works...
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

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?
Hi,I've a table with two fields representing one Name and the other teh Surname of a persona. I've a to create a Stored Procedure with one input parameter that is a string containing Name and Surname (I don't know in waht order...)What I'd like to do is to concatenate teh fields Name and Surname and confronting with "LIKE" in the "WHERE" clause... something like this:Select Name, Surname FROM XXX where (Name + ' ' + Surname LIKE @parameter OR Surname + ' '+ Name LIKE @parameter).The problem is that I don't know neither if it is possible neither the correct syntax...
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 am using SQL server 2000 and trying to do a concatenation of firstname,middle-initial and lastname. 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 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.

Hi Guys, I am converting Access SQL to SQL Server and I have two problems: First of all I can’t get the city, state and zip to concatenate. It will not take the "As Location" and it will not allow me to concatenate the fields in the Group By area. Second I ‘m trying to replace a First() function with a Top() function but I’m not having much success. If it is not the first statement I get an error (Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'TOP'.)
Any ideas how I can accomplish what it is I want to do?
Thanx much, Trudye

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
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.
I am trying to write a select statement which will concatenate all values of a string column and provide me with a result set containing just one row of data containing a concatenation of all values.
For eg:
column1 abc def hij klm nop
is it possible to write a select statement which would return
I'm wanting to concatenate something that doesnt exist to an already existing field.
What I need to do is add a generic email address to every record in a data view So, what it would do is take the column that does exist and add @domain.com to another column that I would call username So rather than it just appearing as 911234 it would be a derived column saying 911234@domain.com
i've tried using +''+ but I get a space after the number.
I have a table and a view. Let's call the Table dbo.EmpPers and the view dbo.codes
EmpPers holds personal information and Codes holds all the codes for the company, naturally.
There is a field in Emppers called 'EthnicID'. It a number say for example 1, 2, 3 ect...
'Codes' has a field called CodDesc. It's a varchar for example White, Hispanic, African American. ect...
What is the best way to match up the description with the code? Say for all Persons who have have the Hispanic Code '2', I want to add the description to it in the select statement.

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.
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
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?.
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.
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?
there can be more than one Parentobject so I want to concatenate them so I have them on one line
for example
901 Joe Dow 901 Jane Dow
I want one line - | 901 | Joe Dow, Jane Dow
I found something similar as below but I'm getting dups like
901 |Joe Dow , Joe Dow 901 | Jane Dow, Jane Dow
DECLARE @Delimiter VARCHAR(10) = ' '; -- this is the delimiter we will use when we concatenate the values SELECT DISTINCT ParentObject, (SELECT STUFF( (SELECT @Delimiter + s1.[View As] FROM Signatures s2
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:
Ok, I have three tables worth of data. They basically hold data that is keyed into a system for potential clients and include stuff like names, weights, classes of weight, addresses etc.
The main table that holds data on a record by record basis is set up like this:
This table contains the batches (or collections of the data above). Basically a collection of bills is called a batch, so if a batch has 18 bills in it, those 18 bills are keyed and assigned the prospect_batch_id above.
This is the table that contains the various weights and classes for the individual records in the first table (tbl_prospect):
Tbl_prospect_clwt Prospect_clwt_id (pk, unique) Prospect_id(unique) Class weight
Generally without worrying about the multiple classes and weights it's easy to just join all three tables and pull the fields I need, but now that I have to get multiple classes and weights I have no clue how to actually grab them and delimit them with a comma.
I think I'm only going to be working on tbl_prospect and tbl_prospect_clwt, and if I put a filter in place for the prospect_batch_id I can see the individual record in tbl_prospect as well as the multiple classes and weights in the clwt table, as seen here:
So record 18 of that batch is comprised of two shipments, one that is class 100/weight 1623 and one that is class 70/weight 438, just not sure how to actually grab both of those for each record and delimit them.
We have a table in DB2, which has a column1 (Data type: - decimal (10, 0)) and column2 (Data type: - varchar (70)), I need to concatenate these two columns into one while displaying output
Procedure I followed:--
Tried to convert column1 to varchar using cast function so that I could concatenate both columns. However I ended up in getting the following error message
