Concatenation Aggregate

Nov 17, 2007

Are we actually going to get a string concatenation aggregate in SQL Server 2008?? I am so sick of having to write a UDF for every concatenation I want to do. I am well aware of all the methods available to do it now, and they are all junk, and the performance is horrible. I'm sure it is a challenging problem, and there are known pitfalls, but its time to address these.

The notion that it is the responsibility of the front end to do the concatenation is pure bs. You don't dump 10,000 rows to your report server when you only need to display 1000, just so you can concatenate one lousy column.

I want to be able to write:

SELECT CustName, SUM(ProductPrice), CONCAT(ProductName, [my separator], ORDER OVER ProductName ASC)
FROM Orders

And I'm not going to stop complaining til I get it! (-;

How To Aggregate A Column By Concatenation

Mar 28, 2012

How do I aggregate a column by concatenation?

/*
SQL Server 2000 datbase

I have 3 tables.
A "client" table.
A "call history" table.
And a "call detail" table.

The "client" table contains data about individual clients.
The "call history" table contains data about calls to or from the clients in the "client" table. (This is a one-to-many relationship of client-to-history interactions.)
The "call detail" table contains detail data about a particular "call history" entry. (This is also a one-to-many relationship of history-to-detail entries.)
*/

Code:

DECLARE @Client TABLE (ClientID INT PRIMARY KEY, ClientName VARCHAR(100))
INSERT INTO @Client
SELECT 1 [ClientID], 'Client A' [ClientName]
UNION ALL SELECT 2, 'Client B'
UNION ALL SELECT 3, 'Client C'
UNION ALL SELECT 4, 'Client D'
SELECT c.ClientID, c.ClientName

[Code]....

Aggregate Concatenation In SQL 2000 Vs 2005

Dec 10, 2007

I have created a UDF in SQL 2000 to implement a String Concatenation in an aggregate query. It works fine, but with the large data set I am using this against, it is very SLOW. (I also tried using a Cursor in a SP but that was even slower!)

I have seen several articles on the web about performing aggregate concatenation in SQL Server 2005 using either the PIVOT function, XML, or the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Does anyone know how much better these statements perform in SQL 2005 over the method I am using in SQL 2000? If it is significantly higher performing in 2005 this may push us to upgrade our system to use it.

Thanks,
Mike

Analysis :: Calculated Member From Aggregate And Non-aggregate Factors

Sep 22, 2015

I have 2 Dimensions in SSAS (see below end), I want to create a calculated member, named

This_Year_Billable_Objective_Count, with its formula = BillableLastYear*(100+ BillableObjective)/100.

The first factor, BillableLastYear is a number, aggregated (sum) from child units.

The second factor, BillableObjective is a percent number (for example 28 means 28%), it's not aggregate. It's an dependent value for each unit.

How can I calculate This_Year_Billable_Objective_Count for each unit?

\ able 1
SELECT [UnitKey]
,[UnitID]
,[UnitName]
,[Unit2Name]
,[Unit3Name]
,[Unit4Name]

[Code] .....

Concatenation

Jun 12, 2008

I need to concatenate two date fields so they appear in a drop-down list like this: 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM
I'm using MS SQL 2005 and my query looks like this: SELECT ClinicTimesID, ClinicID, (CTStartTime + ' - ' + CTEndTime) AS TimeSlot FROM Clinics_Times WHERE (ClinicID = 1) and I get this error: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Can I strip out the date so that only the time appears or is it even possible to concatenate these fields? If so, how?
Thanks!

Concatenation

Oct 3, 2007

I am completely new to SQL and I have some syntax questions. I am trying to concatenate 4 fields and some padded constants to form a new key field to perform joins. The result should be a twelve character field without spaces. My problem is that the current fields use spaces as place holders and I need to replace the spaces with ‘0’.

[RD_ID] nvarchar length 5
[RDWY_ID] nvarchar length 1
[MLGE_TYPE] nvarchar length 1
[OVLAP_MLGE_CD] nvarchar length 1

Concatenate 12 characters

1st ‘0’ (constant)
2nd, 3rd, and 4th, from [RD_ID] (without the suffix)
5th and 6th from [RD_ID] suffix or replace spaces with ‘00’
7th 1 or 2 from [RDWY_ID]
8th Z from [MLGE_TYPE] or replace space with ‘0’
9th 1 – 9 from [OVLAP_MLGE_CD] or replace space with ‘0’
10th ‘S’ (constant)
11th ‘0’ (constant)
12th ‘0’ (constant)

Results should resemble
0001CQ100S00 or 000100100S00

This is the query I used in Access.

LRS: "0" & IIf((Len(LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID])))=3),LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID])) & "00",LTrim(RTrim([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![RD_ID]))) & [HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![DIR_RDWY_ID] & IIf([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![MLGE_TYPE]=" ",0,[HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![MLGE_TYPE]) & IIf([HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![OVLAP_MLGE_CD]=" ",0,[HITIS2_TVCLEAR2]![OVLAP_MLGE_CD]) & "S00"

Thanks for any help.

Dynamic SQL - Concatenation!

Hi All,
I've been trying to create a dynamic query using the 'Like' clause and '%'.
my code snippet looks like this:
while (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)begin set @likeString = @likeString + ' item_Text LIKE ''%'+@word+'%'' OR ' fetch next from theLike into @word end

-- strip off last ORset @likeString = ltrim(rtrim(substring(@likeString, 0, (len(@likeString) - 3))))-- ================================================-- create query to find keywords in the index and store in temp table-- ================================================set @query = 'INSERT into #resulttable (itemcount, item_id) SELECT COUNT(d.item_id), d.item_id FROM tp_index_details AS d INNER JOIN tp_index ON d.idx_id = tp_index.idx_id 'set @query = @query +' WHERE (d.idx_id IN (SELECT idx_id FROM tp_index AS i WHERE ( 'set @query = rtrim(@query) + @likeStringset @query = @query + ' ) AND (subscription_id = 1000))) GROUP BY d.item_id ORDER BY d.item_id DESC'
The problem is the @query string gets truncated. My question is how to get the quotes around '%' variables to work in a string?
Thanks for any help!

SQL And Proper Concatenation Within VB

Jun 9, 2008

Hi all - I have posted inquiries on this rather vexing issue before, so I apologize in advance for revisting this. I am trying to create the code to add the parameters for two CheckBoxLists together. One CheckBoxList allows users to choose a group of Customers by Area Code, the other "CBL" allows users to select Customers by a type of Category that these Customers are grouped into. When a user selects Customers via one or the other CBL, I have no problems. If, however, the user wants to get all the Customers from one or more Area Codes who ALSO may or may not be members of one or more Categories; I have had trouble trying to create the proper SQL. What I have so far:Protected Sub btn_CustomerSearchCombined_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_CustomerSearchCombined.Click Dim CSC_SqlString As String = "SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.CustomerName, Customers.CategoryID, Customers.EstHours, Customers.Locality, Category.Category FROM Customers INNER JOIN Category ON Customers.CategoryID = Category.CategoryID WHERE " Dim ACItem As ListItem Dim CATItem As ListItem For Each ACItem In cbl_CustomersearchAREA.Items If ACItem.Selected Then CSC_SqlString &= "Customers.AreaCodeID = '" & ACItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next CSC_SqlString &= "' AND " <-- this is the heart of my problem, I believe For Each CATItem In cbl_CustomersearchCAT.Items If CATItem.Selected Then CSC_SqlString &= "Customers.CategoryID = '" & CATItem.Value & "' OR " End If Next CSC_SqlString = Left(CSC_SqlString, Len(CSC_SqlString) - 4) CSC_SqlString &= "ORDER By Categories.Category" sql_CustomersearchGrid.SelectCommand = CSC_SqlString End SubAny help on this is much appreciated, many thanks --

SELECT CONCATENATION

Aug 28, 2000

I'm trying to implement a system where I want to use something like a group by with a concatenation clause.

e.g.

Table 1.
ID Field
1 null
2 null

Table 2.
ID Value
1 AAA
1 BBB
2 CCC
2 DDD
2 EEE

Using one query I would like to transform Table 1 to

ID Field
1 AAABBB
2 CCCDDDEEE

Is there any way of doing this ? At the moment I'm using two cursors to accomplish this task, but this is not really efficient.

NULL && Concatenation

Mar 23, 2006

I am using the following sql statement to concatenate fields from a sql server in my query.

SELECT RTRIM(title) + ' ' + RTRIM(fname) + ' ' + RTRIM(lname) AS name, id FROM contact

2 questions:

1. How can I avoid a Null name field resulting from either fname or lname being Null? One Null field in the contatenation yields a Null field, even though the other field is not Null.

2. Does concatentation in the sql statement reduce performance significanlty?

Hi, i have this query that is perfect on SQL2005 but in SQL2000 it gives me the error: "Column 'D.RevenueCode' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause."

SELECT SUBSTRING(D.RevenueCode, 5, 2) + ' ' +
(SELECT A.sdp_des
FROM vw_UNI_se_girev A
WHERE A.sdp = SUBSTRING(D.RevenueCode, 5, 2)
AND Cast(A.Comp AS Integer) = D.CompanyCode) AS RevenueGrpItem,

GROUP BY D.CompanyCode, SUBSTRING(D.RevenueCode, 5, 2)

It appears that when I remove the + and put a comma it works correctly but that's not what I want !

Any suggestions?
