Extracting Data From Columns That Contain Multiple Values Spearated By A Comma
Nov 11, 2004
Hi all,
If I have a column in one table (contracts) that contains a set of values (codes that identify the fields contract code) like as follows...
Code:
Contracts table
--------------------------------
Concode - description
--------------------------------
KIDD - Kidderminster General
UNIV - University Hospitals
and then another table (controls) which has a column called contracts where the data within the 'Contracts' field is set out like the following (yes that is right, each of the data in this column are the Foreign Keys which are separated by '/' in which I need to query against the contracts table ) ...
With the those tables and the columns like they are, how can I get my query to display the following information...
PHP Code:
---------------------------------------------------
Con(Controls table) - Description(contracts table)
---------------------------------------------------
BA - Kidderminster General
BA - University Hospitals
---------------------------------------------------
I'm guessing my first job is to somehow extract those Foreign Keys from the 'Contracts' column in the 'Control' table
I have a situation in SSRS to get the common values between the two columns where the values are sorted comma separated as below.Ex:
ColumnA :  abc,cde,efg   ColumnB : cde,xyz,abc  Â
the result in  Â
ColumnC : cde,abc
similarly Column A and B will have n number records. I need to right an expression or the Code function to get the required result in ColumnC. I am using SharePoint Lists as Datasource. Cannot write SQL query to achieve this requirement.
I am SSRS user, We have a .net UI from where we want to pass multi select values, but these values are comma separated in the database. how can I write a sql query such that when I select multi values on my UI, the comma separated values are take care of.
I've to write a function to return a comma delimited values from a table columns
If a table has Tab1 ( Col1,Col2,Col3).
E.g. as below ( the columnName content I want to use as columns for my pivot table
CREATE FUNCTION [RPT].[GetListOfCol] ( @vCat NVARCHAR(4000) ) RETURNS @PList AS BEGIN SELECT @PList += N', [' + [ColumnName] +']' FROM [ETL].[TableDef] WHERE [IsActive] = 1 AND [Category] = @vCat RETURN; END;
I want out put to be as below, I am getting this output from the select query independently by declaring @Plist variable and passing @vcat value, now I want it to be returned from a function when called from a select query output ,Colum1,column2,....
I have a stored procedure that accepts one parameter called @SemesterParam. I can pass one string value such as €˜Fall2007€™ but what if I have multiple values separated by a comma such as 'Fall2007','Fall2006','Fall2005'. I still would like to include those multiple values in the @SemesterParam parameter. I would be curious to hear from some more experienced developers how to deal with this since I am sure someone had to that before.
I have a field called "Owners", and it's a child to an "Activities" table.
An Activity can have on or more owners, and what I'd like to do is some how comma separate the values that come back if there are more than one owners.
I've tried a subreport, but because the row is colored and if another field, title, expands to a second row (b/c of the length) and the subreport has just one name, then the sub-report has some different color underneath due to it being smaller in height.
I am trying to find a way to add into a table a flattened (comma seperated list) of email addresses based on the multiple columns of nformation in another table (joined by customer_full_name and postcode.
This is to highlight duplicate email addresses for people under the same customer_full_name and Postcode.
I have done this using a loop which loops through concatenating the email addresses but it takes 1minute to do 1000. The table is 19,000 so this isn't really acceptable. I have tried temp tables, table variables and none of this seems to make any difference. I think that it is becuase i am joining on text columns?
I'm trying to import some data from a spreadsheet to a database table from a package in integration services. The problem is that I see the data when I open the excel file but when I try to run my package , it doesn't insert any rows in the table and it finishes with a success status.
My excel file has some formulas to get the data from other worksheets. I added a Data Viewer and all I see is null values in every cell.
I've created a custom Data Processing Extension and I've implemented the IDBCommandAnalysis interface so that my reports can enter parameters and pass them to my Data Processing Extension.
My question is, how do I extract the value from the Parameters coming from the report? Where do the parameters get passed off from the report? I can query the Parameters collection and my report gets prompted in Preview mode to enter something for the parameter but I can't find the spot where it gets passed for processing.
I have an access database that is storing text in english and chinese characters. I am importing the data using SSIS and it is putting a 'square' character in place of all the chinese characters. Can I associate multiple code pages to a control? If this is not possible, I would just like to Extract the data and Load it into a table, and i will just handle the errors and write the key fields to an error log. The problem is that the error handler is not redirecting the row. It just simply fails. I have changed all the error actions to Redirect Row too. I currently have a script checking if the 'square' character exists but i feel this should be handled a better way? Has anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions??
This is the error code i get
Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "FDCDOPS0" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3. suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as
SELECT
TBL.col2,TBL.col3 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key] INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2 ON
TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]
Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.
I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information. for e.g.; i was thinking to concatinate both fields like col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA and in search i use SELECT
TBL.col4 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key] Result = 1 row
But it don't work in following scenario col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA
SELECT
TBL.col4 FROM
TBL INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1 ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result=0 Row Any idea how i can write second query to get result?
I'm trying to query an XML column in SQL. The problem I am having is that when multiple values exist it retuns them all in one field. I'd like to insert a comma between values.
For example: Student ID: 100 Student Name: Kelly Preston Subjects: Geography, History, Math
How can I store these values in a database table? I know the normal "INSERT" statement, but how would I store the multiple subjects for a single student ID?
My "Student ID" is auto generated. If I create a new row for each subject, the Student ID will be different for each subject, which I dont want.
Or I can create a new field called "RowNumber" and keep that the primary key.. For example:
Row Number StudentID StudentName Subject 1 100 Kelly Geography 2 100 Kelly History 3 100 Kelly Math
If this is the only way to store the multiple sibjects, then for a given student ID (say 100), how can I retreieve the associated name and subjects? What is the query for that?
I am trying to filter my columns on multiple values. I need them all to be OR because I want it to look through all of the columns and wherever the value matches to not include in the view. My WHERE clause that I thought would work looked like this..
WHERE (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.SYMBOL LIKE '%spot%')) AND (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.ISSPREAD = 'True')) AND (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.GMIPRODUCTCODE = 'Internal')) AND (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.TAG_COMMENT IN ('[]', '[Gscalp]', '[TT]', '[GX2]', '[NA]', '[STELLAR]')) OR (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.TAG_COMMENT IS NULL)
However this does not work and provide the data needed. I then thought that if I replaced all the AND's with OR's that would work, but here it does not filter anything.. not sure where to go from here.
I am writing a stored procedure that needs a access individual entries in a column with multiple entries delimited by a comma(yeah i know, not 1st NF) . Like this:
Key
NotANormalizedCol
1
1324, 5124, 5435,5467
2
423, 23, 5345
3
52334, 53443, 1224
4
12, 4, 1243,66
is there a function that returns a substring given a delimiter character? the only substring returning function that i found are the LEFT and RIGHT that returns fixed length substring.
I am pretty new to this, so I apologize if this is a trivial questions
Select ID, FIRST(forename), FIRST(surname) from table1 GROUP BY ID;
I know First doesn't work in TSQL, I used to use it in Access and now need to run something like that in TSQL. Simply getting unique ID with first forename and surname, cause there are some dupes in a table.
There are records like:
ID     forename    surname -------------------------------- 1   John   Kormack 1  James Dope 2  Erin   Dupes 3  Will Hugh 3   Walter Heisenberg
I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
Suppose that I have a table with following values Table1 Col1 Col2 Col3 ----------------------------------------------------------- P3456 C935876 T675 P5555 C678909 T8888
And the outcome that I want is: CombinedValues(ColumnName) ---------------------------------------------- P3456 - C935876 - T675 P5555 - C678909 - T8888
where CombinedValues column contains values of coulmn 1,2 & 3 seperated by '-' So is there any way to achieve this?
In a table I have some rows with flag A & B for a scode, some scode with only A and some are only B flags.
I would like to fetch all rows with flag A when both flags are present, no rows with B should be fetched. Fetch all rows when only single flags are present for a scode.How to achieve this using TSQL code.
SELECT Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ID1, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ID2, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â type, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (case when type = '1' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value1, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (case when type = '3' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value2, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (case when type <> '1' and type <> '3' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value3 FROM table1 WHEREÂ ID1 = 'x' and ID2= 'y'Â GROUP BY ID1, ID2, Type
Which returns: ID1    ID2       Type    Value1    Value2    Value3 005   11547   0         0.00        0.00       279.23 005   11547   1         15.23      0.00       0.00 005   11547   3         0.00        245.50    0.00
And I want to obtain this result: ID1Â Â Â Â ID2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Value1 Â Â Â Value2 Â Â Â Value3 005Â Â Â 11547Â Â Â Â 15.23Â Â Â Â Â Â 245.50Â Â Â Â 279.23
I was to split each record into multiple columns. The problem is some records need to be split into only 1 column, others may need to be split into more. Also need to remove the "/"'s. This is all dependent  on where a "/" is found. Been beating my head for a while and getting nowhere.
So:
create table #foo (myPK int, c1 nvarchar(425)) insert into #foo values (1,'/folder1') insert into #foo values (2,'/lvl1/folder2') insert into #foo values (3,'/folder1/lvl2/folder3') insert into #foo values (4,'/f1/folder2/lvl3/fldr4')
I am facing a problem in writing the stored procedure for multiple search criteria.
I am trying to write the query in the Procedure as follows
Select * from Car where Price=@Price1 or Price=@price2 or Price=@price=3 and where Manufacture=@Manufacture1 or Manufacture=@Manufacture2 or Manufacture=@Manufacture3 and where Model=@Model1 or Model=@Model2 or Model=@Model3 and where City=@City1 or City=@City2 or City=@City3
I am Not sure of the query but am trying to get the list of cars that are to be filtered based on the user input.
I have to use the above comma separated values into a SQL Search query whose datatype is integer. How would i do this Search query in the IN Operator of SQL Server. My query is :
declare @id varchar(50) set @id= '3,4,6,7' set @id=(select replace(@id,'''',''))-- in below select query Id is of Integer datatype select *from ehsservice where id in(@id)
But this query throws following error message:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '3,4,6,7' to data type int.
Is it possible to assign multiple columns from a SQL query to one variable. In the below query I have different variable (email, fname, month_last_taken) from same query being assigned to different columns, can i pass all columns to one variable only and then extract that column out of that variable later? This way I just need to write the query once in the complete block.
DECLARE @email varchar(500) ,@intFlag INT ,@INTFLAGMAX int ,@TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(100)
