Function To Create Comma Separated List From Any Given Column/table.
Jul 20, 2005
Hi,
I'm sure this is a common problem.. to create a single field from a
whole column, where each row would be separated by a comma.
I can do this for a specified table, and column.. and I've created a
function using VBA to achieve a more dynamic (and very slow) solution..
so I would like to implement it using a user defined function in sql server.
The problems I'm facing are, that I can't use dynamic sql in a
function.. and I also can't use temporary tables which could build up a
'standard' table from parameters given to then perform the function on.
So, with these limitations, what other options do I have?
Cheers,
Chris

i have the following:
DECLARE @Table TABLE (
 OrgRoleNumTxt VARCHAR(10)
, AccountNm varchar(100)
, EffectDate DATETIME
, OperationNm varchar(100)
, Premium decimal(18,2)
)
Insert into @Table(OrgRoleNumTxt, AccountNm, EffectDate, OperationNm, Premium) VALUES
('00236', 'R.R. Donnelley', '2010-01-01', 'Chicago', 1000),
('00236', 'R.R. Donnelley', '2010-01-01', 'Boston', 3000)

Is it possible using basic T-SQL?

I have a table that is used to build rules. The rules point to other columns in other tables and usually contain only one value (i.e. ABC). But one of the options is to add a comma-separated list of SSNs (i.e. 123123123,012012012,112231122). I am trying to build a single query that allows me to leverage that list to get multiple rows from another table.
This obviously works:
SELECT * FROM vw_Person_Profile P (NOLOCK)
WHERE P.PrsnPIISSN_Chr IN ('123123123','012012012','112231122')
But this does not:
SELECT * FROM vw_Person_Profile P (NOLOCK)
WHERE P.PrsnPIISSN_Chr IN (
SELECT '''' + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(4000),txtFieldValue), ',', ''',''') + ''''
FROM MassProcessing_Rules PR
WHERE PR.intRuleID = 10
)

I have 3 variables that gets comma separated values. My requirement is to get them into a temporary table with 3 columns and each column should have single value. E.g. ifÂ
Declare @SID varchar(max),@CID VARCHAR(MAX),@KID VARCHAR(MAX)
Set @SID='1,2,3,4'
Set @CID='6,7,8,9'
Set @KID='A,BB,CCC,DDDD'
--Now my requirement is to get them in a temp table with 3 column and different rows as per comma separated values in variables.
Now my requirement is to get them in a temp table with 3 columns and different rows (as per number of comma separated values in variables) E.g.

Hi,
I have a table called geofence. It has a primary key geofence_id. Each geofence consists of a set of latitudes and latitudes.
So I defined two columns latitude and longitude and their type is varchar. I want to store all latitude/longitude values as a comma separated values in latitude/longitude columns
So in general how do people implement these types of requirements in relational databases?

Hello. I need to write a UDF that would split a comma separated list and return 4 values. I need to return the first 4 values and ignore the commas after that. If there are no commas in the string that's passed then just return the table with empty strings. The UDF should accept 2 inputs. The ntext and a position and return a value based on the position.For example: 1,2,3,textshould createPosition | Value-------------------------1|12|23|34|textand return a value based on the position. If there are more than 3 commas for example1,2,3,This string, though short, contains a commashould createPosition | Value-------------------------1|12|23|34|This string, though short, contains a commaand return a value based on the position. And if there are are less than 3 commas in the string passedFor example: 1,2 or NULL or 2:3.5 or This is a string with no commasshould createPosition | Value
-------------------------
1| (empty string)
2| (empty string)
3| (empty string)
4| (empty string)and return a value based on the position.This is what I wrote so far. CREATE function GetValueFromPosition (@Input nvarchar(4000), @position int)Returns nvarchar(4000)AsBegin -- Declare the return Variable Declare @ReturnValue nvarchar(4000) Select @ReturnValue = LTRIM(RTRIM(member_id)) From dbo.SplitString(@Input, ',') Where position = @position Return @ReturnValueEnd CREATE Function SplitString(@text varchar(8000), @delimiter varchar(1) = ',')-- This function splits a string of CSV values and creates a table variable with the values.-- Returns the table variable that it createsRETURNS @Strings TABLE( position int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, member_id varchar(8000))ASBEGIN Declare @index int Set @index = -1 WHILE (LEN(@text) > 0) BEGIN SET @index = CHARINDEX(@delimiter , @text) IF (@index = 0) AND (LEN(@text) > 0) BEGIN INSERT INTO @Strings VALUES (@text) BREAK END IF (@index > 1) BEGIN INSERT INTO @Strings VALUES (LEFT(@text, @index - 1)) SET @text = RIGHT(@text, (LEN(@text) - @index)) END ELSE SET @text = RIGHT(@text, (LEN(@text) - @index)) END RETURNEND I am trying to modify these according to what I need but its not working.

I have the following SQL Query:
SELECT user_profiles.userFirstName, user_profiles.userInitial, user_profiles.userLastName, user_types.userTypeDesc, user_profiles.userOfficeIDs, user_profiles.userEmail
FROM user_profiles
INNER JOIN user_types ON user_types.userTypeID = user_types.userTypeID
The field userOfficeID contains a comma separated list of values such as "1,2" to identify that the user is in both the NJ and NY office.
Table office_locations
OfficeID officeState
1 NJ
2 NY
3 CT
I would like the output to be something similar to:
Name Office userOfficeIDs value
John Smith NJ 1
Mary Smith NJ/NY 1,2
Jim Smith NJ/CT 1,3
Mike Smith NY 2
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks

How to use comma separated value list in the where clause?
I would like to do something like the following (Set voted = true for all rows in tblVoters where EmpID is in the comma separated value list).
update tbl_Voters
set voted = true
where EmpID in @empIdsCsv
Where, @empIdsCsv = €™12,23,345,€™ (IDs of the employees)
Since the above is not possible I have done the following dynamic query:
-- Convert the comma separated values to conditional statement like EmpID = {id} or EmpliD = {id}€¦
set @empIdsCsv = 'EmpID=' + substring(@empIdsCsv , 0, len(@empIdsCsv )) -- Remove trailing comma
set @empIdsCsv = replace(@empIdsCsv , ',', ' or EmpID=')
declare @markVoters varchar(8000)
set @markVoters = '
update tbl_Voters
set voted = true
where €™ + @empIdsCsv
--Execute the dinamic query
exec (@markVoters)
The above code generates the following dynamic query:
update tbl_Voters
set voted = true
where
EmpID= 12 or EmpID=23 or EmpID=345
The obvious drawback here is the performance and the limitation of the dynamic query length (8000 chars).
Can someone suggest a better solution with the ability to use comma seperated values in the where clause?

I have a replace statement like the following:
select  (replace('FMG','FMG','FM'))
So this is straightforward as it will replace the word 'FMG' with 'FM'
However, SSRS is passing a comma separated list like this:
select  (replace('FMG','AFM','FMG','FM'))
And what I need to do is replace the comma separated list of 'FMG','AFM' only. Â I tried this:
select  (replace('''FMG','AFM''','FMG','FM'))
But it still complaining about syntax errors. How do I get the comma separated list to be seen by the replace function?

Hi,
I have a table of users, a table of categories, and a many-to-many table linking users to categories.
My problem is that I want to select all the users with an extra column containing a comma-separated list of the categories they belong to.
Here is a stripped-down version of the table fields:
tbl_User
UserId, Email
tbl_Category
CatId, CatName
tbl_User_Category
UserId, CatId
I have tried using the coalesce function to build a string, but can only get this to work for one row at a time:
DECLARE @list nvarchar(100)
SELECT @list = COALESCE(@list + ', ', '') + CAST(CatId AS varchar(4))
FROM tbl_User_Category
WHERE UserId = @UserId
SELECT @list as List
Any ideas on how to add to this to get it to do each row in tbl_Page? Or am I attacking this from the wrong angle?????
Any help would be fantastic!
thanks,
Rob

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?
Create table #tempa
(
customer_Full_Name varchar(100),
Customer_Email varchar(100),
Postcode varchar(100),
AlternateEmail varchar(max)NULL
)
insert into #tempa (customer_full_name,customer_email,postcode)
[code]....

I have a multiselect checkbox list in my UI. I pass the list items to my stored proc as comma separated parameter and then I have a function which converts this parameter to a table with separate rows.
E.g. : a,b,c,d
Converted to result table
result
a
b
c
d
I want to insert each row of the result table into another table. How to do that.
E.g., the table after the function is :
CREATE TABLE #result
(
Subject varchar(100)
)
insert into #result values ('a')
insert into #result values ('b')
insert into #result values ('c')
insert into #result values ('d')
So the pseudo code is something like
for each row in #result
insert row into another table

How do I get the values of a column from a table separated by a comma.
For example
Suppose I have a table with column Levels (below), I want the values of the corresponding column separated by a comma, so that I can use this in a different query to pull these values from a different table
Levels
Level1Name
Level1Value
Level2Name
Level2Value
Result should look like
Level1Name, Level1Value, Level2Name, Level2Value

Hi There,
Can anybody suggest me what is the best way to take a column with comma separated stings and output them into multiple columns with strings?
for example if I have a column with "watertown, newton" as a string, I need to separate them to two columns with watertown and newton values?
Is Derived column transformation the best way to do it?
Thanks.

We have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.

I have a file which contains comma separated columns. One of columns contains names of companies. Sometimes the names of the companies have a comma as part of the name. For those, the value is surrounded by double-quotes.
But it seems that SSIS ignores the double quotes and ONLY looks for the column separator. This causes my value to be split in half.
Traditionally, I thought parsers that deal with this type of import do not automatically take the first comma following the double-quote as the column separator but instead look for the first comma following the ending quote. (i.e. Look at how Excel performs imports...)
I cannot set the column separator of the column to double-quote comma since only those values that HAVE a comma in them are qualified.
Any ideas?
Here is sample fie content to see what I mean:
342123, Jason, 12345
21, Kim,4567
32.43, John Paul, 1245
23, "Mr. T", 98764
12, "Peter, Paul, Mary", 09643
The last entry should be imported as 12 in the first column, "Peter, Paul, Mary" in the second column and 09643 in the third but instead ends up as 12 in the first, "Peter in second column and Paul, Mary", 09643 in the last.
(Oddly enough, if I remove the first column of numbers the import works like it is supposed.)
