Hi,
As I build a record set in an SP I need to add in a string containing a list derived from a second query. I need the results of the sub query to be presented as a single string in the first query, separated by a single space.
I have no idea how to do this in t-sql, and am doing it on the web server at the moment, but becase the dataset is quite large, I'm getting 20 - 40 second processing times which is far too long.
I have found reference to the xp_sprintf function but this is not supported by my host, so not a solution.
I'm no expert in t-sql, so I imagine there's a way somewhere, and would be grateful for any advice available.
regards,

I have a query that I'm stumped on. The data has about 6000 records, of which about 460 of those have distinct dealer names and ids.
I am trying to condense this data so that there is only one record for each dealer, but my 3rd column has different values which is why some dealers have only 2 records, and others may have 10.
I know how to select distinct values, but what I want is to return a list of comma separated values for my 3rd column which consists of all the unique values from that 3rd column for that dealer.
For instance, say I have a dealer with 8 records. They have a unique ID and Dealer Name, but the 8 records appear because the dealer has 8 entries for its activity. The activities may or may not be unique.
So for example I have dealer ABC who has an id of 54, their name is ABC, but for their activites they have 8 entries (apple, orange, banana, pear, apple, banana, mango, peach).
I wnt to be able to select the distinct id, name, and distinct activities so that when my query is returned and displayed the record appears as such:
"54","ABC","apple, orange, banana, pear, mango, peach"
Does that make sense?
I have a couple columns in a table that have a data type of Text. In a query I need to concatenate these two columns into one result.
For example
Code:
SELECT (Table1.TextColumn1 + ' ' + Table1.TextColumn2) AS 'Text'
FROM Table1
However when I try this I get the error
Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.
how to properly use the "For XML Path" code to concatenate multiple values into one record. What I have is a procedure I've written for a SSRS report that summarizes drive information: date, account, recruiter, times.But each drive can have multiple shifts, and each shift will have it's own vehicle assigned. So a drive may have 1 vehicle assigned to it or it may have 5. If there are 5 shifts/5 vehicles, I don't want to the report to display 5 rows of data for the one drive. So I'm trying to get all of the vehicles to be placed into one field for the report.My initial sub-query will not work because it is possible that it will contain more than one item (vehicle):
Select
DM.DriveID [DriveID],
DM.FromDateTime [FromDateTime],
DSD.ShiftID [ShiftID],
Case When DM.OpenToPublic = 1 Then 'Yes' Else 'No' End As [OpenToPublic],
Case When DM.OwnerType=0 Then 'Mobile' Else 'Fixed' End As [OwnerType],
Case When DM.OwnerType = 0 Then Acct.Name Else CD.DescLong End As [OwnerName],
[code]...

Hi all,
I have a scenario which I am not able to figure out how to do it better for quite some time.
Assume I have a few rows of data :
RunningID Date WOid
1234 1/23/2007 23
1236 1/24/2007 23
1239 1/2/2007 24
1222 1/4/2007 23
1321 2/4/2007 22
My objective is to merge all RunningID into a single cell when WOid is the same (this will most probably use a "group by" to get the different WOid out). Maybe some aggregate function that can do it as:
select ReturnConca(RunningID, "#") as RunningID_str, max(Date) as MaxDate, max(WOid) as WO from tableXXX
group by WOid
Results:
RunningID_str MaxDate WO
1234#1236#1222 1/24/2007 23
1239 1/2/2007 24
1321 2/4/2007 22
Any advise would be much appreciated.
I am trying to pivot my data results so that instead of showing multiple rows for each product a client has it will show one line for each client and concatenate all of their products together.
For example, if I run the following query:
SELECT
[Year],
[Client_Name],
[Product_Name]
FROM My.dbo.Table
GROUP BY
[Year],
[Client_Name],
[Product_Name]
I get the following result set:
YearClient_NameProduct_Name
2014BobHosting
2014BobDevelopment
2014BobTesting
2014FredDevelopment
2014FredConsulting
2014MaxConsulting
2015BobHosting
2015BobTesting
What I want to get back as the result set is the following:
YearClient NameProduct-List
2014BobHosting-Development-Testing
2014FredDevelopment-Consulting
2014MaxConsulting
2015BobHosting-Testing
So, I would only get one record back for each Client for each Year with a list of all of their products concatenated together.
Need help. How to concat into 1 row from the example below:

Hey all
Just like the title asks...Is it possible...I have a table that stores memos but breaks the memo text field up and assigns a key to associate it all as one big text field in the application. What I am needing to do is to create a custom table for a customization to have the memo txt in one row per customer, per memo number. So, is there any way to concatenate memotext into one row per memo?
Thanks

Is there a way to concatenate the values of a particular field together into one field for all the records in each group of a GROUP BY without using XML?
Ideally, I want to accomplish this in a stored procedure. Normally, I would handle this in the front end, but my front end is Crystal ...
For example, if my data was:
1 "A"
1 "B"
1 "C"
2 "D"
2 "E"
I want to group by the first value and concatenate the second value:
1 "A,B,C"
2 "D,E"
Very easy using code - I simply add a function to the query in Access (not very efficient, but effective), or using recordsets in the app (which is actually very efficient) except my front end is Crystal in this case .
I have a table like so
code remarks
1234 abcd
4567 efgh
I need to concatenate the values in the remarks column into one row like below
abcd, efgh....how is it possible
I hope this is the correct place to ask this...
I would like to concatenate a String value to an Int value using an SQL statement. At the moment it reads like this:
SELECT 'website.com/shop/product.cfm?ProductID=' + Products.ProductID AS Product_URL
But unfortunately I am getting the error:
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'website.com/shop/product.cfm?ProductID=' to data type int."
Any idea how to get around this at all just using an SQL query statement?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there,
We are storing dates in a SQL table as dayPublished, monthPublished, yearPublished because sometimes not all the values are available.
I thought something like
select dbo.Resources.monthPublished + '/' + dbo.Resources.dayPublished + '/' + dbo.Resources.yearPublished as fullDate
but it doesn't like my slashes, and if I leave them out it simply adds the three fields together. Boo!
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
Whats wrong with the following T-SQL?
DECLARE @SQL NCHAR(4000)
SELECT @SQL = 'xxxx'
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' yyyy'
PRINT @SQL
I'm only seeing 'xxxx' in the debug window so it appears that its not adding the 2 strings?
Weird?!?
Hi,
I have a big problem, as I commented in other thread in this forum I Have a DataReader with an MDX query which right now runs out of memory, but I figured that if I made the query by range I could get what I need without running out of memory. However, to achieve that I need to concatenate at the end of a file with a Flat File destination, the result of every query, but I don't know how to do it, It always writes over the data.
Hi
I have a table similar to the following:
Date ID Name Job Number JobType
12/12/2007 123456 Fred Smith 111111 Full Day
12/12/2007 654321 Bob Blue 222222 Half Day AM
12/12/2007 654321 Bob Blue 333333 Half Day PM
I need the following output:
Date ID Name Job Number JobType
12/12/2007 123456 Fred Smith 111111 Full Day
12/12/2007 654321 Bob Blue 222222 Half Day AM
12/12/2007 654321 Bob Blue 333333 Half Day PM
Now before you say the output is the same . It isn't! There are only 2 records in the output. The italic lines are one record, with a carriage return linefeed between each piece of data. So for job number the field is equal to 111111 + CHAR(10) + CHAR(13) + 222222
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Hi All,
I have a very simple question which I can't seem to find an easy way of doing in SSIS. (Alternatively I may be having a "Can't see the wood for the trees" moment )
I have a folder where files are deposited on a regular basis . (Every few seconds)
I want to take those files and concatenate them into a single file in another directory ready for processing.
The equivelent command prompt line would be copy c: estfiles*.* c: estfilescatteddata.dat
How would I be best doing this in SSIS? Also I could do with working out the best way to quiesce the folder so I don't get any locked files errors.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is there any way of concatenating 2 fields and a seperator, an id (integer) then "|||" then a nvarchar field, it would make my life much easier if I could come up with SQL that works in ms access as well as sql server.. Thanks
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi all I need some help in concatenatng a string in T-SQL. Having used the Command Microsoft Access inside the 'SQL View' window and typed the following it worked perfectly.
Code Snippet
UPDATE tblValidUsers SET blocked_users = blocked_users + 'name_123@hotmail.com;' WHERE userid='Onam'
However attempting the same command in T-SQL I get the following error:
Msg 403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.
Reason for having this command is I want to be able to add something to the end of the field "blocked_users" without actually overwriting the fields contents.
So for instance if I had the items: "Item1, Item2, Item3" in blocked_users and I updated it with "Item4" then the value "Item4" would be added to the end thus the use of "+" is used to concatenate. Is there a way of doing this in T-SQL?
Thanks for the help, Onam
I have the below problem:

INSERT INTO @t
SELECT 1, 'Raven'

Returns the below:

Any names which are appearing twice I would like to have only one row so concatenate the IDs into one row for each Name, like below:
ID Name

Is this possible?
Hi everyone,
I'm writing a stored procedure where I need to concatenate two XML strings.
I would normally write XMLx = XMLy + XMLz
However because the variables are in XML SQL2005 doesn't like this and if I convert them to strings the XML structure gets lost.
Anyone any ideas ?
