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.
How do i concatenate 24 columns with semicolon delimited into a single column without getting data conversion error ....
View 2 Replies View RelatedI concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table
CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1](
[BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL,
[PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?

I have a table with 10 rows with a varbinary column
I wish to concatenate all the binary column into a single binary column and then write that to another table within the database. This application splits a binary file (Word or PDF document) into multiple segments (this is Column2 as below)
example as follows
TableA
Column1 Column2 Column3
aaa 001 <some binary value>
aaa 002 <some binary value>
aaa 003 <some binary value>
aaa 004 <some binary value>
aaa 005 <some binary value>
desired results in TableB
Column1 Column2
aaa <concatenated value of above binary columns>
Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

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 below.
certid name
1 xxx
1 yyy
1 cvb
now I want to output as xxx,yyy,cvb when i pass input certid=1
I want to get it using a single query statement
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:
DECLARE @t TABLE
(
ID int,
Name nvarchar(255)
)
INSERT INTO @t
SELECT 1, 'Raven'
[Code] ....
Returns the below:
ID Name
1 Raven
4 Raven
43 Jack
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
1, 4 Raven
43 Jack
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 ?
Thanks

Hey Folks,
I have a View that I'm using to power a Crystal Report. I want to include an extra column that will be a string containing all the values from a single column of another table, seperated by comma.
So for example:
Project | Staff
----------------------
TestProject1 | "Jonathan, Greg, Joe"
Is this possible? Where do I do it? From the SQL Server end or in the report?
