I have the folliwing two fields, want tp concatenate:
=Fields!sequenceno.Value & =Fields!LogType.Value
Thank you very much for the information.
I have a table like this:
tbl_Projects
-------------------------
ProjID | Description
-------------------------
1 | First
2 | Second
3 | Third
I want to write a SELECT statement that will output in this format:
1 - First
2 - Second
etc...
I've tried these two statements:
SELECT (ProjID + ' - ' + Description) AS Projects
FROM tbl_Projects
//Error: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'First' to data type int.
and
SELECT CONCAT(ProjID, CONCAT(' - ', Description)) AS Projects
FROM tbl_Projects
//Error: The data types int and varchar are incompatible in the concat operator.
Is there any way to concatenate an int value with a varchar value?
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 RelatedI have a hierarchy of product categories and I want to string them together to show the complete path (breadcrumbs) to the item. Each category/subcat must be separated buy a comma. The catch is that not all items have the same number of cats/subcats. Here is what I am currently doing, but as you can see, this results in extra commas where the subcats are null.
Code:
create table #ItemCat(
itemNo int,
Cat varchar(50),
SubCat1 varchar(50),
SubCat2 varchar(50)
[Code] ....
Is there some way to concatenate these, separated by commas, but ignoring the NULL fields? For example, ItemNo 1 should show "Kitchen, Appliances"

I have a requirements DB. Before I came on board, the DB was seeded with requirements text and a requirements ID in separate columns. I've been asked to append the ID in front of the text:
Text - The user shall be able....
ID - 1.01.01.
Combined - 1.01.01.The user shall be able....
I've created the following query that displays the columns:
CREATE VIEW dbo.ReqID
AS
SELECT RQREQUIREMENTS.ID, RQREQUIREMENTS.REQUIREMENTNAME,
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.FIELDVALUE
FROM RQREQUIREMENTS LEFT OUTER JOIN
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES ON
RQREQUIREMENTS.ID =
RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.REQUIREMENTID
WHERE (RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.FIELDID = 171)
The Text field is REQUIREMENTNAME
The ReqId is FIELDVALUE
Should I create an UPDATE query based on this SELECT, updating the REQUIREMENTNAME column with FIELDVALUE + REQUIREMENTNAME?
Please advise - thanks!
Hello,I'm wondering if there is a way to concatenate two fields or a field and astring value in a single field in a view?Where in Access I might write;[field1] & " (m3)" as TotalVolumeis there a way to do this in an SQL Server View?Thanks!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Does anyone have code example on how to concatenate fields in a SQL Server stored procedure?
I would like to create a stored procedure to concat (off_name ' ' off_fname ' ' off_prior) to a field to bound to a combobox.

I am trying to add a carriage return to the end of a text field through a script. This is what I'm trying:
UPDATE Table_Name SET Column_TEXT = Column_TEXT) + '
' WHERE Column_TEXT = 'Some text'
I also tried
UPDATE Table_Name SET Column_TEXT = Column_TEXT) + '<cr>' WHERE Column_TEXT = 'Some text'
But I keep getting the error
The data types text and varchar are incompatible in the equal to operator.
Help!!

one of our marketing people downloads the DNC list from the FTC or one of the other F agencies. he then screens his cold calling list against it. he wants to put it into sql to make it faster.
it's a text file and imports 2 fields. The area code and the phone number. I want to import it as integers so i can put some logic to automatically screen his list against it. I can't concontanate two integers into a third column so I'm looking for some advice.
should i import them as strings originally, dump to a flat file and then import the full phone number as an integer? Or is there a better way?
I have a table with an integer field (contains test values like 2, 7,8,9,12,..) that I want to convert to an Identity field. How can this be done in t-sql?

I thought it's easy but somehow got lost, what is the good way to insert that Comma intelligently, depending if any of var value is NULL.

@var2, + iif(COALESCE (@var2,@var3,@var4) IS NULL,'',', '),
@var3, + iif(COALESCE( @var3,@var4) IS NULL,'',', '),

Hi all, I am creating a search table where the keywords field is madeup of several text fields and this is causing me some problems. I canconcatentate the text ok but i can't seem to concatenate matchingrecords here is the cursor loop. I'm not a fan of cursors but alsodidn't see another way of achieving this.declare @ptr1 varbinary(16)declare @Ptr2 varbinary(16)declare @profileid intdeclare @x intset @profileid = 0while @profileid is not nullbeginselect@profileid = min([id]),@ptr1 = MIN(textptr(text1))from #holdingwhere [id] @profileiddeclare c2 cursor fast_forward forselect textptr(searchterms), datalength(searchterms)from searchwhere search.[id] = @profileidopen c2fetch c2 into @ptr2, @xwhile @@fetch_status = 0beginupdatetext search.searchterms @ptr2 null 0 #holding.text1 @ptr1fetch c2 into @ptr2, @xendclose c2deallocate c2endThe #holding table contains the fields that i want to concatenate andthe search table is the resulting table. This example would loopthrough search and find id 1 in search and then append another fieldmatching id 1 in holding then move onto the next field in turn goingthrough the whole table.i.e.search holding result after each loopid text id text1 abc 1 def abcdef2 ghi 2 jkl ghijklWhen I run this, some of the records concatenate properly but most dontwith the same text being appended to the end of searchterms. i.e loadsof results will end up with jkl tagged onto the end. I can't figure outwhen my loop is falliing over!!! Can anyone help?Dan
View 4 Replies View RelatedYesterday we ran into a very surprising problem: a colleague had developed a view which calculated a numbero of domain functions on an integer field (sum, count, standard deviation, average).
We were amazed to find that the view always returned an integer value for the average (not for the std dev, though). This was obviously wrong. We even tried changing the function to Sum(fld)/Count(fld) where "fld" was the fieldname, but we still got this strange curious result.
I got around the problem using the CONVERT function to change the integer value into a floating (e.g. Avg(CONVERT(FLOAT(5),fld)), but this is so strange that I'm sure we'll have the same problem again and again.
Now, can anyone tell me why the SQL engine is so incredibly stupid to presume that the average of a series of integer values is necessarily an integer???
I have a SQL statement that fetches book information via a TITLE_ID which is fine if we only have one edition (hardback), but if there are two editions (hardback and paperback) it will return two rows like:
Title - Author - Edition
The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Hdbk
The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Pbk
Is there any way to concatenate the Edition field so the two lines become one? I have searched for ways to do this but have had no luck.
Someone please help!. I am trying to create a view in SQL Server 2000 to use for a report but I am having problems with concatenating multiple values into one field.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a Data Flow Transromation in SSIS to take multiple columns from an excel sheet and concatinate them into one filed.
Ex:
'Strt-Address', 'City', 'State' into 'HomeAddress'.
I could dump them into a temp table and concatinate the fields and insert that into the destination but that seems like a waiste of using SSIS.
Thanks
hi all,
i have an autonumber field (primary key) and another integer field as part of a table. What i want to do is when a record is created, the default value of the integer field should be the_autonumber+1000 for eg record with pk 82 will have an integer field that's automatically 1082. Would it be possible to do this ? Thanks in advance.
I have a datetime field for e.g 2015-09-15 00:00:00.000 and an integer field for e.g.100809.
The integer field is actually a time value as in hours,minutes,seconds. For e.g. the value
100809 means
10-hours
08-minutes
09-seconds
I need to combine the datetime and the int field to get the output as below
2015-09-15 10:08:09
If I have a field where 99.9% of the time the answer is going to be "No", would I be better, in terms of disk space, using:
A bit field
OR
A tiny int field, with a NULL for the 99.9% that are "NO", and a 1 for those that are "YES".
I'm using SQL Server 7.0.
My application developer has no preference.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am trying to write an SQL command to set the default value of an integer column I have within a table.
ALTER TABLE TableName alter column ColumnName int default 0
Any suggetions?
We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
Thanks.

I am facing problem with re numbering of field records in a table.I am having one table with below records.
sid(identity/primarykey) stickyId(Integer) UserId(integer)
102 0 171
103 1 171
104 2 171
105 3 171
here how to renumbering stickyId values when deleted particular stickyId from UI. Here stickyId field is Integer type only. not primarykey/identity field.
I know there has to be a way to do this, but I've gone brain dead. Thescenario..a varchar field in a table contains a date range (i.e. June 1,2004 - June 15, 2004 or September 1, 2004 - September 30, 2004 or...). Theusers have decided thats a bad way to do this (!) so they want to split thatfield into two new fields. Everything before the space/dash ( -) goes intoa 'FromDate' field, everything after the dash/space goes into the 'ToDate'field. I've played around with STRING commands, but haven't stumbled on ityet. Any help at all would be appreciated! DTS?
