How To Parse Out Data

Apr 25, 2008

This is the type of data I have within my table and I need to take it from this to the example below

Types First Name Last Name
--------- ---------------- ----------------
6L4XX,6L5XX,6L8XX,6L9XX Bob Smith
6L4XX,6L5XX,6L8XX,6L9XX Dave Johnson

Types First Name Last Name
--------- ---------------- ---------------

6L4XX Bob Smith
6L5XX Bob Smith
6L8XX Bob Smith
6L9XX Bob Smith

6L4XX Dave Johnson
6L5XX Dave Johnson
6L8XX Dave Johnson
6L9XX Dave Johnson

I have to do this for MANY rows but I don't want to use a cursor. Should I be using Dynamic SQL? If so how should I go about starting out.

Thank You

Parse Data And Then Compare

Aug 14, 2007

I am using MSSQL v8 (if that matters)

The data looks like the following
---------------------------
| PBP 20070420 2:26pm |
---------------------------

Now the data in this field is not uniform it can be blank, a sentence or have a different pre fix, instead of PBP, but the date will be YYYYMMDD when it is supplied.

I need to find all the dates that are within the last 10 months. How do I perform this task?

Parse Denormalized Data

Mar 30, 2008

I have just inherited a new project consisting of data imported into sql 2005 from a multi-dimensional database. After finding the correct ODBC and importing the data I believed that I was done, but after reviewing the resulting structure I discovered why this was called a ��multi-dimensional�? database. The resulting imported data is completely de-normalized and resembles an excel spreadsheet more than a relational database. An example of this structure is the persons table. The table has multiple columns, some of which contain the multi-dimensional fields. These fields contain multiple values which are separated with a tilde, ��~�?. I need to parse out the data and normalize it. In the specific sample of data below I attempting to take the personid, associates, and assocattrib and insert them into a sql table, associates. This table references the persons table where the personid and the associates references the personid in the persons table.

Code Snippet

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[persons](
[namepkey] [int] PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
[nameid] [varchar](6) NOT NULL,
[lastname] [varchar](41) NULL,
[firstname] [varchar](50) NULL,
[mname] [varchar](50) NULL,
[sex] [char](1) NULL,
[race] [varchar](55) NULL,
[dob] [varchar](10) NULL,
[address] [varchar](28) NULL,
[city] [varchar](32) NULL,
[state] [varchar](25) NULL,
[zip] [varchar](127) NULL,
[hphone] [varchar](10) NULL,
[busphone] [varchar](50) NULL,
[profession] [varchar](28) NULL,
[employer] [varchar](42) NULL,
[eyecolor] [varchar](23) NULL,
[build] [varchar](14) NULL,
[complexion] [varchar](26) NULL,
[haircolor] [varchar](26) NULL,
[dlnumber] [varchar](36) NULL,
[dlstate] [varchar](27) NULL,
[jacketnumber] [varchar](130) NULL,
[height] [varchar](4) NULL,
[weight] [varchar](50) NULL,
[ethnicity] [varchar](25) NULL,
)

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[associates](
[associd] [int] NOT NULL REFERENCES persons(personid),
[namepkey] [int] NOT NULL REFERENCES persons(personid),
[assocattribute] [varchar](20) NULL
)

The purpose of normalizing this data will be to show the realationship(s) between people as it has been documented in the previous data structure, i.e. person 1 is an associate of person 336 and the attribute is WIT.

My problem lies in attempting to parse out the associates and assocattrib columns and relate them to the appropriate personid. The personid relates to each associate and assocattrib and the tilde, ~, separates the values ordinal position which, in sql, would be separate rows. For example the single row:
personid associates assocattrib
58201 252427~252427~252427 VICT/SUSP~WIT~RP
Should be:
58201 252427 VICT/SUSP
58201 252427 WIT
58201 252427 RP

The imported data can have no associates:
personid associates assocattrib
152683 NULL NULL

or up to 69 associates, I am not even going to try to paste all of that here.

There are over 400,000 rows that I am looking at parsing, so any way of doing this in t-sql or the clr would be GREAT. This data is stored in SQL 2005 standard SP2. The specific machine is our test/reporting server, so I am not necessarily concerned with the best performing solution, I am leaning more towards providing some free time for me.

Any help or suggestions, including better ideas on the table structure, would be greatly appreciated.

SQL 2012 :: Parse Data Separated Through Text

Nov 10, 2014

I am trying to parse data separated through text (ie abc1, abc2, abc3, abc4, etc).

ID ParseData
1 [abc1.Pants/abc2.Orange hat /abc3.Purple shirt /abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]
2 [abc1.Gray Shoes/abc2.Striped jacket /abc3./abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]
3 [abc1.Blue jeans/abc2./abc3./abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]

New Data (abc1, abc2, abc3, etc each have a field in the new data set)
ID ParseData abc1 abc2 abc3 abc4 abc5 abc6 abc7 abc8
1 [abc1.Pants...abc8.] Pants Orange hat Purple shirt
2 [abc1.Gray...abc8.] Gray Shoes Striped jacket
3 [abc1.Blue...abc8.] Blue Jeans

If I only want the data in between abc1 and abc2, between abc2 and abc3, etc, what would be the best way to do that?

My code so far looks like:
DECLARE
@string varchar(100) = '[abc1.Pants/abc2.Orange hat /abc3.Purple shirt /abc4./abc5./abc6./abc7./abc8.]',
@searchString1 varchar(20) = 'abc1',
@searchString2 varchar(20) = 'abc2';

SELECT newstring
FROM dbo.SubstringBetween(@string,@searchString1,@searchString2);

This returns 'Pants.'How do I continue to parse between abc2 and abc3? between abc3 and abc4?And then continue to ID2?Should I be referencing the ParseData field instead of string of data that I want to parse?

Parse Array Data Type To Rows

Jun 7, 2007

Hi,

We're importing data from a progress db. Some of the columns contain arrays or delimited values which represent accounting periods.

Currently I'm passing the arrays row by row to a stored procedure which parses and inserts each value as a row for the applicable accounting period, it works but is very slow.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Emilio

How Do I Parse Data Stored In Ntext Field

Apr 9, 2008

I have a third party application with a ntext field that I need to parse the data out of. The data looks like this:
<xmlF><FNumber type="int">2421</FNumber><AttachmentPath type="string" /><RequesterId type="int">232</RequesterId><Requester type="string">John Smith</Requester><RequestDate type="DateTime">3/24/2008 11:23:27 AM</RequestDate</xmlF>
The fieldname is Data and the tablename is ProcessData
Again, this looks like xml, but the field type is ntext. I would like to create a view displaying the parsed data in fields. How would I go about parsing the data?
Thanks.

Parse XML Attributes And Populate Columns Within DB With Stripped Data

Nov 16, 2011

I'm trying to write a stored procedure that will parse XML attributes and populate columns within a DB with the stripped data. I'm a complete novice who prior to this week knew nothing about SQL commands, My understanding at least is that I need to perform a bulk insert.

Example XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE Asset_Collection SYSTEM "Asset_Collection.dtd">
<Asset_Collection>
<Collection_Metadata
Name="Asset Collection"
Description="Random XML Feed Test"

[Code] ....

Table/Columns which need to be inserting into:
Table:
TABLE_A

Columns:
ProdID
CustomerID
AreaCode

Parse Delimited Data In Column To Multiple Columns

Jun 13, 2008

I'm working on a sales commission report that will show commissions for up to 5 sales reps for each invoice. The invoice detail table contains separate columns for the commission rates payable to each rep, but for some reason the sale srep IDs are combined into one column. The salesrep column may contain null, a single sales rep id, or up to five slaes rep IDs separated by the '~' character.

So I'd like to parse the rep IDs from a single column (salesreplist) in my invoice detail table (below) to multiple columns (RepID1, RepID2, RepID3, RepID4,RepID5) in a temp table so I can more easily calculate the commission amounts for each invoice and sales rep.

Here is my table:

CREATE TABLE invcdtl(
invoicenum int,
salesreplist [text] NULL,
reprate1 int NULL,
reprate2 int NULL,
reprate3 int NULL,
reprate4 int NULL,
reprate5 int NULL,
)

Here is some sample data:

1 A 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 0 0 0
3 I~~~~ 15 0 0 0 0
4 A~B 5 5 0 0 0
5 I~F~T~K~G 5 5 2 2 2
6 A~B

As you can see, some records have trailing delimiters but some don't. This may be a result of the application's behavior when multiple reps are entered then removed from an invoice. One thing for sure is that when there are multiple reps, the IDs are always separated by '~'

Can anyone suggest a solution?

SQL Server 2008 :: Using Left And Charindex To Parse String / Getting Rid Of Rest Of Data

Jun 16, 2015

I am trying to erase some erroneous bad data in my table. The description column has a lot of </div>oqwiroiweuru</a> weird data attached to it, i want to keep the data to the left of where the </div> erroneous data begins

update MyTable
set Description = LEFT(Description(CHARINDEX('<',Description)-1)) where myid = 1

that totally works.

update MyTable
set Description = LEFT(Description(CHARINDEX('<',Description)-1)) where myid >= 2

gives me a Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function. The statement has been terminated error.

Transact SQL :: Parse Unknown Number Of Data Elements To Multiple Lines

Jun 11, 2015

We are using a table that may give 1 to and unknown number of data elements (ie. years) . How can we break this to show only three years in each row. Since we don't know the number years we really won't know the number of rows needed. Years are stored in their own table by line.

car make year1 year2 year3
A volare 1995 1996 1997
a volare 1997 1998 1999
b toyat 1965 1966 1968

We can pivot out the first X# but we don't know how many lines so we don't know how many rows we will be creating.

Transact SQL :: Select And Parse Json Data From 2 Columns Into Multiple Columns In A Table?

Apr 29, 2015

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) 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, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.

Parse A Field

Jun 4, 2007

Hi All!

I have a table, tblstudents that has the fields strfirstname and strlastname. The table was imported from MS Acess where they were storing the first name and the lastname in the same field. Sucks doesn't it? Anyway, I need to write a script to extract the first name from the lastname and insert it into the first name field which is blank. So far I figure I can use select into, but need to find a way to tell sql server to take the fart of the field after the comma (the first name) and to delete the comma becuase I won't need it anymore.

Help!

Select '%,' into tblclients as strfirstname from tblclients

I know this won't work, but I want to show you all I'm at least trying!

Parse @@VERSION

Jun 7, 2007

This script parses the @@VERSION global variable into individual columns.

I developed it because I wanted to be able gather standard info on all versions.

I know there are functions for a lot of this, but only starting with SQL 2000.

It seems to work with all versions of SQL Server from 7.0 through 2005.

I haven't tested with 6.5 and before or 2008, because I don't have either available.

Please report any problems you see.

Parse Fields

DTS Parse Query Error...

Jun 7, 2002

I create a Execute SQL Task and Load a stored procedure into the "SQL Statement" box. This stored procedure has many 'go' words and many commented lines either with '--' mark or '/*' or '*/' mark.

When Parse Query, get Package Error "Deferred prepare could not be completed. Statements could not be prepared".
But I could run the same proc under the isql/w with no problem.
How could I deal with this error? Though it looks the execution of the package still run successful. The Parsing just create uncertainty.

thanks

SQL 2000 DTS. Parse Query Bug?

Feb 11, 2008

I am getting a pain in the butt error in DTS.

If I use and Execute SQL Task like this ...
------------------------------------
DECLARE @VAR
SET @VAR = ?

EXEC sp_Test @VAR
------------------------------------
and then click parse query I get an error "Syntax error or Access violation"

However; if I use it this way
------------------------------------
EXEC sp_Test ?
------------------------------------
it works.

Now here is the odd thing. If I put in a DECLARE statement and a global parameter "?" I get the syntax error.

But .... If I use a disconnected edit and use DECLARE and "?" then task will run properly. So the problem seems to be with the query parser.

The problem is I don't have the time to edit everything in a disconnected manner. Is there a way or update that will allow me to use DECLARE and "?". I have tried many hotfixes but none have worked.

Parse Flat File

Mar 31, 2008

This package will do very simple thing. It will parse the file and load it into table.

The format the file will be with fixed position:

From position 1 to 18, I need trim all the ending space and map it to a field of base table.

1. This is what I have done in the sql 2000 DTS package. How do I do the twist of data mapping on the SSIS?

I was using Active-x script in the 2000 DTS package.

EmployeeNumber = Trim(DTSSource(1))
EmployeeNumber = Left(EmployeeNumber, Len(EmployeeNumber) - 1)

2. At the Contrl Flow tab, I only have "Data Flow Task". I don't see the place I can do expression.

Thanks.
