Hi all !
I want to insert things to SQL-server from an ascii file but I also want to add logics with IF - Then _ Else statements. I guess the only way is to make a
stored Procedure.
How do you do when you want to read from a text file using the data into variables and then write it into the database ?
Is there a way to return a comma seperated list in a query?For example if I have this simple querySelect member_name From members It returns all the members in diff rows (lets assume we have 3)So the result will bemember_name--------------name1name2name3Instead of this I need to have the result in one row with values seperated by commas.member_name---------------name1,name2,name3I hope I am clear enough. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way? I have a field of comma seperated article type id values in a users profile. This list is a set of values that sows the article types the person does NOT want to see. Each article has an article type id. I need to do a select joining the article table to the member table that only shows those article id's that are not in the comma seperated list. How would I do that in a sql statement?
View 3 Replies View RelatedNot sure the best way to do this. They are passing in a comma seperated string. I have a field that has comma seperated strings in it. I need to compare the 2 strings and do a select on that field that has any of the words in the string passed in. So if the pass...
"car,boat,van"
and in the field 2 of the 3 records get sent back
car,train,bike
boat,truck,plane
bike,plane,train
I would send them back the top 2 because the top one contains car and the second contains boat
Hi I have a text field called testing which shows the selection the user has made from a checked list. I want to save the contents of testing to a datadase with coloum varchar and with a comma to seperate the selections. It stores ok but sql queries do not recognise them as comma seperated values. e.g the selection from the vb code produses: Beauty, Fashion, Travel. Sql takes the lot as one. When I test a query say select from table type where Category = beauy it gives nothing. How do I store it so sql would recognise it as seperate enteries.
my vb code is below
Dim msg As StringDim li As ListItem
msg = ""For Each li In CaregoryCheckBoxList.Items
If li.Selected = True Then
'asp has a security default of no accetping html in input fields br is html code so causes error
'msg = msg & "<br>" & li.Text & " selected."
msg = msg & li.Text & "," & " "
End If
Next
Testing.Text = msg

I want to pull out some information for documenting my user accounts.I want to be able to show all of the users and what companies those users have access to.
The table which stores the company information lists it in multiple rows, so there will be many results for each user
user -- companyid
johnd -- 2
johnd -- 5
johnd -- 1
I want to select this into one record so it will show up like this
user -- companies
johnd -- 2,5,1
The only way I know how to do this would be with a sub-query that uses a cursor to loop through & dump it into one string value, and then output the string value to the field. This seems extremely inefficient for such a seemingly simple task.
Can somebody help me out here?
thanks
Hello,
My SQL knowledge is limited so if I get stuff wrong then correct me... but I can imagine this task will be quite testing...
I am working on a system that logs ([Audit] table) the changes to fields on some tables using a Trigger on UPDATE. I need to produce a 'quick' report that returns the date when the tables overallStatus field was set to 1.
In the [Audit] table I can find all the field changes for the record in question using this SQL...
select *
from audit
where rowid = 1309606
order by auditID asc
My problem is filtering this data. The fields I need are formatted as below, see records returned, in ASC order...
audit.AuditID = 2652583
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-24 15:12:07.740
audit.ColumnDetail = 'estimatedProductionPriceactualProductionCost'
audit.EditDetail = '0.00000.0000'
audit.AuditID = 2658460
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-25 10:51:47.930
audit.ColumnDetail = 'overallStatusInsertionStatus'
audit.EditDetail = '05'
audit.AuditID = 2665723
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-25 22:06:50.200
audit.ColumnDetail = 'overallStatusdespatchDateInsertionStatus'
audit.EditDetail = '1Â 3'
audit.AuditID = 2711092
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-30 17:22:12.593
audit.ColumnDetail = 'overallStatusInsertionStatus'
audit.EditDetail = '34'
audit.AuditID = 2713217
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-30 20:46:34.817
audit.ColumnDetail = 'clientOrderNumber'
audit.EditDetail = 'PAT12P7640'
The funny character, , is ASCII 127.
So need to find when 1309606's overallStatus was changed to 1. Manually looking at the data, I can see overallStatus was modified in 3 of the above 5 [Audit] records. It started life as 0, then went to 1 and then to 3. I'm aware that I need to look at the previous Audits date for when it was changed to the value I'm looking for... So it was changed to 1 on 2008-04-25 10:51:47.930.
What is the best way to approach this problem? I'm hoping to use T-SQL only and not have to use an external scripting language, unless I can embed vbscript or jscript inside a T-SQL function and then use arrays, etc?
Somehow I need to convert the ASCII(127) seperated list of fieldname into an array or list, find the index of the fieldname 'overallStatus' and then lookup that value in the datafield.
Hope that makes sense and any help would be great!
Cheers,
Nick
Hi All
I'm really new to SQL and would appreciate a solution to the following problem.
I have a table that contains 1 record. in that record there is a column called CODES which contains multiple values that are seperated by a comma.
C200,C201,C202,C204,C200,C203,C200,C202,C203,C205,C200,C202,C203,C204,C205,C206,C200,C201,C202
I need a solution to select all values from CODES that are distinct so I end up with the following.
C200,C201,C202,C203,C204,C205,C206
Any help would be really appreciated. Please bear in mind I'm a complet novice.
Scenario:Table 1 (a id, b name)Table 2 (a FKid, d value)A standard join on a gives me something like:a1 b1 d1a1 b1 d2What I want is:a1 b1 d1,d2I can easily do this with a function or cursor, but is is somewhatslow, and I need to do this a lot and I don't really want to have tomaintain tons of functions or cursors.Thoughts?

and there are many other fields too. The output I need is something like this
WorsktationNo OccupiedBy

In the similar fashion I would also require to retrieve the values based on the UserID something like this

a3 103
Could someone tell me how to write the query for this.

Hi all sql gurus,
I have a table that has product name and submissionID and some other columns. I am really concerned about these two columns. My task is to get all the submissionIDs for a particular product name and display SubmissionIDs seperated by commas against each product name .
The tables below might give a better idea
current scenario:
Product Name SubmissionID columnC Column D
AAA 123
AAA 456
BBB 111
ccc 121
AAA 789
Expected result:
Product Name SubmissionID columnC Column D

BBB 111
CCC 121
Any suggestions/pointers would be highly appreciated.
I am currently working on an application that requires, insertion of the results of a SQL Query in to the field of another table, in the form of a comma separated values.
For example, to explain things in detail:
create table dbo.phone_details

state varchar(30),
list_of_toll_free_numbers text)
insert into dbo,phone_details
values
( 'USA', 'CA', 'select Phone from phone_table where substring(phone, 1, 3) in ('800', '866', '877', '888')' )
The final output I desire is:
country state list_of_toll_free_numbers
---------- ------- -----------------------------------------
USA CA 8009877654, 8665764398, 8776543219
Hi everyone,
I need to save the ascii data in my sql express 2005 database in one table and in 2 coloums in this table using VB express...
Can I do it by datareader or with bulk insert t-sql command?
I tried it this way but it gives error like "connection property is not initialised" it is on executenonquery row in the code...
Dim cmd = New SqlCommand("BULK INSERT RFID.dbo.stock(material_number,total) FROM 'C:can1.txt' " & _
"WITH FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '' ")
connection.Open()
cmd.executenonquery()
connection.Close()
I hope some can help with this problem....
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like:
List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
Using Flat File Connection Manager, I am specifying Text Qualifier = Double quotes{"}, and i have TXT file with one column for lastname and first name as "LN,FN", and settings are set to comma delimted, now the connectin manager is creating two different columns for LN and FN,
it was never a problem in DTS 2000.
any work around.
Thanks,
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.)
I have a string of comma delimited values such as the following:
1,2,3,4,5
I have a table with ONE column only. How can I do an insert statement which will insert each of these values?
If I type the following:
"INSERT INTO tabletest SELECT 1,2,3,4,5"
I get this error:
"Insert error: column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition. "
This makes sense because I do not have 5 columns I only have 1. But how can I get around this?
Any help is most appreciated! Thanks in advance...mary

Hello,
SQL SERVER 2000:
My problem is that I have to process a special text file every day which contains 0 ASCII values to separate fields. The DTS import program drops everything after the ascii 0 value in the row, but of course I need the entire row with all fields.
So how can I prevent the text file import task from dropping everything after the 0 ascii value?
Could you help me in this?

I need to know how to create a AScii 7 bit flat file using Integration services. I do have basic charecters in the flat files - only other charecters required are a pipe (|), which is used as delimeter and additionally it will have line feed (LF) which is used as row delimeter.
Please let me know if this is possible.

Hi,
I have a problem with BULK INSERT. I created the following table:
Code Snippetcreate table Test
(id char(4), name nvarchar(16), last char(1))
I am trying to bulk insert data from ASCII (not unicode) file with only two rows:
0011First name
0018Second name
Since it is a fixed length file, I am using the following format file:
Code Snippet
8.0
3
1 SQLCHAR 0 4 "" 1 ID HEBREW_CI_AS
2 SQLCHAR 0 16 "" 2 NAME HEBREW_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 0 "
" 3 Last HEBREW_CI_AS
With bcp utility everything works just fine!
Code Snippet
bcp Demo.dbo.test in c: est -T -f c: est.fmt
But when I use BULK INSERT in the following form:
Code Snippet
BULK INSERT Test FROM 'c:Test'
WITH
(
FORMATFILE='c:Test.fmt',
CODEPAGE='OEM'
);
I am getting error
Server: Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk insert data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 2 (name).
Now, one interesting thing: if I change the name field from nvarchar to varchar, it is working with BULK INSERT as well.
Can anybody explain what is going on here?

Hi All,
I am using MS SQL 2005 and using Integration Services I have created FTP task to create a txt file with the required information on to a FTP location. But I need the encoding of the file to be set to AScii 7 bit mode rather than unicode or Ansi-Latin I - which are 16 bit. I tried creating the file first in unicode first & then converting it Ascii, but this made me to loose some data from the generated file. Looks like this doesnt work out and my attempts generating AScii 7 bit flat file is failing. I need solution to URGENTLY otherwise I will have think of some alternative other than Integration services. Egarly waiting for any responses!!
