Inserting Into ONE Column A Comma Delimted String??
Dec 1, 1999
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

have a field in a table that has combined lastname,firstname and middle name like
combs,albert mike
woods-athere,jane alice
The last and first name are separated by a comma, and the middle name by a space
I need in tsql to split them to last name,first name and middle name
I used below
select substring (longname, 1, patindex( '%,%' , longname) -1 ) 'firstname',
substring (longname, patindex( '%,%', longname) + 1, len(longname)) 'lastname',
substring (longname, patindex( '% %', longname) + 1, len(longname)) 'middlename'
FROM Demographic_staging
I get the names all split, but I get the middle name with the first name. How can I limit the first name to recoginze the comma, but stop at the space

I am a new user to SQL an I need to create a data base record from a comma delimted file (.CVS). The CVS file has up to ten fields all alpha/numeric. I must create this data base file using a stored procedure! The data base records will be displayed on a grid screen but this grid view will not be used to update the original CVS file.

Hi all.
This is my first SSIS project it's also an utter mare.
I'm a C# developer with reasonable SQL knowledge but I haven't used SSIS projects in BIS before.
What we have (for some insane reason) is an SQL table like so:
Column A |Column B |Column X |
Where Column X contains XML like this:
<Column C></Column C><Column D></Column D><Column ArrgWTF></Column ArrgWTF>
Where <Column ArrgWTF> contains two '-' delimited values.
What I need is some guidence (or just being told if its possible or not) to take this data and arange it like so (see bellow) in a new SQL table:
Column A |Column B |Column C | Column D |Column ArrgWTF1 |Column ArrgWTF2 |
Where A&D are from the original SQL table, C & D are pulled from the XML and ArrgWTF1 & 2 are sourced from the '-' delimited vales within the XML.
Many, many, thanks in advance.

I have a table with a string value, where all values are seperated by a space/blank. I now want to use SQL to split all the values and insert them into a different table, which then later will result in deleting the old table, as soon as I got all values out from it.
Old Table:
Code:
ID, StringValue
New Table:
Code:
ID, Value1, Value2
Do note: Value1 is INT, Value2 is of nvarchar, hence Value2 can contain spaces... I just need to split on the FIRST space, then convert index[0] to int, and store index[1] as it is.
I can split on all spaces and just Select them all and add them like so: SELECT t.val1 + ' ' + t.val2... If I cant find the first space that is... I mean, first 2-10 characters in the string can be integer, but does not have to be.Shall probably do it in code instead of SQL?Now I want to run a query that selects the StringValue from OldTable, splits the string by ' ' (a blank) and then inserts them into New Table.
Code:
SELECT CASE CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1)
WHEN 0 THEN OldTable.stringvalue
ELSE SUBSTRING(OldTable.stringvalue, 1, CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) - 1)
END
AS FirstWord
FROM OldTable
Found an example using strange things like CHARINDEX..But issue still remains, because the first word is of integer, or it does not have to be...If it isn't, there is not "first value", and the whole string shall be passed into "value2".How to detect if the very first character is of integer type?
Code:
@declare firstDigit int
IF ISNUMERIC(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) = 1
set @firstDigit = CAST(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int)
ELSE
set @firstDigit = -1
[code]....

I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
Example:
DECLARE @StrInput NVARCHAR(2000) = '.NET,Java, Python'
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE titleName = '.NET' AND titleName='java' AND titleName = 'Python'
As shown in the example above I need to take the comma delimited string as input and search each individual string like in the select statement.

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 ?

We have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.

I am trying to build a dynamic where statement for my sql stored prcoedure
if len(@Office) > 0 select @strWhereClause = N'cvEh.chOfficeId in (select id from dbo.csfParseDeLimitedText( ' + @vchOffice + ',' + ''',''' + '))' + ' and ' + @strWhereClause
In this case users can enter comma delimited string in their search criteria. So if they enter we1, we2, we3 then my sql statement should look like
select @strWhereClause = cvEh.chOfficeId in (select id from dbo.csfParseDeLimitedText('we1', 'we2', 'we3'),',')
My csfParseDeLimitedText function looks like this
Create FUNCTION [dbo].[csfParseDeLimitedText] (@p_text varchar(4000), @p_Delimeter char(1))RETURNS @results TABLE (id varchar(100))ASBEGIN declare @i1 varchar(200)declare @i2 varchar(200)declare @tempResults Table (id varchar(100))while len(@p_text) > 0 and charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) <> 0beginselect @i1 = left(@p_text, charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) - 1)insert @tempResults select @i1select @p_text = right(@p_text, len(@p_text) - charindex(@p_Delimeter,@p_text))endinsert @tempResults select @p_text
insert @resultsselect *from @tempResultsreturnEND
My problem is it does not put quotes around the comma delimited stringso I want to put 'we1' , 'we2'. These single quotes are not coming in the dynamic sql statement. How can I modify my query so that single quotes around each entry should show up.
Any help will be greatky appreciated.

I have a table called evidence, which has the following Fields
| evidence_id | Description| Standards|
E001 blagh 1.1,1.2,1.3
Ok I am trying to search the comma-separated string in the standards field using the like clause so I can display the evidence_id.
SQL looks like
SELECT Evidence.Standards, *
FROM Evidence
WHERE (((Evidence.Standards) Like '%1.1%'));
However it will not search through the list and select for example if I change 1.1 to 1.2. The commas wont allow it.
It works if I just have one item in the list that is just 1.1. Can anyone help me to search a comma-separated string for a certain string?
Thanks

Hello
I have a table with column Options where each field contains a comma delimited list of ID numbers.
I want to select any records where a certain ID number appears in that list.
So something like:
SELECT * FROM Table t1
WHERE MyID IN (SELECT Options FROM Table t2 WHERE t1.ID = t2.ID)
But that gives me the error:
Syntax error converting the varchar value '39,20' to a column of data type int.
I feel I'm close though! Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks

I want to bring a string parameter to where clause like this:
select .. from ...
Where Code IN (@Code)
When @Code is 'ABC' it works but when @code is 'ABC, XYZ' it won't work. I know for IN statement we should use IN ('ABC', 'XYZ') and I tried make @code = '''ABC'', ''XYZ''' still not working. I tried
Print '''ABC'', ''XYZ'''
I got 'ABC', 'XYZ' but why it does not work in @Code?

I have a string like say: '3:4:5:4,2:4:1,4:1:2:5:2'. Now I need to split the substrings delimited by commas. So my final output shall be
3:4:5:4
2:4:1
4:1:2:5:2
I did write a piece of code to achieve the same, but I feel its not so efficient. Can anyone suggest me a better way, if any? My code is as follows:
Declare @person as varchar(255), @cnt smallint,@loc smallint,@prevloc smallint, @str varchar(255)
Select @prevloc=0,@loc=1,@cnt=1,@person = '3:4:5:4,2:4:1,4:1:2:5:2'
While @loc != 0
begin
set @prevloc=(case when @loc = 1 then 0 else @loc end) +1
set @loc = charindex(',',@person,@loc+1)
Set @str = substring(@person,@prevloc,(Case when @loc = 0 then len(@person) - @prevloc + 1 else @loc - @prevloc end))
print 'String = ' + @Str
set @cnt=@cnt+1
end
RESULT
------
String = 3:4:5:4
String = 2:4:1
String = 4:1:2:5:2
Note: My actual purpose is to also sub split it again with ':' delimiter too. So looking for an efficient code.

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to pass in a comma separated string
"12,14,16,18" and use it in a stored procedure with "IN" like this:
@SubRegions varchar(255) <-- my comma separated string
SELECT *
FROM myTable
WHERE tbl_myTable.SubRegionID IN (@SubRegions)
It tells me it has trouble converting "'12,14,16,18'" to an INT. :(

I have a parameter called Id in my SP which will be of nvarchar data type and i'm going to get the multiple ids at a time seperated by commas in that parameter from the application. Now my requirement is to update a table with these comma seperated ids in seperate rows.
For example, if i have 2 parameters called Id1 and Id2. Id1 will contain only one value and will be of int data type and Id2 will be of nvarchar data type as i can get multiple ids delimited by a comma from the application.
Suppose Id1 = 1 and Id2 = '1,2,3,4'. Then I have to update id2 in the tables seperately like wherever Id1 is '1' i need to update Id2 column for 4 rows with the value 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively in different rows.
how can i do this in T-SQL? How can i split the data of parameter Id2 in 4 different rows?

I have following 2 queries which return different results.
declare @accountIdListTemp varchar(max)
SELECT COALESCE(@accountIdListTemp + ',','') + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),acct_id)
FROM (SELECT Distinct acct_id
FROM SomeTable) Result
print @accountIdListTemp
The above query return the values without concatenating it.
declare @pot_commaSeperatedList varchar(max)
SELECT DISTINCT acct_id
into #accountIdListTemp
FROM SomeTable
SELECT @pot_commaSeperatedList = COALESCE(@pot_commaSeperatedList + ',','') + CONVERT(VARCHAR(100),acct_id)
FROM #accountIdListTemp
print @pot_commaSeperatedList
drop table #accountIdListTemp
This query returns result as concatenated string of comma separated values.
If i want to get similar result in a single query how can i get it?

I need to normalise comma separated strings of tags (SQL Server 2008 R2).
E.g. (1, 'abc, DEF, xyzrpt') should become
(1, 'abc')
(1, 'DEF')
(1, 'xyzrpt')
I have written a procedure in T-SQL that can handle this. But it is slow and it would be better if the solution was available as a view, even a slow view would be better.
Most solutions I found go the way round: from (1, 'abc'), (1, 'DEF') and (1, 'xyzrpt'), generate (1, 'abc, DEF, xyzrpt').
If memory serves, it used "FOR XML PATH". But it's been a while and I may be totally wrong.

Our front end saves all IP addresses used by a customer as a comma separated string, we need to analyse these to check for blocked IPs which are all stored in another table.
A LIKE statement comparing each string with the 100 or so excluded IPs will be very expensive so I'm thinking it would be less so to split out the comma separated values into tables.
The problem we have is that we never know how many IPs could be stored against a customer, so I'm guessing a function would be the way forward but this is the point I get stuck.
I can remove the 1st IP address into a new column and produce the new list ready for the next removal, also as part of this we would need to create new columns on the fly depending on how many IPs are in the column.
This needs to be repeated for each row
SELECT IP_List
, LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) - 1) AS IP_1
, REPLACE(IP_List, LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) +0), '') AS NewIPList1
FROM IpExclusionTest
Results:
IP_List
109.224.216.4,146.90.13.69,146.90.85.79,46.208.122.50,80.189.100.119
IP_1
109.224.216.4
NewIPList1
146.90.13.69,146.90.85.79,46.208.122.50,80.189.100.119

Hello,
I have a number of multi-select parameters which I would like to send to a stored procedure within the dataset for use in the stored procedure's IN() statement which in turn is used to filter on or out particular rowsets.
I considered using a hidden string parameter set = " ' " + join(parameter.value, ',') + " ' " so that the hidden parameter would then contain a comma delimiated string of the values selected, which would then be sent on to the stored proc and used in the WHERE clause of one of the queries internal to the stored proc.
But before I start dedicating time to do this I wanted to inquire if anyone here with far more expertise could think of a faster or less system heavy method of creating a single string of comma delimited parameter selections?
Thanks.
