Split A Column String-value Into Multiple Columns / Inserting In Another Table
Aug 14, 2012I 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]....

Inserting Columns To A Table At A Particular Position
Jun 26, 2001Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to add a column to a table at a particular position. The ALTER TABLE statement specifies that an ADD COLUMN puts this on the end of the table. Is there a way to insert into the middle of the table?
Alternatively, can it be done through SQL-DMO?
Obviously the fallback would be to drop and re-create the table with the correct column ordering, however this is not ideal for tables with large amounts of data.
It's possible to do this through Enterprise Manager (using Insert Column), so how does it do it - DMO, or by dropping and re-creating?
We're building a database schema upgrage tool and are trying to cover all possibilities.
Thanks,
Steve Jenkins.
Bulk Inserting Into Table With Computed Columns

View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2012 :: Inserting New Columns Based On Condition
Feb 25, 2014I have a very simple query like the following…
SELECT table2.column_code2,
table2.column_description2,
table2.column_code1,
table1.column_description1
FROM database_001.table2 table1 LFET OUTER JOIN database_001.table2 table1 on (table2.column_code1 = table1.column_code1)
From this query, its returning me a result set of something like below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
column_code1 column_description1 column_code2 column_description2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RO1 BOOK RL1 PDF/ECOPY
RO2 PAPER RL2 CONFERENCE
RO5 JOURNAL RL11 OTHER
Now, on the above query I want to insert three extra columns with the name (status, location and contact) where the results in the extra three columns would be based on the conditions I want to define in the query based on the above results…
Something for example (I am not trying to write a condition: my question is how to write it),
if column_code1 = RO1 and column_description2 = PDF/ECOPY on status column it should return a value ‘ONLINE’ & on location column it should return ‘WEB’ and on contact column it should write ‘BOB’.
Also, if column_code1 = RO5 and column_description1 = JOURNAL on status column it should return a value ‘ON PRESS FOR PRINT’ & on location column it should return ‘S.R STREET, LONDON’ and on contact column it should write ‘SMITH’ like below result…so the final output should be the top four columns and the extra three columns…
See the attachment for better formatting...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
status location contact
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ONLINE WEB BOB
ON PRESS FOR PRINT S.R STREET, LONDON SMITH
Inserting Empty Values Into NOT NULL Columns Via ODBC
Jul 20, 2005We are writing a C application that is using ODBC to insert recordsinto a database. We have a NOT NULL column that can legitimately havean empty value, i.e. we know the value and it is empty (i.e. a zerolength string).We are using SQLBindParameter() to bind a variable to theparameterized insert statement <<in the form: INSERT INTO table VALUES(?, ?, ?)>>. We are using SQLExecDirect() to process the SQL.We are running into the problem where ODBC is converts the empty (zerolength) string into a NULL value and this errors due to the fact thatthe column is defined as NOT NULL.We do not want to redefine the column as NULL, becasue myunderstanding of the correct usage of a NULL column is to indicatethat a value is unknown or meaningless... in our case we know thevalue (it is empty) and an empty value has meaning within ourapplication.I'm sure that this issue has been seen and address thousands(millions?) of times... any guidance would be appreciated.

10/15/15 5,213.00
11/15/15 5,210.00'
this same type of many rows are there (i just mentioned one) but having same pattern with tabs as delimiter in between dates and amount.
I need something that shows Date on one side representing particular amount on the other
For Immediate Due it will be current date and the amount besides it.
how can I achieve this.
How Can I Set Constant Padding Between The Columns Of The Column Chart(stacked Column Sub-type)?
Aug 2, 2006Hi All,
I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.
Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).
Thanks a lot in advance!

insert into temptable select name, email, date from usertable where condition = xyz.
I tried auto increment column with seed 1, increment 1. But if I delete and insert again it does not start from 1. Is there any way to accompolish this? It will make the front-end code very simple.

Inserting A Value With Spaces Into A Column
Jun 17, 2008Hello,
I am fairly new to SQL I have started to administer a system which handles carrier information for a mail order system. The logic behind the system is quite simple there are 5 or so columns in a table the first column is the first part of the postcode i.e EX15, the other columns contain which delivery services and depot numbers are associated with that postcode. It works fine at the moment.
However now the main carrier has decided that they are now going to split these postcodes so for example EX15 1* goes to a different depot than EX15 2*
I cant seem to insert EX15 1 into the first column, I get the following error:
Attempt to store duplicate value in unique column. (-155)
Is this because of the space in 'EX15 1'? Because 'EX15' already exists in that column? In which case do I need to somehow tell SQL that there is a space there?
I hope this makes sense
Below is a snap of the table with the existing EX15 postcode data
postcode|carrier_code|available|depot_code|hub_code|county_code
----------------------------------------------------------------
EX15.....|NF/S93......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO
EX15.....|NF/SAT......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO
EX15.....|NF/930......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO
EX15.....|NF/AM.......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO

EX15.....|NF/48.......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO
EX15.....|NF/3D.......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO
Here is a snap of how I would like to set up another entry:
postcode|carrier_code|available|depot_code|hub_code|county_code
----------------------------------------------------------------
EX15 1...|NF/S93......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO
EX15 1...|NF/SAT......|........1|34........|C.......|DEVO

Inserting Multiple Values Into One Column
May 1, 2001Is there a way to insert multiple values into a single column based on various "tests".
For example, I want to check a sales_order table and flag all new orders coming in against previous orders placed that were determined to be fraudulent. If I were to set up i.e. five different tests(i.e. check email, credit_card number etc. against previous fraud orders), then there would be the possibility that any given order can be flagged 1 to 5 times. I want to record all of these tests within the same column if possible. Therefore the output may look something like the following:
order_number fraud_score
1234567890 a,b,d
5432109876 e
2345678901 null
3455607983 a,b,c,d,e
I was considering adding five additional columns to the table and running five different update steps, but this doesn't appear very scalable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance-

Inserting New Column In Specific Place
Jan 15, 2007Hi
In MySQL it's simple to insert new columns in specific locations in a table like this
sql Code:
Original
- sql Code
alter table foo add column bar integer not null default 0 after baz
ALTER TABLE foo ADD COLUMN bar integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER baz
But attempting to do the same thing in MSSQL fails with a syntax error on the word "after." I can insert columns in MSSQL but only if they are added to the end. I looked at the Microsoft insert documentation here but don't see any way to replicate the above MySQL command.
Is there any way to do this in MSSQL? Or do I have to completely recreate all my tables from scratch?

sum(NumberOfDays) where PeriodID=1 and EmployeeID=1 and LeaveType=Sick
The result should be shown in new column name SickLeave (10)
Same all leave Types
The table should be shown as the below after executing the query
LeaveEntitlementID PeriodID EmployeeID AnnualLeave SickLeave
1 1 1 20 0
2 1 2 0 10
3 2 2 0 20

Searching A Column For A Value To Avoid Inserting A Duplicate Value
Jul 17, 2007Hi there, newbie here.
I'm building a web application that allows for tagging of items, using ASP.NET 2.0, C# and SQL Server.
I have my USERS, ITEMS and TAGS separated out into three tables, with an intersection table to connect them.
Imagine a user has found an item they are interested in and is about to tag it. They type their tag into a textbox and hit Enter.
Here's what I want to do:
I want to search the TagText column in my TAGS table, to see if the chosen tag is already in the table. If it is, the existing entry will be used in the new relationship the user is creating. Thus I avoid inserting a duplicate value in this column and save space. If the value is not already in the column, a new entry will be created.
Here's where I'm up to:
I can type a tag into a textbox and then feed it to a query, which returns any matches to a GridView control.
Now I'm stuck... I imagine I have to use "if else" scenario, but I'm unsure of the code I'll have to use. I also think that maybe ADO.NET could help me here, but I have not yet delved into this. Can anyone give me a few pointers to help me along?
Cheers!

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