MultiRow Select To SingleRow Output?

Feb 26, 2004

Here is what I want to do.

I have a customer table with say id, firstname, lastname. I also have another table called phone number that contains multiple phone numbers based on the customer id (id, customerid, phonenumber).

Ok I want to output a record like this

firstname, lastname, phone1, phone2, phone3

I need one record per customer with as many phone numbers as they may have, I could always limit the numbers to 3 or better yet return a null if there are less then the predefined number of phone numbers.

If I try a simple join I get multiline output which is no good for me.

SELECT firstname, lastname, phonenumber
FROM customer, phone
WHERE phone.customerid = customer.id

Thanks.

Multirow Triggers

Mar 23, 2007

Hi,

I am a sql near novice and have a problem in a project I am working on. The exact details of the tables would be too confusing to explain here so I'll use a hypothetical case,

I have a table with 4 columns reccid (int,pk), apples (int),pears(int),oranges (int), lemons (int), totfruit (int), totcitrus(int)

I have a trigger that whenever I update apples,pears,oranges or lemons columns the totfruit and totcitrus are updated with the totals.
---------------------
after update
as
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
update fruit set
totcitrus=lemons + oranges,
totfruit=apples+pears+lemons+oranges
END
---------------------

This works fine for single row updates, but if I run a stored procedure against the table such as;

update fruit set lemons=lemons*2

Then I ger an error message of Subquery returned more than 1 value.

I know I havent written the trigger correctly for multirow updates but dont understand enough to see what I have to do, any advice would be very welcome, also can anyone recommend a suitable book.

Thanks a lot.

Multirow Insert Statement,... How?

Mar 19, 2004

In MySQL I was able to insert multiple rows into the db like this:

REPLACE INTO Products (productid, price) VALUES (1, 55), (2, 88), (3, 99);


In transact-Sql (Sql Server 2000), this "REPLACE" keyword means something different. What it meant in MySQL is that if there is an existing row that has the same primary key value as one of the new rows being inserted, it will replace that old row with the new row.

How do I do this in SQL Server 2000?

Also, I can do this in MySQL:

INSERT INGORE INTO Products (productid, price) VALUES (1, 55), (2, 88), (3, 99);


This meant in MySQL is that if there is an existing row that has the same primary key value as one of the new rows being inserted, it will ignore that new row's insert and keep the values of the old row.

How do I do that also in SQL Server 2000?


Thanks

Trigger To Handle Multirow Updates

Mar 2, 2006

I am trying to implement trigger which can handle multirow updates and which is running on replicated table. So I want it never fails as trigger failure brakes replication.

So:

CREATE TRIGGER on_person_update

BEGIN

-- create temp table

-- populate temp table with Inserted values (I do not need Deleted as PK never change)

COMMIT TRAN

-- Am I right that this insures updates on replicated table will never be rollback after this commit?

BEGIN TRAN A

-- Make a checkpoint here to be able to rollback at any time to this point if something wrong inside loop.

SAVE TRAN MyTran

-- Start looping in temp table

-- RUN DML statement to make neccesary changes for each record in temp table

-- Does it make any sense to do this (IF @ERR below)? When I am trying in DML insert string value into integer column it never gets to IF statement - terminates straight away.

-- Reason why I think I need it as this trigger might be called by another trigger and top level trigger will get an error and can make a decision based on this.

IF @ERR <> 0
BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRAN MyTran
RAISERROR('Insert or Update failed in on_person_sls_update trigger with error: %s', 16, 1, @ERR)
RETURN
END

-- End looping temp

-- Do I need here COMMIT TRAN A or trigger will make commit anyway?

END

Why all of this?

Data changed on distributor and arrive to subscriber as a transaction.

We have a trigger on replicated table which will update replicated table in any way but after that it will update another database on subscriber.

This trigger should be able to handle multirow updates.

When this trigger updates another database it runs DML which fires other triggers so they become nested, if I am right. Our trigger should always accept changes from distributor as if it fails replication brakes but after data saved in temp table none or all changes have to be made.

May be I am copmpletely wrong with this template - hope somebody will help.

Thank you,



Igor

Changing Output Of Select

Feb 18, 2015

I have a table: it contains a list of data belonging to a name, however the field 'name' defines the source.

name |field1 |field1data |

test1 |in |123
test1 |out |345
test2 |in |123
test2 |out |456
test3 |in |123
test3 |out |456

I'm trying to get the data out of the database in a columed format, I would be quite comfortable doing this if 'in' and 'out' where there own field. The output i'm trying to get is:

name |data |data |

test1 |123 |456
test2 |123 |456
test3 |123 |456

in an ideal world i'd like to be able to have the header the name of the field data - eg

name |in |out |

test1 |123 |456
test2 |123 |456
test3 |123 |456

I can use - select name,field1data from table where field1 in ("in","out")but this returns each piece of data as a new row - eg:

name |field1data |

test1 |123
test1 |456
test2 |123
test2 |456
test3 |123
test3 |456

Output Parameters And Select Statements

Mar 17, 2004

Hi,

thanks for reading!

Here is my problem: I have a strored procedure that inserts some records

into one table and then selects some records from another table at the end.

The stored procedure takes several parameters, first one of them is marked as

OUTPUT. I'm using it to return an id of the inserted record. The procedure is called from asp.net code with first parameter set as ParameterDirection.InputOutput (tried with just Output as well). Now for the problem: if the the select statement at the end returns 0 records everything works and i my first parameter contains the @@IDENTITY value from the insert statement like it is supposed to.

If the select statement at the end returns 1 or more records my output parameter is not updated at all and contains the same value as before the procedure was run. All the records are inserted correctly.

if i try to return the @@identity as a plain select statement instead of through the parameter
i get System.DBNull.

I hope you can shed some light on this for me. Here is my stored procedure:



CREATE PROCEDURE cwSaveProductInquiry
@inquiryId int OUTPUT,
@libraryName nvarchar(500),
@contactName nvarchar(200),
@address nvarchar(100),
@city nvarchar(50),
@state nvarchar(3),
@zip nvarchar(10),
@phone nvarchar(50),
@email nvarchar(100),
@comment nvarchar(3000),
@productIds nvarchar(2000)

AS

INSERT INTO INQUIRY (LibraryName, ContactName, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone, Email, Comment) VALUES(@libraryName, @contactName, @address, @city, @state, @zip, @phone, @email,@comment)


--i tried including this statement at the end as well but that did not do the

--trick either

select @inquiryId=@@IDENTITY FROM INQUIRY





set nocount on
declare @separator_position int -- This is used to locate each separator character
declare @objectId varchar(200) -- this holds each array value as it is returned

if(@productIds is not null)
begin
while patindex('%,%' , @productIds) <> 0
begin
select @separator_position = patindex('%,%' , @productIds)
select @objectId= left(@productIds, @separator_position - 1)
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_INQUIRY_LOOKUP (ProductId,InquiryId) VALUES(@objectId, @inquiryId)
select @productIds = stuff(@productIds, 1, @separator_position, '')
end
end
set nocount off

Select Distinct Email from vPRODUCT_CONTACT WHERE ProductId in
(Select ProductId From Product_Inquiry_Lookup Where InquiryId=@inquiryId)

Supress Output From Execute Of A Select

Converting SELECT Output To String

Nov 23, 2005

I'm looking for some good hints and tips for reprogrammin an old VB module I just found.

Basically what it does, is receive an input parameter (an int), does a select [name row] from Names where Name_id = [input parameter] and turns this into a string if multiplenames appear.

E.g. result set: John, Josh, Jock turns it into string "John Josh Jock".

So its piece of cake creating a stored procedure selecting data on the base of an input parameter. Select X from Y where Z = @input... the trick is, I don't know how to do arrays in TSQL as in VB.

In the VB edition I create an array, load the names into it, I do a count on how many row the select returns and then a simple for... next adding the names to the string.

Any good examples on how to do this in a sql-server stored proc?

Thanks,

Trin

P.S. This is what I have pieced together this far:


CREATE PROCEDURE findnames

@number int

AS

DECLARE @instrument varchar(50)
DECLARE @tempinstt varchar(10)

DECLARE medlemcursor CURSOR
FOR
SELECT [MCPS Kode]
FROM DW.dbo.names(NOLOCK)
WHERE number = @number

OPEN medlemcursor

FETCH NEXT FROM medlemcursor INTO @tempinstt
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN
SET @instrument = @instrument + @tempinstt + '-'
FETCH NEXT FROM medlemcursor INTO @tempinstt
END

CLOSE medlemcursor
DEALLOCATE medlemcursor

SELECT @instrument
GO


Just doesn't seem to work, returns NULL, even though I've checked that the cursor SELECT statement actually returns data,

Hiding Or Removing Column Output From Select Statement

Feb 22, 2005

I'm executing the following...

select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1

the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed.

I was hoping a simple
"delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)"

would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect?

this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so.

SQLCMD Gives Crazy Output From A Simple SELECT Command

Select Statement That Will Output Related Rows With Different Column Data Per Row?

Apr 27, 2008

Is there a way to build a select statement that will output related rows with different column data per row? I want to return something like:


rowtype| ID | value
A | 123 | alpha
B | 123 | beta
C | 123 | delta
A | 124 | some val
B | 124 | some val 2
C | 124 | some val 3
etc...

where for each ID, I have 3 rows that are associated with it and with different corresponding values.

I'm thinking that I will have to build a temp table/cursor that will get all the ID data and then loop through it to insert each rowtype data into another temp table.

i.e. each ID iteration will do something like:
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('A', 123, 'alpha')
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('B', 123, 'beta')
insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('C', 123, 'delta')
etc..

After my loop, I will just do a select * from #someTempTable

Is there a better, more elegant way instead of using two temp tables? I am using MSSQL 2005

Mapping A String Field To Boolean Output In SELECT Clause

Oct 18, 2006

Hello,
I am facing a problem in a SELECT clause which i cannot solve.
In my SQL table ("myTable") i have a few columns ("Column1", "Column2", "TypeColumn"). When I select different columns of the table, instead of getting the value of TypeColumn, i would like to get a boolean indicating whether its value is a certain string or not.
For example, the TypeColumn accepts only a number of selected strings: "AAA", "BBB", "CCC".
when i do a select query on the table, instead of asking for TypeColumn i would like to ask a boolean value of 1 if TypeColumn is "AAA" and 0 if TypeColumn is "BBB" or "CCC". Also, i would like to make this query while I am also fetching the other columns. And i would like to use one query to get all that. I thought something like thsi would work:

SELECT Column1 AS Col1, Column2 AS Col2, IF(TypeColumn = "AAA", 1, 0) AS Col3
FROM myTable

but this doesn't work in SQL 2005!
Is it possible to do something similar in SQL 2005 using one query only? i am trying to avoid multiple queries for this.

thanks a lot for your help!

declare @tableHTML nvarchar(max) ;
set @tableHTML =
N'<h1>Revenue Report</h1>' +
N'<table border="1">' +
N'<tr><th>Amount</th><th>Index</th><th>CompObj</th><th>Rev Type</th><th>Program</th>'+
CAST ((SELECT td=SUM(dbo.tblAllocations.Amount),'',

[code]....

SQL Server 2012 :: Using Unions To Write Out Each Select Query As Distinct Line In Output

Aug 20, 2015

Basically I'm running a number of selects, using unions to write out each select query as a distinct line in the output. Each line needs to be multiplied by -1 in order to create an offset balance (yes this is balance sheet related stuff) for each line. Each select will have a different piece of criteria.

Although I have it working, I'm thinking there's a much better or cleaner way to do it (I use the word better loosely)

Example:
SELECT 'Asset', 'House', TotalPrice * -1
FROM Accounts
WHERE AvgAmount > 0
UNION
SELECT 'Balance', 'Cover', TotalPrice
FROM Accounts
WHERE AvgAmount > 0

What gets messy here is having to write a similar set of queries where the amount is < 0 or = 0

I'm thinking something along the lines of building a table function contains all the descriptive text returning the relative values based on the AvgAmount I pass to it.

Number Of ROWS Of Output Of Aggregate Transformation Sometimes Doesn't Match The Output From T-SQL Query

Dec 25, 2006

While using Aggregate Transformation to group one column,the rows of output sometimes larger than the rows returned by a T-SQL statement via SSMS.

For example,the output of the Aggregate Transformation may be 960216 ,but the

'Select Count(Orderid) From ... Group By ***' T-SQL Statement returns 96018*.

I'm sure the Group By of the Aggregate Transformation is right!



But ,when I set the "keyscale" property of the transformation,the results match!

In my opinion,the "keyscale" property will jsut affects the performance of the transformaiton,but not the result of the transformation.

Thanks for your advice.
