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 €œmulti-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, €œ~€?. 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.

Help With Denormalized Data

Dec 13, 2006

My ERP system (SAP Business One) does not have a "payment type" field, instead it has a field for the amount of each type of payment. It makes for annoying reporting.

If I have the following data in the Incoming Payments table (ORCT)

DocEntryCashSumCreditSumCheckSumTrsfrSumDocTotal
0100000100
1010000100
2001000100
3000100100

What is an efficient SQL query to return something like this? (It is okay if the type returns an integer code instead of a string description):

DocEntryTypeTotal
0Cash100
1Credit100
2Check100
3Transfer100

I am currently using:

SELECTT0.DocEntry,
CASE
WHEN T0.CashSum <> 0 THEN 'Cash'
WHEN T0.CreditSum <> 0 THEN 'Credit'
WHEN T0.CheckSum <> 0 THEN 'Check'
WHEN T0.TrsfrSum <> 0 THEN 'Transfer'
END AS [Type],
CASE
WHEN T0.CashSum <> 0 THEN T0.CashSum
WHEN T0.CreditSum <> 0 THEN T0.CreditSum
WHEN T0.CheckSum <> 0 THEN T0.CheckSum
WHEN T0.TrsfrSum <> 0 THEN T0.TrsfrSum
END AS [Total]
FROMORCT T0


I think I've just been staring at this too long and wanted some fresh eyes to think outside of the box on this one.

I am using this to report on our customer's monthly statements so that I can display "12/13/06 Wire Transfer $100". There are many more complications to this query such as currencies and which document number or reference to display, but I have figured out most of those on my own.

Thank you,
Mike

SQL 2012 :: How To Provide Data In Denormalized Form From Normalized Tables

Apr 14, 2015

I have a requirement to provide data in a denormalized form from normalized tables. Working in SSIS.

I have two tables: EmployeeCountry and Country.

EmployeeCountry
EmployeeId (PK)(FK)
CountryId(PK)(FK)

Country
CountryId (PK)
CountryName

There will only be a max of 3 Country entries for each Employee. So I want to select the EmployeeId and get the three CountryIds so it would look like this:

Employee
EmployeeId
CountryId1
CountryId2
CountryId3

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

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?

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

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"

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?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: XML Export From A Denormalized Table

Aug 12, 2015

I have a de-normalized table that I need to export to XML using For XML, but put all of the related rows under the same node.The table is alot more complicated than the example below, but for proof of concept purposes, i'll keep it really simple:

Campaign, Price
C1, 4.00
C1, 6.00
C1, 10.00
C2, 1.00
C2, 13.00
C3, 20.00

If I have a table of campaigns and prices, I would like to output it as XML like the following:

<Campaign name="C1">
<Price value="4.00"></Price>
<Price value="6.00"></Price>
<Price value="10.00"></Price>
</Campaign>
<Campaign name="C2">
<Price value="1.00"></Price>
etc

The default behaviour gives me this:

<Campaign name="C1" price="4.00"/>
<Campaign name="C1" price="6.00"/>
<Campaign name="C1" price="10.00"/>

Is there an existing option that deals with this automatically, or do I essentially need to do a group by to output the campaign element, and then union an ungrouped select to output the price element?

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.

Extracting And Joining Header From Denormalized Table

Dec 1, 2005

Hello,I am currently working on a monthly load process with a datamart. Ioriginally designed the tables in a normalized fashion with the ideathat I would denormalize as needed once I got an idea of what theperformance was like. There were some performance problems, so thedecision was made to denormalize. Now the users are happy with thequery performance, but loading the tables is much more difficult.Specifically...There were two main tables, a header table and a line item table. Thesehave been combined into one table. For my loads I still receive them asseparate files though. The problem is that I might receive a line itemfor a header that began two months ago. When this happens I don't get aheader record in the current month's file - I just get the record inthe line items file. So now I have to join the header and line itemtables in my staging database to get the denormalized rows, but I alsomay have to get header information from my main denormalized table(~150 million rows). For simplicity I will only include the primarykeys and one other column to represent the rest of the row below. Thetables are actually very wide.Staging database:CREATE TABLE dbo.Claims (CLM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL,CLM_DATA VARCHAR(100) NULL )CREATE TABLE dbo.Claim_Lines (CLM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL,LN_NO SMALLINT NOT NULL,CLM_LN_DATA VARCHAR(100) NULL )Target database:CREATE TABLE dbo.Target (CLM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL,LN_NO SMALLINT NOT NULL,CLM_DATA VARCHAR(100) NULL,CLM_LN_DATA VARCHAR(100) NULL )I can either pull back all of the necessary header rows from the targettable to the claims table and then do one insert using a join betweenclaims and claim lines into the target table OR I can do one insertwith a join between claims and claim lines and then a second insertwith a join between claim lines and target for those lines that weren'talready added.Some things that I've tried:INSERT INTO Staging.dbo.Claims (CLM_ID, CLM_DATA)SELECT DISTINCT T.CLM_ID, T.CLM_DATAFROM Staging.dbo.Claim_Lines CLLEFT OUTER JOIN Staging.dbo.Claims C ON C.CLM_ID = CL.CLM_IDINNER JOIN Target.dbo.Target T ON T.CLM_ID = CL.CLM_IDWHERE C.CLM_ID IS NULLINSERT INTO Staging.dbo.Claims (CLM_ID, CLM_DATA)SELECT T.CLM_ID, T.CLM_DATAFROM Staging.dbo.Claim_Lines CLLEFT OUTER JOIN Staging.dbo.Claims C ON C.CLM_ID = CL.CLM_IDINNER JOIN Target.dbo.Target T ON T.CLM_ID = CL.CLM_IDWHERE C.CLM_ID IS NULLGROUP BY T.CLM_ID, T.CLM_DATAINSERT INTO Staging.dbo.Claims (CLM_ID, CLM_DATA)SELECT DISTINCT T.CLM_ID, T.CLM_DATAFROM Target.dbo.Target TINNER JOIN (SELECT CL.CLM_IDFROM Staging.dbo.Claim_Lines CLLEFT OUTER JOIN Staging.dbo.Claims C ON C.CLM_ID =CL.CLM_IDWHERE C.CLM_ID IS NULL) SQ ON SQ.CLM_ID = T.CLM_IDI've also used EXISTS and IN in various queries. No matter which methodI use, the query plans tend to want to do a clustered index scan on thetarget table (actually a partitioned view partitioned by year). Thenumber of headers that were in the target but not the header file thismonth was about 42K out of 1M.So.... any other ideas on how I can set up a query to get the distinctheaders from the denormalized table? Right now I'm considering usingworktables if I can't figure anything else out, but I don't know ifthat will really help me much either.I'm not looking for a definitive answer here, just some ideas that Ican try.Thanks,-Tom.

Split Wide, Denormalized Table Into Normalized Structure

Aug 27, 2002

Thanks for reading.

This is pretty long, hopefully it isn't rambling.

I'm building a system that imports data from several source, Excel files, text files, Access databases, etc. using DTS. The entire process revolved around MS SQL Server, by the way.

I figured I would create denormalized tables that mirror the Excel and flat files, for example, in structure, import data to those, clean up and remove duplicates there, then break those out into my normalized table structure later.

Now I've finished the importing part (though this is going to happen once a week) and I'm onto breaking up the denormalized tables.

I'm hesitating because I'm not sure I've made the best decisions in terms of process, etc.

I've decided to use cursors to loop over the denormalized tables and use batch insert statements to push data out to the appropriate tables.

Any comments? Suggestions? All is welcome.

I'm specifically interested in hearing back on the way I've set up the intermediate, denormalized tables and how I'm breaking them up using cursors (step 2 of the process below). Still, all comments are welcome. As are suggestions for further reading.

Thanks again...

simplified example
(my denormalized tables are 20 - 30 colums wide)

denormalized table:
===================
name, address, city, state, cellphone, homephone


normalized tables:
==================

tblPerson [PK_person, name, age, height, weight]
tblAddress [PK_address, FK_person, street, city, state, zip, addressType]
tblContact [PK_contact, FK_person, data, contactType]


I'm breaking up the denormalized tables like this (*UNTESTED*):
=================================================

DECLARE @vars.... (one for each column in my normalized table structure, matching size and type)

DECLARE myCursor CURSOR
FAST_FORWARD FOR
SELECT name, address, city, state, cellphone, homephone
FROM _DNT_myWideTable
INTO

WHILE @@Fetch_Status = 0
BEGIN
-- grab the next row from the wide table
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor
INTO @name, @address, @city, @state, @cellphone, @homephone


-- create the person first and get the ID with @@IDENTITY
INSERT INTO tblPerson (name) VALUES (@name)

SET @personID = @@IDENTITY


-- use that ID to coordinate inserts across other tables
INSERT INTO tblAddress (FK_person, address, city, state, addressType)
VALUES(@person, @address, @city, @state, 'HOME')

INSERT INTO tblContact (FK_person, data, contactType)
VALUES(@person, @cellphone, 'CELLPHONE')

INSERT INTO tblContact (FK_person, data, contactType)
VALUES(@person, @homephone, 'HOMEPHONE')

END

Denormalized Access Table To Normalized Database TableS

Apr 17, 2006

Hello,

I am pretty new to SSIS, so please excuse me if this is a trivial question.

I have a denormalized database table in an Access database that I need to import into several different tables in a SQL 2005 database. You can think of the Access table as a CustomerOrders table. For example customer related information (i.e. CustomerName, CustomerID, etc...) is repeated with each record in the Access table. When this data gets moved to the SQL 2005 database, I need to insert one record for each distinct CustomerName/Customer ID record into a Customers table. I then need to insert and link every "Order" record into an "Orders" table.

I am sure that this is probably a pretty common task, but I have not found any examples or articles explaining this particular situation. What ways can this be done?

I was thinking I need to loop through each DISTINCT Customer record in the Access (source) table and insert a Customer record into the destination database's Customer table. I would then need to iterate through each row of the Access (source) table and "Lookup" the appropriate CustomerID/Key Field and insert an "Order" record.

The Access table contains over 75,000 rows of data. I am looking for the most appropriate way of doing this with SSIS (so that I don't have to write a custom application to do this!). Any help, input, links, articles, etc. is appreciated!!

TIA

-Brian

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 IP Address

Jul 4, 2007

I am fairly new to SQL and am trying to write a function to parse the ip address into 4 sections. I have been searching through the forums to see if anyone has a posted example of parsing an ip address but could not find one.

I am wondering what would be the best method of doing this, or if anyone has an example.

Thank you

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.

Edit: 2007-7-31
1. Changed SQL_SERVER_MAJOR_VERSION to varchar(20)
2. Added code to create a view named V_SQL_SERVER_VERSION
3. Added four new columns to the view:
SERVER_NAME, value from @@servername
SQL_SERVER_MAJOR_VERSION_NUMBER, Example: 9
SQL_SERVER_VERSION_NUMBER, Example: 8.0020390000
WINDOWS_VERSION_NAME, Example: 'Windows 2000'

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
