Parsing CSV Name=value Pairs Into Columns
Nov 7, 2006
Hello smart SQL people,
I have a field in the DB that contains name value pairs in the form of csv. Is there a neat trick (using a stored proc) to get it to be diplayed as in columns (maybe create a view around it or somthing?) ?
EX.
Select 'name1=val1;name2=val2;name3=val3' as MyData
--> Returns
MyData
-----------
name1=val1;name2=val2;name3=val3
============================================
How can i get it to return
name1 name2 name3
--------------------------------
val1 val2 val3

I want to grab some key value pairs from the text in sql column
e.g.
some text[Key1=Val1]some text[Key2=Val2][Key3=Val3]some text
I want a function which takes Keyname as input & returns the value related with it if found.
GetValueFmKey('Key1') should return Val1 and like on.

I'm attempting to use T-SQL to strictly parse/pull Names from a string field like such: CN=John Doe,OU=xyz,DC=ituy,DC=qwer,DC=org...I would like the ultimate result to be JUST the full name John Doe (pretty much everything after the first = sign and before the first comma. I'm attempting combinations of REPLACE, STUFF, PATINDEX and SUBSTRING, but to no avail.

I have data in SQLSever 2008 R2 in one column as following. I would like to run a sql statement and capture them into individual columns. Would that be possible? The column separator is |

Hello everyone,
I have a package that extracts data from a Flat File. If any errors or truncation occur during the extraction of the input data, the package should fail. All fields that have erroneous values should be reported in the log file.
My Solution:
- I have created a Data Flow Task that contains a Flat File Source Adapter and a dummy destination.
- I have left the default "Error Output" configuration of the Flat File Source adapter, namely if a truncation or an error occur for a certain column, then the reaction is "Fail Component".
Problem:
This configuration gives me only the first erroneous column in the row being processed.
Question:
Is it possible to make the Flat File Source adapter continue parsing the current row before it fails? This way, I would be able to get all the erroneous columns in the row in one shot.
Thanks in advance...

In my table, I have some duplicate rows. I want to select only the unique value pairs.
So, the table/data look like this:
ColumnA -- ColumnB
123 -- 234
234 -- 345
234 -- 345
345 -- 456
I want to create a select statement that will only return:
123 -- 234
234 -- 345
345 -- 456
In other words, the duplicate row i.e. the second 234 - 345 -- won't be included in the set my SELECT statement will return.

How do you all recommend storing ordered pairs in SQL Server 2005? I plan to add one record for every data point but this will generate many records and requires an extra field to relate the points together. Are there any better ways to do this? Can the data still be searchable or does it have to be unpacked first?

I want to select unique country - date pairs. It is not even necessary to have the count of each one, just the list of unique country/dates.
My query here uses 'group by' to accomplish this task, but there may be a way to do this with a self join. I believe using a self join would make the query faster.
1) Is this possible to do with a self join?

I need ideas on how to achieve the following:
A parent can have many children - always has at least one.
A parent always has an 'anti-parent' with an equal number of 'anti-children' to the normal parent
Each child and anti child has a unique ID
I need to reconcile each Parent/antiParent Child/antichild and highlight the differences before.
Normally, reconciliation reports are fairly straightforward due to the fixed number of items, I'm not quite sure of the best way to do this.
How it should look in the report
PARENT A field1,field2,...,field n
PARENT B field1,field2,...,field n
CHILD A1 childfield1,cf2,....cf n (child A1 and B1 share a unique ID)
CHILD B1 childfield1,cf2.....cf n
CHILD A2
CHILD B2
...
CHILD An
CHILD Bn
So, compare PARENT A with PARENT B and highlight any differences
compare CHILDA1 with CHILD B1 and highlight any differences
...
compare CHILDAn with CHILD Bn and highlight any differences
Thoughts?

Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

I am trying to process an XML document that contains the attribute 'from_x'. However an openxml query can't seem to find any column with a '_x' suffix. For example if I were to execute the following fragment:
declare @hDoc int, @Message varchar(200)
select @Message = '<BACK_FM from_x="12"></BACK_FM>'
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, @Message
select from_x from openxml(@hDoc, 'BACK_FM',1) with (from_x int)
I get back a null value from the openxml query. Attribute names 'fromx' and 'from_y' work ok but nothing I have tried with a trailing '_x' will work.
Does anyone know if this is a known SQL Server bug? Is it a bug at all or something about XML that I don't know about?
Thanks,
Wayne King

I need to figure out how to parse a comma separated value.
Lets say I have a variable equal to a comma separated list.
SET @Variable = '045, 032, 025, 653'
I need to create a dynamic sql string to look like:
SET @Variable = ''' + '045' + ''' + ',' + ''' + '032' + ''' + ',' etc...
Can someone teach me a optimized query to do this?
Thanks

Anybody out there ever take a column containing names and parse it out to salutation, first name, middle initial/name, last name, suffix using Transact-SQL? I think I know how to do it using an array in a procedural language, but using SQL I'm drawing a blank.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated!

Hello everyone
Heres what it looks like:
I have a large file of over 40k email records. The emails are all mixed up and come in various formats but i noticed that most of them are in this format:
firstname.lastname@email.com
firstname.middlename.lastname@email.com
For all those emails with the period (.) in between, the (.) actually separates an individuals first and last name.
My task is this, to separate all the emails that are in this format into first and last name fields. I'm stimped folks and I'll really appreciate any pointers or ideas on how to go about solving this task.
Thanks

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi,
I have a name field that has fullname in it and i need to parse it to firstname, lastname, middle initial and suffix.
I used the below query to parse the Last Name and first name.
SELECT
SUBSTRING([FullName], 1, CHARINDEX(' ',[FullName]) - 1)AS LastName,
SUBSTRING([FullName], CHARINDEX(' ',[FullName]) + 1, LEN(FullName)) AS FirstName
FROM CustomerTbl
There are middel initials and suffix present in the full name. How do i parse the middle initial and suffix.
The Sample Name that appear in the table:
JONAS VICKY ==> Format without Middle Initial or suffix
MAYES MARY T ==> Format with middle initial
MCGEE, III CLIFTON ==> Format with suffix
Pls advise
Thanks

Table1 includes a column for email address. I'd like to parse everything up to 8 chars before the '@' symbol in this column. My script doesn't appear to be working, and I'd appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting it!
select substring(UPPER(substring(email,1,charindex('@',email)-1)),1,8)
from table1
The error produced is;
Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.
What am I doing wrong? The logic in the script looks good to me...

Hi,I have three tables in the following structure (simplified):Table 1: Containing the customers-------------------------------------------------create table Customers([cusID] int identity(1, 1) not null,[cusName] varchar(25) not null)Table 2: Containing the customer data fields---------------------------------------------------------------create table Data([datID] int identity(1, 1) not null,[datName] varchar(25) not null,[datFormula] varchar(1500))Table 3: Containing the customer data values-----------------------------------------------------------------create table Values([cusID] int not null,[datID] int not null,[valValue] sql_variant)In this structure the user can add as many data fields to a customer ashe wants (e.g. Country, City, Email, Phone, ...). I have added triggerswhich create a view similar to a pivot (I am working in SQL 2000) andadd triggers to the view so it is insertable, deletable and updateable.What I would like to do, is allow the user to create new fields wherethe values are based upon a calculation. This calculation would be donethrough a formula similar to what he would do e.g. in excel (thisformula is stored in the dimFormula field then).An example might help. Let's assume the user created a field 'Sales'(containing last year's sales) and 'Invoices' (containing the number ofinvoices that were created for him last year). Now, he wants to createa field 'AvgSales' with the formula '[Sales]/[Invoices]'.(Note that through adding these data fields, the above view was created(let's assume it is called vw_Customers and contains the columns [ID],[Name], [Sales], [Invoices], [AvgSales]).What I am looking for is a function which can parse this formula into at_sql query which runs the calculation. So, the formula'[Sales]/[Invoices]' would be translated into (let's assume there areno records with NULL or zero invoices):update vw_Customersset [AvgSales] = [Sales]/[Invoices]from vw_CustomersI am able to do the above with simple calculations (where you can evenuse sql functions e.g. year, len, ...). Now I would like to take thisone step forward into the possibility of using functions with morevariables.For example. Let's assume, the user wants to add a rating (field called'Rating') to his customers based upon the result of 'AvgSales. Heenters the formula 'if([AvgSales] > 2500, 'A', 'B')'.If anyone could help me on this, I would be very grateful. Thanks.M
