We are running sql server 2005 standard edition. In the query below, it has top percent clause in the subquery and returns various rows, 2, or 3, or 4 rows each times when running manually one after another. Does anyone have an explaination?
SELECT dbo.WOB_STEP.STEP_UID FROM dbo.WOB_STEP INNER JOIN dbo.CURRENT_DATES CD1 ON (dbo.WOB_STEP.CD_UID=CD1.CD_UID) WHERE ( dbo.WOB_STEP.STEP_UID IN (SELECT TOP (50) PERCENT WITH TIES STEP_UID FROM dbo.vWOB_STEP_RANDOM WHERE OPERATOR_NAME = 'Jennelyn Llobrera' AND VENDOR_RETURN_FLAG = 1 ORDER BY RandomID) )
I have a scenario wherein one of the column values in a row contains a string value which is non-delimited (as shown below). I need to split them by 2 characters and generate as many rows as count of set of 2 digits in that string.
I already have a solution in place to run it thru cursor and then do a while loop on the CountyList column by taking 2 digit value using Substring function (keeping start position dyanamic and jumping 2 positions).
I'm sure there is probably a very easy solution that I am just not seeing or can't Google...
I have a DataFlow that includes a column of Delimited values (i.e. Value1,Value2,etc..). As this DataFlow is populating a parent table, I need split the values into their own dataflow and populate a child table. I've tried a script transformation and couldn't figure out how to accept 1 delimited input row and output multiple rows after a split. Any ideas?
Hello any MS SQL experts out there! please help if you can. i'm trying to run a subquery within a query to keep myself from having to loop over the original query on display and then run additional queries to get the further info. here's the setup. i have two tables:
persons table column: name (varchar) column: vehicleids (varchar)
vehicles table column: id (int pk) column: vehiclename (varchar)
- The persons table is a list of peoples' names and what kind of vehicle/s they own. - The persons.vehicleids field is a comma-delimited list of one or more integers which correspond to the vehicles.id field. - The vehicles table contains a list of vehicles like car, bicycle, motorcycle, etc, distinguished by the vehicles.id field.
The result i want returned by the query is:
NAME - VEHICLES Joe Somebody - car,bicycle Sheila Johnson - van,pogostick,motorcycle John Nobody - skateboard,car
The query i'm trying to run to get this result is:
Code Snippet
SELECT pe.name, ( SELECT ve.vehiclename FROM vehicles ve WHERE CAST(ve.id AS VARCHAR) IN (pe.vehicleids) ) AS vehicles FROM persons pe ORDER BY pe.name
It returns the persons names in the first column, but only returns vehicle names in the second column when there's a single id in the persons.vehicleids field. if there's more than one integer in the field, it returns an empty string.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I do have the option of table restructuring if its necessary, but I'm not looking for a stored procedure solution or a temp table solution. Any takers? I would be in the kharmic debt of anyone providing a workable avenue.
I have several databases to deal with, all with + 250 tables. The databases are not identical and do not conform to a specific naming convention for table names. Most but not all tables have a column called "LastUpdated" containing a date/time (obviously). I'd like to be able to find all rows within a whole database (table by table) where the date/time is greater than a specified date/time.
I'm looking for a reliable query that will return all the rows in each of the tables but without me having to write hundreds of individual scripts "SELECT * FROM [dbo.xyz] WHERE LastUpdated > '2015-01-01 09:00:00:000'", or have to look through each table first to determine which of them has the LastUpdated field.
Hi,I'm trying to outer join to a maximum date value using a subquery inorder to return company information and the last activity dateassociated. The basic working "sub" query is:SELECT actcomp.company_id, MAX(act.due_date)FROM oncd_activity_company AS actcomp, oncd_activity AS actWHERE actcomp.activity_id = act.activity_idGROUP BY company_idThe overall (abbreviated) query I'm trying to insert this select intois:SELECT oncd_company.company_id,oncd_company.company_name,act.due_dateFROM oncd_companyLEFT OUTER JOIN oncd_activity_company ON (oncd_company.company_id =oncd_activity_company.company_id)LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT actcomp.company_id, MAX(act.due_date)FROM oncd_activity_company AS actcomp, oncd_activity AS actWHERE actcomp.activity_id = act.activity_idGROUP BY company_id) ON(oncd_activity_company.company_id = actcomp.company_id)I'm receiving an "invalid syntax near keyword ON" error (highlightappears on the period in "oncd_activity_company.company_id").Any help would be appreciated!Thanks,Chris.
I've to write a function to return a comma delimited values from a table columns
If a table has Tab1 ( Col1,Col2,Col3).
E.g. as below ( the columnName content I want to use as columns for my pivot table
CREATE FUNCTION [RPT].[GetListOfCol] ( @vCat NVARCHAR(4000) ) RETURNS @PList AS BEGIN SELECT @PList += N', [' + [ColumnName] +']' FROM [ETL].[TableDef] WHERE [IsActive] = 1 AND [Category] = @vCat RETURN; END;
I want out put to be as below, I am getting this output from the select query independently by declaring @Plist variable and passing @vcat value, now I want it to be returned from a function when called from a select query output ,Colum1,column2,....
I have 2 tables, Jobs and Categories.Each job belongs to a category. At present, I am returning all categories as follows:SELECT categoryID, categoryName FROM TCCI_CategoriesWhat I'm trying to do, is also return the number of jobs assigned to each category, so in my web page display, it would show something like this:Engineering(5)Mechanical(10) etc.My db currently has 5 categories, with only one job assigned to a category. I tried the following sub-query, but instead of returning all the categories with their job counts, it just returns the category that has a job assigned to it:SELECT c.categoryID, c.categoryName, COUNT(j.jobID)FROM TCCI_Categories c, (SELECT jobID, categoryID FROM TCCI_Jobs) jWHERE j.categoryID = c.categoryIDGROUP BY c.categoryID, c.categoryName, j.jobIDThis is the output when I run the query:categoryID categoryName Column1 ---------------- ---------------------- ------------------------------32 Engineering 1 How would I fix this?
I have the following table:id name1 yes2 no3 what4 is5 this6 niceThe amount of rows can vary from 1 to 50. I only need the name column.What SQL statement do I have to execute to get the following:yes,no,what,is,this,nice, (trailing , is acceptable)Thanks!
Hi everyone. A delimited file is being sent to us from another company. The file is supposed to have 10 columns in each row. We are going to process the file using SSIS (2005)
Question - how do we handle the file if some of the rows are bad - are missing one or more columns?
If my package reads the file using a flat file source, when I run the package with a file where some of the rows have fewer than the expected 10 columns, my package abends on the flat file source task.
All we can think of doing is writing .net code to process the file as the first step of the package or even outside the package, to remove bad rows from the file before it hits SSIS.
Browsing through a couple of threads here similar to mine, it appeared to me that MS staff responded by stating the functionality of the flat file source may be enhanced in the future to handle this?
Hi, all:I have a form which lets users choose more than one value for each question.But how do I insert each value as a separate row in my table (instead ofhaving the values submitted as a comma-delimited list)?Thanks for your help.J
I am using sql server 2005. I stuck out in a strange problem. I am using view in my stored procedure, when I run the stored procedure some of the rows get skipped out means if select query have to return 10 rows then it is returning 5 rows or any other but not all, also the records displyaing is randomly coming, some time it is displaying reords 12345 next time 5678, other time 2468.
But if I run seperately the querys written in SP then it returns all the rows. Please give me solution why it is happening like this.
There are indexes in the tables.
Once I shrink the database and rebuild the indexes, from then this problem is happening. I have rebuild the indexes several time, also updated the statistics but nothing improving.
ID Description ParentID Level B.01 Parent 1 H B.01.01 Parent 1.1 B.01 H B.01.01.01 Parent 1.1.1 B.01.01 H B.01.01.01.01 Detail 1 B.01.01.01 D B.01.01.01.02 Detail 2 B.01.01.01 D
[Code] .....
That means, only select Level=H, and display the last record of H with concatenated the description of each rows delimited with comma.
In the Sql below, sample from William Pearson, the amount Spend is in descending order and the Rank number is in ascending order. Like this:

SOFWARES TABLE SOFTWARE_ID SOFTWARE_NAME -------------- ----------------- 1 X 2 Y 3 Z
I need a result like; COMPANY_ID COMAPNY_NAME SOFTWARES ------------- ---------------- ------------ 10 My Company X, Y, Z
I've used a query like;
SELECT COMPANY_ID ,COMPANY_NAME ,( SELECT SOFTWARE_NAME FROM COMPANY_SOFTWARES COS, SOFTWARES S WHERE S.SOFTWARE_ID=CS.SOFTWARE_ID AND COS.COMPANY_ID = C.COMPANY_ID ) AS SOFWARE_NAMES FROM COMPANY C WHERE AND C.COMPANY_ID = 10
But I get an error message; Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
I've read that in MySQL there is CONCAT function for the result I want but I couldn't find any solution in MSSQL server, any solutions, suggestions?
i have two tables Student and Daily Attendance with following structure ,as i want to extract students of a class order by roll number which are not in Daily Attendance table , i know it will be solved by subquery but I don't know how to solve it.
I have a table with millions of rows, 1 particular attribute "FromPerson" contains a string of email addresses, names, etc... for example (formatting done by this window... not exists in database...completely cleaned to semi-colon delimited)
tomh@gmail.com; Snyder, John N.; jsnyder@yahoo.com; Miller, Jim; millerj@gmail.com; Tenbrow, Jack; Katie Winslow (can be x number of names, emails...)
as you can see... some of the delimited values match up with an email address, others have just names, or emails... I have successfully split this into 1 row per value per say, but how do i get them to match up the values that do. I think the splitting is really not helping the cause... what i want is this...
tomg@hotmail.com tomg@hotmail.com Snyder, John N. jsnyder@yahoo.com Miller, Jim millerj@gmail.com Tenbrow, Jack Tenbrow, Jack Katie Winslow Katie Winslow
there could/can be other attributes, like datetime stamp, domain(if any)... etc... but I think I can add that later...
This is probably very elementary to someone more experienced, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a way to do the following:
SELECT * FROM Transactions WHERE MyField LIKE (SELECT MyValues FROM SearchValues)
But I can't because the subquery will return multiple rows. That's all I'm really trying to do - search all the rows in Transactions.MyField for any of the search values returned from the subquery.
And I can't restructure the SearchValues table to combine them into a single-row comma-delimited field or anything like that.
I am trying to return as a dataset of this that shows the ID as column 1 then each value in the 2nd column as individual columns if I use SELECT LEFT('2ndColumn,PATINDEX(',',2ndColum)-1) I can return the first value as a column but then can't return any further values individually after the first column, I am just learning the new functionality in SSIS so not sure whether this would be my answer as apposed to T-SQL, if anyone has any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated?
Hi there, I need to select rows from a table, but include the top 3 rows of another linked table as a single field in the results. Here is my basic structure:
Hello,I'm not getting any response to this on the SQLDTS newsgroup, so Ithought that I would try here:I just ran into this problem and I can't find any other mention of itthrough Google. I have a text file that is comma-delimited. It alsouses double quotes as text identifiers. A new column has been added tothe file, but currently has no values. I would like to finish mydevelopment so that when it does finally get some values, they will beimported as well. The problem is, the last column does not show up inDTS.I can reproduce this problem easily enough... create a text file withthe following two lines in it:1,"test",2,"test2",Now, create a new DTS package and add a text file connection. Point itto the new file and go through the properties for the file. You willnotice that on the second screen where it displays the preview of thedata there are only two columns shown.This does not happen if there is no text qualifier or if at least onerow has the final column value filled. Is there any way around thisproblem?Thanks!-Tom.
Hi,I would like to parse out each value that is seperatedby a comma in a field and use that value to join to another table.What would be the easiest way to do so without having towrite a function or routine ?EX.Table AAACOL1 COL21 11, 124, 1562 11, 505, 600, 700, ...Table BBBCOL1 COL211 Desc11124 Desc124156 Desc 156
I have questions and answers from one table, I need to select questions as column names and answers column values as the results for the questions column.
Hi, I need to search a column in my database (varchar:50) that contains a comma delimited string of numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10). Currently, I am doing the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE clubs_belongs_to LIKE '%1%'
Where 1 is the number I'm searching for. The problem with the query above is that it returns records that contain 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. in the clubs_belongs_to field. I want the query to only return those people who belong to club number 1, not 10, 11, 12, etc. Please help. Thanks in advance. I have tried using IN instead of LIKE, but that didn't seem to get the results I wanted either.
I have a stored procedure that returns a single row based on a parameter of employee ID. This particular procedure uses a CTE to traverse our org structure. One of the columns is returning a delimited string of Windows login values and due to the business rules, it can contain duplicate values. I need to have that column contain only unique values - no dupes.
For example, this one column could contain something like this:
