I have a table with multiple rows for a single reference, e.g.
Col1 Col2
1 John
1 Mary
1 Tom
2 Dick
2 Anne
How do I create this view:
Col1 Col2
1 John, Mary, Tom
2 Dick, Anne
How do I prevent the following null 'Answer'?This SQL will return a null string for 'Answer' whenever the count is null either for 'subquery-1' or for 'subquery-2', even though the other is not null. I need a string in either case. It would be better to have 'Answer' be "f1=, f2=25" than to have nothing. It doesn't seem right that both COUNT's have to be non-null to get anything other than null for the concatenated 'Answer'. There ought to be a way for COUNT to return 0 in some cases where it now returns null. I'd expect/prefer an 'Answer' of "f1=0, f2=25" or maybe even "f1=<null>, f2=25".I expect I'd have the same problem with nulls even if I wasn't using subqueries.SELECT 'f1='+CAST(COUNT(subquery-1) AS VARCHAR)+', f2='+CAST(COUNT(subquery-2) AS VARCHAR) AS AnswerFROM table1WHERE condition=5GROUP BY fieldX

i want to split the string based on this delimater and need to insert into @tbl..
There are more columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement.

So I've run into another problem. I've figured out how to concatenate multiple rows into a single string my only problem is using that on another query with multiple rows...Basically what I'm trying to do is pull up information for each class a student has in his/her profile and while at it pull up any prerequisite classes that are associated with a certain class. So the final query would look something like this...
StudClassID Completed Class ID Name Description Credits Prereq... rest are insignificant...
0 0 CSC200 Cool prog... blah.... 3 CSC160, CSC180
I get the concept of the coalesce and cast just i'm not understanding how to get it to work with each return on the main select...anyways below are the tables and my current query call...

Hello,
We are creating an app to search through products. On the presentation layer, we allow a user to 'select' categories (up to 10 check boxes). When we get the selected check boxes, we create a concatenated string with the values.
My question is: when I pass the concatenated string to the SPROC, how would I write a select statement that would search through the category field, and find the values in the concatenated string?
Will I have to create Dynamic SQL to do this?...or... can I do something like this...
@ConcatenatedString --eg. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM TABLE WHERE CategoryId LIKE @ConcatenatedString
Thanks for your help.
I have:
<<Select @SQL = 'Select Keyword, SICCode From zlk_SICCodeKeyword Where Keyword like ''%' + @KeywordOrSIC + '%''' + ' order by Keyword'
exec(@SQL)>>
which works fine, but I want to modify it to do this
<<Select Replace(Keyword,',',' ') AS Keyword, SICCode From zlk_SICCodeKeyword Where Keyword like 'real%' order by Keyword >>
which works from the query window but I can not get the right combination around the 'replace section' to make up a string for the exec.
All help greatly appreciated

Hello,
I'm trying to set the default value of a column (SysInvNum) in a table (caseform) of mine by concatenating 3 other fields in the same table. These other fields are all Integer datatypes. they are "CaseYear" e.g. (2005), "InvNum" e.g. (0001) and "PostId" e.g. (5).
So basically the SysInvNum column for this row should read '200500015'
When I run a basic query using the CAST or CONVERT functions like this:
SELECT convert (varchar,caseyear) + convert(varchar,InvNum) + convert(varchar,postid) from caseform
OR
SELECT cast(caseyear as varchar(4)) + cast(InvNum as varchar(4)) + cast(postid as varchar(1)) from caseform
I get the results I want. But since I want this value to be the default value of the column, I tried inserting this: convert (varchar,caseyear) + convert(varchar,InvNum) + convert(varchar,postid) into the default value parameter of the column in the caseform table. The result is a string that is the query itself.
I then tried creating a UDF called getsysinvnum() where I declare and set 2 variables whilst returning one of the variables as a varchar. An example of what it looks like is this:
CREATE FUNCTION GetSysInvNum()
RETURNS varchar
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @maxcaseid Int
DECLARE @sysinvnum varchar
SELECT @maxcaseid = max (caseid) from caseform
SELECT @sysinvnum = cast(caseyear as varchar(4)) + cast(invnum as varchar(4)) + cast(postid as varchar(1)) from caseform where caseid = @maxcaseid
RETURN @sysinvnum
END
The result I get when I plug this into the default value of the column as : ([dbo].[getsysinvnum]()) is "2".
Yes it returns the number "2" could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, or suggest a better way for me to do this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a stored proc which accepts a varchar(255) as a parameter and when I call the proc using a concatenised string I get an error i.e.
-- Proc
CREATE PROCEDURE #proc_param_test
@p_param1 varchar(40) = NULL
, @p_param2 varchar(40) = NULL
AS
BEGIN
SELECT @p_param1, @p_param2
END
EXEC #proc_param_test 'test', 'test 2'
returns
---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
test test 2
but EXEC #proc_param_test 'test', 'test 2' + ' - the rest'
gives a Incorrect syntax near '+'. error
The solution must be a real doddle but it's a 'mare to find anywhere.

I have following 2 queries which return different results.
declare @accountIdListTemp varchar(max)
SELECT COALESCE(@accountIdListTemp + ',','') + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),acct_id)
FROM (SELECT Distinct acct_id
FROM SomeTable) Result
print @accountIdListTemp
The above query return the values without concatenating it.
declare @pot_commaSeperatedList varchar(max)
SELECT DISTINCT acct_id
into #accountIdListTemp
FROM SomeTable
SELECT @pot_commaSeperatedList = COALESCE(@pot_commaSeperatedList + ',','') + CONVERT(VARCHAR(100),acct_id)
FROM #accountIdListTemp
print @pot_commaSeperatedList
drop table #accountIdListTemp
This query returns result as concatenated string of comma separated values.
If i want to get similar result in a single query how can i get it?
This is how my table was structured:
Code:
=================================================
|id|cat|amount|
|---------------|---------------|---------------|
|1|1|400|
|1|2|150|
|2|1|600|
-------------------------------------------------
I want to query for a result that would look like this:
Code:
=================================================
|id|cat1|cat2|
|---------------|---------------|---------------|
|1|400 |150|
|2|600||
-------------------------------------------------
How do I do it? I'm working with SQL Server 2000.

--Example Schema posted at end of message:---For reporting purposes, I need to build a single comma delimited string ofvalues from the "many" tableof a database.The easiest way to see what I want is to look at the sample after mysignature.By the way, this is actually a busines problem, not homework! I justcreated a simpleexample using class and persons because everyone is familiar with thatrelationship.I have two tables on the 'one' side of the relationship: PERSON and CLASSThe ENROLLMENT table resolves the many to many relationship between PERSONand CLASS.(I know that a real system would be date effective, etc, but this is just asimple example.that will show my problem). ENROLLMENT has one row for each Class in which aPerson is enrolled.Look at the sample report: I have to "flatten" the join result and listthe class titles in acomma delimited string. I am stuck with this reporting requirement, and Iam NOT going to denormalizethe tables.One way to accomplish the result is to use a cursor to step through the rowsand build a "Classes"string with concatenation. I don't much like this option. I am not writingthe front end code,but I want to make it easy for the developer. Ideally, I would like to givehim a flattened viewso he can just do a simple join and run his report.I believe that what I want cannot be accomplished with ANSI SQL. However,does MS SQL have someextensions that could help me do the job?

I have a recursive hierarchy in SSRS2005 which contains accounts like so:
+ Revenue
+ Expense
which is grouped using details group and can be expanded like:
+ Revenue
- Revenue type
- Revenue type
- etc.
+ Expense
- Expense type
- Expense type
- etc.
It can be drilled down in five levels. This works fine in both SSAS and SSRS, but when I export the report to excel 2003, the hierarchy gets flattened, meaning that every account on the detail level (level 5) is exposed. Not what I had in mind. Rather SSRS should create a hierarchy in excel as well..
Is there a workaround for this?

I was wondering if there was away to write a stored procedure where I concatenate several columns to create a Phrase and use that Phrase as a new value to do a second search in another table.
Example.
Table 1.
Column1 (Modem) Column2 (Highspeed) Column3 (Black)
Concatenated to be MODEM HIGHSPEED BLACK.
The 2nd table has the concatenated value as it's own column and 2nd column for the number in Inventory.
Column1 (MODEM HIGHSPEED BLACK) Column2 (44)

In a simple 3 column table

I was trying to create a connection to a database that I created in SQL Express. I am essentially trying to submit three attributes to the existing database from a table that consists of three textboxes and a submit button. I would like all of the code to be in the head of the page (because that is the standard here) so I wanted to know what the connection string should be in Visual Basic 2005 Express to establish a connection on the same machine. I'm not sure about the connection string, but I am also not sure about a lot of the code. Also, the Using clauses seem to give me an error (where should it go?). This is what I have in the head of the page (visual C# by the way). Also, I got this from http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorials/AdoDotNet/Lesson03.aspx :

I have a string which is delimited by commas:

I need to create a SQL statement to read the string, split it at the "," character, and insert it into individual rows. I also need to insert an ID (the same for all split values).
For instance:
INSERT INTO tbl_Temp (unique_id, ID, color) VALUES (1, 999, Green)
INSERT INTO tbl_Temp (unique_id, ID, color) VALUES (2, 999, Red)
INSERT INTO tbl_Temp (unique_id, ID, color) VALUES (3, 999, Blue)

I would like to be able to do this all in one statement so I don't have to break it out into individual SQL statements.
I have a table having Style Nos (VarChar Col), how I can return values from multiple rows in a single string.
for Example if table is having 3 records :-

It should return single value in this way
Style 1, Style 2, Style 3
I currently have some SQL code that is used to build a string that is a concatination of string values across multiple rows. The subqueries in the script sometimes return NULL values so I use the following statement to change the default behavior of the concatination operator which prevents my query from returning NULL:
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON
Here's the code snippet:
select DISTINCT
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t1.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=1 THEN ' ' + t1.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t1 WHERE (t1.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=1) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t2.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=2 THEN ' ' + t2.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t2 WHERE (t2.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=2) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t3.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=4 THEN ' ' + t3.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t3 WHERE (t3.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=4) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t4.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=8 THEN ' ' + t4.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t4 WHERE (t4.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=8) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t5.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=16 THEN ' ' + t5.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t5 WHERE (t5.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=16)) as 'Transaction Type'
FROM HDResponse HDR
Here's the underlying table structure:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TransactionTypes](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Description] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [MaskValue] [int] NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HDResponse](
[ResponseID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[LoggedDateTime] [datetime] NULL,
[ResponseTypeTripID] [int] NULL,

[CardID] [int] NULL,
[IssueCode] [smallint] NULL,
[EventDateTime] [datetime] NULL,
[Response] [bit] NULL,
[TranTypeID] [int] NULL)
ON [PRIMARY]
The problem I am having is I need to be able to use the query above in a view used for reporting. Unfortunately, you cannot use SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON in a view. This causes my query to return NULL if any of the subqueries return NULL. I could create a function to do something similar and reference the function in the query but I can't help but think there must be a way to get this done in a single query.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!!
Here is the problem.
I have table such as this
PK selection VARCHARPK selection_choice VARCHAR show BIT
When I use the sqlDataSource to create an update it creates this.UPDATE lu_selection_choices SET show = @show WHERE (selection = @selection) AND (selection_choice = @selection_choice)
Now this is OK, but when you perform an update and in say a details control you change the selection_choice the value of the parameter @selection_choice is going to be equal to the old data. So it performs a successful update on show which isn't being changed selection_choice is.
So the questions is. Is there anyway to tell the update function of the datasource to insert the a new parameter with the SET selection_choice = @SOME NEW PARAM slection_choice?
Thanks,

Hi everyone. I need help extracting information from a concatenated field delimited by a '/' character. I know that the logic is to basically find the position of the '/' character and use the substring function to extract the data but I am unfamiliar with how to do this in SQL Server 2000. Please see examples below. Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,I have an issue with a column I created in my query called Instance.SELECT Object_Id, Event_type, Audience, Subject, Provider, Academic_Year, Start_date, End_date, CONVERT(varchar, Academic_Year) + ' (' + CONVERT(varchar, Start_date, 103) + ') : ' + Event_type AS InstanceFROM EventsORDER BY Event_type Above is my query. The problem is because the start date column can be null, it also returns the Instance column as null for that row.I thought it would have just missed out the date and display the rest, but it doesn't.Is there any way I could get the Instance column to display a value, when the start date is null?ThanksEdit: Managed to sort it using ISNULL()

Is there a way to have my output return this, "$-2,778.90 $$$ IN NETWORK DISCOUNT", instead of what I am currently getting which is this "-2779 $$$ IN NETWORK DISCOUNT" using:
LTRIM(STR(ar_billtrans_payadj.amount)+ ' ' + '$$$' + ' ' + ut_journalcode.[description]) AS PPmtTypeDesc
ar_billtrans_payadj.amount datatype is decimal
ut_journalcod.[description] datatype is varchar
Greetings,I used to do this kind of query in Ingres, where I concatenate(+)various fields as one field and search accordingly.Is there an equivalent method in SQL server ?SELECT a.rsrcid,a.rsrchqnumber,c.perslastname,c.persfirst name,b.asgtid,b.asgtactualstartdate,b.asgtactualenddate ,CASE b.enumstateWHEN '2' THEN 'Running'WHEN '3' THEN 'Cancelled'WHEN '4' THEN 'Closed'WHEN '6' THEN 'Open'END AS statusFROM pblocal.dbo.resources aINNER JOIN pblocal.dbo.assignments b ON b.asgtrsrcguid = a.rsrcguidINNER JOIN pblocal.dbo.persons c ON c.persguid = a.rsrcpersguidWHERE a.rsrcid+a.rsrchqnumber+c.perslastname+c.persfirst name not in(SELECT e.rsrcid+e.rsrchqnumber+g.perslastname+g.persfirst nameFROM dtlocal.dbo.resources eINNER JOIN dtlocal.dbo.assignments f ON f.asgtrsrcguid = e.rsrcguidINNER JOIN dtlocal.dbo.users h ON h.userguid = e.rsrcuserguidINNER JOIN dtlocal.dbo.persons g ON g.persguid = h.userpersguid)
View 6 Replies View RelatedIf I load up a local variable defined as varchar(MAX) with a 10,000-character continuous string, i.e. '123456789.....100000' the variable retains the full value as expected. However, if I break that string up into '123456789....5000' + '5001...10000', the variable is truncated at 8000 characters.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks.
