SQL Server 2012 :: Splitting One Row Into Multiple
Aug 27, 2014
I'm quite new to SQL. I'm able to extract the info that I need, but only into a result of one row, like:
Order header | Order details
ID | Customer name | Customer address | Product number | Product name | Quantity | Price | Product number | Product name | Quantity | Price
2 Andy Andy's way 2 24 Glue 3 35 39 Oyster 2 9
Looking for returning multiple entries from a time span. I have a date, start-time, end-time and duration. I need the start-times separated in a list. It's fine if temp tables are needed - I have that clearance.
I have a description field in a table which also stores unit of measure in the same column but with some space between them, I need to split these into two different columns.
So we have new servers that are going to be installed with SQL 2012 and I'm debating the wisdom of splitting tempdb with multiple files.
I know it's a myth that performance automatically improves if you split it into a number of files based on processors, but I'm debating the wisdom of putting a file on each of my data / log file drives.
For instance, I have a server with a C: drive (OS), D: drive (Data for system DBs and install of programs - 458 GB), an F: drive for user DB data files (767 GB), and a J: drive for log files (255 GB).
Obviously no files are going on C:. I'm debating on whether or not we should even leave system DBs on the D: drive given in our current 2k8 servers, we end up with Memory.dmp files over flowing the D: drives as well as .cabs and other install / update files that tend to collect on that drive over the years.
But if we leave the system DBs on D:, I'm wondering if adding a second tempdb file to F: and a third to J: will improve query performance or not.
What I need is split the data into two columns if data in column Main starts with 'PR-' then output result to column P and if it starts with 'CC-' then to column C (the output needs to be in one table).
Currently I have a column with multiple postcodes in one value which are split with the “/” character along with the corresponding location data. What I need to do is split these postcode values into separate rows while keeping their corresponding location data.
I have to split a column using comma a delimiter into multiple columns. I am able to do it if i know how many column will be present in the final output. But in daily run, the columns may vary randomly.
how to split columns without hardcoding how many columns it ll come.
This is the code am using
Code: WITH Split_Names (Fil_id,Name, xmlname) AS ( SELECT Fil_ID,
all the columns are separated with a "|" but the amount of columns are not fixed, so in lines 1 & 2 they are 4 columns and in line 3 there is 7 columns
I'm creating a web-based NT RAS report site and am looking for the most efficient way to import the data from NT Event log into SQL2k. I'm using the 'dumpel' utility from rsc kit and all is fine except the 10th column - the message detail:
"The user DOMAINuserid connected on port Mdm15 on 08/23/2002 at 07:25am and disconnected on 08/23/2002 at 07:27am. The user was active for 2 minutes 23 seconds. 78809 bytes were sent and 50675 bytes were received. The port speed was 49300."
I need to parse this one long text string into 6 distinct columns: userID, port, duration, bytes_xmt, bytes_rcv and portspeed. After a quick review of the rowsets, the strings seem to hold a consistent output ... no real variances I can see.
I've dablled with views but am facing a small performance issue that could get bigger: The sql server not only has to run the text file import package, but also the view to format the text dump into a workable dataset, then my report code bangs over 30 queries against the final dataset. It already takes our SQL2k server over 3 minutes to parse about 20,000 rows and the server's a beast (dual 1.8 p4 cpu, 3gb ram, raid, etc).
What I think would work best is to abandon the view (performance will only get worse as the row count increases) and instead INSERT the rows into one table.
Any ideas anyone? any good scripts out there that can help me to parse the long text string quicker that using substring and replace functions?
I have a large poorly designed table (inherited) With a Name field that contains comma delimited text containing address information. I need to do several things with it but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any true consistency in it. When it displays in its own text box it works by placing each section on a new Line and looks ok.But I need to pull it apart and place things like unit number, Building Name in its own column etc. In the data it could be in either the 2nd,3rd, 4th, dependent on what came 1st. the data looks some thing like the following
unitNumber/StreetNumber Space StreetName (Building Name), Subub,City,Country
Some addresses won't have unit number or Suburb or country so when splitting you could have Suburbs and Citys in multiple columns even if you try and stagger the split process.Has any body go a good tool or reference site for dealing for this sort of problem. I have a table that I have made up that has some of the street names that could be used for comparing against existing records but it is by no means fool proof due to spelling inconsistencies . I also have another list of Common building names that could be used to compare, remove and place in the new building column.

SUBSTRING(@s, start, CASE WHEN stop > 0 THEN stop-start ELSE 512 END) AS s
FROM Pieces
)
This works very well, other than instances of the delimter are, themselves, considered to be results. For example:
SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', 'foo bar') AS result returns: pn s 1 foo 2 bar
which is exactly the result I would want.
However, SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', ' foo bar ') AS result -- There are spaces before 'foo' and after 'bar' returns pn s 1 2 foo 3 bar 4
And SELECT * FROM vs_SplitTags(' ', 'foo bar') AS result -- There are two spaces between 'foo' and 'bar' returns pn s 1 foo 2 3 4 bar
I want the function to ignore whitespace altogether, be it a single space or multiple spaces. Other than to delimit the boundries between words, of course.
In other words, all three examples above should produce the same result: pn s 1 foo 2 bar
How can I do this? Any thoughts much appreciated...
I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1]( [BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL, [PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?
I have a very interesting problem in T-SQL coding for which I can't figure out the solution. Actually there is a Line_1_Address column in our data warehouse address table which is being populated from various sources. Some sources have already concatenated house number + street address fields in the Line_1_Address column whereas one source has separated columns for both data fields.
Now I'm trying to extract data from this data warehouse table and I need to split the house number from street address and load it into separate columns in my destination table. In case there is no data for house number then I should load it as NULL.
The issue is that data in this Line_1_Address column is very inconsistent so I don't know which functions to use. Here is some sample data for your consideration:
Line_1_Address 101 E Commerce ST 120 E Commerce ST 2 Po Box 301 W. Bel Air Ave West Main Street, PO Box 1388
I'm a non-programmer and an SQL newbie. I'm trying to create a printer usage report using LogParser and SQL database. I managed to export data from the print server's event log into a table in an SQL2005 database.
There are 3 main columns in the table (PrintJob) - Server (the print server name), TimeWritten (timestamp of each print job), String (eventlog message containing all the info I need). My problem is I need to split the String column which is a varchar(255) delimited by | (pipe). Example:
2|Microsoft Word - ราย?ารรับ.doc|Sukanlaya|HMb1_SD_LJ2420|IP_192.10.1.53|82720|1
The first value is the job number, which I don't need. The second value is the printed document name. The third value is the owner of the printed document. The fourth value is the printer name. The fifth value is the printer port, which I don't need. The sixth value is the size in bytes of the printed document, which I don't need. The seventh value is the number of page(s) printed.
How I can copy data in this table (PrintJob) into another table (PrinterUsage) and split the String column into 4 columns (Document, Owner, Printer, Pages) along with the Server and TimeWritten columns in the destination table?
In Excel, I would use combination of FIND(text_to_be_found, within_text, start_num) and MID(text, start_num, num_char). But CHARINDEX() in T-SQL only starts from the beginning of the string, right? I've been looking at some of the user-defind-function's and I can't find anything like Excel's FIND().
Or if anyone can think of a better "native" way to do this in T-SQL, I've be very grateful for the help or suggestion.
Right now I have to do something like this and it is time consuming every time I have to query a specific table...
SELECT lots_of_columns FROM table WHERE (column5 = '1' OR column6 = '1' OR column7 = '1' OR column8 = '1' OR column9 = '1' OR column10 = '1' OR column11 = '1' OR column12 = '1') AND other_query_critiera_here
Typing out the OR statement gets long, time consuming and prone to errors because that first where line with all the ORs can sometimes have 20+ ORs in it. As some insight, the columns are text columns, sometimes they have data, sometimes they are NULL. Sometimes they have the same data (i.e., column5 and column6 and column12 could both have '1' as values).
How do I SELECT multiple nodes with same name but different attributes. For example, I would need to SELECT NM1.03.1 from <NM1> node. How do I specify which one I want to SELECT? What if I want to SELECT them all? What if I only want two of them?
I came across this structure today and haven't seen it before:
SELECT blablabla FROM T1 FULL OUTER JOIN T2 ON T1.Col1 = T2.Col1 AND T1.Col2 = T2.Col2 ON T3.Col1 = T1.Col1 AND T3.Col2 = T1.Col2 ON T4.Col1 = T1.Col1 AND T4.Col2 = T1.Col2
Basically if the type code is 1 one then move the data to column phone1, if the type is 2 then move it to column phone2.
This would be fairly simple if we always have type codes 1 and 2. But sometimes we can have type 1 and not type 2, or we could have type 2 and not type1.
Right now we only have 2 type codes. But, in the future we could be adding a 3rd type. So that would add a 3rd column (phone3).
Below is my code that I have written. I move the data into a temp table then list it. I am thinking of making this a view to my table. It works just fine. My question is, is there a better and more efficient way of doing this?
CREATE TABLE #Contacts ( id INT PRIMARY KEY, phone1 VARCHAR(15), phone2 VARCHAR(15) )
-- Insert the records for type 1
INSERT INTO #Contacts SELECT id, phone_num, NULL FROM test1 WHERE type_code = '1'
-- Insert the records for type 2, if the id does not exist for type 1
INSERT INTO #Contacts SELECT id, NULL, phone_num FROM test1 WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM #Contacts WHERE #Contacts.id = test1.id ) AND test1.type_code = '2'
-- if the id has both type 1 and 2, update the phone2 column with the data from type 2
UPDATE #Contacts SET phone2 = test1.phone_num FROM #contacts JOIN test1 ON test1.id = #Contacts.id WHERE type_code = '2' SELECT id, phone1, phone2 FROM #Contacts DROP TABLE #Contacts
How I could accomplish taking several rows for one account and concatenate them into one row, for example I have account_num, invoice_date, transaction_num, msg_counter,Message_2,SQL_LAST_UPDATE the special characters &,",!,$,# are used to determine the Message_2 content for a given account_number that are supposed to be together.
I am needing to put all of that accounts_messages in one row to display on a report, the table I am pulling this data from only has a varchar(40) for the message_2, a proprietary source so can't change that length, "I'VE ASKED THEM TO DO THIS, AND THEY REFUSED". So my only option is to insert this data into my table and create a single Message_2 for that account.

I am using Server 2012 and very new to SQL. I have a request from a physician for a list of his patients that meet a criteria. This is stored in a temp table names #cohort.
Using this cohort he wants each row to be one patient with a list of labs, vitals, etc. Three items are the most recent lab value and date. I could query each lab individually and place it into a temp table and then join all temp tables at the end, but I am trying to move past that and have all labs in one temp table. All temp tables are joined with PatientSID.
I tried to do something for just 2 labs, but it is not working. There could be nulls values when joined with the #cohort table.
Individually the SELECT statements pull in the most recent lab value and date, but I cannot get them into a temp table with one row of PatientSID and then the lab value and date if they exist.
IF OBJECT_ID ('TEMPDB..#lab') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #lab SELECT cohort.PatientSID ,SubQuery1.LabChemResultNumericValueAS 'A1c%' ,SubQuery1.LabChemCompleteDateTimeAS 'A1c% Date' ,SubQuery2.LabChemResultNumericValueAS 'LDL'
I was told that if I wanted to setup mirroring between multiple instance on the same server that each endpoint had to be different number. Is that true? Or can I use the default 5022 for each instance?
I have a dataset where i want to select the records that matches my input values. But i only want to try macthing a field in my dataset aginst the input value, if the dataset value is not NULL.
I always submit all 4 input values.
@Tyreid, @CarId,@RegionId,@CarAgeGroup
So for the first record in the dataset i get a succesfull output if my input values matches RegionId and CarAgeGroup.
I cant figure out how to create the SQl script for this SELECT?
OrderID ControlName 1 Row1COlumn1 (It Means Pant in Red Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table)) 1 Row3Column1 (It Means Gown in Blue Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table)) 1 Row4Column3 (It Means T Shirt in White Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table)) 2 Row1Column2 (It Means Tie in Green Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table)) 2 Row3Column1 (It Means Bow in Red Color is selected by user(relation with Child2 Table))
Child2 Table
PackageID Product Color1 Color2 Color3 1 Pant Red Green Blue 1 Shirt Blue Pink Purple 1 Gown Blue Black Yellow 1 T Shirt Red Green White 2 Tie Red Green White 2 Socks Red Green White 2 Bow Red Green White
We want to have result like
OrderID PackageID CustomerName Pant Gown T Shirt Tie Bow
1 1 ABC Red Blue White x x Blue 2 2 Bcd x x x Green Red
I have tried
;with mycte as ( select ms.OrderID,ms.PackageID ,ms.CustomerName , Replace(stuff([ControlName], charindex('Column',ControlName),len(ControlName),''),'Row','') rowNum ,Replace(stuff([ControlName], 1, charindex('Column',ControlName)-1 ,''),'Column','') columnNum From child1 c inner join MasterTable ms on c.Orderid=ms.orderid)
[code]....
it works if we have a product in one color only. like if we have pant in red and blue then its showing just first record
