I have a db that contains a column named DSCODES. Values in DSCODES are seperated by a comma.
If I run the following command.
select distinct(DSCODES) from DB
The following is returned.
S100,S102,S103
S100,S103,S105
What I would like returned is the following
S100
S102
S103
S105
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance

Hi All
I'm really new to SQL and would appreciate a solution to the following problem.
I have a table that contains 1 record. in that record there is a column called CODES which contains multiple values that are seperated by a comma.
C200,C201,C202,C204,C200,C203,C200,C202,C203,C205,C200,C202,C203,C204,C205,C206,C200,C201,C202
I need a solution to select all values from CODES that are distinct so I end up with the following.
C200,C201,C202,C203,C204,C205,C206
Any help would be really appreciated. Please bear in mind I'm a complet novice.
I am currently working on an application that requires, insertion of the results of a SQL Query in to the field of another table, in the form of a comma separated values.
For example, to explain things in detail:
create table dbo.phone_details
(country varchar(20),
state varchar(30),
list_of_toll_free_numbers text)
insert into dbo,phone_details
values
( 'USA', 'CA', 'select Phone from phone_table where substring(phone, 1, 3) in ('800', '866', '877', '888')' )
The final output I desire is:
country state list_of_toll_free_numbers
---------- ------- -----------------------------------------
USA CA 8009877654, 8665764398, 8776543219
I want to pull out some information for documenting my user accounts.I want to be able to show all of the users and what companies those users have access to.
The table which stores the company information lists it in multiple rows, so there will be many results for each user
user -- companyid
johnd -- 2
johnd -- 5
johnd -- 1
I want to select this into one record so it will show up like this
user -- companies
johnd -- 2,5,1
The only way I know how to do this would be with a sub-query that uses a cursor to loop through & dump it into one string value, and then output the string value to the field. This seems extremely inefficient for such a seemingly simple task.
Can somebody help me out here?
thanks
I need to get all distinct values from 10 different tables that exist in the field [favoritesport] Â And each table holds close to 50K records so I am looking at 500,000 records to get distinct values for. Â Would the fastest, less intrusive way of achieving this be to just create a UNION ALL so runÂ
Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table1
Union
Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table2
Union
Select Distinct([favoritesport]) from table3
etc etc etc
I have a problem when selecting distinct values from a table. I want to select those distinct numbers with a code that I want. To make it more clear i`ll show it on an example.I have the following table:
tel_no | code | id_res

0742062141 | a-not answer | 1
0742062141 | a-not answer | 2
0742062141 | c-answer | 3
0754231456 | a-not answer | 4
0754231456 | a-not answer | 5
When I use the following query it returns the distinct number but with the first code it finds:
select a.* from test_funnel as a
inner join
( select distinct tel_no,MIN(id_res) as id_res
from test_funnel
[code]....
Hello, I want to do a DISTINCT SELECT query with more than one field, for example a ID field with a Type field, as if both fields make the primary key, like (ID 1 ,Type 1) ,( ID 1, Type 2) and (ID 2, Type 1) is ok but not (ID 1, Type1) and (ID 1,Type 1) if its not possible to do a distinct with more than one then what other techniques are possible to get the duplicate data out. the reason why I want to use distinct is that I can use that query to export that data to where both of these fields make the primary key.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I have a table, which contains well over 30'000 rows. One of the Columns is for ransaction type, of which there are about 20-25 different types.
I am trying to pull a list of each type value, using a select distinct TSQL command...but thus far am unsuccessful.
Has anyone had a similar situation?? Am I wrong in using a Select Distinct?? Many thanks to all who reply!
I have a table in my MS SQL 2000 database called News which has a field caled NewsDate. This is a standard Date field which stores the info in this format: 3/1/2001.
I want to create a query that returns one row for each year that there is a story.
For example, if I had this data...
3/1/2001, 6/27/2003. 9/17/2003, 1/1/2006, 4/5/2006
the query would return this result:
2001
2003
2006
This is the query I've started with:
SELECT DISTINCT NewsDate FROM News ORDER BY NewsDate DESC
What modifier can I apply to the NewsDate field to extract JUST the year from the table? If this were ASP I would try something like Year(Date), but, of course, I can't do that here.
Is this even possible? I've been looking up date functions, but haven't found anything that will work in a select statement. ANY and ALL advice will be greatly appreciated.
I have a table 'wRelated' with the following columns
[related_id] [int]
[channel_id] [int]
[mui] [varchar]
[price_group_id]
[type_id] [int]
[related_mui] [varchar] (100)
[date_started] [smalldatetime]
[date_ended] [smalldatetime]
[date_entered] [datetime]
[deleted] [tinyint],
[rank] [int]
data in column [mui] is repeated as the table has more than one entries for the same [mui],
The requirement is to select the distinct[mui] but value in all the other columns for the same mui should be select in the next row with null for the same [mui]
The recordset expected should be something like this.
[mui],[related_mui],[price_group_id],[date_entered],[date_ended] m123,rm345,'pr','12-10-2003',12-12-2004'
null,rm789,'ar','12-1-2003',26-2-2004'
null,rm999,'xy','14-12-2002',12-2-2004'
m777,rm889,'pr','12-12-2004',12-12-2004'
null,rm785,'yy','1-10-2002',12-12-2004'
m888,rm345,'pr','2-8-2003',12-12-2004'
null,rm345,'tt','30-7-2002',12-12-2004'
I have tried Unions and temporary table inserts.
What is the best way? I have a field of comma seperated article type id values in a users profile. This list is a set of values that sows the article types the person does NOT want to see. Each article has an article type id. I need to do a select joining the article table to the member table that only shows those article id's that are not in the comma seperated list. How would I do that in a sql statement?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi I have a text field called testing which shows the selection the user has made from a checked list. I want to save the contents of testing to a datadase with coloum varchar and with a comma to seperate the selections.

When I test a query say select from table type where Category = beauy it gives nothing. How do I store it so sql would recognise it as seperate enteries.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
My SQL knowledge is limited so if I get stuff wrong then correct me... but I can imagine this task will be quite testing...
I am working on a system that logs ([Audit] table) the changes to fields on some tables using a Trigger on UPDATE. I need to produce a 'quick' report that returns the date when the tables overallStatus field was set to 1.
In the [Audit] table I can find all the field changes for the record in question using this SQL...
select *
from audit
where rowid = 1309606
order by auditID asc
My problem is filtering this data. The fields I need are formatted as below, see records returned, in ASC order...
audit.AuditID = 2652583
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-24 15:12:07.740
audit.ColumnDetail = 'estimatedProductionPriceactualProductionCost'
audit.EditDetail = '0.00000.0000'
audit.AuditID = 2658460
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-25 10:51:47.930
audit.ColumnDetail = 'overallStatusInsertionStatus'
audit.EditDetail = '05'
audit.AuditID = 2665723
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-25 22:06:50.200
audit.ColumnDetail = 'overallStatusdespatchDateInsertionStatus'
audit.EditDetail = '1Â 3'
audit.AuditID = 2711092
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-30 17:22:12.593
audit.ColumnDetail = 'overallStatusInsertionStatus'
audit.EditDetail = '34'
audit.AuditID = 2713217
audit.OperationTime = 2008-04-30 20:46:34.817
audit.ColumnDetail = 'clientOrderNumber'
audit.EditDetail = 'PAT12P7640'
The funny character, , is ASCII 127.
So need to find when 1309606's overallStatus was changed to 1. Manually looking at the data, I can see overallStatus was modified in 3 of the above 5 [Audit] records. It started life as 0, then went to 1 and then to 3. I'm aware that I need to look at the previous Audits date for when it was changed to the value I'm looking for... So it was changed to 1 on 2008-04-25 10:51:47.930.
What is the best way to approach this problem? I'm hoping to use T-SQL only and not have to use an external scripting language, unless I can embed vbscript or jscript inside a T-SQL function and then use arrays, etc?
Somehow I need to convert the ASCII(127) seperated list of fieldname into an array or list, find the index of the fieldname 'overallStatus' and then lookup that value in the datafield.
Hope that makes sense and any help would be great!
Cheers,
Nick
Hi all,
This is my table :
WorkstationNo UserID
101 a1
102 a2
103 a3
101 a2
and there are many other fields too. The output I need is something like this
WorsktationNo OccupiedBy
101 a1,a2
102 a2
103 a3
In the similar fashion I would also require to retrieve the values based on the UserID something like this
UserID Workstations
a1 101
a2 101,102
a3 103
Could someone tell me how to write the query for this.

Hi all sql gurus,
I have a table that has product name and submissionID and some other columns. I am really concerned about these two columns. My task is to get all the submissionIDs for a particular product name and display SubmissionIDs seperated by commas against each product name .
The tables below might give a better idea
current scenario:
Product Name SubmissionID columnC Column D
AAA 123
AAA 456
BBB 111
ccc 121
AAA 789
Expected result:
Product Name SubmissionID columnC Column D
AAA 123,456,789
BBB 111
CCC 121
Any suggestions/pointers would be highly appreciated.
Not sure the best way to do this. They are passing in a comma seperated string. I have a field that has comma seperated strings in it. I need to compare the 2 strings and do a select on that field that has any of the words in the string passed in. So if the pass...
"car,boat,van"
and in the field 2 of the 3 records get sent back
car,train,bike
boat,truck,plane
bike,plane,train
I would send them back the top 2 because the top one contains car and the second contains boat
I cannot in the life of me understand what goes wrong here... In a webapplication (C#.NET) I traced an inability to retrieve existing records to SQL Server, where I cannot do the same either. The problem is that in the parameterized query, some fields can be null, and thus when the corresponding fields in the database record are null also, they should be selected. But this won't happen for some reason.
I wrote a test SQL statement that gives me the same bogus:
DECLARE @institution int, @collection int, @serialnr int, @subnr nvarchar(50)SET @institution = 1 SET @collection = 1SET @serialnr = 240 SET @subnr = NULLSELECT ID, Institution, Collection, SerialNumber, SubNumber, AccessionYear, Sagsnummer, DanekraeNr, TaxonIdentified, Stratigraphy, TypeStatus, PlacementRoom, PlacementCabinet, PlacementDrawer, UnitNotesFROM SpecimensWHERE (Institution = @institution) AND (Collection = @collection) AND (SerialNumber = @serialnr) AND (SubNumber = @subnr)
Now there is at least one row with corresponding fields values (1, 1, 240, null), but it won't be selected! What is wrong!?
I need to run a SELECT DISTINCT query acrossmultiple fields, but I need to add another field that is NON-DISTINCTto my record set.Here is my query:SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, genderFROM gpresultsWHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis query runs perfect. No problems whatsoever. However, I need toalso include another field called "admitdate" that should be treatedas NON-DISTINCT. How do I add this in to the query?I've tried this but doesn't work:SELECT admitdateFROM (SELECT DISTINCT lastname, firstname, middleinitial, address1,address2, city, state, zip, age, gender from gpresults)WHERE age>='18' and serviceline not in ('4TH','4E','4W')and financialclass not in ('Z','X') and age not in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')and (CAST (ADMITDATE AS DATETIME) >= DATEDIFF(day, 60, GETDATE()))ORDER BY zipThis has to be simple but I do not know the syntax to accomplishthis.Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I have the following script segment which is failing:
CREATE TABLE #LatLong (Latitude DECIMAL, Longitude DECIMAL, PRIMARY KEY (Latitude, Longitude))
INSERT INTO #LatLong SELECT DISTINCT Latitude, Longitude FROM RGCcache
When I run it I get the following error: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#LatLong__________7CE3D9D4'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#LatLong'."
Im not sure how this is failing as when I try creating another table with 2 decimal columns and repeated values, select distinct only returns distinct pairs of values.
The failure may be related to the fact that RGCcache has about 10 million rows, but I can't see why.
Any ideas?
Okay, I've been working on this for a couple of hours with no success. I'm trying to find the number of telephone numbers that are associated with multiple students at different school sites. I've created a temp table that lists all phone numbers that are associated with more than one student. I'm now trying to query that table and count the number of telephone numbers that are associated with more than one site. Essentially, I'm looking for parent/guardians that have students at different sites.
Here's an example of what I'm hoping to accomplish:
*In this example, I'm just trying to get a count of the different/distinct school sites associated with each number. If I can, at the same time, limit it to a count of > 1 (essentially excluding parents with students at the same site), even better :)
