Thanking you in advance for your help.
Hello!!
First of all, thank you in advance for helping me!!!
My problem is that I have a BBDD with a table like this (in Oracle and in MySql, both)
E.g.
+---------+-----------+
| groupId | serviceId |
+---------+-----------+
| grup1 | service1 |
| grup1 | service2 |
| grup1 | service3 |
| grup2 | service1 |
| grup2 | service2 |
+---------+-----------+
And I need to do a select o a procedure or something that returns me something like this:
+---------+------------------------------------------+
| groupId | serviceId |
+---------+------------------------------------------+
| grup1 | service1, service2, service3 |
+---------+------------------------------------------+
Is this possible in any way????
Than you very very much.

I have some column values:-
employee_salary | dept
30000 1
35000 1

I need employee-salary in one row separated by comma by executing a sql query i.e
dept1_salary
30000, 40000, 50000
Hi,
I have a table of users, a table of categories, and a many-to-many table linking users to categories.
My problem is that I want to select all the users with an extra column containing a comma-separated list of the categories they belong to.
Here is a stripped-down version of the table fields:
tbl_User
UserId, Email
tbl_Category
CatId, CatName
tbl_User_Category
UserId, CatId
I have tried using the coalesce function to build a string, but can only get this to work for one row at a time:
DECLARE @list nvarchar(100)
SELECT @list = COALESCE(@list + ', ', '') + CAST(CatId AS varchar(4))
FROM tbl_User_Category
WHERE UserId = @UserId
SELECT @list as List
Any ideas on how to add to this to get it to do each row in tbl_Page? Or am I attacking this from the wrong angle?????
Any help would be fantastic!
thanks,
Rob
How do I get the values of a column from a table separated by a comma.
For example
Suppose I have a table with column Levels (below), I want the values of the corresponding column separated by a comma, so that I can use this in a different query to pull these values from a different table
Levels
Level1Name
Level1Value
Level2Name
Level2Value
Result should look like
Level1Name, Level1Value, Level2Name, Level2Value
Thanks

Hi,
I want a column in a database table to store comma separated values.
So can I store it as a string type(varchar,nchar) using commas?
What are the other alternatives provided in Sql Server 2005

Set @CID='6,7,8,9'
Set @KID='A,BB,CCC,DDDD'
--Now my requirement is to get them in a temp table with 3 column and different rows as per comma separated values in variables.

Hi All
I am working on a query to get all the datetime values in a column in a table into a comma separated text.
eg.

I wanted to get something like
2005-11-09, 2005-11-13, 2005-11-14, 2005-11-16
Have just started SQL and hence am getting confused in what I think should be a relatively simple query. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
Hi,I'm sure this is a common problem.. to create a single field from awhole column, where each row would be separated by a comma.I can do this for a specified table, and column.. and I've created afunction using VBA to achieve a more dynamic (and very slow) solution..so I would like to implement it using a user defined function in sql server.The problems I'm facing are, that I can't use dynamic sql in afunction.. and I also can't use temporary tables which could build up a'standard' table from parameters given to then perform the function on.So, with these limitations, what other options do I have?Cheers,Chris

I have a table called geofence. It has a primary key geofence_id. Each geofence consists of a set of latitudes and latitudes.
So I defined two columns latitude and longitude and their type is varchar. I want to store all latitude/longitude values as a comma separated values in latitude/longitude columns
So in general how do people implement these types of requirements in relational databases?

Consider the following data:
create table #test
(id int
,color varchar(20)
)
insert into #test
(id, color)
values
(1, 'blue'),(2, 'red'),(3,'green'),(4,'red,green')
if I wanted to run a query to select any records that had red in the color field, how would I do that? Not the one with only red, but a query that would give me both record number 2 and record number 4.
Hi There,
Can anybody suggest me what is the best way to take a column with comma separated stings and output them into multiple columns with strings?
for example if I have a column with "watertown, newton" as a string, I need to separate them to two columns with watertown and newton values?
Is Derived column transformation the best way to do it?
Thanks.

I have a table that is used to build rules. The rules point to other columns in other tables and usually contain only one value (i.e. ABC). But one of the options is to add a comma-separated list of SSNs (i.e. 123123123,012012012,112231122). I am trying to build a single query that allows me to leverage that list to get multiple rows from another table.
This obviously works:
SELECT * FROM vw_Person_Profile P (NOLOCK)
WHERE P.PrsnPIISSN_Chr IN ('123123123','012012012','112231122')
But this does not:
SELECT * FROM vw_Person_Profile P (NOLOCK)
WHERE P.PrsnPIISSN_Chr IN (
SELECT '''' + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(4000),txtFieldValue), ',', ''',''') + ''''
FROM MassProcessing_Rules PR
WHERE PR.intRuleID = 10
)
I have one sp which has param name as cordinatorname varchar(max)
In where condition of my sp i passed as
coordinator=(coordinatorname in (select ltrim(rtrim(value)) from dbo.fnSPLIT(@coordinatorname,',')))
But now my promblm is for @coordinatorname i have values as 'coorcinator1', 'coordinato2,inc'
So when my ssrs report taking these values as multiselect, comma seperated coordinator2,inc also has comma already.
I have data in the below format .
NameValuecategory
AAA510
BBB510
CCC510
DDD512
EEE512
FFF512
I want the result in the below format
NAMEValuecategory
AAA,BBB,CCC510
DDD,EEE,FFF5120
I have tried stuff but all six values(AAA...FFF) are coming in one row , however i need them as per the category.
I have a file which contains comma separated columns. One of columns contains names of companies. Sometimes the names of the companies have a comma as part of the name. For those, the value is surrounded by double-quotes.
But it seems that SSIS ignores the double quotes and ONLY looks for the column separator. This causes my value to be split in half.
Traditionally, I thought parsers that deal with this type of import do not automatically take the first comma following the double-quote as the column separator but instead look for the first comma following the ending quote. (i.e. Look at how Excel performs imports...)
I cannot set the column separator of the column to double-quote comma since only those values that HAVE a comma in them are qualified.
Any ideas?
Here is sample fie content to see what I mean:
342123, Jason, 12345
21, Kim,4567
32.43, John Paul, 1245
23, "Mr. T", 98764
12, "Peter, Paul, Mary", 09643
The last entry should be imported as 12 in the first column, "Peter, Paul, Mary" in the second column and 09643 in the third but instead ends up as 12 in the first, "Peter in second column and Paul, Mary", 09643 in the last.
(Oddly enough, if I remove the first column of numbers the import works like it is supposed.)
Suppose I have a table like this
code Value
1 a
1 a
1 b
2 c
2 c
1 d
2 g
Now my require ment that I want a distinct comma separated report about these data.Means for code 1 I need a comma separated distinct values.In this case it should be a,b,d
My output should be like this
1 a,b,d
2 c,g
Can anybody help me I can I do this with the help of a cursor or any other way?

I’m passing a comma separated parameter (home, world, child) into stored procedure.
I have a Slitter function which is basically creates a table out of delimited list.
My stored procedure needs to find matched records in one of the table based on delimited list.
I have something like this:
SELECT *
FROM Word
WHERE WordName IN (SELECT * FROM dbo.fxSplitter('home,world,child, ',')
I would like to have my stored procedure be able to select rows, even if comma delimited parameter holds part of the name like this “hom, wor, chil� .
Another words it will be SELECT * FROM Word WHERE WordName LIKE '%hom%' OR WordName LIKE '%wor%' OR WordName LIKE '%chil%'
I have a checkbox list on datalist as one column. when user selects more than one checkbox and click on apply. i concatenate IDs of checkboxes as '1,2'3' for e.g. and sending that to Stroe Procedure as varchar datatype parametrer.

How can i do this task?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I need your advice.
Here's my scenario.
Table A
------------
id name
100 apple
115 grape
125 tomato
145 melon
Table B
-------------
id Fruits
11 100, 115, 145
12 125, 115
13 100
I thought i could get the list of fruits using this statement:
select name
from A where id IN (select fruits from B where id = 11)
But apparently not, it's working if
select name
from A where id IN (select fruits from B where id = 13)
That means it does not recognize values seperated by comma. Anyone who has any idea how to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to see the following comma separated sql statement using 'print' but it is throwing error "incorrect syntax near ','".
declare @csv varchar(max)
set @csv = '535,232'
print ''Select *
from tbl
where ',' + @csv + ',' like '%,' + mainid + ',%'''
What the difference between the following two codes in where clause?
The both provides the same resultset for me.
alter procedure
@fieldname varchar(50)
as
begin
select field1, field2 from table1
where ',' + @fieldname + ',' like '%,' + field3 + ',%'
end
The second code :
alter procedure
@fieldname varchar(50)
as
begin
select field1, field2 from table1
where @fieldname like '%' + field3 + '%'
end

I have a table called evidence, which has the following Fields
| evidence_id | Description| Standards|
E001 blagh 1.1,1.2,1.3
Ok I am trying to search the comma-separated string in the standards field using the like clause so I can display the evidence_id.
SQL looks like
SELECT Evidence.Standards, *
FROM Evidence
WHERE (((Evidence.Standards) Like '%1.1%'));
However it will not search through the list and select for example if I change 1.1 to 1.2. The commas wont allow it.
It works if I just have one item in the list that is just 1.1. Can anyone help me to search a comma-separated string for a certain string?
Thanks

Hello!
We are on SqlServer 2005.
Let me point out at the beginning that I don't have anyway to normalize this structure or get the admins to change the way the data is stored. We don't own the database where this is housed...we're just given the information via an .xls file...which we import to a SQLServer table.
I have some data that is given to me that has two columns (below is for an example):
Column A is an identifiying number, i.e. for a project
Column B is a comma separated list of account strings for the project
A sample layout of what we get via the .xls file might look like the following (Column A is to the left of the dashes, and Column B is to the right of the dashes):
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 2222, 3333, 4444, 5555
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- X900, 6789, 9000, 9876
What I need to do is now haveprojects listed out in Column A with each of it's account strings in Column B like so:
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 2222
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 3333
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 4444
AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 5555
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- X900
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- 6789
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- 9000
BB.ProjectBuildFence ----- 9876
Any suggestions would greatly help!

I have the following SQL Query:
SELECT user_profiles.userFirstName, user_profiles.userInitial, user_profiles.userLastName, user_types.userTypeDesc, user_profiles.userOfficeIDs, user_profiles.userEmail
FROM user_profiles
INNER JOIN user_types ON user_types.userTypeID = user_types.userTypeID
The field userOfficeID contains a comma separated list of values such as "1,2" to identify that the user is in both the NJ and NY office.
Table office_locations
OfficeID officeState
1 NJ
2 NY
3 CT
I would like the output to be something similar to:
Name Office userOfficeIDs value
John Smith NJ 1
Mary Smith NJ/NY 1,2
Jim Smith NJ/CT 1,3
Mike Smith NY 2
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
I just learned to use following query to convert columns to rows separated by comma.
Here is that :
Declare @list varchar(max)
select @list = isnull(@field+ ',','') + columname from table1
select @list
This produces the output I want but I'm confused with the statement. I just learnt it by heart. I don't know the meaning of it particular for the statement "select @list = isnull.............. from table1" . What exactly it does to give the desired output?
