Hi
This is probably a very basic question for most people in this group.
How do i split the data in a column in to 2 columns? This can be done in access with an update query but in MS SQL server I am not sure.
Here is an example of what i want to acheive
FName
John?Doe
FName LName
John Doe
thanks for the help

I like to push 1 column into 2 different columns just to show it on the screen. So no import in another table ore something like that.
I have a table like this:
Select Name from Cars;
Result:
Col1

But i like to make a query so it is displayed like this:
Col1 Col2

So i can bound a table directly to that column!Is this possible with SQL, and how can i build it.Thanks.

I have a table with a string value, where all values are seperated by a space/blank. I now want to use SQL to split all the values and insert them into a different table, which then later will result in deleting the old table, as soon as I got all values out from it.
Old Table:
Code:
ID, StringValue
New Table:
Code:
ID, Value1, Value2
Do note: Value1 is INT, Value2 is of nvarchar, hence Value2 can contain spaces... I just need to split on the FIRST space, then convert index[0] to int, and store index[1] as it is.
I can split on all spaces and just Select them all and add them like so: SELECT t.val1 + ' ' + t.val2... If I cant find the first space that is... I mean, first 2-10 characters in the string can be integer, but does not have to be.Shall probably do it in code instead of SQL?Now I want to run a query that selects the StringValue from OldTable, splits the string by ' ' (a blank) and then inserts them into New Table.
Code:
SELECT CASE CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1)
WHEN 0 THEN OldTable.stringvalue
ELSE SUBSTRING(OldTable.stringvalue, 1, CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) - 1)
END
AS FirstWord
FROM OldTable
Found an example using strange things like CHARINDEX..But issue still remains, because the first word is of integer, or it does not have to be...If it isn't, there is not "first value", and the whole string shall be passed into "value2".How to detect if the very first character is of integer type?
Code:
@declare firstDigit int
IF ISNUMERIC(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) = 1
set @firstDigit = CAST(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int)
ELSE
set @firstDigit = -1

I have a delimited text file with 650+ columns. The sum of the column lengths of a single row, if fully populated, exceeds 30K bytes. The "killer" fields lengthwise are the "Description" fields. If they were removed from the input file, the remainig columns would occupy about 5000 bytes, which is within SQL max row length.
Can SSIS be used to created these two tables? (one without description fields, the other with those field but arranged vertically in the table rows).
The fundamental issue is I can not import a single file row into a sql table because that row length could exceed the max byte count for a row.
I’m trying to figure out a way to sum columns for similar IDs, based on the contents of a single field. For example, if I’m calculating attendance percentages for students, and codes P and T count as Present, and codes A and E count as Absent, I would want to total Present and Absent codes separately, in their own columns. I would then like to use those totals to calculate percentage, but I can do that. It’s the SUM based on column value (by ID) that is giving issue.
If I have the following view:
IDLNFNCDTotal
123456MearsBenP12
123456MearsBenA2
123456MearsBenT6
234567NortonSusanP15
234567NortonSusanA2
234567NortonSusanT2
234567NortonSusanE1
I would like something like this:
IDLNFNPresentAbsentPercentage
123456MearsBen18290.0
234567NortonSusan17385.0
I’ve been playing around with nested queries, but nothing’s working. This is a glimpse of the mess that I’ve created trying to sort this out. Many errors.
I just noticed that I used a simpler example than the SQL I included, so I modified it a bit. There are additional fields that I'll need to include, but I want to get the logic working correctly. From there, I can handle the rest. So here's a more appropriate code example showing the direction I'm trying to go with this.
SELECT ID, [Last Name], [First Name], CD, Present, Absent, CAST(LEFT(Present / (Absent + Present) * 100, 5) AS varchar) + '%' AS Percentage
FROM (SELECT ID, CD, TotalAHD, CAST
((SELECT SUM(TotalAHD) AS Expr1
FROM SumAHDforAttndPercentages AS p
[Code] ...
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
I have a table which has single column like this.
REP5426 02-28-08 0592 00100028 CAFE 00205415 23.77 A O INPUT
REP5426 02-28-08 0592 00100028 CAFE 00580910 475.58 A O INPUT

Suppose that I have a table with following values

P3456 C935876 T675

I have a field in a table that contains addresses e.g
15 Green Street
5F Brown Steet
127 Blue Street
1512 Red Road
I want to output the numbers into one column and the address to another column as i need to produce a report that only shows streets and roads but no numbers.
So basically no matter how many characters before the first space which can be numbers or letters i want these output into two columns.
I have data:
Ticket User Priority
A ME 1
B ME 1
C ME 2
C ME 3
D ME 2
E YOU 2
F YOU 1
G ME 3
H YOU 2
H YOU 3
I ME 1
Essentially if Ticket and User are the same I just want the min priority returned.
SO:
Ticket User Priority
A ME 1
B ME 1
C ME 2
D ME 2
E YOU 2
F YOU 1
G ME 3
H YOU 2
I ME 1

Actually i have 2 questions (regarding sql-server Indices/Keys):
1) I have an index, which is consisted of 4 columns.
I've read elsewhere that this index functions (as well) as an index (single column
index) on the first column of this multi-column index.
Does this mean that if i'd like to have (in addition) Indices on all of the 4 columns
seperately i need to define only 3???
2) I have a unique key consisted of multiple columns.
I'd like to save an index to this combination of columns as well (to speed up
things in DB...).
Does the definition of a multiple-columns key free me from defining the multiple-
columns index???
can anyone explain the main diference between Keys and Indices???
I have embedded a subreport in the detail section of my report. When I view the subreport in page preview mode it renders with three columns, but when it is rendered w/in the main report in page preview mode the 3 column layout is rendered as a single verticle column.
I've defined the columns in the Body/Columns. I have also set the report inteactivesize and pagesize heights in an attempt to remedy the issue. Margins are set to 0.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a scenario which I am not able to figure out how to do it better for quite some time.
Assume I have a few rows of data :
RunningID Date WOid
1234 1/23/2007 23
1236 1/24/2007 23
1239 1/2/2007 24
1222 1/4/2007 23
1321 2/4/2007 22
My objective is to merge all RunningID into a single cell when WOid is the same (this will most probably use a "group by" to get the different WOid out). Maybe some aggregate function that can do it as:
select ReturnConca(RunningID, "#") as RunningID_str, max(Date) as MaxDate, max(WOid) as WO from tableXXX
group by WOid
Results:
RunningID_str MaxDate WO
1234#1236#1222 1/24/2007 23
1239 1/2/2007 24
1321 2/4/2007 22
Any advise would be much appreciated.
