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,

EXAMPLE
PORT CODE SFX NAME NIGHT SIG_GRP
A B C D E F
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.
For Eg:
Description
APPEARANCE UNIT
BDV KV
DENSITY KG/L
How do I write a query using the split function for the following requirement.I have a table in the following way
Identity Name Col1 Col2 Col3
1 Test1 1,2,3 200,300,400 3,4,6
2 Test2 3,4,5 300,455,600 2,3,8
I want an output in the following format
Identity Name Col1 Col2 Col3
1 Test1 1 200 3
1 Test1 2 300 4
1 Test1 3 400 6
2 Test2 3 300 2
2 Test2 4 455 3
2 Test2 5 600 8
If you see the data, first element in col1 is matched to first element in col2 and 3 after splitting the string.
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?
TIA:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hi
I have a table which has data "dumped" into it nightly and i need to create a "clean" table. Below are some sample rows:
1|name1|john|1234
2|name2|fred|2378
DS|address1|address2|postcode|telephoneno|area|propertytype
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
thanks in advanced

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

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello All,
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.
Thanks a bunch in advance,

Hi,
I have multiple columns in a Single Table and i want to search values in different columns. My table structure is
col1 (identity PK)
col2 (varchar(max))
col3 (varchar(max))
I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3.
suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as
SELECT
TBL.col2,TBL.col3
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2
ON
TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]
Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.
I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information.
for e.g.;
i was thinking to concatinate both fields like
col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA
and in search i use
SELECT
TBL.col4
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result = 1 row
But it don't work in following scenario
col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA
SELECT
TBL.col4
FROM
TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON
TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result=0 Row
Any idea how i can write second query to get result?
LeaveEntitlementID PeriodID LeaveType EmployeeID NumberOfDays
1 1 Annual 1 10
2 1 Annual 1 10
3 1 Sick 2 10
4 2 Sick 2 10
5 2 Sick 2 10
I have the above table (LeaveEntitlement) which has the above columns.
What I want to sum the column NumberOfDays based on EmployeeID, LeaveType and PeriodID columns as of LeaveTypeNumberOfDays.
For example sum(NumberOfDays) where PeriodID=1 and EmployeeID=1 and LeaveType=Annual
The result should be shown in new column name AnnualLeave (20)
sum(NumberOfDays) where PeriodID=1 and EmployeeID=1 and LeaveType=Sick
The result should be shown in new column name SickLeave (10)
Same all leave Types
The table should be shown as the below after executing the query
LeaveEntitlementID PeriodID EmployeeID AnnualLeave SickLeave
1 1 1 20 0
2 1 2 0 10
3 2 2 0 20
is it possible in sql server

My first ASP.NET/SQL project. I'm creating an Asset Management DB. I wish to view the Asset number, the full name of the user it's assigned to and the Make and Model of each record in the DB. However assets are split into different categories e.g. monitors, PCs, Preinters etc. and they are all in different tables. The SQL below displays the asset number, Name of person assigned and the model of the asset.
SELECT Hardware.AssetNo, [User].FullName, MonitorModel.Model, PCModel.Model AS Expr1, PrinterModel.Model AS Expr2
FROM Hardware INNER JOIN
[User] ON Hardware.UserID = [User].UserID INNER JOIN
Model ON Hardware.ModelID = Model.ModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN
MonitorModel ON Model.MonitorModelID = MonitorModel.MonitorModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN
PCModel ON Model.PCModelID = PCModel.PCModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN
PrinterModel ON Model.PrinterModelID = PrinterModel.PrinterModelID
This outputs:-
Asset number FullName Model Expr1 Expr2
00000 User Name Model NULL NULL
00001 User Name NULL Model NULL
00002 User Name NULL NULL Model
However what i hope to acheive is output Model, Expr1, Expr2 into one column like so:-
Asset number FullName Model
00000 User Name Model
Can i do this in the SQL or do i have to do it in my ASP.NET (VB) Page?

How do I create a select query which returns multiple columns from one actual DB column?
DB structure
ID (int), photo (nvarchar(50)), name (nvarchar(50))
Sample data
1, 'photo1.jpg', 'john smith'
2, 'photo2.jpg', 'jane doe'
3, 'photo3.jpg', 'bob brown'
4, 'photo4.jpg', 'mary brown'
5, 'photo5.jpg', 'sue smith'
6, 'photo6.jpg', 'bob rogers'
...
Required output
pic_col_1, name_col_1, pic_col_2, name_col_2, pic_col_3, name_col_3
photo1.jpg, john smith, photo2.jpg, jane doe, photo3.jpg, bob brown
photo4.jpg, mary brown, photo5.jpg, sue smith, photo6.jpg, bob rogers
Normally, I would just query the data and have the client data loop over the dataset to create the required output, however in this application it is not an option...
Thanks,

I'm trying to split a hyphen-delimited string into three columns in a view. I've been using substring and len to split up the string, but it is getting very complicated (and isn't working in all cases). I've used a SPLIT function in vbscript - does t-sql have anything similar? I've attached a spreadsheet that shows what I am looking for. Maybe someone can guide me in the right direction?
Thanks.
When I accept my input data, it's convenient to read it in from a flat file as a fixed width file with a width of 100. Then I run a splitter to split the input into two different paths (path_1 and path_2, say), based on an indicator field.
The output of path_1 has 1 column with width of 100, but now I want to split it up into lots of little columns. The output of path_2 also has 1 column with a width of 100, but I want to split it up, too, only using a different fixed width map than i used for path_1.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm working on a sales commission report that will show commissions for up to 5 sales reps for each invoice. The invoice detail table contains separate columns for the commission rates payable to each rep, but for some reason the sale srep IDs are combined into one column. The salesrep column may contain null, a single sales rep id, or up to five slaes rep IDs separated by the '~' character.
So I'd like to parse the rep IDs from a single column (salesreplist) in my invoice detail table (below) to multiple columns (RepID1, RepID2, RepID3, RepID4,RepID5) in a temp table so I can more easily calculate the commission amounts for each invoice and sales rep.
Here is my table:
CREATE TABLE invcdtl(
invoicenum int,
salesreplist [text] NULL,
reprate1 int NULL,
reprate2 int NULL,
reprate3 int NULL,
reprate4 int NULL,
reprate5 int NULL,
)
Here is some sample data:
1 A 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 0 0 0
3 I~~~~ 15 0 0 0 0
4 A~B 5 5 0 0 0
5 I~F~T~K~G 5 5 2 2 2
6 A~B
As you can see, some records have trailing delimiters but some don't. This may be a result of the application's behavior when multiple reps are entered then removed from an invoice. One thing for sure is that when there are multiple reps, the IDs are always separated by '~'
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Suppose that I have a table with following values
Table1
Col1 Col2 Col3
-----------------------------------------------------------
P3456 C935876 T675
P5555 C678909 T8888
And the outcome that I want is:

P3456 - C935876 - T675
P5555 - C678909 - T8888
where CombinedValues column contains values of coulmn 1,2 & 3 seperated by '-'
So is there any way to achieve this?
Here's the resultset:

Expected result:

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).
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

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???
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.
Sam.
