Splitting A Comma Delimited String

Oct 1, 2007

I have a string like say: '3:4:5:4,2:4:1,4:1:2:5:2'. Now I need to split the substrings delimited by commas. So my final output shall be

3:4:5:4
2:4:1
4:1:2:5:2


I did write a piece of code to achieve the same, but I feel its not so efficient. Can anyone suggest me a better way, if any? My code is as follows:

Declare @person as varchar(255), @cnt smallint,@loc smallint,@prevloc smallint, @str varchar(255)
Select @prevloc=0,@loc=1,@cnt=1,@person = '3:4:5:4,2:4:1,4:1:2:5:2'
While @loc != 0
begin
set @prevloc=(case when @loc = 1 then 0 else @loc end) +1
set @loc = charindex(',',@person,@loc+1)
Set @str = substring(@person,@prevloc,(Case when @loc = 0 then len(@person) - @prevloc + 1 else @loc - @prevloc end))
print 'String = ' + @Str
set @cnt=@cnt+1
end

RESULT
------
String = 3:4:5:4
String = 2:4:1
String = 4:1:2:5:2


Note: My actual purpose is to also sub split it again with ':' delimiter too. So looking for an efficient code.

Splitting A Comma Delimited Column

Feb 12, 2008



Hi

I wondered if anyone could help me. I have a table that holds an ID in the first column then a list of values split by commas in the 2nd column i.e.:

IDColumn: 1
2ndCoumn: 1stvalue, 2ndvalue, 3rdvalue, 4thvalue

I am trying to return as a dataset of this that shows the ID as column 1 then each value in the 2nd column as individual columns if I use SELECT LEFT('2ndColumn,PATINDEX(',',2ndColum)-1) I can return the first value as a column but then can't return any further values individually after the first column, I am just learning the new functionality in SSIS so not sure whether this would be my answer as apposed to T-SQL, if anyone has any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks in advance

Splitting Space Delimited String Inline

May 20, 2008

So we have a field called forenames, and it needs to be split into fields forename_1, forename_2, forename_3, forename_4 (don't ask).

Ok, I've come up with this so far, which works, but is pretty nacky in my opinion. Has any one got a better way of achieving this?

SELECT forenames
, Replace(forenames, ' ', '.')
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 1)) As [f1]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 2)) As [f2]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 3)) As [f3]
, Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 4)) As [f4]
FROM ( SELECT 'John' As [forenames]
UNION SELECT 'John Paul'
UNION SELECT 'John Paul George'
UNION SELECT 'John Paul George Ringo'
) As [x]

Results

forenames (no column name) f1 f2 f3 f4
---------------------- ---------------------- ---- ---- ------ -----
John John John NULLNULL NULL
John Paul John.Paul John PaulNULL NULL
John Paul George John.Paul.George John PaulGeorgeNULL
John Paul George Ringo John.Paul.George.Ringo John PaulGeorgeRingo

Quotes Around The Comma Delimited String

Oct 18, 2005

I am trying to build a dynamic where  statement for my sql stored prcoedure
  if len(@Office) > 0   select @strWhereClause = N'cvEh.chOfficeId in (select id from dbo.csfParseDeLimitedText( ' + @vchOffice  +  ',' + ''',''' + '))' + ' and ' + @strWhereClause
In this case users can enter comma delimited string in their search criteria. So if they enter we1, we2, we3 then my sql statement should look like
select @strWhereClause = cvEh.chOfficeId in (select id from dbo.csfParseDeLimitedText('we1', 'we2', 'we3'),',')
My csfParseDeLimitedText function looks like this
Create  FUNCTION [dbo].[csfParseDeLimitedText] (@p_text varchar(4000), @p_Delimeter char(1))RETURNS @results TABLE (id varchar(100))ASBEGIN declare @i1 varchar(200)declare @i2 varchar(200)declare @tempResults Table (id varchar(100))while len(@p_text) > 0 and charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) <> 0beginselect @i1 = left(@p_text, charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) - 1)insert @tempResults select @i1select @p_text = right(@p_text, len(@p_text) - charindex(@p_Delimeter,@p_text))endinsert @tempResults select @p_text
insert @resultsselect *from @tempResultsreturnEND
 
My problem is it does not put quotes around the comma delimited stringso I want to put 'we1' , 'we2'. These single quotes are not coming in the dynamic sql statement. How can I modify my query so that single quotes around each entry should show up.
Any help will be greatky appreciated.
Thanks

SELECT WHERE IN Comma Delimited String

Jun 3, 2008

Hello

I have a table with column Options where each field contains a comma delimited list of ID numbers.

I want to select any records where a certain ID number appears in that list.

So something like:

SELECT * FROM Table t1
WHERE MyID IN (SELECT Options FROM Table t2 WHERE t1.ID = t2.ID)

But that gives me the error:

Syntax error converting the varchar value '39,20' to a column of data type int.

I feel I'm close though! Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

Transact SQL :: How To Split Comma Delimited String

Oct 8, 2008

I have a parameter called Id in my SP which will be of nvarchar data type and i'm going to get the multiple ids at a time seperated by commas in that parameter from the application. Now my requirement is to update a table with these comma seperated ids in seperate rows.

For example, if i have 2 parameters called Id1 and Id2. Id1 will contain only one value and will be of int data type and Id2 will be of nvarchar data type as i can get multiple ids delimited by a comma from the application.

Suppose Id1 = 1 and Id2 = '1,2,3,4'. Then I have to update id2 in the tables seperately like wherever Id1 is '1' i need to update Id2 column for 4 rows with the value 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively in different rows.
 
how can i do this in T-SQL? How can i split the data of parameter Id2 in 4 different rows?

Passing A Comma Delimited String Of Parameters To A Stored Proc

Jul 30, 2007

Hello,
I have a number of multi-select parameters which I would like to send to a stored procedure within the dataset for use in the stored procedure's IN() statement which in turn is used to filter on or out particular rowsets.

I considered using a hidden string parameter set = " ' " + join(parameter.value, ',') + " ' " so that the hidden parameter would then contain a comma delimiated string of the values selected, which would then be sent on to the stored proc and used in the WHERE clause of one of the queries internal to the stored proc.
But before I start dedicating time to do this I wanted to inquire if anyone here with far more expertise could think of a faster or less system heavy method of creating a single string of comma delimited parameter selections?

Thanks.

SELECT WHERE (any Value In Comma Delimited List) IN (comma Delimited List)

Jul 2, 2005

I want to allow visitors to filter a list of events to show only those belonging to categories selected from a checklist.

Here is an approach I am trying:

TABLE Events(EventID int, Categories varchar(200))

EventID Catetories
--------------------------
1           ‘6,8,9’
2           ‘2,3’

PROCEDURE ListFilteredEvents
   @FilterList varchar(200)    -- contains ‘3,5’
AS
SELECT EventID FROM Events
WHERE (any value in Categories) IN @FilterList

Result:

EventID
----------
2

How can I select all records where any value in the Categories column
matches a value in @FilterList. In this example, record 2 would be
selected since it belongs to category 3, which is also in @FilterList.

I’ve looked at the table of numbers approach, which works when
selecting records where a column value is in the parameter list, but I
can’t see how to make this work when the column itself also contains a
comma delimited list.

Can someone suggest an approach?

Any examples would be greatly appreciated!

Splitting Delimited Column

Feb 19, 2008

I have a question for all the t-sql gurus.

I have a table with millions of rows, 1 particular attribute "FromPerson" contains a string
of email addresses, names, etc...
for example (formatting done by this window... not exists in database...completely cleaned to semi-colon delimited)

tomh@gmail.com; Snyder, John N.; jsnyder@yahoo.com; Miller, Jim; millerj@gmail.com; Tenbrow, Jack; Katie Winslow (can be x number of names, emails...)

as you can see... some of the delimited values match up with an email address, others have just names, or emails...
I have successfully split this into 1 row per value per say, but how do i get them to match up the values that do.
I think the splitting is really not helping the cause...
what i want is this...


tomg@hotmail.com tomg@hotmail.com
Snyder, John N. jsnyder@yahoo.com
Miller, Jim millerj@gmail.com
Tenbrow, Jack Tenbrow, Jack
Katie Winslow Katie Winslow


there could/can be other attributes, like datetime stamp, domain(if any)... etc... but I think I can add that
later...

any ideas?

Comma Delimited Row

Jun 23, 2006

Hi,

Good evening! I have a problem. I have a namelist coming from a distribution list of an active directory. When I converted it to csv file, the members reside in just one column and separated by a comma. I want the names to be separated in a row one by one. I tried it on excel and I used the transpose column but to no avail. My last resort is to import it on sql but the names on the column was cut and not complete. Do you have any idea how to do this. Your help is highly appreciated.

this is the sample file..

names
kelly.yap, lizzy.fox, yahoo, finance.dep, hope.miller, porly.john

the maximum names in a row is 566.

thanks in advance.

Comma Delimited Processing

Dec 28, 2006

Suppose I have a table named Test (referred in the query below)

Category Indicators
ctgy1Y,,,,
ctgy2Y,Y,Y,N,
ctgy3,Y,,Y,

and If I would like to transform this table to

Category Indicators
ctgy1Y
ctgy2Y

ctgy2Y
ctgy3Y
ctgy3Y

I am able to do it using the logic below

CREATE TABLE dbo.Numbers (Number INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED)
WHILE COALESCE(SCOPE_IDENTITY(), 0) < 5
BEGIN
INSERT dbo.Numbers DEFAULT VALUES
END

SELECT category,
SUBSTRING( Value, Number, CHARINDEX( ',', Value + ',', Number ) - Number ) as program
FROM Test
inner
JOIN Numbers
ON SUBSTRING( ',' + Value, Number, 1 ) = ','
and CHARINDEX( ',', Value+',', Number ) - Number <> 0
where Number <= Len(Value) + 1

But I would like to Transform this table into something like the one below (where if 'Y' before 1st comma then Q1, if 'Y' Before 2nd comma then Q2 and so on

Category Indicators
ctgy1Q1
ctgy2Q1
ctgy2Q2
ctgy2Q3
ctgy3Q2
ctgy3Q4

What is the best and efficient way to obtain this? Any help will be greatly helpful.

I need to import comma delimited text files into sql tables. in one of the column, there is a comma in the string itself. e.g.

The data does not have double quote as text qualifiers. but as you see, on the Name column, there is a comma, which is not a delimiter. can anybody give any suggestions on how i can deal with that? i would appreciate it so much.
