Each patient has multiple diagnoses. Is it possible to concatinate all of them in one without using a cursor?
I attach a small sample - just 3 patient (identified by VisitGUID) with the list on the left, the desired result on the right.
Hi All,
I am trying to write a select statement which will concatenate all values of a string column and provide me with a result set containing just one row of data containing a concatenation of all values.
For eg:
column1
abc
def
hij
klm
nop
is it possible to write a select statement which would return
result
abcdefghijklmnop
as a result?
TIA
Ketan
Hey guys, I 'm coding my very first stored procedure as accessed by a
.NET application. My input parameter is a dynamically built string. I need to concatenate to a sql query within the SP. I've tried using '+' as the concat. character but it doesn't work.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER procedure [dbo].[tmptable_query] (@condition_cl varchar(100)) as select * from temp_table + @condition_cl
Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

declare
@currentdate varchar(10)
set @currentdate='' + 'select datepart(month,getdate())' + '-' + 'select datepart(day,getdate())' + '-' + 'select datepart(year,getdate())'
Here is the SQL code I'm using:
exec xp_cmdshell 'copy "C:DevelopmentParticipant Limits ReportParticipant Limits Report template.xls" "C:DevelopmentParticipant Limits ReportParticipant Limits Report ' + @currentdate + '.xls"'
GO
The resulting file should have a filename something like "Participant Limits Report 3-31-2008". I get an "Incorrect syntax near '+'." error.
I have a customer who has recently migrated their SQL server to a newserver. In doing so, a portion of a stored procedure has stoppedworking. The code snippet is below:declare @Prefixes varchar(8000),declare @StationID int-- ...select @Prefixes = ''select @Prefixes = @Prefixes + Prefix + '|||'from Devicewhere Station_ID = @StationIDEssentially, we are trying to triple-pipe delimit all the deviceprefixes located at a specified station. This code has workedflawlessly for the last 10 months, but when the database was restoredon the new server, @Prefixes only contains the prefix for the lastdevice.Is there a server, database, or connection option that permits this towork that I am not aware of? Why would this work on the old server andnot on the new? (BTW - both servers are running SQL 2000 StandardSP4).Thanks!

I apologise if this question has been asked before but I have searched forums and the web and have not found a solution. I am current creating a script that has a cursor that builds a sql statement to be executed e.g.
--code within cursor
SELECT '
DECLARE @Result INT
EXEC @Result = DELETE_DOCUMENT
@DocumentID = ' + STR(DocumentID) + ',
@TimeStamp =' + CAST([Timestamp] as varchar) + ',
-- CHECK RESULT AND STATUS
-- IF OK LOG IN META_BATCH ELSE LOG ERROR' AS SQL
FROM Document
The problem I am having is trying to join the timestamp column into the sql string. I have tried to cast the time stamp to a varchar but I end up with the following output for the timestamp column values
T
T€‘
T
xnÞ
T!
T"
T#
T$
T%
T&
T'
T(
T)
T*
T+
T,
instead of

0x0000000013540F1E
0x0000000013540F1F

0x0000000013540F2A
0x0000000013540F2B
0x0000000013540F2C
which would not allow my delete script to work correctly. So I would really appreciate some advice to a pointer to where I might find out how to convert the timestamp.

I have been using dynamic sql in an inner cursor and I get an error about the fetched variable of the outer cursor. How can I fix it?
DECLARE A1 CURSOR GLOBAL FOR
SELECT Iid, Server, Dbname

[code]...
DECLARE @id VARCHAR(10)
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR LOCAL FAST_FORWARD FOR
SELECT [ServersList] AS 'ID'
FROM dbo.Servers

How do loop a table server(serverlist,flag) table with these 2 columns.And ping each of the servers in the table and update the flag column to '1' if ping has been successfull or flag to '0' if ping has been unsuccessfull.
I am using a cursor (i know - but this is actually something that is a procedural loop).
So effectively i have a table of names of stored procedures. I now have a store proc that loops around these procs and runs each one in order.
Now i am thinking i would like to be able to set the table it loops around in a variable at the start - is it possible to do this? So effectively use a tablename in a variable to use in the sql to define a cursor?
The below cursor is giving an error
DECLARE @Table_Name NVARCHAR(MAX) ,
@Field_Name NVARCHAR(MAX) ,
@Document_Type NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @SOPCursor AS CURSOR;
SET
@SOPCursor = CURSOR FOR
[Code] ....
The @Table_Name variable is declared, If I replace the delete statement (DELETE FROM @Table_Name ) with (PRINT @table_name) it works and print the table names.
Why does the delete statement give an error ?
i wanna create a procedure for P& L cost sheet , i had done that procedure now include a cursor instead of replacing sql queries .

how to include cursor on if part and else part
Need getting the below Cursor query convert to a Recursive CTE or with a while loop as I do not want to use a cursor.
Declare @Companyname Nvarchar (400)
declare @str nvarchar(MAX)
TRUNCATE TABLE STAGING.dbo.[IT_G_L Entry]
DECLARE GLEntry_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT REPLACE Name FROM Company where Name <> 'AAAAA'
OPEN GlEntry_cursor
[Code] ....
I don't understand using a dynamic cursor.
Summary
* The fetch next statement returns multiple rows when using a dynamic cursor on the sys.dm_db_partition_stats.
* As far as I know a fetch-next-statement always returns a single row?
* Using a static cursor works as aspected.
* Works on production OLTP as well as on a local SQL server instance.
Now the Skript to reproduce the whole thing.
create database objects
-- create the partition function
create partition function fnTestPartition01( smallint )
as range right for values ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9, 10 ) ;
[Code]....
Why does the fetch statement return more than 1 row? It returns the whole result of the select-statement. When using a STATIC cursors instead I get the first row of the cursor as I would expect. Selecting a "normal" user table using a dynamic cursor I get the first row only, again as expected.
I'm trying to build a simple cursor to understand how they work. From the temp table, I would like to print out the values of the table, when I run my cursor it just keeps running the output of the first row infinitely. I just want it to print out the 7 rows in the table ...
IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#tTable','U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #tTable
CREATE TABLE #tTable
[Code]....
I am trying to think of a way to read a control table, build the SQL statement for each line, and then execute them all, without using a cursor.
To make it simple... control table would look like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Control_Table](
[Server_Name] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[Database_Name] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Control_Table] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
So if we then load:
insert into zt_Planning_Models_Plant_Include_Control_Table
values ('r2d2','planing1'), ('r2d2','planing7'), ('deathstar','planing3')
Then you would build a SQL script that would end up looking like the following (note all the columns are the same):
insert into master_models
Select * from r2d2.planning1.dbo.models
insert into master_models
select * from r2d2.planning7.dbo.models
insert into master_models
Select * from deathstar.planning3.dbo.models
I have a cte:
With cte as
(
Select distinct Incident_ID,
ACTUAL_SEVERITY ,
Policy
From
table)
There are 3 ACTUAL_SEVERITY value: 1-High, 2-Medium and 3-Low
I need the final result be like:
Policy High Medium/Low
How do I write the script with out using temp table or cursor?

I think it was Pat Phelan who posted a little trick here where he used the STUFF function to create a string fo values from a column without using a cursor.
I am starting a brand new project and I did my table design and I am awaiting a finalized requirements document to start coding and I thought I would spend a little time writing some code to autogenerate some generic one record at a time SELECT, INSERT,UPDATE and DELETE stored procedures. With the coming holiday things are getting quiet around here.
The code that is not working is listed below. It does not work. It returns Null. I suck.
DECLARE @column_names varchar(8000)
SET @column_names = ''
SELECT @column_names = STUFF(@column_names,LEN(@column_names),0,C.COLUMN_ NAME + ', ')
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'MyTable'
SELECT @column_names
little help?
Hi,
I would like to use the dboption ‘default to local cursor’ to true.
But when I set it to true for my database, cursors that are built in a ‘string’ and then executed return an error :
Select @SQL = 'Declare SICCursor cursor For Select SIC1 From ' + @StateTable + ' Where BusinessName = ' + '''' + @BusinessName + '''' + ' Order By PubDate desc'
Exec(@SQL)
Open SICCursor
Openning the cursor returns the error message
“A cursor with the name 'SICCursor' does not exist.”
What am I doing wrong (cursors declared ‘normally’ do not have a problem)?
Thanks,
Judith

How do you take a string and search for the first "-" and then drop everything from the start to, and including, the "-"?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to create a TSQL to return MAX(Value) removing the first part and last part.
Example
I have these Varchar Reference code:
1.00001-Q1
2.00100-Q2
3.00005-Q4
I need to cut the string to find the max number excluding (Part1):
1.
2.
3.
And also excluding (Part3):
-Q1
-Q2
-Q4
In this case converting varchar to INT, the correct value that i want is: 00101
The middle part excluding (Part1 and Part3)
Then my final reference could be:
1.00101-Q1
or
2.00101-Q2
or
3.00101-Q4
I have a table Alert_Types with these fields :
alert_id,
alert_source,
body,
Now whenever a new alert is registered record goes in table like
alert_id = 1,
alert_source= document_detail_view,
body = Document ID: @document_id
Customer Name: @customer_name
Item name: @item_name
Quantity: @qty
it was simple to parse simple variables using replace functions. eg. REPLACE(@str, '@customer_name', @customer_name). It worked like mail merge.the converted string was then sent forward using a webservice.now my requirement is to add conditional values in body field e.g:
body = Document ID: @document_id
Customer Name: @customer_name
Item name: @item_name
Quantity: @qty
IF isnull(@rate, 0) > 0 Rate: @rate
IF isnull(@rate, 0) > 0 Amount: @amount
how can i parse strings like this. I'm open to change format of values for body field.
i need to cut my string on 3 portion, for exemple my string is :
a) 1.9999-Q1
b) 01.9999-Q11
I need to keep all values before "." (point), and all values after "-" , and also all values between "." and "-", like this:
a) 1
9999
Q1
b) 01
9999
Q11
DelimitedSplit8k and PatternSplitLoop seem to have potential, but I'm just plain stuck on some things:
1. DelimitedSplit8k: the delimiter split the folder paths, but the pattern can be within the strings that result.
2. PatternSplitLoop: I would have to cross apply 16 times and have an awful WHERE clause to determine which of the four strings matched first.
Unless I'm missing something. Short example is below.
WITH testctes (string, pattern) AS (
SELECT 'oh_look_at_this.thing.hishers_stuffmine.craftyours_protein', 'his first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'i.am.a._thing.hershis_thingsmine.refrigeratoryours_potato', 'hers first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'path_like.things_minehers.some_elsehis_garbageyours_sneakers', 'mine first' UNION ALL
SELECT 'more_stuff.yoursminehershis_falafel', 'yours first'
)
SELECT string, pattern, ca.item, ca.itemnumber
FROM testctes
CROSS APPLY [dbo].[PatternSplitLoop] (string, '%his%') ca
I'm importing dates into a table with Bulk insert
SET DATEFORMAT DMY
it works with dates e.g. "14/01/2009"
However sometimes I get dates in the format
"Fri 14/01/2009"
What is the best way to convert these.
I can only think of putting them in a staging table with all date fields as varchars Then updating these varchar fields
LTRIM(REPLACE(dtField, 'Mon', ''))
LTRIM(REPLACE(dtField, 'Tues', ''))
I am having a
Source Table: #test1(studID, FIrstNAme,LasteName)
Target Table: #Test2(StudID, UserName)
Now I want to create usernames from #test1 by considering first character of first name and last name and if same combination found then append with 01.
Example if #test1 contains data as below:
1,Abhas, Pawar
2, Arun, Pawar
3, Ashis, Panday
Then i want to create username like:
apawar
apawar01
apanday02
but if same username exists in #test2 then i want to inser records as below:
first apawar will check in #test2, if not exists insert as it is:
if apawar01 exists in #test2 then, cretae apawar02 instead of apawar01
for next create apawar03 and insert and so on...
In brief I want to check created username eith #table2 and if same exists then first check if lower value available if not then create with lower value and insert.
I need to add a filter clause like
WHERE username = '%%%'
I know you will say 'why add a filter if you're not going to use it?' but I need to for a certain application which will use the parent query for child queries in which I select the specificity required for the child query's data set.I've tried '%*%' and '%_%' but always it returns nothing. I need the filter to exist yet not really filter.
