T-SQL (SS2K8) :: String Occurrence Count With Cross Apply
Jun 17, 2014
See sample data below. I'm trying to count the number of occurrences of strings stored in table @word without a while loop.
DECLARE @t TABLE (Id INT IDENTITY(1,1), String VARCHAR(MAX))
INSERT INTO @t
SELECT 'There are a lot of Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) resources available' AS String UNION ALL
SELECT 'but most teaching aids out there are geared towards professionals with cube development experience' UNION ALL
[Code] .....

Hello,
I am doing a report that uses paging and in order to optimize it, i used row_number() so i could make it return x rows per page, so, in order to compute the number of pages needed, i have to count the total number of rows, which gets very slow because i'm using a cross apply with a table-valued function. Is there any way so i can get the number of rows processed by row_number() so i dont have the need to do count?
Thanks in advance !

I am using CROSS APPLY instead of UNPIVOT to unpivot > one column. I am wondering if I can dynamically replace column names based on different tables? The example code that I have working is based on the "Allergy" table. I have thirty more specialty tables to go. I'll show the working code first, then an example of another table's columns to show differences:
select [uplift specialty], [member po],[practice unit name], [final nomination status]
,[final uplift status], [final rank], [final uplift percentage]
,practiceID=row_number() over (partition by [practice unit name] order by Metricname)
,metricname,Metricvalue, metricpercentilerank
[code]....
Rheumatology Table:The columns that vary start with "GDR" and [GDR Percentile Rank] so I'm just showing those:
GDR (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR Percentile Rank (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR PGS (nvarchar(255), null)
GDR Rank Number (nvarchar(255), null)
PMPM (nvarchar(255), null)
[Code] ....
These are imported from an Excel Workbook so that's why all the columns with spaces for now.

I have text column .I want to find out first occurance of string based on logic.I defiend Text with examples and also mentioned expected result.I coloured the text in word document,due to some reasons not displaying same here.Attached as image below texts to understand more clear.
TEXT 1: 'ABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHENDRAXNARENDRABVEERNDARAXDRMNDRAXRVINDRABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHEN'
From the above text1, I want to get “AXNARENDR”.
Based on logic defined below:
First I have to search for string “A” Then next to ‘A’ it should not be “B” or “C” or “D”.It can be anything other thing these three.Combination of “A” otherthan “B” or “C” or “D”
In the example text I defined “A”,”X” defined three times .I want to capture few characters from the first occurrence of the string
i.e AXNARENDR (TEXT1 I defined “A” with 4th occur
TEXT 2:
'ABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHENDRABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHENABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHENABN
AGENDRACSURENDRADJITHENAYENDGHRABVEERNDARAXDRMNDRABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHENAYRVINDR'
From the above text2, I want to get “AYENDGHR”.

Hi... I'm reading the MS Press 70-442 Self-Paced Training kit, and I'm having problems with this example.
I'd like help getting it to work correctly, or understand why it is isn't working the way I planned.
On page 67, the lab is about the APPLY operator (CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY). I first have to input a sample table-valued function into the AdventureWorks database:
Code Block
CREATE FUNCTION fnGetAvgCost(@ProdID int)
RETURNS @RetTable TABLE (AvgCost money)
AS
BEGIN
WITH Product(stdcost)
AS
(
SELECT avg(standardcost) as AvgCost
FROM Production.ProductCostHistory
WHERE ProductID = @ProdID
)
INSERT INTO @RetTable
SELECT * FROM Product
RETURN
END
and then run a sample T-SQL statement
Code Block
SELECT p.Name, p.ProductNumber,
Convert(varchar, cost.AvgCost,1) AS 'Average Cost'
FROM Production.Product p
CROSS APPLY fnGetAvgCost(p.ProductID) AS cost
WHERE cost.AvgCost IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY cost.AvgCost desc
My problem is with the WHERE clause... According to page 56, CROSS APPLY returns only rows from the outer table that produces a result set, so why do I need to explicitly filter NULL values?
When I remove the WHERE clause, the query retrieves lots of NULL AvgCost values.
Again, according to page 56, it is the OUTER APPLY that returns all rows that return a result set and will include NULL values in the columns that are returned from the table-valued function.
So, in short, I don't see the difference between CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY, using this example, when I remove the WHERE clause?
(Please refrain from introducing another example into this question.)

I have a question, is there any equivalent for the CROSS APPLY operator in SQL server 2000?
I have the following code in SQL Server 2005 and it works fine, but I need an equivalent code in SQL server 2000.

FROM Customers Cust CROSS APPLY dbo.GetAccountAttributes(Cust.AccountNo) Att
what I need is to join a function and passing it a dynamic parameter.

Good Afternoon,
I'm attempting to leverage SQL's new 'APPLY" operator and I guess I don't fully understand it proper usage.
This is a relatively simple request, first i want to count the models produced within a valid period of time. The first 'Cross Apply' gets the valid starting and ending dates and looks ups the number of models produced for the period of time. This section of code works perfectly fine.
The problem appears to be with the second "Cross Apply". What I'm attempting to accomplish is to count all models produced, regardless of time frame.
When executed the query appears to go into an loop and I end up canceling out the request.
Any ideas where I went wrong?? Any help is greatly appreciated!
select b1.model as Model
,b1.MinDate as Mfg_Str_Date
,b1.MaxDate as Mfg_End_Date
,Count(b2.Model+B2.Serial) as Mfg_Date_Valid
,Count(b3.Model+B3.Serial) as All_Units
from (select b.model, min(b.build_date) as MinDate ,max(b.build_date) as MaxDate
from etbl_models_Serial as b
group by b.model) as b1
--These are Units produced within Valid Window
cross apply (select b2.model,b2.Serial
from etbl_Production as b2
where b2.Model = b1.Model
and b2.Mfg_Date between b1.MinDate and b1.MaxDate) as b2
--These are all units produced
cross apply (select b3.model,b3.Serial
from etbl_Production as b3
where b3.Model = b2.Model) as b3
Group by b1.Model, b1.MinDate, b1.MaxDate
Order by b1.Model

I can't figure out what can be causing this.
When I use this query
Select top 1000 a.EmployeeID,b.*

It runs 4 seconds
If I try to insert the results into anything It runs > 5 minutes (I have yet to let it finish)
I have tried the two following pieces of code, both with the same results
Select top 1000 a.EmployeeID,b.*

dbo.fn_Severance_AccountItemsTable(a.EmployeeID,a.BenefitTypeID,null,null,null,null) b

cross apply

Will the order of inner joins and cross apply effect the results of a query?
Example:
FROM dbo.vw_Info v
CROSS APPLY dbo.usf_LastFee(v.StoreID, v.AgreementID, v.CustomerID, ABS(v.PrePaymentBalance), cp.ConfirmationNo) lf
INNER JOIN dbo.Customers c

Hello,
is it possible to use CROSS APPLY like this:
SELECT [x]

i know you need [x].* but is it possible to use a function so that only [x] is needed?

Hey guys. This is one of the queries pasted from BOL. I'm having problems excuting this query. The problem lies in the CROSS APPLY part. When I copy this query and run it in SSMS, it gives me an error saying 'Incorrect syntax near .' It doesn't like the qs.sql_handle part. If I remove that and pass the actual handle in for some query, it works. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?????? Also, I've sp1 installed on my SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, just in case if this matters. Below is the query pasted which is giving me problems. Thank you.
SELECT TOP 5 total_worker_time/execution_count AS [Avg CPU Time],
SUBSTRING(st.text, (qs.statement_start_offset/2)+1,
((CASE qs.statement_end_offset
WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(st.text)
ELSE qs.statement_end_offset
END - qs.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) AS statement_text
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS qs
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) AS st

Table :
ChangeID ChangeDate EquipmentID ModuleID EquipStatus

3 17/9/08 230 1789 Open

5 21/9/08 450 1674 Normal
6 22/9/08 450 2364 Normal
Given a date, what module was each equipment item in on that date?How do I get the date of the nearest previous event from a list like this? I got a query from one of the post in this Forum only using Cross Apply to find the nearest record from the above table based on Date i.e.
SELECT outerT.*
FROM your_table AS outerT
CROSS APPLY
(
SELECT TOP 1
equipment_id
, change_date
FROM your_table AS innerT
WHERE innerT.change_date <= @point_in_time
AND innerT.equipment_id = outerT.equipment_id
ORDER BY change_date DESC
) AS applicable_records
WHERE applicable_records.change_date = outerT.change_date
The problem is I need to get this query without using Cross Apply as i need to use the same for the LINQ which doesn't support Cross Apply.

I was reading Kenneth Fisher's and Dwain Camps' articles on unpivoting using cross apply... And I can actually get them to work....
CREATE TABLE #TxCycle(
Cycle INT NOT NULL,
PatientID INT NOT NULL,
ALOPECIA TINYINT,
Causality1 TINYINT,
Relatedness1 TINYINT,
[Code] ....
The one thing I was wondering was this: how do I extract the symptom names from the field list without knowing them all beforehand? Dwain does this
-- DDL and sample data for UNPIVOT Example 2
CREATE TABLE #Suppliers
(ID INT, Product VARCHAR(500)
,Supplier1 VARCHAR(500), Supplier2 VARCHAR(500), Supplier3 VARCHAR(500)
,City1 VARCHAR(500), City2 VARCHAR(500), City3 VARCHAR(500))
Can this be adapted if you don't know all the column names beforehand? (Likely not). Back in the dark ages, when I was working on a database like this, it was in Access, and I could loop over the fields collection and evaluate each field name. (Yes, I know you're not supposed to store information in field names, but I inherited that mess!)

I'm unable to reproduce the error. when they upgrade their OS and SQL EXPRESS to a more recent version the error disappears.
The error is: Incorrect syntax near '.'
the query in question resembles this:
Select column1, column2
from Table1 T
cross apply function(t.column4,t.column5) F
where column3 = 'XXXX'
I made sure that the compatibility level is greater than 90 this error is happening on SQL2005 SP2 as well as SQL2008 with SP2 (but not all clients are suffering from the same problem)
Can it be the .net framework? Although the machines had .net framework 3.52.
Can the OS be an issue? The OS' seem to be old, Windows Server 2008 SP2
I've tried to reproduce the error by setting up virtual machines with same OS and SQL but, again, can't reproduce.

Hello,
I use the full-text search utility in SQL Server 2005 to find word in PDFs document.
This is my 'Documents' table:
id (PK), data (VarBinary(max)), extension (nvarchar(4))
My full-text catalog on 'data' column works fine because when I search 'Microsoft', my document containing this word is returned as result.
SELECT * FROM Documents WHERE freetext([data], 'Microsoft');
1 , 0x255044...., .pdf
But I need to know how many times 'Microsoft' word appears in this document.
Do you have any idea how can I retrieve this information?
Thanks in advance!

Following is the query that I'm running:
create table a (id int, name varchar(10));
create table b(id int, sal int);
insert into a values(1,'John'),(1,'ken'),(2,'paul');
insert into b values(1,400),(1,500);
select *
from a
cross apply( select max(sal) as sal from b where b.id = a.id)b;
Below is the result for the same:
idname sal
1John500
1ken500
2paulNULL
Now I'm not sure why the record with ID 2 is coming using CROSS APPLY, shouldn't it be avoided in case of CROSS APPLY and only displayed when using OUTER APPLY.
One thing that I noticed was that if you remove the Aggregate function MAX then the record with ID 2 is not shown in the output. I'm running this query on SQL Server 2012.

Here is a CTE query
With mstrTable(ItemNo, Sales)
as (
Query1
Union All
Query2
)
Select Row_Number () Over(Partition by ItemNo order by ItemNo)as RowNo, ItemNo, Sales
From mstrTable
order by ItemNo
The results from Query1 and Query2 overlap sometimes.
The result set looks like:
1 Item1 10000
2 Item1 10000
1 Item2 20000
1 Item3 30000
I only want the first occurrence of each item. The desired result set is:
1 Item1 10000
1 Item2 20000
1 Item3 30000
I am not able to add a "Where RowNo = 1" to the query. SQL returns an "invalid field name".How would I obtain a record set that returns just the first occurrence of the ItemNo field?

I need to query the count of an occurrence in a given period of time, so I created this query. But it does not give me any results.
SELECT TOP 1000
o.[ID]
,o.[TimeOfOrder]
,x.[StreeLine1]
FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o
FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x
ON o.ID= x.id
WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48
GROUP BY x.[StreeLine1], o.ID, o.TimeOfOrder
HAVING COUNT(x.[StreeLine1])>1
Then I change the query slightly and I ask it to show me the ones that are going to '599 Ships Landing Way' and it gives me 356 results! The Query doesn't crash, but it doesn't give me the results I need. What did I do incorrectly?
SELECT TOP 1000
o.[ID]
,o.[TimeOfOrder]
,x.[StreeLine1]
FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o
FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x
ON o.ID= x.id
WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48

The charindex seems just able to search from left to right..

Hi all,
Am searching for a built-in function that retrives me the occurrence (counts) of a particular character inside a string.
For e.g. In the String 'SqlServer'. I want to find the no of the character 'e', which shud retrive the value as 2.
Can this be acheived through any function.
Cheers !

I am trying to figure out how I can find the names of people who have a double occurrence or more of characters either in their first name or last name.
This is for a data cleanup.
CREATE TABLE #Names ( FIRSTNAME VARCHAR (20), LASTNAME VARCHAR (20))
INSERT INTO #Names VALUES
('Thomas', 'Hohner')
,('Mike', 'SSmith')
,('TtTony', 'Hawk')
,('Jeff', 'Smith')
,('ZZSara', 'Jones')
,('Luke', 'HendersonZZ')
,('Lily', 'PPadZZZ')
SELECT * FROM #Names
DROP TABLE #Names
