In a table I have some rows with flag A & B for a scode, some scode with only A and some are only B flags.
I would like to fetch all rows with flag A when both flags are present, no rows with B should be fetched. Fetch all rows when only single flags are present for a scode.How to achieve this using TSQL code.

Hello,
I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row:
user1 answer1user1 answer2user1 answer3user2 answer1user2 answer2user2 answer3
For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer):
user1 answer1 answer2 answer3user2 answer1 answer2 answer3
How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row
Thanx,Danny.

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?
I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table
CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1](
[BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL,
[PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?
Hello All,
I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.
I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.
For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report
The table (System Info) looks like:-
ID | System part |
1 | RAM
2 | Disk Drive
10| CPU
11| CD ROM |
Which
So basically I need it to look like this.
Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive|
----------------------------------------------
A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy
So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item
SELECT SYSTEM PART
FROM System Info
WHERE System.ID = 1
How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info
Any help is much appreciated!

I previously posted a problem with result set bindings but I have not been able to resolve my problem. I guess all this comes with being new to programming in this environment! Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to process from an ADO.NET connection multiple rows with multiple columns. I have to read and manipulate each row. I was originally looking at using a foreach loop but have not been able to get it to work. One reply to my previous thought I should be using a data task to accomplish this. Could someone tell me the best way to handle this situation? As a note, I am new to programming in SSIS and basically trying to learn it as I go so please bear with me! Thanks in advance!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
The values I need to store in the table are
Student ID
Student Name
Subjects
The "Student ID" is the primary key.
A student can take more than 1 subject.
For example:
Student ID: 100
Student Name: Kelly Preston
Subjects: Geography, History, Math
How can I store these values in a database table?
I know the normal "INSERT" statement, but how would I store the multiple subjects for a single student ID?
My "Student ID" is auto generated. If I create a new row for each subject, the Student ID will be different for each subject, which I dont want.
Or I can create a new field called "RowNumber" and keep that the primary key..
For example:
Row Number StudentID StudentName Subject
1 100 Kelly Geography
2 100 Kelly History
3 100 Kelly Math
If this is the only way to store the multiple sibjects, then for a given student ID (say 100), how can I retreieve the associated name and subjects? What is the query for that?

I am trying to filter my columns on multiple values. I need them all to be OR because I want it to look through all of the columns and wherever the value matches to not include in the view. My WHERE clause that I thought would work looked like this..
WHERE (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.SYMBOL LIKE '%spot%')) AND (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.ISSPREAD = 'True')) AND
(NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.GMIPRODUCTCODE = 'Internal')) AND (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.TAG_COMMENT IN ('[]', '[Gscalp]', '[TT]', '[GX2]', '[NA]', '[STELLAR]')) OR
(RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.TAG_COMMENT IS NULL)
However this does not work and provide the data needed. I then thought that if I replaced all the AND's with OR's that would work, but here it does not filter anything.. not sure where to go from here.

I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Howdy all,
I've run into an interesting scenario that I can't seem to resolve.
We have a table that we are using to create sequence ids. It's literally a table with a single field with the identity value turned on.
create table ident (seq_id int identity(1,1) primary key NOT NULL)
If I want to grab a new sequence id, I can execute
INSERT INTO
ident
DEFAULT VALUES
SELECT scope_identity() AS seq_id
All is well and good. However, now let's suppose that instead of just one, I'd like to get a range of values.
If the table had one other field in it, I could do the following
create table ident2 (seq_id int identity(1,1) primary key NOT NULL, placeholder char(1))
GO
;
WITH RECORDS AS
(
SELECT
CAST('A' as char(1)) AS col1
UNION ALL
SELECT
char(ascii(col1) + 1)
FROM
RECORDS
WHERE
col1 < 'C'
)
INSERT INTO
ident2
OUTPUT
INSERTED.seq_id
SELECT
NULL
FROM
RECORDS
Can this be done if there is only the identity column and if so, someone care to educate me?
I currently have some SQL code that is used to build a string that is a concatination of string values across multiple rows. The subqueries in the script sometimes return NULL values so I use the following statement to change the default behavior of the concatination operator which prevents my query from returning NULL:
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON
Here's the code snippet:
select DISTINCT
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t1.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=1 THEN ' ' + t1.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t1 WHERE (t1.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=1) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t2.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=2 THEN ' ' + t2.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t2 WHERE (t2.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=2) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t3.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=4 THEN ' ' + t3.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t3 WHERE (t3.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=4) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t4.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=8 THEN ' ' + t4.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t4 WHERE (t4.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=8) +
(SELECT CASE WHEN (t5.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=16 THEN ' ' + t5.description ELSE '' END FROM transactiontypes t5 WHERE (t5.MaskValue & HDR.TranTypeID)=16)) as 'Transaction Type'
FROM HDResponse HDR
Here's the underlying table structure:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TransactionTypes](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Description] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [MaskValue] [int] NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HDResponse](
[ResponseID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[LoggedDateTime] [datetime] NULL,
[ResponseTypeTripID] [int] NULL,
[ResponseTypeID] [int] NULL,
[ResponseTypeObjectID] [int] NULL,
[ObjectID] [int] NULL,
[IDHolderID] [int] NULL,
[TransportCode] [int] NULL,
[CardID] [int] NULL,
[IssueCode] [smallint] NULL,
[EventDateTime] [datetime] NULL,
[Response] [bit] NULL,
[TranTypeID] [int] NULL)
ON [PRIMARY]
The problem I am having is I need to be able to use the query above in a view used for reporting. Unfortunately, you cannot use SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON in a view. This causes my query to return NULL if any of the subqueries return NULL. I could create a function to do something similar and reference the function in the query but I can't help but think there must be a way to get this done in a single query.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!!

DEFAULT VALUES
SELECT scope_identity() AS seq_id
All is well and good. However, now let's suppose that instead of just one, I'd like to get a range of values. If the table had one other field in it, I could do the following
Code Snippet
create table ident2 (seq_id int identity(1,1) primary key NOT NULL, placeholder char(1))
GO
;
WITH RECORDS AS
(
SELECT
CAST('A' as char(1)) AS col1
UNION ALL
SELECT
char(ascii(col1) + 1)
FROM
RECORDS
WHERE
col1 < 'C'
)
INSERT INTO
ident2
OUTPUT
INSERTED.seq_id
SELECT
NULL
FROM
RECORDS
Is there a way to do this if there is only the identity column and if so, someone care to educate me?
From a design perspective, all I can say is "it's not mine" but I do have to live with it, or at least my coworker has to live with it. I'm merely trying to prevent them from opening a cursor and calling the default values version 45M times and no, that's not an exageration.
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:
CombinedValues(ColumnName)
----------------------------------------------
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?
