Transact SQL :: Concatenate Multiple Fields Into One
Dec 5, 2015
I have a table where I need to concatenate all values into one field separated by a comma. If the field is null display a blank value. This is my table structure and example output
Create Table #read
(
id int
,field1 varchar(100)
,field2 varchar(100)
,field3 varchar(100)
,field4 varchar(100)
Hi all, I am creating a search table where the keywords field is madeup of several text fields and this is causing me some problems. I canconcatentate the text ok but i can't seem to concatenate matchingrecords here is the cursor loop. I'm not a fan of cursors but alsodidn't see another way of achieving this.declare @ptr1 varbinary(16)declare @Ptr2 varbinary(16)declare @profileid intdeclare @x intset @profileid = 0while @profileid is not nullbeginselect@profileid = min([id]),@ptr1 = MIN(textptr(text1))from #holdingwhere [id] @profileiddeclare c2 cursor fast_forward forselect textptr(searchterms), datalength(searchterms)from searchwhere search.[id] = @profileidopen c2fetch c2 into @ptr2, @xwhile @@fetch_status = 0beginupdatetext search.searchterms @ptr2 null 0 #holding.text1 @ptr1fetch c2 into @ptr2, @xendclose c2deallocate c2endThe #holding table contains the fields that i want to concatenate andthe search table is the resulting table. This example would loopthrough search and find id 1 in search and then append another fieldmatching id 1 in holding then move onto the next field in turn goingthrough the whole table.i.e.search holding result after each loopid text id text1 abc 1 def abcdef2 ghi 2 jkl ghijklWhen I run this, some of the records concatenate properly but most dontwith the same text being appended to the end of searchterms. i.e loadsof results will end up with jkl tagged onto the end. I can't figure outwhen my loop is falliing over!!! Can anyone help?Dan
I am using MS SQL 2012. I have a table that contains all the data that I need, but I need to summarize the data and also add up decimal fields while at it. Then I need a total of those added decimal fields. My data is like this:
I have Providers, a unique ID that Providers will have multiples of, and then decimal fields. Here are my fields:
Is there any way of concatenating 2 fields and a seperator, an id (integer) then "|||" then a nvarchar field, it would make my life much easier if I could come up with SQL that works in ms access as well as sql server.. Thanks
I have a hierarchy of product categories and I want to string them together to show the complete path (breadcrumbs) to the item. Each category/subcat must be separated buy a comma. The catch is that not all items have the same number of cats/subcats. Here is what I am currently doing, but as you can see, this results in extra commas where the subcats are null.
New to using MS SQL server! I have a requirements DB. Before I came on board, the DB was seeded with requirements text and a requirements ID in separate columns. I've been asked to append the ID in front of the text:
Text - The user shall be able.... ID - 1.01.01. Combined - 1.01.01.The user shall be able....
I've created the following query that displays the columns:
CREATE VIEW dbo.ReqID AS SELECT RQREQUIREMENTS.ID, RQREQUIREMENTS.REQUIREMENTNAME, RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.FIELDVALUE
FROM RQREQUIREMENTS LEFT OUTER JOIN RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES ON RQREQUIREMENTS.ID = RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.REQUIREMENTID
WHERE (RQUSERDEFINEDFIELDVALUES.FIELDID = 171)
The Text field is REQUIREMENTNAME The ReqId is FIELDVALUE
Should I create an UPDATE query based on this SELECT, updating the REQUIREMENTNAME column with FIELDVALUE + REQUIREMENTNAME?
Hello,I'm wondering if there is a way to concatenate two fields or a field and astring value in a single field in a view?Where in Access I might write;[field1] & " (m3)" as TotalVolumeis there a way to do this in an SQL Server View?Thanks!
Does anyone have code example on how to concatenate fields in a SQL Server stored procedure? I would like to create a stored procedure to concat (off_name ' ' off_fname ' ' off_prior) to a field to bound to a combobox. Thanks, Ron
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?
Let’s say in one field there is the "year" as an integer 2010, and in another field is the "month" as an integer 11. How can you concatenate them and not add them?
Essentially the result I'm looking for based on the example would be this: 201011 but I still want this to be an integer and not a string.
I need to concatenate the DisplayName column with distinct UserName and SysName using XML path
SELECT [sysName], [User_Name],[DisplayName] FROM (SELECT v_Add_Remove_Programs.DisplayName0 AS [DisplayName], v_Add_Remove_Programs.Publisher0 AS [Publisher] , v_R_System_Valid.Netbios_Name0 AS[sysName],v_R_System_Valid.User_Name0 AS [User_Name],v_Add_Remove_Programs.Version0 as [Version] FROM [Offline].[dbo].v_Add_Remove_Programs JOIN [Offline].[dbo].v_R_System_Valid ON [Offline].[dbo].v_Add_Remove_Programs.ResourceID = [Offline].[dbo].v_R_System_Valid.ResourceID)
I have a requirement .Where i might have multiple rows one of the row will have description and second row might be related description but wiht routning number null .I want to concatenate these rows

In other words I need to Aggregate the 2 dates and concatenated into a new string col string so basically a sum with a group by but instead of a sum I need to concatenate the string. I know this should be possible using stuff and for xml path but I can't seem to get my head around it everything I try concatenates all the strings, not just the appropriate ones.
I am working with a SQL Server database that was set up to store the year, month, and day in separate columns, rather than use a single column for the date. I plan to change this so that we store dates and times using the datetime data type. Until then, for now, I need to write transact-SQL select statements to concatenate the year, month and day to create a date that can be displayed in the results window in the format yyyy/mm/dd.
I can't seem to find any built-in function in SQL Server that will let me do this. Of course, using Excel or Access, I can use the DATE() function to reconstruct the date into yyyy/mm/dd. Is there a way to reconstruct the date into yyyy/mm/dd in SQL Server?
Newbie question here. I have two tables that have a one to many relationship. I want to create a query that takes the info from the child table (possibly multiple rows) and concatenates it into a single column in the parent table. The tables are:TableParent (ASSIGNNUM (PK), DESC, STARTDATE)TableChild (ASSIGNNUM (FK), EMPLOYEENUM)There could be multiple employees for each assignment. Sample data:TableParent1....First Assignment....05/01/20082....Second Assignment...05/03/20083....Third Assignment....05/07/2008TableChild1....553422....334562....523433....352253....451213....11553I would like the query result to look like this:1....First Assignment....05/01/2008....553422....Second Assignment...05/03/2008....33456,523433....Third Assignment....05/07/2008....35225,45121,11553Any suggestions would be appreciated!
I have a SQL statement that fetches book information via a TITLE_ID which is fine if we only have one edition (hardback), but if there are two editions (hardback and paperback) it will return two rows like:
Title - Author - Edition The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Hdbk The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Pbk
Is there any way to concatenate the Edition field so the two lines become one? I have searched for ways to do this but have had no luck.
Someone please help!. I am trying to create a view in SQL Server 2000 to use for a report but I am having problems with concatenating multiple values into one field. In my example below I am trying to list all records in my queried table in columnA then concatenate a list of all other records that share the same value in column B of the queried table into another field. If there are no other matches for a row in columnA then I would leave the corresponding field in columnB blank. Thanks in advance.
