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?
I have a row in a SQL table that has 4 numerical values, separated by comma. I'd like to take this and make it 4 separate columns. Values are not always the same length, but are always delimited by commas.
I have a stored procedure that is passed two values. Both are strings representations of GUID values, the first is a single value, the second is a comma delimited string of values.In the stored procedure I call a split function to separate the comma delimited values into a table and this is used in my WHERE clause to filter my select results.This is an example:
Code: SELECT item.uiGUID as ItemGUID, stores.strStoreName as Store, location.strLocationName as Location FROM tblItems as item INNER JOIN tblStoreLocations as location ON item.uiLocationGUID = location.uiGUID INNER JOIN tblStores as stores ON location.uiStoreGUID = stores.uiGUID WHERE CAST(item.uiGUID as varchar(36)) IN (SELECT Value FROM dbo.Split(',',@ItemGUIDList))
When I run this query in the management studio, passing a list of 5 values in the second parameter, my results include one item for each of the 5 values. However, when I pass the parameters from my ASP project, (I've verified the values I think are being passed are indeed being passed), I only get one item.I believe the error is in my split function. Both split functions return the same results in the SQL management studio, but only one returns the correct results in the the ASP project.
When I use this version of the function it returns the correct table values to the calling application, but it chokes when the item list does not have a trailing comma. I figure that to be a bug in the SQL function.
I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
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
I'm passing a comma delimited string to my SP, e.g.:"3,8,10,16,23,24"I need to retreive each number in this string and for every number found I need to execute some sode, say add "AND SportID="+numberfoundHow can I do that?
I have the following table:id name1 yes2 no3 what4 is5 this6 niceThe amount of rows can vary from 1 to 50. I only need the name column.What SQL statement do I have to execute to get the following:yes,no,what,is,this,nice, (trailing , is acceptable)Thanks!
Hi,I would like to parse out each value that is seperatedby a comma in a field and use that value to join to another table.What would be the easiest way to do so without having towrite a function or routine ?EX.Table AAACOL1 COL21 11, 124, 1562 11, 505, 600, 700, ...Table BBBCOL1 COL211 Desc11124 Desc124156 Desc 156
I have 3 tables:tblUsersuserID int PK(...)tblSportsSportID int PK(...)tblUsersAndSports (contains the link between users and sports..a single user may have multiple entries in this table)Usercode intSportID intNow I want a stored proc that enables visitors to search on all user that have a specific sportID.The SportIDs to search on are in the var @sports as a comma delimited string,like '3,6,7'@sports may also be null (or an empty string if that is more convenient for building the SQL) when a visitor does not want to search on any of the sports a user practices, in that case no selection based on the sport criteria should be done, so ONLY filter on sports when the value of @sports is not nullpseudo code:select * from tblUserswhere if @sports not null user.sports in @sportsand username=@usernameand age=@agehelp is greatly appreciated!
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?
I've to write a function to return a comma delimited values from a table columns
If a table has Tab1 ( Col1,Col2,Col3).
E.g. as below ( the columnName content I want to use as columns for my pivot table
CREATE FUNCTION [RPT].[GetListOfCol] ( @vCat NVARCHAR(4000) ) RETURNS @PList AS BEGIN SELECT @PList += N', [' + [ColumnName] +']' FROM [ETL].[TableDef] WHERE [IsActive] = 1 AND [Category] = @vCat RETURN; END;
I want out put to be as below, I am getting this output from the select query independently by declaring @Plist variable and passing @vcat value, now I want it to be returned from a function when called from a select query output ,Colum1,column2,....
I have a table that has some comma separated values and then have another table with the lookup values. I"m not sure why it was created this way and have not had to do this. This is a vendor database so I can't go around and changing things.
Table A IDStageIDs 188 288,86,87 388,87
Table B (Lookup table) IDName 86test1 87test2 88test3
Our front end saves all IP addresses used by a customer as a comma separated string, we need to analyse these to check for blocked IPs which are all stored in another table.
A LIKE statement comparing each string with the 100 or so excluded IPs will be very expensive so I'm thinking it would be less so to split out the comma separated values into tables.
The problem we have is that we never know how many IPs could be stored against a customer, so I'm guessing a function would be the way forward but this is the point I get stuck.
I can remove the 1st IP address into a new column and produce the new list ready for the next removal, also as part of this we would need to create new columns on the fly depending on how many IPs are in the column.
This needs to be repeated for each row
SELECT IP_List , LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) - 1) AS IP_1 , REPLACE(IP_List, LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) +0), '') AS NewIPList1 FROM IpExclusionTest
Using Flat File Connection Manager, I am specifying Text Qualifier = Double quotes{"}, and i have TXT file with one column for lastname and first name as "LN,FN", and settings are set to comma delimted, now the connectin manager is creating two different columns for LN and FN,
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.
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.
Would like to have a view created to display the result at the bottom of this message. We will be using Dreamweaver to display the information from this view. Also, for the record, we are using sql 2000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
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
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.
Cust_ID Name Phone Address1 Address2
Date that I have:
001,juia, anderson,4694568855,,Cedar Spring
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.
