How To Merge Multiple Rows One Column Data Into A Single Row With Multiple Columns
Mar 3, 2008
Please can anyone help me for the following?
I want to merge multiple rows (eg. 3rows) into a single row with multip columns.
for eg:
data
Date Shift Reading
01-MAR-08 1 879.880
01-MAR-08 2 854.858
01-MAR-08 3 833.836
02-MAR-08 1 809.810
02-MAR-08 2 785.784
02-MAR-08 3 761.760
i want output for the above as:
Date Shift1 Shift2 Shift3
01-MAR-08 879.880 854.858 833.836
02-MAR-08 809.810 785.784 761.760
Please help me.
Multiple Columns With Different Values OR Single Column With Multiple Criteria?
Aug 22, 2007Hi,
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?

Multiple Columns Index/Key (does It Free Me From Creating A Single Column Indexes???)
Apr 12, 2007I hope i'm in the right place, but thanks anyway....
Actually i have 2 questions (regarding sql-server Indices/Keys):
1) I have an index, which is consisted of 4 columns.
I've read elsewhere that this index functions (as well) as an index (single column
index) on the first column of this multi-column index.
Does this mean that if i'd like to have (in addition) Indices on all of the 4 columns
seperately i need to define only 3???
2) I have a unique key consisted of multiple columns.
I'd like to save an index to this combination of columns as well (to speed up
things in DB...).
Does the definition of a multiple-columns key free me from defining the multiple-
columns index???
can anyone explain the main diference between Keys and Indices???

View 22 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2008 :: Comparing / Merging Records In Single Table?
Jun 2, 2015I'm trying to avoid a large amount of manual data manipulation.
Here's the background: Legacy system that has (well let's call apples apples) pretty much no method of enforcing data integrity, which has caused a fairly decent amount of garbage data to be inserted in some tables. Pulling one of the [Individuals] table from within this Legacy system and inserting it into a production system, into the Table schema currently in place to track [Individuals] in this Production system.
Problem: Inserting the information is easy, how to deduplicate the records that exist within the staging table that the legacy [Individuals] table has been dumped into in production, prior to insertion. (Wanting to do this programmatically with SQL or SSIS preferably, so that I can alter it later to allow for updating existing/inserting new)
Staging Table Schema:
;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[stage_Individuals](
[SysID] [int] NULL, --Unique, though it's not an index intended to identify the [Individuals]
[JJISID] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[NameLast] [nvarchar](30) NULL,
[NameFirst] [nvarchar](30) NULL,
[NameMiddle] [nvarchar](30) NULL,
[code]....
Scenario: There are records that duplicate the JJISID, though this value is supposed to be unique for every individual. The SYSID is just a Clustered Index (I'm assuming) within the Legacy system and will be most likely dropped when inserted into the Production [Inviduals] table. There are records that are missing their JJISID, though this isn't supposed to happen either, but have valid information within SSN/DOB/Name/etc that can be merged into the correct record that has a JJISID assigned. There is really no data conformity, some records have NULLS for everything except JJISID, or some records will have all the [Individuals] information excluding the JJISID.
Currently I am running the following SQL just to get a list of the records that have a duplicate JJISID (I have other's that partition by Name/DOB/etc and will adapt whatever I come up with to be used for those as well):
;
select j.*
from (select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY JJISID ORDER BY JJISID) as RowNum, stage_Individuals.*, COUNT(*) OVER (partition by jjisid) as cnt from stage_Individuals) as j
where cnt > 1 and j.JJISID is not nullNow, with SQL Server 2012 or later I could use LAG and LEAD w/ the RowNum value to do my data manipulation...but that won't work because we are on SQL Server 2008 in this environment.
[URL]
With, the following as a potential solution:
GSquared (3/16/2010)Here's a query that seems to do what you need. Try it, let me know if it works.
Performance on it will be a problem, but I can't fine tune that. You'll need to look at various method for getting this kind of data from the table and work out which variation will be best for your data. Without access to the actual table, I can't do that.
;
WITH CTE
AS (SELECT master_id,
MIN(ID) AS first_id,
MAX(Account_Expiry) AS latest_expiry
FROM #People
GROUP BY master_id)
SELECT P1.master_id,
[code].....
Unfortunately, I don't think that will accomplish what I'm looking for - I have some records that are duplicated 6 times, and I'm wanting to keep the values within these that aren't NULL.
Basically what I'm looking for, is to update any column with a NULL value to the corresponding Duplicate [Individuals] record value for that column.
**EDIT - Example, Record 1 has a JJISID with NULL NameFirst & NameLast BUT Record 2 has the same JJISID and values for NameFirst & NameLast. I'm wanting to propogate the NameFirst & NameLast from Record2 into Record1

Transact SQL :: Comparing 2 Records / Multiple Instances In The Same Table For A Specific Combination?

This part looks easy but the problem is for a User there can be multiple records and I have 2 compare each record with its previous instance based on the timestamp. Not only I have to compare I have to perform some analysis. Below is the Table script and sample output.
Givens: All SQL Server 2008 or 2012 tools at your disposal.
Production database contains the following tables (simplified for example: constraints ignored, etc.) associated with a racing video game’s server.
-- A player of our game
-- Table greater than 10 million rows
CREATE
TABLE [dbo].[User]
(
[UserId]
[bigint] NOT
NULL
,[country]
[int] NULL
-- User’s home country
,[name]
[nvarchar](15)
NULL -- User’s displayable name (‘John’, ‘Bill’)

)
-- 0 == free, 1 == paid, for instance
Assume that rows get written into the event tables at a rate of 1,000 a minute,are never updated once written and currently are only read on a replica/reporting server.
Question Background: Write up a single query that would return the following: List of users and whose “TotalMoneyEarned” value ever grew (between logon events) at a rate of more than 1,000 per minute (we’d consider these suspicious and flag them for later investigation).
For instance, if the sample data were:
-- example of [Events.UserLogon] data -- not the query output we want
EventId UserId TotalMoneyEarned LogonDate
----------- -------------------- ---------------- -----------------------
1 1 1000 2010-10-16 00:19:56.460
2 1 1500 2010-10-16 00:20:56.460
3 1 3000 2010-10-16 00:21:56.460
4 1 10000 2010-10-16 00:29:56.460
Event 1 is okay because there’s nothing to compare it against
Event 2 is okay because the TotalMoneyEarned only grew 500 in a minute
Event 3 should be flagged, as the value grew 1500 in a minute
Event 4 is okay, as it grew 7,000 in 8 minutes (< 1000 per minute)
Query Output (your query should return data in a format like this):
User Flagged Logon Time Rate Since Last Logon (money/minute)
John 2010-10-16 00:21:56 1500
Dave 2010-10-16 00:30:50 3200
Bill 2010-10-16 00:35:23 1000
It is likely that you will need to create sample data for both the User and [Events.Logon] tables. We are looking for a single query that returns data like what is represented in Query Output.
Comparing Column Values Among 2 Or More Rows
Jun 29, 2012I've been working with T-SQL in a MSSQL Server Management Studio (2005) for about a week now. I've been trying to convert some horribly written VB code from a MS Access DB over to SQL so it can be automated on a SQL backend.
Most of the learning process and coding has gone surprisingly well. The problem is with comparing some data to determine which one needs to be flagged.
Three tables to note in bold, with notable fields in italics below them:
EmployeeData
HRID (identity)
ResourceAllocation
ID (identity)
[Last Name] (linked to HRID)
Project
[Resource Start Date]
[Resource End Date]
[Percent Utilization]
tblHCvalues
RAID (linked to ResourceAllocation.ID)
a monthyear and quarteryear for every month and quarter from 2012-2014. IE january12, february12, 1q12, 2q13, etc...
And yes, there are probably a thousand ways to optimize that tblHCvalues, but I'll ask about that later. Just work with the structure I have
Here's how it works: Each employee's data and unique HRID is in the EmployeeData tableAn employee can be on one or multiple projects at any timeThose projects are stored per project in the ResourceAllocation table with a link to the Employee's HRID, and all the other information listed aboveEven though an employee might be on two projects, they can only count for headcount on one project.
We use rules that compare the percent of work being done on a project, and the start and end dates of the employee (resource) on that project to determine which project should be counted for Headcount. The code uses a cursor to go through each HRID, and then pull up all the ResourceAllocation records associated with it.Run the rules to determine which ResourceAllocation record counts toward headcountA stored procedure then runs that fills out the tblHCvalues in the way we want for the project we want
All of it works, except for the rules that compare the things, so that's what I want to focus on in this thread. How do I write these rules:
Here are the rules, and they should work for any number of multiple resource allocations for one employee:
Choose the ResourceAllocation with the greatest [Percent Utilization]If the top ResourceAllocations have equal [Percent Utilization], choose the ResourceAllocation with the earliest [Resource Start Date]If the [Percent Utilization] and the [Resource Start Date] are equal, choose the latest [Resource End Date]If all three fields are equal, choose the first ResourceAllocation (aka, screw it and pick one at random)
I'm sure I could use a bunch of IF statements to compare it all, but even that is complicated to think about. There has to be an easier way, right?

I need to take all the col1 values and then i need to compare to each other.

Because of difference in col1 values . the value of flag should be fail.

Thetable holds the question and the possible choices in a varchar fieldseparated by a delimiter.- member_id is self-explanatory- answer is a varchar field of all the choices the user selected,separated by a delimiter.Here is my problem.I am trying to search all members that have answered, say, question_id= 2 where they selected 'brown' as one of their choices.i can do this if they selected ONLY that item, but not multiple items.The problem is this portionanswer in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist.....I need this to be something like....function_to_return_all_separated_answers(answer) in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlistThe current way, it is only returning members that have an answer'Brown', not 'Brown, Blue' in their answer field. Make any sense? So,what I need to do is separate the list of answers and say :select member_id from profile_answers whereANY ANSWER in function_to_split(answer) MATCHES ANY OF THESE (selectvalu from dbo.iter_intlist...It seems I might have to join or something, I am just a little lostright now.Here is my proc.ALTER procedure search_detailed_get_ids@question_id as integer,@answers as varchar(8000),@member_ids ntextasdeclare @v as varchar(8000)--get the delimited string of all possible answersset @v = (select bind_data from profiles_questions where question_id =@question_id)--prepare it for the function only accepting 1 charset @v = replace(@v, '||', '|')--gimme all members that matchselect member_id from profiles_answers where question_id = @question_idand answer in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@v, '|') where listpos in(select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@answers, ',')))and member_id in (select valu from dbo.iter_intlist_to_table(@member_ids, ','))returngo
