I am trying to return rows from a query and I want to display the information from 2 columns into one. Here is my query:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.CASES.CaseID, dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES.CaseNumTypeDesc, dbo.CASENUMBERS.CaseNumber, dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS.TopicID, dbo.EVENTS.EventTypeID, dbo.EVENTS.ev_StartDate, dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS.Doc FROM dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS INNER JOIN dbo.CASES ON dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS.CaseID = dbo.CASES.CaseID INNER JOIN dbo.CASENUMBERS ON dbo.CASES.CaseID = dbo.CASENUMBERS.CaseID INNER JOIN dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES ON dbo.CASENUMBERS.CaseNumTypeID = dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES.CaseNumTypeID INNER JOIN dbo.EVENTS ON dbo.CASES.CaseID = dbo.EVENTS.CaseID WHERE (dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES.CaseNumTypeDesc IN ('cc', 'dc')) AND (dbo.EVENTS.EventTypeID IN (7048, 6467)) AND (dbo.SCANNEDDOCUMENTS.TopicID IN (2, 3, 4)) AND (dbo.EVENTS.ev_StartDate > CONVERT(DATETIME, '2008-01-13 00:00:00', 102)) AND (dbo.EVENTS.ev_StartDate < CONVERT(DATETIME, '2008-01-19 00:00:00', 102)) ORDER BY dbo.CASENUMBERTYPES.CaseNumTypeDesc, dbo.CASENUMBERS.CaseNumber
I get this for my return
1526959 CC 228762 2 7048 1/16/2008 12:00:00 AM <Binary data> CC is my CASENUMBERTYPES and the next column (228762) is CASENUMBERS
How can I get it to return it to where the CASENUMBERTYPES and CASENUMBERS show together in one column?
Hi there, I'm trying to concat the results of a select statement into a single row separated by commas without duplicates. The query and output is something like this:SELECT Specification FROM Cars WHERE Model = 112Which would return something like:Specification------------------Model 1Model 2Model 2Model 4 What I'd like is these to be combined into a single row such as:Specification ------------------Model 1, Model 2, Model 4
I want to use a NEWID() to generate order numbers, but i dont want to give customers the long uniqueID. so im wondering if i concatinate it to 8 characters, if that would be safe or not...
I am trying to concat an int with an nvarchar in my select:
select distinct(id + name) from load where name not like '%test%'
but I am getting an error saying: Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Syntax error converting the nvarchar value '灪愭楮敭' to a column of data type int.
My question is: how do you concat int and string in MS SQL Server. The equivalent in Oracle would be ||, I think.
I have a string let's say: "123". I want to convert it to: -- Start SqlServer BEGIN {CALL DBA.applsp_ChangeComments( 'ArtPurchPriceUpdate', 'TRIGGER', 'nl', 'ArtPurchPriceUpdate', '1' + CHAR(13)+ CHAR(10) + '2' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 3' )} END; -- End SqlServer
This works well for oracle and sybase, for sqlserver I can't concatenate in a parameter of a stored procedure. I really want to do this. To create a variable is a lot of extra programming. Is there anyone who knows how to cancat these strings within the stored procedure call?

What I'd like is these to be combined into a single row such as:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY BM.BILL_NUMBER_V) AS [SL_NO],PP.KID_ID_NO_V AS [KID_NO],(PP.FIRSTNAME_V + SPACE(1) + PP.LASTNAME_V)AS [PATIENT_NAME], CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),PP.UPDATEDDATE_D,101)AS [VISIT_DATE],BM.BILL_NUMBER_V AS [BILL_NUMBER],CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),BM.BILL_DATE_D,101) AS [BILL_DATE], ROUND(BM.BILL_AMOUNT_M,2) AS [BILL_AMOUNT],ROUND(BM.CONCESSION_AMOUNT_M,2) AS [CONCESSION_AMOUNT],ROUND(BM.TOTAL_AMOUNT_M,2) AS [TOTAL_AMOUNT],
[Code] .....
In the above query i want to concat symbol '%' for output of percentage column. How to do that?
If I have table1 and table2 with table2 having multiple rows tied to asingle row in table 1.What I am trying to do is set up a view that has one row that showsthe followingtable1.uniqueid, table1.name, table2.row1.detail, table2.row2.detail,table2.row3.detailI'd like to be able to do a select on the view and only come back withone row per widget. If possible, I'd actually like to be able toconcat all the rows from table 2 into one column if that's possible.table1.uniqueid, table1.name, (table2.row1.detail - table2.row2.detail- table2.row3.detail), table1.dateCreatedthxM@
Hello,I have a very simple problem which I will illustrate with an example:I have the following records in my table:A 1 CA 2 CA 3 CB 8 KB 9 KI now want to group them and the result has to be:A 1,2,3 CB 8,9 KSo the results in the second row have to be concatenated. I guessthere is no function to do this... What is the simplest solution?Kind regards,Bart Warnez
I want to concat strings such that if one string is null, it is treated as an empty string. For example 'abc' + NULL = 'abc'.
SQL Server has the CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL defaulted to ON, and it needs to be on in most cases when dealing with indices. (INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, etc.) However, when I am running a select, and one field has a null value, I still want to see the other fields in the resulting string.
I can do this in a function, but I need a view, and the view doesn't seem to let me save a command with 'SET' in it. (However, it does let me run the command! And it works!) It's just when I try to save it, I get a syntax error, so the view is unavailable to me as I want it.
The command that works, but won't save is:
PHP Code:
SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL OFF SELECT t1.field1+'-'+'t2.field2 AS viewField FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.fk1=t2.pk2
I'm wondering how it's possible to have a select statement resultant rows concatenated into one row and column. For example: select letter from alphabet_table a b c d e ... 26 rows returned.
Other than a cursor, how would I write a query to return the following: row1: abcdefghijkl...
SELECT dbo.T1.t1_id, dbo.CONCAT(dbo.T2.product) AS product FROM dbo.T1 INNER JOIN dbo.T2 ON dbo.T1.t1_id = dbo.T2.t1_id GROUP BY dbo.T1.t1_id
but following error is be shown. why? Msg 4121, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot find either column "dbo" or the user-defined function or aggregate "dbo.CONCAT", or the name is ambiguous.
I have the following table called "tests" : id WeekNbrnametest hours -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2007/26John "testA"5 2 2007/26John "testB"6 3 2007/26David "testA"3 4 2007/28David "testC"2 5 2007/30Victor "testD"1
I want to write a query so that I have as a result one row per person and per week, as followed
This means that I need to concatenate the values of the test column if in the same week and same person. For now, I have only managed to do the job without the test concatenation the following way:
SELECT DISTINCT WeekNbr, name, SUM(hours) as [Total of hours] FROM tests GROUP BY WeekNbr, name
and I get the following: WeekNbrnamehours ------------------------------------------------------- 2007/26John 11 2007/26David 3 2007/28David 2 2007/30Victor 1
I have a procedure (a) where i call another procedure (b) passing @message as a parameter to procedure B.
Ex: Create procedure a as Begin declare @prevyear exec b @message = 'avvasdva' + cast(@prevyear as varchar) End
When i execute above procedure, i get error at + sign i.e. @message parameter. how can i concatenate string with another parameter when passing parameters
Hi All,Here's a challenge.If there is a 'one word' answer to this, i.e. the name of a built inSQL Server function I can use, that would be great! However...I have a standard 1:m relationship, e.g. tblHeader and tblDetail.I want to create a view of records from 'tblHeader' and within thatview have a column (called e.g. DetailTypes) that provides a singlecomma separated varchar of values from a varchar field (called e.g.DetailType) that appears in related records in the 'tblDetail' table.(hope you understood that :)e.g. the contents of my 'tblDetail' table could be....Detail ID | Header ID | DetailType-----------------------------------1 | 1 | A2 | 1 | A3 | 1 | B4 | 2 | A5 | 2 | C6 | 3 | BTherefore, the view I want to create should return:Header ID | DetailTypes-------------------------------1 | 2A, 1B2 | 1A, 1C3 | 1Bi.e. the first row can be read as "Header 1 has 2 'A' detail recordsand 1 'B' detail record."I have created a view e.g. 'vqryHeaders' which calls a user definedfunction that takes the HeaderID and opens a cursor on another view,e.g. 'vqryDetailGrouped'. The other view groups the records intblDetail so that I can get a count of each DetailType for each HeaderID. The cursor then loops through the returned records concatenatingthe count and detail type into a comma separated string (as shownabove).However, when I run this across 20k records it is soooo sloooooww. Ihave indexes on the relationship fields and I am using realisticallysized varchars - neither made any difference in speed. It isdefinately the function that I wrote that slows it down as the view islightning fast when I remove my function call.I can supply source code if necessary, but I think that this is akind-of generic problem so I don't see the point - yet.I really hope you can help.Regards,Jezz
I'm new to SQL and I've been trying this for a while now.
I have let's say a loop of numbers from one to ten. It appears like this:
1 2 3 4 5
What I want to do is to have it appear on one column like this: 12345, the problem is I can't seem to figure out if I need to only have one variable or I'm missing something else, I figured you need to convert them into a string character but I'm still unable to do it.
Hi all. I have been going round and round for the past 2 days on this and would appreciate any help. In a view select statement, I need to concat 2 varchar fields with a text field. If I CONVERT the TEXT field to VARCHAR, only the first 30 characters of the field appear in the result set. If I convert the VARCHAR fields to TEXT, I get an error that I cannot CONCAT TEXT fields. I'm not sure what to do. Can someone please offer some assistance? Thanks in advance! Steve
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
Hi there i have this: CAST(CAST(FLOOR(CAST(CREATED AS FLOAT))AS DATETIME) AS varchar)+' '+CAST(SUBJECT as varchar)AS DESCRIPTION And it returns data like this "Jun 13 2008 02:00AM My description" I just want to get the "2008-06-13 My description"
I have the CAST(FLOOR(CAST(CREATED AS FLOAT))AS DATETIME) in another sql-question and that works it returns only "2008-06-13"
