I have a query that returns multiple results
Select fname from table
returns
fred
joe
dave
What I want to do is have the query return only one result like this
"fred, joe, dave"
Any ideas?
Thanks

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a Data Flow Transromation in SSIS to take multiple columns from an excel sheet and concatinate them into one filed.
Ex:
'Strt-Address', 'City', 'State' into 'HomeAddress'.
I could dump them into a temp table and concatinate the fields and insert that into the destination but that seems like a waiste of using SSIS.
Thanks
I have a datetime field for e.g 2015-09-15 00:00:00.000 and an integer field for e.g.100809.
The integer field is actually a time value as in hours,minutes,seconds. For e.g. the value
100809 means
10-hours
08-minutes
09-seconds
I need to combine the datetime and the int field to get the output as below
2015-09-15 10:08:09
I have the folliwing two fields, want tp concatenate:
=Fields!sequenceno.Value & =Fields!LogType.Value
Thank you very much for the information.
Hi guys,
I have the query below (running okay):
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
The results are just as I need:
Field01 Field02
------------- ----------------------
192473 8461760
192474 22810
Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:
Code Block
SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02'
INTO AuxiliaryTable
FROM myTables
WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable
The the results are:
Field02
----------------------
22810
8461760
And what I need is (without showing any other field):
Field02
----------------------
8461760
22810
Is there any good suggestion?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Aldo.
Using this IIF statement:
=CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!Released_DT.Value = Fields!Date2.Value, Fields!Name.Value,
Nothing))
Released_DT = a date - 09/03/2015 or 09/02/2015
Date2 = returns another date value in this case 09/03/2015
What I'm trying to do is: count distinct number of people (Fields!Name.Value) if the Relased_DT = Date2.My IIF statement is returning a zero value.
Is there anyway to determine what the resulting Field Names are going to be from a SQL Statement?
For example:
SELECT TABLE1.FIELD1, TABLE1.FIELD2, TABLE1.FIELD3, TABLE2.FIELD1 AS ANOTHERNAME
FROM TABLE1 INNER JOIN TABLE2 ON TABLE1.PK = TABLE2.FK
resulting field names:
FIELD1
FIELD2
FIELD3
ANOTHERNAME
Seems easy enough splitting all values before "FROM" by comma and doing some manipulation to remove table names and anything before the word "AS". However, it gets more difficult when you have complex CASE statements embedded in you query that may also contain commas.
Just a shot in the dark because I don't know if anyone has already done something like this before.
Thank you in advance,
Jeff

I've got a query where i need to return a max value based on a select but one of the fields i need to return in the results is the records primary key ID No. This messes up the MAX bit and means that all results are returned, not just the max one.
The query i'm using is very long so i've simplified what i mean by the example below. Say i have a table 'Fruits':
ID FruitName Cost1 Apple 0.452 Apple 0.633 Apple 0.524 Pear 0.895 Pear 0.83
And run the query:
select max(Cost),FruitName From Fruitsgroup by FruitName
It'll correctly return:
FruitName CostApple 0.63Pear 0.89
Now i need the ID also returned by my query so i go:
select max(Cost),FruitName,ID From Fruitsgroup by FruitName,ID
This doesnt return the above results with the ID appended to it, it instead returns:
ID FruitName Cost1 Apple 0.452 Apple 0.633 Apple 0.524 Pear 0.895 Pear 0.83
As the ID is always distinct and therefore messes up the grouping. How in this instance would i return the correct result of:
ID FruitName Cost2 Apple 0.634 Pear 0.89
Thanks.

Hello,
Is it possible to generate a identityfield dynamically upon select, like this:
SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username ASC
I want the output to be:
1 - Name12 - Name23 - Name3
The reason for this, is that i want to change the sort order in many diffrent ways, but i need to get the IDs from 1-?? even when the sort order changes.
Like:
SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username DESC
I want the output to be:
1 - Name32 - Name23 - Name1

I'm fairly new to SQL, so this might be simple question:
I am adding records to an SQL7 database by using the INSERT statement. The table has an IDENTITY field which is auto-incremented, so a value is not needed for the field in the query.
Is there any parameters for INSERT that returns to me the value of the IDENTITY field for the record I just created?...
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

IT DOESN'T RUN LIKE THAT
IF 'dbo.uptgrdt.uptgrd11' = '1'
BUT IT RUNS USING IS NOT NULL

is there an easy way to do what i'm trying to?

What is the vb.net syntax to bind data from a sqldatasource to a hidden field in a form?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to set a field value to the column default in an update statement?
Eg.
UPDATE Table2 SET field1 = DefaultValue
where DefaultValue is the field1 column default in the table definition.
The reason I need to do this is when I delete a record from Table1, I need to set the foreign key in Table2 to the default (I don't want to delete the record in Table2, just want to set the key to a default key). I could hard-code the default value in the stored procedure but I think that's just not clean. If I create a new instance of the DB and the default value changes, I'd need to change the stored procedure(s). Just not clean...
To avoid a drawn-out discussion, there are reasons why I can't setup a relationship between the two tables and use "ON DELETE SET DEFAULT".
Any info greatly appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run a like statement that has a datetime column and for some reason it does not return any values. I looked in the SQL help files and in states in there that when trying to select using a datetime that the preferred way of doing it is using a like statment.

SELECT * FROM workorderhistory WHERE wheninstalled LIKE '%2006-02%'
I have this SELECT statement.
SELECT [issueID], [name] FROM [MyIssue]

So let's say the above select statements generates this list:

Winter 2007 Issue
The two addition fields will make the result list like this:

02 Winter 2007 Issue
99 All Issues
How do I accomplish this? Any help is much appreciated.
When I created a CASE statement (This is at work, Pat:)) it is about 30-40 lines long. I gave it a name and set the name = to the case statement:
ie,
SELECT fieldname1 =
CASE
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
ELSE thisandthat
END
, fieldname2
, fieldname3
FROM tablename1
GROUP BY CASE
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
WHEN condition THEN 'blah blah'
ELSE thisandthat
END, , fieldname2, fieldname3
etc.
The long CASE statement in my GROUP BY is awkward to me. Is this the only way to do it? I tried using the fieldname1 but it comes back as an invalid field name and asks for the "expression".

Is there a loop or something I can do in TSQL that'll dothis? I'd like to do this in Query Analyzer since it's just a one-timereport. Thanks --Alex
