i would like to loop through the table and concatenate the pocket filed for all the records that has the same pk. and insert the pk and the concatenated string into another table in a timely manner.
I'm new to sql and could do with some help resolving this issue.
My problem is as follows,
I have two tables a BomHeaders table and a BomComponents table which consists of all the components of the boms in the BomHeaders table.
The structure of BOMs means that BOMs reference BOMs within themselves and can potentially go down many levels:
In a simple form it would look like this:
LevelRef: BomA
1component A 1component B 1Bom D 1component C
What i would like to do is potentially create a temporary table which uses the BomReference as a parameter and will loop through the records and bring me back every component from every level
Which would in its simplest form look something like this
LevelRef: BomA
1......component A 1......component B 1......Bom D 2.........Component A 2.........Component C 2.........Bom C 3............Component F 3............Component Z 1......component C
I would like to report against this table on a regular basis for specific BomReferences and although I know some basic SQL this is a little more than at this point in time i'm capable of so any help or advice on the best method of tackling this problem would be greatly appreciated.
also i've created a bit of a diagram just in case my ideas weren't conveyed accurately.
I have a large table that looks like this. (ID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),PK INT , pocket VARCHAR(10)) 1, 1, p12, 1, p23, 2, p34, 2, p45, 3, p56, 3, p67, 4, p78, 5, p19, 5, p210,5, p83 i would like to loop through the table and concatenate the pocket filed for all the records that has the same pk. and insert the pk and the concatenated string into another table in a timely manner. can anyone help? i have to use temporary tables. (not cursors-with cursors i know how to di it, but i want with temporary table) thanks in advance
Loop through #Temp_1 -Execute Sproc_ABC passing in #Temp_1.Field_TUV as parameter -Store result set of Sproc_ABC into #Temp_2 -Update #Temp_1 SET #Temp_1.Field_XYZ= #Temp_2.Field_XYZ End Loop
It appears scary from a performance standpoint, but I'm not sure there's a way around it. I have little experience with loops and cursors in SQL. What would such code look like? And is there a preferable way (assuming I have to call Sproc_ABC using Field_TUV to get the new value for Field_XYZ?
I want to take the contents from a table of appointments and insert theappointments for any given month into a temp table where all theappointments for each day are inserted into a single row with a columnfor each day of the month.Is there a simple way to do this?I have a recordset that looks like:SELECTa.Date,a.Client --contents: Joe, Frank, Fred, Pete, OscarFROMdbo.tblAppointments aWHEREa.date between ...(first and last day of the selected month)What I want to do is to create a temp table that has 31 columnsto hold appointments and insert into each column any appointments forthe date...CREATE TABLE #Appointments (id int identity, Day1 nvarchar(500), Day2nvarchar(500), Day3 nvarchar(500), etc...)Then loop through the recordset above to insert into Day1, Day 2, Day3,etc. all the appointments for that day, with multiple appointmentsseparated by a comma.INSERT INTO#Appointments(Day1)SELECTa.ClientFROMdbo.tblAppointments aWHEREa.date = (...first day of the month)(LOOP to Day31)The results would look likeDay1 Day2 Day3 ...Row1 Joe, PeteFrank,FredMaybe there's an even better way to handle this sort of situation?Thanks,lq
Using a string of IDs passed into a stored procedure as a VARCHAR parameter ('1,2,100,1020,') in an IN without parsing the list to a temp table or table variable. Here's the situation, I've got a stored procedure that is called all the time. It's working with some larger tables (100+ Million rows). The procedure passes in as one of the variables a list of IDs for the large table. This list can have anywhere from 1 to ~100 IDs passed to it.
Currently, we are using a function to parse the list of IDs into a temp table then joining the temp table to get the query:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetStuff] ( @IdList varchar(max) ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED
[Code] .....
The problem we're running into is that since this proc gets called so often, we sometimes run into tempDB contention that slows this down. In my testing (unfortunately I don't have a good way of generating a production load) swapping the #table for an @table didn't make any difference which makes sense to me given that they are both allocated in the tempDB. One approach that I tried was that since the SELECT query is pretty simple, I moved it to dynamic SQL:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetStuff] ( @IdList varchar(max) ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED
[Code] ....
The problem I had there, is that it creates an Ad Hoc plan for the query and only reuses it if the same list of parameters are passed in, so I get a higher CPU cost because it compiles a plan and it also causes the plan cache to bloat since the parameter list is almost always different. Is there an approach that I haven't considered that may get the best of both worlds, avoiding or minimizing tempDB contention but also not having to compile a new plan every time the proc is run?
Please help me with this if you can. I have one table with CustomerID and some other data. In other table i have CustomerID(the link with the first table) and Agent The relation of the first with the second one is ONE TO MANY. I want something like this: Customer,'Agent1,Agent2,Agent3'
I would like to concatenate a String value to an Int value using an SQL statement. At the moment it reads like this:
SELECT 'website.com/shop/product.cfm?ProductID=' + Products.ProductID AS Product_URL
But unfortunately I am getting the error: "Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'website.com/shop/product.cfm?ProductID=' to data type int."
Any idea how to get around this at all just using an SQL query statement?
Hi all I need some help in concatenatng a string in T-SQL. Having used the Command Microsoft Access inside the 'SQL View' window and typed the following it worked perfectly.
Code Snippet
UPDATE tblValidUsers SET blocked_users = blocked_users + 'name_123@hotmail.com;' WHERE userid='Onam'
However attempting the same command in T-SQL I get the following error:
Msg 403, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.
Reason for having this command is I want to be able to add something to the end of the field "blocked_users" without actually overwriting the fields contents.
So for instance if I had the items: "Item1, Item2, Item3" in blocked_users and I updated it with "Item4" then the value "Item4" would be added to the end thus the use of "+" is used to concatenate. Is there a way of doing this in T-SQL?
As I build a record set in an SP I need to add in a string containing a list derived from a second query. I need the results of the sub query to be presented as a single string in the first query, separated by a single space.
I have no idea how to do this in t-sql, and am doing it on the web server at the moment, but becase the dataset is quite large, I'm getting 20 - 40 second processing times which is far too long.
I have found reference to the xp_sprintf function but this is not supported by my host, so not a solution.
I'm no expert in t-sql, so I imagine there's a way somewhere, and would be grateful for any advice available.
To start, I am NOT a SQL programmer. I have to do some minimal SQL administration (DB Creation, Backups, Security) on spatial databases that are for the most part managed by a 3rd party program. My experience with T-SQL is mostly simple tasks (i.e. Select and Update statements)..However I have been requested to calculate an ID Field using the values of two other fields. Per the request, I need to convert one field to Hex and concatenate with the second field.
ex. Field 1 + Field 2(hex string) = Field 3 Field 1 = 'FF02324323' Field 2 = 'Smith Creek' Field 3 = 'FF02324323536D69746820437265656B'
Field 1 VarChar(10) (Code) Field 2 VarChar(65) (Common Name) Field 3 VarChar(max) (ResourceID)
Spent half the day searching and have tried various forms of CAST, CONVERT, fn_varbintohexstr and others but have unable to come up with the correct combination to get what I need.
I've been trying to return hex data in a way that can be concatenated. I need the actual hex info (e.g. 0x6E3C070) as displayed since it contains info about the path to a file. So I can turn it into D:6E3C 7 to get the path to the file. In searching around I have come across a way to do this but can't figure out how to get it to run through a column and either display or insert into a table multiple results.
-Here's the user function that converts an integer into a hex string-
CREATE FUNCTION udf_hex_string (@i int) RETURNS varchar(30) AS BEGIN DECLARE @vb varbinary(8) SET @vb = CONVERT(varbinary(8),@i) DECLARE @hx varchar(30) EXEC master..xp_varbintohexstr @vb, @hx OUT RETURN @hx END GO
--'PageStoreId' contains the data that needs to be converted into the editable hex string --'HexString' is where I'd like it to go so I can parse it later.
--I can run the below select and get the hex string. But am stuck on how to run a select or update that would run through the 'XPages.PagestoreId' column and insert the hex string into the 'XPages.Hexstring' column. 'XPages.PagestoreId' could have 100's of entries that need to be converted and placed in the relevant the 'XPages.Hexstring' column.
The following query works perfectly (returning all words on a list called"Dolch" that do not contain a form of "doing"):SELECT 'Dolch' AS[List Name], dbo.Dolch.vchWordFROM dbo.Dolch LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.CombinedLexicons ON CONTAINS(dbo.Dolch.vchWord,'FORMSOF(INFLECTIONAL, "doing")')WHERE (dbo.CombinedLexicons.vchWord IS NULL)However, what I really want to do requires me to piece two strings together,resulting in a word like "doing". Any time I try to concatinate strings toget this parameter, I get an error.For example:SELECT 'Dolch' AS[List Name], dbo.Dolch.vchWordFROM dbo.Dolch LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.CombinedLexicons ON CONTAINS(dbo.Dolch.vchWord,'FORMSOF(INFLECTIONAL, "do' + 'ing")')WHERE (dbo.CombinedLexicons.vchWord IS NULL)I have also tried using & (as in "do' & 'ing") and various forms of singleand double quotes. Does anyone know a combination that will work?FYI, in case this query looks goofy because of the unused "CombinedLexicons"table, it is because the end result should be a working form of thefollowing...Figuring out the string concatination is just a step toward this goal:SELECT 'Dolch' AS[List Name], dbo.Dolch.vchWordFROM dbo.Dolch LEFT OUTER JOINdbo.CombinedLexicons ON CONTAINS(dbo.Dolch.vchWord,'FORMSOF(INFLECTIONAL, ' + dbo.CombinedLexicons.vchWord + ')')WHERE (dbo.CombinedLexicons.vchWord IS NULL)Thanks!

I need to take a temporary table that has various times stored in a text field (4:30 pm, 11:00 am, 5:30 pm, etc.), convert it to miltary time then cast it as an integer with an update statement kind of like:
Update myTable set MovieTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(5),GETDATE(),108), ':', '')
how this can be done while my temp table is in session?

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.
Hi, I need to concatenate a string with an int variable on a stored procedure; however, i looks like i am lost in single and double quotes. Does any one know the right comination of quotes for this please? My Code is below: 1 @Price int 2 3 DECLARE @SqlPrice varchar(50) 4 5 if (@Price is not null) 6 7 set @sqlPrice = 'AND price' + '' > '' + '' + @Price + '' 8
I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.
I want this query to result in a new table that includes all of the information from the existing table, JobFormPressSpecs PLUS an additional Column with concatenated data as called for below. What am I missing?
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int ) Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID, then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.
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.
In my SSIS package I am using Foreach loopcontainer to load multiple flat files.
Now my requirement is that I want to load only those file which contains %vendor%.In source folder I have many files but I am interested in to load only those file which contains the string %vendor% in file name.
i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it. --no compilation error. CREATE PROC testTemp AS BEGIN INSERT INTO #tmp(dt) SELECT GETDATE() END
only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
Simple example:    declare @tTable(col1 int)    insert into @tTable(col1) values (1)    select * from @tTable
Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.
But when trying to get this same result in a PP table I get an error, idem when replacing table variable by a temporary table.
Message: OLE DB or ODBC error. .... The current operation was cancelled because another operation the the transaction failed.
If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1]  and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; SET XACT_ABORT ON; CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] ( [MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
