Search On Concatenated Fields In Sql Server
Sep 21, 2005
Greetings,
I used to do this kind of query in Ingres, where I concatenate
(+)various fields as one field and search accordingly.
Is there an equivalent method in SQL server ?
SELECT a.rsrcid,a.rsrchqnumber,c.perslastname,c.persfirst name,
b.asgtid,b.asgtactualstartdate,b.asgtactualenddate ,
CASE b.enumstate
WHEN '2' THEN 'Running'
WHEN '3' THEN 'Cancelled'
WHEN '4' THEN 'Closed'
WHEN '6' THEN 'Open'
END AS status
FROM pblocal.dbo.resources a
INNER JOIN pblocal.dbo.assignments b ON b.asgtrsrcguid = a.rsrcguid
INNER JOIN pblocal.dbo.persons c ON c.persguid = a.rsrcpersguid
WHERE a.rsrcid+a.rsrchqnumber+c.perslastname+c.persfirst name not in
(SELECT e.rsrcid+e.rsrchqnumber+g.perslastname+g.persfirst name
FROM dtlocal.dbo.resources e
INNER JOIN dtlocal.dbo.assignments f ON f.asgtrsrcguid = e.rsrcguid
INNER JOIN dtlocal.dbo.users h ON h.userguid = e.rsrcuserguid
INNER JOIN dtlocal.dbo.persons g ON g.persguid = h.userpersguid)

I have designed an SSIS package and in a data flow task I've defined my source and destination components and mapped all the fields. The task works fine as long as I have the same number of fields in my CSV file as what I have defined in the task.
The issue is that if my CSV contains more fields than what are declared in the mapping, then the extra fields at the end of each line are concatenated into the last column defined in my map. For instance:
CSV SQL
Product -> Product
M0 -> M0
M1 -> M1
M2 -> M2
This works fine, but if my CSV file looks like this:
Product
M0
M1
M2
M3
M4
The values in fields M3 and M4 are concatenated with M2 and all 3 are imported into field M2 in my sql table. Any ideas?

(I'm using MS SQL 2000)
I've two tables that I've made from some query subsets. Each table has a varchar field with notes/memos and I want to concatenate the fields into one long field.
The problem I'm running into is that when I run the query to check the concatenation, the field is truncated maybe 256 chars in.
I tried converting and casting the field as nvarchar 4000, and I've also done the same for the fields in the two tables, but that doesn't seem to help.
I can query for the fields from each table and none of them are truncated by themselves. It only happens after I concatenate them.
I've created a new table and inserted the results into it, but the field in it is also truncated.
Am I missing something obvious here?

I've done some simple sql's for searching a field using Like,But this one is different.
I am adding a param named @searchText
I would like to bring back all records in all the fields listedbelow that has that string in the field...
WHERE a.manufacturer = b.manufacturerIDAND a.location = c.locationIDAND a.Status = d.statusIDAND a.EquipmentType = e.IDAND a.calLab = f.ID AND a.testTechnology = g.id AND (c.locationID = @location OR @location = 0)
So, each line/field above I want to search for the string and includein the dataset.
Anyone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

I have 2 tables.
Clients
Contacts (multiple contacts for one client)
I'm trying to do a search that pulls a contacts where the search matches either the First Name, last Name or the clients name. If it does return clients, I'd like it to also return all the contacts associated with it.
I have two problems:
1. The query is not bringing up a lot of clients. In many cases a letter brings nothing back. Like G and H even though A and B return results.
2. If it finds a client it only returns one contact. I'd like it to return all contacts for the client.
Here's my query:
SELECT addressbook.clientid, clients.clientname, addressbook.addressid, addressbook.fname, addressbook.lname FROM clients, addressbook where clients.clientid = addressbook.addressid
AND (addressbook.fname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR addressbook.lname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR clients.clientname LIKE
'" . strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%')

I apologize for the newbie sort of question, but I could not find an answer in an SQL book nor via Google.
I wish to search for a text string in ALL fields of a table. This will be used to provide a simple search box in a web application.
So far, the only method I've found to accomplish this is follows:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE SerialNumber LIKE '%searchstring%' OR UserName LIKE '%searchstring%' OR Location LIKE '%searchstring%' ... etc
My goal is to accomplish something like the following. This, of course, does not execute properly since * can only be used following SELECT, but you can get an idea of the target behavior:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE * LIKE '%searchstring%'
I'm using MSDE with Visual Basic .Net. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks for all help,
Kieran

I have a scenario of where the standard Full-Text search identifies keywords but Semantic Search does not recognize them as keywords. I'm hoping to understand why Semantic Search might not recognize them. The context this is being used in medical terminology and the specific key words I noticed missing right off the bat were medications.
For instance, if I put the following string into a FT indexed table
'J9355 - Trastuzumab (Herceptin)'
AND
'J9355 - Trastuzumab emtansine'
The Semantic Search recognized 'Herceptin' and 'Emtansine' but not 'Trastuzumab'
Nor in
'J8999 - Everolimus (Afinitor)'
It did not recognize 'Afinitor' as a keyword.
In all cases the Base of Full-Text did find those keywords and were identifiable using the dmvsys.dm_fts_index_keywords_by_document.It does show the index as having completed.
why certain words might not be picked up while others would be? Could it be a language/dictionary issue? I am using English and accent insensitive settings?

would you use sql server "full text search" feature as your site index? from some reason i can't make index server my site search catalog, and i wonder if the full text is the solution. i think that i wll have to you create new table called some thing like "site text" and i will need to write every text twice- one the the table (let's say "articles table") and one to the text. other wise- there is problems finding the right urlof the text, searching different tables with different columns name and so on...
so i thought create site search table, with the columns:
id, text, url
and to write every thing to this table.
but some how ot look the wrong way, that every forum post, every article, album picture or joke will insert twice to the sqr server...
what do you think?

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.

I'm just wonder if this is a bug in MS Search or am I doing something wrong.
I have a query below
declare @search_clause varchar(255)
set @Search_Clause = ' "hepatitis b" and "hepatocellular carcinoma"'
select * from results
where contains(finding,@search_clause)
I don't get the correct result at all.
If I change my search_clause to "hepatitis" and "hepatocellular carcinoma -- without the "b"
then i get the correct result.
It seems MS Search doesn't like the phrase contain one letter or some sort or is it a know bug?
Anyone know?
Thanks

OMG i'm so stupid, i edited my original post instead of replying!!
I was wondering if there was away to write a stored procedure where I concatenate several columns to create a Phrase and use that Phrase as a new value to do a second search in another table.
Example.
Table 1.
Column1 (Modem) Column2 (Highspeed) Column3 (Black)
Concatenated to be MODEM HIGHSPEED BLACK.
The 2nd table has the concatenated value as it's own column and 2nd column for the number in Inventory.
Column1 (MODEM HIGHSPEED BLACK) Column2 (44)

How do I prevent the following null 'Answer'?This SQL will return a null string for 'Answer' whenever the count is null either for 'subquery-1' or for 'subquery-2', even though the other is not null. I need a string in either case. It would be better to have 'Answer' be "f1=, f2=25" than to have nothing. It doesn't seem right that both COUNT's have to be non-null to get anything other than null for the concatenated 'Answer'. There ought to be a way for COUNT to return 0 in some cases where it now returns null. I'd expect/prefer an 'Answer' of "f1=0, f2=25" or maybe even "f1=<null>, f2=25".I expect I'd have the same problem with nulls even if I wasn't using subqueries.SELECT 'f1='+CAST(COUNT(subquery-1) AS VARCHAR)+', f2='+CAST(COUNT(subquery-2) AS VARCHAR) AS AnswerFROM table1WHERE condition=5GROUP BY fieldX

I've got a system that's grown like Topsy over the years and is now being asked to do things it was never designed for. As such I'm having to attempt ever more workarounds.
In a simple 3 column table
tbl1
(
SSN char(9),
reason varchar(50),
group char(1)
)
I have a batched stored proc that selects rows based on the SSN
select reason, group
from tbl
where group = 'I' AND ssn = @ssn;
select reason, group
from tbl
where group = 'C' AND ssn = @ssn;
select reason, group
from tbl
where group = 'N' AND ssn = @ssn;
Now they want to group the rows and I'd really like to know beforehand how many and which groups to expect. So, I need to add a 4th batch select to the top of the statement that would return a up to 3 char string that indicates which groups are following. Something like IN or IC or CN, etc.
This should be a trivial query but I can't figure it out.
Thanks.

So I've run into another problem. I've figured out how to concatenate multiple rows into a single string my only problem is using that on another query with multiple rows...Basically what I'm trying to do is pull up information for each class a student has in his/her profile and while at it pull up any prerequisite classes that are associated with a certain class. So the final query would look something like this...
StudClassID Completed Class ID Name Description Credits Prereq... rest are insignificant...
0 0 CSC200 Cool prog... blah.... 3 CSC160, CSC180
I get the concept of the coalesce and cast just i'm not understanding how to get it to work with each return on the main select...anyways below are the tables and my current query call...

Hello,
We are creating an app to search through products. On the presentation layer, we allow a user to 'select' categories (up to 10 check boxes). When we get the selected check boxes, we create a concatenated string with the values.
My question is: when I pass the concatenated string to the SPROC, how would I write a select statement that would search through the category field, and find the values in the concatenated string?
Will I have to create Dynamic SQL to do this?...or... can I do something like this...
@ConcatenatedString --eg. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM TABLE WHERE CategoryId LIKE @ConcatenatedString
Thanks for your help.

Here is the problem.
I have table such as this
PK selection VARCHARPK selection_choice VARCHAR show BIT
When I use the sqlDataSource to create an update it creates this.UPDATE lu_selection_choices SET show = @show WHERE (selection = @selection) AND (selection_choice = @selection_choice)
Now this is OK, but when you perform an update and in say a details control you change the selection_choice the value of the parameter @selection_choice is going to be equal to the old data. So it performs a successful update on show which isn't being changed selection_choice is.
So the questions is. Is there anyway to tell the update function of the datasource to insert the a new parameter with the SET selection_choice = @SOME NEW PARAM slection_choice?
Thanks,
Darren King

Hi everyone. I need help extracting information from a concatenated field delimited by a '/' character. I know that the logic is to basically find the position of the '/' character and use the substring function to extract the data but I am unfamiliar with how to do this in SQL Server 2000. Please see examples below. Thanks in advance.
FIELD
----------
1234/4567
2345/6754
1234
I need to extract the data before and after the '/' character. There are records however with on the leftmost part of the data such as row number 3.
FIELD 1 FIELD 2
------------------
1234 4567
2345 6754

Hi folks,I have an issue with a column I created in my query called Instance.SELECT Object_Id, Event_type, Audience, Subject, Provider, Academic_Year, Start_date, End_date, CONVERT(varchar, Academic_Year) + ' (' + CONVERT(varchar, Start_date, 103) + ') : ' + Event_type AS InstanceFROM EventsORDER BY Event_type Above is my query. The problem is because the start date column can be null, it also returns the Instance column as null for that row.I thought it would have just missed out the date and display the rest, but it doesn't.Is there any way I could get the Instance column to display a value, when the start date is null?ThanksEdit: Managed to sort it using ISNULL()
