Splitting Values
Apr 25, 2007
I have a sql2005 db. I'm trying to perform a query that takes a list of values in a parm, breaks them up and uses them in an IN clause as follows:
<code>
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SelectPartialOrderListByDate]
@StoreID varchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT DISTINCT O.OrderID, M.InitialSalesCode, M.DateOccurred, M.ErrorCode
FROM dbo.OrderInfo O WITH (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN dbo.Message M WITH (NOLOCK) ON O.OrderID = M.OrderID
WHERE O.StoreID IN (@StoreID)
END
</code>
The values coming into the procedure are obviously in a varchar string format.
Notice the boldfacing above. The values within this IN clause should be something like this after the conversion: IN (87,108).
How can I accomplish this? I've seen examples of creating a UDF and returning a table, but am not sure how to apply that to my situation via a code sample.
Could someone help me out?

Hi,
I have a table that has multiple postal codes in one of the columns. Those have to be split up one per line and stored in another table. The zip codes are comma seperated. Is there a function that can do this...?
Example data in ZipCodeTable. (Name and ZipCode are 2 columns in a table)
NameZipCode
Area119930,19970,19971,19944
Area219934,19938,19901,19903,19904
Area319994,19838
output Table should be:
NameZipCode
Area119930
Area119970
Area119971
Area119944
Area219934
Area219938
Area219901
Area219903
Area219904
Area319994
Area319838
Any thoughts on this would be of much help !!..
Thanks

How do I write a query using the split function for the following requirement.I have a table in the following way
Identity Name Col1 Col2 Col3
1 Test1 1,2,3 200,300,400 3,4,6
2 Test2 3,4,5 300,455,600 2,3,8
I want an output in the following format
Identity Name Col1 Col2 Col3
1 Test1 1 200 3
1 Test1 2 300 4
1 Test1 3 400 6
2 Test2 3 300 2
2 Test2 4 455 3
2 Test2 5 600 8
If you see the data, first element in col1 is matched to first element in col2 and 3 after splitting the string.

Hi Everyone,I've been given the painstaking project of splitting a single column into multiple columns and rows. I have a solution set up in which I will be posting further down the post but I want to see if there is a much more efficient solution to this.sample data:create table tbl_list(pk_int_itmid int(5) Primary Key,vchar_desk vchar(300));create table tbl_test1(fk_int_itmid int(5) references tbl_list(pk_int_itmid),vchar_itm varchar(60));insert into tbl_list values(1, 'this item');insert into tbl_list values(2, 'that item');insert into tbl_list values(3, 'those items');insert into tbl_test1 values(1, 'A, B - C, D, E - F, G, H - I');insert into tbl_test1 values(2, 'J, K - L, M, N - O');insert into tbl_test1 values(3, 'P, Q - R');into this table:create table tbl_output(fk_int_itmid int(5) references tbl_list(pk_int_itmid),vchar_itmA varchar(60),vchar_itmB varchar(60),vchar_itmC varchar(60));Output in comma delimited form:'1', 'A', 'B', 'C''1', 'D', 'E', 'F''1', 'G', 'H', 'I''2', 'J', 'K', 'L''2', 'M', 'N', 'O''3', 'P', 'Q', 'R'my current solution:create view vw_itm_a as select fk_int_itmid, substring(vchar_itm, 0, charindex('-',vchar_itm)) as vchar_itmA,substring(vchar_itm, charindex('-',vchar_itm)+1 , charindex(',',vchar_itm)-charindex('-',vchar_itm)) as vchar_itmB,substring(vchar_itm, charindex(',',vchar_itm)+1) as vchar_itmCfrom tbl_test1where charindex(',',vchar_itm) >1Gocreate view vw_itm_b as select fk_int_itmid, substring(vchar_itm, 0, charindex('-',vchar_itm)) as vchar_itmA,substring(vchar_itm, charindex('-',vchar_itm)+1 , charindex(',',vchar_itm)-charindex('-',vchar_itm)) as vchar_itmB,substring(vchar_itm, charindex(',',vchar_itm)+1) as vchar_itmCfrom vw_itm_awhere charindex(',',vchar_itmC) >1;Gocreate view vw_itm_c as select fk_int_itmid, substring(vchar_itmC, 0, charindex('-',vchar_itmC)) as vchar_itmA,substring(vchar_itmC, charindex('-',vchar_itmC)+1 , charindex(',',vchar_itmC)-charindex('-',vchar_itmC)) as vchar_itmB,substring(vchar_itmC, charindex(',',vchar_itmC)+1) as vchar_itmCfrom vw_itm_bwhere charindex(',',vchar_itmC) >1;Go;create view vw_itm_d asselect fk_int_itmid, vchar_itmA, vchar_itmB,substring(substring(vchar_itm, charindex(',',vchar_itm)+1), 0, charindex(',',vchar_itm)) as vchar_itmCfrom vw_itm_a ia union vw_itm_b ib on ia.fk_int_itmid = ib.fk_int_itmidGo;create view vw_itm_e asselect fk_int_itmid, vchar_itmA, vchar_itmB,substring(substring(vchar_itm, charindex(',',vchar_itm)+1), 0, charindex(',',vchar_itm)) as vchar_itmCfrom vw_itm_c ia union vw_itm_b ib on ia.fk_int_itmid = ib.fk_int_itmidGo;create view vw_itm asselect fk_int_itmid, vchar_itmA, vchar_itmC, vchar_itmC from vw_itm_awhere fk_int_itmid not in (select fk_int_itmid from vw_itm_b)unionselect fk_int_itmid, vchar_itmA, vchar_itmC, vchar_itmC from vw_itm_dunionselect fk_int_itmid, vchar_itmA, vchar_itmC, vchar_itmC from vw_itm_bwhere fk_int_itmid not in (select fk_int_itmid from vw_itm_c)unionselect fk_int_itmid, vchar_itmA, vchar_itmC, vchar_itmC from vw_itm_eunionselect fk_int_itmid, vchar_itmA, vchar_itmC, vchar_itmC from vw_itm_cGo;select fk_int_itmid, vchar_itmA, vchar_itmC, vchar_itmC into tbl_outputfrom vw_itmIs there a much more efficient manner of handling this column splitting?ThanksDC

I have a table that contains agrrements and contracts with dates. Now I need to calculate some things and I'd like the rows to only have one month per row.
I have rows like:
Agreement, Start, End
ID001, 2004-01-01, 2004-04-30
If I could get these single rows that contains 4 months into a temptable like this:
Agreement, Start, End
ID001, 2004-01-01, 2004-01-31
ID001, 2004-02-01, 2004-02-29
ID001, 2004-03-01, 2004-03-31
ID001, 2004-04-01, 2004-04-30
It would simplify my calculations very much. How to do this with a query or sp?

I everyone, I have been on the admin side of IT for the past 20 years and recently started to do some scripting (VBscript) and a little SQL.
I have developed a solution to meet the needs of some federal auditors, but not really met my needs yet.
What I have done is this.
I use MS Logparser to go out to 64 servers and copy the event logs into a DB on a SQL 2000 Ent. Server.
On the SQL server I have one StoredProcedure that parses out information from the security event log DB and put that info into a temp DB.
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stp_SecurityAuditReport]
AS
TRUNCATE TABLE SecurityEvents_Tmp
-- Parse Bank Number & UserName
INSERT INTO SecurityEvents_Tmp(DepartmentNumber, UserName, EventLog, RecordNumber, TimeGenerated, TimeWritten, EventID, EventType, EventTypeName, EventCategory, EventCategoryName, SourceName, Strings, ComputerName, SID, Message, Data)
SELECT
DepartmentNumber = '001',
UserName = CASE
WHEN Strings LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,1,charindex('|',Strings,1)-1)
WHEN Strings LIKE '-|[0-9][0-9][0-9]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,3,charindex('|',Strings,3)-3)
WHEN Strings LIKE '-|[a-z]%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,3,charindex('|',Strings,3)-3)
WHEN Strings LIKE 'Account Unlocked. |%'
THEN SUBSTRING(Strings,21,charindex('|',Strings,21)-21)
ELSE SUBSTRING(Strings,1,charindex('|',Strings,1)-1)
END,
Events.*
FROM Events
JOIN EventsToLog on Events.EventID = EventsToLog.EventID
WHERE SID NOT LIKE 'S-%'
-- Update blank usernames
UPDATE SecurityEvents_Tmp SET UserName = 'NO USERNAME'
WHERE UserName = '' OR UserName = '-'
-- Update DepartmentNumbers with zeros
UPDATE SecurityEvents_Tmp SET
DepartmentNumber = CASE
WHEN UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][a-z]%' OR
UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]#%' OR
UserName LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]$%'
THEN SUBSTRING(UserName,1,3)
ELSE '001' END
As you can see, we use 3 didgit numeric prefixes on all Departmental employee accounts. This is later used to produce departmenntal user audit reports.
I then have this script in a DTS that exports the report to an excel spreadsheet. (All works well for this purpose!)
DECLARE @TimeGenerated datetime
SELECT @TimeGenerated = TimeGenerated FROM SecurityEvents_TimeGenerated
DECLARE @TimeGeneratedEnd datetime
SELECT @TimeGeneratedEnd = TimeGeneratedEnd FROM SecurityEvents_TimeGenerated
SELECT DepartmentName = CASE WHEN b.DepartmentName IS NULL
THEN 'All Department' ELSE b.DepartmentName END,
a.EventID,d.EventDescription,a.UserName, a.TimeGenerated,c.Email1,c.Email2,c.Email3,c.Email4
FROM SecurityEvents_Tmp a
LEFT JOIN DepartmentList b on a.DepartmentNumber = b.DepartmentNumber
LEFT JOIN EmailToList c on b.DepartmentNumber = c.DepartmentNumber
JOIN EventsToLog d on a.EventID = d.EventID
WHERE b.Departmentnumber in (select Departmentnumber from Departmentlist)
AND a.TimeGenerated BETWEEN @TimeGenerated AND @TimeGeneratedEnd
ORDER BY b.DepartmentNumber,a.EventID,a.TimeGenerated
This combination of utils and scripts does very good for producing generic security reports for branch officers.
But now I am getting requests to justify/explain what is in these reports. The problem I have is that the information needed to delve further into the event logs is in a field called Strings. This field not only changes in length and the amount of fields within this string, but the information in this field changes depending on the type of event record it came from.
This is the Strings field from a failed logon (529)
200jenil|DOMAIN|10|User32 |Negotiate|SERVER|SERVER$|DOMAIN|(0x0,0x3E7)|6920|-|10.190.12.10|48397
And this is from Event ID 642 which was an account being created.
-|381$cmiller|DOMAIN|%{S-1-5-21-3554868564-134719009-1577582102-7972}|Jmotta|DOMAIN|(0x0,0x58F635E)|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|%%1792|-|-
Now, my script does a good job of getting the first user name out but as in the 642 event the second users name would be useful as well. This is the person that created/modified the user account.
So what I was hoping was that I could use a function (or whatever) to automaticaly split the Strings value into it's individual components and put them into an auto-sizing temp table as something like Field1, Field2, Field3, and so on until the end of string.
I could then use a case to get the information needed.
HELP PLEASE!!
Thank You,
John Fuhrman

I have a large db (sql 2005 express) that is, well, basically a mess. It is not normalized properly and contains masses amount of data (due to so much repeating data). To make a long story short - this db needs to be redesigned, but management said no, so that is not an option - so please, no one suggest that that's what I do.
My application creates reports based on this db - the problem is, the sp's are slow - and when a report needs to run several reports, it takes a long time to run. The sp's and db have been optimized as best I can (adding indexes etc.,)
I was wondering if there is a way to split the db - what I want to do is just retain, say 2 years of data in 1 db, and store the rest of the data in the other db, as 2 years worth of data is 95% of what will be queried. I did copy over 2 years worth for testing, and reports that took 30 minutes in the existing db, take less than 1 minute (sometimes even faster) in the new db - a huge improvement.
My problem is how to deal with the times that I need more than 2 years worth of data - how do I query both db's to get my application to read the data from both db's so that it seems that I am only running one db? The new db would be updated daily with new data, but not the old db - so if I had to query 10 years worth of data, I need 2 years from the first db, and then the 8 yeas from the second db.
If anyone can provide some feedback or point me in the right direction of what I should research in order to accomplish the above - I would appreciate it.
If anyone knows of a better solution - please don't be shy - speak up! :)
Thanks - ann

Hello,I have been placed in charge of migrating an old access based databaseover to sql server 7.0. So far, I have imported all the tables intosql server, but now I have come across the issue of needing to split astring variable. For instance, in the old database, the variable forname was such that it included both first and last names, whereas inthe new database there are seperate entities for first and last name.I know that there is a way to write a script that will separate out thetwo strings by using the "space" in between the name, but I'munfamiliar how to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks!Rick

I know that for the first bit I can use a combination of PATINDEX and LEFT, but not sure how I can pull out the rest of them.

I'm trying to split a hyphen-delimited string into three columns in a view. I've been using substring and len to split up the string, but it is getting very complicated (and isn't working in all cases). I've used a SPLIT function in vbscript - does t-sql have anything similar? I've attached a spreadsheet that shows what I am looking for. Maybe someone can guide me in the right direction?

I have 5 records in a table called "testing" as such:
LetterCdcontact_id
x1
x2
x3
x4
x5
How can I split this dataset so that three records have LetterCd = 'y' and the other 2 records have LetterCd = 'x'? The number of records can vary, but the idea is the same: split the values in the LetterCd column evenly (50% = 'x', 50% = 'y'). LetterCd is varchar(25) and contact_id is int. I can't update the data, it would have to be a SELECT statement with some sort of CASE statement to get the remainder of the record count?

Running SQL 2005
Current Query is as follows:
SELECT
vPerf.DateTime,
vPerf.SampleCount,
vPerf.AverageValue,
vPerf.MinValue,
[code]....
This query was working well because I used to only be interested in one counter that was returned in the column, which was 'Free Megabytes'...I now have additional data that shows up as 'Total Disk Space'...Ideally, the query would return the total disk space next to the free megabytes on the same row for the same disk drive. Here is a couple rows of sample output:
AverageValueInstanceNameObjectNameCounterName
44549 C: LogicalDiskFree Megabytes
44548 C: LogicalDiskFree Megabytes
69452 C: LogicalDiskTotal Disk Space
69452 C: LogicalDiskTotal Disk Space
This is the ideal format, the average value column goes away:

When I accept my input data, it's convenient to read it in from a flat file as a fixed width file with a width of 100. Then I run a splitter to split the input into two different paths (path_1 and path_2, say), based on an indicator field.
The output of path_1 has 1 column with width of 100, but now I want to split it up into lots of little columns. The output of path_2 also has 1 column with a width of 100, but I want to split it up, too, only using a different fixed width map than i used for path_1.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I am trying to create a table of counts but it is running too long and would be a waste of paper so in essence I want the table to wrap at the 50% mark. As far as I understand theres no way to do that with just one table in RS so Im planning on using two tables and filtering them somehow.
I have been looking at the top % and bottom % filters but they dont seem to work for my purposes.
