Concatenating Column Values In SELECT Statement

I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:

SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent
FROM Agents;

I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.

Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!

TIA,
Arthur

Adding Column Values Together In SQL SELECT Statement
I have an SQL Select statement that I need to add a column to called SalePrice, the SalePrice column needs to be calculated by adding together the values of 12 columns, then multiplying that value by the value in a another column to calculate margin.

Problem Concatenating Column Values Into String...
I have a customer who has recently migrated their SQL server to a newserver. In doing so, a portion of a stored procedure has stoppedworking. The code snippet is below:declare @Prefixes varchar(8000),declare @StationID int-- ...select @Prefixes = ''select @Prefixes = @Prefixes + Prefix + '|||'from Devicewhere Station_ID = @StationIDEssentially, we are trying to triple-pipe delimit all the deviceprefixes located at a specified station. This code has workedflawlessly for the last 10 months, but when the database was restoredon the new server, @Prefixes only contains the prefix for the lastdevice.Is there a server, database, or connection option that permits this towork that I am not aware of? Why would this work on the old server andnot on the new? (BTW - both servers are running SQL 2000 StandardSP4).Thanks!

Max Values In A Select Statement
I have a table which has 4 fields, patientid,testdate,testtype,results.
I want to select the most recent testdate by a patient regardless
of the results, or the testtype. I do however need those fields for my query.
I tried the below, but I get more than 1 record if the person has had two different types of tests. For instance if patient 100 has the following 2 records I just want the most recent

patientid testdate testype results

100 01/02/2002 TBI ASYMP
100 02/02/2001 PPD 00000

select max(testdate)as testdate,testtype, other_id_number
from vw_cms_tb_lasttest

What am missing?
Thanks
group by other_id_number,testtype
order by other_id_number,testtype

Getting Different Values From Select Statement
I am running a select statement against a function that is giving me different values depending on how it is called. When I run it through sql server management studio, I get the proper results, the default value column has the parameters default value. When I call it through my web app, I get this in the default value column:
*** ERROR OCCURRED level 2 (this is not a default value) ***

Why would the same sql statement get different results?

Select Statement When Values Are Not Null
Hi.
I have an sql table which contains a number and a name. I would like to create a select statement that will display these two fields in the format :
"number | name", but if there is a null value in the number it will display only the name and vice versa.
How can I do it ?
Any help is appreciated.

Use Listbox Values To Do Select Statement
Hi,
I have SQL database 2000 which has one table Sheet1, I retrieved the columns in the ListBox, then chosed some of them and moved it to ListBox2.
The past scenario worked great, and I checked the moved values, it was succesfully moved, but when I tried to copy the values in ArrayList to do a select statement it didn't worked at all.
public string str;protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ArrayList itemsSelected = new ArrayList(); string sep = ",";
//string str;for (int i = 0; i < ListBox2.Items.Count; i++)
{if (ListBox2.Items[i].Selected)
{
itemsSelected.Add(ListBox2.Items[i].Value);
}
int itemsSelCount = itemsSelected.Count; // integer variable which holds the count of the selected items.
str = ListBox2.Items[i].Value + sep;
Response.Write(str);
}
SqlConnection SqlCon = new SqlConnection("Data Source=AJ-166DCCD87;Initial Catalog=stat_rpt;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False");
String SQL1 = "SELECT " + str + " from Sheet1"; SqlDataAdapter Adptr = new SqlDataAdapter(SQL1, SqlCon);
SqlCommandBuilder CB = new SqlCommandBuilder(Adptr);DataTable Dt = new DataTable();
Adptr.Fill(Dt);
//return Dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
SqlCon.Close();
}
I did some changes and the new error message is
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'from'.
Thank you

Return Select Statement Or Values Using SqlDataSource?
Hello all,
I have been working with a DetailsView control for the past week and it is a great control, but also lacks on some departments. Anyhow I need to know what the best approach for this scenerio would be?
I have a SqlDataSource"

My question is how will I be able to return the retval? Will I need to do it within the code behind of the SqlDataSource Updated Event?
Thanks!

Putting Commas Between Select Statement Values
Hello,

This may be a strange request, but I am going to ask about it anyways.

Say for example if I have a table named TEST and in the table there is a column named NUMBERS, such that it is like this:

NUMBERS
1
2
3
4

How could I use a select statement in a way that a comma would seperate every return value, such that if I go 'Select NUMBERS from TEST' I would get:

1,2,3,4

Instead of:

1
2
3
4

Any ideas?

Thanks

2, A2
3, A3
....
10, A10

Now I want to combine the names into another table grouped by their ID (say 1-5, 6-10), so this new table has two names instead of 10:
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
A6 A7 A8 A9 A10

Is there a function that allows me to 'combine' the names from a select statement?

Thanks in advance,

Overloading Select Statement Return Values
Hey guys,

This is what I think and hope is a fairly straight forward SQL question

Essentially, I have a table which has the following columns that are relevent to my question:

PROJID
ACTIVITY_NAME
COMPLETION_DATE

Rows in this table are, for example:

PROJID    ACTIVITY_NAME    COMPLETION_DATE
1              Prepro                   10/12/2007 3:42:30
2              Prepro                   10/13/2007 9:16:27
2              QA                        10/13/2007 10:00:01
2              Delivery                  10/14/2007 09:31:12
etc.

So, really the key is the PROJID & the ACTIVITY_NAME (really, there's a unique column ID, but for this question, I'll leave it at that).

(Though this should be much easier to accomplish in code, the system is not built that way so) Is there a good way that I could return a status for a given PROJID based on whether a row exists for a given PROJID). In other words, ultimately, I would like to return something like this:

PROJID    LAST_ACTIVITY
----------------------------------------------
1              Prepro
2              Delivery

where the activity order (in this case) is Prepro, QA, Delivery. So because a Delivery row exists for PROJID 2, then the LAST_ACTIVITY would return "Delivery" and because only Prepro exists for PROJID 1, the LAST_ACTIVITY returned would be Prepro

I really appreciate the help

Thanks,
Steve

Concatenating Fields With NULL Values
Hey everyone,

This is probably a very simple question, but I am just stumped. I am storing different name parts in different fields, but I need to create a view that will pull all of those fields together for reports, dropdowns, etc.

Here is my current SELECT statement:

SELECT m.FName + SPACE(1) + m.MName + SPACE(1) + m.LName + ', ' + m.Credentials AS Name,
       m.JobTitle,
       m.Company,
       m.Department,
       m.Address,
       m.City + ', ' + m.State + ' ' + m.Zipcode AS CSZ,
       m.WorkPhone,
       m.FAX,
       m.Email,
       c.Chapter,
       m.Active,
       s.Sector,
       i.Industry
FROM tblMembers m
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblChapters c
ON m.ChapterID = c.ChapterID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblSectors s
ON m.SectorID = s.SectorID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblIndustries i
ON m.IndustryID = i.IndustryID
WHERE m.DRGInclude = 1

My problem is that I don't know how to test for NULL values in a field. When you concatenate fields that contain NULL values, the entire contactenated field returns NULL. I am not aware of an IF statement that is available within the SELECT statement.

The first thing I would like to accomplish is to test to see if MName contains NULL. If it does I do not want to include + SPACE(1) + m.MName in the clause. Then, if Credentials contains NULL I do not want to include + ', ' + m.Credentials in the clause.

Can someone tell me what I am missing? Is there a function that I can use for this?

Thanks,

Select 'many Values' From One Column
I'm building a textbox with search functionality towards SQL 2000.
The textbox is to include various search phrases, like "phrase1 phrase2 phrase3". Sort of like search engines where all words are considered. Do keep in mind that it's SQL2000 and not 2005. I've got all the strings I want to perform the search against in one column but various values in this column.
The only thing I've come up with is to create "WHERE columnName LIKE @phrase1 OR columnName LIKE @phrase2" where I inject % as apropiate and chop up the string, but I'm hoping this is not the solution because it doesn't seem really clean (with 10 search words) and today I'm not having a 'bad-hack' day so I want it better.
Whats is the best way of doing this?
Cheers!

Select Statement Using Multi-list Box Values For WHERE IN SQL Clause
I have a gridview that is based on the selection(s) in a listbox. The gridview renders fine if I only select one value from the listbox. I recive this error though when I select more that one value from the listbox:
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value '4,1' to a column of data type int. If, however, I hard code 4,1 in place of @ListSelection (see below selectCommand WHERE and IN Clauses) the gridview renders perfectly.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceAll" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT dbo.Contacts.Title, dbo.Contacts.FirstName, dbo.Contacts.MI, dbo.Contacts.LastName, dbo.Contacts.Suffix, dbo.Contacts.Dear, dbo.Contacts.Honorific, dbo.Contacts.Address, dbo.Contacts.Address2, dbo.Contacts.City, dbo.Contacts.StateOrProvince, dbo.Contacts.PostalCode FROM dbo.Contacts INNER JOIN dbo.tblListSelection ON dbo.Contacts.ContactID = dbo.tblListSelection.contactID INNER JOIN dbo.ListDescriptions ON dbo.tblListSelection.selListID = dbo.ListDescriptions.ID WHERE (dbo.tblListSelection.selListID IN (@ListSelection)) AND (dbo.Contacts.StateOrProvince LIKE '%') ORDER BY dbo.Contacts.LastName">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="ListSelection" DefaultValue="1"/>
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
The selListID column is type integer in the database.
I'm using the ListBox1_selectedIndexChanged in the code behind like this where I've tried using setting my selectparameter using the label1.text value and the Requst.From(ListBox1.UniqueID) value with the same result:

Protected Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim Item As ListItem
For Each Item In ListBox1.Items
If Item.Selected Then
If Label1.Text <> "" Then
Label1.Text = Label1.Text + Item.Value + ","
Else
Label1.Text = Item.Value + ","
End If
End If
Next
Label1.Text = Label1.Text.TrimEnd(",")
SqlDataSourceAll.SelectParameters("ListSelection").DefaultValue = Request.Form(ListBox1.UniqueID)
End Sub
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks!

Concatenating Using The IIF Statement
Hi Guys,

I am converting Access queries to SQL. One query has a string of IIF statements that can concatenate several strings into one field. For instance:

IIf([Hot Dogs]=-1,"* Wants a Hot Dog ","") &
IIf([Hamburger]=-1,"*Wants a Hamburger ","") &
IIf([mustard]=-1,"*add mustard ","") &
IIf([fries]=-1,"*Include Fries ","") &
IIf([Chips]=-1,"*Include Chips ","")

Consequently the output could be:
*Hamburger *add mustard *Include Chips

I know I can use the Ã¢â‚¬ËœCase When ThenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ statement but how do I concatenate?

Help: Why IN-Operator With Select-Statement It Doesn't Work? But With Given Values It Works
Hello to all,
i have a problem with IN-Operator. I cann't resolve it. I hope that somebody can help me.
I have a IN_Operator sql query like this, this sql query can work. it means that i can get a result 3418:
declare @IDM int;
declare @IDO varchar(8000);
set @IDM = 3418;
set @IDO = '3430'
select *
from wtcomValidRelationships as A
where (A.IDMember = @IDM) and ( @IDO in (3428 , 3430 , 3436 , 3452 , 3460 , 3472 , 3437 , 3422 , 3468 , 3470 , 3451 , 3623 , 3475 , 3595 , 3709 , 3723 , 3594 , 3864 , 3453 , 4080 ))
but these numbers (3428 , 3430 , 3436 , 3452 , 3460 , 3472 , 3437 , 3422 , 3468 , 3470 , 3451 , 3623 , 3475 , 3595 , 3709 , 3723 , 3594 , 3864 , 3453 , 4080 ) come from a select-statement. so if i use select-statement in this query, i get nothing back. this query like this one:select *
from wtcomValidRelationships as A
where (A.IDMember = @IDM) and ( @IDO in (select B.RelationshipIDs from wtcomValidRelationships as B where B.IDMember = @IDM))
I have checked that man can use IN-Operator with select-statement. I don't know why it doesn't work with me. Could somebody help me? Thanks

Concatenating Parameter Values && Text; Nested CASE Statements
Hello. I'm trying to reduce some code in my stored procedure and I'm running into lots of errors. I'm somewhat of a novice with SQL and stored procedures so any help would be beneficial.
I have a SP that gets a page of user data and is also called when sorting by one of the columns (this data is placed in a repeater, btw). I quickly learned that I wasn't able to pass in string parameters the way I had hoped in order to handle the ORDER BY and direction (ASC/DESC) so I'm trying to work around this.
So far I've tried the following with many errors.WITH Users AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CASE WHEN @OrderBy='FirstName' AND @Direction='DESC' THEN (FirstName + ' DESC')
WHEN @OrderBy='FirstName' THEN FirstName
WHEN @OrderBy='LastName' AND @Direction='DESC' THEN (LastName + ' DESC')
WHEN @OrderBy='LastName' THEN LastName
END
) AS Row,
UserID, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, [Role], Active, LastLogin, DateModified, ModifiedBy, ModifiedByName
FROM
vRF_Users
)

SELECT UserID, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, [Role], Active, LastLogin, DateModified, ModifiedBy, ModifiedByName
FROM Users
WHERE Row BETWEEN @StartRowIndex AND @EndRowIndex

I've tried a combination of similar things with parenthesises, without, doing "THEN FirstName DESC" without concatenating anything, etc.
I also tried: DECLARE @OrderByDirection varchar(32)
DECLARE @DESC varchar(4)
SET @DESC = ' DESC'

IF @Direction = 'DESC'
BEGIN
SET @OrderByDirection = (@OrderBy + @DESC)
END
And then writing my case statemet like this:ORDER BY CASE WHEN @Direction='DESC' THEN @OrderByDirection
ELSE @OrderBy
ENDObviously this didn't work either. Is there any way to gracefully accomplish this or do I just have to use a bunch of if/else statements and lots of redundant code to evaluate all my @OrderBy and @Direction parameters???

Thanks in advance,

Select Statement Using Column Numbers
I have a number of lookup tables in my db.
Each table typically has an ID column and a 'lookup values' column.
I want to create a scalar function wherein, by supplying the table name and the ID, I want to retrieve the lookup value and vice-versa. I donot want to create seperate function for each table, which is easy. One function has to return values given the table name and the value of the ID or lookup value.
The problem being faced is how to construct the select statement.
An Execute statement created out of column names, retrieved with Col_Name(), is not useful as Execute statement is not permitted inside a a function.

MT12x10                               10
(etc.)

I have a listbox which users can select MULTIPLE "Manual Labels" or shapes. They then select a property (W for weight, in this case) and a limitation (greater than a value, less than a value, or between two values). From all this, I create a custom Query string or filter to apply to my BindingSource.Filter method. However I have to use the % wildcard to deal with exceptions. If the user only wants W shapes, I use "...LIKE 'W%'" and "...NOT LIKE 'WT%" to be sure to select ONLY W shapes and no WT's. The problems arises, however, when the user wants multiple shapes in general. If I want to select all the "AISC_MANUAL_LABEL" values with W <= 40, I can't do it. An example of a statement I tried to use to select WT% Labels and MT% labels with weight (W)<=100 is:

Code SnippetSELECT     AISC_MANUAL_LABEL, W
FROM         AISC_Shape_Table
WHERE     (W <= 100) AND ((AISC_MANUAL_LABEL LIKE 'MT%') AND (AISC_MANUAL_LABEL LIKE 'WT%'))

It returns a NULL value to me, which i know is NOT because no such values exist. So, I further investigated and tried to use a subquery seeing if IN, ANY, or ALL would work, but to no avail. Can anyone offer up any suggestions? I know that if I can get an example of ONE of them to work, then I'll easily be able to apply it to all of my cases. Otherwise, am I just going about this the hard way or is it even possible? Please, ANY suggestions will help. Thank you in advance.

Concatenating String Column
Hi All,

I am trying to write a select statement which will concatenate all values of a string column and provide me with a result set containing just one row of data containing a concatenation of all values.

For eg:

column1
abc
def
hij
klm
nop

is it possible to write a select statement which would return

result
abcdefghijklmnop

as a result?

TIA
Ketan

How Do I Get The Actual Name Of A Column Or Table In A Sql Select Statement?
Hello fellow .net developers,

In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.

Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.

So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?

Example:

Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers

Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address

I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.

I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.

I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.

Thanks in advance,

Robert

SELECT Statement - How To Not Get Column Field Names?
I do a SELECT * from table command in an ASP page to build a text fileout on our server, but the export is not to allow a field name rows ofrecords.

How To Eliminate Column Header From Select Statement
Hi Everybody:

I want select data from SQL server and save to a file without column header. Anyone has any suggestions? I try PLAIN option in select statement which is described in msdn library as:

"PLAIN:

Prevents column headings from appearing in the query output that is displayed. You can use PLAIN whether or not a TO clause is present. If an INTO clause is included, PLAIN is ignored.

"

However, I tried in both SQL 2000 and SQL 7, none of them supports it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Dynamic Column Names In Select Statement
I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say
Select OrderId from Order.
But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure.

declare @order_id nvarchar(10)
select @order_id = 'OrderID'
SELECT @order_id from Order.

The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.

Concatenating One-to-many Relationship Into A Single Column
Hi,

I need to concatenate a field from certain number of rows. I created a function to return the concatenated value which will be a part of another view/procedure to be used for reporting purposes.

Here's sample data:
iIncidentID iWorkNoteID iseqNum workNoteAll
1 1 1 notes1(1275 chars)
2 1 1 notes2(1275 chars)
2 1 2 notes3(1275 chars)
3 1 1 notes4(1275 chars)
3 1 2 notes5(1275 chars)
3 1 3 notes6(1275 chars)

Final output
iIncidentID workNoteALL
1 notes1(1275 chars)
2 notes2 notes3
3 notes4 notes5 notes6

final woorkNoteAll will be a part of a query in another view which contains many other fields.

Here's the function. I'm passing an ID and based on that ID, the function returns a string. However, when I tested the function it's giving me a null.

/*
--Calling syntax:: Select dbo.getIncidentNotes(187714) as 'Notes'
--Function to get all the latest notes for an incident
*/
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.getIncidentNotes(@iIncidentID int)
RETURNS varchar(8000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @allnotes varchar(8000)
DECLARE @seqnotes varchar(255)
DECLARE @seqnum int
DECLARE @counter int
SELECT @counter=1

SELECT @seqnum = max(iseqnum) from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID

WHILE (@COUNTER <=@seqnum)
BEGIN
SELECT @seqnotes = workNoteALL from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID and iSeqNum=@counter
SELECT @allnotes = @allnotes + @seqnotes
SELECT @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1
END --While Begin
RETURN @allnotes
END

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with the code?

I really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
