How Can I Combine Values Of Multiple Columns Into A Single Column?


 

Suppose that I have a table with following values
Table1
Col1                  Col2                      Col3
-----------------------------------------------------------
P3456               C935876                 T675
P5555               C678909                 T8888
 
And the outcome that I want is:
CombinedValues(ColumnName)
----------------------------------------------
P3456 - C935876 - T675 
P5555 - C678909 - T8888
 
where CombinedValues column contains values of coulmn 1,2 & 3 seperated by '-'
So is there any way to achieve this?

Multiple Columns With Different Values OR Single Column With Multiple Criteria?
Hi,

I have multiple columns in a Single Table and i want to search values in different columns. My table structure is

col1 (identity PK)
col2 (varchar(max))
col3 (varchar(max))

I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3.
suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as

SELECT

TBL.col2,TBL.col3
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2
ON

TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]

Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.

I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information.
for e.g.;
i was thinking to concatinate both fields like
col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA
and in search i use
SELECT

TBL.col4
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result = 1 row

But it don't work in following scenario
col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA

SELECT

TBL.col4
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]

Result=0 Row
Any idea how i can write second query to get result?

Multiple Columns Index/Key (does It Free Me From Creating A Single Column Indexes???)
I hope i'm in the right place, but thanks anyway....

Actually i have 2 questions (regarding sql-server Indices/Keys):

 

1) I have an index, which is consisted of 4 columns.

    I've read elsewhere that this index functions (as well) as an index (single column

    index) on the first column of this multi-column index.

 

    Does this mean that if i'd like to have (in addition) Indices on all of the 4 columns

    seperately i need to define only 3???

 

2) I have a unique key consisted of multiple columns.

    I'd like to save an index to this combination of columns as well (to speed up

    things in DB...).

    Does the definition of a multiple-columns key free me from defining the multiple-

    columns index???

    can anyone explain the main diference between Keys and Indices???

Store Multiple Values In A Single Value
was hoping someone couild provide some insight into a problem I'm trying to solve.

I have a table called SEARCHCRITERIA. It consists of a USERID column and a CRITERIA column. Users will be able to search for other users based on a set of criteria. There are 5 total criteria a user can choose. They can choose as few as none or all five. I'd like to store the criteria chosen as a single number in the SEARCHCRITERIA table. Then use a function to parse out the criteria. For example:

CRITERIAID CRITERIA CRITERIAVALUE
1 AGE 2
2 SEX 4
3 GRADE 8
4 LOCALE 16
5 REGION 32

A user performs a search based on AGE, SEX, and LOCALE. I would then store the value 22 (the sum of 2, 4, and 16) in the SEARCH table. I would then need a function to pull out the three individual values.

Has anyone done anything like this before?

If so, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Show Multiple Values In Single Textbox Comma Separated

An Activity can have on or more owners, and what I'd like to do is some how comma separate the values that come back if there are more than one owners.

I've tried a subreport, but because the row is colored and if another field, title, expands to a second row (b/c of the length) and the subreport has just one name, then the sub-report has some different color underneath due to it being smaller in height.

I'm kinda stuck on how to do this.

Concatenate Values From Same Column But Different Record In Single Row
Hi, I have a difficult case that I need to solve. I will try to be the very clear explaining my problem:


I have a sql query which brings me many records.
This records have a column in common which have the same value (COL1)

There is a second column (COL2) which has different values bewteen these records.
I need to concatenate values from the second column in records with same value in COL1. And I need only one record of the ones that have the same values. If two records have the same COL1 value, only one row should be in my result.

Let me give you an example:
COL1        COL2       
RECORD1        1-A            HHH
RECORD2        1-A            GGG
RECORD3        1-B            LLL
RECORD4        1-B            MMM
RECORD4        1-B            OOO
RECORD5        1-C            NNN

Me result should be:


COL1            COL2       
RECORD          1-A            HHHGGG
RECORD          1-B            LLLMMMOOO
RECORD          1-C            NNN

It is clear what I need? I dont know if I can solve it through sql or any function inside SSIS.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

The Best Method Of Storing Multiple Values For A Single User Criteria In The Database ?
Let's say you had a User table and one of the fields was called Deceased.  It's a simple closed-ended question, so a bit value could be used to satisfy the field, if the person is dead or alive.  Let's say another field is called EyeColor.  A person can have only one eye color and thus one answer should be stored in this value, so this is easy as well.
Now, let's say I want to store all the languages that a specific user can speak.  This isn't as easy as the previous examples since it's not a yes or no or a single-value answer.  I haven't had much experience with working with databases so I've come up with two possible ways with my crude knowledge hehe.
In terms of inputting the multi-answer values, I suppose I could use a multiple-selection listbox, cascading dropdowns, etc.  Now, here are the 2 solutions that came to mind.....
1) Make a field called LanguagesSpoken in the User table.  When I process the selections the user makes on the languages he knows, I can then insert into the LanguagesSpoken field a string "English, Spanish, Czech" or IDs corresponding to the languages like "1, 5, 12" (these IDs would be referenced from a separate table I guess).  I would use commas so that later on, when I need to display a user's profile and show the user's languages, I can retrieve that long string from the LanguagesSpoken field, and parse the languages with the commas I've used.  Using commas would just be a convention I use so I would know how to parse (I could have used "." or "|" or anything else I guess) the data.
2) Forget about the LanguagesSpoken field in the User table altogether, and just make a LanguagesSpoken table.  A simple implementation would have 3 fields (primary key, userId, languageId).  A row would associate a user with a language.  So I would issue a query like "SELECT * FROM LanguagesSpoken WHERE userId=5" (where userId=5 is some user).  Using this method would free me from having to store a string with delimited values into the User table and then to parse data when I need them.  However, I'm not sure how efficient this method would be if the LanguagesSpoken table grows really large since the userIds would NOT be contiguous, the search might take a long time.  I guess I would index the userId field in the LanguagesSpoken table for quicker access?
OR, I may be going about this the wrong way and I'm way out on left field with these 2 solutions.  Is there a better way other than those 2 methods?
I haven't work extensively with databases and I'm just familiar with the basics.  I'm just trying to find out the best-practice implementation for this type of situation.  I'm sure in the real world, situations like this is very common and I wonder how the professionals code this.
Thanks in advance.

Passing Multiple Values To Single Report Parameter Using Cube Surce
Hello Freinds,
                    I'm facing a small problem while passing Multiple Values to a Single Report Parameter, this report is using a Cube as its source. I'm able to assign and send a single value to the report parameter but i'm not finding a way to send more than one value..
The following is the code which i am using to populate my Parameter

Dim Param(0) As Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter
Param(0) = New Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("BUDASADepartment", "[BUDASA].[Department].&[Accommodation]")

In the same 'BUDASADepartment' i want to add one more value as "[BUDASA].[Department].&[Others]" but i'm not able to figure out a way of do'ing it.

Any Suggestions , Thanz !

Columns With Multiple Values ??
Hi,
The values I need to store in the table are

Student ID
Student Name
Subjects

The "Student ID" is the primary key.

A student can take more than 1 subject.

For example:
Student ID: 100
Student Name: Kelly Preston
Subjects: Geography, History, Math

How can I store these values in a database table?
I know the normal "INSERT" statement, but how would I store the multiple subjects for a single student ID?

My "Student ID" is auto generated. If I create a new row for each subject, the Student ID will be different for each subject, which I dont want.

Or I can create a new field called "RowNumber" and keep that the primary key..
For example:

Row Number StudentID StudentName Subject
1 100 Kelly Geography
2 100 Kelly History
3 100 Kelly Math

If this is the only way to store the multiple sibjects, then for a given student ID (say 100), how can I retreieve the associated name and subjects? What is the query for that?

Group By And Count(*) A Single Column Returing Two Counted Values
I am trying to count a column field in a single table and return two count values as one record set using group by.
 
field1 = group by (department) nvarachar
field2 = count (closed) datetime
 
I have tried using derived tables with no luck getting the desired result.
 
field2 is a datetime field as indicated I want a count for two conditions
 
1. WHERE field2 is null
2. WHERE field2 is not null
 
End Results would like this
======
Department | OpenItems | ClosedItems
Department1 | 32 | 24
Departmnet2 | 87 | 46
Department3 | 42 | 76
 
=======
 
I got it *almost* working with derived tables, but the group by function was not putting the department as one single row. I was getting multiple rows for departments.
 
I realize this is probably a simple answer and I am making this a lot harder than it actually is....
 
Any suggestions?

So I defined two columns latitude and longitude and their type is varchar. I want to store all latitude/longitude values as a comma separated values in latitude/longitude columns
So in general how do people implement these types of requirements in relational databases?

Counting Multiple Values From The Same Column And Grouping By A Another Column
This is a report I'm trying to build in SQL Reporting Services. I can do it in a hacky way adding two data sets and showing two tables, but I'm sure there is a better way.

TheTable
Order# Customer Status

STATUS has valid values of PROCESSED and INPROGRESS

The query I'm trying to build is Count of Processed and INProgress orders for a given Customer.

I can get them one at a time with something like this in two different datasets and showing two tables, but how do I achieve the same in one query?

Select Customer, Count (*) As Status1
FROM TheTable
Where (Status = N'Shipped')
Group By Customer

Extracting Data From Columns That Contain Multiple Values Spearated By A Comma
Hi all,

If I have a column in one table (contracts) that contains a set of values (codes that identify the fields contract code) like as follows...


Code:


Contracts table
--------------------------------
Concode - description
--------------------------------
KIDD - Kidderminster General
UNIV - University Hospitals



and then another table (controls) which has a column called contracts where the data within the 'Contracts' field is set out like the following (yes that is right, each of the data in this column are the Foreign Keys which are separated by '/' in which I need to query against the contracts table ) ...


Code:


controls table
--------------------------
Code - Contracts
--------------------------
BA - KIDD /UNIV /NWPCT



With the those tables and the columns like they are, how can I get my query to display the following information...


PHP Code:




---------------------------------------------------
Con(Controls table) - Description(contracts table)
---------------------------------------------------
             BA          - Kidderminster General
             BA          - University Hospitals
--------------------------------------------------- 






I'm guessing my first job is to somehow extract those Foreign Keys from the 'Contracts' column in the 'Control' table

Query To Parse Out Values From One Column Into Different Columns
I have a table where different types of values are stored in one field, but I need to seperate them into different fields based on a value in another field.

For (hypothetical) example:

There is an existing table with following info in three columns:
userid record recordtag
1 joe 1
1 j 2
1 jr 3
2 bob 1
2 a 2
2 sr 3
where recordtag indicates (1 for first name, 2 for middle initial, 3 for suffix)

I need to query these records for a report so it the output is:

userID firstname middleinitial suffix
1 joe j jr
2 bob a sr


What's the most efficient approach to create a query that will give me desired results? I have managed to create a very complex query that derives tables for each column I want to create and queries off of that derived table for the 'record' value based on the 'recordtag' values for a given 'userid'. The query is extremely slow, so I know there's some better way out there to get the results I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
