Multiple Values For Single Row


hi iam totally new to databases , as a project i have to design a database of users...they have to register first like any site..so i used stored procs and made entries to database using insert command...its working for now..

now every user will search and add other users in the database..so every user will have a contact list...i have no idea how to implement this...

so far i created a table 'UserAccount' with column names as
UserName as varchar(50)
Password as varchar(50)
EmailID as varchar(100)
DateOfJoining as datetime
UserID as int ---> this is unique for user..i enabled automatic increment..and this is primary key..

so now every user must have a list of other userid's.. as contact list..

Any help any ideas will be great since i have no clue how to put multiple values for each row..i didnt even know how to search for this problems solution..iam sorry if this posted somewhere else..
THANK YOU !

if it helps..iam using sql server express edition..and iam accessing using asp.net/C#

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?

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
 

I have a field called "Owners", and it's a child to an "Activities" table.

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.

Thanks!

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.

Retrieving Multiple Values From One Field In SQL Server For Use In Multiple Columsn In Reports
I am trying to create a report using Reporting Services.

My problem right now is that the way the table is constructed, I am trying to pull 3 seperate values i.e. One is the number of Hours, One is the type of work, and the 3rd is the Grade, out of one column and place them in 3 seperate columns in the report.

I can currently get one value but how to get the information I need to be able to use in my reports.

So far what I've been working with SQL Reporting Services 2005 I love it and have made several reports, but this one has got me stumped.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

I might not have made my problem quite clear enough. My table has one column labeled value. The value in that table is linked through an ID field  to another table where the ID's are broken down to one ID =Number of Hours, One ID = Grade and One ID= type of work.

What I'm trying to do is when using these ID's and seperate the value related to those ID's  into 3 seperate columns in a query for using in Reporting Services to create the report

As you can see, I'm attempting to change the name of the same column 3 times to reflect the correct information and then link them all to the person, where one person might have several entries in the other fields.

As you can see I can change the names individually in queries and pull the information seperately, it's when roll them altogether is where I'm running into my problem

Thanks for the suggestions that were made, I apoligize for not making the problem clearer.

Here is a copy of what I'm attempting to accomplish. I didn't have it with me last night when posting.

 

--Pulls the Service Opportunity

SELECT cs.value AS "Service Opportunity"

FROM Cstudent cs

INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid

WHERE ca.name = 'Service Opportunity'

 

--Pulls the Number of Hours

SELECT cs.value AS 'Number of Hours'

FROM Cstudent cs

INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid

WHERE ca.name ='Num of Hours'

 

--Pulls the Person Grade Level

SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'

FROM Cstudent cs

INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid =cs.attributeid

WHERE ca.name ='Grade'

 

--Pulls the Person Number, First and Last Name and Grade Level

SELECT s.personnumber, s.lastname, s.firstname, cs.value as "Grade"

FROM student s

INNER JOIN cperson cs ON cs.personid = s.personid

INNER JOIN cattribute ca ON ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid

WHERE cs.value =(SELECT cs.value AS 'Grade'

WHERE ca.attributeid = cs.attributeid AND ca.name='Grade')

SqlDataReader - Pulling Multiple Values Into Multiple Variables
Hello all,I'm trying to request a number of URLS (one for each user) from my database, then place each of these results into a separate string variables. I believed that SqlDataReader could do this for me, but I am unsure of how to accomplish this, or if I am walking down the wrong road. The current code is below (the section in question is in bold), please ignore the fact that I'm using MySQL as the commands work in the same way. public partial class main : System.Web.UI.Page{    String UserName;    String userId;    String HiveConnectionString;    String Current_Location;    ArrayList Location;    public String Location1;    public String Location2;    public String Location3;    //Int32 x = 0;    private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)    {        if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)        {            UserName = Membership.GetUser().ToString();            userId = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey.ToString();            HiveConnectionString = "Database=hive;Data Source=localhost;User Id=hive_admin;Password=West7647";            using (MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection conn = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection(HiveConnectionString))            {                // Map Updates                 MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand Locationcmd = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand(                        "SELECT Location FROM tracker WHERE Location = IsOnline = '1'");                Locationcmd.Parameters.Add("?PKID", MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.VarChar, 255).Value = userId;                Locationcmd.Connection = conn;                conn.Open();                MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataReader LocationReader = Locationcmd.ExecuteReader();                 while (LocationReader.Read())                {                        Location1 = LocationReader.GetString(0);                        //Location2 = LocationReader.GetString(1); // This does not work..                }                                LocationReader.Close();                conn.Close();                // IP Display                MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand Checkcmd = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand(                        "SELECT UserName FROM tracker WHERE PKID = ?PKID");                Checkcmd.Parameters.Add("?PKID", MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.VarChar, 255).Value = userId;                Checkcmd.Connection = conn;                conn.Open();                object UserExists = Checkcmd.ExecuteScalar();                conn.Close();                if(UserExists == null)                {                    MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand Insertcmd = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand(                        "INSERT INTO tracker (PKID, UserName, IpAddress, IsOnline) VALUES (?PKID, ?Username, ?IpAddress, 1)");                                        Insertcmd.Parameters.Add("?IpAddress", MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.VarChar, 15).Value = Request.UserHostAddress;                    Insertcmd.Parameters.Add("?Username", MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.VarChar, 255).Value = UserName;                    Insertcmd.Parameters.Add("?PKID", MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.VarChar, 255).Value = userId;                    Insertcmd.Connection = conn;                    conn.Open();                    Insertcmd.ExecuteNonQuery();                    conn.Close();                }                else                {                    MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand Updatecmd = new MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand(                        "UPDATE tracker SET IpAddress = ?IpAddress, IsOnline = '1' WHERE UserName = ?Username AND PKID = ?PKID");                    Updatecmd.Parameters.Add("?IpAddress", MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.VarChar, 15).Value = Request.UserHostAddress;                    Updatecmd.Parameters.Add("?Username", MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.VarChar, 255).Value = UserName;                    Updatecmd.Parameters.Add("?PKID", MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDbType.VarChar, 255).Value = userId;                    Updatecmd.Connection = conn;                    conn.Open();                    Updatecmd.ExecuteNonQuery();                    conn.Close();                }            }        }    } Can anyone advise me on what I should be doing (even if its just a "you should be using this command) if this is not correct?

Select Several Values Into A Single Variable
Can somebody please tell me whether the following syntax is supportedor whether it's a "feature" that will someday stop working. It works inboth SQL Server 2000 and 2005 at the moment.declare @var varchar(1000)set @var = ''select @var = @var + colx from some_table where col1 = some_valuecolx is a varchar or at least is cast to one as part of the selectstatement. If the where clause would normally return more than one row,all returned values for colx are concatenated into @var.I've not seen this syntax before but that doesn't make it wrong ;-)Malc.

SQLCE V3.5: Single SDF With Multiple Tables Or Multiple SDFs With Fewer Tables
Hi!  I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout.  I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access.  The 3 categories of data access are:


1 is for configuration-related data.  There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.

1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data.  The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.

1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup.  There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data.
When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system.  That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables.  I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file.  For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data.  And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB.  So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
 
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach.  If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
 
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Bob

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.

Bcp Single CPU Vs Multiple CPU
I'm doing a BCP of a large table 37 million rows. On a single CPU server, SQL 7, sp 3, with 512 meg of RAM, this job runs in about 3 hours. On a 8 way server with 4 Gig of RAM, SQL 7 Enterprise, this job runs 12 hours and is only a third done. The single CPU machine is running one RAID 5 set while the 8 way server is running 4 RAID 5 sets with the database spread out over two of them.

Is there something obvious that a single CPU box would run this much faster?

Single Or Multiple DB For Different Systems?
Hi everyone,

Im having a hard time deciding what approach should I take. The scenario is this: I have developed various systems (inventory, HR, accounting, etc.). All this systems are (and should be) tightly integrated with one another. At present, for all these systems, i've used a single DB prefixing the tables with the systems name (eg. Inventory.Items).

My question is: did I did the right (and practical) thing? Or should I create a DB for each system to organize them? The problem with multiple DBs is some system uses the other system's table(s). Example, if i created a separate DB for accounting, and a separated DB for inventory, and another for HR, how am I going to relate inventory and HR's accounts to the accounting DB's table? I want a single instance for each table; I don't want to create another account table for inventory or HR so I can enforce integrity. And if different DBs, is there a performance impact on this?

Or is there another way? My concern is performance and manageability. Please help. Thanks!

Single Row Into Multiple Rows
Hi All,
 
We've a table as in the following format:













PK_Column1
PK_Column2
Issue_Date1
Issue_Amount1
Issue_Category1
Issue_Reject1
Issue_Date2
Issue_Amount2
Issue_Category2
Issue_Reject2
 
 
We need to divide it into two new tables as follows:
 







UniqueID
PK_Column1
PK_Column2
And











UniqueID
PK_Column1
PK_Column2
Sequence_ID
Issue_Date
Issue_Amount
Issue_Category
Issue_Reject

Unique1
 
 
1
Issue_Date1
Issue_Amount1
Issue_Category1
Issue_Reject1

Unique2
 
 
2
Issue_Date2
Issue_Amount2
Issue_Category2
 

Unique3
 
 
1
xx
 
 
xx

Unique4
 
 
2
xx
 
xx
 

Unique5
 
 
3
xx
 
 
 

 
 
 
4
 
xx
 
 
 
There will be one UniqueID for each row.
We'll get the uniqueID and PK1 and PK2 in a file.
Imp: We need to generate the Sequence_Id depending on number of Issue_dates or Issue_amounts or Issue_Categories or Issue_Rejects as in the above table.
 
Can we do this without using  cursors?
This is going to be one time process.
 
Any ideas are appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Siva.

Single Or Multiple Services
I have 2 systems that will send data to each other.  Each system will originate a particular set of messages, there will be no overlap.  This scenario has transaction data going to a reporting system and management operations going back to the transactional system.  It is semi-related data.

I have two patterns in mind, a combined stream of all messages or 2 streams of segregated messages. 

A.   A single service on each instance would originate a set of messages, process the responses, and receive the other instance's messages.  The responses and original message from the other system would mix on the same Q. The activation procs would have to handle all message types.  The same infrastructure (message types, contracts, Qs, activation stored procs) would be created on both systems.  Although, distinct service names and ports would be used on each instance. 

B.  Two services and two Qs.  1 service would originate a set of messages, process the responses.  The other service would process messages from the other system. The responses and original message from the other system would be on the separate Qs.  There would be 2 infrastructures created.  There could be separate activation stored procs. 

There is just one message type and message validation is only WELL_FORMED_XML.

Which is pattern is better for management and performance?   Should I create 1 service or 2 on each instance?  Either way should work about as well as the other?  2 services are twice as complex to set up. Separation is not necessary, but I like the idea.  1 service will send many more messages (>10x) than the other.  Any thoughts?

Convert Single MDF To Multiple MDF + Ndf + Ndf
 

I have a 100GB db that is all in a single MDF file.
 
I would like to spread this across a few (or several) files, with the data distributed evenly (or close to it).
 
In other words, I would like to have, say 10 files in [PRIMARY] each with 10GB.
 
Any thoughts on how to make this happen?

The grouped values need to be separated by commas.
 
What I'm doing currently:
I'm using  a temp variable to put all these values but am unable to coalesce and get the desired o/p.
 
Can anybody help me out?
 
Thanks,

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?

Storing Comma Separated Values In A Single Column Of A Table
Hi,
I have a table called geofence. It has a primary key geofence_id. Each geofence consists of a set of latitudes and latitudes.
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?

Compressing Multiple Rows With Null Values To One Row With Out Null Values After A Pivot Transform
I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Multiple Columns Into Single Row -- Very Urgent
Hi. I want to return multiple rows into a single row in different columns. For example my query returns something like thisThe query looks like thisSelect ID, TYPE, VALUE From myTable Where filtercondition = 1ID       TYPE       VALUE1         type1      121         type2      152         type1      16   2         type2      19Each ID will have the same number of types and each type for each ID might have a different value. So if there are only two types then each ID will have two types. Now I want to write the query in such a way that it returnsID      TYPE1      TYPE2      VALUE1      VALUE21        type1       type2      12             152        type1       type2      16             19Type1, Type2, Value1, and Value2 are all dynamic.

Spliting Single Row Into Multiple Rows
I have a table that contains many columns in a single row and I'd like to split the table so that it has fewer column values and more rows.
My table structure is:
create table #scoresheet
(Decisions varchar(10), DNumericalValue int, DVI varchar(10), DComments nvarchar(255),
Competence varchar(10), CNumericalValue int, CVI varchar(10), CComments nvarchar(255),
Equipment varchar(10), ENumericalValue int, EVI varchar(10), EComments nvarchar(255));
I would like to have three rows with four columns.
What I've done so far is create a stored procedure that uses a table variable:
create procedure sp_splitsinglerow as

declare @Scoresheet_rows_table_var table (
ReviewArea varchar(25),
NumericalValue int,
VI varchar(10),
Comments nvarchar(255));
insert into @Scoresheet_rows_table_var
(ReviewArea, NumericalValue, VI, Comments)
select Decisions, DNumericalValue, DVI, DComments
from #scoresheet

The trouble with this approach is that I have to explicitly name the columns that I insert into the table variable. What I'd really like to be able to is have a loop construct and select the first 4 columns the first time, the second 4 the next time and the last 4 the third time.

Any ideas on how to achieve that?

BTW, I have resolved this issue by suggesting to the Developers that they change the structure of the original table, but I'd still like to know if there is another solution. :)

Dump Multiple DBs To Single Device
I'm having trouble doing backups of several databases (on a single server) to one device (a disk file).
I created a script with each DUMP statement and when I run it from the query window, it works
just fine. But when I create a stored procedure out of the same script, I get errors because the
second DUMP statement is trying to access the device that is already being written to by the
first DUMP statement.

If I split them apart into different stored procedures, then they seem to overwrite each other and
I end up with only the last database backed up.

I'm trying to put this into a task and that is why I need to put it into stored procedures.

Is there a synchronous/asynchronous setting or parameter that I should be using? For now, I'm
just dumping each to separate devices, but this is a little sumbersome, since I have four
databases to backup for each day of the week. Which gives me a total of 28 separate
devices.

I'm sure there is a better way of doing this. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thank you in
advance.

Multiple Columns From Single Cell
Running SQL2000

I have a one to many relationship between Flag and StudentFlag.  I'm wanting to select each Flag.FlagID that exist as a column that contains the StudentFlag.Value per StudentFlag.StudentID (or null for that column if that StudentFlag row doesn't exist).

This single column appearing multple times in a single dataset has seemed difficult in a select statement.  Is it posible in T-SQL?





Tables, Keys, and Relationships


CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Flag] (
    [FlagID] [int] NOT NULL ,
    [FlagName] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[StudentFlag] (
    [StudentFlagID] [int] NOT NULL ,
    [FlagID] [int] NULL ,
    [StudentID] [int] NOT NULL ,
    [FlagValue] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Flag] WITH NOCHECK ADD
    CONSTRAINT [PK_Flag] PRIMARY KEY  CLUSTERED
    (
        [FlagID]
    )  ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[StudentFlag] WITH NOCHECK ADD
    CONSTRAINT [PK_StudentFlag] PRIMARY KEY  CLUSTERED
    (
        [StudentFlagID]
    )  ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[StudentFlag] ADD
    CONSTRAINT [FK_StudentFlag_Flag] FOREIGN KEY
    (
        [FlagID]
    ) REFERENCES [dbo].[Flag] (
        [FlagID]
    )
GO




Sample Output


StudentID, FlagType1, FlagType2, FlagType3
1, 'yes', '2', null
2, null, null, 'X'
3, null, '7', 'X'
