Split Function With Cursor


Hi,
I am trying to write a stored procedure that takes a comma separated letter. I have a split function that returns the splitted letters. I have select some values from the tables in the database where the title starts with each splitted letter. I thought I should use cursor that contains each letter and in the while loop i put my select statement with the conditions.
Is this the correct way. Or are there any ideas for this?

thanks,

Regards,
shakthi

Cursor, Conditional Split Task, Nested Joins In SSIS
 

Hello
 
Can anybody help me out in
1) implementing cursors in SSIS. I want to process each row at a time from a dataset. I was trying to use Foreachloop container but in vain. Can you please answer in detail.
 
my few other questions are:
1) Can i do nested inner join in SSIS. If yes, how? ( I have three table i need to join Tab1 to table 2 and get join the table 3 to get the respective data)
2) I have a resultsets. I want to split the data according to data in a col.
Say for instance:
Col1 Col2
A        1
A         2
B        3
C        4
C         5
i want to split the data according A, B and C . i.e., if Col1= A then do this, if Col1= B then do this..etc. How can i do this using conditional split task in SSIS

Need To Find An Easy Way To Split A Column In Table Without Using Cursor Or Temp Tables
Hi ,
I have two tables within a SQL database. The 1st table has an identified column and column which lists one of more email identifers for a second table,
e.g.
ID     Email
--     ----------
1      AS1 AS11
2      AS2 AS3 AS4 AS5
3      AS6 AS7

The second table has a column which has an email identifier and another column which lists one email address for that particular identifier, e.g.
ID      EmailAddress
---     ------------------
AS1      abcstu@emc.com
AS2      abcstu2@emc.com
AS3      abcstu3@emc.com
AS4      abcstu4@em.com
AS5      abcstu5@emc.com
AS6      abcstu6@emc.com
AS7      abcstu7@emc.com
AS11     abcstu8@emc.com
I need to create a stored procedure or function that:
1. Selects an Email from the first table, based on a valid ID,
2. Splits the Email field of the first table (using the space separator) so that there is an array of Emails and then,
3. Selects the relevant EmailAddress value from the second table, based on a valid Email stored in the array
Is there any way that this can be done directly within SQL Server using a stored procedure/function without having to use cursors?

Many Thanks,

Split Function
Hi

I have tried like this. but I cant execute my SP it ended up with errors.

IF (@FirstLetters IS NOT NULL)
BEGIN
SET @FirstLetter = 'SELECT SplitValue FROM dbo.FnSplitString('+@FirstLetters+','',''))'
print @FirstLetter
END

SELECT
P.PUB_ID AS ''PubId'',
P.PUB_TITLE AS ''PubTitle''

FROM HDS_PUBLICATION P
INNER JOIN HN_IM_JOIN IM
ON IM.PUB_UNID = P.PUB_UNID,
HDS_CUSTOM C,
WD_PUBLIC_SHELF S,
HDS_TOPIC T
WHERE P.PUB_UNID = C.PUB_UNID AND C.CUSTOM3 = ''False''
AND P.PUB_ID = S.PUB_ID
AND P.PUB_UNID = T.PUB_UNID
AND S.Audience = ''Public''
' + @FilterByLang + '
ANDP.PUB_TITLE LIKE '+ @FirstLetter +'''%''' +'

EXEC SP

Any one please clear me

Using A Cursor As A Function Parameter
 

I've created a function that converts the rows of a column into a delimited string using a passed cursor and delimiter character.  In the past I did this in Oracle and called it as shown in the following example:
 
SELECT Table1.ID, Table1.FirstName, Table1.LastName, fnDelimitRows(CURSOR(SELECT Table2.CourseName FROM Table2 WHERE Table2.StudentID = Table1.ID), ',') AS AssignedCourses FROM Table1

43   Julio   Johnson   CS200,ENG100,MT300

 
 
How would I pass a cursor into a function in SS like I did above in Oracle?

Dynamic Cursor Versus Forward Only Cursor Gives Poor Performance
Hello,I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a tableB containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressedbelow in pseudo-code:"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)""fetch from A result set""select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option(fast 1)""fetch from B result set" repeated 10 timesIn the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current Arow. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the Aquery and retrieving only the first row.When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to havenested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to exploreother alternatives.I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructedfor the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but Ihave no way of finding out what that query plan is.All help appreciated.Kevin

Name Split
Quick question.

I've got a CHAR (70) field called NAME that has a first and last name separated by a space. I want to split it into two fields FIRST and LAST -- with all the characters to the left of the space a first name and all the characters to the right of the space as last name. I couldn't find a string function that would let me do this simply (it may be right in front of me and I missed it).

Thanks in advance.

To Split Or Not To Split
I have a database with a "large" table containing date based information Basically they're reservations. I've thought about creating a new table and adding any records from past years to this table. For the most part only current reservation need to be searchable, but in some circumstances it would be useful to be able to search through the archive too. so, my questions!!!

Is 8,000 or so rows of data "large" and unwieldly in SQL terms?

Would splitting this data into 2 tables - one small table for current and future reservations and one larger archive table then using a UNION SELECT query to make archive information seachable be a significant improvment on server resources/load or am I making the whole thing more complicated than it need be as 8,000 rows of data is nothing to worry about.............

What did they say about a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing?

Thanks in advance of any guidance to a neophyte!!?

SPLIT() UDF
SQL UDF split()

The objective of this article is to help the SQL developers with an UDF that can be used within a stored procedures or Function to split a string (based on given delimiter) and extract the required portion of the string.

Scripting languages like VB script and Java script have in-built split() functions but there is no such function available in SQL server. In my experience this function is really handy when you’re working on an ASP application with SQL server as backend, whereby you’ll need to pass the ASP page submitted values to the SQL stored procedure.

To give a simple example, in a typical Monthly reporting ASP page – the users would select a range of months and extract the information pertaining to this date range. Classic implementation of this model is to have an ASP page to accept the input parameters and pass the values to the SQL stored procedure (SP). The SP would return a result set which is then formatted in the ASP page as results.

If the date range is continuous ie. JAN07 to MAR07 then the SP can typically accept a ‘From’ and ‘To’ range variables. But I’ve encountered situations whereby the users select 3 months from the current year and 2 months from previous year (non-continuous date ranges). In such scenario the SP cannot have a date range as input parameters.

Typically an ASP programmer would do is by having a single date input parameter in the SP and call the SP within a loop in the ASP page. This is an inefficient way of programming as contacting the database server within an ASP loop could cause performance overhead especially if the table being queried is an online transaction processing table.

Here is how I handled the above situation.

1.Declared one string input parameter of type varchar(8000) (if you’re using SQL 2005 then it is advisable to use Varchar(Max))
2.Pass the ASP submitted values as string, in this case the months selected by user would be supplied to the SP as a string
3.Within the Stored Procedure I’ll call the split() function to extract each month from the string and query the corresponding data

The basic structure of the stored procedure is as pasted below:-

CREATE PROCEDURE FETCH_SALES_DETAIL (
@MONTH VARCHAR(MAX)
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @MONTH_CNT INT,@MTH DATETIME
SET @MONTH_CNT=1
WHILE DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) <> ''
BEGIN
SET @MTH = CAST(DBO.SPLIT(@MONTH,',',@MONTH_CNT) AS DATETIME)
--<<Application specific T-SQLs>>-- (BEGIN)
SELECT [SALES_MONTH],[SALES_QTY],[PRODUCT_ID],[TRANSACTION_DATE]
FROM SALES (NLOCK)
WHERE [SALES_MONTH]= @MTH
--<<Application specific T-SQLs>>--(END)

SET @MONTH_CNT=@MONTH_CNT+1
END
END

Dbo.SPLIT() function takes 3 parameters
1)The main string with the values to be split
2)The delimiter
3)The Nth occurrence of the string to be returned

The functionality of the UDF is as explained STEP by STEP:

1.Function Declaration
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SPLIT]
(
@nstring VARCHAR(MAX),
@deliminator nvarchar(10),
@index int
)

RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)

Function is declared with 3 input parameters:-
@nstring of type VARCHAR(MAX) will hold the main string to be split
@deliminator of type NVARCHAR(10) will hold the delimiter
@index of type INT will hold the index of the string to be returned
2.Variable Declaration
DECLARE @position int
DECLARE @ustr VARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @pcnt int

Three variables are needed within the function. @position is an integer variable that will be used to traverse along the main string. @ustr will store the string to be returned and the @pcnt integer variable to check the index of the delimiter.
3.Variable initialization
SET @position = 1
SET @pcnt = 1
SELECT @ustr = ''
Initialize the variables
4.Main functionality
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@nstring) and @pcnt <= @index
BEGIN
IF SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) <> @deliminator BEGIN
IF @pcnt = @index BEGIN
SET @ustr = @ustr + CAST(SUBSTRING(@nstring, @position, 1) AS nvarchar)
END
SET @position = @position + 1
END
ELSE BEGIN
SET @position = @position + 1
SET @pcnt = @pcnt + 1
END
END

4.1The main while loop is used to traverse through the main string until the word index is less than or equal to the index passed as input parameter.
4.2Within the while loop each character within the string is verified against the delimiter and if it does not match then local word count variable is checked against the input index parameter
4.3If the values are same ie., the input variable index and the word being processed in the while loop are the same then the word is stored in the @ustr variable. If the values does not match then the @position variable is incremented.
4.4If the character matches with the delimiter then the word count variable @pcnt is incremented along with the @position variable

5.Return the value
RETURN @ustr

I hope this article would benefit those who are looking for a handy function to deal with Strings.

Split A String In Sql
Hi I need a stored procedure in SQL that will split a comma separated variable passed to it
select a name for each value and return a recordset. Any pointers greatfully received.
First attempt is dreadfully slow as I am opening recordsets each time

Function func_getFood()
Dim rsfoodsql
Dim foodoutput
for x=1 to ubound(masterfoodarray)-2
set rsfoodsql= objconn.execute ("select foodname from tbl"&language&"food where foodID='"& masterfoodarray(x) &"'")
if not rsfoodsql.eof then
foodoutput=rsfoodsql("foodname")
if not foodoutput="" then
response.write foodoutput&"<BR>"
end if
end if
next
End Function

Hope someone can help,
cheers

Should I Split The Procedure Or Not???
I have a procedure that is going to be called through asp pages. This procedure carries out instructions depending on whether customers wants to insert, update or delete their portfolios. Rules are as follows: 1. It should not allow duplicate portfolio name to insert. 2. If customer has reached their max limit of 20 portfolio they can't add. They may have to delete or update the existing portfolio first. 3. all the error handling is done and returned as output parameters.

Now coming to the question at present I have one procedure that does all these things. Should I split up the procedure and have three procedures handling the events seperately: 1 Insert 2 Delete 3 update The reason I am concerned is 1 procedure being hit so many times by concurrent users with varying events. I am concerned about performance issue and slowing down of the page. I do not have exact numbers of users at this point. But they would be in thousands or more. Thanks for any suggestions or advice you all might have to share. Hiku

Conditional Split
 

Hi,
  In my Excel file I have the columns Col1, Col2. I want to send those records to Sqlserver table only if the Col1 and Col2 is not null.
For this I am using the Conditional Split expression like this: (!ISNULL([Col1])) && (!ISNULL([Col2])). And sending this result to Sqlserver table. But I am not getting any records into the table. But the records col1 and col2 not null exist in Excel file. Is there any thing wrong in my expression?
 
Thanks in advance

Conditional Split
 

Hello Group
 
Can somebody guide me on the prefered standards of doing this
 
I have a Colunm in a table having both NULLS and some data
 
Ex:
Table 1
Col1           Col2
--------------------------
1                MSDN
2                Forum
3                NULL
4                NULL
5                Condition
6                Split
7                NULL
 
I want to move the data from this tabel to two different table depending upon the value in Col2
 
 
Table2
Col1           Col2
--------------------------
1                MSDN
2                Forum
5                Condition
6                Split
 
 
Table 3
Col1           Col2
--------------------------
3                NULL
4                NULL
7                NULL
 

For doing this I used a simple Conditional Split Task after table 1
First Approach
Output Name; Null Data Condition: ISNULL(Col2)
 
I routed the output Null Data to Table3 and the default to Table2.
 
Strangely I see some data in Table3 which is not NULL. That is Table 3 is having a data which is not equal to null in Col2.
I have no clue why will it do that.
 
 
Second approach
Output Name: Data,  Condition: !(ISNULL(Col2))
 
I routed the output: Data to Table2 and the default to Table3.
 
Strangely I see some data in Table3 which is not NULL. That is Table 3 is having a data which is not equal to null in Col2.

Conditional Split
I am using a conditional split to evaluate the condition below.  It should only send records to my SQL Server database if the PatientZip matches one of the eight below and the PatientCity is not Wichita Falls (you wouldn't believe how bad this is mispelled sometimes).  I checked the output table and it has all records for the zipcodes below both matching and non-matching the cityname of Wichita Falls. The table should not have entries for records with the cityname of Wichita Falls.  Do I have the code correct or could I have missed something?
 
LTRIM(PatientCity) != "Wichita Falls" && (PatientZip == "76301" || PatientZip == "76302" || PatientZip == "76305" || PatientZip == "76306" || PatientZip == "76307" || PatientZip == "76308" || PatientZip == "76309" || PatientZip == "76310")

When To Split Up Databases?
I'm converting our companies binary file data to SQL Server data.  I'm a developer, not a dba, and can't seem to get my company to hire a dba, so I need some advice from the community. I have an application running right now, it looks like it will take a week to run.  Here's my estimates of the database size once it 's finished being loaded:
Database Size: 20 Gig
Largest Table (# of rows): 15 million rows
Number of Tables: 37
Other Details: I'm going to use Web Merge Replication to replicate filtered data to 500 customers.

QUESTION:
At what point do I need to consider splitting the database up onto multiple servers?

Or, is it better to split up the database into multiple databases on one server?

Someone suggested to me to split up each customers data into a separate database on the server (i.e. ~500 databases).  Is this an accepted practice?

Split Rows
not sure if this is possible...

but lets say i make a select like

select products, stock from table

and my rs is

chair | 1
couch | 3
lamp | 2

is there anyway in the select to make any row that has stock of more than 1 to make a new row... so my rs would come back as

chair
couch
couch
couch
lamp
lamp

Any info would be helpful...

Thanks,

~ moe
