MS SQL Server :: Split One Field In Multiple New Rows

Parse Field Into Multiple Rows
Hello,I am loading data from our MS Active Directory into our datawarehouse. (check out Mircosofts's Logparser, it can pull data fromADS, server event logs and more. It can also create text files or loaddirectly to SQL. Its free and a pretty useful tool)There is a field that contains the direct reports of a manager. Thedirect report users are delimited by a pipe symbol.I want to breakup the field into multple rows. There can be none, oneor many direct report users in this field.<disclaimer>This is a snippet of an example. This is only an example. I know thatI have not defined PK nor indexes. My focus is how to solve a problemof parsing a field that has multple values into multple rows.</disclaimer>Thanks for any help in advance.RobCREATE TABLE "dbo"."F_ADS_MANAGERS"("MANAGER_KEY" VARCHAR(255) NULL,"DIRECT_REPORTS_CN" VARCHAR(255) NULL);INSERT INTO F_ADS_MANAGERS (MANAGER_KEY, DIRECT_REPORTS_CN)VALUES ('CN=Marilette, 'CN=RobertD,OU=TechnologyGroup,DC=strayer,DC=edu|CN=RobertCamarda,OU=TechnologyGroup,DC=strayer,DC=edu|CN=Mi chelleC,OU=TechnologyGroup,DC=strayer,DC=edu|CN=Magnolia B,OU=TechnologyGroup,DC=strayer,DC=edu|CN=Lee K,OU=TechnologyGroup')I want to end up with 5 rows, 1 row for each user that is seprated bythe PIPE symbol.CN=Marilette CN=Robert D,OU=TechnologyGroup,DC=strayer,DC=eduCN=Marilette CN=RobertCamarda,OU=TechnologyGroup,DC=strayer,DC=eduCN=Marilette CN=Michelle C,OU=TechnologyGroup,DC=strayer,DC=eduCN=Marilette CN=Magnolia B,OU=TechnologyGroup,DC=strayer,DC=eduCN=Marilette CN=Lee K,OU=TechnologyGroup

Concatenate One Field From Multiple Rows?
I have a SQL statement that fetches book information via a TITLE_ID which is fine if we only have one edition (hardback), but if there are two editions (hardback and paperback) it will return two rows like:

Title - Author - Edition
The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Hdbk
The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Pbk

Is there any way to concatenate the Edition field so the two lines become one? I have searched for ways to do this but have had no luck.

Executing Sql Code From Text Field Or From Multiple Varchar(8000) Rows In A Table
Does anyone know of a way to execute sql code from a dynamically builttext field?Before beginning, let me state that I know this db architecture isbuilt solely for frustration and I hope to make it better soon.Unfortunately, there is never a non-crucial time in which we can do anupgrade, so we are stuck for now.Point 1:There are multiple tables: students, courses, cross-referencestudent/courses, teachers, cross-reference teacher/courses, andothers.Point 2:Yearly archiving is done by appending a 2 digit year suffix to thetable and rebuilding the table structure for the current year. Thatis, each of the tables named above has an archive table for 1999,2000, 2001, etc. This leads to many tables and a big mess whenunioning them.Point 3:A history report is run by building a big query that unions each unionof tables (students, courses, etc) by year. This query has grown toobig for a varchar(8000) field. Actually, it's too big for 2 of them.Point 4:I don't want to write code to maintain any more varchar(8000) fieldsfor this query. It should be much more easily handled with atemporary table holding each bit of yearly archive data. I have builtthis and it works fine. I have also figured out how to pull the rowsfrom that table, concatenate them, and insert the resulting lump intoa text field in another table.Point 5:I haven't figured out how to grab the 5 or so records from that tableand execute them on their own. I figured I could grab them, put theminto a text field that's big enough to hold the whole query and thenselect and execute that text field. I've had no luck with that and Ihaven't had any luck finding any references that might help me withthis problem. I keep thinking of nesting execute() calls, but thatdoesn't work.I'm open to questions, potential solutions, hints about different wayto approach the problem, anything.Many thanks in advance,Rick Caborn

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...

Can I Split Matrix Into 2 Or 3 Rows?
Hi All

       I have a matrix with single row. The no. of column varies and sometimes goes to 10-15. So it goes to next page and while exporting it inserts blank pages when exported to PDF. I need the column width at least 2.5cm. I need to break the matrix to next row instead of it going to next page say after 6th or 8th column. I tried to work with the example given in the site http://blogs.msdn.com/chrishays/archive/2004/07/23/HorizontalTables.aspx by Chris Hays. But it is showing matrix for each Row Group, which doesn't meet my requirement.


       I had a work around which worked by putting two matrix one below the other and filtering the columns to be shown in each matrix.

If anybody faced this issue or anybody solved the issue kindy reply which will be very helpful for me.

One more doubt, Can I get the Column number of the matrix?

Thanks in advance

How To Split Out Table Rows Into 3 Tables
I imported all rows of my txt file using SSIS 2005 into a table. I am now trying to figure out how to split out the header, payment rows, and maintenance rows. First, some information.

An example of table results is here:
http://www.webfound.net/split.txt
The table has just one field of type varcha(100) because the incoming file is a fixed length file at 100 bytes per row

The header rows are the rows with HD in them...then followed by detail rows for that header (see here http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg).

I need to

1) Split out the header into a header table
2) Split out the maintenance rows (related to the header) into a maint table
3) Split out the payment rows (related to the header) into a payment table

I'll need to maintain a PK/FK relationship between each Header and it's corresponding maint and payment rows in the other 2 tables.

To determine if it's a payment vs. maintenance row, I need to compare chars 30 - 31. If it contains 'MT' then you know it's a maintenance row, else it's a payment row.

How in the hell do I do this???

SQL View To Split Rows In Single Table...
I've been searching the forums and Google for some help splitting up rows in a table without any luck. I'm not quite sure what to even look for

I have a table is MSSQL 2000 that looks as follows:

Code:

id custnum b1_email b2_email b1_sub b2_sub
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 123456 b1@host1.com b2@host1.com 0 0
2 654321 b1@host2.com b2@host2.com 1 0
3 321654 b1@host3.com b2@host3.com 0 1

Now... I am hoping create a view that splits these rows up so that only a single email address is on each row. I'd like to split it up as follows:

Code:

custnum email sub
----------------------------------
123456 b1@host1.com 0
123456 b2@host1.com 0
654321 b1@host2.com 1
654321 b2@host2.com 0
321654 b1@host3.com 0
321654 b2@host3.com 1

Any help would be great! I imagine some sort of join command can be constructed using a single table?

How To Assign Unique PKs And FKs On Split Of Txt Rows Into DB Tables
SSIS 2005

Ok, I have a task in SSIS that does the following and works:

1) Brings in a txt file

2) Using a conditional component, checks for a value in the row.

3) Based on the value, splits the row into one of 3 tables (Header, Maintenance, or Payment)

Here is a print screen of what I have so far which splits Header rows into it's own table, Maintenance rows into its own table, and Payment Rows into its own table:

http://www.webfound.net/qst_how_to_add_header_PK_and_FKs.JPG

Here is a print screen of the conditional split:

http://www.webfound.net/conditional_split.jpg

Please take a look at the txt file here before it's processed:

http://www.webfound.net/split.txt

http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg

Notice that the pattern is a header row, followed by it's corresponding detail rows. The detail rows are either Maintenance or Payment rows.

I need to somehow during the Script component or some other way, to assign a unique HeaderID (PK) to each of the header rows and add that ID to it's corresponding Maintenance and Payment detail rows in their corresponding tables as a PK. The problem is

1) I don't know how to do this in the flow of the components as I have it now

2) How do I tell it to create a new Header ID and Header FKs for the detail rows based off of each new Header row?

In the end (much later on in my entire package), the goal is to be able to run a stored proc to join and select the Header and Details rows back into a final table so I can then do more processing such as split each header and detail rows into their own txt files, etc....I don't need to go into details why but just know that this is the goal, therefore I need to relate each header row with their corresponding detail rows that are split off into a MaintenanceRow and PaymentRowTable

Can I Split A Field Based On A Character?
Here's a question for the SQL gurus out there:
I have a varchar(20) field DIAGNOSISCODE in a table that can either be null, or contain up to 3 comma-separated codes, each of which relates to a description in another table. For example, some sample rows might be
8060
8060,4450
8060,4123,3245
Now I need to structure a query to return these values from this single field as three fields CODE1, CODE2, CODE3, with NULL as appropriate for example
CODE1=8060, CODE2=4450, CODE3=NULL.
I have been using CASE along with CHARINDEX and PATINDEX but it it becoming extremely messy. Can anyone think of a "neater" way to return three fields from this one field?
Any help very greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Simon.

Conditional Split On Field In Csv File
I know this should be simple but I can't figure it out. I am reading in a csv file to a conditional split task, all I want to do is split the file based on a field. Some values in field will have a suffix say ABCD while others wont. So my conditional split says Right(FieldA,4)=="ABCD" which then splits file in two directions or at least it's meant to. Problem is that it does not work. I think it has something to do with the field type in the csv file although I have tried using a Data Conversion task but to no avail all the field values with ABCD suffix are ignored by my conditional split and head off the same way as other values. Funny thing is is that if I manually add a value to the file with a suffix of ABCD and run task again then the conditional split works on the manually added row and all rows with suffix of ABCD. It's like it does not recognise previous values as string until one is added manually.

Thanks

Split Txt File Into Multiple
How can I split this incoming file into separate txts. I want to cut out each Header/detail row section into a new txt. What I mean by header/detail row:

incoming txt file:

http://www.webfound.net/split.txt

basically want to cut out each section like this:

http://www.webfound.net/what_to_cut.txt

http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg

and a kicker...each new txt name must use a certain field (based on x numbers in header row) followed by another field whcih is the date form the header row. somethign like this:

SUBSTRING(InputFieldBigString,LEN(InputFieldBigString) - 59,4) == "HD" + SUBSTRING(InputFieldBigString,LEN(InputFieldBigString) - 1,8) == "HD" + .txt

I need some hand holding here, it's my first time trying to do something so complicated in SSIS 2005. If I can first just get the txt split into multiple, that would be a big help.

How To Split A Delimited Column Into Mulitple Rows In The Dataflow?
I'm sure there is probably a very easy solution that I am just not seeing or can't Google...

I have a DataFlow that includes a column of Delimited values (i.e. Value1,Value2,etc..). As this DataFlow is populating a parent table, I need split the values into their own dataflow and populate a child table. I've tried a script transformation and couldn't figure out how to accept 1 delimited input row and output multiple rows after a split. Any ideas?

TIA,
Matthew

Split Row's Columns Across Multiple Tables
Hello,

Hoping someone here can help. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I'm surprised not to see a data flow task in SSIS for splitting *columns* to different destinations. I see the Conditional Split task can be used to route a *row* one way or another, but what about columns of a single row?

As a simple and somewhat contrived example, let's say I have a row with twelve fields and I'm importing the row into a normalized data structure. There are three target tables with a 1-to-1 relationship (that is, logically they are one table, but physically they are three tables, with one of them considered the "primary" table), and the twelve input fields can be mapped to four columns in each of the three tables.

How do I "split" the columns? The best way I can see is to Multicast the row to three different OLE-DB Destinations, each of which inserts to one of the three target tables, only grabbing the four fields needed from the input row.

Or should I feed the row through three successive OLE-DB Command tasks, each one inserting into the appropriate table? This would offer the advantage, theoretically, of allowing me to grab the identity-based surrogate primary key from the first of the three inserts in order to enable the two subsequent inserts.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Can I Split A Long .sql File Into Multiple Files?
I have one really long .sql file I'm working on. It's actually a data conversion type script. It's gotten really cumbersome to work on as long as it is. I would like to split up various logical parts of script into their own .sql file.How can I have one file .bat, .sql or whatever call each .sql file in the order I specify? Hoping this is easy.

Arranging Data On Multiple Rows Into A Sigle Row (converting Rows Into Columns)
Hello,
I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row:
user1 answer1user1 answer2user1 answer3user2 answer1user2 answer2user2 answer3
For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer):
user1 answer1 answer2 answer3user2 answer1 answer2 answer3
How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row
Thanx,Danny.

DTS - Split Single Source Record (text) To Multiple Target (sql)
I am using DTS and VBScript in DataPump tasks in order to transfer large amounts of data from text files to an SQL database.

As the database uses a normalized schema, there is often the case of inserting multiple records in a destination table from various fields of the same record of the source text file.

For example, if the source record contains information about goods sold like date, customer, item code, item name and total amount, and does so for a maximum of 3 goods per sale (row), therefore has the structure:

[date], [custid], [code1], [name1], [amount1], [code2], [name2], [amount2], [code3], [name3], [amount3]

trying to transfer that record to a [SALES] target table (in a normalized database), we would have to split each source record as follows:

[date], [custid], [code1], [name1], [amount1]
[date], [custid], [code2], [name2], [amount2]
[date], [custid], [code3], [name3], [amount3]

What is the best way to do this using DTS?

I have tried using a datapump task and VBScript, and I guess it has to do with the DTSTransformStat_**** constants, but none of those I used seems to work

Obtaining Data To Be Displayed In Multiple Columns From Multiple Rows

Hello All,

I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.

I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.

For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report

The table (System Info) looks like:-

ID | System part |
1 | RAM
2 | Disk Drive
10| CPU
11| CD ROM |

Which

So basically I need it to look like this.

Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive|
----------------------------------------------
A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy

So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item
SELECT SYSTEM PART
FROM System Info
WHERE System.ID = 1

How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info

Any help is much appreciated!

Processing Multiple Rows And Multiple Columns In SSIS
I previously posted a problem with result set bindings but I have not been able to resolve my problem. I guess all this comes with being new to programming in this environment! Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to process from an ADO.NET connection multiple rows with multiple columns. I have to read and manipulate each row. I was originally looking at using a foreach loop but have not been able to get it to work. One reply to my previous thought I should be using a data task to accomplish this. Could someone tell me the best way to handle this situation? As a note, I am new to programming in SSIS and basically trying to learn it as I go so please bear with me! 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')

Multiple Foreign Keys On Same Field, Based On Other Field
I have a table called BidItem which has another table calledBidAddendum related to it by foreign key. I have another table calledBidFolder which is related to both BidItem and BidAddendum, based on acolumn called RefId and one called Type, i.e. type 1 is a relationshipto BidItem and type 2 is a relationship to BidAddendum.Is there any way to specify a foreign key that will allow for thedifferent types indicating which table the relationship should existon? Or do I have to have two separate tables with identical columns(and remove the type column) ?? I would prefer not to have multipleidentical tables.
