I have a need to query some data and string all my results by id. I am fairly close to the results but stuck on the final piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the scenario: My data looks as follows:
UserID
Results
1095
,,,,,,,
1095
,,,,,8,,
1095
,,,,,,,
1095
,,,,,8,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,
4069
,,,,,,,
4069
,,,,,,,
4069
,,,,,,,
4069
,,,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,
I want to query it and end up with the results all strung together under each UserID as follows:
1095
,,,,,,,,,,,,8,,,,,,,,,,,,,,8,,
1247
,2,3,,,6,,,,2,3,,,6,,,,2,3,,,6,,,,2,3,,,6,,,
4069
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
4070
,,6,,,,,,,6,,,,,,,6,,,,,,,6,,,,,
I know if I use the following code I can string all the results together
select *, Cast((SELECT Results + ',' FROM #temp1 FOR XML PATH('')) as varchar(max) ) as Results from #temp1
But I can't figure out how to break it down by individual UserID. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
We need to concatinate the following two fields and make a third field upto max. of 100 char. While concatinating these two fields, the second field should not be cut in the middle of a word after concatination and should end in "..." as shown in the example below:
Product_name_field1: This is varchar(32) Example: Classic-Fit Pleated-Front Khakis: This is varchar(1000)
Product_name_field2: (length varies from 120-1000 char) Example: We make our khakis of 100% cotton twill and then garment-wash them and ship them for ...
Result: incorrect way: Classic-Fit Pleated-Front Khakis,We make our khakis of 100% cotton twill and then garment-wash th...
Result: Correct way: Classic-Fit Pleated-Front Khakis,We make our khakis of 100% cotton twill and then garment-wash...
I would like to know if this is correct, or is it because I am reading from Oracle?
I do get an error message in query builder, but the query then runs as required. Error in list of function arguments: '|' not recognized. Error in list of function arguments: ',' not recognized. Error in list of function arguments: ')' not recognized. Unable to parse query text.
The situation is something like this id name ------------------ 1 lad 1 big 2 sen 2 zen
The output would be id name ------------------ 1 lad,big 2 sen,zen
Is there a way to implement this is Reporting services.This has to be achieved on the fly which the report is being executed ! Any help on this is highly appreciated .
I have a stored procedure where I want to loop through the nodes of an XML type and use its values to perform string concatination. I'm new to the XML type in SQL Server and to XQuery in T-SQL and am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. The XML samples I've found so far focuses on returning a set of nodes or building XML to store, not reading it in T-SQL and building strings.
I am going crazy trying to figure out how to do this. I have a flat file which I am massaging the data and loading into a table here is an example of a line out of the flat file:
My problem is that I have one field which is this address in a concatinated form. The fields that do not apply to this entry are suite#, floor# and other columns which are designated by the "" characters. The final concatinated addres field looks like this:
"550""""N""FAIR OAKS"""
I would like to remove the "" characters in the concatinated string. I just don't know the best way to do this? I was told DTS had a way of removing the "" from the flat file source. Since I have not used DTS extensively I am not sure if this is true. I was wondering how in SSIS I could go about removing the "" marks without removing the "" say if someone is quoted eg. John said "This is only a test". Removing the quotation marks in this instance would be changing the data. I am not sure how to do this and any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

ok can someone tell me why i get two different answers for the same query. (looking for last day of month for a given date)
SELECT DATEADD(ms, - 3, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m, 0, CAST('12/20/2006' AS datetime)) + 1, 0)) AS Expr1 FROM testsupplierSCNCR I am getting the result of 01/01/2007
"Error: 8624, Severity: 16, State: 1 Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services."
I have traced this to an insert statement that executes as part of a stored procedure.
INSERT INTO ledger (journal__id, account__id,account_recv_info__id,amount)
There is also an auto-increment column called id. There are FK contraints on all of the columns ending in "__id". I have found that if I remove the contraint on account__id the procedure will execute without error. None of the other constraints seem to make a difference. Of course I don't want to remove this key because it is important to the database integrity and should not be causing problems, but apparently it confuses the optimizer.
Also, the strange thing is that I can get the procedure to execute without error when I run it directly through management studio, but I receive the error when executing from .NET code or anything using ODBC (Access).
Hey, i've written a query to search a database dependant on variables chosen by user etc etc. Opened up a new sqldatasource, entered the query shown below and went on to the test query page. Entered some test variables, everything works as it should do. Try to get it to show in a datagrid on a webpage - nothing. No data shows. SELECT dbo.DERIVATIVES.DERIVATIVE_ID, count(*) AS Matches FROM dbo.MAKES INNER JOIN dbo.MODELS ON dbo.MAKES.MAKE_ID = dbo.MODELS.MAKE_ID INNER JOIN dbo.DERIVATIVES ON dbo.MODELS.MODEL_ID = dbo.DERIVATIVES.MODEL_ID INNER JOIN dbo.[VALUES] ON dbo.DERIVATIVES.DERIVATIVE_ID = dbo.[VALUES].DERIVATIVE_ID INNER JOIN dbo.ATTRIBUTES ON dbo.[VALUES].ATTRIBUTE_ID = dbo.ATTRIBUTES.ATTRIBUTE_ID WHERE ((ATTRIBUTES.ATTRIBUTE_ID = @ATT_ID1 and (@VAL1 is null or VALUE = @VAL1)) or (ATTRIBUTES.ATTRIBUTE_ID = @ATT_ID2 and (@VAL2 is null or VALUE = @VAL2)) or (ATTRIBUTES.ATTRIBUTE_ID = @ATT_ID3 and (@VAL3 is null or VALUE = @VAL3)) or (ATTRIBUTES.ATTRIBUTE_ID = @ATT_ID4 and (@VAL4 is null or VALUE = @VAL4)) ) GROUP BY dbo.DERIVATIVES.DERIVATIVE_ID HAVING count(*) >= CASE WHEN @VAL1 IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE WHEN @VAL2 IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE WHEN @VAL3 IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + CASE WHEN @VAL4 IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END -2 ORDER BY count(*) DESC

However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
I'm trying to find the command to open up an odbc conection inside sql2005 express. I only have ues of an odbc connector, we're conection to remedy. We will eventually be using stored procedures to extract the data we need from remedy and doing additional data crunching. I'm a foxpro programmer so once I get the correct syntax for making the odbc connector I shold be ok. Also I need a really good advanced book on sql2005. The type of book that would have my odbc answer. I've spent all morning trying to find this information and was unable to.
Thanks in advance

We have a issue with a MDS server that have been over us for a couple of days, the original error msg from SQL Server Engine is the one "The query processor could not produce a query plan" but the ones we get on the Excel-Addin are "Sequece contains no elements" or "The value cannot be null" T
• Using Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3393.0 (X64) for 6months on this server without issues
• Two weeks ago we started to have 2 errors: "Sequence Contains No Elements" | "The Value Cannot Be Null"
• We are using the last version of Excel Add-in
• We try to reinstall the MDS feature
• If I backup/restore MDS database to other server it works
• We updated to SQL 2012 SP2 + CU4 but the error persisted ...
Looking at the MDSTraceLog we are routed to the this msg

how do I get the variables in the cursor, set statement, to NOT update the temp table with the value of the variable ? I want it to pull a date, not the column name stored in the variable...
create table #temptable (columname varchar(150), columnheader varchar(150), earliestdate varchar(120), mostrecentdate varchar(120)) insert into #temptable SELECT ColumnName, headername, '', '' FROM eddsdbo.[ArtifactViewField] WHERE ItemListType = 'DateTime' AND ArtifactTypeID = 10 --column name declare @cname varchar(30)
-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!! -- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on go if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1 if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
do i need to nest a query in RS if i want a calculated column to be compared against a multi value variable? It looks like coding WHERE calcd name in (@variable) violates SQL syntax. My select looked like
SELECT ... ,CASE enddate WHEN null then 1 else 0 END calcd name FROM... WHERE ... and calcd name in (@variable)
When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!
