Merging Rows Within Same Table

Jul 20, 2005

I need to populate a table from several sources of raw data. For a
given security (stock) it is possible to only receive PARTS of
information from each of the different sources. It is also possible
to have conflicting data.

I am looking to make a composite picture of a given security using the
following rules:

1) The goal is to replace all NULL and Blank values with data

2) Order of precedence (from highest to lowest) is Non-NULL Non-Blank
--> Blank --> NULL

3) In the case of Non-NULL Non-Blank values that conflict (are
different) leave existing value (even if NULL or Blank)

For example:

Given the following rows:

Symbol Identity IdSource Exchange Type SubType Name
-------- ------------ --------- --------- ------- ---------
------------------
TZA 901145102 CUSIP XNYS Stock NULL TV AZTECA
TZA 901145102 NULL NULL NULL NULL

WSM 969904101 CUSIP XNYS Stock NULL WILLIAMS
SONOMA
WSM 969904101 NULL XNYS Stock NULL
WILLIAMS-SONOMA
WSM CUSIP XNYS Stock Common NULL
WSM NULL CUSIP XASE Stock NULL WILLIAMS
SONOMA

TYC 902124106 CUSIP XNYS Stock NULL TYCO
TYC 902124106 CUSIP XNYS Stock NULL TYCO
INTERNATIONAL


I am looking for the following results ('*' indicates changed value)

Symbol Identity IdSource Exchange Type SubType Name
-------- ------------ --------- --------- ------- ---------
------------------
TZA 901145102 CUSIP XNYS Stock NULL TV AZTECA
TZA 901145102 *CUSIP *XNYS *Stock NULL *TV AZTECA

CustomerNo, ContactNo, ActivityNo
null, null, 1
100, null, 1
null, 666, 1
null, null, 2
200, null, 2

Merging Like Rows

Jan 20, 2008

Hi All,

I have a query that I'm working on, but instead of giving the query, I wanted to ask a basic syntax question. If more info is needed, let me know. If you have 2 rows that have a common relationship, but differing information in some fields, can you merge them all onto one row? I've done this with Sum(case) expressions, but I don't want to 'add' anything. In the following example, the ActivityID refers to a break. ActivityID can be:

0=Pick up
1=Drop Off
2=Lunch
3=Break

So if I wanted to see 2 breaks on 1 row in the following example, would this be possible:



Veh ActID ArrTime DepTime
1 3 7:00 8:00
1 3 10:00 11:00



Veh ActID ArrTime DepTime ArrTime DepTime
1 3 7:00 8:00 10:00 11:00


Thanks in advance for your help!

Merging Two Rows Into A Single One

Mar 5, 2012

I'm using a shipping program called endicia professional that allows for database manipulation to make my processing easier. I've managed to fix the database here and there but have had an issue combining orders from a single customer when theybuy more than one item. Ideally I would like to have it combine rows when a customer purchases items going to the same address. To avoid having an issue where the address line is the same ie two people live in the same appt complex and it combines these I thought we could use qualifiers as the purchase will have name, order Id that should be unique enough

Order-id name address sku
1234 John 46 easy ln. A27
1234 John 46 easy ln. B32

Results:
Order-id name address sku
1234 John 46 easy ln. A27,b32

Merging Rows In A View

Apr 29, 2004

Hi Im having trouble with this it seems simple enough but its not!

I have a source Table called Access_table example

Name Role1 Role2 Role3 Role4 Role5
a 1 0 0 0 0
a 0 0 1 0 0
b 1 0 0 0 0
c 0 1 0 0 0
d 0 0 0 0 1
e 0 0 1 0 0
e 0 1 0 0 0
f 1 0 0 0 0
g 0 0 1 0 0

I need to create a view that basically finds all the names with double Roles and merge the results into 1 row example.
Name Role1 Role2 Role3 Role4 Role5
a 1 0 1 0 0
e 0 1 1 0 0

I cannot change the information in the source table and the results need to be in a view as the roles will change. Every time I try and do this I duplicate the row again. Can anybody suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Merging Multiple Rows From Joins

Dec 15, 2014

I am still fairly new to SQL, having been tasked with creating a csv file from data now someone else has left.

I can do the csv export using sqlcmd and I have the query sorted and am pulling out the right data, but it generates two rows, as one of the tables has multiple records per cardholder. See the query below, I know there is a way of doing it with XML PATH, I think, but it has got me slightly confused.

set nocount on

selectdbo.card.EncodedNumber,
dbo.card.IsEnabled,
dbo.Cardholder.FirstName,
dbo.cardholder.LastName,
dbo.card.ExpiryTime,
dbo.PersonalDataString.Value

Merging Rows And Keeping Unique Values

Jan 14, 2015

I have this query and it works except for I am getting duplicate primary keys with unique column value. I want to combine them so that I have one primary key, but keep all the columns. Example:

Key column 1 column 2 column 3 column 4
A 1 1
A 2 2
B 2 3
B 5 5

it should look like:

A 1 1 2 2
B 2 3 5 5

Here is my query:

SELECT *
FROM [TLC Inventory].dbo.['2014 new$']
WHERE [TLC Inventory].dbo.['2014 new$'].mis_key LIKE '2%'
AND dbo_Product_Info#description NOT LIKE 'NR%'
AND dbo_Line_Info#description NOT LIKE 'OBSOLETE%'

Do I use a sum function?

SQL Server 2012 :: Merging Two Large Tables (More Than 100m Rows)

Aug 18, 2014

SQL 2012

I have a source table in the staging database stg.fact and it needs to be merged into the warehouse table whs.Fact.

stg.fact is not a delta feed it is basically an intra-day refresh.

Both tables have a last updated date so its easy to see which have changed.

It will be new (insert) or changed (update) data that I am interested in, there are no deletions.

As this could be in the millions of rows that are inserts or updates then this needs to be efficient.

I expect whs.Fact to go to >150 million rows.

When I have done this before I started with T-SQL Merge statement and that was not performant once I got to this size.

My original option was to do this is SSIS with a lookup task that marks the inserts and updates and deal with them seperately. However I set up the lookup tranformation the reference data set will have a package variable in the SQL commnd. This does not seem possible with the lookup in 2012! Currently looking at Merge Join transformation and any clever basic T-SQL that could work as this will need to be fast, and thats where I think that T-SQL may be the better route.

Both tables will have >100,000,000 rows
Both tables have the last updated date
The Tables are in different databases but on the same SQL Instance
Each table holds 5 integer columns, one Varchar, one datatime

Last time I used Merge it was a wider table with lots of columns so don't know if this would be an option.

Merging Table Columns?

Jan 6, 2004

thanks for reading.

kinda like like a UNION for columns maybe. i think that's what i'm looking for. take a look if you have a minute....

3 queries, each pretty clear (count the occurrences of a value in a column --> where someFlag='Y')...

SELECT Count(flag_A) as 'flag_A_confirmed', Year
FROM cases
WHERE flag_A = 'Y'
GROUP BY Year


SELECT Count(flag_B) as 'flag_B_confirmed', Year
FROM cases
WHERE flag_B = 'Y'
GROUP BY Year


SELECT Count(flag_C) as 'flag_C_confirmed', Year
FROM cases
WHERE flag_C = 'Y'
GROUP BY Year



but my desired output merges the columns together in one table ....

total confirmed flags for that year by type...

Yearflag_Aflag_Bflag_C
1998121533
1999161325
2000191421
2001... etc


i'm pretty sure i can do this using temp tables. any other ideas?

thanks for your input in advance. again.

Merging Data From Table 1 To Table 2??

Jan 11, 2006

I don't know the correct syntax to accomplish this. I've looked in the on-line help but am not coming up with anything.

Basically I have two identically structured tables in two separate databases.

I wanted to select anything from the dbo2.table that isn't in the dbo1.table and insert it into dbo1.table.

I thought I could do something like... quote:

Select INTO dbo1.table

and then add my select statement. But that throws an error:
quote:Server: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 1
There is already an object named 'bkupproceduresfeeschedule' in the database.

And the on-line documentation says an INTO is only for a new table.

How can I merge records from one table into another table?

SQL Server 2008 :: Comparing / Merging Records In Single Table?

Jun 2, 2015

I'm trying to avoid a large amount of manual data manipulation.

Here's the background: Legacy system that has (well let's call apples apples) pretty much no method of enforcing data integrity, which has caused a fairly decent amount of garbage data to be inserted in some tables. Pulling one of the [Individuals] table from within this Legacy system and inserting it into a production system, into the Table schema currently in place to track [Individuals] in this Production system.

Problem: Inserting the information is easy, how to deduplicate the records that exist within the staging table that the legacy [Individuals] table has been dumped into in production, prior to insertion. (Wanting to do this programmatically with SQL or SSIS preferably, so that I can alter it later to allow for updating existing/inserting new)

Staging Table Schema:

;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[stage_Individuals](
[SysID] [int] NULL, --Unique, though it's not an index intended to identify the [Individuals]
[JJISID] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[NameLast] [nvarchar](30) NULL,
[NameFirst] [nvarchar](30) NULL,
[NameMiddle] [nvarchar](30) NULL,

[code]....

Scenario: There are records that duplicate the JJISID, though this value is supposed to be unique for every individual. The SYSID is just a Clustered Index (I'm assuming) within the Legacy system and will be most likely dropped when inserted into the Production [Inviduals] table. There are records that are missing their JJISID, though this isn't supposed to happen either, but have valid information within SSN/DOB/Name/etc that can be merged into the correct record that has a JJISID assigned. There is really no data conformity, some records have NULLS for everything except JJISID, or some records will have all the [Individuals] information excluding the JJISID.

Currently I am running the following SQL just to get a list of the records that have a duplicate JJISID (I have other's that partition by Name/DOB/etc and will adapt whatever I come up with to be used for those as well):

;
select j.*
from (select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY JJISID ORDER BY JJISID) as RowNum, stage_Individuals.*, COUNT(*) OVER (partition by jjisid) as cnt from stage_Individuals) as j
where cnt > 1 and j.JJISID is not nullNow, with SQL Server 2012 or later I could use LAG and LEAD w/ the RowNum value to do my data manipulation...but that won't work because we are on SQL Server 2008 in this environment.

[URL]

With, the following as a potential solution:

GSquared (3/16/2010)Here's a query that seems to do what you need. Try it, let me know if it works.

Performance on it will be a problem, but I can't fine tune that. You'll need to look at various method for getting this kind of data from the table and work out which variation will be best for your data. Without access to the actual table, I can't do that.

;
WITH CTE
AS (SELECT master_id,
MIN(ID) AS first_id,
MAX(Account_Expiry) AS latest_expiry
FROM #People
GROUP BY master_id)
SELECT P1.master_id,

[code].....

Unfortunately, I don't think that will accomplish what I'm looking for - I have some records that are duplicated 6 times, and I'm wanting to keep the values within these that aren't NULL.

Basically what I'm looking for, is to update any column with a NULL value to the corresponding Duplicate [Individuals] record value for that column.

**EDIT - Example, Record 1 has a JJISID with NULL NameFirst & NameLast BUT Record 2 has the same JJISID and values for NameFirst & NameLast. I'm wanting to propogate the NameFirst & NameLast from Record2 into Record1

Name               Count
UserA              2
UserB              3
UserC              1
 
I can use a Select Count statement, but I will have to make a SQL call for every user in Table A.  Also, Table A is dynamic, so the users are always changing.  Can this be incorporated into one SQL call to count the total rows in Table B for each user in Table A?
