Need To Combine String Data From Multiple Columns Into One Column
Aug 31, 2007
When quering a table with given criteria, For ex:
select notes, jobid, caller from contact where status in (6) and jobid = 173
I am getting this:
This job will be posted to Monster for 2 weeks. 173 906
Waiting for full budget approval 173 906
TUrns out we're uppin 173 906
What should I do so that these three columns for the same jobid from the same caller appears in only one column, either separated by a comma or semicolon?
Suppose that I have a table with following values Table1 Col1 Col2 Col3 ----------------------------------------------------------- P3456 C935876 T675 P5555 C678909 T8888
And the outcome that I want is: CombinedValues(ColumnName) ---------------------------------------------- P3456 - C935876 - T675 P5555 - C678909 - T8888
where CombinedValues column contains values of coulmn 1,2 & 3 seperated by '-' So is there any way to achieve this?
Hellow Folks. Here is the Original Data in my single SQL 2005 Table: Department: Sells: 1 Meat 1 Rice 1 Orange 2 Orange 2 Apple 3 Pears The Data I would like read separated by Semi-colon: Department: Sells: 1 Meat;Rice;Orange 2 Orange;Apple 3 Pears I would like to read my data via SP or VStudio 2005 Page . Any help will be appreciated. Thanks..
I have a table with a string value, where all values are seperated by a space/blank. I now want to use SQL to split all the values and insert them into a different table, which then later will result in deleting the old table, as soon as I got all values out from it.
Old Table:
Code: ID, StringValue
New Table:
Code: ID, Value1, Value2 Do note: Value1 is INT, Value2 is of nvarchar, hence Value2 can contain spaces... I just need to split on the FIRST space, then convert index[0] to int, and store index[1] as it is.
I can split on all spaces and just Select them all and add them like so: SELECT t.val1 + ' ' + t.val2... If I cant find the first space that is... I mean, first 2-10 characters in the string can be integer, but does not have to be.Shall probably do it in code instead of SQL?Now I want to run a query that selects the StringValue from OldTable, splits the string by ' ' (a blank) and then inserts them into New Table.
Code: SELECT CASE CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) WHEN 0 THEN OldTable.stringvalue ELSE SUBSTRING(OldTable.stringvalue, 1, CHARINDEX(' ', OldTable.stringvalue, 1) - 1) END AS FirstWord FROM OldTable
Found an example using strange things like CHARINDEX..But issue still remains, because the first word is of integer, or it does not have to be...If it isn't, there is not "first value", and the whole string shall be passed into "value2".How to detect if the very first character is of integer type?
Code: @declare firstDigit int IF ISNUMERIC(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) = 1 set @firstDigit = CAST(SUBSTRING(@postal,2,1) AS int) ELSE set @firstDigit = -1
I have twotables(Employee and Borrower). In Employee table have EMPID and Borrower table have BorrowerID. I want to comebine these two columns into one column as EMPID in Employee table. Can any one help? Thanks
I'm working on a sales commission report that will show commissions for up to 5 sales reps for each invoice. The invoice detail table contains separate columns for the commission rates payable to each rep, but for some reason the sale srep IDs are combined into one column. The salesrep column may contain null, a single sales rep id, or up to five slaes rep IDs separated by the '~' character.
So I'd like to parse the rep IDs from a single column (salesreplist) in my invoice detail table (below) to multiple columns (RepID1, RepID2, RepID3, RepID4,RepID5) in a temp table so I can more easily calculate the commission amounts for each invoice and sales rep.
Here is my table:
CREATE TABLE invcdtl( invoicenum int, salesreplist [text] NULL, reprate1 int NULL, reprate2 int NULL, reprate3 int NULL, reprate4 int NULL, reprate5 int NULL, )
As you can see, some records have trailing delimiters but some don't. This may be a result of the application's behavior when multiple reps are entered then removed from an invoice. One thing for sure is that when there are multiple reps, the IDs are always separated by '~'
With the below query iam able to retrieve all the tables invloved in a stored proc. But, what I want to display the table names as comma separated list for each table.
;WITH stored_procedures AS ( SELECT o.id, o.name AS proc_name, oo.name AS table_name, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(partition by o.name,oo.name ORDER BY o.name,oo.name) AS row FROM sysdepends d INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id=d.id INNER JOIN sysobjects oo ON oo.id=d.depid WHERE o.xtype = 'P') SELECT id,proc_name, table_name FROM stored_procedures WHERE row = 1 ORDER BY proc_name,table_name
I have the table below and like to combine the rows to create a single link row in a new column. The rows should be combined based on the job number columns which is the same for the rows to be combined.
DECLARE @M31 ( M31_SQL_ID INT ,JOB_NUMBER INT ,LINE_NUMBER INT ,WORKS_DESC VARCHAR)
[Code] ...
Output should be as below
219242 16/7/15 called tenant and she thought we would just fix for free - advised her I can get a quote how ever she may have to pay - she will call back Â
219245 16/7/15 called tnt said no report number. Said she will speak with her husband and call back with her decision and 16/07/15 the work order was sent to agent ...
I realize I've posted something like this before, but i'm confused how to do something new, what I am trying to do is combine rows of data when certain columns equal one another.
For example, I have to sets of data who have in common the columns ctp_code and a mod_code (they are the same) however they have two other columns called billing_amt and amount_owed that need to be added together (literally taking the data and doing the math, so 100.00 + 100.00 = 200.00)
I'm a non-programmer and an SQL newbie. I'm trying to create a printer usage report using LogParser and SQL database. I managed to export data from the print server's event log into a table in an SQL2005 database.
There are 3 main columns in the table (PrintJob) - Server (the print server name), TimeWritten (timestamp of each print job), String (eventlog message containing all the info I need). My problem is I need to split the String column which is a varchar(255) delimited by | (pipe). Example:
2|Microsoft Word - ราย�ารรับ.doc|Sukanlaya|HMb1_SD_LJ2420|IP_192.10.1.53|82720|1
The first value is the job number, which I don't need. The second value is the printed document name. The third value is the owner of the printed document. The fourth value is the printer name. The fifth value is the printer port, which I don't need. The sixth value is the size in bytes of the printed document, which I don't need. The seventh value is the number of page(s) printed.
How I can copy data in this table (PrintJob) into another table (PrinterUsage) and split the String column into 4 columns (Document, Owner, Printer, Pages) along with the Server and TimeWritten columns in the destination table?
In Excel, I would use combination of FIND(text_to_be_found, within_text, start_num) and MID(text, start_num, num_char). But CHARINDEX() in T-SQL only starts from the beginning of the string, right? I've been looking at some of the user-defind-function's and I can't find anything like Excel's FIND().
Or if anyone can think of a better "native" way to do this in T-SQL, I've be very grateful for the help or suggestion.
I'm working on a script to merge multiple columns(30) into a single column separated by a semicolons, but I'm getting the following error below. I tried to convert to the correct value. but I'm still getting an error.
Error: "Conversion failed when converting the varchar value ';' to data type tinyint".
I am running a query to pull data from 2 tables. However multiple data elements could be attached to one unique ID which when I run the query it repeats causing the entire data set to give inaccurate numbers. How to achieve this:
I have a table Table, there are two set of Number and store in Tel1 and Tel2
I want to get all the number of each reacod that start with '1' on each record, the number I need that may in Tel1 or Tel2, I want to get the result like 'Result' table how can I do it ?
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?
SELECT dong2 + ' ' + dong3 + ' ' + dong4 + bunji AS 'Address' FROM zipcode.dbo.zipcode2
I want to combine all of the columns to 1 column, but some columns are empty and some are NULL. The ones that are NULL return as NULL instead of an address.
I'm creating a web-based NT RAS report site and am looking for the most efficient way to import the data from NT Event log into SQL2k. I'm using the 'dumpel' utility from rsc kit and all is fine except the 10th column - the message detail:
"The user DOMAINuserid connected on port Mdm15 on 08/23/2002 at 07:25am and disconnected on 08/23/2002 at 07:27am. The user was active for 2 minutes 23 seconds. 78809 bytes were sent and 50675 bytes were received. The port speed was 49300."
I need to parse this one long text string into 6 distinct columns: userID, port, duration, bytes_xmt, bytes_rcv and portspeed. After a quick review of the rowsets, the strings seem to hold a consistent output ... no real variances I can see.
I've dablled with views but am facing a small performance issue that could get bigger: The sql server not only has to run the text file import package, but also the view to format the text dump into a workable dataset, then my report code bangs over 30 queries against the final dataset. It already takes our SQL2k server over 3 minutes to parse about 20,000 rows and the server's a beast (dual 1.8 p4 cpu, 3gb ram, raid, etc).
What I think would work best is to abandon the view (performance will only get worse as the row count increases) and instead INSERT the rows into one table.
Any ideas anyone? any good scripts out there that can help me to parse the long text string quicker that using substring and replace functions?
I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
I am facing a problem in writing the stored procedure for multiple search criteria.
I am trying to write the query in the Procedure as follows
Select * from Car where Price=@Price1 or Price=@price2 or Price=@price=3 and where Manufacture=@Manufacture1 or Manufacture=@Manufacture2 or Manufacture=@Manufacture3 and where Model=@Model1 or Model=@Model2 or Model=@Model3 and where City=@City1 or City=@City2 or City=@City3
I am Not sure of the query but am trying to get the list of cars that are to be filtered based on the user input.
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

My first ASP.NET/SQL project. I'm creating an Asset Management DB. I wish to view the Asset number, the full name of the user it's assigned to and the Make and Model of each record in the DB. However assets are split into different categories e.g. monitors, PCs, Preinters etc. and they are all in different tables. The SQL below displays the asset number, Name of person assigned and the model of the asset. SELECT Hardware.AssetNo, [User].FullName, MonitorModel.Model, PCModel.Model AS Expr1, PrinterModel.Model AS Expr2 FROM Hardware INNER JOIN [User] ON Hardware.UserID = [User].UserID INNER JOIN Model ON Hardware.ModelID = Model.ModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN MonitorModel ON Model.MonitorModelID = MonitorModel.MonitorModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN PCModel ON Model.PCModelID = PCModel.PCModelID LEFT OUTER JOIN PrinterModel ON Model.PrinterModelID = PrinterModel.PrinterModelID This outputs:- Asset number FullName Model Expr1 Expr2 00000 User Name Model NULL NULL 00001 User Name NULL Model NULL 00002 User Name NULL NULL Model However what i hope to acheive is output Model, Expr1, Expr2 into one column like so:- Asset number FullName Model 00000 User Name Model Can i do this in the SQL or do i have to do it in my ASP.NET (VB) Page? Using VSWD 2005 Ex Edition and SQL Server 2005 Ex Edition Thank you for your replies
I have to split a column using comma a delimiter into multiple columns. I am able to do it if i know how many column will be present in the final output. But in daily run, the columns may vary randomly.
how to split columns without hardcoding how many columns it ll come.
This is the code am using
Code: WITH Split_Names (Fil_id,Name, xmlname) AS ( SELECT Fil_ID,
Required output pic_col_1, name_col_1, pic_col_2, name_col_2, pic_col_3, name_col_3 photo1.jpg, john smith, photo2.jpg, jane doe, photo3.jpg, bob brown photo4.jpg, mary brown, photo5.jpg, sue smith, photo6.jpg, bob rogers
Normally, I would just query the data and have the client data loop over the dataset to create the required output, however in this application it is not an option...
i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:
Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO""" Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn) Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn) Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader Do While rdr.Read() Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString Next
it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming. when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.
So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?

[seems i got redirected into the wrong forum, please move into the correct one]
I have a description field in a table which also stores unit of measure in the same column but with some space between them, I need to split these into two different columns.
select CurrencyCode,TransactionCode,TransactionAmount,COUNT(TransactionCode) as [No. Of Trans] from TransactionDetails where CAST(CurrentTime as date)=CAST(GETDATE()as date) group by TransactionCode, CurrencyCode,TransactionAmount order by CurrencyCode
As per this query I got the result like this
CurrencyCode TransactionCode TransactionAmount No.OfTrans AEDÂ Â Â BNTÂ Â Â 1Â Â Â 1 AEDÂ Â Â BNTÂ Â Â 12Â Â Â 1 AEDÂ Â Â SCNÂ Â Â 1Â Â Â 1 AEDÂ Â Â SNTÂ Â Â 1Â Â Â 3
[Code] ....
But I wish to grt result as
CurrencyCode TransactionCode TransactionAmount No.OfTrans AEDÂ Â Â BNTÂ Â 13Â Â Â 2 AEDÂ Â Â SCNÂ Â Â 1Â Â Â 1 AEDÂ Â Â SNTÂ Â Â 11Â Â Â 7 AFNÂ Â Â BPCÂ Â Â 8Â Â Â 6
[Code] ....
I also tried this
select CurrencyCode,TransactionCode,TransactionAmount,COUNT(TransactionCode) as [No. Of Trans] from TransactionDetails where CAST(CurrentTime as date)=CAST(GETDATE()as date) group by TransactionCode order by CurrencyCode
But of course this codes gives an error, but how can I get my desired result??
