Parent Table - (multiple) Rows Into (multiple) Columns
Feb 12, 2015
I have an Parent table (Parentid, LastName, FirstName) and Kids table (Parentid, KidName, Age, Grade, Gender, KidTypeID) , each parent will have multiple kids, I need the result as below:
I am in the process of creating a Report, and in this, i need ONLY the row groups (Parents and Child).I have a Parent group field called "Dept", and its corresponding field is MacID.I cannot create a child group or Column group (because that's not what i want).I am then inserting rows below MacID, and then i toggle the other rows to MacID and MacID to Dept.
Sorry for the confusing subject. Here's what im doing:I have a table of products. Products have N categories andsubcategories. Right now its 4. But there could be more down theline so it needs to be extensible.So ive created a product table. Then a category table that has manycategories of products, of which a product can belong to N number ofthese categories. Finally a ProductCategory "match" table.This is pretty straigth forward. But im getting confused as to how towrite views/sprocs to pull out rows of products that list all theproducts categories as columns in a single query view.For example:lets say productId 1 is Cap'n Crunch cereal. It is in 3 categories:Cereal, Food for Kids, Crunchy food, and Boxed.So we have:Product----------------1 Capn CrunchCategories-----------------1 Cereal2 Food for Kids3 Crunchy food4 BoxedProductCategories------------------1 11 21 31 4How do I go about writing a query that returns a single result set fora view or data set (for use in a GridView control) where I would havethe following result:Product results---------------------------------ProductId ProductName Category 1 Category 2Category 3 Category N ...------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Capn Crunch Cereal Food for Kids Crunchy foodBoxedAm I just thinking about this all wrong? Sure seems like it.Cheers,Will
I concatenate multiple rows from one table in multiple columns like this:
--Create Table CREATE TABLE [Person].[Person_1]( [BusinessEntityID] [int] NOT NULL, [PersonType] [nchar](2) NOT NULL, [FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_Person_BusinessEntityID_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ....
This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?
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
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!
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.
Hi, I want to convert multiple rows to one row and multiple columns. I saw some examples with PIVOT but i could not get them to work. Heres what i want to do:
This is the how the table is: EmpID Designation
678 CFA
679 CFA
680 CFA
685 CFP
685 CIMA
685 IMCA
I want it to display as: EmpID Designation1 Designation2 Designation3 678 CFA 679 CFA 680 CFA 685 CFP CIMA IMCA
I've 2 tables QuestionAnswers and ConditionalQuestions and fetching data from them using CTE join and I'm seeing repetitive rows (not duplicate) like, If you have multiple answers for 1 question, the output is like
where london where paris where toronto
why us why japan why indonesia
I want to eliminate the repetitive question and group them as parent child items.
with cte as ( select cq.ConditionalQuestionID from ConditionalQuestions cq inner join QuestionAnswers qa on cq.QuestionID=qa.QuestionID where cq.QuestionID=5 and qa.IsConditional='Y') select distinct q.Question, a.Answer from QuestionAnswers qa inner join Answers a on a.AnswerID = qa.AnswerID inner join Questions q on q.QuestionID = qa.QuestionID inner join cte c on c.ConditionalQuestionID = qa.QuestionID;
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.
I've a question about how to implement a scenario, and would appreciate any suggestions anyone cares to offer.
I'm creating the following tables
FutureContract Equity
These (and others), may have an option placed on them, I was planning to create seperate option tables for each i.e. FutureContractOption EquityOption
With a FK pointing at the PK of the tables above.
However the data held in the option table looks the same for both, and I'm considering trying to use the same Option table for both the FutureContract & Equity tables.
There is a problem here with the Foreign key referencing the Primary key of the parent table.
I could add two foreign key columns and allow them to be null, so that only one is entered, however we can have an option on a lot of different things, so I might end up with a great list of these columns. Table - Option FK - FutureContractPK FK - EquityPK I'm using an unique number (identifier) column for the primary key of all tables.
I'm sure this is a relatively common problem, and would be grateful for any suggestions about how I might approach this.
Hi All,I'm using the sample table:ID | CODE | V1 | V2 | V3----------------------------------------------------------------1 3 10 3 431 4 9 8 221 2 6 2 551 5 57 12 6I want to get for a given ID the MAX(V1), MAX(V2), MAX(V3)and their respective CODEs.For the above table the returned record for ID=1 should be:v1=57, v2=12, v3=55, code_v1=5, code_v2=5, code_v3=2currently I've got a very messy solution, I'mlooking for an elegant way to do this.10x,Assaf.
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to convert (unlimited numberof) rows into columns in SQL Server? Can this be done using a SQL query and without creating any extra tables or procedures?
I am working with a MS SQL database associated with SCCM 2007. SCCM collects software product usage data, and I am tasked with generating a report that will return results between two user-chosen date ranges. I set up prompts for month, year, endmonth, endyear. They would enter 2, 2014, 4, 2014 for example. Timekey would equal 201402, endtimekey = 201404. The tables I am concerned about look like this:
The problem is I only know how to grab one timekey, but I need to combine multiple timekeys to sum up the usage counts for each workstation.
Here is the full query.
declare @TimeKey int declare @months float declare @endTimeKey int set @TimeKey=100*@Year+@Month set @endTimeKey=100*@endYear+@EndMonth select @months=DATEDIFF(d,@timekey,@endTimeKey)
SELECT 'Type'[Type] ,CASE WHEN code='09' THEN SUM(Amt/100) ELSE 0 END ,CASE WHEN code='10' THEN SUM(Amt/100) ELSE 0 END ,CASE WHEN code='11' THEN SUM(Amt/100) ELSE 0 END ,CASE WHEN code='12' THEN SUM(Amt/100) ELSE 0 END FROM Table1 WHERE (Code BETWEEN '09' AND '12') GROUP BY Code
and the output
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Type 14022731.60 0.00 0.00 0.00 Type 0.00 4749072.19 0.00 0.00 Type 0.00 0.00 149214.04 0.00 Type 0.00 0.00 0.00 792210.10
How can I modify the query to come up with output below,
I have a subscriptions table that has many line items for each record. Each line item has a different type, dues, vol, Chapt.
101 dues Mem 100 101 Vol charity 200 101 chapt CHi 300
I want my end result to have one line item per record id, but I keep coming up with an error. I am pretty sure I am close, but need assistance before I can proceed.
101 mem 100 charity 200 chi 300

So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select Test_Name AS 'Test_Name', Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds', Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal', Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile, Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish' From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
I am trying to convert the rows in a table to columns. I have found similar threads on the forum addressing this issue on a high level suggesting the use of cursors, PIVOT Transform, and other means. However, I would appreciate if someone can provide a concrete example in T-Sql for the following subset of my problem.
Consider that we have Product Category, Product and its monthly sales information retrieved as follows:
I have purposefully included QtySold here as I need to display both Quantity and Sales as measured column groups in my report. Can this be achieved in sql? I would appreciate any responses.
In a table I have some rows with flag A & B for a scode, some scode with only A and some are only B flags.
I would like to fetch all rows with flag A when both flags are present, no rows with B should be fetched. Fetch all rows when only single flags are present for a scode.How to achieve this using TSQL code.
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) 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, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
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?
I want to search in fulltextindexes for multiple searchterms in multiple columns. The difficulty is: I don't want only the records with columns that contains both searchterms. I also want the records of which one column contains one of the searchterm ans another column contains one of the searchterms.
For example I search for NETWORK and PERFORMANCE in two columns. Jobdescr_________________________|Jobtext Bad NETWORK PERFORMANCE________|Slow NETWORK browsing in Windows XP Bad application PERFORMANCE_______|Because of slow NETWORK browsing, the application runs slow.
I only get the first record because JobDescr contains both searchterms I don't get the second record because none of the columns contains both searchterms
I managed to find a workaround:
SELECT T3.jobid, T3.jobdescr FROM (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'network*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'network*') ) T1 INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'performance*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'performance*')) T2 ON T2.Jobid = T1.Jobid INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid, jobdescr FROM dba.job) T3 ON T3.Jobid = T1.Jobid OR T3.Jobid = T2.JobId It works but i guess this will result in a heavy database load when the number of searchterms and columns will increase.
