Hi All,
I am trying to get at some text fields from an AS400(JBA) system. the problem i'm having is that for each new line of text on AS400 it creates a new row with a line number associated in the SQL table. When trying to export to excel this causes problems because i need the text in one cell not spread over 15/20 lines.
I need to create a query/function that will concatenate the text lines together. I'm fairly new to T-SQL so could do with some help.
Example:-
ID TxtLn Text
R262965
1
Text 1
R262965
2
Text 2
R262965
3
Text 3
What i'm aiming for is:-
ID ConcatText
R262965 Text1 Text2 Text3
Can anyone please help me or guide me towards a starting point.
Thanks

Good afternoon one and all,
I have the following problem that I can use some help with :
I have a table in a linked server that has the date stored in three fields (i.e. day,month and year (I have no idea why)). I would like to concatenate these three fields together into a datetime format in a SQL statement
Something like
SELECT ([stc_dd] & '/' & [stc_mm] & '/' & [stc_yy]) AS stkdate
(the above line does not work)
Hope that is clear, thanx in advance for any and all help

Hi,
I'm trying to get the text of all my SPs saved into text (*.sql) files. My first thought was to use sp_helptext and bcp the table to a text file but this isn't working (see my other post) so thought I'd try another method.
I can get the code from syscomment.text and concatenate the varchar(8000) field together in a text field. Unfortunately this isn't as easy as just text = text + newtext, how is this done?
Or am I doing it all comletely the wrong way? BTW, I have over 150 SPs so I can't save them individually.
Thanks!
Nick

I have a query that produces seperate rows for people, but I want to combine them into one place. I tried doing this in SQL but apparently it's not very easy in SQL Server. You need to loop through a table using cursors. I'm not quite that advanced with SQL Server and was wondering if there might be an easier way just using SSRS.
In other words I have a table as such:
1 John Smith
2 Jane Doe
3 Matthew Jones
And I'd like to create one textbox that contains the following:
"John Smith, Jane Doe, Matthew Jones"
I've been drawing a blank. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a SQL query that returns several fields from several tables, eg. Title, Subtitle, Author, Binding and Imprint. When these are returned everything seems rosy until there are two authors linked to one title. When this happens Title, Subtitle, Binding and Imprint are repeated which is not required. Is there a way to concatenate the authors from multple records to return a single title with the concatenated authors, instead of repeating titles due to multiple authors?.
Example:
A query may currently return:
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1a - etc
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1b - etc
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1c - etc
Title2 - Subtitle2 - Author 2a - etc
Title3 - Subtitle3 - Author 3a - etc
When I would like
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1a, Author 1b, Author 1c - etc
Title2 - Subtitle2 - Author 2a - etc
Title3 - Subtitle3 - Author 3a - etc
My actual SQL code, if you are interested, is:
SELECT dbo.edition.ISBN, dbo.edition.title, dbo.party.first_name+' '+dbo.party.surname as name, dbo.edition.reviews, dbo.edition.long_blurb, dbo.series.series_id, dbo.series.series_number,
dbo.series.series_title, dbo.edition.sub_title, dbo.edition.about_author, dbo.edition.short_blurb,
dbo.series.editors_affiliations, dbo.title.contents, dbo.title.affiliations, dbo.series.series_editors
FROM dbo.edition INNER JOIN
dbo.series ON dbo.edition.series_id = dbo.series.series_id INNER JOIN
dbo.title ON dbo.edition.title_id = dbo.title.title_id INNER JOIN
dbo.agreement ON dbo.edition.edition_id = dbo.agreement.edition_id INNER JOIN
dbo.role ON dbo.agreement.role_id = dbo.role.role_id INNER JOIN
dbo.party ON dbo.role.party_id = dbo.party.party_id

Quick question. What I'm trying to do is concatenate a field for multiple records (hope that is worded in an understandable manner). Here's an example:
ID.....Code
5......33
5......23
ID.....Code...Result
5......33.....33 23
5......23.....33 23
I need the code to get the Result field. I know the code if you were to find the sum, min, max, etc...
(SELECT SUM(CODE)
FROM Table
WHERE ID = Table.ID) AS Result
But I don't know how to write it so it will combine strings.

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

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.

I have a table called Signatures
It contains the fields
Parentobject and [View As]
there can be more than one Parentobject so I want to concatenate them so I have them on one line
for example
901 Joe Dow
901 Jane Dow
I want one line - | 901 | Joe Dow, Jane Dow
I found something similar as below but I'm getting dups like
901 |Joe Dow , Joe Dow
901 | Jane Dow, Jane Dow
DECLARE @Delimiter VARCHAR(10) = ' '; -- this is the delimiter we will use when we concatenate the values
SELECT DISTINCT
ParentObject,
(SELECT STUFF(
(SELECT @Delimiter + s1.[View As]

I have tableX with columns colA, colB, colC, colD and there are 2256 rows in the tableX.
I would like to find out the percentages of colA, colB, colC, colD that hold data (where it is not an empty string or NULL value).
So out of 2256 rows in the table, the user has stored data in colA 1987 times, colB 2250 times, colC 2256 times and colD 17 times.
So the report would say:
colA: 88.07%
colB: 99.73%
colC: 100%
colD: 0.01%
We have an application that has a bunch of fields that we believe are not being used and would like to remove them, but we need to prove this by looking at the data.
I know I could run a query, one at a time and change the column name, but this would take a long time as there are a lot of columns in this table. I am hoping there is some way to do this in one query.

Hello,
I hope someone has already done this, but I have a table with a text column- example ColA, now i want to run a query to select the ColA in this table and combine the results of ColA into a ColB in another table.
Something like - Note: the codes below doesn't work!!
DECLARE @ResultID as int
DECLARE @AccID int
DECLARE _rows CURSOR
FOR SELECT AccID FROM tableA
FETCH NEXT FROM _rows INTO @AccID
WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
UPDATE TableB SET Report = Report + (SELECT txtField FROM tableA WHERE AccID = @AccID)
WHERE AccID = @AccID
FETCH NEXT FROM _rows INTO @AccID
END
Thanks in advance

I would like to ensure data integrity in a column (actually multiple columns will need a trigger) in my table(s) by setting up a trigger which allows an update of my database field only if the value which is being written to the field in the database exists in another column (in another "check" table).eg. I only want values "Yes", "No" or "" in many of my fields, which I store in a column named "YesNoBlank" in another table.Does anyone know the easy way to do this? / Syntax for the trigger?

Hi all. I have been going round and round for the past 2 days on this and would appreciate any help. In a view select statement, I need to concat 2 varchar fields with a text field. If I CONVERT the TEXT field to VARCHAR, only the first 30 characters of the field appear in the result set. If I convert the VARCHAR fields to TEXT, I get an error that I cannot CONCAT TEXT fields. I'm not sure what to do. Can someone please offer some assistance? Thanks in advance! Steve

I am using SQL server 2000 and trying to do a concatenation of firstname,middle-initial and lastname.
SELECT first_name+('mid_ini'= casewhen middle_init is null then ''when middle_init ='' then ''else middle_initend)+nsl_last_nameFROM tbl_names
How is it possible to use the CASE condition along with concatenating the fields. Is this possible?
I would like my result to be "Bob J Sam".
and if there is no middle initial it should be blank or when its null it should be blank.
I know you can separate and get the results with the CASE statement,but is this feasible when you want to concatenate?
Thank you

I'm looking for ideas / options for concatenating several fields into one based on a sequence number. The sequence could go as high as 90 but I'm only interested in concatenating the first 3 sequences. I'd like to compare when seq is the same as the id, it's concatenated and placed in a virtual column.
Example:
table x:
column:attritbute
id:123
fname:xyz
lname:zmith
seq:1
address: 123 something
id:123
fname:abc
lname:zmith
address: 123 something
seq:2
Query:
select *
from x
where id = 123
would return 2 records:
ID | Concat | address | fname | lname
123 | abc / xyz | 123 something | xyz | zmith
...
I would like it to return:
ID Concat address
123 | abc / xyz | 123 something ....
Thanks!

I have a requirement where in I have to concatenate the fields based on their sequence given in another table along with respect to their lengths. eg..
Input 1:
Table A: (below are the fields and their respective values, not all fields will have values)
-----------
KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR
KUNNR-->1234567890
LIFNR
VKORG-->a234
PRCTR
KUNRE-->4355325363
LIFRE-->88390234
PRODH
Table BIt contains the same fields as in table A and will have sequence number in which the concatenation should happen. The length field(LEN) will have corresponding field lengths(pipe delimited) should be considered in concatenation)
KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR
KUNNR--> 1
LIFNR
VKORG-->3
PRCTR
KUNRE-->2
LIFRE -->4
PRODH
LEN10|10|4|10
Expected Result:
---------------------
KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR
KUNNR1234567890
LIFNR

LIFRE0088390234
PRODH
Concat_String12345678904355325363a2340088390234
Note: If the field length given in Table B doesn't match with actual size of the fields then, the field should be filled with 2 left spaces while concatenation.. Eg. In above example say LIFNR value = 88390234(len =icon_cool.gif then after concat the value should be like below:
12345678904355325363a234 88390234
Note:The fields are not constant..I have around 40 fields like that in which any combination of fields can be possible...eg..
KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY)
KOTABNR - 521 (KEY)
MATNR -->2
KUNNR--> 4
LIFNR
VKORG-->1
PRCTR
KUNRE
LIFRE --> 3
PRODH
I am not sure which field has the value 1, 2 etc.. and how many fields are forming the combination..It can be sometimes 3/40 fields or it can be 10/40 fields...I have to dynamically get those values and concat...
I can have any number of fields for concatenation..above example is just for 4...it should be dynamic enough to handle any number of fields..

Friends,
I am attempting to concatenate two numeric type fields together with character data and the query is adding them together. I am assuming I need to convert the ints to a string type but would appreciate some info on the best way to do this...I am sure it's something simple but am not finding much on the web about it.
SELECT vehFacID + '-' + vehID AS vehNew FROM Vehicles
Returns the sum of vehFacID & vehID. Doh!

Im trying to upload 1000 txt files into one table in SQL. I'm using the following query, to upload one txt file at a time:
bulk insert [dbo].AAA_2013_2015

with (firstrow = 2,
lastrow = ???,
fieldterminator = ';',
rowterminator = '0x0A')
I'm trying that the query skip the last row because gives me the following error:
Msg 4866, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 17. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
know a command to skip the last row, something like lastrow= all-1...or something like that.
I also executed using MAXERRORS command...like this:
bulk insert [dbo].AAA_2013_2015
from 'dataserverSQL Data FilesSQL_EMELIZFC x Bloque Detallada201308 Detalle FacturasFACT_BLOQ_AGO13 (15).txt'
with (firstrow = 2,
fieldterminator = ';',
MAXERRORS = max_errors,
rowterminator = '0x0A')
does not recognize MAXERRORS command, also tried to put a number of error instead of max_errors.

Hey everyone,
This is probably a very simple question, but I am just stumped. I am storing different name parts in different fields, but I need to create a view that will pull all of those fields together for reports, dropdowns, etc.
Here is my current SELECT statement:
SELECT m.FName + SPACE(1) + m.MName + SPACE(1) + m.LName + ', ' + m.Credentials AS Name,
m.JobTitle,
m.Company,
m.Department,
m.Address,
m.City + ', ' + m.State + ' ' + m.Zipcode AS CSZ,
m.WorkPhone,
m.FAX,
m.Email,
c.Chapter,
m.Active,
s.Sector,
i.Industry
FROM tblMembers m
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblChapters c
ON m.ChapterID = c.ChapterID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblSectors s
ON m.SectorID = s.SectorID
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblIndustries i
ON m.IndustryID = i.IndustryID
WHERE m.DRGInclude = 1
My problem is that I don't know how to test for NULL values in a field. When you concatenate fields that contain NULL values, the entire contactenated field returns NULL. I am not aware of an IF statement that is available within the SELECT statement.
The first thing I would like to accomplish is to test to see if MName contains NULL. If it does I do not want to include + SPACE(1) + m.MName in the clause. Then, if Credentials contains NULL I do not want to include + ', ' + m.Credentials in the clause.
Can someone tell me what I am missing? Is there a function that I can use for this?
Thanks,
