SQL Server 2014 :: Query To Split String As Rows And Columns
Oct 19, 2015
I have a string that contains series of parameters with separators.i need to split the parameters and its values as rows and columns.e.g string = "Param1 =3;param2=4,param4=testval;param6=11;..etc" here the paramerter can be anything and in any number not fixed parameters.
Currently am using the below function and getting the parameters by each in select statement as mentioned below.
select [dbo].[rvlf_fn_GetParamValueWithIndex]('Param1=3;param2=4,param4=testval;param6=11;','param1=',';') as param1,
[dbo].[rvlf_fn_GetParamValueWithIndex]('Param1=3;param2=4,param4=testval;param6=11;','param2=',';') as param2
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[rvlf_fn_GetParamValueWithIndex]

@CustomProp varchar(max),
Our front end saves all IP addresses used by a customer as a comma separated string, we need to analyse these to check for blocked IPs which are all stored in another table.
A LIKE statement comparing each string with the 100 or so excluded IPs will be very expensive so I'm thinking it would be less so to split out the comma separated values into tables.
The problem we have is that we never know how many IPs could be stored against a customer, so I'm guessing a function would be the way forward but this is the point I get stuck.
I can remove the 1st IP address into a new column and produce the new list ready for the next removal, also as part of this we would need to create new columns on the fly depending on how many IPs are in the column.
This needs to be repeated for each row
SELECT IP_List , LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) - 1) AS IP_1 , REPLACE(IP_List, LEFT(IP_List, CHARINDEX(',', IP_List) +0), '') AS NewIPList1 FROM IpExclusionTest
Create table DBInfo (Path varchar (500)) Insert into DBInfo values('/Data Sources') Insert into DBInfo values('/Data Sources/SALES') Insert into DBInfo values('/PRODUCTION') Insert into DBInfo values('/PRODUCTION/SERVICE') Insert into DBInfo values('/PRODUCTION/SERVICE/MAINTENANCE') Insert into DBInfo values('/PRODUCTION/SERVICE/LOGISTICS')
My Expected Output

I have a string stored in field v_images in table tbl_DealerFeed_temp. This string is split by the "|" character. I want to create a SQL query to grab this string, split it, and insert it into tbl_Vehicles_photos. I also need to pass the value d_id into the photos table:
tbl_Vehicles_photos: vp_id, d_id, vp_image_name
The vp_id is the unique ID. I need to populate the d_id and vp_image_name field with my values.
I need to create a SQL statement to read the string, split it at the "," character, and insert it into individual rows. I also need to insert an ID (the same for all split values).
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
Part 1: When there is ~ (tilde) and has any value after it then it goes into a new row and duplicating the other columns like the facility in the screenshot attached and new column having the sequence.
Part 2: When there is ^ (Caret) its a new column irrespective of a value present or not
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Equipment]( [EQU] [VARCHAR](50) NOT NULL, [Notes] [TEXT] NULL, [Facility] [VARCHAR](50) NULL) INSERT INTO [dbo].[Equipment] ([EQU] ,[Notes] ,[Facility]) SELECT '1001','BET I^BOBBETT,DAN^1.0^REGULAR^22.09^22.090~BET II^^^REGULAR^23.56^0~','USA' union SELECT '998','BET I^JONES, ALANA^0.50^REGULAR^22.09^11.0450~BET II^^^REGULAR^23.56^0~','Canada' UNION select '55','BET I^SLADE,ADAM F.^1.5^REGULAR^27.65^41.475~','USA' SELECT * FROM dbo.Equipment
I created the table in excel and attached the screenshot for a clear picture as to what is required. I use text to Columns in excel to achieve this not sure if there is anything similar in sql.
Is it possible to assign multiple columns from a SQL query to one variable. In the below query I have different variable (email, fname, month_last_taken) from same query being assigned to different columns, can i pass all columns to one variable only and then extract that column out of that variable later? This way I just need to write the query once in the complete block.
DECLARE @email varchar(500) ,@intFlag INT ,@INTFLAGMAX int ,@TABLE_NAME VARCHAR(100)
I like to push 1 column into 2 different columns just to show it on the screen. So no import in another table ore something like that. I have a table like this: Select Name from Cars; Result: Col1 BMWMercedesFordAudi But i like to make a query so it is displayed like this: Col1 Col2 BMW FordMercedes Audi So i can bound a table directly to that column!Is this possible with SQL, and how can i build it.Thanks.
I currently have data stored in a temporary table and I would like to transpose the data into a better format. I would like for the query to be dynamic since one of the tables currently has over 500 columns.
The attached file provides an example of the table structure along with sample data. Below the first set of data is the desired final format.
Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.
ID - INT Machine - TINYINT StartTime - DATETIME EndTime - DATETIME
What I am trying to do is figure out how much time is used for production per day. The problem is, there are production runs that run over midnight and possible multiple days without ending. For example, if I have the following data:
I have following query which return me SP/Views and Functions script using:
select DEFINITION FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESNow, the result looks like Create proc create procedure create proc create view create function
I need its result as:
Alter Procedure Alter Procedure Alter Procedure Alter View Alter Function
I used following
select replace(replace(replace(DEFINITION,'CREATE PROCEDURE','Alter Procedure'), 'create proc','Alter Procedure'),'create view','Alter View') FROM .SYS.SQL_MODULESto but it is checking fixed space like create<space>proc, how can i check if there are two or more spaces in between create view or create proc or create function, it should replace as i want?
I have a comma separated field containing numerous 2 digit numbers that I would like splitting out by a corresponding unique code held in another field on the same row.
E.g
Unique Code Comma Separated Field
14587934 1,5,17,18,19,40,51,62,70
6998468 10,45,62,18,19
79585264 1,5,18
These needs to be in column format or held in an array to be used as conditional criteria.
Basically I need to get the SUM of the sum of three columns and all three columns have nulls. To make it more complicated, the result set must return the top 20 in order desc as well.
I keep facing different issues whether I try and use Coalesce, IsNull, Sum, count, anything. My query never returns anything but 0 or NULL regardless of if I am trying to build a CTE or just use a query.
So I'm using Col A to get the TOP 20 in order (which is fine) but also trying to add together the sums of Col A + Col B + Col C for each of the twenty rows...
I am trying to join two tables and looks like the data is messed up. I want to split the rows into columns as there is more than one value in the row. But somehow I don't see a pattern in here to split the rows.
This how the data is
Create Table #Sample (Numbers Varchar(MAX)) Insert INTO #Sample Values('1000') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1024 AND 1025') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('109 ,110,111') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('Old # 1033 replaced with new Invoice # 1544') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1355 Cancelled and Invoice 1922 added') Select * from #Sample
This is what is expected...
Create Table #Result (Numbers Varchar(MAX)) Insert INTO #Result Values('1000') Insert INTO #Result Values ('1024') Insert INTO #Result Values ('1025') Insert INTO #Result Values ('109') Insert INTO #Result Values ('110')
[Code] ....
How I can implement this ? I believe if there are any numbers I need to split into two columns .
I have a sample table as below: (All columns do not have to have unique values) Column n is int, the rest are varchar [First row is the column Names]
n | t1 | t2 | t3 | t4 1 | a | b | c | d 3 | e | w | a | t 3 | w | q | u | k 2 | g | w | q | n 2 | a | b | s | a 5 | n | a | w | h
I need to create a query or some how create a way to get the data in the form of the below table:
n | t1 | t2 | t3 | t4 | t11 | t21 | t31 | t41 1 | a | b | c | d | 3 | e | w | a | t | w | q | u | k 2 | g | w | q | n | a | b | s | a 5 | n | a | w | h
What that means is that I have a huge table (~6000 rows) that has the column 'n' above (int type) which can have rows that start with the same number (such as number 3 & 2 above). I need these duplicate rows of numbers to be converted/transformed to columns alongside each other. This would create 1 entry for each type of number but have the 4 columns of t1, t2, t3, t4 'added' on as extra columns in the new table with a different column name ofcourse. So what that would mean is that if there were 3 rows of number n=2 then would have 3x4=12 columns, plus the 'n' column and so forth.
I am not sure on how to start the query for this. What I have thought is maybe using a cursor and going through the table. But not sure how I could do that really. The other is using a Pivot in a SELECT statement. But that would not work since the columns can grow indefinetely depending on how many of the same 'number' row there is!
Deciding whether or not to use a CTE or this simple faster approach utilizing system tables, hijacking them.
SELECT s.ORDER_NUMBER, s.PRODUCT_ID, 1 AS QTY, s.VALUE/s.QTY AS VALUE FROM @SPLITROW s INNER JOIN master.dbo.spt_values t ON t.type='P' AND t.number BETWEEN 1 AND s.QTY
Just wanted to know if its okay to use system tables in a production environment and if there are any pit falls of using them ?
