I am trying to return as a dataset of this that shows the ID as column 1 then each value in the 2nd column as individual columns if I use SELECT LEFT('2ndColumn,PATINDEX(',',2ndColum)-1) I can return the first value as a column but then can't return any further values individually after the first column, I am just learning the new functionality in SSIS so not sure whether this would be my answer as apposed to T-SQL, if anyone has any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated?
Using Flat File Connection Manager, I am specifying Text Qualifier = Double quotes{"}, and i have TXT file with one column for lastname and first name as "LN,FN", and settings are set to comma delimted, now the connectin manager is creating two different columns for LN and FN,
I have a table with millions of rows, 1 particular attribute "FromPerson" contains a string of email addresses, names, etc... for example (formatting done by this window... not exists in database...completely cleaned to semi-colon delimited)
tomh@gmail.com; Snyder, John N.; jsnyder@yahoo.com; Miller, Jim; millerj@gmail.com; Tenbrow, Jack; Katie Winslow (can be x number of names, emails...)
as you can see... some of the delimited values match up with an email address, others have just names, or emails... I have successfully split this into 1 row per value per say, but how do i get them to match up the values that do. I think the splitting is really not helping the cause... what i want is this...
tomg@hotmail.com tomg@hotmail.com Snyder, John N. jsnyder@yahoo.com Miller, Jim millerj@gmail.com Tenbrow, Jack Tenbrow, Jack Katie Winslow Katie Winslow
there could/can be other attributes, like datetime stamp, domain(if any)... etc... but I think I can add that later...

Hi,I would like to parse out each value that is seperatedby a comma in a field and use that value to join to another table.What would be the easiest way to do so without having towrite a function or routine ?EX.Table AAACOL1 COL21 11, 124, 1562 11, 505, 600, 700, ...Table BBBCOL1 COL211 Desc11124 Desc124156 Desc 156
Hi, I need to search a column in my database (varchar:50) that contains a comma delimited string of numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10). Currently, I am doing the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE clubs_belongs_to LIKE '%1%'
Where 1 is the number I'm searching for. The problem with the query above is that it returns records that contain 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. in the clubs_belongs_to field. I want the query to only return those people who belong to club number 1, not 10, 11, 12, etc. Please help. Thanks in advance. I have tried using IN instead of LIKE, but that didn't seem to get the results I wanted either.
As part of xml parsing, I use multicast to direct output of nodes to their corresponding relational tables and I do have a comma-delimited list for some nodes which basically needs to be converted into rows as illustrated below
PROCEDURE ListFilteredEvents @FilterList varchar(200) -- contains ‘3,5’ AS SELECT EventID FROM Events WHERE (any value in Categories) IN @FilterList
Result:
EventID ---------- 2
How can I select all records where any value in the Categories column matches a value in @FilterList. In this example, record 2 would be selected since it belongs to category 3, which is also in @FilterList.
I’ve looked at the table of numbers approach, which works when selecting records where a column value is in the parameter list, but I can’t see how to make this work when the column itself also contains a comma delimited list.
So we have a field called forenames, and it needs to be split into fields forename_1, forename_2, forename_3, forename_4 (don't ask).
Ok, I've come up with this so far, which works, but is pretty nacky in my opinion. Has any one got a better way of achieving this?
SELECT forenames , Replace(forenames, ' ', '.') , Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 1)) As [f1] , Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 2)) As [f2] , Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 3)) As [f3] , Reverse(ParseName(Replace(Reverse(forenames), ' ', '.'), 4)) As [f4] FROM ( SELECT 'John' As [forenames] UNION SELECT 'John Paul' UNION SELECT 'John Paul George' UNION SELECT 'John Paul George Ringo' ) As [x]
Results
forenames (no column name) f1 f2 f3 f4 ---------------------- ---------------------- ---- ---- ------ ----- John John John NULLNULL NULL John Paul John.Paul John PaulNULL NULL John Paul George John.Paul.George John PaulGeorgeNULL John Paul George Ringo John.Paul.George.Ringo John PaulGeorgeRingo
Good evening! I have a problem. I have a namelist coming from a distribution list of an active directory. When I converted it to csv file, the members reside in just one column and separated by a comma. I want the names to be separated in a row one by one. I tried it on excel and I used the transpose column but to no avail. My last resort is to import it on sql but the names on the column was cut and not complete. Do you have any idea how to do this. Your help is highly appreciated.
Would like to have a view created to display the result at the bottom of this message. We will be using Dreamweaver to display the information from this view. Also, for the record, we are using sql 2000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I need to import comma delimited text files into sql tables. in one of the column, there is a comma in the string itself. e.g.
Cust_ID Name Phone Address1 Address2
Date that I have:
001,juia, anderson,4694568855,,Cedar Spring
The data does not have double quote as text qualifiers. but as you see, on the Name column, there is a comma, which is not a delimiter. can anybody give any suggestions on how i can deal with that? i would appreciate it so much.

Hi I'm pretty new to using Microsoft Visual C# .NET and I want to upload a comma delimited text file from my local machine into a table in an sql server database through a web app. How would I go about programming this and what controls do I need? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Is this possible? I find it hard to believe that this could be sooo difficult. I have a simple select stored procedure that has one parameter. My application is passing a comma delimited string of values to be used in the IN clause. Ex: Where x In(@parametername) the x column is an integer. How can one work around this??? Thanks!
I have a complex query where each row in the final dataset is a product. However each product has a number of authors associated with it. What I would like to do is have a query/subroutine join the authors to the product, as a string:

I am trying to build a dynamic where statement for my sql stored prcoedure if len(@Office) > 0 select @strWhereClause = N'cvEh.chOfficeId in (select id from dbo.csfParseDeLimitedText( ' + @vchOffice + ',' + ''',''' + '))' + ' and ' + @strWhereClause In this case users can enter comma delimited string in their search criteria. So if they enter we1, we2, we3 then my sql statement should look like select @strWhereClause = cvEh.chOfficeId in (select id from dbo.csfParseDeLimitedText('we1', 'we2', 'we3'),',') My csfParseDeLimitedText function looks like this Create FUNCTION [dbo].[csfParseDeLimitedText] (@p_text varchar(4000), @p_Delimeter char(1))RETURNS @results TABLE (id varchar(100))ASBEGIN declare @i1 varchar(200)declare @i2 varchar(200)declare @tempResults Table (id varchar(100))while len(@p_text) > 0 and charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) <> 0beginselect @i1 = left(@p_text, charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) - 1)insert @tempResults select @i1select @p_text = right(@p_text, len(@p_text) - charindex(@p_Delimeter,@p_text))endinsert @tempResults select @p_text insert @resultsselect *from @tempResultsreturnEND
My problem is it does not put quotes around the comma delimited stringso I want to put 'we1' , 'we2'. These single quotes are not coming in the dynamic sql statement. How can I modify my query so that single quotes around each entry should show up. Any help will be greatky appreciated. Thanks
I have a row in a SQL table that has 4 numerical values, separated by comma. I'd like to take this and make it 4 separate columns. Values are not always the same length, but are always delimited by commas.
I posted this originally in the incorrect forum I believe so I am reposting this in here which I believe is the proper place.
I need to move essentially a flat file from one server to another one and export it into a database on the second server. Does anyone have an easy process to accomplish this? I am currently at a loss. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I'm trying to upload a small Web application with a one table database. The hosting company, GoDaddy requires that I upload the database as a comma delimited file. I created the database in Visual Web Developer Express but also have Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio Express. I can't figure out how to export the database into a comma delimited file using any of these tools. This should be simple like it is in Access but that doesn't seem to be the case. This is holding up deploying my Web Application.
I need to split a string, based on comma delimetrs, into columns of a table.
I am using SQL Server 2005. The plan is to use webmethods (Integration Software) to receive a flat file, loop through the records in that flat file and during each iteration of the loop call a SQL stored procedure that will split the record, based on comma delimetrs, into columns of a table.
A typical record will look like this: AP05-07,ACTUAL,ZA01,......
I have looked at some of the past solutions to this type of post, but am battling to understand....
So if its possible, is there a simple way to create a stored procedure that will do this?
Hi,On SQLServer 2000, I have a table with a following structure:MYTABLEcol1 char,col2 date,col3 numberMy Objective:------------Externally (from a command line), to select all columns and write theoutput into a file delimited by a comma.My method:---------1. Probably will use OSQL or BCP to do this.2. Use the following syntax:select RTRIM(col1) +','+ RTRIM(col2) +','+ RTRIM(col3)from MYTABLE;My 3 Problems:-------------1) If there is a NULL column, the result of concatenating any value withNULL, is NULL. How can I work around this? I still want to record thiscolumn as null. Something like say from the example above, if col2 isnull, would result to: APPLE,,52) The time format when querying the database is: 2003-06-24 15:10:20.However, on the file, the data becomes: 24 JUN 2003 3:10PM. How can Ipreserve the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format? Notice that I also lost theSS.3) Which utility is better? BCP or OSQL?For OSQL, it has a "-s" flag which gives me the option of putting acolumn separator. But the result is:"APPLE ,14 JUN 2003 , 5"I don't need the extra space.While for BCP, there is no column separator flag.You will notice from my inquiry above that my background in SQLServer isnot very good.Thanks in Advance!!RegardsRicky*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I have a table named People(#Code, Name, eMailList), where the column eMailList has a list of email addresses separated by commas, like "someone@hotmail.com,someone@gmail.com,someone@yahoo.com".
I would like that for each Person, extract the email address info in such a way that I can insert into the following table: EMail(#Code, #ID, Address), where Address has a single email address.
