Let me point out at the beginning that I don't have anyway to normalize this structure or get the admins to change the way the data is stored. We don't own the database where this is housed...we're just given the information via an .xls file...which we import to a SQLServer table.
I have some data that is given to me that has two columns (below is for an example): Column A is an identifiying number, i.e. for a project Column B is a comma separated list of account strings for the project
A sample layout of what we get via the .xls file might look like the following (Column A is to the left of the dashes, and Column B is to the right of the dashes):
What I need to do is now haveprojects listed out in Column A with each of it's account strings in Column B like so: AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 2222 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 3333 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 4444 AA.ProjectBuildTower ----- 5555
declare @Sample table (ID int, message varchar(1000)) insert into @Sample(ID,message) select 1,'Testing 1' union all select 1,'Testing 2' union all select 1,'Testing 3' union all
[Code] ....
I need to get top three values has to be comma separated. for example id 1 has 5 rows message which comma separated. Instead i need to consider top three message group by Id
Picture tells all what i need. Anyway i want to combine upper two tables data like below result sets. Means they should be grouped by bsns_id and its description should be comma separated taken from 2nd table. In sql server 2012 ....

I am trying to find a way to add into a table a flattened (comma seperated list) of email addresses based on the multiple columns of nformation in another table (joined by customer_full_name and postcode.
This is to highlight duplicate email addresses for people under the same customer_full_name and Postcode.
I have done this using a loop which loops through concatenating the email addresses but it takes 1minute to do 1000. The table is 19,000 so this isn't really acceptable. I have tried temp tables, table variables and none of this seems to make any difference. I think that it is becuase i am joining on text columns?
How do I get the values of a column from a table separated by a comma.
For example
Suppose I have a table with column Levels (below), I want the values of the corresponding column separated by a comma, so that I can use this in a different query to pull these values from a different table
Hi, I want a column in a database table to store comma separated values. So can I store it as a string type(varchar,nchar) using commas? What are the other alternatives provided in Sql Server 2005
(OK, I guess bad table design, here's the question: )I have a table Buildings and one column is consultants. Inside this column are codes of another table Consultants separated with comma i.e. 0001, 0002, 0003, .... I want to select data from Buildings and last_names of Consultants in the same query.SELECT code, *other Building columns*, consultants_last_namesFROM Buildings Please help.
I have 3 variables that gets comma separated values. My requirement is to get them into a temporary table with 3 columns and each column should have single value. E.g. ifÂ
Declare @SID varchar(max),@CID VARCHAR(MAX),@KID VARCHAR(MAX) Set @SID='1,2,3,4' Set @CID='6,7,8,9' Set @KID='A,BB,CCC,DDDD'
--Now my requirement is to get them in a temp table with 3 column and different rows as per comma separated values in variables.
Now my requirement is to get them in a temp table with 3 columns and different rows (as per number of comma separated values in variables) E.g.
I have a parameter value as shown below and this is dynamic and can growÂ
Example : 101-NY, 102-CA, 165-GA 116-NY, 258-NJ, 254-PA, 245-DC, 298-AL How do I get the values in the below format NY,CA,GA Â --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL Â --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch  only state names and not the numbers.
Hi All I am working on a query to get all the datetime values in a column in a table into a comma separated text. eg. ColumnDate --------------------------- 2005-11-09 00:00:00.0002005-11-13 00:00:00.0002005-11-14 00:00:00.0002005-11-16 00:00:00.000 I wanted to get something like 2005-11-09, 2005-11-13, 2005-11-14, 2005-11-16 Have just started SQL and hence am getting confused in what I think should be a relatively simple query. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
Hi,I'm sure this is a common problem.. to create a single field from awhole column, where each row would be separated by a comma.I can do this for a specified table, and column.. and I've created afunction using VBA to achieve a more dynamic (and very slow) solution..so I would like to implement it using a user defined function in sql server.The problems I'm facing are, that I can't use dynamic sql in afunction.. and I also can't use temporary tables which could build up a'standard' table from parameters given to then perform the function on.So, with these limitations, what other options do I have?Cheers,Chris
Hi, I have a table called geofence. It has a primary key geofence_id. Each geofence consists of a set of latitudes and latitudes. So I defined two columns latitude and longitude and their type is varchar. I want to store all latitude/longitude values as a comma separated values in latitude/longitude columns So in general how do people implement these types of requirements in relational databases?
I have to use the above comma separated values into a SQL Search query whose datatype is integer. How would i do this Search query in the IN Operator of SQL Server. My query is :
declare @id varchar(50) set @id= '3,4,6,7' set @id=(select replace(@id,'''',''))-- in below select query Id is of Integer datatype select *from ehsservice where id in(@id)
But this query throws following error message:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '3,4,6,7' to data type int.
I have a table that is used to build rules. The rules point to other columns in other tables and usually contain only one value (i.e. ABC). But one of the options is to add a comma-separated list of SSNs (i.e. 123123123,012012012,112231122). I am trying to build a single query that allows me to leverage that list to get multiple rows from another table.
This obviously works:
SELECT * FROM vw_Person_Profile P (NOLOCK) WHERE P.PrsnPIISSN_Chr IN ('123123123','012012012','112231122')
But this does not:
SELECT * FROM vw_Person_Profile P (NOLOCK) WHERE P.PrsnPIISSN_Chr IN ( SELECT '''' + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(4000),txtFieldValue), ',', ''',''') + '''' FROM MassProcessing_Rules PR WHERE PR.intRuleID = 10 )
I have a table with Million plus records. Due to Running Totals article, I have been able to calculate the Trial_Balance for all months.
Now I am trying to provide a Beginning Balance for all months and the Logic is the Beginning Balance of July would be the Trial_Balance of June. I need to be able to do this for multiple account types. So the two datasets that need to be included in logic is actindx and Calendar_Month.
For actindx of 2 and Calendar_Month of 2014-01-01The Trial_Balance_Debit is 19585.46 This would make the Beginning_Balance of actindx 2 and Calendar_Month of 2014-02-01 19585.46
I am trying to do some type of self join, but not sure how to include each actindx number differently.
Table creation and data insert is below.
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TrialBalance]( [Trial_Balance_ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
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 have a file which contains comma separated columns. One of columns contains names of companies. Sometimes the names of the companies have a comma as part of the name. For those, the value is surrounded by double-quotes.
But it seems that SSIS ignores the double quotes and ONLY looks for the column separator. This causes my value to be split in half.
Traditionally, I thought parsers that deal with this type of import do not automatically take the first comma following the double-quote as the column separator but instead look for the first comma following the ending quote. (i.e. Look at how Excel performs imports...)
I cannot set the column separator of the column to double-quote comma since only those values that HAVE a comma in them are qualified.
The last entry should be imported as 12 in the first column, "Peter, Paul, Mary" in the second column and 09643 in the third but instead ends up as 12 in the first, "Peter in second column and Paul, Mary", 09643 in the last.
(Oddly enough, if I remove the first column of numbers the import works like it is supposed.)
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
This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.
From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.
When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."
Now my require ment that I want a distinct comma separated report about these data.Means for code 1 I need a comma separated distinct values.In this case it should be a,b,d My output should be like this 1 a,b,d 2 c,g Can anybody help me I can I do this with the help of a cursor or any other way?

I’m passing a comma separated parameter (home, world, child) into stored procedure. I have a Slitter function which is basically creates a table out of delimited list.
My stored procedure needs to find matched records in one of the table based on delimited list.
I have something like this:
SELECT * FROM Word WHERE WordName IN (SELECT * FROM dbo.fxSplitter('home,world,child, ',')
I would like to have my stored procedure be able to select rows, even if comma delimited parameter holds part of the name like this “hom, wor, chil� . Another words it will be SELECT * FROM Word WHERE WordName LIKE '%hom%' OR WordName LIKE '%wor%' OR WordName LIKE '%chil%'
I got the result set as shown below (By executing another query i got this).
Month Status Count ===== ====== ===== April I 129 April O 4689 April S 6 July I 131 July O 4838 July S 8 June I 131 June O 4837 June S 8 May I 131 May O 4761 May S 7
But, I need the same result set as below
Month I O S ===== = = = April 129 4689 6 July 131 4838 8 June 131 4837 8 May 131 4761 7
