I am writing a stored procedure that needs a access individual entries in a column with multiple entries delimited by a comma(yeah i know, not 1st NF) . Like this:
Key
NotANormalizedCol
1
1324, 5124, 5435,5467
2
423, 23, 5345
3
52334, 53443, 1224
4
12, 4, 1243,66
is there a function that returns a substring given a delimiter character? the only substring returning function that i found are the LEFT and RIGHT that returns fixed length substring.
I am pretty new to this, so I apologize if this is a trivial questions
Hi all, I’m returning two values from a stored procedure, one is a basic string confirming that an email has been sent and the other is the normal value returned from running an INSERT statement. So in my code I’m using the ExecuteNonQuery() method. I’m not sure how to handle both returned values in my code in my data layer. This is what I have: ExecuteNonQuery(cmd); return Convert.ToString(cmd.Parameters["@ReturnedValue"].Value).ToLower(); Obviously I’d need to return the value returned by the ExecuteNonQuery method as well, normally I’d simply convert the value to an int and precede this with the return keyword like so: return (int)ExecuteNonQuery(cmd); Obviously I can’t do this as I need to return two values, the normal value returned by the ExecuteNonQuery() method and my own output parameter value. Any ideas how I can do both? My current method containing the code further above returns a string but clearly this doesn’t help. I’m guessing that maybe I should return an object array so I can return both values? I haven’t encountered this problem before so I’m just guessing. Please help. Thanks
I would like to know how i can handle multiple columns returned by a subquery via IN clause in case of sql server 2005. I can do that in oracle by using the following statement:
DELETE FROM TEST1 WHERE (ID, ID1) NOT IN (SELECT ID,ID1 FROM TEST2);
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?
For example: Student ID: 100 Student Name: Kelly Preston Subjects: Geography, History, Math
How can I store these values in a database table? I know the normal "INSERT" statement, but how would I store the multiple subjects for a single student ID?
My "Student ID" is auto generated. If I create a new row for each subject, the Student ID will be different for each subject, which I dont want.
Or I can create a new field called "RowNumber" and keep that the primary key.. For example:
Row Number StudentID StudentName Subject 1 100 Kelly Geography 2 100 Kelly History 3 100 Kelly Math
If this is the only way to store the multiple sibjects, then for a given student ID (say 100), how can I retreieve the associated name and subjects? What is the query for that?
I am trying to filter my columns on multiple values. I need them all to be OR because I want it to look through all of the columns and wherever the value matches to not include in the view. My WHERE clause that I thought would work looked like this..
WHERE (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.SYMBOL LIKE '%spot%')) AND (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.ISSPREAD = 'True')) AND (NOT (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.GMIPRODUCTCODE = 'Internal')) AND (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.TAG_COMMENT IN ('[]', '[Gscalp]', '[TT]', '[GX2]', '[NA]', '[STELLAR]')) OR (RTPL_VOLUME_DATA_1.TAG_COMMENT IS NULL)
However this does not work and provide the data needed. I then thought that if I replaced all the AND's with OR's that would work, but here it does not filter anything.. not sure where to go from here.
Select ID, FIRST(forename), FIRST(surname) from table1 GROUP BY ID;
I know First doesn't work in TSQL, I used to use it in Access and now need to run something like that in TSQL. Simply getting unique ID with first forename and surname, cause there are some dupes in a table.
There are records like:
ID forename surname -------------------------------- 1 John Kormack 1 James Dope 2 Erin Dupes 3 Will Hugh 3 Walter Heisenberg
Suppose that I have a table with following values Table1 Col1 Col2 Col3 ----------------------------------------------------------- P3456 C935876 T675 P5555 C678909 T8888
And the outcome that I want is: CombinedValues(ColumnName) ---------------------------------------------- P3456 - C935876 - T675 P5555 - C678909 - T8888
where CombinedValues column contains values of coulmn 1,2 & 3 seperated by '-' So is there any way to achieve this?
If I have a column in one table (contracts) that contains a set of values (codes that identify the fields contract code) like as follows...
Code:
Contracts table -------------------------------- Concode - description -------------------------------- KIDD - Kidderminster General UNIV - University Hospitals
and then another table (controls) which has a column called contracts where the data within the 'Contracts' field is set out like the following (yes that is right, each of the data in this column are the Foreign Keys which are separated by '/' in which I need to query against the contracts table ) ...
With the those tables and the columns like they are, how can I get my query to display the following information...
PHP Code:
--------------------------------------------------- Con(Controls table) - Description(contracts table) --------------------------------------------------- BA - Kidderminster General BA - University Hospitals ---------------------------------------------------
I'm guessing my first job is to somehow extract those Foreign Keys from the 'Contracts' column in the 'Control' table
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.
SELECT ID1, ID2, type, (case when type = '1' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value1, (case when type = '3' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value2, (case when type <> '1' and type <> '3' then sum(value) else '0' end) as Value3 FROM table1 WHERE ID1 = 'x' and ID2= 'y' GROUP BY ID1, ID2, Type
I was to split each record into multiple columns. The problem is some records need to be split into only 1 column, others may need to be split into more. Also need to remove the "/"'s. This is all dependent on where a "/" is found. Been beating my head for a while and getting nowhere.
So:
create table #foo (myPK int, c1 nvarchar(425)) insert into #foo values (1,'/folder1') insert into #foo values (2,'/lvl1/folder2') insert into #foo values (3,'/folder1/lvl2/folder3') insert into #foo values (4,'/f1/folder2/lvl3/fldr4')
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 have a table #vert where I have value column. This data needs to be updated into two channel columns in #hori table based on channel number in #vert table.
CREATE TABLE #Vert (FILTER VARCHAR(3), CHANNEL TINYINT, VALUE TINYINT) INSERT #Vert Values('ABC', 1, 22),('ABC', 2, 32),('BBC', 1, 12),('BBC', 2, 23),('CAB', 1, 33),('CAB', 2, 44) -- COMBINATION OF FILTER AND CHANNEL IS UNIQUE CREATE TABLE #Hori (FILTER VARCHAR(3), CHANNEL1 TINYINT, CHANNEL2 TINYINT) INSERT #Hori Values ('ABC', NULL, NULL),('BBC', NULL, NULL),('CAB', NULL, NULL) -- FILTER IS UNIQUE IN #HORI TABLE
One way to achieve this is to write two update statements. After update, the output you see is my desired output
UPDATE H SET CHANNEL1= VALUE FROM #Hori H JOIN #Vert V ON V.FILTER=H.FILTER WHERE V.CHANNEL=1 -- updates only channel1 UPDATE H SET CHANNEL2= VALUE FROM #Hori H JOIN #Vert V ON V.FILTER=H.FILTER WHERE V.CHANNEL=2 -- updates only channel2 SELECT * FROM #Hori -- this is desired output
my channels number grows in #vert table like 1,2,3,4...and so Channel3, Channel4....so on in #hori table. So I cannot keep writing too many update statements. One other way is to pivot #vert table and do single update into #hori table.
I would like to know the solution for the below problem.
Actually I have a single Hibernate xml file which has the query on it. And I am accessing the xml file for SQL server 2005 and Oracle 10G. But the query is working in Oracle and not working in SQl Server.
I noticed from the query that handling 'NULL' is the problem.
Findings: 1. The following query is the same in both Oracle and SQL Server, which is causing the Issue. SELECT * FROM CLIENT_SKU AS o WHERE o.OU_ID = 20000000 AND ((o.CLIENT_SKU_START_CODE <= 'wwwww' AND o.CLIENT_SKU_END_CODE >= 'wwwww') OR (o.CLIENT_SKU_START_CODE <= '' AND o.CLIENT_SKU_END_CODE >= '') OR (o.CLIENT_SKU_START_CODE >= 'wwwww' AND o.CLIENT_SKU_END_CODE < '') OR (o.CLIENT_SKU_START_CODE = 'wwwww' AND o.CLIENT_SKU_END_CODE is null))
CAUSE: Oracle treats NULL and the empty string almost the same making the latter almost an alias for NULL The following two statements produce identical results: 1. update employee set lastname = '' 2. update employee set lastname = NULL In our case, the CLIENT_SKU_END_CODE is an empty string which is being checked with an empty string returns False in Oracle where as returns True in Sql Server causing the issue.
It would be great if any one who can give some possible solution to resolve the same.
I would like some suggestions on how to keep from displaying the value "1/1/1900" on my asp pages when my recordset field returns a Sql date value that is null
Hi, Ive got a report using a List item that is vertically displaying the columns from a table. The problem I run into, is that some of the fields in this table contain large blocks of text where the users have entered comments and such.
I am using Textboxes to display this data.
So my report will look something like ----- Field label 1 Field value 1 Field label 2 Field value 2 Field label 3
<white space>
<page break>
Field value 3 ---> this is a big block of text Field label 4 Field value 4 etc ------ It appears as though the report attempts to keep the contents of each textbox together even if that means breaking onto an entirely new page to do this. I would prefer for the data to flow more natrually instead where the page breaks in the middle of the data being displayed should it be too large to fit on the page it started on.
----- Field label 1 Field value 1 Field label 2 Field value 2 Field label 3 Field value 3 --- As much as can fit on this page
<page break>
Field value 3 ---> remaining data that broke over the page Field label 4 Field value 4 etc ------
Can anyone let me know the prefered method for handling stored procedure errors. I usually trap the error in the stored proc and then return a value using an output parameter e.g stored proc if @@error <> 0 beginset @returnValue = -1returnend c#com.Parameters.Add("@returnValue", SqlDbType.Int).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;con.Open();com.ExecuteNonQuery(); int result = (int)com.Parameters[0].Value; if (result == -1){//throw exception}else{//do whatever}
I am working on SQL Server in VB 2008. I have a table 'Records' having 8 columns. I have a search page where I can choose 5 different parameters to search as 'Category' , 'Name' , 'Date' etc.
I can successfully search with a single criteria selected either Category Name Or Date. But I want to create a single SQL command that can search my 'Records' table for either two or all the parameters depending on the selections made by the user.
I have a need to read a table and extract records that matches a criteria (dough!, not that simple). Then I put the record in a text message and send them out via email. Works OK, but the problem is when I have multiple records for one entry. Since SQL doesn't have arrays "per say", I need to load the records on a "temporary array" then assembly the message at the end to include the records. Any suggestions how to "emulate" an array on a stored procedure (SQL), not sure what direction to follow. thanks
In almost all scenarios, where there is an error, it also raises 3-4 other errors like these ones below.
I'm 100% sure, the 1st one is the actual error resulting in package failure and the errors 2-5 is the result of error #1. So what ever code I have in the error handler section of the package gets executed 5 times.
How do I handle this? Can do I hard coding for the error numbers?
1. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E07.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" Hresult: 0x80040E07 Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected ".
2. The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (1) returned error code 0xC0202009. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
3. Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.
4. Thread "WorkThread0" received a shutdown signal and is terminating. The user requested a shutdown, or an error in another thread is causing the pipeline to shutdown.
5. Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039.
Hi,Currently we get data from more then 200 different sources and all ofour vendors provide data in different file formats. The problem is wehave more then 100 DTS packages now and the maintainance is verydiffucult.Every time our vendor changes the format we have to change in multipleDTS packages.Is anybody know what would be the right way of reducing the no. of DTSpackages.The type of file formats we get are .xls .txt .dat .csv etc. and .txt& .dat files comes with different delimitters. The # of columns alsovaries from file to file. Is it possible to have a DTS package whichcan handle diff file formats and loads data into a staging table andfrom there based of the source of the file we can move data intorespective tables & columns.We are using SQL SERVER 2000Thanks in advance.Subodh
I have a situation in SSRS to get the common values between the two columns where the values are sorted comma separated as below.Ex:
ColumnA : abc,cde,efg ColumnB : cde,xyz,abc
the result in
ColumnC : cde,abc
similarly Column A and B will have n number records. I need to right an expression or the Code function to get the required result in ColumnC. I am using SharePoint Lists as Datasource. Cannot write SQL query to achieve this requirement.
Basically, I'm given a daily schedule on two separate rows for shift 1 and shift 2 for the same employee, I'm trying to align both shifts in one row as shown below in 'My desired results' section.
Sample Data:
;WITH SampleData ([ColumnA], [ColumnB], [ColumnC], [ColumnD]) AS ( SELECT 5060,'04/30/2015','05:30', '08:30' UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '04/30/2015','13:30', '15:30' UNION ALL SELECT 5060,'05/02/2015','05:30', '08:30' UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '05/02/2015','13:30', '15:30'
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'd like to first figure out the count of how many rows are not the Current Edition have the following:
Second I'd like to be able to select the primary key of all the rows involved
Third I'd like to select all the primary keys of just the rows not in the current edition
Not really sure how to describe this without making a dataset
CREATE TABLE [Project].[TestTable1]( [TestTable1_pk] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Source_ID] [int] NOT NULL, [Edition_fk] [int] NOT NULL, [Key1_fk] [int] NOT NULL, [Key2_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
Group by fails me because I only want the groups where the Edition_fk don't match...
it is my first post on this forum, please be patient if i miss any important bit of information.
i am transporting data from a legacy system into mssql 2k5 using SSIS. among those column of a dataset there are 13 columns, all necessary for operational reasons, that i need to ensure data consistance.
i believe i could do this check using the lookup data flow item, but surely there must be a way to do it in a more streamlined fashion.
since column names contain numbers to distinguish the version, eg; col01, col02, col03 .. col13.
i thought i could include the lookup within a loop and use a couple of variables to do this trick, but since i have not done it before i am asking for some sort of guidance from a guru among you folks.
please let me know if further clarification is necessary.
I am SSRS user, We have a .net UI from where we want to pass multi select values, but these values are comma separated in the database. how can I write a sql query such that when I select multi values on my UI, the comma separated values are take care of.
