I'm trying to setup a SQL query where I want to get data by tags. The problem is that "Tags" column stores data in comma separated format, for example "tag1,tag2".
Code example:
SELECT * FROM News
WHERE (SELECT value FROM STRING_SPLIT(Tags, ','))
IN (SELECT value FROM STRING_SPLIT('tag1,tag2,tag3', ','));
Is it possible?
You can use a subquery where you join the result sets together:
SELECT N.*
FROM News N
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM STRING_SPLIT(N.Tags, ',') s1 JOIN
STRING_SPLIT('tag1,tag2,tag3', ',') s2
ON s1.value = s2.value
);

I have to join id of two sets where in on set has multiple ids and another table has only one id. My query is:
Select * from(Select('1301,1303,1305,1307,1309,1311,1313,1315') IDs from market group by market.Segment)P join DST d on p.IDs = d.ID
One thing to note is '1301,1303,1305,1307,1309,1311,1313,1315' is value coming from dynamic query so I can not manipulate this value (to 1301,1303,1305,1307,1309,1311,1313,1315).
In this query,d.ID is float type. This query does not work.
My aim is to find any record from DST table that has at least on id among ids 1301,1303,1305,1307,1309,1311,1313,1315.
How can I do this?
You can use IN clause :
select m.*
from market m
where m.id in (1301,1303,1305,1307,1309,1311,1313,1315);
If ids are in string format then you can do :
select m.*
from market m cross apply
dbo.string_split('1301,1303,1305,1307,1309,1311,1313,1315', ',') mm
where mm.value = m.id;
I have written a query in which I want to show the order of employees as per written in the query. Query is as follow
select * from employeemaster where employeename in
('Sachin','Gaurav','Vinay','Shiv','Sandeep','Vaibhav','Prashant')
I want to see the query result dislpaying Sachin first then the others and in this case the ID's of the employees is not in sequence, ex. Sachin's ID can be 4 and Vinay's ID can be 1. But as I have written Sachin in first place, then I want to see Sachin starting first in the result.
You can use a CTE with IDs to do the sorting and the filtering with an inner join.
WITH cte as (
SELECT *
FROM (VALUES
(1,'Sachin')
,(2,'Gaurav')
,(3,'Vinay')
,(4,'Shiv')
,(5,'Sandeep')
,(6,'Vaibhav')
,(7,'Prashant')
) a (id, [name])
)
SELECT em.*
FROM employeemaster em
JOIN cte
ON em.employeename = cte.[name]
ORDER BY cte.id
select * from employeemaster
join (values
('Sachin',1)
,('Gaurav',2)
,('Vinay',3)
,('Shiv',4)
,('Sandeep',5)
,('Vaibhav',6)
,('Prashant',7)) a(employeename ,_order) on a.employeename = employeemaster.employeename
order by a.[_order]
Looking at :
;WITH cte AS(
SELECT 1 AS x UNION
SELECT 2 AS x UNION
SELECT 3 AS x
)
I can create permutation table for all 3 values :
SELECT T1.x , y=T2.x , z=t3.x
FROM cte T1
JOIN cte T2
ON T1.x != T2.x
JOIN cte T3
ON T2.x != T3.x AND T1.x != T3.x
This uses the power of SQL's cartesian product plus eliminating equal values.
OK.
But is it possible to enhance this recursive pseudo CTE :
;WITH cte AS(
SELECT 1 AS x , 2 AS y , 3 AS z
UNION ALL
...
)
SELECT * FROM cte
So that it will yield same result as :
NB there are other solutions in SO that uses recursive CTE , but it is not spread to columns , but string representation of the permutations
I tried to do the lot in a CTE.
However trying to "redefine" a rowset dynamically is a little tricky. While the task is relatively easy using dynamic SQL doing it without poses some issues.
While this answer may not be the most efficient or straight forward, or even correct in the sense that it's not all CTE it may give others a basis to work from.
To best understand my approach read the comments, but it might be worthwhile looking at each CTE expression in turn with by altering the bit of code below in the main block, with commenting out the section below it.
SELECT * FROM <CTE NAME>
Good luck.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#cteSchema') IS NOT NULL
DROP Table #cteSchema
GO

;WITH cte AS( SELECT 1 AS x, 2 AS y, 3 AS z),
-- So we know what columns we have from the CTE we extract it to XML
Xml_Schema AS ( SELECT CONVERT(XML,(SELECT * FROM cte FOR XML PATH(''))) AS MySchema ),
-- Next we need to get a list of the columns from the CTE, by querying the XML, getting the values and assigning a num to the column
MyColumns AS (SELECT D.ROWS.value('fn:local-name(.)','SYSNAME') AS ColumnName,
D.ROWS.value('.','SYSNAME') as Value,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY D.ROWS.value('fn:local-name(.)','SYSNAME')) AS Num

AND Counterer < (SELECT ColumnStats.ColumnCount FROM ColumnStats)

How about translating 1,2,3 into a column, which will look exactly like the example you started from, and use the same approach ?
;WITH origin (x,y,z) AS (
SELECT 1,2,3
), translated (x) AS (
SELECT col
FROM origin
UNPIVOT ( col FOR cols IN (x,y,z)) AS up
)
SELECT T1.x , y=T2.x , z=t3.x
FROM translated T1
JOIN translated T2
ON T1.x != T2.x
JOIN translated T3
ON T2.x != T3.x AND T1.x != T3.x
ORDER BY 1,2,3
If I understood correctly the request, this might just do the trick.
And to run it on more columns, just need to add them origin cte definition + unpivot column list.
Now, i dont know how you pass your 1 - n values for it to be dynamic, but if you tell me, i could try edit the script to be dynamic too.
I have a table let's say it has four columns
Id, Name, Cell_no, Cat_id.
I need to return all columns whose count of Cat_id is greater than 1.
The group should be done on Cell_no and Name.
What i have done so far..
select Cell_no, COUNT(Cat_id)
from TableName
group by Cell_Number
having COUNT(Cat_id) > 1
But what i need is some thing like this.
select *
from TableName
group by Cell_Number
having COUNT(Cat_id) > 1
Pratik's answer is good but rather than using the IN operator (which only works for single values) you will need to JOIN back to the result set like this
SELECT t.*
FROM tableName t
INNER JOIN
(SELECT Cell_no, Name
FROM TableName
GROUP BY Cell_no , Name
HAVING COUNT(Cat_id) > 1) filter
ON t.Cell_no = filter.Cell_no AND t.Name = filter.Name
you just need to modify your query like below --
select * from tableName where (Cell_no, Name) in (
select Cell_no, Name from TableName
Group by Cell_no , Name
having COUNT(Cat_id) > 1
)
as asked in question you want to group by Cell_no and Name.. if so you need to change your query for group by columns and select part also.. as I have mentioned
This version requires only one pass over the data:
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT a.*
,COUNT(cat_id) OVER (PARTITION BY cell_no)
AS count_cat_id_not_null
FROM TableName a)
WHERE count_cat_id_not_null > 1;
I'm trying to extract some data from a third party system which uses an SQL Server database. The DB structure looks something like this:
Order
OrderID OrderNumber
1 OX101
2 OX102
OrderItem
OrderItemID OrderID OptionCodes
1 1 12,14,15
2 1 14
3 2 15
Option
OptionID Description
12 Batteries
14 Gift wrap
15 Case
[etc.]
What I want is one row per order item that includes a concatenated field with each option description. So something like this:
OrderItemID OrderNumber Options
1 OX101 Batteries\nGift Wrap\nCase
2 OX101 Gift Wrap
3 OX102 Case
Of course this is complicated by the fact that the options are a comma separated string field instead of a proper lookup table. So I need to split this up by comma in order to join in the options table, and then concat the result back into one field.
At first I tried creating a function which splits out the option data by comma and returns this as a table. Although I was able to join the result of this function with the options table, I wasn't able to pass the OptionCodes column to the function in the join, as it only seemed to work with declared variables or hard-coded values.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I would use a splitting function (here's an example) to get individual values and keep them in a CTE. Then you can join the CTE to your table called "Option".
SELECT * INTO #Order
FROM (
SELECT 1 OrderID, 'OX101' OrderNumber UNION SELECT 2, 'OX102'
) X;
SELECT * INTO #OrderItem
FROM (
SELECT 1 OrderItemID, 1 OrderID, '12,14,15' OptionCodes
UNION
SELECT 2, 1, '14'
UNION
SELECT 3, 2, '15'
) X;
SELECT * INTO #Option
FROM (
SELECT 12 OptionID, 'Batteries' Description
UNION
SELECT 14, 'Gift Wrap'
UNION
SELECT 15, 'Case'
) X;
WITH N AS (
SELECT I.OrderID, I.OrderItemID, X.items OptionCode
FROM #OrderItem I CROSS APPLY dbo.Split(OptionCodes, ',') X
)
SELECT Q.OrderItemID, Q.OrderNumber,
CONVERT(NVarChar(1000), (
SELECT T.Description + ','
FROM N INNER JOIN #Option T ON N.OptionCode = T.OptionID
WHERE N.OrderItemID = Q.OrderItemID
FOR XML PATH(''))
) Options
FROM (
SELECT N.OrderItemID, O.OrderNumber
FROM #Order O INNER JOIN N ON O.OrderID = N.OrderID
GROUP BY N.OrderItemID, O.OrderNumber) Q
DROP TABLE #Order;
DROP TABLE #OrderItem;
DROP TABLE #Option;
