I have this table:
I need to convert it to (with parenthesis as well):
row_nbr - row_label - default_order
10 - TOTAL ACCOUNTABLE GROSS - (1, 3)
12 - DEDUCTIBLE TERMS - (3)
20 - TOTAL DEDUCTIBLE TERMS - (3)
34 - AMOUNT DUE (UNRECOUPED) - (4)
36 - ACCOUNTABLE GROSS - (2)
41 - TOTAL CONTINGENT COMPENSATION - (3)
I could have more than twice of the same row_nbr.
In this case the 10 is there twice, but I could have 3 10's, 4 12's, etc.
I kind of started the pivot table but honestly, even by looking at the Microsoft site, I cannot for the life of me figure this out.
select row_nbr, row_label, default_order
from #temp
pivot
(
max(row_nbr)
for default_order in (default_order)
) piv;
Anyone care to help?
Thanks.
As #Vinit says, you can use the string_agg function in 2017, but if you're at least on 2005 you can use a horrible, torturous XML generator:
SELECT row_nbr
,row_label
,default_order = '(' +
STUFF(
(SELECT ', ' + CAST(default_order AS VARCHAR(10))
FROM #temp
WHERE row_nbr = t.row_nbr
ORDER BY default_order
FOR XML PATH('') ,
ROOT('MyString'),
TYPE ).value('/MyString[1]', 'varchar(max)'), 1, 2, '')
+ ')'
FROM #temp t;
You can read more about it in this blog post
PIVOTS are definitely wonky to get a grip on. Fortunately, in this case, while you could use one as an intermediate step, it's not necessary. PIVOT will take each value and put it into a corresponding distinct column, and what you're wanting is a single column, with them all concatenated together. Like I said, you could do the pivot, then just concatenate all the generated columns together, but that's way more work than is needed.
On 2014, the easiest way to do this is using FOR XML. Russell Fox's answer pretty much covers how that technique works (although there are a few variants on how you can do that should you so choose).
If you know definitively the values are all integers, you can save a bit of typing and omit the type and value operators, as those are only necessary when you have to escape certain XML characters in string fields
select
row_nbr,
row_label,
default_order,
stuff
(
(
select concat(',', default_order)
from #temp i
where i.row_nbr = o.row_nbr
for xml path('')
), 1, 1, ''
)
from #temp o

This has ben answered here: http://nz2nz.blogspot.com/2016/09/netezza-transpose-delimited-string-into.html?m=1
Please note the comment at the button about the best performing way of use if array functions. I have measured the use of regexp_extract_all_sp() versus repeated regex matches and the benefit can be quite large
The examples from nz2nz.blogpost.com are hard to follow. I was able to piece together this method:
with
n_rows as (--update on your end
select row_number() over(partition by 1 order by some_field) as seq_num
from any_table_with_more_rows_than_delimited_values
)
, find_values as ( -- fake data
select 'A' as id, '10,20,30' as orig_values
union select 'B', '5,4,3,2,1'
)
select
id,
seq_num,
orig_values,
array_split(orig_values, ',') as array_list,
get_value_varchar(array_list, seq_num) as value
from
find_values
cross join n_rows
where
seq_num <= regexp_match_count(orig_values, ',') + 1 -- one row for each value in list
order by
id,
seq_num
My question is not exactly but similar to this question
How to SELECT parts from a comma-separated field with a LIKE statement
but i have not seen any answer there. So I am posting my question again.
i have the following table
╔════════════╦═════════════╗
║ VacancyId ║ Media ║
╠════════════╬═════════════╣
║ 1 ║ 32,26,30 ║
║ 2 ║ 31, 25,20 ║
║ 3 ║ 21,32,23 ║
╚════════════╩═════════════╝
I want to select data who has media id=30 or media=21 or media= 40
So in this case the output will return the 1st and the third row.
How can I do that ?
I have tried media like '30' but that does not return any value. Plus i just dont need to search for one string in that field .
My database is SQL Server
Thank you
It's never good to use the comma separated values to store in database if it is feasible try to make separate tables to store them as most probably this is 1:n relationship.
If this is not feasible then there are following possible ways you can do this,
If your number of values to match are going to stay same, then you might want to do the series of Like statement along with OR/AND depending on your requirement.
Ex.-
WHERE
Media LIKE '%21%'
OR Media LIKE '%30%'
OR Media LIKE '%40%'
However above query will likely to catch all the values which contains 21 so even if columns with values like 1210,210 will also be returned. To overcome this you can do following trick which is hamper the performance as it uses functions in where clause and that goes against making Seargable queries.
But here it goes,
--Declare valueSearch variable first to value to match for you can do this for multiple values using multiple variables.
Declare #valueSearch = '21'
-- Then do the matching in where clause
WHERE
(',' + RTRIM(Media) + ',') LIKE '%,' + #valueSearch + ',%'
If the number of values to match are going to change then you might want to look into FullText Index and you should thinking about the same.
And if you decide to go with this after Fulltext Index you can do as below to get what you want,
Ex.-
WHERE
CONTAINS(Media, '"21" OR "30" OR "40"')
The best possible way i can suggest is first you have do comma separated value to table using This link and you will end up with table looks like below.
SELECT * FROM Table
WHERE Media in('30','28')
It will surely works.
You can use this, but the performance is inevitably poor. You should, as others have said, normalise this structure.
WHERE
',' + media + ',' LIKE '%,21,%'
OR ',' + media + ',' LIKE '%,30,%'
Etc, etc...
If you are certain that any Media value containing the string 30 will be one you wish to return, you just need to include wildcards in your LIKE statement:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE Media LIKE '%30%'
Bear in mind though that this would also return a record with a Media value of 298,300,302 for example, so if this is problematic for you, you'll need to consider a more sophisticated method, like:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE Media LIKE '%,30,%'
OR Media LIKE '30,%'
OR Media LIKE '%,30'
OR Media = '30'
If there might be spaces in the strings (as per in your question), you'll also want to strip these out:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE REPLACE(Media,' ','') LIKE '%,30,%'
OR REPLACE(Media,' ','') LIKE '30,%'
OR REPLACE(Media,' ','') LIKE '%,30'
OR REPLACE(Media,' ','') = '30'
Edit: I actually prefer Coder of Code's solution to this:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE ',' + LTRIM(RTRIM(REPLACE(Media,' ',''))) + ',' LIKE '%,30,%'
You mention that would wish to search for multiple strings in this field, which is also possible:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE Media LIKE '%30%'
OR Media LIKE '%28%'
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE Media LIKE '%30%'
AND Media LIKE '%28%'
I agree not a good idea comma seperated values stored like that. Bu if you have to;
I think using inline function is will give better performance;
Select VacancyId, Media from (
Select 1 as VacancyId, '32,26,30' as Media
union all
Select 2, '31,25,20'
union all
Select 3, '21,32,23'
) asa
CROSS APPLY dbo.udf_StrToTable(Media, ',') tbl
where CAST(tbl.Result as int) in (30,21,40)
Group by VacancyId, Media
Output is;
VacancyId Media
----------- ---------
1 32,26,30
3 21,32,23
and our inline function script is;
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[udf_StrToTable]') and xtype in (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF'))
drop function [dbo].udf_StrToTable
GO
CREATE FUNCTION udf_StrToTable (#List NVARCHAR(MAX), #Delimiter NVARCHAR(1))
RETURNS TABLE
With Encryption
AS
RETURN
( WITH Split(stpos,endpos)
AS(
SELECT 0 AS stpos, CHARINDEX(#Delimiter,#List) AS endpos
UNION ALL
SELECT CAST(endpos+1 as int), CHARINDEX(#Delimiter,#List,endpos+1)
FROM Split
WHERE endpos > 0
)
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) as inx,
SUBSTRING(#List,stpos,COALESCE(NULLIF(endpos,0),LEN(#List)+1)-stpos) Result
FROM Split
)
GO
This solution uses a RECURSIVE CTE to identify the position of each comma within the string then uses SUBSTRING to return all strings between the commas.
I've left some unnecessary code in place to help you get you head round what it's doing. You can strip it down to provide exactly what you need.
DROP TABLE #TMP
CREATE TABLE #TMP(ID INT, Vals CHAR(100))
INSERT INTO #TMP(ID,VALS)
VALUES
(1,'32,26,30')
,(2,'31, 25,20')
,(3,'21,32,23')
;WITH cte
AS
(
SELECT

,CHARINDEX(',',VALS,0) REM
FROM
#TMP
UNION ALL
SELECT ID,VALS,REM,CHARINDEX(',',VALS,REM+1)
FROM
cte c
WHERE CHARINDEX(',',VALS,REM+1) > 0
UNION ALL
SELECT ID,VALS,REM,LEN(VALS)
FROM
cte c
WHERE POS+1 < LEN(VALS) AND CHARINDEX(',',VALS,REM+1) = 0
)
,cte_Clean
AS
(
SELECT ID,CAST(REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(VALS,POS+1,REM-POS))),',','') AS INT) AS VAL FROM cte
WHERE POS <> REM
)
SELECT

How to use GROUP BY to concatenate strings in SQL Server?
(22 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have a table which looks like the following:
EventProfileID ParamName ParamValue
1 _CommandText usp_storedproc_1
2 _CommandText usp_storedproc_2
2 _CommandText usp_storedproc_3
2 _CommandText usp_storedproc_100
3 _CommandText usp_storedproc_11
3 _CommandText usp_storedproc_123
What I would like my output to be is the following:
EventProfileID ParamValue
1 usp_storedproc_1
2 usp_storedproc_2, usp_storedproc_3, usp_storedproc_100
3 usp_storedproc_11, usp_storedproc_123
However I am having some bother. If I do a select on one of the event profile ID's I can get an output using the following logic:
SELECT LEFT(c.ParamValue, LEN(c.ParamValue) - 1)
FROM (
SELECT a.ParamValue + ', '
FROM DP_EventProfileParams AS a
WHERE a.ParamName = '_CommandText'
and a.EventProfileId = '13311'
FOR XML PATH ('')
) c (paramvalue)
However that just gives me the output for one EventProfileID and also I would like the EventProfileID as part of the output.
Can anyone give me any pointers in the right direction into how I can expand my code to include this and allow the code to be dynamic so that I can show all EventProfileID's?
Thanks
You can do it this way:
select distinct a.EventProfileID,
stuff((select ','+ ParamValue)
from DP_EventProfileParams s
where s.EventProfileID = a.EventProfileID
for XML path('')),1,1,'')
from DP_EventProfileParams a
You were on the right track with for XML path. STUFF function makes it easier to achieve what you want.
The original query does not work because it uses simple subquery (works only for one specific id)
To make it work for all ids you can use XML + STUFF inside correlated subquery:
Many queries can be evaluated by executing the subquery once and
substituting the resulting value or values into the WHERE clause of
the outer query. In queries that include a correlated subquery (also
known as a repeating subquery), the subquery depends on the outer
query for its values. This means that the subquery is executed
repeatedly, once for each row that might be selected by the outer
query.
SELECT DISTINCT
EventProfileID,
[ParamVaues] =
STUFF((SELECT ',' + d2.ParamValue
FROM #DP_EventProfileParams d2
WHERE d1.EventProfileID = d2.EventProfileID
AND d2.ParamName = '_CommandText'
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '')
FROM #DP_EventProfileParams d1
ORDER BY EventProfileID;

I strongly suggest reading Concatenating Row Values in Transact-SQL
Well I had asked the same question for jquery on here, Now my question is same with SQL Server Query :) But this time this is not comma separated, this is separate row in Database like
I have separated rows having float numbers.
Name
K1.1
K1.10
K1.2
K3.1
K3.14
K3.5
and I want to sort this float numbers like,
Name
K1.1
K1.2
K1.10
K3.1
K3.5
K3.14
actually in my case, the numbers which are after decimals will consider as a natural numbers, so 1.2 will consider as '2' and 1.10 will consider as '10' thats why 1.2 will come first than 1.10.
You can remove 'K' because it is almost common and suggestion or example would be great for me, thanks.
You can use PARSENAME (which is more of a hack) or String functions like CHARINDEX , STUFF, LEFT etc to achieve this.
Input data
;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT 'K1.1' Name
UNION ALL SELECT 'K1.10'
UNION ALL SELECT 'K1.2'
UNION ALL SELECT 'K3.1'
UNION ALL SELECT 'K3.14'
UNION ALL SELECT 'K3.5'
)
Using PARSENAME
SELECT Name,PARSENAME(REPLACE(Name,'K',''),2),PARSENAME(REPLACE(Name,'K',''),1)
FROM CTE
ORDER BY CONVERT(INT,PARSENAME(REPLACE(Name,'K',''),2)),
CONVERT(INT,PARSENAME(REPLACE(Name,'K',''),1))
Using String Functions
SELECT Name,LEFT(Name,CHARINDEX('.',Name) - 1), STUFF(Name,1,CHARINDEX('.',Name),'')
FROM CTE
ORDER BY CONVERT(INT,REPLACE((LEFT(Name,CHARINDEX('.',Name) - 1)),'K','')),
CONVERT(INT,STUFF(Name,1,CHARINDEX('.',Name),''))
Output
K1.1 K1 1
K1.2 K1 2
K1.10 K1 10
K3.1 K3 1
K3.5 K3 5
K3.14 K3 14
This works if there is always one char before the first number and the number is not higher than 9:
SELECT name
FROM YourTable
ORDER BY CAST(SUBSTRING(name,2,1) AS INT), --Get the number before dot
CAST(RIGHT(name,LEN(name)-CHARINDEX('.',name)) AS INT) --Get the number after the dot
Perhaps, more verbal, but should do the trick
declare #source as table(num varchar(12));
insert into #source(num) values('K1.1'),('K1.10'),('K1.2'),('K3.1'),('K3.14'),('K3.5');
-- create helper table
with data as
(
select num,
cast(SUBSTRING(replace(num, 'K', ''), 1, CHARINDEX('.', num) - 2) as int) as [first],
cast(SUBSTRING(replace(num, 'K', ''), CHARINDEX('.', num), LEN(num)) as int) as [second]
from #source
)
-- Select and order accordingly
select num
from data
order by [first], [second]
sqlfiddle:
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!6/a9b06/2
The shorter solution is this one :
Select Num
from yourtable
order by cast((Parsename(Num, 1) ) as Int)
I've reviewed many other posts on here and have become pretty familiar with the Coalesce function, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do this specific task.
So, I have a Commissions table and a Categories table. I've created a gist here so you can see the exact data structure with some example data. Basically, the Commission table has a SalesRepID, LocationID, CategoryID, SurgeonID, and CommissionPercent column.
Using a Coalesce function, I've been able to get something like this by passing in the SalesRepID, LocationID, and SurgeonID:
.05 (Shirts), .05 (Shoes), .05 (Dresses), .10 (Hats), .15 (Pants)
However, I'm trying to get it to look like:
.05 (Shirts, Shoes, Dresses), .10 (Hats), .15 (Pants)
I did try it a few times with STUFF, but I never got the result that I'm looking for.
Which leads me to ask if this is even possible in MsSQL 2008 R2? If it is, any help in getting the result I'm looking for would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time & energy,
Andrew
Thank you for the gist! So much better than pulling teeth to get schema and data. :-) If you plug this in to your gist query you should see the results you're after (well, very close - see below).
DECLARE #SalesRepID int = 2,
#SurgeonID int = 1,
#LocationID int = 1;
;WITH x AS
(
SELECT CommissionPercent, Categories = STUFF((SELECT N', '
+ tCat.Category FROM #tCategories AS tCat
INNER JOIN #tCommissions AS tCom
ON tCat.CategoryID = tCom.CategoryID
WHERE tCom.CommissionPercent = com.CommissionPercent
FOR XML PATH,
TYPE).value(N'./text()[1]', N'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 2, N'')
FROM #tCommissions AS com
WHERE SalesRepID = #SalesRepID
AND SurgeonID = #SurgeonID
AND LocationID = #LocationID
),
y AS
(
SELECT s = RTRIM(CommissionPercent) + N' (' + Categories + N')'
FROM x GROUP BY CommissionPercent, Categories
)
SELECT Result = STUFF((SELECT N', ' + s FROM y
FOR XML PATH,
TYPE).value(N'./text()[1]', N'nvarchar(max)'), 1, 2, N'');
The result is slightly different than you asked for, but you could fix that by applying string formatting when pulling CommissionPercent.
Result
--------------------------------------------------------
0.05 (Shirts, Shoes, Dresses), 0.10 (Hats), 0.15 (Pants)
I bumped into similar problem before - and the only way I could resolve this (without using cursors), is by creating a CLR aggregate function. Here's an example in C# (and in VB): http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131056(v=SQL.90).aspx
I believe it just does what you need: concatenation.
Combining your example and the CLR, to achieve what you want - the SQL would look like:
SELECT
c.CommissionPercent
, dbo.MyAgg(cat.Category)
FROM #tCommissions AS c
JOIN #tCategories AS cat ON c.CategoryID = cat.CategoryID
group by c.CommissionPercent
