I have a query that I have been working on for a little bit, and I can kind of understand why it's in error, however I cannot seem to figure out how to make everything function.
My setup looks like this.
I have a database table that contains the a list of sites
table name: websites
column name within websites:
domain_name
------------------
site1234.mydomain.com
site1235.mydomain.com
site1256.mydomain.com
site1257.mydomain.com
site1258.mydomain.com
What I am looking to do is to change everything after the subdomain section so ie: .mydomain.com -> .mynewdomain.com
I have the query to get the first subdomains just fine.
SELECT split_part(domain_name, '.', 1) AS site_name FROM websites;
So I understand that this needs to be in a subselect, but I am not sure what I am missing. My select/subselect query looks like this.
UPDATE websites SET domain_name = site_name || '.mynewdomain.com' FROM (SELECT split_part(domain_name, '.', 1) FROM websites) AS site_name WHERE domain_name LIKE '%.mydomain.com';
I understand why it is in error because my first query returns more than one row, so it sees the data mismatch, I know I need to some how loop through each result in the subselect and use that value in the initial select, but I don't know what syntax I would need to make this function.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
-H
UPDATE websites
SET domain_name = t.site_name || '.mynewdomain.com' FROM
(
SELECT split_part(domain_name, '.', 1) AS site_name
FROM websites
) t
WHERE domain_name LIKE '%.mydomain.com';

I have a requirement to pull data in a specific format and I'm struggling slightly with the ROWTOCOL function and was hoping a fresh pair of eyes might be able to help.
I'm using 10g Oracle DB (10.2) so LISTAGG which appears to do what I need to achieve is not an option.
I need to aggregate a number of usernames into a string delimited with a '$' but I also need to concatenate another column to to build up email addresses.
select
rowtocol('select username_id from username where user_id = '||s.user_id|| 'order by USERNAME_ID asc','#'||d.domain_name||'$')
from username s, domain d
where s.user_id = d.user_id
(I've simplified the query specific to just this function as the actual query is quite large and all works except for this particular function.)
in the DOMAIN Table I have a number of domains such as 'hotmail.com','gmail.com' etc
I need to concatenate the username, an '#' symbol followed by the domain and all delimited with a '$'
such as ......
joe.bloggs#gmail.com$joeblogs#gmail.com$joe_bloggs#gmail.com
I've battled with this and I've got close but in reverse?!.....
gmail.com$joe.bloggs#gmail.com$joeblogs#gmail.com$joe_bloggs
I've also noticed that if I play around with the delimiter (,'#'||d.domain_name||'$') it has a tendency to drop off the first character as can be seen above the preceding '#' has been dropped from the first email address.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to get this working?
Many Thanks in advance!
Assuming you're using the rowtocol function from OTN, and have tables something like:
create table username (user_id number, username_id varchar2(20));
create table domain (user_id number, domain_name varchar2(20));
insert into username values (1, 'joe.bloggs');
insert into username values (1, 'joebloggs');
insert into username values (1, 'joe_bloggs');
insert into domain values (1, 'gmail.com');
Then your original query gets three rows back:
gmail.com$joe.bloggs
gmail.com$joe_bloggs#gmail.com$joebloggs
gmail.com$joe_bloggs#gmail.com$joebloggs
You're passing the data from each of your user IDs to a separate call to rowtocol, which isn't really what you want. You can get the result I think you're after by reversing it; pass the main query that joins the two tables as the select argument to the function, and have that passed query do the username/domain concatenation - that is a separate step to the string aggregation:
select
rowtocol('select s.username_id || ''#'' || d.domain_name from username s join domain d on d.user_id = s.user_id', '$')
from dual;
which gets a single result:
joe.bloggs#gmail.com$joe_bloggs#gmail.com$joebloggs#gmail.com
Whether that fits into your larger query, which you haven't shown, is a separate question. You might need to correlate it with the rest of your query.
There are other ways to string aggregation in Oracle, but this function is one way, and you already have it installed. I'd look at alternatives though, such as ThomasG's answer, which make it a bit clearer what's going on I think.
As Alex told you in comments, this ROWTOCOL isn't a standard function so if you don't show its code, there's nothing we can do to fix it.
However you can accomplish what you want in Oracle 10 using the XMLAGG built-in function.
try this :
SELECT
rtrim (xmlagg (xmlelement (e, s.user_id || '#' || d.domain_name || '$')).extract ('//text()'), '$') whatever
FROM username s
INNER JOIN domain d ON s.user_id = d.user_id
I'm trying to form a SQL query, using SQL Server 2014 without creating a function. I do not have permissions on the database to create functions so I have to do it with a query only.
I have a column named Test with the example value of:
Accounting -> Add Missing functionality in Payable -> Saving a blank Missing row
I want my query to return the information (of varying length) between the two arrows (->). I have tried the right, left, substring, charindex and patindex functions and various combinations of each.
Basically the query needs to be SUBSTRING(Test, CHARINDEX(' -> ', TEST) +3, <some length here>)
The length is the part I'm having a hard time figuring out. I need the full length minus the first part before and including the first -> which evaluates to:
Add Missing functionality in Payable -> Saving a blank Missing row
From that result, I need to remove everything after and including the ->, which would then leave me with:
Add Missing functionality in Payable
At the end of the day, I want to split this one column up into 3 like so:
Domain | Feature | Test
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accounting | Add Missing functionality in Payable | Saving a blank Missing row
Can anyone show me how to do this query, without having to write a function? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I have been working on this one portion of the query for the better part of 4 hours now. Thank you in advance for your help. Have a great day!!
I tried the following query and it is woking fine for me:
DECLARE #X as varchar(1000)
SET #X = 'Accounting -> Add Missing functionality in Payable -> Saving a blank Missing row'
SELECT SUBSTRING(#X,1,CHARINDEX('->',#X) - 1) AS Domain,
SUBSTRING(#X,CHARINDEX('->',#X) + 2,LEN(SUBSTRING(#X,CHARINDEX('->',#X) + 2,LEN(#X))) - LEN(SUBSTRING(#X,LEN(#X) - CHARINDEX('>-',REVERSE(#X)) ,LEN(#X)))) AS Feature,
SUBSTRING(#X,LEN(#X) - CHARINDEX('>-',REVERSE(#X)) + 2 ,LEN(#X)) AS Test
You have to use this query:
SELECT SUBSTRING([Test],1,CHARINDEX('->',[Test]) - 1) AS Domain,
SUBSTRING([Test],CHARINDEX('->',[Test]) + 2,LEN(SUBSTRING([Test],CHARINDEX('->',[Test]) + 2,LEN([Test]))) - LEN(SUBSTRING([Test],LEN([Test]) - CHARINDEX('>-',REVERSE([Test])) ,LEN([Test])))) AS Feature,
SUBSTRING([Test],LEN([Test]) - CHARINDEX('>-',REVERSE([Test])) + 2 ,LEN([Test])) AS Test

I know there are a few about similar topics on here but I can't find one related to my issue, this is it:
I have a table with an ID Column and a QRCode column. each time an item is added the primary key auto increments. The QRCode will scan in to be like the following:
"http://somewebsite.com/12345/987654321"
i want to be able to remove the "http://somewebsite.com/" from the string, I know how to do this in C# however I am unsure of how to do this in Sql Server. any guidance would be great, thanks
Regular formats are like the following, and used in the example below.
"http://somewebsite.com/12345/456564654"
"http://somewebsite.com/12345/989886765"
"http://somewebsite.com/12346/987654321"
the query returns the following results:
SELECT
REPLACE
(
REPLACE(QRCode, 'http://somewebsite.com/', '')
,'/', ' '
) AS QRCode
FROM
QRTable
WHERE
QRCode LIKE '%http://somewebsite.com/%'
"12345 456564654"
"12345 989886765"
"12346 987654321"
Now i need to update the table with those new results however as there's 3 results, i get the error message "Subquery returned more than 1 value". is there a way to replace the selected values in the table with the ones that exist based on the primary key field?
**Removed previous example
A more complete answer based on your updated question. This removes the first portion of the URL as well as the trailing / so that you get your desired output.
DECLARE #Variable VARCHAR(50)
SET #Variable = 'http://somewebsite.com/12345/456564654'
SET #Variable =
REPLACE
(
REPLACE(#Variable, 'http://somewebsite.com/', '')
,'/', ' '
)
PRINT #Variable
Output = 12345 456564654
Looking at your SQL statement you want this:
SELECT
REPLACE
(
REPLACE(QRCode, 'http://somewebsite.com/', '')
,'/', ' '
) AS QRCode
FROM
QRTable
WHERE
QRCode LIKE '%http://somewebsite.com/%'
I have an xml column called OrderXML in an Orders table...
there is an XML XPath like this in the table...
/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail
There InternalOrderDetails contains many InternalOrderDetail nodes like this...
<InternalOrderDetails>
<InternalOrderDetail>
<Item_Number>FBL11REFBK</Item_Number>
<CountOfNumber>10</CountOfNumber>
<PriceLevel>FREE</PriceLevel>
</InternalOrderDetail>
<InternalOrderDetail>
<Item_Number>FCL13COTRGUID</Item_Number>
<CountOfNumber>2</CountOfNumber>
<PriceLevel>NONFREE</PriceLevel>
</InternalOrderDetail>
</InternalOrderDetails>
My end goal is to modify the XML in the OrderXML column IF the Item_Number of the node contains COTRGUID (like '%COTRGUID') AND the PriceLevel=NONFREE. If that condition is met I want to change the PriceLevel column to equal FREE.
I am having trouble with both creating the xpath expression that finds the correct nodes (using OrderXML.value or OrderXML.exist functions) and updating the XML using the OrderXML.modify function).
I have tried the following for the where clause:
WHERE OrderXML.value('(/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/Item_Number/node())[1]','nvarchar(64)') like '%13COTRGUID'
That does work, but it seems to me that I need to ALSO include my second condition (PriceLevel=NONFREE) in the same where clause and I cannot figure out how to do it. Perhaps I can put in an AND for the second condition like this...
AND OrderXML.value('(/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel/node())[1]','nvarchar(64)') = 'NONFREE'
but I am afraid it will end up operating like an OR since it is an XML query.
Once I get the WHERE clause right I will update the column using a SET like this:
UPDATE Orders SET orderXml.modify('replace value of (/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel[1]/text())[1] with "NONFREE"')
However, I ran this statement on some test data and none of the XML columns where updated (even though it said zz rows effected).
I have been at this for several hours to no avail. Help is appreciated. Thanks.
if you don't have more than one node with your condition in each row of Orders table, you can use this:
update orders set
data.modify('
replace value of
(
/Order/InternalInformation/InternalOrderBreakout/
InternalOrderHeader/InternalOrderDetails/
InternalOrderDetail[
Item_Number[contains(., "COTRGUID")] and
PriceLevel="NONFREE"
]/PriceLevel/text()
)[1]
with "FREE"
');
sql fiddle demo
If you could have more than one node in one row, there're a several possible solutions, none of each is really elegant, sadly.
You can reconstruct all xmls in table - sql fiddle demo
or you can do your updates in the loop - sql fiddle demo
This may get you off the hump.
Replace #HolderTable with the name of your table.
SELECT T2.myAlias.query('./../PriceLevel[1]').value('.' , 'varchar(64)') as MyXmlFragmentValue
FROM #HolderTable
CROSS APPLY OrderXML.nodes('/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/Item_Number') as T2(myAlias)
SELECT T2.myAlias.query('.') as MyXmlFragment
FROM #HolderTable
CROSS APPLY OrderXML.nodes('/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/Item_Number') as T2(myAlias)
EDIT:
UPDATE
#HolderTable
SET
OrderXML.modify('replace value of (/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel/text())[1] with "MyNewValue"')
WHERE
OrderXML.value('(/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel)[1]', 'varchar(64)') = 'FREE'
print ##ROWCOUNT
Your issue is the [1] in the above.
Why did I put it there?
Here is a sentence from the URL listed below.
Note that the target being updated must be, at most, one node that is explicitly specified in the path expression by adding a "[1]" at the end of the expression.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190675.aspx
EDIT.
I think I've discovered the the root of your frustration. (No fix, just the problem).
Note below, the second query works.
So I think the [1] is some cases is saying "only ~~search~~ the first node".....and not (as you and I were hoping)...... "use the first node..after you find a match".
UPDATE
#HolderTable
SET
OrderXML.modify('replace value of (/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel/text())[1] with "MyNewValue001"')
WHERE
OrderXML.value('(/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel[text() = "NONFREE"])[1]', 'varchar(64)') = 'NONFREE'
/* and OrderXML.value('(/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/Item_Number)[1]', 'varchar(64)') like '%COTRGUID' */
UPDATE
#HolderTable
SET
OrderXML.modify('replace value of (/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel/text())[1] with "MyNewValue002"')
WHERE
OrderXML.value('(/InternalOrderDetails/InternalOrderDetail/PriceLevel[text() = "FREE"])[1]', 'varchar(64)') = 'FREE'
Try this :
;with InternalOrderDetail as (SELECT id,
Tbl.Col.value('Item_Number[1]', 'varchar(40)') Item_Number,
Tbl.Col.value('CountOfNumber[1]', 'int') CountOfNumber,
case
when Tbl.Col.value('Item_Number[1]', 'varchar(40)') like '%COTRGUID'
and Tbl.Col.value('PriceLevel[1]', 'varchar(40)')='NONFREE'
then 'FREE'
else
Tbl.Col.value('PriceLevel[1]', 'varchar(40)')
end
PriceLevel
FROM (select id ,orderxml from demo)
as a cross apply orderxml.nodes('//InternalOrderDetail')
as
tbl(col) ) ,
cte_data as(SELECT
ID,
'<InternalOrderDetails>'+(SELECT ITEM_NUMBER,COUNTOFNUMBER,PRICELEVEL
FROM InternalOrderDetail
where ID=Results.ID
FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS)+'</InternalOrderDetails>' as XML_data
FROM InternalOrderDetail Results
GROUP BY ID)
update demo set orderxml=cast(xml_data as xml)
from demo
inner join cte_data on demo.id=cte_data.id
where cast(orderxml as varchar(2000))!=xml_data;
select * from demo;
SQL Fiddle
I have handled following cases :
1. As required both where clause in question.
2. It will update all <Item_Number> like '%COTRGUID' and <PriceLevel>= NONFREE in one
node, not just the first one.
It may require minor changes for your data and tables.
Im learning DB2 and I had a problem while testing some options in my db.
I have 2 tables like this:
Country
=========
IdCountry -- PK
Name
State
=========
IdState -- PK
IdCountry -- FK to Country.IdCountry
Name
Code
And I am using queries like:
SELECT IdState, Name
FROM Tables.State
WHERE IdCountry = ?
Where ? is any working IdCountry, and everything worked fine.
Then I used set integrity in my db2 control center using the default info in the options and the process was successful but now my query isn't giving me any results.
I tried using :
SELECT *
FROM Tables.State
Where IdCountry = ?
and it gives me back results.
While making tests to the table I try adding new States and they appear in the query using column names instead of *, but old records still missing.
I have no clue about what's happening, does anyone have an idea?.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor English.
I'm assuming here that you're on Linux/Unix/Windows DB2, since z/OS doesn't have a SET INTEGRITY command, and I couldn't find anything about it with a quick search on the iSeries Info Center.
It's possible that your table is still in "set integrity pending" state (previously known as CHECK PENDING). You could test this theory by checking SYSCAT.TABLES using this query:
SELECT TRIM(TABSCHEMA) || '.' || TRIM(TABNAME) AS tbl,
CASE STATUS
WHEN 'C' THEN 'Integrity Check Pending'
WHEN 'N' THEN 'Normal'
WHEN 'X' THEN 'Inoperative'
END As TblStatus
FROM SYSCAT.TABLES
WHERE TABSCHEMA NOT LIKE 'SYS%'
If your table shows up, you will need to use the SET INTEGRITY command to bring your table into checked status:
SET INTEGRITY FOR Tables.State IMMEDIATE CHECKED
