For some reason my query output is grouping together 2 columns into 1, and putting the 2 values in the same row like this:
PATIENT_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------
INSURANCE
-------------------------
Aimie Pepsodent
Manulife
Aka Fresh
Blue Cross
Apple Addaye
Blue Cross
But I want them to appear in two separate columns like my teacher's output:
PATIENT_NAME INSURANCE
-------------- ----------------
Apple Addaye Blue Cross
Roy Alflush No Insurance
Shane Cane No Insurance
Is there a way I can change it to this?
Right now my sql query looks like this:
select (fname||' '||lname) patient_name,
(nvl(l4_insurance_cos.company_name, 'No Insurance')) insurance
from l4_patients
left join l4_insurance_cos
on l4_patients.ins_id = l4_insurance_cos.id
order by l4_patients.lname;
This is a pure SQLPlus display issue. The size of the line is too small for the two columns to fit in it, so SQLPlus splits the results on two lines.
You need to adjust the linesize of your terminal, and/or the display width of each column - by default, it corresponds to the maximum length of the resultset column (if you concatenate two columns in the query, that's the sum of the length of the two columns, with a limit of 4000 bytes for varchars).
The actual values will depend on your terminal and table definition, but here is an example:
set linesize 140 -- allow a total of 140 characters per line
column patient_name format a80 -- 80 characters for column "patient_name"
column insurance format a60 -- 60 characters for column "insurance"
Then, you can run your query.

I am pulling data and when I pull in the text field my results for the "distinct ID" are sometimes being duplicated when there are multiple results for that ID. Is there a way to concatenate the results into a single column/row rather than having them duplicated?
It looks like there are ways in other SQL platforms but I have not been able to find something that works in HANA.
Example
Select
Distinct ID
From Table1
If I pull only Distinct ID I get the following:
ID
1
2
3
4
However when I pull the following:
Example
Select
Distinct ID,Text
From Table1
I get something like
ID
Text
1
Dog
2
Cat
2
Dog
3
Fish
4
Bird
4
Horse
I am trying to Concat the Text field when there is more than 1 row for each ID.
What I need the results to be (Having a "break" between results so that they are on separate lines would be even better but at least a "," would work):
ID
Text
1
Dog
2
Cat,Dog
3
Fish
4
Bird,Horse
I see Kiran has just referred to another valid answer in the comment, but in your example this would work.
SELECT ID, STRING_AGG(Text, ',')
FROM TABLE1
GROUP BY ID;
You can replace the ',' with other characters, maybe a '\n' for a line break
I would caution against the approach to concatenate rows in this way, unless you know your data well. There is no effective limit to the rows and length of the string that you will generate, but HANA will have a limit on string length, so consider that.
Below are the input and output details.Any database Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL should do for the answers.I am not able to derive the logic to rank data which will help me to pivot.
My source is a flat file which contains data like below.I have loaded that file into one of the tables in Oracle.
Source Input:
**Flatfile1**
**Coulmn1**
Kamesh
65
5000
123456789
Nanu
45
3000
321654789
Expected Output:
Name Age Salary Mobilenumber
Kamesh 65 5000 123456789
Nanu 45 3000 321654789
After loading into one of the tables I am applying the logic to number this data which will eventually look like below:
Column1 Datavalue
Kamesh 1
65 1
5000 1
123456789 1
Nanu 2
45 2
3000 2
321654789 2
However, I am not able to derive logic (I tried with Rank) which will give me sequence number like this without having any key field.Hope this explains situation.
Thanks!!
Oracle doesn't store the rows in order, if you do select * from table1 multiple times you could get rows in different orders according to db operations and caching
Therefore if you have a table like that with no other column it's impossible to "pivot" the data.
I strongly suggest to save data in a normalized form, if you can't consider adding a column with a row ID populated automatically (identity column in oracle 12, trigger+ sequence in previous version)
Once you have your rows in order it will be easy to organize your data
I use SAP-HANA database. I have a simple 2 column table whose columns are number, name, noodles, fish . The rows are these:
number name noodles fish
1 tom x
1 tom x
1 jack
2 jack x
I would like to group the rows by the id, and concatenate the names into a field, and thus obtain this:
number name noodles fish
1 tom x x
2 jack x
Can you please tell me how we can perform this operation in sap-hana? Thanks in advance.
Well, you did not really concatenate the names, but instead kept the same ones (if you would have concatenated the names as well, you would get something like jackjack in your result). I guess your x's indicate some sort of ABAP-style flags.
In any case, you would do this with grouping. This is a completely non-HANA thing (you can use the same basic SQL for any DB). You can group against several columns. All other columns that you want to select must be used in an aggregated expression (e.g. a SUM, MAX, COUNT, etc.).
To get the output from your question, I wrote the following code:
SELECT "ID", "NAME", MAX("FISH"), MAX("NOODLES")
FROM #TEST GROUP BY "ID", "NAME";
And got the same output as you. I used the MAX function based on the following assumption: you would want to get X if there is any X in the "concatenated" (aggregated) rows in that column. You get nothing / space if all the "concatenated" rows have space in them.
Create table temp
(
ID nvarchar(50)
)
ID contains numeric values prevailing zeros in some cases so it is defined as varchar
How to get values starts with 3555 to 3999 and 8000 to 9999.There is no specific rule that length is always 4.
Eg:
3555
35688888888888
3590909
8000
85805667
all of the values are valid and are to be fetched.
Please let me know T- SQL statement for the above scenario
You can use few expressions with LIKE. If you have an index on ID, it would use it, so it will be efficient. Something like this:
SELECT
ID
FROM
temp
WHERE
ID LIKE '3[5-9]%'
OR ID LIKE '[89]%'
LIKE '3[5-9]%' matches any string that starts with 3 and which second character is 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9. After these two characters there can be 0 or more other characters. Any number of extra characters.
LIKE '[89]%' matches any string that starts with 8 or 9 and any number characters after.
You can extract the first four chars, convert that to a number and query like this:
SELECT
[ID]
FROM temp
WHERE convert(int,LEFT([ID],4)) BETWEEN 3500 AND 3999
OR convert(int,LEFT([ID],4)) BETWEEN 8000 AND 9999
For lots of data this will be horribly slow, so if you need performance I would recommend to add an indexed int column to the table where you store the number that represents the first four digits of ID.
I have an originations data set with loan ids. I then have a corresponding dataset with performance data for each of these loans ids, which can be anywhere from 10-40 rows in the performance data set.
The start date of each of the performance loans is not the same either, although some do overlap. What I want to do is take every loan id group in the performance data set, and then create a row of a certain column value across all occurrences in the data set. It doesn't matter if they start on different dates, I just want to align the values as this is the first value for loan id x and y.
For example:
ID Date Val
3 201601 100
3 201602 102
3 201603 103
--> Result:
ID Val1 Val2 Val3
3 100 102 103
I'm having two issues. One is the differing size of performance data for each id. I can't construct a matrix with differing lengths of rows. I'm assuming I'll need to append 0's to the end of each row to meet a predefined width.
My second issue is that I'm not sure how to read through a the performance data set to group loans, extract the value column, construct the column into a row for that id, and then insert into a matrix. I know how I would do this in Python but I need to use SAS. I can construct tables in SAS, but I'm not sure how to append rows, only columns.
If someone could provide some guidance on this it'd be a great help.
Anyone who runs into a similar issue it ended up being only a few lines of code.
proc transpose data = new_data
out = new_data1;
var trans_state;
by id;
run;
The output will be
