I am able to get the values of loanids which are rows of integers into a comma delimited list. However I am unable to convert this list to be used for an In Clause
Declare #LoanNums AS NVARCHAR(Max) = ''
select
DISTINCT
#LoanNums =
stuff((
select ',' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(max), u.LoanId)
from #tmpLoan u
where u.LoanId = u.LoanId
order by u.LoanId
for xml path('')
),1,1,'')
from #tmpLoan
This now outputs 132254986,132255002,132255018,249736374,249892143 which looks fine however when I put this variable into an IN clause
DECLARE #SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX) = ''
SELECT #SQL = 'Select * from myOtherTable Where LoanId in (''' + #LoanNums + ''')'
if outputs this SQL
Select * from myOtherTable WHERE LoanId in
('132254986,132255002,132255018,249736374,249892143')
and I get the error
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value
'132254986,132255002,132255018,249736374,249892143' to data type int
How can I create a proper formatted comma delimited list to be used correctly in an IN Clause?
isn't Select * from myOtherTable WHERE LoanId in
('132254986,132255002,132255018,249736374,249892143') needed to be
Select * from myOtherTable WHERE LoanId in
('132254986','132255002','132255018','249736374','249892143');

I have a table which has a column in which I am storing a comma separated text with single quotes for each of the comma separated values. These values are employee IDs. This is how it looks
Now, I have a SQL query wherein I need to put the value from this column into a SQL IN operator. Something like this:
select *
from EMPLOYEE_MASTER
where EMPLOYEEID IN (select CM_CONFIG_VALUE
from ADL_CONFIG_MAST_T
where CM_CONFIG_KEY like 'ATT_BIOMETRIC_OU_ID'
)
But this, does not work, the query when executed returns 0 rows whereas if I execute the query normally like below, it works.
select *
from EMPLOYEE_MASTER
where EMPLOYEEID IN('9F3DD4B791554DDE','C9B90D62851D43AB','828CB9E6204B4DDC')
Please suggest what I should do here. I have tried using substring to remove the first and the last character as well assuming that single quotes might be the issue, but that does not work either.
select * from EMPLOYEE_MASTER where EMPLOYEEID IN(select EMPLOYEEID from ADL_CONFIG_MAST_T where CM_CONFIG_KEY like 'ATT_BIOMETRIC_OU_ID')
column should be same in where COLUMNNAME IN (select COLUMNNMAE from tablename)
You can create a temp varible and then use exec command to get the desired result.
declare #temp varchar(200)
select #temp=CM_CONFIG_VALUE
from ADL_CONFIG_MAST_T
where CM_CONFIG_KEY like 'ATT_BIOMETRIC_OU_ID'
exec('select *
from EMPLOYEE_MASTER
where EMPLOYEEID IN (' + #temp + ')')
Try This:
DECLARE #ID VARCHAR(500);
DECLARE #Number VARCHAR(500);
DECLARE #comma CHAR;
SET #comma = ','
SET #ID = (select CM_CONFIG_VALUE
from ADL_CONFIG_MAST_T
where CM_CONFIG_KEY like %ATT_BIOMETRIC_OU_ID% + #comma);
Create table #temp (EMPLOYEEID varchar(500))
WHILE CHARINDEX(#comma, #ID) > 0
BEGIN
SET #Number = SUBSTRING(#ID, 0, CHARINDEX(#comma, #ID))
SET #ID = SUBSTRING(#ID, CHARINDEX(#comma, #ID) + 1, LEN(#ID))
Insert into #temp
select #Number
END
select *
from EMPLOYEE_MASTER
where EMPLOYEEID IN(select EMPLOYEEID from #temp)
The reason you are not getting it in your query is because your inner query returns only one row. So your query searches for '9F3DD4B791554DDE','C9B90D62851D43AB','828CB9E6204B4DDC' as as single record.
If your compatibility level is greater than or equal to 130 you can use STRING_SPLIT() function. Then your query would be
SELECT *
FROM EMPLOYEE_MASTER
WHERE EMPLOYEEID IN
(SELECT value AS empid
FROM ADL_CONFIG_MAST_T CROSS APPLY string_split(CM_CONFIG_VALUE, ',' )
WHERE CM_CONFIG_KEY LIKE 'ATT_BIOMETRIC_OU_ID' )
What this actually does is, it splits the CM_CONFIG_VALUE with ',' and returns them as rows. This is the value column I have referred. Then you use them with the IN clause.
Hope this helps!
Direct IN condition will not work here. You have split your string before searching. You can do that with XML options in SQL SERVER 2014
SELECT *
FROM EMP
WHERE EMPID IN (
SELECT a.c.value('.', 'VARCHAR(1000)')
FROM (
SELECT x = CAST('<a>' +
REPLACE(REPLACE(CM_CONFIG_VALUE , ',', '</a><a>'),'''','') + '</a>' AS XML )
FROM ADL_CONFIG_MAST_T
-- WHERE <your_condition>
) m
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('/a') a(c))
CHECK DEMO HERE
For the version 2016 and above you can use STRING_SPLIT with Compatibility level 130
I generate comma seperated string and add single quite to each numbers
Here is how i do it
DECLARE #IDs NVARCHAR(max)
SELECT #IDs = COALESCE(#IDs +',', '') + ''''
+ Cast([mynos] AS NVARCHAR(255)) + ''''
FROM mytable
WHERE id = 22
If i print variable #IDs then i get below output
'78888','3333','1222'
When i use same variable in this query then query doesnt return any value
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE ids IN ( #IDs )
How to fix this?
It doesn't work as your query is effectively doing this:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE
WHERE Ids IN ('''78888'',''3333',''1222''');
Which would also be equivalent to:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE
WHERE Ids = '''78888'',''3333',''1222''';
If you want to do the query as you have done, you'll need to split your delomited data out again. As you're using SQL Server 2012, you can't make use of STRING_SPLIT, so you'll need to a different one; such as Jeff Moden's DelimitedSplit8K. Then you can do:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE
WHERE IDs IN (SELECT items
FROM dbo.DelimitedSplit8K (#IDs,','));
However, why are you not simply doing...
SELECT *
FROM TABLE T
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM myTable mT
WHERE mT.Id = 22
AND mT.myNos = T.Ids);
You can use dynamic query #id is string variable not multi-value argument
DECLARE #IDs nVARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT #IDs = COALESCE(#IDs +',' ,'') + '''' + CAST([myNos] AS nVARCHAR(255)) + ''''
FROM myTable WHERE Id = 22
DECLARE #query nVARCHAR(MAX)
SET #query = "Select * from table1 where Ids in ("+#IDs+")"
EXECUTE sp_executesql #query
I tried below and it worked
select * from table1 where id in (select mynos from mytable where id = 22)
Thanks to #Larnu for giving me idea
As the title states, I need help in converting a single row of data E.g,
col1 col2 col3 <-- This are column names
value1 value2 value3
To something like
dataResult <-- this is the column name from running the procedure or call
value1,value2,value3
The requirements are that this call ( or rather procedure) needs to be able to accept the results of sql queries of any column length and is able to convert that row to a comma delimited string format. Been stuck at this for weeks any help would be greatly appreciated...
EDIT*
Assume the unique key is the first column. Also assume that only 1 row will be returned with each query. Multiple rows will never occur.
The idea is to convert that row to a comma separated string without having to select the column names manually (in a sense automatically convert the query results)
You might try it like this:
A declared table variable to mock-up as test table. Be aware of the NULL value in col2!
DECLARE #tbl TABLE(col1 VARCHAR(100),col2 VARCHAR(100),col3 VARCHAR(100));
INSERT INTO #tbl VALUES('test1',NULL,'test3');
--This is the query:
SELECT
STUFF(
(
SELECT ',' + elmt.value('.','nvarchar(max)')
FROM
(
SELECT
(
/*YOUR QUERY HERE*/
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM #tbl
/*--------------------*/
FOR XML AUTO ,ELEMENTS XSINIL,TYPE
)
) AS A(t)
CROSS APPLY t.nodes('/*/*') AS B(elmt)
FOR XML PATH('')
),1,1,'')
FOR XML AUTO will return each row as XML with all the values within attributes. But this would omit NULL values. Your returned string would not inlcude the full count of values in this case. Stating ELEMENT XSINIL forces the engine to include NULL values into the XML. This CROSS APPLY t.nodes('/*/*') will return all the elements as derived table and the rest is re-conactenation.
See the double comma in the middle! This is the NULL value of col2
test1,,test3
ATTENTION: You must be aware, that the whole approach will break, if there is a comma part of a (string) column...
Hint
Better was a solution with XML or JSON. Comma separated values are outdated...
Applay the next Approach:-
Use For Xml to sperate comma,
Get Columns Names Via using INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS.
According to your need, select TOP (1) for getting First
Row.
Demo:-
Create database MyTestDB
go
Use MyTestDB
go
Create table Table1 ( col1 varchar(10), col2 varchar(10),col3 varchar(10))
go
insert into Table1 values ('Value1','Value2','Value3')
insert into Table1 values ('Value11','Value12','Value13')
insert into Table1 values ('Value21','Value22','Value23')
go
Declare #Values nVarchar(400),
#TableName nvarchar (100),
#Query nvarchar(max)
Set #TableName = 'Table1'
Select #Values = Stuff(
(
Select '+'','' + ' + C.COLUMN_NAME
From INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS As C
Where C.TABLE_SCHEMA = T.TABLE_SCHEMA
And C.TABLE_NAME = T.TABLE_NAME
Order By C.ORDINAL_POSITION
For Xml Path('')
), 1, 2, '')
From INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES As T
where TABLE_NAME = #TableName
select #Values = right(#Values,len(#Values)-4)
select #Query = 'select top(1)' + #Values + ' from ' + #TableName
exec sp_executeSQL #Query
Result:-
I need to execute the following:
SELECT * FROM [MY_TVF](9186)
FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS
And replace all NULL values with an empty string '' to include them in the XML. I know I can spit out the elements with an xsi:nil="true" attribute by setting ELEMENTS XSINIL, but I don't want that.
I found this question: Convert NULL to Empty String SQL Server, where the answer says I can use ISNULL() around my query. I tried it like so:
ISNULL((SELECT * FROM [MY_TVF](9186)),'')
FOR XML AUTO,ELEMENTS
But I can't get it to work. I get the following error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near ','.
What can I do to simply replace all NULL values with an empty string so they are included in the XML?
Edit
There is no way to replace the * by column names. There is a reason we use a TVF, there are about 40 columns and they might change over time. My query is just to select everything and return it as XML.
I have deleted my previous answer and here is the latest one:
Declare #ColName as Varchar(max)
SEt #ColName=''
SELECT #ColName= COALESCE( #ColName + ' ISNULL(' +c.name + ','''') ','', '') +
c.name + ', '
FROM sysobjects o
JOIN syscolumns c ON o.id = c.id
WHERE o.xtype = 'U'
AND (o.name ='tbName')
SEt #ColName= ( 'Select ' + SUBSTRING(#ColName,0,LEN(#ColName)-1) + ' FROM tbName')
print #colname
EXEC(#ColName)
Get out of the habit of SELECT *
See if this works.
SELECT Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5
FROM
(
SELECT
ISNULL(Col1,'') Col1,
ISNULL(Col2,'') Col2,
ISNULL(Col3,'') Col3,
ISNULL(Col4,'') Col4,
ISNULL(Col5,'') Col5
FROM [MY_TVF](9186)
) T
FOR XML AUTO,ELEMENTS
I have a question
I tried to google it but looks like they don't like *
I'm using SQL Server 2008.
I have the following database table:
P_Id ProductName UnitPrice UnitsInStock UnitsOnOrder
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Jarlsberg 10.45 16 15
2 Mascarpone Null 23 NULL
3 Gorgonzola 15.67 9 20
If I need to replace the null with a string I know I do :
SELECT ISNULL(UnitsOnOrder,'No Data') FROM tbl
Questions
How can I use ISNULL() with multi column names ?
is it possible to use it with *
Like
SELECT ISNULL(* , 'NO data') FROM tbl
I think this will be tricky because of the datatype, you can't pass string to INT datatype so how can I fix this too
Update
Okay if i use ISNULL() with a datatype of int it will return 0
which will be a value to me , how can i pass empty string instead ?
You can use ISNULL multiple times in the same SQL statement for different columns, but you must write it separately for each column:
SELECT
ISNULL(ProductName, 'No Data') AS ProductName,
ISNULL(CAST(UnitPrice AS NVARCHAR), 'No Data') AS UnitPrice,
ISNULL(CAST(UnitsInStock AS NVARCHAR), 'No Data') AS UnitsInStock,
ISNULL(CAST(UnitsOnOrder AS NVARCHAR), 'No Data') AS UnitsOnOrder
FROM tbl
If you are building a dynamic SQL query, you could theoretically gather a list of columns in the table and generate a query with ISNULL on each one. For example:
DECLARE #SQL nvarchar(max)
SET #SQL = 'SELECT '
SELECT #SQL = #SQL + 'ISNULL(CAST([' + sc.name + '] AS NVARCHAR), ''No Data'') AS [' + sc.name + '],'
FROM sys.objects so
INNER JOIN sys.columns sc ON sc.object_id = so.object_id
WHERE so.name = 'tbl'
-- Remove the trailing comma
SELECT #SQL = LEFT(#SQL, LEN(#SQL) - 1) + ' FROM tbl'
EXEC sp_sqlexec #SQL
This code has problems when converting some column types like timestamps to an nvarchar, but it illustrates the technique.
Note that if you had another column that should be returned if a value is null, you could use the COALESCE expression like this:
SELECT COALESCE(ProductName, P_Id) AS Product...
Try this...
ISNULL (COALESCE (column1, column2), 'No Data')
You would need to include all column names though, you can't use *
COALESCE returns the first non-null value in its argument list so if they are all null it will return null
