I want to store values from a SELECT statement into a variable which is capable of holding more than one value because my SELECT statement returns multiple values of type INT. This is how my SP looks like so far.
ALTER PROCEDURE "ESG"."SP_ADD"
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #Id table(identifiers VARCHAR);
INSERT INTO #Id (identifiers) VALUES('axaa1aaa-aaaa-a5aa-aaaa-aa8aaaa9aaaa');
INSERT INTO #Id (identifiers) VALUES('bxbb1bbb-bbbb-b5bb-bbb4-bb8bbbb9bbbf');
DECLARE #tranID INT = (SELECT
DOCUMENT_SET_.DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION_ID
FROM DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION
WHERE DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION.IDENTIFIER IN (SELECT identifiers FROM #Id));
END
Variable #tranID should be a list or an array to hold the ids. Is it possible to do it SQL Server?
You can declare a variable of type table
DECLARE #tblTrans TABLE (
tranID INT
);
INSERT INTO #tblTrans
SELECT DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION.DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION_ID
FROM ESG.DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION
WHERE DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION.IDENTIFIER
IN (SELECT identifiers FROM #envelopeId);
Depending on what you want to do with the values after this, you could declare a cursor to loop through them or select straight from the variable.
You could also look into using a temporary table depending on what scope you need.
Try this, only take the firs row of example. Do u try this?
select DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION.DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION_ID,
(STUFF((SELECT '-' + convert(varchar(max),DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION.DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION_ID)
FROM ESG.DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION
FOR XML PATH ('')), 1, 2, '')) AS example
FROM ESG.DOCUMENT_SET_TRANSACTION

I have a requirement where from a string of int[] I need to insert all the values of this array into DB.
I have tried this solution and it works fine.
To achieve this I have converted the int[] to XML in C#, and in SP used this XML variable to fill a table variable and looped over this table variable to do the insert.
Is there any way to avoid the while loop and insert multiple values comma separated string into the table ?
Below is the code :
DECLARE #CatTable TABLE(RowID int not null primary key identity(1,1), ID int)
DECLARE #RowsToProcess int
DECLARE #CurrentRow int
INSERT INTO #Table
SELECT tbl.colname.value('text()[1]','int') AS Id
FROM #IdsList.nodes('/List/CIds') tbl(colname);
SET #RowsToProcess=##ROWCOUNT
SET #CurrentRow=0
WHILE #CurrentRow<#RowsToProcess --- **How to avoid this loop and do the insert ?**
BEGIN
SET #CurrentRow=#CurrentRow+1
INSERT INTO tblRealtable (id, anotherId)
SELECT ID ,#AnotherID FROM #Table
WHERE RowID=#CurrentRow
END
enD
END
Aren't you just after this?
INSERT INTO dbo.tblRealtable (id, anotherId)
SELECT tbl.colname.value('text()[1]','int') AS Id
#AnotherID
FROM #IdsList.nodes('/List/CIds') tbl(colname);
I have a list of values such as
1,2,3,4...
that will be passed into my SQL query.
I need to have these values stored in a table variable. So essentially I need something like this:
declare #t (num int)
insert into #t values (1),(2),(3),(4)...
Is it possible to do that formatting in SQL Server? (turning 1,2,3,4... into (1),(2),(3),(4)...
Note: I can not change what those values look like before they get to my SQL script; I'm stuck with that list. also it may not always be 4 values; it could 1 or more.
Edit to show what values look like: under normal circumstances, this is how it would work:
select t.pk
from a_table t
where t.pk in (#place_holder#)
#placeholder# is just a literal place holder. when some one would run the report, #placeholder# is replaced with the literal values from the filter of that report:
select t.pk
from a_table t
where t.pk in (1,2,3,4) -- or whatever the user selects
t.pk is an int
note: doing
declare #t as table (
num int
)
insert into #t values (#Placeholder#)
does not work.
Your description is a bit ridicuolus, but you might give this a try:
Whatever you mean with this
I see what your trying to say; but if I type out '#placeholder#' in the script, I'll end up with '1','2','3','4' and not '1,2,3,4'
I assume this is a string with numbers, each number between single qoutes, separated with a comma:
DECLARE #passedIn VARCHAR(100)='''1'',''2'',''3'',''4'',''5'',''6'',''7''';
SELECT #passedIn; -->: '1','2','3','4','5','6','7'
Now the variable #passedIn holds exactly what you are talking about
I'll use a dynamic SQL-Statement to insert this in a temp-table (declared table variable would not work here...)
CREATE TABLE #tmpTable(ID INT);
DECLARE #cmd VARCHAR(MAX)=
'INSERT INTO #tmpTable(ID) VALUES (' + REPLACE(SUBSTRING(#passedIn,2,LEN(#passedIn)-2),''',''','),(') + ');';
EXEC (#cmd);
SELECT * FROM #tmpTable;
GO
DROP TABLE #tmpTable;
UPDATE 1: no dynamic SQL necessary, all ad-hoc...
You can get the list of numbers as derived table in a CTE easily.
This can be used in a following statement like WHERE SomeID IN(SELECT ID FROM MyIDs) (similar to this: dynamic IN section )
WITH MyIDs(ID) AS
(
SELECT A.B.value('.','int') AS ID
FROM
(
SELECT CAST('<x>' + REPLACE(SUBSTRING(#passedIn,2,LEN(#passedIn)-2),''',''','</x><x>') + '</x>' AS XML) AS AsXml
) as tbl
CROSS APPLY tbl.AsXml.nodes('/x') AS A(B)
)
SELECT * FROM MyIDs
UPDATE 2:
And to answer your question exactly:
With this following the CTE
insert into #t(num)
SELECT ID FROM MyIDs
... you would actually get your declared table variable filled - if you need it later...
I am using below query
SELECT #local_variable=Adtid from table where Adtid can have multiple values stored into it. As I don't know what to use instead of '=' in #local_variable=Adtid. Can anyone suggest please what I should use instead of '=' so that my local varaible can have all values of Adtid
The variable can't actually hold multiple values. You can declare a table variable instead, where you can then do something like
declare #tableVariable table
(
Adtid int
);
insert into #tableVariable
select Adtid from table where Adtid ...
This puts the relevant rows inside your table variable. Now you can use the table variable to eg. create a cursor (to go row by row in the data - you can also do that on the original select if you only need to go through once) or use it in a join clause.
You can use below syntax for get the Adtid as comma separator in result
DECLARE #local_variable VARCHAR(100) =''
SELECT #local_variable += CAST(Adtid AS VARCHAR) + ',' FROM TABLE
PRINT #local_variable
and another way as per below answer.
Is there a way to input multiple values in a single parameter of a scalar-valued function in SQL Server 2008 R2 and have it filter data by that parameter using both values?
For example I would like to do the following
SET #Salesperson='BILL' OR 'MOSES'
SELECT Sum(SalesDollars)
FROM Invoices
WHERE Invoices.Salesperson = #Salesperson
I attempted to use the following as the WHERE clause, but this didnt work either.
SET #Salesperson='BILL','MOSES'
SELECT Sum(SalesDollars)
FROM Invoices
WHERE Invoices.Salesperson IN (#Salesperson)
Would it be easier if i were dealing with integers as opposed to varchar values?
Any help would be absolutely appreciated!
You need to use table-valued parameters. Look it up on technet or msdn
Best part of it that your table-valued parameters can have multiple columns.
Note however that you have to define TVP parameter as readonly. So if you want to return similar set from your function you will need to create another variable inside your function.
Example:
CREATE TYPE Names AS TABLE
( Name VARCHAR(50));
GO
/* Create a procedure to receive data for the table-valued parameter. */
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.mySP
#n Names READONLY
AS
SELECT Sum(SalesDollars)
FROM
WHERE Invoices.Salesperson in (select Name from #n)
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.myFun(#n Names READONLY) returns int
AS
SELECT Sum(SalesDollars)
FROM
WHERE Invoices.Salesperson in (select Name from #n)
GO
/* Declare a variable that references the type. */
DECLARE #names AS Names;
/* Add data to the table variable. */
INSERT INTO #names (Name)
VALUES ('BILL'),('MOSES')
-- using stored procedure with TVP
EXEC dbo.mySP #names
-- using function with TVP
select dbo.myFun(#names)
GO
This could be done this way:
SET #Salesperson='BILL,MOSES'
SELECT *
FROM YourTable
WHERE Invoices.Salesperson IN (SELECT * FROM dbo.split(#Salesperson,','))
This is how you split the values.
I would typically do this using a user defined table type: SQL Fiddle Example.
CREATE TYPE <schema>.SalespersonList AS TABLE
(
Name varchar(32)
)
You may have to grant execute permissions on the type:
GRANT EXECUTE ON TYPE::<schema>.SalespersonList TO <user>
Then you can create a function to use it:
CREATE FUNCTION <schema>.fnGetTotalSales
(
#nameList <schema>.SalespersonList READONLY
)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #ret INT
SELECT #ret = Sum(SalesDollars)
FROM Invoices i
INNER JOIN #nameList nl ON nl.Name = i.Salesperson
RETURN #ret
END
Then you would just insert your list into the type and call the function:
DECLARE #salesPersonList <schema>.SalespersonList
INSERT INTO #salesPersonList (Name)
SELECT 'Bill'
UNION
SELECT 'Moses'
SELECT <schema>.fnGetTotalSales(#salesPersonList)
I am trying to match data from an external source to an in house source. For example one table would have a field with a value of "black blue" and another table would have a field with a value of "blue black". I am trying to figure out how to check if all individual words in the first table are contained in a record the 2nd table in any order. It's not always two words that need to be compared it could be 3 or 4 as well. I know I could use a cursor and build dynamic sql substituting the space with the AND keywod and using the contains function but I'm hoping not to have to do that.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Try doing something like this: Split the data from the first table on the space into a temporary table variable. Then use CHARINDEX to determine if each word is contained in the second table's record. Then just do this for each word in the first record and if the count is the same as the successful checks then you know every word from the first record is used in the second.
Edit: Use a Split function such as:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Split (#sep char(1), #s varchar(512))
RETURNS table
AS
RETURN (
WITH Pieces(pn, start, stop) AS (
SELECT 1, 1, CHARINDEX(#sep, #s)
UNION ALL
SELECT pn + 1, stop + 1, CHARINDEX(#sep, #s, stop + 1)
FROM Pieces
WHERE stop > 0
)
SELECT pn,
SUBSTRING(#s, start, CASE WHEN stop > 0 THEN stop-start ELSE 512 END) AS s
FROM Pieces
)
Here's another method you could try, you could sample some simple attributes of your strings such as, length, number of spaces, etc.; then you could use a cross-join to create all of the possible string match combinations.
Then within your where-clause you can sort by matches, the final piece of which in this example is a check using the patindex() function to see if the sampled piece of the first string is in the second string.
-- begin sample table variable set up
declare #s table(
id int identity(1,1)
,string varchar(255)
,numSpace int
,numWord int
,lenString int
,firstPatt varchar(255)
);
declare #t table(
id int identity(1,1)
,string varchar(255)
,numSpace int
,numWord int
,lenString int
);
insert into #t(string)
values ('my name');
insert into #t(string)
values ('your name');
insert into #t(string)

insert into #t(string)
values ('hello my name is');
insert into #s(string)
values ('name my');
insert into #s(string)
values ('name your');
insert into #s(string)
values ('jump and run');
insert into #s(string)
values ('my name is hello');
update #s
set numSpace = len(string)-len(replace(string,' ',''));
update #s
set numWord = len(string)-len(replace(string,' ',''))+1;
update #s
set lenString = len(string);
update #s
set firstPatt = rtrim(substring(string,1,charindex(' ',string,0)));
update #t
set numSpace = len(string)-len(replace(string,' ',''));
update #t
set numWord = len(string)-len(replace(string,' ',''))+1;
update #t
set lenString = len(string);
-- end sample table variable set up
-- select all combinations of strings using a cross join
-- and sort the entries in your where clause
-- the pattern index checks to see if the sampled string
-- from the first table variable is in the second table variable
select *
from
#s s cross join #t t
where
s.numSpace = t.numspace
and s.numWord = t.numWord
and s.lenString = t.lenString
and patindex('%'+s.firstPatt+'%',t.string)>0;
