Different SQL Select query - sql

I need to write SQL query in order to extract some data.
i have this data in my table:
ID Store Value
1 9921 NOK
2 9921 NOK1
3 9921 OK3
what i need is to get data from select query like this form:
9921 NOK,NOK1,OK3
Any help please ?

You can use STUFF:
SELECT DISTINCT Store,
STUFF((SELECT ',' + Value
FROM Your_Table
WHERE Store = 9921
FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '')
FROM Your_Table

Try to accomplish your excepted output by using COALESCE;
Create a sample table for testing purpose
CREATE TABLE SampleData (id INT ,store INT ,value NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO SampleData VALUES (1 ,9921 ,'NOK')
INSERT INTO SampleData VALUES (2 ,9921 ,'NOK1')
INSERT INTO SampleData VALUES (3 ,9921 ,'NOK2')
Create a Scalar-Valued Function
Alter FUNCTION fun_GetCombinedData
(
#store int
)
RETURNS nvarchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
-- Declare the return variable here
DECLARE #CombineValue nvarchar(max)
SELECT #CombineValue = COALESCE(#CombineValue + ', ', '') + value
FROM SampleData where store=#store
RETURN #CombineValue
END
GO
Final Query,
SELECT store
,dbo.fun_GetCombinedData(store) AS value
FROM SampleData
GROUP BY store
Expected Output:
store | value
------------------------
9921 | NOK,NOK1,NOK2
This is one of the way to simplify your select query.

Using T-SQL we can do it this way:
declare #store int = 9921, #values varchar(max) = ''
select #values = #values
+ case
when #values = '' then ''
else ','
end + value
from table_name
where store = #store
order by id
select #store, #values

Go through this below example
Demo: [SQLFiddle]
The SQL I used is as below,
SELECT
store,
STUFF(
(SELECT DISTINCT ',' + value
FROM SampleData
WHERE store = a.store
FOR XML PATH (''))
, 1, 1, '') AS CombineValues
FROM SampleData AS a
GROUP BY store
you will see your expected result as "CombineValues"
store CombineValues
9921 NOK,NOK1,NOK2

Transform a SELECT * query to string

I have a query that returns a row
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE id = 1;
I want to save the result into a nvarchar sql variable. I have seen similar questions Convert SQL Server result set into string but they only use select with the name of the columns, never with *.
select *
from table
where id = 1
for xml path ('')
However the answer is <column1>value1</column1> <column2>value2</column2> and I just want it to be value1, value2
Is there a way to achieve this? thank you!
If open to a helper function.
This will convert virtually any row, table or query to a string (delimited or not).
In the following examples I selected a PIPE delimiter with a CRLF line terminator.
Please note the usage and placement of _RN when a line terminator is required. Also note the ,ELEMENTS XSINIL ... this will included null values as empty string. If you want to exclude null values, simply omit the ,ELEMENTS XSINIL
Example as Entire Table or dbFiddle
Declare #YourTable Table (id int,[col_1] varchar(50),[col_2] varchar(50),[col_3] varchar(50),[col_n] varchar(50)) Insert Into #YourTable Values
(1,'data1','data2','data3','data4')
,(2,'data5','data6','data7','data8')
-- Entire Table
Declare #XML xml = (Select *,_RN=Row_Number() over (Order By (Select null)) From #YourTable for XML RAW,ELEMENTS XSINIL )
Select [dbo].[svf-str-Data-To-Delimited]('|',char(13)+char(10),#XML)
Returns
1|data1|data2|data3|data4
2|data5|data6|data7|data8
Example as Row Based
Select A.ID
,AsAString = [dbo].[svf-str-Data-To-Delimited]('|',char(13)+char(10),B.XMLData)
From #YourTable A
Cross Apply ( values ( (select a.* for xml RAW,ELEMENTS XSINIL )) )B(XMLData)
Returns
ID AsAString
1 1|data1|data2|data3|data4
2 2|data5|data6|data7|data8
The Function if Interested
CREATE Function [dbo].[svf-str-Data-To-Delimited] (#Delim varchar(50),#EOL varchar(50),#XML xml)
Returns varchar(max)
Begin
Return(
Select convert(nvarchar(max),(
Select case when Item='_RN' then ''
else case when nullif(lead(Item,1) over (Order by Seq),'_RN') is not null
then concat(Value,#Delim)
else concat(Value,#EOL)
end
end
From (
Select Seq = row_number() over(order by (select null))
,Item = xAttr.value('local-name(.)', 'nvarchar(100)')
,Value = xAttr.value('.','nvarchar(max)')
From #XML.nodes('/row/*') xNode(xAttr)
) A
Order By Seq
For XML Path (''),TYPE).value('.', 'nvarchar(max)') )
)
End
You can easily store the result as an XML string:
select *
from (values (1, 'x', getdate())) v(id, a, b)
where id = 1
for xml path ('');
Or as a JSON string:
select *
from (values (1, 'x', getdate())) v(id, a, b)
where id = 1
for json auto;
If you don't mind Using dynamic SQL (and INFORMATION_SCHEMA dictionary), for example, for SQL Server this works:
DECLARE #sql nvarchar(max) = '',
#result nvarchar(max),
#id int = 1
SELECT #sql += '+'',''+convert(nvarchar,' + QUOTENAME(column_name) +')' from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns where table_name = 'Student'
SET #sql = 'select #result=' + stuff(#sql,1,5,'') + ' from student where id = ' + CAST(#id as nvarchar)
EXECUTE sp_executesql #sql, N'#result nvarchar(max) OUTPUT', #result=#result OUTPUT
SELECT #result as MyOutput

Concatenate column values based on type result

Declare #name nvarchar(max),#Id int
SELECT #Id=[EmpType],#name =ISNULL(#name + ',','')+[UserName] FROM [dbo].[TestTable]
Group by [EmpType]
SELECT #Id,#name
Getting error with this code, How can i get the result employee type wise concatenated usernames
Expecting Result set
You can try below using STUFF() function
SELECT [EmpType], abc = STUFF(
(SELECT ',' + [UserName]
FROM [dbo].TestTable] t1
WHERE t1.[EmpType] = t2.[EmpType]
FOR XML PATH (''))
, 1, 1, '') from [dbo].TestTable] t2
group by [EmpType];

Combine two rows into one row. like average function but instead it will concat

I'm using SQL Server 2000.
What I want to do is like average function but instead it will concat.
Is there a way that I can do that?
For example I have this data.
Name | Score
Name1 | 50
Name1 | 70
and the output should be like this.
Name | Score
Name1 | 50,70
Use below query for your reference.
Query
Select main.doctorID,
Left(Main.submain,Len(Main.submain)-1) As 'Title'
From
(
Select distinct ST2.doctorID,
(
Select convert(varchar,ST1.encounterid) + ',' AS [text()]
From dbo.enc ST1
Where ST1.doctorID = ST2.doctorID
ORDER BY ST1.doctorID
For XML PATH ('')
) submain
From dbo.enc ST2
) [Main]
If you can use CLR, look at this example :
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165055%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
It provides a custom aggregate that concatenates values, which results in very clean code.
You can do it by this simple query.
Select Name, (Select SUBSTRING((SELECT ', '+Score from TableName for XML
Path('')) ,2,8000)) from TableName
You will have result like
ColumnName | val1, val2, ....
check this.
INSERT INTO #T VALUES
('name1', 50),
('name1', 70)
SELECT * FROM #T
Select name ,
STUFF((SELECT ',' + cast( score as varchar(50)) FROM #T WHERE (
name=Result.name) FOR XML PATH ('')),1,1,'') AS BATCHNOLIST
From #T AS Result
GROUP BY name
Can I Comma Delimit Multiple Rows Into One Column?
Query
SELECT Name,
(SELECT SUBSTRING((SELECT ', '+CAST(Score AS VARCHAR(MAX)) FROM my_table FOR XML Path('')) ,2,1000)) AS Score
FROM my_table
GROUP BY name;
Fiddle for reference
If you are using SQL Server 2000, then try to create a function as follows.
CREATE TABLE my_table(name VARCHAR(50),score INT);
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES('Name1',50);
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES('Name1',70);
Function
CREATE FUNCTION commaseparated(#name VARCHAR(MAX))
RETURNS VARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #score VARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT #score = COALESCE(#score + ', ', '') + CAST(score AS VARCHAR(MAX))
FROM my_table
WHERE name = #name
RETURN #score
END
SELECT
name,
score = dbo.commaseparated(name)
FROM my_table
GROUP BY name;

T-SQL - remove chars from string beginning from specific character

from table I retrieves values, for example,
7752652:1,7752653:2,7752654:3,7752655:4
or
7752941:1,7752942:2
i.e. string may contain any quantity of substrings.
What I need: remove all occurrences of characters from char ':' to a comma char.
For example,
7752652:1,7752653:2,7752654:3,7752655:4
should be
7752652,7752653,7752654,7752655
How do it?
Replace : with start tag <X>.
Replace , with end tag </X> and an extra comma.
Add an extra end tag to the end </X>.
That will give you a string that look like 7752941<X>1</X>,7752942<X>2</X>.
Cast to XML and use query(text()) to get the root text values.
Cast the result back to string.
SQL Fiddle
MS SQL Server 2012 Schema Setup:
create table T
(
C varchar(100)
)
insert into T values
('7752652:1,7752653:2,7752654:3,7752655:4'),
('7752941:1,7752942:2')
Query 1:
select cast(cast(replace(replace(T.C, ':', '<X>'), ',', '</X>,')+'</X>' as xml).query('text()') as varchar(100)) as C
from T
Results:
| C |
|---------------------------------|
| 7752652,7752653,7752654,7752655 |
| 7752941,7752942 |
declare #query varchar(8000)
select #query= 'select '+ replace (
replace('7752652:1,7752653:2,7752654:3,7752655:4',',',' t union all select ')
,':',' t1 , ')
exec(';with cte as ( '+#query+' ) select cast(t1 as varchar)+'','' from cte for xml path('''')')
Try this:
DECLARE #Data VARCHAR(100) = '7752652:1,7752653:2,7752654:3,7752655:4'
DECLARE #Output VARCHAR(100) = ''
WHILE CHARINDEX(':', #Data) > 0
BEGIN
IF LEN(#Output) > 0 SET #Output = #Output + ','
SET #Output = #Output + LEFT(#Data, CHARINDEX(':', #Data)-1)
SET #Data = STUFF(#Data,
1,
(CASE CHARINDEX(',', #Data)
WHEN 0 THEN LEN(#Data)
ELSE CHARINDEX(',', #Data)
END) - CHARINDEX(':', #Data),
'')
END
SELECT #Output AS Result -- 7752652,7752653,7752654,7752655
Hope this will help.
I borrowed the Splitter function from here. You could use any delimiter parser you may already be using.
Parse the string to table values
Used Substring function to remove values after ':'
Use For xml to re-generate CSV
Test Data:'
IF OBJECT_ID(N'tempdb..#temp')>0
DROP TABLE #temp
CREATE TABLE #temp (id int, StringCSV VARCHAR(500))
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('1','7752652:1,7752653:2,7752654:3,7752655:4')
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('2','7752656:1,7752657:3,7752658:4')
INSERT INTO #temp VALUES ('3','7752659:1,7752660:2')
SELECT * FROM #temp t
Main Query:
;WITH cte_Remove(ID, REMOVE) AS
(
SELECT y.id AS ID,
SUBSTRING(fn.string, 1, CHARINDEX(':', fn.string) -1) AS Removed
FROM #temp AS y
CROSS APPLY dbo.fnParseStringTSQL(y.StringCSV, ',') AS fn
)
SELECT DISTINCT ID,
STUFF(
(
SELECT ',' + REMOVE
FROM cte_Remove AS t2
WHERE t2.ID = t1.ID
FOR XML PATH('')
),1,1,'') AS col2
FROM cte_Remove AS t1
Cleanup Test Data:
IF OBJECT_ID(N'tempdb..#temp') > 0
DROP TABLE #temp
I solved this problem with CLR function. It is more quickly and function can be used in complex queries
public static SqlString fnRemoveSuffics(SqlString source)
{
string pattern = #":(\d+)";
string replacement = "";
string result = Regex.Replace(source.Value, pattern, replacement);
return new SqlString(result);
}

Pivoting row data into a single column

I have the following:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
CREATE TABLE #temp
(
testing VARCHAR(MAX)
)
INSERT INTO #temp
( testing )
VALUES ('Boomerang')
INSERT INTO #temp
( testing )
VALUES ('Bowling')
INSERT INTO #temp
( testing )
VALUES ('Boxing')
INSERT INTO #temp
( testing )
VALUES ('Bull Fighting')
SELECT *
FROM #temp
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
And I'm trying to display it as a single column result like the following:
Boomerang|Bowling|Boxing|Bull Fighting
However I've no idea how to do this. I've looked into Pivot but it doesn't seem to address my issue.
This is another way of doing it using string concatenation with Isnull() [or coalesce()] function.
Fiddle demo:
declare #str varchar(max)
Select #str = isnull(#str + '|', '') + testing
From temp
Order by testing
Select #str
--Results
Boomerang|Bowling|Boxing|Bull Fighting
SELECT STUFF(
(
SELECT '|' + testing
FROM #temp
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, '') list
Output:
| LIST |
|----------------------------------------|
| Boomerang|Bowling|Boxing|Bull Fighting |
