I have the below code that I need the format in pipe delimited format. I tried adding +'|' but seems I am not putting that correctly so it keeps on throwing errors. It can't be a stored procedure because of the rights. Also, I cannot change the result output permanently so can't use the tools-options menu. Could someone please add the pipe correctly for me in the below select statement. Thanks a ton. I am so confused.
SELECT DISTINCT
Name,
CAST(DOB AS DATE) AS DateOfBirth,
Address1 AS AddressStreet1,
Address2 AS AddressStreet2,
City AS AddressCity,
State AS AddressState,
Postal AS AddressZip,
Sex AS Gender,
CAST(ActivityDateTime AS DATE) AS ActivityDate,
CASE
WHEN ID IN ('R','A')
THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END AS Allow
I'm really not sure if this is what you're looking for, but one option is to throw all of the fields into one with a pipe between them. The UNION ALL allows you to display the headers in the first row.
SELECT 'Name|DateOfBirth|AddressStreet1|AddressStreet2|AddressCity|AddressState|AddressZip|Gender|ActivityDate|Allow' AS Data
UNION ALL
SELECT DISTINCT
Name + '|' +
CAST(DOB AS DATE) + '|' +
Address1 + '|' +
Address2 + '|' +
City + '|' +
State + '|' +
Postal + '|' +
Sex + '|' +
CAST(ActivityDateTime AS DATE) + '|' +
CASE
WHEN ID IN ('R','A')
THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END
AS Data

I have a table, with an ID, FirstName & Lastname.
I'm selecting that using the following query:
SELECT USER_ID as [ID], First_P + ' ' + Last_P as FullName FROM Persons
It's working fine. I'm basically having a list of ID's and full names.
Full names could be the same. How is it possible for me to find them and add the ID on the Full name cell as well? only when the names are the same.
Example:
1 John Wick (1)
50 John Wick (50)
I haven't found any similar questions to be honest, at least not for MSSQL. So If there are any, feel free to link me.
please take a look my answer. I used nested query to identify number of duplicated names
SELECT
ID,
IIF(NUMBEROFDUPS =1, NAME, CONCAT(NAME, ' (', ID, ')')) AS NAME
FROM
(
SELECT
ID,
CONCAT(First_P, ' ', Last_P) AS NAME,
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY First_P,Last_P) AS NUMBEROFDUPS
FROM
Table1
) tmp;
You can use outer apply to group the items via First_P + ' ' + Last_P
and then add case for multiple items.
The select stuff should look like:
SELECT USER_ID as [ID], p1.First_P + ' ' + p1.Last_P + case when cnt.FullName is not null
then '(' + p2.[sum] + ')' else '' end as FullName FROM Persons p1
outer apply (select First_P + ' ' + Last_P as FullName,count(1) as [sum]
from Persons p2
where p2.First_P + ' ' + p2.Last_P = p1.First_P + ' ' + p1.Last_P
group by First_P + ' ' + Last_P
having count(1) > 1) cnt
I want to select values from multiple columns into one column. I have 2 separate columns from which i want to get name,address,state,zip in following format in SQL Server 2008
Name (new line)
address,state,zip
Name (new line)
address,state,zip
Query:
select
name + char(13) + concat(address,',', state,',', zip)
from
tbl1
join
tbl2 on....
I am not able to get the desired output. I get concat is not a recognized built in function name.
You could use + operator and cast the zip field as varchar directly like this:
For example:
select 'Dara Singh' + char(13) + '1234 Main Street' + ',' + 'NY' + ','
+ cast(95825 as varchar(10))
This is how your query would look:
select name + char(13) + [address] + ',' + [state] + ',' + cast([zip] as varchar(10))
from tbl1 join tbl2 on....
I need to concatenate the City, State and Country columns into something like City, State, Country.
This is my code:
Select City + ', ' + State + ', ' + Country as outputText from Places
However, because City and State allow null (or empty) value, what happen is, (for example) if the City is null/empty, my output will look like , Iowa, USA; or say the State is empty, then the output will look like Seattle, , USA
Is there anyway I can format the output and remove "unnecessary" commas?
Edited: Because of the requirements, I should not use any other mean (such as PL/SQL, Store Procedure) etc., so it has to be plain SQL statement
select
isnull(City, '') +
case when isnull(City, '') != '' then ', ' else '' end +
isnull(State, '') +
case when isnull(State, '') != '' then ', ' else '' end +
isnull(Country, '') as outputText
from
Places
Since adding a string with null will result null so if they are null (not empty string) this will give you teh desired result
Select isnull(City + ', ','') + isnull(State + ', ' ,'') + isnull(Country,'') as outputText from Places
Use the COALESCE (Transact-SQL) function.
SELECT COALESCE(City + ', ', '') + COALESCE(State + ', ', '')...
In SQL Server 2012 you can use CONCAT function:
select concat(City,', ',State,', ',Country ) as outputText from Places
Not elegant by any means...
first changes city, state,country to null values if blank
then interprets that value for null and adds a space before a comma
then replaces any space comma space ( , ) with empty set.
Query:
SELECT replace(coalesce(Replace(City,'',Null),' ') + ', ' +
coalesce(Replace(State,'',Null), ' ' + ', ' +
coalesce(replace(Country,''Null),''), ' , ','') as outputText
FROM Places
Assumes no city state or country will contain space comma space.
Making two SQL queries into the same table
SELECT FirstName,
LastName,
LEFT(FirstName, 1) + '.' + LEFT(LastName, 1) AS Initial
FROM ContactUpdates
This outputs:
FirstName LastName Initial
I want this to join this other one on the right side where Initial ends
SELECT LOWER(LEFT(FirstName, 1) + REPLACE(LastName,'''','' ) )
+ '#email.com' AS Email
FROM ContactUpdates
In the end I want it to be
FirstName LastName Initial Email
But I can't figure out how to make them join any help?
SELECT FirstName,
LastName,
LEFT(FirstName,1) + '.' + LEFT(LastName,1) AS Initial,
LOWER(LEFT(FirstName, 1) + REPLACE(LastName, '''', '')) + '#email.com' AS Email
FROM ContactUpdates
Then simply append that column to the query:
SELECT FirstName
, LastName
, LEFT(FirstName,1) + '.' + LEFT(LastName,1) AS Initial
, LOWER(LEFT(FirstName,1) + REPLACE(LastName,'''','' ) ) + '#email.com' AS Email
FROM ContactUpdates
Concatenating two columns together, Just want them to be displaying together in column with a space between the two numbers. It keeps adding the two numbers together. One is a bigint other is a smallint.Will be displayed in an SSRS report eventually but right now just using SQL to query the data
(NBR +''+ ACCT_NBR) as acct,
Though you didn't mention the database, try
MySQL
concat(NBR,' ',ACCT_NBR) as acct
SQL Server
CAST(NBR AS VARCHAR)+' '+CAST(ACCT_NBR AS VARCHAR) as acct
You don't mention what flavor of SQL you're using, but depending, you may need to convert the values to strings first. For SQLSever...
(Cast(NBR as varchar(20)) + ' ' + Cast(ACCT_NBR as varchar(20))) as acct,
I know this post is already answered and is correct. But would like to post the below answer because from SQL Server 2017 onwards, this is too easy and someoen might find this helpful in future.
CONCAT_WS(CHAR(10),Cast(NBR as varchar(20)) ,Cast(ACCT_NBR as varchar(20))) as acct
CHAR(10) can be for space in SQL SERVER. You can replace CHAR(10) with any separator you like to. For example,
CONCAT_WS(',',Cast(NBR as varchar(20)) ,Cast(ACCT_NBR as varchar(20))) as acct
the above query will add the separator ',' between each strings being concatenated.
If its an Oracle Database, try
NBR || ' ' || ACCT_NBR as acct
Stuff(Coalesce(', ' + [Address1], '') + Coalesce(', ' + [Address2], '') + Coalesce(', ' + [City], '') + Coalesce(', ' + [State], '') + Coalesce(', ' + [Country], '') +Coalesce('-' + [Zip], ''), 1, 1, '') AS [Address] FROM Customers
I know I'm 7 years late, but felt like I should give this a try.
(NBR +space(5) + ACCT_NBR) as acct
This will add 5 whitespaces between the 2 concatenated items.
My example on how I tested was as follows:
select
+ N'(Contactname: '+ contactname + space(5) + N'(Company_Name: ' + companyname + N')' + N'(Contact_Title: ' + contacttitle + N')'
from Sales.Customers
In Teradata SQL you can use the below. It will always pull the last 3 days.
WHERE create_ts BETWEEN (DATE -3 || ' ' || '00:00:00') AND (DATE -1 || ' ' || '23:59:59')
