SQL variable length numeric string - sql

This query converts bc_int_phone to just numeric characters eliminating - and '' characters. Say the numbers obtained need not have the same starting numeric. Say I'm searching for 123-456-7890 but this could be of the form 999 123-456-7890.. How do I incorporate the like %(bc_phone_number)% in this code to incorporate this case?
select
ca.callingpartynumber, ca.originalcalledpartynumber, ca.duration,
ca.duration_text, ca.finalcalledpartynumber,
case
when calledpartylastname is not null
then ca.calledpartylastname + ',' + calledpartyfirstname
else p1.name
end as calledpartyname,
p1.location, p1.dept, p1.title,
case
when callingpartylastname is not null
then ca.callingpartylastname + ',' + callingpartyfirstname
else p3.name
end as callingpartyname
from
calldata.calldetailreport ca
join
ps_bc_peoplesource_base p1 on ca.originalcalledpartynumber like replace(p1.bc_int_phone, '-', '')
left outer join
ps_bc_peoplesource_base p3 on ca.callingpartynumber like replace(p3.bc_int_phone, '-', '')
where
callingpartynumber in (select replace(bc_int_phone, '-', '') internal_modified
from ps_bc_peoplesource_base
where bc_lan_id like 'f7c')

try like ca.originalcalledpartynumber like '%'||replace(p1.bc_int_phone, '-', '')||'%'
|| is the concatenation operator for strings in oracle.
USe + if you are using SQL Server.

LIKE statement to compare strings with hyphen

I am working in SQL and I have 3 columns Current Name, Given Full Name and Whether the names match (Y or No)
The problem with that is that when I am comparing the strings in the first 2 columns, it is not showing me the current result. For example, I am not finding a way to prove that 'Tushar Sharma' is same as 'Tushar-Sharma' considering that Tushar Sharma is the current full name and Tushar-Sharma is the name that has been extracted from a report.
I am stuck at the LIKE statement as to what to do if I want to have hyphen(-) included in the comparison so that I get a Y in the 3rd column.
Thank you
One option is to remove the hyphen for the comparison:
select (case when replace(given_name, '-', '') = replace(full_name, '-', '') then 'Y' else 'N' end) as names_match
You can use replace() with like as well:
select (case when replace(given_name, '-', '') like '%' + replace(full_name, '-', '') '%' then 'Y' else 'N' end) as names_match
Replace - with whitespace and compare, you can also use regex or fuzzy matching to improve the match for other conditions.
AND REPLACE(CurrentName, '-', ' ') = REPLACE(GivenName, '-', ' ');
Ex:
AND REPLACE('Tushar Sharma', '-', ' ') = REPLACE('Tushar-Sharma', '-', ' ')
will eval to
AND 'Tushar Sharma' = 'Tushar Sharma'
this will work:
select currentname,givenfullname,case when regexp_replace(currentname,' ','') like
regexp_replace(givenfullname,' ','') the 'Y' else 'N' end as matchstatus from
table_name;

sql concatenation with blank cells

So I am extracting data from one table to another
SELECT *
LTRIM(ADRESSE + ',' + ADRESSE2) AS ADDRESS12
FROM [Homestore].[dbo].[CLIENT]
Issue is that if the cells are blank i still get a comma ,
I have tried using & instead of + but nvarchar is incompatible in the '&' operator. Any ideas how I only insert the comma if there is something to concatenate?
You want the equivalent of CONCAT_WS() in other databases. You can do this with STUFF() and some string logic in SQL Server:
SELECT c.*
STUFF( (COALESCE(',' + ADRESSE, '') +
COALESCE(',' + ADRESSE2, '') +
), 1, 1, ''
) AS ADDRESS12
FROM [Homestore].[dbo].[CLIENT] c;
This structure is convenient, because you can just add more COALESCE() expressions for more columns.
use case expression
SELECT *, LTRIM(ADRESSE + case when ADRESSE is not null then ',' end + ADRESSE2) AS ADDRESS12
FROM [Homestore].[dbo].[CLIENT]
use case when for null checking
SELECT *
LTRIM(ADRESSE + case when ADRESSE2 is not null then
',' else '' end + ADRESSE2) AS ADDRESS12
FROM [Homestore].[dbo].[CLIENT]

You are missing Column Alias for Two Case Statement in Your SELECT query. As SSRS uses only the column name as the key, not table + column, so it was choking.
Refer Here And Here And Here also
SELECT ca.callingpartynumber, ca.originalcalledpartynumber,

THEN ca.calledpartylastname + ',' + calledpartyfirstname

Case within Case when combining multiple columns into one

I'm trying to create a query that will take multiple columns in a View and bring it into one column in the query. The values from each column needs to be separated by '|' (pipe).
I've tried:
1) (expression1 + '|' + expression2) AS xxxx, but if one expression has a null value, it makes the results 'null'.
2) CAST (expression1 as varchar (10)) + '|' + CAST (expression2 as varchar (10)) AS xxxx, but get the same results.
3) CASE (expression1 is null) then (' ') else (expression1) +'|' + CASE (expression2 is null) then (' ') else (expression2) END AS xxxx, but I get a syntax error near the keyword 'AS'.
Here's the full query using CASE.
SELECT DISTINCT dbo.REG.BUILDING, dbo.REG.CURRENT_STATUS, dbo.REG_CONTACT.LOGIN_ID, dbo.REG.LAST_NAME
, CASE WHEN dbo.View_MYAccess_Period1.CRSGRP1 is null then ' ' else dbo.View_MYAccess_Period1.CRSGRP1 + ' |' +
CASE WHEN dbo.View_MYAccess_Period2.CRSGRP2 is null then ' ' else dbo.View_MYAccess_Period2.CRSGRP2
END AS CRSGRP
FROM dbo.REG_CONTACT RIGHT OUTER JOIN
dbo.REG_STU_CONTACT ON dbo.REG_CONTACT.CONTACT_ID = dbo.REG_STU_CONTACT.CONTACT_ID RIGHT OUTER JOIN
dbo.REG ON dbo.REG_STU_CONTACT.STUDENT_ID = dbo.REG.STUDENT_ID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.View_MYAccess_Period1 ON dbo.REG.STUDENT_ID = dbo.View_MYAccess_Period1.STUDENT_ID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.View_MYAccess_Period2 ON dbo.REG.STUDENT_ID = dbo.View_MYAccess_Period2.STUDENT_ID
Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated!
Use ISNULL function,
SELECT DISTINCT dbo.REG.BUILDING, dbo.REG.CURRENT_STATUS, dbo.REG_CONTACT.LOGIN_ID, dbo.REG.LAST_NAME
, ISNULL(dbo.View_MYAccess_Period1.CRSGRP1,' ') + ' |' +
ISNULL(dbo.View_MYAccess_Period2.CRSGRP2,' ') CRSGRP
FROM dbo.REG_CONTACT RIGHT OUTER JOIN
dbo.REG_STU_CONTACT ON dbo.REG_CONTACT.CONTACT_ID = dbo.REG_STU_CONTACT.CONTACT_ID RIGHT OUTER JOIN
dbo.REG ON dbo.REG_STU_CONTACT.STUDENT_ID = dbo.REG.STUDENT_ID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.View_MYAccess_Period1 ON dbo.REG.STUDENT_ID = dbo.View_MYAccess_Period1.STUDENT_ID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.View_MYAccess_Period2 ON dbo.REG.STUDENT_ID = dbo.View_MYAccess_Period2.STUDENT_ID
In example 1, you might use the COALESCE(expression, fallback) function to force expression to return a fallback value if the expression is null. (Then tweak the rest of the logic accordingly.)
In your example 3, you need another END keyword:
CASE
(expression1 is null) then (' ')
ELSE (expression1) +'|' +
CASE (expression2 is null) then (' ') else (expression2) END
END AS xxxx

Conditionals in transact-sql select column lists

I've got a query that looks a bit like this:
select
records.id,
contacts.name + ' (' + contacts.organization + ')' as contact,
from records
left join contacts on records.contact = contacts.contactid
Problem is - contacts.organization is frequently empty, and I get contacts like "John Smith ()". Is there a way to only concatenate the organization if it's non-empty?
Use a CASE statement
SELECT
records.id,
CASE contacts.organization
WHEN '' THEN contacts.name
ELSE contacts.name + ' (' + contacts.organization + ')'
END as Contact
FROM records
LEFT JOIN contacts ON records.contact = contacts.contactid
You could modify it to also check for NULL values, but I do not believe you have that issue because if you had a NULL in your contacts.organization, your entire result field would be null instead of blank.
Not sure if this is the best way to do it:
CASE contacts.organization
WHEN '' THEN ''
ELSE '(' + contacts.organzation + ')' END
use a CASE, like CASE WHEN contacts.organization not null then ' (' + c.o + ') ' else '' end
You always need to expect nulls, because of your outer join:
select
records.id,
contacts.name + CASE WHEN contacts.organization IS NULL OR contacts.organization='' THEN '' ELSE ' (' + contacts.organization + ')' END as contact,
from records
left join contacts on records.contact = contacts.contactid
If you're dealing with NULL values there are some functions that specialize in them which are worth knowing.
ISNULL()
COALESCE()
NULLIF()
NULLIF() might be the one you're looking for. It basically takes two params. It returns the first param unless it is NULL, otherwise it returns the second.
Here's what I approximate your code would be:
select
records.id,
contacts.name + ISNULL(' (' + contacts.organization + ')', '') as contact,
from records
left join contacts on records.contact = contacts.contactid
Most NULL-related functions can be replaced by a larger CASE statement. CASE is your more general tool. But using specific functions will make your code cleaner, or at least more terse.
