I am running the below query through MS Query on an ODBC connection:
SELECT oa_cstexpbal_0.costcentre, oa_cstexpbal_0.expensecode, oa_cstexpbal_0.yearno,
oa_cstexpbal_0.baltype, oa_cstexpbal_0.openbal, oa_cstexpbal_0.periodbal
FROM OPENACC.PUB.oa_cstexpbal oa_cstexpbal_0
WHERE (oa_cstexpbal_0.yearno='2016') AND (oa_cstexpbal_0.baltype='AV')
and it returns the below data into one column for periodbal:
406186.06;317084.39;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0
Is there a way I can separate out the periodbal data to stop it coming through as comma separated?
I am connecting to a sql 2008 Db call OPENACC.PUB and using the original query to pull through the data. The only column that is retuning with a ; is the periodbal. when dumped into excel this can be corrected through Text To Columns but ideally I want to try and do this in the query (if possible).
Assuming you use MS SQL Server you want to split data which are separated by semicolon in your column to rows so you handle them in SQL.
If that is correct, then you need to split them. As SQL server can not do this by default you have various way to do so.
See this post http://sqlperformance.com/2012/07/t-sql-queries/split-strings for some general informatione.
Here https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/15125/sql-server-split-function-optimized I posted once a split function, that works in SQL, too.
So one approach can be:
SELECT oa_cstexpbal_0.costcentre
, oa_cstexpbal_0.expensecode
, oa_cstexpbal_0.yearno
, oa_cstexpbal_0.baltype
, oa_cstexpbal_0.openbal
, oa_cstexpbal_0.periodbal
, s.value AS periodbal_as_rows
FROM OPENACC.PUB.oa_cstexpbal oa_cstexpbal_0
CROSS APPLY dbo.fn_Split(oa_cstexpbal_0.periodbal,';') AS s
WHERE (oa_cstexpbal_0.yearno='2016') AND (oa_cstexpbal_0.baltype='AV')

I am using SAS to pull data in a Teradata environment. I am counting the rows in the Teradata table, but want the output to be in a comma format (i.e. 1,000,000). I was able to use the code below to display the value as a comma, but when I try to add the column in SAS, I can't since the output is in a character format. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to format the number value as comma, so that it can be used for calculation purposes in SAS? Thanks.
CAST(Count(*) as (format 'Z,ZZZ,ZZ9')) as char(10)) as rowCount,
Assuming you're using pass through, pull it in as numeric and format it on the SAS side. You've now converted it to character (char10) and SAS doesn't do math on character variables which makes logical sense.
select rowCount format=comma12. from con
(select
count(*) as rowCount ....
)
If you have a select * you can always format it later in a data step or via PROC DATASETS. SAS separates the display and storage layers so the format controls the appearance but the underlying data still remains numeric.
So I'm working on editing some SQL code and I've just began learning it. I'm trying to fix an update query so it updates a table's value5 column with a corresponding database value. The value type from the database is a number, which I want to convert to a date and place into my table. The database number is in yyyymmdd format so I've been trying to use datefromparts() which doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?
UPDATE tbl INNER JOIN dB ON
(dB.value1= tbl.value1 OR
dB.value2 =tbl.value2 ) AND
(LEFT(dB.value3 ,5)=tbl.value3 ) AND
(dB.value4 =tbl.value4 )
SET tbl.value5 = DateFromParts(Left(dB.value5,4),Mid(dB.value5,5,2),Right(dB.value5,2))
WHERE tblInvoice.value5 IS NULL;
The current program uses the code
"SET tbl.value5 = dB.value5"
instead (it runs perfectly fine) and I am having another issue with testing the conversion SQL code (datefromparts()). Because I am converting from numbers to time/date, I have to go into the design view of the target table and change the input data type of the value5 column from numbers to time/date. When I run the query with the conversion SQL code, the query stalls for a bit and no values get updated, leaving me with just a blank value5 column. If I now want to fill in the original number values, I change the SQL code back into its original "SET tbl.value5 = dB.value5", change the input data type from time/date to numbers, and rerun the program. The query stalls and no values are updated, and I am again left with blank columns, even though the same code left me with the corrected update values before the modifications to the SQL and table input Data types. I come from a VBA background and I'm just really confused with how this is working. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!
Have you tried with substring instead?
SELECT DATEFROMPARTS ( left('20101231',4), substring('20101231',5,2), right('20101231',2) ) AS Result;
MS Access (and MS Jet too) have no DateFromParts function. Using DateSerial instead.
SET tbl.value5 = DateSerial(Left(dB.value5, 4), Mid(dB.value5, 5, 2), Right(dB.value5, 2))
It's not clear if you work with T-SQL or Access SQL. In Access, you can use Format:
SET tbl.value5 = CDate(Format(dB.value5, "####\/##\/##"))
In T-SQL you could use a similar method.
I have a report (built using SSRS) that uses a multi-value parameter.
I want to add a Filter onto my SQL Query WHERE FieldA is LIKE any of the values stored in the parameter.
So FieldA might have the following values:
BOBJAMESLOUISE
MARYBOB
JENNY
JOHNLOUISEJAMES
BOB
JENNYJAMESMIKE
And #ParamA might have the following values:
Bob, Louise
Therefore in this example only records 1, 3, 4 and 5 should be returned
Thanks to any help in advance :)
P.S I'm using SQL Server 2008
You will want to implement a function like the split function. This can take a comma separated value list and separate it into rows like you want.
Below is a link for a couple of different versions, any of them will work for you. It also tells you how to use it.
Split Function
I am guessing its not the spiting sting part that is the issue since just googling for SQL split string you can find a lot of example. In your case what you would want after the split string is something like this. Assuming that the split string function you end up using returns a table of values Here is what your comparison query for with field A would look like.
SELECT * FROM YourTableWithFieldA WHERE (#ParamA IS NULL OR EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM YourSplitFunctionThatReturnsATableOfValues(#ParamA) SplitTable WHERE (FieldA Like '%'+SplitTable.Value+'%')))
I am looking for a way to take data from one table and manipulate it and bring it to another table using an SQL query.
I have a Column called NumberStuff that has data like this in it:
INC000000315482
I need to cut off the INC portion of the number and convert it into an integer and store it into a Column in another table so that it ends up looking like this:
315482
Any help would be much appreciated!
Another approach is to use the Replace function. Either in TSQL or as a Derived Column Expression in SSIS.
TSQL
SELECT REPLACE(T.MyColumn, 'INC', '') AS ReplacedINC
SSIS
REPLACE([MyColumn], "INC", "")
This removes the character based data. It then becomes an optional exercise in converting to a numeric type before storing it to the target table or letting the implicit conversion happen.
Simplest version of what you need.
select cast(right(column,6) as int) from table
Are you doing this in a SSIS statement, or?...is it always the last 6 or?...
This is a little less dependant on your formatting...removes 0's and can be any length (will trim the first 3 chars and the leading 0's).
select cast(SUBSTRING('INC000000315482',4,LEN('INC000000315482') - 3) as int)
I'm trying to query an xml column using an IN expression. I have not found a native XQuery way of doing such a query so I have tried two work-arounds:
Implement the IN query as a concatenation of ORs like this:
WHERE Data.exist('/Document/ParentKTMNode[text() = sql:variable("#Param1368320145") or
text() = sql:variable("#Param2043685301") or ...
Implement the IN query with the String fn:contains(...) method like this:
WHERE Data.exist('/Document/Field2[fn:contains(sql:variable("#Param1412022317"), .)]') = 1
Where the given parameter is a (long) string with the values separated by "|"
The problem is that Version 1. doesn't work for more than about 50 arguments. The server throws an out of memory exception. Version 2. works, but is very, very slow.
Has anyone a 3. idea? To phrase the problem more complete: Given a list of values, of any sql native type, select all rows whose xml column has one of the given values at a specific field in the xml.
Try to insert all your parameters in a table and query using sql:column clause:
SELECT Mytable.Column FROM MyTable
CROSS JOIN (SELECT '#Param1' T UNION ALL SELECT '#Param2') B
WHERE Data.exist('/Document/ParentKTMNode[text() = sql:column("T")
