I have a query that looks up a list of documents depending on their department and their status.
DECLARE #StatusIds NVARCHAR(MAX) = '1,2,3,4,5';
DECLARE #DepartmentId NVARCHAR(2) = 'IT';
SELECT ILDPST.name,
COUNT(*) AS TodayCount
FROM dbo.TableA ILDP
LEFT JOIN dbo.TableB ILDPS ON ILDPS.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId = ILDP.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId
LEFT JOIN dbo.TableC ILDPST ON ILDPST.IntranetLoanDealPreStateTypeId = ILDPS.CurrentStateTypeId
WHERE (ILDP.CreatedByDepartmentId = #DepartmentId OR #DepartmentId IS NULL)
AND ILDPS.CurrentStateTypeId IN (
SELECT value
FROM dbo.StringAsIntTable(#StatusIds)
)
GROUP BY ILDPST.name;
This returns the results:
However, I'd also like to be able to return statuses where the TodayCount is equal to 0 (i.e. any status with an id included in #StatusIds should be returned, regardless of TodayCount).
I've tried messing with some unions / joins / ctes but I couldn't quite get it to work. I'm not much of an SQL person so not sure what else to provide that could be useful.
Thanks!
If you want to have all the records from TableC you need to left join all other tables to it, not left join it to the other tables. Also it's best to INNER JOIN the filtering table you create from #StatusIds rather then apply it through INclause. Try this:
DECLARE #StatusIds NVARCHAR(MAX) = '1,2,3,4,5';
DECLARE #DepartmentId NVARCHAR(2) = 'IT';
SELECT ILDPST.Name, COUNT(ILDP.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId) AS TodayCount
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT value FROM dbo.StringAsIntTable(#StatusIds)) StatusIds
INNER JOIN dbo.TableC ILDPST
ON ILDPST.IntranetLoanDealPreStateTypeId = StatusIds.value
LEFT JOIN dbo.TableB ILDPS
ON ILDPS.CurrentStateTypeId = ILDPST.IntranetLoanDealPreStateTypeId
LEFT JOIN dbo.TableA ILDP
ON ILDP.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId = ILDPS.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId
AND (ILDP.CreatedByDepartmentId = #DepartmentId OR #DepartmentId IS NULL)
GROUP BY ILDPST.Name;
Try this instead:
DECLARE #StatusIds NVARCHAR(MAX) = '1,2,3,4,5';
DECLARE #DepartmentId NVARCHAR(2) = 'IT';
SELECT ILDPST.name,
COUNT(ILDP.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId) AS TodayCount
FROM
dbo.TableC ILDPST
LEFT JOIN
dbo.TableB ILDPS ON ILDPST.IntranetLoanDealPreStateTypeId = ILDPS.CurrentStateTypeId
LEFT JOIN
dbo.TableA ILDP ON ILDPS.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId = ILDP.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId
AND (ILDP.CreatedByDepartmentId = #DepartmentId OR #DepartmentId IS NULL)
WHERE
ILDPST.IntranetLoanDealPreStateTypeId
IN (
SELECT value
FROM dbo.StringAsIntTable(#StatusIds)
)
GROUP BY ILDPST.name;
You could use the following function to create a table value for your status id's.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitString]
(
#myString varchar(max),
#deliminator varchar(2)
)
RETURNS
#ReturnTable TABLE
(
[Part] [varchar](max) NULL
)
AS
BEGIN
Declare #iSpaces int
Declare #part varchar(max)
--initialize spaces
Select #iSpaces = charindex(#deliminator,#myString,0)
While #iSpaces > 0
Begin
Select #part = substring(#myString,0,charindex(#deliminator,#myString,0))
Insert Into #ReturnTable(Part)
Select #part
Select #myString = substring(#mystring,charindex(#deliminator,#myString,0)+ len(#deliminator),len(#myString) - charindex(' ',#myString,0))
Select #iSpaces = charindex(#deliminator,#myString,0)
end
If len(#myString) > 0
Insert Into #ReturnTable
Select #myString
RETURN
END
This can now be used as a table that you can LEFT JOIN to.
DECLARE #StatusIds NVARCHAR(MAX) = '1,2,3,4,5';
SELECT * FROM dbo.SplitString(#StatusIds, ',')
It is not tested but give it a try:
;With Cte ( Value ) As
( Select Distinct Value From dbo.StringAsIntTable( #StatusIds ) )
Select
ILDPST.name,
COUNT(*) AS TodayCount
From
dbo.TableC As ILDPST
Inner Join Cte On ( ILDPST.IntranetLoanDealPreStateTypeId = Cte.Value )
Left Join dbo.TableB As ILDPS On ( ILDPST.IntranetLoanDealPreStateTypeId = ILDPS.CurrentStateTypeId )
Left Join dbo.TableA As ILDP On ( ILDPS.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId = ILDP.IntranetLoanDealPreStateId )
And ( ( ILDP.CreatedByDepartmentId = #DepartmentId ) Or ( #DepartmentId Is Null ) )
Group By
ILDPST.name
I have a varchar string of delimited numbers separated by commas that I want to use in my SQL script but I need to compare with a bigint field in the database. Need to know to convert it:
DECLARE #RegionID varchar(200) = null
SET #RegionID = '853,834,16,467,841,460,495,44,859,457,437,836,864,434,86,838,458,472,832,433,142,154,159,839,831,469,442,275,840,299,446,220,300,225,227,447,301,450,230,837,441,835,302,477,855,411,395,279,303'
SELECT a.ClassAdID, -- 1
a.AdURL, -- 2
a.AdTitle, -- 3
a.ClassAdCatID, -- 4
b.ClassAdCat, -- 5
a.Img1, -- 6
a.AdText, -- 7
a.MemberID, -- 9
a.Viewed, -- 10
c.Domain, -- 11
a.CreateDate -- 12
FROM ClassAd a
INNER JOIN ClassAdCat b ON b.ClassAdCAtID = a.ClassAdCAtID
INNER JOIN Region c ON c.RegionID = a.RegionID
AND a.PostType = 'CPN'
AND DATEDIFF(d, GETDATE(), ExpirationDate) >= 0
AND a.RegionID IN (#RegionID)
AND Viewable = 'Y'
This fails with the following error:
Error converting data type varchar to bigint.
RegionID In the database is a bigint field.. need to convert the varchar to bigint.. any ideas..?
Many thanks in advance,

create this function:
CREATE function [dbo].[f_split]
(
#param nvarchar(max),
#delimiter char(1)
)
returns #t table (val nvarchar(max), seq int)
as
begin
set #param += #delimiter
;with a as
(
select cast(1 as bigint) f, charindex(#delimiter, #param) t, 1 seq
union all
select t + 1, charindex(#delimiter, #param, t + 1), seq + 1
from a
where charindex(#delimiter, #param, t + 1) > 0
)
insert #t
select substring(#param, f, t - f), seq from a
option (maxrecursion 0)
return
end
change this part:
AND a.RegionID IN (select val from dbo.f_split(#regionID, ','))
Change this for better overall performance:
AND DATEDIFF(d, 0, GETDATE()) <= ExpirationDate
Your query does not know that those are separate values, you can use dynamic sql for this:
DECLARE #RegionID varchar(200) = null
SET #RegionID = '853,834,16,467,841,460,495,44,859,457,437,836,864,434,86,838,458,472,832,433,142,154,159,839,831,469,442,275,840,299,446,220,300,225,227,447,301,450,230,837,441,835,302,477,855,411,395,279,303'
declare #sql nvarchar(Max)
set #sql = 'SELECT a.ClassAdID, -- 1
a.AdURL, -- 2
a.AdTitle, -- 3
a.ClassAdCatID, -- 4
b.ClassAdCat, -- 5
a.Img1, -- 6
a.AdText, -- 7
a.MemberID, -- 9
a.Viewed, -- 10
c.Domain, -- 11
a.CreateDate -- 12
FROM ClassAd a
INNER JOIN ClassAdCat b ON b.ClassAdCAtID = a.ClassAdCAtID
INNER JOIN Region c ON c.RegionID = a.RegionID
AND a.PostType = ''CPN''
AND DATEDIFF(d, GETDATE(), ExpirationDate) >= 0
AND a.RegionID IN ('+#RegionID+')
AND Viewable = ''Y'''
exec sp_executesql #sql
I use this apporach sometimes and find it very good.
It transfors your comma-separated string into an AUX table (called #ARRAY) and then query the main table based on the AUX table:
declare #RegionID varchar(50)
SET #RegionID = '853,834,16,467,841,460,495,44,859,457,437,836,864,434,86,838,458,472,832,433,142,154,159,839,831,469,442,275,840,299,446,220,300,225,227,447,301,450,230,837,441,835,302,477,855,411,395,279,303'
declare #S varchar(20)
if LEN(#RegionID) > 0 SET #RegionID = #RegionID + ','
CREATE TABLE #ARRAY(region_ID VARCHAR(20))
WHILE LEN(#RegionID) > 0 BEGIN
SELECT #S = LTRIM(SUBSTRING(#RegionID, 1, CHARINDEX(',', #RegionID) - 1))
INSERT INTO #ARRAY (region_ID) VALUES (#S)
SELECT #RegionID = SUBSTRING(#RegionID, CHARINDEX(',', #RegionID) + 1, LEN(#RegionID))
END
select * from your_table
where regionID IN (select region_ID from #ARRAY)
It avoids you from ahving to concatenate the query string and then use EXEC to execute it, which I dont think it is a very good approach.
if you need to run the code twice you will need to drop the temp table
I think the answer should be kept simple.
Try using CHARINDEX like this:
DECLARE #RegionID VARCHAR(200) = NULL
SET #RegionID =
'853,834,16,467,841,460,495,44,859,457,437,836,864,434,86,838,458,472,832,433,142,154,159,839,831,469,442,275,840,299,446,220,300,225,227,447,301,450,230,837,441,835,302,477,855,411,395,279,303'
SELECT 1
WHERE Charindex('834', #RegionID) > 0
SELECT 1
WHERE Charindex('999', #RegionID) > 0
When CHARINDEX finds the value in the large string variable, it will return it's position, otherwise it return 0.
Use this as a search tool.
The easiest way to change this query is to replace the IN function with a string function. Here is what I consider the safest approach using LIKE (which is portable among databases):
AND ','+#RegionID+',' like '%,'+cast(a.RegionID as varchar(255))+',%'
Or CHARINDEX:
AND charindex(','+cast(a.RegionID as varchar(255))+',', ','+#RegionID+',') > 0
However, if you are explicitly putting the list in your code, why not use a temporary table?
declare #RegionIds table (RegionId int);
insert into #RegionIds
select 853 union all
select 834 union all
. . .
select 303
Then you can use the table in the IN clause:
AND a.RegionId in (select RegionId from #RegionIds)
or in a JOIN clause.
I like Diego's answer some, but I think my modification is a little better because you are declaring a table variable and not creating an actual table. I know the "in" statement can be a little slow, so I did an inner join since I needed some info from the Company table anyway.
declare #companyIdList varchar(1000)
set #companyIdList = '1,2,3'
if LEN(#companyIdList) > 0 SET #companyIdList = #companyIdList + ','
declare #CompanyIds TABLE (CompanyId bigint)
declare #S varchar(20)
WHILE LEN(#companyIdList) > 0 BEGIN
SELECT #S = LTRIM(SUBSTRING(#companyIdList, 1, CHARINDEX(',', #companyIdList) - 1))
INSERT INTO #CompanyIds (CompanyId) VALUES (#S)
SELECT #companyIdList = SUBSTRING(#companyIdList, CHARINDEX(',', #companyIdList) + 1, LEN(#companyIdList))
END
select d.Id, d.Name, c.Id, c.Name
from [Division] d
inner join [Company] c on d.CompanyId = c.Id
inner join #CompanyIds cids on c.Id = cids.CompanyId
i have a list of items i am selecting and want to also include a few values from a UDF mixed in.
