I have a set of address used for printing labels and I would like to group them.
What I have:
UID CustName LocName State Zip Comments1 Comments2

1 John R1 NC 158631 Foo Bar
2 Smith R2 SC 126543 Bla Bla Bla
What I'm looking for:
Col_1 Col_2 Col_3
=============================
John R1 NC
158631 Foo Bar
Smith R2 SC
126543 Bla Bla Bla
I hope this makes sense.
You need to unpivot the columns of data in the sets of 3 each. If you are using SQL Server 2005+, then you can use CROSS APPLY to get the result:
select col_1, col_2, col3
from yourtable
cross apply
(
select custname, locname, state union all
select zip, comments1, comments2
) c (col_1, col_2, col3)
order by uid;
Note, the datatype must be the same on the columns you are placing together, for example if zip was an int, then you would have to convert it to a varchar so you could place the data in the same column as custname.

How to use like clause with multiple values in DB2 version 12.01.
SELECT t1.* FROM table1 t1
, ( select (pattern_col) as term from help_table ) t2
WHERE t1.col1 like t2.term
Pattern_col contains n number of values like(%abc%, %xyz%, %nnn%, ...)
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
I tried this solution mentioned in How to use LIKE with IN in DB2?. It works when I use sysdummy table (Oracle equivalent is DUAL)
But when i try to replace the sysdummy1 with actual table values, i get below error.
SQLCODE = -132, ERROR: AN OPERAND OF LIKE IS NOT VALID
I am not able to figure out why it works with sysdummy1 and why not with actual table.
There is nothing wrong with your approach (I guess), but the platform/version you are on may be a problem. Example for Db2 11.5 on LUW:
create table patterns (pid int not null primary key, pattern varchar(100) not null);
insert into patterns (pid, pattern) values (1, '%abc% %xyz% %nnn%');
create table t (val varchar(100) not null primary key);
insert into t (val) values ('xyzabc xyz nnn'),('xyzabc xyz nn');
select t.*
from t
join patterns p
on t.val like p.pattern
where p.pid = 1;
VAL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xyzabc xyz nnn
You can insert multiple patterns like:
delete from patterns;
insert into patterns (pid, pattern)
values (1, '%abc%'), (2, '%xyz%'), (3, '%nnn%');
select t.*
from t
join patterns p
on t.val like p.pattern
where p.pid = 1;
VAL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xyzabc xyz nn
xyzabc xyz nnn
From your comment it appears as if you are using zos. Both LUW and ZOS have regexp abilities that you may want to explore:
REGEXP_LIKE
I have two queries :
Queries Simplified excluding Joins
Query 1 : select ProductName,NumberofProducts (in inventory) from Table1.....;
Query 2 : select ProductName, NumberofProductssold from Table2......;
I would like to know how I can get an output as :
ProductName NumberofProducts(in inventory) ProductName NumberofProductsSold
The relationships used for getting the outputs for each query are different.
I need the output this way for my SSRS report .
(I tried the union statement but it doesnt work for the output I want to see. )
Here is an example that does a union between two completely unrelated tables: the Student and the Products table. It generates an output that is 4 columns:
select
FirstName as Column1,
LastName as Column2,
email as Column3,
null as Column4
from
Student
union
select
ProductName as Column1,
QuantityPerUnit as Column2,
null as Column3,
UnitsInStock as Column4
from
Products
Obviously you'll tweak this for your own environment...
I think you are after something like this; (Using row_number() with CTE and performing a FULL OUTER JOIN )
Fiddle example
;with t1 as (
select col1,col2, row_number() over (order by col1) rn
from table1
),
t2 as (
select col3,col4, row_number() over (order by col3) rn
from table2
)
select col1,col2,col3,col4
from t1 full outer join t2 on t1.rn = t2.rn
Tables and data :
create table table1 (col1 int, col2 int)
create table table2 (col3 int, col4 int)
insert into table1 values
(1,2),(3,4)
insert into table2 values
(10,11),(30,40),(50,60)
Results :
| COL1 | COL2 | COL3 | COL4 |
---------------------------------
| 1 | 2 | 10 | 11 |
| 3 | 4 | 30 | 40 |
| (null) | (null) | 50 | 60 |
How about,
select
col1,
col2,
null col3,
null col4
from Table1
union all
select
null col1,
null col2,
col4 col3,
col5 col4
from Table2;
The problem is that unless your tables are related you can't determine how to join them, so you'd have to arbitrarily join them, resulting in a cartesian product:
select Table1.col1, Table1.col2, Table2.col3, Table2.col4
from Table1
cross join Table2
If you had, for example, the following data:
col1 col2
a 1
b 2
col3 col4
y 98
z 99
You would end up with the following:
col1 col2 col3 col4
a 1 y 98
a 1 z 99
b 2 y 98
b 2 z 99
Is this what you're looking for? If not, and you have some means of relating the tables, then you'd need to include that in joining the two tables together, e.g.:
select Table1.col1, Table1.col2, Table2.col3, Table2.col4
from Table1
inner join Table2
on Table1.JoiningField = Table2.JoiningField
That would pull things together for you into however the data is related, giving you your result.
If you mean that both ProductName fields are to have the same value, then:
SELECT a.ProductName,a.NumberofProducts,b.ProductName,b.NumberofProductsSold FROM Table1 a, Table2 b WHERE a.ProductName=b.ProductName;
Or, if you want the ProductName column to be displayed only once,
SELECT a.ProductName,a.NumberofProducts,b.NumberofProductsSold FROM Table1 a, Table2 b WHERE a.ProductName=b.ProductName;
Otherwise,if any row of Table1 can be associated with any row from Table2 (even though I really wonder why anyone'd want to do that), you could give this a look.
Old question, but where others use JOIN to combine unrelated queries to rows in one table, this is my solution to combine unrelated queries to one row, e.g:
select
(select count(*) c from v$session where program = 'w3wp.exe') w3wp,
(select count(*) c from v$session) total,
sysdate
from dual;
which gives the following one-row output:
W3WP TOTAL SYSDATE
----- ----- -------------------
14 290 2020/02/18 10:45:07
(which tells me that our web server currently uses 14 Oracle sessions out of the total of 290 sessions; I log this output without headers in an sqlplus script that runs every so many minutes)
Load each query into a datatable:
http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=143
load both datatables into the dataset:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aeskbwf7%28v=vs.80%29.aspx
This is what you can do. Assuming that your ProductName column have common values.
SELECT
Table1.ProductName,
Table1.NumberofProducts,
Table2.ProductName,
Table2.NumberofProductssold
FROM Table1
INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.ProductName= Table2.ProductName
Try this:
SELECT ProductName,NumberofProducts ,NumberofProductssold
FROM table1
JOIN table2
ON table1.ProductName = table2.ProductName
Try this:
GET THE RECORD FOR CURRENT_MONTH, LAST_MONTH AND ALL_TIME AND MERGE THEM INTO SINGLE ARRAY
$analyticsData = $this->user->getMemberInfoCurrentMonth($userId);
$analyticsData1 = $this->user->getMemberInfoLastMonth($userId);
$analyticsData2 = $this->user->getMemberInfAllTime($userId);
foreach ($analyticsData2 as $arr) {
foreach ($analyticsData1 as $arr1) {
if ($arr->fullname == $arr1->fullname) {
$arr->last_send_count = $arr1->last_send_count;
break;
}else{
$arr->last_send_count = 0;
}
}
foreach ($analyticsData as $arr2) {
if ($arr->fullname == $arr2->fullname) {
$arr->current_send_count = $arr2->current_send_count;
break;
}else{
$arr->current_send_count = 0;
}
}
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($analyticsData2);die;
I want to split one column that is colb in the given below example into two columns
like column1 and column2.
I have a table with two columns:
Example:
create table t3
(
cola varchar,
colb varchar
);
Insertion:
insert into t3 values('D1','2021to123'),
('D2','112to24201'),
('D3','51to201');
I want to split the colb values into two columns like the following expected result:
Expected Result:
cola column1 column2
---------------------------------
D1 2021 123
D2 112 24201
D3 51 201
select cola
,split_part(colb, 'to', 1) col1
,split_part(colb, 'to', 2) col2
from t3
Quoted from the PostgreSQL Documentation:
split_part(string text, delimiter text, field int)
Split string on delimiter and return the given field (counting from
one)
I have a table TaggedData with the following fields and data
ID GroupID Tag MyData
** ******* *** ******
1 Texas AA01 Peanut Butter
2 Texas AA15 Cereal
3 Ohio AA05 Potato Chips
4 Texas AA08 Bread
I have a second table of BlockedTags as follows:
ID StartTag EndTag
** ******** ******
1 AA00 AA04
2 AA15 AA15
How do I select from this to return all data matching a given GroupId but NOT in any blocked range (inclusive)? For the data given if the GroupId is Texas, I don't want to return Cereal because it matches the second range. It should only return Bread.
I did try left joins based queries but I'm not even that close.
Thanks
create table TaggedData (
ID int,
GroupID varchar(16),
Tag char(4),
MyData varchar(50))
create table BlockedTags (
ID int,
StartTag char(4),
EndTag char(4)
)
insert into TaggedData(ID, GroupID, Tag, MyData)
values (1, 'Texas', 'AA01', 'Peanut Butter')
insert into TaggedData(ID, GroupID, Tag, MyData)
values (2, 'Texas' , 'AA15', 'Cereal')
insert into TaggedData(ID, GroupID, Tag, MyData)
values (3, 'Ohio ', 'AA05', 'Potato Chips')
insert into TaggedData(ID, GroupID, Tag, MyData)
values (4, 'Texas', 'AA08', 'Bread')
insert into BlockedTags(ID, StartTag, EndTag)
values (1, 'AA00', 'AA04')
insert into BlockedTags(ID, StartTag, EndTag)
values (2, 'AA15', 'AA15')
select t.* from TaggedData t
left join BlockedTags b on t.Tag between b.StartTag and b.EndTag
where b.ID is null
Returns:
ID GroupID Tag MyData
----------- ---------------- ---- --------------------------------------------------
3 Ohio AA05 Potato Chips
4 Texas AA08 Bread
(2 row(s) affected)
So, to match on given GroupID you change the query like that:
select t.* from TaggedData t
left join BlockedTags b on t.Tag between b.StartTag and b.EndTag
where b.ID is null and t.GroupID=#GivenGroupID
I Prefer the NOT EXISTS simply because it gives you more readability, usability and better performance usually in large data (several cases get better execution plans):
would be like this:
SELECT * from TaggedData
WHERE GroupID=#GivenGroupID
AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM BlockedTags WHERE Tag BETWEEN StartTag ANDEndTag)
I have two tables in a database. The first table tblTracker contains many columns, but the column of particular interest is called siteAdmin and each row in that column can contain multiple loginIDs of 5 digits like 21457, 21456 or just one like 21444. The next table users contains columns like LoginID, fname, and lname.
What I would like to be able to do is take the loginIDs contained in tblTracker.siteAdmin and return fname + lname from users. I can successfully do this when there is only one loginID in the row such as 21444 but I cannot figure out how to do this when there is more than one like 21457, 21456.
Here is the SQL statement I use for when there is one loginID in that column
SELECT b.FName + '' '' + b.LName AS siteAdminName,
FROM tblTracker a
LEFT OUTER JOIN users b ON a.siteAdmin= b.Login_Id
However this doesn't work when it tries to join a siteAdmin with more than one LoginID in it
Thanks!
I prefer the number table approach to split a string in TSQL
For this method to work, you need to do this one time table setup:
SELECT TOP 10000 IDENTITY(int,1,1) AS Number
INTO Numbers
FROM sys.objects s1
CROSS JOIN sys.objects s2
ALTER TABLE Numbers ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Numbers PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (Number)
Once the Numbers table is set up, create this split function:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FN_ListToTable]
(
#SplitOn char(1) --REQUIRED, the character to split the #List string on
,#List varchar(8000)--REQUIRED, the list to split apart
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
----------------
--SINGLE QUERY-- --this will not return empty rows
----------------
SELECT
ListValue
FROM (SELECT
LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(List2, number+1, CHARINDEX(#SplitOn, List2, number+1)-number - 1))) AS ListValue
FROM (
SELECT #SplitOn + #List + #SplitOn AS List2
) AS dt
INNER JOIN Numbers n ON n.Number < LEN(dt.List2)
WHERE SUBSTRING(List2, number, 1) = #SplitOn
) dt2
WHERE ListValue IS NOT NULL AND ListValue!=''
);
GO
You can now easily split a CSV string into a table and join on it:
select * from dbo.FN_ListToTable(',','1,2,3,,,4,5,6777,,,')
OUTPUT:
ListValue
-----------------------
1
2
3
4
5
6777
(6 row(s) affected)
Your can now use a CROSS APPLY to split every row in your table like:
DECLARE #users table (LoginID int, fname varchar(5), lname varchar(5))
INSERT INTO #users VALUES (1, 'Sam', 'Jones')
INSERT INTO #users VALUES (2, 'Don', 'Smith')
INSERT INTO #users VALUES (3, 'Joe', 'Doe')
INSERT INTO #users VALUES (4, 'Tim', 'White')
INSERT INTO #users VALUES (5, 'Matt', 'Davis')
INSERT INTO #users VALUES (15,'Sue', 'Me')
DECLARE #tblTracker table (RowID int, siteAdmin varchar(50))
INSERT INTO #tblTracker VALUES (1,'1,2,3')
INSERT INTO #tblTracker VALUES (2,'2,3,4')
INSERT INTO #tblTracker VALUES (3,'1,5')
INSERT INTO #tblTracker VALUES (4,'1')
INSERT INTO #tblTracker VALUES (5,'5')
INSERT INTO #tblTracker VALUES (6,'')
INSERT INTO #tblTracker VALUES (7,'8,9,10')
INSERT INTO #tblTracker VALUES (8,'1,15,3,4,5')
SELECT
t.RowID, u.LoginID, u.fname+' '+u.lname AS YourAdmin
FROM #tblTracker t
CROSS APPLY dbo.FN_ListToTable(',',t.siteAdmin) st
LEFT OUTER JOIN #users u ON st.ListValue=u.LoginID --to get all rows even if missing siteAdmin
--INNER JOIN #users u ON st.ListValue=u.LoginID --to remove rows without any siteAdmin
ORDER BY t.RowID,u.fname,u.lname
OUTPUT:
RowID LoginID YourAdmin
