Powershell ADODB Recordset getstring comma separated

I am having problems with the getstring method of the Adodb.recordset object in Powershell
I wish to output a comma-separated string of a persisted recordset. I am not entirely sure the correct syntax for the getstring method
when I write the following
$objRecordset.Getstring(,,",",,)
I get the following error
Missing ')' in method call.
At :line:1 char:25
+ $objRecordset.Getstring(, <<<< ,",",,)
The full code is below
$adOpenStatic = 3
$adLockOptimistic = 3
$objRecordset = New-Object -comobject ADODB.Recordset
## where Modeldata.rs is recordset save to ADTG file
$objRecordset.Open("Modeldata.rs" , "Provider=MSPersist",$adOpenStatic,$adLockOptimistic)$objRecordset.MoveFirst()
## outputs a tab delimited string by default
$objRecordset.Getstring()
## output a comma delimited string
$objRecordset.Getstring(,,",",,)
## returns the following error
##Missing ')' in method call.
##At :line:1 char:25
##+ $objRecordset.Getstring(, <<<< ,",",,)
$objRecordset.Close()
Can you please help?
If this is not possible, is there a suitable workaround?

Thanks, jrv. That set me on the right track. I discovered also that I needed to enter a value for the second parameter (NumRows)
as well. To return all records, I need to enter -1.
$objRecordset.Getstring(2,-1,",")

Using Comma-Separated Selector

I am building a site with products that can have different colors.
Some products share colors.
I am using the Comma-Separated Selector to select the available colors for each product from a list.
My problem is showing each product and the colors available for each product.
How do I create a recordset that pulls only the colors I need from the colors table based on the comma separated feild from the products table?
Thanks for any help or point in the right direction.

Difficult to say without seeing how your database is planned
Nested region? - probably not
take a look at the MYSQL query with uses
HAVING IN (items in a comma separated list, item, item, etc)
this is the same approach as the article you mentioned
also a similar problem (possibly) mentioned here...

Hi,
I need to Convert Comma separated data in a column into individual rows from a table.
Eg: JOB1 SMITH,ALLEN,WARD,JONES
OUTPUT required ;-
JOB1 SMITH
JOB1 ALLEN
JOB1 WARD
JOB1 JONES
Got a solution using Oracle provided regexp_substr function, which comes handy for this scenario.
But I need to use a database independent solution
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

MODEL clause to process a comma separated string

Hi,
I'm trying to parse a comma separated string using SQL so that it will return the parsed values as rows;
eg. 'ABC,DEF GHI,JKL' would return 3 rows;
'ABC'
'DEF GHI'
'JKL'
I'm thinking that I could possibily use the MODEL clause combined with REGULAR expressions to solve this as I've already got a bit of SQL which does the opposite ie. turning the rows into 1 comma separated string;
select id, substr( concat_string, 2 ) as string
from (select 1 id, 'ABC' string from dual union all select 1, 'DEF GHI' from dual union all select 1, 'JKL' from dual)
model
return updated rows
partition by ( id )
dimension by ( row_number() over (partition by id order by string) as position )
measures ( cast(string as varchar2(4000) ) as concat_string )
rules
upsert
iterate( 1000 )
until ( presentv(concat_string[iteration_number+2],1,0) = 0 )
( concat_string[0] = concat_string[0] || ',' || concat_string[iteration_number+1] )
order by id;
Can anyone give me some pointers how to parse the comma separated string using regexp and create as many rows as needed using the MODEL clause?

Yes, you could do it without using ITERATE, but FOR ... INCREMENT is pretty much same loop. Couple of improvements:
a) there is no need for CHAINE measure
b) there is no need for CASE in RULES clause
c) NVL can be applies on measures level
with t as (select 1 id, 'ABC,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF GHI,JKL,DEF,GHI,JKL' string from dual

How to get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

In VB6 I have this code to get a disconnected ADODB Recordset from a Oracle 9i database (the Oracle Client is 10g):
Dim conSQL As ADODB.Connection
Dim comSQL As ADODB.Command
Dim recSQL As ADODB.Recordset
Set conSQL = New ADODB.Connection
With conSQL
.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Password=<pwd>;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=<uid>;Data Source=<dsn>"
.CursorLocation = adUseClientBatch
.Open
End With
Set comSQL = New ADODB.Command
With comSQL
.ActiveConnection = conSQL
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.CommandText = "P_PARAM.GETALLPARAM"
.Properties("PLSQLRSet").Value = True
End With
Set recSQL = New ADODB.Recordset
With recSQL
Set .Source = comSQL
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.CursorType = adOpenStatic
.LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic
.Open
.ActiveConnection = Nothing
End With
The PL/SQL Procedure is returning a REF CURSOR like this:
PROCEDURE GetAllParam(op_PARAMRecCur IN OUT P_PARAM.PARAMRecCur)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN op_PARAMRecCur FOR
SELECT *
FROM PARAM
ORDER BY ANNPARAM DESC;
END GetAllParam;
When I try to update some values in the ADODB Recordset (still disconnected), I get the following error:
Err.Description: Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value.
Err.Number: -2147217887 (80040E21)
Err.Source: Microsoft Cursor Engine
The following properties on the Command object doesn't change anything:
.Properties("IRowsetChange") = True
.Properties("Updatability") = 7
How can I get an updatable ADODB Recordset from a Stored Procedure?

I was having then same problem.
Finally, I've found how to "touch" the requierd bits.
Obviously, it's hardcore, but since some stupid at microsoft cannot understand the use of a disconnected recordset in the real world, there is no other choice.

How to get distinct values in a comma separated list of email addresses?

Hi Friends,
I have a cursor which fetches email address along with some other columns. More than one record can have same email address.
Ex
CURSOR C1 IS
SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX123' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX223' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX124' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX224' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dualNow, i open the cursor write the contents into a file and also form a comma separated list of buyer emails as follows
for cur_rec in c1
LOOP
--write contents into a file
l_buyer_email_list := l_buyer_email_list||cur_rec.buyer_email||',';
END LOOP
l_buyer_email_list := RTRIM(l_buyer_email_list,',');
The buyer email list will be like: '[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]'
Inorder to avoid duplicate email address in the list, i can store each of this value is a table type variable and compare in each iteration whether the email already exist in the list or not.
Is there any other simpler way to achieve this?
Regards,
Sreekanth Munagala.

If you are using oracle version 11, you can use listagg function
with c as
(SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX123' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX223' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX124' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX224' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
select buyer, listagg(buyer_email,',') within group (order by buyer)
from c
group by buyer
order by buyerFor prior versions
{cod}
with c as
(SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX123' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX223' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX124' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX224' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
select buyer, rtrim(xmlagg(xmlelement(e,buyer_email||',').extract('//text()')),',')
from c
group by buyer
order by buyer

Obtaining comma-separated list of text values associated with bitwise flag column

In the table msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps, there is a [flags] column, which is a bit array with the following possible values:
0: Overwrite output file
2: Append to output file
4: Write Transact-SQL job step output to step history
8: Write log to table (overwrite existing history)
16: Write log to table (append to existing history)
32: Include step output in history
64: Create a Windows event to use as a signal for the Cmd jobstep to abort
I want to display a comma-separated list of the text values for a row. For example, if [flags] = 12, I want to display 'Write Transact-SQL job step output to step history, Write log to table (overwrite existing history)'.
What is the most efficient way to accomplish this?

Here is a query that gives the pattern:
DECLARE @val int = 43
;WITH numbers AS (
   SELECT power(2, n) AS exp2 FROM (VALUES(0), (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6)) AS n(n)
), list(list) AS (
   SELECT
   (SELECT CASE WHEN exp2 = 1 THEN 'First flag'
WHEN exp2 = 2 THEN 'Flag 2'
WHEN exp2 = 4 THEN 'Third flag'
WHEN exp2 = 8 THEN 'IV Flag'
WHEN exp2 = 16 THEN 'Flag #5'
WHEN exp2 = 32 THEN 'Another flag'
WHEN exp2 = 64 THEN 'My lucky flag'
   END + ', '
FROM   numbers
WHERE exp2 & @val = exp2
ORDER BY exp2
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'nvarchar(MAX)')
SELECT substring(list, 1, len(list) - 1)
FROM   list
Here I'm creating the numbers on the fly, but it is better to have a table of numbers in your database. It can be used in many places, see here for a short discussion:

(Only read down to the next header.)
For FOR XML PATH thing is the somewhat obscure way we create concatenated lists. There is not really any using trying to explain how it works; it just works. The one thing to keep in mind is that it adds an extra comma at the end and the final query strips
it off.
This query does not handle that 0 has a special meaning - that is left as an exercise to the reader.

Combine data from a table and insert to another in comma separated format

In my SQL database table i have some data as shown below.
KNO Course Grade Institution
124 BTECH First IIT Calicut
128 BE First KKS Institute
124 CCNA Q NIIT Delhi
124 DDCN Q Appl Calicut
128 DIT A NIIT Delhi
128 VB Q IICM Delhi
i want this courses to be arranged as sample given under to a table named mainpers
KNO Course
124 BTECH[First], CCNA[Q],DDCN[Q]
128 BE[First], DIT[A], VB[Q]
I am a System Administrator at Vadodara

You can do this in SQL.
with cte as (
select distinct KNO
from Table1
select KNO
, Stuff(
(select ',' + Course + '[' + Grade + ']'
from Table1
where Table1.KNO = cte.KNO
for xml path ('')
), 1, 1, '') as Course
from cte

Exporting Metadata (caption information) from JPEGS to a comma separated value (CSV) file

Here is my dilemma. I am an archivist at an arts organization and we are in the process of digitizing many of our materials to post them on the web and make them available to internet users. One of the principle components of our collection is a large trove of photographs. We have been in the process of digitizing these images and embedding metadata (in the Caption/Description, Author/Photographer and Copyright fields) via PhotoShops File Info command.
Now I am at a crossroads. We need to extract this metadata and transfer it into a comma separated value form, like an Excel spreadsheet or a FileMakerPro database. I have been told that it is not possible to do this through PhotoShop, that I must run a script through Acrobat or Bridge. I have no clue how to do this. I have been directed to a couple of links.
First I was directed to this (now dead) link: http://www.barredrocksoftware.com/products.html
The BSExportMetadata script allegedly exports the metadata from files selected in Adobe's Bridge into a comma separated value (CSV) file suitable for import into Excel, Access and most database programs. It installs as a Bridge menu item making it simple to use. The the Export Metadata script provides you with an easy to use wizard allowing you to select associated information about a set of images that you can then export. This script requires Creative Suite 2 (CS2). This script sounds like it does exactly what I want to do, but unfortunately, it no longer exists.
Then I found this:
Arnold Dubin, "Script to Export and Import Keywords and Metadata" #13, 8 Aug 2005 7:23 am
I tried this procedure, but nothing seemed to happen. I also tried to copy the script into the JAVASCRIPT action option in Acrobat, but I received a message that the script had an error. It also seems to me that this script does not set up a dumping point, that is, a file into which this information will be exported to.
I am a novice, not a code writer or a programmer/developer. I need a step-by-step explanation of how to implement this filtering of information. We have about 2000 jpeg and tiff files, so I would rather not go through each file and copy and paste this information elsewhere. I need to find out how to create a batch process that will do this procedure for me. Can anyone help?

Hello -
Is anyone aware of a tool that will do the above that is available for mac? Everything I've found so far seems to be PC only.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Comma Separated Value Taking too Much Time to Execute

Hi,
select ES_DIAGNOSIS_CODE DC from ecg_study WHERE PS_PROTOCOL_ID LIKE 'H6L-MC-LFAN'
The above query returns comma separated value from the above query.
I am using the query below to split the comma separated value but the below query is taking lot of time to return the data.
SELECT
select DC from (
with t as ( select ES_DIAGNOSIS_CODE DC from ecg_study WHERE PS_PROTOCOL_ID LIKE 'H6L-MC-LFAN' )
select REGEXP_SUBSTR (DC, '[^,]+', 1, level) DC from t
connect by level <= length(regexp_replace(DC,'[^,]*'))+1 )
Please suggest me is there any alternative way to do this comma separated value.
Thanks

Hi BluShadow,
I know that this function is fast with varchar2 strings from several years of using it. With CLOBs one may need something faster, but the OP didn't menion CLOBs.
Best regards,
NikolayJust because you perceive it to be fast doesn't mean it's faster than doing it in SQL alone.
For starters you are context switching from the SQL engine to PL/SQL to call it.
Then in your code you are doing this...
select substr(v_str,v_last_break+1, decode(v_nxt_break,0,v_length, v_nxt_break-v_last_break-1)) into v_result from dual;which is context switching back from the PL/SQL engine to the SQL engine for each entry in the string.
Why people do that I don't know... when PL/SQL alone could do it without a context switch e.g.
v_result := substr(v_str,v_last_break+1, case when v_nxt_break = 0 then v_length else v_nxt_break-v_last_break-1 end);So, if you still think it's faster than pure SQL (which is what the OP is using), please go ahead and prove it to us.

SSRS Report : Comma Separated Hyperlinks

Hello,
I want to display Comma Separated Hyperlinks in SSRS Report. I am not sure what should I change here to get this working.
Below is the flow of data.
1. Extracting value from the SharePoint List using SSIS Package Script component and filling data in SQL Table.
I have used this Table and created below view to stuff all these three links together.
SELECT ID, STUFF
((SELECT ', ' + BCM.BCMProgramDocument
FROM BCMProgramDocumentation BCM
WHERE BCM.Risk = R.ID FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, '') AS BCMDoc
FROM Risk R
which gives me below output, not sure why.
"<a href='http://yahoo.com'>YAHOO</a>", "<a href='http://gmail.com'>GMAIL</a>", "<a href='http://hotmail.com'>HOTMAIL</a>"
Then in the SSRS Reporting, I have placed a PlaceHolder with HTML View selected and gave above field value in the expression.
They are not appearing as comma separated Hyperlinks.
Can anyone please help me on this ? What are the changes required in above steps ?
Thank you,
Mittal.

Hi Mittal,
According to your description, you want to show three links together with comma separated from BCMProgramDocument column to a report table. After testing the issue in my environment, we can refer to the following steps to achieve your requirement:
Use the following query create a dataset:
select * from BCMProgramDocumentation
Click Fields in the left pane, add a Calculated Field as below:
Field Name: ID2 Field Source: 1
Drag a table to design surface, then insert the expression below in the detail row:
=JOIN(lookupset(Fields!ID2.Value,Fields!ID2.Value,Fields!BCMProgramDocument.Value,"DataSet1"),",")
Right-click the Placeholder to open Placeholder Properties, then select ‘HTML-Interpret HTML tags as styles’ as Markup type.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
