SQL Select with comma separated column value

Hi All
ASP VBScript
I have a DB column named allowed_contracts that stores a
comma separated
list of of values e.g. 3, 5, 19, 44, 52
I need to select records based on a variable called
varContractList that
contains another comma separated list i.e. 5, 44, 52
I only want to select records where the allowed_contracts
column contains
each of the varContractList,
For example only return records that have 5 or 44 or 52 in
thier
allowed_contracts column.
My brain is now in a persistant vegetive state trying to work
this out so
any ideas would be much appreciated.
Regards
Bren

Hi Jules
Cheers for this.
I was trying to be a bit cute (lazy even) by storing the
project ID's as a
comma delimted string but as we see it doesn't always pay to
be lazy. Serves
me right for destroying brain cells by drinking the Welshpool
beer the other
week whilst visiting mates down that neck of the woods. :-))
Time for another table me thinks.

Sql select with concate of columns SP2-0734: unknown command beginning

I am running a ksh script that does some dumpster diving and pull records out.
It is basically reading a file does a select and at the end, you will see $i.
AND ORD_ORDER.ADV_ORDER_TEXT_FIELD_568='$';
I can run the script manually. (without the while loop)
But, when I run it thru the script I get a whack of errors.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "FROM ADVXR..." - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "ADVXRT_HDB..." - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "ADVXRT_HDB..." - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "ADVXRT_HDB..." - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0044: For a list of known commands enter HELP
and to leave enter EXIT.
What I need it to do is pull the selected records out and place in a file.

Query on column with comma separated values

I have a proposed table with unnormalized data like the following:
ID COLA COLB REFLIST
21 xxx zzz 24,25,78,412
22 xxx xxx 21
24 yyy xxx 912,22
25 zzz fff 433,555,22
.. ... ... ...There are 200 million rows. There is maximum of about 10 IDs in the REFLIST, though typically two or three. How could I efficiently query this data on the REFLIST column? e.g. something like:
SELECT id FROM mytable WHERE :myval in reflistLogically there is a many to many relationship between rows in this table. The REFLIST column contains pointers to ID values elsewhere in the table. The data could be normalized so that the relationship keys are in a separate table (in fact this is the current solution that we want to change).
ID REF
21 24
21 25
21 78
21 412
22 21
24 912
... ...The comma separated list seems instinctively like a bad idea, however there are various reasons for proposing it. The main reason is because the source for this data has it structured like the REFLIST example. It is an OLTP-like system rather than a data warehouse. The source code (and edit performance) would benefit greatly from not having to maintain the relationship table as the data changes.
Going back to querying the REFLIST column, the problem seems to be building an approriate index for the data. The ideas proposed so far are:
<li>Make a materialized view that presents the relationships as normalized (e.g. as in the example with ID, REF columns above), then index the plain column - the various methods of writing the view SQL have been widely posted.
<li>Use a Oracle Text Index (not something I have ever had call to use before).
Any other ideas? Its Oracle 10.2, though 11g could be possible.
Thanks
Jim

One column having multiple values with comma separator.

Hey Guys,
In my db, one culmn having multiple values with comma separator. like column_name = 'value1,value2,value3'. Now I want to compare this column to another column and fetch in Cursor.
and each value having corresponding email_id, By fetching cursor, I need to populate email_ids.
Thanks in advance!!
-Lakshman

Please compare and fetch cursor and populate result with out extract data into temp table. Give me the query!You have not provided DDL for table so I don't know table or column name to write any SQL.
You have not provided DML for test data to run SQL against.

Adding a parameter with comma separated having different values

i want to add a parameter with comma separated having different values of a column. e.g i have column having values from 10000 to 99999. i want to create report for the selected values of 11111,12111,131111 etc. This selection can be one or more values as desired. Second problem is restricting the records as per parameter.

Reports doesn't allow multi-selection of a parameter in its parameter form. You need to use Oracle*Forms or an HTML Form to front end more advanced parameter form options.
However, you could have multiple parameters and combine their selections into a single parameter in the after parameter form trigger. This would at least allow you to give the user the option for selecting up to 'n' parameters. The single parameter would have to be of type "character" and you probably want to add appropriate quotes around the values in the after parameter form trigger.
Second problem is restricting the records as per parameter. Once you've got the comma seperated values into a single parameter (say p_myValues with a default value of '') then you can just use a lexical parameter to restrict the values as in:
select * from emp
where to_char(empno) in (&p_myValues)

Comma separated column into rows for each value

experts,
I have a two column table. The second column has comma separated string values. How can I put the values separate for each comma separated and make one row for each value?
example,
column1 |   StringColumn
s1          |   test, joy, happy
s2          | USA, England, India
I want the result to be like below
column1   |    StringColumn
s1            |      test
s1            |      joy
s1            |      happy
s2            |     USA
s2            |     England
s2            |     India
thanks in advance

Currency with comma separator

Hi all ,
I have a currency filed TFULLVACWTG. I am summing all values like this
TFULLVACWTG = VFWTG001 + VFWTG002 + VFWTG003 + VFWTG004 + VFWTG005 . iam getting output like this 14092.00 i should get output like this 14,092.00
I should write output with comma separator .is there any key word or f.m for this one?

Hi Priya,
You have two options.
1) Changes in user master record ie change thousand separator as , and decimal separator as .(dot).
You can do this with transaction SU3.
2) If you dont want to change master record then try with this code.
DATA VC_TFULLVACWTG(18).
VC_TFULLVACWTG = TFULLVACWTG.
TRANSLATE VC_TFULLVACWTG USING ',#'.
TRANSLATE VC_TFULLVACWTG USING '.,'.
TRANSLATE VC_TFULLVACWTG USING '#.'.
WRITE VC_TFULLVACWTG.
Thanks,
Vinay

"but the sad thing is, that managers will most likely respond with a "This used to be fast in MSSQL, but now it isn't any more in Oracle. Oracle is so slow ...""
On the bright side, it sounds like most of the database calls are implemented as stored procedures, so there is an opportunity to do it right (in Oracle terms) in the stored procedures.
I did a similar conversion a while back, converting bad SQLServer procedures to good Oracle procedures. Everyone said "Oracle is much faster that SQLServer"

SQL - Multiple Fetch into Single Column with Comma Separator

Hello Experts,
Good Day to all...
I need your help on following scenarios. The below query returns set of titleID strings. Instead of printing them one below the other as query output, I want the output to be in batch of 25 values.i.e each row should have 25 values separated by comma. i.e If there are 100 titles satisfying the output, then there should be only four rows with and each row having 25 titles in comma separated manner.
SELECT DISTINCT title_id
           FROM pack_relation
          WHERE package_id IN (      SELECT DISTINCT fa.package_id
                                                FROM annotation fa
                                            GROUP BY fa.package_id
                                              HAVING COUNT
                                                        (fa.package_id) <100);I tried with the PL/SQL block; whereas it is printing all the values continously :(
I need to stop with 25 values and display.
If its possible with SQL block alone; then it would be of great help
DECLARE
   v_str   VARCHAR2 (32767) := NULL;
   CURSOR c1
   IS
     SELECT DISTINCT title_id
           FROM pack_relation
          WHERE package_id IN (      SELECT DISTINCT fa.package_id
                                                FROM annotation fa
                                            GROUP BY fa.package_id
                                              HAVING COUNT
                                                        (fa.package_id) <100);
BEGIN
   FOR i IN c1
   LOOP
      v_str := v_str || ',' || i.title_id;
   END LOOP;
   v_str := SUBSTR (v_str, 2);
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (v_str);
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Error-->' || SQLERRM);
END;Thanks...

You can use CEIL
Sample code

    LTRIM(MAX(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(val,',')) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY curr),',') AS concat_val
FROM
        SELECT

            ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY nt ORDER BY val) -1 AS prev

Slight modification to cater for strings beginning and ending with commas.

Comma Separated columns - Search

Hi fellow,
I need to query my db with a comma separated list but the results are not correct...What is the reason?
My typical db problem_code column has valuas as :
Problem_code
1
2,3
5,6,7,8
5
And the list values I am sending as ("1","3")...etc
SELECT * from table
whereproblem_code in ('2','1')problem_code in ('2','1')
Thank you in advance..

If you're sking SQL questions, you'd better off asking on a SQL forum. But here you are, so let's have a look at it.
Firstly, the other thing to always mention when raising an SQL question is to articulate what DB system you're using. Because all of them handle SQL differently, and have their own extensions.
In fact reading this is probably a good idea: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Problem_code
1
2,3
5,6,7,8
5
And the list values I am sending as ("1","3")...etc
SELECT * from table
whereproblem_code in ('2','1')problem_code in ('2','1')
Thank you in advance..
What are you seeing here that's not expected (I presume the double-up of problem_code in ('2','1') is a typo)?
Are you wanting to get any rows from TABLE which have either 1 or 2 in them? That's not what you're asking for in your WHERE statement though, is it?
Really, you should be normalising your data, because whilst you can write contorted logic to do what you need here, it will not perform well and certainly will not scale. So it for be somewhat poor practice to perpetuate the current situation if it's at all possible not to. The best thing to do is to normalise your data and refactor your code. Which will probably mean going to your boss and say "this DB schema is f*cked, and needs reworking. Needs reworking".
Depending on your DB system, you're probably going to need to loop over the list you want to filter on and do a "WHERE problem_code LIKE" on each element of the list. I think Oracle can do the sort of query you want to do - match elements of one list from another list - but I'm not sure.

How to convert colon separated column values in multiple rows in report

Hi All,
I want to display colon separated values from a column, in a multi row in report.
For example i have a column1 in a table with value 'A:B:C' , column2 has value '1'.
i want to show in a report three rows using these two columns like
column1 column2
A 1
B 1
C 1

Here's one way:
SQL> create table test (col1 varchar2(20), col2 number);
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2    into test values ('A:B:C', 1)
3    into test values ('Dg:Ezs', 2)
4 select * from dual;
2 rows created.
SQL> select
2    t.col2,
3    regexp_substr(t.col1, '\w+', 1, t2.column_value) c1
4 from test t,
5    table(cast(multiset(select level
6                        from dual
7                        connect by level <= length(t.col1) - length(replace(t.col1, ':', '')) + 1
8                       ) as sys.odcinumberlist )) t2
9 order by 2, 1;
      COL2 C1
         1 A
         1 B
         1 C
         2 Dg
         2 Ezs
