SQL to match a single value in a field with comma-delimited text

I have a column that can contain none, one or many recordIDs
(from another table) stored as comma-delimited text strings (i.e.,
a list). I need to retrieve all records that match a single value
within that list.
For example, if I want to match all values that equal
recordID 3, and I use ... WHERE MyColumn IN ('3') ... , I will get
all records that have EXACTLY 3 as the value of MyColumn, but not
any MyColumn records whose values include 3, if they are instances
such as "3,17" or the like.
Also using the LIKE operator -- as WHERE MyColumn LIKE '%3%'
-- will get me unwanted records with values such as 35 or 13 ...
Can I use some sort of intervening ColdFusion list processing
to output only the desired records?

Form field with comma delimited value list to cfc

I have a form that passes a field to an action page with a
comma delimited value.
For instance the field name is: Program_ID
value for program_ID is: 31, 32
I am able to treat this variable as a list and check its
length, and loop over the list prior to passing it to a cfc using
the attached code:
When I try and pass the variable as a string to a cfc and
invoke a query, cf no longer recognizes my var as a list.
Therefore the code attached does not function...
Is there a specific var type that will pass through as a list
and allow me to run the code block attached?
thanks
Craig

Ok answered my own question.. Here is the answer for those
who are interested...
initialize var for cfc in cfinvoke statement
<cfinvokeargument name="Program_ID"
value="#Form.Program_ID#">
pass argument to cfc as a string
<cfargument name="Program_ID" type="string"
required="true">
use listqualify to parse list in cfc and set new var
<cfset selectedProgramID =
ListQualify(Program_ID,"'",",","CHAR")>
use the new var in the following statement in sql code:
((Program_ID) IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(selectedProgramID)#))
The following code handles a form field with a single value
or a comma delimited value.

Dynamic SQL query to get single value from list in a column

I have two tables: tblWorkers and tblSkills. tblWorkers has a
column, Skills, which is populated from a multiple-checkbox form
field with one or more skill_IDs from tblSkills, so each
tblWorkers.Skills consists of a list of one or more comma-delimited
values. For any Skill_ID, I need to generate a listing of all
Workers with the corresponding skill, so I have tried to do
something along the lines of SELECT WorkerName FROM tblWorkers
WHERE Skills IN (Skills, #FORM.Skill_ID#) ... or WHERE Skills IN
(ListFind(Skills, #FORM.Skill_ID#)) ... etc. ??? My results (once I
got data type mismatches out of the way) return all Workers, not
just those with the desired Skill. There must be an easy way to do
this ... How do people with a bit more CF/SQL experience than I
have do this???

ADF 11g- Selecting Maximum value of a field on Commit Button

Hi
I am trying to assign a value to a field on form by selecting max(id)+1 from database table on commit button.
It assign the value to field but try to commit before assigning value.
code is like this:-
public String commandButton2_action() { ////////////////a commit button.
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
commandButton3_action();////////////Retrieve the maximum value from database.
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
return null;
please do guide. what to do.
Regards
M Niaz

Thanks,
I know, that's why i am try to put this on save button instead on any other.
But this is not an issue whether to use sequence or max()+1. I can use sequence instead but even then i have to get the nextvalue on form before commit.
and i have to put that on commit button.
Commit but try to commit the form before getting anything from DB.

How to replace blank values in DATE field with 00000000

Hi
I have a DSO with Date field in which there are blank values. I want to replace the blank values in the DSO for date field with 00000000. Because of this blank values in the DSO the report is giving an ORA error.
How do we replace the blank values in the DSO for historical data and also the new loads?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Regards,
Pavan.

Hi Suman,
I'm trying to run a query built on a DSO. The DSO has a field 'Start Date'. This Start Date InfoObject has a reference Char as 0DATE.
This Start Field has blank values due to which I'm getting the ORA-01722 error. I came across many threads with same topic of discussion. As mentioned in one of the Threads I have written a program to update 'Start Date' with 00000000. The code wriiten is "UPDATE /BIC/AZ_MONINV00 SET /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = '00000000' where /BIC/ZSTR_DTE = ' '.
Now when I see the data in the active data table of DSO the blank value is replaced with '00000000'.
But If I right click on the DSO click on display data the 'Start Date' field is blank. And now the Query also gets executed without any error. But in the output of the query the 'Start Date' Field has "#" values.
Can anyone suggest on how to remove these "#" values in the report?

Displaying data from a list into a single field with comma separated values

Hi,
I have a requirement to change a report with an XML structure (simplified version) as below
<Protocol>
<ProtocolNumber>100</ProtocolNumber>
<SiteName>Baxter Building</SiteName>
<ListOfActivity>
<Activity>
<Description>Communication Memo Description.</Description>
<Name>James</Name>
</Activity>
<Activity>
<Description>Visit 4</Description>
<Name>James</Name>
</Activity>
<ListOfActivity/>
</Protocol>
On the report I need to display all the 'Names' for each of the Child (Activities) in a single field at the Parent (Protocol) level, with each Name separated by a comma.
How do I go about getting this to work?
Thanks

Take a look at this: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/inline_grouping
You could do this (ofcourse, you will need to add extra logic to ensure that there is no comma added after the last name..)
<?for-each@inlines:Name?><?.?><?', '?><?end for-each?>

Here "FOREIGN, NON US$ CORPORATE" is a column and contains a , in the value.
I have specified optionally enclosed with " also.. but still not working
Here is my control file:

trailing nullcols
TAX_LOT_DIM_ID "TO_NUMBER(:TAX_LOT_DIM_ID ,'999999999999999.99999999')",
TAX_LOT_NBR ,
TAX_LOT_ODS_ID "to_number(:TAX_LOT_ODS_ID ,'999999999999999.999999')",
RESTRICTION_IND ,
LAST_UPDATE_DTM "to_date(:LAST_UPDATE_DTM ,'mm/dd/yyyy')",

RESTRICTION_INFO ,
SRC_MGR_GRP_CD
For char columns , even i dont give any datatype, i think it will work.
And pblm is not with this hopefully.

How can I display only one value of a field with two or more values?

Post Author: skiabox
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have a field in my report with 2 or more values (depending of another field id).For example for id = 1 the report gives me 2 names in that field.For id = 3 the report gives me 3 names in that field.I want to display only one of these names in the id row.The selection of name is random.Thanks!

Hello Tim, would barely fit in this situation since this code resides on the client’s interaction side of things. I’d recommend using JavaScript for this matter, e.g. var Data_FName1 = document.getElementById(‘Data_FName1’).value;. If you still opt for using CFML, then you’d go for proxying your JavaScript code to a CFC.

Hi Soniya,
You can use one of the following:
IF SOURCE_FIELDS-DATETO = ' '.
RESULT = '20990101'.
ENDIF.
or
IF SOURCE_FIELDS-DATETO IS INITIAL.
RESULT = '20990101'.
ENDIF.
or
IF SOURCE_FIELDS-DATETO = '00000000'.
" THERE WAS A SPACE IN YOUR CODE.
RESULT = '20990101'.

Convert column values into a row with a delimiter

Hi Gurus,
This may be a trivial question to you. I have an internal table itab with a column called plant, internal table has 'n' records, by the end of loop, I need to convert the column into a row delimited by comma into one row (one field). This needs to be dynamic without hard-coding.
Plant
1000
2000
3000
4000
5000 ....
n....
Expected result of the field:
field1 value: 1000,2000,3000,4000,5000,...n
Let's set a limit to the field say it can hold upto 500 chars.
Thanks,
GP.

Hi,
I've already tried this:
ELSEIF <fs_dms_cv>-zca_cv_attr_ind = c_multiple.
w_plant = <fs_plant_ele>-werks.
concatenate w_string w_plant
                into w_string separated by c_delimiter.
      IF w_end_fl = c_on.
      w_tabname = <fs_dms_cv>-dbtabname.
       ASSIGN (w_tabname) TO <fs_tabname>.
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
         ASSIGN COMPONENT <fs_dms_cv>-name_komp OF
            STRUCTURE <fs_tabname> TO <fs_destination>.
                    IF sy-subrc = 0.
                      <fs_destination> = w_string.
                    ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
There are 2 issues here: One is that after first plant there will be two commas inserted, after that it's consistent. Secondly the key word concatenate is against our code standards.
Please let me know if there is any other way of doing this.
Thanks.

How to compare single value with multiple values

In my query I have something like this:
A.SOR_CD=B.SOR_CODE where A and B are 2 different tables. This condition is in the where clause. The column in table A has single values but some values in table B have multiple comma separated values (822, 869, 811, ..). I want to match this single
value on the left side with each of the comma separated values. Please let me know how will I be able to do it. The number of comma separated values on the right side may vary.

Hi MadRad123,
According to your description, you want to compare single value with multiple values in your query. Right?
In this scenario, the table B has comma separated values, however those comma separated values are concatenated into a string. So we can use charindex() function to return the index of the table A value. And use this index as condition in
your where clause. See the sample below:
CREATE TABLE #temp1(
ID nvarchar(50),
Name nvarchar(50))
INSERT INTO #temp1 VALUES
('1','A'),
('2','A'),
('3','A'),
('4','A'),
('5','A')
CREATE TABLE #temp2(
ID nvarchar(50),
Name nvarchar(50))
INSERT INTO #temp2 VALUES
('1','a,A'),
('2','A,B'),
('3','c'),
('4','A,C'),
('5','d')
select * from #temp1 a inner join #temp2 b on a.ID=b.ID
where CHARINDEX(a.Name,b.Name)>0
The result looks like below:
Reference:
CHARINDEX (Transact-SQL)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Compares single value content property to single value property

Hi,
I am using WLPS 3.2 with weblogic apps 5.1.
This is when regarding content selection rules. When u go into the rules
management and try to create a content selection rule : Then display content
based on:
we see 3 templates to choose from. Now if u look at template 2 it says
:Value with Property Example
This template compares a single-value content property to another
single-value property. content.investor_type equals user.investor_type
It says this template compares "single value" content property to another
"single-value property". What i did was set up a rule that comared a single
value content property to a "multiple" value user property (i.e. the user
property was allowed to have multiple values-check boxes). The rule was set
up fine. When i ran the rule with the <pz:contentselector> tag it dint
return the desired content object. Now if i set up the same rule to match a
single valued user property then it worked!!! Could you please let me know
why this happens and is this a limitation of the tool. What is an
alternative solution for me to compare a content property to a multi valued
user property.
Thanks,
--Kapil

Hi Kapil,
You're correct on all counts. This workaround does move the content
selection into the JSP, rather than using a rule -- which is not ideal.
Also, your suggestion to build one query string to cut down on the number of
database calls is a good improvement.

Hi Ginny,
I really appreciate ur response. This work around was not knew to me. Iwas
expecting a better work around from some reasons:
i) The definition of this rule is hard coded and not administered thu the
tools interface.
ii) There are multiple database calls for each property value retrieved
every time the <cm:select> tag is executed which is very expensive.
iii) The query that i build for the <cm:select> or <pz:contentQuery> tag
doesnt support the in statement.
My work around was something like this:
Build the query string first which would look something like this
CONTENT.interest like '*Science*' || CONTENT.interest like '*Astronomy*'
Then run the <cm:select> or <pz:contentQuery> tag so that i have only one
database call.
Considering the user has 2 interests chosen Science and astronomy. I usethe
like so that CONTENT can be tagged to accomodate multiple values which is
very possible in a real life situation. For eg: <meta name="interest"
content="Science,Astronomy" >
Is this a better work around or am i totally out of line.
Thanks for your help and time

"Ginny Peterson" <[email protected]> wrote in message

Hi Kapil,
Yes -- this is a limitation with the phrase templates. The "Value with
Property" phrase template compares a single-value content property to
another single-value property. What's key here (and often overlooked)
is
that fact that the property you're using must be a single-valueproperty.
>>
There is a workaround using the <cm:select> tag rather than the <pz>tags.
Basically, it involves getting a list of the values for yourmultiple-value
property, and iterating over that list, selecting the content for each
of
the items in the list.
Here's some sample code. Assume you have a text, multiple, unrestricted
property called "MyInterests" in property set "TestPropertySet"; a user
might have values like this: "Science, Astronomy, Cooking".
<%@ page extends="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.p13n.jsp.P13NJspBase"%>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.content.ContentHelper"%>
<%@ taglib uri="es.tld" prefix="es" %>
<%@ taglib uri="cm.tld" prefix="cm" %>
<%@ taglib uri="um.tld" prefix="um" %>

<%
String userName = (String)getSessionValue(SERVICEMANAGER_USER,request);
String groupName = (String)getSessionValue(SERVICEMANAGER_SUCCESSOR,
request);
%>

<%
// Check to see if logged in, then getProfile for the user with groupas
successor
if(getLoggedIn(request))
%>
<um:getProfile scope="session" profileKey="<%= userName %>"
successorKey="<%= groupName %>" />
<%
else // use the default profile for the group
%>
<um:getProfile scope="session" profileKey="<%= groupName %>"
groupOnly="true" />
<%
%>

<um:getProperty id="areas" propertySet="TestPropertySet"
propertyName="MyInterests" />
<br><br>Interests for <%= userName %>:
<%
// Multi-valued properties are retrieved as an ArrayList, so cast to a
Collection so we can iterate through
Collection c = (Collection)areas;
String queryString;
Iterator i = c.iterator();
while(i.hasNext())
String nextVal = (String)i.next();
queryString = "CONTENT.interests == '" + nextVal + "'";
%>
<cm:select contentHome="<%= ContentHelper.DEF_CONTENT_MANAGER_HOME %>"
query="<%= queryString %>" id="docList"/>
<es:forEachInArray id="aDoc" array="<%= docList %>"
type="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.content.Content">
<li>Matched document message:
<cm:printProperty id="aDoc" name="message" encode="html"/>
</es:forEachInArray>
<%
%>
FYI, this limitation is not present in WLCS 3.5; it's much more flexiblein
terms of using mutli-valued properties (and multi-valued meta tags) in
rules.
I hope this helps!
