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...

Problem using comma separated list with nested table element
Hi,
I have a comma separated list like that:
H23004,H24005,T7231,T8231,T9231And want to create a function which is creating a where clause for each element with an output like that:
UPPER('H23004') IN (UPPER(charge))
OR UPPER('H23005') IN (UPPER(charge))
OR UPPER('T7231') IN (UPPER(charge))
OR UPPER('T8231') IN (UPPER(charge))
OR UPPER('T9231') IN (UPPER(charge))Here is my test function which doesn't work correctly:
create or replace function FNC_LIST_TO_WHERE_CLAUSE(v_list in VARCHAR2) return varchar2 is
-- declaration of list type
TYPE batch_type IS TABLE OF pr_stamm.charge%TYPE;
-- variable for Batches
v_batch batch_type := batch_type('''' || replace(v_list,',',''',''') || '''');
return_script varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
-- loop as long as there are objects left
FOR i IN v_batch.FIRST .. v_batch.LAST
LOOP
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(offices(i));
-- create where clause
IF i = 1 THEN
return_script := 'UPPER(' || v_batch(i) || ') IN (UPPER(charge))';
ELSE
return_script := return_script || ' OR UPPER(' || v_batch(i) || ') IN (UPPER(charge))';
END IF;
END LOOP;
return (return_script);
end;The out put looks like that:
UPPER('H23004','H24005','T7231','T8231','T9231') IN (UPPER(charge))I have no idea what I do wrong? It calculates the amount of array element wrong! (v_batch.LAST should be 5.)
v_batch.FIRST = 1
v_batch.LAST = 1
Regards,
Tobiastry this....
declare
text varchar2(1000) := 'H23004,H24005,T7231,T8231,T9231';

text := text||',';
while instr(text,',') <> 0

Using comma separator in numeric variables
Hi Everyone,
In my movie i have a shopping cart which adds up a total of all items. When the total reaches more the 1000.00 i need to add in a comma separator as in 1,000.00 if i do this manually flash no longer see's the variable as a number, how do i get around this one?
Many Thanks
MattHi Ned,
Ok that sounds like a good idea but what coding would i need to accomplish this?

Read/Insert values from comma separated string
I need Stored procedure to insert values in table using comma separated values from string based on algorithm as below.
There are two table Mtable(Parent table), Ctable(Child table).
Value passed from String can be like_
1,A001,R1,C1,R2,C2,R3,C3
2,A002,X1,Y1,X2,Y2
3,A003,A1,B1,A2,B2,A3,B3
1)For line1 I need to insert in Mtable values(1,A001)
And in ctable I need to insert 3 rows with values
ROW1 (1,R1,C1)
ROW2 (1,R2,C2)
ROW3 (1,R3,C3)
2)For line2 I need to insert in Mtable values(2,A002)
And in ctable I need to insert 2 rows with values
ROW1 (2,X1,Y1)
ROW2 (2,X2,Y2)
Please help me to overcome this.

Flat files data comma separated using SSIS.
Hi,
I have multiple flat files which come in comma separated columns. See example below :
Customer Data
CustID,FName,LName,Disease,Email,Phone
12345,Xyz,Smit,Bronchitis, Asthma and fever,[email protected],80000000
12346,Abc,Doe,fever Headache,[email protected],90000000
12347,Klu,joe,Sugar, cough and fever,[email protected],12345678
Please look at the ID's 12345 and 12347. The disease column has a internal comma space between. How do i remove the comma spaces in the disease column, so that it can be loaded from flat file to sql table using SSIS. ?
Please help !
ThanksHere is a full solution base on my post above (first option)
1. create temp table (Give it a unique name):
create table #T (Txt NVARCHAR(MAX))
GO
2. Insert all the data into temporary table. Each line in the text file, is a value for one column in a row in the table.
-- I will jump to the table and use simple insert.
-- If you have problem with step 1 then please inform us (this is simple bulk insert basically)
insert #T (Txt) values
('1234435,Xyz,Stemit,Brfsdonchitis, Asthma and fever,[email protected],80000000'),
('12346,Agjdfjbc,Doge,fevhhhher Headsxdshhache,[email protected],90000000'),
('123447,Klu,joe,Sugar, cough and fever,[email protected],12345678')
GO
the result should be like this:
Txt
1234435,Xyz,Stemit,Brfsdonchitis, Asthma and fever,[email protected],80000000
12346,Agjdfjbc,Doge,fevhhhher Headsxdshhache,[email protected],90000000
123447,Klu,joe,Sugar, cough and fever,[email protected],12345678
I use a SPLIT Function named Split_CLR_Fn. This is a CLR Split function that get input <string to split> and <string as delimiter,> and it return table with 2 columns ID, SplitData
For example if you use: SELECT * from Split_CLR_Fn('text1,text2,text3,',') then you get result:
ID SplitData
1 Text1
2 Text2
3 Text3
** You can find in the internet several good functions, I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NOT TO USE T-SQL FUNCTIONS but CLR FUNCTION. Check thi link to understand why:
http://sqlperformance.com/2012/07/t-sql-queries/split-strings
** This is the best function that I know about and I use it, but I change the code a bit to return 2 columns and not just the SplitData as in this blog: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/adam_machanic/archive/2009/04/28/sqlclr-string-splitting-part-2-even-faster-even-more-scalable.aspx
That's it :-) we are ready for the solution which is very simple
Solution 1 (BAD solution but easy to write):
select
(select SplitData from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,',') where ID = 1) CustID,
(select SplitData from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,',') where ID = 2) FName,
(select SplitData from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,',') where ID = 3) LName,
STUFF((select ',' + SplitData from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,',') where ID > 3 and ID < (select MAX(ID) from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,',')) - 1 for XML path('')), 1 , 1,'') Disease,
(select SplitData from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,',') where ID = (select MAX(ID) from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,',')) - 1) Email,
(select SplitData from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,',') where ID = (select MAX(ID) from Split_CLR_Fn(Txt,','))) Phone
from #T
GO
Solution 2: better in this case since the format is constant (this is the solution I wrote about above)
;With MyCTE as (
select
Txt,
SUBSTRING(Txt, 1, CHARINDEX(',', Txt, 1) - 1) as CustID
, SUBSTRING(
Txt
,CHARINDEX(',', Txt, 1) + 1 -- I start from the end of preview len
, CHARINDEX(',', Txt, CHARINDEX(',', Txt, 1)+1)- CHARINDEX(',', Txt, 1) - 1
) as FName
, SUBSTRING(
Txt
,CHARINDEX(',', Txt, CHARINDEX(',', Txt, 1)+1)+1 -- I start from the end of preview len
, CHARINDEX(',', Txt, CHARINDEX(',', Txt, CHARINDEX(',', Txt, 1)+1)+1) - CHARINDEX(',', Txt, CHARINDEX(',', Txt, 1)+1) - 1
) as LName
, RIGHT(Txt, CHARINDEX(',', REVERSE(Txt), 1) - 1) as Phone
, RIGHT(LEFT(Txt, Len(Txt) - Len(RIGHT(Txt, CHARINDEX(',', REVERSE(Txt), 1) - 1)) - 1), CHARINDEX(',', REVERSE(LEFT(Txt, Len(Txt) - Len(RIGHT(Txt, CHARINDEX(',', REVERSE(Txt), 1) - 1)) - 1)), 1) - 1) as Email
from #T
select CustID,FName,LName, Phone, Email, SUBSTRING(Txt, Len(CustID) + Len(FName) + Len(LName) + 4, Len(Txt) - Len(Email) - LEN(Phone) - Len(CustID) - Len(FName) - Len(LName) - 5) as Disease
from MyCTE
I hope that this is useful :-)

Using comma (,) as a decimal separator
I know this isn't the right place to ask, but I cant get excel to use comma as a decimal separator.
All is set up right in system preferences and I still cant get it to work in excel.
So Im asking if any one know how to make the comma to be used for the decimal numbers and dot for thousands.
Or if any one can explain this to me, or better do it for me.

Many thanksHi, Sven.
You might want to search or post on the Excel group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS product users, including a variety of expert users.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
When you post your question there, be sure to state the version of Excel you are using.
Good luck!

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 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

UNION ALL

UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX224' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
select buyer, listagg(buyer_email,',') within group (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:
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2005.html#numbersasconcept
(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.

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,

File need to be read in different formats( Tab formatted, commas separated)
Hi All,
I am reading an input text file which can be in any of the format like tab formatted, commas separated or fixed format. How can i write a code to make it work for all these file format other than writing separately for the above three cases. Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Neslin.As far as seperators are concerned you may read entire file to stirng table, then identify separator (i.e. if you find tab mark, you assume it is tab separated; if you find ";" mark you assume this is a column separator). Use SEARCH or FIND statement and then (after having the separator) loop at string table and split each entry at this separator. If none of the above was find (no separator or fixed one) split according to given fixed format.
