Yes.
Did you try searching for a solution yourself before you posted? A quick search on Google will give you plenty of information.

Hello
Does anyone know how to get child rows of a row as a string?
I mean, lets say that i have 3 tables:
Students, Courses, and Student_Courses to track the courses that each student is taking
Each student can take many courses at the same time
What i want to retrive is:
Column 1 Column2
Alex 'Course1, Course2, Course3, Course6'
Alexei 'Course3, Course6'
Alexa 'Course2, Course3, Course6'
I dont want to use cursors and i would prefer to do this in SQL server
Im only wondering if SQL has a intruction to acomplish this or if anyone knows an easy way to do this
Thanks for your time

Try this:
<br />
create table student (StudentID int, Name varchar(50))<br />
create table student_course (StudentID int, CourseID int)<br />
create table course (CourseID int, Name varchar(50))<br />
<br />
insert into student select 1,'Fred'<br />
insert into student select 2,'Joe'<br />
insert into student select 3,'Mary'<br />
<br />
insert into course select 1,'Maths'<br />
insert into course select 2,'Cooking'<br />
insert into course select 3,'Languages'<br />
<br />
insert into student_course select 1,1<br />
insert into student_course select 1,3<br />
insert into student_course select 2,1<br />
insert into student_course select 3,1<br />
insert into student_course select 3,2<br />
insert into student_course select 3,3<br />
<br />
go<br />
<br />
<br />
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetStudentCourses(@StudentID int)<br />
RETURNS VARCHAR(1000) AS<br />
<br />
BEGIN<br />
DECLARE @CourseList varchar(1000)<br />
<br />
SELECT @CourseList = COALESCE(@CourseList + ', ', '') + c.Name<br />
FROM Student_Course s, Course c<br />
WHERE s.StudentID = @StudentID<br />
and c.CourseID = s.CourseID<br />
<br />
RETURN @CourseList<br />
END<br />
go<br />
<br />
<br />
select Name,dbo.udf_GetStudentCourses(StudentID)<br />
from Student
Results:
Fred Maths, Languages
Joe Maths
Mary Maths, Cooking, Languages

SITUATION:
An external process (web server) writes one row into a table (WipTable) in my SQL 2005 server, and it takes too much time for my 'INSERT' trigger to execute in once, since the data process and checking is big and time consuming.
This 'INSERT' trigger to this 'WipTable' need to end quickly, but, the trigger takes too much time to finish the transaction. The only step required at this stage is updating a 'confirmation status' field into the table.
My goal is simple:  avoiding the big delay before COMMITTING the first stage of the transaction, and instead split the task in 2 parts (like an Interrupt Service Routine would react):
1) first, do the simple things that place some data (to put a 'CONFIRMATION' status) and write one 'row task' into another table (RequestTable). Then, the RequestTable's TRIGGER would do the rest of the work in ANOTHER transaction.
2) The second table that would then be triggered would take more time to execute but
QUESTION:
How to 'force' the real and effective completion of the transaction, so that another (longer) transaction could begin just after it (being in fact 'triggered' by the first transaction because of an INSERT into a second table possessing an 'INSERT' trigger) ? 
|

I'm pretty sure a trigger won't accomplish that.
You could deposit your data in a table and another process (a Windows Service perhaps) could process it into the other tables.

Thanks for trying to help me.
I finally resorted the problem in using a scheduled job to do the "very" long part.
In summary:
-----------
Part 1) The trigger validates and gets the basics infos for the part 2 as a future work, and places all required entries into a 'REQUEST' table, and QUIT quickly.
Part 2) When the job is activated (could be 1-5 minutes later, for now), the rest of the long searches and inserts are done. Also, the 'request' entries are deletes after work completion.
In the future, I may consider creating a job 'on-the-fly' just before quitting the trigger, we'll see...
Thanks again.

Hello all
Im trying to figure out an easy way to retrieve records using a simple query like:
SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ProductID IN (3,5,7,9)
This works, but what i need is to store the numbers (3,5,7,9) or any other combination in another table field and execute the select statement with something like the following:
SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ProductID IN (SELECT NumbersField FROM MyTable WHERE Field=@MyParam)
This gives me a syntax error:
Syntax error converting the varchar value '3,5,7,9' to a column of data type int.
Ill appeciate any help
Thanks in advance

To get this to work, you would need to construct a dynamic SQL statement in a (n)varchar variable and execute it using the EXECUTE command.

Thanks for your help, this will save a lot of work 
This is how it looks:
<br />
declare @string varchar(1000)<br />
select @string=movieids from test where X = 1<br />
EXECUTE ('SELECT * FROM movies WHERE movie_id IN ('+ @string +')')<br />
I wonder what the difference is between EXE and EXECUTE??
Both of them work

There's no command called EXE. I assume you mean EXEC. If you had read the documentation, you would know that EXEC is the shorthand syntax for EXECUTE.

I have a table called ACCOUNT. The ACCOUNT table contains details of Customers and Customer Head Office accounts. The columns are as follows
AccountId
HeadOfficeId
ImportedId
ImportedHeadOfficeId
What I need to do is update the HeadOfficeId with AccountId where ImportedHeadOfficeId = ImportedId.
Any help appreicated.
Thanks

The solution came to be in a moment of clarity :-
UPDATE ACCOUNT SET HeadOfficeId = (SELECT PsAccount.AccountId FROM ACCOUNT As PsAccount WHERE PsAccount.ImportedId= ACCOUNT.ImportedHeadOfficeId)

Update Account<br />
set HeadOfficeId = AccountId <br />
where ImportedHeadOfficeId = ImportedId
Unless I'm missing something?

Thanks for the reply Bob. What I did not make clear in my original post is that HeadOfficeId should relate to another row within the same table.
I have actually, managed to sort it myself, but thanks again for taking the time to help.

set markup HTML on
spool index.html
SELECT * FROM pap_in_indexmaster;
spool off
set markup HTML off
I want to execute this script, as it is, so that it does the spool command as it has been scripted to do. I want to execute this script in asp.net....
How Can I do that??
or
any alternative to display the query result in HTML table view in HTML page..??
|
|
|
|
|
The spool command (and I think the set commands too) are specific to the Oracle SQL*Plus tool. If you want to replicate this in ASP.NET then you will have to create a DataReader object and convert the results into HTML within your ASP.Net code.
