do group by keyvalue

 

by: mwvisa1Posted on 2009-11-07 at 11:21:21ID: 25767661

The one column should only have one value, so :

keyvalue = '1' and keyvalue = '6'

This can't work.

keyvalue in ('1', '6')

Is same as :

keyvalue = '1' or keyvalue = '6'

Which is why you get multiple rows.  Maybe you have a value like '1,6,7' and so you really want this :

keyvalue = '1,6,7'

You may want to show the actual data and your desired results.

mwvisa1 is correct. for one keyvalue, you will be having only one value. If not provide some input.

x 1
y 2
z 5
x 6
x 7
y 6


if x=1 then sorted,2 multiple,6 incorrect.....if x in 1,6 it should display team(not the two rows with "sorted"and "incorrect").
and it should not display all the values for x...it should display with one row and

You may be able to use GROUP_CONCAT() to get ordered list of the values.


Say x, y, z are in column called id then can look like this :

select id, group_concat(distinct keyvalue order by keyvalue) as keyvalues
from your_table_name
group by id ;

Then you can use the above as a derived table:

select id
    , case keyvalues
         when '1,6,7' then 'Sort Type'
         when '1' then 'Sorted'
         else '...' end
from ({query above}) derived

Thanks much..but still not working and the Error got is 'GROUP_CONCAT' is not a recognized function name (Iam using only SQL2000).

Can I use,
select id
    , case keyvalues
         when '1,6,7' then 'Sort Type'
         when '1' then 'Sorted'
         else '...' end,
t3.name,
ot.city,

from ({query above}) derived,Other table ot
let out join table3 t3 on ..............ot.p=t3.p

some conditions.

please let me know for this conditions.

Do you have a finite number of keyvalue values?
In other words is it always 1 - 10?

If so, then you may be able to "pivot" the data so that you end up with an id with 10 columns that are bits or single chars like 'Y' or 'N' that indicate the existence of keyvalues 1 - 10 that you can then use in conditional statements.

Alternatively, you can try this XML trick.

select id
    , replace((
        select keyvalue as "data()"
        from keyvalues b
        where a.id = b.id
        for xml path('')
      ), ' ', ',') as keyvalues
from keyvalues a
group by id


Let me know.

This only works with SQL2005 seems,Iam using sql 2000 only.I really appreciate your help,Please provide me for SQL2000.

 

by: mwvisa1Posted on 2009-11-09 at 12:39:49ID: 25779789

I tested this on SQL 2000, so please advise what error you are getting or are you just speculating it won't work?

SQL 2000 supports for xml just not the xml data type and some other features of for xml that are not being used here.

>>  SQL 2000 supports for xml just not the xml data type and some other features of for xml that are not being used here.

I am not sure about this.
mwvisa1 - Can you provide some URLs to support your statement.

hp746,

Create a function like this:

create function fn_CommaSeperatedString(@KeyValue nvarchar(5))
returns nvarchar(100) as
begin

DECLARE @str nvarchar(500)
SELECT @str = ''
SELECT @str = Value + ', ' + @str FROM YourTable where KeyValue = @KeyValue order by Value
SELECT LEFT(@str,LEN(@str)-1)
end

Once you created the function, you can execute the below query for your requirement.

select KeyValue,
      case
                when (rtrim(Value) in ('1') then 'Sorted'
                when  (rtrim(Value) in ('2') then 'Multiple'
                when (rtrim(Value) in ('5') then 'Deleted/Worked'
                when  (rtrim(Value) in ('6') then 'Incorrect'
                when (rtrim(Value) in ('7') then ' Change'
                when (rtrim(Value) in ('1,6') then 'Team'
                when  (rtrim(Value) in ('1,7') then 'Date'
                when  (rtrim(Value) in ('6,7') then 'Type'
                when (rtrim(Value) in ('1,6,7') then 'Sort Type'
                when (rtrim(Value) in ('9') then 're-controlled'
                else rtrim(keyvalue)
         end
  from (select KeyValue,dbo.fn_CommaSeperatedString(KeyValue) as Value
        from YourTable
         group by KeyValue) as t1

But more importantly, I ran the query successfully on SQL Server 2000, so simply try it ! :)

Did you try the xml trick by mwvisa? If that is not working for you, then you have to go with UDF only.
