query syntax (INNER JOIN)
Posted on 2016-07-25
I have a table that saves comma separated values, such as : 1,3,5
This values are the ID of records on a different table, called "Admintags"
When I add a record for a 'casecomment' one of the columns is called 'tags' and this is where I save those comma separated values.
I have the following query:
That will return the following values:
caseid | tags | comment
30638 | 1, 5 | Client will be traveling to Mexico City from Dec 15th until Jan 2nd.
What I need the query to return is the value of those tags from the 'tags' table. The tags table is very simple, it only has two columns
id = the ids saved above
tag_text = the text value of the tag, this is what I need in return:
30638 | Travel date, Billing | Client will be traveling to Mexico City from Dec 15th until Jan 2nd.
which are the corresponding values of 1 and 5 in the "Admintags" table.
How can I do an inner join to display those values instead of the ID's that I have in the casecomments table ?

MySQL does not have split function so you will havetowrite your own. You could find substring_index to be of use
I have a split function. I just don't know how to use it in this instance. Below is my function:
USE [BlueDot]
GO
/****** Object: UserDefinedFunction [dbo].[Split] Script Date: 07/25/2016 19:29:13 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE function [dbo].[Split] (@list nvarchar(max), @delim nchar(1) = ',')
returns table as
return
with csvtbl(start, [stop]) as (
select start = convert(bigint, 1), [stop] = charindex(@delim collate slovenian_bin2, @list + @delim)
union all
select start = [stop] + 1, [stop] = charindex(@delim collate slovenian_bin2, @list + @delim, [stop] + 1)
from csvtbl
where [stop] > 0
)
select ltrim(rtrim(substring(@list, start, case when [stop] > 0 then [stop] - start else 0 end))) as value
from csvtbl
where ([stop] > 0)
and (ltrim(rtrim(substring(@list, start, case when [stop] > 0 then [stop] - start else 0 end))) <> '')

try this.
;WITH CTE AS (
SELECT a.CaseID ,
t.tag_text,
a.Comments
FROM Casecomments a
CROSS APPLY Split(tags,',') s
JOIN tags t ON s.value = t.id)
SELECT DISTINCT CaseID,
rtrim(substring(isnull((select ','+tag_text from CTE t2 where t1.CaseiD = t2.CaseID for xml path('')),' '),2,2000)) tags,
Comments
FROM CTE t1
Something may be wrong in the select, this is what I changed it to since the table name was incorrect.
I get this error:
WITH CTE
AS ( SELECT a.CaseID ,
t.tag_text ,
a.Comments
FROM Casecomments a
CROSS APPLY Split(tags, ',') s
JOIN dbo.AdminTags t ON s.value = t.id
)
SELECT DISTINCT
CaseID ,
RTRIM(SUBSTRING(ISNULL(( SELECT ',' + tag_text
FROM CTE t2
WHERE t1.CaseID = t2.CaseID
FOR
XML PATH('')
), ' '), 2, 2000)) tags ,
Comments
FROM CTE t1;
I get this error:
Msg 321, Level 15, State 1, Line 6
"tags" is not a recognized table hints option. If it is intended as a parameter to a table-valued function or to the CHANGETABLE function, ensure that your database compatibility mode is set to 90.

Is it not a column in your table, Casecomments? I am passing the column tags to your Split function to split it into multiple records.

I used your split function only. To be specific, you can use with 3-part name.
WITH CTE
AS ( SELECT a.CaseID ,
t.tag_text ,
a.Comments
FROM Casecomments a
CROSS APPLY BlueDot .dbo.Split(a.tags, ',') s
JOIN dbo.AdminTags t ON s.value = t.id
)
SELECT DISTINCT
CaseID ,
RTRIM(SUBSTRING(ISNULL(( SELECT ',' + tag_text
FROM CTE t2
WHERE t1.CaseID = t2.CaseID
FOR
XML PATH('')
), ' '), 2, 2000)) tags ,
Comments
FROM CTE t1;

SELECT DISTINCT

In my SSMS, It didn't return any error. May be any invisible character. Can you paste in any text editor and copy from there.
Active today
You may have some unprintable characters like LF or CR in the script. Notepad++ may be helpful to get them.

Can you give a try on this.
;WITH CTE
AS (SELECT a.CaseID,
t.tag_text,

SELECT DISTINCT CaseID,
