Good Morning All

Recently i posted some Sp that i had a problem with while working on a high volume of Data and someone suggested Pivot in sql . I goggled it and found that it was exactly what i was looking for , but i had a problem on the aggregate site because i wanted to Concatenate the Strings. here is the table structure.

ID              DESCR           CYCLETEMPLATE
====================================
7620	     Campbell P Dr	26
7620	     Campbell P Dr	27
7620	     Campbell P Dr	28
7620	     Campbell P Dr	29
7620            Campbell P Dr	      31
7621	      Jones D Dr	        23
7621	      Jones D Dr	        24
7621	      Jones D Dr	        26
7621	      Jones D Dr	        28
7621	      Jones D Dr	        29
7621	      Jones D Dr	        33
7621	      Jones D Dr 	       34

i want to Pivot it and it should look like this

ID              DESCR           CYCLETEMPLATE
===============================
7620	Campbell P Dr	26,2728,29,31
7621	Jones D Dr	23,24,26,28,29,33,34

The CycleTemplate will be Concatinated if the Description is the same and the Discription will not be duplicated again. as you can see in the above example. If your solution duplicated the Cycletemplate its ok, i have an efficient way of removing duplicates in a Field level.

Thank you

Didn't someone supply a sample function to concat the strings. This is the way I would do it.

It would also depend on the number of doctors as well, too many would cripple the process. You cannot do this in a single pass select query.

Hi Team,

I'm a software developer and,
I want to make my hosting server database as my local server database for testing purpose.
But my problem is that, I'v downloaded the sql2005 ssmsee from msdn subscription and installed it in my Vista Home Premium.
The thing is that after installation the Import and Export Options are missing.
So I can't able to Import and Export the database.

So, please anybody help me to make the hosting server database as my local database.

Thanks in Adavance...

Thanks and Regards,

I'm pretty sure there is no option to Import a database. I use the developer version and I am able to restore a backed up database OR attach an MDF and LDF files. I can uses import of a table but there is not import database option.

first you get the database backup from your hosting server, then create a new database in your local server(database name may be same) and restore the backup database to your local server. There is option for Backup & Restore options in Express edition

In Sql Server 2005 Express Edition - there is no Import & Export options, if you need this option you should by the standard edition or professional edtion etc,,,

This issue has been giving me some grief and maybe one of you guys can shed some light on how to solve it and why does it happen.

Look at the following:

Select [PatientID] as [رقم المريض] from EMR.Patient;

(if you can't see the Arabic characters between the square brackets its OK Smile | :)

)

This is a very straight forward statement and the column alias works perfectly fine.

Doing this:

DECLARE @SQL nvarchar(250);
SET @SQL='Select [PatientID] as [رقم المريض] from EMR.Patient';

EXEC sp_executesql @SQL;

Returns a column titled [??? ?????] instead of the unicode alias. I tried setting it as a string and that didn't work either.

Any clues?

TIA

This is a solution, but it seems a bit complicated for something seemingly simple.

I would assume that sp_executesql will use a standard ascii character set to interpret the string @SQL. Try prefixing the string the N, this is designed for unicode (I think, I have limited experience with unicode)

And I can't post unicode in the message

SET @SQL=N'Select [PatientID] as [] from EMR.Patient';

Test - works for me Big Grin | :-D

DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(1000)
set @SQL = N'SELECT PatientIDAS [stick your funny text in here] FROM EMR.Patient'

EXEC (@SQL)

Sounds like you want something like this:

Select (stuff from table A)
UNION
Select (table A - table B)

You don't give any details about the tables, so that is the best I can do.

People write books on database auditing and you want a precis in a forum post. Do a search on SQL 2005 auditing[^] in Google, read some of the articles and come back with a more specific problem.

Without knowing what you wish to trade, it is almost impossible to advise you, with any detail.

It would also take too much time and space. However, if you go to the top of the page and enter shopping cart into the search box and click go!, you will find lots of articles that will get you started.

When you have had a look and tried a few, I'm sure that you will find help for any specific problems that you might have.
