Two comma seperated cell merge with final output

Question

Hey all I have the following SQL Query that I am using in order to get comma separated values from a cell:

WITH cte AS(
    SELECT        
        uT.id AS UID, 
        uT.employeeID, 
        uP.type, 
        pP.name 
    FROM 
        usersTbl AS uT
    CROSS APPLY 
        dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(uT.userPerms,',') AS uPcommaItems
    INNER JOIN 
        usersPermissions uP ON uP.id = uPcommaItems.Item
    CROSS APPLY 
        dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(uT.userPermPages,',') AS pPcommaItems
    INNER JOIN 
        pagePermissions pP ON pP.id = pPcommaItems.Item
)
SELECT DISTINCT 
    UID, 
    employeeID,
    STUFF(
            (
                SELECT 
                    ',' + stuff1.type
                FROM 
                    cte AS stuff1
                WHERE 
                    t.UID = stuff1.UID 
                FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, ''
          ) AS userPermissions,
    STUFF(
            (
                SELECT 
                    ',' + stuff2.type
                FROM 
                    cte AS stuff2
                WHERE 
                    t.UID = stuff2.UID
                FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, ''
          ) AS pagePermissions
FROM 
    cte AS t

The userTbl table looks like this:

------------------------------------------------
ID    | employeeID | userPerms | pagePermPAges
------------------------------------------------
15    | 3FdFieu9I  | 1,3       | 1,4,5,6

The userPermissions table looks like this:

----------------
ID | type
----------------
1  | Read
2  | Write
3  | Upload
4  | Admin

And this is my pagePermissions table looks like:

ID | name
----------------
1  | bindex
2  | flight
3  | submit
4  | form
5  | information
6  | myPage
7  | register

My current output of the query above is this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID    | employeeID | userPermissions                         | pagePermissions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15    | 3FdFieu9I  | Read,Read,Read...upload,upload,upload...| Read,Read,Read...upload,upload,upload...

It should read this though:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID    | employeeID | userPermissions | pagePermissions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
15    | 3FdFieu9I  | Read,Upload     | bindex,form,information,myPage

Any MS SQL guru out there that can help me out?

Answer 1

Perhaps this may help

Example

Select A.ID
      ,A.employeeID
      ,usersPermissions = Stuff((Select Distinct ',' +[type] From userPermissions Where charindex(concat(',',ID,','),concat(',',A.[userPerms]    ,','))>0 For XML Path ('')),1,1,'') 
      ,pagePermissions = Stuff((Select Distinct ',' +[name] From pagePermissions Where charindex(concat(',',ID,','),concat(',',A.[userPermPages],','))>0 For XML Path ('')),1,1,'') 
 From usersTbl A

Returns

You need to get just the unique values for the permissions. You can get there via DISTINCT or GROUP BY . Here's your code modified using the former method:

WITH cte AS(
    SELECT        
        uT.id AS UID, 
        uT.employeeID, 
        uP.type, 
        pP.name 
    FROM 
        usersTbl AS uT
    CROSS APPLY 
        dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(uT.userPerms,',') AS uPcommaItems
    INNER JOIN 
        usersPermissions uP ON uP.id = uPcommaItems.Item
    CROSS APPLY 
        dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(uT.userPermPages,',') AS pPcommaItems
    INNER JOIN 
        pagePermissions pP ON pP.id = pPcommaItems.Item
)
SELECT DISTINCT 
    UID, 
    employeeID,
    STUFF(
            (
                SELECT DISTINCT
                    ',' + stuff1.type
                FROM 
                    cte AS stuff1
                WHERE 
                    t.UID = stuff1.UID 
                FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, ''
          ) AS userPermissions,
    STUFF(
            (
                SELECT DISTINCT
                    ',' + stuff2.type
                FROM 
                    cte AS stuff2
                WHERE 
                    t.UID = stuff2.UID
                FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, ''
          ) AS pagePermissions
FROM 
    cte AS t

I think this should do it if you Add

Group by 

Before For XML
