I'm kinda stuck in writing Stored Procedure. Here is the case. I have one table, below is the illustration
| Name | Score |
| A | 10 |
| A | 20 |
| A | 30 |
| B | 20 |
| B | 50 |
And i'm trying to get a result as follows from the Stored Procedure
| Name | Scores |
| A | 10,20,30 |
| B | 20,50 |
Is it possible to get such a result from a SQL Query or Stored Procedure ? How ?
You can create a CLR user-defined aggregate :
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
[Serializable()]
[SqlUserDefinedAggregate(
Format.UserDefined,
IsInvariantToNulls=true,
IsInvariantToDuplicates=false,
IsInvariantToOrder=false,
MaxByteSize=8000)]
public class Concat : IBinarySerialize
{
#region Private fields
private string separator;
private StringBuilder intermediateResult;
#endregion
#region IBinarySerialize members
public void Read(BinaryReader r)
{
this.intermediateResult = new StringBuilder(r.ReadString());
}
public void Write(BinaryWriter w)
{
w.Write(this.intermediateResult.ToString());
}
#endregion
#region Aggregation contract methods
public void Init()
{
this.separator = ", ";
this.intermediateResult = new StringBuilder();
}
public void Accumulate(SqlString pValue)
{
if (pValue.IsNull)
{
return;
}
if (this.intermediateResult.Length > 0)
{
this.intermediateResult.Append(this.separator);
}
this.intermediateResult.Append(pValue.Value);
}
public void Merge(Concat pOtherAggregate)
{
this.intermediateResult.Append(pOtherAggregate.intermediateResult);
}
public SqlString Terminate()
{
return this.intermediateResult.ToString();
}
#endregion
}
and use it in a query like any other aggregate function:
SELECT Name, dbo.Concat(Score) AS Scores
FROM dbo.Table
GROUP BY Name
The article A SQL CLR user-defined aggregate - notes on creating and debugging posted on my blog contains a detailed explanation of this code.
In this case COALESCE is your friend. I'm not a COALESCE expert, I just know it works so you may want to look it up if you want to dig deeper.
The snippet below will get you one row at a time, given the name to look for in @Name, I'd turn this into a function in SQL server, then call that function in your upper level SP somewhere, word of caution though: If you have NULL values in your result set, it will cause you to get incorrect results.
DECLARE @Name varchar
SET @Name = 'A'
DECLARE @Row varchar(max)
SELECT
@Row = COALESCE(@Row + ', ','') + CAST(Score AS varchar)
FROM
sotest2
WHERE
name = @Name
SELECT @Name,@Row
'sotest2' is the table name by the way, that was just what I called it in my db :-)
Revised after considering comments:
I recommend reading Rob Farley's excellent blog post Handling special characters with FOR XML PATH('') . His solution will allow for string concatenation of your grouped ID's without concern for fields that might have special characters .
DECLARE @t TABLE (Name CHAR(1), Score INT)
INSERT @t VALUES
('A', 10),
('A', 20),
('A', 30),
('B', 20),
('B', 50)
SELECT
STUFF(
(SELECT ', ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), Score)
FROM @t
WHERE Name = t.Name
ORDER BY Score
FOR XML PATH(''),
TYPE).value('(./text())[1]','varchar(max)'),
1, 2, '') AS Score
FROM @t t
GROUP BY Name
The quirky update method:
DECLARE @DistinctName TABLE
(
Name VARCHAR(10) PRIMARY KEY
);
INSERT @DistinctName (Name)
VALUES ('A'),('B');
DECLARE @Test TABLE
(
TestId INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY
,Name VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL
,Score INT NOT NULL
,Result VARCHAR(1000) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
);
INSERT @Test (Name, Score)
VALUES ('A',10),('A',20),('A',30),('B',40),('B',50);
DECLARE @OldName VARCHAR(10) = ''
,@IsNewGroup BIT = 1
,@Concat VARCHAR(1000);
WITH SourceCTE
AS
(
SELECT TOP(1000) t.*
FROM @Test t
ORDER BY t.Name
)
UPDATE SourceCTE
SET @IsNewGroup = CASE WHEN @OldName <> Name THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
,@OldName = Name
,@Concat = Result = CASE WHEN @IsNewGroup = 1 THEN '' ELSE @Concat END + ',' + CAST(Score AS VARCHAR(10))
--OUTPUT inserted.Name, inserted.TestId , inserted.Result
SELECT dn.Name
,SUBSTRING(ca.Result,2,1000) Result
FROM @DistinctName dn
CROSS APPLY
(
SELECT TOP(1) Result
FROM @Test t
WHERE t.Name = dn.Name
ORDER BY t.TestId DESC
) ca;
