left outer join > change values when is null
-
SELECT s.valor, r.rolename as description
FROM Split( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' ) s
LEFT OUTER JOIN roles r ON s.valor = r.roleid
it results:
id description
----------------------
14Administrators
0Administrators
-1NULL
-2NULL
i have a litle list of IFs :
if id = -1 description = Users
if id = -2 description = Host
etc.
Any possibility to put theses 'ifs' into the query?
[]s
-
case S.Valor
when -1 then 'Users'
when -2 then 'Host'
else r.RoleName
end as Description
-
Can the rows for Users and Hosts be added to the Roles table ?
If not:
SELECT s.valor, r.rolename as description
FROM Split( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' ) s
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(select role_id, rolename
from roles
union all
select -1 , 'Users'
union all
select -2 , 'Host'
) as r
ON s.valor = r.roleid
SQL = Scarcely Qualifies as a Language

thats the point. these negative ids are not inside the roles tables ( who knows the guy who did that please kill him for me! (dotnetnuke's crazy people) )
my darling! the first example worked just like i need!
SELECT
s.valor,
CASE s.valor
WHEN '0' THEN 'Administrators'
WHEN '-1' THEN 'All Users'
WHEN '-2' THEN 'Host'
WHEN '-3' THEN 'Unauthenticated Users'
ELSE r.rolename
END AS description
FROM Split( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' ) s
LEFT OUTER JOIN roles r ON s.valor = r.roleid
all working fine!
now I gotta think how can i put all together hehe everything works at the main query with 1 row. When I do with all rows, boy... It takes forever and simply doesn't end.
but thats another issue for another thread isnt it?

We'll give a shot at the speed issue but don't expect this code to ever run lightning fast...
-
it can run slowly if it at least run hehehe the problem is when i put all functions together ( are 3 ), and call the functions caller into the main query which is already a bunch of left outer joins, it simply doesn't end the query.
seems like an endless loop, and i have no clue where it is 
when i finally put all to work for the main query i will show all of them for you guys have a look!
i started learning tsql on monday, so I might be overcomplicating somewhere =^.^=
( have i told u I love u today? i love u! =^.^= )

If you look like you're pic then it's fine... if you look like me then I'll pass on the love

Great

hmm now I put all into a function. the split() works fine.
but something at the last rows are not right. It error:
"Server: Msg 2010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure testList, Line 29
not possible to alter testList for it be an incompatible type of object."
what do u think?
alter FUNCTION testList( @IDList VARCHAR(1000), @Delimiter CHAR(1) )
RETURNS VARCHAR(1000)
--RETURNS @result TABLE( description VARCHAR(1000) )
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @tmp_result TABLE( valor VARCHAR(1000) )
DECLARE @tmp_distinct TABLE( valor VARCHAR(1000), description VARCHAR(1000) )
DECLARE @tmp_description TABLE( description VARCHAR(1000) )
DECLARE @result VARCHAR(1000)
/* get a table with splited data - each id in a row */
INSERT INTO @tmp_result SELECT valor FROM Split(@IDList, @Delimiter )
INSERT INTO @tmp_distinct
SELECT
s.valor ,
CASE s.valor
WHEN '0' THEN 'Administrators'
WHEN '-1' THEN 'All Users'
WHEN '-2' THEN 'Host'
WHEN '-3' THEN 'Unauthenticated Users'
ELSE r.rolename
END AS description
FROM @tmp_result s
LEFT OUTER JOIN roles r ON s.valor = r.roleid
INSERT INTO @tmp_description SELECT DISTINCT(description) FROM @tmp_distinct
SELECT @result = ISNULL( @result + ' - ', '' ) + description FROM @tmp_description
--INSERT INTO @result SELECT * FROM @var
RETURN @result
END
-- select valor from Split( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' )
-- SELECT * from dbo.testList( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' )
-
Try dropping the function and recreating it with your code (swapping alter with create).
-
O.o
it worked!!!!
SELECT dbo.testList( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' ) as rolenames
rolenames
---------------------------------
Administrators - All Users - Host
\o/
i know it might be a stupid question, but why this error happens sometimes and sometimes not happens?

You probabely tried to change the type of the function (some return tables, other table variables and the last type a scalar value). And it is forbiden to alter the function in a way that changes the type of the function.
