COMMA SEPARATED VALUES

Say we have a table #test with columns as follows::

I need to display rows as follows:

We can use FOR XML PATH concept to accomplish this:

QUERY:

First we will create table #test::

CREATE TABLE #test(

field1 VARCHAR(5), field2 VARCHAR(5)

)

Let us first create table #test:

INSERT INTO #test

SELECT '001','AAA'

UNION ALL

SELECT '001','BBB'

UNION ALL

SELECT '002','CCC'

UNION ALL

SELECT '003','DDD'

UNION ALL

SELECT '004','EEE'

UNION ALL

SELECT '004','FFF'

UNION ALL

SELECT '004','GGG'

For required output, the query will be

SELECT field1, SUBSTRING ( (SELECT ( ', ' + field2)

FROM #test t2

WHERE t1.Field1 = t2.Field1

ORDER BY t1.Field1, t2.Field1

FOR XML PATH (' ')), 3, 1000)

FROM #test t1

GROUP BY field1

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below: As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.

To count number of COLUMNs in a table

Say if out table is EMP and If we want to count number of column present in EMP table, then following query can be used. select COUNT(*) from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where table_name='emp'

How to move multiple files in ssis and also rename simultaneously

There are two ways to achieve this. 1) We can move the flat files and then rename it. 2) While moving files itself, automatic rename should be done. We will do the second type. The criteria is to rename the files while moving from source to destination. So for that, we need FILE SYSTEM TASK to be included. Secondly since we need to move many files, we will use FOR EACH LOOP CONTAINER. To fetch all the files, we can use FOR EACH LOOP task in SSIS. In collection tab, we can select FOREACH FILE enumerator option for fetching files and we can change enumerator configuration Folder option: Points to source where we need to fetch files. Files: will give us idea whether we need to fetch all the files (*.*) or if we give extension like *.txt, it is going to fetch only .txt files . Once I give Source name in FOR EACH LOOP container, It is going to fetch all the files corresponding to that path. Retrieve file name: This option is used to let the variables mentioned in V...
