Concatenating Values in SQL Server using a CTE -
i have been trying concatenate values particular row. have query:
select tblcontacts_2.contactid, (coalesce (tblsites_1.sitenm, '') + coalesce (' / ' + tblsites_1.sitenmalt, '') + ' ' + coalesce (tblsites_1.addr1, '') + ' ' + coalesce (tblsites_1.zipcodeid, '') ) sitenameaddr, tblsites_1.siteid dbo.tblcontacts tblcontacts_2 inner join dbo.tjncsitecontacts tjncsitecontacts_1 on tblcontacts_2.contactid = tjncsitecontacts_1.contactid inner join dbo.tblsites tblsites_1 on tblsites_1.siteid = tjncsitecontacts_1.siteid
the output
contactid sitenameaddr siteid -------------------------------------------------------------- 329 twin parks southwest / twin parks south... 1 1788 twin parks southwest / twin parks s.... 1
what want is, output of format sitenameaddrs 1 contact id concatenated below count of site ids associated with:
contactid sitenameaddr countsite ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 321 riverside park / 3333 broadway 10035, urban... 8 322 westview 625 main st 10044 1
the problem is, following code fails while doing -
select tblcontacts_2.contactid, dbo.removelastchar(dbo.strconcat(coalesce (tblsites_1.sitenm, '') + coalesce (' / ' + tblsites_1.sitenmalt, '') + ' ' + coalesce (tblsites_1.addr1, '') + ' ' + coalesce (tblsites_1.zipcodeid, '') + ', ')) sitenameaddr, count(tblsites_1.siteid) countsite dbo.tblcontacts tblcontacts_2 inner join dbo.tjncsitecontacts tjncsitecontacts_1 on tblcontacts_2.contactid = tjncsitecontacts_1.contactid inner join dbo.tblsites tblsites_1 on tblsites_1.siteid = tjncsitecontacts_1.siteid group tblcontacts_2.contactid
error:
a .net framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate "strconcat":
system.data.sqlserver.truncationexception: trying convert return value or output parameter of size 8086 bytes t-sql type smaller size limit of 8000 bytes.
this because 1 of contact ids has 92 sites associated , concatenated string becomes large. also, dbo.removelastchar
, dbo.strconcat
scalar functions can return nvarchar
, hence can't use ntext
in them. type-casting of data-type not working either.
please let me know alternative this. concatenated string picked vba code in access
