Converting Redundant Data to Comma-Separated String Using SQL: A Step-by-Step Guide
Converting Redundant Data to Comma-Separated String Using SQL =========================================================== In this article, we will explore how to convert redundant data into a comma-separated string using SQL. Specifically, we’ll focus on the STRING_AGG function in PostgreSQL and SQL Server, which allows us to aggregate strings together. Background The problem presented involves a table with redundant rows for certain attributes. The goal is to transform this data into a single row where each attribute’s values are concatenated into a comma-separated string.

Finding the Earliest Date for Each ID: A SQL Solution Using Window Functions
Grouping Continuous Dates in SQL: Finding the Earliest Date for Each ID Problem Statement The problem at hand involves finding the earliest consecutive date for each id based on a given from_date and to_date. The goal is to identify the period that includes the current date. We need to determine if it’s possible to achieve this without creating a temporary table and updating the from_date for each id. Background In SQL, when dealing with dates, we often use functions like MIN, MAX, LAG, and LEAD to manipulate and compare dates.

Extracting Last Characters from Long Strings in Oracle: A Solution Overview
Understanding the Problem and Requirements The problem at hand revolves around identifying the last character of a given sentence within a specific limit. The goal is to extract this character by determining its position from the end of the string. The given situation involves working with Oracle, where strings are limited in length due to size constraints (up to 268,435,456 Unicode characters or 536,870,912 bytes). When dealing with such long strings, extracting specific characters becomes a challenge.
