Please provide table def and sample data in a ready to use format as described in the first link in my signature. Furthermore, please include your expected result based on the sample together with what you've tried so far.

The information you've posted so far is rather vague...

the table definition is

My table contains only one column and information store in this table as follow

and this

SELECT a.tempset,b.tempset

FROM tbtem a

LEFT JOIN tbtem b

ON a.tempset like '%%%' and b.tempset like '%^%%'

and this

SELECT a.tempset,b.tempset

FROM tbtem a

RIGHT JOIN tbtem b

ON a.tempset like '%%%' and a.tempset <>b.tempset

and this

SELECT a.tempset,b.tempset

FROM tbtem a

FULL JOIN tbtem b

ON a.tempset like '%%%' and b.tempset like '%^%%'

but I need output like as

%A X1

Hi,

although this method is a little bit unusual for relational databases you can get your output by adding a identity column to your table.

create table tbtemp (orderid int identity(1,1), temp varchar(50))

So you can get the #-text above your row with following statement:

selectb.temp,

a.temp

fromtbtem a

inner join

tbtem b on b.temp like '[%]%'

and a.orderid > b.orderid

left join

tbtem c on c.temp like '[%]%'

and c.temp <> b.temp

and c.orderid between b.orderid and a.orderid

wherea.temp not like '[%]%'

and c.orderid is null

I hope it helps ... 🙂

Thank you its working but I can not modify table defination

Sorry for the bad news but there's nothing you can do because there's nothing in the table to guarantee the order of the rows. Sure, you'll find some code that looks like it works, but there's no guarantee that it'll work 100% of the time because, like I said, there's nothing to guarantee the order of the rows.

Please read the link that Lutz posted before you post another problem. The data you provided is simply not readily consumable and you'll get much better help when it is.

I will continue with PATRICK FIEDLER code

--create table #tmp(temp varchar(50)) --this table is your permanent table you remove this line

create table #tbtemp (orderid int identity(1,1), temp varchar(50))

--insert into #tmp values('%A')

--insert into #tmp values('x1')

--insert into #tmp values('x2')

--insert into #tmp values('x3')

--insert into #tmp values('%B')

--insert into #tmp values('y1')

--insert into #tmp values('y2')

--insert into #tmp values('y3')

--insert into #tmp values('%C')

--insert into #tmp values('z1')

--insert into #tmp values('z2')

--insert into #tmp values('z3')

insert into #tbtemp

select temp from tbtemp -- your permanent table name

select b.temp+' '+a.temp as result from #tbtemp a inner join

#tbtemp b on b.temp like '[%]%' and a.orderid > b.orderid left join

#tbtemp c on c.temp like '[%]%' and c.temp <> b.temp and c.orderid between b.orderid

and a.orderid where a.temp not like '[%]%' and c.orderid is null

--drop table #tmp

drop table #tbtemp

check this
