I need to display data from both header and detail, details has to come from other table also
--CREATE TABLE
-----------------
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_Dept](
[DeptId] [int] NULL,
[DeptCode] [char](2) NULL,
[DeptName] [nvarchar](100) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_Detail](
[Header_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Name] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[DescValue] [nvarchar](max) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table_Header](
[Header_Id] [int] NULL,
[UserName] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
--INSERT DATA
-----------------
INSERT INTO Table_Dept (DeptId, DeptCode, DeptName)
VALUES (1, 'HO', N'Head Office'),
(2, 'BO', N'Branch Office'),
(3, 'RO', N'Reginal Office'),
(4, 'SO', N'Sub Division Office')
INSERT INTO Table_Header
(Header_Id, UserName)
VALUES (1, N'Ravi'), (2, N'Gopal'), (3, N'Deepa')
INSERT INTO Table_Detail
(Header_ID, Name, DescValue)
VALUES (1, N'ListNumber', N'1005'),

~~Check out this article. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/71700/[/url]~~

~~It explains very clearly how to do exactly what you are looking for. Please post back if you have any problems getting it to work and we can help.~~

My apologies. I misread what you are trying to do.

What you have here is known as an Entity Attribute Value (EAV) architecture. It is very controversial and can really fuel some fires. Used appropriately this type of architecture is very helpful. Used inappropriately it is very painful to work with.

Thank you very much for posting ddl, sample data and desired output. That makes working on these things so much easier!!!!

Give me a few minutes and I will see what I can come with.

Below is my result query...

SELECT *,

STUFF((SELECT ',' + DeptName

FROM Table_Dept

WHERE ',' + t.DeptCode + ',' LIKE '%,' + DeptCode + ',%'

FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'') AS DeptName

FROM

(

SELECT h.Header_ID,

td.ListNumber,

td.PhaseCode,

td.DeptCode,

td.City

FROM Table_header h

INNER JOIN (SELECT Header_ID,

MAX(CASE WHEN Name = 'ListNumber' THEN DescValue END) AS ListNumber,

MAX(CASE WHEN Name = 'PhaseCode' THEN DescValue END) AS PhaseCode,

MAX(CASE WHEN Name = 'DeptCode' THEN DescValue END) AS DeptCode,

MAX(CASE WHEN Name = 'City' THEN DescValue END) AS City

FROM Table_Detail

GROUP BY Header_ID)td

ON td.Header_ID = h.Header_ID

)t

Now, I have an additional field where the xml path has to be defined without from table.

..consider the dept code, where the values are now comming from table and need result if the data is not displayed from table and they are static..

use case when 'Bo' then 'Branch Office'

when 'Ro' then 'Reginal Office'

when 'So' then 'Sub Division Office'

when 'Ho' then 'Head Office'

how to replace my above query

In addition to having to fight with an EAV you have delimited data stored. This is not a good design choice and if at all possible you should change that. It violates 1NF.

In order to work with this you are first going to have to parse your delimited data into rows so you can use it in your join criteria. Please refer to the article in my signature about splitting strings. In that article you will find the DelimitedSplit8K function.

The code below works with your sample data.

with ParsedData as

(

select h.Header_Id,

ListNum.DescValue as ListNumber,

Phase.DescValue as PhaseCode,

City.DescValue as City,

h.UserName,

d.DeptName

from Table_Header h

left join Table_Detail ListNum on ListNum.Header_ID = h.Header_Id and ListNum.Name = 'ListNumber'

left join Table_Detail Phase on Phase.Header_ID = h.Header_Id and Phase.Name = 'PhaseCode'

left join Table_Detail City on City.Header_ID = h.Header_Id and City.Name = 'City'

left join Table_Detail DeptCode on DeptCode.Header_ID = h.Header_Id and DeptCode.Name = 'DeptCode'

cross apply dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(DeptCode.DescValue, ',') split

join Table_Dept d on d.DeptCode = split.Item

)

select Header_ID,

ListNumber,

PhaseCode,

STUFF((select ', ' + DeptName

from ParsedData d2

where d2.Header_Id = d1.Header_Id

order by d2.DeptName

for xml path('')), 1, 1, '') as BranchOffice,

City,

UserName

from ParsedData d1

group by Header_ID,
