I want to group the query data based on the groupid attribute, the following image is my table image
http://prntscr.com/g2qu7a
I want it to show it like a tree structure where i can show the data in this format:
Group1
price
length
width
price
length
width
price
length
width
Group 2
same as above
the 3 elements under each group can have 3 or less than 3 or just one or nothing, i want to get data so i can create textfields to update dat in my database, but that is not what i am trying
here is my query
select priceid,itemid,groupid,price,length,width from prices
Try using the following concept:
Insert data:
CREATE TABLE some_table (some_data VARCHAR(20), some_other_data VARCHAR(20), groupId VARCHAR(20));
INSERT INTO some_table (some_data, some_other_data, groupId) values ('a', '1', 'id1');
INSERT INTO some_table (some_data, some_other_data, groupId) values ('b', '2', 'id1');
INSERT INTO some_table (some_data, some_other_data, groupId) values ('c', '3', 'id2');
Execute the query:
SELECT '{"' + t.groupId + '": [{' + STUFF(
(
SELECT '{ "some_data":"' + td.some_data + '"', ', "some_other_data":' + td.some_other_data + '},'
FROM some_table td
WHERE t.groupId = td.groupId
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, '') + ']}'
FROM some_table t
GROUP BY t.groupId
Results:
{"id1": [{ "some_data":"a", "some_other_data":1},{ "some_data":"b","some_other_data":2},]}
{"id2": [{ "some_data":"c","some_other_data":3},]}
Note the trailing comma should not affect the validity of the data. My experience with SQL Server is limited, but this should get you started in a direction that can work.
