identifying different patterns
-
declare @string varchar(500) = 'Carborator Break Engine Oil'
declare @tblPattern table (ID INT IDENTITY, Pattern VARCHAR(500), PatternIdentifier INT)
---Single Word Pattern
insert @tblPattern(Pattern, PatternIdentifier)
SELECT Word, 0
FROM (SELECT @string AS phrase) p
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT CAST('<a>'+REPLACE(phrase,' ','</a><a>')+'</a>'
---+ CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(' ', phrase)> 0 THEN '<a>'+ phrase +'</a>' ELSE '' END
AS XML) xml1
) t1
CROSS APPLY (SELECT n.value('.','varchar(255)') AS word FROM xml1.nodes('a') x(n) ) t2
select * from @tblPattern
HOW CAN I GENERATE DIFFERENT PATTERNS FROM ABOVE STRING?
EXPECTED OUTPUT:
Carborator
Break
Engine
Oil
Carborator Break
Carborator Break Engine
Carborator Break Engine Oil
Engine Oil
Break Engine Oil

Using the splitter function referenced in my signature you could do this.
declare @string varchar(500) = 'Carborator Break Engine Oil';
declare @tblPattern table (ID INT IDENTITY, Pattern VARCHAR(500), PatternIdentifier INT);
;WITH split1 AS
(
SELECT s.*
FROM (values (@string)) t(c)
CROSS APPLY dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(t.c,' ') s
),
combos AS
(
SELECT rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (order by (select null)),
[c4] = s1.Item+' '+coalesce(s2.Item,'')+' '+coalesce(s3.Item,'')+' '+coalesce(s4.Item,''),
[c3] = s1.Item+' '+coalesce(s2.Item,'')+' '+coalesce(s3.Item,''),
[c2] = s1.Item+' '+coalesce(s2.Item,'')
FROM split1 s1
LEFT JOIN split1 s2
ON s2.ItemNumber = s1.ItemNumber+1
LEFT JOIN split1 s3
ON s3.ItemNumber = s2.ItemNumber+1
LEFT JOIN split1 s4
ON s4.ItemNumber = s3.ItemNumber+1
)
SELECT item FROM split1 UNION ALL
SELECT [c4] FROM combos WHERE rn < 4 UNION ALL
SELECT [c3] FROM combos WHERE rn = 1 UNION ALL
SELECT [c2] FROM combos WHERE rn = 1;
This will work when you have 4 words (three spaces)... this would need to be tweaked based on your requirement.

Hi
Here's another method using the same splitter and with the same conditions as Alan's. I thought a cube may give you the results you need
declare @string varchar(500) = 'Carborator Break Engine Oil';with split as (
select itemnumber, item
from dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(@string,' ')
),
pivoted as (
select max(case when itemnumber = 1 then item end) word1,
max(case when itemnumber = 2 then item end) word2,
max(case when itemnumber = 3 then item end) word3,
max(case when itemnumber = 4 then item end) word4
from split s
),
concatcube as (
select ltrim(concat(word1, isnull(' ' + word2,''), isnull(' ' + word3,''), isnull(' ' + word4,''))) pattern,
case when word1 is null then '-' else '#' end +
case when word2 is null then '-' else '#' end +
case when word3 is null then '-' else '#' end +
case when word4 is null then '-' else '#' end testPattern
from pivoted p
group by cube(word1, word2, word3, word4)
),
keeppatterns as (
select testPattern
from (VALUES
('#---'),
('-#--'),
('--#-'),
('---#'),
('##--'),
('###-'),
('####'),
('-###'),
('--##')
) tp(testPattern)
)
select pattern
from concatcube c
inner join keeppatterns k on c.testPattern = k.testPattern
order by pattern;
It's a tad verbose, but I wanted to show the breakdown of the steps.
Edit: removed a surplus replace from an earlier version

This is excellent Micky. Brilliant use of cube too. Well done!

Thanks Alan :blush: and then I see my spelling mistake 🙂
-
thanks guys you saved me!
addition to this I am also searching how many times the word has been repeated within the same column
below is the script
;WITH
CTE
AS( SELECT distinct pattern
FROM @phrase w
CROSS APPLY dbo.WordSplitter(w.DESC_COL) p
WHERE LEN(ltrim(rtrim(pattern))) > 1 and pattern != ''
)
,CTE2
AS
( SELECT pattern,
(SELECT COUNT(1) FROM @phrase WHERE DESC_COL LIKE '%' + pattern + '%') Occurance
FROM CTE
GROUP BY pattern
)
SELECT * FROM cte2
the problem here is it works very well with small amount of data and I have huge amount of data in desc (approx. 7 million) out of which i need to extract this word occurrence 🙁

Not a problem, however to help you on the query above we will need some sample data. You are selecting from @phrase which we can't see. I assume that you are working from a real table. Post the DDL for that and some example data.
One thing, are you using the delimitedSplit8K that Alan pointed you at? There are other splitters out there that are really slow.

this is my contribution
declare @string varchar(500) = 'Carborator Break Engine Oil';
with split as (
SELECT itemnumber, item, COUNT(*) OVER () AS cnt
from dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(@string,' ')
),Recursive_cte AS(
SELECT itemnumber, item FROM [split]
UNION ALL
SELECT s.itemnumber, s.item+' '+r.item
FROM [split] s, Recursive_cte r
WHERE s.cnt<=4 AND r.item NOT LIKE '%'+s.item+'%'
)
SELECT * FROM Recursive_cte
