CUCM sql commands using concat

Neil Martin
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I'm trying to run some sql commands on the CUCM and want to use concat.  For example I have tried all of the following:

admin:run sql select concat(firstname, ',' lastname) from enduser;

admin:run sql select concat(firstname || ',' || lastname) from enduser;

admin:run sql select firstname, lastname SET firstname = (CONCAT(dnorpattern, ',')) from enduser;

It seems that concat just doesn't work as I get 'syntax error' every time.  

Can anyone let me know if this can be made to work?  

Thanks in advance,

Neil

admin:run sql select firstname,lastname from enduser

firstname,lastname

Unfortunately the above in your reply doesn't do this for us.  When I run this on a mysql database the command is select concat(firstname,',',lastname) from enduser.  I know that 'concat' is an option in db2 but it doesn't seem to work on the appliance.   

Other way around to achieve this is thru BAT user export.

Do you mean BATCH mode?  Problem at the moment is we don't have permission to write to a file.  Can you confirm if it is possible to run concat or not with CUCM?  If so what is the correct syntax please?

You can use concat in update query, Seems select has a limitation.

Why not just run the query you have and then copy and paste to Excel and concatenate the cells there?

Hi Neil,

May be late for you, but the following could help someone else...

run sql select firstname || ',' || lastname from enduser

i tried your suggestion using double pipe (||) characters. But the SSH Session does not accept it. Copy/paste is not working, also. CUCM Version 11.5.1.12900-21

 

Is there any way around this?

It looks like concat just doesn't like taking more than 2 parameters.

run sql select concat (firstname, lastname) from enduser 

worked for me. 

 

I also tried

run sql select concat ( concat (firstname, ","), lastname) from enduser 

 

Hope this helps.
