Question

I was using MySQL’s concat_ws function to get data from MySQL database and it was working perfectly. I discover this query through this SO Question. Now I have same case but this time database is SQL Server.

Asking again for SQL Server:

I have a table like this:

id | roll_no | name
---------------------
 1 |   111   | Naveed
 2 |   222   | Adil
 3 |   333   | Ali 

If I have data like this:

$fields = array( "id" , "roll_no" ) and $values = array( "1,111", "2,222" );

It means I have to write a sql query to get records from table where (id != 1 and roll_no != 111) and (id != 2 and roll_no != 222). It means 3rd record will be fetched.

I have data like this:

$fields = array( "id" ) and $values = array( "2", "3" );

It means I have to write a sql query to get records from table where (id != 2) and (id != 3). It means 1st record will be fetched.

How to write a general single query to get data from table using above two data arrays?

Thanks

Your question is unclear for me, but from the link you provided to the other SO question, and assuming you just want to adapt to SQL Server, I guess you could just replace

concat_ws (',', id, roll_no)

by

id + ',' + roll_no
