Help Using An Outer Join When Using A Where Clause

Mar 7, 2008

I am trying to get all of the Fund_cdes to show up even if there was no transaction on the brkg fact table. The problem I coming up with is I am also retricting what I show in the brkg fact table so I am not getting all of the row from the fund table. How do I write a left join that shows all of the fund cdes

SELECT
SEP_ACCOUNT.sep_acct_cde as Account,
FUND.fund_cde as FUND,
BRKG_FACT.accum_unit_cnt as Units_Purchased,
BRKG_FACT.transaction_amt as Amount_Purchased
FROM
BRKG_FACT
SEP_ACCOUNT
FUND
where
BRKG_FACT.sep_acct_id_num = SEP_ACCOUNT.sep_acct_id_num
brkg_fact.FUND_ID_NUM = FUND_DIM.FUND_ID_NUM
brkg_fact.SEP_ACCT_ID_NUM = 5 and
brkg_fact.product_cde <> 'MM' and
brkg_fact.transaction_amt <= 0 and
brkg_fact.source_sys_id_num <> 3 and
brkg_fact.source_sys_id_num <> 5 and
BRKG_FACT.trans_process_dte >= '1/1/2008' and
BRKG_FACT.trans_process_dte <= '1/2/2008'
order by fund_cde

current output

ACCOUNT FUND UNITS_PURCHASED AMOUNT_PURCHASED
U BLCD -0.01137 -1.48000
U BOND -0.01283 -1.67000

Right Outer Join With Where Clause

Aug 23, 2007

Using SQL Server 2005

I am reporting on a system with 32 devices, each of these devices can have certain events that happen to it that are logged and timestamped.
I need a to show the count of each events that have happened to it within a certain time period.
This code snippet below works fine BUT if there are no events that happen to a certain device in the time period, then that device is 'missing' from the table.
What I need is basically a row for every device, regardless of if it has had any events happen to it (I will just show '0' for the event count)
Any thoughts? I'm a complete newbie at this by the way.

Thanks

SELECT DeviceStatusWords.DeviceName, COUNT(DeviceEventDurationLog.StatusBit) AS BitCount, DeviceEventDurationLog.StatusBit AS Bit
FROM DeviceEventDurationLog RIGHT OUTER JOIN
DeviceStatusWords ON DeviceEventDurationLog.DeviceID = DeviceStatusWords.DeviceID
WHERE (DeviceEventDurationLog.TimeIn > @StartDate) AND (DeviceEventDurationLog.TimeIn < @EndDate)
GROUP BY DeviceStatusWords.DeviceName, DeviceEventDurationLog.StatusBit

LEFT OUTER JOIN & WHERE Clause Issue

May 5, 2008

Hello,

I have two tables:

tasks
idint
useridint
otherstuff int

sample rows:
1,11,2
2,11,2

times
idint
taskidint
startweekdatetime
statusint

sample rows:
1,1,'04/28/2008',1
2,1,'04/28/2008',1
2,2,'04/28/2008',1


I want to retrieve:
ALL [tasks] with [times].[status] for a specific user for a given week, whether rows exist in [times] or not.

Here's my query:

select tasks.id, times.status
from tasks
LEFT OUTER JOIN times ON tasks.id = times.taskid
where upt.userid=11 AND times.startweek='05/05/2008'

That just doesn't return any the records though for the 05/05/2008 date. Its as though I want to join with a WHERE clause on the [times] table. What can I do?

Thanks in advance,


Brian

SQL-92 Outer Join Vs T-SQL Outer Join (6.5 Or 7.0) - Test Script Included

Apr 26, 2002

Take the following scenario:

We have two tables that have somewhat of a parent-child relationship. We are trying to use a SQL-92 outer join that returns the same results as a TSQL *= outer join. The difficulty we are having is that some of the parent records do not have any corresponding child records, but we still want to see those parent records with 0 (zero) for the count. How can we accomplish this with a SQL-92 compliant join (if it is even possible)? In the query results below, we would like the first set of results.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Convert ANsi-89 To Ansi-92 Outer Join

Oct 1, 2007

I've been using this syntax for years on SQL Server and now comes the time to convert to SQL 2005 (90 compatibility). This syntax returns four rows. Basically it returns one row for each servername/component/context/property/value even when there does not exist a property of 'fff' since it's a left join:



Code Block
select t1.* from tblconfiguration t1
,tblconfiguration t2
where t1.component = 'AdjProcessUtility'
and t1.servername *= t2.servername
and t1.component *= t2.component
and t1.context *= t2.context
and t1.property = 'proc'
and t2.property = 'fff'




Result:
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility DuplicatesReport Proc Adjustment.dbo.prcDuplicatesReport
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile Proc Adjustment.dbo.prcAdjExtractMFFiles
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationProcess Proc prcAdjValidations
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationReport Proc Adjustment.dbo.prcValidationReport



When the converted (using SQL enterprise Mgr) runs it returns no rows:



Code Block
SELECT t1.*
FROM dbo.tblConfiguration t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.tblConfiguration t2 ON t1.ServerName = t2.ServerName AND t1.Component = t2.Component AND t1.Context = t2.Context
WHERE (t1.Component = 'AdjProcessUtility') AND (t1.Property = 'proc') AND (t2.Property = 'fff')





I don't really see how to change this query to make it work. I've searched the web and I really don't see any examples of left joins which use more than one column.

Here's the table definition:



Code Block
CREATE TABLE dbo.tblConfiguration
(
ServerName VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Component VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Context VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Property VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_tblConfiguration PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED( ServerName, Component, Context, Property ),
Value VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
)




I use this table to define reports and there attribues. The rows repeat themselves except for the Property and Value columns
Here is some of the data:

SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile Proc Adjustment.dbo.prcAdjExtractMFFiles

SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile RunTime 13:25
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile Schedule 2,3,4,5,6
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile FixedRecLength 71
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile WriteFileHeader Y
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ExtractAdjFile WriteTempTable Y

SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationProcess Proc prcAdjValidations
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationReport ReportClass ReportCSV
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationReport Ids Validation
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationReport RunTime 15:06
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationReport Schedule 2,3,4,5,6
SQLEDEV1 AdjProcessUtility ValidationReport DefaultFileName Adj_ValidationReport_MMDDYYHHMM.csv


etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Sid

Transact SQL :: Difference Between Inner Join And Left Outer Join In Multi-table Joins?

Oct 8, 2015

I was writing a query using both left outer join and inner join.  And the query was ....

SELECT
        S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname
FROM
        Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN
        (Production.Products AS P
         INNER JOIN Production.Categories AS C

[code]....

However ,the result that i got was correct.But when i did  the same query using the left outer join in both the cases

i.e..

SELECT
        S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname
FROM
        Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN
(Production.Products AS P
LEFT OUTER JOIN Production.Categories AS C
ON C.categoryid = P.categoryid)
ON
S.supplierid = P.supplierid
WHERE
S.country = N'Japan';

The result i got was same,i.e

supplier     country    productid    productname     unitprice    categorynameSupplier QOVFD     Japan     9     Product AOZBW    97.00     Meat/PoultrySupplier QOVFD    Japan   10     Product YHXGE     31.00     SeafoodSupplier QOVFD     Japan   74     Product BKAZJ    10.00     ProduceSupplier QWUSF     Japan    13     Product POXFU     6.00     SeafoodSupplier QWUSF     Japan     14     Product PWCJB     23.25     ProduceSupplier QWUSF    Japan     15    Product KSZOI     15.50    CondimentsSupplier XYZ     Japan     NULL     NULL     NULL     NULLSupplier XYZ     Japan     NULL     NULL     NULL     NULL

and this time also i got the same result.My question is that is there any specific reason to use inner join when join the third table and not the left outer join.

...

All other rows are joining as expected.
Why is it failing for this one row?

Merge Join (Full Outer Join) Never Finishes.

Jun 5, 2006

I have a merge join (full outer join) task in a data flow. The left input comes from a flat file source and then a script transformation which does some custom grouping. The right input comes from an oledb source. The script transformation output is asynchronous (SynchronousInputID=0). The left input has many more rows (200,000+) than the right input (2,500). I run it from VS 2005 by right-click/execute on the data flow task. The merge join remains yellow and the task never finishes. I do see a row count above the flat file destination that reaches a certain number and seems to get stuck there. When I test with a smaller file on the left it works OK. Any suggestions?

Self Join Outer Join Question

Oct 10, 2007

Given a table of building components e.g. floors, walls, etc, etc:

create table component_multiplier_table
(

system_code char(4),
system_component_code char(3),
function_code char(4),
component_multiplier dec(7,6)
)

Where function_code is the function of the area e.g. Auditorium, Classrom, etc, etc. And not all components are available for all functions e.g. Carpeting is available for Classrooms but not Power Plants or Warehouses.

I need to self join the above table to itself on system_code and system_component_code and find out which rows are missing from each side.

A query that I've been banging away at with no success is:

SELECT c1.*, c2.*
FROM [dbo].[component_multiplier_table] c1 FULL OUTER JOIN [dbo].[component_multiplier_table] c2
ON (c1.system_component_code = c2.system_component_code) AND (c1.[system_code] = c2.[system_code])
WHERE c1.function_code = '2120' AND c2.[function_code] = '2750' AND (c1.[system_code] IS NULL OR c2.system_code IS NULL);

I added the is null conditions, no joy. I've tried every flavor of outer join w/o success.

Could any T-SQL gurus out there help me figure out how to do this in a set before I start coding

DECLARE crsr CURSOR

Thanks.

Left Join Vs Left Outer Join Syntax Generates Different Execution Plans

Apr 16, 2008



Anyone know why using

SELECT *
FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id
instead of

SELECT *
FROM a LEFT JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id

generates a different execution plan?

My query is more complex, but when I change "LEFT OUTER JOIN" to "LEFT JOIN" I get a different execution plan, which is absolutely baffling me! Especially considering everything I know and was able to research essentially said the "OUTER" is implied in "LEFT JOIN".

Any enlightenment is very appreciated.

Thanks

OUTER JOIN

Jun 1, 2004

Oi! What follows is a hypothetical situation, but it is a totally analogous to a real problem Im having, but provides an easier model to understand.

Imagine that you have database-driven battleship game and its time to render the board. Also imagine that you have to render more than one board and that the ships are all the size of one point on the grid.

One sql result you need is a list of all the points on the grid, regardless of whether or not there is a ship on it. This will make rendering much easier for you, because you can simply look at the record index to determine if a ship is present. The data that is stored about the position of the ships consists of one record containing the grid index and ship name.

One possible way to retrieve this data is to build a table that you will not change which contains a record for each point on the grid. Is it possible to union or join on this table to retrieve a list of results that contain both unoccupied locations and occupied ones?

Here is what I've come up with, but it contains results that have a null location when there are no ship records:


SELECT
Grids.GridID,
Ships.GridLocation,
Ships.Name
FROM
Grids
FULL OUTER JOIN Ships
ON Ships.GridID = Grids.GridID
WHERE
Grids.PlayerID = 1

UNION-- (**not** UNION ALL)

SELECT
Grids.GridID,
GridLocations.GridLocation,
(SELECT ShipName FROM Ships WHERE GridID = Grids.GridID AND GridLocation = GridLocations.GridLocation)
FROM
GridLocations, Grids
WHERE
Grids.PlayerID = 1

Outer Join:

Aug 10, 2006

Here's the lookup table, tblLookup:

Task
SubTask
Subset
Superset
Description

And here's the more voluminous table, tblRecords, to which I need to join that:

Task
SubTask
Acct_cat
Actual_Amount
Budgeted_Amount

The problem is that the Task data in tblLookup consists only of the first 5 chars of the same kind of data in tblRecords (e.g., if a field on that record in tblRecords says "BILLYGOAT", that field in tblLookup is entered only as "BILLY").

How do I match them up?

Thanks.

Outer Join

Aug 31, 2006

Hello,

I am having problems with an outer join statement.
I have written a procedure that tests a table for missing and corrupt data and
to test my procedure, I take a table with 100% correct entries and corrupt them by hand. Then I test if my repaird data is looking like the correct data did.
To do the test, I copy the correct data into a temp table "copy", join it with the "repaired" table and check if any fields look different. The problem is, that i don't get the missing data. The statement is looking like this:

select o.*,'#',k.* from repaired o right outer join copy k on
(str(o.a) + 'A' + str(o.b) + 'A' + str(o.c) =str(k.a)+ 'A' + str(k.b) + 'A' + str(k.c) )
where
o.D<>k.D or
o.E<>k.E or
o.F<>k.F or
...

I have dont the concatenation because I thougt, that a join with 3 fields could be responsible for not finding the missing data in table "copy".
Before that it looked like:

... on (o.a=k.a and o.b=o.b and o.c = k.c) where ...

In table "copy" is a record missing that is in table "repaired".
Why is my statement not printingout that missing record?
Shouldn't be an outer join exactly what I have to use for finding missing data?

I anybody can help me, I would be very happy.

Why Right Outer Join ?

Mar 15, 2007

Why do we need a Right outer join, when we get the same results by swapping the order in which tables are specified in a Left join?

Outer Join Help

Apr 21, 2004

Ok....I have 3 tables.

Entity
--------
name
entity_key

Address
----------
street
zip
mailing_flag
entity_key

Phone
--------
phone_number
phone_type_key
entity_key


I want to see all of the Entity records with their corresponding Address and Phone records. (select e.name, a.street, a.zip, p.phone_number)But only show the Address record for that Entity if the mailing_flag is 'Y' and I only want to see the Top 1 Phone record where the phone_type_key = 'Home'. If the above criteria isn't met I just want to see nulls for the Address and Phone records.

My problem is getting ALL the Entity records to return. It only wants to give me the Entity records that have Address or Phone associated with them. That and somehow showing the Top 1 phone record for the Entity are my issues.

Any help would be much appreciated......Thanks!

How And Where Do I Add My Outer Join?

Apr 11, 2008

Hello,

I have the following script which is *sort of working* !!

The problem I have is that I need to add an outer join to one of the tables and I don't know where to add it or what the syntax is.

Basically, anyone who has an 'STRA' role in the contacts_roles table does not usually have an email address (shown as communications.notes). However, because I don't have any outer joins in place, the script is ignoring everyone who has an 'STRA' role and only pulling back those with an 'STRE' role.

Any help would be much appreciated as to how and where I put my outer join.

Thanks so much.

Jon



SELECT contacts.label_name, contact_positions.position, contact_roles.role, contact_roles.organisation_number, communications.notes, organisations.status, organisations.name, addresses.address, addresses.town, addresses.county, addresses.postcode
FROM bmf.dbo.addresses addresses, bmf.dbo.communications communications, bmf.dbo.contact_positions contact_positions, bmf.dbo.contact_roles contact_roles, bmf.dbo.contacts contacts, bmf.dbo.organisations organisations
WHERE contact_roles.contact_number = contacts.contact_number AND communications.contact_number = contacts.contact_number AND organisations.organisation_number = contact_roles.organisation_number AND addresses.address_number = organisations.address_number AND contact_positions.contact_number = contacts.contact_number AND contact_positions.organisation_number = organisations.organisation_number AND ((contact_roles.role In ('STRE','STRA')) AND (organisations.status In ('BRAN','FULL','HOLD')))
ORDER BY organisations.name

Outer Join

Jun 20, 2008

Help!
I have a query that runs fine with 2 outer joins, but I am using "*=" syntax and this won't work for SQL 2005.

I am replacing with 'LEFT OUTER JOIN'... I can get it to work okay for first join, but not when I add the second

Any idea

Help With Outer Join

Jun 30, 2006

Hi i am having problem getting a resultset in a specific format which i wanted

i am suppose to get this:

team_id|Student|student_not_yet_submitted
Team 1|A,B,C|A
Team 2|D,E,F|NULL

Where (team_id, student) and student_not_yet_submitted are from different tables. Issue of concatenating aside (i am able to do this with java loop), I derived them like this:

1st select=select team_id, student_name from team, student where (....) to get the 1st 2 columns.

To get the 3rd column,
my second select is the same as 1st select but it has an additional condition based on results from 1st select stmt (using the team_id passed in)

2nd select=select team_id, student_name from team where (..... and student_name not in (a 3rd query stmt with result based on team_id from 1st select statement))

i am trying to use left outer join on student_name to join the 2 stmt together, but i am stuck because the 2nd select statement (or rather the 3rd inner query) requires input from the 1st. is there a more efficient way of doing this?

Inner/Outer Join Help

Mar 6, 2008

Below is my query. I am a relative novice to SQL. I'd like to rewrite this with joins. All should be inner joins except for the last one Aritem to shmast. That should be a left outer join because not all of our invoices (in the Aritem tables) have actually been shipped.

How would I do this? I have already read through 2 SQL books, but the examples they give are much simpler than what I need to do. Here's the Query:

SELECT DISTINCT Ardist.fcacctnum, Ardist.fcrefname, Ardist.fccashid,
Ardist.fcstatus, Armast.fcinvoice, Armast.fbcompany, Armast.fcustno,
Ardist.fddate, Ardist.fnamount * -1 as fnAmount,
glmast.fcdescr,
shmast.fcstate,
slcdpm.fcompany as CompanyName
FROM ardist, glmast, armast, slcdpm, shmast, aritem
WHERE Glmast.fcacctnum = Ardist.fcacctnum
AND Armast.fcinvoice = SUBSTRING(Ardist.fccashid,8,20)
AND Ardist.fnamount <> 0
AND ((Ardist.fcrefname = 'INV' OR Ardist.fcrefname = 'CRM' OR Ardist.fcrefname = 'VOID')
AND Glmast.fccode = 'R')
AND armast.fcustno = slcdpm.fcustno
AND armast.fcinvoice = aritem.fcinvoice
AND left(aritem.fshipkey,6) = shmast.fshipno

RIGHT OUTER JOIN?

Jul 20, 2005

In my (admittedly brief) sojurn as an SQL programmer I've often admired"outer joins" in textbooks but never really understood their use. I'vefinally come across a problem that I think is served by an outer join.-- This table stores the answer to each test questionCREATE TABLE TestResults (studentIdvarchar (15)NOT NULL,testIdintNOT NULL REFERENCES Tests(testId),qIdintNOT NULL REFERENCES TestQuestions(qId),responseintNOT NULL REFERENCES TestDistractors(dId),CONSTRAINT PK_TestResultsPRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED (testId, studentId, qId),)-- This table defines which questions are on which testsCREATE TABLE TestQuestions_Tests (testIdintNOT NULL REFERENCESTests(testId),qIdintNOT NULL REFERENCESTestQuestions(qId),)(Table Tests contains housekeeping information about a particular test,TestQuestions defines individual questions, TestDistractors lists thepossible responses.)In schematic form, the simplest form of my problem is to find all thequestions that haven't been answered. That would be:SELECT tqt.qIdFROM TestResults AS trRIGHT OUTER JOIN TestQuestions_Tests AS tqtON tr.testId = tqt.testId AND tr.qId = tqt.qIdWHERE tr.qId is NULLSo far I think this is pretty straightforward and an efficient solution.Agreed?But my real problem is a little bit more complex. What I really want toknow is "for a given student, on a given test, which questions haven'tbeen answered?"So now I have:SELECT tqt.qIdFROM TestResults AS trRIGHT OUTER JOIN TestQuestions_Tests AS tqtON tr.testId = tqt.testId AND tr.qId = tqt.qIdWHERE tqt.testId = '1' AND tr.studentId = '7' AND tr.qId IS NULLIs this the canonical form of the solution to my problem? It seems tome like it is generating a whole slew of rows and then filtering them.Is there a more elegant or efficient way to do it?-- Rick

Using Outer Join

Feb 24, 2007

Hi

Wonder if any could help be putting together a SQl select statement. I have 2 tables of road-data, one having default data for the area, and one with actual data. They look like this:

Create table AreaDefaults {
AreaCode Int(3),
RoadCode Int(3)
}
Insert into table AreaDefaults values (34, 21);
Insert into table AreaDefaults values (35, 21);
Insert into table AreaDefaults values (36, 21);
Insert into table AreaDefaults values (37, 21);


Create table AreaRoadCode {
AreaCode Int(3),
RoadCode Int(3),
ZipCode Varchar(20)
}
Insert into table AreaRoadCode values (34, 12, '2800 L');
Insert into table AreaRoadCode values (34, 13, '2900 K');
Insert into table AreaRoadCode values (36, 18, '0900 O');


I would like to make an SQL select statement, where I join the two tables, producing the following result:

AreaCode RoadCode ZipCode
==============================
34 12 2800 L
34 13 2900 K
35 21
36 18 0900 O
37 21


Kan anybody tell me, how I do that?

/Michael
