Changing Multiple *= On Same 2 Tables To Outer Joi
Mar 3, 2008
I'm trying to convert this statement to use left outer joins so it will be 2005 compatible.
select
convert(varchar(8),a.order_no),
a.order_ext,
a.line_no,
c.part_no,
a.order_seq,
a.customer_code,
b.date_shipped,
0,
a.seq_descript
from fm_orderline a, orders b, ord_list c, fm_ordhist d
where c.order_no = a.order_no
and c.order_ext = a.order_ext
and c.line_no = a.line_no
and c.order_no *= d.order_no
and c.order_ext *= d.order_ext
and c.line_no *= d.line_no
and b.order_no = c.order_no
and b.ext = c.order_ext
and d.line_no <> 999
and c.status = 'T'
group by
d.order_no,
convert(varchar(8),a.order_no),
a.order_ext,
a.line_no,
c.part_no,
a.order_seq,
a.customer_code,
b.date_shipped,
a.seq_descript
having d.order_no is null
I've tried this:
select
convert(varchar(8),a.order_no) as order_no,
a.order_ext,
a.line_no,
c.part_no,
a.order_seq,
a.customer_code,
b.date_shipped,
0,
a.seq_descript
from fm_orderline a, orders b,
ord_list c
left outer join fm_ordhist AS d on (c.order_no = d.order_no)
left outer join fm_ordhist AS d2 ON (c.order_ext = d2.order_ext)
left outer join fm_ordhist AS d3 ON (c.line_no = d3.line_no)
where c.order_no = a.order_no
and c.order_ext = a.order_ext
and c.line_no = a.line_no
and b.order_no = c.order_no
and b.ext = c.order_ext
and d.line_no <> 999
and c.status = 'T'
And various derivations of it(adding d2.line_no <> 999 and d3.line_no <> 999 to the where clause.) But it came up with different results than what I received when it was a *= query.
I'm trying to join 3 tables in an outer join since I am loosing records that need to be included if I only use an inner join. I am pulling data from an MSDE database using the microsoft query tool.
The problem is that I get the message that I can't use an outer join on a query with more than 2 tables, but that can't be right can it?
I'm a SQL code novice so any help would be greatly appreciated!
SELECT Article.articleId , Article.articleName , Article.articleStatus , Articlegroup_2.ArticlegroupId , Articlegroup_2.g2_key , Articlegroup_2.g2_name , articleGroup.articleGroupId FROM HIP.dbo.Article Article, HIP.dbo.articleGroup articleGroup, HIP.dbo.Articlegroup_2 Articlegroup_2 WHERE articleGroup.articleGroupId = Article.articleGroupId AND Article.articleGroupId2 = Articlegroup_2.Articlegroup_2_Id
I'm trying to join 2 tables in an outer join, but MS Query won't let me do this because I have another 2 tables included in an inner join ("only two tables are allowed in an outer join"). I am pulling data from an MSDE database using the microsoft query tool.
I'm a SQL code novice so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is my existing SQL query (without the new outer join table):
I am trying to select specific columns from multiple tables based on acommon identifier found in each table.For example, the three tables:PUBACC_ACPUBACC_AMPUBACC_ANeach have a common column:PUBACC_AC.unique_system_identifierPUBACC_AM.unique_system_identifierPUBACC_AN.unique_system_identifierWhat I am trying to select, for example:PUBACC_AC.namePUBACC_AM.phone_numberPUBACC_AN.zipwhere the TABLE.unique_system_identifier is common.For example:----------------------------------------------PUBACC_AC=========unique_system_identifier name1234 JONES----------------------------------------------PUBACC_AM=========unique_system_identifier phone_number1234 555-1212----------------------------------------------PUBACC_AN=========unique_system_identifier zip1234 90210When I run my query, I would like to see the following returned as oneblob, rather than the separate tables:-------------------------------------------------------------------unique_system_identifier name phone_number zip1234 JONES 555-1212 90210-------------------------------------------------------------------I think this is an OUTER JOIN? I see examples on the net using a plussign, with mention of Oracle. I'm not running Oracle...I am usingMicrosoft SQL Server 2000.Help, please?P. S. Will this work with several tables? I actually have about 15tables in this mess, but I tried to keep it simple (!??!) for the aboveexample.Thanks in advance for your help!NOTE: TO REPLY VIA E-MAIL, PLEASE REMOVE THE "DELETE_THIS" FROM MY E-MAILADDRESS.Who actually BUYS the cr@p that the spammers advertise, anyhow???!!!(Rhetorical question only.)
I'm trying to run a SELECT on 3 tables: Class, Enrolled, Waiting. I want to select the name of the class, the count of the students enrolled, and the count of the students waiting to enroll.
My current query...
SELECT Class.Name, COUNT(Enrolled.StudentID) AS EnrolledCount, COUNT(Waiting.StudentID) AS WaitingCount FROM Class LEFT OUTER JOIN
Enrolled ON Class.ClassID = Enrolled.ClassID LEFT OUTER JOIN
Waiting ON Class.ClassID = Waiting.ClassID GROUP BY Class.Name
...results in identical counts for enrolled and waiting, which I know to be incorrect. Furthermore, it appears that the counts are being multiplied together (in one instance, enrolled should be 14, waiting should be 2, but both numbers come back as 28).
If I run this query without one of the joined tables, the counts are accurate. The problem only occurs when I try to pull counts from both the tables.
Can anyone find the problem with my query? Should I be using something other than a LEFT OUTER JOIN?
Apologies if this has been raised in the past, but 6 hours of web searching today hasn't turned up anything!
I'd like to use the Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) Wizard to keep track of tables in my relational database. This means 200+ tables. I don't want to step through the UI Wizard for each table. Ideally I'd like to be able to create the SCD transformation in code, but I can find no good examples for doing this. The MSDN examples here are too brief and don't allow me to expand out to the level I need.
As in any database, columns come and (very rarely, go), and having a programmatic solution to this would mean that I could be flexible and cope with these situations.
So, my question is: Has anyone implemented SCD functionality in code, or have any code examples that do this, that I might learn from. Or, any tips/pointers if I'm barking up totally the wrong tree.
I need to do multiple left outer join to return search profiles that could contain NULL in them that could also be foreign keys. I bolded the three IDs that could be NULL or have a foreign key for a value. An example with my code would be great I've tried decyphering the many employee and company examples on the web but I haven't figured it out yet. Right now I only get profiles that have foreign key values and it misses the rest in the search. So NULL MakeID or ModelID no result on that item my SQL statement below. Using SQL Server 2005. Pretty new this to SQL and databases but so far this has been the only trying part.
Thanks
String dbsql = "SELECT a.EquipmentID " + " , a.SerialNo " + " , b.Category " + " , c.Subcategory " + " , d.Make " + " , e.Model " + " , f.Status " + " FROM tblEquipInfo a " + " , tblEquipCat b " + " , tblEquipSubcat c " + " , tblEquipMake d " + " , tblEquipModel e " + " , tblStatus f " + " WHERE b.Category = '" + val + "' " + " AND a.CategoryID = b.CategoryID " + " AND a.SubcategoryID = c.SubcategoryID " + " AND a.MakeID = d.MakeID " + " AND a.ModelID = e.ModelID " + " AND a.StatusID = f.StatusID";
Hi! I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout. I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access. The 3 categories of data access are:
1 is for configuration-related data. There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.
1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data. The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.
1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup. There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data. When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system. That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables. I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file. For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data. And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB. So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach. If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
Is it possible to utilize more than two tables in a single outer join? I have one table that I want every row and 18 others where I only want an entry if one is present meeting the conditions of "1.customerid = 2.Customerid" etc. I haven't run across this before and would appreciate any help.
Is it possible to do a full outer join on more than 2 tables, i've been looking for the syntax online but can't seem to find it, so far i have
FROM dbo.TRNEWL_RTENTN_DETL RR FULL OUTER JOIN VBVT_FIN_DIV_TRANSF ON RR.X_POLICY_NO = VBVT_FIN_DIV_TRANSF.X_POLICY_NO and RR.X_POLICY_EFCTV_DT= VBVT_FIN_DIV_TRANSF.X_POLICY_EFCTV_DT and RR.X_ASCO_CD = VBVT_FIN_DIV_TRANSF.X_ASCO_CD and RR.PRODUCT_RENWL_ABBR = VBVT_FIN_DIV_TRANSF.PRODUCT_RENWL_ABBR
Now i need to do another Full outer join to RR with table VBVT_FIN_RGN_TRANSF, is that possible?
What is the best way to use a left join in a SQL statement with multiple tables (more than 2)? I have a query that uses 7 tables, where most of the joins are inner joins, except for one, which needs to be a left join. The current SQL statement looks something like this:
FROM [table1],[table2],[table3],[table4],[table5],[table6],[table7] WHERE [table4].[field2]=[table1.field2]{this is an inner join} [table4].[field2]=[table2.field2]{this is an inner join} [table4].[field2]=[table3.field2]{this is an inner join} [table4].[field2]=[table5.field2]{this is an inner join} [table5].[field3]=[table6.field2]{this is an inner join} [table5].[field4]=[table7.field2]{this is needs to be a left join}
As it stands now, the last line in the WHERE clause is an INNER JOIN and limits the number of rows in my result. I need to select rows from [table7].[field2] whether or not a matching record exists in [table5].[field4]. The other INNER JOINS in the SQL statement must have matching records. Please advise.
I need a small help in creating a join query in sql.
My two tables are A and B. A has got columns id, dname, counter and date. B has got two columns link and date. The primary key of A is the column Id whereas in table B, both are primary keys(composite key).
I need to get the records (id,dname,counter) from A which has no corresponding link in table B.
To be precise, If the table A has fields (id,dname,counter) (1,abc,2000) and if table B has no record for abc, this row should be returned from A.I hope using left outer join will help me in getting my desired result.I hope someone will be able to help me out.
Hello,I'm trying to link two tables... one for Employees and the other forTimecardsI need to get a list of employees that do not have timecards on anSPECIFIC DATEI tried the follonwingSELECT Employess.EmployeeIDFROM Employees LEFT OUTER JOIN Timecards on Employees.EmployeeID =Timecards.lmpEmployeeIDWHERE lmpEmployeeID is NULL and lmpTimecardDate = '10/24/2007'But it doesn't work. However, when I comment the date condition out(lmpTimecardDate = '10/24/2007') it works all right but It's not whatI needAnother interesting point... if I use the following query... it worksall rightSELECT Employess.EmployeeIDFROM EmployeesWHERE Employees.EmployeeID not in (select Timecards.EmployeeID fromTimecardswhere TimecardDate = '10/24/2007')I'd like to be able to use the Left Outer Join option.... Am I doingsomething wrong?... or is it that if It doesn't like the condition I'musgin in the WHERE clause (TimecardDate = '10/24/2007')Thanks for your helpPablo
I want to use multiple datasets in a table and wants to do the full outer join on the two datasets in the same table. For example, my two datasets are:
I want to display a ssrs table like: Both the datasets are coming from different sources. So I cannot integrate them at sql query level.
I'm new to ms-sqlserver ( 2000 ) and need to get an OUTER JOIN workingon a three table query.Assumptions:-- I have events in the Event table.-- Each event CAN have one Transaction, but it's not guaranteed-- Each transaction, ir present, will have one or more Amount recordsThis would be the pseudo-query without any special joins:-----------------------------------------SELECTa.Name,SUM( c.amount ) as TotalFROMEvent a,Transaction b,Amounts cWHEREa.EventID = b.EventIDANDb.TransID = c.TransID-----------------------------------------This is fine if there is a Transaction for the Event. But, if there'sno transaction for an event, no record is pulled of course.What I need is for a record to come back for each event regardless ofthe presence of a Transaction. If there's no transaction, then the"Total" column should be 0.How would I get an OUTER JOIN to work on this so that each Event gets arecord?TIA-BEP
I have a SQL database (10000 records / 50 users) that stores information on faxes that we receive. This will sound odd but the last few days some weird things have happened. Chunks of data change arbitrarily - no script that I have can make these changes. Couple examples:
1) the number of pages will change from 1 to 3 - not every entry just a group and usuall ones that have a particular status 2) the status will change from CTW to PFR - not every CTW will change just a chunk
There appears to be no pattern to these changes.
Again, no script that I have can make these changes. This happened 6 months ago and I reinstalled service packs (NT and SQL), reinstalled data components and defragged the hard drive. The problem stopped either because of one of these actions or either on it's own. I have done all of these things this time but nothing has worked. Anyone have any ideas?? Any help is appreciated.
I have one page, one connection, and three dropdowns. The connection looks like (as an example):<asp:SqlDataSource ID="DropDownConn" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:aousConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [Value], [Text] FROM [DropDown] WHERE (([Group] = @Group) AND ([Viewable] = @Viewable))"> <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="Group" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="True" Name="Viewable" Type="Boolean" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource> The DropDowns Look like this: <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDown1" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList><asp:DropDownList ID="DropDown2" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList><asp:DropDownList ID="DropDown3" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList>The C# Code I am trying is like this:DropDownConn.SelectParameters["Group"].Equals("DropDown1");DropDownConn.SelectParameters["Viewable"].Equals(true);DropDown1.DataSourceID = "DropDownConn";DropDown1.DataTextField = "Text";DropDown1.DataValueField = "Value";DropDown1.DataBind(); As an example. I can not get it done so that I don't have to create 3 dataconnections. Any help, PLEASE?
130 dtsx packages using 4 matching connections. 3 of those connections are stored in an SSIS Configuration table in an Operational database. The last connection is in a shared data source and points to the Operational database so the packages can grab the others.
Problem:
It's time for deployment and all of those connections must change to production servers. The 3 are no issue, just change the ConfiguredValue in the SSIS Configuration table on the production box to point to the other production servers. However, the fourth one... I had made an assumption that when you changed a shared data source it filtered down throughout all the packages. We all know what assumptions do to you.... So. I need a way to change all 130 connections (and be able to change ALL packages quickly and simply for other projects in the future)
Solution:
It has been suggested that we use another package to run though all of the packages and change the connection with a script task. I can live with this (and more importantly so can our DBS's who have to deploy).
I have one snippet of code to ADD a connection using a variable holding the connection string, but we dont' want to add one, just change an existing one.
Has anyone else done this? Or had a similar problem and way to fix?
We are likely to have many projects in which the connections MUST change at deployment, and the idea of going into every package to make the change is sad at best... We would be more likely to move back to a competitor's product that has a connection repository, than continue with SSIS.
Hi,I was just wondering... Is there any built-in function in MS SQL, which willallow me to do rows' "capitalisation"?Lets say that in database.table.name I've got:"FOO BAR LTD.", which I want to change to "Foo Bar Ltd.""Foo bar LTD.", which I want to be "Foo Bar Ltd.".Is there any way of doing this or do I have to read it from database, changein some script, and then insert it back into the table?Hope it's all clear ;-)Thank you,Martin
I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.
I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query: SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount, T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo. 30429 Cheque 250 Deposit 250
30429 679.98 250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result. So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
I have a couple of hundred flat files to import into database tables using SSIS.
The files can be divided into groups by the format they use. I understand that I could import each group of files that have a common format at the same time using a Foreach Loop Container.
However, the example for the Foreach Loop Container has multiple files all being imported into the same database table. In my case, each file needs to be imported into a different database table.
Is it possible to import each set of files with the same format into different tables in a simple loop? I can't see a way to make a Data Flow Destination item accept its table name dynamically, which seems to prevent me doing this.
I suppose I could make a different Data Flow Destination item for each file, in the Data Flow. Would that be a reasonable solution, or is there a simpler solution, or should I just resign myself to making a separate Data Flow for every single file?
I need to drop and recreate indexes in some of my tables that are currently been replicated. I am not sure how this will affect my ongoing replication. Will this cause a problem for me? Please help
Hello I am building a survey application. I have 8 questions. Textbox - Call reference Dropdownmenu - choose Support method Radio button lists - Customer satisfaction questions 1-5 Multiline textbox - other comments. I want to insert textbox, dropdown menu into a db table, then insert each question score into a score column with each question having an ID. I envisage to do this I will need an insert query for the textbox and dropdownlist and then an insert for each question based on ID and score. Please help me! Thanks Andrew
I need to be able to bulk insert a bunch of tables from their corresponding flat file. I have created an XML file (see below) which has the file name/table name pair at each node. I then created a ForEachLoop task and used the Node enumeration type and the following OuterXpathString: ReferenceFiles/File. At this point I get lost. How do I pass the 2 inside node values (file name and table name) to variables which I can then use as expressions for the bulk insert task inside the Foreach?
I used the data export wizard to export a single table to a single flat file (multiple wasn't allowed). I saved the package as a *.dtsx file which I'm attempting to edit to add the additional tables.
Creating additional sources is fairly easy copy of the first source and change to the table name.
I've tried copying the destination connection and changing to a new text file, but can't get past having to add each column manually to the new destination.
How can I duplicate the mapping that must be taking place in the wizard in the *.dtsx editing environment?
This seems like a simple / common task, but I've been unable to find a solution.
i have a database with 300 tables. All the data types of the fields of my tables are custom. Ex. IFGint:int and stuff like that.
I want to know how can i through a stored procedure, change in batch mode all the fields of my tables. I don't want to modify by hand everytable. It's a lot of work and i think that maybe there might be a way for this programatically.
