dear all
i need to write SQL Query that compares 2 tables as folows:
lets say i have:
table A with A.A, A.B, A.C columns (Table A with Columns A,B,C)
table B with B.A, B.B, B.C columns (Table B with Columns A,B,C)
i need to compare and to mark (get in result Query) each row lets say in table B that was changed from table A
For Example
Table A
A B C
12 15 hello
15 17 adv
asd 19 23
14 rer 89
Table B
A B C
12 15 hello
15 19 adv
*** 19 23
14 rer 89
the result is the records which was changed from A to B
Can someone please help me figure out how I can write a select statement that returns a row from one table and the count of records from the second table using the row name from the first table?
In other words: First table has only one column "name" and that table name is called "namelist" Second table has multiple columns, and the table is called "name" so, what i want to do is something like: select name from namelist and select count(*) from [name]
I am trying to write a query to compare the same column in each table with "not equal" expression.
My query is like this:
select tableOne.empl_ser_no from tableOne, tableTwo where tableOnel.empl_ser_no <>(select empl_ser_no from tableTwo)
I am getting the following message from SQL Server:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1 Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is illegal when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >=, or when the subquery is used as an expression. Command has been aborted.
I am new to writing the queries in SQL.I want to write a query which will compare the data of two tables which are resides in DEV server and PROD Server.For the conncetivity purpose we are creating the DB link between DEV and PROD server.query to compare the data of table in DEV and table in PROD
I have a database I want to query. It is a medical billing system. I basically want to compare a list of Names and Birthdates in an Excel spreadsheet to the table of patients in the database that have that insurance type and return only the rows from the spreadsheet that don't exist in the database.
This is an eligibility list, so we need to find those that don't have this insurance set up for them in our billing system and update their records.
We will probably want to do the update manually so I don't mess it up too bad , but would like to zero in on who needs the updates rather than having to look at every single record.
Any ideas on how to approach this?
Would this be a join, or would I need to do a select from table 1 where pt/insurance not in select pt/ins from table 2?
I am trying to QA data being put into a SQL database by an outside source (from Excel) and therefore need to compare two (for the sake of simplicity) tables within a database to one another.
The two tables should contain the same data, and the QA process is meant to find and report any discrepancies. The column names are slightly different.
My question then is, is it possible to write a simple SQL query which will compare the data from the two tables and select only those rows where the data in any given column does not match? My data is mostly text, not numerical.
I'm very new at using SQL and my knowledge of the query syntax is very basic.
Table 1 has "Gender" field with "Male" and "Female" in it, table 2 has "Gender" field with "M" and "F" in it. a query to compare data and list the differences.
I am using 3 tables: projects, project_manager and project_employee
projects
- project_id (int, PK) - project_name
project_manager
- project_id (int, PK) - manager_id (int, PK)
project_employee
- project_id (int, PK) - employee_id (int, PK)
Assume that a manager is currently logged in (so we know what is his ID), what I trying to do is write a query that will display a grid-view showing:
project_id, project_name and number of employees in project.
I tried these quires to test:
SELECT project_id, count(emp_id) as NumberOfEmployees into #tempTable FROM project_employee WHERE project_id IN (SELECT project_id FrOM projects) GROUP BY project_id
SELECT projects.project_id, projects.project_name, NumberOfEmployees FROM projects, #tempTable WHERE projects.project_id = #tempTable.project_id
Problems are: 1 - I used two queries not one 2 - The result is for all projects of all managers, I just want to display projects for a specific manager (for example mag_id = 5) 3 - it created a temporary table - which I dont want.
Is there anyway to get what I want in a single query?
This is my first post and I am probably not using the correct terminology but I will try. I want to compare the value of one of my fields in a result set to the value of the same column/field, but from the previous row in the result set. I am trying to identify the row in the result set when the value in a specified column changes value. I want to identify this row by placing a 1 in the last column. If that value did not change, then place a 0 in the last column. I am not sure if this will make sense to anyone out there. Please let me know if more clarification is needed and I will try to provide it. Thanks for all your help in advance.
I am looking for a tool to compare the result sets.
Is there any free tool or Microsoft built in tool that we can use to compare the result sets. Suppose if I change one thing in code and needs to test the am I getting the same result set or not? Instead of doing manually is there any way to compare both result set.
when I'm in MediaImportLog , I want use column ImportSource to compare with column ChainCode in table BillerChain ( so I get BillerInfoCode) and then use the BillerInfoCode I got to compare with column BillerCode in Table Bill ( I get CompanyCode) finally I use CompanyCode to compare with column CompanyCode in table DataBackup so I can get the company's keepmonth How can I get the keepmonth? can I use parameters ?
HI, I ran a select * from customers where state ='va', this is the result...
(29 row(s) affected) The following file has been saved successfully: C:outputcustomers.rpt 10826 bytes
I choose Query select to a file then when I tried to open the customer.rpt from the c drive I got this error message. I am not sure why this happend invalid TLV record
As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
I need to compare two identical tables and return the rows that are different,they are not having any primary key. Anyone to help with the query? Thanks.
Is it possible (easily) to compare two identical tables (one from server1 'SQL7', one a download from an Oracle DB into SQL7) to see if the Oracle table has changed, what is the changed row and place said row into another table to do some other process on those changed rows?
Need help with the structuring of the following query: I've got 2 tables nl :tableA, tableB I need to do a query to determine wat DISTINCT values of a column(cIdNo) in tableA is not present in column (bIdNo) in tableB.
tableA contains Id numbers of people who still has to pay their bills, and tableB contains Id numbers of people who already paid. So I want a query to determine who still needs to pay.
I've tried the following but doesn't work, not to sure if it's the right wayto do it:
PHP Code:
SELECT distinct(cIdno) as IdNumber FROM tableA LEFT JOIN tableB ON tableA.cIdNo != tableB.bIdNo
I have two the same structure tables. One is the source table (table1), another one is the destination table (table2).
Now I want to compare these two table row by row.
For example,
If table1 row1 is the same as table2 row1, go to next If table1 row2 is not the same as table2 row2, update table2 row2 to make it the same as table1 row2. If table1 row3 is not existed in table2 row3, insert table1 row3 into table2 blank new row.
Table 1 - Is named LIVE Table 2 - Is name EOM (End of Month)
The 2 tables have these fields MEMBER STREET
I want to build a query that will return any member who has changed their address (ex: member's eom address is "123 main st", and now their live address is "345 apple st")
But I do not want to display any addresses that are different because that member wasn't a member last month (not in the eom table)
Note: Member Numbers Never Change, only addresses will.
hi, I'm pretty new to ssis so this may be an absolute beginner question but i couldn't find a solution yet. the task is to compare data from tow tables which are of the same structure. table1 contains data before some operations and table2 contains the results. now i have to find out which datasets have been changed, which one are new and which one are gone.
i've done some googlin and found this TableDifference http://www.sqlbi.eu/Projects/TableDifference/tabid/74/Default.aspx component, but to me it seems to be kind of buggy, so I had the idea of trying to set an sql statement on both ole db sources where i tried to select only the datasets that are not contained in the other table. so i tried something like this:
select * from lib.table_1 except select * from lib.table_2
but this doesn't work either. so i would be really thankful if someone could help me.
I know this sounds simple, but I haven't seen it in bol. I need to compare two tables, and list what rows are unique to each table. Thanks for the help!
Can anyone give me the query that I can use to to compare the data between two similar tables.Data from col1,col2,col3,col4 needs to be compared. Col1 is primary key in both the tables.It should return with zero rows if they are same. Thanks for any help.
I have 2 tables , table 1 and table 2. Exact copies of some records from table 1 also exist in table 2. What i need to do is display records that exist in table 1 but do not exist in table 2.
I want to compare the tables using first name, and I have a log variable which I want to have the value as per the differences in the table that is if the first name matches and second name and dob dont match it shows log value for that FN as 'LN and DOB dont match'.
similarly if First name matches and dob matches then @log is 'LN not match'.
And in case all three match it should show 'match'as log value.The query I use is a s follows:-
Code: USE testing GO DECLARE @NR int DECLARE @log varchar(200) SELECT @NR = COUNT(*) FROM a WHILE @NR>0
I need to compare if two developers did the job correctly and created identical tables.
The problem is more complex, but I will try to solve it somehow if I solve the problem of comparing two tables (let them be in different SQL Server 2008 databases) and their properties. No data needs to be compared.
I have 2 tables. They both have the same fields [OFO_Code] and [Description]
Table 1 is Called Qualification and Table 2 OFO_Code. The second table is a lookup table. The info in Table 1 's description column in some places does not match that of Table 2.
I am trying to loop through these tables to Update the info in Table 1's description to match the correct description in Table 2.
Their are 1417 items in Table 2 and 77000 items in table 1.
There are NO errors when executing, just no update
Here is my code so far:
Code: Update Qualification SET [Description] = B.Description FROM Qualification A INNER JOIN OFO_code B ON A.OFO_CODE = B.OFO_CODE WHERE A.OFO_Code IN ('" & OFO & "' )"
1 st column 'A1Ctest' 2 nd column 'diagnoising heart disease' and my 3 rd column is combination of both columns 'A1Ctest for diagnoising heart disease'.Here i need to comapre 'A1Ctest' from 1st column and 'diagnoising heart disease' from 2 nd column
ans writes "I’m using SQL Server • I’ve got 3 tables: tblOne, tblTwo, tblThree • Using the stored procedure(let call this stored procedure sp_Result) I generate result using all the above tables(tblOne, tblTwo, tblThree). • The problem is, it takes too long to execute(around 15 sec), which is not acceptable as I’m using in the result in the web application • I’m thinking of scheduling to run the above stored procedure to run once every hour and write the result in a new table, tblResult. • now the user only queries in the tblResult tables.

In the process of purging data to history tables, we wanted to make sure that no schema changes have been done to the main or the history table. So to ensure identical schemas, we use this function:
