FROM dbo.EmployeeTerritories INNER JOIN
dbo.Employees ON dbo.EmployeeTerritories.EmployeeID = dbo.Employees.EmployeeID
WHERE (dbo.EmployeeTerritories.TerritoryID = N'30346')
////////// end of sql statement

Thanks

How To Run Delete Query / Delete Several Rows Just By One Click ?

Feb 16, 2008

I'm using SqlDataSource and an Access database. Let's say I got two tables:user: userID, usernamemessage: userID, messagetextLet's say a user can register on my website, and leave several messages there. I have an admin page where I can select a user and delete all of his messages just by clicking one button.What would be the best (and easiest) way to make this?Here's my suggestion:I have made a "delete query" (with userID as parameter) in MS Access. It deletes all messages of a user when I type in the userID and click ok.Would it be possible to do this on my ASP.net page? If yes, what would the script look like?(yes, it is a newbie question)

Multi-table JOIN Query With More Than One JOIN Statement

Apr 14, 2015

I'm having trouble with a multi-table JOIN statement with more than one JOIN statement.

For each order, I need to return the following: CarsID, CarModelName, MakeID, OrderDate, ProductName, Total ordered the Car Category.

The carid (primary key) and carmodelname belong to the Cars table.
The makeid and orderdate belong to the OrderDetails table.
The productname and carcategory belong to the Product table.

The number of rows returned should be the same as the number of rows in OrderDetails.

Why Does My Query Timeout Unless Force Join To Hash Join?

Jul 25, 2007

I'm using SQL Server 2005.

A piece of software I wrote starting timing out on a query that left outer joins a table to a view. Both the table and view have approximately the same number of rows (about 170000).

The table has 2 very similar columns, one is a varchar(1) and another is varchar(100). Neither are included in any index and beyond the size difference, the columns have the same properties. One of the employees here uses the varchar(1) column (called miscsearch) to tag large sets of rows to perform some action on. In this case, he had set 9000 rows miscsearch value to "g". The query then should join the table and view for all rows where miscsearch is set to g in the table. This query takes at least 20 minutes to run (I stopped it at this point).

If I remove the "where" clause and join all rows in the two tables, the query completes in about 20 seconds. If set the varchar(100) column (called descrip) to "g" for the same rows set via miscsearch, the query completes in about 20 seconds.

If I force the join type to a hash join, the query completes using miscsearch in about 30 seconds.

So, this works:

SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER HASH JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC

and this works:

SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE descrip = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC

But this does't:

SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC

What should I be looking for here to understand why this is happening?

Thanks,

john

Delete Query

Feb 28, 2008

Hi
I need some help on a query. I need to delete some records from a table, this table has a dependency to another table
Table 1: dbo.Accounts and Table 2: dbo.AccountsToUser
In the dbo.Accounts table there are
AccountId and OwnedByAccountId
54708002 54708001 54708003 54708001 65708002 65708001 65708003 65708001 54708001 2233440165708001 NULL
In the dbo.AccountsToUser there are
AccountId and UserId
65708002 10065708003 10165708003 10465708003 10654708001 19465708002 199
What I need is to delete every record from dbo.AccountsToUser that has an account connection to an account in the dbo.Accounts that has OwnedByAccount like NULL
So in the example above I should delete from dbo.AccountsToUser
65708002 10065708003 10165708003 10465708003 106
Since they are connected to 65708001 which has OwnedByAccountStatus like NULL
I could delete the records manually since the table is still hand able, but I need this to be a daily job so all help would be very nice
Thanks!

Query Regarding Delete

Feb 21, 2008

Hi All

I am beginner ot SQL Server.
I want to know that when we delete a row or a set of Rows from a table, it'll only make the space available for subsequent inserts into it or will the Delete also free the memory used by the table.

Suppose I am inserting customer records in the details table when the customer comes into the system. If i make a logic to delete the customer record from the table and insert into the backup table when it leaves the system(As the data inserted is quite large and my application queries into this table at each transaction). Will it help in optimizing the SQL Queries or it is useless to do so.

Thanks
Harsh Dhawan

I need to figure out how to delete infro from the

I Have multiple records ffor the given above variable.

Would this need to loop in order to work and that is the solution for this.

SQL Query - Delete All Rows Bar The Last 10? Help Please!

Jan 6, 2008

Hi,
I'm really not very good at SQL sadly, so would really appreciate any help.
I'm basically working on a website that has a chatroom. I want it so the chatroom table only holds, say 15 lines of chat, then once a new line of chat is entered the last line in the table is deleted, so the table always has a maximum of just 15 rows.
The fields are:
MessageID
Poster
Message
DateTime
I've tried my best, but just don't know how to do it.
I suppose it's something like:
SELECT TOP 15 * FROM Chatroom ORDER BY MessageID DESC - this gives me the last 15 rows.
Then I need a delete statement to delete the rest?! Sorry, I am very bad at SQL, so any help would be great. This is written in a stored procedure.
Can the stored procedure pick up whether there are 15 or more rows in the table, and if so then delete all bar the newest 15 rows of chat?
To summarise: I want a stored procedure that checks if 15 or more rows exist, if they do then delete all bar the newest 15 rows.
Thanks,
Ricky

Unusual Delete Query

Oct 3, 2000

We're trying to construct a query that deletes records containing 48 particular phone numbers from a large db. The 48 numbers are the entire contents of a smaller db, in a field of the same name as in the larger db (home_phone). We're using Sequel Server 7.0 and Access 97. The db's are in Access now. We failed in Acess and now would like to import into sql and try it there.

Complex Delete Query Help.

Jul 27, 2007

Hello,

I have a db with 4 tables are linked by different fields. I'll setup a general layout for you in hopes of getting some assistance with write a delete query based on a date range. T is table, f is field.

T1.F1 = T3.F1
T1.F2 = T2.F2
T1.F3 = T4.F3
T1.F4 = T2.F4 {DATE}

so as you can see, this will be an embedded delete of some type but I have to somehow cache the deleted values so that these values can be used for the parent delete (I think).

I'm new to this stuff so...let me know if my approach is wrong. Perhaps it was a poorly written db. I have to purge about 5GB worth of data.

Thanks in advance,
Sid.
