I can't get my head around this:
I want to select all IDs from table A that do not have a related record in
table B according to some condition:
Table A contains, say, Parents and table B contains Children. I want to
select all Parents that have no children called "Sally" (this is a noddy
example, reminds me of being at Uni again :) ).
Any ideas?
Thanks
I need to delete records from a table (Table1) which has a foreign key column in a related table (Table2).
Table1 columns are: table1Id; Name. Table2 columns include Table2.table1Id which is the foreign key to Table1.
What is the syntax to delete records from Table1 using Table1.Name='some name' and remove any records in Table2 that have Table2.table1Id equal to Table1.table1Id?
The problem of mine is, I have a datagrid, Which displays data from a Employee(parent) table.
Now I want to delete some records based on the user selected checkbox,only those records which has no related records in the EmployeeProject(child) can be deleted.I want to know which are all the record that cannot be deleted?
How can I achieve this?
I have around 3 tables having around 20 to 30gb of data. My table A related to table B by a FK and same way table B related to table C by FK. I would like to delete all rows satisfying certain condition from table A and all corresponding related records from table B and C. I have created a query to delete the grandchild first, followed by child table and finally parent. I have used inner join in my delete query. As you all know, inner join delete operations, are going to be extremely resource Intensive especially on bigger tables.
What is the best approach to delete all these rows? There are many constraints, triggers on these tables. Also, there might be some FK relations to other tables as well.
Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

Table2 contains fields Group, Name,Category, Dimension (Group and Name are not in Table1)
So basically I need to read the records in Table1 using Groupid and each time there is a Groupid then select records from Table2 where Table2.Category in (Select Catergory from Table1)
and Table2.Dimension in (Select Dimension from Table1)
In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.
I am trying to write a query that will retrieve all students of a particular class and also any rows in HomeworkLogLine if they exist (but return null if there is no row). I thought this should be a relatively simple LEFT join but I've tried every possible combination of joins but it's not working.
SELECT
Student.StudentSurname + ', ' + Student.StudentForename AS Fullname,
HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineTimestamp,
HomeworkLog.HomeworkLogDescription,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineStudentID ORDER BY

It's only returning two rows (the students where they have a row in the HomeworkLogLine table).Â
Hi, I have had this problem for a while and have not been able solve it.
What im looking at doing is looping thru my patient table and trying to organise the patients in to there admission sequence, so when patient "A" comes in and is treated at my hospital and is discharged and admitted to another Hospital within one day then patient "A" will get a code of 1 being there first admission.
then if patient "A" is admitted again but there admission date is greater than one day they get a code of 2 being for there second admission but will need to loop thru table looking for other admissions and discharges.
The table name is Adm_disc_Match_tbl
Basically what i have 4 fields.
Index_key = which is the patient common link (text)
ur_episode = this wil change for each Hospital (text)
Admission_datetime = patient admission date and time (datetime)
Discharge_datetime = patient discharge date and time (datetime)
example of data
Code: ( text )
Index_key,ur_episode,Admission_datetime,discharge_ datetime

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an unusual problem. I am using VB.Net 2003 and sqlexpress using .NET dataset to insert records into an timecards table. After inserting several records I tried a 'Select * from timecards' and the inserted records where not selected. if I 'select * from timecards order by employee' ( or any other field) the inserted records are selected! The table was created by an Access Upsize command.
I used Express Manager ( XM ) to try the select statements. That is how I isolated the problem. Even using a "Select * from timecards where employee = 'test' " returns the inserted test records. I found that if I use a WHERE or ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement to .fill the .net dataset, all records are returned.
I am familiar with DB2 but I am a newbie at VB.NET and MSSQL
Any suggestions?

I am building an invoicing database. I have no problems searching fordue dates and generating the invoice header. The problem is generatingthe invoice detail.My customers may have more than one item that needs to go into theinvoice detail table.For example:customer #123 has 2 items that need to be placed into the detailtable.Rate 1 email accountRate 2 hosting accountI have to get both of these records into the detail table.When using the conventional method, I get something alongthe lines of" insert failed. more than one record was returned"-------INSERT INTO detailSELECT (SELECT max([id])FROM iheader),CustomerRates.custid,rates.Price, rates.nameFROM CustomerRates INNER JOIN Rates ON CustomerRates.Rateid = rates.IDWHERE NextBill > GETDATE()-------I have even considered a cursor to loop through the records but I cantmake it run properly. I am not crazy about the performance of cursorsanyway.Any aideas would be greatly apreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..
I have a table with about half a million records, each representing a patient in my county.
Each record has a field (RRank) which basically sorts the patients as to how "unwell" they are according to a previously-applied algorithm. The most unwell patient has an RRank of 1, the next-most unwell has RRank=2 etc.
I have just deleted several hundred records (which relate to patients now deceased) from the table, thereby leaving gaps in the RRank sequence. I want to renumber the remaining recs to get rid of the gaps.
I can see what I want to accomplish by using ROW_NUMBER, thus:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank) as RecNumber, RRank
FROM RPL
ORDER BY RRank
I see the numbers in the RecNumber column falling behind the RRank as I scan down the results
My question is: How to convert this into an UPDATE statement? I had hoped that I could do something like:
UPDATE RISC_PatientList_TEMP
SET RRank = ROW_NUMBER() Over (ORDER BY RRank);
but the system informs that window functions will only work on SELECT (which UPDATE isn't) or ORDER BY (which I can't legally add).
I'm new to MS SQL and VB. I have a table with one field JOB_NAME containing 20 records. Out of that field I want to retrieve 6 of the 20 records into a pulldown menu. They are all unique text names like so:
Anna Smith
John Doe
etc. I did not see IDs listed for any of the names in the table when I looked.
There is no common denominator to the names that can be filtered in the SELECT statement, and the 6 that I want will need to be pulled out individually.
Is there a way to do this with a SELECT statement? I have not found much information about how to extract unique records out of a single field. Here's the statement I'm using which pulls all of them:
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT JOB_NAME AS Names FROM [WORKER_NAMES] WHERE JOB_NAME<>' ' ORDER BY JOB_NAME ASC"
This gives me the total list but I only want to bring back 6 of the 20 for the pulldown.
Is there a way to modify this statement to pull only the records that I want?
Thanks for any help you can give.

I have 2 tables in a 1: n relation. How can i get a select statement that the field in the n-relation with outputs, separated by a semicolon; Example: One person have many Job Titles
Table1 (tblPerson)
Table2 (tblTitles)
1, "John", "Miller", "Employee; Admin; Consultant"
2, "Joan", "Stevens", "Employee, Software Engineer, Consultant"
and so on .... 1 in select statement:
I want to update records in 1 table with the result of a select statement.
The table is called 'MPR_Portfolio_Transactions' and contains the following fields:
[PTR_SEQUENCE]
,[PTR_DATE]
,[PTR_SYMBOL]
,[PTR_QUANTITY]
,[PTR_ACUM]
And the select statement is like this:
SELECT SUM(PTR_QUANTITY) OVER (PARTITION BY PTR_SYMBOL ORDER BY PTR_DATE, PTR_SEQUENCE) AS 'ACUMULADO'
FROM MPR_portfolio_transactions
ORDER BY PTR_SYMBOL, PTR_DATE, PTR_SEQUENCE
This select statement generates one line per existing record. And what I would like to do next is to UPDATE the field 'PTR_ACUM' with the result of the 'ACUMULADO'
the key is PTR_SEQUENCE
I am trying to add multiple records to my table (insert/select).
INSERT INTO Users
( User_id ,
Name
)
SELECT ( SELECT MAX(User_id) + 1
FROM Users
) ,
Name
But I get the error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Users'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Users'.
But I am using the max User_id + 1, so it can't be duplicate
This would insert about 20 records.
Why the error?
Can Somebody please show me how to acheive this, using the order details in Northwinddatabase or any other good example. as much details as possible. Many Thanks!

Using sqlServer management studio 2005
My Tables are something like this:
--Table 1 "Employee"
CREATE TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee](
[EmployeeGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchFID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,

ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
--Foreign IDs = FID
--generated IDs = GID
Then I try a simple single row DELETE
DELETE FROM MyCompany.Employee
WHERE EmployeeGID= 39
Well this might look like a very basic error:
I get this Error after trying to delete something from Table €œEmployee€?
The DELETE statement conflicted with the
REFERENCE constraint "FK_Branch_ManagerFID".
The conflict occurred in database "MyDatabase",
table "myCompany.Branch", column 'ManagerFID'.
Yes what I€™ve been doing is to deactivate the foreign key constraint, in both tables when performing these kinds of operations, same thing if I try to delete a €œBranch€? entry, basically each entry in €œbranch€? and €œEmployee€? is child of each other which makes things more complicated.
My question is, is there a simple way to overcome this obstacle without having to deactivate the foreign key constraints every time or a good way to prevent this from happening in the first place? Is this when I have to use €œON DELETE CASCADE€? or something?
Thanks
I want to recursively select all records within a hierarchy, using the main parentid and a textvalue on level 1 OR level 2 of the subcategories.
My data:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[articlegroups](
[id] [int] NOT NULL,
[parentid] [int] NOT NULL,
[catlevel] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
[slug_en] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_globos_articlegroups] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[Code] ...
When selecting rows I always have the main parentId (so catlevel 0) and the slug_en value.
In my example case I have id 129 and slug_en='cradles'.
I want my query to then return:
idparentidcatlevel
12900
1301291
1361302If I have id 129 and slug_en='pillows'.
I want my query to then return:

1391291
How can I do this? I'm new to SQL Server. I was reading here [URL] .... on recursive SQL, but how to implement this as I just have one table and I also have 2 selection criteria (main category id and a text value on either level 1 or 2).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have table 'stores' that has 3 columns (storeid, article, doc), I have a second table 'allstores' that has 3 columns(storeid(always 'ALL'), article, doc). The stores table's storeid column will have a stores id, then will have multiple articles, and docs. The 'allstores' table will have 'all' in the store for every article and doc combination. This table is like the master lookup table for all possible article and doc combinations. The 'stores' table will have the actual article and doc per storeid.
What I am wanting to pull is all article, doc combinations that exist in the 'allstores' table, but do not exist in the 'stores' table, per storeid. So if the article/doc combination exists in the 'allstores' table and in the 'stores' table for storeid of 50 does not use that combination, but store 51 does, I want the output of storeid 50, and what combination does not exist for that storeid. I will try this example:
'allstores' 'Stores'
storeid doc article storeid doc article
ALL 0010 001 101 0010 001
ALL 0010 002 101 0010 002
ALL 0011 001 102 0011 002
ALL 0011 002
So I want the query to pull the one from 'allstores' that does not exist in 'stores' which in this case would the 3rd record "ALL 0011 001".
I have two tables that share a common identity row. I need to build a query where data that exists in one table does not contain data in the other table. For example, table 1 has columns of Owner_ID, LastName, FirstName and table 2 has columns Auto_ID, Owner_ID, AutoMake. Both tables are joined by the Owner_ID column. I need a query that provides all owners from table 1 who do not have an entry in table 2.
Thanks in advance,

I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database.
I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields.
It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table.
In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters.
The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%')
If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null>
My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>.
For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon
