How To Search For Records That Don't Exist?
Mar 21, 2006
I'm just learning to join tables and I'm trying to construct a query to tell me the following:
Table names and related columns:
Table1.HdrSys
Table2.HdrSysNum and HdrSys
Table3.HdrSysNum
Table3 contains the detail info for Table2. Table1 is the header table for Table2. So.. If I want all records in Table3 that don't have a related record in Table1, is this even possible?
I started with:
select * from Table3 a
join Table2 b on a.HdrSysNum = b.HdrSysNum
join Table1 c on b.HdrSys= c.HdrSys
-- Now.. how do I qualify the statement.. or can I with just this. Thx! Hope I wasn't too confusing.. because I tend to get that way when I'm confused!

Hello all,
I have a branch a data, now i need to search through a database to check whther it is exist in that database or not, any syggestion?
Example:
Now i have data 123, 234, 345. Let say data 123 and 234 is exist in that database, but data 345 is not exist in that database.
What SQL am i suitable to use to get those result exist(123, 234) and those result not exist (345)?
The database structure is someting like this:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
1 120 123
2 234 234
3 345 345
1) The data consider 'exist' if it exist in column NAME or column O_NAME (either one).
2) The data consider 'not exist' if it not exist in neither NAME column nor O_NAME column
After the SQL query, someting is expected:
Exist:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
1 120 123
2 234 234
Not Exist:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
3 345 345
I'll appreciate if anyone can provide me a solution..Thanks!

Hi guys, I sent the following queries to my DB and they seem to work with success messages after each line but when I try to test it I get the message at the bottom. Any ideas? there's a good chance my test sql is all wrong!
sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
sp_fulltext_catalog 'Fulltextcatalog1','create'
sp_fulltext_table 'test','create','Fulltextcatalog1','PK_test'
sp_fulltext_column 'test','text','add'
sp_fulltext_table 'test','activate'
sp_fulltext_table 'test','start_full'
sp_fulltext_table test, 'Start_change_tracking'
sp_fulltext_table test, 'Start_background_updateindex'
---- now test it ---
SELECT * FROM test WHERE FREETEXT(*,'spotless')
gets this result:
Error -2147217900
Execution of a full-text operation failed. The catalog does not exist or is currently unavailable. Please retry the action again later and if this symptom persists, contact the system administrator.

I'd like to get some ideas for the following:
I am writing a quick mini-application that searches for records in a database, which is easy enough. However, if the search term comes up empty, I need to return 10 records before the positon the search term would be in if it existed, and 10 records after. (Obviously the results are ordered on the search term column)
So for example, if I am searching on "Microsoft", and it doesn't exist in my table, I need to return the 10 records that come before Microsoft alphabetically, and then the 10 that come after it.
I have a SP that does this, but it is pretty messy and I'd like to see if anyone else had some ideas that might be better.
Thanks!

basically IF multiple records with the same start date exist, i have to select the one with the max(note_id)
Example
note_id/start_date
88888/08-01-2001
98788/08-01-2001 <===
55555/08-01-2001
54856/08-01-2001
in the example above, i would need to pick the one with the arrow
note_id-98788 and start_date-08-01-2001

I am trying to write a script that will only insert records that do not exist to a local table. Whenever a form is changed, it keeps the same name, but a new record is created with a new ID. I need to be able to pull the new record by checking for ID's that are not on the local table, but using a form name to isolate. The nested select I am attempting is
select distinct qf.[eform_id]
, qf.[name]
, qf.[description]
from [qfiniti].[qfiniti_platform].[dbo].[eval_forms] qf
inner join FORMS_REF fr on qf.[name] collate database_default = fr.form_name collate database_default
where not exists (select fr.eform_id
from forms_ref fr
inner join [qfiniti].[qfiniti_platform].[dbo].[eval_forms] qf on fr.eform_id = qf.eform_id);
It is outputting nothing, but I have intentionally deleted one form record to force it to show up.

Hi all,
I am developing an ETL wherein the requirement is to do an incremental load and at the same time, if there is a record that got deleted in the Source delete it from the destination too, makes sense.
The approach am doing is, pick data from the SRC and Destination, pass it onto a Merge join component, do a Full Outer join, then pass the rows to a conditional split. Newly Added records and updated records I can handle, how do I handle the Deleted records?
Am I correct in the way I am doing or there is something better to handle this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have to search the records after the records populated.
I mean to say, i have displayed records in report, if i enter some strings in the textbox and clicked find, then it will highlight the particular records, instead of highlighting the values, is it possible to display only those particular records.
For example, say i have 50 records in a page,i entered some strings in the textbox and clicked find, then it will highlight the particular 5 records one by one which match the criteria i have entered in the texbox, instead of that i have to display only those 5 records.
Please tell me how to implement in this report,
Thanks and Regards

I am trying to put together a Stored Procedure that runs other SP's based on a records found condition. Sometimes my update table either by deleting duplicates or for other reasons is empty. Running a SP to update records on a table is not needed.
IF EXISTS (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Work_Tables.dbo.Trace_Return_Updates WHERE TR_RecType = 'CT1')
BEGIN
EXEC IMB_Trace_Data.dbo.Update_CT1_Trace_Data
END
IF EXISTS (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Work_Tables.dbo.Trace_Return_Updates WHERE TR_RecType = 'CT2')
BEGIN
EXEC IMB_Trace_Data.dbo.Update_CT2_Trace_Data
END
IF EXISTS (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Work_Tables.dbo.Trace_Return_Updates WHERE TR_RecType = 'FULF')
BEGIN
EXEC IMB_Trace_Data.dbo.Update_FULF_Trace_Data
END

Does SQL have a function that return "null" for records which don't exist? Per example in a FK relation ship, that not all records in the first table have a "child" in the second table, so it returns null records.
Thank you very much.

Hello I am trying to create a stored procedure where the users can either type in the last name, or a wild card in order to get the values they are looking for. Sometimes they are not sure how to spell the last name and they will type in the first 2 letters or an * for all to see if they can find it that way. How can I do this??
Here is what I have so far
Code Block
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[AdvSearchRevocations]
(@Enter_LastName nvarchar(25))
AS
SET @Enter_LastName = REPLACE(@Enter_Lastname, '*', '%')
SELECT LastName, FirstName, ReasonOfRevocation, TM#, [I/R #], Date
FROM dbo.Revocations_Tbl

I have to create a search textbox where if i key in the word "dog",it will search against a field called "Name" in a table.Then it will return all records where the text/data in the "Name" field contains the word "dog".For example,it will return the records where the text/data in the "Name" field has words such as "hotdog","doggie","dog barking","big dog" etc etc.
Can i use simple SQL for this or do i need to configure the full text search service on SQL server 2000 and use the FREETEXT predicate?Thank you in advance for any replies.

Hi,
I have a table full of items which can be searched.
I also have another table with the ID of each item and columns for no of times details shown, no of times saved etc.
What I would like to do is increment a value in this second table for each item every time it is returned in a search.
What would be the best way to do this?
(Im using a Stored Procedure)
Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to figure out why I am not getting any result set back from a search that includes non-alphanumeric
or non-printable characters. For instance, if I have a table with a 20 character name column with names with
beginning ranges from A-Z, why doesn't the following return any rows:
select * from table where name < CHAR(126).
In the ASCII character set, 126 is a tilde (~) which is numerically above the alphanumeric ranges 1-9,a-z, and
A-Z. Shouldn't all records that sort lower in the character range be included in the result set ?
I'm assuming this has something to do with the default collation sequence being used which somehow does
not include characters outside the alphanumeric range. Any ideas ?

Hi
I have a new client with an existing system that has just over 2 million business listings in one table. Each business listing is associated with one business category.
* Company Table (around 20 fields):
companyID
companyName
categoryID
state
postCode
etc.
* Category Table (5 fields)
categoryID
categoryName
etc.
We are using MSSQL 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
A free text search needs to be performed on the companyName and categoryName limited by region (state and or postcode).
1) What kind of response times should I expect for the free text search (I have not used the free text search before)
2) How should I index the companyName and categoryName so they are both used in a joined query? i.e. Do I just configure the free text search index on each field separately and it should work?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Best Regards
Kevan

I 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'm trying to do some analysis on duplicate records based off of several match keys. I have a data set of approximately 30,000 people and the goal is to determine how many duplicate matches are in the system.
How would I write an SQL statement that looks for the following pieces of information. (I'm not using one person as an example; I need to do an analysis on the entire data set)
First name (exact match)
Last name (exact match)
Address line 1 (exact match)
Postal code/zip (exact match)
First Initial (exact match)
Last name (exact match)
DOB exact match
Postal code/zip (exact match)

I'm just wonder if this is a bug in MS Search or am I doing something wrong.
I have a query below
declare @search_clause varchar(255)
set @Search_Clause = ' "hepatitis b" and "hepatocellular carcinoma"'
select * from results
where contains(finding,@search_clause)
I don't get the correct result at all.
If I change my search_clause to "hepatitis" and "hepatocellular carcinoma -- without the "b"
then i get the correct result.
It seems MS Search doesn't like the phrase contain one letter or some sort or is it a know bug?
Anyone know?
Thanks

Hi - I'm short of SQL experience and hacking my way through creating a simple search feature for a personal project. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with writing a stored procedure. Problem: I have two tables with three columns indexed for full-text search. So far I have been able to successfully execute the following query returning matching row ids: dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150) AS SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText); RETURN This returns the ArticleID for any articles or article_pages records where there is a text match. I ultimately need the stored procedure to return all columns from the articles table for matches and not just the StoryID. Seems like maybe I should try using some kind of JOIN on the result of the UNION above and the articles table? But I have so far been unable to figure out how to do this as I can't seem to declare a name for the result table of the UNION above. Perhaps there is another more eloquent solution? Thanks! Peter
