Hello, I am in the progress of designing a new section of my database and was thinking of creating a hole new database instead of just creating tables inside the database. My question is can you JOIN multiple tables in an SQL Statement from multiple databases. Ie, In the Management program I have a database called 'Convention' and another one called 'Services', inside the two databases there are many tables. Can I link say tblRegister from Convention to tblUser in Services? Thanks
I get a wo_ID and want to query company data. I have the following tables, work_orders (has wo_ID, wo_name and install_id), install_ids (has install_id, comp_id) and customers (comp_id, company_name). The query process goes like this: I get a wo_ID and I need to find the install_id that corresponds with that wo_ID in that same work_orders table. Then take that install_id and find out the comp_id that corresponds with that install_id from the install_ids table. Finally take that customer_id and link it to comp_id in the customers table to find out company data. I need to join it multiple times to get my final data. I have a simple one that works right now with one join and using the install_id, but I don't know how to expand it with multiple joins. Thanks.
I have two tables, one of which is a key table with a subaccount number and a set of attributes that define that subaccount. I am trying to join this key table with the table with all the attributes and come up with one table of subaccounts. The Subaccounts should only lookup the attributes associated with them, not all of the attributes, so I put OR [attribute] IS NULL in the WHERE clause so it only matched on the appropriate columns. This worked great in an initial test with two attributes but when I put all 9 attributes in it crashed with this message "Msg 415, Level 16, State 1 The current query would require an index on a work table to be built with 15 keys. The maximum allowable number of keys is 16" like this CREATE VIEW subaccounts (Subacct_no, balance) AS SELECT (s.Account_No + "." + r.Subacct_Ext, S.Balance) FROM Acct_Rcd r, Subacct_Key s WHERE (s.attr1 = r.attr1 OR s.attr1 IS NULL) AND (s.attr2 = r.attr2 OR s.attr2 IS NULL)
I'm trying to eliminate all records that do not have one of two conditions. I'm using INNER JOIN on a derived "table", not a table in my database. The code below summarizes what I'm trying to do. Please note that this is an extremely simplified query.
---------------------------
SELECT * FROM jobs INNER JOIN ( SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0 )AS ValidContacts ON (jobs.owner = ValidContacts.contact_id OR jobs.assignee = ValidContacts.contact_id)
---------------------------
This works fine when the the "SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0" part returns a small number of records, however when that part returns a very large number of records, the query hangs and never completes. If I remove one of the conditions for the JOIN, it works fine, but I need both. Why doesn't this work?
Another possible solution is if I were to use "WHERE/IN" like this:
---------------------------
SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE owner IN (SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0) OR assignee IN (SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0)
---------------------------
This would work fine, but I don't want to have to run the "SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0" part twice (since in my real code, it is much more complicated and performance is a big issue". Any help would be greatly appreceated.
select scheme.opheadm.order_no, scheme.porecpm.order_no, delivery_no, invoice_no, scheme.opheadm.customer, qty_received from scheme.opheadm join scheme.porecpm on (ltrim(rtrim(scheme.porecpm.commnt)) like (ltrim(rtrim(scheme.opheadm.order_no)) + '/%')) where effective_date between '2011-10-01 00:00:00.000' and '2011-10-08 00:00:00.000'
It gives me the 5 rows that I need to work with, one column is customer (which is giving me customer code) that I want to replace with customer name from another table
So I tried:
select scheme.opheadm.order_no, scheme.porecpm.order_no, delivery_no, invoice_no, scheme.jcmastm.name, qty_received from scheme.opheadm join scheme.porecpm on (ltrim(rtrim(scheme.porecpm.commnt)) like (ltrim(rtrim(scheme.opheadm.order_no)) + '/%')) join scheme.jcmastm on scheme.opheadm.customer = scheme.opheadm.customer here effective_date between '2011-10-01 00:00:00.000' and '2011-10-08 00:00:00.000'
this works with the same 5 rows that i need but loops them through every customer from the table scheme.jcmastm giving me a total of 960 rows not just the 5 that i want to work with. why this is looping?
The code is the name of the test and the result is just that. Not all patients will have the same set of results. What I'd now like to do is pull out a CSV file of all results from 2013 including where the result is null. The format I am looking for is along the following lines:
Sex, Age, AKIN2, AKIN7, RIFLE,
The AKIN2, AKIN7 and RIFLE are the codes in the result table. I have tried OUTER JOINS but it seems to only pull out those records that exist (example below). I need to specify the result codes I am interested in otherwise the output could be enormous but this then does not pull out null values (a NULL value is an important as an actual value).
SELECT Samples.Patient_ID AS ID, Samples.LabNo As LabNo, Patients.Sex As Sex, DATEDIFF(year, Patients.DoB, Samples.Sampled) AS Age, Samples.Source as Source,

I have two tables, let's say "Main" and "Dictionary".
The Main table has several fields that point to records in the same dictionary table. Because of the multiple joins I couldn't get any results if I use an expression like:
SELECT Main.ID, Dictionary.Text AS Data1, Dictionary.Text AS Data2
FROM Main, Dictionary
WHERE Main.Data1 = Dictionary.ID AND Main.Data2 = Dictionary.ID
What kind of join expression should I use? I have to generate this expression programmatically, so it's quite important to keep it as simple as possible!
An EMPLOYEE will always have at least 1 SKILL but each SKILL may or may not have any SKILLOPTIONS. I do an INNER JOIN:
EMPLOYEE->SKILL->SKILLOPTIONS but I only get a record if there is actually a SKILLOPTION. I want a record with EMPLOYEE and SKILL even if there are no SKILLOPTIONS. In Oracle it is the (+) symbol in the WHERE statement in conjunction with the JOIN. Am new to this so I'm sure the answer is simple.

Can anyone give me some guidelines as to when to chose JOINS over returning multiple resultsets in a strored procedure.. For eample, I have two tables, Orders and OrderDetails, which are linked by a primary key field. There can be orders w/o a corresponding record in orderdetails. 1.) I can return all orders and their details using a stored preocedure that has: SELECT o.order_id as OrderId, o.customername, od.order_id, od.orderdate FROM orders AS o LEFT OUTER JOIN orderdetails AS od ON (o.order_id=od.order_id) 2.) I can do the same by returning two results sets in a different stored procedure: SELECT order_id, customername FROM orders SELECT order_id, orderdate FROM orderdetails I think the client processing time for the second option will be slightly less, because the resultset I need to filter will only be as big as the orederdetails table (it will not include records for orders that have no details). Regardless, I think this would only make for a small performance gain, so if Option 1 is better in Database performace, I would probably go with that. I assume the method to choose also depends on table size and # of JOINS. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Al
I have a table with a large number of records that I need to delete, before attempt to perform the delete I also archived the records to another table.
So I need to delete all of these selected records stored in the archive table from the main table. I can now reference all the records that qualify for the delete in the main table by performing a join on the archive table like so:
select * from my_main_table a join my_archive_table b on a.distinct_id=b.distinct_id and a.surrogate_key=b.surrogate_key and a.identifier=b.indentifier
So all the records check out to be the ones I'd like to perform a delete on but I just can't figure out how to perform a delete of the records with little or no change to the existing query.
Obviously something like this won't work:
delete from my_main_table a join my_archive_table b on a.distinct_id=b.distinct_id and a.surrogate_key=b.surrogate_key and a.identifier=b.indentifier
Though it would be nice if it did.:D
So my question is how would I use the existing query with some modification to delete only the records that this query returns. I've tried selection of records in the main table based on the existing records in the archive table but it can return a higher number of records than what I know is expected. I actually need the join specified to be in place to do it.
I have three tables, Users, DocType and Docs. In the DocType table there are multiple entries for allowed document types, the descriptions and other pertinent data. In the Docs table, there are all manner of documents. In the User table are the users.
The DocType and Docs tables are relational. DocType.ID = Docs.tID The Users and Docs tables are relational. Users.ID = Docs.uID
Every user is allowed to have exactly one document of each type. Therefore if there are 10 document types in the DocType table, there may be as many as 10 matching documents in the Docs table.
What I need is a single record for each user returning a boolean for each document type, whether or not there is a matching record in the Docs table.
For example, there are 5 document types defined in the DocType table (types 1 - 5), so the DocType table has 5 rows. In the Docs table, there are 23 rows, and in the User table there are 10 rows. Given that each user may have only one of each DocType, there could be a maximum of 50 rows in the Docs table, but there are 23, meaning that on the average each user is missing one document.Now the challenge is to return a table of all the users (10 rows) with a boolean value for each of the rows in DocType (as columns) based on whether there is a value in the Docs table that matches both the DocType and User.
I have 3 tables , Customer , Sales Cost Charge and Sales Price , i have join the customer table to the sales price table with a left outer join into a new table.
i now need to join the data in the new table to sales cost charge. However please note that there is data that is in the sales price table that is not in the sales cost charge table and there is data in the sales cost charge table that is not in the sales price table ,but i need to get all the data. e.g. if on our application it shows 15 records , the sales price table will maybe have 7 records and the sales cost charge table will have 8 which makes it 15 records
I am struggling to match the records , i have also tried a left outer join to the sales cost charge table however i only get the 7 records which is in the sales price table. see code below
I have two tables a and b, where I want to add columns from b to a with a criteria. The columns will be added by month criteria. There is a column in b table called stat_month which ranges from 1 (Jan) to 12 (Dec). I want to keep all the records in a, and join columns from b for each month. I do not want to loose any row from a if there is no data for that row in b.
I do not know how to have the multiple joins for 12 different months and what join I have to use. I used left join but still I am loosing not all but few rows in a, I would also like to know how in one script I can columns separately from stat_mont =’01’ to stat_month =’12’
/****** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS ******/ SELECT a.[naics] ,a.[ust_code] ,a.[port] ,a.[all_qty_1_yr] ,a.[all_qty_2_yr]
[Code] ....
Output should have all columns from a and join columns from b when the months = '01' (for Jan) , '02' (for FEB), ...'12' (for Dec): Output table should be something like
* columns from a AND JAN_Cum_qty_1_mo JAN_Cum_qty_2_mo JAN_Cum_all_val_mo JAN_Cum_air_val_mo JAN_Cum_air_wgt_mo JAN_Cum_ves_val_mo FEB_Cum_qty_1_mo FEB_Cum_qty_2_mo FEB_Cum_all_val_mo FEB_Cum_air_val_mo FEB_Cum_air_wgt_mo FEB_Cum_ves_val_mo .....DEC_Cum_qty_1_mo DEC_Cum_qty_2_mo DEC_Cum_all_val_mo DEC_Cum_air_val_mo DEC_Cum_air_wgt_mo DEC_Cum_ves_val_mo (FROM TABLE b)
I am trying to build a report that access data from multiple cubes. Is it possible to join multiple cubes based on their shared dimensions? Or is it possible for report to display data from multiple cubes properly aligned based on the dimension.
Environment: SQL Server Analysis Services 2005 and Reporting Services 2005
Example: We have multiple cubes with “Year� as a shared dimension and each one has different Rate info. The cubes have other set of shared dimensions which I am planning to set it up as a parameter. I would like to display the report as Year Rate1 Rate2 Rate3…

Is there a way to create one field from multiple records using sql.For exampleTable 1John 18Peter 18David 18Now I want an sql query that when executed will return a field thatlooks like thisQuery1John Peter DavidSo basically it will return one record with all the name in one field
hi guys, just wondering if there's a SSIS component out there some what similar to Merge join but can take up more than two inputs to join.
basically i have a big package with data sources coming from everywhere, they all have a unique column i can join on, so right now, i use merge join for every two sources, then join the output of that to another source so on and so forth. it would be easier if i can just join all of the sources in one component rather than putting a merge join for every single join. is there such a component out there, custom built maybe?
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'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!

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 came across this structure today and haven't seen it before:
SELECT blablabla FROM T1 FULL OUTER JOIN T2 ON T1.Col1 = T2.Col1 AND T1.Col2 = T2.Col2 ON T3.Col1 = T1.Col1 AND T3.Col2 = T1.Col2 ON T4.Col1 = T1.Col1 AND T4.Col2 = T1.Col2
I am trying to pull in columns from multiple tables but am getting an error when I run the code:

select * from RES1 where Response_Id = 111 -- return 3 select * from REQ1 where Request_Id = 222 --- returns 2
So at last inner join retuns 3*2 = 6 records , which is wrong here and i want to show 3 records in doc1 row and 2 records in doc 2 rows ...
create multiple INNER JOIN on derived tables as I have written below or use a #temp table for all derived tables and use them into JOIN. This below query is also very hard to understand what is going on .
This is so complicated (for me) because I usually only work with single table and simple queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE), but now I am in a situation where I am stuck.
What I am trying to archive is that: when a project manager logged-into his/her account, a grid-view will show a quick overview for all of his/her projects (id, created date, name and how many files are in pending) like below picture:
3 tables will be involved are:
Sample data for manager_id = 11
I tried this query but it not worked, it seems to display all columns right but the COUNT pending files column (assume the manager_id = 11)
SELECT COUNT(file_id) as 'Pending files', projects.project_id, projects.project_name, projects.status, projects.start_date FROM ((project_manager INNER JOIN files ON project_manager.mag_id = files.manager_id AND project_manager.mag_id = 11 AND file_status = 'Pending') INNER JOIN projects ON projects.project_id = project_manager.project_id) GROUP BY projects.project_id, projects.project_name, projects.status, projects.start_date ORDER BY projects.status, projects.start_date DESC
