Joining Tables With Some Column Names That Are Same
Dec 13, 2013
If you need to inner join 2 tables that have some columns names that are the same, how can you have those columns be named differently in the query result without aliasing them individually?
Tried select a.*,b.* from tbldm a,tblap b where a.id=b.id hoping the col names in the result would have the a.s and b.s in front of them but they didn't.
I am attempting to run the following select statement joining multiple tables but in the end result I would like only Distinct/Unique values to be returned in the invlod.lodnum column.
[select pw.schbat, adrmst.adrnam, adrmst.adrln1, adrmst.adrcty, adrmst.adrstc, adrmst.adrpsz, invlod.lodnum, shipment.host_ext_id, shipment_line.ordnum, car_move.car_move_id from aremst join locmst on (aremst.arecod = locmst.arecod) and (aremst.wh_id = locmst.wh_id)
My basic situation is this - I ONLY want duplicates, so the oppositeof DISTINCT:I have two tables. Ordinarily, Table1ColumnA corresponds in a one toone ratio with Table2ColumnB through a shared variable. So if I queryTableB using the shared variable, there really should only be onrecord returned. In essence, if I run this and return TWO rows, it isvery bad:select * from TableB where SharedVariable = 1234I know how to join the tables on a single record to see if this is thecase with one record, but I need to find out how many, among possiblymillions of records this affects.Every record in Table1ColumnA (and also the shared variable) will beunique. There is another column in Table1 (I'll call itTable1ColumnC) that will be duplicated if the record in Table2 is aduplicate, so I am trying to use that to filter my results in Table1.I am looking to see how many from Table1 map to DUPLICATE instances inTable2.I need to be able to say, in effect, "how many unique records inTable1ColumnA that have a duplicate in Table1ColumnC also have aduplicate in Table2ColumnB?"Thanks if anyone can help!-- aknoch
I am trying to join two tables and looks like the data is messed up. I want to split the rows into columns as there is more than one value in the row. But somehow I don't see a pattern in here to split the rows.
This how the data is
Create Table #Sample (Numbers Varchar(MAX)) Insert INTO #Sample Values('1000') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1024 AND 1025') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('109 ,110,111') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('Old # 1033 replaced with new Invoice # 1544') Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1355 Cancelled and Invoice 1922 added') Select * from #Sample
This is what is expected...
Create Table #Result (Numbers Varchar(MAX)) Insert INTO #Result Values('1000') Insert INTO #Result Values ('1024') Insert INTO #Result Values ('1025') Insert INTO #Result Values ('109') Insert INTO #Result Values ('110')
[Code] ....
How I can implement this ? I believe if there are any numbers I need to split into two columns .
Is there a way that you could get the column names for each table in a database using 1 query? something like: tbl colname t1 catID t1 catName t2 prodID t2 prodDesc t3 cartID ... ...
I know it would be long, but I would just be searching through the saved output for specific names.
I have a situation in which i have to get the last value stored in the Primary Key for all the tables. Based on this value i have to update another table which stores the Table names and the last Key value for the table. The values in this table are not correct therefore i have to update it now. I was trying to write a cursor for this but the only problem is i can't get to know how to get the column name on which the primary key is defined for all the tables, thru code.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out with this.
From the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES view I want to return the TABLE_NAME of tables that have columns say, named Email and EmailStatusId. Is it possible to do this with a single select statement or would I have to use two selects for this?
I have two different tables... one for all Staff, and another for all Temp Staff. I need both to output to a datagrid, and so I need to grab both tables from a SQL query to output to my datagrid, but I can't seem to get the logic right for it to work. Can someone give me some suggestions on why my results are blank when I'm running this query? I thought a simple join would allow both sets of identical column names to coexist in peace...SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.StaffDirectory.UserName, dbo.StaffDirectory.LastName, dbo.StaffDirectory.FirstName, dbo.StaffDirectory.Dept, dbo.StaffDirectory.Title, dbo.StaffDirectory.EMail, dbo.StaffDirectory.LocationFROM dbo.StaffDirectory INNER JOIN dbo.TempStaff ON dbo.StaffDirectory.Location = dbo.TempStaff.Location AND dbo.StaffDirectory.EMail = dbo.TempStaff.Email AND dbo.StaffDirectory.Title = dbo.TempStaff.Title AND dbo.StaffDirectory.Dept = dbo.TempStaff.Dept AND dbo.StaffDirectory.FirstName = dbo.TempStaff.FName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.LastName = dbo.TempStaff.LName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.UserName = dbo.TempStaff.UName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.MDNo = dbo.TempStaff.MDNoIs something wrong here? It just doesn't work =(Any suggestions would be really appreciated.Thank you
I'm not a full-time DBA, so excuse my style of expressing my question.I have a database which has 2 tables in SQL 2005. Both these tables have similar column names, EXCEPT for new extra columns in FY2007_DATA. I can visually see the difference in columns in Database Diagrams. My goal is to :- I want to compare FY2007 tbl column names to FY2006 column names and display only those columns as results that do not match.Tbl 1 :- FY2006_DATA Tbl 2:-
FY2007_DATA
With online reading and help I have managed to get this script to do exactly opposite of what i want. Below is the query
/* This query compares the column names from two tables and displays the ones that have an exact match. It does not care for case-sensitiveness */
Select a.Table_Name, a.Column_Name, (b.Table_Name), (b.column_name) From [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS a Join [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS b on a.Column_Name = b.Column_Name Where a.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2006_DATA' And b.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA' AND a.Column_Name IN (Select Column_Name = LEFT(c.column_name, 20) FROM [H1B_2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS c WHERE c.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA' )
When I change "AND a.Column_Name IN.." to "AND a.Column_Name NOT IN.." so that the results will (should) display the extra columns in FY2007, in fact I do not see any results, but query executes perfect.
I am trying a create views that would join 2 tables:
Table 1: Has all the columns need by a view ( Name: Product Structure: ID, Attribute 1, Attribute 2, Attribute 3, Attribute 4, Attribute 5 etc Table 2: Is a lookup table that provides the names of columns Name: lookupTable Structure: tableName, ColumnName, columnValue Values: Product, Attribute1, Color Product, Attribute2, Size Product, Attribute3, Flavor Product, Attribute4, Shape
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
I have created 3 views, which I then want to join to produce an overall result. The first view returns customer details, along with payment information. The next two views return values only when the customer has purchased extras outside our standard product i.e. if there is no purchase of an extra, then nothing is written to the extra's table. When I join the views together they only return values where data has been matched in all 3 views i.e. extra's have been purchased. Any data that did not match in all 3 view (i.e. no extra's purchased) is either ignored or dropped from the results. So I need my script to return all values even if no data exists in the two extra views.
My scripts are as follows: Main View SELECT CUSTOMER_POLICY_DETAILS.POLICY_DETAILS_ID, CUSTOMER_POLICY_DETAILS.HISTORY_ID, CUSTOMER_POLICY_DETAILS.AUTHORISATIONUSER, CUSTOMER_POLICY_DETAILS.AUTHORISATIONDATE, ACCOUNTS_TRANSACTION.TRANSACTION_CODE_ID, CUSTOMER_INSURED_PARTY.SURNAME, SYSTEM_INSURER.INSURER_DEBUG, SYSTEM_SCHEME_NAME.SCHEMENAME, CUSTOMER_POLICY_DETAILS.POLICYNUMBER, --TotalPayable IsNull(SUM(CASE LIST_TRAN_BREAKDOWN_TYPE.IncludeInTotal WHEN 1 THEN ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.AMOUNT ELSE 0 END), 0) AS TotalPayable, --NetPremium IsNull(SUM(CASE ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.Tran_Breakdown_Type_ID WHEN 'NET' THEN ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.AMOUNT ELSE 0 END), 0) AS NetPremium, --IPT IsNull(SUM(CASE WHEN SubString(ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.Premium_Section_ID, 1, 3) = 'TAX' THEN ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.AMOUNT ELSE 0 END), 0) AS IPT, --Fee IsNull(SUM(CASE ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.Tran_Breakdown_Type_ID WHEN 'FEE' THEN ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.AMOUNT ELSE 0 END), 0) AS Fee, --TotalCommission IsNull(SUM(CASE WHEN SubString(ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.Tran_Breakdown_Type_ID, 4, 4) = 'COMM' THEN ACCOUNTS_TRAN_BREAKDOWN.AMOUNT ELSE 0 END), 0) AS TotalCommission

Hi. I'm new to SQL, and need to join 2 tables... any hints??? table1:id (int)title(varchar(50))body(text) table2:id (int)title(varchar(50))body(text) somehow need to get the id, which table the record is from, and the title and body... so if the tables had the information: table1:id title body1 "first title" "first body"2 "second title" "second body"3 "third title" "third body" table2:id title body1 "first title" "first body"2 "second title" "second body"3 "third title" "third body" I would like to get... id table title body3 1 "third title" "third body"3 2 "third title" "third body"2 1 "second title" "second body"2 2 "second title" "second body"1 1 "first title" "first body"1 2 "first title" "first body" Does anyone know how to get this? I am fairly flexible if i need to change things... cheers, eh!
Hello everyone,I'm starting a new project right now and am trying to cut down on the number of stored procedures and tables I'm gonna have to use and I have run into a dead end.Up till now I have been doing the following: Say I had a PRODUCTS table with a DesignId column and ColorId column. I would then create a DESIGN table (Name, Id) and a COLOR table (Name, Id) to INNER JOIN with the two columns in my PRODUCTS table. And the same goes for all my other tables: ORDERS, CUSTOMERS, LINKS etc...... And in the end I would have a lot of tables and stored procedures for these category columns. So I thought, it would be nice to just have a Categories and Subcategories table for all my category columns for the whole website. That way every time I need to define a category column for any table I can simply just add the values to my Categories and Subcategories table instead of having to create a new table for every category column. Everything is fine and dandy except for trying to INNER JOIN these two tables with more than one column. To get values for one column is no problem:<code> SELECT *, _SubCategories.SubCategoryNameFROM _ProductsINNER JOIN _SubCategoriesON _Products.DesignId = _SubCategories.SubCategoryIdWHERE DesignId = COALESCE (@DesignId, DesignId)</code> But how do you INNER JOIN the ColorId column as well. Both DesignId and ColorId values are in my _SubCategories table. In a stored procedure: Is there any way to create a table and columns. Run a loop statement, with one INNER JOIN . Rerun another loop statement with a new INNER JOIN statement? Would that work or does any one else have an idea what would?Thank you guys for the help. It is much appreciated. Alec
Hello all, I have two datatables "customersReached " and "customersGuessed " and I want to combine them into one table only, the problem is that one table exeeded to the other by two fields, so what can I do??????? Mahmoudona
I've been trying to think about how I can do this. I have forums that I have written built around SQL Server. Basicly you have:
-A users Table -A Posts Table -A Replies Table.
Posts and replies have very similar structures. I'd like to be able to merge them and pick out the earliest post for said forum.
1 - is there a way to merge them so that the post date for both the replies and posts tables is contained in 1 column. If not is there a better alternative.
I'd also like to add indexing to the posts so I can do paging. Is there a way for me to add an index number to them while I can sort them anyway i want.
I am using MS SQL Server 2005 on Windows XP with SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP. I am having issues with my query on joining 2 tables I created using BETWEEN to restrict the Salary. Table 1 is called Employee and Table 2 is called Job_title. The column Job_title_code is the only column that is in both tables which is how I am joining both tables. Here is my SQL query:
Code:
SELECT Employee.*, Job_title.*
From Employee
INNER JOIN Job_title
ON Employee.Job_title_code=Job_title.Job_title_code
WHERE Salary
BETWEEN 50000 AND 500000;
The results I am getting back are:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 7 Invalid column name 'Job_title_code'.
I can't figure out how to fix this error. I feel like I have tried everything, so any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, I have a table with fields as partnerid, contractno. The partnerid field has the Id number which can be a supplier or a customer. I need to get the partner id(supplier) and the partner id (customers) of that particular supplier only. I tried with self join but the data is data is replicating.
Data in table PId ContractNo 20045 1567 435 1567 123 1567 345 1678 1004 1678
I need to display the data in the following format.
jack 20 Melbourne AAA Nick 30 Bendigo BBB Russ 28 Sydney AAA Marty 31 Perth AAA
Table 3
name age city Position
jack 20 Melbourne Manager Nick 30 Bendigo Manager Russ 28 Sydney Clerk Marty 31 Perth Manager
Table 4
name age city datejoined
jack 20 Melbourne 09-09-2001 Nick 30 Bendigo 08-05-2001 Russ 28 Sydney 10-12-2000 Marty 31 Perth 11-11-1999
I want a query which extract the name, age and city from Table 2 (where name,age and city equals table1 values) and position from table3 where position is 'manager' else return null and date joined from table 4 only for the managers else return null.
so the result should be
name age city position datejoined
jack 20 Melbourne Manager 09-09-2001 Nick 30 Bendigo Manager 08-05-2001 Russ 28 Sydney null null
my query
SELECT b. name, b.age, b.city,b.company,c.position,d.datejoined FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c, Table4 d WHERE a.age=b.age and a.name=b.name and a.city=b.city and b.age*=c.age and b.name*=c.name and b.city*=c.city and b.position='Manager' and b.age*=d.age and b.name*=d.name and b.city*=d.city
THE RESULT IS
jack 20 Melbourne Manager 09-09-2001 Nick 30 Bendigo Manager 08-05-2001 Russ 28 Sydney null 10-12-2000
When I try to join table4 with table i am getting a exception
Ps: as the original code was in SQL SERVER 6.5 I have to use *= for joins not keywords LEFT JOIN or RIGHT JOIN
I have a bit of an issue that I can not seem to figure out and was hoping to get some feedback/advice from you all.
First a little background. I have two databases and I am adding a new table too one of them. However I need to join the two databases but by columns and the columns I want to use to join them will use different data types and values.
Example database 1 column 1 will be groups.group.id and database 2 column 1 will be users.group.id. However in database 2 (users) the group_id will contain different data.
Database 1 group.id will contain a single integer and database 2 group.id I want to have it contain multiple integers seperated by a comma.
Example code: select groups.group.id, groups.group.name from groups, users where groups.disabled='1' and users.user_id = $user_id and groups.group.id ? users.group.id
The "?" is where I am having trouble. Does anyone know of a way to join two databases by columns using different data types?
Hi, i have some sql experience and can link tables but the link i am trying to get is not displaying how i need it to
here is the code i am using, which display logical results, but not the ones i need :P
qry = "SELECT * FROM wce_contact INNER JOIN wce_mailer_link ON wce_contact.UNIQUEID = wce_mailer_link.Contactid LEFT JOIN wce_mailer ON wce_mailer.uniqueid = wce_mailer_link.mailerid RIGHT JOIN wce_mailer_attachments ON wce_mailer_attachments.uniqueid = wce_mailer.fileid WHERE wce_contact.uniqueid = '"& Request.QueryString("id") &"'"
Ok i have these tables
wce_contact This has the contacts name and address
wce_mailer This holds the details of the mailer and a link to the wce_mailer_attachments, there would be multiple rows in wce_mailer_attachments table which link to 1 row in wce_mailer.
wce_mailer_link This holds the wce_contact uniqueid, and the wce_mailer uniqueid. there will be many contacts to many mailers
wce_mailer_attachments This holds an individual row for one attachment, but the uniqueid would be the same for multiple rows, Dependant on how many attachments the users adds. i.e. one mailer could have several attachments, they would all have the same uniqueid.
Basically the results i am getting using the join i built are displaying each attachment as a separate row when i display the mailers assigned to a contacts record. i need them to display in one single row where the uniqueids are the same in the wce_mailer_attachments and they match the only fileid in wce_mailer.
Hi all! I have a problem joining three tables. My tables are: rooms: room_id ¦ room_name computers: computer_id ¦ computer_name ¦ room_id bookings: booking_id ¦ computer_id ¦ date
I want to join them so that i get a listing that displays all room names, and if there is a booking for any computer in that room I also want to display the computer name and the booking date next to the room name. If one room has bookings for several computers I would like to display that room several times.
I have gotten a correct result with:
SELECT rooms.room_name, t.computer_name, temp.date FROM rooms LEFT JOIN (SELECT computers.room_id, computers.computer_name, bookings.date FROM computers JOIN bookings ON (bookings.computer_id = computers.computer_id)) AS temp ON (rooms.room_id = temp.room_id)
but I would like to use something shorter like: SELECT rooms.room_name, computers.computer_name, bookings.date from computers INNER JOIN bookings ON (computers.computer_id = bookings.computer_id) RIGHT JOIN rooms ON (computers.room_ID = rooms.room_ID)
That however gives me a list where every combination of rooms and computers is listed and bookings displayed when there is a match. I don't really get why this doesn't work and I've been staring at it for days. Could somebody help me out? (I'm using PHP and MySQL)
Let say i have 3 tables (tblA, tblB, tblC). I want to get all data in tblA. At the same time, i want to join the tables. If value in column aStatus equal to 1, it will get the value from tblB. If the column value is 2, it will refer to tblC. Else, if it 0, no need to refer to any table. just like inner join.. but i dun get the logic of how im going to do that.. can someone advise me on how to do the joining? please refer to picture below.
Not sure if this as straight forward as it sounds!
Everytime I create new fields on our DB it creates new tables(our customer units have changed). What I need to do is pull the customer units from both tables into the same column. Is there a way to do this?
I am having trouble building a query that joins three tables. The tables are:
Table------------key fields Organizations---org_KEY (all fields start with org_) Locations-------LOC_KEY--LOC_ORG_KEY (all fields start with loc_) Users-----------USR_ORG_KEY----USR_LOC_KEY (all fields start with usr_)
Every location record is tied to a record in the organization table. (Via loc_key=org_key) Each user record belongs to one organization and one location. (usr_org_key=org_key and usr_loc_key=loc_key) Not all locations have a user. So if there is no user for any location ,I need the address info.
I need a result that is of all organizations, Locations and users Not all locations have a user but they all have address information eg (loc_address1, loc_city, etc....)
OK this is probably a really simple question, but I need to join three tables and I dont understand which types of "JOIN"s to use or how to lay it all out. Just as an example, this is what i want to do:
(table_name | field1, field2,)
kids_tbl | id, first_name, hair, eyes
hair_tbl | id, hair_color
eye_tbl | id, eye_color
So I want to replace the hair and eye color in the kids_tbl (which are numbers corresponding with the ids in the other tables) with the actual word from the correct table.
I have been reading up on this but it just isn't making sense to me.
Hi! I am trying to join two tables and use BETWEEN to restrict record selection. I have a table called, employee and a table called jobs. How do I write a query where I join the two and restrict the record selection by using the employee's salaries?
