Left Join Help (Probably) - Query Merging Anyway

Dec 10, 2007

I have this database running (ignore that the ERD below was done in Access, this is being made in Microsoft SQL Server 2005).


What I need to do is if you look at the users table and the orderContents table I need to make a query that:

Collects the users' names and any products they have bought (preferably shown by title not ID) as well as still showing the users that have not ordered any products.

I get the feeling there's a left join involved, but can't quite see how to do it.


Thank you in advanced for any help.

Left Join Vs Left Outer Join Syntax Generates Different Execution Plans

Apr 16, 2008



Anyone know why using

SELECT *
FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id
instead of

SELECT *
FROM a LEFT JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id

generates a different execution plan?

My query is more complex, but when I change "LEFT OUTER JOIN" to "LEFT JOIN" I get a different execution plan, which is absolutely baffling me! Especially considering everything I know and was able to research essentially said the "OUTER" is implied in "LEFT JOIN".

Any enlightenment is very appreciated.

Thanks

Left Outer Join Query?

Sep 12, 2006

Hello all,

I am stuck in a bit of a mess, and i really don't know how to get out of it.

I am a dot.net developer, working with MS SQL server 2000.

I am trying to write a query which essentially gives the amount of stock available for a particular stock_code.

select Stock_code, description from stock

Now what i want to do is, for each one of the stock_code that apears in the table above i want to look into another table called pop_item, and get the closest delivery_date for that particular stock_code. So i have top 1 and order it by delivery_date desc.

Individually for a particular stock_code, i can do this no problem. And here is my code for stock_code='E0016/6'

select top 1
stock_code, delivery_date, order_number,qty_order-qty_delivered as onorder
from pop_item
where
stock_code='E0016/6' and
qty_order>qty_delivered
order by delivery_date desc

But I can't seem to be able to do this for all the stock_code, and not a specific one, cause even though i try and left outer join it, i can't access the outer stock_code from the first query into the next...

i.e

select stock.Stock_code, description, tempp.stock_code, tempp.delivery_date, tempp.onorder from stock

left outer join

(select top 1
stock_code, delivery_date, order_number,qty_order-qty_delivered as onorder
from pop_item
where

--Can't say this(stock_code= stock.stock_code and )
qty_order>qty_delivered
order by delivery_date desc) as tempp

on tempp.stock_code=stock.stock_code

Now my question is, is there anyway to access stock.stock_code within the second query? Casue the whole query on top returns only one value for delivery_date, only of the highest delivery date in the whole of pop_item. which make sense... but i don;t know how to get around this...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hope someone can help me.

Regards,

Munira

ps- should i be using a cursor, can i call cursors from asp.net. every where i read about cursors they adivice us not to use them.

Intermittently Slow Query - Left Join

Apr 21, 2006

Here's a little background on the query. I have a list of documents by an id number in one table and the description of the sheets in another table. It's a one to many relationship, so for each description, there may be multiple entries in the documents table that it applies to. For example:


Descriptions table:

ID | Title
Doc1 | Document 1
Doc2 | Document 2


Documents table:

ID | Parent
Doc1 | 10400
Doc2 | 10400
Doc1 | 20189
Doc3 | 20189

View:

ID | Parent | Description
Doc1 | 10400 | Document 1
Doc2 | 10400 | Document 2
Doc1 | 20189 | Document 1
Doc3 | 20189 | (null)


So the query I am using uses a left join to combine the data from the one table into the other. There might not be an entry for the description, so for some Document entries, the description field may be blank. For some reason, certain queries take about 2 minutes longer than others who retreive 5 times the information.

In SQL Manager, is says "Executing Query. Waiting for response from data source." After about 20 seconds it says "Retrieving Data..." then about a minute later, it finally comes up with the data. I can select another parent that has a lot more items and it comes up in about 3 seconds max.

It's running on SQL Server 2005 with 2GB of RAM.

Any suggestions on tracking down the reason for the slowness would be great.

Thanks in advance!!!

Left Join Insert Query Error

May 8, 2008

I have been working on this for a little bit and have gotten to this point. Below is the query in blue, the error in red. Now, from what I gather the error is telling me I can't insert a duplicate product code into tblProduct. Isn't that what the left join is exactly not doing, as in, the left join is inserting all records from Complete_records into tblProduct where the code is null(does not exist) in tblProduct? Or, is this an issue where the identity number, productID in tblProduct, isn't starting at the next number in turn?

Thanks.

Set Identity_Insert tblProduct on
DECLARE @MaxId int

SELECT @MaxID=MAX(productID)
FROM tblProduct

SELECT IDENTITY(int,1,1) AS ID,Complete_products.APNum, Complete_products.Title, Complete_products.CategoryID, Complete_products.Mountable, Complete_products.price,
Complete_products.Height, Complete_products.Width, Complete_products.IRank, Complete_products.frameable, Complete_products.Typ INTO #Temp
FROM Complete_products LEFT OUTER JOIN
tblProduct AS tblProduct_1 ON Complete_products.APNum = tblProduct_1.productCode
where tblProduct_1.productCode IS NULL

INSERT INTO tblProduct
(productID,productCode, productName, productNavID, CanBeMounted, productRetailPrice, productHeight, productWidth, Rank, CanBeFramed, ProductType)
SELECT @MaxID + ID, APNum, Title, CategoryID, Mountable, price,

Values In LEFT JOIN Need To Be Empty Strings (was SQL Query Question)

Sep 26, 2006

Hello,

I have a SQL database where I am attempting to perform a complicated query that I cannot seem to figure out. I am using SQL Server.

I have 4 tables (TableA, TableB, TableC, and TableD). TableA and TableB are guaranteed to have a relationship.

TableC and TableD are guaranteed to have a relationship.

The trick is, I need to link between TableA and TableC essentially using a LEFT JOIN. I need to retrieve all of the values from TableA regardless and the information from TableC and TableD if there is a link, if there isn't a link, then the values from TableC and TableD need to be empty strings.

Does anyone know how I can do this? I've been trying for the last 5 hours without any luck. I feel I'm close, but there is something I feel I'm overlooking.

Thank you SO much for your help!

Transact SQL :: Difference Between Inner Join And Left Outer Join In Multi-table Joins?

Oct 8, 2015

I was writing a query using both left outer join and inner join.  And the query was ....

SELECT
        S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname
FROM
        Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN
        (Production.Products AS P
         INNER JOIN Production.Categories AS C

[code]....

However ,the result that i got was correct.But when i did  the same query using the left outer join in both the cases

i.e..

SELECT
        S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname
FROM
        Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN
(Production.Products AS P
LEFT OUTER JOIN Production.Categories AS C
ON C.categoryid = P.categoryid)
ON
S.supplierid = P.supplierid
WHERE
S.country = N'Japan';

The result i got was same,i.e

supplier     country    productid    productname     unitprice    categorynameSupplier QOVFD     Japan     9     Product AOZBW    97.00     Meat/PoultrySupplier QOVFD    Japan   10     Product YHXGE     31.00     SeafoodSupplier QOVFD     Japan   74     Product BKAZJ    10.00     ProduceSupplier QWUSF     Japan    13     Product POXFU     6.00     SeafoodSupplier QWUSF     Japan     14     Product PWCJB     23.25     ProduceSupplier QWUSF    Japan     15    Product KSZOI     15.50    CondimentsSupplier XYZ     Japan     NULL     NULL     NULL     NULLSupplier XYZ     Japan     NULL     NULL     NULL     NULL

and this time also i got the same result.My question is that is there any specific reason to use inner join when join the third table and not the left outer join.

'Left Outer Merge Join' Failing To Join Valid Row

Aug 10, 2007

Scenario:

OLEDB source 1
SELECT ...
,[MANUAL DCD ID] <-- this column set to sort order = 1

OLEDB source 2
SELECT ...

These two tasks are followed immediately by a MERGE JOIN

All columns in source1 are ticked, all column in source2 are ticked, join key is shown above.
join type is left outer join (source 1 -> source 2)

result of source1 (..dcd column)

All other rows are joining as expected.
Why is it failing for this one row?

How To Join 3 Tables Using Left Or Right Join Keyword?

Aug 17, 2007

Hi guys,

I'll appreciate any help with the following problem:

I need to retrieve data from 3 tables. 2 master tables and 1 transaction table.

1. Master table TBLOC contain 2 records :
rcd 1. S01
rcd 2. S02

2. Master table TBCODE contain 5 records:

rcd 1. C1
rcd 2. C2
rcd 3. C3
rcd 4. C4
rcd 5. C5

3. Transaction table TBITEM contain 4 records which link to 2 master table:
rcd 1. S01, C1, CAR

rcd 2. S01, C4, TOY
rcd 3. S01, C5, KEY
rcd 4. S02, C2, CAR



I use Left Join & Right Join to retrieve result below (using non-ASNI method) but it doesn't work.

Right Join method:


SELECT C.LOC, B.CODE, A.ITEM FROM TBITEM A RIGHT JOIN TBCODE B ON A.CODE = B.CODE

RIGHT JOIN TBLOC C ON A.LOC = C.LOC

GROUP BY C.LOC, B.CODE, A.ITEM ORDER BY C.LOC, B.CODE



When I use Non-ASNI method it work:



SELECT C.LOC, B.CODE, A.ITEM FROM TBITEM A, TBCODE B, TBLOC C

WHERE A.CODE =* B.CODE AND A.LOC =* C.LOC

GROUP BY C.LOC, B.CODE, A.ITEM ORDER BY C.LOC, B.CODE

Result:

LOC CODE ITEM
-----------------------------
S01 C1 NULL
S01 C2 NULL
S01 C3 CAR
S01 C4 TOY
S01 C5 KEY
S02 C1 NULL
S02 C2 CAR
S02 C3 NULL
S02 C4 NULL
S02 C5 NULL


Please Help.

Thanks.

Merging Field Values From With Inner Join?

Apr 1, 2008

Hello Experts,
Been struggling with this issue all morning and beginning to get a headache.  Essentialy my problem is this.  I have a gridview control that ive bound to datasource where the select statement is using an inner join to retrieve textual info from one table in refernce to an object_id contained within both. i.e
SelectCommand="SELECT 'multiple fields from both tables'FROM ZCRMTAB_ACTIVITY INNER JOIN ZCRMTAB_ACT_LOG ON ZCRMTAB_ACT_LOG.OBJECT_ID = ZCRMTAB_ACTIVITY.OBJECT_ID WHERE (ZCRMTAB_ACTIVITY.REF_CUST_NO = @REF_CUST_NO) ORDER BY ZCRMTAB_ACTIVITY.CREATED_AT DESC">
<SelectParameters><asp:QueryStringParameter Name="fieldName" QueryStringField="value" Type="String" />
My problem is that this returns individual row results and are displayed on individual lines.  Where the object_id is the same i want all the textual info to be displayed within the same row.
Does anyone know how i can accomplish this?
Thanks in advance

SQL LEFT JOIN Help

Jan 26, 2007

I'm trying to join 2 tables. I thought I was getting the correct results but it turns out I'm not.
My Query:
SELECT IVINVA, IVORDN, IVCSLN, IVRESR, IVCITM, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVIAMT as money),1) AS ExtPrice, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVPIVC as money),1) AS DistPrice, IVCSUM, IVQYCS, IVDESC, OIRESR, OIDPCT, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVPIVC - (OIDPCT / 100 * IVPIVC) as money),1) AS NetPrice FROM INVDET1_TBL LEFT JOIN ORDDIS_TBL ON ORDDIS_TBL.OIORDN = INVDET1_TBL.IVORDN AND ORDDIS_TBL.OIRESR = INVDET1_TBL.IVRESR WHERE IVORDN = '0859919' AND IVINVA = '00324024'
 Basically, my problem lies in the seonc condition of the LEFT JOIN. I needed to set the two tables equal my item number, because in some situations I need that logic to get the correct result. It most other cases, that item column in the ORDDIS_TBL is NULL, thus giving me the wrong results. In that case, I would want the JOIN to only be ORDDIS_TBL.OIORDN = INVDET1_TBL.IVORDN, and not include the second part. Is there a way I can condition this with an If statement, If ORDDIS_TBL.OIRESR is Null then do this join, if not, then do this? I'm confused how to get the proper result here.

How Many 'LEFT JOIN' Is Too Many?

Feb 26, 2004

Any one know any facts and figures about maximum Left Joins allowed (or recommended) in one query?

I am running a MS SQL 2000 my database is full of relational data and most of my foreign keys (INT data type) are a Clustered Indexed, Usually I will only be pulling one record from collection of about a dozen tables, but the Database is expected to grow fast and become big.

Right now I have a Stored Proc that has eight(8) LEFT JOINs in it. My worry is that this query will kill me as the database approaches 50,000 records.

left join hrsetschools as sch on ed.schoolcode = sch.schcode

the above query gives a 77 records

if i ran "select * from hremployees" generates 60 records

i think the error is in the left joining.
hrappempcharrefs, hrappempeducs and hrsetschools must be left joined to hremployees.

Left Outer Join-please Help!

Jan 7, 2002

Hello!
I need to write a query using left outer join and I'm having trouble with it.
I have 2 tables:customer and cust_info.
I want to pull all records from customer table and cust_info table even if there is no related data in cust_info table.
But I need one condition in this query:only records from customer table where cus_type in ("A","B","C").
I don't need all other types ("D","E").

So my query looks like this:

select customer.cus_name,customer.cus_address,customer.cu s_type,cus_info.status
from customer
left outer join cus_info ON customer.sxdat_pk = cus_info.sxdat_pk
and cus_type in ("A","B","C")
AND cus_info.cus_table = 'CUSTOMER'

The result should be like this:

cus_name cus_address cus_type status
Amoco 457 bent A new
Bingo 47 lone oak C NULL
Sears 1020 Magic dr. B exist


But my query pulls records for customers with type "D" and "E" that I'm trying to exclude from result.


Please help.
Thanks,
lena

LEFT JOIN Problem

Apr 18, 2008

Hello everybody!!!

I have to left join 2 tables. The first consists of columns:id, description, descr_num.
The second table: id, descr_num, value.

I need to extract description from table1 where descr_num is in the range , say, 1-10.

LEFT JOIN

extract value from table2 ,descr_num should be in the same range. in table2 some values from (1,10) and desc_num could be not present.
BUT i want this left join to be limited as i said.

Is there any solution to this prob. without creating temp tables. Or actually can i do such a join?
Thank you

Left Join And Subquery

May 1, 2004

Hi,
Iwant to make a left join between two tables connected with a specific field
but I also want to have some criteria on the right table.
I want to display all the rows from the first(left) table and only the rows from the secod (right) table that match the join and the criteria.
However If I have criteria on the second table the join behaves like an inner join displaying only the rows that exist in both tables.
In MS Access instead of the right table I use a query in which I enter the criteria and then I connect it with a left join in a new query in order to get the right results. How can I do itin MSSQLServer without using Views?
Must I use a subquery with Exists and what is the right syntax in order to achieve this?

Hi there,

I have three tables
Job
JobID
WeightIn
WeightOut

Operator
OperatorID
NameFirst
NameLast

JobOperator
JobOperatorID
JobID
OperatorID

a job can be done with 1 or more operators
I want to be able to show user both assigned and unassigned operator on the front end on a certain job so I haev only parm being passed in @jobID.

How do I got about showing all the operators but somehow differentiate ones already assigned to job

Thanks!
