Left Join Returns Values Where I Was Was Expecting Nulls

Nov 16, 2006

I have a query which is returning a different result set when it is run against identical tables in 2 different environments.

The query is like:

Select
F.LicenseeID, IsSpecialLicensee
from FactTable F
left join View_SpecialLicensee SL on F.LicenseeID = SL.LicenseeID


The Create Statement for the view is like

Create View [dbo].[View_SpecialLicensee]
as
Select LicenseeID, LicenseeName, IsSpecialLicensee = 1
from DimensionLicensee
where LicenseeName like '%ibm%'
or LicenseeName like '%cisco%'
or LicenseeName like '%hp%'


In my test environment, I get the query result I expected:
LicenseeID, IsSpecialLicensee
1 , 1 - (where LicenseeName = 'IBM')
2, null - (where LicenseeName = 'Juniper')
3, 1 - (where LicenseeName = 'Cisco')
4, null - (where LicenseeName = 'Microsoft')
5, null - (where LicenseeName = 'Oracle')
6, null - (where LicenseeName = 'Apple')


In my production environment, I get the following query result:
1 , 1 - (where LicenseeName = 'IBM')
2, 1 - (where LicenseeName = 'Juniper')
3, 1 - (where LicenseeName = 'Cisco')
4, 1 - (where LicenseeName = 'Microsoft')
5, 1 - (where LicenseeName = 'Oracle')
6, 1 - (where LicenseeName = 'Apple')


Ideas as to what changed gratefully received.

FYI the production environment which returned the 2nd dataset is SQL2000, I have got the result I expected in both SQL2000 and SQL2005 development environments.

Right Join Returns Same Results As Left Join

Feb 5, 2015

Why does this right join return the same results as using a left (or even a full join)?There are 470 records in Account, and there are 1611 records in Contact. But any join returns 793 records.

select Contact.firstname, Contact.lastname, Account.[Account Name]
from Contact
right join Account
on Contact.[Account Name] = Account.[Account Name]
where Contact.[Account Name] = Account.[Account Name]

Transact SQL :: Left Join Returns Too Many Rows Vertically

Jun 18, 2015

I have a query that based 2 tables. I wrote a query with a left join on the base table but the result set returns multiple rows for each occurrence in the second table because of the left join. I want but to return all records  from on table A and only matching records from table B which id but I would wan tit to keep return them vertically as the because it make it difficult to read when put in a spreadsheet. It want it to return the values horizontally so the rows are not increasing for each occurrence on table b.

Replacing Values On A Left Outer Join

Apr 10, 2008

Hi all,

I have run into a problem that I am stuck on. I have 3 tables lets call them a,b, and c. What I want to do is left outer join a with b on a common value, then replace any null values in this result with a default value, and then left outer join table c on the previously joined table (on the columns that I just replaced certain values on).

please help!

Thanks

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

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!

How To Return Null Values For Non-exist Record On A Left Join Statement

Oct 16, 2004

I have table Products and Orders that has the following columns:

table Products: ProductID, ProductName
table Orders: OrderID, ProductID, OrderDate, Quantity, Price

The Orders table contains orders placed on all the dates. I want to obtain a list of orders for a particular date, if there is no order for a product on the requested date, I want to return null values for the Quantity and Price fields.

I tried the following select statement:

select Products.ProductName, Orders.Quantity, Orders.Price from Products left join Orders on Products.ProductID = Orders.ProductID where Orders.OrderDate = '10/16/2004'


Where, there are a total of three products (A,B,C) in table Products. Product-C has no order on 10/16/2004, but I want it to return :

ProductName / Quantity / Price
Product-A 5 1.89
Product-B 6 2.43
Product-C null null

Obviously, my sql statement won't work becaue the where clause will filter out Product-C.

Could anyone help me figure out how to modify my sql code to get the resultset I want?

Thanks in advance.

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 ...

...
FROM ....[dbo].[FFFenics] ORDER BY [Bo Tkt Num] ASC

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.

Indexes, Nulls And A Join Problem

Dec 11, 1998

I am getting VERY poor performance on a join even though I have indexes. Instead of using the indexes, SQL Server does a table scan on one of the tables in the join. After I force the index in the query, I can see why. The index doesn't give any better results than a table scan. I suspect it may be because the table has a huge number of rows with null values for one column of a two-column key used in the join. However, the same tables use the indexes and give good performance when queried independently. It seems the problem is specific to join processing. I notice that the index I created appears to have pages referencing the null rows. I know that Oracle disregards nulls when creating indexes, but does SQL Server not do so? Is there any way to create a better index? And if I can't solve the join problem, any suggestions about workarounds?

The details:
-I have TABLE A with columns X, Y, and Z. In TABLE A there are 380,000 rows, and X and Y yield a unique key. The index is on X and Y. This table has 240,000 rows where X is null but there is a non-null value for Y.
-I have TABLE B (60,000 rows) with columns X,Y, and Q, where X,Y, and Q yield the unique key and have an index.
-Here is my query:
SELECT A.Z
FROM A, B
WHERE B.Q=1
AND B.X = A.X AND B.Y = A.Y

I got this far but if there is a part in the item table that does not have an order against it, I do not get a value and my goal is to see any parts that have not been ordered in the last year. Something like this:

WHERE O.PartNumber = I.PartNumber ORDER BY O.DateCreated DESC) O

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 hrappempeducs as ed on e.empdcno = ed.empdcno
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.

NULLS And BLANK Values

Nov 16, 2007



I have a table containing a VARCHAR(9) NOT NULL column. Every record in the column will have alength of 9 if a record exists.

WHEN I run the following query on the table

SELECT Column_A
FROM Table1
WHERE Column_A <> ''

I get no records returned. However, I know that when I run a query

SELECT DATALENGTH(Column_A)
FROM table1
WHERE DATALENGTH(Column_A) <> 9

I have used Datalength instead of LEN because LEN does not return the length of a space character.

I get records amny records. When I copy an individual record from the column, it shows that a space character is in the record.

Does anyone know whay this is happening?

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?

Hi, I'm getting the error Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'dbPWork.id = dbPWorkWord.work_id LEFT JOIN words ON dbPWorkWord.word_id = words.id'." on the query below. Everything looks in place to me. Do you see anything that shouldn't work?

Query:

Code:

Code:

SELECT DISTINCT dbPWork.id, description_e as description, w_id , dateStart, dateEnd FROM dbPWork
LEFT JOIN dbPWorkW ON dbWork.id = dbPWorkW.work_id
LEFT JOIN words ON dbPWorkW.word_id = words.id



Everything works fine until I add the second LEFT JOIN statement. Any ideas? I'm stumped.

Left Join Question

Sep 22, 2005

I have a left join that doesn't suit my request.

select * from A
left join B
on A.x=B.x

The problem is that for a specific record in A we can find 1 or more entries in B. What I want is to return only the 1st entry found on B.
thx
