i'm running the following code on Ms SQL Server 2000, Query Analyzer to analyze the result of Nested Loop Join.
SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON
GO
SELECT pdN.ProductID, pdN.ProductName,
spN.CompanyName, spN.ContactName
FROM dbo.ProductsNew pdN
INNER JOIN dbo.SuppliersNew spN
ON pdN.SupplierId = spN.SupplierId
GO
but the execution plan give me the following result :-
I have came across a situation - When there are no indices on the tables and if we force SQL server to use the "Nested Loop" joins, the query becomes very slow. Since there are no indices then Nested loop join should not be used.
The background for this problem is - Analysis services is sending some query to SQL server while doing the cube processing. SQL server is using Nested loop joins even though there are no indices on any of the tables. Is there any way by which we can force the SQL server/Analysis services not to use Nested loop joins since there are no indices in any of the tables.
Hi there. I want to avoid a cursur using a quite basing nested while loop. The problem is, that the outer index-variable (i) won't increment at all while the inner loop works perfectly.
This one should be quite easy to solve I guess, I'd be very happy if someone could give me a hint what I should try, though because I don't know what to try. The manual didn't help me much either, using CONTINUE and BREAKs didn't solve this problem for me.
My code: DECLARE @i INTEGER DECLARE @j INTEGER SET @i = 1 SET @j = 0
WHILE(@i<= 10) BEGIN WHILE(@j <= 100) BEGIN SELECT @i, @j, COUNT(*) as anz FROM mytable WHERE dim1 = @i AND dim2 = @j SET @j = @j + 1 END SET @i = @i + 1 END
I want to know how to create a recursive loop/function in SQL, I can’t seem to figure out how to do it. The database table I am working with is simply the following: SeedID, ThisParentSeedID 1, 0 2, 1 3, 1 4, 2 5, 4 6, 5 7, 6 8, 7 9, 7 10, 7 11, 10 12, 0 13, 0 14, 0 The example table above shows that SeedID 1 = the parent level of the data. SeedID 2 and 3 are children of SeedID 1, 4 is child of 2, 5 is child of 4... 12 13 and 14 are also parent levels (they are not children of anything). I want to know how to create a SQL script that is “object oriented� in that I will not have to create as many levels of nested scripts as there are nested “children� in the data. What I am wanting to figure out is, with a single script, “which sub-children are assigned to [@SeedID]�? So if this script was called, and @SeedID = 1, it would return (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11). If @SeedID = 12, it would return null. If @SeedID = 7, it would return (8,9,10,11) I have tried to keep my question and data as simple as possible for the sake of getting some feedback or help. If you want me to clarify or explain better, please ask me to!
Hi,I'm probably missing something obvious (either that or doing this totally wrong).I'm trying to use a nested loop to generate the following results:Unit Day1 Day2 Day3 Day4 Day5Name1 25 45 89 54 76Name2 48 54 81 74 98What I have so far is this:WHILE @FCount < @TotalFoodUnitsBEGINSELECT (SELECT Unit FROM tbl_acc_FoodVenues WHERE UnitID = (@FCount + 1)) AS Unit WHILE @FDCount < @Days BEGIN SELECT (SELECT FdRevenue_a FROM tbl_acc_aud_SportsAudits WHERE AudDate = DATEADD(day, @FDCount, @pdStartDate)) AS Rev SET @FDCount = @FDCount + 1 END SET @FCount = @FCount + 1ENDAny suggestions please

I need to create a query to list all the subfolders within a folder.
I have a database table that lists the usual properties of each of the folder.
I have another database table that has two columns
1. Parent folder 2. Child folder
But this table maintains the parent child relationship only to one level.
For example if i have a folder X that has a subfolder Y and Z. And Y has subfolders A and B. and B has subfolder C and D and C has subfolder E and F
The database table will look like
parentfolder child folder X Y X Z Y A Y B B C B D C E C F
I want to write a query which will take a folder name as the input and will provide me a list of all the folders and subfolders under it. The query should be based on the table (parent - child) and there should not be any restriction on the subfolder levels to search and report for.
I have been banging my head to do this but i have failed so far. Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

I have to automate a process that assigns sales leads to sales people.For example:Every day we buy a list of sales leads, it ranges in size from 50 -100 records.We have a team of sales people that also can range from 5 - 8 people.I need to take the new records and divide them evenly among the salespeople.If i get 50 records, and have 5 sales people, then each sales persongets 10 leads.--So, im guessing that I may need to have a nested loop inside this.

I have two queries that seem to be the same, but perform very differently. The first query runs very fast (7000+ records returned in <1 sec.). The execution plan shows that it uses a nested loop with index seeks on both tables.
select * from t_loadbasic
where ld_nbr in (select ld_nbr from t_tripcombined where comp_date between '11/1/07' and '11/05/07')
The second query is almost the same, save the fact that it uses date variables instead of hard dates. The execution plan shows that it uses a hash match instead of a nested loop with an index scan on the main table (t_loadbasic). This query takes about 12 seconds to run.
declare @startdate datetime
,@enddate datetime
set @startdate = '11/1/07'
set @enddate = '11/5/07'
select * from t_loadbasic
where ld_nbr in (select ld_nbr from t_tripcombined where comp_date between @startdate and @enddate)
I'm trying to figure out why the database executes these two statements so differently. BTW, I've tried switching the order of the tables. I've tried using joins instead of a subquery. The execution plan seems completely dependant on the use of variables. I can attach the execution plans if necessary.
I apologize if this is too simple a question, but I couldn't find an answer on any forums, web searches or BOL. Thanks in adavance.
Hi friends, I've been stumped on this for almost a week now. Everything works in the stored procedure code below except for the 'INSERT INTO @Uppdates' block of code.

I have a database that contains a PERSONNEL table, a VISIT table, and a STARSHIP table. I am trying to generate a single column list of the personnel that are from Vulcan (PERSONNEL.PLANET) and all starships that have visited Vulcan (VISIT.PLANET). VISIT.SHIP and STARSHIP.REGISTRY columns contain the ships identifiers. How would I accomplish this? I am just beginning sql so please be nice ;)
If your prediction join is to a SQL datasource, you can easily write a SQL query which returns a nested table like:
SELECT Predict([Subcategories],2) as [Subcategories] FROM [SubcategoryAssociations] NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN (SELECT (SELECT 'Road Bikes' AS Subcategory UNION SELECT 'Jerseys' AS Subcategory ) AS Subcategories ) AS t
What about if your datasource is a cube? Is there some special MDX syntax similar to the SQL syntax above? Or do you have to utilize the SHAPE/APPEND syntax as follows?
SELECT t.*, $Cluster as ClusterName FROM [MyModel] PREDICTION JOIN SHAPE { select [Measures].[My Measure] on 0, [My Dimension].[My Attribute].[My Attribute].Members on 1 from MyCube } APPEND ( { select [Measures].[Another Measure] on 0, NON EMPTY [My Dimension].[My Attribute].[My Attribute].Members *[Product].[Product].[Product].Members on 1 from MyCube } RELATE [[My Dimension]].[My Attribute]].[My Attribute]].[MEMBER_CAPTION]]] TO [[My Dimension]].[My Attribute]].[My Attribute]].[MEMBER_CAPTION]]] ) AS [My Nested Table] AS t ON [MyModel].[Product].[Product] = t.[My Nested Table].[[Product]].[Product]].[Product]].[MEMBER_CAPTION]]]
Here is the content of the tbIntersect table: Car100_ID Car200_ID Car300_ID Car400_ID Car500_ID Car600_ID Car700_ID Prod_ID ID 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 19 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 20
I need to return the rows that have null data, ex: second row because Prod_ID is NULL and third row because Car300_ID is NULL. In fact I need the data from the other joint tables that correspond to these ID fields.
i have been trying to determine which is the most efficient, with regards to speed and efficiency, between a view and a common/nested table expression when used in a join.
i have a query which could be represented as index view or a common table expression, which will then be used to join against another table.
the indexed view will use indexes when performing the join. is there a way to make the common table expression faster than an indexed view?
I have a table called Tbltimes in an access database that consists of the following fields:
empnum, empname, Tin, Tout, Thrs
what I would like to do is populate a grid view the a select statement that does the following.
display each empname and empnum in a gridview returning only unique values. this part is easy enough. in addition to these values i would also like to count up all the Thrs for each empname and display that sum in the gridview as well. Below is a little better picture of what I€™m trying to accomplish.

im using VWD 2005 for this project and im at a loss as to how to accomplish these results. if someone could just point me in the right direction i could find some material and do the reading.
I was writing a query using both left outer join and inner join. And the query was ....
SELECT Â Â Â Â Â Â Â S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname FROM Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN Â Â Â Â Â Â (Production.Products AS P Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname FROM Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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.
OLEDB source 1 SELECT ... ,[MANUAL DCD ID] <-- this column set to sort order = 1 ... FROM [dbo].[XLSDCI] ORDER BY [MANUAL DCD ID] ASC
OLEDB source 2 SELECT ... ,[Bo Tkt Num] <-- this column set to sort order = 1 ... 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) ... 4-400-8000119 4-400-8000120 4-400-8000121 4-400-8000122 <--row not joining 4-400-8000123 4-400-8000124 ...

All other rows are joining as expected. Why is it failing for this one row?
I'm having trouble with a multi-table JOIN statement with more than one JOIN statement.
For each order, I need to return the following: CarsID, CarModelName, MakeID, OrderDate, ProductName, Total ordered the Car Category.
The carid (primary key) and carmodelname belong to the Cars table. The makeid and orderdate belong to the OrderDetails table. The productname and carcategory belong to the Product table.
The number of rows returned should be the same as the number of rows in OrderDetails.
Why would I use a left join instead of a inner join when the columns entered within the SELECT command determine what is displayed from the query results?
I have a merge join (full outer join) task in a data flow. The left input comes from a flat file source and then a script transformation which does some custom grouping. The right input comes from an oledb source. The script transformation output is asynchronous (SynchronousInputID=0). The left input has many more rows (200,000+) than the right input (2,500). I run it from VS 2005 by right-click/execute on the data flow task. The merge join remains yellow and the task never finishes. I do see a row count above the flat file destination that reaches a certain number and seems to get stuck there. When I test with a smaller file on the left it works OK. Any suggestions?
A piece of software I wrote starting timing out on a query that left outer joins a table to a view. Both the table and view have approximately the same number of rows (about 170000).
The table has 2 very similar columns, one is a varchar(1) and another is varchar(100). Neither are included in any index and beyond the size difference, the columns have the same properties. One of the employees here uses the varchar(1) column (called miscsearch) to tag large sets of rows to perform some action on. In this case, he had set 9000 rows miscsearch value to "g". The query then should join the table and view for all rows where miscsearch is set to g in the table. This query takes at least 20 minutes to run (I stopped it at this point).
If I remove the "where" clause and join all rows in the two tables, the query completes in about 20 seconds. If set the varchar(100) column (called descrip) to "g" for the same rows set via miscsearch, the query completes in about 20 seconds.
If I force the join type to a hash join, the query completes using miscsearch in about 30 seconds.
So, this works:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER HASH JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
and this works:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE descrip = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
But this does't:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
What should I be looking for here to understand why this is happening?
