Can we replace the where clause operator of '<>' with a join syntax condition.
Could someone explain me the dynamics behind the following query:
select a.b, c.d from a inner join c on a.b <> c.d
This could effectively replace the NOT IN and EXCEPT operators
I am taking Microsoft Course 4329 on Joining Data from Multiple Tables in SQL Server 2005, and I am stumped in the Lab, Task 2, Step 3.
How can I rewrite the following SQL Statement to produce the same results by using a non-equality operator in the join?
use adventureworks select firstname + ' ' + lastname as name, gender, vacationhours as hours from humanresources.employee e join person.contact c on e.contactid=c.contactid where gender='f' and vacationhours>50 order by hours desc
We find that a delete command on a table where the rows to be deleted involve an inner join between the table and a view formed with an outer join sometimes works, sometimes gives error 625.
If the delete is recoded to use the join key word instead of the = sign then it alway gives error 4425.
625 21 0 Could not retrieve row from logical page %S_PGID by RID because the entry in the offset table (%d) for that RID (%d) is less than or equal to 0. 1033 4425 16 0 Cannot specify outer join operators in a query containing joined tables. View '%.*ls' contains outer join operators. The delete with a correleted sub query instead of a join works.
Error 4425 text would imply that joins with view formed by outer joins should be avoided.
SQL Server 2000Howdy All.Is it going to be faster to join several tables together and thenselect what I need from the set or is it more efficient to select onlythose columns I need in each of the tables and then join them together?The joins are all Integer primary keys and the tables are all about thesame.I need the fastest most efficient method to extract the data as thisquery is one of the most used in the system.Thanks,Craig
Why is it that SQL joins (*=) run a little faster as opposed to ANSI joins(LEFT JOIN...)? Aren't they supposed to be almost identical?
The issue is this: we are promoting using ANSI syntax for the obvious reason (future versions of SQL Server may not support SQL Server syntax; portability, etc.)
However, the problem is the speed. What have others done about this? Do you use ANSI syntax or SQL syntax? HOw true is it that future SQL Server versions may discontinue support for the '*=" and "=*' join operators.
I have four tables which I want to return results for an advanced search function, the tables contain different data, but can be quite easily joined,
Table A Contains a Main Image, this image is displayed in the results Table B Contains an Icon, this image is displayed in the results Table C doesn't have an image in it but has a child table with a number of images associated to the table, in the UNION ALL statement I would Like to do a Join to get say the top Image from this child and print it for the row associated with table C.
Select title, description, image from tableA UNION ALL Select title, description, icon as image from tableB UNION ALL title, description, ( inner Join SELECT top(1) from imageTableC where imagetableC.FK = tableC.PK) as image from tableC
Could someone show me the syntax to do this, I have all the information printing to the screen, bar this table C image.
Im having a problem with a statement i cannot seem to get 2 left joins working at the same time 1 works fine but when i try the second join i get this error:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'children_tutorial.school_id=schools.idx LEFT JOIN regions ON children_tutorial.region_id=region.idx'.
My SQL statment is as follows :- SELECT children_tutorial.*,schools.schoolname,regions.rname FROM children_tutorial LEFT JOIN schools ON children_tutorial.school_id=schools.idx LEFT JOIN regions ON children_tutorial.region_id=region.idx
I am using an Access database i have tried all sorts to get it working and its driving me mad!! any help would be really appreciated.
When I add a constraint to the where part of the SQL statement below it will only show the nc_department.department where siteid equals it. How do I pull and display all of those departments regardless of where the siteid = the selected item? In other words doesnt the Left outer Join supposed to grab all contents from the left table regardless?
SQL = "SELECT nc_department.order_id, nc_department.department, Count(nonconformance.department_id) as 'events', ISNULL(SUM(nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty),0) as wafers FROM nc_department LEFT OUTER JOIN nonconformance ON nc_department.department_id = nonconformance.department_id WHERE nc_department.active = '1' AND nonconformance.site_id = '" & siteid.SelectedItem.Value & "' GROUP BY nc_department.department , nc_department.order_id"
Soory if this is a bit basic, but I'm chasing my tail: I have two select statements: SELECT MyRows from Table1 where X = 1 SELECT OtherRows From Table 2 Where y = 3 I want to produce a LEFT JOIN between the result of each query, and return the resultant rows I know this is not correct syntax:
(SELECT MyRows from Table1 where X = 1) LEFT JOIN (SELECT OtherRows From Table 2 Where y = 3) ON Tabel1.Row1 = Table2.Row2
but I think it illustrates what I want to do If I do the WHERE after the join I only get where there is a righthand table I cant get the syntax right, an example with the correct grammar would be very much appreciated
Instead of inserting into, how can I use a join of multiple tables to update a table. This is the join that inserts.
INSERT INTO [table] (MyID, material, dollars) SELECT l.MyID, material, dollars FROM Tab_Client_Input l left outer JOIN Tab_Special_tox r ON l.MyID = r.MyID

I am not a SQL programmer, but I am trying to use data collected in our Job Costing system to feed data to a crystal report that summarizes the current department name and the last date each job was scanned into a department. I used aliases of the Process table to extract the max date for each department.
This statement works fine, but sometimes it hangs and locks my process table. I am not sure what event causes the lock, but I think it has to do with the users aborting the report during the SQL extract or multiple users trying to report at the same time (8am when they first arrive at work).
I showed this to a consultant and he showed me that the MAX statement in the 3rd to last join was eating most of the execution time. Also he told me I am using too many joins and should look into Table Views. The statement completes in 15 to 45 seconds, depending on the workload.
What can I do to improve the performance of this code and to avoid the locks?

Heya - Very new here to SQL, but when I do this following query
SELECT ProjMgr, SUM(Fee) AS Fee FROM dbo.PR WHERE (ProjMgr = '00138') GROUP BY ProjMgr
I return these results:
ProjMgrFee 001389145297
Simple enough, so I flex my newbie SQL muscles and put in the last name instead of the ProjectManager's employee number
SELECT dbo.EM.LastName, SUM(dbo.PR.Fee) AS Fee FROM dbo.PR INNER JOIN dbo.EM ON dbo.PR.ProjMgr = dbo.EM.Employee WHERE (dbo.PR.ProjMgr = '00138') GROUP BY dbo.EM.LastName
And get these results
LastNameFee Boulet9145297
Okay, NOW I'm getting cocky. I try to bring in an amount indicating held labor from another table that will have multiple instances of the same number, called WBS1, and show a sum of values contained over months of history in a sum. Before I do that, I add the table, and then I'm stuck - look what happens to my fee column...any ideas?
SELECT dbo.EM.LastName, SUM(dbo.PR.Fee) AS Fee FROM dbo.PR INNER JOIN dbo.EM ON dbo.PR.ProjMgr = dbo.EM.Employee INNER JOIN dbo.LD ON dbo.PR.WBS1 = dbo.LD.WBS1 WHERE (dbo.PR.ProjMgr = '00138') GROUP BY dbo.EM.LastName
Select * from Fact1 UNION Select * from Fact2 JOIN
(Select top(col1),... from Fact3 INNER JOIN Table1 group by Col2 ) ON....
The above one was executing in 5 minutes
I changed the inner query to say
Select Quarter,top(col1),... from Fact3 INNER JOIN View1 group by Quarter,Col2
I have made sure that the inner query is returning the same set of rows before and after modification. But still the modified query runs for ever. I am refering 2 databases(both SQL Server 2000 databases, on the same server- including the current). Please also note that I had a inner join to a table which I have changed to a view in the inner query.
I suppose this is due to the change in the execution plan. What should I do to make this work?
Any ideas?

I am very new to SQL and I have a question about inner joins. By using a lookup table and a row function, I have the following question and code. I am not sure if it right or not. I would appreciate any assistance:
For every type of food in the l_foods table, list the following:
The full name of the supplier from the l_suppliers table. The description of food from the l_foods table The price from the l_foods table plus the price_increase from the l_foods table; rename it to total_price
When price increase is null, assume that the 10 cents will be added to the price. Sort this information ty the total price.
SELECT a.supplier_name, b.description, b.price_increase AS total_price FROM l_suppliers AS a, l_foods AS b;
Orange- l_foods table Blue - l_supplier table Red - within both tables.
What is happening internally when a join is performed ?. Why there are two outer joins as both of them performing the same opertion?.Use left join key word and swap the tables , its will perform a right join .Is that correct?

Hello everyone. What is meant by left join, right join, and cross join, etc...? Sorry for the question. Im using SQL 2005 for just 6 months, and only the INNER JOIN i know.
I understand that An inner join's ON condition retrieves only those records that satisfy the join condition. An outer join does the same thing but with the addition of returning records for one table in which there were no matching records in the other table.
Suppose I write the following Query, SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.CompanyName, Orders.OrderID FROM Customers LEFT JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID ORDER BY Customers.CustomerID
Do I need to declare the CustomerID as a Primary Key?
Is there any relation between Joins and Primary key declarations?
I'm quite new to Microsoft sql and so please forgive me if I appear a novice. However, could someone please give me help with the following 2 queries:
1. I need to retrieve the names of each ward that currently has at least 5 resident patients.
2. I need to retrieve the names and ward numbers of all patients that have been referred to the Dermatology department (this data is in the doctor specialism column).
The db has the following 4 tables:
doctor ( staff_no CHAR(3), doctor_name CHAR(12), position CHAR(15), specialism CHAR(15), PRIMARY KEY(staff_no) )
I'm trying to figure out how to sum amounts generated by an attribute in one table, when the attribute and amount generated require some Joins....
Each referral can refer more than one patient. Each patient can have multiple visits. Each visit generates one bill (one Total_Charges)
Select Referral.First_Name, Referral.Last_Name, Billing.Total_Charges as [Revenue] from Referral inner join Patient on Patient.Referral_ID = Referral.Referral_ID inner join PatientVisit on PatientVisit.Patient_ID = Patient.Patient_ID inner join Billing on Billing.Visit_ID = PatientVisit.Visit_ID group by sum(total_charges);
Right now this works fine, but every Referral who has sent multiple patients appears on a separate lines.
So a referral by the name of John Smith comes back like this:
John Smith 500.00 John Smith 300.00 John Smith 100.00
