Query Within Query - Checking For Multiple Fields
Jun 9, 2008
Hi,
I remember seeing a fancy query that checked for multiple fields in a table (I think using a select statement in the where clause but not sure), but can't remember how to do it... here is what I want to do (and maybe there is a much easier way). Thanks!
Table1
id item color
1 shoe red
2 shoe blue
3 coat green
4 coat black
Table2
item color
shoe red
coat green
I want everything in Table1 where item and color are not a match.
So my results should be:
2 shoe blue
4 coat black
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question... it's been that kind of a day!
Thanks!

I have a table that tracks some dates, and I am looking for an SQL statemet that will check all of the fields to see if a prespecified data range is true. For exampe you enter a start and end date and then then the SQL statement would check about 12 different fields to see if any of the dates are within that range. I am trying to use an or statement, but to no avail. So if you have any help it would be greatly appreciated.

Let's say I have a table of users.
Let's imagine there's two fields:
username (PK),
password
Now I need to authenticate a user against this table. What is the recommended approach? Is it better / faster to
(1) SELECT * FROM [User]
WHERE username = 'whatever' AND password='whatever'
or
(2) SELECT * FROM [User]
WHERE username = 'whatever'
and then in my code check that the record returned matched the password?

Suppose I have two tables(Customer and Order) which are as follows:
Code:
Customer
customer_id
first_name
[Code]....
Another thing I am concerned about is that in the line INNER JOIN Order ON Customer.customer_id = Order.customer_id , I have written Customer.customer_id on the left hand side. Is that correct or I should write it on the right hand side of the equal sign?

I'm trying to check which price grids are in use using the price grid_id, and seeing whether this grid_id exists in another query that checks all active contracts. If the grid_id is present (active) I want to return 'Yes', if not I want it to return 'No'.
There are 385 price grids, but my query is only returning the 315 that are active, and ignoring any that are not used. My code is below, how I can see all the records whether Yes or No:
Select distinct
pg.grid_id [Price Grid],
pg.grid_name [Grid Name],
case when exists
(Select
c.grid_id from
customers c
inner join deltickhdr dh on dh.acct = c.custnum and dh.stage <5
where
c.type = 'C' and
dh.dticket is not null) then 'Yes' else 'No' end [Active]
From gridhdr pg inner join customers c on c.grid_id = pg.grid_id
Order by pg.grid_id

Hi all,
I am looking at replacing a polled system with Query Notification. However when I create the SqlDependency I need to be sure I have the correct permissions. I check the SqlClientPermissions via the Demand() method, but also want to ensure I have the correct DB permission given my current connection string. As I understand it I need to have the following permissions:
CREATE PROCEDURE, QUEUE, and SERVICE permissions
SUBSCRIBE QUERY NOTIFICATIONS
SELECT on underlying tables
RECEIVE on QueryNotificationErrorsQueue
I check most of these via the 'has_perms_by_name' function, but cannot find the correct syntax to check for RECEIVE on QueryNotificationErrorsQueue. I would also love to find a way to do this via SMO instead of issuing SQl commands. Also am I missing any checks ....
Finally, I have also run into the problem whereby SQL issues the following error:
The activated proc [dbo].[SqlQueryNotificationStoredProcedure-1fd90369-7781-4bad-a1b7-e1b56e328374] running on queue ImlHostDB.dbo.SqlQueryNotificationService-1fd90369-7781-4bad-a1b7-e1b56e328374 output the following: 'Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'EMEADyerN', error code 0x54b.'
I ran into this issue when I bought my machine out of sleep mode with it no longer connected to the network. Is their no way to get a error notification. In this situation I will just stop seeing notification and without looing at the ErrorLog believe their is nothing wrong.
Many Thanks, Nick

When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
<ParameterList>
<ColumnReference Column="@Measure" ParameterCompiledValue="'all'" />
</ParameterList>
</QueryPlan>
</StmtSimple>
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?

I have two tables .. in one (containing user data, lets call it u).The important fields are:u.userName, u.userID (uniqueidentifier) and u.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier)The second table (w) has fieldsw.delegateID (uniqueidentifier), w.workgroupID (uniqueidentifier) The SP takes the delegateID and I want to gather all the people from table u where any of the workgroupID's for that delegate match in w. one delegateID may be tied to multiple workgroupID's. I know I can create a temporary table (@wgs) and do a: INSERT INTO @wgs SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateIDthat creates a result set with all the workgroupID's .. this may be one, none or multipleI then want to get all u.userName, u.userID FROM u WHERE u.workgroupIDThis query works on an individual workgroupID (using another temp table, @users to aggregate the results was my thought, so that's included) INSERT INTO @users SELECT u.userName,u.userID FROM tableU u LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID WHERE u.workgroupID = @workGroupIDI'm trying to avoid looping or using a CURSOR for the performance hit (had to kick the development server after one of the cursor attempts yesterday)Essentially what I'm after is: SELECT u.userName,u.userID
FROM tableU u
LEFT JOIN tableW w ON w.workgroupID = u.workgroupID
WHERE u.workgroupID = (SELECT workgroupID from w WHERE delegateID = @delegateID) ... but that syntax does not work and I haven't found another work around yet.TIA!

Hi,New to .Net and SQL. I have two tables that I have joined together. RentalControl_Main has the rental informationd and an Adjuster ID that links to the ADjuster table and the adjusters name. I am trying to create a report that gives the "Single" adjuster name and the totals for all of their contracts. I have a details report that gives each contract info. for each specific adjusters rentals. However, I want to just list the adjuster once and give all of their totals. In my SQL statement I have all of it written out and just need to knowwhat to do in place of 'Alex Early' that will give me all of the distinct adjusters.Do I need to code this on the page with a do while loop?Appreciate any help.SELECT SUM(dbo.RentalControl_Main.Rate) / COUNT(dbo.RentalControl_Main.Rate) AS AmtAvg, SUM(dbo.RentalControl_Main.DaysBilled) / COUNT(dbo.RentalControl_Main.DaysBilled) AS DayAvg, SUM(dbo.RentalControl_Main.Rate * dbo.RentalControl_Main.DaysBilled) / COUNT(dbo.RentalControl_Main.Rate) AS TotAvgFROM dbo.RentalControl_Main INNER JOIN dbo.RentalControl_Adjuster ON dbo.RentalControl_Main.AdjusterID = dbo.RentalControl_Adjuster.AdjusterIDWHERE (dbo.RentalControl_Adjuster.AdjusterName = 'Alex Early' AND (dbo.RentalControl_Main.DateClose IS NOT NULL) AND (dbo.RentalControl_Main.AgencyID = '2')

ORDER BY INVENTORY_ITEM_TAB.DESCR
But I don't want to select records if all of these fields have a 0 in them - QTY_ALLOCATED and QTY_ON_HAND and QTY_ON_ORDER.
how to do this type of query. If any of those fields doesn't have a 0 then I would want to return it. I just don't want them if all three of those fields have 0.

I have 2 tables.
Clients
Contacts (multiple contacts for one client)
I'm trying to do a search that pulls a contacts where the search matches either the First Name, last Name or the clients name. If it does return clients, I'd like it to also return all the contacts associated with it.
I have two problems:
1. The query is not bringing up a lot of clients. In many cases a letter brings nothing back. Like G and H even though A and B return results.
2. If it finds a client it only returns one contact. I'd like it to return all contacts for the client.
Here's my query:
SELECT addressbook.clientid, clients.clientname, addressbook.addressid, addressbook.fname, addressbook.lname FROM clients, addressbook where clients.clientid = addressbook.addressid
AND (addressbook.fname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR addressbook.lname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR clients.clientname LIKE
'" . strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%')

Update myTable SET field_1 = @field_1_value , field_2 = @field_2_value, field_3 = @field_1_value + ' x ' + field_2_value
Is this even possible.
I want the user to input values for fields 1 and 2, then in the background combine the two and insert that value in field 3.

I have a table with 6 fields, and I will have all 6 parameters passed in - is there any way to write a query to give me rows based on matching ANY combination of 4 fields out of the 6 parameters passed in ? This is driving me crazy... short of doing an OR statement for all the different combinations - I have no idea how to do this....
This is what I have so far -
SELECT @nodeMachineType = nodeMachineType,
@nodePKID = NodePKID,
@biosVar = Bios,
@computerNameVar = ComputerName,
@diskVolumeVar = DiskVolume,
@guidVar = Guid,
@macAddressVar = MacAddress,
@motherboardVar = motherboard
FROM Nodes_Active
WHERE
case when Bios = @bios then 1 else 0 end +
case when ComputerName = @computerName then 1 else 0 end +
case when DiskVolume = @diskVolume then 1 else 0 end +
case when guid = @guid then 1 else 0 end +
case when macAddress = @macAddress then 1 else 0 end +
case when MotherBoard = @motherboard then 1 else 0 end >= 4

I have just taken over the job of sorting out a rather poorly designed database. It looks like it was 'upsized' from an access database to the SQL server. The SQL server is the 2000 version.
Now I am trying to generate a report of what the students in the database are owing by referencing the Receipt table and then all the available payment methods and allocations. I was wondering if there was anyway to work out data being displayed twice (Let me demonstrate)
Note1: All the tables are linked by a key of ReceiptNo. From what I can see there is a table for every payment type and allocation but no link between the two other then the receipt number.
Using the query:
SELECT T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount AS Chq_Amount, T_credit.Amount AS Cre_Amount, StandingOrder.Amount AS Stn_Amount,
T_BankTransfer.amount AS Bnk_Amount, T_cash.TotalAmount AS Cas_Amount, T_RentPayment.AmountPayed AS Ren_Paid,
T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid AS Adm_Paid, T_InternetBilling.Total AS Int_Paid, T_Utilities.AmountPaid AS Util_Amount,
T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid AS Inv_Paid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount AS Oth_Paid, T_parkingBill.paymentAmount AS Prk_Paid,
T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit AS Tel_Paid, T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment] AS Dep_Amount, T_Receipt.cancelled AS Canceled,
T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo AS Rec_Ref, T_Receipt.Student
FROM T_Receipt INNER JOIN
T_DepositPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_DepositPayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_RentPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_RentPayment.RentPaymentNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
StandingOrder ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = StandingOrder.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_TelephoneBills ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_TelephoneBills.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_parkingBill ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_parkingBill.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_OtherPayments ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_OtherPayments.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_InvoicePayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InvoicePayment.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_cash ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cash.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_AdminPayment ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_AdminPayment.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_BankTransfer ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_BankTransfer.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_Utilities ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_Utilities.receiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_credit ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_credit.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_cheque ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_cheque.ReceiptNo LEFT OUTER JOIN
T_InternetBilling ON T_Receipt.ReceiptNo = T_InternetBilling.ReceiptNo
GROUP BY T_Receipt.Student, T_Receipt.ReceiptNo, T_cheque.Amount, T_credit.Amount, StandingOrder.Amount, T_BankTransfer.amount, T_cash.TotalAmount,
T_AdminPayment.AmountPaid, T_InternetBilling.Total, T_Utilities.AmountPaid, T_InvoicePayment.amountPaid, T_OtherPayments.paymentAmount,
T_parkingBill.paymentAmount, T_TelephoneBills.TelephoneCredit, T_Receipt.cancelled, T_Receipt.RemittanceReceiptNo,
T_DepositPayment.[Deposit payment], T_RentPayment.AmountPayed, T_Receipt.Student
HAVING (T_Receipt.Student LIKE N'06%')
Which gives a result of:
RecNo.
30429
Cheque
250
Deposit
250
30429
679.98
250
This is fine but when I do analysis on this it appears as though the student has paid two deposit payments. I was wondering with out querying each table independently from an application if there was a criteria to specify that I only get one deposit result.
So as such say, give me all the payments but I only want one result from the other tables. I though about discrete but that wouldn't work here.

I'm not a T-SQL expert so I'm calling on the pros. I want to design a stored procedure that updates only fields in a given record for which a non-null parameter is specified.
Example:
Create dbo.MySproc
@CustomerID int,
@CustomerFirstName varchar(50)=NULL,
@CustomerLastName(50)=NULL
AS
UPDATE Customers
SET
CustomerFirstName= @CustomerFirstName , //update only if non-null
CustomerLastName= @CustomerLastName //update only if non-null
WHERE CustomerID = @CustomerID
RETURN
So say when calling sproc if @CustomerFirstName is specified but @CustomerLastName is not, the field CustomerFirstName would be updated but field CustomerLastName would retain original data.
Thanx in advance!

I apologize for the newbie sort of question, but I could not find an answer in an SQL book nor via Google.
I wish to search for a text string in ALL fields of a table. This will be used to provide a simple search box in a web application.
So far, the only method I've found to accomplish this is follows:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE SerialNumber LIKE '%searchstring%' OR UserName LIKE '%searchstring%' OR Location LIKE '%searchstring%' ... etc
My goal is to accomplish something like the following. This, of course, does not execute properly since * can only be used following SELECT, but you can get an idea of the target behavior:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE * LIKE '%searchstring%'
I'm using MSDE with Visual Basic .Net. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks for all help,
Kieran

I have a couple columns in a table that have a data type of Text. In a query I need to concatenate these two columns into one result.
For example
Code:
SELECT (Table1.TextColumn1 + ' ' + Table1.TextColumn2) AS 'Text'
FROM Table1
However when I try this I get the error
Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text.

I am using MS SQL 2012. I have a table that contains all the data that I need, but I need to summarize the data and also add up decimal fields while at it. Then I need a total of those added decimal fields. My data is like this:
I have Providers, a unique ID that Providers will have multiples of, and then decimal fields. Here are my fields:
ID, provider_name, uniq_id, total_spent, total_earned
Here is sample data:
1, Harbor, A07B8, 500.00, 1200.00
2, Harbor, A07B8, 400.00, 800.00
3, Harbor, B01C8, 600.00, 700.00
4, Harbor, B01C8, 300.00, 1100,00
5, LifeLine, L01D8, 700.00, 1300.00
6, LifeLine, L01D8, 200.00, 800.00
I need the results to be just 3 lines:
Harbor, A07B8, 900.00, 2000.00
Harbor, B01C8, 900.00, 1800.00
LifeLine, L01D8, 900.00, 2100.00
But then I would need the totals for the Provider, so:
Harbor, 1800.00, 3800.00
