I have a query which wants to union join the data. no matter how many times I tried, I got an error. How to change my union query?

I have a XML data passed on to the stored proc in the following format, and within the stored proc I am accessing the data of xml using the nodes() method
Here is an example of what i am doing
DECLARE @Participants XML
SET @Participants = '<ArrayOfEmployees xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Employees EmpID="1" EmpName="abcd" />
<Employees EmpID="2" EmpName="efgh" />
</ArrayOfEmployees >'
SELECT Participants.Node.value('@EmpID', 'INT') AS EmployeeID,
Participants.Node.value('@EmpName', 'VARCHAR(50)') AS EmployeeName
FROM
@Participants.nodes('/ArrayOfEmployees /Employees ') Participants (Node)
the above query produces the following result
EmployeeID EmployeeName
--------------- -----------
1 abcd
2 efgh
How do I join the data coming out from the above query with another table in the database, for example Employee in this case
i.e. somewhat like this (note the following query does not perform the join correctly)
SELECT Participants.Node.value('@EmpID', 'INT') AS EmployeeID,
Participants.Node.value('@EmpName', 'VARCHAR(50)') AS EmployeeName
FROM
@Participants.nodes('/ArrayOfEmployees /Employees ') Participants (Node)
INNER JOIN
Employee EMP ON EmployeeID = EMP .EmployeeID
My desired output after the join would be
EmployeeID EmployeeName Email Home Address
--------------- ----------- --------------- -----------
1 abcd abcd@abcd.com New York
2 efgh efgh@efgh.com Austin
I have two queries from two different tables ex ABC and BCD. For table ABC, according to my query, I got 11 records ; for table BCD I only got 9 records.
Bottom line: I would like to see only 11 records from Table ABC including certain data from table BCD after I joined this two tables.
However, no matter what I did I always got 99 records when I joined.
I have created a phone list and am using a union to be able to display letter category. However, what I would like to do is only show the letter category if their is an employee with the corresponding last name.
For example, if someone does not have a last name starting with "Z", then "Z" should not show up on my report.
SELECT LastName, FirstName, Dept, Phone
UNION ALL
SELECT v.letter,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL
FROM (VALUES('A'),('B'),('C'),('D'),('E'),('F'),('G'),('H'),('I'),('J'),('K'),('L'),('M'),('N'),('O'),('P'),('Q'),('R'),('S'),('T'),('U'),('V'),('W'),('X'),('Y'),('Z')) AS v(letter)
ORDER BY vchLastName, vchFirstName
I am writing a stored procedure that takes in a customer number, a current (most recent) sales order quote, a prior (to most current) sales order quote, a current item 1, and a prior item 1, all of these parameters are required.Then I have current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3, which are optional.
I added an IF to check for the value of current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3, if there are values, then variable tables are created and filled with data, then are retrieved. As it is, my stored procedure returns 3 sets of data when current item 1, prior item 1, current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3 are passed to it, and only one if 2, and 3 are omitted.I would like to learn how can I return this as a one data set, either using a full outer join, or a union all?I am including a copy of my stored procedure as it is.

I am trying to run a UNION ALL query in SQL SERVER 2014 on multiple large CSV files - the result of which i want to get into a table in SQL Server. below is the query which works in MSAccess but not on SQL Server 2014:
SELECT * INTO tbl_ALLCOMBINED FROM OPENROWSET
(
'Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0' , 'Text;Database=D:DownloadsCSV;HDR=YES',
'SELECT t.*, (substring(t.[week],3,4))*1 as iYEAR,
''SPAIN'' as [sCOUNTRY], ''EURO'' as [sCHAR],
[Code] ....
What i need is:
1] to create the resultant tbl_ALLCOMBINED table
2] transform this table using PIVOT command with following transformation as shown below:
PAGEFIELD: set on Level = 'Item'
COLUMNFIELD: Sale_Week (showing 1 to 52 numbers for columns)
ROWFIELD: sCOUNTRY, sCHAR, CATEGORY, MANUFACTURER, BRAND, DESCRIPTION, EAN (in this order)
DATAFIELD: 'Sale Value with Innovation'
3] Can the transformed form show columnfields >255 columns i.e. if i want to show all KPI values in datafield?
P.S: the CSV's contain the same number of columns and datatype but the columns are >100, so i dont think it will be feasible to use a stored proc to create a table specifying that number of columns.
hi all
Any day, another question. I love you guys.
I want to select a subset of data from a dataset returned by either another subquery or a union.
e.g. this is how i would do it in oracle, but i have no idea how this can be done in mssql or whether it's possible at all.
select * from
(
select col1, col2, col3 from table1
union
select col1, col2, col3 from table 2
)
where col1 = 'blah'
in essence oracle treats the data returned by the subquery as a table that it would select from.
how would i do the same in mssql?
thank you
James :)

What SQL Query should i run to merge or join these 2 tables into 1
The output that i would like it the following
DATA
1 6
2 7
3 8
9 9
Is this possible?
I am trying to merge the selected contents of 2 tables by using a date field in both tables.
For example, in the AdventureWorks database of VS2005, I would like 3 columns: loginID, modifieddate and addressline1. Where the row has come from the Employee table, the address field should be blank, so its not really a join that I want (at least I dont think so).
This query only returns 2 colums:
select loginid, modifieddate from HumanResources.Employee union all select addressLine1, modifiedDate from Person.Address
Is this possible, or do I need an additional common column that can be inner joined on the 2 tables?
Can anyone help?

Ok, getting a little better at joins, but now need to take it two more steps.Main table tblEquipmentsFields: ID, EquipmentType, Location, StatusSecond Table tblEquipments_GroupFields: equipmentID, categoryID, subCategoryID (all are ints)I joined these two together and got the info back I needed:SELECT a.ID, a.Description, a.Status, a.Location, from tblEquipments ainner join tblEquipments_Group U on u.categoryID = a.EquipmentTypeand u.subCategoryID = @type Now, the a.status returns a number. What the status actually is is in tblStatus.Fields: statusID (int) , Status (varchar).So, the statusID matches a.Status.I need to get the text from tblStatus in the field Status and replace the a.Status (which is a number still) with the text.The other one, location, is the same situation.I've been trying to do another join and am at an end on this.Suggestions?Thanks!!Zath

hi
can any one help me to solve this question?
Hi,
I am trying to normalize data using the unpivot transform. I have to unpivot using more than one key so I have a multicast feeding into two unpivot transforms then into a sort transform. This is where my problem starts - I have tried using a Merge Join (inner Join) transform but dont get the expected result.
My original data looks like this:
Pk_ID
Choice1
Choice2
Feedback1
Feedback2
10
a
b
x
y
After the mulitcast - unpivot - Merge Join, the expected result is: (pk_newID is an identity)
Pk_newID
fk_ID
Choice
Feedback
563
10
a
x
564
10
b
y
However with a Merge-Join (inner join on pk_ID) I get
Pk_newID
fk_ID
Choice
Feedback
563
10
a
x
564
10
a
y
565
10
b
x
566
10
b
y
Is the Merge Join transform not the right choice?
Thanks
I have this sql....
Select
DISTINCT p.dbPatID, p.dbpatfirstname, p.dbPatLastName,
s.dbSchTypeCnt as SchDetailType, t.dbSchTypeCnt as SchTypeType,
ISNULL(r.dbStatusDesc, 'No Ref') AS dbStatusDesc,
ISNULL(t.dbSchTypeCode, 'No Ref') AS dbSchTypeCode,
ISNULL(t.dbSchTypeDesc, 'No Ref') AS dbSchTypeDesc,
[code]....
however, I only want the lastest a.dbPatApptTime and only when a.dbPFStatus = 1 and a.ClientRef = 'EPS'
So the stand alone sql could be....
Select Top(1) dbPatApptTime as LastVisitDate, dbSchTypeDesc as LastVisitDesc
from appointments
where dbPFStatus = 1 and clientref = 'EPS'
order by dbPatApptTime desc
I'm just not sure how to incorporate that into my sql or whether there is a better way,
I'm creating a sql stored procedure inside this proc it returns some information about the user, i.e location, logged in, last logged in, etc I need to join this on to the photos table and return the photo which has been set as the profile picture, if it hasn't been set then return the first top 1 if that makes sense?
The user has the option to upload photos so there might be no photos for a particular user, which I believe I can fix by using a left join
My photos table is constructed as follows:
CREATE TABLE [User].[User_Photos](
[Id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[UserId] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[PhotoId] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[IsProfilePic] [bit] NULL,
[Code] ....
Currently as it stands the proc runs but it doesn't return a particular user because they have uploaded a photo so I need to some how tweak the above to return null if a photo isn't present which is where I'm stuck.
I have 3 tables as per following:

Item1This is 110
Item2This is 220
I want to pull only the 1 line for minqty for an item as follows
OrderProductQtyOrddate minqty
1 Item1 20 10/06/2015 10
2 Item1 10 05/07/2015
3 Item2 10 07/06/2015 20
4 Item1 5 15/08/2015
4 Item2 5 15/08/2015
I have data that I want at multiple granularities, 5,15,30 and 60 minutes. To reduce repetition, I have put them all in the same table, so that there is a column for 5,15,30 and 60 minutes, with a filtered index on each of the columns that removes the nulls. This means that each day will have 288 slots, but only 24 of the slots are filled in for 60 min data, and all of them are filled for 5 minute data.
I have another column that specifies the interval granularity, and my first thought was to access my data through a join, where I can use a CASE statement, and depending on the data granularity necessary, it will look at a different column:
INNER JOIN Data d ON
AND d.settlement_key =
CASE st.interval_granularity
WHEN 5 THEN [5_min_settlement_key]
WHEN 15 THEN [15_min_settlement_key]
WHEN 60 THEN [60_min_settlement_key]
ELSE NULL END
Despite the presence of the indexes on the columns, then the process seems to be quite slow, I think probably due to the fact that any query plan isn't going to know beforehand which of the columns it is going to use for any given dataset, until it actually starts to run, so it may not be optimised.
How I could optimise this based on the given structure? Maybe there are hints to be added to the join, or maybe I can clear the query plan each time the SQL is run? My other option for dealing with the data of different granularity was to use one column and repeat the data multiple times, each at the different granularity, but this makes my data, row and table sizes much higher, as we are adding just a column for each additional granularity. Would this work any better in future versions of SQL server, maybe with column store indexes?
Simple request and I am going nuts!
Simple Explanation:
I have a table with numbers 1-5, I want to left join a table with numbers 1-10, and show a sum... So since numbers 6-10 will not match anything, I will have a sum of zero for those rows. Simple, I thought!
SELECT SUM(ISNULL(RI.quantity,0)) AS Quantity, usr.conversionRate, usr.CorpType

SELECT .05, 2 UNION ALL SELECT .5, 2 UNION ALL SELECT 1, 2 UNION ALL SELECT 1.5, 2 UNION ALL
SELECT 1.75, 2 ID UNION ALL SELECT 2, 2 ) usr
LEFT OUTER JOIN Items I
ON I.ConversionRate = usr.conversionRate
LEFT OUTER JOIN Requests_Items RI
ON I.ID = RI.itemID
AND ISNULL(RI.impactMonth,RI.dueDate) >= '02/01/2008' and ISNULL(RI.impactMonth,RI.dueDate) < '03/01/2008'
LEFT OUTER JOIN Corporations_Requests CR
ON CR.requestID = RI.requestID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Corporations C
ON C.CorpID = CR.corporationID
AND C.CorpType = usr.CorpType
GROUP BY usr.CorpType, usr.conversionRate
ORDER BY usr.CorpType, usr.conversionRate
I have no clue why this doesn't work. It appears that the UNION ALL(s) are being crossed joined. Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated!

Can the collation used by SSIS be changed or influenced during install or run time? We have found that our databases, that use a mandatory "LATIN1_GENERAL_BIN", have incorrect SSIS Merge Join output. Changing our database collation in testing didn't make a difference. What matters is the data. Which Windows collation is SSIS using?
Example Data:
FIRSTNAME
FIRSTNAME
FIRSTS-A-NAME
FIRSTS_A_NAME
FIRST_NAME
FIRST_NAME
FIRSTname
FIRSTname
FIRS_NAME
put in a Sort task before the Merge Join task as setting advanced properties isn't enough (as described by Eric Johnson here --> [URL] ......
We are using 64-bit SQL Server 2008 R2 w/ SP1 in Windows Server 2008 R2 ENT w/ SP1.
UPDATE from ETL team: Explicitly ordering the source with "COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS" seems to have the same effect as using a separate sort task. We don't feel that we can rely on our findings, however, unless we have documentation that this collation is what is behind SSIS.
Refer to my query thread on msdn SQL site, how I can achieve the result.

I have an intermittent issue where some remote PC's occasionally fail to execute select queries that have a join or return multiple result sets, however simple one table select queries continue to work okay. When it does happen the PC's needs to be rebooted to get to work again. This may only happen some PC's while others continue to work away okay.
I am using a VB6 application and ADO to connect to the database and the error message I get is a General Network Error, Server Not Found when it fails to execute the query. I have ran SQL Profiler on the server and while simple select queries continue to run away okay, a query a join does not even seem to show up in the profiler. The program has been working fine for 15 years with 1000's of users and has only now become an issue on one site for a number of users. Have tried moving the database to a different server and swapping network cards on the local PC's but can't seem to find the cause. The processor and the memory don't seem to be under load, but I am not sure if there is something else in SQL that is causing it to hang under certain conditions.
There have been network analysts experts in to run scans on the network, but I have not had the results of this back yet. Other applications do not seem to be affected so if this analysis does not show up anything.
I have two servers (lets call them sA and sB) connected from sA -> sB via a linked server (i.e. sA pulls data across from sB).
I'm building a temp table full of stock symbols on sA, and then I need to update some values on sA using content on sB. The tables on sB are very large (about 500m rows) so I don't want to pull even close to everything across the linked server. Ordinarily I'd do this by joining to the linked server table, but the target table needs to have nolock on it due to their high use.
update t
set someValue = s.SomeValue
from #myTab t
inner join lnk_sB.xref.dbo.Symbols s with (nolock)
on t.id = s.id
From reading around I gather that nolock doesn't work across linked servers. It was noted in another SSC article that you could use nolock by using an OPENQUERY, but then I can't join to my local temp table, and I end up pulling all .5B rows across the linked server.
Is there some way I can limit the content on sB by my temp table on sA but still use nolock?

My problem is that each table contains additional values like art_amount, art_turnover etc... whereby the first table contains plan values while the second table contains actual values.
My goal is to get plan as well as the actual values in one row, how is that possible? If I put the values into each of the selects I get two rows, which is not the wished output.
Is it possible to join the tables after the union took place?
Thanks in advance!
