I'm joining several tables and when I add the last one I get duplicate results. How can I get just one for each?
select a.field, b.field, c.field
from atblname as a inner join btblname as b on a.id = b.parent_id
left outer join ctblname as c on a.id = c.parent_id
There are more than one result when joining tbl a and c, but I'm getting a reult for each of them for all results from joining a and b.
My basic situation is this - I ONLY want duplicates, so the oppositeof DISTINCT:I have two tables. Ordinarily, Table1ColumnA corresponds in a one toone ratio with Table2ColumnB through a shared variable. So if I queryTableB using the shared variable, there really should only be onrecord returned. In essence, if I run this and return TWO rows, it isvery bad:select * from TableB where SharedVariable = 1234I know how to join the tables on a single record to see if this is thecase with one record, but I need to find out how many, among possiblymillions of records this affects.Every record in Table1ColumnA (and also the shared variable) will beunique. There is another column in Table1 (I'll call itTable1ColumnC) that will be duplicated if the record in Table2 is aduplicate, so I am trying to use that to filter my results in Table1.I am looking to see how many from Table1 map to DUPLICATE instances inTable2.I need to be able to say, in effect, "how many unique records inTable1ColumnA that have a duplicate in Table1ColumnC also have aduplicate in Table2ColumnB?"Thanks if anyone can help!-- aknoch
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to join two tables and looks like the data is messed up. I want to split the rows into columns as there is more than one value in the row. But somehow I don't see a pattern in here to split the rows.
This how the data is
Create Table #Sample (Numbers Varchar(MAX))
Insert INTO #Sample Values('1000')
Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1024 AND 1025')
Insert INTO #Sample Values ('109 ,110,111')
Insert INTO #Sample Values ('Old # 1033 replaced with new Invoice # 1544')
Insert INTO #Sample Values ('1355 Cancelled and Invoice 1922 added')
Select * from #Sample
This is what is expected...
Create Table #Result (Numbers Varchar(MAX))
Insert INTO #Result Values('1000')
Insert INTO #Result Values ('1024')
Insert INTO #Result Values ('1025')
Insert INTO #Result Values ('109')
Insert INTO #Result Values ('110')
[Code] ....
How I can implement this ? I believe if there are any numbers I need to split into two columns .
I am working with a bunch of records that have duplicates on the Persid and the intPercentID where there are duplicates I want to remove when I stick them in the temp table, I tried join on tempo table and doing not exists but still inserts, so now I am trying a merge but same thing. how can I keep duplicates from being inserted in the temp table. I made a cursor as well but its slow as heck, but it does work. trying better ways.
Create table #TempStr (STRId int not null Identity(1,1) primary key, Persid int, percentId int, dtCreated datetime, CreatedBy int)
Create table #NewStr (STRId int, Persid int, percentId int, dtCreated datetime, CreatedBy int)
INSERT #TempStr (Persid, percentId, dtCreated, CreatedBy)
select intPersonnelID, intPercentID, dtSubmitted, intSubmittedBy from tblSTR
whereintpercentId in (61,62) group by intPercentID, intPersonnelID, dtSubmitted, intSubmittedBy

We have the below query which is pulling in Sales and Revenue information. Since the sale is recorded in just one month and the revenue is recorded each month, we need to have the results of this query to only list the Sales amount once, but still have all the other revenue amounts listed for each month. In this example, the sale is record in year 2014 and month 10, but there are revenues in every month as well for the rest of 2014 and the start of 2015 but we only want to the sales amount to appear once on this results set.

I have three tables
1st table is Student
StudnetID (pk)
Other fields…
2nd table is PhoneType
PhoneTypeID (pk)
PhoneType
3rd table is StudentHasPhone
SHPID (pk)
StudnetID (fk)
PhoneTypeID (fk)
PhoneNumber
PhoneType is an auxiliary table that has 5 records in it Home phone, Cell phone, Work phone, Pager, and Fax. Is there a way to do a join or maybe make a view of a view that would allow me to ultimately end up with…
StudnetID: 1
Name: John
HomePhone: 123-456-7890
WorkPhone: 123-456-7890
CellPhone:
Pager: 123-456-7890
Fax:
Memo: This is one student record.
Some students will have no phone number, some will have all 5 most will have one or two. If possible I would like to do a setup like this in my database to keep from having to have null fields for 4 phone numbers that the majority of records won’t have.
Thanks in advanced,

Hi,
This seems like a basic problem but I can't figure out how to resolve it.
I have a query :
SELECT PR.WBS2, SUM(LedgerAR.Amount * - 1) AS Expr5, LB.AmtBud AS budget
FROM PR LEFT OUTER JOIN
LedgerAR ON PR.WBS1 = LedgerAR.WBS1 AND PR.WBS2 = LedgerAR.WBS2 AND LedgerAR.WBS3 = PR.WBS3 LEFT OUTER JOIN
LB ON LB.WBS1 = PR.WBS1 AND LB.WBS2 = PR.WBS2 AND PR.WBS3 = LB.WBS3
WHERE (PR.WBS2 <> '9001') AND (PR.WBS2 <> 'zzz') AND (PR.WBS2 <> '98') AND (PR.WBS3 <> 'zzz') AND (PR.WBS2 <> '') AND (PR.WBS1 = '001-298')
GROUP BY PR.WBS2, LB.AmtBud
ORDER BY PR.WBS2
The output of the above query:
WBS2Expr5budget
0141
0141953000
0143
121724540
1217500

So as a result I am getting 9000 where wbs2 = '0141'
I figure that in my top query I am not joining something correctly. Could someone point out what I am doing wrong?

I have two tables a and b, where I want to add columns from b to a with a criteria. The columns will be added by month criteria. There is a column in b table called stat_month which ranges from 1 (Jan) to 12 (Dec). I want to keep all the records in a, and join columns from b for each month. I do not want to loose any row from a if there is no data for that row in b.
Here is table a:
CREATE TABLE #A(
naics INT,
ust_code INT,
port INT,
all_qty_1_yr FLOAT,
[Code] ....
And here is table b:
CREATE TABLE #B(
naics INT,
ust_code INT,
port INT,
stat_month INT,
Cum_qty_1_mo FLOAT,
[Code] ....
I do not know how to have the multiple joins for 12 different months and what join I have to use. I used left join but still I am loosing not all but few rows in a, I would also like to know how in one script I can columns separately from stat_mont =’01’ to stat_month =’12’
/****** Script for SelectTopNRows command from SSMS ******/
SELECT a.[naics]
,a.[ust_code]
,a.[port]
,a.[all_qty_1_yr]
,a.[all_qty_2_yr]
[Code] ....
output should have all columns from a and join columns from b when the months = '01' (for Jan) , '02' (for FEB), ...'12' (for Dec): Output table should be something like
* columns from a AND JAN_Cum_qty_1_mo JAN_Cum_qty_2_mo JAN_Cum_all_val_mo JAN_Cum_air_val_mo JAN_Cum_air_wgt_mo JAN_Cum_ves_val_mo FEB_Cum_qty_1_mo FEB_Cum_qty_2_mo FEB_Cum_all_val_mo FEB_Cum_air_val_mo FEB_Cum_air_wgt_mo FEB_Cum_ves_val_mo .....DEC_Cum_qty_1_mo DEC_Cum_qty_2_mo DEC_Cum_all_val_mo DEC_Cum_air_val_mo DEC_Cum_air_wgt_mo DEC_Cum_ves_val_mo (FROM TABLE b)
I have a straight-forward select query to show work orders for a particular customer as below. I want to add a field value from another table, deltickitem diwhich contains contract records. I need to include the field di.weekchg to show the weekly hire rate, but the joined query must ensure that the both the contract number matches that in the original select and that the item number matches that in the actual select. Additionally, there is the problem that the item can appear more than once in the deltickitem table against a particular contract (if item has been off-hired and then re-hired on the same contract number) - in this case the query must select the record with the highest di.counter number, which I haven't worked out how to put in my query.
This is my basic code, but I keep ending up with duplicate work order lines in my result set.
Select wh.worknumber, wh.custnum, wh.contract, wh.sitename, wh.itemcode, wh.regnum, m.name, di.weekchg,
wh.date_created, wh.task_descr, wh.actual_labour_sale+wh.actual_parts_sale as [Repair Cost]
From worksorderhdr wh Left Join
inventory iv On iv.item = wh.itemcode inner Join
models m On m.id = iv.model_id left join deltickitem di on di.dticket = wh.contract

Hi,
I have a tbl called BANK.
This shows a banking history of transactions and includes a field called TransType and a field called PaymentID.
I also have two other tables called Suppliers and SubContractors.
For each record in the bank, I need to match up a record in either the suppliers or subcontractors tbl based on the PaymentID value. I know if the record relates to either a Supplier or Subcontractor based on the value of the TransType field which will be either SUPPLIER or SUBCONTRACTOR or Null (in which case a match doesn't matter)
I have a working query based on joining just the Supplier tbl.. but how do I do the join to the other tbl aswell?
So overall, for each record in the bank, if the transtype is SUPPLIER I need to look in the supplier tbl for a match for that paymentID, and if the transtype is SUBCONTRACTOR, I need to do the same but in SUBCONTRACTOR tbl.
How would I best write that?
thanks for any help!
Hi
I currently have two tables called Book and JournalPaper, both of which have a column called Publisher. Currently the data in the Publisher column is the Publisher name that is entered straight into either table and has been duplicated in many cases. To tidy this up I have created a new table called Publisher where each entry will have a unique ID.
I now want to remove the Publisher columns from Book and JournalPaper, replace it with an ID foreign key column and move the Publisher name data into the Publisher table. Is there a way I can do this without duplicating the data as some publishers appear several times on both tables?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as my limited SQL is not up to this particular challenge!!!
Thanks!

[MostPopularName] is [PersonNames.PopularVotes DESC].[NameSearch] combines all records from [PersonNames.PersonName] and [AltNames.AltNames].

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"c.user_id as user_id, ".
"u.name as name, ".
"r.age as age ".
"from #__comprofiler as c ".
"left join #__users as u on c.user_id = u.id ".
"left join #__rnr_contest as r on c.user_id = r.userid ".
"where (r.age != chicken) and (r.age != nystrip) and (r.age != regrets) and (u.block = 0) and (c.cb_contactmethod LIKE '%Email%') and (u.usertype != 'Super Administrator') and (u.email != 'please@change.com') and (u.username != 'guest') and (u.username != 'piedmont') ".
"order by email"
anyone see why? It tells me that "chicken" is not a column which is weird because I don't think it's listed as a column in my query... is it?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have multiple xml data file in a directory say C:XMLData abc1.xml, abc2.xml, abc3.xml etc.
Need to loop through each file in ssis with Foreach loop container, and get the file name say abc1, and load the data of abc1.xml to abc1 table in sql server DB.
Next iteration will pick up the abc2.xml and find the abc2 table in sql server DB then insert the data in abc2 table.
While each iteration, xml source should also point each xsd file correspondingly.

I have four tables:
a, b, c and d
table a is related to table b by a foreign key. table b is related to c and so on.
I used the sql statement below to join the tables:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT a.colum1, a.column2,
b.column, c.column, d.column FROM a
JOIN b ON a.pkey = b.foreign key
JOIN c ON b.pkey = c.fkey
JOIN d ON c.pkey = d.fkey ")

Two tables:T1 (c1 int, TestVal numeric(18,2), ResultFactor numeric(18,2))--c1 isthe primary key.T2 (x1 int, FromVal numeric(18,2), ToVal numeric(18,2), Factornumeric(18,2))--x1 is the primary key. T2 contains non-overlappingvalues. So for eg., a few rows in T2 may look like.1, 51, 51.999, 512, 52, 52.999, 52........32, 82, 82.999, 82........T2 is basically a lookup table. There is no relationship between thetwo tables T1 and T2. However, if the TestVal from T1 falls in therange between FromVal and ToVal in T2, then I want to updateResultFactor in T1 with the corresponding value of Factor from the T2table.------Example for illustration only---------------Even though tables cannot be joined using keys, the above problem is avery common one in our everyday life. For example T1 could beemployees PayRaise table, c1=EmployeeID, with "TestVal" representingtest scores (from 1 to 100). T2 representing lookup of the ranges,with "Factor" representing percent raise to be given to the employee.If TestVal is 65 (employee scored 65% in a test), and a row in T2(FromVal=60, ToVal=70, Factor=12), then I would like to update 12 intable T1 from T2 using sql;. Basically T2 (like a global table)applies to all the employees, so EmpID cannot serve as a key in T2.---------------------------------------------------------Could anyone suggest how I would solve MY PROBLEM using sql?

In database DB1, I have table DB1.dbo.Suppliers1. This table has an ID column of type INT named SUPPL1_ID
In database DB2, I have table DB2.dbo.Suppliers2. This table has an ID column of type INT named SUPPL2_ID
I would like to update DB2.dbo.Suppliers2 based on values from DB1.dbo.Suppliers1 joining on SUPPL1_ID = SUPPL2_ID.
How can I do this in SSIS?
Assumptions:
linked servers are not an option, as I want the SSIS package to be portable and not dependent on server environments.
TIA.

I am learning the Optimizer from the book "Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012" for certificate exam 70-461. I really cannot understand how it explains the number of possible ways to execute a query joining three tables. the pseudo-query is:
SELECT A.col5, SUM(C.col6) AS col6sum
FROM TableA AS A
INNER JOIN TableB AS B
ON A.col1 = B.col1
INNER JOIN TableC AS C
ON B.col2 = c.col2
WHERE A.col3 = constant 1
AND B.col4 = constant2
GROUP BY A.col5;
The book says:"Start with the FROM part. Which tables should SQL Server join first, TableA and TableB or TableB and TableC? And in each join, which of the two tables joined should be the left and which one the right table? The number of all possibilities is six, if the two joins are evaluated linearly, one after another."
Q1: How could it be six possibilities? From my understanding, lets say, if the SQL Server has to join A and B first, and then join C, in this case I can think of 4 possibilities, which are:
1. When A Join B, Left: A, Right: B.
When Join C, Left: result of A join B, Right: C
2. When A Join B, nbsp;
When Join C, nbsp;When A Join B, nbsp;
When Join C, nbsp;When A Join B, nbsp;
When Join C, "line-height:13.5px;">
Q2: The section following the previous question says there are 4 different types of join.."This already gives four options for each join. So far, there are 6 x 4 = 24 different options for only the FROM part of this query."
How can it be 6 x 4? My understanding is 4 is only for 1 join, but in our case, there are 2 joins, so it should be 6 x 4 x 4.

SELECT t.FromUserID, t.ToUserID, t.msg, u.UserName AS UserFrom,
u.GroupID AS FromGroup, u2.UserName AS UserTo, u2.GroupID AS ToGroup
FROM tmp_Messages t
LEFT JOIN (SELECT UserID, GroupID, UserName FROM tmp_users WHERE GroupID = 3) u
[Code] .....
im missing the details of one of the users.I know what the problem is, I just cant figure out how to get this working without using temp tables, which I cant do in the production version.
do you have a general rule of thumb for breaking a complex query into temp tables? For someone who is not a sql specialist, a query with more than a few table joins can be complex. So a query with 10+ table joins can be overwhelming for someone who is not a sql specialist.
One strategy is to break a problem into pieces so to speak by grouping together closely related tables into temp tables and then joining those temp tables together. This simplifies complex SQL and although not as performant as one big query it's much easier to understand. So do you have a general rule of thumb as far as a threshold for the number of joins you include in a query before you break the query into temp tables?
We currently have an application whereby the user will come along sign up add some information about them, choose what interests / hobbies they're in to and then click save.After completing the sigh up they're able to search for other individuals within locations (look at this functionality as a dating site) We currently have a stored procedure whereby when the user clicks Advance Search they fill in all the fields they filled in when signing up and when they click search we return all users that match the data the user has selected. This part is working correctly.
The issue im having is extending this stored procedure to take a user defined table type which has two columns UserId and ActivityId both columns are nullable.This user defined table type is referred to in two places, when the user signs up and when they do an advance search.When the user does an advance search he / she can choose a list of hobbies / interests this will then be passed in to the database and I will join on my User_Activities table to find the users that have the Activities passed in.When I join on this table I get duplicate records purely because one user may have 5 - 10 activities depending on how active the individual is. My current stored procedure looks like this
@Ambition int = null,
@Body int = null,
@Diet int = null,
@Drinking int = null,
@Ethnicity int = null,
@Exercise int = null,
@HeightFrom int = null,
[code]...
So my question is how can I select all users that match the criteria passed in, as well as finding the users that match the activities passed in (the user can either match all of them or a minimum of 1). Also my User_Activities has two columns UserId and ActivityId identical to the user defined table type
I am having a main table and temptable.
Every sunday, new data will be loaded from temptable to main table. I have to make sure that, duplicates does not get loaded from temptable to maintable.
For example, if last sunday a record gets loaded from temp to main. If this sunday also the same record is present then it means that is a duplicate.
The duplicate is decided on below scenario
select 'CodeChanges: ', count(*) from CodeChanges a, CodeChanges_Temp b
where a.AccountNumber = b.AccountNumber and
a.HexaNumber = b.HexaNumber and
a.HexaEffDate = b.HexaEffDate and
a.HexaId = b.HexaId and
[Code] ...
Yesterday (Sunday) , data from temp got loaded onto maintable but with duplicates.
There is a log which just displays number of duplicates.
Yesterday the log displayed 8 duplicates found. I need to find out the 8 duplicates which got loaded yesterday and delete it off from main table.
There is a column in both tables which is 'creation date and time'. Every Sunday when the load happens this column will have that day's date .
Now i need to find out what are all the duplicates which got loaded on this sunday.
The total rows in temp table is : 363
No of duplicates present is : 8
I used below query to find out the duplicates but it is returning all the 363 rows from the maintable instead of the 8 duplicates.
Select 'CodeChanges: ', * from CodeChanges a where
exists
( Select 1 from CodeChanges_Temp b where
a.HexaNumber = b.HexaNumber and
a.HexaEffDate = b.HexaEffDate and
[Code] ...
Need finding the duplicate records which has creation date time as '2015-11-01 00:00:00.000' and all the above columns mentioned in the query matches.
Example
Few colums only metioned below
creationdateandtime HexaNumber HexaCode
1. 1987-10-01 00:00:00.000 5 3
2. 2015-11-01 00:00:00.000 5 3
So here the second record is duplicate. This is what I am trying to find.
With merge/insert statements ...Is DISTINCT best way to handle problem of source table containing duplicate rows, along with WHERE NOT IN statement? the source dataset is large and having to do DISTINCT and further filtering is taxing on the ETL.
DDL
source table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[source](
[Product_ID] [INT] NOT NULL,
[ProductCode] [VARCHAR](20) NULL,
[ProductName] [VARCHAR](100) NULL,
[ProductColor] [VARCHAR](20) NULL,

Hi,
I am running the follwing query to select data from a local and linked
server using a right outer join as follows and get the error message
shown below the query. How can this be corrected please? sg_q5 is local
and sg_qt1 is defined as a linked server on sg_q5. Non join direct
select commnads from sg_Q5 on the linked server works fine.
>>
Query :
Select name
from sysobjects RIGHT OUTER JOIN sg_qt1.globaldb.dbo.sysobjects
ON sysobjects.dbo.Name = sg_qt1.globaldb.dbo.sysobjects.name
where type = 'u' and name <> 'dtproperties' and name <> 'Rowcounts'
Error Message:
Server: Msg 117, Level 15, State 2, Line 4
The number name 'sg_qt1.globaldb.dbo.sysobjects' contains more than
the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 3.

Thanks.

I am trying to run an update statement against a vendor's database that houses HR information. If I run a regular select statement against the database with the following query, it returns without error:
SELECT "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT", "NAME"."INTERNET-ADDRESS", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID", "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID"
FROM "SKYWARD"."PUB"."NAME" "NAME", "SKYWARD"."PUB"."QUDDAT-DATA" "QUDDAT_DATA"
WHERE ("NAME"."NAME-ID"="QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-SRC-ID") AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDTBL-TABLE-ID"=0 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDFLD-FIELD-ID"=16 AND "QUDDAT_DATA"."QUDDAT-INT"=11237When I try to convert it into an
[Code] ....
I am assuming I am receiving this error because it doesn't know where to find QUDDAT-INT? How can I fix that?
The "QUDDAT-INT" column houses the employee number. So in the case of the SELECT query above, I am testing against a specific employee number.
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.
We have a report that was created in SSRS 2008 R2 that has 3 tables with different datasets that share a common ID that I want to use to group them.
If we run the report passing only a single value for the grouped parameter then the report works perfectly. What we need is for this report to allow multiple values to be selected for this parameter and for the report to run as if the user had selected each value one at a time and run the report with page breaks in between. Currently, when we pass multiple selected values for the grouping parameter the report displays all values for table 1, then all values for table 2, then all values for table three as below:
Table 1:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1 ...
Detail rows for Group Param Value 2 ...
Detail rows for Group Param Value 3 ...
....
Table 3:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1 ...
Detail rows for Group Param Value 2 ...
Detail rows for Group Param Value 3 ...
But we want it to render like this:
Table 1:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1...
Table 2:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1...
Table 3:
Detail rows for Group Param Value 1...
[code]....
The page breaks are needed so that when the report is exported to excel each individual report (by group param) will be on its own uniquely named tab.The report must export cleanly to excel and currently does for the single value passed.
I need to update multiple columns in a table with multiple condition.
For example, this is my Query
update Table1
set weight= d.weight,
stateweight=d.stateweight,
overallweight=d.overallweight
from
(select * from table2)d
where table1.state=d.state and
table1.month=d.month and
table1.year=d.year
If table matches all the three column (State,month,year), it should update only weight column and if it matches(state ,year) it should update only the stateweight column and if it matches(year) it should update only the overallweight column
I can't write an update query for each condition separately because its a huge select
