SQL Statement Select From One Table Where Not In Another Table
Jul 20, 2005
I have two tables with a 1-many relationship. I want to write a
select statement that looks in the table w/many records and compares
it to the records in the primary table to see if there are any records
that do not match based on a certain field.
I have two table with some identical fields and I am trying to populate one of the tables with a row that has been selected from the other table.Is there some standard code that I can use to take the selected row and input the data into the appropriate fields in the other table?
I'm trying to get the <Title> node value returned in the select statement below, but cant quite get it to work. I have the <ID> node being returned in the statement, but not the title. Any help is apprecited.

Hi,I'm trying to dynamically assign the table name for a SELECT statement but can't get it to work. Given below is my code: SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
CREATE PROCEDURE GetLastProjectNumber (@DeptCode varchar(20)) AS BEGIN TRANSACTION SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @ProjectNumber int SET @ProjectNumber = 'ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.','') SELECT MAX(@ProjectNumber) FROM 'tbl_ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.',''); END TRANSACTION Basically, I have a bunch of tables which were created dynamically using the code from this post and now I need to access the last row in a table that matches the supplied DeptCode. This is the error I get:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure GetLastProjectNumber, Line 29Incorrect syntax near 'tbl_ProjectNumber'. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.
I need to be able to take this information and display it in a data grid so that on each row I see the Member Number, First and Last Name and the In and Out Time.
I am not sure how to group the In and Out times together so that the query knows which time out corresponds to which time time for the member?
I would like to know if it is possible to do a SELECT statement where I can denormalize my table. I am not sure if it is needed to create a new table at first and insert denormalized values into the created table.
Example
Original table: ID XXX VALUES 1 a 10 1 b 15 1 c 8
And I want to use SELECT to get this table: ID a b c 1 10 15 8
I'm wondering if there is a single statement I can write to pull my data. Let's say my Order table has one field for userId and one field for supervisorId (among other fields) both of which are foreign keys into the Users table where their name, address, etc. are stored. What I'd like to do is to pull all the rows from Order and have a join that pulls the user name and supervisor name from the User table all in one go. Right now I pull all the Orders with just user name joined, and then go back over the objects to add the supervisor name as a separate query.
The reason I'd like to do this is to simplify the objects I'm passing to the GridView by doing a single fetch instead of multiples. I'm using SQL Server, .NET 2.0 and VS.NET 2005.
In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.
Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.
So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?
Example:
Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers
Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address
I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.
I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.
I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.
In SQL Server you can do a SELECT INTO to create a new table, much like CREAT TABLE AS in Oracle. I'm putting together a dynamic script that will create a table with the number of columns being the dynamic part of my script. Got any suggestions that come to mind?
Example:
I need to count the number of weeks between two dates, my columns in the table need to be at least one for every week returned in my query.
I'm thinking of getting a count of the number of weeks then building my column string comma separated then do my CREATE TABLE statement rather then the SELECT INTO... But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that using a variable that holds the string of column names. I'm guess the only way I can do this is via either VBScript or VB rather then from within the database.

I am wondering if there is a direct query in this case:
I am developing a program to a company which simply sells services One service may have different prices for different types of clients The price of any service for any client can change at any time, and I should be able to trace these changes at any time
I made the following tables (simplified): (asterisk for primary key)
anyone can help me? i using sp to select a select statement from a join table. due to the requirement, i need to group the data into monthly/weekly basic.
so i already collect the data for the month and use the case to make a new compute column in the selete statement call weekGroup. this is just a string showing "week 1", "week 2" .... "week 5".
so now i want to group the weekgroup and disply the average mark. so i need to insert all the record from the select statement into the temporary table and then use 2nd select statement to collect the new data in 5 record only. may i know how to make this posible?
I have 2 tables in a 1: n relation. How can i get a select statement that the field in the n-relation with outputs, separated by a semicolon; Example: One person have many Job Titles
Table1 (tblPerson) Table2 (tblTitles) 1, "John", "Miller", "Employee; Admin; Consultant" 2, "Joan", "Stevens", "Employee, Software Engineer, Consultant" and so on .... 1 in select statement:
SELECT SUM(PTR_QUANTITY) OVER (PARTITION BY PTR_SYMBOL ORDER BY PTR_DATE, PTR_SEQUENCE) AS 'ACUMULADO' FROM MPR_portfolio_transactions ORDER BY PTR_SYMBOL, PTR_DATE, PTR_SEQUENCE
This select statement generates one line per existing record. And what I would like to do next is to UPDATE the field 'PTR_ACUM' with the result of the 'ACUMULADO'
I basically want to select all GRNID's from one table but they have to be between dates in another table.So I want all GRN's between two dates found in the ABSPeriodEndDate table. To find out the start date for the between clause I need to find the MAX Period then minus 1 and the max year. To find the end date of the between clause I want I need to find both the max period and year. But I want the DateStamp column to return the results for the between clause. My query is below:
SELECT tblGRNItem.GRNID FROM tblGRNItem INNER JOIN ABSPeriodEndDates ON tblGRNItem.DateCreated = ABSPeriodEndDates.DateStamp WHERE tblGRNItem.DateCreated BETWEEN (SELECT ABSPeriodEndDates.DateStamp FROM ABSPeriodEndDates WHERE ABSPeriodEndDates.DateStamp = (SELECT
I am in doubt if its possible to make a select statement which enables me to consolidate multiple lines in the same table.
I have a table with a lot of companies and figures for each company.
Some of the companies owns some of the other companies in the table and in reverse, some of the companies are owned by some of the companies in the table.
I have a lot of columns, but basically the most important columns are:
Company Name, Company Mother , Company Daughter.
Each company has also a revenue column.
What I want to do is to consolidate all figures for absolute mothers e.i. companies which are not owned by another company in the list.
I therefore need a select statement which says something like:
Get the revenue of companies not owned by another company (e.i. absolute mother). Add to this, the revenue of all its daughters. Add to this the revenue of all the daughters daughters etc. until there are no daughters left.
In other words - aggregate the revenue for all the companies in the group under the name of the ultimate parent company.
I can easily select and add the revenue for the first level of direct daughters, but I dont know how many more daughters the daughters has etc.
Due to localization I have the need to make child tables, where there is a composite Primary Key, between the Id column and the LanguageSign column. On the parent table the Id column is Identity column with auto increment.
The problem is that during the select into query to copy columns from parent to child, this auto increment behaviour of the parent-Id is copied to the child-Id. However I do not want that, because the same Id will be used by different LanguageSign entries
Is there a way to use 'select into' without copying the auto increment, or is my only option to make a whole new column without auto increment on the child and copy the records? Â btw I have used this statement
SET IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable
ON , so that inserting into the Id column is possible. I can see however that this does not take away the auto increment...
I have a select statement running on the client machine linking to different tables in 1 database. All with the same schema. When I ran it, i had this error. I had trial and error, removing 1 table at a time until i hit the one which is causing it. when i removed it, everything's ok. i just wonder if all the tables were using dbo schema what is causing this particular table to throw this error?
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
Hey gang, I've got a query and I'm really not sure how to get what I need. I've got a unix datasource that I've setup a linked server for on my SQL database so I'm using Select * From OpenQuery(DataSource, 'Query') I am able to select all of the records from the first two tables that I need. The problem I'm having is the last step. I need a field in the select statement that is going to be a simple yes or no based off of if a customer number is present in a different table. The table that I need to look into can have up to 99 instances of the customer number. It's a "Note" table that stores a string, the customer number and the sequence number of the note. Obviously I don't want to do a straight join and query because I don't want to get 99 duplicates records in the query I'm already pulling. Here's my current Query this works fine: Select *From OpenQuery(UnixData, 'Select CPAREC.CustomerNo, CPBASC_All.CustorCompName, CPAREC.DateAdded, CPAREC.Terms, CPAREC.CreditLimit, CPAREC.PowerNum From CPAREC Inner Join CPBASC_All on CPAREC.CustomerNo = CPBASC_All.CustomerNo Where DateAdded >= #12/01/07# and DateAdded <= #12/31/07#') What I need to add is one more column to the results of this query that will let me know if the Customer number is found in a "Notes" table. This table has 3 fields CustomerNo, SequenceNo, Note. I don't want to join and select on customer number as the customer number maybe repeated as much as 99 times in the Notes table. I just need to know if a single instance of the customer number was found in that table so I can set a column in my select statement as NotesExist (Yes or No) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have a stored procedure that I have written that manipulates date fields in order to produce certain reports. I would like to add a column in the dataset that will be a join from another table (the table name is Periods).
USE [International_Forecast_New] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[GetOpenResult] Script Date: 01/07/2014 11:41:35 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
[Code] ....
What I need is to add the period, quarter and year to the dataset based on the "Store_Open" value.
For example Period 2 looks like this Period Quarter Year Period Start Period End 2 1 20142014-01-27 2014-02-23
So if the store_open value is 02/05/2014, it would populate Period 2, Quarter 1, Year 2014.
Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000
Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)
Set @Counter = 0
while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount begin Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter) set @Counter = @Counter + 1 end
Insert into @Type(Name) Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL Select 'Type: GMC'
Insert into @Source(Name) Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL Select 'Source: USA'
Insert into @Users(Name) Select 'keith' UNION ALL Select 'kevin' UNION ALL Select 'chris' UNION ALL Select 'chad' UNION ALL Select 'brian'
select 1 ProviderId, -- static value '' Identifier, '' ClassificationCode, (select TOP 1 Name from @Source order by newid()) Source, (select TOP 1 Name from @Type order by newid()) Type
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy
