Select ROWS In Table A That Aren't In Table B

Jan 28, 2008

I've been scratching my head over this one.
It should be pretty easy to do, but I keep going over the same problem.

I have 3 tables (Suppliers, Categories & Suppliers_To_Categories).

Suppliers_To_Categories contains which suppliers are related to which categories.

The set-up is so (simplified):

Suppliers
id
1 Supplier 1
2 Supplier 2
3 Supplier 3
4 Supplier 4

Categories
id
1 Category A
2 Category B
3 Category C
4 Category D

Suppliers_To_Categories
id supplierId categoryId
1 1 1
1 1 2
1 1 3
2 2 3
3 3 1
3 3 3


What I am after is an SQL statement which tells me for a particular category, which suppliers ARE NOT related to it, so they can be assigned.
E.g.

Category D has Suppliers 1-4 unassigned
Category C has Supplier 4 unassigned
Category B has 2, 3, 4 unassigned
Category A has Supplier 2, 4 unassigned etc...

I've got the other side of the SQL statement which tells me which suppliers are assigned to a category (see below):
SELECT Suppliers.*
FROM CatToSupplier INNER JOIN
Suppliers ON CatToSupplier.supplierId = Suppliers.supplierId
WHERE (CatToSupplier.CatId = @CatId)

This is probably really easy, but I've become unstuck!

Select First N Rows Of Table

Mar 28, 2006

Let us say that I have a table with two sets of values as such:Item Extension--- ----100023 1100025 1100025 2100028 1100029 1100029 2100029 3[...]Note that a given item number can appear multiple times if it has morethan one extension number.I want to be able to select the first N entries as grouped by itemnumber. So if N = 3, that would return 100023, 100025 and 10028 withtheir associated extentions. I would also like to be able to selectsay, the 2nd through 9th entries grouped by item number.I've tried something like this to give me row counts:select rank = count(1), t1.item, t1.extensionfrom ItemTable t1 inner join itemTable t2on t1.item >= t2.itemgroup by t1.item, t1.extensionorder by rankBut that gives me this sort of result:Rank Item Extension---- --- ----1 100023 13 100025 13 100025 24 100028 17 100029 17 100029 27 100029 3[...]Any suggestions would be welcome.

Reports Rows Written But They Aren't

Oct 16, 2006

I have a 3 data flows with an oledb source, a script component and a sql server destination that reports success and that it wrote the rows to the table in question. However, the rows are not written to the SQL Server 2005 table that is the destination. I have many other data flows in the same package that work exactly the same way that insert the rows they should insert in the destination table.

An example of the message I get indicating success is as follows:

[DTS.Pipeline] Information: "component "SQL Server Destination" (75)" wrote 289 rows.

Has anyone else seen this behavior or have an idea what might be wrong? Why would the data flow report success when the rows were not, in fact, inserted in the destination table?

How To Create SELECT For Rows In Table

Oct 20, 2014

I have two db-tables:

"TAB01" with structure:

CREATE TABLE TAB01 (
ID int NOT NULL,
Name varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
)

It contains only name of some object.And "TAB02" with structure:

CREATE TABLE TAB02 (
ID int NOT NULL,
TAB01_ID int NOT NULL,
PositionA int,
PositionB int,
StringVal varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
)

which contains following data:

ID|TAB01_ID|PositionA|PositionB|StringVal|
1|1|1|1|A|
2|1|1|2|B|
3|1|1|3|C|

[code].....

and I need to find a sequence of values in column "StringVal", for example: A B.I look for a suitable SELECT, that returns (in this case) following result:

TAB02.ID|TAB01.Name|TAB02.PositionA|TAB02.PositionB|
1|ABC|1|1|
10|DEF|2|3|
25|JKL|4|3|
30|MNO|5|1|
36|MNO|5|7|
41|PQR|6|4|
46|STU|7|2|

Data inserted in "TAB02" represents real-life structure:

ID|Name|P01|P02|P03|...|Pxy|
1|ABC|A|B|C|D|E|A|D|
2|DEF|J|K|A|B|F|F|B|
3|GHI|B|A|C|A|F|G|A|F|
4|JKL|F|E|A|B|B|E|E|
5|MNO|A|B|C|B|A|D|A|B|
6|PQR|D|E|F|A|B|A|F|
7|STU|A|A|B|B|E|B|E|

Select Rows Once That Do Not Exist Twice In Same Table

Dec 6, 2007



Hi,

I have a table of row IDs, order numbers, and status. Status is a value of 1 or 2. Some rows only exist as a 1, some only as a 2, and some exist twice -- once as 1 and once as 2. I want to select orders that are 2 as well as rows that are 1 but do not also exist in the table as 2. Ultimately I will only see each order number once. Is there a better/faster way than doing multiple selects and comparing them to each other?

Example data:

RowID OrderNum Status
1 101 1
2 102 1
3 102 2
4 103 2

Desired results when selecting ID and ordernum from that table:
1 101
3 102
4 103

Thanks.

SQL Server 2012 :: Select Rows With Sum Of Column From Joined Table?

I want to return all rows in table giftregistryitems with an additional column that holds the sum of column `amount` in table giftregistrypurchases for the respective item in table giftregistryitems.

What I tried, but what returns NULL for purchasedamount:

LEFT JOIN giftregistrypurchases gp on gp.registryid=gi.id
WHERE gi.registryid=2

How can I achieve what I need?

Select Multiple Rows Based On Date Interval From Table

Apr 7, 2015

I have a table in which each record has a initial date and a final date. I would like to create I query that gives me one row for each month between the initial date and the final date. It would be something like this:

Original:

Product|price|initial_date|final_date
A|20.50|2014-08-10|2014-10-01
B|50|2015-01-15|2015-02-20

Resulting view:

A|20.5|2014-08-01
A|20.5|2014-09-01
A|20.5|2014-10-01
B|50|2015-01-01
B|50|2015-02-01

I would like to do that, because these dates correspond to the time in which the products are in possession of sellers, so I would to use this resulting query to generate a pivot chart in Excel to illustrate the value of the goods that are with our sellers in each month.

Is it possible to do it? I think I could do that direct in VBA, but I think that maybe it would be faster if I could do it directly in SQL.

By the way, I am using MS SQL Server and SQL Server Manegement Studio 2012.

Transact SQL :: Select 1000 Rows At A Time From / Into A Large Temp Table?

May 12, 2015

I am using SQL SERVER 2008R2, not Denali, so I cannot use OFFSET FETCH Clause.

In my stored procedure, I am doing a SELECT INTO #tblTemp FROM... Working fine. This resultset is going to be used in an SSIS package which will generate a pipe-delimited .txt file... Working fine.

For recoverability sake, I am trying to throttle back on the commit chunks to 1000 rows per commit until there are no more rows. I am trying to avoid large rollbacks.

Q: Am I supposed to handle the transactions (begin/commit/rollback/end trans) when the records are being inserted into the temp table? Or when they are being selected form the temp table?

Q: Or can I handle this in my SSIS package for a flat file destination? I don't see option for a flat file destination like I do for an OLE DB Destination (like Rows per batch, Maximum insert commit size).

Default Table Owner Using CREATE TABLE, INSERT, SELECT && DROP TABLE

Nov 21, 2006

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.

SQL Server 2012 :: Insert Multiple Rows In A Table With A Single Select Statement?

Feb 12, 2014

I have created a trigger that is set off every time a new item has been added to TableA.The trigger then inserts 4 rows into TableB that contains two columns (item, task type).

Each row will have the same item, but with a different task type.ie.

TableA.item, 'Planning'
TableA.item, 'Design'
TableA.item, 'Program'
TableA.item, 'Production'

How can I do this with tSQL using a single select statement?

Declaring A Table Variable Within A Select Table Joined To Other Select Tables In Query

Oct 15, 2007

Hello,

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



Select * from

(

declare @years table (years int);

insert into @years

select

CASE

WHEN month(getdate()) in (1) THEN year(getdate())-1

WHEN month(getdate()) in (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) THEN year(getdate())

END

select

u.fullname

, sum(tx.Dm_Time) LastMonthBillhours

, sum(tx.Dm_Time)/((select dm_billabledays from dm_billabledays where Dm_Month = Month(GetDate()))*8) lasmosbillingpercentage

from

Dm_TimeEntry tx

join

systemuserbase u

on

(tx.owninguser = u.systemuserid)

where

Month(tx.Dm_Date) = Month(getdate())-1

and

year(dm_date) = (select years from @years)

and tx.dm_billable = 1

group by u.fullname

) as A

left outer join

I'm talking about three times slower using the Select MyField sintax.

SQL Call To Count The Total Rows In Table B For Each User In Table A

UserC              dsafasc
UserA              sdf
UserB              dfvr4
 
I want to count the total entries in Table B for every user in Table A.  The output would be:
 
Name               Count
UserA              2
UserB              3
UserC              1
 
I can use a Select Count statement, but I will have to make a SQL call for every user in Table A.  Also, Table A is dynamic, so the users are always changing.  Can this be incorporated into one SQL call to count the total rows in Table B for each user in Table A?

All fields are of Integer Type.

I need to write a stored procedure in sql 2000 which works as follows:

Select all the NewID and OldID from the Category Table

Then the query for each row should be..

UPDATE Link SET CategoryID=@CID WHERE CategoryID=@OID

Please help me with the code.

Transact SQL :: How To Select Rows From Table Where DATE Column Is Today's Date

Aug 31, 2015

So my data column [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is defined as a DATE column. I am trying to SELECT from my table where [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is today's date.

SELECT*
FROM[dbo].[EODPosting]
WHERE[EODPosting].[MatchDate]=GETDATE()

Is this not working because GETDATE() is like a timestamp format? How can I get this to work to return those rows where [EODPosting].[MatchDate] is equal to today's date?

Delete Rows In One Table By Referencing Another Table Info

Sep 16, 2004

I have one table that has unique id's associated with each row of information. I want to delete rows of information in one table that have a unique ID that references information in another table.

Here is a basic breakdown of what I am trying to do:

Table1 (the table where the rows need to be deleted from)
Column_x (Holds the id that is unique to the various rows of data - User ID)

Table2 (Holds the user information & has the associated ID)
Column_z (holds the User ID)

I tried this on a test set of tables and could not get it to work. What I am trying to do is skip all rows of Table1 that have ID's present in Table2, and delete the rows of ID's that are not present in Table2.

Code:


SELECT Column_z
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z <> Column_x


This did not seem to do what I needed, it did not delete any rows at all.

I wanted it to delete all rows in Table1 that did not have a reference to a user ID that matched any ID's in Column_z of Table2

Then I tried another scenerio that I also needed to do:

Code:


SELECT Column_z, Column_a
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z = Column_x AND Column_a='0'



'0' being the user id is inactive so I wanted to delete rows in Table1 and remove all references to users that were in an inactive status in Table2.

Neither one of the Queries wanted to work for me in the Query Analyzer when I ran them. It just said (0) rows affected.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?
