c.Comment,
u.UserName AS ArticleAuthorName,
u.UserEmail AS ArticleAuthorEmail
FROM Articles a
INNER JOIN Users u ON a.AuthorID = u.UserID
INNER JOIN Comments c ON a.ArticleID = c.ArticleID

1. Comments table also have an AuthorId
So for each comment I also want to join to Users table and get
the author name and email. How can I do this?
2. I want to select all Articles even if it has comments or not.
Can I use Inner Join or should I use Left Join?

I have a table, productTable, that contains a ProductID column, a bunch of attribute columns like manufacturer etc, and a GroupID. Many different productIDs can share the same GroupID which means that they are basically the same product with one different attribute such as color. What I'm trying to do is select all the products in the TOP N GroupIDs. I'm using this to paginate my query results. I tried this which does not work:
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 10 * FROM productTable WHERE GroupID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT TOP 10 GroupID FROM productTable ORDER BY GroupID) ORDER BY GroupID
This returns the TOP 10 rows, but I would like all the ProductIDs for the TOP 10 GroupIDs

Hello,I have two tables, Articles and Comments, with the following columns:Articles - [ArticleId] (PK), [ArticleTitle], [ArticleText], [ArticlePubDate]Comments - [CommentId] (PK), [ArticleId] (FK), [CommentTitle], [CommentText]I need to display on a web page the articles published during the last week and their comments.What I need is:1. Get Articles (DONE) 2. Get Comments for each ArticleThe solution I see are:1. Create a Stored procedure that somehow outputs 2 tables: Articles and Comments associated with those articles2. Create 2 Stored procedures: The first one outputs the articles. The second output all comments given an article ID In this case, while the data is being displayed on the page it will load the comments for each article. The problem is that I will have many round trips to the server.I know how to use (2) but this would give me many round trips to the database.Could someone help me out with this?Thanks,Miguel

Hi world,Normally we receive the results of a query in several or thousands of rows. Select * From Clients-------------------------Row1. Client1Row2. Client2....Which is the the way to have everything on the same row separated by commas?Row1. Client1, Client2...thxDavid
I have a table, where one of the columns is the date/timestamp of when each row was inserted. I want to be able to extract the most recently inserted rows.
With Sybase (a not so distant cousin of MS SQL) the following works:
select * from TABLE having date = max(date)
With MS SQL, however, the same query does not work:
Column 'TABLE.date' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in an aggregate function and there is no GROUP BY clause.
I have table that I need to retrieve the top 2 records, the issue is I have 3 records with the same date, but I only want the first 2. Each record looks something like this.
I have to be able to add the series up of only the first two records for each id based on date. Here is a sample query
select sum(series), date from table group by date order by sum(series) desc
This gives me the total for all three and gives it to me in descending order. I need the records for set 1 and 2 of each of the Id. There are many records but the date and the setnr doesn't duplicate.
I have a table that stores records and each receord has a default logflag value of 0.Each time any record is changed,a new record is inserted with similar vaues but logflag flag remains 0.The original record that was modified will is kept but will have its log flag set to 1.
Now i want to display the two records in a report one on top of the other so that users can clearly see what chages were made for audit purposes.
How do i do my select statement so that for each record that was modified,the original one(logflag 1) is displayed and the new modified one(logflag 0 ) is also displayed just below it.
ie
id name email address city logflag modifieddate
23 rob rob@me.com oxford lane wolverton 1 20/6/2008
23 rob robe@me.com huge road burnside 0 null
The same should be done for all the modified records.
When a record is has not been modified,it should not be displayed by the select statement.
I am trying to write a script that will only insert records that do not exist to a local table. Whenever a form is changed, it keeps the same name, but a new record is created with a new ID. I need to be able to pull the new record by checking for ID's that are not on the local table, but using a form name to isolate. The nested select I am attempting is
select distinct qf.[eform_id] , qf.[name] , qf.[description] from [qfiniti].[qfiniti_platform].[dbo].[eval_forms] qf inner join FORMS_REF fr on qf.[name] collate database_default = fr.form_name collate database_default where not exists (select fr.eform_id from forms_ref fr inner join [qfiniti].[qfiniti_platform].[dbo].[eval_forms] qf on fr.eform_id = qf.eform_id);
It is outputting nothing, but I have intentionally deleted one form record to force it to show up.
CREATE TABLE #TestTable ( Pk INT, GroupID INT, Enabled BIT

I need to write a select query that will retrieve any GroupID in which every record has an Enabled value of 1.In the example I've provided, only GroupID 1 and 3 will be returned since GroupID 2 has a record with an Enabled value of 0.What would be the most efficient way to write such a query?

I currently use this query to select 4000 contacts from our database:
SELECT TOP 4000 * FROM wce_contact where website not like '' and expressemail like '%@%' and idstatus like '' and salutation not like '%there%' and task not like '%x%'
So I use this query to send out emails, then I want the next set of contacts, so I am obv after the contacts 4001 to 8000. How would I right this into the above query?
HiI'm using Access 2002. I have 2 tables tblGroupContact,tblGroupPermission, both have 2 fields identical structure:ContactID GroupID (Both are Composite keys and both hold integers)tblGroupContact holds everybody and the groups they are members of.tblGroupPermission holds only those people who have permission to makechanges to another part of the DB.The SQL at the end of post works, but opens a dialogue box looking fora parameter value 'query1.ContactID'Clicking enter or cancel (without entering anything) works OK.What have I done wrong to cause this parameter request.Thanks ColinKSELECT tblGroupContact.ContactID, tblGroupContact.GroupIDFROM tblGroupContact LEFT JOIN tblGroupPermission ON(tblGroupContact.ContactID = tblGroupPermission.ContactID) AND(tblGroupContact.GroupID = tblGroupPermission.GroupID)WHERE (((tblGroupPermission.ContactI*D) Is Null) AND((tblGroupPermission.GroupID) Is Null));
This seems so simple yet I can't figure it out.I have a table that has two important columns for this query.Column A has varcharColumn B is datetimeAll I want to do is select any record that is between 5:00 am and10:00 am regardless of what date it falls under.In my brain I seeSelect *From <table>Where B Between Like ‘%5%am' and Like ‘%10%am'This chokes and I suppose its because Between is literal and Like isvariable.I cant convert column B to just times because I still need to see thedate in the results of the query.Thanks in advance for help

I posted this question last night and thought I had an answer. I have a date field. I want to be able to filter records by the month of the date. To do this, I pass the integer of the month. But I also want to be able to return all the records if no month integer is passed. So functionally,select * from table where (MONTH([AD ENDS]) = @month)will return all records where [Ad Ends] is in January if @month = 1 and all records if @month is empty. The solution I got last night was to use select * from table where (MONTH([AD ENDS]) = ISNULL(@month, MONTH([AD ENDS]))) If @month is null, all records are returned. I was focused on another aspect of the page when this was posted. It worked in the designer, so I thought I was set. This morning I realized I don't know how to pass a null variable in a querystring. Since a querystring is a string, it probably can't be done. Another suggestions was to change this programmatically. But is there a way to do this in the dataset? I'm using SQL Server 2005, a strongly typed dataset and the designer.Diane The answer i got last night was to
