Selecting Only Those Records Which Are In Another Table
May 25, 2005
i need to select records from table "A" if only the "PK" of "A" exists in table "B". I need to return a resultset not just a single record. The problem is table "B" is not a table in database instead a user supplied table which can be a datatable in memory.
Table2 contains fields Group, Name,Category, Dimension (Group and Name are not in Table1)
So basically I need to read the records in Table1 using Groupid and each time there is a Groupid then select records from Table2 where Table2.Category in (Select Catergory from Table1) and Table2.Dimension in (Select Dimension from Table1)
In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.
Hi, my sql is not too hot so i hope someone can help me. I need to select all the records from one table that do not exist in 2 other tables. I know it sounds simple enough but for some reason i can not get it working. It may have something to do with the fact that the field i am searching on are datetime fields. Here is a shortened version of my code.
SELECT DateOfStats FROM table1 WHERE (DateOfStats NOT IN (SELECT dateofstats FROM table2)) and (DateOfStats NOT IN (SELECT dateofstats FROM table3))
Hello everyone,Small and (I think) very simple quesiton;-) which makes me creazy.Let's say I have two tables listed below:T1====IDX====134T2===============IDD fk_IDX===============A1A2A4B1B3B4C4D1D2D3D4I would like to select from table T2 all distinct records IDD whichhave all of fk_IDX containded in T1.The select statement should return in this case ONLY:B and Dbecasue:B has 1,3,4andD has 1,2,3,4 so it has this combination 1,3,4 contained in the T1also.I've tried to do that with group by, with having, in and it neverworks (I always became all records which one of them is in this T1table).Maybe some one from you did try something like that, and can give afast answer.I will be very greatfullGreatingsMateusz
Godwin writes "Hello, Heres my question.. I have 2 tables.2 paticular columns exist in both the tables. I want to be able to select those 2 columns on the 1st table and insert them on to the same 2 columns on the 2nd table.
Now,this 2nd table has another 3 columns that exist in another table.I would like to take those 3 column values from that 3rd table and insert it into the 2nd table by modifying those existing records in the 2nd table.In the 3rd table,there will be around 5 records...I want to copy the existing records 5 times in the 2nd table and insert the 3rd tables rows inside the 2nd table in that respective column for 5 rows.
I hope you understand what I mean...Im sorry for really confusing.. Please help me Thanks Godwin"
Hi All,Sorry if the subject line is too obscure -- I couldn't think of a wayof describing this request.I have a table that contains approximately 1 million records.I want to be able to be able to select the top x records out of thistable matching variable criteria.Pseudo table records:custid, category, segment1,1,12,1,13,1,14,1,15,1,26,1,27,1,28,1,29,2,110,2,111,2,112,2,113,2,214,2,215,2,216,2,217,2,318,2,319,2,320,2,3So, what I'm trying to do is return a recordset, for example, thatcontains the top 2 of each variation of category and segment.ie:1,1,12,1,15,1,26,1,29,2,110,2,113,2,214,2,217,2,318,2,3The only way I can think to achieve this is in a while statement,performing individual selects against each combination, feeding thewhere criteria by variables that I automatically increment.I can't help thinking there's a much more graceful way of achievingthis?If anyone can give me any insight into this I'd be incrediblyappreciative!Many thanks in advance!Much warmth,Murray
I have a database which has a field called fldTimes. basically this field records the number of hits a file gets. How can I choose the most 5 popular files with the greatest hits. Thanks
This might be a simple question. I have a LIKE statement that is working fine, however I am not sure if something else is possible.
I can pull all records on a query for a person's name with a parameter value of "MARTIN". It will also pull records for "LYNN MARTIN". However, what if I would like to have that search also pull "LYNN M MARTIN"? Currently "LYNN MARTIN" is not finding "LYNN M MARTIN".
When the end user wants to search on LYNN MARTIN and that is what they input, I want SQL to find all records that match LYNN MARTIN and also find records that HAVE LYNN % MARTIN.
I hope this make sense? I guess I need to build my select statement using a WHERE LIKE statement, but I am not sure of the syntax.
Hi, I'm just wondering if someone can help me with some SQL syntax stuff.I want to take this sql statement: "SELECT TOP 50 tblProfile.chName, tblProfile.intCount FROM tblProfile, tblLinks WHERE (tblLinks.MemberID = tblProfile.MemberID) ORDER BY tblLinks.dtDateAdded DESC;" and select only unique "chName's" records
Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have a SQL Server Table wtih approximately 100,000 records. I need to determine if there are duplicate records in this table. My probelm is that there is a unique ID column that was added for each row, so I'm not exactly sure how to filter the rows. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a reviews table where all reviews are submitted. On the main page I want to display the 10 most reviewed products. I have a Product_ID column in this table which identifys the product. How can i write a query which will select the product_ID of records which have the most frequent product_ID's?
I came up with something like this: "Select Top 10 Product_ID, COUNT(*) AS Occurances FROM reviews GROUP BY Product_ID ORDER BY occurances DESC"
But it does not work.?? It says "Declaration expected" as error
What I need is the start and end time of each task, but the issue is there is no unique task number to bind them together.. So for instance the task starts with 'Open-Submitted' and ends with 'Task Approved'. The issue is there can be multiple occurrences in the same file number. I need to be able to split these into multiple tasks with the associated start and stop times.

I am trying to create a select query similar to the following but the problem I am having is that I want to only select one record where there may be several with the same dw_order_no. I have tried various ways using SQL developer but without success
SELECT VE_EZP_ORDER_TRANS.EZP_BILL_STATUS AS EZP_BILL_STATUS1, VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.SURNAME, VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.DEBT_AGE_CATEGORY, VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.DEBT_AGE, VE_ORDERLINE.DW_ORDER_NO,
Is there a way to see a list of duplicate records?? EG There is a field named "Invoice" in a table named "Orders" and I want to see only records where the same invoice shows more than once.
Good Morning,I have a view that contains rate information, contractIDs, and effectivedates.I need to select the rate info based on contractID and date.I can provide a date and contractID, and I need to select the rate info forthat contract where the effective date is <= dateprovided.I need the 1 record that is closest to that date.I am thinking something with max() perhaps. Any ideas? The <= effectivedate will return several rows, I just need the one closest to the date Iprovide.Thanks for any advice,CK

I need to select records by random order everytime user go to that page. QuestionID is the uniq field in this table.

I tried to use the following statement to get the random records but I can't get the value in the variable out of this statement that I can use in my above select statement. Please HELP.
I want to run a query that returns say 100 records...but I only want to return first 10 for first page on a web page, then on page 2 the webpage will return rows 11 to 20 of the same SQL statement...page 3 returns rows 21 to 30 rows etc....(eg. like Google or bulletin boards, browsing auctions in ebay etc.).
I could probably get my application logic to handle this (ASP.net), for instance I could possibly get a datareader to skip the first 10, output the next 10 then stop for page 2 (records between 11 amnd 20) but is there way to do this in SQL Server at the database level using an SQL Statement?
I can use TOP 10 to get the first set of records for the first page eg.
SELECT TOP 10* FROM Suppliers
...but how do I get between 11 and 20, 21 and 30 and so on?
I've already mentioned I could handle this in my application logic, but then each time the same SQL Statement is fetching all 100 records, even though the web page will only display a certain range. I'm building an intranet website that can potentially run queries that return 100'000s records, even though initially only top 20 or so records are display, each page they subsequently go to will rerun that same query that returns all 100'000 records. So handling this as part of the query would be better for performancr I reckon.
I have a table of approximately 10 million rows. The table has 3 field making up the key, namely: ID, Date, Program
I need to extract all the distinct Program's from the table. I have don so with: Select distinct Program from table This unfortunately takes roughly 2 minutes which is far to long. Is there something I can do to help speed this process up?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me write a SELECT statement to return all records (rows) based on whether they fall within two dates. For example, consider this table:
Code Snippet --DROP TABLE #Records CREATE TABLE #Records (RecordID INT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, StartDate DATETIME, EndDate DATETIME) INSERT INTO #Records VALUES (1, '2008-05-01', '2008-05-12') INSERT INTO #Records VALUES (2, '2008-05-08', '2008-05-12') INSERT INTO #Records VALUES (3, '2008-05-19', '2008-05-22') INSERT INTO #Records VALUES (4, '2008-05-22', '2008-05-23') INSERT INTO #Records VALUES (5, '2008-05-26', '2008-06-01') INSERT INTO #Records VALUES (6, '2008-05-28', '2008-06-01') SELECT * FROM #Records
I want to return the RecordID for any row which span this week. I've tried the simple approach of using WHERE GETDATE() BETWEEN StartDate AND EndDate but this doesn't produce the desired results. For example, RecordID 4 spans this current week but is not returned (obviously) with this approach.
The idea is to show which events (rows) are coming up this week and next week. Eventually the data will be used to populate an SSRS report.
