What I am working with unfortunately is a very poorly designed and non-normalized database. Please don't criticize the design. I didn't design it, but I have to write queries against it.I have 2 tables. 1 is called EnterVolume. The other is ExitVolume. Similar columns exist in each.
The rules of the database state that for every EnterVolume row (for a given TrialID, SBOINumber, and OwnerBOI) there must be a corresponding ExitVolume row in the ExitVolume table.What I need to do is to capture the paired TimeOfEvent entries from each table for each paired row. Nothing says that an SBOI cannot enter and exit a OwnerBOI's volume several times during the same Trial.Every time a SBOI Enters an OwnerBOI's volume during a certain trial, a row is created in the EnterVolume table. And Likewise when Exiting a OwnerBOI's volume during a certain trial, a row is created in the ExitVolume table.
So here is a query that I attempted, but gave undesirable results:
SELECT EV.TimeOfEvent AS [Enter Time], XV.TimeOfEvent AS ExitTime
FROM IntegratedTest1.EventPortion.EventEnterVolume AS EV INNER JOIN
IntegratedTest1.EventPortion.EventExitVolume AS XV ON EV.TrialID = XV.TrialID AND EV.SBOINumber = XV.SBOINumber AND EV.OwnerBOI = XV.OwnerBOI
Here is some sample data:
EnterVolume
TrialID SBOI OwnerBOI TimeOfEvent
1 A D 5
1 A D 2000
I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.
I am joining on two tables, and returning the values that do not exist in #topoftheline -- well now I see that their are multiple calltimes so I want to return ONLY the most recent call time. What would I change in my syntax to only return that most recent datetime?
How can I add a group number to the following query?
For example, I want to be able to have all rows that have Category = 'Field Sales' and Division = 'CA BDM' to be given a unique group number (GN):
RN ReportDate Category Division TotalBalance -------------------- ---------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------------------- 1 2015-06-08 Field Sales CA BDM 299743154.3912 2 2015-06-07 Field Sales CA BDM 299765954.0354 3 2015-06-01 Field Sales CA BDM 297902654.4172 1 2015-06-08 Key Accounts Life Office 49954981.74 2 2015-06-07 Key Accounts Life Office 50016989.22 3 2015-06-01 Key Accounts Life Office 50169967.26 4 2015-05-31 Key Accounts Life Office 50169918.01
Becomes
GN RN ReportDate Category Division TotalBalance -------------------------- ---------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------------------- 1 1 2015-06-08 Field Sales CA BDM 299743154.3912 1 2 2015-06-07 Field Sales CA BDM 299765954.0354 1 3 2015-06-01 Field Sales CA BDM 297902654.4172 2 1 2015-06-08 Key Accounts Life Office 49954981.74 2 2 2015-06-07 Key Accounts Life Office 50016989.22 2 3 2015-06-01 Key Accounts Life Office 50169967.26 2 4 2015-05-31 Key Accounts Life Office 50169918.01
i.e. each combination of Category+Division results in a new GN.
The query is:
selectROW_NUMBER() over (partition by Category, Division order by ReportDate desc) 'RN' , ReportDate , Category , Division , sum(BalanceGBP) as 'TotalBalance' FROM FlowsAndOpenings group by ReportDate, Category, Division order by Category, Division, RN
SELECT DISTINCT CASE WHEN t2.idNum IS NULL THEN t1.idNum ELSE t2.idNum END, CASE WHEN t2.FreqDt IS NULL THEN T1.FreqDt else t2.FreqDt END, CASE WHEN t2.freq is null then t1.freq else t2.freq end FROM @tmptbl as t1 LEFT JOIN @tmptbl as t2 ON t1.idNum = T2.idNum AND t1.FreqDt = t2.FreqDt AND t1.rn = (t2.rn-1)
After all this, I'm supposed to condense the result set to only include sequential frequency dates with unique frequencies.should look like below (this is where I'm stuck)
I have to run this 3 times for similar but slightly different parameters. I only change the very top peice of code slightly each time:
1. Partition by Forename, Surname, DOB, Postcode 2. Partition by Forename, DOB, Postcode 3. Forename, Surname, DOB.
As you can see very subtle change, ideally I'd like to find a way to run just one report where all of the above occur, the issue I face running separately is one person may appear on 1 or more giving duplicates.
USE HealthBI_Views;this bit below is basically grouping my output on Forename, Surname, DOB & Postcode. What the whole process is trying to achieve is to show where a patient which has all of the above fields identical but has a different patient identifier suggesting that the service has allocated to unique identifiers to the same person which will result in both records needing to be merged.
WITH cte AS (SELECT *, COUNT(HEYNo) OVER ( PARTITION BY Forename, Surname, DOB
[code]...
--- this bit below is simply showing all instances where the above criteria is met and there are more then one instances.WHERE countOfHeyNo > 1 --- The final output display all patient identifiable information from the MF_PATIENT table so that the report can be created in SSRS and run routinely by the Data Quality Team who can then investigate each occurance.
I now want to merge those single records, which follow a pattern. For the above case this would be Row 1+2+3, so the result should be:
Row Leg-ID From To On DateFrom DateTo DOW 1 ABC123 AAA BBB CCC 01JAN15 14JAN15 1 3 ABC123 XXX YYY ZZZ 14JAN15 14JAN15 1
The pattern is, that the legs from Row 1 and 2 have identical attributes (Leg-ID, From, To, On, DOW) and are on consecutive weeks on the same weekday. I was doing this through a while-look:
check if there is a record matching the following week (a.DateTo = dateadd(d, 7, b.DateFrom))if there is a match, then update the previous week record DateTo with the following week DateFromdelete the following week record but this is very slow, for 50T rows it runs approx. 6 hrs to shrink everything..
There are more than hundred tables, so i wanna automate this. i am tryin to do this in a cursor: please guide!
declare @name VARCHAR (50) declare cur cursor fast_forward for select name from sysobjects where type='u' and status not like '-%' open cur WHILE (1=1) BEGIN FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO @name IF @@fetch_status = 0 BEGIN ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD created_date [DATETIME] GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD modified_by [VARCHAR] (25) GO ALTER TABLE @name ADD modified_date [DATETIME] END ELSE BREAK END DEALLOCATE cur
I also want that if one column for a table exists; the other columns should be created rather than it quits.
I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.

How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?
For every table in my database there is a duplicate table with same columns. For example, employee is the name of main table, there is employee_dup table in same database.
There is only one column extra in _dup tables i.e.,idn column.
Now, I want to know all the columns present in main table which are not present in corresponding _dup table. There might be a chance of missing one or two columns in _dup tables. So i want a query to find out all the columns present in main table that are not present in hx table.
I am trying to write an SQL command for my crystal report. I need to compare the same column in 3different tables & get the data from each table for only the matching data.. I understand I need to create a temporary table, get the data into it & then work around.. I am quite new to SQL.
Eg: Considering one customer account Table 1 Cust.No Name Amt_Counter AmtPaid 123.456 sam 0 0 123.456 sam 1 50
Table 2 Cust.No Name Freq_Counter Frequency 123.456 sam 1 0 123.456 sam 2 15
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from Details where Emp_Code in (" + selectedValues + ")", con);
I want to join a table called Materials to this now. Material table also has an Emp_Code column. How can I write a select sql query to fetch Emp_Code from both Details and Materials table.
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select D.Emp_Code, M.Emp_Code from Details D, Materials M where D.Emp_Code = M.Emp_Code in (" + selectedValues + ")", con);

I have two tables in the same SQL database. Both have a similar numericfield. One field has the same number as the other field but is prefixedwith various letters. I know how to use LIKE but won't know the partialstring I am looking for. I am trying to use LIKE '%' + Field A orsomething that will do this.Eg.Table 1 Field A is 'A12345"Table 2 Field B is '12345"I want to find every record in Table 1 Field A that contains the exactField B data.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
Hi,I m searching for some Script / Function ... to find difference in datab/w 2 similar tables (exactly same fields structure) in sql 2000.plz update me asap !thanks in advance !
Along with some other rows with the same format. I need to join to this table using a RiskElementCode that I get from the Source system. The trick is that it can be at any level, but I don't know which level it is at. So what I have to do is somehow get the correct row from the lookup table based on the code from the source to get the correct level.
So for Example, If i receive the RiskElementCode of 'SSR', that is in column RiskElementCategoryCode_3 so I need the row that has 'NA' for anything after RiskElementCategoryCode_3 where RiskElementCategoryCode_3 = 'SSR'. If i get 'DFR' I need to get the row where RiskElementCategoryCode_4 = 'DFR' since there are no levels deeper than 4 i don't need to check anything else. If I get 'PRR', then I need the row where RiskElementCategoryCode = 'PRR' and code_2, code_3 and code_4 = 'NA'.
So besides getting the correct row based on the code, i need to get the correct row based on the level where the next levels are 'NA'. I should only get 1 row each time.
I have these two CTE queries, the first one is the existing one which runs fine and returns what we need, the second is a new CTE query which result I need to join in to the existing CTE, now that would be two CTE's can that be done at all?The second query is working on the same table as the first one so there are overlaps in names, and they are the same, only columns I need to "join" is the "seconds" and "AlarmSessions".
;with AlarmTree as ( select NodeID, ParentID, NodeLevel, NodeName, cast('' as varchar(max)) as N0, cast('' as varchar(max)) as N1, cast('' as varchar(max)) as N2, cast('' as varchar(max)) as N3,
I am using SQL 2005 merge replication with a publisher managing about 45 articles(tables) with about 10 subscribers (remote servers). The problem is that we had to re-start replication from scratch and noticed that, although the publisher's tables have the default values, the subscribers did not get the default values with the initial snap shot, schema building..?!?
I now have to go over 450 tables (10 remotes SQl servers at 45 tables each) and 'reset or set' over 1,000 default values. Meanwhile, the system is down...omg...so not good.
Is there a script out there that automatically extracts the default values from a table and set it to another exact table with the same structure? any ideas?
I have two tables in my database called CartItems and OrderItems. Istore all of a session's shopping cart items in the CartItems tableusing the sessionID as the identifier (called cartID in my DB). Afteran order is placed and is approved, I would like to copy all of theitems in the CartItems table for that given cartID to the OrderItemstable given a new orderID.I will know the cartID and orderID ahead of time and would like tosend them both into a stored procedure and have the transfer takeplace.Example:take this data...CartItems (table)--------------------------------------cartID | itemID | quantity | price--------------------------------------12345 2 1 12.9512345 7 2 17.95and make it this data...OrderItems (table)--------------------------------------orderID | itemID | quantity | price--------------------------------------00001 2 1 12.9500001 7 2 17.95via some stored procedure that I send (@cartID,@orderID)Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
It seems that there should be a solution for my situation, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out.
I need to compare two "like" tables, containing similar data. Tbl 1 is "BOOKED" (which is a snapshot of inventory) and tbl 2 is "CURRENT" (the live - working inventory table). If I write my query as follows the the subsequent result is "duplicate" data.
Code Block SELECT booked.item, booked.bin, booked.quantity, current.bin, current.quantity FROM BOOKED LEFT JOIN CURRENT ON booked.item = current.item
No matter what type of join I use, there is duplicate data displayed for each table. For example, if there are more bins in the BOOKED table that contain a certain product then the CURRENT table will repeat data and vica versa.
As follows:
Item Bin Quantity Bin Quantity
12345 A01 500 A01 7680
12345 B01 6 A01 7680
12345 C01 20 A01 7680
54321 G10 1032 E15 1163
54321 G10 1032 F20 523
54321 G10 1032 H30 750
98765 Z20 7000 Z20 8500
98765 Y15 2500 Y15 3000
98765 X10 1200 Y15 3000
What I would like to do is display Bin and Quantity only once and the repeating values as NULL or [BLANK]. Or, to display all of the bins from both tables and only the quantities from each table in relation to the bin found in that table, returning a "0" if no quantity exists.
This is what I'm after:
Item Bin Quantity Bin Quantity
12345 A01 500 A01 7680
12345 B01 6 B01 0
12345 C01 20 C01 0
54321 G10 1032 E15 1163
54321 F20 0 F20 523
54321 H30 0 H30 750
98765 Z20 7000 Z20 8500
98765 Y15 2500 Y15 3000
98765 X10 1200 X10 0
Is this possible? If so, how?
I also might add that it is ok for each table to contain multiple entries for any given item. This is basically being requested as an inventory variance report - inventory before physical count and immediatly after physical count - and will only be run once a year.
----------------------------------------------- Just thinking out loud here: What if I created three subqueries, the first containing only BOOKED information, the second containing only CURRENT information and the third being a UNION of both tables? Something like this:
Code Block SELECT q3.bin, q1.item, ISNULL(q1.quantity, 0) as QTY_BEFORE, ISNULL(q2.quantity, 0) as QTY_AFTER
FROM
(select item, bin, quantity from BOOKED)q1 Left Join
(select item, bin, quantity from CURRENT)q2 on q1.item = q2.item Left Join
(select bin, item from BOOKED UNION CURRENT)q3 on q1.item = q3.item
Order By q1.item
I don't know if I wrote the UNION statement correctly, but I will have to try this when I get back to work...
I have a table (can't change the schema of it since it is part of an off the shelf app ) that has columns for individuals which I need to extract several pieces of information, essentially Phone, Email Address, etc. See U1 - U6
What is a better way to return this information rather than multiple joins?
I have these two queries I would like to join, however the later is a grouped query how can I join it with the first query? Has to be joined on EventId. The second query is a total table scan.
SELECT AH.EventID, AH.TechnicalAddress, AH.AlarmAlias, AH.AlarmPath as [OrgAlarmPath], AH.AlarmCounter as AlarmCount, AH.EventDateTime as EventTime, AH.[Priority], AH.AlarmMessage, AH.EventText, AH.CallListName, AH.AlarmReadDate as EndTime, AH.alh_EventEndedUserRemark as [EndRemark] --, SUM(seconds) here, and AlarmSessions here FROM AlarmHistory AH
[Code] ...
2) WHERE ia.EventTypeId = 0 group by ia.EventId order by EventId desc
I know people use ROW_NUMBER() function to do the pagination but my below two query is bit complex. Sohow to use pagination there ? I used ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY IsNull(A.OEReference, B.OEReference) ASC) as Line in one but not sure am i right or wrong.
IF IsNull(@GroupID,'') = '' SELECT IsNull(PartGroupName, 'UnMapped') AS PartGroupName, CASE IsNull(PartGroupName, '') WHEN '' THEN '' ELSE IsNull(IsNull(K.GroupID, IsNull(C.PartGroupID,'')),'') END AS PartGroupID,
I have created 3 views, which I then want to join to produce an overall result. The first view returns customer details, along with payment information. The next two views return values only when the customer has purchased extras outside our standard product i.e. if there is no purchase of an extra, then nothing is written to the extra's table. When I join the views together they only return values where data has been matched in all 3 views i.e. extra's have been purchased. Any data that did not match in all 3 view (i.e. no extra's purchased) is either ignored or dropped from the results. So I need my script to return all values even if no data exists in the two extra views.

I have a large table with 100 Million records that has around 1 million duplicate records that need to be deleted.
I am running a script that creates a staging table called,DuplicateTable that collects all the duplicates and then I want to write a an effecient delete statement.
Is it possible to write something like:
delete from OrigTable O join DuplicateTable D on O.Key = D.key
Or do I have to run a loop on the DuplicateTable and run a delete statement record by record ?
Hi. I'm new to SQL, and need to join 2 tables... any hints??? table1:id (int)title(varchar(50))body(text) table2:id (int)title(varchar(50))body(text) somehow need to get the id, which table the record is from, and the title and body... so if the tables had the information: table1:id title body1 "first title" "first body"2 "second title" "second body"3 "third title" "third body" table2:id title body1 "first title" "first body"2 "second title" "second body"3 "third title" "third body" I would like to get... id table title body3 1 "third title" "third body"3 2 "third title" "third body"2 1 "second title" "second body"2 2 "second title" "second body"1 1 "first title" "first body"1 2 "first title" "first body" Does anyone know how to get this? I am fairly flexible if i need to change things... cheers, eh!
Hello everyone,I'm starting a new project right now and am trying to cut down on the number of stored procedures and tables I'm gonna have to use and I have run into a dead end.Up till now I have been doing the following: Say I had a PRODUCTS table with a DesignId column and ColorId column. I would then create a DESIGN table (Name, Id) and a COLOR table (Name, Id) to INNER JOIN with the two columns in my PRODUCTS table. And the same goes for all my other tables: ORDERS, CUSTOMERS, LINKS etc...... And in the end I would have a lot of tables and stored procedures for these category columns. So I thought, it would be nice to just have a Categories and Subcategories table for all my category columns for the whole website. That way every time I need to define a category column for any table I can simply just add the values to my Categories and Subcategories table instead of having to create a new table for every category column. Everything is fine and dandy except for trying to INNER JOIN these two tables with more than one column. To get values for one column is no problem:<code> SELECT *, _SubCategories.SubCategoryNameFROM _ProductsINNER JOIN _SubCategoriesON _Products.DesignId = _SubCategories.SubCategoryIdWHERE DesignId = COALESCE (@DesignId, DesignId)</code> But how do you INNER JOIN the ColorId column as well. Both DesignId and ColorId values are in my _SubCategories table. In a stored procedure: Is there any way to create a table and columns. Run a loop statement, with one INNER JOIN . Rerun another loop statement with a new INNER JOIN statement? Would that work or does any one else have an idea what would?Thank you guys for the help. It is much appreciated. Alec
Hello all, I have two datatables "customersReached " and "customersGuessed " and I want to combine them into one table only, the problem is that one table exeeded to the other by two fields, so what can I do??????? Mahmoudona
I've been trying to think about how I can do this. I have forums that I have written built around SQL Server. Basicly you have:
-A users Table -A Posts Table -A Replies Table.
Posts and replies have very similar structures. I'd like to be able to merge them and pick out the earliest post for said forum.
1 - is there a way to merge them so that the post date for both the replies and posts tables is contained in 1 column. If not is there a better alternative.
I'd also like to add indexing to the posts so I can do paging. Is there a way for me to add an index number to them while I can sort them anyway i want.
I am using MS SQL Server 2005 on Windows XP with SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP. I am having issues with my query on joining 2 tables I created using BETWEEN to restrict the Salary. Table 1 is called Employee and Table 2 is called Job_title. The column Job_title_code is the only column that is in both tables which is how I am joining both tables. Here is my SQL query:
Code:
SELECT Employee.*, Job_title.*
From Employee
INNER JOIN Job_title
ON Employee.Job_title_code=Job_title.Job_title_code
WHERE Salary
BETWEEN 50000 AND 500000;
The results I am getting back are:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 7 Invalid column name 'Job_title_code'.
I can't figure out how to fix this error. I feel like I have tried everything, so any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, I have a table with fields as partnerid, contractno. The partnerid field has the Id number which can be a supplier or a customer. I need to get the partner id(supplier) and the partner id (customers) of that particular supplier only. I tried with self join but the data is data is replicating.
Data in table PId ContractNo 20045 1567 435 1567 123 1567 345 1678 1004 1678
I need to display the data in the following format.
jack 20 Melbourne AAA Nick 30 Bendigo BBB Russ 28 Sydney AAA Marty 31 Perth AAA
Table 3
name age city Position
jack 20 Melbourne Manager Nick 30 Bendigo Manager Russ 28 Sydney Clerk Marty 31 Perth Manager
Table 4

I want a query which extract the name, age and city from Table 2 (where name,age and city equals table1 values) and position from table3 where position is 'manager' else return null and date joined from table 4 only for the managers else return null.
so the result should be

SELECT b. name, b.age, b.city,b.company,c.position,d.datejoined FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c, Table4 d WHERE a.age=b.age and a.name=b.name and a.city=b.city and b.age*=c.age and b.name*=c.name and b.city*=c.city and b.position='Manager' and b.age*=d.age and b.name*=d.name and b.city*=d.city
THE RESULT IS
jack 20 Melbourne Manager 09-09-2001 Nick 30 Bendigo Manager 08-05-2001 Russ 28 Sydney null 10-12-2000
When I try to join table4 with table i am getting a exception
Ps: as the original code was in SQL SERVER 6.5 I have to use *= for joins not keywords LEFT JOIN or RIGHT JOIN
