Hello,
Im wondering if someone can offer some advice, Im trying to get a union in the statement below to it will return all the data as rows in one table.....
DECLARE @counter INT
SET @counter = 0
WHILE @counter < 24
BEGIN
SELECT "Hour"=(SELECT @counter),
"HourAverage"=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM webstats WHERE (hourstamp = @counter) AND (datestamp < getdate())) / (@numberofdays),
"HourToday"=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM webstats WHERE (hourstamp = @counter) AND datestamp > DATEADD(d,-1,GETDATE()) AND datestamp < DATEADD(d,1,GETDATE()))
SET @counter = @counter + 1
ENDIf i write each statment out with the values as apose to @counter and union under each i get the result i am looking for...
SELECT "Hour"=(SELECT 0),
"HourAverage"=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM webstats WHERE (hourstamp = 0) AND (datestamp < getdate())) / (@numberofdays),
"HourToday"=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM webstats WHERE (hourstamp = 0) AND datestamp > DATEADD(d,-1,GETDATE()) AND datestamp < DATEADD(d,1,GETDATE()))
UNION
SELECT "Hour"=(SELECT 1),
"HourAverage"=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM webstats WHERE (hourstamp = 1) AND (datestamp < getdate())) / (@numberofdays),
"HourToday"=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM webstats WHERE (hourstamp = 1) AND datestamp > DATEADD(d,-1,GETDATE()) AND datestamp < DATEADD(d,1,GETDATE()))
UNION
etc. etc. Does doing a while loop have any performace advantages to my other example? Thanks Bart
I have 3 tables One table is the order Table, Bill to table and ship to table I have to Views created as followed
This query uses the Ship to table to pull the ship to information to the shipping system. SELECT Cust_address.NAME, Cust_address.ADDR_1, Cust_address.ADDR_2, Cust_address.ADDR_3, Cust_address.CITY, Cust_address.STATE, Cust_address.ZIPCODE, Cust_address.COUNTRY, Cust_address.SHIP_VIA, customer_order.ID FROM Cust_address INNER JOIN customer_order ON (Cust_address.CUSTOMER_ID = customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID) AND (Cust_address.ADDR_NO = customer_order.SHIP_TO_ADDR_NO);
This query uss the Bill to as the ship to inforamtion SELECT CUSTOMER.ID, CUSTOMER.SHIPTO_ID, CUSTOMER.NAME, CUSTOMER.ADDR_1, CUSTOMER.ADDR_2, CUSTOMER.ADDR_3, CUSTOMER.CITY, CUSTOMER.STATE, CUSTOMER.ZIPCODE, CUSTOMER.COUNTRY, CUSTOMER.SHIP_VIA, customer_order.ID, customer_order.SHIP_TO_ADDR_NO FROM CUSTOMER INNER JOIN customer_order ON CUSTOMER.ID = customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID;
I need this infroamtion in one table which I have done in the UNION statement as followed: SELECT Cust_address.NAME, Cust_address.ADDR_1, Cust_address.ADDR_2, Cust_address.ADDR_3, Cust_address.CITY, Cust_address.STATE, Cust_address.ZIPCODE, Cust_address.COUNTRY, Cust_address.SHIP_VIA, customer_order.ID FROM Cust_address INNER JOIN customer_order ON (Cust_address.CUSTOMER_ID = customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID) AND (Cust_address.ADDR_NO = customer_order.SHIP_TO_ADDR_NO) UNION ALL SELECT CUSTOMER.NAME, CUSTOMER.ADDR_1, CUSTOMER.ADDR_2, CUSTOMER.ADDR_3, CUSTOMER.CITY, CUSTOMER.STATE, CUSTOMER.ZIPCODE, CUSTOMER.COUNTRY, CUSTOMER.SHIP_VIA, customer_order.ID FROM CUSTOMER INNER JOIN customer_order ON CUSTOMER.ID=customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID;
Here is the problem when I pull information out of the ship to table I get 2 results as followed My key field to pull this information is the Last field Custoemr ID this custoemr ID exist in both tables but contains different information I want to ONLY pull in the info that I need in this case it would be the first line that is the Correct shipping information.
I have the following query and for some reason when I try to run it, it tells me there is an incorrect syntax near the 'union' statement. Can you tell me what is wrong with this?

I am not completly sure if I have this posted in the right forum so if I don't just let me know and I will move it. Here is my problem. I need to be able to use the WHERE keyword more than once in one SELECT statement and have not been able to figure this out. I need to be able to first search for information under one column with the WHERE keyword like usual and then I need to be able to search the returned results with another WHERE keyword to narrow down the returned results. I tried writing two SELECT statements and joining them with a UNION ALL keyword like this:
"SELECT LI.ID, LI.CNID, CD.ID, LI.FDName, LI.FDR " & _ "FROM FinalDrive AS LI INNER JOIN CarData AS CD " & _ "ON LI.CNID = CD.ID WHERE LI.CNID = '1'" & _ "UNION ALL" & _ "SELECT LI.ID, LI.CNID, CD.ID, LI.FDName, LI.FDR " & _ "FROM FinalDrive AS LI INNER JOIN CarData AS CD " & _ "ON LI.CNID = CD.ID WHERE LI.FDName = 'Car1"
This hasn't worked and I didn't expect it to. Everytime I run this code I get an Unhandled SqlExecption:
Invalid column name 'Towing'.
Can anyone help me with figuring out how to use the WHERE keyword more than once. I am using Visual Basic.Net with ADO.Net. Thanks!
I have a report that is using a union statement to pull in data from two identical tables except that one is for current month, the other for archived data.
What I want to do is prompt the user once for a date and use the value to select from the right table. Since a sales date can only exist in one of the tables, one union will work, the other not.
But the report in prompting me for a parameter for each query....which is in Informix and the prompt is this: "?"
Is there anyway to force both halves of the query to see this as one parameter so the user is only prompted once?
I'm trying to write a UNION statement with 2 selects and can't figure out for the life of me how to do it.
select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY dateJoined UNION select top 10 * from tblusers ORDER BY lastLogin
The union works fine without the order by's, but I really need the order by's in there and I don't understand why its so difficult to do. Surely there must be some other strategy?
i have the following union statement, which works like a charm:SELECT [Name], [EventID] AS [ItemID], [TourID], [Date], NULL AS [StartDate], [Date] AS [SortDate], [Type] FROM [Events] WHERE [TourID] IS NULL AND AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel UNION SELECT [Name], [TourID] AS [ItemID], [TourID], NULL AS [Date], [StartDate], [StartDate] AS [SortDate], '2' AS [Type] FROM [Tours]WHERE AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel ORDER BY [SortDate]
now i want to ad a limit to this statement, but i can't get it working. i have tried this:SELECT * FROM (SELECT [Name], [EventID] AS [ItemID], [TourID], [Date], NULL AS [StartDate], [Date] AS [SortDate], [Type] FROM [Events] WHERE [TourID] IS NULL AND AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel UNION SELECT [Name], [TourID] AS [ItemID], [TourID], NULL AS [Date], [StartDate], [StartDate] AS [SortDate], '2' AS [Type] FROM [Tours]WHERE AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel) ORDER BY [SortDate] LIMIT 2 but i keep getting an error message saying "Incorrect syntax near the keyword "ORDER". what am i doing wrong?
Hi,I have a database stored in MS SQL 2000 and an application written inVB5, which connects the database via JET/ODBC.I have a problem with the UNION statement.When I run a simple query like:"SELECT field1 FROM table1 UNION SELECT field2 FROM table2"I get the following error:"Runtime error 3078 - The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find theinput table or query 'select field1 from table1'. Make sure it existsand that its name is spelled correctly."I can run the queries separately "SELECT field1 FROM table1" and "SELECTfield1 FROM table2", so that I'm sure table and field names are correctand I have permission to access them.Both field1 and field2 are the same type (int).If I run the query in MS SQL Query Analyzer, it works fine.It doesn't work only when I run it from VB/JET/ODBC.Has anyone already had this kind of problem?Any help will be highly appreciated!Thank you so much for the attention.--Posted via http://dbforums.com
Is it possible to have a conditional union statement in a stored proc?Here's an example on the northwind database. If says there's a syntaxerror near the UNION statement. Looks like it doesn't like having theBEGIN directly in front of it.Is the only solution to create a dynamic sql string then call exec onit?Any help appreciated.Tom.CREATE PROCEDURE usp_test(@both int = 1)ASSET NOCOUNT ONSELECT * FROM territories WHERE regionid = 1IF @both = 1BEGINUNIONSELECT * FROM territories WHERE regionid = 2ENDGO
Hi,Should be quite simple but can someone please tell me the best way tocount the number of rows in an UNION ALL statement.I tried using @@ROWCOUNT but that doesn't seem to contain the correctnumber.Also, I assume that running the query again but just returning count(*)instead of the data is horribly inefficient (plus the code is thenbloated.)?Thanks,Mark
I have TSQL query using UNION ALL. First subset returns 92 rows, second subset return 0 (ZERO) rows. Now if I execute them separately they execute subsecond. If I put UNION ALL between them then it hangs forever exactly on 88s row.
I understand I need to provide execution plans, actual queries etc but before going into all this details, why on earth even in theory UNION ALL with empty result will result in a hang of the first subset?
Based on estimated execution plan 2 subqueries are performed in parallel and then CONCATENTION is being used which shall result with just first subset immediately displayed in result.
Estimated execution plan attached, I can not get actual execution plan because query never completes.
I am trying to use SQL to pull unique records from a large table. The table consists of people with in and out dates. Some people have duplicate entries with the same IN and OUT dates, others have duplicate IN dates but sometimes are missing an OUT date, and some don’t have an IN date but have an OUT date.
What I need to do is pull a report of all Unique Names with Unique IN and OUT dates (and not pull duplicate IN and OUT dates based on the Name).
I have tried 2 statements:
#1: SELECT DISTINCT tblTable1.Name, tblTable1.INDate FROM tblTable1 WHERE (((tblTable1.Priority)="high") AND ((tblTable1.ReportDate)>#12/27/2013#)) GROUP BY tblTable1.Name, tblTable1.INDate ORDER BY tblTable1.Name;
#2: SELECT DISTINCT tblTable1.Name, tblTable1.INDate FROM tblTable1 WHERE (((tblTable1.Priority)="high") AND ((tblTable1.ReportDate)>#12/27/2013#)) UNION SELECT DISTINCT tblTable1.Name, tblTable1.INDate FROM tblTable1 WHERE (((tblTable1.Priority)="high") AND ((tblTable1.ReportDate)>#12/27/2013#));
Both of these work great… until I the OUT date. Once it starts to pull the outdate, it also pulls all those who have a duplicate IN date but the OUT date is missing.
Example:
NameINOUT John Smith1/1/20141/2/2014 John Smith1/1/2014(blank)
I am very new to SQL and I am pretty sure I am missing something very simple… Is there a statement that can filter to ensure no duplicates appear on the query?
I have a GridView dispalying from a SQLServerDataSource that is using a SQL Select Union statement (like the following):
SELECT FirstName, LastNameFROM MasterUNION ALLSELECT FirstName, LastNameFROM CustomORDER BY LastName, FirstName I am wondering how to create Update and Insert statements for this SQLServerDataSource since the select is actually driving from two different tables (Master and Custom). Any ideas if or how this can be done? Specifically, I want the Custom table to be editable, but not the Master table. Any examples or ideas would be very much appreciated! Thanks, Randy
I have a query which does 3 selects and Union ALLs each to get a final result set. The performance is unacceptable - takes around a minute to run. If I remove the Union All so that the result sets are returned individually it returns all 3 from the query in around 6 seconds (acceptable performance).
Any way to join the result sets together without using Union All.
Each result set has exactly the same structure returned...
Query below [for reference]...
WITH cte AS ( SELECT A.[PoleID], ISNULL(B.[IsSpanClear], 0) AS [IsSpanClear], B.[SurveyDate], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY A.[PoleID] ORDER BY B.[SurveyDate] DESC) rownum FROM[UT_Pole] A LEFT OUTER JOIN [UT_Surveyed_Pole] B ON A.[PoleID] = B.[PoleID]
I have a Union All transformation with 4 inputs and one output when I debug the package the sum of the different inputs rows does not match the row count in output.
I don't understand, I've used the Union All transform many times and I've never seen this.
I just found out that I can do an ORDER BY clause on entire records set retrieve from a query that combines several sub queries with UNION from different tables with the same structure... so this is great to know, BTW, is this a new feature of MSSQL 2K ? I don't recall being able to do this in MSSQL 7 or 6.5.
Anyway, the main question is, can I use the TOP command in a query that has UNION in it?? Meaning, there are two queries (or more) from two tables (or more) and I need to fetch the top 10 records by an ORDER BY clause from the combined results, when I try to add each sub query TOP 10 the results are not correct at all, when I try to add TOP 10 only to the first query hoping that the analyzer will refer to the whole query, it's selecting TOP 10 from the first query and combines it with all the records from the others...
So, can anyone help? I hope the problem is understood.
I am trying to join to different queries into one table ( I accomplished this)
Next I need to ADD or SUM the results of 2 rows to form a single row.
As you can see in the query below, I run 2 separate queries and use ' ' as a place holder for the UNION to work. I get duplicate rows, one with a value and the other with a '0'. I want to have a single row.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

By default, the UNION operator removes duplicate rows from the result set. If you use ALL, all rows are included in the results and duplicates are not removed.
Why is it assumed that one would want the duplicates removed by default? Isn't that what SELECT DISINCT is for?
I was wondering if there is a way I could write this query as one query using union instead of 3 different queries?
SELECT columna as column,count(ID) as Applications FROM tablea GROUP columna
SELECT columna as column2, count(ID) as Approved FROM tablesa where substring(APP_DATE,1,6) >'200304' and in 'Approved') GROUP BY columna
SELECT columna as column3, count(ID) as Booked, sum(AMT) as amt, sum(AMT)/count(ID) as lavg from tablea where substring(APP_DATE,1,6) >'200304' and STATUS in('book') group by columna
I am doing a UNION of 8 views(with 3 million rows in each view approx). I am sure that there is NO DUPLICATE data between the views. SO specifying a UNION ALL would be better than specifying a UNION in this case?
Thanks!

Hi All I want to do the following report and I want the 2nd select statement to appear at the bottom to display the totals

Hi,I can return results of a union easily enough, but I wish to sum the recordsfirst. Is this possible in a single SQL statement? Or do I have to useseparate ones to sum up after the union?Cheers,Chris
Of the two queries below, the first returns the desired result, the union of the select-except statments. Why doesn't the second query return the same result as the first? Is this a mistake/bug on Microsofts side?
When any changes have been made to the underlying table structure, the Union all reports error and does not automatically correct the error. I then have to delete it and recreate it. Is this a bug?
