MS SQL Server :: Confused On Syntax-combining Queries

Confused On Syntax - Combine Two Queries

Apr 3, 2008

I have two queries that I'm trying to combine, but can't figure out how to combine them ... successfully!?! The first query is pretty simple in that I'm looking at several fields from two different tables, no big deal.

The second query calculates the years, months, days between two dates that are used in the first query. I'm stumped on how to combine the queries so that they place nice with each other and return results.

Here's the first query ...
select
RTRIM(RTRIM(vpi.LastName) + ', ' + RTRIM(ISNULL(vpi.FirstName,''))) Employee,
convert(varchar,vpi.FromEffectiveDate,101) PositionStart,
convert(varchar,vpi.ToEffectiveDate,101) PositionChange,
convert(varchar,vpi.PositionStartDate,101) PositionStartDate,
vpi.PositionReason, vpi.PositionCode, vpc.PositionCodeDescription
from vhrl_positioninfo vpi
inner join position_codes vpc on vpi.PositionCode = vpc.PositionCode

Here's the second query ...
select
[Age] = convert(varchar, [Years]) + ' Years ' +
convert(varchar, [Months]) + ' Months ' +
convert(varchar, [Days]) + ' Days', *
from
(
select
[Years] = case when BirthDayThisYear <= Today
then datediff(year, BirthYearStart, CurrYearStart)
else datediff(year, BirthYearStart, CurrYearStart) - 1
end,
[Months]= case when BirthDayThisYear <= Today
then datediff(month, BirthDayThisYear, Today)
else datediff(month, BirthDayThisYear, Today) + 12
end,
[Days]= case when BirthDayThisMonth <= Today
then datediff(day, BirthDayThisMonth, Today)
else datediff(day, dateadd(month, -1, BirthDayThisMonth), Today)
end,
Birth = convert(varchar(10) ,Birth, 121),
Today = convert(varchar(10), Today, 121)
from
(
select BirthDayThisYear =
case when day(dateadd(year, datediff(year, BirthYearStart, CurrYearStart), Birth)) <> day(Birth)
then dateadd(day, 1, dateadd(year, datediff(year, BirthYearStart, CurrYearStart), Birth))
else dateadd(year, datediff(year, BirthYearStart, CurrYearStart), Birth)
end,
BirthDayThisMonth =
case when day(dateadd(month, datediff(month, BirthMonthStart, CurrMonthStart), Birth)) <> day(Birth)
then dateadd(day, 1, dateadd(month, datediff(month, BirthMonthStart, CurrMonthStart), Birth))
else dateadd(month, datediff(month, BirthMonthStart, CurrMonthStart), Birth)
end,
*
from
(
select BirthYearStart = dateadd(year, datediff(year, 0, Birth), 0),
CurrYearStart = dateadd(year, datediff(year, 0, Today), 0),
BirthMonthStart = dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, Birth), 0),
CurrMonthStart = dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, Today), 0),
*
from
(
select birth = convert(datetime, fromeffectivedate) ,
Today = case when convert(datetime, toeffectivedate) = '3000-01-01'
THEN convert(datetime, convert(int,getdate()))
else vpi.toeffectivedate
end

from vHRL_PositionInfo vpi inner join position_codes vpc
on vpi.PositionCode = vpc.PositionCode

) aaaa
) aaa
) aa
)a

Here's the sample data ...
vpi table ...
LastName FirstName FromEffectDate ToEffectDate PosStartDate PosReason PosCode
Doe John 2001-10-15 3000-01-01 10-15-2001 Transfer OperPack
Smith Tom 1994-11-28 2001-10-14 1994-11-28 New Hire OperDC

vpc table ...
PosCode PosDescription
OperPack Pack Line Operator
OperDC Descaler Operator

This is what the results should look like ...
John, Doe 2001-10-15 3000-01-01 10-15-2001 Transfer OperPack Pack Line Operator 6 Years 11 Months 16 Days
John, Doe 1994-11-28 2001-10-14 1994-11-28 New Hire OperDC Descaler Operator 6 Years 6 Months 19 Days

I know the date calculation piece adds 5 additional fields to the end, but they are not needed for the final report. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Jena

Combining Two Queries

Jan 23, 2006

I have a transactions table that stores prices for products bought and sold.

If I want average buying prices I use:

SELECT AVG(price), product FROM transactions WHERE transactiontype=1 GROUP BY product

and for selling prices:
SELECT AVG(price), product FROM transactions WHERE transactiontype=2 GROUP BY product

Is there a way to combine this into one SQL query, to create one bindable dataset ?

Combining Two Queries

Apr 12, 2006

These similar queries do much the same thing: the first one gets a list of ticket ID's that have been bought as 'standalone' tickets by a particular user, along with the total quantity they purchased. The second one also gets a list of ticket ID's along with the quantity purchased by that user, but the list of ID's is driven by tickets that appear in their basket as part of packages, instead of standalone tickets.

I hope that's clear; if not, maybe the SQL will make it clearer:

SELECT
[tblTickets].[id] AS TicketId,
SUM([tblBasket].[ticket_quantity]) AS SingleTicketsTotal
FROM
[tblOrders]
INNER JOIN [tblBasket] ON [tblBasket].[order_id] = [tblOrders].[id]
INNER JOIN [tblTickets] ON [tblTickets].[id] = [tblBasket].[ticket_id]

WHERE [tblOrders].[id] IN (SELECT [id] FROM [tblOrders] WHERE [tblOrders].[user_id] = @userID AND ([tblOrders].[order_status]=@purchasedOrder OR [tblOrders].[id]=@currentSessionOrder))

GROUP BY [tblTickets].[id]

SELECT
[tblCombinations_Tickets].[ticket_id] AS cTicketId,
SUM([tblBasket].[ticket_quantity]*[tblCombinations_Tickets].[quantity]) AS PackageTicketsTotal
FROM
[tblOrders]
INNER JOIN [tblBasket] ON [tblBasket].[order_id] = [tblOrders].[id]
INNER JOIN [tblCombinations_Tickets] ON [tblCombinations_Tickets].[combination_id] = [tblBasket].[combination_id]

WHERE [tblOrders].[id] IN (SELECT [id] FROM [tblOrders] WHERE [tblOrders].[user_id] = @userID AND ([tblOrders].[order_status]=@purchasedOrder OR [tblOrders].[id]=@currentSessionOrder))

GROUP BY [tblCombinations_Tickets].[ticket_id]

I need to combine these. So that I get one result set with: ticketID, quantity bought as standalone, quantity bought as part of package.

I can't figure it out. I've tried inner joins, outer joins, left joins, right joins, nested subqueries and, briefly, banging on the screen. But every time, what happens is that I only get the rows where the ticket ID occurs in both queries. I need everything.

This has got to be laughably simple. But I'm stuck :( Can anyone help?

Combining Two Queries

Jun 19, 2008

I need to combine two queries into one.

Query 1 (main query)

SELECT dbo.Job.CompanyJobId, dbo.Job.Name, dbo.Job.Name, dbo.Job.ChangeDate,
dbo.Job.Active,
sum(case dbo.SourceType.CompanySourceTypeId WHEN 'MA' then dbo.ProductionEvent.AlternateQuantity ELSE 0 END) AS material,
sum(case dbo.SourceType.CompanySourceTypeId WHEN 'PR' THEN dbo.ProductionEvent.Quantity ELSE 0 END) AS production
FROM dbo.job
left outer join dbo.Event ON dbo.Job.JobGuid = dbo.Event.JobGuid
left outer join dbo.ProductionEvent on Event.EventGuid = dbo.ProductionEvent.EventGuid
left outer join dbo.Product ON dbo.ProductionEvent.ProductGuid = dbo.Product.ProductGuid
left outer JOIN dbo.Item ON Event.ItemGuid = dbo.Item.ItemGuid
inner join dbo.Source ON dbo.ProductionEvent.SourceGuid = dbo.Source.SourceGuid
inner JOIN dbo.SourceType ON dbo.Source.SourceTypeGuid = dbo.SourceType.SourceTypeGuid
left OUTER JOIN dbo.Region ON dbo.Job.RegionGuid = dbo.Region.RegionGuid
WHERE dbo.Job.CompanyJobId = 3505048
and(dbo.SourceType.CompanySourceTypeId = 'PR' or dbo.SourceType.CompanySourceTypeId = 'MA')
GROUP BY dbo.Job.CompanyJobId, dbo.job.name, dbo.Job.ChangeDate, dbo.job.Name, dbo.Job.Active

Result

3505048
SR 434 T-5201SR 434 T-5201
2007-10-11 16:36:45.647
Y
1314.26 (material qty)
1569.26 (production qty)

(where 1314.26 is sum material and 1569.26 is production)

Query 2

selectsum(EmployeeLaborEvent.Hours) as hours
fromdbo.job
left outer join dbo.Event ON dbo.Job.JobGuid = Event.JobGuid
Left outer join dbo.EmployeeLaborEvent ON Event.EventGuid = dbo.Employeelaborevent.EventGuid
WHERE dbo.Job.CompanyJobId = 3505048

Result:

1647.50 (which are sum of hours, this figure is correct)

Now I try to merge query 2 into Query 1 like this:

SELECT dbo.Job.CompanyJobId, dbo.Job.Name, dbo.Job.Name, dbo.Job.ChangeDate,
dbo.Job.Active,
sum(case dbo.SourceType.CompanySourceTypeId WHEN 'MA' then dbo.ProductionEvent.AlternateQuantity ELSE 0 END) AS material,
sum(case dbo.SourceType.CompanySourceTypeId WHEN 'PR' THEN dbo.ProductionEvent.Quantity ELSE 0 END) AS production,
sum(EmployeeLaborEvent.Hours) as hours
FROM dbo.job
left outer join dbo.Event ON dbo.Job.JobGuid = dbo.Event.JobGuid
left outer join dbo.ProductionEvent on Event.EventGuid = dbo.ProductionEvent.EventGuid
left outer join dbo.Product ON dbo.ProductionEvent.ProductGuid = dbo.Product.ProductGuid
left outer JOIN dbo.Item ON Event.ItemGuid = dbo.Item.ItemGuid
inner join dbo.Source ON dbo.ProductionEvent.SourceGuid = dbo.Source.SourceGuid
inner JOIN dbo.SourceType ON dbo.Source.SourceTypeGuid = dbo.SourceType.SourceTypeGuid
left OUTER JOIN dbo.Region ON dbo.Job.RegionGuid = dbo.Region.RegionGuid

left outer join dbo.EmployeeLaborEvent ON Event.EventGuid = dbo.Employeelaborevent.EventGuid

WHERE dbo.Job.CompanyJobId = 3505048
and(dbo.SourceType.CompanySourceTypeId = 'PR' or dbo.SourceType.CompanySourceTypeId = 'MA')
GROUP BY dbo.Job.CompanyJobId, dbo.job.name, dbo.Job.ChangeDate, dbo.job.Name, dbo.Job.Active

When I run the query the result is:

3505048
SR 434 T-5201SR 434 T-5201
2007-10-11 16:36:45.647
Y
1314.26(material)
1569.26 (production)
NULL (hours)

The material and production stay the same (and is correct). Hours are wrong.

Any clues? Thank you.

Help!? Combining SQL Queries? Can It Be Done??

Dec 18, 2006

Hi All,I have a problem with a table that I want to get nice data out of in asingle query. The guys here reckon it can't be done in a single querybut I wanted to prove them wrong !! Essentially, I want to get the samecolumn out of the single table, but in one case the column must have awhere clause associated with it, and the other case it does not have awhere clause...Lets say have a table like this :-date || user || transaction type || Amountso, each row contains a transaction type, and a corresponding amountfor this transaction.There can be any number of transactions (and transaction types) peruser per day.Here is what I want :I want to get one particular transaction type as a percentage of thetotal transactions : for example, a list of the % amount that Debittransactions have occurred for a user for a day, with respect to alltransactions that the user has done that day, so :Debits Jim performed on day 1 are 50% of all transactions he performedDebits Jim performed on day 2 are 55% of all transactions he performed... and so on.At the moment, I do this :select date, user, sum(amount) as debit_Amount where transaction_type='debit'group by date, userand dump that into tmp table Debitsthen I doselect date, user, sum(amount) as total_Amountgroup by date, userand dump this into tmp table Totalsand then I have to do a :SELECT Debits.User, (Debits.debit_Amount / Totals.total_Amount) asperc_Debit , Debits.dateFROM Debits, TotalsWHERE Debits.date = Totals.date AND Debits.User = Totals.UserCan anyone suggest a way of doing this without the need for thesetemporary tables???Thanks!

Combining Queries/ Results

May 4, 2005

I have created a search interface for a large table and I allow users to search on keywords. The users can enter multiple keywords and I build a SQL based on their input to search a full-text indexed table. However the users want to be able to search like an old system they had, where they enter single words and then combine their searches to drill-down into the results. What would be the best method to combine searches?At the moment I can create a merged query from 2 queries if they have searched using single words, but I know down the line it will get far more complicated if they keep combining and merging even with multiple word entries. Each time they search I store the 'where' section of each query, then if they choose to combine I have a function to build a new query through arrays (to eliminate duplicates and sort etc)Is there a better way in SQL to combine queries as sometimes the logic of the combined query means no results are returned (because of OR/ AND conditions in the wrong places etc)e.g.1. Select count(ID) as myCount FROM myTable where (CONTAINS(title,'"run"') OR CONTAINS(subject,'"run"'))2. Select count(ID) as myCount FROM myTable where (CONTAINS(title,'"level"') OR CONTAINS(subject,'"level"'))Combined using my function creates:Select count(ID) as myCount FROM myTable where (contains(title,'"level"') AND contains(title,'"run"')) OR (contains(subject,'"level"') AND contains(subject,'"run"'))
When I combine I'm drilling down, so if the first query returns a count of 400 (where the title OR subject contains 'run') and then the second query returns 600 records (where the title OR subject contains 'level') I need to combine so that I'm looking for records where the title contains both keywords 'run' AND 'level' OR else the subject contains both 'run' AND 'level' and I end up with say 50 records where the title has both keywords OR the subject holds both words. I think the main trouble lies if they try combine a previously combines search with a new search. here my logic gets totally thrown and I'm not sure how to handle soemthing like this. Has anyone got any ideas or experience with this kind of functionality? In SQL or even in vb.net is there a method to combine searches easily?

Combining Multiple Queries From Same Table

Oct 17, 2013

I have 3 queries pulling from the same table, trying to define a count on each criteria. I have the data pulling, but the data is in multiple rows. I want the data in one row with all the counts in each separate columns. Also I need to setup a flag if a client purchased and order within 30 days from their last purchase.

I am doing this select for each credit card, check and cash purchases. I do not know how to setup a flag where the client may have ordered and paid by check or cash after 30 days from a credit card purchase. Is this something that can be done?

select
clientnumber,count(distinct clientnumber) as cccnt,
0 as ckcnt, 0 as cacnt
from dbo.purchases
where orderdate >= 20120101 and orderdate <= 20121231 and
payment_type = 'CC'
group by clientnumber;

OUTPUT currently looks like this:
1234 2 0 0
1234 0 1 0
1234 0 0 4

Is it possible to result in this, along with a flag with the criteria above?:
1234 2 1 4 Y

Transact SQL :: Joining / Combining Two CTE Queries?

Apr 29, 2015

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 N1,

Combining Results Of Two Similar Queries Into One Result Set?

Mar 5, 2012

Customers order a product and enter in a source code (sourceCd). This sourceCd is tied to a marketing program. Idea being we can see that 100 customers ordered from this promo, 200 from this catalog, etc etc. The sourceCd that a customer enters is not always accurate so there is a magic process that adjusts this OrigSourceCd into a final SourceCd, that may or may not be the same.

I am trying to generate a result set of customer count by sales program based on both the original and final source code. Problem is, I have to do each query separately because in one, I have to join SourceCdKey to SourceCdKey to get the program associated with that SourceCd and in the other i have to join OrigSourceCdKey to SourceCdKey to get the program associated with the original sourceCd. There are some programs is one results set that are not in the other, and vice versa.

I'm trying to generate a list of that shows customer counts before and after for each program, some which may be null for one, but have counts for the other. I have tries creating 2 separating views and joining them but that doesn't work because it only returns the ones they have in common.

Transact SQL :: Combining Multiple Similar Queries

Nov 20, 2015

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.

Combining Two Queries Producing Unexpected Results

Mar 5, 2008

I'm having difficulty coming up with the right syntax for a query. Suppose I have a database containing a Stores table, an ProductInventory table, and a Customers table. The Stores table has an ID field that serves as a foreign key in both the ProductInventory table and in the Customers table. I'm trying to write a query that, for each Store record, will return the total number of records in the ProductInventory table and the total number of records in the Customers table.

The following query returns, for each store, the total number of records in the ProductInventory table:

SELECT Stores.Name,
COUNT(ProductInventory.ID) AS ProductInventoryItemCount
FROM Stores
LEFT JOIN ProductInventory ON Stores.ID = ProductInventory.StoreID
GROUP BY Stores.Name

The following query returns, for each store, the total number of records in the Customers table:

SELECT Stores.Name,
COUNT(Customers.ID) AS CustomerCount
FROM Stores
LEFT JOIN ProductInventory ON Stores.ID = Customers.StoreID
GROUP BY Stores.Name

I combined the two queries:

SELECT Stores.Name,
COUNT(ProductInventory.ID) AS ProductInventoryItemCount,
COUNT(Customers.ID) AS CustomerCount
FROM Stores
LEFT JOIN ProductInventory ON Stores.ID = ProductInventory.StoreID
LEFT JOIN Customers ON Stores.ID = Customers.StoreID
GROUP BY Stores.Name

When I run this last query, however, I get an "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int" error. Using COUNT_BIG instead of COUNT eliminates the error, but the numbers that are generated are astronomical in size. This indicates to me that there is a *lot* more table joining going on than I expected

What is the correct syntax to produce the desired results? I have a few other tables similar to ProductInventory and Customers; I'm hoping to extend the correct syntax so as to be able to get a comprehensive record count list for each store. Thanks for your help!

Correct Syntax Using Variables Inside SQL Queries (SqlCommand)

Mar 30, 2008

I have a test page where I'm using SqlConnection and SqlCommand to update a simple database table (decrease a number).
I'm trying to figure out how to make a number in the database table to decrease by 1 each time a button is being pressed. I know how to update the number by whatever I want to, but I have no idea what the correct syntax is for putting variables inside the query etc. Like "count -1" for instance.
The database table is called "friday" and the one and only column is called "Tickets".
Here's the code behind the button:protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{SqlConnection conn;
conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=***;Initial Catalog=***;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=***;Password=***");
conn.Open();int count = -1;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select Tickets from friday", conn);
count = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();if (count > 0)
{
string updateString = @"
update friday
set Tickets = 500" ; <------ Here I want to set Tickets like "current count -1"SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand(updateString);
cmd2.Connection = conn;
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
else
{
}
conn.Close();
}

M Confused About Using Dbo And ..

Jan 4, 2007

Hi,
I will give someone a script that creates a database using :
create database mydatabase
my question: can I use myDatabase.dbo...... and myDatabase..Whatevertable in order to manipulate the database objects or should I be careful with putting dbo in my script.

The reason is that I will have to give the following script to someone to execute on his instance and I don t want it to fail.

The script creates a database mosaikDB737, create a table called FileListInput in that database and populates a second table called DBlistOutput with the list of names of all databases in the instance.

Please let me know if there are any (BAD) chances for the following script to fail.

create database mosaikDB737
go
use mosaikDB737

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[FileListInput]') AND type in (N'U'))
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[FileListInput](
[FileName] [char](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
END

use master
select name into mosaikDB737.dbo.DBlistOutput from sysdatabases where name not in ('master','tempdb','model','msdb')

So Confused

Dec 15, 2007

OK, so I'm new to SQL server, which I'm sure you'll all see from my question below.

I am trying to migrate an access DB with queries over to sql server 2005. simple queries I can handle, but I've come accross a query that calls another query and does an update based off of my first query. The below queries work perfectly fine in access but I dont know how to get this going in SQL server. From my VERY minimal understanding in of SQL server i thought we couldnt call stored procedure (query1) and have it update the underlying tables. If I'm wrong, please show me how its done, If I'm right please show me the right way of doing this.
If you see spelling errors in the queries please ignore, that is not the full queries, it is just a cut down version to explain what I need to be able to do.

Query1

SELECT table1.assettag, table1.City, table2.Status, table2.ScheduleItems
FROM Table1 Inner join on table1.assettag = table2.assettag
where Status = "Scrubbed" or Status = "Initial"

Query2

Update Query1
SET query1.ScheduledItems = True
Where query1.Status = Scrubbed

thank you for any information or help.

Confused About Permission

Aug 29, 2007

I read a few articles on best SQL practices and they kept coming back to using a Least Privileged Account. So I did so and gave that account read only permissions. The articles also said to do updates use Stored Procedures - so I created stored procedures for updating/deleting data.So here's my problem - I connect to the database using the Least Privileged Account, I use the Stored Procedures, but .NET keeps saying I lack permissions. If I GRANT the Least Privileged Account UPDATE/DELETE permission on the table, the Stored Procedures run perfectly. But isn't that EXACTLY what I'm trying to avoid?My greatest concern is someone hacks my website and using the Least Privileged Account, they delete all my data using that account. So I don't want to give the Least Privileged Account the Update/Delete privileges.Thanks a MILLION in advance!

Nullable Got Me Confused

May 30, 2006

I have just started on a project which will be based on an existing MS SQL Server database. It has many columns which can be, and sometimes are, null. My basic DataReader code throws an SqlNullValueException when I try to GetInt32 but not when I try GetString. Why the difference?
Also, how do I model my class? Do I have to make all fields into nullable types? If I do that I notice a simple GridView will not show a column for that field! I am confused.

SP - Dazed And Confused

Mar 13, 2000

Hello,

I am calling a sql 7.0 stored procedure (sp) from an active server page(asp).

The sp is a simple insert. I need to read the return the value of the sp in my asp. If the insert is
successful, my return value is coming back correctly (to whatever i set it)....but if there is an error
such as a Uniqueness Constraint, I can't get the return code(set in the SP) to come back to the ASP.
It comes back blank. (The literature I've read says that processing should continue in the SP, so you
can perform error processing...is that right?)

I set the return var in my ASP as:
objCommand.Parameters.Append objCommand.CreateParameter("return",_
adInteger,adParamReturnValue,4)
and read it back as:
strReturn = objCommand.Parameters("return").Value

In my SP I simply do;

INSERT blah blah
if @@error = 0
return(100)
else
return(200)

(Idon't ever get back "200")

Any ideas???

Thanks for your help.

Confused Joins

Mar 21, 2007

I am using this query to create a single transactions from data that is distributed over several databases. So essentially i have created several variable tables and now I have to join them together.
So what I wanted to have happen was display all rows from temptalbel and then join the other tables to create one transaction row. The problem that occurs is within the where statement and I dont understand why. In some cases, you can have two instances of x but y will be different. In that case the joins work perfectly. In the event that there are only a single instance of x associated with a single instance of y this join does not work. Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?

select somedata, somedata, somedata, somedata
From kpi..temptablel l
left outer join @temps s on l.x = s.x
left outer join @tempf f on l.x = f.x
left outer join kpi..temptablee e on l.x = e.x
left outer join @tempn n on l.x = n.x

where l.y = s.y and l.y = f.y and l.y = e.y and l.y = n.y

Alias Has Confused Me.

Jul 23, 2005

I'm trying to learn how to make and use aliases for two tables in inthis update statement:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateStatusAS UPDATE dbo.npfieldsSET Status = N'DROPPED'FROM dbo.npfields NPF, dbo.importparsed IMPLEFT JOIN IMPON (NPF.pkey = IMP.pkey)WHERE (IMP.pkey IS NULL) AND((NPF.Status = N'ERR1') OR (NPF.Status = N'ERR2') OR (NPF.Status =N'ERR3'))I thought I could define the aliases in the FROM statement.I'm using Access as a front end to SQL server if that makes adifference in the queries.

Little Bit Confused About Databases On CE

Nov 10, 2006

Hi there,

i need a database for my Windows CE application which i can update from a desktop application.

I tried the SqlCeConnection. This works good on the device, but i found out, that i need a sql server on the desktop or someone else to get access to the device server. This is a problem for me, because i cannot insall such a sever on the desktop.

So i searched and searched....I found infos about the ole connection, but i cant find the namespace?!?

Can anyone give me a hint what the best solution could be?

Im using Visual Studio 2005 and a CE device.

Thanks a lot

Overwhelmed And Confused ...

Mar 28, 2007

I'm trying to get up-to-speed on developing new websites using Visual Web Designer and SQL Server Express.

I have previously installed various Microsoft web development components (Visual Studio 2005, .NET Framework 1/2/3 and SQL Server 2005). I've also tried out the new Web Expressions Beta (and Design and Blends, altho the install keys for the latter two never worked and I never received an answer as to what to do for that in the appropriate forums).

TODAY, I'm just trying to get Visual Web Developer and SQL Server Express installed so that I can start down the path of "Connecting to an Existing Database" as outlined in the (downloaded) "Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition - Build a Web Site Now!" PDF gude (page 138: "Start Visual Web Developer and display the Database Explorer window.").

HOWEVER, when I attempt to install "SQLEXPR32.exe" I get the following message after all the unpacking seems to complete:

"SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .NET Franework, or SQL Server 2005. Use Add or Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005 Setup again. For detailed instructions on uninstalling SQL Server 2005, see the SQL Server 2005 Readme."

NOW, my first confusion is this: is "SQLEXPR32.exe" Server 2005 or SQL Server Express -- and what's the difference? Following this bit of unhelpful error message, I searched through the SQL Server Express pages and found a live link to a "uninstall tool" that hinted that it could solve my left-over garbage problems. However, then I run that I get:

"The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is Write_CommitFlag .... blah-blah-blah"

so it sounds like the automatic uninstall tool has gotten lost.

ODDLY, the codish window which follows contains the following:

"

Reference to undefined entity 'nbsp'. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/DOCUME~1/Kevin/LOCALS~1/Temp/IXP000.TMP/failed....

  <!-- div id="RPCreated" style="display:none">
-----------------------------^

" which very peculiarly looks like something has gotten lost and confused over a non-breakable space? (" "). Huh?

ME? I'm totally lost! Is there no step-by-step cookbook that I can use to just start all over and go through the painful (DSL) downloads and get my show on the road?
