I was writing a query using both left outer join and inner join. And the query was ....
SELECT Â Â Â Â Â Â Â S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname FROM Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN Â Â Â Â Â Â (Production.Products AS P Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â INNER JOIN Production.Categories AS C
[code]....
However ,the result that i got was correct.But when i did the same query using the left outer join in both the cases
i.e..
SELECT Â Â Â Â Â Â Â S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname FROM Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN (Production.Products AS P LEFT OUTER JOIN Production.Categories AS C ON C.categoryid = P.categoryid) ON S.supplierid = P.supplierid WHERE S.country = N'Japan';
The result i got was same,i.e
supplier   country   productid   productname   unitprice   categorynameSupplier QOVFD   Japan   9   Product AOZBW   97.00   Meat/PoultrySupplier QOVFD   Japan  10   Product YHXGE   31.00   SeafoodSupplier QOVFD   Japan  74   Product BKAZJ   10.00   ProduceSupplier QWUSF   Japan   13   Product POXFU   6.00   SeafoodSupplier QWUSF   Japan   14   Product PWCJB   23.25   ProduceSupplier QWUSF   Japan   15   Product KSZOI   15.50   CondimentsSupplier XYZ   Japan   NULL   NULL   NULL   NULLSupplier XYZ   Japan   NULL   NULL   NULL   NULL
and this time also i got the same result.My question is that is there any specific reason to use inner join when join the third table and not the left outer join.
I needed to get a list of rows from a table that is not present inanother table.My problem lies in the fact that I only want SOME of the rows in table2 used in determining existance. This happens because table 2 containshistorical data (based on report date). Table 1 contains my productionlist.I am able to get most of the code done but cannot seem to incorporatethe reportdate column.Based on the code below my output should be as follows:ReportDate = '20031229'Output = 0 rowsReportDate = '20031230'Output = DIA, 123456789ReportDate = anything elseOutput = QQQ, abcdefghiDIA, 123456789CREATE TABLE [Indices] ([Symbol] VARCHAR(10),[Identity] VARCHAR(10))CREATE TABLE [ClearingIndices] ([ReportDate] DATETIME,[Symbol] VARCHAR(10),[Identity] VARCHAR(10))GOINSERT INTO [Indices] VALUES ('QQQ', '123456789')INSERT INTO [Indices] VALUES ('DIA', 'abcdefghi')INSERT INTO [ClearingIndices] VALUES ('20031229', 'QQQ', '123456789')INSERT INTO [ClearingIndices] VALUES ('20031229', 'DIA', 'abcdefghi')INSERT INTO [ClearingIndices] VALUES ('20031230', 'QQQ', 'abcdefghi')GOSELECTI.[Symbol], I.[Identity]FROM[Indices] ILEFT OUTER JOINClearingIndices CIONCI.[Symbol] = I.[Symbol]AND CI.[Identity] = I.[Identity]WHERE--CI.[ReportDate] = '20031230'CI.[Symbol] IS NULLAND CI.[Identity] IS NULL
I appreciate how difficult it is to resolve a problem without all theinformation but maybe someone has come across a similar problem.I have an 'extract' table which has 1853 rows when I ask for all rows whereperiod_ = 3. The allocation table for info has 210 rows.I have two scripts below. The first script where I specify a period on ajoin, brings back 1853 lines and works. The second script where I specifythe period in the where clause only brings back 1844 rows. I have locatedthe missing 9 rows and they don't look any different to the other 1844 rows.Can someone educate me as to the difference between specifying a conditionon a join and a condition in a where clause.SELECTa.costcentre_,b.nett_,a.*,b.*FROMextract aLEFT OUTER JOINallocation bONa.e_reg_ = b.reg_no_ANDb.period_ = 3WHEREa.period_ = 3--------------SELECTa.costcentre_,b.nett_,a.*,b.*FROMextract aLEFT OUTER JOINallocation bONa.e_reg_ = b.reg_no_WHEREa.period_ = 3ANDb.period_ = 3
Is there any difference between explicit inner join and implicitinner joinExample of an explicit inner join:SELECT *FROM employeeINNER JOIN departmentON employee.DepartmentID = department.DepartmentIDExample of an implicit inner join:SELECT *FROM employee, departmentWHERE employee.DepartmentID = department.DepartmentID
Hello all, I'm new to SQL and my Teach Yourself in Blah Blah Blah book doesn't index anything helpful to my task. I have a single TABLE ratings (rid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, mvid INTEGER, uid INTEGER, rating INTEGER) with about 100,000,000 rows. I would ultimately like to be able to select rows that are the intersection of two mvid on uid or vice versa -- that is, all rows whose uid is present in the set of rows where mvid=a AND in the set where mvid=b (or vice versa). Something like: ridmviduidrating ---------------------- 1123763 2123314 3123442 4211652 5211764 6211445 7535933 8535762
SELECT * FROM ratings INTO @temp_table WHERE mvid=123 SELECT * FROM ratings WHERE uid IN @temp_table AND mvid=211returns 5211764 6211445
FIRST, I don't know how to accomplish this intersection at all and the only idea I've had is querying the first clause of the intersection and storing it in a temporary/variable table then selecting from that and the original table for the second clause (not that I know how to do this), but I'm afraid this will be very inefficient for the >O(n^2) queries I must perform, so SECOND, should I build derived intersection tables from the results so as to have ~O(1) when repeating the queries later, or will SQL be doing sufficient behind-the-scenes magic? Is there an efficient SQL statement that could generate table(s) of the set of intersections if necessary? Thanks
I'm trying to build dynamic sql from a string passed by a callingapplication. Let's assume for this discussion that the user can pass astring of letters with these logical operators ("and", "or", and "andnot") seperating them. Each letter can be rebuilt into a sub querythat will search for people in a table by their middle initial. Forexample,X and Y(select SSN from tblPerson where MiddleInitial = 'X') UNION(select SSN from tblPerson where MiddleInitial = 'Y')This seems pretty easy with the and operator (UNION) but how can I do"or" and "and not"? I remember from a SQL class I had 10 years agothat there was an INTERSECTION operator but it appears that T-SQLdoesn't support it. The closest option is EXIST and NOT EXIST butthese can not be simply inserted between two sub queries (I think),they require the user of a where clause. It would obviously work inthe example above but in the more complecated example below it wouldn'tbe an easy replacement of the operators and sub queries.X and (Y or J) and not LSo, the bottom line is that I have no problem replacing the letterswith the appropriate sub query but I'm looking for a way to replace thelogical operator with SQL syntax that will mimic the logical operator.I hope this makes sense. : )Will Wirtz
I have a table with no keys (temp table) which looks like this : col1|col2|col3 001|A|.087 001|B|.032 001|C|.345 002|A|.324 002|B|.724 003|A|.088 003|C|.899 001|A|.087 001|A|.234 001|B|.032
As you see, there is some duplicate entries in it. I would like to get a list of all the rows that have the same col1 and col2 BUT different col3 value. The result should return col1=001 col2=A but NOT col1=001 col2=B. I tried a lot of queries with EXISTS, HAVING, etc... but nothing seems to work.
Lets say that Dealers have ZipCodes, and that a Dealer can have more than one zipCode, and we want the list of dealers that have both 90210 and 90211 zip codes. BUT we don't want any dealers that have only one of the two ZipCodes in question
What I want to do is something like this
Select DealerID from DealerZips where Zip = '90210' intersection Select DealerID from DealerZips where Zip = '90211'
but I get this error msg: Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'intersection'
The following sql is silly, but it does run without error Select DealerID from DealerZips intersection Select DealerID from DealerZips
So I am pretty sure my problem is with the Where clauses.
I'm trying to create a report and chart for a a manufacturing resource's activity for a given period (typically 30-90 days)
Jobs are created for the length of the run (e.g. 4 days). If the weekend is not worked and the above jobs starts on a Friday, the resource's activity needs to show 1 day running, 2 days down, 3 days running without the production scheduler having to make it two jobs. (A job can have multiple interruptions due to downtime). I have the jobs' schedules in one table and the downtimes in another (so think of the downtime as a calendar table--non working hours). Unusually, the end time is supplied with the downtime factored in.
So I need the query to create 3 datetime ranges for this job: Fri running, Sat,Sun down, Mon,Tues,Wed Running. Been going round in circles on this for a while. i'm sure there's an elegant way to do it: I just can't find it. I've found several similar post, but can't apply any to my case (or at least can;t get them to work)
Below is some sample date and expected results. I hope the explanation and example data is clear.

Is it possible to filter out a measure only at the intersection of Two dimension members? I have a date dimension, Â a Hospital dimension and a wait time measure.
For Example, is it possible to filter out Wait time for Bayside Hospital for the Month of June 2015?
I want Wait time to continue to be displayed for all other months and roll up into the totals without the filtered value.
I'd like to create a report with the folloiwng format:
DATE1 DATE2 DATE3 DATE4 DATE5 [fixed 5 dates across the top, from today to T+5]
THING1 x x x x
THING2 x x x x
THING3 x x x x
THING4 x x x x
my raw data looks like this:
THING1, DATE1, TEXT VALUE 1
THING1, DATE2, TEXT VALUE 2
&c&c.
Now: there may be 0, 1 or several (by which I mean 2-5 max) text values to display at each intersection. If there are zero I'd like it to be blank, if there are one or several, i'd like to display them in a little list within the cell.
OLEDB source 1 SELECT ... ,[MANUAL DCD ID] <-- this column set to sort order = 1 ... FROM [dbo].[XLSDCI] ORDER BY [MANUAL DCD ID] ASC

These two tasks are followed immediately by a MERGE JOIN

All other rows are joining as expected. Why is it failing for this one row?
I'm having trouble with a multi-table JOIN statement with more than one JOIN statement.
For each order, I need to return the following: CarsID, CarModelName, MakeID, OrderDate, ProductName, Total ordered the Car Category.
The carid (primary key) and carmodelname belong to the Cars table. The makeid and orderdate belong to the OrderDetails table. The productname and carcategory belong to the Product table.
The number of rows returned should be the same as the number of rows in OrderDetails.
Why would I use a left join instead of a inner join when the columns entered within the SELECT command determine what is displayed from the query results?
I have a merge join (full outer join) task in a data flow. The left input comes from a flat file source and then a script transformation which does some custom grouping. The right input comes from an oledb source. The script transformation output is asynchronous (SynchronousInputID=0). The left input has many more rows (200,000+) than the right input (2,500). I run it from VS 2005 by right-click/execute on the data flow task. The merge join remains yellow and the task never finishes. I do see a row count above the flat file destination that reaches a certain number and seems to get stuck there. When I test with a smaller file on the left it works OK. Any suggestions?
A piece of software I wrote starting timing out on a query that left outer joins a table to a view. Both the table and view have approximately the same number of rows (about 170000).
The table has 2 very similar columns, one is a varchar(1) and another is varchar(100). Neither are included in any index and beyond the size difference, the columns have the same properties. One of the employees here uses the varchar(1) column (called miscsearch) to tag large sets of rows to perform some action on. In this case, he had set 9000 rows miscsearch value to "g". The query then should join the table and view for all rows where miscsearch is set to g in the table. This query takes at least 20 minutes to run (I stopped it at this point).
If I remove the "where" clause and join all rows in the two tables, the query completes in about 20 seconds. If set the varchar(100) column (called descrip) to "g" for the same rows set via miscsearch, the query completes in about 20 seconds.
If I force the join type to a hash join, the query completes using miscsearch in about 30 seconds.
So, this works:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER HASH JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
and this works:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE descrip = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
But this does't:
SELECT di.File_No, prevPlacements, balance,'NOT PLACED' as status FROM Info di LEFT OUTER JOIN View_PP pp ON di.ram_file_no = pp.file_no WHERE miscsearch = 'g' ORDER BY balance DESC
What should I be looking for here to understand why this is happening?
We are trying to migrate from sql 2005 to 2012. I am changing one of the implicit join to explicit join. As soon as I change the join, the number of rows returned are fewer than before.
INSERT #RIF_TEMP1 (rf1_row_no,rf1_rif, rf1_key_id_no, rf1_last_date, rf1_start_date) SELECT currow.rf0_row_no, currow.rf0_rif, currow.rf0_key_id_no, prevrow.rf0_start_date, currow.rf0_start_date FROM #RIF_TEMP0 currow LEFT JOIN #RIF_TEMP0 prevrow ON (currow.rf0_row_no = prevrow.rf0_row_no + 1)
[Code] ....
the count returned from both the queries is different.
I am not sure what am I doing wrong. The count of #RIF_TEMP0 is always 32, it never changes, but the variable @countTemp is different for both the queries.
Why does this right join return the same results as using a left (or even a full join)?There are 470 records in Account, and there are 1611 records in Contact. But any join returns 793 records.
select Contact.firstname, Contact.lastname, Account.[Account Name] from Contact right join Account on Contact.[Account Name] = Account.[Account Name] where Contact.[Account Name] = Account.[Account Name]
Is there a way to do a super-table join ie two table join with no matching criteria? I am pulling in a sheet from XL and joining to a table in SQLServer. The join should read something like €œfor every row in the sheet I need that row and a code from a table. 100 rows in the sheet merged with 10 codes from the table = 1000 result rows.
This is the simple sql (no join on the tables):
select 1.code, 2.rowdetail from tblcodes 1, tblelements 2
I read that merge joins work a lot faster than hash joins. How would you convert a hash join into a merge join? (Referring to output on Execution Plan diagrams.) THANKS
