I have a table PLACE with a character column CODE
[Code] [nchar](4) NULL
I need to left pad the column with 0 if it is less than 4 characters long and extract the first 2 characters on the left into a new column COUNTY_CODE.
How can I do that in transact SQL?
I tried:
SELECT RIGHT(RTRIM('0000'+ISNULL([Code],'')),4)
FROM [Place]
WHERE [Place Code]='B' and [Code]='627'
And I got 0627. And how do I extract the first 2 characters?
How to remove space left to right and right to left
If I give limit >60 for first 60 character; limit 60< second 60 character
Result would be check if space at 60 character if yes remove and go the 59 character check then space remove and 58 character check if there is charater then display
As well as after 60 character to till 120 for right space
Anyone know why using
SELECT *
FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id
instead of
SELECT *
FROM a LEFT JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id
generates a different execution plan?
My query is more complex, but when I change "LEFT OUTER JOIN" to "LEFT JOIN" I get a different execution plan, which is absolutely baffling me! Especially considering everything I know and was able to research essentially said the "OUTER" is implied in "LEFT JOIN".
Any enlightenment is very appreciated.
Thanks
-- Why is the left table in a LEFT JOIN limited by the where clause on the right table?eg
DECLARE @LeftTable TABLE (LeftID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1), LeftValue INT NULL)
INSERT @LeftTable (LeftValue)
VALUES (111)
INSERT @LeftTable (LeftValue)
VALUES (222)
[code]....

Hi All,
Im having a problem with a statement i cannot seem to get 2 left joins working at the same time 1 works fine but when i try the second join i get this error:-

My SQL statment is as follows :-

I am using an Access database i have tried all sorts to get it working and its driving me mad!! any help would be really appreciated.
Is there any difference between left join and left outer join in sql server 2000?please reply with example if any?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Whats the diference between a left join and a left outer Join
Hi,
I am trying to pad a field from the left with zeros that is defined in a table as "[char] (9)". The field can have from 1 to 9 chars populated. In this instance the value in the field is "133000", which I am trying to pad so that it will be "000133000". I have made several failed attempts to do this, the latest of which was this:
select
right(replicate('0',9)+ convert(varchar(9),a.GS06GRP_CTL_NBR),9)
fromTable1 a
Thanks,

I'm trying to join 2 tables. I thought I was getting the correct results but it turns out I'm not.
My Query:
SELECT IVINVA, IVORDN, IVCSLN, IVRESR, IVCITM, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVIAMT as money),1) AS ExtPrice, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVPIVC as money),1) AS DistPrice, IVCSUM, IVQYCS, IVDESC, OIRESR, OIDPCT, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVPIVC - (OIDPCT / 100 * IVPIVC) as money),1) AS NetPrice FROM INVDET1_TBL LEFT JOIN ORDDIS_TBL ON ORDDIS_TBL.OIORDN = INVDET1_TBL.IVORDN AND ORDDIS_TBL.OIRESR = INVDET1_TBL.IVRESR WHERE IVORDN = '0859919' AND IVINVA = '00324024'
Basically, my problem lies in the seonc condition of the LEFT JOIN. I needed to set the two tables equal my item number, because in some situations I need that logic to get the correct result. It most other cases, that item column in the ORDDIS_TBL is NULL, thus giving me the wrong results. In that case, I would want the JOIN to only be ORDDIS_TBL.OIORDN = INVDET1_TBL.IVORDN, and not include the second part. Is there a way I can condition this with an If statement, If ORDDIS_TBL.OIRESR is Null then do this join, if not, then do this? I'm confused how to get the proper result here.
What is the syntax of left triming characters seperated by space.
e.g elsie reed
and i want elsie to go to one field and reed in another field i do not want to use numbers because they don't all have the same numbers but are all seperated by spaces
I need to make a left join from the freezefile f, to sped s, instead of having f.studentid = s.id in the where clause. Any help??
select f.studentid, f.studentname, f.sex, fs.mealstatus, s.except, s.lre, r.description, g.testid, g.scale_la, g.scale_ma, t.test_name, t.year
from freezefile f, fsapps fs, sped s, regtb_exception r, gqe_scores g, test_info t
where
f.type = 'ADM'
and
s.except = r.code
and
t.test_name = 'ISTEP'
and
t.year = 2004
and
g.testid = t.testid
and
f.studentid = fs.id
and
f.studentid = s.id
and
f.studentid = g.studentid
To the wise,
This may be a very simple problem but it's been racking may brains for a while and I just can't seem to think it through clearly.
I'm trying to return a query which uses a left join and where. I'm hoping to get a result set which shows - let us says all the departments in a company. I would like to see all the department but only the names of department heads that earn 20.000+.
In MS Access I used a subquery. My subquery returned only departments with department heads that earned 20.000+ - I then left joined the departments table to that query - no problem.
With MSSQL I've tried IN, ANY, ALL but my result sets only returns the departments that earn 20.000+ and the employees for those particular departments.
I'm thinking there must be some way of doing this without having to use a union clause.
Thanks for taking the time to read this message through.
Sincerely,
Arthur Lambiris

I need all rows from table 1 bat right and left join gives me the same results, WHY
There are two tables:
tblIndices:
IndexID, Name
1index1
2index2
3index3
.
.
.
tblBasketConstituents
ID, ParentIndexID, ChildIndexID, Weight
121 20
223 80
313 50
412 50
As you can see the ParentIndexID and ChildIndexID fields refer to tblIndices.IndexID
I would like a stored procedure as follows:
show all index names and show the wights for the indexID you passed.
This is what I have so far and it is not correct yet. Not sure what the syntax should be.
alter PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspBasketIndices_Get]
@IndexIDint
AS
select
i.IndexID,
i.[Name],
bc.Weight
from
tblIndices as i left join tblBasketConstituents as bc on i.IndexID = bc.ParentIndexID
and i.IndexID = @IndexID
order by
i.[Name]
Any one know any facts and figures about maximum Left Joins allowed (or recommended) in one query?
I am running a MS SQL 2000 my database is full of relational data and most of my foreign keys (INT data type) are a Clustered Indexed, Usually I will only be pulling one record from collection of about a dozen tables, but the Database is expected to grow fast and become big.
Right now I have a Stored Proc that has eight(8) LEFT JOINs in it. My worry is that this query will kill me as the database approaches 50,000 records.

i have a query

Hi all. My query works fine, it generates reports but not my expected result.
select d.fullname, p.nickname, p.birthdate, p.birthplace,
p.gender, p.civilstatus, p.religion, p.nationality, p. weight, p.height,
p.haircolor, p.eyecolor, p.complexion, p.bodybuilt, p.picture, p.dialectspoken,
d.mobilephone, d.prprovince,[Age] = dbo.F_AGE_IN_YEARS( birthdate, getdate() ),
c.name, c.address, c.telno, c.email, c.occupation, ed.year1, ed.year2, ed.degree, sch.schname
from hremployees as e
inner join psdatacenter as d on e.empdcno = d.dcno
inner join pspersonaldata as p on e.empdcno = p.dcno
left join hrappempcharrefs as c on e.empdcno = c.empdcno
left join hrappempeducs as ed on e.empdcno = ed.empdcno
left join hrsetschools as sch on ed.schoolcode = sch.schcode
the above query gives a 77 records
if i ran "select * from hremployees" generates 60 records
i think the error is in the left joining.
hrappempcharrefs, hrappempeducs and hrsetschools must be left joined to hremployees.
thanks

if i had many variables like 12-232
and 232131-232
and wanted only that left of the - symbol from that variable how could i do that?
Hi,
we are using Moss 2007 and in one of our lists we add a hyperlink.
when we display this field into a report it is showed as: hyperlinkurl, name
for example: http://www.site.com,testsite
What we want to is that the piece after the , is displayed as a value and the string before the , is used as hyperlink.
Now we have tested a few things like:
=Trim(Right(Fields!Variant_Locatie.Value, Len(Fields!Variant_Locatie.Value) - InStr(Fields!Variant_Locatie.Value, ", ")))
and this give's us the string part AFTER the , so that part is correct!
but I can't find out how to do the same thing but then for using everything BEFORE the ,
...
anyone got an idea? just changing Right with Left give's us (for example): http://thisisa
instead of http://thisisatest.com (he's counting the number of characters from the right to the , and then displays the characters starting from the left but only the number of characters he counted previously) ...
urgent plz!
My understanding of relevant topics as well as SQL Books Online definition of left outer joins is that each record in the left table will be retrieved and where no associated right record exists then null values will be displayed for records in the right hand table but I've obviously misunderstood and would be grateful if someone could show me how to produce the required effect.
My scenario is pretty simple: 2 tables DiningTables and Reservations with columns as follows:
DiningTables: TBL_ID and TBL_Location - TBL_ID is the primary key
Reservationss::RES_TBL_ID and RES_Diner_Name - RES_TBL_ID is the primary key
There are 8 records in DiningTables and 4 records in Reservations and the objective is obtain the following output:
TBL_ID RES_Diner_Name
1 Jones
2 Smith
3 Bloggs
4 Mack
5 null
6 null
7 null
8 null
The SQL query I used is
SELECT Reservations.RES_Diner_Surname, DiningTables.TBL_ID
FROM DiningTables LEFT OUTER JOIN
Reservations ON DiningTables.TBL_ID = Reservations.RES_TBL_ID
That query generates 11 rows as follows:
TBL_ID RES_Diner_Name
1 Jones
1 Smith
1 Bloggs
1 Mack
2 null
3 null
4 null
5 null
6 null
7 null
8 null
I'm clealry missing something incredibly obvious and I kinda feel like the village idiot and would be extremely grateful for a clue!!
Hi All,
This may be a stupid question. But I just want to make sure i'm going in right direction.
I wrote the following query. My purpose is to retrieve all the members who submitted loan applications.
I just want to make sure my query is right? Can anyone veryfy this query?
Do I have to use loanApplication table first instead of members. Also Do I need to use right outer joins instead of left outer joins?
Code Block
SELECT Member.CUMemberId, LoanApplication.SubmittedOn, Member.LastName, Member.FirstName, Member.MiddleName, LoanApplication.Amount,
LoanApplication.Decision, LoanApplication.Term, Rate.InterestRate, LoanApplication.Status, Member.CuStatus
FROM Member INNER JOIN
MemberLogon ON Member.Id = MemberLogon.MemberFK INNER JOIN
LoanApplication ON Member.LastLoanApplicationFK = LoanApplication.Id AND Member.Id = LoanApplication.MemberFK LEFT OUTER JOIN
Account ON Member.Id = Account.MemberFK AND LoanApplication.LoanFK = Account.Id LEFT OUTER JOIN
Rate ON LoanApplication.RateFK = Rate.Id
WHERE (LoanApplication.Status = 'Submitted')
Thanks
Report from right to left
Hi.
Is there a way to define the report from right to left?
and I mean all the report and not just the textBox and stuff?
For example:
Right now, When I have a table that spread over the whole page, If I change the visibility of a column from the center to False - The table shrink to the left (and there is a spare room in the right side of the page).
I tried changing the lenguage to hebrew but no good.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I am working on a query that has 11 left join statements, some are hitting against reference data that has a small amount of records, whereas others not so small. From a performance standpoint, should I look at rewriting this query, and how would I do so? What is an alternative to left joins; any examples anyone has?
Thanks.

Any ideas??
Hello!
I need to write a query using left outer join and I'm having trouble with it.
I have 2 tables:customer and cust_info.
I want to pull all records from customer table and cust_info table even if there is no related data in cust_info table.
But I need one condition in this query:only records from customer table where cus_type in ("A","B","C").
I don't need all other types ("D","E").
So my query looks like this:
select customer.cus_name,customer.cus_address,customer.cu s_type,cus_info.status
from customer
left outer join cus_info ON customer.sxdat_pk = cus_info.sxdat_pk
and cus_type in ("A","B","C")
AND cus_info.cus_table = 'CUSTOMER'
The result should be like this:
cus_name cus_address cus_type status
Amoco 457 bent A new
Bingo 47 lone oak C NULL
Sears 1020 Magic dr. B exist
But my query pulls records for customers with type "D" and "E" that I'm trying to exclude from result.
Please help.
Thanks,
lena

Hello everybody!!!
I have to left join 2 tables. The first consists of columns:id, description, descr_num.
The second table: id, descr_num, value.
I need to extract description from table1 where descr_num is in the range , say, 1-10.
LEFT JOIN
extract value from table2 ,descr_num should be in the same range. in table2 some values from (1,10) and desc_num could be not present.
BUT i want this left join to be limited as i said.
Is there any solution to this prob. without creating temp tables. Or actually can i do such a join?
Thank you
Now I have a table with the table design as following :
table cst_EmpProfile
intEmpId nvcEmpName nvcEmpAddress intEmployeeType bitActiv
1 Peter Null Null true
2 Juli 1, xxxx 2 true
3 Sam Null Null False
table cst_EmpType
intEmpType nvcEmployeeType
1 Free Enginner
2 Manager
3 Operator
To join the table but MUST follow the condition as bitActiv = TRUE:
select emp.nvcEmpName, emp.nvcEmpAddress, ety. nvcEmployeeType from cst_EmpProfile emp left join cst_EmpType on emp.intEmployeeTypee = ety.intEmpType and emp.bitActiv = 1.
But, the sql statement doesnt output the my expected result.
Because the data row return must be 1st and 2nd row as it bitActiv = true.
So, how's I going achieve what i want. tq.
Hi, I'm getting the error Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'dbPWork.id = dbPWorkWord.work_id LEFT JOIN words ON dbPWorkWord.word_id = words.id'." on the query below. Everything looks in place to me. Do you see anything that shouldn't work?
Query:
Code:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT dbPWork.id, description_e as description, w_id , dateStart, dateEnd FROM dbPWork
LEFT JOIN dbPWorkW ON dbWork.id = dbPWorkW.work_id
LEFT JOIN words ON dbPWorkW.word_id = words.id
Everything works fine until I add the second LEFT JOIN statement. Any ideas? I'm stumped.
I have a left join that doesn't suit my request.
select * from A
left join B
on A.x=B.x
The problem is that for a specific record in A we can find 1 or more entries in B. What I want is to return only the 1st entry found on B.
thx
