Opposite Of SELECT TOP?

Aug 17, 2007

Is there an opposite of the TOP keyword in a select statement?

I have the following query which works fine but it's not in the order I need because I have to use DESC to get the last 40 records.


select top 40 slabnumber, scarfcode, left(productname,6) as heatid, strandid, heatcutnumber, creationtime
from product
where scarfcode = 'V3'
order by creationtime desc


I need the returned records ordered by creationtime but not descending.

The Opposite Of ADD UNIQUE (Column Name)

Nov 3, 2015

I just started with SQL Server Express and was playing around with the Management Studio.

I created a query to make a column unique:

ATLTER TABLE Table_Name
ADD UNIQUE (Column_Name)

That worked perfect, if I fill in the same data in the next row of that column, I get an error as expected. But, how do I remove the UNIQUE property on that column? I can find it in the column properties within Management studio, neither I can't find the command to undo this action.

SQL Server 2014 :: Remove Duplicates In Opposite Columns

Jan 22, 2015

I have a table containing the following data:

LinkingIDID1 ID2
166202180659253178
166202253178180659
166334180380253179
166334253179180380
166342180380180659
166342180659180380
166582253179258643
166582258643253179
264052258642258643
264052258643258642
264502258643258663
264502258643259562

Within the LinkingID, there are duplicates in ID1 and ID2 but just in opposite columns. I have been trying to figure out a way to remove these set based. It doesn't matter which duplicate is removed. Essentially these are just endpoints and I don't care which side they are on. The solution must recognize the duplicates and not just remove based on every 2nd row.

Is There A Keyword Or Function Opposite Of TOP? How Do I Get Various LOWEST/BOTTOM Values?

Jan 26, 2008

Hello Group,

I'm still a bit new to T-SQL and am wondering how to get various LOWEST values from a table, rather than TOP values. There does not appear to be a keyword opposite of TOP in T-SQL.

My real problem is this: I know how to get the 2nd highest value, third highest value, etc...but how does one get the 2nd lowest value, third lowest value, etc?

Would anyone be able to help?

Thanks!!

Transact SQL :: Difference Between Inner Join And Left Outer Join In Multi-table Joins?

Oct 8, 2015

I was writing a query using both left outer join and inner join.  And the query was ....

SELECT
        S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname
FROM
        Production.Suppliers AS S LEFT OUTER JOIN
        (Production.Products AS P
         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
        S.companyname AS supplier, S.country,P.productid, P.productname, P.unitprice,C.categoryname
FROM
        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.

'Left Outer Merge Join' Failing To Join Valid Row

Aug 10, 2007

Scenario:

OLEDB source 1
SELECT ...
,[MANUAL DCD ID] <-- this column set to sort order = 1

OLEDB source 2
SELECT ...
,[Bo Tkt Num] <-- this column set to sort order = 1
...
FROM ....[dbo].[FFFenics] ORDER BY [Bo Tkt Num] ASC

These two tasks are followed immediately by a MERGE JOIN

All columns in source1 are ticked, all column in source2 are ticked, join key is shown above.
join type is left outer join (source 1 -> source 2)

result of source1 (..dcd column)
...

All other rows are joining as expected.

Multi-table JOIN Query With More Than One JOIN Statement

Apr 14, 2015

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.

Merge Join (Full Outer Join) Never Finishes.

Jun 5, 2006

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?

Why Does My Query Timeout Unless Force Join To Hash Join?

Jul 25, 2007

I'm using SQL Server 2005.



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?



Thanks,

john

Changing From Implicit Join To Explicit Join

Dec 24, 2013

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.

Below is my Implict join query

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 , #RIF_TEMP0 prevrow

[Code] ....

and below is explict join query

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.

How To Join 3 Tables Using Left Or Right Join Keyword?

Aug 17, 2007

Hi guys,

I'll appreciate any help with the following problem:

I need to retrieve data from 3 tables. 2 master tables and 1 transaction table.

1. Master table TBLOC contain 2 records :
rcd 1. S01
rcd 2. S02

2. Master table TBCODE contain 5 records:

rcd 1. C1
rcd 2. C2
rcd 3. C3
rcd 4. C4
rcd 5. C5

3. Transaction table TBITEM contain 4 records which link to 2 master table:
rcd 1. S01, C1, CAR

rcd 2. S01, C4, TOY
rcd 3. S01, C5, KEY
rcd 4. S02, C2, CAR



I use Left Join & Right Join to retrieve result below (using non-ASNI method) but it doesn't work.

Right Join method:


SELECT C.LOC, B.CODE, A.ITEM FROM TBITEM A RIGHT JOIN TBCODE B ON A.CODE = B.CODE

RIGHT JOIN TBLOC C ON A.LOC = C.LOC

GROUP BY C.LOC, B.CODE, A.ITEM ORDER BY C.LOC, B.CODE



When I use Non-ASNI method it work:



SELECT C.LOC, B.CODE, A.ITEM FROM TBITEM A, TBCODE B, TBLOC C

WHERE A.CODE =* B.CODE AND A.LOC =* C.LOC

GROUP BY C.LOC, B.CODE, A.ITEM ORDER BY C.LOC, B.CODE

Result:

LOC CODE ITEM

S01 C1 NULL
S01 C2 NULL
S01 C3 CAR
S01 C4 TOY
S01 C5 KEY
S02 C1 NULL
S02 C2 CAR
S02 C3 NULL
S02 C4 NULL
S02 C5 NULL


Please Help.

Thanks.

Super Join - Is Merge Join The Answer?

Nov 7, 2006

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

But how to do this in SSIS?

Within The INNER JOIN, How To Limit The Row To 1 Row Inside The INNER JOIN?

There is a table called "tblvZipCodes" that contain a zipcode of all cities, area code that are located in that zip code.

SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.tblPurchaseRaw.Year, dbo.tblPurchaseRaw.Make, dbo.tblPurchaseRaw.Model, dbo.tblPurchaseRaw.ModelType,

Hi,Just curious. Would you use ANSI style table joining or the 'oldfashion' table joining; especially if performance is the main concern?What I meant is illustrated below:ANSI Styleselect * from a join b on a.id = b.idOld Styleselect * from a, b where a.id = b.idI noticed that in some SQL, the ANSI is much faster but sometimes, theold style looks much better.It's ridiculous to try out both styles to see which is better wheneverwe want to write an SQL statement.Please comment.Thanks in advance.

Self Join Outer Join Question

Oct 10, 2007

Given a table of building components e.g. floors, walls, etc, etc:

create table component_multiplier_table
(

system_code char(4),
system_component_code char(3),
function_code char(4),
component_multiplier dec(7,6)
)

Where function_code is the function of the area e.g. Auditorium, Classrom, etc, etc. And not all components are available for all functions e.g. Carpeting is available for Classrooms but not Power Plants or Warehouses.

I need to self join the above table to itself on system_code and system_component_code and find out which rows are missing from each side.

A query that I've been banging away at with no success is:

SELECT c1.*, c2.*
FROM [dbo].[component_multiplier_table] c1 FULL OUTER JOIN [dbo].[component_multiplier_table] c2
ON (c1.system_component_code = c2.system_component_code) AND (c1.[system_code] = c2.[system_code])
WHERE c1.function_code = '2120' AND c2.[function_code] = '2750' AND (c1.[system_code] IS NULL OR c2.system_code IS NULL);

I added the is null conditions, no joy. I've tried every flavor of outer join w/o success.

Could any T-SQL gurus out there help me figure out how to do this in a set before I start coding

DECLARE crsr CURSOR

Thanks.

Left Join Vs Left Outer Join Syntax Generates Different Execution Plans

Apr 16, 2008



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.

SQL-92 Outer Join Vs T-SQL Outer Join (6.5 Or 7.0) - Test Script Included

Apr 26, 2002

Take the following scenario:

We have two tables that have somewhat of a parent-child relationship. We are trying to use a SQL-92 outer join that returns the same results as a TSQL *= outer join. The difficulty we are having is that some of the parent records do not have any corresponding child records, but we still want to see those parent records with 0 (zero) for the count. How can we accomplish this with a SQL-92 compliant join (if it is even possible)? In the query results below, we would like the first set of results.

Thanks in advance for any help.
