Error On [insert Into]...[select From]...[join]

Jul 11, 2005

I want to insert into a table the result of a select which contains a join. Is this possible in any way on mysql 3.23.58?

I tryed the following code (in both ansi 92 and non ansi 92 forms)

insert book_edition (ISBN, book_title, publisher, book_image, author_name)
select i.isbn, i.imageurl, i.author, i.title, i.publisher
from ImportDataUniqueISBN i
left outer join book_edition b
on i.isbn = b.ISBN
where b.ISBN is null

I get the following error:

INSERT TABLE 'book_edition' isn't allowed in FROM table list

If executed without the join statement it works well.

Tks!

Merge Join Vs Insert Then Update: What Is The Best ?

May 8, 2008

Hello,

I have to load 2 flat file of 2 Gb each in a table. I found 2 ways to do that:
- Either I read my 2 file in parallels and I use a merge join transformation to merge my data. Then I load theses datas in my destination table
- Or I insert all my first file in the destination table then I read the second file and update my table with the new information.

Based on your experience, what is the best ? I'm running the first way for more than 30 minutes and SSIS is still sorting my datas.... (sort before the merge join)

Thanks in advance,

Knid regards

Bulk Insert Statement With JOIN !!!

Sep 1, 2007

Hi,

I have two tables. Employees and departments as follows:

Employees
- Name
- Salary
- Department ID


Departments
-Department ID
-Department Name


Now what I am doing is that I am allowing the user to give me a CSV file with all the employees data to bulk insert it in the table Employees as follows:

Employee Name, Salary, Department Name


The problem is that the users know nothing about the department ID. So what they type in the CSV ffile as you can see above is the department name.

The SQL statement I normally use for bulk insert is:


BULK INSERT CAS.dbo.employees
FROM 'c:list.csv' WITH
(FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '' )

My question is, how can I use the same technique but insert the departments IDs not name as in the CSV file.!!!!

Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Left Join Insert Query Error

May 8, 2008

I have been working on this for a little bit and have gotten to this point. Below is the query in blue, the error in red. Now, from what I gather the error is telling me I can't insert a duplicate product code into tblProduct. Isn't that what the left join is exactly not doing, as in, the left join is inserting all records from Complete_records into tblProduct where the code is null(does not exist) in tblProduct? Or, is this an issue where the identity number, productID in tblProduct, isn't starting at the next number in turn?

Thanks.

Set Identity_Insert tblProduct on
DECLARE @MaxId int

SELECT @MaxID=MAX(productID)
FROM tblProduct

SELECT IDENTITY(int,1,1) AS ID,Complete_products.APNum, Complete_products.Title, Complete_products.CategoryID, Complete_products.Mountable, Complete_products.price,
Complete_products.Height, Complete_products.Width, Complete_products.IRank, Complete_products.frameable, Complete_products.Typ INTO #Temp
FROM Complete_products LEFT OUTER JOIN
tblProduct AS tblProduct_1 ON Complete_products.APNum = tblProduct_1.productCode
where tblProduct_1.productCode IS NULL

INSERT INTO tblProduct
(productID,productCode, productName, productNavID, CanBeMounted, productRetailPrice, productHeight, productWidth, Rank, CanBeFramed, ProductType)
SELECT @MaxID + ID, APNum, Title, CategoryID, Mountable, price,

Transact SQL :: Join Same Table And Insert Values In Different Columns

Aug 7, 2015

I would like to compare values in the same table and get the single record with different values in the multiple columns.For table tab1, ID is my key column. If type1 is active (A) then i need to update X else blank on Code1 column and if type2 is active (A) then i need to update X else blank on code2 column. Both type1 and type2 comes from same table for same ID..Below is the example to understand my scenario clearly....

declare @tab1 table (ID varchar(20), dt date, status varchar(1), type varchar(10))
insert into @tab1 values ('55A', '2015-07-30', 'A', 'type1')
insert into @tab1 values ('55A', '2015-07-30', 'C', 'type2')
insert into @tab1 values ('55B', '2015-07-30', 'C', 'type1')
insert into @tab1 values ('55B', '2015-07-30', 'A', 'type2')

SQL Server 2012 :: Set Based Method To Insert Missing Records Into Table - Right Join Not Work

Apr 24, 2014

I have table A (EmployeeNumber, Grouping, Stages)
and
Table B (Grouping, Stages)

Table A could look like the following where the multiple employees could have multiple types and multiple stages.

EmployeeNumber, Type, Stages
100, 1, Stage1
100, 1, Stage2
100, 2, Stage1
100, 2, Stage2
200, 1, Stage1
200, 2, Stage2

Table B is a list of requirements that each employee must have. So every employee must have a type 1 and 2 and the associated stages listed below.

Type, Stage
1, Stage1
1, Stage2
2, Stage1
2, Stage2
2, Stage3
2, Stage4

So I know that each employee should have 2 Type 1's and 4 Type 2's. I hope that makes sense, I'm trying to change my data because ours is very proprietary.

I need to identify employees who do not have all their stages and list the stages they are missing. The final report should only have employees and the associated missing types and stages.

I do a count by employee to see how many types they have to identify the ones that don't have all the types and stages.

My count would look something like this:

EmployeeNumber Type Total
100, 1, 2
100, 2, 2
200, 1, 1
200 1, 2

So I know that employee 100 should have 2 more Type 2's and employee 200 should have 1 more Type 1 and 2 more Type 2's based on the required list.

The problem I'm having is taking that required list and joining to my list of employees with missing data and pulling from it the types and stages that are missing by employee. I thought I could get a list of the employees that are missing information and right join it to the required list where the missing records would be nulls. But, that doesn't work because some employees do have the required information and so I'm not getting any nulls returned.

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)
...
4-400-8000119
4-400-8000120
4-400-8000121
4-400-8000122 <--row not joining

4-400-1000123

4-400-1000125
...

All other rows are joining as expected.
Why is it failing for this one row?

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 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.

Super Join - Is Merge Join The Answer?

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?

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.
