I have a database that contains a PERSONNEL table, a VISIT table, and a STARSHIP table.
I am trying to generate a single column list of the personnel that are from Vulcan (PERSONNEL.PLANET) and all starships that have visited Vulcan (VISIT.PLANET). VISIT.SHIP and STARSHIP.REGISTRY columns contain the ships identifiers. How would I accomplish this? I am just beginning sql so please be nice ;)
I have came across a situation - When there are no indices on the tables and if we force SQL server to use the "Nested Loop" joins, the query becomes very slow. Since there are no indices then Nested loop join should not be used.
The background for this problem is - Analysis services is sending some query to SQL server while doing the cube processing. SQL server is using Nested loop joins even though there are no indices on any of the tables. Is there any way by which we can force the SQL server/Analysis services not to use Nested loop joins since there are no indices in any of the tables.
i'm running the following code on Ms SQL Server 2000, Query Analyzer to analyze the result of Nested Loop Join.
SET STATISTICS PROFILE ON GO SELECT pdN.ProductID, pdN.ProductName, spN.CompanyName, spN.ContactName FROM dbo.ProductsNew pdN INNER JOIN dbo.SuppliersNew spN ON pdN.SupplierId = spN.SupplierId GO
but the execution plan give me the following result :-
If your prediction join is to a SQL datasource, you can easily write a SQL query which returns a nested table like:
SELECT Predict([Subcategories],2) as [Subcategories] FROM [SubcategoryAssociations] NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN (SELECT (SELECT 'Road Bikes' AS Subcategory UNION SELECT 'Jerseys' AS Subcategory ) AS Subcategories ) AS t
What about if your datasource is a cube? Is there some special MDX syntax similar to the SQL syntax above? Or do you have to utilize the SHAPE/APPEND syntax as follows?
SELECT t.*, $Cluster as ClusterName FROM [MyModel] PREDICTION JOIN SHAPE { select [Measures].[My Measure] on 0, [My Dimension].[My Attribute].[My Attribute].Members on 1 from MyCube } APPEND ( { select [Measures].[Another Measure] on 0, NON EMPTY [My Dimension].[My Attribute].[My Attribute].Members *[Product].[Product].[Product].Members on 1 from MyCube } RELATE [[My Dimension]].[My Attribute]].[My Attribute]].[MEMBER_CAPTION]]] TO [[My Dimension]].[My Attribute]].[My Attribute]].[MEMBER_CAPTION]]] ) AS [My Nested Table] AS t ON [MyModel].[Product].[Product] = t.[My Nested Table].[[Product]].[Product]].[Product]].[MEMBER_CAPTION]]]
I have this INNER JOIN that is fine to show all possible combinations. But I need to show only rows that have one or more Null values in tbIntersect.
Should I use nested LEFT JOINT? How?
This is the SQL statement: sSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT tbCar100.Car100_ID, tbCar100.Description100 AS [Caractéristique 100], " & _ "tbCar200.Car200_ID, tbCar200.Description200 AS [Caractéristique 200], " & _ "tbCar300.Car300_ID, tbCar300.Description300 AS [Caractéristique 300], " & _ "tbCar400.Car400_ID, tbCar400.Description400 AS [Caractéristique 400], " & _ "tbCar500.Car500_ID, tbCar500.Description500 AS [Caractéristique 500], " & _ "tbCar600.Car600_ID, tbCar600.Description600 AS [Caractéristique 600], " & _ "tbCar700.Car700_ID, tbCar700.Description700 AS [Caractéristique 700], " & _ "tbProducts.Prod_ID, tbProducts.PartNumber AS [Part Number] , tbProducts.Description AS [Description] , tbProducts.DateAdded AS [Date] " & _ "FROM tbProducts INNER JOIN (tbCar700 INNER JOIN (tbCar600 INNER JOIN (tbCar500 INNER JOIN (tbCar400 INNER JOIN (tbCar300 INNER JOIN (tbCar100 INNER JOIN " & _ "(tbCar200 INNER JOIN tbIntersect ON tbCar200.Car200_ID = tbIntersect.Car200_ID) " & _ "ON tbCar100.Car100_ID = tbIntersect.Car100_ID) ON tbCar300.Car300_ID = tbIntersect.Car300_ID) ON tbCar400.Car400_ID = tbIntersect.Car400_ID) ON tbCar500.Car500_ID = tbIntersect.Car500_ID) ON tbCar600.Car600_ID = tbIntersect.Car600_ID) ON tbCar700.Car700_ID = tbIntersect.Car700_ID) ON tbProducts.Prod_ID = tbIntersect.Prod_ID " & _ ";"
Here is the content of the tbIntersect table: Car100_ID Car200_ID Car300_ID Car400_ID Car500_ID Car600_ID Car700_ID Prod_ID ID 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 19 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 20
I need to return the rows that have null data, ex: second row because Prod_ID is NULL and third row because Car300_ID is NULL. In fact I need the data from the other joint tables that correspond to these ID fields.
i have been trying to determine which is the most efficient, with regards to speed and efficiency, between a view and a common/nested table expression when used in a join.
i have a query which could be represented as index view or a common table expression, which will then be used to join against another table.
the indexed view will use indexes when performing the join. is there a way to make the common table expression faster than an indexed view?
do i need to nest a query in RS if i want a calculated column to be compared against a multi value variable? It looks like coding WHERE calcd name in (@variable) violates SQL syntax. My select looked like
SELECT ... ,CASE enddate WHEN null then 1 else 0 END calcd name FROM... WHERE ... and calcd name in (@variable)
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.
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?
Hi,Please can somone help me with a nested SQL query. I have two tables please see belowTable 1CallIDEmployeeIDCallSummaryCallStatusTable 2CallHistoryIDCallIDDataAddedCallActionI would like to return the CallID, EmployeeID, CallSummary and CallStatus from Table 1, and also display the last CallAction from Table 2.This is a helpdesk database so a Call will have many CallActions i.e. Open, Held, Assigned Internal. How do I return the last CallAction Added against the selected CallID, I know I use the DateAdded but not sure about nested statements.The results I would like to return to the user would look like this:-Call ID: 1EmployeeID: 1Call Sumary: SQL ProblemCall Status: OpenCall Action (Last Action): Assigned Internal.
I want to write one query which will select multiple distinct records from one table For e:g Lets say in a table i have 3 fields name,tel_no,sex Now i want to list all the records which are distinct in each of these fields like distinct name,distinct address
Important Tables: Product (table of products) --ProductID --ProductName
ProductCategories (Associates a Product with one or more categories) --ProductID --CategoryID
Category (table of categories that a product may fall under) --CategoryID --CategoryName
Information:
Basically I have a product that falls into two categories. Therefore there are two records in the ProcuctCategories Table. I am trying to create a query that will find all products that are in categories 1 & 2.
Attempted Solution: SELECT * FROM Product WHERE (ProductID IN (SELECT CategoryID FROM ProductCategories WHERE CategoryID =1)) AND (ProductID IN (SELECT CategoryID FROM ProductCategories WHERE CategoryID =2))
This returned zero records though it should have returned the product that is in categories 1&2.

Hello Everyone,I am trying to create a query for the purpose of a nested repeater relation. The information needs to be pulled from one table. I have shortened the columns to the ones that are required.table - PagesIDPageNameParentPageIDSo, take the following example:ID 14, PageName - Service A, ParentPage ID = 6ID 15, PageName - Service B, ParentPage ID = 6ID 36 PageName - Client 1, ParentPage ID = 14ID 37 PageName - Client 2, ParentPage ID = 14ID 38 PageName - Client 3, ParentPage ID = 15ID 39 PageName - Client 4, ParentPage ID = 15 So, I want to create a query that will get my nested repeater to display as follows:Service A Client 1 Client 2Service B Client 3 Client 4What I have come up with so far is:SELECT * from tbl_Pages WHERE ParentPageID IN (Select ID From tbl_Pages)SELECT p.ParentPageID, p.PageName, p.ID FROM tbl_Pages pThe relation would be based off ParentPageID. I keep getting errors that either there is no unique value or the relation is null. What am I am missing here?

I am trying to write a query that does not use inner joins to see if it returns rows faster than a query using inner joins. My trouble is that I don't know how to write the syntax for the 3rd table that I am comparing against. Can I nest Exists in a Where clause? If so how is the 2nd exists statement added to the query? see my sample query below ================================================== === 'With 2 tables
SELECT DISTINCT s1.ID, s1.SITE FROM SITE_TBL s1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM DEVICE_TBL d1 WHERE s1.ID = d1.SITE_ID AND d1.DELETEFLAG <> 'D') ORDER BY SITE
'with 3 tables this doesn't work
SELECT DISTINCT s1.ID, s1.SITE FROM SITE_TBL s1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM DEVICE_TBL d1 WHERE s1.ID = d1.SITE_ID AND d1.DELETEFLAG <> 'D') AND (SELECT * FROM BIG_TBL b1 WHERE d1.fqdn = b1.xyz) ORDER BY SITE

Hi, I have the following scenario that I am not sure how to best tackle. Any advice or examples is appreciated.
I am creating a stored proc that requires a code to be passed to it. In return data gathered from 3 different tables will be returned. The big catch is that 1 of the tables resided in a differenct database.
So, here is the data layout.
Database 1, Table 1 contains the following fields: Job, CustID, ShipID, and ShipMethod.
So the first question is how should the stored proc look with an input parameter of "Job" and output of Job, CustID, ShipMethod, ShipID, Address, City, State, Zip, and CustomerName?
Secondly, which database should the stored proc reside?
Again, any advise, suggestions, pointers, etc. are appreciated.
Can anybody please tell me if a query such as this (Valid in MS Access) can work in SQL Server:
SELECT Description, Sum(Total) FROM ( SELECT Description, Total FROM Table_A UNION ALL SELECT Description, Total FROM Table_B UNION ALL SELECT Description, Total FROM Table_C ) GROUP BY Description
The group of unions work by themselves, but when I try to nest an outer query to do some a Summation(), I have syntax errors.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
SELECT SUM (dbo.HOLDING.Shares_Par_Value_Qty * dbo.ASSET.Current_Prc) AS MarketValue FROM dbo.HOLDING INNER JOIN dbo.ASSET ON dbo.HOLDING.Property_Num = dbo.ASSET.Property_Num Group by dbo.HOLDING.Account_ID
Account_ID is the same in both the queries ie in both the tables Holding and Account.
I need the output like this
Select Account_Id, Branch_Cd, MarketValue from -------
But MarketValue should be calculated exactly in the above method. How do I combine these two queries. I need it asap. Help me out.
I have the following result set #1 from the query below. As you can see, there are four different provider roles and four different physicians listed for the same case (acctnum). Is there a way I could add a nested select (or other method) which would allow me to list this case as one line item to appear in the manner of result set #2?

How to configure sqldatadapter with query like "select name ,id from tlb1 where id in (select id from tlb2 where dept=@dept)" Is the nested subquery is not allowed while configuring sqldaadapter? Swati
I need to create a query to list all the subfolders within a folder.
I have a database table that lists the usual properties of each of the folder.
I have another database table that has two columns
1. Parent folder 2. Child folder
But this table maintains the parent child relationship only to one level.
For example if i have a folder X that has a subfolder Y and Z. And Y has subfolders A and B. and B has subfolder C and D and C has subfolder E and F
The database table will look like
parentfolder child folder X Y X Z Y A Y B B C B D C E C F
I want to write a query which will take a folder name as the input and will provide me a list of all the folders and subfolders under it. The query should be based on the table (parent - child) and there should not be any restriction on the subfolder levels to search and report for.
I have been banging my head to do this but i have failed so far. Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
I'd appreciate some help with the issue below - my SQL is a bit rusty and was never that hot to be frank. I'm using SQL Server 2000 (although have a test box with 2005 Express also). I've trawled MSDN and a few forums but can't find the solution (maybe I don't know what I'mm looking for!), so any help would be marvellous...
I have a table with a field called 'IRV' containing a string of comma-separated values. I want to be able to query a point in that string and count the number of times a given value appears. So...as an example, I want to count how many times '1' appears at position 7 in the IRV. I can create SQL to do this as follows:
SELECT COUNT(X) AS is1 FROM myIRVtable WHERE (SUBSTRING(IRV, 7, 1) = '1')
So far so good. However, it is also possible that the value at position 7 in this string could be '2' (or '3', or '4', etc) - and rather than re-running the query again and again to get these values, I'd like to do it in one hit.
How can I combine all this together - anyone have any brilliant solutions?
I have a table that refers to itself, and I need to loop through it to get the total number of entries in the structure with an object_type of 40 this is the function I came up with to do this. The problem is that the nested function doesn't seem to get called.

I am trying to limit a result set by ROW_NUMBER. However, I am having problems getting it working.
The following query works fine, and I get a result set with PollID, AddedDate and RowNum columns.
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Results.AddedDate DESC) AS RowNum FROM
( SELECT DISTINCT p.PollID, p.AddedDate
FROM vw_vs_PollsWithVoteCount p
JOIN vs_PollOptions o ON p.PollID = o.PollID
) AS Results
However, as soon as I add a WHERE condition:
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Results.AddedDate DESC) AS RowNum FROM
( SELECT DISTINCT p.PollID, p.AddedDate
FROM vw_vs_PollsWithVoteCount p
JOIN vs_PollOptions o ON p.PollID = o.PollID
) AS Results
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN 1 AND 10
The query fails with an ' Invalid column name 'RowNum' ' error.
I have tried using 'Results.RowNum' but I get the same problem.
I don't understand what the issue is. The result set has a column headed 'RowNum' so why can't I apply a WHERE clause to this column? I can apply WHERE to the PollID column, for example, with no problem.
I have added some SQL to an Access form which updates the dbo_BM_Map table when the user hits the Apply button. There is a temp table with various fields, two being "Chapter_No" and "Initial_Mapping_Complete" which the update is based on.
I want this update to only apply to chapters that only have one name in the "Initial_Mapping_Complete" column. If a chapter has more than one then the update should ignore it. The attached screengrab shows you. The update should ignore chapter 19 as there are two people (Jim and James) in the Initial_Mapping_Complete field. Here is my code.
pdate dbo_BM_Map inner Join Temp_Progression_Populate on dbo_BM_Map.Product_ID = Temp_Progression_Populate.Product_ID Set dbo_BM_Map.Initial_Mapping_Complete = Temp_Progression_Populate.Initial_Mapping_Complete Where dbo_BM_Map.Chapter_No = Temp_Progression_Populate.Chapter_No And Temp_Progression_Populate.Initial_Mapping_Complete in (Select count(Initial_Mapping_Complete), Chapter_No from Temp_Progression_Populate Group by Chapter_No Having Count(Initial_Mapping_Complete) = 1)
