IN Operation That Matches ALL Instead Of ANY?
Mar 25, 2008A standard IN operation is like doing a series of OR statements in your WHERE clause. Is there anything like an IN statement that is like using a series of AND statements instead?
I tried looking into the ALL operator but that didn't seem to do it or else I just couldn't figure out how to use it correctly.

Near Exact Matches, Help Needed
Oct 18, 2005I'm currently working on a match function to compare two char based columns in differnet tables to create a join.
In this particular case, I'm using a few different approaches to create a higher match ratio, as typos do happen.
For instance I use a join function using convert(char(10), tbla.field) = convert(char(10), tblb.field) to match only using the first 10 characters, as a lot of records have different endings, but are in fact the same.
Are there any other ways I could attempt to make matches? I was wondering if there was a dedicated string comparison operation giving me a percentage feedback. Debut joining dbut would give an 80% match, and thus I would leave it up to the user to decide to minimum match requirements.
Thanks in advance
How To Count Matches Between Two Tables?
Nov 24, 2007Hello. I'm quite new to SQL so have included as many details as i can think of here. The scenario is a wordsearch style puzzle. The user can select their answers in any order and these answers are stored in a table. I need help with the UPDATE statement to compare the users answers against the correct answers for that puzzle.
(Note: In the actual scenario there will be 10-15 answers per grid, but i have reduced the number to make testing easier - hopefully the code for a working UPDATE statement will be scalable to account for grids with different numbers of answers etc.)
The Tables:
-- These are the correct answers for a given grid (gridid).
-- Due to the nature of the puzzle, answers can be in any order.
-- Each level may contain one,two,or no 'bonusanswers' which are harder to find, so these are scored separately so bonus points can be awarded.
CREATE TABLE correctanswers
(
gridid smallint IDENTITY(1,1)PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
answer1 char(15),
answer2 char(15),
bonusanswer1 char(15),
bonusanswer2 char(15)
)
-- These are the user submitted set of answers 'answerid' for level 'gridid'.
-- Answers may be submitted in any order.
CREATE TABLE useranswers
(
answerid smallint IDENTITY(1,1)PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
gridid smallint,
firstanswer char(15),
secondanswer char(15),
thirdanswer char(15),
fourthanswer char(15),
)
-- A user (userid) submits their answers which get stored as answerid.
-- This table shows the scores for each set of answerid's the user has submitted.
-- A high score table for both the individual user, and all users may be created using this table.
CREATE TABLE userscores
(
userid smallint,
answerid smallint,
mainmatches smallint,
bonusmatches smallint
)
The Test Data:
-- sample test data
-- 2 users userid's '1' and '2' each have two goes on level1 (gridid 1)
-- correct answers for gridid 1
INSERT INTO correctanswers (answer1, answer2, bonusanswer1, bonusanswer2) VALUES ('cat','dog','rabbit','elephant')
-- user submitted answers for gridid 1
INSERT INTO useranswers (gridid, firstanswer, secondanswer, thirdanswer, fourthanswer) VALUES (1,'dog','rabbit','horse','cow')
INSERT INTO useranswers (gridid, firstanswer, secondanswer, thirdanswer, fourthanswer) VALUES (1,'dog','cat','elephant','horse')
INSERT INTO useranswers (gridid, firstanswer, secondanswer, thirdanswer, fourthanswer) VALUES (1,'rabbit','cat','elephant','donkey')
INSERT INTO useranswers (gridid, firstanswer, secondanswer, thirdanswer, fourthanswer) VALUES (1,'horse','cat','dog','sheep')
-- scores for users attempts - columns 3 and 4 needs calculating
INSERT INTO userscores VALUES (1,1,null,null) -- one main answer and one bonus answer, so null,null should be 1,1
INSERT INTO userscores VALUES (1,2,null,null) -- two main answers and one bonus answer, so null,null should be 2,1
INSERT INTO userscores VALUES (2,3,null,null) -- one main answer and two bonus answers, so null,null should be 1,2
INSERT INTO userscores VALUES (2,4,null,null) -- two main answers and no bonus answers, so null,null should be 2,0
I have included the correct new table values for the sample data - basically filling in the two null fields in the 'userscores' table.
I haven't used SQL much but from the little i know then i think the answer will include JOIN, COUNT and IN statements as part of the UPDATE statement...but i haven't a clue where to start with the order/logic etc.
I have looked for sample solutions myself but all the examples i have found so far are to do with exact matches between two tables, whereas in my scenario i need to know how many matches, irrelevant of the order.
Many thanks.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCount Not Retunring A ZERO When Not Matches Are Found
Sep 13, 2005I am pretty new to writing my own queries in SQL and am tied to Access unfortunately. Here is my query as it stands:
SELECT Count(*) AS COUNT_ACT_2_ATTEND
FROM [Main Table]
WHERE ((([Main Table].ACT_2_ATTEND)="Always" Or ([Main Table].ACT_2_ATTEND)="Frequently" Or ([Main Table].ACT_2_ATTEND)="Sometimes" Or ([Main Table].ACT_2_ATTEND)="Never" Or ([Main Table].ACT_2_ATTEND)="N/A"))
GROUP BY [Main Table].ACT_2_ATTEND;
However, if there is not match it won't retun a zero, it just returns no result and so I cannot tell which counts correspond to which matches
Does that makes sense?
Lookup Transform With Multiple Matches
Aug 3, 2007Please indulge my ignorance, as I have only been using SSIS for a couple of weeks.
I'm trying to create a data warehouse using two input tables.
A column needs to be added to one table by using a lookup into the second table.
SSIS seems to handle the "no matches" and "single match" cases perfectly.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to properly handle multiple matches.
SSIS defaults to the first match, but I need to compute the "best" match.
Many thanks in advance

Count Need To Bring Back A Zero When No Matches
Sep 13, 2007I am trying to do a calculation with the below query and it works long as d.closegoal has values and d1.opengoal has values but the problem is when there is no count for either, I need to bring back a value of zero if there are no matches.

This is my code:

Inner Join Matches Non-equal Fields??????
Jun 13, 2006Hi group,
This morning we had an issue with a simple join between 2 tables e.g. table1 and table2.
Both tables have 1 column called 'fielda' with datatype varchar.
Let's assume the following values:
Table1:
hello
Hello
Table2:
hello
This statement joins the tables:
select a.fielda
from table1 a inner join table2 b on a.fielda = b.fielda
It returns:
hello
Hello
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
What the $#@#$
Why doesn't it return 1 value:
hello
Any ideas?
The outcome is exactly what we want but I would expected to have to use the following:
select a.fielda
from table1 a inner join table2 b on UPPER(a.fielda) = UPPER(b.fielda)
What if I wanted to return all EXACT matches? Then what? Change collation?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Table Compare - Getting False Matches
Mar 26, 2014I have two tables I am trying to compare as I have created a new procedure to replace an old one and want to check if the new procedure produces similar results.
The problem is that when I run my compare I get false matches. Example:
CREATE TABLE #ABC (Acct VARCHAR(10), Que INT);
INSERT INTO #ABC VALUES
('2310947',110),
('2310947',245);
[Code] ....
Which gives me two records when I really do not want any as the tables are identical.
How Do I SELECT A Column That STRICTLY Matches A List
Jun 8, 2007Hello there,
I have the following table:
ROOMTYPE AMENITY
========= =======
R001 1
R001 2
R001 3
R002 1
R002 2
R002 4
R003 1
Let's say I want to get the ROOMTYPE which contains AMENITY 1,2,4 only.
If I do this:
SELECT ROOMTYPE FROM TABLE WHERE AMENITY IN (1,2,4)
I get all the 3 RoomTypes because the IN acts like an OR but I want to get the column which contains ALL of the items in the list, i.e I want the ROOMTYPE that has ALL of the 1,2,4 but not just 1 or 1,2, etc...In this case, I want only R002 to be returned because the other RoomTypes do not contain all of the 1,2,4
NOTE: The data and list above is an example only as the table contents as well as the list will change over due course. e.g. the list can be (2,6,8,10,20,..100) etc.. So, I would need a query which can cater for any list contents...(x,y,z,...) and the query should return me the RoomTypes which have ALL elements in that particular list. If one of the RoomTypes do not have an element, it should NOT be returned.
Can anyone help me on this?

Multi-Select On List View - Return InstructorID Where ClassID Matches All Of ClassIDs In String

I am using this query

For i = 1 To classIDs.Count - 1
assSQL &= " UNION Select InstructorID from ClassInstructors where ClassID = @P" & i.ToString

How Do I Query A Table For Matches With Keywords From Another Table?
Aug 24, 2007This is what I wan to do: If I, for example, have a table containing articles, and I want to allow users to return any article that matches a filter, which is defined by any number of keywords, located in another table.
My tables:
Article table: [ArticleID, Headline, Content]
Filter table: [FilterID, Name]
Keyword table: [KeywordID, Word]
FiltersKeywords table: [FilterID, KeywordID]
(The FiltersKeywords table serves as a many-to-many relation table between the Keyword table and the Filter table)
In other words, a filter, which is used to selected articles with, can be made up of any number of keywords. The users would thus be able to build on the filters, adding new keywords as time goes, removing old none relevant etc. I suspect some filters could end having anywhere from 100 to 1000 keywords associated with them.
Using SQL 2005, is there anyway to query for articles in an efficient manner? How would the code look?
Thanks, Egil.
Update Table Where It Matches Criteria From Another Table
