I got a problem with the records returned by inner join query. It is weird as in table a I with records r1, and in table b with records r2 (r1>r2), but the returned record number r3 is greater than r1? That is so strange. As the reasonable records returned should be less than r1?(inner join on attribute a). What probably is the cause of the problem? I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you very much.
Ok maybe someone smarter than me (not difficult) can help me out :)
Two queries:
#1:
select a.load_id, b.attribute_name, a.attribute_loc, b.attribute_loc from PCI_Template_NR_Map b left outer join PCI_Master a on a.attribute_name=b.attribute_name and a.load_id in (select distinct top 53 load_id from PCI_Load')
#2:
select a.load_id, b.attribute_name, a.attribute_loc, b.attribute_loc from PCI_Template_NR_Map b left outer join PCI_Master a on a.attribute_name=b.attribute_name and a.load_id in (select distinct top 54 load_id from PCI_Load')
#1 Produces a correct left outer join, any values in PCI_Template_NR_Map that are not in PCI_Master show null. This works for any number of load_id values in the subselect up to 53.
#2 Is the exact same query, except I am no longer limiting it to 53, when i get to 54 (or if I take away the top altogether) it returns rows as if it were a normal inner join, instead of a left outer join (i.e. it only shows rows that are a match between PCI_Master and PCI_Template_NR_Map).
Can anyone explain to me what is happening here, and how to get around this issue? I need to be able to filter this for as many load_ids as I need (usually aobut 200). Thanks in advance,
The following sproc returns no records in query analyzer, although it doesn't error out either. Last time adding the length to the end of the variable fixed this problem, but this time it's an integer type which doesn't accept a length. Any ideas?

I have a simple report with a group header, details and footer. How do I display a message to inform users when no data is returned when they enter a parameter which returns no records - at the moment my report returns a blank screen, it would be more useful if I could output the following
This simple query is designed to show all members with the same first name as other members. The result I got shows duplicates of existing members an inconsistent number of times even though I specified not to show duplicates with WHERE m1.MemberID <> m2.MemberID

So; if you read my earlier thread here (http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?t=1214353), you'll know that I'm trying to build stored procedures to deal with ticketing queries, and that it's all getting a bit complicated. I have, however, made a bit of progress and now have the following working:

Except... there's two problems with it. One is that it only returns tickets that you've already bought, the other is that it doens't work out correctly how many of those tickets you've bought in past orders.
Both the orders in there are for the same user id: "1". All the tickets in there are tied to event "2".
When I run Exec dbo.getAvailableTickets 2,0,0,0,1, it tells me it's found 6 of ticket 5, 4 of ticket 6 and 12 of ticket 14. And I can't for the life of me figure out how it's calculating it. Any ideas?
And how do i get it to return all tickets regardless of whether you've bought them previously or not?
This is my 1st thread. Hopefully somebody can help me with the full-text serach.
I enabled full text serach on sql server 2k and created a catalog for a table I tried using the following sql statement but it doesn't seem to return any records although I used a like statement and got some records. Can anybody answer why this is so? Thanks!
Select * from table1 where contains (field1, '"ESTATE PLAN"')
The following statement gives the error that multiple records are returned. I am attempting to pick one weight out of a group of three, the three have the same ResidentID and different dates in the table variable @WeightReportRaw. If I hard code the ResidentID, ResidentID = 6, it works fine. The variable @intMonth3 passes in a month number ans dosen't seem to be a problem.
What am I missing, Thanks in advance for any help.
update tblResidentWeightsTemp set FirstWeight =
(select RWeight from @WeightReportRaw as W where ResidentID = W.ResidentID and month(W.RWeightDate) = @intMonth3)
When select this data with an order by like: select test from table_2 order by test The result will be:

2/ Two datasources sorted by ORDER BY clause can give problems in a Merge Join.
If you have 2 data sources both correctly sorted by an order by in the query. When you join these 2 datasources with a Merge Join, you can lose some records in the dataflow. This happens with larger datasets than examples above.
I have a table (edw_sbx_bt.jjenkins_OVERAGE2) of 40,000 MA_NUM. Â
I want to find occurrences of those specific MA_NUM in another table (edw_ar_fl.ARTBASE) with specific attributes (CONTRACT_NUM = '593' and TRANSACT_STATUS_CD = 'D'). Â
When I run the query below it returns 4 million rows. Â How can I write a query that will return the 40,000 MA_NUM (in edw_sbx_bt.jjenkins_OVERAGE2) with the sum total of MA_PAID_AMT associated with each?

I have a function that opens a connection to an SQL database, issues a SELECT command, and reads the records with an OleDbDataReader. As the records are read, any that match certain criteria are deleted with a DELETE command. Simplified example code is shown below:
Dim dbCmd As OleDb.OleDbCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand() dbCmd.Connection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(UserDbConnString) dbCmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [User] ORDER BY UserID" dbCmd.Connection.Open() Dim reader as OleDb.OleDbDataReader = dbCmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) While reader.Read() If reader("SomeColumn") = SomeCalculatedValue Then Dim dbCmd2 As OleDb.OleDbCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand() dbCmd2.Connection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(UserDbConnString) dbCmd2.CommandText = "DELETE FROM [User] WHERE UserID = " + reader("UserID") dbCmd2.Connection.Open() dbCmd2.ExecuteNonQuery() dbCmd2.Connection.Close() End If End While reader.Close()
This code worked well with an MS Access database, but when I changed to SQL Server, I get a database timeout error when attempting to do the DELETE. I suspect the reason is that the connection the reader has open has the record locked so it cannot be deleted.
The SQL connection string I am using is something like this:
UserDbConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Server=(Local); User ID=userid; Password=password; Database=dbname"
The connection string I used for MS Access included the property "Mode=Share Deny None". I wonder if there is some similar way to tell SQL Server to allow editing of records that are open for reading with an OleDbDataReader.
In my database I have an Audit table, that keeps track of teams worked upon the same record in a workflow.I need to find out how many records have been returned to the first team for correction ?The column 'Status' is numbered from 1 to 6 and Column 'EditTime' saves the time when record has been edited.how many records have been returned for correction and identify those records.

I would like to make a listbox only appear if there are results returned by the SQL select statement.

I would like to use sp_send_dbmail, but I only want to send mail if there are any records returned.
I have found some solutions, but you must always first check if there is any record and later you can call "sp_send_dbmail" and within you must again query database for results.
What I want to do is to query database just once, because I dont want to use server performance two times. Query is bit complicated.
In my ASP page, when I select an option from the drop down list, it has to get the records from the database stored procedure. There are around 60,000 records to be fetched. It throws an exception when I select this option. I think the application times out due to the large number of records. Could some tell me how to limit the number of rows to be returned to avoid this problem. Thanks.

When querying a bit field, I am encountering a problem with MS SQLServer returning a larger number of records for a table than theactual number of records that exist within that table.For example, my customer table has 1 million unique records, so theresults of the following query are as such:select count(customer_nbr) from customer = 1,000,000There is bit field in the customer table that denotes whether acustomer has placed an order with us called. That flag is calledorder_flagIf I run the following query:select count(customer_nbr) from customer where order_flag = 1The result is 3,000,000 records.There is no logical way that this is possible, as my table onlycontains 1,000,000 unique records and the number of customers with anorder should be a subset of this.If a run the above query with a distinct before customer number, I getthe results I want:select count(distinct customer_nbr) from customer where order_flag = 1600,000 records.So while I can get to the answer I want, I have no idea why I amreturning incorrect values if I don't select distinct.Can anyone help? I checked microsoft support and message boards buthaven't seen anything.I should note that the bit field is indexed.I am not sure if that isthe problem or not.
I have a strange problem. I have some code that executes a sql query. If I run the query in SQL server query analyzer, I get a set of data returned for me as expected. This is the query listed on lines 3 and 4. I just manually type it into query analyzer. Yet when I run the same query in my code, the result set is slightly different because it is missing some data. I am confused as to what is going on here. Basically to examine the sql result set returned, I write it out to an XML file. (See line 16). Why the data returned is different, I have no idea. Also writing it out to an XML file is the only way I can look at the data. Otherwise looking at it in the debugger is impossible, with the hundreds of tree nodes returned. If someone is able to help me figure this out, I would appreciate it. 1. public DataSet GetMarketList(string region, string marketRegion)2. {3. string sql = @"SELECT a.RealEstMarket FROM MarketMap a, RegionMap b " + 4."WHERE a.RegionCode = b.RegionCode"; 5.

SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); 10. try11. {12. adapter.Fill(dsMarketList); 13.

In order to determine the exact time people had been working in the sections I have to match every record with the record of the successive timestamp I do:
SELECT TIMESTAMP as START, USERID, SECTION, INCIDENCE, MIN(TIME_END) as STOP FROM ( SELECT *, TABLE2.TIMESTAMP as TIME_END FROM TABLE LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE as TABLE2 on TABLE.USERID = TABLE2.USERID and TABLE2.TIMESTAMP > Table.TIMESTAMP and
[Code] ....
How do I get the incidence of the successive timestamp in my query?
The key trick is that I first do a self join which increases the amount of records, including senseless matches from the first timestamp with the last one of that day. Afterwards I group by all columns of TABLE in order to get only the successive timestamp.
But once I include TABLE2.INCIDENCE in the GROUP BY clause, of course the query stops working correctly.
I can't use the TIMESTAMP isself as it is not singular (there are several terminals in the plant); and I prefer not to use Timestamp in combination with Userid, as the userid is actually not stored directly and has to be retrieved through a couple of joined tables. Any smarter way to include a second column once the successive timestamp has been determined.
I've got two tables.. the first table carried a ProductID, and amongst other things a TradePrice
The other tbl carries a ProductID, a IndivPrice and a CustomerID
The second tbl lists prices for products for indiv Customers.
My Query needs to bring back ALL the products from the first tbl...
It also needs to show the TradePrice for that product.
I need to join my query to the second tbl...
And finally, if the second tbl has a price for that product AND the customerID is the same as one I pass into the query.. show that price also..
So here's my first query:
SELECT dbo.Products.ProductID, ProductName, ProductTradePrice, IndivPrice, dbo.Trade_PriceLists.CustomerID AS PLCustomerID FROM dbo.Products LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Trade_PriceLists ON dbo.Products.ProductID = dbo.Trade_PriceLists.ProductID WHERE (ProductType = 'Trade' OR ProductType = 'Both') AND (Replace(Lower(ProductBrand),' ','') = 'brandname') AND (CustomerID IS NULL OR CustomerID = 'teste' OR CustomerID = '') ORDER BY TradeOrder
I thought that would work, but what happens is that, if that particular customer has no indiv prices set.. then it only shows the ones that have no records at all in that second tbl..
So unless there is a record for a particular product in that second tbl and it doesn't have a CustomerID assigned to (which would never happen as that tbl is only every for indiv customer prices) then it doesn't show.
See? - The 2nd product should not get an indiv price as although it's in that second tbl, the customerID assigned to it is different. The 4th product should not get an indiv price as it's not in that second tbl at all.
however, with my query above I'd only get Products 1and 3... and if I did a query on a customer with no indiv prices I'd only get product 4 as it's not in the indiv at all...

I need a bit of help with a join. I have 2 tables :
TradeSummary has fields : SymbolID, CurrentPrice, TotalValue
Trades has fields : SymbolID, TradeID, ExecutionTime, TradeValue
TradeSummary has one entry for each SymbolID, while Trades contains one or more entries per SymbolID
and what I want to retreive is :
For every item in TradeSummary get CurrentPrice, TotalValue from TradeSummary and also get TradeValue from Trades for the record for max(ExecutionTime) tables are joined on TradeSummary.SymbolID = Trades.SymbolID
Every attempt of mine so far returns multiple rows for each SymbolID - I want only one row per SymbolID
I had a problem before of not been able to find the rows with 0 values. I've now managed this although it's brought up duplicate rows due to the discounts been different on the same Mfr_part_number.

So for each subscription there can be 1 or more transactions and 0 or more mailings, and the mailings are not necassarily related to the transactions. What I am having difficulty doing is this:
I wish to select tblMailing.MailingID, tblMailing.MailDate, tblMailing.SubscriptionID (or tblSubscription.SubscriptionID), tblSubscription.SubscriberID, tblSubscription.Status, tblTransaction.TransactionID, tblTransaction.Created, but I only wish to retrieve rows from the transaction table where tblTransaction.Created is the latest dated transaction for that subscription. I.E. (maybe this makes more sense..:) I wish to select all rows from tblMailing along with each mailing's relevent subscription details, including details of the LATEST TRANSACTION for each of those subscriptions.
I am currently working along the lines of MAX(tblTransaction.Created) and possibly GROUP BY in a subquery, but cannot quite figure out the logic.
