Unable To Join Two Tables Together On Same Field Except Different Data Types
Sep 30, 2013
I am trying to join two tables together, on the same field except they have different data types, see the properties below
Code:
TableCOLUMN_NAMEDATA_TYPECHARACTER MAXIMUM LENGTHCHARACTER OCTET LENGTHCHARACTER SET NAMECOLLATION NAME
1itemClassnvarchar 512 1024 UNICODE Latin1_General_CI_AI
2PGCode varchar 3 3 iso_1 Latin1_General_CI_AS
in the code for the join,
Code:
left join common.dbo.qryPRDGroupDets on CAST(qryData_GB1_ByColumn.itemclass as varchar(3)) = Cast(common.dbo.qryPRDGroupDets.PGCode as varchar(3))
I have tried using the CAST function on one side of the join then on both, to no avail...
help me out , please. i want to join two tables, with some similar columns. using DTS, how do i do it?? i want to automate the process and not just write query.
We have a query that joins column A int which is an int onto column B with contains only int's but was created as a varchar and can't be changed to an int at the moment.
Casting column a as a varchar in the ON of the join to left join seems to void the index altogether and the query just runs for every.
We are talking a few hundred million rows of data in each table.
Temp solution is select into a #Hash table as correct data type and index then use the #Hash table in the join.
I have a table activity which show the activities of the site. An activity could be related with no other entity or it could be related with an account, or with a contact or with an opportunity. An opportunity and a contact could be also related with an account.
My problem is that I need to show the activity and the related account (if there is any) but because the relationship with an account could be done by different ways, I dont know how to do it without join the account table several times.
This is my current query:
SELECT AC.IdActividad, CU.idcuenta FROM Actividades AC LEFT JOIN Tareas TA ON TA.IdActividad = C.IdActividad LEFT JOIN ActividadesXCuenta AXC ON AC.IdActividad = AXC.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU ON axc.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta LEFT JOIN dbo.ActividadesXOportunidad axo ON AC.IdActividad = axo.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Oportunidades o ON axo.IdOportunidad = o.IdOportunidad LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU1 ON o.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta LEFT JOIN dbo.ActividadesXContacto axco ON AC.IdActividad = axco.IdActividad LEFT JOIN dbo.Contactos con ON axco.IdContacto = con.IdContacto LEFT JOIN dbo.Cuentas CU2 ON o.IdCuenta = CU.IdCuenta
As you see, I have the table Cuenta joined 3 times. That means that I need to put the ActivityID field 3 times but based on how the report was developed, I could not do that.
I have a sql query that I am using to populate a datagrid. The problem is one of the tables is a month table. and the other tables are full of data. So there is no common column name to match using a inner join "on".
I have a requirement of creating nested tables in SQL server. how to create them. Just to give a background I am trying to move the RDBMS from oracle to SQL server.
Structure of tables is as follows. I have table 'Employees' with address as one of the column. I have one more table with columns Street, Town, Dist, State. When I query the table 'Employees' I should see the attribute name and values of all the columns in address table in address column.
Employees: with columns: ID, FirstName, LastName, dept, gender, dob, address
Address (Nested table): with columns : Street, Town, Dist, State
This was done in oracle using Nested tables and user defined data types. what is alternative for this in SQL server. How can I achive this requirement in SQL server.
I have a table of "applicants" with unique applicant id and another table "reviews" with reviews which has unique id and Emplid and contains general program name like Math and then may contain 3 addition rows for specific program like Calculus, algebra, geometry etc.
There may or may not be a record for each applicant id in table reviews or there can be 1 or more than one record in reviews based on level of review( General or Specific).
All the general reviews has “Math” as Program_code but if there are more reviews, they can have Program_code like “Cal” , “Abr”, “Geo”
I want to join the tables so I can get all the records from both the tables where Program_code in reviews table is “Math” only.
That is I want to join the table and get all the records from reviews table where the program_code is “Math” only How can I do that?
I have Two Database that exist on Two seperate servers. The two database contain same schema and contains tables and columns of same name. Some tables have slight differences in terms of data types or Data type lenght.
For example if a Table on ServerA has a column named - CustomerSale with Varchar (100, Null) and a table on ServerB has a column named CustomerSale with Varchar (60, Null), how can i find if other columns have similar differences in all tables with the same name and columns in the two servers.
I am using SQL Server 2005. And the Two Servers are Linked Servers
What Script can i use to accomplish this task. Thanks
I have a indexing problem. I have a sequence that needs to has a index number. I want to use a table data type and have a working sample BUT I cannot reseed the table when needed. How do I do this.
This works only for the first ExitCoilID then I need to RESEED.
I am able to use user data types for creating local temporally tables in store procedures, but I receive an error at run-time about the user data type.
Msg 2715, Level 16, State 7, Procedure SP_SAMPLE_TEST, Line 4 Column, parameter, or variable #1: Cannot find data type D_ORDER_NUMBER.
The same user data type is used as parameters in several other store procedures, and they work perfect. It is also used in several table definitions.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance to any one who can help me with this problem.

Im exporting an ms-excel file, then I use a lookup transformation to get a field from a SQL Server 2005 table. The Lookup transformation editor, after selecting the table, shows a warning that says:
at least one mapping between a column from available input columns ans a column from available lookup columns must be defined on the columns page.
So I try to make a relationship in the Lookup transformation editor's column tab where I find the Available input columns and the available lookup columns but I get the following error:
The following columns cannot be mapped: [Department, DEP_CLEGALCODE] One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
The field in SLQ Server is varchar(10) and the input field is a derived column transformation; I have tried different Data Types but I always have the same error.
The DataFlow is: ExcelSource --> Derived Column --> Lookup --> Flat file destination
I have a datatable : Data_Table and a look up table: Lk_table. Myfield that I use in Inner Join is defined in both the data and look table.
So I build my query like this:
SELECT * FROM dbo. Data_Table INNER JOIN
dbo. Lk_table ON dbo.Data_Table.MyField = dbo.Lk_table.Myfield
The pb, sometimes I have myfield still with its default null value in the datatable: Data_Table. So, I end up getting 0 record when I execute the query shown above.
How do I turn that around so that even if myfield in Data_Table is Null, I still get the records from Data_Table. (I don t want a set of records including all possible values from the look up table: Lk_Table)
BrokersCode BrokerName 100 John 101 muller 102 ABC
Now my requirement is to show broker Name (John, Muller, ABC) against their codes in table Booking. i tried with left outer join, but this is not working after join in result it shows more rows in booking table as original. (No of records in booking table should be same after join as before, the thing is only to show brokers names) .
I'm pulling data from XML into tables, but I'm unsure how to link the data after it's imported. This example has names and tasks, and I can pull the data into two tables, but I can't find any way to link the task to the appropriate person. My person and task tables populate without issue, but there's nothing I can find to link the rows together. So in this example Test 1 would go to the first two Tasks and Test 2 would go to the second two work items.
I have a problem...I have two tables, patient_tran and patient_plan. Patient_tran has case_entry_date and patient_id,patient_plan has patient_id, plan_Id, plan_eff_date and plan_term_date. I need to join these two tables and get the patient_id, plan_id but the plan_id should be the plan_id where the entry_date falls between plan_eff_date and plan_term_date. If doesn't match the criteria then pick up the plan_id where the plan_term_date is null, if there's no null plan_term_date then pick up the plan_id with the most recent plan_term_date. In patient_plan table, there's could be more than one plan per patient. How can I do this? Can anyone please help, will be most appreciated.
I have a SQL database that has multiple tables I need to combine for an analytics presentation. The tables are PRODUCTS (contains product information and UPC), STORES (Store number, name and address), DATES (List of dates that data is published on), and DATA (quantity, by store, by UPC, by date). I am trying to combine these so that i have one table with a row for each UPC on each day at each store. Also, I would like to lookup values for year ago quantities at the same store for the same UPC. Is there a way to structure a query to provide all of this information? I know it will be a lot of rows, but I will filter by product prior to pulling the data.
I think the solution requires a subquery in the FROM portion of the statement, but I am not sure how to structure it. Here are the Fields:
Products.UPC, Data.UPC, Data.Store_Num, Stores.StoreNum, Data.StartDate, Dates.DateKey, and finally the reason we are here Data.Qty
Will writes "I have an employees table, which gives all emp. ids. I have a second table, time_log with tasks each employee has logged:
empID date log_time duration etc ===================================
and a 3rd table - a pivot table with a single column named "i" containing consecutive integers from 0 - 1000
I need to know for each date in a series, e.g seven consecutive days, how much time each has logged. easy if everyone has logged a task for every day, but I need to include every day where they have not logged a task.
so, a cartesian join on all the dates in a series(produced using dateadd on p.i and the pivot table)
SELECT dateadd('d',p.i, #02/19/2007#), e.empID FROM pivot1 p, employees e WHERE i<no_dates
However I need to do a left join with time log where the date and employee ids are the same, and I have summed the durations for each date. The following query does this, but does not include dates and times where nothing has been logged.
SELECT empID, log_date, sum(duration) FROM time_log GROUP BY empEIN, log_date
GIVING, EVENTUALLY, ALL DATES AND EMPIDS AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TIME THEY HAVE LOGGED FOR EACH DAY."
Hi, I'm seeing confusing results coming back from a query and I want to make sure my joins are working as expected.
I have 3 tables, tbl_family, tbl_familyPhone, and tbl_phone. tbl_FamilyPhone is a linking table between families and phones that specifies if it's the primary number.
So a family has many familyPhones and a phone has many family phones. I'm trying to get all the families and their home phone only, if they have one. I don't want families to duplicate and I don't want any left out. Here's what I've got
Code Snippet select [whatever]
from tbl_family LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl_familyphone on tbl_family.pk_familyid = tbl_Familyphone.fk_familyid inner JOIN tbl_phone on tbl_familyphone.fk_phoneID = tbl_phone.pk_phoneid and tbl_phone.fk_phonetypeid = 'E6F1688E-015B-481D-8C41-DCC1FEA5D5AB'
My thinking is the inner join between tbl_Phone and tbl_FamilyPhone will cause any FamilyPhone record without a phone record to be left out (fk_phonetypeid is the id of a home phone). Though some FamilyPhone records may be left out, I will not lose any families because it is left outer joined to familyphone. Is this right? Because if I just do select count(*) from families I get 4517 records, but when running the query above with the joins, I get 4383 records.
I have two queries from two different tables ex ABC and BCD. For table ABC, according to my query, I got 11 records ; for table BCD I only got 9 records.
Bottom line: I would like to see only 11 records from Table ABC including certain data from table BCD after I joined this two tables.
However, no matter what I did I always got 99 records when I joined.
I have sql pulling back data from 2 tables (Ticket, Assignment) matching on an ID.
however the Assignment table can have more than 1 record for a matching ID in the Ticket table so is bringing back rows for each of these entries HOWEVER i only want 1 row returned matching on the FIRST record in Assignment table (on earliest DateAssigned field)
Here's my code
SELECT t.TicketID, CreatedByUserID, CreatedForUserID, DateCreated, a.DateAssigned FROM Ticket t INNER JOIN Assignment a ON (SELECT TOP 1 TicketID FROM Assignment WHERE [TicketID] = t.TicketID ORDER BY DateAssigned ASC) = t.TicketID
WHERE (CreatedByUserID NOT IN (SELECT u.UserID FROM Users u INNER JOIN Profiles p ON u.UserID = p.UserID
I am tying to join tables to get the result but it is not showing any data,i have shipping address column in both tables I want to show data in single column I don't know how to display.
select r1.ProductID,r1.ProductName,r1.PMNO ,r.ShippingInfo,r.ShippingAddress ,rs.ShippingAddress from R2InventoryTable r1 inner join RecycleComponents1Table r on r1.ProductID=r.ProductID inner join ReSaleorReStock1Table rs on r1.ProductID=rs.ProductID where r1.HazMat='No' order by ProductID
If I join two tables it is showing data
select r1.ProductID,r1.ProductName,r1.PMNO ,r.ShippingInfo,r.ShippingAddress from R2InventoryTable r1 inner join RecycleComponents1Table r on r1.ProductID=r.ProductID
Does anyone have a clue as to why DT_R4, DT_R8 are not allowed as join columns? This means I cannot join tables on AccountNumbers, InvoiceNumbers, etc. What a pain...
I have two table, tblCharge and tblSentence, for each charge, there are one or more sentences, if I join the two tables together using ChargeID such as: select * from tblCharge c join tblSentence s on c.ChargeID=s.ChargeID , all the sentences for each charge are returned. There is a field called DateCreated in tblSentence, I only want the latest sentence for each charge returned, how can I do this? I tried to create a function to get the latest sentence for a chargeID like the following: select * from tblCharge c join tblSentence s on s.SentenceID=LatestSentenceID(c.ChargeID) but it runs very slow, any idea to improve it? thanks,
How can I change a field type whilst it is populated?
I have tried :
insert new_table select * from old_table
but I get :
Disallowed implicit conversion from datatype 'text' to datatype 'varchar' Table: 'davy.dbo.new_table', Column: 'de_area' Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
My table formats are as follows :
TABLE dbo.new_table ( de_pk int NOT NULL , de_name char (25) NOT NULL , de_area char(255) NULL )
TABLE dbo.new_table ( de_pk int NOT NULL , de_name char (25) NOT NULL , de_area text(16) NULL )
I need to migrate data from one sql database to another. The second DBis a newer version of the "old" database with mostly the same tablesand fieldnames. In order support some reporting queries in the "new"version I needed to change the datatype of a few fields from varchar toint(the data stored was integers already as they were lookup tables).DTS works great except in the cases of about 10 fields which I changedthe datatypes on from varchar to int.DTS seems to drop the data if the fieldname and datatype are not anexact match. Is there any way to use DTS and have it copy data from afield call subsid type varchar to a field call subsid type int?
my query is.. Select j.jobSubject,e.eOrganization ,jv.JobClick,j.jobID from dbo.tbl_Jobs jinner join dbo.tbl_Employer e on e.mId=j.jobCreatedByIDinner join dbo.tbl_JobView jv on jv.JobID=j.jobID order by jv.JobClick desc This query returns 1 to many records
But I need the query should return 0 to many record . .yes I have already know inner join does not handle my problem so plz suggest me which type of join would solve my problem
hi all I am using Local reports(.rdlc files). I have created one Dataset with following Query.
SELECT COUNT(O.ORDERNO),D.DEPARTMENTNAME FROM TFMS_ORDER_REQUESTS O LEFT JOIN TFMS_DEPARTMENT_MASTER D ON D.DEPARTMENTID=O.DEPARTMENTID
GROUP BY D.DEPARTMENTNAME
I have two fields one is COUNT(O.ORDERNO) AND other one is Department name. I have placed these two fields in Report(.rdlc file). When i preview this report i am able to see only Departmentname fields value. But at Count column no data is displaying. I am getting 2 records when i execute this query in Toad. What is the problem. Pls help me.
I am trying to find a reference for a client that lists the fields available to be substituted into a data driven subscription from the query, along with the expected data types. For example, the field on whether or not to include a link to the report seems to be expecting a bit data type.I have searched and can't seem to find anything. I guess I could walk through the interface and try different data types, but if a list exists, that would be better.
