Return NULL Values In SELECT Statement With INNER JOIN ?

How To Return Null Values For Non-exist Record On A Left Join Statement
I have table Products and Orders that has the following columns:

table Products: ProductID, ProductName
table Orders: OrderID, ProductID, OrderDate, Quantity, Price

The Orders table contains orders placed on all the dates. I want to obtain a list of orders for a particular date, if there is no order for a product on the requested date, I want to return null values for the Quantity and Price fields.

I tried the following select statement:

select Products.ProductName, Orders.Quantity, Orders.Price from Products left join Orders on Products.ProductID = Orders.ProductID where Orders.OrderDate = '10/16/2004'


Where, there are a total of three products (A,B,C) in table Products. Product-C has no order on 10/16/2004, but I want it to return :

ProductName / Quantity / Price
Product-A 5 1.89
Product-B 6 2.43
Product-C null null

Obviously, my sql statement won't work becaue the where clause will filter out Product-C.

Could anyone help me figure out how to modify my sql code to get the resultset I want?

Thanks in advance.

Nested Join To Return Only Rows With Null Values From All Tables
 

Hello,

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.

Thanks

Return Select Statement Or Values Using SqlDataSource?
Hello all,
 I have been working with a DetailsView control for the past week and it is a great control, but also lacks on some departments. Anyhow I need to know what the best approach for this scenerio would be?
 I have a SqlDataSource"
 <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlUpsertAffiliateDetails" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:connectionstring %>"

</SelectParameters>
<UpdateParameters>

 And my SP:/* 09-19-07 Used to update affiliate profile */

CREATE PROCEDURE spUpsertAffiliateProfile

@AffiliateId int,
@MemberId int = -1,
@CategoryId int,
@WebAddress varchar(50),

SET NOCOUNT ON

-- Find errors first, check is not needed if deleting
IF @Action <> 3

RETURN
END


IF @Action = 1 AND @AffiliateId = 0-- insert

GO

 My question is how will I be able to return the retval? Will I need to do it within the code behind of the SqlDataSource Updated Event?
 Thanks!

Overloading Select Statement Return Values
Hey guys,

This is what I think and hope is a fairly straight forward SQL question

Essentially, I have a table which has the following columns that are relevent to my question:

PROJID
ACTIVITY_NAME
COMPLETION_DATE

Rows in this table are, for example:

PROJID    ACTIVITY_NAME    COMPLETION_DATE
1              Prepro                   10/12/2007 3:42:30
2              Prepro                   10/13/2007 9:16:27
2              QA                        10/13/2007 10:00:01
2              Delivery                  10/14/2007 09:31:12
etc.

So, really the key is the PROJID & the ACTIVITY_NAME (really, there's a unique column ID, but for this question, I'll leave it at that).

(Though this should be much easier to accomplish in code, the system is not built that way so) Is there a good way that I could return a status for a given PROJID based on whether a row exists for a given PROJID).  In other words, ultimately, I would like to return something like this:

PROJID    LAST_ACTIVITY
----------------------------------------------
1              Prepro
2              Delivery

where the activity order (in this case) is Prepro, QA, Delivery.  So because a Delivery row exists for PROJID 2, then the LAST_ACTIVITY would return "Delivery" and because only Prepro exists for PROJID 1, the LAST_ACTIVITY returned would be Prepro

I really appreciate the help

Thanks,
Steve

Help With A Join To Return Unique Values
Hi 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

thanks in advance

How To Write A Query To Return Null For Non-exist Record In An Outer Join.
I have two tables:

1. tblProducts
columns: ProductID, ProductName

2. tblProductCodes
columns: ProductID, CustomerID, ProductCode

The 2nd table is for storing product codes for customers, in other words, one product can have different ProductCode for different customers. But some customers do not have ProductCode for a ProductID.

I want to create a query to return all the Products and its ProductCode (null is valid) for a specific customer.

I tried:

SELECT dbo.tblProductCodes.ProductCode, dbo.tblProductCodes.CustomerID,
dbo.tblProducts.ProductName,
dbo.tblProducts.ProductID
FROM dbo.tblProducts LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.tblProductCodes ON dbo.tblProducts.ProductID = dbo.tblProductCodes.ProductID
WHERE dbo.tblProductCodes.CustomerID = 2

But the query left out all products that does not have ProductCode value in tblProductCodes table for CustomerID = 2. I want all the ProductName returned from query and render null or empty string for ProductCode value if the code does not exist in tblProductCodes table for the customer.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Select Does Not Return Values
I am new to SQL and I am trouble-shooting a problem with a home-grown app someone else wrote using PERL. It has a web interface with names of boards. I found the program where i need to add the board names into and did that. The new board names show up in the drop-down list in the Web page for the app. Alerts are sent to the new board names and show up on the new boards. Users are granted access to the new boards and they can clear items off the new boards. Yet when i try to use a report function for the new boards i added, nothing is returned. I even ran a simple SQl select statement specifying the new board names and nothing is returned. The older board names, some of which i added myself, return values. I don't know what is going on. Any help is appreciated.

Problem that i am incountering is that when i run SELECT statment as it is right now, i dont get back results which match search parameters but have NULL value in one or more column in select statment. How can i fix this problem?
 

SELECT Person2role.person2roleID,Person.firstname, Person.lastname, Person.sex

FROM Person LEFT OUTER JOIN

Person2Role ON Person.personID = Person2Role.personID

WHERE (Person.firstname LIKE '%' + ISNULL(@firstname + '%', ''))

Won't Select Rows With Null Field Values
I cannot in the life of me understand what goes wrong here... In a webapplication (C#.NET) I traced an inability to retrieve existing records to SQL Server, where I cannot do the same either. The problem is that in the parameterized query, some fields can be null, and thus when the corresponding fields in the database record are null also, they should be selected. But this won't happen for some reason.

I wrote a test SQL statement that gives me the same bogus:

DECLARE @institution int, @collection int, @serialnr int, @subnr nvarchar(50)SET @institution = 1 SET @collection = 1SET @serialnr = 240 SET @subnr = NULLSELECT     ID, Institution, Collection, SerialNumber, SubNumber, AccessionYear, Sagsnummer, DanekraeNr, TaxonIdentified, Stratigraphy, TypeStatus,                       PlacementRoom, PlacementCabinet, PlacementDrawer, UnitNotesFROM         SpecimensWHERE   (Institution = @institution)         AND (Collection = @collection)         AND (SerialNumber = @serialnr)         AND (SubNumber = @subnr)
Now there is at least one row with corresponding fields values (1, 1, 240, null), but it won't be selected! What is wrong!?

Can I use an EXISTS clause somewhere totest if x3 is null without having to have a 3rd SELECT statement?There's probably a very simple solution to do this, but I didn't findit.Thanks

Return Variable Name As Part Of Select Statement.
hey all,

I have the following query:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SelectMostRecentArticle]

AS
BEGIN

DECLARE @article_id INT
SELECT @article_id = (
SELECT TOP 1 article_id
FROM article
ORDER BY article_id DESC
)

DECLARE @comment_count INT
SELECT @comment_count = (
SELECT COUNT(comment_id)
FROM comment
JOIN article ON article_id = comment_article_id
GROUP BY article_id
HAVING article_id = @article_id
)


SELECT TOP 1 article_id, article_author_id,
article_title, article_body, article_post_date,
article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_id
article_author_ip, author_display_name,
category_id, category_name--, comment_count AS @comment_count

FROM article

JOIN author ON author_id = article_author_id
JOIN category ON category_id = article_category_id

GROUP BY article_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date,
article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_ip,article_author_id,
author_display_name, category_id, category_name

HAVING article_id = @article_id

END
GO

as you can see, im trying to return a comment_count value, but the only way I can do this is by defining the variable.

I have had to do it this way, because I cannot say COUNT(comment.comment_id) AS comment_count or it returns an error that it cant reference the comment.comment_id.

But when change it to FROM article, comment; I get errors about the article_author_id and article_comment_id.

And i cant add a join, because it would return the amount of rows of the comment...

unless someone could help with what i Just decribed (as i would prefer to do it this way), how would i return the variable value as part of the select statement?

Cheers

Exclude NULL-Values Directly From ADSI-SELECT
Hi all,

 

is it possible to exclude empty records from an ADSI QuerySelect?

 

I got a query like

 


Code SnippetSELECT objectGUID FROM OpenQuery(ADSI, 'SELECT objectGUID FROM ''LDAP://DC=whatever,DC=domain,DC=org'' where objectClass = ''User'' AND objectCategory = ''Person''')

 

 and would like to have it like

 


Code Snippet

SELECT objectGUID FROM OpenQuery(ADSI, 'SELECT objectGUID FROM ''LDAP://DC=whatever,DC=domain,DC=org'' where objectClass = ''User'' AND objectCategory = ''Person'' AND homeDirectory IS NOT NULL') 

or


Code SnippetSELECT objectGUID FROM OpenQuery(ADSI, 'SELECT objectGUID FROM ''LDAP://DC=whatever,DC=domain,DC=org'' where objectClass = ''User'' AND objectCategory = ''Person'' AND NOT(homeDirectory = NULL) ')

 

The problem is that I can only perform a query like

 


Code SnippetSELECT objectGUID FROM OpenQuery(ADSI, 'SELECT objectGUID FROM ''LDAP://DC=whatever,DC=domain,DC=org'' where objectClass = ''User'' AND objectCategory = ''Person'' AND NOT(homeDirectory = '''')')

 

which results in the error

"Could not fetch a row from OLE DB provider 'ADSDSOObject'."

 

There are many objects which do have a homedirectory, though, and therefore should be fetched.

 

Any comments or hints on where my error hides?

 

I know I could go on fetching all objects and exclude the unwanted ones later on but I'd simply run into the limitation of data records LDAP would provide me with. 

Thanks in advance!

 

Regards,

caracol

Problem With Isnull. Need To Substitute Null If A Var Is Null And Compare It To Null And Return True
Hey. I need to substitute a value from a table if the input var is null. This is fine if the value coming from table is not null. But, it the table value is also null, it doesn't work. The problem I'm getting is in the isnull line which is in Dark green color because @inFileVersion is set to null explicitly and when the isnull function evaluates, value returned from DR.FileVersion is also null which is correct. I want the null=null to return true which is why i set ansi_nulls off. But it doesn't return anything. And the select statement should return something but in my case it returns null. If I comment the isnull statements in the where clause, everything works fine. Please tell me what am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this without setting the ansi_nulls to off??? Thank you

set ansi_nulls off


go

declare

@inFileName VARCHAR (100),

@inFileSize INT,

@Id int,

@inlanguageid INT,

@inFileVersion VARCHAR (100),

@ExeState int

set @inFileName = 'A0006337.EXE'

set @inFileSize = 28796

set @Id= 1

set @inlanguageid =null

set @inFileVersion =NULL

set @ExeState =0

select Dr.StateID from table1 dR

where

DR.[FileName] = @inFileName

AND DR.FileSize =@inFileSize

 AND DR.FileVersion = isnull(@inFileVersion,DR.FileVersion)

AND DR.languageid = isnull(@inlanguageid,null)

AND DR.[ID]= @ID

)

go

set ansi_nulls on

Compressing Multiple Rows With Null Values To One Row With Out Null Values After A Pivot Transform
I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Select Statement With Join?
Hi all. I'm selecting all customers and trying to count alll the orders where at least one item has the itemstatus of "SHIPPED" on their order. Each customer will have only one order. I'm trying to see if I can do this in one query. Is it possible?? Is it something like below?

SELECT customers.id,COUNT( orders.id) AS 'total',
from customers
LEFT JOIN orders ON customers.id=orders.id AND orders.itemstatus="SHIPPED"

Select Statement To Return Most Current Syscreated Date On Duplicates
I have a db that has duplicate customer records.

If I run the following select statment against the appropriate table it returns the duplilcate records in the result set.  However, from this list I want to add an additional select statement embedded into the query that will actually return only those records with the most current syscreated date.

Example of script I'm using---

select cmp_fadd1, syscreated, cmp_name, cmp_code
from cicmpy
where cmp_fadd1 in (select cmp_fadd1
        from cicmpy
                      group by cmp_fadd1
                      having count(1)  = 2)
order by cmp_fadd1,syscreated desc

The results is:

     Address                               Syscreated date                Customer
1622 ONTARIO AVENUE 2005-06-15 22:19:45.000 RELIABLE PARTSLTD
1622 ONTARIO AVENUE 2004-01-22 18:10:05.000 RELIABLE PARTS LTD
PEI CENTER                      2006-01-05 22:03:50.000 P.G. ENERGY
PEI CENTER                      2004-01-22 17:57:56.000 P.G. ENERGY

From this I want to be able to select ONLY those records with the most current syscreated date or those records with   2005-06-15 and 2006-01-05

Can anyone help me with creating this?

Thanks

Max Values In A Select Statement
I have a table which has 4 fields, patientid,testdate,testtype,results.
I want to select the most recent testdate by a patient regardless
of the results, or the testtype. I do however need those fields for my query.
I tried the below, but I get more than 1 record if the person has had two different types of tests. For instance if patient 100 has the following 2 records I just want the most recent

patientid testdate testype results

100 01/02/2002 TBI ASYMP
100 02/02/2001 PPD 00000

select max(testdate)as testdate,testtype, other_id_number
from vw_cms_tb_lasttest

What am missing?
Thanks
group by other_id_number,testtype
order by other_id_number,testtype

Getting Different Values From Select Statement
I am running a select statement against a function that is giving me different values depending on how it is called. When I run it through sql server management studio, I get the proper results, the default value column has the parameters default value. When I call it through my web app, I get this in the default value column:
*** ERROR OCCURRED level 2 (this is not a default value) ***

Comparing To DateTimes In SQL-Select-Statement When One Date Can Be Null
Hello! I have a field "End" in my database that is mapped as DateTime and allows nulls. Now I want to do a SQL-Select (in a SqlDataSource) like SELECT * FROM My_Table Where (([End] = @EndDate) OR ([End] = null))  @EndDate is a valid DateTime, but the second OR condition doesn't work. What is the best way to check if the [End]-field is empty or null? Thank you very much!

Select Statement Returns Null In Stored Proc
If I run this statement in Query Analyzer, it properly returns 1for my testing table. But if I put the statement into a storedprocedure, the stored procedure returns NULL. What am I doingwrong? I suspect it may be related to how I defined the parametersfor the stored procedure. Perhaps my definition of TableName andColumnName don't match what COLUMNPROPERTY and OBJECT_ID expect toreceive, but I don't know where to look for the function declarationsfor those. Any pointers would be appreciated.Select statement:SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('Table1'), 'TestID', 'IsIdentity') ASIsIdentityTable definition:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1] ([TestID] [numeric](18, 0) IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Description] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]Stored Procedure definition:CREATE PROCEDURE spTest(@TableName varchar,@ColumnName varchar)AS SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(@TableName), @ColumnName,'IsIdentity') AS IsIdentity

Use Listbox Values To Do Select Statement
Hi,
I have SQL database 2000 which has one table Sheet1, I retrieved the columns in the ListBox, then chosed some of them and moved it to ListBox2.
The past scenario worked great, and I checked the moved values, it was succesfully moved, but when I tried to copy the values in ArrayList to do a select statement it didn't worked at all.
public string str;protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ArrayList itemsSelected = new ArrayList(); string sep = ",";
//string str;for (int i = 0; i < ListBox2.Items.Count; i++)
{if (ListBox2.Items[i].Selected)
{
itemsSelected.Add(ListBox2.Items[i].Value);
}
int itemsSelCount = itemsSelected.Count; // integer variable which holds the count of the selected items.
str = ListBox2.Items[i].Value + sep;
Response.Write(str);
}
 SqlConnection SqlCon = new SqlConnection("Data Source=AJ-166DCCD87;Initial Catalog=stat_rpt;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False");
String SQL1 = "SELECT " + str + " from Sheet1"; SqlDataAdapter Adptr = new SqlDataAdapter(SQL1, SqlCon);
SqlCommandBuilder CB = new SqlCommandBuilder(Adptr);DataTable Dt = new DataTable();
Adptr.Fill(Dt);
//return Dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
SqlCon.Close();
}
I did some changes and the new error message is
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'from'.
Thank you

Putting Commas Between Select Statement Values
Hello,

This may be a strange request, but I am going to ask about it anyways.

Say for example if I have a table named TEST and in the table there is a column named NUMBERS, such that it is like this:

NUMBERS
1
2
3
4

How could I use a select statement in a way that a comma would seperate every return value, such that if I go 'Select NUMBERS from TEST' I would get:

1,2,3,4

Instead of:

1
2
3
4

Any ideas?

Thanks

Concatenating Column Values In SELECT Statement
I'm puzzled as to how to express what I want in a stored procedure. Assume two columns, Surname and GivenName. The surname might be missing. When I originally wrote this app in Access, I used the following expression:

SELECT Iif( IsNull(Surname), GivenName, Surname + ", " + GivenName ) AS Agent
FROM Agents;

I've looked at the syntax for CASE but I can't figure out exactly how to say what I intend, particularly the AS Agent column aliasing.

Any help greatly appreciated. Please cc me privately so I receive your assistance at once!

TIA,

'combining' Values From A Select Statement Into A String
Hi,

I got a really simple question here. Say I have a table with

ID, Name
1,  A1
2,  A2
3,  A3
....
10, A10

Now I want to combine the names into another table grouped by their ID (say 1-5, 6-10), so this new table has two names instead of 10:
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
A6 A7 A8 A9 A10

Is there a function that allows me to 'combine' the names from a select statement?

Thanks in advance,
Steven

The criteria for Others is that those circles which are not part of #Lkp_OtherCircles i.e. C1,C2,C3 and C7 clubbed together. I have tried checking for the condition ISNULL when for that circle there is no user but the end result is same. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong and how to correct it?
