Update Statement With Join
Hey guys,
Up to this point I've been dealing with mostly select statements but time has come, and I need to do an update. Basically I'm not sure how to structure the query.

I'd like to update the field "new_applicationreceived" to the value of "new_lastcontact" based off the results of the following select query:

select new_lastcontact from lead
LEFT JOIN StringMap ON Lead.SalesStageCode = StringMap.AttributeValue
AND StringMap.AttributeName = 'SalesStageCode'
AND StringMap.ObjectTypeCode = 4
where new_applicationreceived is null
and lead.salesstagecode = 5

I'd really appreciate your help - I'm very worried about messing up the data and don't want to screw something up.

UPDATE Statement With A JOIN Condition
Hi all,

HERE IS MY UPDATE STATEMENT:

Update WACTS_Inventory_Part_Loc_Tbl SET WIPLT_Part_New_Qty = WIPLT.WIPLT_Part_New_Qty + tmp.MATIN_QTY FROM

WACTS_Inventory_Part_Loc_Tbl WIPLT

INNER JOIN

Temp_MatIn_Data tmp

ON

WIPLT.WIPLT_Part_Number_MSBA=tmp.PARTS_ShortID

WHERE

WIPLT.WIPLT_Location_Code='MF'

 

I have a Problem with this satment becoz my Temp_Matin_Data_Tmp table contains two records with the same PartNumber that is (ShortId) and the two records have two different quantities.

The WACTS_Inventory_Part_Loc_Tbl has only one Part NUmber Record and the key is the PartNUmber and Location_Code.

 

Now when the Update Satement runs it updates the qty only from the first record of the temp table and does not update the quantity of the second record from tne source table.

I woould appreciate any help on this.

 

Thanks,

Jothi

SQL Inner Join Clause And The Where Clause
Hi everyone,
I saw some queries where SQL inner join clause and the where clause is used at the same time. I knew that "on" is used instead of the "where" clause. Would anyone please exaplin me why both "where" and "on" clause is used in some sql Select queries ?

Where Clause With LIKE 'xxx%' But There Is A JOIN..
I think I am getting 0 records returned...  because....
I am joining the third value based on a zip code. The two tables if directly compared to each other would never have an = match.
 SELECT t2.company_name, t2.firstname, t2.lastname, modelname, configname, format, version, username, t2.zip,

t2.country
FROM EtechModelRequests JOIN
CC_Host.dbo.USR_SC as t2 ON
Cast(t2.user_id As char) = username
--JOIN
--Sales.dbo.RF_Postal_Code_Salesman_Canada as t3 ON PostalCode = zip
WHERE RequestDateTime > CONVERT(DATETIME, '2007-09-1 00:00:00', 102) AND interfacename LIKE '%download%' AND

result=0 AND country='CA'
--AND t3.PostalCode Like 'z1x%'
ORDER BY company_name
 I was trying to do it by using a Where clause AND t3.PostalCode Like 'z1x%' that I will later turn into an Input Parameter after I get it working.
 Is there anyway to trim the PostalCode to the first three characters during the join process?
Something like Sales.dbo.RF_Postal_Code_Salesman_Canada as t3 ON LEFT(PostalCode, 3) = zip
Not sure I got the LEFT function syntax correct even. Help appreciated.

JOIN Outside Of WHERE Clause ? ? ? ?
view 1
I have a view that is drawing from two tables.  Each table contains fields representing cube coordinates.  The view is filtering the results based on some simple logic (where the defference between two values in the tables are greater than x)  this part works fine.
 
view 2
notes field
I want to include a note field in my view.  This field will contain the contents of a note field from another view.  This second view also contains coordinates that I can use to map the notes to the appropriate rows in view 1.  However, if I join the views in my FROM clause, I will end up filtering my resultset down to rows that correspond to view 2's contents.
 
I want to have the full contents of view 1, displayed with a note field containing the note field content from view 2 only in the rows that have corresponding notes. (some rows will have notes, some will not)
 
eg.
 
VIEW 1
row1    row2    row3    note_row (from view 2)

 
fsdfs   sdfsdf   sdfsdf   <no note>
sdfs    sdfsd    sdfsd   "note"
sdfsdf sdfsdf ssdfsd   <no note>

 
so... my question: is there any way that I can include this field without joining the views in my FROM clause (meking my resultset exclusive)..... possibly somehow in fields list of the select statement?
 
THANKS!

Or In A Join Clause
I'm joining one table on to another table using one of 2 possibile fields (so table 1 key one can either match table 2 key 1 or key 2)... When the first key is null for a record, the script is to attempt to join using the second key instead. It is possible to have both values present, in which case the first one should be used.

I've taken a few runs at this so far:

...
from table1 t1
left join table2 t2
on
(t1.key1 = t2.key1
or
t1.key1 = t2.key2)


If either t2.key1 or t2.key2 are populated, this works. Unfortunately, it's bringing back multiple records if both key1 and key2 are populated. Question # 1... Is there a different relational operator I can be using instead of OR that would logically look like 'if thie first key didn't find anything try the second instead'?


As an alternative, I've put the NVL to use...

NVL(t2.key1, t2.key2) = t1.key1

That seems to work, but it's pretty heavy on the server. Any suggestions on how else to handle this scenario would be greatly appreciated


(and ya, I didn't design this datamodel).

JOIN With ORDER BY Clause?
like so often my Forums database design (in its simplest form) is:Forums -ForumID -Title -CategoryForumsMsgs -fmID  -DateIn -AuthorID -MessageI need to create a sql query which returns all forum titles along with some data for 1) the first message entry (date created and author) and 2) the last one.

Differ Bet WHERE Clause && INNER JOIN?
In simple terms, if possible, what is the difference between using the WHERE clause in a SELECT statement vs an INNER JOIN? According to Rob Viera's book the WHERE is "inclusive" in nature, meaning that all records that meet the WHERE condition are included in the result set. The text further stated that an INNER JOIN is "exclusive" in nature meaning that data not meeting the JOIN condition is excluded from the result set.

In layman's terms, what is the difference? Any examples? Thanks in advance.

Right Outer Join With Where Clause
Using SQL Server 2005

I am reporting on a system with 32 devices, each of these devices can have certain events that happen to it that are logged and timestamped. 
I need a to show the count of each events that have happened to it within a certain time period.
This code snippet below works fine BUT if there are no events that happen to a certain device in the time period, then that device is 'missing' from the table.
What I need is basically a row for every device, regardless of if it has had any events happen to it (I will just show '0' for the event count)
Any thoughts?  I'm a complete newbie at this by the way.

Thanks

ANSI-92 Inner Join Vs. Where Clause Syntax
Having problems rewriting my join condition using the "inner join" syntax.

My query, working with an intersection table:

SELECT Description, EmailAddress
FROM Accounts_Roles r, Accounts_Users u, Accounts_UserRoles ur
WHERE
r.RoleID = ur.RoleID
AND
u.UserID = ur.UserID

This works fine, but i want to write it using 'inner join' style, so I tried:

SELECT Description, EmailAddress
FROM Accounts_Roles r, Accounts_Users u
INNER JOIN Accounts_UserRoles ur
ON
r.RoleID = ur.RoleID
AND
u.UserID = ur.UserID

which gives me an error (The column prefix 'r' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.)

Any ideas as to how I'm screwing this up would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Index / Join / Where Clause Very Slow
Hello,

first of all, some facts of the case:



Table Master Table Dimension
ID Code Price ID Name
1 A44333 5000 1 "Scanner"
2 D442 3000 2 "Notebook"
3 D6644 4000 3 "Banana"


I join both tables on ID and search one time for ID and another time for Name. Looks like

(a)
SELECT AVG(Price) From Master JOIN Dimension ON Master.id = Dimension.id
WHERE master.id=1
AND Code like 'A44'
(b)
SELECT AVG(Price) From Master JOIN Dimension ON Master.id = Dimension.id
WHERE Name = 'Scanner'
AND Code like 'A44'


Why does query (b) take longer than query (a)? Dimension has 12 Rows and
Master has about 24M Rows.

For index I did
Create Index IX_Master_ID on Master(ID)
Create Index IX_Master_Code on Master(Code)
Create Index IX_Dimension_ID on Dimension(ID)
Create Index IX_Dimension_Name on Dimension(Name)

I noticed, that when i leave the Code like 'A44' clause, query (a) and (b) do take same time. I'm really confused. Can someone please help me out?

Thank you

But in filter clause(where clause) i need to join 3 or more tables..to get my required Filtered rows.

HOW Do i Do it ??? any suggestions

Is the join class supported in Replication ( i may go for Merge or Snapshot replication) as this process once in 15 days.

Any Benefit From Filtering In Join Vs. The Where Clause?
Just curious. The exec plan is the same for both qry's, and they both show the same estimated row counts @ the point of question in the exec plan. The exec times are roughly the same, any variances I'm attributing to db load from other things going on, since any benefits of one over the other are not consistent from execution to execution. So is there any benefit to filtering in the join conditions vs. the where clause? My thinking was that by filtering earlier in the qry (when joining) as opposed to "waiting" to do it in the where clause, the rest of the qry after the join would inherently be dealing w/a smaller result set for the rest of it's execution, thus improving performance. After the exec plan checking I did, I guess I was wrong. Seems that Sql Server is intelligent about such filtering when analyzing the entire qry, and building its execution accordingly. The execution plan for both qry's showed the same where clause argument for the tables being joined.

Filtering in where clause....

Code:


select...
FromtProject p with (noLock)
jointProjectCall pc with (noLock) on P.ID = pc.project_id
jointStore S with (noLock) on pc.store_id = s.id
jointZip Z with (noLock) on Z.zip5 = s.zip5
jointManager M on M.ID = case ... end
leftjoin
(
selectprojectCall_RecNum as RecNum, sum(answer) as HoursUsed
fromtCall C
whereAnswer > 0 and question_id in (1, 2)
group by projectCall_Recnum
) as C on pc.recnum = c.recnum
wherepc.removed = 0
andp.cancelled = 0
andp.deleted = 0
ands.closed = 0
ands.deleted = 0
andyear(getDate()) between year(P.startDate) and year(P.expDate)



Filtering in joins...

Code:


select...
FromtProject p with (noLock)
jointProjectCall pc with (noLock) on P.ID = pc.project_id
and pc.removed = 0
and p.cancelled = 0
and p.deleted = 0
and year(getDate()) between year(P.startDate) and year(P.expDate)
jointStore S with (noLock) on pc.store_id = s.id
jointZip Z with (noLock) on Z.zip5 = s.zip5
and s.closed = 0
and s.deleted = 0
jointManager M on M.ID = case ... end

selectprojectCall_RecNum as RecNum, sum(answer) as HoursUsed

Filtering Records Through Join Or Where Clause
Hi All,
Can anybody tell me which of the following is the most efficient query if i have huge tables.


SELECT      *FROM         Tab1 Inner join Tab2 ON Tab1.Col1 = Tabl2.Col1 AND Tab1.Col1 = 5


OR



SELECT      *FROM         Tab1 Inner join Tab2 ON Tab1.Col1 = Tabl2.Col1WHERE       Tab1.Col1 = 5

As long as i explored this, Sql Server Query Execution Plan shows the similar cost for both cases. Is there any difference?
If yes why?

Thanks in advance.

Select Inner Join With Where Clause Problems
Hello All,

I have a question about a Select over 2 Tables,
with the Following Scenario (Not all Products (ARTICULOS) haves CARAC's on the CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS table):

Picture of the tables here:
http://www.pci-baleares.com/pantallazoSql.jpg



We have per example 7 Slots (Motherboard, CPU, VGA Card, RAM, TOWER, etc...)
When we fill the Slot with a CPU-> Then we open the Slot for VGA CARD, we do the Followin Select:

SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.*
FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN
dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO

Ok it brings up ALL Graphic Cards because they dont depends on CPU

Now we go to the Motherboard Slot
And we make the following Select to obtain the compatible Motherboards:
SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.*

FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN

dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO

WHERE

((dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_CARAC = 7) AND (dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.VALOR = 'PCI-E')) AND
((ID_CARAC = 1) AND (VALOR = '775'))

We check the motherboards if they support PCI-E (because we selected a Graphic card of that, and SOCKET 775 because the CPU)

But SQL return 0 Rows, if we do the following Select:
SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.*


FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN


dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO


WHERE


((dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_CARAC = 7) AND (dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.VALOR = 'PCI-E'))

OR

SELECT dbo.ARTICULOS.*


FROM dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS INNER JOIN


dbo.ARTICULOS ON dbo.CFG_CARAC_ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO = dbo.ARTICULOS.ID_ARTICULO


WHERE

((ID_CARAC = 1) AND (VALOR = '775'))

It return Rows, it happens just if the Where clause haves more as 1 specifications...

Any solution for it? It drives me crazy :D

Thanks and regards

LEFT OUTER JOIN & WHERE Clause Issue
Hello,

I want to retrieve:
ALL [tasks] with [times].[status] for a specific user for a given week, whether rows exist in [times] or not.

Here's my query:

select tasks.id, times.status
from tasks
LEFT OUTER JOIN times ON tasks.id = times.taskid
where upt.userid=11 AND times.startweek='05/05/2008'

That just doesn't return any the records though for the 05/05/2008 date. Its as though I want to join with a WHERE clause on the [times] table. What can I do?

Thanks in advance,

Filter Criteria - Temp Table Join Or Where Clause?

Theseexamples are obviously simplified, and I have a handful of stored proceduresthat will use between 10 or more of these filters. If the two areequivalent, I prefer Method 2 because it makes for much neater SQL whenusing many filter criteria.So my question is, will one noticebly outperform the other? Or is there abetter way in which to filter on a list of criteria?Method 1 :CREATE PROC sp__filter_open_bills@patient_list varchar(2000)ASCREATE TABLE #patient(patient_id int)INSERT INTO #patientSELECTpatient_idFROMdbo.udf_filter_patient( @patient_list )SELECT*FROMopen_billsINNER JOIN #patient on #patient.patient_id = open_bills.patient_idGOMethod 2 :CREATE PROC sp__filter_open_bills@patient_list varchar(2000)ASSELECT*FROMopen_billsWHEREopen_bills.patient_id IN ( SELECT patient_id FROMdbo.udf_filter_patient( @patient_list ) )GOThanks for the help!Chris G

Best Practice: Use Values In WHERE Clause Or Create And Join Temp Table ?
Hi,
I am using a SQL back end to dynamically populate an asp.net report/page.
As the data I'm interrogating is created from a tree control, I'm having to use a recursive function to retrieve the data into a series of ID values. This all happens at the moment in a DataTable manipulated with c# code. So my ID values end up in this datatable.
 My problem is that I am then performing a crosstab query in SQL Server 2000 and these ID are required as part of that query.
 Should I create a temp table and join this into the query or should i feed in a series of ID values into a where clause?
 Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
John

Right Use Of Like In An Or Clause Of Where Statement
I have the below where clause on a select

where substring(pa.other_id_number,5,1) = @monthid
and pa2.df_patstatus like 'act%'
and ((pa2.df_institutionname not like ('ACT%')
or pa2.df_institutionname not like ('county%')))

It returns records that have either one of the not like statements. If I comment out the line and use below it will work for one of the statements

where substring(pa.other_id_number,5,1) = @monthid
and pa2.df_patstatus like 'act%'
and pa2.df_institutionname not like ('ACT%')

How can I get the two to work together. I thought the parenthesis would work but no luck.

e.g.

BEGIN

   PRINT 'IGNORE ADDRESS'

END

Thank you

Multiple Tables Used In Select Statement Makes My Update Statement Not Work?
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly.  My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys.  So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys.  I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit.  I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it.  I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates.  When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template.  This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value.  So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors.  I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode.  I make my changes and then select "update."  When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing.  The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work.  When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again.  Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People].  My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list.  If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database.  It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed.  If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can.  This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go.  I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

Using Case Statement With WHERE Clause...
Hi,
I need help to use CASE Statement within my WHERE Clause. I want to change the WHERE Clause based on my condition as following:
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE  (condition)
AND       (condition)
AND       (condition)
AND       (
                    CASE Table.Category
                          WHEN 'Drinks' THEN
                               Table1.Field1 = 1 -- Problem line
                          ELSE
                               Table1.Field1 = 1 AND Table1.Field2 = 1 -- Problem line
                   END
             )
In the above case, my WHERE Clause is dependent on one of the fields in a table. If it has a certain value then only Table1.Field1 is used otherwise Table1.Field1 & Field2 come into action.
I am getting error on the mentioned line (Problem Line). Since CASE is an expression and does not execute a statement, can anyone help me to get my WHERE Clause working...
Thanks in advance...

Need Help With Query Statement 'IN' Clause.
I have a column in the database that stored moduleId that are seperated by '|' (pipes).  For Example: '527|343|454'

I need to add a where clause to a query that pulls the data based on a
ModuleId. For Example: select * from table where 527 in [column above]

Does anyone know how I can do this in a query?  Normally I could
use an IN statement, ex: select * from table where 527 in (527,343,454)

How can I get the column in that format?

Thanks for the help in advance,

HAVING Clause Is A Case Statement???
i have wrote a query which compares two tables, returning anywhere the qty is not the same in each table:

(simple ex)

Select order_no
from table1
inner join table2
on table1.order_no = table2.order_no
group by order_no
having table1.Qty<> table2.Qty

BUT... I need to add a table3, where there maybe (or may not be enters - thus a left join). If there is an entry in table3 then use qty in table3 and not table1... so having becomes:

CASE WHEN table1.Qty<> table3.Qty
THEN table3.Qty<> table2.Qty
ELSE table1.Qty<> table2.Qty END

but how do i actually write this?

Using CASE Statement In A WHERE Clause
Is it possible to use CASE within a WHERE?

I have a query which is something like this, but it returns an error:

 

SELECT * FROM tablex

WHERE

CASE WHEN 'sexec' IS NOT NULL THEN

dm_marque = 'foo' AND year(dm_date) LIKE 'pyear' AND dm_month LIKE 'pmonth' AND dm_weekno LIKE 'pweek' and dm_sexec LIKE 'sexec' ELSE

dm_marque = 'foo' AND year(dm_date) LIKE 'pyear' AND dm_month LIKE 'pmonth' AND dm_weekno LIKE 'pweek' END

GROUP BY dm_marque

 

In this case sexec is a form parameter, if something is passed then I need to include it in the where statement, if it isn't I need to include something else.  I am using CASE because there are three of these parameters and I want it to stop evaluating as soon as it matches as more than one may match but I only want to apply one.

Many thanks

Karen
