I'm trying to join two columns together to form a new column
My code is basically in the form of can't post the actual since it would be cheating--school assignment
SELECT Column1Name,Column2Name, Column3Name,Column4Name, Column1Name+Column2Name AS NewColumn1 Column3Name+Column4Name AS NewColumn1 FROM OriginalTable
Usually it is better to include the columns in the index that are in where clause, select list and join.I am thinking that the columns in the selected list is better to keep as index columns and the columns that are in the where clause is better to keep in key columns.Where do we use join column is it better to create as main key column or included column.
Perhaps is just brain drain but i cannot seem find an efficient query to join two tables (inv and supplier) such that an inv item can have multiple suppliers and i would like to choose the prefered supplier based on the current 'weight' column.
I have three records, with one column that is an identity/PK. I want the last record inserted and the whole record's information from the query, using a where clause to limit the record returned from the table.
I get an error if I do not have the group by added. However, with this query, I still get three records returned.
select CurrencyCode,TransactionCode,TransactionAmount,COUNT(TransactionCode) as [No. Of Trans] from TransactionDetails where CAST(CurrentTime as date)=CAST(GETDATE()as date) group by TransactionCode, CurrencyCode,TransactionAmount order by CurrencyCode
As per this query I got the result like this
CurrencyCode TransactionCode TransactionAmount No.OfTrans AEDÂ Â Â BNTÂ Â Â 1Â Â Â 1 AEDÂ Â Â BNTÂ Â Â 12Â Â Â 1 AEDÂ Â Â SCNÂ Â Â 1Â Â Â 1 AEDÂ Â Â SNTÂ Â Â 1Â Â Â 3
[Code] ....
But I wish to grt result as
CurrencyCode TransactionCode TransactionAmount No.OfTrans AEDÂ Â Â BNTÂ Â 13Â Â Â 2 AEDÂ Â Â SCNÂ Â Â 1Â Â Â 1 AEDÂ Â Â SNTÂ Â Â 11Â Â Â 7 AFNÂ Â Â BPCÂ Â Â 8Â Â Â 6
[Code] ....
I also tried this
select CurrencyCode,TransactionCode,TransactionAmount,COUNT(TransactionCode) as [No. Of Trans] from TransactionDetails where CAST(CurrentTime as date)=CAST(GETDATE()as date) group by TransactionCode order by CurrencyCode
But of course this codes gives an error, but how can I get my desired result??
Why would I use a left join instead of a inner join when the columns entered within the SELECT command determine what is displayed from the query results?
I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below)Â and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, Â fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
I'd like to first figure out the count of how many rows are not the Current Edition have the following:
Second I'd like to be able to select the primary key of all the rows involved
Third I'd like to select all the primary keys of just the rows not in the current edition
Not really sure how to describe this without making a dataset
CREATE TABLE [Project].[TestTable1]( [TestTable1_pk] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Source_ID] [int] NOT NULL, [Edition_fk] [int] NOT NULL, [Key1_fk] [int] NOT NULL, [Key2_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
Group by fails me because I only want the groups where the Edition_fk don't match...
I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:
Data Repository: SQL Server 2005 Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by
different organizational hierarchies different number of layers within a hierarchy select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies: Hierarchy 1
Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country) Hierarchy 2
Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:
Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups
How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all") (WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)
Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.
The select command below will output one patient’s information in 1 row:
Patient id Last name First name Address 1 OP Coverage Plan 1 OP Policy # 1 OP Coverage Plan 2
[code]...
This works great if there is at least one OP coverage.  There are 3 tables in which to get information which are the patient table, the coverage table, and the coverage history table.  The coverage table links to the patient table via pat_id and it tells me the patient's coverage plan and in which priority to bill.  The coverage history table links to the patient and coverage table via patient id and coverage plan and it gives me the effective date. Â
select src.pat_id, lname, fname, addr1, max(case when rn = 1 then src.coverage_plan_ end) as OP_Coverage1, max(case when rn = 1 then src.policy_id end) as OP_Policy1,
Table Name EmployeeInformation EmployeeID EmployeeFirstName EmployeeLastName   1       |John            |Baker   2       |Carl             |Lennon   3       |Marion           |Herbert
Table Name PeriodInformation PeriodID PeriodStart PeriodEnd   1     |1/1/14    |12/30/14   2     |1/1/15    |12/30/15
[code]...
I want a query to join all this tables based on EmployeeID, PeriodID and LeaveTypeIDÂ sum of LeaveEntitlement.LeaveEntitlementDaysNumber based on LeaveTypeID AS EntitleAnnaul and AS EntitleSick and sum AssignedLeave.AssignedLeaveDaysNumber based on LeaveTypeIDÂ Â AS AssignedAnnaul and AS AssignedSick and subtract EntitleAnnaul from AssignedAnnual based on LeaveTypeIDÂ Â AS AnnualBalance and subtract EntitleSick from AssignedSick based on LeaveTypeIDÂ Â AS SickBalance
and the table should be shown as below after executing the query
SELECT info_cost.Ac_Year, info_paym.Ac_Year FROM info_paym FULL OUTER JOIN info_cost ON (info_cost.ID = info_paym.ID AND info_cost.Ac_Year = info_paym.Ac_Year) WHERE info_cost.ID=1882 OR info_paym.ID=1882
Thus I have a table of two columns which values either the same or one of them equals NULL:
I have two colums within the same table. The 1st column contains name of products and the second column is used to rename the products so not every row is entered (omly those products we want to rename). I would like to create a new column which updates the name of the products. So if there is no new name it uses the old one, but if there is a new name use that one. I hope this makes sence?
I have a scenario that reminds me of a pivot table and I am wondering if there is a way to handle this in SQL.
I have four tables. Product Line, Item, Property, and Value.
A Product Line has many items and an item can have many property's and a property can have many values.
I want to select a product line and show all the items with the Property's as column headers and the Values as the data. The thing I am having trouble with is the property's for an item are variable from a few to a whole bunch.
I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.
Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).
I'm trying to eliminate all records that do not have one of two conditions. I'm using INNER JOIN on a derived "table", not a table in my database. The code below summarizes what I'm trying to do. Please note that this is an extremely simplified query.
---------------------------
SELECT * FROM jobs INNER JOIN ( SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0 )AS ValidContacts ON (jobs.owner = ValidContacts.contact_id OR jobs.assignee = ValidContacts.contact_id)
---------------------------
This works fine when the the "SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0" part returns a small number of records, however when that part returns a very large number of records, the query hangs and never completes. If I remove one of the conditions for the JOIN, it works fine, but I need both. Why doesn't this work?
Another possible solution is if I were to use "WHERE/IN" like this:
---------------------------
SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE owner IN (SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0) OR assignee IN (SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0)
---------------------------
This would work fine, but I don't want to have to run the "SELECT contact_id FROM contacts WHERE deleted = 0" part twice (since in my real code, it is much more complicated and performance is a big issue". Any help would be greatly appreceated.
After working with Oracle (can I say that out loud here? ) databases for a couple of years, our company recently switched to SQL2005. So far I really like it, and the switch has been relatively easy for me. Except for one thing...
I'm trying to find out how to join a subquery on multiple columns. In Oracle it would like this:
select * from #temp1 where (id_1, id_2) not in (select id_1, id_2 from #temp2)
But this doesn't work in SQL-T. I've temporarily solved it by doing this:
select * from #temp1 where id_1+id_2 not in (select id_1+id_2 from #temp2)
I don't like concat solutions for joins though (it always feels 'unsafe' to me). Plus, I can't believe there's no way to solve this.
I've searched the FAQ and BOL but I just can't seem to find the solution. Please help. I feel stupid.
Here's an oversimplified version of a query that I'm writing and wantedto know if there are any performance differences between the two versions.select *from table_a a , table_b bwhere a.col_1 = b.col_1and a.col_1 = 1000versusselect *from table_a a , table_b bwhere a.col_1 = 1000and b.col_1 = 1000All the tests show that they run at the same speed. But I have a verylarge query that joins 5 tables together and I'm trying to get as muchout of it as possible. Currently it runs at 2 seconds which I reallydon't like and would like to get it at under 1 second. So I'm lookingfor every little bit.I've already removed the DISTINCT, which in my test case doesn't doanything, but still took up one second.
I have a one to many relationships each claim we bill for a client has many status. Things like claim sent, claim received by insurance company, claim rejected. There are 80 different statuses all stored in tbl_status and I need to distill into three columns. I currently have the query below that returns only accepted claims and the date claim was released to insurance company.
I am struggling with how to have multiple columns released; paid, rejected each column can be represented by one or more of the 80 status in the status table.
So I want something like this
Select Case status €˜135€™ or €˜111€™ then Y else N AS Accepted Select Case status €˜123€™ or €˜444€™ then Y else N AS Released Select Case status €˜435€™ or €˜909€™ then Y else N AS Aprroved
Select distinct tp.ControlNo, tp.ClaimID, t1.StmtFromDate, sh135.StatusDate from claims.dbo.tbl_Patient tp Join (select tc.claimid, tc.StmtFromDate, from claims.dbo.tbl_Claim tc where (tc.Name = '6296U1' OR tc.Name = '6296H1') AND tc.PayerInd = 'A' AND tc.StmtFromDate BETWEEN '09/01/2006' AND '9/30/2006' AND tc.SystemCode <> -1 -- Deleted AND not exists ( Select * from claims.dbo.tbl_StatusHistory sh where sh.ClaimId = tc.ClaimID AND sh.StatusCode IN('210','844','995','5400','7310','7311','7320','A0','A1','A2','A5','P0','P1','P2','F0','F1','F3','F3F','F4') ) T1 On tp.ClaimID = T1.ClaimId Left join claims.dbo.tbl_StatusHistory sh135 ON T1.ClaimId = sh135.ClaimId AND sh135.StatusCode = '135'
I have Table1 with 2 columns Label_ID and Athlete_ID, I have another Table2 with 3 columns Label_ID, Athlete_ID, Data. I need join this tables so the result table will have the same number of rows as Table1 and have extra column add Data which will correspond to Data in Table2 if Label_ID an Athlete_ID are matched and NULL if no matches found. I have following query which does not produce desired result
SELECT Table1.label_id, Table1.athlete_id, data FROM Table1 LEFT OUTER JOIN Table2 on (Table1.label_id = Table2.label_id AND Table1.athlete_id = Table2.athlete_id)
The end result of this is table with only rows where label_id and athlete_id are matched between tables but no results when they are not. I expected OUTER JOIN to have those result but it's not working for whatever reason. I'm pretty sure it's simple solution but can not figure out myself.
I've a table similar to the one below, with a SKU, Category and Cost, and need using a simple select command, split the cost in two columns one for each category (1,2), I used a self-join, and it works, but it doesn't show values not equal in both categories
Declare @Tmp_SKUCatValue Table( SKU char(7) ,Cetegory Int ,Unit_cost Decimal ); INSERT INTO @Tmp_SKUCatValue (SKU, Cetegory,Unit_cost) Values ('sku-001',1,120)
I have a subscriptions table that has many line items for each record. Each line item has a different type, dues, vol, Chapt.

I want my end result to have one line item per record id, but I keep coming up with an error. I am pretty sure I am close, but need assistance before I can proceed.

I would like to compare values in the same table and get the single record with different values in the multiple columns.For table tab1, ID is my key column. If type1 is active (A) then i need to update X else blank on Code1 column and if type2 is active (A) then i need to update X else blank on code2 column. Both type1 and type2 comes from same table for same ID..Below is the example to understand my scenario clearly....
declare @tab1 table (ID varchar(20), dt date, status varchar(1), type varchar(10)) insert into @tab1 values ('55A', '2015-07-30', 'A', 'type1') insert into @tab1 values ('55A', '2015-07-30', 'C', 'type2') insert into @tab1 values ('55B', '2015-07-30', 'C', 'type1') insert into @tab1 values ('55B', '2015-07-30', 'A', 'type2')
SELECT EventID, Role, EventDuty, Qty, StartTime, EndTime, Hours FROM dbo.tblEventStaffRequired;
and SELECT EventID, Role, StartTime, EndTime, Hours, COUNT(ID) AS Booked FROM tblStaffBookings GROUP BY EventID, Role, StartTime, EndTime, Hours;
How can I join the results of the two by matching the columns EventID, Role, StartTime and EndTime in the two and have the following columns in output EventID, Role, EventDuty, Qty, StartTime, EndTime, Hours and Booked?

i have doubt on two things
1) How Can i compare the City names, by eliminating 'The ' at the beginning (if there is any in second tale city) between first and second
2) after comparing first and second if there is no match found in second them want to compare with third table values for those not found
--i tried below to solve first doubt, it is working but want to know any other wasys to do it
select f.*,s.Sector from #myfirst f join #mySecond s on replace (f.city, 'THE ','')= replace (s.city, 'THE ','')
