I have tried joining several tables and the result displays duplicate rows of virtually every line/row. I have tried using distinct but this didn't work. I know it could because there's several columns from some of the tables named the same.
Im just curious how i would take multiple columns from multiple tables.... would it be something like this ??? table: Products COLUMNS ProductName, ProductID table: Categorys COLUMNS CategoryName, CategoryID,ProductID SELECT Products.ProductName, Categorys.CategoryName,Products.ProductID,Categorys.CategoryID,Categorys.ProductID FROM Categorys, Tables WHERE Products.ProductID = Categorys.ProductID
Hey all,I am having some serious trouble getting the correct syntax for a select statement to work the way I need it, any help I could get on this would be greatly appreciated.I have a table called Units which stores computers and a table called Software which stores software. I have a bit field in Units called OEM, when this is set to true I don't want the select statement to pull this unit down when I am assigning software to other units.Here is my select statement: SELECT Software.SID, Software.SN, Software.Name, Users.First + ' ' + Users.Last AS 'Assigned User', Units.Make + '-' + Units.Model AS 'Assigned Unit' FROM dbo.Software LEFT JOIN dbo.Units ON Software.SN = Units.SN LEFT JOIN dbo.Users ON Units.UID = Users.UID WHERE (Units.OEM = 'FALSE') AND (Software.SN LIKE '%' + @SearchString + '%')Everything works as expected, unless of course the unit has no software assigned to it yet, it won't return it because its not tied to a Units.OEM field. Is there anyway to have it return ALL records that even arn't joined OR are joined but have OEM set to false?Thanks, let me know if I need to clear anything up.-Matthew
writing the query for the following, I need to collapse the continuity. If the termdate for an ID is one day less than the effdate of the next id (for the same ID) i need to collapse the records. See below example .....how should i write the query which will give me the desired output. i.e., get min(effdate) and max(termdate) if termdate is one day less than the effdate of next record.
What I need is the start and end time of each task, but the issue is there is no unique task number to bind them together.. So for instance the task starts with 'Open-Submitted' and ends with 'Task Approved'. The issue is there can be multiple occurrences in the same file number. I need to be able to split these into multiple tasks with the associated start and stop times.

Hi All,I'm trying to solve this for a few days now and I just can't figure itout...I have three tables set up, I'll simplify them for this question:Table 1: HOTELSColumns: HOTEL_ID, HOTEL_NAMEExmple row: 123 || 'Hotel X'Table 2: SERVICESColumns: SERVICE_ID, SERVICE_NAMEExample rows:1 || 'Breakfast in bed'2 || 'King size bed'Table 3: LINK_HOTELS_SERVICESColumns: FK_HOTEL_ID, FK_SERVICE_ID, SERVICE_VALUEExample rows:123 || 1 || 1123 || 2 || 1In table 3 I link different services to different hotels. In the same tableI set the "value" for the service.The first example row of table 3 means something like: Hotel X offersBreakfast in bed. In this case 1 stands for TRUEThe second example row of table 3 means: Hotel X offers King size beds(again: 1 stands for TRUE).What I'm struggling with is selecting the hotel ID's which offer multipleservices. To stay in the example: how can I select all hotels whereSERVICE_ID = 1 AND SERVICE_ID = 1. I can't seem to figure out how to doit...I hope anyone can help... Thanks a lot in advance!!!Robert
I need to list all the records in Table2 which don't have matching field values in Table1.
This the the exact opposite of what I need: SELECT DISTINCT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5 FROM [Table1] WHERE EXISTS( SELECT DISTINCT FieldA, FieldB, FieldC, FieldD, FieldE FROM [Table2] )
The above seems to give me all records in Table1 in which the five fields match the five fields specified in Table2. What does not show up is the test record I put in Table2 which is not in Table1.
What I need, however, is the exact opposite.
I tried the above using NOT EXISTS but I get no records at all.
I'm new to relational database concepts and designs, but what i've learned so far has been helpful. I now know how to select certain records from multiple tables using joins, etc. Now I need info on how to do complete deletes. I've tried reading articles on cascading deletes, but the people writing them are so verbose that they are confusing to understand for a beginner. I hope someone could help me with this problem.
I have sql server 2005. I use visual studio 2005. In the database I've created the following tables(with their column names):
Table 1: Classes --Columns: ClassID, ClassName
Table 2: Roster--Columns: ClassID, StudentID, Student Name
What I can't seem to figure out is how can I delete a class (ClassID) from Classes and as a result of this one deletion, delete all students in the Roster table associated with that class, delete all assignments associated with that class, delete all scores associated with all assignments associated with that class in one DELETE sql statement.
What I tried to do in sql server management studio is set the ClassID in Classes as a primary key, then set foreign keys to the other three tables. However, also set AssignmentID in Table 4 as a foreign key to Table 3.
The stored procedure I created was
DELETE FROM Classes WHERE ClassID=@classid
I thought, since I established ClassID as a primary key in Classes, that by deleting it, it would also delete all other rows in the foreign tables that have the same value in their ClassID columns. But I get errors when I run the query. The error said:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_Roster_Classes1". The conflict occurred in database "database", table "dbo.Roster", column 'ClassID'. The statement has been terminated.
What are reference constraints? What are they talking about? Plus is the query correct? If not, how would I go about solving my problem. Would I have to do joins while deleting?
I thought I was doing a cascade delete. The articles I read kept insisting that cascade deletes are deletes where if you delete a record from a parent table, then the rows in the child table will also be deleted, but I get the error.
Did I approach this right? If not, please show me how, and please, please explain it like I'm a four year old.
Further, is there something else I need to do besides assigning primary keys and foreign keys?
I have two tables that can be created with sample data using the DDL at the bottom of this post. What I'm looking to do is update the QtyReceived column in tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail from the Qty column in tblReceivedItems. However, the tricky part that I can't figure out is splitting these quantities out over multiple lines. I should only be allowed to receive up to the QtyOrdered column in tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail.
For a specific example from the sample data we'll look at PurchaseOrderDetailID 28526. From the tblReceivedItems, there are three records with quantities of 48, 48, and 20. From the tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail there are three records of QtyOrdered of 55, 45, and 20. What I would like to happen is fulfill the records in the tblPurchaseOrderLineDetail sequentially (essentially in order of ExpectedDate). So, the QtyReceived would be 55, 45, and 16 for the corresponding records. If there is already a quantity in the QtyReceived column, but it's less than the QtyOrdered column, the quantity needs to be added to the column (not overwritten).
DDL To CREATE Sample Tables and Data:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblReceivedItems]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [PurchaseOrderDetailID] [int] NULL, [Qty] [int] NULL) SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[tblReceivedItems] ON INSERT [dbo].[tblReceivedItems] ([ID], [PurchaseOrderDetailID], [Qty]) VALUES (1, 28191, 48)
I'm trying to select from multiple table in one select statement but i'm having problems. Here is the code i'm trying:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[snow_ors_additionalInfoRead]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1) drop procedure [dbo].[snow_ors_additionalInfoRead] GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.snow_ors_additionalInfoRead @Reference int AS SELECT Account.CanTravel, Account.SEEmployee, Account.WorkHours, Account.DrivingLicence, Account.CriminalConvictions, Account.CriminalConvictionsDetails1, Account.CriminalConvictionsDate1, Account.CriminalConvictionsDetails2, Account.CriminalConvictionsDate2, Account.CriminalConvictionsDetails3, Account.CriminalConvictionsDate3, Application.VacancyMonitoring, Application.VacancyMonitoringDetails FROM Account, Application WHERE Account.Reference = @Reference AND Application.reference = @Reference
Hi there,I'm new to sql and thus I'm having problems with a specific query which Ihope you guys can help me with.Basicly I have a few tables which I'm trying to do a query on:Table groups contains information about specific groups e.g. "Windows" or"Unix".Table users contains information about specific users e.g. "a", "b" or "c".Table users_groups contain information about group relationship (a user canbe in multiple groups) e.g. (a, Windows), (b, Unix), (a, Unix).In this case user c is ungrouped.Now I'd like to find the users which does belong to group Windows and thosewho do not:select distinct username from users_groups where groupname = "Windows" orderby username asc;This works pretty well for finding users in the specific group. In this casethe result is a.However I'd like to get the opposite result (b and c) but I'm stuck.The problem is that I'd like a list of all users excluding those which arein "Windows"Here is a partial query:select distinct users.username from users left join users_groups onusers.username = users_groups.username where users_groups.username is nullorder by users.username asc;This only gives me those users who are not grouped at all. This mean thatuser b is not in those results.Please advise.Thanks in advance.-- Henrik
I have 2 tables People and Scores. A person might have 1-5 scores (unknown at time of Query). I would like to query the two tables into a results table and if person does not have a record the score will be zero. Scores also have a test number so you know which score it is. I can get it done with Stored Proc but I have to use Temp tables and then put the temp tables together.
People Name ID Tom5 Dick2 Harry3 Larry4 Curly1 Scores PrimaryKeyPeopleIDScoreTestNumber 12801
Is it possible to get a list of rows from Multiple tables which have the same Column Name. I have 3 tables which comtain similar info and I want to get a list of Names the structure is
ID;Name;Address;Phone No.
I was thinking something along the lines of SELECT Name FROM TABLE1,TABLE2, TABLE3
But this does not work.
Is there a nice way of doing this with SQL or should I do code outside the SQL DB
I currently have two tables called Book and JournalPaper, both of which have a column called Publisher. Currently the data in the Publisher column is the Publisher name that is entered straight into either table and has been duplicated in many cases. To tidy this up I have created a new table called Publisher where each entry will have a unique ID.
I now want to remove the Publisher columns from Book and JournalPaper, replace it with an ID foreign key column and move the Publisher name data into the Publisher table. Is there a way I can do this without duplicating the data as some publishers appear several times on both tables?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as my limited SQL is not up to this particular challenge!!! Thanks!
I want to have a linking table say for example we call this a claim. Based on the claim number you need to relate to one of say 6 different types of claims. The types of claims related to their own individual parent table. (individual because each type of claim tracks completely different information) does anyone have an idea on how to set this up?
Sample Structure
table = Claim Field 1 = ClaimTypeA_ID Field 2 = ClaimTypeB_ID Field 3 = ClaimTypeC_ID Field 4 = ClaimTypeD_ID Field 5 = ClaimTypeE_ID Field 6 = ClaimTypeF_ID
The six field relate to the 6 different tables ID.
If I do this how do I store the data? put 0's in each of the claim types that are not used???

it works if we have a product in one color only. like if we have pant in red and blue then its showing just first record
In a Library Management database we have these tables
1) Document ( DocNo , Doc_type , permalink,inDate) 2)Title(id, DocNo,Main_Title, Other_Title) 3)Author(id , Author_Name , Author_Family,Type--Like:main author , translator ,....) 4)Publisher(id,DocNo , Name,Publisedate,address) 5)Subject(id,DocNo,Subject) 6)Description(id,DocNo,ISBN,description)--one document may have some ISBN,etc
In document table I have 500,000 records.
I want to search a word in these tables ,for example i want to search 'Computer' ,this word may be in subject or title or description and etc. How can I do this with best performance?
I need to consume a live data feed from a golf tournament. And by consume, I really mean insert (merge) into our own SQL Server database on a regular intervals as a tournament progresses.This site didn't let me upload an XML file, but you can see a sample of the data feed here: URL....
I need to insert this data into 2 tables, Player_Holes and Player_Shots. But while doing the insert, I need to lookup several things such as our player ID match to theirs on an external_id against the players table. The shot types translation, and some other logic about the process overall.
The columns in my player_holes tables are: id, player_id, hole_id, round, shots (this is a total # of strokes) and date_created/date_modified.Shots table is similar: id, player_id, hole_id, round, shot_number, shot_type_id, club, distance, date_created/date_modified.
The only way I know how to do it, is inefficient. I would parse the XML in ColdFusion (please no comments on ColdFusion, that's what we use for webdev), and then loop over it and do inserts for each player, each hole for each round, and the shots would probably be separate for each hole.
It would be so much better and more efficient if I could do it in SQL directly. I've done some research and SQL Server Data Tools looks promising. I've never used it, so would have to learn, but also I'm not sure if that'd work in this application when we want to run is as a scheduled task every few minutes.
i have database which has 25 tables. all tables have productid column. i need to find total records for product id = 20003 from all the tables in database.
Here is the desired counted output, I would like to pull distinct Date, MachineNumber, TestName and then count how many times they occur in the raw data form.I do need to perform a case on the date because right now its in a datetime format and I only need the date.
I am pulling three columns with the same names from 8 different tables. What I need to display the date, machine & test name and count how many times a test was run on a machine for that date. I have a feeling this can be handled by SSAS but haven't built an analysis cube yet because I am unfamiliar with how they work. I was wondering if this is possible in a simple query. I tried to set something up in a #Temp table. Problem is the query takes forever to run because I am dealing with 1.7 Million rows. Doing an insert into #temp select columnA, columnB, columnC from 8 different tables takes a bit.
I am trying to run an update statement against a vendor's database that houses HR information. If I run a regular select statement against the database with the following query, it returns without error:

I am assuming I am receiving this error because it doesn't know where to find QUDDAT-INT? How can I fix that?
The "QUDDAT-INT" column houses the employee number. So in the case of the SELECT query above, I am testing against a specific employee number.
I have searched in length and cant seem to find a specific answer.I have a tmptable to hold user "shoppingcart" ( internal supplies)What i want is to take when the user clicks order to take that table pull the records with that user and populate the order and order details tablesThe order table has a PK of orderID and the orderdetails has a FK of orderIDI know how to insert to the main table, but dont know how to populate the details at the same timeI have this.Insert into supplyordersselect requestor from tmpordercart where requestor = &name so how do i also take from the tmpordercart the itemno and quanity and put them into the orderdetails so that it links back to order table?
