Union Two Tables With Relational Ordering / Grouping?
Jul 16, 2012
I have two tables with data that I need to get and display in a combobox. What I want to do is have the parent table listed in the combobox with all of its children indented. Sorted by parent then by child.
This SQL seems to be more complex than I have done previously
I can get all of the records from both tables easily:
Code:
SELECT strName, ID FROM tblParents as pp
INNER JOIN tblChildren as cc
ON cc.pID = pp.uiGUID
UNION (SELECT strName FROM tblChildren as c
INNER JOIN tblParents as p
ON c.pID = p.ID)
However, this simply returns a list that is not ordered in any fashion. I'd like to have all of the parent's children shown under the parent name (there is only 1 parent per child and multiple children per parent)
I'm attempting to run three separate queries and have them returned as one recordset. I need to show the top 10 customers based on the number of orders they placed for each of three months, then combine them to give a representation of which customers have been within the monthly top 10 for the overall period of three months. My problem is when I run a count on the number of orders they have placed and order by that count, it is in ascending order which in escence shows me the bottom 10, not the top 10. To resolve this issue, I can specify descending order. This works fine with one query, but when I run all three queries using union statements, I can only have one order by which returns incorrect results. Here is my query. In this example, I get the combination of the three recordsets as expected, but each of the individual queries is not ordering descending, so I get the wrong end of the table. I am not bound to union, but do not know where to go. I do not believe I can use joins or concatenate queries because I have multiple where clauses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please note that I am using a view to convert the cryptic field names which are used by a third party software tool into more friendly names. We will call this view Friendly_View for this example.
USE MyDB
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders FROM Friendly_View WHERE MONTH([Order Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-1 AND YEAR([Order Date]) = YEAR(GETDATE()) GROUP BY CustName, Location, Phone
UNION
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders FROM Friendly_View WHERE MONTH([Order Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-2 AND YEAR([Order Date]) = YEAR(GETDATE()) GROUP BY CustName, Location, Phone
UNION
SELECT TOP 10 CustName, Location, Phone, COUNT(Orders) AS TotalOrders FROM Friendly_View WHERE MONTH([Order Date]) = MONTH(GETDATE())-3 AND YEAR([Order Date]) = YEAR(GETDATE()) GROUP BY CustName, Location, Phone
Having recently had excellent service here (many thanks, Erland!),here's another wee problem.SQL 2000I need to get a report which will display the movement of people thus:ID DIRECTION NAME DATE VEHICLE REGISTRATIONThe value of DIRECTION can be either "Inbound" or "Outbound"I need to have the data grouped by ID, with the "Outbound" row first.For example1 "Outbound" Smith 10/02/2005 ABC1231 "Inbound" Smith 11/02/2005 ABC1235 "Outbound" Jones 14/02/2005 XYZ7895 "Inbound" Jones 15/02/2005 DEF456This is the SQL so far.SELECTfldPersonID,tblMovementType.fldType AS [MovementType],'Outbound' AS [Direction],fldMovementDate AS [Date],CASE WHEN tblPerson.fldForenames IS NULLTHEN fldSurnameELSE fldSurname + ', ' + fldForenames END AS [Name],'Outbound ' + fldVehicleOut AS VehicleRegistrationFROMtblPersonINNER JOIN tblMovementTypeON tblMovementType.fldMovementTypeID = tblPerson.fldMovementTypeWHERE((fldMovementDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND(fldStatus = 1))UNION ALLSELECTfldPersonID,tblMovementType.fldType AS [MovementType],'Inbound' AS [Direction],fldMovementDate AS [Date],CASE WHEN tblPerson.fldForenames IS NULLTHEN fldSurnameELSE fldSurname + ', ' + fldForenames END AS [Name],'Inbound '+ fldVehicleRtn AS VehicleRegistrationFROMtblPersonINNER JOIN tblMovementTypeON tblMovementType.fldMovementTypeID = tblPerson.fldMovementTypeWHERE((fldMovementDate BETWEEN @FromDate AND @ToDate) AND(fldStatus = 1))What I need is the way to Order or Group it so that I can just put therows into a report without any grouping on the report itself (CrystalReports aarrggh!) - if this is possible!Edward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.ukThanks
Hello, I am trying to solve this....when I run this query select convert(varchar,date,100) from temp3 where date between convert(varchar,getdate() - 1.0,101) and convert(varchar,getdate(),101) result is: Apr 19 2000 12:45PM Apr 19 2000 12:46PM Apr 19 2000 12:47PM Apr 19 2000 12:48PM Apr 19 2000 12:49PM Apr 19 2000 12:49PM Apr 19 2000 12:52PM Apr 19 2000 12:53PM Apr 19 2000 12:56PM Apr 19 2000 12:57PM Apr 19 2000 12:57PM Apr 19 2000 12:58PM Apr 19 2000 12:59PM Apr 19 2000 12:59PM Apr 19 2000 12:59PM Apr 19 2000 12:59PM Apr 19 2000 1:00PM Apr 19 2000 1:01PM Apr 19 2000 1:02PM Apr 19 2000 1:02PM Apr 19 2000 1:03PM Apr 19 2000 1:04PM Apr 19 2000 1:05PM Apr 19 2000 1:06PM Apr 19 2000 1:06PM Apr 19 2000 1:10PM Apr 19 2000 1:11PM Apr 19 2000 1:11PM this is what I am expecting. but when I try to group it
select convert(varchar,date,100) from temp3 where date between convert(varchar,getdate() - 1.0,101) and convert(varchar,getdate(),101) group by convert(varchar,date,100)
result is correct but I would like it to be displayed like the first one. I will really appreciate Any clues, suggestions, How to at this point. Thanks a lot. HP
hello, I am beginner for asp.net and sql server. I used Sql server manegement studio full version and I exported my aspnetdb which was created by VS2005 to my host sql server. I have a question: relational tables are not relational no longer. I noticed that when I created database diagram. what is wrong by exporting? thanks for your helps...
Hi, not sure if this is the right forum for this question. I am creating relational tables for the first time in sql server express. I will have an orderItems table and an orders table. the MenuItems table is the problem. It is a catalogue of books. There will be about ten columns. all are unique to each book. i.e isbn number, title, author, publisher etc. but ten columns seems to be quite cumbersome. it may be easier to break the table down into two tables (i.e. primary details and secondary details perhaps) However to populate the table in the first place it would be easier to have it as one table instead of opening and closing 2 tables Adding the odd book to the two tables in the future would not be a problem. so the question is can i create a table and then brak it into two relational tables afterwards. If so how do i do this. this is my foirst go at relational tables and i am still trying to get a handle on visualising them. If my logic is up the wall please let me know.... Nick
I understand the basics for doing an insert. Their seems to be many ways of achieving the same thing in .net. I have used the tableadpaters and sqlcommand functionality to achieve this. My one question is how foregin keys should be created in associated tables. EG so if i create a new record entry in one table and the primary key for that entry is a foreign key in another table, do I need to call 2 table adapters, or run 2 sqlcommands(taking the primary key from the first traction and use this in the next transaction)?
Any help or direction for some good tutorials on this would be much appreciated.
Ok, I have a page on my website where we can add products to our database. We are a music store, and most products have different versions or colors. I've created 2 tables, Products and Subproducts. The products table may hold info like Fender Stratocaster, and the subproducts would hold colors (Blue, Sunburst, etc). The subproducts table has an integer field called MainProductID, which is linked to the mainproducts table field RecordID. So far the page uses a wizard where if first creates the main product using an sql datasource. After the data has been added to the main products table, my page gives you the opportunity to add different sub products. The problem I am having is actually feeding in the RecordID from the main products table to my insert parameter on the sub products data source. This is what I have tried so far: There is a formview on the page that is bound to the main products table, after the entry is created I can physically see the info on my screen, so I know the data is there at my disposal SubProductsDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("@MainProductID", Formview1.datakey.item("RecordID"))SubProductsDataSource.Insert()Using this adds the data to the table, but the MainProductID is nullalso is there a cheap little way to refresh a page, because when I upload the product images I have it go to the next step where you are supposed to be able to see the images you uploaded, I don't see them which makes me think that the page is loading faster than the images are uploading. Thanks
I am trying to insert data into 2 different tables. I am using dataadapter and dataset.
Protected Sub SubmitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SubmitButton.Click Call ConnectionString()

Dim ds As New DataSet() Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter()
da.SelectCommand = insertSQL Dim scb As New SqlCommandBuilder(da)
Try da.Fill(ds) Dim ndr = ds.Tables("location").NewRow Dim ndr2 = ds.Tables("rooms").NewRow
I'm shredding the below xml into relational tables. Each element of the xml has it's own table and there is a foreign key to join the tables, you can see this in the below picture. The process I follow is each relational table I always bring the nesecary xml and store it in the table and when shredding I always look at the parent table.So for example when processing the seat table, I use seat xml from the parent route table, also taking the ROUTEID from the route table. The reason I do this is all about taking the id from the previous step to create the relationships between the tables. without taking the xml down to the tables?The problem with this approach is I have xml stored in most tables and the tables are becoming very large.
I have situation where I get data from SRC Flat file and have to load Dimensional table and also fact table, using same data flow(have no other choice since I have to unpivot some src data). Since I have to load both tables in same data flow, I have to have a way to put load ordering constraint (I know informatica allows that). Does any one have any idea on how this can be done in SSIS?
Hi all, I am trying to create a diagram for our database, during the creating, I create some of the relationships which were not there(basically our original database is not relational database, that's why I am doing it) So sometimes I have to chage data type in order to create a relationship for the coloumns in different tables. i.e. change char(16) to varchar(7) (I checked the field that make sure all the data in this field is <= 7 characters)
But when I saved the diagram, there is an error message that state: Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of your database objects are not saved on your diagram.
'agent' table saved successfully 'VisitUSA' table - Unable to create relationship 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. The conflict occurred in database 'CMC', table 'agent', column 'AgentCode'.
What does that mean? is it caused by some of the agentcode data in VisitUSA table which is not in agent table? Thanks! Betty
Table A: ID (unique-identifier) Table B: ID_A (unique-identifier to A.ID, relation)
DTime (datetime)
Rows (id1 and id2 are Id examples): A: id1 id2 B: id1 and 12:00:00 (date not important) id1 and 13:00:00 id2 and 12:00:00
Example: SELECT A.ID, B.DTIME FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON B.ID_A = A.ID WHERE B.DTime < '14:00:00' ORDER BY NEWID()
When I run this, I get the three rows of table B. But what I want is to get each table A row once, and get the nearest datetime of WHERE expression from the relation of table B. So, the result must been two rows, id1 and id2, and id1 with '13:00:00' row because this is the nearest value of '14:00:00'.
How can I do this? DISTINCT trying by A.ID of SELECT, but doesn't work. Also ORDER BY B.DTime will work, but not random by NEWID() anymore.
I am trying to get a consolidated sum of all the columns of the two tables that I am Using the UNION on. I can not get the sum function to work or the group by.

I have 2 Tables one called Reps and the other called STORES I need to use a UNION statement but my Server is saying that the "UNION" is ERROR The Query Designer does not support the UNION SQL construct.
What command would I use to put these 2 tables together? HELP!
I have 2 temporary tables from a previous operation, Tab1 and Tab2, with the same dimensions. How do I create a third table Tab3 with the same dimensions containing the the combined rows of the 2 previous tables? TIA!
Hi there, I have some identical tables that I want to query for a search Is there anyway I can execute the unions first then a where command on all the tables at once I have tried using go but it doesn't seem to work, so I put the where statemtents at the end of each union for now. Here's my code:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM england WHERE company LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address1 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address2 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address3 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address4 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address5 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR postcode LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' " &_ "UNION ALL SELECT * FROM ni WHERE company LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address1 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address2 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address3 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address4 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address5 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR postcode LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' " &_ "UNION ALL SELECT * FROM wales WHERE company LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address1 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address2 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address3 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address4 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address5 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR postcode LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' " &_ "UNION ALL SELECT * FROM scotland WHERE company LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address1 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address2 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address3 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address4 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR address5 LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%' OR postcode LIKE '%" & iKeyword & "%'"
This query works perfectly and orders by just as I need
Code: Select '1st' As [Type], #Uno.ID #Uno.Address, #Uno.shippingInfo FROM #Uno
[Code] ....
However, when I use it in a Union All so I can pull data from 2 diff tables, the order by statement no longer works. How can I order by data in 2 tables?
Code: Select '1st' As [Type], #Uno.ID #Uno.Address, #Uno.shippingInfo FROM #Uno
I try to build some query on hierarchy data and after two days thinking about it i have null result. What I need is union more trees tables by root id to one table.
-- tree -- this query is functional: OK WITH tree (sid, parend_id, level) as ( SELECT sid, parend_id, 0 as level
[Code] ....
But this query work with one root id (100); what can i do when i have more roots id ? -> generate each tree table separated by roots id and then all tables join to one (union).
Basically I need the sub agenda to display underneath its Agenda Title, based on AgendaID = subAgenda_AgendaID...but when i loop over the query, it displays the agenda as many times as the sub agenda. I Think i need to group it somehow, or use a nested select?
I have several tables that I need to summarize data from two tables based upon a dates passed in and group that data. I have attached my table layout, some sample data, and how I would like the results to look.
tblOpenSiteDates Site: int OpenDate: smalldate Comment: VarChar
tblCloseSiteDates Site: int CloseDate: smalldate Comments: VarChar newLocationID: int
I am trying to get a view which would display a site with the open and close dates. Null is ok for a close date for those opens that are still open.. not every office has an open date and close date.. it is possible to have just a close date and not an open date (ie unsure of open date but I know its closing)
so the output would be
viewOpenCloseSites Site: int opendate: smalldate closedate: smalldate
I'm trying to get the results from three different tables, where they have some of the same results. I'm only interested in where they match and then trying to order by date (that's in three columns - M, D, Y). I read previous post in 9/07 but the result doesn't seem to order correctly. It does not have any rhyme or reason to the outputed results as it bounces back and forth through Oct, Nov and Dec posting and throughout all three tables. Here's my query below. Any ideas how I can get my ordering correct for all three tables to display all Oct, all Nov and all Dec?
Thanks so much
