Select and join returning duplicate data - sql

I have some tables that can be accessed here and I would like to get a new table with EntryId from Entry table and ProtocolNumber from JudicialOrder table. For that I'm using this query:
SELECT DISTINCT ET.EntryId, JOA.ProtocolNumber FROM Entry AS ET
LEFT JOIN JudicialOrderAccount AS JOT ON JOT.AccountId = ET.OwnerAccountId
INNER JOIN JudicialOrder AS JOA ON JOA.JudicialOrderId = JOT.JudicialOrderId;
But the ProtocolNumber is duplicated, what could be wrong with my query?

As Kurt said only the combination of ET.EntryId, JOA.ProtocolNumber is unique. You will recognize it if you add an order by.
SELECT DISTINCT ET.EntryId, JOA.ProtocolNumber FROM Entry AS ET
LEFT JOIN JudicialOrderAccount AS JOT ON JOT.AccountId = ET.OwnerAccountId
INNER JOIN JudicialOrder AS JOA ON JOA.JudicialOrderId = JOT.JudicialOrderId
ORDER BY ET.EntryId, JOA.ProtocolNumber;
If you would really like to have unique protocol number you would need to group by ProtocolNumber and wrap EntryId in some string_agg function (depends on your database).
FYI: Your LEFT JOIN - INNER JOIN combination ends up being two INNER JOINs, see

SQL column added twice during INNER JOIN

I am trying to join two tables from a database; energyImport and sunAlt.
energyImport has three columns: timestamp_id, energy, duration.
sunAlt has two columns: timestamp_id, altitude
I am doing an inner join on these two tables using the SQL:
SELECT *
FROM energyImport
INNER JOIN sunAz ON sunAz.timestamp_id = energyImport.timestamp_id;
The output from this is:
timestamp_id,duration,energy,timestamp_id,altitude
1601769600,1800,81310,1601769600,0.0
1601771400,1800,78915,1601771400,0.0
1601773200,1800,78305,1601773200,0.0
The problem is that the timestamp_id column is repeated. How can I join these columns and only include the first timestamp_id?
Replace the * with
energyImport.timestamp_id,energyImport.duration, energyImport.energy,
sunAz.altitude
Either you specify the columns that you want in the results:
SELECT e.timestamp_id, e.duration, e.energy, s.altitude
FROM energyImport e INNER JOIN sunAz s
ON s.timestamp_id = e.timestamp_id;
Or, use NATURAL instead of INNER join, so that the join is based on the columns(s) with the same names of the 2 tables (if this fits your requirement), because NATURAL join returns only 1 of each pair of these columns:
SELECT *
FROM energyImport NATURAL JOIN sunAz;
See the demo.

Inner Join and Left Join on 5 tables in Access using SQL

I am attempting to access data from the following tables:
OrgPlanYear
ProjOrgPlnYrJunction
DC
DCMaxEEContribLevel
DCNonDiscretionaryContribLevel
Basically, I need to inner join OrgPlanYear + DC and ProjOrgPlnYrJunction then I need to Left Join the remaining tables (tables 4 and 5) due to the fact the tables 1-3 have all the rows I need and only some have data in tables 4-5. I need several variables from each table. I also need the WHERE function to be across all fields (meaning I want all this data for a select group where projectID=919).
Please help!
I have tried many things with errors including attempting to use the Design Query side (i.e. JOIN function issues, badly formatted FROM function, etc.)! Here is an example of one excluding all variables I need:
SELECT
ProjOrgPlnYrJunction.fkeyProjectID, OrgPlanYear.OrgName, DC.PlanCode, DCNonDiscretionaryContribLevel.Age,DCNonDiscretionaryContribLevel.Service
FROM
(((OrgPlanYear INNER JOIN DC ON OrgPlanYear.OrgPlanYearID = DC.fkeyOrgPlanYearID) INNER JOIN ProjOrgPlnYrJunction ON OrgPlanYear.OrgPlanYearID = ProjOrgPlnYrJunction.fkeyOrgPlanYearID)
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT DCNonDiscretionaryContribLevel.Age AS Age, DCNonDiscretionaryContribLevel.Service AS Service FROM DCNonDiscretionaryContribLevel WHERE ProjOrgPlnYrJunction.fkeyProjectID)=919)
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT DCMaxEEContribLevel.EEContribRoth FROM EEContribRoth WHERE ProjOrgPlnYrJunction.fkeyProjectID)=919)
ORDER BY OrgPlanYear.OrgName;
Main issues with your query:
Missing ON clauses for each LEFT JOIN.
Referencing other table columns in SELECT and WHERE of a different subquery (e.g., FROM DCNonDiscretionaryContribLevel WHERE ProjOrgPlnYrJunction.fkeyProjectID).
Unmatched parentheses around subqueries and joins per Access SQL requirements.
See below adjusted SQL that now uses short table aliases. Be sure to adjust SELECT and ON clauses with appropriate columns.
SELECT p.fkeyProjectID, o.OrgName, DC.PlanCode, dcn.Age, dcn.Service, e.EEContribRoth
FROM (((OrgPlanYear o
INNER JOIN DC
ON o.OrgPlanYearID = DC.fkeyOrgPlanYearID)
INNER JOIN ProjOrgPlnYrJunction p
ON o.OrgPlanYearID = p.fkeyOrgPlanYearID)
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT Age AS Age, Service AS Service
FROM DCNonDiscretionaryContribLevel
WHERE fkeyProjectID = 919) AS dcn
ON dcn.fkeyProjectID = p.fkeyOrgPlanYearID)
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT EEContribRoth
FROM EEContribRoth
WHERE fkeyProjectID = 919) AS e
ON e.fkeyProjectID = p.fkeyProjectID
ORDER BY o.OrgName;

Left Outer Join Without Duplicate Rows

After a lot of searching I could not solve my problem. I have the following tables:
I want to select all records from my 'product' table. but I have a problem. I got multiple rows from 'product' table when I execute the following query:
SELECT dbo.product.id, dbo.product.name, dbo.product_price.value
dbo.product_barcode.barcode
FROM dbo.product LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.product_price ON dbo.product.id = dbo.product_price.product_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.product_barcode ON dbo.product.id = dbo.product_barcode.product_id
My problem was solved with the following query:
SELECT dbo.product.id, dbo.product.name, dbo.product_price.value
dbo.product_barcode.barcode
FROM dbo.product LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.product_price ON dbo.product.id = dbo.product_price.product_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.product_barcode ON dbo.product.id = dbo.product_barcode.product_id
WHERE (dbo.product_price.id IN
(SELECT MIN(id) AS minPriceID
FROM dbo.product_price AS product_price_1
GROUP BY product_id)) AND (dbo.product_barcode.id IN
(SELECT MIN(id) AS Expr1
FROM dbo.product_barcode AS product_barcode_1
GROUP BY product_id))
Now I have just one problem. if the 'product_price' table or 'product_barcode' table does not have any record, No records will be returned. I mean if no similar record is found in 'product_price' or 'product_barcode' table, we will not have any record. while we should have records from the 'product' table with null columns of other tables.
Please help me Thanks.
I think the problem is that the conditions are in the WHERE clause - try moving the conditions from the WHERE clause and into each join:
SELECT dbo.product.id, dbo.product.name, dbo.product_price.value,
dbo.product_barcode.barcode
FROM dbo.product
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.product_price ON dbo.product.id = dbo.product_price.product_id
--moved from WHERE clause
AND dbo.product_price.id IN (SELECT MIN(id) AS minPriceID FROM dbo.product_price AS product_price_1 GROUP BY product_id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.product_barcode ON dbo.product.id = dbo.product_barcode.product_id
--moved from WHERE clause
AND dbo.product_barcode.id IN (SELECT MIN(id) AS Expr1 FROM dbo.product_barcode AS product_barcode_1 GROUP BY product_id)
SELECT dbo.product.id, dbo.product.name, MIN(dbo.product_price.value),MIN( dbo.product_barcode.barcode)
FROM dbo.product
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.product_price ON dbo.product.id = dbo.product_price.product_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.product_barcode ON dbo.product.id = dbo.product_barcode.product_id
GROUP BY dbo.product.id, dbo.product.name
While the above query should achieve your desired results - one entry for product with the minimun product_price (if one exist) and minimum product_barcode (if one exist).
I only assumed you wanted this based on the query you were writing. You need to spend more time thinking about the question you are trying to answer.
Joining will multiply your results if more than one entry per join key is present in one of the tables.
Just remember this diagram:
When you are calling LEFT JOIN and applying filtering like in the second picture from the top left, you will get only items belonging to the A table.
I want to select all records from my 'product' table. but I have a problem. I got multiple rows from 'product' table when I execute the following query:
Can you try calling DISTINCT after SELECT, like this:
SELECT DISTINCT dbo.product.id, dbo.product.name, dbo.product_price.value
dbo.product_barcode.barcode

join three table in oracle 11g

i have three table to join in select query .. this query not working
select policy_master.POLICY_REFER ,policy_master.CLIENT_NAME ,policy_master.ADRESS ,policy_master.POLICY_CLASS ,policy_master.POLICY_PRODUCT ,policy_master.EXECUTIVE_NAME ,policy_master.COMM_DATE ,

POLICY_INSURER_DETAIL.LEVY,POLICY_SUBAGENT_DETAIL.SUBAGENT_NAME,POLICY_SUBAGENT_DETAIL.BUSSINES_SHARE,POLICY_SUBAGENT_DETAIL.COMM_P,POLICY_SUBAGENT_DETAIL.COMM_VALUE
from POLICY_MASTER INNER JOIN POLICY_INSURER_DETAIL
on policy_master.policy_refer = POLICY_INSURER_DETAIL.POLICY_REFER and
policy_master.policy_refer = POLICY_SUBAGENT_DETAIL.POLICY_REFER;
Please tell me what i should do
To simplify the answer I've removed all explicit columns and replaced them with select *.
You have only joined two tables. You are refering to policy_subagent_detail table inside a join to policy_insurer_detail (but you're not joining the subagent details table). You should join this table and specify joining conditions in order to be able to retrieve columns from it (as you did in your column list near select keyword).
I've also added table aliases to make your code shorter.
select *
from POLICY_MASTER pm
inner join POLICY_INSURER_DETAIL pid on
pm.policy_refer = pid.POLICY_REFER
inner join POLICY_SUBAGENT_DETAIL psd on -- added join
pm.policy_refer = psd.POLICY_REFER
do inner join of the third table required you missed iton the from clause . thats it .OR you can use where clause like
from table1 a,table2 b,table3 c
where a.colname= b.colname and
b.colname=c.colname.

Help with SQL INNER JOIN statement

I have 2 tables , one showing me customer addresses and one other table showing all the order data. i would like to query the two tables using a JOIN so that i can get a result set shwoing me all the email addresses for customers that have not ordered in the last year.
so far i have this , but my inner join is not working, if you may help:
SELECT SHH.CUST_NO,ADR.EMAIL
FROM SALES_HISTORY_HEADER SHH,ADDRESS ADR
INNER JOIN ADR ON
SHH.CUST_NO = ADR.CUST_NO
GROUP BY SHH.CUST_NO
HAVING Max(SHH.INVOICE_DATE) < '20100728'
You were mixing join styles. If you're going to use explicit joins (and you should) then you specify the second table on the JOIN rather than listing all the tables in the FROM clause.
SELECT SHH.CUST_NO,ADR.EMAIL
FROM SALES_HISTORY_HEADER SHH
INNER JOIN ADDRESS ADR
ON SHH.CUST_NO = ADR.CUST_NO
GROUP BY SHH.CUST_NO, ADR.EMAIL
HAVING Max(SHH.INVOICE_DATE) < '20100728'
