I have the following DB structure:
And right now I can't make up a query to get
a creator data, admin data and tech data from item_contacts...
What kind of JOIN I need to use and how?
I think you want 3 joins on item_contacts - one for each column whose data you want to recover:
select
i.*,
cc.data as creator_data,
ca.data as admin_data,
ct.data as tech_data
from items i
inner join item_contacts cc on cc.contact_id = i.creator_id
inner join item_contacts ca on ca.contact_id = i.admin_id
inner join item_contacts ct on ct.contact_id = i.tech_id

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;
how to create view of this query anyone help me please, i want create view of this but its show me error
Msg 4506, Level 16, State 1, Procedure ordersview, Line 3 Column names
in each view or function must be unique. Column name 'ID' in view or
function 'ordersview' is specified more than once.
CREATE VIEW ordersview
AS
Select * from UserClaimData cd
Inner join UserClaimDeductions ud on
ud.CLAIMID = cd.ID
Inner join UserClaimApproval ua on
ua.CLAIMID = cd.ID
inner join ClaimDataBreakdown cb on
cb.CLAIMID = cd.ID
inner join AppExpenseTypes ae on
ae.ID = cb.EXPENSETYPE
inner join AppNOWTypes an on
ae.ID = an.EXPENSETYPEID
inner join AppAreas aa on
aa.ID = cb.AREAID
inner join AppZones az on
cb.ZONEID = az.ID
inner join AppRegions ar on
ar.ID = cb.REGIONID
The answer to the question you've asked is to specifically reference elements from each table; for example:
CREATE VIEW ordersview
AS
Select cd.ID AS ID1, ua.ID as ID2, etc... from UserClaimData cd
Inner join UserClaimDeductions ud on
ud.CLAIMID = cd.ID
Inner join UserClaimApproval ua on
ua.CLAIMID = cd.ID
inner join ClaimDataBreakdown cb on
cb.CLAIMID = cd.ID
inner join AppExpenseTypes ae on
ae.ID = cb.EXPENSETYPE
inner join AppNOWTypes an on
ae.ID = an.EXPENSETYPEID
inner join AppAreas aa on
aa.ID = cb.AREAID
inner join AppZones az on
cb.ZONEID = az.ID
inner join AppRegions ar on
ar.ID = cb.REGIONID
I would, however, suggest that you don't put such a complex join inside a view. Consider the columns you want, and perhaps think about a stored procedure, or a table value function.
What part of the error message do you not understand?
You have select *, which brings together all columns from all tables. Just based on the join conditions, it is clear that most tables have an ID column, so there are multiple columns called ID. CLAIMID also seems quite popular.
In general, using select * is discouraged. However, it should not be used for views. A view should state the columns that it contains:
select cd.Id, . . .
Your view has more than one column with the same name, and this is causing the error.
AppRegions has a column called ID
AppAreas has a column called ID
UserClaimData has a column called ID
Change the Select * to specify the columns of the tables you want to have on the View table, and put a particularry name, or just don't put them.
You need to change the name of some columns in the view. Use AppAreas.ID as aaID
A view is like a virtual table, So you can't have the same name for 2(or more) columns.
So to avoid this, in your select Query instead of * provide the column names, and if there are 2 columns with the same name and you need them both in the view, give them different alias names.
Suppose you have ColumnA in TableA and TableB and you want them both in the view. Create view like this
CREATE VIEW vm_Sample
SELECT
A.COLUMNA COLUMNA_1,
B.COLUMNA COLUMNA_2
FROM TABLEA A INNER JOIN TABLE B
ON A.ID = B.ID
I have created a query in SQL to join 3 tables :
1st table contains contact data,
2nd table contains link data,
3rd table contains sales info.
The 2nd table is like an index table to join the sales data (3rd table) to the contact data (1st table).
I have managed to join the 3 tables together with the following which only lists out contacts that have sales info associated:-
USE wce_site
SELECT
c.CONTACT,c.POSTALCODE,c.UNIQUEID,l.LEntityID,l.LETableName,l.LUniqueID,s.Area,s.POSTCODE
FROM
dbo.wce_contact AS c
INNER JOIN dbo.wce_linkto AS l
ON c.UNIQUEID=l.LEntityID
INNER JOIN dbo.wce_sales AS s
ON s.UNIQUEID=l.LUniqueID
Now I have the desired results I don't know what to do next to copy c.POSTALCODE to s.POSTCODE which are in 2 different tables.
In SQL Server, you can use join with update, so I think the following does what you want:
UPDATE s
SET POSTCODE = c.POSTCODE
FROM dbo.wce_contact AS c INNER JOIN
dbo.wce_linkto AS l
ON c.UNIQUEID = l.LEntityID INNER JOIN
dbo.wce_sales AS s
ON s.UNIQUEID = l.LUniqueID;
I'm working on a way to lookup the description for a code that appears in two fields of the same table.
The table/field names are :
Contacts
Name, Group_1 and Group_4
Lookup
Lookup_Id, Lookup_Name
Contact.Group_1 and Contact.Group_4 both refer to values in Lookup.Lookup_Id and need to be resolved to their corresponding name values in Lookup.Lookup_Name.
How can I connect both fields to the Lookup table and have them bring back their respective Lookup_name values ?
Left Join Contacts with Lookup twice. Once with Group_1 and once with Group_2. Left Join instead of just Inner Join, as you may have a contact without two groups.
SELECT C.Name,
G1.Lookup_Name,
G2.Lookup_Name
FROM Contacts C
LEFT JOIN Lookup G1 ON G1.Lookup_Id = C.Group_1
LEFT JOIN Lookup G2 ON G2.Lookup_Id = C.Group_4
Like this:
select *
from Contacts c
left join Lookup l1 on l1.Lookup_Id = c.Group_1
left join Lookup l2 on l2.Lookup_Id = c.Group_4
I have problems joining 2 table let say I have a column on the 1st table name nationalitycode(this is number) and it fetches the description(it could be american, chinese etc) depending on the first table nationalitycode. So I tried inner join the table so the first inner join is good and working perfectly.
here is the code:
SELECT person.firstnm, person.middlenm, person.lastnm, refcd.description
FROM person
INNER JOIN refcd
ON person.natcd = refcd.id;
However when I try to join the 2nd column from the 1st table let say the column name is gencd(gendercode its a foreign key) but when I updated the query to inner join 2 column from one table getting the value from one column in the 2nd table I get this error.
"Column ambigously defined" I get this error and I understand this my question is is there anyway to achieve my desired output? I want to join 2 table, specifically joining 2 column on table 1 to 1 column in table 2.
Here is my updated query:
SELECT person.firstnm, person.middlenm, person.lastnm, refcd.description
FROM person
INNER JOIN refcd
ON person.natcd = refcd.id
INNER JOIN refcd
ON person.gencd = refcd.id;
Help is really appreciated.
Your query should be
SELECT person.firstnm, person.middlenm, person.lastnm, refcd.description
FROM person INNER JOIN refcd ON person.natcd = refcd.id
INNER JOIN refcd R2 ON person.gencd = R2.id;
