I have two differents tables. The have some columns in common, for this example lets say 'name' and 'id'.
By making
( SELECT name,id FROM table1
EXCEPT
SELECT name,id FROM table2)
UNION ALL
( SELECT name,id FROM table2
EXCEPT
SELECT name,id FROM table1)
I get a list of the elements that are on one tablet but not in the other one.
Up to this point everything is OK.
But now, I want to make a select all from table1 where the name and the id matches the result of the query above.
After lots of comments I think this is what you're after...
SELECT T1.*
FROM table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2
on T1.ID = T2.ID
and T1.Name = T2.Name
AND E2.event_Time_UTC between convert(datetime,'2016-02-09 00:00:20',101) and convert(datetime '2016-02-09 23:59:52',101)
WHERE T2.Name is null
AND E1.Event_Time_UTC between convert(datetime,'2016-02-09 00:00:20',101) and convert(datetime,'2016-02-09 23:59:52',101)
You may allow implicit casting to work but above is the explicit approach.
If not then you would need to cast the string dates to a date time, assuming Event_Time_UTC is a date/time datatype.
A left join lets us return all records from the 1st table and only those that match from the 2nd.
The t1.* returns only the columns from table1. The join criteria (on) allows us to identify those records which match so they can then be eliminated in the where clause by 'where t2.name is null' they will always be null when no record match in t2.
Thus you get a result set that is: all records from t1 without a matching record on name and id in table2.
Old version
The below content is no longer relevant, based on comments.
I redacted previous answer a lot because you're using SQL Server not MySQL and I know you want multiple records not table1 and table2 joined.
In the below I create two tables: table1 and table2. I then populate table1 and table2 with some sample data
I then show how to get only those records which exist in one table but not the other; returning a separate ROW for each. I then go into detail as to why I choose this approach vs others. I'll finally review what you've tried and try to explain why I don't think it will work.
create table table1 (
ID int,
name varchar(20),
col1 varchar(20),
col2 varchar(20),
col3 varchar(20));
Create table table2 (
id int,
name varchar(20));
Insert into table1 values (1,'John','col1','col2','col3');
Insert into table1 values (2,'Paul','col1','col2','col3');
Insert into table1 values (3,'George','col1','col2','col3');
Insert into table2 values (1,'John');
Insert into table2 values (4,'Ringo');
Option 1
SELECT T1.name, T1.ID, T1.Col1, T1.Col2, T1.Col3
FROM Table1 T1
LEFT JOIN Table2 T2
on T1.Name = T2.Name
and T1.ID = T2.ID
WHERE T2.ID is null
UNION ALL
SELECT T2.name, T2.ID, NULL, NULL, NULL
FROM Table1 T1
RIGHT JOIN Table2 T2
on T1.Name = T2.Name
and T1.ID = T2.ID
WHERE T1.ID is null ;
which results in...
Notice John isn't there as it's in both tables. We have the other 2 records from table1, and the ID, name from table2 you're after.
Normally I would do this as a full outer join but since I think you want to reuse the name and id fields to relate to BOTH tables in the same column we had to use this approach and spell out all the column names in table 1 and put NULL for each column in table1 when displaying records from table2 in order to make the output of the second query union to the first. We simply can't use *
Option 2: Using a full outer join... with all columns from T1
SELECT T1.*
FROM Table1 T1
FULL OUTER JOIN Table2 T2
on T1.ID = T2.ID
and T1.Name = T2.Name
WHERE (T1.ID is null or T2.ID is null)
you get this... which doesn't show Ringo...
But then I would ask why you need anything from Table 2 at all so I think you're wanting to still show the ID, Name from table2 when it doesn't exist in table1.
Which is why What I think you're after is the results from the 1st query using the union all.
Option 3 I suppose we could avoid the second query in option 1 by doing...
SELECT coalesce(T1.Name, T2.name) as name, coalesce(T1.Id,T2.ID) as ID, T1.col1, T1.Col2, T1.Col3
FROM Table1 T1
FULL OUTER JOIN Table2 T2
on T1.ID = T2.ID
and T1.Name = T2.Name
WHERE (T1.ID is null or T2.ID is null)
which gives us what I believe to be the desired results as well.
This works because we know we only want the name,id from table2 and all the column values in table1 will be blank.
Notice however in all cases we simply can't use Tablename.* to select all records from table1.
This is what you tried:
( SELECT name,id FROM table1
EXCEPT
SELECT name,id FROM table2)
UNION ALL
( SELECT name,id FROM table2
EXCEPT
SELECT name,id FROM table1)
Assuming you want to reuse the ID, Name fields; you can't select *. Why? because the records in Table2 not in table1 aren't in table1. In my example if you want Ringo to show up you have to reference table2! Additionally, * gives you no ability to "Coalesce" the ID and name fields together as I did in option 3 above.
If you ONLY want the columns from table1, that means you will NEVER see data from table2. If you don't need the data from table2, (such as ringo in my example) then why do we need to do the union at all?) I'm assuming you want ringo, thus you HAVE to somewhere reference name, id from table2.
You could also do this with NOT EXISTS:
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE
NOT EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM table2
WHERE table1.id = table2.id
AND table1.name = table2.name)
;with cte as
(
( SELECT name,id FROM table1
EXCEPT
SELECT name,id FROM table2)
UNION ALL
( SELECT name,id FROM table2
EXCEPT
SELECT name,id FROM table1)
)
Select *
from table1 as tbl1
where
tbl1.id = cte.id
and tbl1.name = cte.name
I have two queries I have created in Access and I'm a step away from arriving at the data I need. I need to subset in some way.
Table1 and Table2 (Actually query1 and query2). They both have 3 fields: Email, Matcher and List.
I need to get all the results from Table2 where Email does not exist in Table1.
I found some posts about using an outer join and where null clause. I could not get it to work though. Didn't post what I tried here in case I was off course.
select t2.*
from table2 t2
left join table1 t1 on t2.email = t1.email
where t1.email is null
SELECT t2.*
FROM table2 t2
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM table1 t1
WHERE t1.email = t2.email
)
I have a SQL Insert statement that needs to insert records into another table only if the the record doesn't exist in table2 or the zip code has changes in table1. I have tried the following but it throws an error and it is the logic I am looking for:
INSERT INTO table2
SELECT id, zip
FROM table1 t1
JOIN table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id and t1.zip <> t2.zip
I also need it to insert the records if the id doesn't exist at all in table2. I have googled the crap out of this and can't seem to find the solution anywhere.
What about this?
INSERT INTO table2
SELECT t2.id, t2.zip
FROM table1 t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE (t1.id IS NULL OR t2.zip <> t1.zip)
Also, be sure to clarify which table's id and zip columns you are asking for.
You should always include column lists when doing inserts. Second, your query doesn't quite capture your logic. You need a left outer join to find the records that don't exist in the second table. Perhaps this might do what you want:
INSERT INTO table2(id, zip)
SELECT id, zip
FROM table1 t1 LEFT JOIN
table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE (t1.zip <> t2.zip) or (t2.zip is null)
You just need a WHERE NOT EXISTS clause
INSERT INTO table2
SELECT id, zip
FROM table1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM table2 WHERE table2.id = table1.id AND table2.zip = table1.zip)
consider the following example.
I have to select all the records from table1 which exist in table2 also + all the records from table2 which don't exist in table1 but exist in table2 and have IsActive=1 and status not null.
I initially tried it with a join but how to do the later part where I have to select the records which don't exist in table 1 ? I have to do it inside a single query presumably with a SQL view.
Edit
I need to combine the results like a UNION of 2 tables, so incase of rows absent in table1 but present in table2, the columns of belonging to table1 would be blank.
Here's an example query:
select *
from Table2 t2
left join
Table1 t1
on t1.id = t2.id
where t1.id is not null
or (isActive = 1 and status is not null)
The first line of the where clause takes care of "all the records from table1 which exist in table2". The second line is for "don't exist in table1 but exist in table2 and have IsActive=1 and status not null".
You will need an outer join here.

Is this it? Not sure if I got right what you want to do.
SELECT
*
FROM
Table1 t1
JOIN
Table2 t2 ON (t1.ID = t2.ID OR (t1.ID IS NULL AND t2.isActive = 1 AND t2.Status IS NOT NULL))
I have a situation where I have one table of titles (t1) and another table with multiple links that reference these titles (t2) in a one to many relationship.
What I want is the full list of titles returned with a flag that indicates if there is a specific link associated with it.
Left Join and Group By:
SELECT
t1.id
, t1.title
, t2.link_id AS refId
FROM
t1
LEFT JOIN t2
ON (t1.id = t2.title_id)
GROUP BY t1.id;
This is close as it gives me either the first link_id or NULL in the refId column.
Now, how do I constrain the results if I have a specific link_id rather than allowing t2 run through the whole data set?
If I add a WHERE clause, for example:
WHERE t2.link_id = 123
I only get the few records where the link_id matches but I still need the full set of titles returned with NULL in the refId column unless link_id = 123.
Hope someone can help
Instead of in the WHERE clause, put your criteria in the LEFT JOIN clause:
SELECT
t1.id
, t1.title
, t2.link_id AS refId
FROM
t1
LEFT JOIN t2
ON t1.id = t2.title_id AND t2.link_id = 123
GROUP BY t1.id;
Put it in the join condition for the second table
SELECT t1.id, t1.title, t2.link_id as refId
FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1 = t2.title_id AND t2.link_id = 123
GROUP BY t1.id;
