I am trying to have my query pull data to include all dates from my one tbl_actual even though there is no data for certain dates in my tbl_planned.
But when using my Inner Join and my Left Join together, it is saying that the Left Join is not supported.
I have tried to use two inner joins instead of a left join, but that still only pulls dates from the tbl_planned query, I need all dates from tbl_actual too
SELECT cal.Day, planned.LocalDay, actual.LocDay, actual.Over30Minutes,
actual.Over30MinutesHours, actual.NumOfUses, actual.TotalDurationTaken,
planned.Campaign, planned.Supervisor, planned.DurationScheduled,
actual.PersonID, planned.PersonID
FROM (tbl_actual AS actual INNER JOIN tbl_planned AS planned ON
(planned.PersonID = actual.PersonID)) Left Join tbl_actual ON actual.LocDay
= planned.LocalDay
I am trying to have my query pull data to include all dates from my one tbl_actual even though there is no data for certain dates in my tbl_planned.
In SQL, this can be expressed as tbl_actual LEFT JOIN tbl_planned, followed by the joining conditions (date and person). Records in tbl_actual with no match in tbl_planned will still be included in the output, with all columns related to tbl_planned showing NULL.
I guess that your query could just be simplified as follows :
SELECT
-- cal.Day,
planned.LocalDay,
actual.LocDay,
actual.Over30Minutes,
actual.Over30MinutesHours,
actual.NumOfUses,
actual.TotalDurationTaken,
planned.Campaign,
planned.Supervisor,
planned.DurationScheduled,
actual.PersonID,
planned.PersonID
FROM
bl_actual AS actual
LEFT JOIN tbl_planned
ON planned.PersonID = actual.PersonID
AND actual.LocDay = planned.LocalDay
PS : what is table alias cal, as shown in cal.Day, the first column of your resultset ? This alias is not declared anywhere in the query, I commented out the column.
I think you want to refer tbl_actual only once:
FROM tbl_actual AS actual INNER JOIN
tbl_planned AS planned
ON planned.PersonID = actual.PersonID AND
actual.LocDay = planned.LocalDay

I am trying to join 2 table using Id such that the frequency of all combination are present. But when I am using the join (left, right) I am still getting the inner join or left join output.
these are the table a
b
I am expecting output
I tried the actual code
select
act.action,
dvr.dateofdel,
dvr.output
FROM internal.actions as act
Right join internal.deliveries as dvr
ON dvr.id= act.id
I tried multiple joins but still same outcome ..
Your query does not match your sample data.
But based on your problem statement, I suspect that you want:
select
act.ID_log,
act.ID_send_message,
act.action_date,
act.action,act.ID_email,
dvr.delivery_date,
act.email
from internal.actions as act
left join internal.deliveries as dvr
on dvr.ID_send_message= act.ID_send_message
and dvr.delivery_date >= '2017-01-01'
and dvr.delivery_date < '2018-01-01'
where act.ID_send_message != 0
This will bring all records from act that satisfy the condition in the where clause, along with information coming from dvr; when there is no match in dvr, the corresponding columns will show null values. The important part in the query is that all conditions on the left joined table should be listed in the on clause of the join (rather than in the where clause).
I have 2 queries in big query where i want to join 2 tables in some condition.
First query
Second query is same but im using JOIN instead of LEFT JOIN.
Can anyone explain me why LEFT JOIN with WHERE condition returns diffrent results count then INNER JOIN?
why LEFT JOIN with WHERE condition returns diffrent results count then INNER JOIN?
They are considering different starting sets to work with. Here are some nice illustrations on difference between joins:

note that OUTER is optional so left outer join is equal to left join
I'm new to sql and trying to tweak someone else's huge stored procedure to get a subset of the results. The code below is maybe 10% of the whole procedure. I added the lp.posting_date, last left join, and the where clause. Trying to get records where the posting date is between the start date and the end date. Am I doing this right? Apparently not because the results are unaffected by the change. UPDATE: I CHANGED THE LAST JOIN. The results are correct if there's only one area allocation term. If there is more than one area allocation term, the results are duplicated for each term.

As may have already been hinted at you should be careful when using the WHERE clause with an OUTER JOIN.
The idea of the OUTER JOIN is to optionally join that table and provide access to the columns.
The JOINS will generate your set and then the WHERE clause will run to restrict your set. If you are using a condition in the WHERE clause that says one of the columns in your outer joined table must exist / equal a value then by the nature of your query you are no longer doing a LEFT JOIN since you are only retrieving rows where that join occurs.
Shorten it and copy it out as a new query in ssms or whatever you are using for testing. Use an inner join unless you want to preserve the left side set even when there is no matching lp.lease_id. Try something like
if object_id('tempdb..#leases) is not null
drop table #leases;
select distinct
l.lease_id
,l.property_id as property_id
,lp.posting_date
into #leases
from la_tbl_lease as l
inner join la_tbl_lease_projection as lp on lp.lease_id = l.lease_id
where lp.posting_date <= laat.end_date and lp.posting_date >= laat.start_date
select * from #leases
drop table #leases
If this gets what you want then you can work from there and add the other left joins to the query (getting rid of the select * and 'drop table' if you copy it back into your proc). If it doesn't then look at your Boolean date logic or provide more detail for us. If you are new to sql and its procedural extensions, try using the object explorer to examine the properties of the columns you are querying, and try selecting the top 1000 * from the tables you are using to get a feel for what the data looks like when building queries. -Mike
You can try the BETWEEN operator as well
Where lp.posting_date BETWEEN laat.start_date AND laat.end_date
Reasoning: You can have issues wheres there is no matching values in a table. In that instance on a left join the table will populate with null. Using the 'BETWEEN' operator insures that all returns have a value that is between the range and no nulls can slip in.
As it turns out, the problem was easier to solve and it was in a different place in the stored procedure. All I had to do was add one line to one of the cursors to include area term allocations by date.
Question about SQL View. Trying to develop a view from two tables. The two tables have same Primary Keys, execpt the 1st table has all of them, the 2nd has some, but not all. When I INNER Join them, I get a recordset but its not complete, because the 2nd table doesnt have all the records in it. Is there a way in my view to write logic stating that if the key isnt in there int he table #2 to insert a zero so the entire record set is shown in the view? I wan tto show ALL the records in the view even if theres nothing to inner join.
My example below:
SELECT dbo.Baan_view1b.Number, dbo.Baan_view1b.description, dbo.Baan_view1b.system, dbo.Baan_view1b.Analyst, dbo.Baan_view1b.[User],
dbo.Baan_view1b.[Date Submitted], dbo.Baan_view1b.category, dbo.Baan_view1b.stage, MAX(dbo.notes.percent_developed) AS Expr1
FROM dbo.Baan_view1b INNER JOIN
dbo.notes ON dbo.Baan_view1b.Number = dbo.notes.note_number
GROUP BY dbo.Baan_view1b.Number, dbo.Baan_view1b.description, dbo.Baan_view1b.system, dbo.Baan_view1b.Analyst, dbo.Baan_view1b.[User],
dbo.Baan_view1b.[Date Submitted], dbo.Baan_view1b.category, dbo.Baan_view1b.stage
HAVING (NOT (dbo.Baan_view1b.stage LIKE 'Closed'))
what you are looking for is the Left Join (left outer join) and not the inner join
SELECT dbo.Baan_view1b.Number, dbo.Baan_view1b.description, dbo.Baan_view1b.system, dbo.Baan_view1b.Analyst,
dbo.Baan_view1b.[User], dbo.Baan_view1b.[Date Submitted], dbo.Baan_view1b.category, dbo.Baan_view1b.stage,
MAX(dbo.notes.percent_developed) AS Expr1
FROM dbo.Baan_view1b
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.notes
ON dbo.Baan_view1b.Number = dbo.notes.note_number
WHERE NOT dbo.Baan_view1b.stage LIKE 'Closed'
GROUP BY dbo.Baan_view1b.Number, dbo.Baan_view1b.description, dbo.Baan_view1b.system, dbo.Baan_view1b.Analyst,
dbo.Baan_view1b.[User], dbo.Baan_view1b.[Date Submitted], dbo.Baan_view1b.category, dbo.Baan_view1b.stage
Also, changing the HAVING Clause to a WHERE clause makes the query more efficient.
Yes, you can do this. Assuming that baan_view1b has all the records and notes has only some, change
FROM dbo.Baan_view1b INNER JOIN dbo.notes
to say
FROM dbo.Baan_view1b LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.notes
INNER JOIN (or just plain JOIN) tells the database engine to take records from Baan_view1b, match them up with records in notes, and include a row in the output for every pair of records that match. As you have seen, it excludes records from Baan_view1b that don't have matches in the notes table.
LEFT OUTER JOIN instead tells the engine to take ALL the records from Bann_view1b (because it's on the left side of the JOIN keywords). Then, it will match up records from notes wherever it can. However, you are guaranteed a row in the output for every row in the left-hand table regardless of whether it can be matched.
If, as is usual, you asked for column values from both tables, the columns from the table on the right-hand side of the JOIN will have NULL values in the missing rows.
Change the inner join to a left outer join.
(Or a right outer join or a full outer join if you feel fancy.)
You need a outer join. This shows all records that have a matching key as well as the ones that don't. The inner join only shows records that have matching join keys.
Enjoy!
You need to do a Left Outer Join as other posters have already mentioned. More information can be found here.
What is the difference between an inner join and outer join? What's the precise meaning of these two kinds of joins?

Wikipedia has a nice long article on the topic [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_(SQL))
But basically :
Inner joins return results where there are rows that satisfy the where clause in ALL tables
Outer joins return results where there are rows that satisfy the where clause in at least one of the tables
You use INNER JOIN to return all rows from both tables where there is a match. ie. in the resulting table all the rows and columns will have values.
In OUTER JOIN the resulting table may have empty columns. Outer join may be either LEFT or RIGHT
LEFT OUTER JOIN returns all the rows from the first table, even if there are no matches in the second table.
RIGHT OUTER JOIN returns all the rows from the second table, even if there are no matches in the first table.
INNER JOIN returns rows that exist in both tables
OUTER JOIN returns all rows that exist in either table
Inner join only returns a joined row if the record appears in both table.
Outer join depending on direction will show all records from one table, joined to the data from them joined table where a corresponding row exists
Using mathematical Set,
Inner Join is A ^ B;
Outer Join is A - B.
So it is (+) is your A side in the query.
Assume an example schema with customers and order:
INNER JOIN: Retrieves customers with orders only.
LEFT OUTER JOIN: Retrieves all customers with or without orders.
RIGHT OUTER JOIN: Retrieves all orders with or without matching customer records.
