and thanks in advance. I am a newbie, working on one of my first reports. I have orders, which have a terminal assigned them (a "DC"). The report is set up to return all open orders, the "DC", and a few other columns (driver #, city, etc). I made a drop down filter to use so I can look at one, several, or all of the DCs. My problem is, it stops looking after the first item that is checked in the drop down list. So if the first item in the list has 100 orders, but the rest of them have thousands more, it only shows me the 100 orders. Am I making any sense here? I am not sure what information from my report's setup would be pertinent here.
This is the query that the report is based on. Using SQL Report Builder.
SELECT
o.OrderTrackingID,
cm.accountno,
o.ClientRefNo,
o.DCoName,
o.DStreet,
o.DCity,
o.DState,
o.DZip,
o.DZone,
t.TerminalName as 'OrderDC',
e.LastName as 'DrvLast',
e.FirstName as 'DrvFirst',
e.DriverNo,
et.TerminalName as 'DriverDC'
FROM Orders o
FULL JOIN OrderDrivers od ON o.OrderTrackingID = od.OrderTrackingID
FULL JOIN Employees e ON od.DriverID = e.ID
FULL JOIN ClientMaster cm ON o.ClientID = cm.ClientID
FULL JOIN Terminals t ON o.TerminalID = t.TerminalID
FULL JOIN Terminals et ON e.TerminalID = et.TerminalID
WHERE o.Status = 'N'
Order By o.aTimeStamp ASC
(I am writing this as an answer even if it isn't an complete answer mostly because the comment field is kind of limited.)
In the SQL you posted the below stands out as wrong
FULL JOIN Terminals t ON o.TerminalID = t.TerminalID
FULL JOIN Terminals et ON e.TerminalID = et.TerminalID
You are joining the same table twice but the is nothing that separated the two joins and this is my guess why you are not getting any more orders in your report.
I don't now what the drop down list corresponds to but I assume it is some kind of identifier in the Terminals table.
From a pure SQL point of view I would expect something like this
FULL JOIN Terminals t ON o.TerminalID = t.TerminalID
WHERE t.someColumn IN (value1, value2)
where value1 and value2 comes from the drop down list.
I see in your select part that you include the same column from both of the Terminals JOIN you have and I expect those two columns to always have the same values. You should need that column only once in your select list.
Not a solution but maybe this can get you in the right direction.

Using Oracle SQL Developer, I have three tables with some common data that I need to join.
Appreciate any help on this!
Please refer to https://i.stack.imgur.com/f37Jh.png for the input and desired output (table formatting doesn't work on all tables).
These tables are made up in order to anonymize them, and in reality contain other data with millions of entries, but you could think of them as representing:
Product = Main product categories in a grocery store.
Subproduct = Subcategory products to the above. Each time the table is updated, the main product category may loses or get some new suproducts assigned to it. E.g. you can see that from May to June the Pulled pork entered while the Fishsoup was thrown out.
Issues = Status of the products, for example an apple is bad if it has brown spots on it..
What I need to find is: for each P_NAME, find the latest updated set of subproducts (SP_ID and SP_NAME), and append that information with the latest updated issue status (STATUS_FLAG).
Please note that each main product category gets its set of subproducts updated at individual occasions i.e. 1234 and 5678 might be "latest updated" on different dates.
I have tried multiple queries but failed each time. I am using combos of SELECT, LEFT OUTER JOIN, JOIN, MAX and GROUP BY.
Latest attempt, which gives me the combo of the first two tables, but missing the third:
SELECT
PRODUCT.P_NAME,
SUBPRODUCT.SP_PRODUCT_ID, SUBPRODUCT.SP_NAME, SUBPRODUCT.SP_ID, SUPPRODUCT.SP_VALUE_DATE
FROM SUBPRODUCT
LEFT OUTER JOIN PRODUCT ON PRODUCT.P_ID = SUBPRODUCT.SP_PRODUCT_ID
JOIN(SELECT SP_PRODUCT_ID, MAX(SP_VALUE_DATE) AS latestdate FROM SUBPRODUCT GROUP BY SP_PRODUCT_ID) sub ON
sub.SP_PRODUCT_ID = SUBPRODUCT.SP_PRODUCT_ID AND sub.latestDate = SUBPRODUCT.SP_VALUE_DATE;
Trying to find a row with a max value is a common SQL pattern - you can do it with a join, like your example, but it's usually more clear to use a subquery or a window function.
Correlated subquery example
select
PRODUCT.P_NAME,
SUBPRODUCT.SP_PRODUCT_ID, SUBPRODUCT.SP_NAME, SUBPRODUCT.SP_ID, SUPPRODUCT.SP_VALUE_DATE,
ISSUES.STATUS_FLAG, ISSUES.STATUS_LAST_UPDATED
from PRODUCT
join SUBPRODUCT
on PRODUCT.P_ID = SUBPRODUCT.SP_PRODUCT_ID
and SUBPRODUCT.SP_VALUE_DATE = (select max(S2.SP_VALUE_DATE) as latestDate
from SUBPRODUCT S2
where S2.SP_PRODUCT_ID = SUBPRODUCT.SP_PRODUCT_ID)
join ISSUES
on ISSUES.ISSUE_ID = SUBPRODUCT.SP_ID
and ISSUES.STATUS_LAST_UPDATED = (select max(I2.STATUS_LAST_UPDATED) as latestDate
from ISSUES I2
where I2.ISSUE_ID = ISSUES.ISSUE_ID)
Window function / inline view example
select
PRODUCT.P_NAME,
S.SP_PRODUCT_ID, S.SP_NAME, S.SP_ID, S.SP_VALUE_DATE,
I.STATUS_FLAG, I.STATUS_LAST_UPDATED
from PRODUCT
join (select SUBPRODUCT.*,
max(SP_VALUE_DATE) over (partition by SP_PRODUCT_ID) as latestDate
from SUBPRODUCT) S
on PRODUCT.P_ID = S.SP_PRODUCT_ID
and S.SP_VALUE_DATE = S.latestDate
join (select ISSUES.*,
max(STATUS_LAST_UPDATED) over (partition by ISSUE_ID) as latestDate
from ISSUES) I
on I.ISSUE_ID = S.SP_ID
and I.STATUS_LAST_UPDATED = I.latestDate
This often performs a bit better, but window functions can be tricky to understand.
I made a query and wanted to not have any duplicates but i got some times 3 duplicates and when i used DISTINCT or DISTINCTROW i got only 2 duplicates.
SELECT f.flight_code,
f.status,
a.airport_name,
a1.airport_name,
f.departing_date+f.departing_time AS SupposedDepartingTime,
f.landing_date+f.landing_time AS SupposedLandingTime,
de.actual_takeoff_date+de.actual_takeoff_time AS ActualDepartingTime,
SupposedLandingTime+(ActualDepartingTime-SupposedDepartingTime) AS ActualLandingTime
FROM
(((Flights AS f
LEFT JOIN Aireports AS a
ON a.airport_code = f.depart_ap)
LEFT JOIN Aireports AS a1
ON f.target_ap = a1.airport_code)
LEFT JOIN Irregular_Events AS ie
ON f.flight_code = ie.flight_code)
LEFT JOIN Delay_Event AS de
ON ie.IE_code = de.delay_code;
had to use LEFT JOIN because when i used INNER JOIN i missed some of the things i wanted to show because i wanted to see all the flights and not only the flights that got delayed or canceled.
This is the results when i used INNER JOIN, you can see only the flights that have the status "ביטול" or "עיכוב" and that is not what i wanted.
[the results with LEFT JOIN][2]
[2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cgE2G.png
and when i used DISTINCT where you see the rows with the NUMBER 6 on the first column it appear only two times
IMPORTANT!
I just checked my query and all the tables i use there and i saw my problem but dont know how to fix it!
in the table Irregular_Events i have more the one event for flights 3,6 and 8 and that is why when i use LEFT JOIN i see more even thou i use distinct, please give me some help!
Not entirely sure without seeing the table structure, but this might work:
SELECT f.flight_code,
f.status,
a.airport_name,
a1.airport_name,
f.departing_date+f.departing_time AS SupposedDepartingTime,
f.landing_date+f.landing_time AS SupposedLandingTime,
de.actual_takeoff_date+de.actual_takeoff_time AS ActualDepartingTime,
SupposedLandingTime+(ActualDepartingTime-SupposedDepartingTime) AS ActualLandingTime
FROM
((Flights AS f
LEFT JOIN Aireports AS a
ON a.airport_code = f.depart_ap)
LEFT JOIN Aireports AS a1
ON f.target_ap = a1.airport_code)
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT
ie.flight_code,
de1.actual_takeoff_date,
de1.actual_takeoff_time
FROM
Irregular_Events ie
INNER JOIN Event AS de1
ON ie.IE_code = de1.delay_code
) AS de
ON f.flight_code = de.flight_code
It is hard to tell what is the problem with your query without any sample of the output, and without any description of the structure of your tables.
But your problem is that your are querying from the flights table, which [I assume] can be linked to multiple irregular_events, which can possibly also be linked to multiple delay_event.
If you want to get only one row per flight, you need to make sure your joins return only one row too. Maybe you can do it by adding one more condition to the join, or by adding a condition in a sub-query.
EDIT
You could try to add a GROUP BY to the query:
GROUP BY
f.flight_code,
f.status,
a.airport_name,
a1.airport_name;
I am getting different results for the following two queries and I have no idea why. The only difference is one has an IN and one has an equals.
Before I go into the queries you should know that I found a better way to do it by moving the subquery into a common table expression, but this is still driving me crazy! I really want to know what caused the issue in the first place, I am asking out of curiosity
Here's the first query:
use [DB.90_39733]
Select distinct x.uniqproducer, cn.Firstname,cn.lastname,e.code,
ecn.FirstName, ecn.LastName, ecn.entid, x.uniqline
from product x
join employ e on e.EmpID=x.uniqproducer
join contactname cn on cn.uniqentity=e.uniqentity
join [ETL_GAWR92]..idlookupentity ide on ide.enttype='EM'
and ide.UniqEntity=e.UniqEntity
left join [ETL_GAWR92]..EntConName ecn on ecn.entid=ide.empid
and ecn.opt='Y'
Where x.UniqProducer =(SELECT TOP 1 idl.UniqEntity
FROM [ETL_GAWR92]..IDLookupEntity idl
LEFT JOIN [ETL_GAWR92]..Employ e2 ON e2.ProdID = ''
WHERE idl.empID = e2.EmpID AND
idl.EntType = 'EM')
And the second one:
use [DB.90_39733]
Select distinct x.uniqproducer, cn.Firstname,cn.lastname,e.code,
ecn.FirstName, ecn.LastName, ecn.entid, x.uniqline
from product x
join employ e on e.EmpID=x.uniqproducer
join contactname cn on cn.uniqentity=e.uniqentity
join [ETL_GAWR92]..idlookupentity ide on ide.enttype='EM'
and ide.UniqEntity=e.UniqEntity
left join [ETL_GAWR92]..EntConName ecn on ecn.entid=ide.empid
and ecn.opt='Y'
Where x.UniqProducer IN (SELECT TOP 1 idl.UniqEntity
FROM [ETL_GAWR92]..IDLookupEntity idl
LEFT JOIN [ETL_GAWR92]..Employ e2 ON e2.ProdID = ''
WHERE idl.empID = e2.EmpID AND
idl.EntType = 'EM')
The first query returns 0 rows while the second query returns 2 rows.The only difference is x.UniqProducer = versus x.UniqProducer IN for the last where clause.
Thanks for your time
SELECT TOP 1 doesn't guarantee that the same record will be returned each time.
Add an ORDER BY to your select to make sure the same record is returned.
(SELECT TOP 1 idl.UniqEntity
FROM [ETL_GAWR92]..IDLookupEntity idl
LEFT JOIN [ETL_GAWR92]..Employ e2 ON e2.ProdID = ''
WHERE idl.empID = e2.EmpID AND
idl.EntType = 'EM' ORDER BY idl.UniqEntity)
I would guess (with strong emphasis on the word “guess”) that the reason is based on how equals and in are processed by the query engine. For equals, SQL knows it needs to do a comparison with a specific value, where for in, SQL knows it needs to build a subset, and find if the "outer" value is in that "inner" subset. Yes, the end results should be the same as there’s only 1 row returned by the subquery, but as #RickS pointed out, without any ordering there’s no guarantee of which value ends up “on top” – and the (sub)query plan used to build the in - driven subquery might differ from that used by the equals pull.
A follow-up question: which is the correct dataset? When you analyze the actual data, should you have gotten zero, two, or a different number of rows?
Good people of the internet, I need your help!
I'm trying to put together some SQL code to create a report. Basically, I'm needing to look at one table - tbl_Schedules - and fetch the maximum of the field SchedDone, which is a regular date field.
This is fair enough. I manage this using GROUP BY and MAX.
The same table also contains SchedFrom and SchedTo fields, and I need to get this from another record, but run alongside this.
Basically, I need a "LatestDate" field (which shows the max SchedDone), and then a "next scheduled" field (or fields), showing when it is next to be done, pulled from a row where the SchedDone is null.
My current code, displayed below (ignore everything but the tbl_Schedules stuff) is working to an extent. It shows the LatestDate as described above, but also shows the maximum of that Task's SchedFrom and SchedTo. These are all from different rows in the tbl_Schedules, which is what I want. I just need to know how to set up rules for the SchedFrom and SchedTo, preferably without involving any other tables or setting up multiple views.
I do have this working, but it's taking up several views and the speed involved is not good. I'd hope I can get it working in a single chunk of SQL code.
PS - tbl_PhysicalAssets is a one-to-many relationship with tbl_Operations (one row in tbl_PhysicalAssets to many in tbl_Operations), and tbl_Operations is a one-to-many relationship with tbl_Schedules (one row in tbl_Operations to many in tbl_Schedules).
Current code below (again, please ignore the other tables!) -
SELECT
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.FKID_Contract,
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.MyLevel,
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.L1_Name,
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.L2_Name,
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.L3_Name,
dbo.tbl_OpList.Operation_Name,
dbo.tbl_Teams.Team_Name,
MAX(tbl_Schedules_1.SchedDone) AS LatestDate,
MAX(tbl_Schedules_1.SchedFrom) AS Expr1,
MAX(tbl_Schedules_1.SchedTo) AS Expr2
FROM
dbo.tbl_Schedules AS tbl_Schedules_1
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset
INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_Operations ON dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.PKID_PhysicalAsset = dbo.tbl_Operations.FKID_PhysicalAsset
INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_OpList ON dbo.tbl_Operations.FKID_Operation = dbo.tbl_OpList.PKID_Op
INNER JOIN
dbo.tbl_Teams ON dbo.tbl_Operations.FKID_Team = dbo.tbl_Teams.PKID_Team ON tbl_Schedules_1.FKID_Operation = dbo.tbl_Operations.PKID_Operation
GROUP BY
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.FKID_Contract,
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.MyLevel,
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.L1_Name,
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.L2_Name,
dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.L3_Name,
dbo.tbl_OpList.Operation_Name,
dbo.tbl_Teams.Team_Name
HAVING
(dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.FKID_Contract = 6)
AND (dbo.tbl_PhysicalAsset.MyLevel = 3)
This is rough as we don't know the exact details of your table structure.
But basically you need to first write the queries that get the two separate bits of information, make sure they work in isolation. You can then just join them together.
So something like (I've assumed FKID_Operation is the 'common' piece of info):
select
a.FKID_Operation
, b.LatestDate
, c.NextToDate
, c.NextFromDate
from tbl_Schedules a
inner join
(
select
m.FKID_Operation
, Max(m.SchedDone) as LatestDate
from tbl_Schedules m
where SchedDone is not null
) b
on a.FKID_Operation = b.FKID_Operation
inner join
(
select
n.FKID_Operation
, n.SchedTo as NextToDate
, n.SchedFrom as NextFromDate
from tbl_Schedules n
where SchedDone is null
) c
on a.FKID_Operation = c.FKID_Operation
I'd also look into CTE's as they can make this kind of query much easier to understand.
I have a PHP page running in postgres. I have 3 tables - workorders, wo_parts and part2vendor. I am trying to multiply 2 table column row datas together, ie wo_parts has a field called qty and part2vendor has a field called cost. These 2 are joined by wo_parts.pn and part2vendor.pn. I have created a query like this:
$scoreCostQuery = "SELECT SUM(part2vendor.cost*wo_parts.qty) as total_score
FROM part2vendor
INNER JOIN wo_parts
ON (wo_parts.pn=part2vendor.pn)
WHERE workorder=$workorder";
But if I add the costs of the parts multiplied by the qauntities supplied, it adds to a different number than what the script is doing. Help....I am new to this but if someone can show me in SQL I can modify it for postgres. Thanks
Without seeing example data, there's no way for us to know why you're query totals are coming out differently that when you do the math by hand. It could be a bad join, so you are getting more/less records than you expected. It's also possible that your calculations are off. Pick an example with the smallest number of associated records & compare.
My suggestion is to add a GROUP BY to the query:
SELECT SUM(p.cost * wp.qty) as total_score
FROM part2vendor p
JOIN wo_parts wp ON wp.pn = p.pn
WHERE workorder = $workorder
GROUP BY workorder
FYI: MySQL was designed to allow flexibility in the GROUP BY, while no other db I've used does - it's a source of numerous questions on SO "why does this work in MySQL when it doesn't work on db x...".
To Check that your Quantities are correct:
SELECT wp.qty,
p.cost
FROM WO_PARTS wp
JOIN PART2VENDOR p ON p.pn = wp.pn
WHERE p.workorder = $workorder
Check that the numbers are correct for a given order.
You could try a sub-query instead.
(Note, I don't have a Postgres installation to test this on so consider this more like pseudo code than a working example... It does work in MySQL tho)
SELECT
SUM(p.`score`) AS 'total_score'
FROM part2vendor AS p2v
INNER JOIN (
SELECT pn, cost * qty AS `score`
FROM wo_parts
) AS p
ON p.pn = p2v.pn
WHERE p2n.workorder=$workorder"
In the question, you say the cost column is in part2vendor, but in the query you reference wo_parts.cost. If the wo_parts table has its own cost column, that's the source of the problem.
