Two SQL Queries With Some Overlapping Data - sql

Question

I'm trying to combine two different SQL queries into one table. I've tried various joins and Union but it either duplicates rows or doesn't show all of them.
The first query is
Select
HW.DisplayName,
HW.LocationDetails_0B39A057_2BE8_11B2_BBE2_1E03564AA5CA,
HW.Notes_5CFC0E2A_AB82_5830_D4BB_0596CBED1984
FROM MT_Cireson$AssetManagement$HardwareAsset HW
where HardwareAssetStatus_3019ADDF_4F3D_2C55_2024_72C22E11F4CF = '866879DF-8FB6-E521-F0E3-FEF86EE1BC92'
This gives all of my hardware assets that have the status I'm looking for.
The second query is:
SELECT
hw.DisplayName,
HW.LocationDetails_0B39A057_2BE8_11B2_BBE2_1E03564AA5CA,
HW.Notes_5CFC0E2A_AB82_5830_D4BB_0596CBED1984,
UB.UPN_7641DFF7_7A20_DC04_FC1C_B6FA8715DA02
FROM MT_Cireson$AssetManagement$HardwareAsset HW
inner join Relationship Rel on HW.BaseManagedEntityId = Rel.SourceEntityId
inner join RelationshipType RT on RT.RelationshipTypeId = Rel.RelationshipTypeId
inner join MT_Microsoft$AD$UserBase UB on UB.BaseManagedEntityId = Rel.TargetEntityId
where RT.RelationshipTypeName = 'Cireson.AssetManagement.HardwareAssetHasPrimaryUser'
and HardwareAssetStatus_3019ADDF_4F3D_2C55_2024_72C22E11F4CF = '866879DF-8FB6-E521-F0E3-FEF86EE1BC92'
This gives all of the hardware assets I'm looking for that have a primary user configured, but doesn't give the assets without a primary user. I'm not sure how to either A: combine the results just putting in NULL as a primary user for records that don't have one, or B: actually query all the assets at one time and include the primary user column.
I didn't write the second query and I'm not sure exactly how it works. I've tried doing union between the queries but that duplicates the rows because the first query already contains all the elements in the second.
Edit: The PrimaryUser comes from the MT_Microsoft$AD$UserBase table. I've tried adding another column to the first and just setting it as null like:
null as primaryUser,

How about a LEFT JOIN to include all records from HW that are not in UB:
SELECT
hw.DisplayName,
HW.LocationDetails_0B39A057_2BE8_11B2_BBE2_1E03564AA5CA,
HW.Notes_5CFC0E2A_AB82_5830_D4BB_0596CBED1984,
UB.UPN_7641DFF7_7A20_DC04_FC1C_B6FA8715DA02
FROM
MT_Cireson$AssetManagement$HardwareAsset HW
INNER JOIN
Relationship Rel
ON
HW.BaseManagedEntityId = Rel.SourceEntityId
INNER JOIN
RelationshipType RT
ON
RT.RelationshipTypeId = Rel.RelationshipTypeId
LEFT JOIN
MT_Microsoft$AD$UserBase UB
ON
UB.BaseManagedEntityId = Rel.TargetEntityId
WHERE
RT.RelationshipTypeName = 'Cireson.AssetManagement.HardwareAssetHasPrimaryUser'
AND HardwareAssetStatus_3019ADDF_4F3D_2C55_2024_72C22E11F4CF = '866879DF-8FB6-E521-F0E3-FEF86EE1BC92'
UPDATE:
If the null primary users is what you want, I would recraft the query like:
SELECT
hw.DisplayName,
HW.LocationDetails_0B39A057_2BE8_11B2_BBE2_1E03564AA5CA,
HW.Notes_5CFC0E2A_AB82_5830_D4BB_0596CBED1984,
UB.UPN_7641DFF7_7A20_DC04_FC1C_B6FA8715DA02
FROM
MT_Cireson$AssetManagement$HardwareAsset HW
LEFT JOIN
MT_Microsoft$AD$UserBase UB
ON
HW.BaseManagedEntityId = UB.SourceEntityId
INNER JOIN
RelationshipType RT
ON
RT.RelationshipTypeId = Rel.RelationshipTypeId
INNER JOIN
Relationship Rel
ON
UB.BaseManagedEntityId = Rel.TargetEntityId
WHERE
RT.RelationshipTypeName = 'Cireson.AssetManagement.HardwareAssetHasPrimaryUser'
AND HardwareAssetStatus_3019ADDF_4F3D_2C55_2024_72C22E11F4CF = '866879DF-8FB6-E521-F0E3-FEF86EE1BC92'
I LEFT JOIN'ed HW and UB tables.
As I said earlier, you'll have to tweak the joins. I would try a LEFT JOIN on all tables.

Answer 2

you have an extra column in your 1st query that's why you have duplicates in your union. I would suggest using CTE, there might be other better efficient solutions out there.
;WITH query1
AS
(
SELECT col1, col2
FROM table
),
query2 AS
(
SELECT col1, col2
FROM table
)
SELECT *
FROM cteTable1
UNION ALL
SELECT *
FROM cteTable2
WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM cteTable1 WHERE cteTable1.col1 = cteTable2.col2)
