I am trying to consolidate data from multiple tables (at least 6) using LEFT JOINs. I am getting an error ‘JOIN EXPRESSION NOT SUPPORTED’ when I go beyond adding a 3rd LEFT JOIN to the query.
SELECT *
FROM
(
(Flat_File ff
left join Cost_Drivers cd on cd.Cost_Driver_Reported_Name = ff.Cost_Driver)
left join BM_IAA bmiaa on bmiaa.Section_Name = cd.Cost_Driver_Billing_Model_Section_Name)
left join BM_Allocations bma
on
(bma.Fiscal_Year = ff.Fiscal_Year) and (bma.Section_Name = cd.Cost_Driver_Billing_Model_Section_Name)
Doing this gives me the "Join expression not supported" error. However If I remove one of the criteria in the final Left Join, it works. Is there a syntax issue I'm having?
In MS Access, if you have more than one jointure, you MUST surround all your joins with parenthesis.
Your query should be
SELECT *
FROM
(((Flat_File ff
left join Cost_Drivers cd on cd.Cost_Driver_Reported_Name = ff.Cost_Driver)
left join BM_IAA bmiaa on bmiaa.Section_Name = cd.Cost_Driver_Billing_Model_Section_Name)
left join BM_Allocations bma
on ((bma.Fiscal_Year = ff.Fiscal_Year) and (bma.Section_Name = cd.Cost_Driver_Billing_Model_Section_Name)))

I need to do a query with a left outer join just like below, however Access is showing a warning dialog "JOIN expression not supported".I understand that Access doesn't support INNER JOIN nested inside a LEFT JOIN but as I am a beginner in SQL I don't see any other way to get the same result.
The goal of the query is to get everything that is in the select even when InvoiceItems.Amount is null.
SELECT MainOrder.OrderNumber, OrderComponent.ArticleNumber, SupplierOrderMain.*, InvoiceItems.Amount
FROM InvoiceItems LEFT JOIN
((MainOrder INNER JOIN
OrderComponent
ON MainOrder.OrderNumber = OrderComponent.OrderNumber
) INNER JOIN
SupplierOrderMain
ON OrderComponent.ID = SupplierOrderMain.OrderComponentID
)
ON InvoiceItems.OrderComponent = OrderComponent.ID;
I'm not sure why you would want outer joins in this situation at all (you don't explain why). But just start with the table where you want to keep everything and work from there:
SELECT MainOrder.OrderNumber, OrderComponent.ArticleNumber, SupplierOrderMain.*, InvoiceItems.Amount
FROM ((InvoiceItems LEFT JOIN
OrderComponent
ON InvoiceItems.OrderComponent = OrderComponent.ID
) LEFT JOIN
MainOrder
ON MainOrder.OrderNumber = OrderComponent.OrderNumber
) LEFT JOIN
SupplierOrderMain
ON OrderComponent.ID = SupplierOrderMain.OrderComponentID
I can simply use a select statment on a join to pull results I'd Like using:
Select * from RESULTS (NOLOCK) left join orders on Results.ordno = orders.ordno
left join folders on folders.folderno = orders.folderno
left join pranaparms on folders.prodcode = pranaparms.prodcode and results.analyte = pranaparms.analyte
WHERE Results.s <> 'OOS-A' and Results.Final Between pranaparms.LOWERQCLIMIT and pranaparms.UPPERQCLIMIT and (pranaparms.LOWERQCLIMIT IS NOT NULL and pranaparms.UPPERQCLIMIT IS NOT NULL)
and results.ordno in (1277494)
However, is there a convenient way which I could do an update on the selected fields?
I have tried this so far:
Update RESULTS (NOLOCK) left join orders on Results.ordno = orders.ordno
left join folders on folders.folderno = orders.folderno
left join pranaparms on folders.prodcode = pranaparms.prodcode and results.analyte = pranaparms.analyte
set Results.S = 'OOS-B'
WHERE Results.s <> 'OOS-A' and Results.Final Between pranaparms.LOWERQCLIMIT and pranaparms.UPPERQCLIMIT and (pranaparms.LOWERQCLIMIT IS NOT NULL and pranaparms.UPPERQCLIMIT IS NOT NULL)
and results.ordno in (1277494)
However, it is passing an error indicating "Incorrect syntax near '('"
Is there a way for me to update off of this join or will I need to do tables individually?
Your select syntax suggests SQL Server. The correct update syntax in SQL Server is:
update r
set S = 'OOS-B'
from results r left join
orders o
on r.ordno = o.ordno left join
folders f
on f.folderno = o.folderno left join
pranaparms p
on f.prodcode = p.prodcode and r.analyte = p.analyte
where r.s <> 'OOS-A' and
r.Final Between p.LOWERQCLIMIT and p.UPPERQCLIMIT and
(p.LOWERQCLIMIT IS NOT NULL and p.UPPERQCLIMIT IS NOT NULL) and
r.ordno in (1277494);
Notes:
Table aliases make the query much easier to write and to read.
Do not use NOLOCK unless you know what you are doing. Given that you don't know the syntax rules for update for the database you are using, I will guess that you don't understand locks either.
Your WHERE conditions are turning the outer joins into inner joins. You should just specify the correct join type -- and probably move the conditions to the on clauses. I've left the logic as you wrote it.
My current query show the data from the table called "Buque" and has some references from another tables. The problem is when i execute the query it never shows the result because it consumes too much memory i guess.
The current query i have
select buq.buq_codigo, tbu.tbu_codigo, tbu.tbu_nombre, pai.pai_codigo, pai.pai_nombre,
pue.pto_codigo, pue.pto_nombre, lin.lin_codigo, lin.lin_nombre, tra.tra_codigo,
tra.tra_nombre, buq.buq_nombre, buq.buq_des, buq.num_trb, buq.num_eslora,
buq.max_tons, buq.reg_lloyd, buq.buq_codigo1, buq.codigo_omi,
case buq.buq_estado when 'A' then 'Activo' else 'Inactivo' end as buq_estado
from publico.mae_buque as buq, publico.mae_tipbuque as tbu, publico.mae_pais as pai,
publico.mae_puerto as pue, publico.mae_linea as lin, publico.mae_trafico as tra
where buq.tbu_codigo = tbu.tbu_codigo or
buq.pai_codigo = pai.pai_codigo or
buq.pto_codigo = pue.pto_codigo or
buq.lin_codigo = lin.lin_codigo or
buq.tra_codigo = tra.tra_codigo
I also tried with inner joins but the problem is it returns me the data that meets the conditions of the joins. In other words, if the join has data to compare, returns the name, if not, show the null data.
The query must return me 611 records, with inner joins returns 68 records.
Concerning your desired result, use left outer joins, which fill up any non-existing rows of the right hand side table with null-values;
Concerning the out of memory issue, note that you used or to connect your tables; this actually leads to the fact that almost every record of the involved tables is connected to almost every other record (almost a cross join / cartesian product); This can get very large if you connect 6 tables...
select buq.buq_codigo, tbu.tbu_codigo, tbu.tbu_nombre, pai.pai_codigo, pai.pai_nombre,
pue.pto_codigo, pue.pto_nombre, lin.lin_codigo, lin.lin_nombre, tra.tra_codigo,
tra.tra_nombre, buq.buq_nombre, buq.buq_des, buq.num_trb, buq.num_eslora,
buq.max_tons, buq.reg_lloyd, buq.buq_codigo1, buq.codigo_omi,
case buq.buq_estado when 'A' then 'Activo' else 'Inactivo' end as buq_estado
from publico.mae_buque as buq
left outer join publico.mae_tipbuque as tbu on buq.tbu_codigo = tbu.tbu_codigo
left outer join publico.mae_pais as pai on (buq.pai_codigo = pai.pai_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_puerto as pue on (buq.pto_codigo = pue.pto_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_linea as lin on (buq.lin_codigo = lin.lin_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_trafico as tra on (buq.tra_codigo = tra.tra_codigo)
You have to use left outer join:
select *
from
publico.mae_buque as buq
left outer join publico.mae_tipbuque as tbu on (buq.tbu_codigo = tbu.tbu_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_pais as pai on (buq.pai_codigo = pai.pai_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_puerto as pue on (buq.pto_codigo = pue.pto_codigo )
left outer join publico.mae_linea as lin on (buq.lin_codigo = lin.lin_codigo)
left outer join publico.mae_trafico as tra on (buq.tra_codigo = tra.tra_codigo);
I'm trying to pass this query to inner join, but it does not know how?
This is the query I want to use InnerJoin with these values where
SELECT

interface.id_tecnologia,
tecnologia.id_tecnologia,
eqpto.id_centro,
eqpto.id_rede
FROM
app_gpa_ticket.ticket,
app_gpa_ticket.historico,

centro.id_centro = eqpto.id_centro AND
eqpto.id_eqpto = interface.id_eqpto AND
eqpto.id_rede = ticket.id_rede AND
tecnologia.id_tecnologia = interface.id_tecnologia;
Thank you!
I think you are trying to go to the standard (explicit) syntax. What you need to do is take what would be your JOIN operators in the WHERE clause and move them near the table itself. What you need to know is what tables on the left (Before the INNER JOIN operator you are joining to the right (After the INNER JOIN operator)
SELECT
ticket.id_ticket,
ticket.id_rede,
historico.id_historico,
historico.id_ticket,

FROM app_gpa_ticket.ticket
INNER JOIN app_gpa_ticket.historico ON ticket.id_ticket = historico.id_ticket

Trying to create an outer join on two other joined tables when recieving this error - I just dont see how to create two separate queries to make it work. Subqueries don't seem to work either, any help appreciated. I get errors for the below query, thanks.
SELECT
CardHeader.CardID, CardHeader.CardDescription, CardHeader.GloveSize,
CardHeader.GloveDescription, CardDetail.Bin, CardDetail.ItemID, Items.ItemDescription,
Items.VCatalogID, CardDetail.ChargeCode, CardDetail.Quantity, Items.Cost, CardColors.ColorID
FROM
((Items
INNER JOIN
(CardHeader INNER JOIN CardDetail ON CardHeader.CardID = CardDetail.CardID) ON Items.ItemID = CardDetail.ItemID)
LEFT JOIN
CardColors ON CardDetail.ItemID = CardColors.ItemID)
INNER JOIN
Colors ON CardColors.ColorID = Colors.ID
ORDER BY
CardHeader.CardID;
I tried the following which runs but asks for the following parameters (which it shouldnt)
CardHeader.ID, MainQry.CardID
SELECT
MainQry.ID, MainQry.CardDescription, MainQry.GloveSize,
MainQry.GloveDescription, MainQry.Bin, MainQry.ItemID,
MainQry.ItemDescription, MainQry.VCatalogID, MainQry.ChargeCode,
MainQry.Quantity, MainQry.Cost, SubQry.ColorID
FROM
(SELECT
CardHeader.ID, CardHeader.CardDescription, CardHeader.GloveSize,
CardHeader.GloveDescription, CardDetail.Bin,
CardDetail.ItemID, Items.ItemDescription, Items.VCatalogID,
CardDetail.ChargeCode, CardDetail.Quantity, Items.Cost
FROM
Items
INNER JOIN
(CardHeader
INNER JOIN
CardDetail ON CardHeader.CardID = CardDetail.CardID) ON Items.ItemID = CardDetail.ItemID
) AS MainQry
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT
CardColors.ItemID, CardColors.ColorID
FROM
CardColors
INNER JOIN
Colors ON CardColors.ColorID = Colors.ID) AS SubQry ON MainQry.ItemID = SubQry.ItemID
ORDER BY
MainQry.CardID;
The second SQL statement can be corrected by reference to the first statement and the error. The error is that both CardHeader.ID and MainQry.CardID are prompting for a parameter, which indicates that the inner statement should include CardHeader.CardID, rather than CardHeader.ID
