The task is: to join two tables, but not just by columns. Suppose there are tables t1 and t2. In t1, the columns {id, namet1}, t2 - {id, id_t1_with000, namet2}.
Example
t1.id:
1
2
3
....
Example
t2.id_t1_with000:
100
200
300
....
Problem: how to connect the tables t1 and t2 with t1.id and t2.id_t1_with000.
I thought that it is possible so:
SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 on t1.id = t2.id_t1_with000 [3]
How can such a connection be made? How about this google? nothing I could not find.
You could join the tables using a substring.
example:
select * from table1 t1
join table2 t2 on substring(cast(t2.id as varchar), 1, len(t2.id)-2) = t1.id
With help of the SubString you can simply extract the ID from all those zero's.
"len(t2.id)-2" because you have 2 zero's behind your ID.
This only works if your id is always filled with the same amount of zero's

I want to fetch all records with all columns of a table, Records which are not in the other 2 tables. Please help.
I have tried below query, it is working fine for comparing one column. But I want to compare 5 columns.
select * from A
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(select * from B b where b.id=a.id) AND
NOT EXISTS
(select * from C c where c.id=a.id)
A general solution might look like:
SELECT t1.*
FROM table1 t1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM table2 t2 WHERE t2.id = t1.t2_id) AND
NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM table3 t3 WHERE t3.id = t1.t3_id);
This assumes that you want to target table1 for records, ensuring that no matches can found in table2 and table3.
I prefer this approach:
SELECT t1.*
FROM table1 AS t1
LEFT JOIN table2 AS t2
ON t1.id = t2.t1_id
LEFT JOIN table3 AS t3
ON t1.id = t3.t1_id
WHERE t2.id IS NULL
AND t3.id IS NULL;
While this might be a bit less intuitive than using sub queries I think odds of making mistakes with aliases are less likely as in the example below, which happens more often than you might expect:
SELECT *
FROM table1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM table2 WHERE id = id) AND
NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM table3 WHERE id = id);
To your question about checks on 5 columns, that can still be done using either of these methods by adding conditions either in the left joins or in the where clause of each sub query.
I have two tables, table1 and table2. table1 has 'id' column. table2 has 'id' and 'quantity' columns. I want to compare the same values under 'id' columns from both tables and show the value under 'quantity' column form table2.
The simple logic is "select id=1 from table1 compare with select id=1 from table2, then show the quantity value from table2". Is there any way to query this statement?
Join the tables:
SELECT *
FROM
table1 t1
INNER JOIN table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id
Using INNER JOIN will cause the results to show only rows where the same ID is present in both tables. If you want to show all rows from table 1 and matching rows from table 2 plus blanks for any rows where there is no table 2 id for a particular table 1 id, then use LEFT JOIN instead of INNER JOIN.
If you only want certain columns in your output you can list them:
SELECT t1.id, t2.quantity
...
etc
More about joins - for future learning
In most other database systems there exists the corollary of LEFT join; RIGHT join. If you want all rows from table 2 plus matching rows from table 1, and blanks where there is no related table 1 row, use RIGHT JOIN. SQLite doesn't support RIGHT joins, so you'll have to rewrite your query (swap the table names around) so t2 is on the LEFT. It's the table name that matters, not the order of appearance in the ON section:
--all rows from t1 plus any matching rows from t2
SELECT *
FROM
table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id
--all rows from t2 plus any matching rows from t1
SELECT *
FROM
table2 t2
LEFT JOIN table1 t1
ON t1.id = t2.id
Eventually you'll come across a FULL [OUTER] JOIN which is "all rows from t1 and any matching from t2, plus any additional rows from t2 and their possible matches from t1". SQLite doesn't support this either, but it can be emulated. Ordinarily it's emulated with a LEFT JOIN UNION RIGHT JOIN, but as SQLite doesn't support RIGHT, you'll have to emulate it with two LEFT joins, one with the tables swapped round:
--all rows from t1 plus any matching rows from t2
SELECT *
FROM
table1 t1
LEFT JOIN table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id
UNION
SELECT *
FROM
table2 t2
LEFT JOIN table1 t1
ON t1.id = t2.id
Cor. All that for the sake of being able to say this in e.g. SQLServer:
SELECT *
FROM
table1 t1
FULL OUTER JOIN table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id
I have 2 tables with the same structure (field names). Table1 and Table2.
I need to return all records from Table1 and only records from Table2 that do not match/join to a record in Table1.
Table2 has more records than Table1.
I am joining the 2 tables on 3 fields.
So basically I want all records from table1 returned and only records that don't have a match (joining on the 3 fields) to table1 from table2 returned.
Put another way, Table1 records take precedence over table2 records in my final result output when the records exist in both tables (same value for the 3 fields)
I started writing something like the below but I don't think it will work. Should I use a left outer join instead?
Select * from table1 t1
left join table2 t2 on t1.id = t2.id and t1.date = t2.date and t1.custid= t2.custid
where t2.id is null or t2.date is null or t2.custid is null
So, you need every row from table1 plus the rows from table2 that don't match with table1?:
SELECT *
FROM table1
UNION ALL
SELECT *
FROM table2 t2
WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM table1
WHERE id = t2.id
AND date = t2.date
AND custid = t2.custid);
Select * from table1 t1
Union
Select * from table2 t2
Where Not exists
(Select * from table1
Where id = t1.id
and date = t1.date
and custid= t1.custid)
there are two tables ...know i need
1st condition:
all the records in table
2 nd condition:
In table2 i need only records which have data
...i want one query for the aove two conditions...
SELECT
*
FROM Table1 t1
INNER JOIN Table2 t2 on t1.PK = t2.FK
This will return all rows in table1 that have at least one corresponding row in table2
But if you want all rows from t1 no matter what then this may be what you want
SELECT
*
FROM Table1 t1
LEFT JOIN Table2 t2 on t1.PK = t2.FK
Finally, As I dont know the structure in place perhaps table1 and table2 have similar structures. If this is true perhaps you may want a union of the two
SELECT
*
FROM Table1 t1
UNION ALL
SELECT
*
FROM Table2 t2
I have a problem joining two tables:
table1
id name
1 aaa
2 bbb
3 ccc
table2
id table1_id name
1 1 x1
2 1 x2
3 2 s1
table1 is the main table, table2 contains attributes.
I need to join and search both tables, but display distinct results from first table.
When using JOIN I get multiple results from table2.
The scenario is I need to search main table TABLE1 and ALL ATTRIBUTES in TABLE2 and return if found
select distinct(name) from table1 inner join table2 on table1.id = table2.table1_id where table2.name = x2;
Should do the trick.
If you need entries which exists in both tables:
SELECT * from Table1 t1
WHERE YourConditionsHere
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 from Table2 t2
WHERE t1.Id = t2.Table1_id
AND YourConditionsHere)
if you need entries from Table1 for which does not exists enteries in Table2
SELECT * from Table1 t1
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT * from Table2
WHERE YourConditionsHere
) t2
ON (t1.Id = t2.Table1_id)
WHERE YourConditionsHereForTable1
another option
select * from table1 t1 where t1.id in (select table1_id from table2 t2 where t2.name = "x1");
it's probably best to check query plains (i.e. EXPLAIN) for all suggested queries and check the one that performs best for your exact scenario.
