SQL Inner Join Issue/Alternative Join - sql

Question

I'm trying to correct this query where I need to join the table capcase first and then join table called capstatus second.There are different tables from capcase status and capcaseservicesprovidedstatus where foreign keys can be seen and I need to join the correct tables. I'm wondering if maybe I need to use a join other than an 'inner join' to accomplish this task or confirm what I'm doing wrong with my query as the last two lines are the ones I believe are issue. Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.
SELECT family.Id as Family_ID, person.firstName + ' ' + person.lastName as Name, capcaseServicesProvided.idperson as Person_ID,capcaseservicesProvided.idCase as Case_ID, capcaseServicesProvided.Id as Service_ID,capStatus.Status as Case_Status, capServices.Service, capStatusService.ServiceStatus as Service_Status,
capcaseServicesProvided.Qty, capServicesUnit.Unit, capcaseServicesProvided.Date as Service_Date, capCase.DateApplied as Case_Date
FROM capcaseServicesProvided
INNER JOIN person on capcaseServicesProvided.idperson = person.Id
INNER JOIN capServices on capcaseServicesProvided.idService = capServices.Id
INNER JOIN capServicesUnit on capcaseServicesProvided.Unit = capServicesUnit.Id
INNER JOIN capStatusService on capcaseServicesProvided.Status = capStatusService.Id
INNER JOIN family on person.idFamily = family.Id
INNER JOIN capStatus on capcaseServicesProvided.Status= capStatus.Id
INNER JOIN capCase on capCaseServicesProvided.Date = capCase.DateApplied;

Answer 1

I would like to suggest an approach rather than attempt a specific solution. Note we know absolutely nothing about your tables or their design so asking us to understand either requires quite a bit of information, so ultimately it is better for you to learn about JOINS and/or how to solve such dilemmas yourself.
I suggest you reduce the size of the initial query to the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM which looks (I think) like this:
SELECT
family.Id AS Family_ID
, person.firstName + ' ' + person.lastName AS Name
, capcaseServicesProvided.idperson AS Person_ID
, capcaseservicesProvided.idCase AS Case_ID
, capcaseServicesProvided.Id AS Service_ID
FROM capcaseServicesProvided
INNER JOIN person ON capcaseServicesProvided.idperson = person.Id
INNER JOIN family ON person.idFamily = family.Id
;
Now assuming the minimum query is correct, try joining ONE EXTRA TABLE and including the columns needed from it into the select clause. Start by adding the extra table using an INNER JOIN. If you notice that some rows you want disappear change that to a LEFT JOIN
e.g.
SELECT
family.Id AS Family_ID
, person.firstName + ' ' + person.lastName AS Name
, capcaseServicesProvided.idperson AS Person_ID
, capcaseservicesProvided.idCase AS Case_ID
, capcaseServicesProvided.Id AS Service_ID
, capServices.Service
FROM capcaseServicesProvided
INNER JOIN person ON capcaseServicesProvided.idperson = person.Id
INNER JOIN family ON person.idFamily = family.Id
INNER JOIN capServices ON capcaseServicesProvided.idService = capServices.Id
-- or if needed --LEFT JOIN capServices ON capcaseServicesProvided.idService = capServices.Id
;
Keep repeating this cycle until you have joined all the needed tables.
I suspect you just need one or more LEFT JOINS but without sample data from each table and DDL for each table it is really hard to tell you which tables need these.
