I have the following SQL string which tries to combine an INNER JOIN with a LEFT JOIN in the FROM section.
As you can see I use table VIP_APP_VIP_SCENARIO_DETAIL_LE to perform the query. When I use it against this table, Access give me an "Invalid Operation" error.
Interestingly, when I use the EXACT same query using the VIP_APP_VIP_SCENARIO_DETAIL_BUDGET or VIP_APP_VIP_SCENARIO_DETAIL_ACTUALS table, it performs flawlessly.
So why would it work on two tables but not the other? All fields are in all tables and the data types are correct.
As a side note: on the query with the error, if I change the LEFT JOIN to an INNER JOIN, it runs with no problem! I really need a LEFT JOIN though.
SELECT
D.MATERIAL_NUMBER,
D.MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION,
D.PRODUCTION_LOT_SIZE,
D.STANDARDS_NAME,
D.WORK_CENTER,
S.OP_SHORT_TEXT,
S.OPERATION_CODE,
D.LINE_SPEED_UPM,
D.PERCENT_STD,
D.EQUIPMENT_SU,
D.EQUIPMENT_CU,
D.OPERATOR_NUM,
V.COSTING_LOT_SIZE,
V.VOL_TOTAL_ADJ
FROM
([STDS_SCENARIO: TEST] AS D INNER JOIN MASTER_SUMMARY AS S ON
D.MATERIAL_NUMBER = S.MATERIAL_NUMBER AND D.WORK_CENTER = S.WORK_CENTER)
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT ITEM_CODE, COSTING_LOT_SIZE, VOL_TOTAL_ADJ
FROM
VIP_APP_VIP_SCENARIO_DETAIL_LE
WHERE SCENARIO_ID = 16968) AS V ON D.MATERIAL_NUMBER = V.ITEM_CODE
ORDER BY D.MATERIAL_NUMBER, D.STANDARDS_NAME, S.OPERATION_CODE;
tried to mock this up in SQL server with some tables of my own, but the structure seemed to work, this follows the pattern referenced above. (hopefully no syntax errors left here)
SELECT * FROM (
select
D.MATERIAL_NUMBER,
D.MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION,

LEFT JOIN

WHERE SCENARIO_ID = 16968) AS V ON J.MATERIAL_NUMBER = V.ITEM_CODE
ORDER BY J.MATERIAL_NUMBER, J.STANDARDS_NAME, J.OPERATION_CODE;
Had help from a friend and we discovered that it was a casting problem between a linked Oracle table and the Access table. To fix the problem we casted both sides of the linked fields to a string:
CSTR(D.[MATERIAL_NUMBER]) = CSTR(V.[ITEM_CODE])

I'm trying to perform the query below on SQL Server:

But for some reason that i cannot see for the life of me, the destination column name in the bottom 3 join statements is reporting "The multi part identifier could not be bound".
Could anyone assist please?
Many Thanks,
You were pretty close, for readability, you dont need the extensive [dbo].[table] all over. You can define it once in the from clause with an alias, then use that alias the rest of the way through. Also, make the alias make sense to the context of the table as you will see in this below. LeasingCompany lc, SalesType st, etc.
Also, I try to have indented so I always know the first table of the join relationship and the JOIN indented on where it is being joined to. Then I keep the orientation of the from/to table aliases the same context.
Since the machine table is used once and joined to 4 different lookup tables, you can reuse the same "m" alias to each underlying. Think of a tree and branches. The root tree is your "Machine", and all the branches are the lookups.

m.MachineID,
m.CompanyID,
c.AccountRef,

LEFT JOIN ContractType ct
ON m.ContractTypeID = ct.ContractTypeID ;
I'm trying to join 4 tables that have a somewhat complex relationship. Because of where this will be used, it needs to be contained in a single query, but I'm having trouble since the primary query and the IN clause query both join 2 tables together and the lookup is on two columns.
The goal is to input a SalesNum and SalesType and have it return the Price
Tables and relationships:
sdShipping
SalesNum[1]
SalesType[2]
Weight[3]
sdSales
SalesNum[1]
SalesType[2]
Zip[4]
spZones
Zip[4]
Zone[5]
spPrices
Zone[5]
Price
Weight[3]
Here's my latest attempt in T-SQL:
SELECT
spp.Price
FROM
spZones AS spz
LEFT OUTER JOIN
spPrices AS spp ON spz.Zone = spp.Zone
WHERE
(spp.Weight, spz.Zip) IN (SELECT ship.Weight, sales.Zip
FROM sdShipping AS ship
LEFT OUTER JOIN sdSales AS sales ON sales.SalesNum = ship.SalesNum
AND sales.SalesType = ship.SalesType
WHERE sales.SalesNum = (?)
AND ship.SalesType = (?));
SQL Server Management Studio says I have an error in my syntax near ',' (appropriately useless error message). Does anybody have any idea whether this is even allowed in Microsoft's version of SQL? Is there perhaps another way to accomplish it? I've seen the multi-key IN questions answered on here, but never in the case where both sides require a JOIN.
Many databases do support IN on tuples. SQL Server is not one of them.
Use EXISTS instead:
SELECT spp.Price
FROM spZones spz LEFT OUTER JOIN
spPrices spp
ON spz.Zone = spp.Zone
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM sdShipping ship LEFT JOIN
sdSales sales
ON sales.SalesNum = ship.SalesNum AND
sales.SalesType = ship.SalesType
WHERE spp.Weight = ship.Weight AND spz.Zip = sales.Zip AND
sales.SalesNum = (?) AND
ship.SalesType = (?)
);
I am doing a query build in hive, the query is given below.

When I am executing the above table in hive I am getting the below error
"Both left and right aliases encountered in JOIN 'SASP'"
On further investigation I founded that we cannot use date between filter in the join on condition. In every post everyone is asking to insert that filter in where condition.
But in our case if we are moving that date between filter to where condition then we are not getting any data since left outer join is not satisfying.
I am getting this issue while executing in HIVE, it is working fine in Teradata and oracle
Please help.
Only equality(=) works in join condition in Hive.Move <= to where clause.
I have the similar issue earlier.Please check below thread.
Hive Select MAX() in Join Condition
Hope this helps.
There might be some common column between CSS407 and SERV_ACCT_ISVC_LINK which might be creating this error.
I'm trying to retrieve a list of components via my computer_system, BUT if a computer system's graphics card is set to null (I.e. It has an onboard), the row isn't returned by my select statement.
I've been trying to use COALESCE without results. I've also tried with and OR in my WHERE clause, which then just returns my computer system with all different kinds of graphic cards.
Relevant code:
SELECT
computer_system.cs_id,
computer_system.cs_name,
motherboard.name,
motherboard.price,
cpu.name,
cpu.price,
gfx.name,
gfx.price
FROM
public.computer_case ,
public.computer_system,
public.cpu,
public.gfx,
public.motherboard,
public.ram
WHERE
computer_system.cs_ram = ram.ram_id AND
computer_system.cs_cpu = cpu.cpu_id AND
computer_system.cs_mb = motherboard.mb_id AND
computer_system.cs_case = computer_case.case_id AND
computer_system.cs_gfx = gfx.gfx_id; <-- ( OR computer_system.cs_gfx IS NULL)
Returns:
1;"Computer1";"Fractal Design"; 721.00; "MSI Z87"; 982.00; "Core i7 I7-4770K "; 2147.00; "Crucial Gamer"; 1253.00; "ASUS GTX780";3328.00
Should I use Joins? Is there no easy way to say return the requested row, even if there's a bloody NULL value. Been struggling with this for at least 2 hours.
Tables will be posted if needed.
EDIT: It should return a second row:
2;"Computer2";"Fractal Design"; 721.00; "MSI Z87"; 982.00; "Core i7 I7-4770K "; 2147.00; "Crucial Gamer"; 1253.00; "null/nothing";null/nothing
You want a LEFT OUTER JOIN.
First, clean up your code so you use ANSI joins so it's readable:
SELECT
computer_system.cs_id,
computer_system.cs_name,
motherboard.name,
motherboard.price,
cpu.name,
cpu.price,
gfx.name,
gfx.price
FROM
public.computer_system
INNER JOIN public.computer_case ON computer_system.cs_case = computer_case.case_id
INNER JOIN public.cpu ON computer_system.cs_cpu = cpu.cpu_id
INNER JOIN public.gfx ON computer_system.cs_gfx = gfx.gfx_id
INNER JOIN public.motherboard ON computer_system.cs_mb = motherboard.mb_id
INNER JOIN public.ram ON computer_system.cs_ram = ram.ram_id;
Then change the INNER JOIN on public.gfx to a LEFT OUTER JOIN:
LEFT OUTER JOIN public.gfx ON computer_system.cs_gfx = gfx.gfx_id
See PostgreSQL tutorial - joins.
I very strongly recommend reading an introductory tutorial to SQL - at least the PostgreSQL tutorial, preferably some more material as well.
It looks like it's just a bracket placement issue. Pull the null check and the graphics card id comparison into a clause by itself.
...
computer_system.cs_case = computer_case.case_id AND
(computer_system.cs_gfx IS NULL OR computer_system.cs_gfx = gfx.gfx_id)
Additionally, you ask if you should use joins. You are in fact using joins, by virtue of having multiple tables in your FROM clause and specifying the join criteria in the WHERE clause. Changing this to use the JOIN ON syntax might be a little easier to read:
FROM sometable A
JOIN someothertable B
ON A.somefield = B.somefield
JOIN somethirdtable C
ON A.somefield = C.somefield
etc
Edit:
You also likely want to make the join where you expect the null value to be a left outer join:
SELECT * FROM
first_table a
LEFT OUTER JOIN second_table b
ON a.someValue = b.someValue
If there is no match in the join, the row from the left side will still be returned.
I'm trying to come up with an automated solution for something I do manually now and I only have minimal, bare-bones SQL skill. I usually modify simple queries others have built or will build basic select queries. I have done some reading but don't know how to make it do what I need in this case. I need to come up with something others can use while I am out for a month (and which will save me time when I return).
What I need is to return the fields below where tblThree.EndDate is later than tblFive.ServiceEnd. I have to do a couple of other compares on the dates, but if I get a working query of the first one I can make it work with the others. We use MS SQL Server 2008.
I tried creating sub-queries with aliases and failed miserably at making it work.
These are the table and fields I am working with:
tblOne.ServiceID
tblOne.ServiceYear
tblOne.Status
tblTwo.AccountNbr
tblTwo.AcctName
tblThree.BeginDate (smalldatetime, null)
tblThree.EndDate (smalldatetime, null)
tblFour.ClientID
tblFour.ServiceName
tblFive.ContractID
tblFive.ServiceBegin (smalldatetime, null)
tblFive.ServiceEnd (smalldatetime, null)
This is how the tables are related:
tblOne.ServiceID = tblThree.ServiceID
tblOne.ContractID = tblFive.ContractID
tblOne.ClientID = tblFour.ClientID
tblTwo.AccountNbr = tblFour.Account
I used MS Access 2003 to generate the Join SQL:
SELECT tblOne.ServiceID, tblTwo.AccountNbr,
tblTwo.AcctName, tblFour.ServiceName, tblOne.Status,
tblThree.BeginDate, tblThree.EndDate,
tblOne.ServiceYear, tblFive.ServiceBegin,
tblFive.ServiceEnd
FROM ((tblTwo INNER JOIN tblFour
ON tblTwo.AccountNbr=tblFour.AccountNbr) INNER JOIN (tblThree INNER JOIN tblOne
ON tblThree.ServiceID=tblOne.ServiceID)
ON tblFour.ClientID=tblOne.ClientID) INNER JOIN tblFive
ON tblOne.ContractID=tblFive.ContractID;
Thanks for any help.
Just add a WHERE clause to get started:
SELECT tblOne.ServiceID, tblTwo.AccountNbr,
tblTwo.AcctName, tblFour.ServiceName, tblOne.Status,
tblThree.BeginDate, tblThree.EndDate,
tblOne.ServiceYear, tblFive.ServiceBegin,
tblFive.ServiceEnd
FROM ((tblTwo INNER JOIN tblFour
ON tblTwo.AccountNbr=tblFour.AccountNbr) INNER JOIN (tblThree INNER JOIN tblOne
ON tblThree.ServiceID=tblOne.ServiceID)
ON tblFour.ClientID=tblOne.ClientID) INNER JOIN tblFive
ON tblOne.ContractID=tblFive.ContractID
WHERE tblThree.EndDate > tblFive.ServiceEnd;
SELECT
tblOne.ServiceID,
tblOne.ServiceYear,
tblOne.Status,
tblTwo.AccountNbr,
tblTwo.AcctName,
tblThree.BeginDate,
tblThree.EndDate,
tblFour.ClientID,
tblFour.ServiceName,
tblFive.ContractID,
tblFive.ServiceBegin,
tblFive.ServiceEnd
FROM tblOne
INNER JOIN tblThree
ON tblOne.ServiceID = tblThree.ServiceID
INNER JOIN tblFive
ON tblOne.ContractID = tblFive.ContractID
INNER JOIN tblFour
ON tblOne.ClientID = tblFour.ClientID
INNER JOIN tblTwo
ON tblTwo.AccountNbr = tblFour.Account
WHERE tblThree.EndDate > tblFive.ServiceEnd
