So I want to join three (or more) tables to make my life easier in Access.
however, when I add the code:
SELECT * FROM tbl_Inventory i
LEFT JOIN tbl_FlameConditions1 fc1
ON i.ID = fc1.SampleID
LEFT JOIN tbl_SolventComponents1 sc1
ON i.ID = sc1.SampleID;
to my query in Access, it gives me an error message:
"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'i.ID = fc1.SampleID
LEFT JOIN tbl_SolventComponents1 sc1
ON i.ID = sc1.SampleI' ".
And I forgot about the D and ; in the statement intentionally, since this is what Access gives me...
Does anyone know how to fix this? I already tried various different combinations. Also, if I only try to join 2 tables (either one), it works fine with the code I got.
You would need to add parenthesis in Access:
SELECT * FROM (tbl_Inventory i
LEFT JOIN tbl_FlameConditions1 fc1
ON i.ID = fc1.SampleID)
LEFT JOIN tbl_SolventComponents1 sc1
ON i.ID = sc1.SampleID;

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 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 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.
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
I'm in the process of moving some Mysql queries over to Postgresql and I ran across this one that doesn't work.
select (tons of stuff)
from trip_publication
left join trip_collection AS "tc" on
tc.id = tp.collection_id
left join
trip_author ta1, (dies here)
trip_person tp1,
trip_institution tai1,
trip_location tail1,
trip_rank tr1
ON
tp.id = ta1.publication_id
AND tp1.id = ta1.person_id
AND ta1.order = 1
AND tai1.id = ta1.institution_id
AND tail1.id = tai1.location_id
AND ta1.rank_id = tr1.id
The query seems to be dying on the "trip_author ta1" line, where I marked it above. The actual error message is:
syntax error at or near ","
LINE 77: (trip_author ta1, trip_person tp1, ...
I went through the docs, and it seems to be correct. What exactly am I doing wrong here? Any feedback would be much appreciated.
I don't know postgres, but in regular SQL you would need to a series of LEFT JOIN statements rather than your comma syntax. You seemed to have started this then stopped after the first two.
Something like:
SELECT * FROM
table1
LEFT JOIN table2 ON match1
LEFT JOIN table3 ON match2
WHERE otherFilters
The alternative is the older SQL syntax of:
SELECT cols
FROM table1, table2, table3
WHERE match AND match2 AND otherFilters
There's a couple of other smaller errors in your SQL, like the fact you forgot your tp alias on your first table, and have tried including a where clause (ta1.order = 1) as a joining constraint.
I think this is what you are after:
select (tons of stuff)
from trip_publication tp
left join trip_collection AS "tc" on tc.id = tp.collection_id
left join trip_author ta1 on ta1.publication_id = tp.id
left join trip_person tp1 on tp1.id = ta1.person_id
left join trip_institution tai1 on tai1.id = ta1.institution_id
left join trip_location tail1 on tail1.id = tai1.location_id
left join trip_rank tr1 on tr1.id = ta1.rank_id
where ta1.order = 1
Your left joins are one per table you are joining
left join trip_author ta1 on ....
left join trip_person tp1 on ....
left join trip_institution on ...
...and so on
