I have two tables Say A and B. A is master table and B is child table, from which I need values as below.
select A.Id, A.Name, B.Path from A,B where A.Id=B.Id
Now, I want to add column of 3rd table which is child of table 'B', say C i.e. C.File.
The value of C.File will be null if C.SubId=B.SubId is false else will return value when condition becomes true.
This is the exact definition of a left join:
SELECT a.id, b.name, b.path, c.file
FROM a
JOIN b ON a.id = b.id
LEFT JOIN c ON b.subid = c.subid
You need to LEFT JOIN your third table from what I can gather.
SELECT A.Id, A.Name, B.Path, C.file
FROM tableA a
INNER JOIN tableB b ON a.id = b.id
LEFT JOIN tableC c ON b.subid = c.subid
Simply Join all the three tables using INNER JOIN
select A.Id, A.Name, B.Path ,C.File
FROM A
INNER JOIN B
ON A.Id=B.Id
INNER JOIN C
ON C.SubId=B.SubId

I'm trying to join a table on a column
Select * From tableA a
LEFT JOIN tableB b
ON a.key = b.foreignkey
...
If that row cannot be found I want to join it to another column in table B. Is there an efficient way to do this.
Thanks
You can use COALESCE to join on the first non-NULL column.
Select * From tableA a
LEFT JOIN tableB b
ON a.key = COALESCE(b.foreignkey, b.another_column, b.another_column2)
It will try to join with b.foreignkey first. if that is NULL then b.foreignkey and so on.
Please find the example here.
Add another LEFT JOIN:
Select *
From tableA a left join
tableB b
on a.key = b.foreignkey left join
tableC c
on a.key = c.foreignkey and b.foreignkey is null;
I need make a decision which table should be use in join statement depend on values in another table
I tried using CASE and COALESCE but can't achieve any success.
TableA has A and B and C and many other columns
TableB has ID and NAME columns
TableC has ID and NAME columns
My select statement is;
Select A.D, A.E, A.F From TableA A
If A.E = 1 then the following join should be used
left outer join TableB B ON A.B = B.ID
and B.NAME should be returned in the select statement
If A.E = 2 then the following join should be used
left outer join TableC C ON A.B = C.ID
and C.NAME should be returned in the select statement
Just add your conditions to the joins, and then use a case statement to pull the correct field to your result set e.g.
select A.D, A.E, A.F
, case when B.[Name] is not null then B.[Name] else C.[Name] end [Name]
from TableA A
left outer join TableB B ON A.B = B.ID and A.E = 1
left outer join TableC C ON A.B = C.ID and A.E = 2
Join tablea with the union of tableb with an extra column with value 1 and tablec with an extra column with value 2 and apply the conditions in the ON clause:
select
a.D, a.E, a.F, u.NAME
from tablea a
left join (
select *, 1 col from tableb
union all
select *, 2 col from tablec
) u on a.B = u.id and a.E = u.col
Given two tables, is there a name for the result of subtracting inner join from full outer join, both on the same condition? Is it a type of "join"? Thanks.
It is not a type of join in SQL. You can write it as:
select . . .
from a full join
b
on a.id = b.id
where a.id is null or b.id is null;
If you are looking for ids that are in only one table, it can be more efficient to do:
select a.id
from a
where not exists (select 1 from b where b.id = a.id)
union all
select b.id
from b
where not exists (select 1 from a where a.id = b.id);
I want something like the following.
SELECT fewCols, aColFromNewTbl FROM TABLE_A AS A
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE_B AS B ON A.ID = B.ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE_C AS C ON A.ID = C.ID
INNER JOIN A_NEW_TABLE AS NEWTBL ON NEWTBL.ID = B.ID;
Somehow I'm not able to achieve this functionality. Actually above query is suppose to join A with NEWTBL, but I'm joining it with B, which is already joined with A. For my results I want them to come exclusively from the join of NEWTBL and B. I don't know how I can get desired results?
Probably you need this:
SELECT fewCols, aColFromNewTbl
FROM TABLE_A AS A
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE_B AS B
INNER JOIN A_NEW_TABLE AS NEWTBL
ON NEWTBL.ID = B.ID
ON A.ID = B.ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE_C AS C
ON A.ID = C.ID;
I would like to do something like this but can't get it to work:
SELECT A.*,B.*,C.* FROM tableA A LEFT JOIN
B ON A.ID = B.ID
C ON A.ID = C.ID
I.e. I need to use a field from the first table for all joins as tableB and tableC don't
has any fields to link them together.
Can this be done?
you missed a join !
SELECT A.*,B.*,C.* FROM tableA A
LEFT JOIN
B ON A.ID = B.ID
left join
C ON A.ID = C.ID
Try this one -
SELECT *
FROM dbo.tableA A
LEFT JOIN dbo.B ON A.ID = B.ID
LEFT JOIN dbo.C ON A.ID = C.ID
