I am new to peoplesoft system, there is one query to retrieve supervisor name and supervisor I'd from ps_names table for all the employees of ps_job table.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this?
And can anyone please tell me the result variation using different join condition.
In PS Query you create a query with the records job and names. PS Query will suggest to join on the common emplid fields, but since you want the name of the supervisor, refuse this suggestion. Add the join manually by adding a criterium that states that the supervisor id of job should be equal to the emplid field of names.
you have two join options:
standard: only the rows that have a match are returned, job rows with an empty supervisor id, or rows where the supervisor id has no corresponding entry in the names table are excluded
left outer join: all rows of job are shown including those with no corresponding match in names, the selected fields of the names table will be empty.

To create a many-to-many relationship, I have three tables:
tblEmployee, contains employees
tlkpPermission, contains 11 different possible permission groups an employee can be part of
tblEmployeeXPermission, combines the EmployeeID with one or more PermissionID
What I’m trying to create is a query that shows what permission groups an employee is NOT part of.
So, if EmployeeID 12345 is associated with PermissionID 1,2,3,4,5, but NOT 6,7,8,9,10,11 (in the EmployeeXPermission table) then I want the query to show EmployeeID 12345 is not part of PermissionID 6,7,8,9,10,11.
Of all the JOINs and query options, I can only get a query to show which PermissionIDs an employee is associated with, but not the PermissionIDs the employee is not associated with.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You need to start with all combinations of employees and permissions, and this type of join is CROSS JOIN, but MsAccess SQL does not have it in the new SQL syntax. You can use the old syntax of listing your tables in the FROM clause, comma separated, and provide the join condition, if any, in the WHERE clause:
SELECT
EmployeeId,
PermissionID
FROM
tblEmployee as E,
tlkpPermission as P
where not exists (
select 1
from tblEmployeeXPermission X
where X.EmployeeId=E.EmployeeId
and X.PermissionId=P.PermissionId
)
Here the part up to the WHERE clause would give you all employee - permission combinations, and the WHERE clause removes those occuring in the tblEmployeeXPermission, leaving you with the ones you want.
I have two different tables with records I need to join together in a way I can't quite figure out how to make work. My data looks like this.
Table A
Columns: Employee_ID, Employee_Department, Employee_Team, Manager_ID, Is_a_Manager ... many other columns
Sample Values:
12345 Department1 Team1 67890 Yes/No
.
.
.
One employee per row, several thousand rows comprising the entire company
Table B
Employee_ID, Manager_ID ... other columns
The exact same data set as Table A
Currently I'm combining those two tables (and three others) with a simple join on Employee_ID, which I'm then using as a data source in Tableau to visualize the data.
What I'd like to do with a SQL script is as follows:
Check to see whether an employee in Table A is a manager or not based on the Is_a_Manager column
If they are, find an employee in Table B who is one of their direct reports by matching the employee ID in Table A to the Manager ID in Table B.
Lookup that direct report's department and team in Table A by matching the Employee_ID in Table B to Employee_ID in Table A and displaying the Employee_Department and Employee_Team columns.
Add the direct report's department and team to two new columns in the original manager's Table A row
I'd like the final output in Table A to be something like
Employee_ID, Employee_Department, Employee_Team, Manager_ID, Is_a_Manager? ... Direct_Report_Department, Direct_Report_Team
Also, an important point is that some managers will have employees who are on different teams, so values in the Direct_Report_Department and Direct_Report_Team are not distinct. I only actually need any one employee's Department and Team to display, it doesn't matter which employee's it is.
Finally, I am able to do step 1 fairly easily in Tableau, so if the SQL script could do steps 2-4 and simply return a null value if the employee was not a manager, that would work for me as well.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
This should work based on the requirement provided. You don’t have to do any of the steps in Tableau and can simply export the output from the SQL as your data source
Select Tb1.Employee_ID, Tb1.Employee_Department, Tb1.Employee_Team, Tb1.Manager_ID, Tb1.Is_a_Manager, Tb3. Direct_Report_Department, Tb3. Direct_Report_Team
from Table_A Tb1
join (Select Manager_id, max(Employee_id) as emp_id from Table_B group by Manager_id) Tb2
on Tb1.Employee_id = Tb2.Manager_id
left join (Select Employee_ID, Employee_Department as Direct_Report_Department, Employee_Team as Direct_Report_Team from Table_A group by Employee_ID, Employee_Department, Employee_Team) Tb3
on Tb2.emp_id = Tb3.Employee_ID
where Tb1.Is_a_Manager = 'Yes';
I have two tables in a Database
and
I need to retrieve the number of staff per manager in the following format
I've been trying to adapt an answer to another question
SELECT bankNo AS "Bank Number",
COUNT (*) AS "Total Branches"
FROM BankBranch
GROUP BY bankNo
As
SELECT COUNT (*) AS StaffCount ,
Employee.Name AS Name
FROM Employee, Stafflink
GROUP BY Name
As I look at the Group BY I'm thinking I should be grouping by The ManID in the Stafflink Table.
My output with this query looks like this
So it is counting correctly but as you can see it's far off the output I need to get.
Any advice would be appreciated.
You need to join the Employee and Stafflink tables. It appears that your FROM clause should look like this:
FROM Employee INNER JOIN StaffLink ON Employee.ID = StaffLink.ManID
You have to join the Eployee table twice to get the summary of employees under manager
select count(*) as StaffCount,Manager.Name
from Employee join Stafflink on employee.Id = StaffLink.EmpId
join Employee as Manager on StaffLink.ManId = Manager.Id
Group by Manager.Name
The answers that advise you on how to join are correct, assuming that you want to learn how to use SQL in MS Access. But there is a way to accomplish the same thing using the ACCESS GUI for designing queries, and this involves a shorter learning curve than learning SQL.
The key to using the GUI when more than one table is involved is to realize that you have to define the relationships between tables in the relationship manager. Once you do that, designing the query you are after is a piece of cake, just point and click.
The tricky thing in your case is that there are two relationships between the two tables. One relationship links EmpId to ID and the other links ManId to ID.
If, however, you want to learn SQL, then this shortcut will be a digression.
If you don't specify a join between the tables, a so called Cartesian product will be built, i.e., each record from one table will be paired with every record from the other table. If you have 7 records in one table and 10 in the other you will get 70 pairs (i.e. rows) before grouping. This explains why you are getting a count of 7 per manager name.
Besides joining the tables, I would suggest you to group on the manager id instead of the manager name. The manager id is known to be unique per manager, but not the name. This then requires you to either group on the name in addition, because the name is in the select list or to apply an aggregate function on the name. Each additional grouping slows down the query; therefore I prefer the aggregate function.
SELECT
COUNT(*) AS StaffCount,
FIRST(Manager.Name) AS ManagerName
FROM
Stafflink
INNER JOIN Employee AS Manager
ON StaffLink.ManId = Manager.Id
GROUP BY
StaffLink.ManId
I don't know if it makes a performance difference, but I prefer to group on StaffLink.ManId than on Employee.Id, since StaffLink is the main table here and Employee is just used as lookup table in this query.
My table IncomingLetter has a foreign key to a table Department, which has an ID and a column Short_Name.
I'm using this query to count the incoming letters assigned to a department.
SELECT COUNT(DocumentNumber) AS TotalNumberIncomingLetters
FROM IncomingLetter
WHERE Assigned_To_Department=1;
Whereas this works I want to make a query based upon the short name and not based upon the ID.
SELECT COUNT(DocumentNumber) AS TotalNumberIncomingLetters
FROM IncomingLetter
WHERE Assigned_To_Department.Short_Name="My Department Name";
This does not work, whereas I found examples that are using this syntax. However, it is probably important to notice, that I m using this query in MS access.
You should use
SELECT COUNT(il.DocumentNumber) AS TotalNumberIncomingLetters
FROM IncomingLetter il
INNER JOIN Department d on d.ID = il.Assigned_To_Department
WHERE d.Short_Name="My Department Name";
The "My Department Name" text is actually stored in the Departments table, and only the number (1) is stored in the IncomingLetter table, in the field Assigned_To_Department.
Asking for Assigned_To_Department.Short_Name basically asks the number 1 to get it's Short_Name field, that does not make sense.
You need to tell the database engine two things in these scenarios:
which tables are connected - IncomingLetter and Departments in this case (the inner join part)
how they are connected - by setting their Assigned_To_Department and ID fields respecively (the on ... part
I am new to SQL server, thus looking for some quick help on writing stored procedure:
brief about what I am doing:
employee says he is expert (type) in different domains (industries) and willing to work in countries of choice (mycountries) and my sal (minsal)and my native country (orgcountry)
Employer says he need so and so expert in the his choice of domain (industries) in the countries where openings are there and with sal range.
employee table has lots of records with columns like this:
name, email, myindustries, mycountries, mytype,minsal
employer table has lots of records with columns like:
expertneed, inindustries, incountries, sal-from, sal-to
now when employee logs in, he/she should get all the records of matching employers
when employer logs in, he/she also get all the records of matching employees.
can some one help in writing sp for this? appreciate any help
If you're storing comma-separated ids then you'll need a function to split a string into multiple rows. This is how you would use it:
SELECT DISTINCT employee.name [employee], employer.name [employer]
FROM employee
OUTER APPLY dbo.split(employee.myindustries) myi (industry)
OUTER APPLY dbo.split(employee.mycountries) myc (country)
JOIN employer
OUTER APPLY dbo.split(employer.inindustries) ini (industry)
OUTER APPLY dbo.split(employer.incountries) inc (country)
WHERE employer.expertneed = employee.type
AND ini.inindustries = myi.industry
AND inc.incountries = myc.country
AND employee.minsal BETWEEN employer.[sal-from] AND employer.[sal-to]
