I have been working on this problem for 3 months now and gave up once or twice. Yes, I am a novice. I created 3 tables with data. Table 1 has a letter and number. Table 2 has a name, letter and number. Table 3 has the end result. I want to compare the T1 and T2. If the name and number in T1 matches a name and number in table 2. I want the result to in T3 to include name, letter and number. This is what I have so far but it is not working.
SELECT * FROM T1 and SELECT * FROM T2
WHEN
TABLE T1(letter) && TABLE T2(letter)
AND
TABLE T1(number) && TABLE T2(letter)
INSERT INTO TABLE T3 (name,letter,number)
What you need is to do an inner join of the first and second tables based on the attributes name and letter.
SELECT T2.name, T2.letter, T2.number
FROM T1
INNER JOIN T2
ON T1.letter=T2.letter AND T1.number=T2.number;
For more details, you can refer http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join.asp
To expand upon Dinesh's answer,
You'll need an inner join for this. Inner joins gives you rows that match the columns in both tables you've specified.
You can then combine it into an insert statement to put it into your T3 table. So this is one complete SQL statement:
INSERT INTO T3
SELECT T2.name, T2.letter, T2.number
FROM T2
INNER JOIN T1
ON T2.letter = T1.letter
AND T2.number = T1.number;
As a side note, there's also left joins and right joins (and heaps more). Think of Left, Inner, Right joins as two circles in a venn diagram.

I have two tables joined up together
I need to see if Product Code from table 1 (On the left) matches with the on on the right, based on their barcodes.. I have managed to inner join the barcodes and show only barcodes that match up. Just the prdouct code is the problem now...
Is this what you want?
select t1.*
from table1 t1
where not exists (select 1
from table2 t2
where t2.code = t1.product_code and t2.barcode = t1.barcode
);
This selects rows from table1 with no matches in table2.
I have two tables -> tb1 and tb2.
I am performing left join operation on these tables using ID column and also i have one more condition such as one column is not equal to other column .
Below is sample code
select * from tb1 LEFT JOIN tb2 ON tb1.id=tb2.id AND tb1.pid!=tb2.pid;
I am able to get results from above query.
But i need to know is there any alternate ways to get same result using sql.?
The actually SQL standard uses <> instead of !=.
select * from tb1 LEFT JOIN tb2 ON tb1.id=tb2.id AND tb1.pid<>tb2.pid;
It seems to you not equal not working because of your join and join condition.
if we create two tables and create like your query
create table t1(id int,pid int);
create table t2 (id int,pid int );
insert into t1 values(1,2),(2,3),(3,4);
insert into t2 values(1,2),(2,3),(3,4);
select t1.* from t1 left join
t2 on t1.id=t2.id and
t1.pid!=t2.pid
order by t1.id
id pid
1 2
2 3
3 4
It returns all the values of 1st table, because LEFT JOIN returns all records from the left table (table1), and the matched records from the right table (table2). The result is NULL from the right side, if there is no match.
But if you put inner join in the same it will not return any row. so i think problem is not in the "not equal operator"
I have two tables with 3.5 million rows of data. I am creating a left join between the two to create a new view.
Code 1:
SELECT t1.c1,t1.c2,t2.c3,t2.c4
from table1 as t1
left join table2 as t2
on t1.Location=t2.Location and t1.OrderNumber=t2.OrderNumber and t1.Customer=t2.Customer
Code 2:
SELECT t1.c1,t1.c2,t2.c3,t2.c4
from table1 as t1
left join table2 as t2
on t1.OrderNumber=t2.OrderNumber
Both snippets of code give the same desired result as the Order number field in table 2 has only unique values.
Is it better to give more fields to JOIN compared to only one?
SELECT t1.c1,t1.c2,t2.c3,t2.c4
from table1 as t1
left join table2 as t2
on t1.Location = t2.Location
and t1.OrderNumber = t2.OrderNumber
and t1.Customer = t2.Customer
If OrderNumber is the PK of either table then adding additional fields will not change the results and it will not improve performance unless an index as not present on the other side.
If Order number field in table 2 has only unique values it would not change the query. If it is a PK or has a unique constraint/index then addition fields would not help unless what Table2.OrderNumber was joined to was not indexed.
I am trying to write an SQL query that will return Table1, which has 10 columns. This table consists of a primary key id, 4 foreign key Id columns, and 5 other columns that I want to return but not change. The goal is to do a join to replace the foreign key Ids with their descriptions that are held in other tables.
Here is one attempt with the first FK Id:
Select * from Table1 t1
left join Table2 t2
on t1.BranchId = t2.BranchId;
This left join returns the description from table2, but does not replace it.
Here is another with the first FK Id:
Select t2.BranchName from Table1 t1
left join Table2 t2
on t1.BranchId = t2.BranchId;
This returns the name I want, but does not return table1 fully.
For the sake of an example you could pretend that OtherName3, OtherName4, OtherName5 are in tables Table3, Table4, Table5, respectively.
This may seem trivial for experienced SQL devs, but I am having a hard time figuring out the syntax.
Thanks!
I'm not sure what you mean by replace it.
I think you just need to list out all the columns you want:
Select t1.col1, t1.col2, t1.col3, . . .,
t2.name
from Table1 t1 left join
Table2 t2
on t1.BranchId = t2.BranchId;
I don't know what you mean by 'replace' but you just need to qualify what columns from which table you want. That goes for all tables you are joined to, especially if they have the same column name in multiple tables. I put junk columns in since I don't know your tables but you should get the general idea.
Select t2.BranchName, t1.BranchId, t1.Name, t1.Amount, t2.BranchLocation from Table1 t1
left join Table2 t2
on t1.BranchId = t2.BranchId;
I think this is what you are looking for:
select t1.*, t2.BranchName from Table1 t1
left join Table2 t2
on t1.BranchId = t2.BranchId;
Return Table1 fully (all columns) and only the description (BranchName) from Table2.

I am a little confused as to how to approach this SQL query.
I have two tables (equal number of records), and I would like to return a column with which is the division between the two.
In other words, here is my not-working-correctly query:
SELECT( (SELECT v FROM Table1) / (SELECT DotProduct FROM Table2) );
How would I do this? All I want it a column where each row equals the same row in Table1 divided by the same row in Table2. The resulting table should have the same number of rows, but I am getting something with a lot more rows than the original two tables.
I am at a complete loss. Any advice?
It sounds like you have some kind of key between the two tables. You need an Inner Join:
select t1.v / t2.DotProduct
from Table1 as t1
inner join Table2 as t2
on t1.ForeignKey = t2.PrimaryKey
Should work. Just make sure you watch out for division by zero errors.
You didn't specify the full table structure so I will assume a common ID column to link rows in the tables.
SELECT table1.v/table2.DotProduct
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2
ON (Table1.ID=Table2.ID)
You need to do a JOIN on the tables and divide the columns you want.
SELECT (Table1.v / Table2.DotProduct) FROM Table1 JOIN Table2 ON something
You need to substitue something to tell SQL how to match up the rows:
Something like: Table1.id = Table2.id
In case your fileds are both integers you need to do this to avoid integer math:
select t1.v / (t2.DotProduct*1.00)
from Table1 as t1
inner join Table2 as t2
on t1.ForeignKey = t2.PrimaryKey
If you have multiple values in table2 relating to values in table1 you need to specify which to use -here I chose the largest one.
select t1.v / (max(t2.DotProduct)*1.00)
from Table1 as t1
inner join Table2 as t2
on t1.ForeignKey = t2.PrimaryKey
Group By t1.v
