How to query two tables to compare data - sql

I'm having trouble coming up with a way to compare some data in SQL Server (2005). I have two tables and I need to make sure that the values from table 1 are matched in table two. Here's the table structure and some example data.
Table 1
GenreId
6
This is a temp table with a list of IDs that are passed in.
Table 2
Show| GenreId
Show1 | 2
Show1 | 6
Show2 | 6
This table can have many GenreIds for a show. The results that I am trying to figure out how to retrieve are that I only need shows that only have the GenreIds from table 1. So the results I expect in the end would be:
If table 1 has 6, I expect to ONLY get Show2. If table 1 has 2 and 6, then I get Show1 and Show2.
I know this is probably simple but I am really drawing a blank. Any help is very much appreciated.

This is the query you're looking for:
SELECT SHOW FROM t2
WHERE SHOW NOT IN (
SELECT SHOW FROM t2
WHERE genreId NOT IN (6, 2)
)
GROUP BY SHOW
HAVING count(DISTINCT genreId) = 2
Those queries are a bit tricky. Take into account that the number in the HAVING clause have to match the AMOUNT of items in the IN clause.
Now, provided that you have a table that contains those IDs, then you can solve it this way:
SELECT SHOW FROM t2
WHERE SHOW NOT IN (
SELECT SHOW FROM t2
WHERE genreId NOT IN (
SELECT genreId FROM t1
)
)
GROUP BY SHOW
HAVING count(DISTINCT genreId) = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1)
Fiddle here.

If table 1 has 6, I expect to ONLY get Show2. If table 1 has 2 and 6,
then I get Show1 and Show2.
Fiddle demo (Demo is on Sql Server 2012 but query should work on 2005):
select Max([show]) myShow
from T2 join T1
on T2.GenreId = T1.GenreId
Group by T2.GenreId;

Well, this should work but it may have horrible performance if Table2 is large...
SELECT * FROM Table2 t2
WHERE NOT EXISTS(
SELECT GenreID
FROM Table1
WHERE GenreID NOT IN (
SELECT GenreID
FROM Table2
WHERE Show = t2.Show))
AND NOT EXISTS(
SELECT GenreID
FROM Table2
WHERE GenreID NOT IN (
SELECT GenreID FROM Table1)
AND Show = t2.Show)

select Show from Table2
inner join Table1
on Table1.GenreId = Table2.GenreId

Use this query. It checks if the show is the only show for the selected genre.
SELECT DISTINCT Show FROM Table2
INNER JOIN Table1 ON Table1.GenreId = Table2.GenreId
AND (SELECT Count(DISTINCT GenreId) FROM Table2 T2 WHERE Table2.Show = T2.Show) = 1

My bad. I understand what you're asking now, I think.
This?
select Show from Table2
where genreid in (select genreid from Table1)
except
select Show from Table2
where genreid not in (select Genreid from Table1)

sql Query for multiple column condition based on single column condition

I'm trying to get all the duplicated rows based on a certain conditions in a table.
I'm unable to get it. Here is a look at the table.
Table:
MasterId
TaskId
PostType
1
t1
movies
1
t1
music
2
t2
movies
2
t2
movies
2
t2
movies
3
t3
news
4
t4
movies
MasterId has multiple TaskIds and tasksId's will have multiple 'PostType'.
I 'm trying to get masterId's that have PostType only 'movies' and not 'news' or 'music'.
You can use conditional aggregation logic next to HAVING clause after GROUPing BY MasterId column such as
SELECT MasterId
FROM t
GROUP BY MasterId
HAVING SUM(CASE WHEN PostType = 'movies' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) = COUNT(*)
Demo
seems like an normal selection clausule that you're looking for.
try this
select
t1.MasterId,
t1.TaskId
from dbo.Table t1
where t1.PostType = 'movies'
and t1.MasterId not in (
select t2.MasterId
from dbo.Table t2
where t2.MasterId = t1.MasterId
and t2.PostType <> 'movies'
)

Joining and grouping to equate on two tables

I've tried to minify this problem as much as possible. I've got two tables which share some Id's (among other columns)
id id
---- ----
1 1
1 1
2 1
2
2
Firstly, I can get each table to resolve to a simple count of how many of each Id there is:
select id, count(*) from tbl1 group by id
select id, count(*) from tbl2 group by id
id | tbl1-count id | tbl2-count
--------------- ---------------
1 2 1 3
2 1 2 2
but then I'm at a loss, I'm trying to get the following output which shows the count from tbl2 for each id, divided by the count from tbl1 for the same id:
id | count of id in tbl2 / count of id in tbl1
==========
1 | 1.5
2 | 2
So far I've got this:
select tbl1.Id, tbl2.Id, count(*)
from tbl1
join tbl2 on tbl1.Id = tbl2.Id
group by tbl1.Id, tbl2.Id
which just gives me... well... something nowhere near what I need, to be honest! I was trying count(tbl1.Id), count(tbl2.Id) but get the same multiplied amount (because I'm joining I guess?) - I can't get the individual representations into individual columns where I can do the division.
This gives consideration to your naming of tables -- the query from tbl2 needs to be first so the results will include all records from tbl2. The LEFT JOIN will include all results from the first query, but only join those results that exist in tbl1. (Alternatively, you could use a FULL OUTER JOIN or UNION both results together in the first query.) I also added an IIF to give you an option if there are no records in tbl1 (dividing by null would produce null anyway, but you can do what you want).
Counts are cast as decimal so that the ratio will be returned as a decimal. You can adjust precision as required.
SELECT tb2.id, tb2.table2Count, tb1.table1Count,
IIF(ISNULL(tb1.table1Count, 0) != 0, tb2.table2Count / tb1.table1Count, null) AS ratio
FROM (
SELECT id, CAST(COUNT(1) AS DECIMAL(18, 5)) AS table2Count
FROM tbl2
GROUP BY id
) AS tb2
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT id, CAST(COUNT(1) AS DECIMAL(18, 5)) AS table1Count
FROM tbl1
GROUP BY id
) AS tb1 ON tb1.id = tb2.id
(A subqquery with a LEFT JOIN will allow the query optimizer to determine how to generate the results and will generally outperform a CROSS APPLY, as that executes a calculation for every record.)
Assuming your expected results are wrong, then this is how I would do it:
CREATE TABLE T1 (ID int);
CREATE TABLE T2 (ID int);
GO
INSERT INTO T1 VALUES(1),(1),(2);
INSERT INTO T2 VALUES(1),(1),(1),(2),(2);
GO
SELECT T1.ID AS OutID,
(T2.T2Count * 1.) / COUNT(T1.ID) AS OutCount --Might want a CONVERT to a smaller scale and precision decimal here
FROM T1
CROSS APPLY (SELECT T2.ID, COUNT(T2.ID) AS T2Count
FROM T2
WHERE T2.ID = T1.ID
GROUP BY T2.ID) T2
GROUP BY T1.ID,
T2.T2Count;
GO
DROP TABLE T1;
DROP TABLE T2;
You can aggregate in subqueries and then join:
select t1.id, t2.cnt * 1.0 / t1.cnt
from (select id, count(*) as cnt
from tbl1
group by id
) t1 join
(select id, count(*) as cnt
from tbl2
group by id
) t2
on t1.id = t2.id

Join table on Count

I have two tables in Access, one containing IDs (not unique) and some Name and one containing IDs (not unique) and Location. I would like to return a third table that contains only the IDs of the elements that appear more than 1 time in either Names or Location.
Table 1
ID Name
1 Max
1 Bob
2 Jack
Table 2
ID Location
1 A
2 B
Basically in this setup it should return only ID 1 because 1 appears twice in Table 1 :
ID
1
I have tried to do a JOIN on the tables and then apply a COUNT but nothing came out.
Thanks in advance!
Here is one method that I think will work in MS Access:
(select id
from table1
group by id
having count(*) > 1
) union -- note: NOT union all
(select id
from table2
group by id
having count(*) > 1
);
MS Access does not allow union/union all in the from clause. Nor does it support full outer join. Note that the union will remove duplicates.
Simple Group By and Having clause should help you
select ID
From Table1
Group by ID
having count(1)>1
union
select ID
From Table2
Group by ID
having count(1)>1
Based on your description, you do not need to join tables to find duplicate records, if your table is what you gave above, simply use:
With A
as
(
select ID,count(*) as Times From table group by ID
)
select * From A where A.Times>1
Not sure I understand what query you already tried, but this should work:
select table1.ID
from table1 inner join table2 on table1.id = table2.id
group by table1.ID
having count(*) > 1
Or if you have ID's in one table but not the other
select table1.ID
from table1 full outer join table2 on table1.id = table2.id
group by table1.ID
having count(*) > 1

mysql - union tables by unique field

I have two tables with the same structure:
id name
1 Merry
2 Mike
and
id name
1 Mike
2 Alis
I need to union second table to first with keeping unique names, so that result is:
id name
1 Merry
2 Mike
3 Alis
Is it possible to do this with MySQL query, without using php script?
This is not a join (set multiplication), this is a union (set addition).
SELECT #r := #r + 1 AS id, name
FROM (
SELECT #r := 0
) vars,
(
SELECT name
FROM table1
UNION
SELECT name
FROM table2
) q
This will select all names from table1 and combine those with all the names from table2 which are not in table1.
(
select *
from table1
)
union
(
select *
from table2 t2
left join table1 t1 on t2.name = t1.name
where t1.id is null
)
Use:
SELECT a.id,
a.name
FROM TABLE_A a
UNION
SELECT b.id,
b.name
FROM TABLE_B b
UNION will remove duplicates.
As commented, it all depends on what your 'id' means, cause in the example, it means nothing.
SELECT DISTINCT(name) FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON something
if you only want the names
SELECT SUM(something), name FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON something GROUP BY name
if you want to do some group by
SELECT DISTINCT(name) FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
if the id's are the same
SELECT DISTINCT COALESCE(t1.name,t2.name) FROM
mytable t1 LEFT JOIN mytable t2 ON (t1.name=t2.name);
will get you a list of unique names from the 2 tables. If you want them to get new ids (like Alis does in your desired results), that's something else and requires the answers to a couple of questions:
do any of the names need to maintain their previous id. And if they do, which table's id should be preferred?
why do you have 2 tables with the same structure? ie what are you trying to accomplish when you generate the unique name list?

An issue possibly related to Cursor/Join

Here is my situation:
Table one contains a set of data that uses an id for an unique identifier. This table has a one to many relationship with about 6 other tables such that.
Given Table 1 with Id of 001:
Table 2 might have 3 rows with foreign key: 001
Table 3 might have 12 rows with foreign key: 001
Table 4 might have 0 rows with foreign key: 001
Table 5 might have 28 rows with foreign key: 001
I need to write a report that lists all of the rows from Table 1 for a specified time frame followed by all of the data contained in the handful of tables that reference it.
My current approach in pseudo code would look like this:
select * from table 1
foreach(result) {
print result;
select * from table 2 where id = result.id;
foreach(result2) {
print result2;
}
select * from table 3 where id = result.id
foreach(result3) {
print result3;
}
//continued for each table
}
This means that the single report can run in the neighbor hood of 1000 queries. I know this is excessive however my sql-fu is a little weak and I could use some help.
LEFT OUTER JOIN Tables2-N on Table1
SELECT Table1.*, Table2.*, Table3.*, Table4.*, Table5.*
FROM Table1
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.ID = Table2.ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table3 ON Table1.ID = Table3.ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table4 ON Table1.ID = Table4.ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table5 ON Table1.ID = Table5.ID
WHERE (CRITERIA)
Join doesn't do it for me. I hate having to de-tangle the data on the client side. All those nulls from left-joining.
Here's a set-based solution that doesn't use Joins.
INSERT INTO #LocalCollection (theKey)
SELECT id
FROM Table1
WHERE ...
SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE id in (SELECT theKey FROM #LocalCollection)
SELECT * FROM Table2 WHERE id in (SELECT theKey FROM #LocalCollection)
SELECT * FROM Table3 WHERE id in (SELECT theKey FROM #LocalCollection)
SELECT * FROM Table4 WHERE id in (SELECT theKey FROM #LocalCollection)
SELECT * FROM Table5 WHERE id in (SELECT theKey FROM #LocalCollection)
Ah! Procedural! My SQL would look like this, if you needed to order the results from the other tables after the results from the first table.
Insert Into #rows Select id from Table1 where date between '12/30' and '12/31'
Select * from Table1 t join #rows r on t.id = r.id
Select * from Table2 t join #rows r on t.id = r.id
--etc
If you wanted to group the results by the initial ID, use a Left Outer Join, as mentioned previously.
You may be best off to use a reporting tool like Crystal or Jasper, or even XSL-FO if you are feeling bold. They have things built in to handle specifically this. This is not something the would work well in raw SQL.
If the format of all of the rows (the headers as well as all of the details) is the same, it would also be pretty easy to do it as a stored procedure.
What I would do: Do it as a join, so you will have the header data on every row, then use a reporting tool to do the grouping.
SELECT * FROM table1 t1
INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.resultid -- this could be a left join if the table is not guaranteed to have entries for t1.id
INNER JOIN table2 t3 ON t1.id = t3.resultid -- etc
OR if the data is all in the same format you could do.
SELECT cola,colb FROM table1 WHERE id = #id
UNION ALL
SELECT cola,colb FROM table2 WHERE resultid = #id
UNION ALL
SELECT cola,colb FROM table3 WHERE resultid = #id
It really depends on the format you require the data in for output to the report.
If you can give a sample of how you would like the output I could probably help more.
Join all of the tables together.
select * from table_1 left join table_2 using(id) left join table_3 using(id);
Then, you'll want to roll up the columns in code to format your report as you see fit.
What I would do is open up cursors on the following queries:
SELECT * from table1 order by id
SELECT * from table1 r, table2 t where t.table1_id = r.id order by r.id
SELECT * from table1 r, table3 t where t.table1_id = r.id order by r.id
And then I would walk those cursors in parallel, printing your results. You can do this because all appear in the same order. (Note that I would suggest that while the primary ID for table1 might be named id, it won't have that name in the other tables.)
Do all the tables have the same format? If not, then if you have to have a report that can display the n different types of rows. If you are only interested in the same columns then it is easier.
Most databases have some form of dynamic SQL. In that case you can do the following:
create temporary table from
select * from table1 where rows within time frame
x integer
sql varchar(something)
x = 1
while x <= numresults {
sql = 'SELECT * from table' + CAST(X as varchar) + ' where id in (select id from temporary table'
execute sql
x = x + 1
}
But I mean basically here you are running one query on your main table to get the rows that you need, then running one query for each sub table to get rows that match your main table.
If the report requires the same 2 or 3 columns for each table you could change the select * from tablex to be an insert into and get a single result set at the end...
