Microsoft Access - Enter Parameter Value why? - sql

I am encountering a problem for my database.
And tried to do the query for how many transactions have movie "Harry_Potter"?
so I used SQL query:
SELECT
COUNT(td.movie) AS number_of_occurrence,
td.transaction_number
FROM
TransactionDetails td,
MovieDetails md
WHERE
md.movie = Harry_Potter
But it asks for Harry_Potter enter parameter value why?
The relevant SQL statements are
CREATE TABLE TransactionDetails
(
transaction_number INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
movie VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
date_of_transaction DATE NOT NULL,
member_number INTEGER NOT NULL
)
CREATE TABLE MovieDetails
(
movie VARCHAR(30) PRIMARY KEY,
movie_type VARCHAR(3) NOT NULL,
movie_genre VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL
)
ALTER TABLE TransactionDetails
ADD CONSTRAINT member_number_fk FOREIGN KEY (member_number) REFERENCES LimelightMemberDetails(member_number);
ALTER TABLE TransactionDetails
ADD CONSTRAINT transaction_number_drink_fk FOREIGN KEY (transaction_number) REFERENCES DrinkTransactionDetails(transaction_number);
ALTER TABLE TransactionDetails
ADD CONSTRAINT transaction_number_food_fk FOREIGN KEY (transaction_number) REFERENCES FoodTransactionDetails(transaction_number);
ALTER TABLE TransactionDetails
ADD CONSTRAINT movie_fk FOREIGN KEY (movie) REFERENCES MovieDetails (movie);
Thank you for your help! If there is anything wrong with my database design please let me know! thank you!

Change the query to something like
SELECT
COUNT(td.movie) AS number_of_occurrence,
td.transaction_number
FROM
TransactionDetails td,
MovieDetails md
WHERE
md.movie = "Harry_Potter"
Seeing as movie is a string, you need quotes around the value you are looking for.
If I am not mistaken MS Access takes " and SQL SERVER takes '

try this
md.movie = "Harry_Potter"
I guess, you are simply missing the quotation marks around the string you are comparing.

SQL_Add constraint and check the string using LIKE

I am using Oracle SQL.
Here is the table rental, and the CC_Type column means the credit card type. After creating the table, I want to add a constraint to make sure the credit card is either 'credit' or 'debit'
CREATE TABLE rental
( Rental_Num VARCHAR2(5) CONSTRAINT rental_PK PRIMARY KEY,
Rent_Date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE,
Credit_Card_Num CHAR(16),
CC_Type CHAR(7),
Member_ID VARCHAR2(5)
);
Therefore, I try to write:
ALTER TABLE RENTAL
2 ADD CONSTRAINT CC_TYPE_CK
3 CHECK(CC_TYPE LIKE 'Credit' OR CC_TYPE LIKE 'Debit');
But SQL yield: cannot validate (SYSTEM.CC_TYPE_CK) - check constraint violated
I don't understand it violated what? And how to fix it?
Thanks!!
You apparently have data in the table that violates the constraint. Your code basically works; here is a db<>fiddle (this fixes the extra comma before the closing paren in the create table statement).
So, look for the bad data:
select r.*
from rental r
where r.cc_type not in ('Credit', 'Debit');
I would also write the constraint using in . . . it is simpler:
ALTER TABLE RENTAL
ADD CONSTRAINT CC_TYPE_CK
CHECK (CC_TYPE IN ('Credit', 'Debit'));
just remove , after Member_ID VARCHAR2(5) other wise your query working fine
CREATE TABLE rental
( Rental_Num VARCHAR2(5) CONSTRAINT rental_PK PRIMARY KEY,
Rent_Date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE,
Credit_Card_Num CHAR(16),
CC_Type CHAR(7),
Member_ID VARCHAR2(5)
);
ALTER TABLE RENTAL
ADD CONSTRAINT CC_TYPE_CK
CHECK(CC_TYPE LIKE 'Credit' OR CC_TYPE LIKE 'Debit');

I agree with Gordon Linoff, Check for the data in cc_type.
select Distinct r.cc_type
from rental r;
If you still want to create the constraint even when you have the other CC_TYPEs(in the other words, without validating the existing data) then try this
ALTER TABLE RENTAL
ADD CONSTRAINT CC_TYPE_CK
CHECK (CC_TYPE IN ('Credit', 'Debit')) NOVALIDATE;

Missing Right Parenthesis in SQL

I'm new to learning SQL. When I create this table, it has an Asterix (*) under the first parenthesis of the "(dbClassID)" and says "missing right parenthesis"
Does anyone know why it does that and how I can fix it?
CREATE TABLE vod_classification (
dbClassId CHAR(4) NOT NULL,
dbDescription VARCHAR2(100)
CONSTRAINT vod_classification_PK PRIMARY KEY (dbClassId)
);
CONSTRAINT is part of table creation and need to be comma delimited as other column:
CREATE TABLE zz_classification (
dbClassId CHAR(4) NOT NULL,
dbDescription VARCHAR2(100),
CONSTRAINT vod_classification_PK PRIMARY KEY( dbClassId)
);
Tables contain columns and constraints
you are missing , here try this VARCHAR2(100),
For a single-column constraint, it's neater to define it inline as part of the column:
create table vod_classification
( dbclassid varchar2(4) not null constraint vod_classification_pk primary key
, dbdescription varchar2(100) not null constraint vod_classification_uk unique
);
I have corrected the CHAR column to the standard string type which is VARCHAR2 in Oracle.
(PK columns will be not null automatically, but I've left it in for completeness and in case you later create table as select.)
When using the "Create" code, you must use a comma in the line where you define each column of the table. Except the last column. You can read the oracle sql syntax link as follows: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41085/sqlqr01001.htm#SQLQR110

SQL Creating a table

Im trying to create a table called "Receita" which contains a foreign key from a table called Farmaco
but for reason i keep getting this error and im not really picking it up
"There is already an object named 'Farmaco' in the database."
heres the cod where i create both tables
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects
where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Receita]'))
begin
CREATE TABLE Receita(
IDReceita int NOT NULL
CHECK(IDReceita>0),
IDFarmaco int,
CONSTRAINT PK_IDReceita PRIMARY KEY (IDReceita),
CONSTRAINT FK_IDFarmaco FOREIGN KEY (IDFarmaco)
REFERENCES Farmaco (IDFarmaco)
ON UPDATE CASCADE,
);
end
and
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects
where id=object_id(N'[dbo.Farmaco]'))
begin
CREATE TABLE Farmaco(
IDFarmaco int NOT NULL
CHECK(IDFarmaco>0),
IDMedico int,
Tipo varchar(50)
CONSTRAINT PK_IDFarmaco PRIMARY KEY (IDFarmaco),
CONSTRAINT FK_IDMedico7 FOREIGN KEY (IDMedico)
REFERENCES Médico (IDMedico)
ON UPDATE CASCADE,
);
end
Thank you
Like SteveJ mentioned there's a mistake here:
if not exists (
select * from dbo.sysobjects where id=object_id(N'[dbo.Farmaco]')
)
, which should be
if not exists (
select * from dbo.sysobjects where id=object_id(N'[dbo].[Farmaco]')
)
Look at brackets around the table name!
So the problem is that in the second script if condition is always true even when Farmaco table exists. Because of that you keep getting error message.
i have seen your snippet, you have to create table "dbo.Farmaco" first before "dbo.Receita" thats only way you can reference dbo.Farmaco table as foreign key in
dbo.Receita table.
Hope this will help you.

I can't insert null on a Foreign Key

I've tried to search but nothing works, and I don't know what to do.
There's a table with two foreign keys, one of which can be null. According to what I've searched, it's perfectly fine to have null foreign keys. But no matter what, when I try to insert a null in that value, it fails. It says:
*Cause: A foreign key value has no matching primary key value.
*Action: Delete the foreign key or add a matching primary key.
Here is the code of the table. The FK that I want to be null is idPedido
CREATE TABLE PAGOS(
fechaLimite DATE,
cuantia NUMBER NOT NULL,
fechaInicio DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE,
fechaLiquidacion DATE,
idPago VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
dni VARCHAR(14) NOT NULL,
tipoPago VARCHAR(7) DEFAULT 'OTRO' CHECK(tipoPAGO IN('MENSUAL','PEDIDO','OTRO')),
idPedido VARCHAR2(10),
PRIMARY KEY(idPago),
FOREIGN KEY(dni) REFERENCES MIEMBROS ON DELETE SET NULL,
FOREIGN KEY(idPedido) REFERENCES PEDIDOS ON DELETE SET NULL
);
There are some triggers and such to add sequences for the idPago value.
Here is the code of the procedure that creates a new item to the table:
create or replace PROCEDURE CREAR_PAGO(
new_fechaLimite IN PAGOS.fechaLimite%TYPE ,
new_cuantia IN PAGOS.cuantia%TYPE,
new_fechaInicio IN PAGOS.fechaInicio%TYPE,
new_fechaLiquidacion IN PAGOS.fechaLiquidacion%TYPE,
new_dni IN PAGOS.dni%TYPE,
new_tipoPago IN PAGOS.tipoPago%TYPE,
new_idPedido IN PAGOS.idPedido%TYPE
)
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO PAGOS(fechaLimite,cuantia,fechaInicio,fechaLiquidacion,dni,tipoPago,idPedido) VALUES(new_fechaLimite,new_cuantia,new_fechaInicio,new_fechaLiquidacion,new_dni,new_tipoPago,new_idPedido);
END CREAR_PAGO;
And here is me trying to insert a new element:
execute CREAR_PAGO('01012020',40,'01012010',null,49035480D,null,null);
I've already tried to put both "NULL" and "DEFAULT NULL" in the table code after idPedido's type and nothing works
Please I need help
It looks like the primary key for your table is idPago, but I don't see it in your insert statement. If that is the case, it would appear that your issue is trying to add a record with no primary key...not that the foreign key is null.

How can I get this query to print a record that only exists in one table?

I am trying to create a query that will accept a date from the user and display information from two tables based on this date. This works for all of my tests except my last test. My last test, I enter a date that should return a record that only exists in the expmast table and does not exist in the expbycc table. When I enter the date to try and get this record to be returned, it tells me no records have been found. I know this is because in my where, i have an AND that checks if M.ExpNum = C.ExpNUm which isn;t true for this record because it only exists in one table. I can not figure out how to get this query to work. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. Below is my script, followed by the table structures used for this query, thank you.
Script:
ACCEPT Date PROMPT 'Enter a date:';
SELECT M.ExpNum, EDate, IsCash, StoreCode, CashAmt, CType, CCNum, Amt
FROM ExpMast M, ExpByCc C
WHERE EDate = to_date('&Date','mm-dd-yy')
AND M.ExpNum = C.ExpNum;
Tables:
CREATE TABLE EXPMAST
(ExpNum NUMBER(2,0) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
EDate DATE,
IsCash VARCHAR2(1),
StoreCode VARCHAR2(4),
CONSTRAINT fk_STORE_EXPMAST FOREIGN KEY (StoreCode)
REFERENCES STORE (Code)
);
CREATE TABLE ExpByCC
(ExpNum NUMBER(2,0) NOT NULL,
CType VARCHAR2(1) NOT NULL,
CCNum VARCHAR2(16) NOT NULL,
Amt DECIMAL(5,2),
CONSTRAINT fk_CRCARD_ExpByCC FOREIGN KEY (CType, CCNum)
REFERENCES CRCARD (CType, CCNum),
CONSTRAINT fk_EXPMAST_ExpByCC FOREIGN KEY (ExpNum)
REFERENCES EXPMAST (ExpNum),
CONSTRAINT pk_ExpByCC PRIMARY KEY (ExpNum, CType, CCNum)
);
You need a left outer join. And you can't express an outer join using your implicit join syntax. You want to use explicit joins in the from clause.
A simple rule: NEVER use commas in the from clause.
Now, it is easy:
SELECT M.ExpNum, EDate, IsCash, StoreCode, CashAmt, CType, CCNum, Amt
FROM ExpMast M LEFT OUTER JOIN
ExpByCc C
ON M.ExpNum = C.ExpNum AND
WHERE M.EDate = to_date('&Date','mm-dd-yy') AND
C.ExpNum IS NULL;
