Having some trouble here.
Table 1:
CID, Name, HID
(001-233, Test1, 12345)
Table 2:
CID, Name, HID, Primary
(001-233, Test1, 12345, '')
Want to update Table2 where a join exists with Table1 with a constant value called 'Y'
So statement is as follows:
UPDATE T2 SET T2.Primary = 'Y'
FROM T2
INNER JOIN T1
ON (T1.CID = T2.CID
AND T1.HID = T2.HID)
This statement just ends up updating all the rows, it's like it only does a join on one id and not the other? I finally gave up and did a WHERE IN subquery with a single "id" by concatenating the two ide fields CID+HID. But I want to understand why this didnt work using the proper join.
Table1 is a CTE..
update t2
set (t2.primary) = (select 'Y' from t1 where T1.CID = T2.CID AND T1.HID = T2.HID)

I have 2 tables that showing data Item master and BOM. I would like to join the tables between Item master as T1 and BOM as T2 and the additional table for table BOM as T3. Item master table containing ITM_CD, ITM_TYP (1,2,3,4) where each ITM_TYP represents a code for the first digit on ITM_CD. The thing that I want is like the picture below
CHILD_CD2 value replace to CHILD_CD1 value. So the data should be like this. What query should I fix ? I am very new using oracle query.
Here is mycode;
SELECT DISTINCT
T1.ITM_CD,
T2.C_ITM_CD AS CHILD_CD1,
T3.C_ITM_CD AS CHILD_CD2
FROM CM_HINMO_ALL T1
INNER JOIN (SELECT P_ITM_CD, C_ITM_CD, BOM_PTN FROM SM_BOM_ALL) T2
ON T1.ITM_CD = T2.P_ITM_CD
LEFT JOIN (SELECT P_ITM_CD, C_ITM_CD, BOM_PTN FROM SM_BOM_ALL) T3
ON T2.C_ITM_CD = t3.P_ITM_CD
WHERE 0=0
AND T2.BOM_PTN IN (1)
AND T1.ITM_TYP IN (1,2)
AND T1.ITM_CD = '110100370'
ORDER BY 2
Just use Case expression to replace the values.
SELECT ITM_CD, CASE WHEN CHILD_CD2 IS NULL THEN CHILD_CD2 ELSE CHILD_CD1 END AS CHILD_CD1
FROM TABLE1
If I understood, you want child_cd2 value should taken precedence over child_cd1 if available. If this assumption is right then we can use coalesce which returns the fist non null expression to achieve the same.
SELECT DISTINCT
T1.ITM_CD,
COALESCE(T3.C_ITM_CD,T2.C_ITM_CD) AS CHILD_CD1
FROM CM_HINMO_ALL T1
INNER JOIN SM_BOM_ALL T2
ON T1.ITM_CD = T2.P_ITM_CD
LEFT JOIN SM_BOM_ALL T3
ON T2.C_ITM_CD = t3.P_ITM_CD
WHERE T2.BOM_PTN IN (1)
AND T1.ITM_TYP IN (1,2)
AND T1.ITM_CD = '110100370'
ORDER BY 2
I have two tables with same structure that can have duplicated records, I want to identify which ones from table 2 already exists in table 1 and delete them from table 2. The following SELECT returns the duplicated records I want to delete. None of these tables have a primary key, so I need to do multiple 'ON' to identify unique records.
SELECT V.*
FROM table2 AS V
INNER JOIN table1 AS N
ON V.column1 = N.column1 AND V.column2 = N.column2 AND V.column3= N.column3;
Then I insert this as a subquery for the DELETE:
DELETE FROM table2
WHERE table2.column1 IN
(SELECT V.*
FROM table2 AS V
INNER JOIN table1 AS N
ON V.column1 = N.column1 AND V.column2 = N.column2 AND V.column3= N.column3);
When running this query I get the following error:
You have written a query that can return more than one field without using the reserved word EXISTS in the FROM clause of the main query. Correct the SELECT instruction of the subquery to request a single field.
I also tried this way, but it deletes all the records from table 2, not only the result of the subquery:
DELETE FROM table2
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT V.*
FROM table2 AS V
INNER JOIN table1 AS N
ON V.column1 = N.column1 AND V.column2 = N.column2 AND V.column3= N.column3);
This is the first solution I came up with, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to do in MS Access inserting into table1 all the records from table2 that doesn't match, and then delete table2.
All sugestions will be appreciated :)
Take the advice of the error message and try using exists logic:
DELETE
FROM table2 t2
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM table1 t1
WHERE t1.column1 = t2.column1 AND
t1.column2 = t2.column2 AND
t1.column3 = t2.column3);
The problem with your current exists attempt is that the query inside the EXISTS clause always has a result set, and that result set is independent of the outer delete call. So, all records get deleted.
I think you're just missing the specific column in your subquery.
This should work better :
DELETE FROM table2
WHERE table2.column1 IN
(SELECT V.column1
FROM table2 AS V
INNER JOIN table1 AS N
ON V.column1 = N.column1 AND V.column2 = N.column2 AND V.column3= N.column3);
I have this query in which i want to find who are all the other authors are for each title in which the author is Mr.X
The query I wrote for that is:
SELECT DISTINCT (author_name) as AUTHORS
from table1
where title = (Select title from table1 where (author_name) = 'X');
I got the ERROR: more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression
I think to avoid this error i should use a self join but I'm not able to figure out how to do it.
your subquery returning more than 1 record and in such case you can't use = operator rather You should use IN operator to check against multiple values like below
where title in (Select title from table1 where (author_name) = 'X')
So, your query should look like
SELECT DISTINCT (author_name) as AUTHORS
from table1
where title in (Select title from table1 where (author_name) = 'X');
To change it to join instead
SELECT DISTINCT (t1.author_name) as AUTHORS
from table1 t1
join table1 t2
on t1.title = t2.title
An extra answer, in my opinion the performance of your query improves using: "count"
SELECT DISTINCT (author_name) as AUTHORS
from table1 t1
where ISNULL((Select COUNT(t2.title) from table1 t2 where (author_name) = 'X' AND t1.title = t2.title), 0) > 0
my_table has 4 columns: id integer, value integer, value2 integer, name character varying
I want all the records that:
have the same value2 as a record which name is 'a_name'
have a field value inferior to the one of a record which name is 'a_name'
And I have satisfying results with the following query:
select t.id
from my_table as t
where t.value < ( select value from my_table where name = 'a_name')
and s.value2 = (select value2 from my_table where name = 'a_name');
But is it possible to simplify this query with sql joins ?
Joining on the same table is still too much intricate in my mind. And I try to understand with this example.
What I happened so far trying, is a result full of dupplicates:
select t2.id
from my_table as t
inner join my_table as t2 on t2.value2 = t.value2
where t2.value < ( select value from my_table where name = 'a_name');
I think this will solve your problem.
select t1.id
from my_table as t1
join my_table as t2
on t1.value2 = t2.value2
and t2.name = 'a_name'
and t1.value < t2.value
You should use self join instead of inner join see this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177490%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
You can always get distinct results by calling "SELECT distinct t2.id ..."
However, that will not enhance your understanding of inner joins. If you are willing, keep reading on. Let's start by getting all records with name = 'a_name'.
SELECT a.*
FROM my_table as a
WHERE a.name = 'a.name';
A simpler way to perform your inner joins is to understand that the result for the above query is yet another table, formally known as a relation. You can think of it as joining on the same table, but an easier way to think of it is as "joining on the result of this query". Lets put this to the test.
SELECT other.id
FROM my_table as a,
INNER JOIN my_table as other ON other.value2 = a.value2
WHERE a.name = 'a_name'
AND other.value < a.value;
If the first query (all rows with name = 'a_name') has many results, you stand a good chance of the second query having duplicates, because the inner join between aliases 'a' and 'other' is a subset of their cross product.
Edits: Grammar, Clarity
please try this
select t.id
from my_table as t
inner join
(select value from my_table where name = 'a_name')t1 on t.value<t1.value
inner join
(select value2 from my_table where name = 'a_name')t2 on t.value2=t2.value2
I need to create a background job that processes a table looking for rows matching on a particular id with different statuses. It will store the row data in a string to compare the data against a row with a matching id.
I know the syntax to get the row data, but I have never tried comparing 2 rows from the same table before. How is it done? Would I need to use variables to store the data from each? Or some other way?
(Using SQL Server 2008)
You can join a table to itself as many times as you require, it is called a self join.
An alias is assigned to each instance of the table (as in the example below) to differentiate one from another.
SELECT a.SelfJoinTableID
FROM dbo.SelfJoinTable a
INNER JOIN dbo.SelfJoinTable b
ON a.SelfJoinTableID = b.SelfJoinTableID
INNER JOIN dbo.SelfJoinTable c
ON a.SelfJoinTableID = c.SelfJoinTableID
WHERE a.Status = 'Status to filter a'
AND b.Status = 'Status to filter b'
AND c.Status = 'Status to filter c'
OK, after 2 years it's finally time to correct the syntax:
SELECT t1.value, t2.value
FROM MyTable t1
JOIN MyTable t2
ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE t1.id = #id
AND t1.status = #status1
AND t2.status = #status2
Some people find the following alternative syntax easier to see what is going on:
select t1.value,t2.value
from MyTable t1
inner join MyTable t2 on
t1.id = t2.id
where t1.id = #id
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE id=1 UNION SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE id=2) a
If you got two rows, they different, if one - the same.
SELECT * FROM A AS b INNER JOIN A AS c ON b.a = c.a
WHERE b.a = 'some column value'
I had a situation where I needed to compare each row of a table with the next row to it, (next here is relative to my problem specification) in the example next row is specified using the order by clause inside the row_number() function.
so I wrote this:
DECLARE #T TABLE (col1 nvarchar(50));
insert into #T VALUES ('A'),('B'),('C'),('D'),('E')
select I1.col1 Instance_One_Col, I2.col1 Instance_Two_Col from (
select col1,row_number() over (order by col1) as row_num
FROM #T
) AS I1
left join (
select col1,row_number() over (order by col1) as row_num
FROM #T
) AS I2 on I1.row_num = I2.row_num - 1
after that I can compare each row to the next one as I need
