The following does not work. I get the error message that it doesn't recognize Query.Field4, Query.Field5, and Query.Field6 :
SELECT Table.*
FROM Table
WHERE ((Table.Field1=Query.Field4)
AND ((Table.Field2)=(Query.Field5))
AND (Table.Field3=Query.Field6));
How can I fix this?
Edit:
I have an issue though, I need to be able to edit the records and when I use the JOIN clause it will not let me edit the records.
It looks like you haven't put a JOIN clause in your statement.
For example:
SELECT Table.*
FROM Table
JOIN Query ON (Table.Field1 = Query.Field4) AND
(Table.Field2 = Query.Field5) AND
(Table.Field3 = Query.Field6)
EDIT:
As you're using a GUI editor to edit rows in a table, you might need to do something like this:
SELECT Table.*
FROM Table
WHERE Table.UniqueIdentifier IN (
SELECT Table.UniqueIdentifier
FROM Table
JOIN Query ON (Table.Field1 = Query.Field4) AND
(Table.Field2 = Query.Field5) AND
(Table.Field3 = Query.Field6)
)
The query above assumes that you have a primary key set on your table, or a column that gives each row it's own unique identifier (such as an incrementing integer, or a GUID).

I have a question about the SQL Query.
Basically, I would like to get a sample value from the testCategory = compareTestCat and testType = compTestType.
I am not really sure if we can compare the first row with the fourth row within the same query.
Is there any way that I can do this?
Try SELF JOIN to compare values within the same table.
Try the Following:
SELECT A.*
FROM YourTable A
JOIN YourTable B ON A.testCategory = B.compareTestCat and A.testType = B.compTestType
A and B are the different alias names for the same table.
Based on the very sparse information you provided, this looks like what you need:
SELECT *
FROM
TestTable
WHERE
testCategory = compareTestCat
AND testType = compTestType;
UPDATE
If you are interested in comparing different rows in the same table with each other, then you will need to go with a self join on the table. Examples of solutions for this have already been provided by others.
I m struggling to update one column for a table with a sub query. I have a table where currently one of the values is null.
Currently I have:
UPDATE DW1_PURCHASES SET DW1_PURCHASES.TOTAL_AMT =
(
SELECT DW1_PURCHASES.QUANTITY * DW1_PRODUCTS.PRICE
FROM DW1_PURCHASES, DW1_PRODUCTS
WHERE DW1_PURCHASES.PRODUCT_ID = DW1_PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID
)
Although subquery returns data which I need to insert I get a error of single row subquery returns multiple rows.How do I basically shift subquery result to the table?
Thanks.
You don't have to JOINthe update table inside the sub-query. Just correlate the sub-query with update table
UPDATE DW1_PURCHASES
SET DW1_PURCHASES.TOTAL_AMT =
(
SELECT DW1_PURCHASES.QUANTITY * DW1_PRODUCTS.PRICE
FROM DW1_PRODUCTS
WHERE DW1_PURCHASES.PRODUCT_ID = DW1_PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID
)
Note : If your DW1_PRODUCTS table has duplicated PRODUCT_ID then even now there is a possibility to get the same error
I have a query for example Query1 = Select Name from table where some Criteria.
Now this query returns a result set of course, what I want is to query the result set of this query, for example I only want the unique Names from the above query select Distinct(Name) from Query1. I should mention that I know I can just use distinct in Query1 but this is just an example my real scenario is somewhat different, what I want to know is whether it's possible to query the result set of a previous query.
I am using SQL Server 2012.
There are several ways to solve this:
1: create a view from the first query and run the second query on the view.
2: nest both queries, like this:
SELECT DISTINCT [Name]
FROM (
SELECT [Name]
FROM table
WHERE some Criteria
) As InnerQuery
3: use a temporary table to store the resultset of the first query as suggested by wewesthemenace in the comments.
4: use CTE as suggested the thebreiflabb in the other answer to this post.
Personally, I would probably go with the first or second option, depending if you need to use the first query as stand alone as well.
You can use the WITH clause
WITH SomeClients AS (
SELECT
c.ID
FROM Clients c
WHERE c.Name LIKE '%hello%'
)
SELECT DISTINCT
sc.ID
FROM SomeClients sc
You need WITH clause. The Syntax Is-
WITH someName AS(
//Your Db Query
)
SELECT * FROM someName // OR Whatever you want
you can create a table to store the results temporarily and use that table in a new query
DECLARE #resultset table (
ID int identity(1,1) not null
, name nvarchar(100)
)
Select top 50 application_Name
into resultset
from Applications_ASIS
I've tried searching for this particular topic here, but haven't found the answer... Anyway, my aim is to update table (let's call it t_item), specifically column owner_id with values depending on another table (t_item_geo which is in turn linked to t_geo).
I'm not entirely sure whether the syntax below is actually valid for update statements.
UPDATE t_item SET owner_id= 6993 WHERE t_item.owner_id in
(SELECT t_item.owner_id FROM
t_item,
t_item_geo,
t_geo
WHERE
t_item.id = t_item_geo.item_id and
t_item_geo.geo_id = t_geo.id and
t_item.owner_id in (SELECT id FROM t_user WHERE network_id='fffffff') and
t_geo.id in (SELECT id FROM t_geo WHERE full_name = 'yyyyyyy')
);
Anyway, my problem with this query is that it updates far more rows than it should - if I separate just the select statement Oracle returns ~750 rows but the udpate itself updates more than 4000 rows. It's almost as if the condition was completely ignored - which would point me to perhaps incorrect syntax.
I need to update specific value in the table based on the select from few other 'joined' tables. Hope it makes sense.
Thanks for any contribution!
UPDATE: sorry - maybe it wasn't clear from the question itself, but the correct number of edited items should be ~750 and not ~4000. Thanks!
try this
MERGE INTO t_item
USING
(
SELECT t_item.owner_id FROM
t_item,
t_item_geo,
t_geo,
t_item.rowid rowid_sub
WHERE
t_item.id = t_item_geo.item_id and
t_item_geo.geo_id = t_geo.id and
t_item.owner_id in (SELECT id FROM t_user WHERE network_id='fffffff') and
t_geo.id in (SELECT id FROM t_geo WHERE full_name = 'yyyyyyy')
) on (rowid = rowid_sub)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET owner_id= 6993;
I'm doing a data conversion between systems and have prepared a select statement that identifies the necessary rows to pull from table1 and joins to table2 to display a pair of supporting columns. This select statement also places blank columns into the result in order to format the result for the upload to the destination system.
Beyond this query, I will also need to update some column values which I'd like to do in a separate statement operation in a new table. Therefore, I'm interested in running the above select statement as a subquery inside a SELECT INTO that will essentially plop the results into a staging table.
SELECT
dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.AppId, '',
dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.InvId,
'Add', dbo_tblpatinvention.disclosurestatus, ...
FROM
dbo_tblPatInvention
INNER JOIN
dbo_tblPatCountryApplication ON dbo_tblPatInvention.InvId = dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.InvId
ORDER BY
dbo_tblpatcountryapplication.invid;
I'd like to execute the above statement so that the results are dumped into a new table. Can anyone please advise how to embed the statement into a subquery that will play nicely with a SELECT INTO?
You can simply add an INTO clause to your existing query to create a new table filled with the results of the query:
SELECT ...
INTO MyNewStagingTable -- Creates a new table with the results of this query
FROM MyOtherTable
JOIN ...
However, you will have to make sure each column has a name, as in:
SELECT dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.AppId, -- Cool, already has a name
'' AS Column2, -- Given a name to create that new table with select...into
...
INTO MyNewStagingTable
FROM dbo_tblPatInvention INNER JOIN ...
Also, you might like to use aliases for your tables, too, to make code a little more readable;
SELECT a.AppId,
'' AS Column2,
...
INTO MyNewStagingTable
FROM dbo_tblPatInvention AS i
INNER JOIN dbo_tblPatCountryApplication AS a ON i.InvId = a.InvId
ORDER BY a.InvId
One last note is that it looks odd to have named your tables dbo_tblXXX as dbo is normally the schema name and is separated from the table name with dot notation, e.g. dbo.tblXXX. I'm assuming that you already have a fully working select query before adding the into clause. Some also consider using Hungarian notation in your database (tblName) to be a type of anti-pattern to avoid.
If the staging table doesn't exist and you want to create it on insert then try the following:
SELECT dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.AppId,'', dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.InvId,
'Add', dbo_tblpatinvention.disclosurestatus .......
INTO StagingTable
FROM dbo_tblPatInvention
INNER JOIN dbo_tblPatCountryApplication
ON dbo_tblPatInvention.InvId = dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.InvId;
If you want to insert them in a specific order then use try using a sub-query in the from clause:
SELECT *
INTO StagingTable
FROM
(
SELECT dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.AppId, '', dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.InvId,
'Add', dbo_tblpatinvention.disclosurestatus .......
FROM dbo_tblPatInvention
INNER JOIN dbo_tblPatCountryApplication ON
dbo_tblPatInvention.InvId = dbo_tblPatCountryApplication.InvId
order by dbo_tblpatcountryapplication.invid
) a;
Try
INSERT INTO stagingtable (AppId, ...)
SELECT ... --your select goes here
