I created a query in Microsoft Access like the one below:
SELECT Deliverables.ID, Deliverables.Title, Deliverables.Summary,
Deliverables.Header_Code, Deliverables.Header_Code.Value, Deliverables.Sort_order,
Deliverables.Pillar, Deliverables.Pillar.Value, Deliverables.Misc_ID
FROM Deliverables
WHERE (((Deliverables.Pillar.Value)="Link Building"));
But my problem is that this query locks my fields and I cannot make changes to the table using the query view.
Any suggestions? I am using Microsoft Access 2007
I'm not very experienced with multi-value fields. However, I experimented with it a little, and I think the fields in your query might be editable if you can eliminate Header_Code.Value and Pillar.Value from your output field list. Can this version work for you?
SELECT d.ID, d.Title, d.Summary, d.Header_Code, d.Sort_order, d.Pillar, d.Misc_ID
FROM Deliverables AS d
WHERE (((d.Pillar.Value)="Link Building"));

I am using Excel's Power Query in order to test a SQL query that I am eventually going to use in order to make a pivot table that stays updated with the database. The database is accessed through an ODBC.
The problem is not related to Power Query itself but simply the SQL request.
Here I am trying to select all bills from the "facturation" (French database) table that are from the current year (2021). I am naming this selected data FACTURES_ANEE_COURANTE.
Then I want to also select some attributes of those items from 2021 in order to display them in the pivot table, but only on the selection that I just made in order to only select (and show) bills from the current year.
select * as FACTURES_ANNEE_COURANTE
from facturation
where year(date_fact)=2021 limit 3, select date_fact from FACTURES_ANNEE_COURANTE
I only have very basic knowledge of SQL and therefore this does not seem to work, the second part of my request that is (the first one works). I'm trying to do this in order to be able to show these specific attributes in the pivot table. What's the proper way to select attributes only from my first selection of elements from my table facturation?
Thank you for your help.
A major advantage of Power Query is being able to generate complex logic without needing to be able to code in SQL. So I would abandon writing hand coded SQL - there's no need.
Before PQ came out I had 2 decades of experience writing complex SQL. After PQ came out I've written almost none - the SQL code generated by PQ is good enough, you can easily add complex transformations that are hard/impossible in SQL, and overall developing and debugging is 10x easier.
For your scenario, I would build a PQ query just using the navigation to select your facturation table. Then I would use the PQ UI to Filter (instead of a SQL where clause) and Choose Columns (to restrict the columns returned).
Whatever other transformations you need are likely met using a button in the PQ UI.
I need to run an ETL to get data from a Sybase/SQL back-end into my MongoDB environment. We already have data from Sybase, but now there are a couple of additional fields we want to pull data in for. So with my familiarity being with Mongo (not so much Sybase), I'm trying to determine how I need to adjust our ETL to get this additional data.
The current SELECT statement looks like this:
`SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 d.*, d10.code code10, d10.id_number as Code10ID FROM diagnosis d LEFT JOIN diagnosis_icd10 d10 on d.icd10_id = d10.id_number ORDER BY d.id_number`
Now, within the diagnosis_icd10 table that we're doing the LEFT JOIN on, there are now a couple of extra fields available.
So, my question is, do I need to explicitly include these additional fields here in the SELECT statement in order for them to be available in the ETL process? Or is this only the case if I want to rename the fields? What should this look like?
Yes you need to explicitly request them, as your current query only gets all columns from the diagnosis table (aliased to d via the d*).
This has nothing to do with Sybase though this is basic SQL so would be the same for most databases. You just add them to the select statement as in d10.column_name like the others.
I updated a simple Access select query, adding four fields from the single table the query uses. When I then attempted to edit data in the form that references that query, Access did not allow any edits. After poking around at other possible edit rights problems I went back to the query design, and saw this:
The table CC_Tracker_1 does not exist in the database, nor is there a query by that name, as you can see in the object list:
In the design view, CC_Tracker_1 displays as an exact copy of CC_Tracker. Additionally, the four fields I added had CC_Tracker_1 listed as their table of origin.
Deleting CC_Tracker_1 from the query and re-adding the fields from CC_Tracker fixed the problem, but I'm very curious as to how this could happen.
Edit to add: This is the SQL Access generated. As you can see the alias it created isn't used anywhere in the code except in the variable list. Why it would do this is still the question:
SELECT CC_Tracker.LAST_NAME, CC_Tracker.FIRST_NAME, CC_Tracker.MRN, CC_Tracker.RIN,
CC_Tracker.SUBSCRIBER_ID, CC_Tracker.ASSIGNED, CC_Tracker.Letter, CC_Tracker.[1stCall],
CC_Tracker.CHRA, CC_Tracker.[ICP/Review], CC_Tracker.F2F, CC_Tracker.ICTCont,
CC_Tracker.ICTSheet, CC_Tracker.ICP2MD, CC_Tracker.SigPg, CC_Tracker.HTR_1st_cont,
CC_Tracker.HTR_2nd_cont, CC_Tracker.HTR_3rd_cont, CC_Tracker.HTR_Letter,
CC_Tracker.CLOSE, CC_Tracker.Comments, CC_Tracker.CHRA_Next, CC_Tracker.ICP_Next,
CC_Tracker.F2F_Next, CC_Tracker.ICT_Next, CC_Tracker_1.Final_Follow, CC_Tracker_1.BH_SA,
CC_Tracker_1.Readmitter, CC_Tracker_1.CCM, CC_Tracker.ASSIGNED_CARE_COORDINATOR, CC_Tracker.Final_Follow
FROM CC_Tracker, CC_Tracker AS CC_Tracker_1
WHERE (((CC_Tracker.ASSIGNED_CARE_COORDINATOR)=[Forms]![frmCoord_Selector]![cmbCoords]))
OR (((([CC_Tracker].[ASSIGNED_CARE_COORDINATOR])
Like [Forms]![frmCoord_Selector]![cmbCoords]) Is Null));
If you look at the SQL that is generated for the query, you will see that it has created an alias called CC_Tracker_1 for the CC_Tracker table.
Your query may need to be rewritten to exclude this alias, and any incorrect joins.
If you post the actual query generated, we will be able to help fix it.
Been rattling my brain for a while and I could not get pass how to do the SQL query that will show the relationship/connections between my two tables.
I'm working on an IT equipment inventory program. I have two tables;
SELECT serial_number, model, ship_dat, status FROM items_list
SELECT item_serial, connected-to_serial FROM connections
All items like desktops, laptops, monitors, etc are on the items_list table. To track down the relationship/connections of the items, I created the connections table. IE, Monitor with serial_number=Screen#1 is connected to a Desktop with serial_number=Serial#1. It works ok with my Window Form application because I
used a datagridview control to list all devices simple SQL query.
However, when trying to show the relationship/connection on SQL Reports I've ran out of ideas how to do it. I'm aiming to get the report look like below or something along the lines. I just need to show the connections between the items.
Thank you
You should be able to do this with a table in SSRS if that is what you are using. The query you would need to drive the table of all related items would be:
SELECT item_serial, connected-to_serial, mainItem.*, connectedItem.*
FROM connections
INNER JOIN items_list mainItem ON connections.item_serial = items_list.serial_number
INNER JOIN items_list connectedItem ON connections.connected-to_serial = connectedItem.serial_number
You can of course tailor the SELECT statement to your needs, mainItem.* and connectedItem.* will not give you the most descriptive column names. Using column aliases (found under column_alias here) you can give a more descriptive name to each column.
From here you should be able to use a table and create a row group on the main item (either name or serial number) to get the type of look you are looking to achieve here. I believe the Report Wizard actually has most of the functionality you are looking for and should handle the bulk of this. You may have to move some of the cells around to get the look you are going for though.
I am having an issue regarding repeating data in my access form, I want to be able to select a tutors name and for it to display all of the students linked to that tutor this does work however in the list view because one tutor sees many students the data is repeated (see images) Is there a SQL statement I should be using to stop this? (I am new to Access and SQLServer so I apologies if this is an obvious) Please see the images below which will make my issue clear.
I solved my problem by adding SELECT 'DISTINCT' to my SQL Statement so from
SELECT "Tutors"."PAT" FROM "Tutors";
To:
SELECT DISTINCT "Tutors"."PAT" FROM "Tutors";
