I have a query I am trying to save as a view but SSMS returns an error stating there are multiple columns with the same name.
I have tried to rename the affected columns as an alias but without success.
Column names in each view or function must be unique. Column name 'codemanQuestionID' in view or function 'vwBlocks' is specified more than once.
create view vwBlocks as
SELECT
LUConstructionType.codemanOptionID AS LUConstruction_codemanOptionID
, LUFascias.codemanOptionID AS LUFascias_codemanOptionID
, Block.windowsID
, LUWindows.windows
, LUWindows.codemanQuestionID AS codemanQuestion_ID

, LUExternalDoor.externalDoor
, LUExternalDoor.codemanOptionID as LUExternal_codemanOptionID
FROM Block LEFT OUTER JOIN
LUOwnership ON Block.ownershipID = LUOwnership.ownershipID LEFT OUTER JOIN

LUgasBoilerMakeModel ON Block.CommBoilerMakeModelID = LUgasBoilerMakeModel.makeModelId LEFT OUTER JOIN
LUMaintenanceResp ON Block.maintenanceRepID = LUMaintenanceResp.maintenanceRepID
Can anybody recommend a solution please?
Thanks for any help in advance.
I'm not seeing codemanQuestionID twice. Here's some advice that has helped me a ton avoid and/or troubleshoot issues like this.
There are at least four ways to alias a column:
(expression) AS ((alias))
((alias)) = (expression)
WITH ((cte name)) ((alias1), (alias2),...
FROM ((subquery)) AS ((alias1>),(alias2,...
AS is the worst IMO. Its sloppy and confusing, especially when you don't include AS. The aliasing style I usually go with is:
SELECT
col1 = <expression>,
col2 = <expression>,
colABC = <expression>
FROM schema.table1 AS t1
JOIN schema.table2 AS t2;
This has made debugging waaay easier.

I want to know, what constitutes as the left table and the right table after the first join.
For example:
From final_productions fp
left join things.pc p on fp.production_id = p.id
left join events.time t on fp.tx_id = t.id
left join things.car c on c.id = fp.channel_id
right join events.form f on f.production_id = p.id
left join events.trigger_alert ta on mc.cue_sheet_id = ta.id
I know for the first left join inner join things.pc p on fp.production_id = p.id the left table would be the table in the from statement which is final_productions. But what about the other joins(i.e the joins after the first join statement)? Could someone explain this, please? Thanks
The documentation says:
Parentheses can be used around JOIN clauses to control the join order. In the absence of parentheses, JOIN clauses nest left-to-right.
So
a LEFT JOIN b RIGHT JOIN c
is the same as
(a LEFT JOIN b) RIGHT JOIN c
This query was taken from a Rails application log...I'm trying to edit a massive postgresql statement I didn't write....If I don't add a distinct keyword after the SELECT, 2 duplicate rows appear for each braintree account. Why is this and is there another way to avoid having to use the distinct to avoid duplicates?
EDIT: I understand what distinct is supposed to do, the reason I'm asking is that it doesn't generate duplicates for other toy lines. By other toy lines, this query is building a "table" for a particular toy id (this specific example toys.id = 12). How do I figure out where the duplicate rows are being generated?

The purpose of using DISTINCT in a SELECT statement is to eliminate duplicate rows.
In MySQL I can do a nested join. With Eloquent is it possible?
LEFT JOIN users_permissions (
INNER JOIN permissions
ON permissions.id = user_permissions.id_permission
LEFT JOIN permissions_feature
ON permissions_feature.id = user_permissions.id_permission_feature
) ON users_permissions.user_id = users.id
Basically, the first LEFT JOIN will works if ON matches, but it requires that INNER JOIN match too. Additionally, another LEFT JOIN is done if all works.
With Eloquent it seems not be possible, because JoinClause don't have a join() method.
I have a table which needs to left outer joined with two different tables. When I put the table twice in the query and join it with it self in the where clause (like the sentence below) it works. I think this should not be the correct way. How can I write the select statement and outer join the table with multiple different tables?
SELECT cols."COLUMN_NAME"
, COALESCE(translations."COLUMN_LANG_TITLE",cols."COLUMN_TITLE") AS "COLUMN_TITLE"
, options."OPTION_DESC"
FROM
"EXTAPP_SETUP"."OBJECT_COLUMNS_TAB" cols LEFT OUTER JOIN "EXTAPP_SETUP"."COLUMN_LANG_TITLES_TAB" translations
ON translations."EXTAPP_ID" = cols."EXTAPP_ID" and translations."OBJECT_NAME" = cols."OBJECT_NAME" and translations."COLUMN_NAME" = cols."COLUMN_NAME" and translations."LANGUAGE_CODE" = 'fr',
"EXTAPP_SETUP"."OBJECT_COLUMNS_TAB" cols2 LEFT OUTER JOIN "EXTAPP_SETUP"."COL_FIX_OPTIONS_TAB" options
ON options."EXTAPP_ID" = cols2."EXTAPP_ID" and options."OBJECT_NAME" = cols2."OBJECT_NAME" and options."COLUMN_NAME" = cols2."COLUMN_NAME"
WHERE cols."EXTAPP_ID" = cols2."EXTAPP_ID" and cols."OBJECT_NAME" = cols2."OBJECT_NAME" and cols."COLUMN_NAME" = cols2."COLUMN_NAME"
You can use subsequent left joins.
Since you are not realy using your cols2 table, you can eliminate it from the query. This would also eliminate the where clause, because you don't need to join the cols table with itself
SELECT cols."COLUMN_NAME"
, COALESCE(translations."COLUMN_LANG_TITLE",cols."COLUMN_TITLE") AS "COLUMN_TITLE"
, options."OPTION_DESC"
FROM "EXTAPP_SETUP"."OBJECT_COLUMNS_TAB" cols
LEFT OUTER JOIN "EXTAPP_SETUP"."COLUMN_LANG_TITLES_TAB" translations
ON translations."EXTAPP_ID" = cols."EXTAPP_ID"
and translations."OBJECT_NAME" = cols."OBJECT_NAME"
and translations."COLUMN_NAME" = cols."COLUMN_NAME"
and translations."LANGUAGE_CODE" = 'fr'
LEFT OUTER JOIN "EXTAPP_SETUP"."COL_FIX_OPTIONS_TAB" options
ON options."EXTAPP_ID" = cols."EXTAPP_ID"
and options."OBJECT_NAME" = cols."OBJECT_NAME"
and options."COLUMN_NAME" = cols."COLUMN_NAME"
I manage to do the selection with more selects and a loop. 4 tables ( the last one was just for collecting all the data )
But now i'm thinking of a way to select all the fields i need with just one select statement. Here is the huge select :)
SELECT vbak~vbeln vbak~audat
tvakt~bezei
vbap~posnr vbap~matnr vbap~kwmeng vbap~vrkme
lips~vbeln lips~posnr lips~werks lips~lfimg
vbfa~vbtyp_n
FROM vbak JOIN vbap ON vbak~vbeln = vbap~vbeln
JOIN tvakt ON vbak~auart = tvakt~auart
LEFT JOIN vbfa ON vbfa~vbelv = vbak~vbeln AND vbfa~posnv = vbap~posnr
JOIN lips ON vbfa~vbeln = lips~vbeln AND vbfa~posnn = lips~posnr
INTO TABLE gt_salord
WHERE tvakt~spras = 'EN' AND
vbak~vbeln IN s_vbeln AND
vbak~audat IN s_audat.
The problem is this doesn't work. When i try to activate it throws this error: " Unable to compare with "VBAP~POSNR". A table can be joined with a maximum of one other table using LEFT OUTER JOIN "
If i don't use LEFT JOIN and only JOIN it works but i don't get all what i want. I need to get all the SALES ORDERS even if they don't have a DELIVERY ORDER assigned. Is there a way to do that, or do i really have to split my select?
I have noticed in SAP that it's more efficient to simplify select statements and proceed with LOOP and SELECT SINGLE for table that do not participate in data selection.
In your case data from table VBFA could be fetch after data selection (it is not restricting the amount of data fetched from the DB).
Of course it depends on indexes, application server buffering... but, even though it might be counter-intuitive for SQL experts, keeping select statements not too complex in SAP is best.
Can you try the following selection:
SELECT vbak~vbeln vbak~audat
tvakt~bezei
vbap~posnr vbap~matnr vbap~kwmeng vbap~vrkme
lips~vbeln lips~posnr lips~werks lips~lfimg
vbfa~vbtyp_n
FROM vbak JOIN vbap ON vbak~vbeln = vbap~vbeln
JOIN tvakt ON vbak~auart = tvakt~auart
LEFT JOIN vbfa ON vbfa~vbelv = vbap~vbeln AND vbfa~posnv = vbap~posnr
JOIN lips ON vbfa~vbeln = lips~vbeln AND vbfa~posnn = lips~posnr
INTO TABLE gt_salord
WHERE tvakt~spras = 'EN' AND
vbak~vbeln IN s_vbeln AND
vbak~audat IN s_audat.
I can't test the result, but the syntax check say: ok.
There is only one tiny difference:
x---- difference
v
LEFT JOIN vbfa ON vbfa~vbelv = vbap~vbeln AND vbfa~posnv = vbap~posnr
LEFT JOIN vbfa ON vbfa~vbelv = vbak~vbeln AND vbfa~posnv = vbap~posnr
You compared vbfa~vbelv with vbak~vbeln, I do it with vbap~vbeln. Both have the same value, but in the on-clause you use again vbap.
I dont know about SAP Abap . But from SQL point of view you can use derived query if it is supported in SAP.
here is some approach :
select * from
(
select * from
table1 inner join table2 on table1.key=table2.key
inner join table3 on table1.key=table3.key
) a left outer join table4 b
on a.key=b.key
Posting this as the question is tagged as SQL. Hope it works
Try to change the order of table fields in the on clause of left join. Put vbap~vbeln = vbfa~vbelv
