I created a temp table that populates User IDs YSP0000 to YSP9999.
I have an existing table (activeIds) that is already populated with YSP IDs.
I'm trying to output YSP IDs that DON'T exist in the existing table (activeIds) already.
For some reason the YSP IDs are not displaying and other IDs (for example ZSP) appear instead.
Is there a way to make the IDs appear?
I believe what you're looking for is not NOT EXISTS, but NOT IN. Something like this:
select samAccountName
from activeIds
where samAccountId not in
(
select badAccountIds
from #temp1
)
That will select all account names that IDs are not in the temp table.
You can accomplish the same thing with a left outer join.
select a.samAccountName
from activeIds a
left outer join #tmp1 b on a.samAccountName = b.userID
where b.userID is null -- don't exist in #tmp1
and a.samAccountName like 'ysp%'
order by a.samAccountName

I have a many to many relation with three columns, (owner_id,property_id,ownership_perc) and for this table applies (many owners have many properties).
So I would like to find all the owner_id who has many properties (property_id) and connect them with other three tables (Table 1,3,4) in order to get further information for the requested result.
All the tables that I'm using are
Table 1: owner (id_owner,name)
Table 2: owner_property (owner_id,property_id,ownership_perc)
Table 3: property(id_property,building_id)
Table 4: building(id_building,address,region)
So, when I'm trying it like this, the query runs but it returns empty.
SELECT address,region,name
FROM owner_property
JOIN property ON owner_property.property_id = property.id_property
JOIN owner ON owner.id_owner = owner_property.owner_id
JOIN building ON property.building_id=building.id_building
GROUP BY owner_id,address,region,name
HAVING count(owner_id) > 1
ORDER BY owner_id;
Only when I'm trying the code below, it returns the owner_id who has many properties (see image below) but without joining it with the other three tables:
SELECT a.*
FROM owner_property a
JOIN (SELECT owner_id, COUNT(owner_id)
FROM owner_property
GROUP BY owner_id
HAVING COUNT(owner_id)>1) b
ON a.owner_id = b.owner_id
ORDER BY a.owner_id,property_id ASC;
So, is there any suggestion on what I'm doing wrong when I'm joining the tables? Thank you!
This query:
SELECT owner_id
FROM owner_property
GROUP BY owner_id
HAVING COUNT(property_id) > 1
returns all the owner_ids with more than 1 property_ids.
If there is a case of duplicates in the combination of owner_id and property_id then instead of COUNT(property_id) use COUNT(DISTINCT property_id) in the HAVING clause.
So join it to the other tables:
SELECT b.address, b.region, o.name
FROM (
SELECT owner_id
FROM owner_property
GROUP BY owner_id
HAVING COUNT(property_id) > 1
) t
INNER JOIN owner_property op ON op.owner_id = t.owner_id
INNER JOIN property p ON op.property_id = p.id_property
INNER JOIN owner o ON o.id_owner = op.owner_id
INNER JOIN building b ON p.building_id = b.id_building
ORDER BY op.owner_id, op.property_id ASC;
Always qualify the column names with the table name/alias.
You can try to use a correlated subquery that counts the ownerships with EXISTS in the WHERE clause.
SELECT b1.address,
b1.region,
o1.name
FROM owner_property op1
INNER JOIN owner o1
ON o1.id_owner = op1.owner_id
INNER JOIN property p1
ON p1.id_property = op1.property_id
INNER JOIN building b1
ON b1.id_building = p1.building_id
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT ''
FROM owner_property op2
WHERE op2.owner_id = op1.owner_id
HAVING count(*) > 1);
I'm attempting to perform a LEFT JOIN on a table to consolidate some data, but I'd like to rename one of the fields I'm joining.
LEFT JOIN (SELECT email FROM user_email) AS foo ON (user_id = users.user_id)
I can select that data using foo.email, but I'd like to rename this field in the join so I can reference foo.user_email. What's the correct way to perform this?
LEFT JOIN (SELECT email as user_email FROM user_email) AS foo ON (user_id = users.user_id)
The origional problem I am attempting to solve is that I need to show all rows from a specific "joined" table. However these are sometimes blank with no totals and normally would not show (think categories and counts for each).
So what I am attempting to do is union to a "0 value" data set to show all categories. However when I do the union it shows a 0 value row, as well as the normal data. Here is an example..
SELECT category_name, COUNT(files_number)
FROM files
LEFT JOIN categories ON categories.category_id = files.category_id
UNION
SELECT category_name, 0
FROM categories
This will give me a result set that looks similar to this:
category_name | value
----------------------
open file | 0
open file | 23
closed file | 0
Is there any way to remove duplicate zero value entries? Please not there is also a complex WHERE clause in the actual query, so avoiding duplication on it is preferred.
I don't get why you are doing left join and union..
You can do below to remove duplicates,wrap your query and do group by
;with cte
as
(
SELECT category_name, COUNT(files_number)
FROM files
LEFT JOIN categories ON categories.category_id = files.category_id
UNION
SELECT category_name, 0
FROM categories
)
select categoryname,sum(aggcol)
from cte
group by
category
One way is to select all categories from the categories table, and LEFT JOIN onto the file counts (grouped by category_id).
SELECT c.category_name, ISNULL(fc.FileCount, 0) AS FileCount
FROM categories c
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT category_id, COUNT(files_number) AS FileCount
FROM files
GROUP BY category_id
) fc ON c.category_id = fc.category_id
Edit
If you want to reverse the query, you could do it something like this, using a RIGHT OUTER JOIN - so every category from categories table is returned, regardless of if there are any files for it:
SELECT c.category_name, COUNT(f.category_id) AS FileCount
FROM files f
RIGHT JOIN categories c ON c.category_id = f.category_id
GROUP BY c.name
I am trying to removing duplicate values which, for some reason, was imported in a specific Table.
There is no Primary Key in this table.
There is 27797 unique records.
Select distinct txdate, plunumber from itemaudit
Give me the correct records, but only displays the txdate, plunumber of course.
If it was possible to select all the fields but only select the distinct of txdate,plunumber I could export the values, delete the duplicated ones and re-import.
Or if its possible to delete the distinct values from the entire table.
If you select the distinct of all fields the value is incorrect.
To get all information on the duplicates, you simply need to query all information for the duplicate rows using a JOIN:
SELECT b.*
FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt, txdate, plunumber
FROM itemaudit
GROUP BY txdate, plunumber
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1) a
INNER JOIN itemaudit b ON a.txdate = b.txdate AND a.plunumber = b.plunumber
DELETE FROM itemaudit t1
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1 FROM itemaudit t2
WHERE t1.txdate = t2.txdate and t1.plunumber = t2.plunumber
AND t1.RDB$DB_KEY < t2.RDB$DB_KEY
);
I need help to optmize the SQL logic in one of my functions. Please, note that I am not able to use store procedure.
Here is my table. It will be initialized using #MainTable that contains a lot of records.
DECLARE TABLE #ResultTable
(
ResultValue INT
)
These are tables that stores some parameters - they can be emty too.
DECLARE TABLE #ParameterOne (ParameterOne INT)
DECLARE TABLE #ParameterTwo (ParameterOne NVARCHAR(100))
...
DECLARE TABLE #ParameterN(ParameterN TINYINT)
Now, I need to join a lot of tables to my #MainTable in order to select from it only some of its records.
The selected records depend on the information stored in the parameters table.
So, my current solution is:
INSERT INTO ResultTable(ResultValue)
SELECT ResultValue
FROM MainTable M
INNER JOIN #MainOne MO
ON M.ID=MO.ID
....
INNER JOIN #MainN MN
ON M.IDN=MN.ID
WHERE (EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #ParameterOne WHERE ParameterOne=MO.ID) OR NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #ParameterOne))
AND
...
AND
(EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #ParameterN WHERE ParameterN=MN.Name) OR NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #ParameterN ))
So, the idea is to add the records only if they match the current criteria from the parameters tables.
Because I am not able to use procedure to build dynamic query I am using the WHERE clause with combinations of EXISTS and NOT EXISTS for each parameter table.
The problem is that it works slower when I am adding more and more parameters table. Is there an other way to do this without using a lot of IF/ELSE statements checking what parameter table has records - it will make the function a lot bigger and difficult for read.
And ideas and advices are welcomed.
Good question.
Try the following one:
INSERT INTO ResultTable(ResultValue)
SELECT ResultValue
FROM MainTable M
INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM #MainOne WHERE (EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #ParameterOne WHERE ParameterOne=#MainOne.ID) OR NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #ParameterOne))) MO
ON M.ID=MO.ID
....
INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM #MainN WHERE (EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #ParameterN WHERE ParameterOne=#MainN.Name OR NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #ParameterN))) MO
ON M.IDN=MN.ID
Advantages:
Result of the JOIN is more quickly, because it does not process all data (it is already filtered)
It looks more simple for adjusting
