LEFT OUTER JOIN 3 TABLES -SQL SERVER - sql-server

I need to join 3 tables using left outer join .Let me give you an example using 3 tables .In the below image we can see Table:[A.TableMaster] the drugDescription Column must be equal to Table:[C.Table2]-DrugDescription column [A.drugDescription=C.DrugDescription] and [C.drug=B.drug] according to the drug the Price is to be assigned from Table:[B.Table1] .
and also with the b.date
in simple english the user selects a date for the particular drug and price assigned for the drug
Image of the Tables:TableMaster,Table1,Table2
e.g
case WHEN Drug='OCTAGAM' THEN [b.price],
but i m not able to relate with the outer join and the three table seems confusing please Help..

I guess the query is simple as that:
SELECT a.*, c.Price
FROM TableMaster AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table2 AS b ON b.DrugDescription = a.DrugDescription
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table1 AS c ON c.Drug = b.Drug
AND c.Date = a.Date

Custom order for multiple joins in SQL Server

I am trying to write a query in SQL Server that replicates following figure:
I want the result of first left join (order_defect & ncdef) to be left join with third table (filter) and again the result of these three left join with last one (nsdic).
Each of these tables are huge, so I'm trying to find most efficient way to do it because i have limited space and I get "out of memory" error... any suggestion for an efficient query?
If I do:
Select *
from A
left join B on a.id = B.id
left join C on a.id = c.id
it's joining A and B first and then A and C...but I want the result of "A & B" to be join with "C".
Basically my question is how to use a result of one join, to join with another table.
Thank you
select
c.id
,c.colum1
,c.colum2
,c.colum3
,c.colum4
,t3.colum1
from
(
select
t1.id as id
,t1.colum1 as colum1
,t1.colum2 as colum2
,t2.column1 as colum3
,t2.colum2 as colum4
from table1 t1
left join table2 t2
on t1.id = t2.id
) as c
left join table3 t3
on c.id = t3.id
It's dificult to help you without the tables design and fields|columns, keys, ...
But I'll considerate:
1 - Primary keys fields, and how to relation the tables
2 - How to add left joins with "filters", or how to reduce the number of results
3 - Evaluate if it'll be better to use Sub-querys
Plus: Try the query with TOP 100 <--- to make test.
And remember: sometimes it's imposible to optimizate querys because of the hardware limits, like the RAM, in those case you have to show the data in sections.

Inner Join to Same Table Twice on same column

I'm having a problem with a SQL Server query trying to join a view with another view twice
SELECT
FAC.*
FROM
ViewFacturacionDiaria_Test AS FAC
INNER JOIN
ViewInformacionRepresentantes AS REP
ON REP.RepIDTabacal = FAC.Vendedor
INNER JOIN
ViewInformacionRepresentantes AS REP2
ON REP2.RepIDCtayOrden = FAC.Vendedor
WHERE
FecCpbte BETWEEN '2015-11-28' AND '2015-11-30'
In the "FAC" view I have sales information, in the other one I have a specific group of sales person which I want to filter from the main view.
I would like to understand why the query is returning an empty resultset.
Sorry, I cannot comment. But I believe Peter is right in his comment. Since you are using 2 inner joins they both need to return results. Are you expecting both joins to find a match?
Try this and see which column is null. That is the join that is resulting in no returned rows.
SELECT
FAC.Vendedor
,REP.RepIDTabacal
,REP2.RepIDCtayOrden
FROM
ViewFacturacionDiaria_Test AS FAC
LEFT JOIN
ViewInformacionRepresentantes AS REP ON
REP.RepIDTabacal = FAC.Vendedor
LEFT JOIN
ViewInformacionRepresentantes AS REP2 ON
REP2.RepIDCtayOrden = FAC.Vendedor
WHERE
FecCpbte BETWEEN '2015-11-28' AND '2015-11-30'

Grouping data based on expression using CountDistinct aggregate function

I am newbie to Stack overflow and also SQL server reporting services. So please excuse me for the format of the question.
So here is the situation:
I am developing a SSRS report which needs to be grouped by an Count of Distinct product names as shown below.
I created a text box called ProdCount with an expression
COUNTDISTNCT(Fields!Product.value,"DataSet1")
which gives me the count 63 within the scope of DataSet1.
Now i need to group the data by taking product names where the above formula is >1 .
=IIF(ProdCount>1,Fields!Product.value,Nothing)
My Problem:
I tried to call the ProdCount from the calculated field since i
cant use the aggregate functions in Calculated Fields and use
the second expression by using
= ReportItems!ProdCount.value
which gives me an error FieldValue Denying ReportItems
I tried to combine the above two expressions by creating a calculated field by
IIF(CountDistinct(Fields!Product.Value,"DataSet1")>1,Fields!Product.Value,Nothing)
which gives me an error Calculated fields cannot have expressions
I tried to use Report Variables in the same way as above(1) which was not working either.
I also tried to use CROSS JOIN in the query
Select Count(Distinct(Product Name)
from Query1
Cross join
My Main Query which give me the data
which is taking more time to execute.
So Can anyone help me with solution where i can group the data by combining the above two expressions.
Please excuse me for the format. I was confused with framing question. I accept all your edits , so that i can learn in future.
Here is my code:
SELECT * FROM
--Query1 which counts the number of distinct products)
(SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(gproduct.ProductName) AS ProdCount
FROM Table1
LEFT JOIN Table4
ON Table1.column=Table1.column
LEFT JOIN Table2
ON Table3.Column = TTable1.Column
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT Distinct Table6.Name AS ProductName,Table9.ColumnId
FROM Table6
INNER JOIN Table7
ON Table6.Column=Table7.Column
INNER JOIN Table8
ON Table7.Column=Table8.Column
INNER JOIN Table9
ON Table9.Column=Table8.Column
)gproduct
ON Table1.ColumnId=gproduct.ColumnId
GROUP BY gproduct.ColumnId,
)qProduct
CROSS JOIN
--My main Query which get data from different table including Product name
(SELECT
Upper(CASE WHEN (CASE WHEN Table4.Column =1 THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'NO' END)='YES'
THEN gab.ProductName
ELSE
Table2.productName
END) AS Product,
FROM Table1 AS ec
LEFT JOIN Table2 AS ep
ON --
LEFT JOIN Table3 AS ebrd
ON --
Left JOIN Table4 AS etpc
ON --
LEFT JOIN Table5 AS gst
ON --
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT Distinct Table6.Name AS ProductName,Table9.ColumnId
FROM Table6
INNER JOIN Table7
ON Table6.Column=Table7.Column
INNER JOIN Table8
ON Table7.Column=Table8.Column
INNER JOIN Table9
ON Table9.Column=Table8.Column
) gab
ON Table1.ColumnId=gab.ColumnId
)QMain
Personally I would try to solve the problem in query itself instead of SSRS report. According the data you provided it would be something like:
SELECT
ProductName,
count(distinct Product)
from
YourTable
group by
ProductName
having count(distinct product) > 1
Later on creating SSRS report should be quite easy.

Complex SQL Join

I am fairly new to SQL joins, but I have a tricky issue here. I have tried to resolve this on my own, and searched as well, but unsuccessful.
I have two primary SQL tables
CustProfile
ClientID || ClientName
CustTransaction
CorpID || DivID || DeptID
I need to display my output as follows:
`CorpID` `CorpIDClientName` `DivID` `DivIDName` `DeptID` `DeptIDName`
CustTransaction.CorpID join on CustProfile.ClientID to get `CorpIDClientName`
CustTransaction.DivID join on CustProfile.ClientID to get `DivIDName`
CustTransaction.DeptID join on CustProfile.ClientID to get `DeptIDName`
I hope someone can provide the join query. Thanks in advance
try this one:
SELECT a.CorpID,
b.ClientName AS CorpIDClientName,
a.DivID,
c.ClientName AS DivIDName,
a.DeptID,
d.ClientName AS DeptIDName
FROM CustTransaction a
INNER JOIN CustProfile b
on a.CorpID = b.ClientID
INNER JOIN CustProfile c
on a.DivID = c.ClientID
INNER JOIN CustProfile d
on a.DeptID = d.ClientID
Am I understanding correctly? You have Corporations, Divisions, and Departments all stored within the CustProfile table together.
So you are only joining the 2 different tables, but you need to join those 2 tables 3 separate times to get each of the different types of customer (Corp or Div or Dept)
If that's the case, what you need to do is alias the table that you are including multiple times so you can join it as if it were 3 separate tables, one for corps, one for divisions, and one for departments.
I'm not sure if the syntax would be the same in MSSQL, but for most SQL databases your join query would look something like this:
SELECT corps.ClientID CorpID, corps.ClientName CorpIDClientName,
divs.ClientID DivID, divs.ClientName DivIDName,
depts.ClientID DeptID, depts.ClientName DeptIDName
FROM CustProfile corps, CustProfile divs, CustProfile depts, CustTransaction t
WHERE t.CorpID = corps.ClientID
AND t.DivID = divs.ClientID
AND t.DeptID = depts.ClientID
That should, I think, more or less do what you want...

Multiple Joins in TSQL

I am trying to JOIN multiple tables to the same value in a table. So I have the table ActivityPartyBase and it has a column PartyId. I want to join COntactId in ContactBase table to PartyId and AccountId in AccountBase table to PartyId. This is the code I am using and it doesn't return anything. If I only join one it works. Any ideas?
SELECT DISTINCT Appointment.ScheduledStart, ActivityPartyBase.ActivityId
, Appointment.ActivityId AS Expr1, ActivityPartyBase.ScheduledStart AS Expr2
, Appointment.Subject, ActivityPartyBase.PartyId, ContactBase.ContactId
, ContactBase.FullName
FROM Appointment
INNER JOIN ActivityPartyBase
ON Appointment.ActivityId = ActivityPartyBase.ActivityId
INNER JOIN AccountBase ON ActivityPartyBase.PartyId = AccountBase.AccountId
LEFT OUTER JOIN ContactBase ON ActivityPartyBase.PartyId = ContactBase.ContactId
ORDER BY Appointment.ScheduledStart DESC
Your inner joins are filtering out results because there is no corresponding record on the joined table. I've always found the easiest way to debug is to "Select *" and use all LEFT JOINs. This will show you everything in your tables that relates to your main table; you should be able to look at your data and figure out what table is missing a record easily at that point.
To confirm that this is just a naming convention mismatch,
INNER JOIN AccountBase ON ActivityPartyBase.PartyId = AccountBase.AccountId
Are PartyID and AccountId the PK/FK?
Given this...
FROM Appointment
INNER JOIN ActivityPartyBase ON Appointment.ActivityId = ActivityPartyBase.ActivityId
INNER JOIN AccountBase ON ActivityPartyBase.PartyId = AccountBase.AccountId
LEFT OUTER JOIN ContactBase ON ActivityPartyBase.PartyId = ContactBase.ContactId
... you state this works (?) ...
FROM Appointment
INNER JOIN ActivityPartyBase ON Appointment.ActivityId = ActivityPartyBase.ActivityId
/* INNER JOIN AccountBase ON ActivityPartyBase.PartyId = AccountBase.AccountId */
/* LEFT OUTER JOIN ContactBase ON ActivityPartyBase.PartyId = ContactBase.ContactId */
Since the LEFT OUTER JOIN won't explicitly cause no results, that won't be your problem. Since the INNER JOIN will cause what you're seeing, we can only deduce that the join condition is incorrect.
In other words, ActivityPartyBase.PartyId is not equal to AccountBase.AccountID.
Are you sure there is data in all three tables in the inner join?
I'm guessing one of your INNER JOINs isn't picking up any data. Start with all 3 joins, then take out one of the joins at a time see which one breaks it. Then look at your join conditions and see which column isn't returning a record.
SOunds to me as if the tables are mutually exclusive. If it is ione table it is not inthe other (poor design). Try left joins to both tables.
