Join Query Combining Two Tables - sql-server

I need to display 3 columns from table A and one column from table B. I used the following join query to combine them but not getting the value in the expected columns.
example1 -this is working.(If I display one column from table A and one column from table B it works)
SELECT
tableA.col1(fkid),
tableB.col1
FROM tableA
INNER JOIN tableB
ON tableA.fkid = tableB.pkid;
I need to display 3 columns from table A and one column from table B the below query is not working.
SELECT
tableA.col1,
tableA.col2,
tableA.col3,
tableB.col1
FROM tableA
FULL JOIN tableB
ON tableA.fkid = tableB.pkid;
Original query:
select device.name,device.description, device.fkphonetemplate,phonetemplate.name from device inner join phonetemplate ON device.fkphonetemplate=phonetemplate.pkid;
Result:
description fkphonetemplate name
Nikhil (nkalantr) 10ce46f6-615d-4605-9f42-454225df5647 ARRAY(0xc7153b0)
Expected result should be:
description fkphonetemplate name
Nikhil (nkalantr) 10ce46f6-615d-4605-9f42-454225df5647 Standard 7960 SCCP
I don't get name from device table in the result and the name from phonetemplate table shows something as Array0X... but I need to get the name of phonetemplate like Standard 7960 as shown in expected result.
Can you refine my query or suggest what's wrong with the 2nd query?

Any reason for you to using full join instead of inner join ?
If no,try using inner join.
SELECT
a.col1,
a.col2,
a.col3,
b.col1
FROM tableA a
INNER JOIN tableB b
ON a.fkid = b.pkid;
Can you provide your database sample data , so we can clearly know what your need.

find common rows of matching column from two tables

I have two tables with a column values mostly matching with each other.
How can I find row that are matching in common to that column.
Here is my fiddle
It is showing Error at B
I think JOIN will work, please try below:
SELECT A.ProductName
FROM ForgeRock AS A
JOIN ForgeRock1 AS B ON A.ProductName = B.ProductName;
I think ON is missing
SELECT count(*)
FROM ForgeRock A JOIN ForgeRock1 B
on A.ProductName = B.Productname

Shortcut for adding table to column name SQL-server 2014

Stupidly simple question, but I just don't know what to google!
If I create a query like this:
Select id, data
from table1
Now I want to join with table2. I can immediately see that the id column is no longer unique and I have to change it to
table1.id
Is there any smart way (like a keyboard-shortcut) to do this, instead of manually adding table1 to every column? Either before I add the Join to secure that all columns will be unique, or after with suggestions based on the different possible tables.
No, there is no helper.
But do not you can alias the table name:
select x.Col1, y.Col2
from ALongTableName x
inner join AReallyReallyLongTableName y on x.Id = y.OtherId
which can also make queries clearer, and is very much necessary when doing self joins.
First of all, you should start using aliases:
SQL aliases are used to give a database table, or a column in a table,
a temporary name.
Basically aliases are created to make column names more readable.
This will narrow down your problem and make your code maintenance easier. If that's not enough, I guess you could start using auto-completion tools, such as these:
SQL Complete
SQL Prompt
ApexSQL Complete
These have your desired functionality, however, they do not always work as expected (at least for me).
Oh! You can use alias table name. Like this:
SELECT A.ID, A.data
FROM TableA A
INNER JOIN TableB B
ON A.ID = B.ID
You just only use A. or B. if two table have same this column selected. If they different, you don't need: Like this:
SELECT A.ID, data -- if Table B not have column data
FROM TableA A
INNER JOIN TableB B
ON A.ID = B.ID
Or:
Select A.*, B.ID
FROM TableA A
INNER JOIN TableB B
ON A.ID = B.ID

display data from two different table which don't have any relation?

table1: in that three columns billno, billamt, wno
table2: in that three column chequeentry, chequeamt, wno
i want display the result which is not repeated rows where wno is equal to same
if from table1 i got four rows and from table2 i got two rows. I want display the rows but not repeated. if i use join its done the multiply and show the result and my table2's rows are repeated. But dont want this. it display the null value it i accepted.
i pass the one query i.e join the table
select b.billno, b.billamt, c.chequeentry, c.chequeamt
from t2 as b
inner join t3 as c on b.wno=c.wno where b.wno=1
i got output but some value are repeated.
Use the Full outer Join, it return both matching, and not matching rows from both tables.
Syntax:
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1 FULL OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.column_name=table2.column_name;

left join not showing null values

I need to find the items that exist in table A but not in table B. Now that would be really simple in MySQL doing a join like this
select * from A
left join B on A.key=B.key
where B.key is null
However for some reason this is not working in MSSQL. I have created the query without the where clause to see all the results and I only see matches, not null values. Do you have any idea why this is not working?
I know I can alternatively use "when not exists" but I want to know the reason as to why with a join is not working.
I am adding the code for your review
select Absences.CustomerID, b.*
from (
select * from openquery(JUAN_INTERFACE,'select cmp_wwn from Planet_Customers where i_outcome =4')) b
left join Absences on Absences.CustomerID = b.cmp_wwn
where Absences.Type = 3223
Your where clause is filtering out null values:
where Absences.Type = 3223
You are left-joining from the openquery subquery to Absences; and then filtering only rows that have a specific (non-null) value in an Absences column.
Did you mean to join the other way around, from Absenses to openquery?

Small ms Sql query to get the max of an id with some criteria

I want sql query to get the above result. The result is the maximum Id in TableA whose s_id in TableB has Stat=true i.e. 1.
The following does not do what I want:
select i.category_id,i.image_id,i.image_original,i.image_title,i.photographer
from images i
inner join schedule s
on i.scheduleid=s.scheduleid
and s.status='live'
where image_id=(select max(image_id) from images)
Use TOP to retrieve only 1 row
Use ORDER BY to control the sorting, so you get the single row you want
SELECT TOP(1) a.id, a.[image], a.s_id, b.stat, b.[desc]
FROM TableA a
JOIN TableB b on a.s_id = b.s_id
WHERE b.stat = 1
ORDER BY A.ID DESC
An SQLFiddle showing this.
