i have two Identical tables in my SQL database these tables consist of Item Code and QTY each.
I need to see which items in both tables that have different quantities AND the items that
don't exist in the other table
I tried using FULL OUTER JOIN ON ITEMCODE=ITEMCODE AND QTY<>QTY
IT IS NOT WORKING
the result i am getting is something like that:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/nmb7yu
Try something like this:
SELECT c.Code ,
t1.Code ,
t1.Qty ,
t2.Code ,
t2.Qty
FROM ( SELECT Code
FROM dbo.Table1
UNION
SELECT Code
FROM dbo.Table2
) c
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Table1 t1 ON c.Code = t1.Code
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Table2 t2 ON c.Code = t2.Code
WHERE t1.Code IS NULL
OR t2.Code IS NULL
OR t1.Qty <> t2.Qty
Since you have a test for inequality in the WHERE clause you're implicitly only including items that are in both tables. This way you include items that are in one table, but not the other, or have the difference in quantity.
select *
from table1 a full outer join table2 b
on a.code = b.code
where a.qty <> b.qty or a.code is null or b.code is null
my lucky guess is that you filtered out rows where code column is null

I have a query and a diag_code is either in one table (UM_SERVICE) or the other (LOS), but I can't join both tables to get diag_code that isn't null, that I can think of. Does this look ok for finding if diag_code is in one of the tables and lookup table? It's possible to have both LOS and UM_SERVICE have a diag code on different rows, and they could be different, and both or one could be in the lookup table. I'm not seeing anything in internet search.
Here's a simplified stored procedure:
SELECT distinct
c.id
,uc.id
,c.person_id
FROM dbo.CASES c
INNER JOIN dbo.UM_CASE uc with (NOLOCK) ON uc.case_id = c.id
LEFT JOIN dbo.UM_SERVICE sv (NOLOCK) ON sv.case_id = omc.case_id
LEFT JOIN dbo.UM_SERVICE_CERT usc on usc.service_id = sv.id
LEFT JOIN dbo.LOS S WITH (NOLOCK) ON S.case_id = UC.case_id
LEFT JOIN dbo.LOS_EXTENSION SC WITH (NOLOCK) ON SC.los_id = S.id
INNER JOIN dbo.PERSON op with (NOLOCK) on op.id = c.Person_id
WHERE
(sv.diag_code is not null and c.case_id = sv.case_id
or
s.diag_code is not null and c.case_id = s.case_id)
and
(sv.diag_code is not null and sv.diag_code in (select diag_code from TABLE_LOOKUP)
or
s.diag_code is not null and s.diag_code in (select diag_code from TABLE_LOOKUP)
Table setups like this:
CASES
id person_id
UM_CASE
case_id
LOS
case_id id
LOS_EXTENSION
los_id
Person
id cid
UM_SERVICE
case_id diag_code
UM_SERVICE_CERT
service_id id
TABLE_LOOKUP
diag_code
Since you have two different searches being run, it is going to be much easier to write/read by writing the searches individually and then bringing your two results sets together using the UNION operator. The UNION will eliminate duplicates across the two result sets in a similar manner to what your usage of SELECT DISTINCT is doing for a single result set.
Like so:
/*first part of union performs seach using filter on dbo.UM_SERVICE*/
SELECT
c.id
,uc.id
,c.person_id
FROM
dbo.CASES AS c
INNER JOIN dbo.UM_CASE AS uc ON uc.case_id=c.id
LEFT JOIN dbo.UM_SERVICE AS sv ON sv.case_id = omc.case_id
LEFT JOIN dbo.UM_SERVICE_CERT AS usc on usc.service_id=sv.id
LEFT JOIN dbo.LOS AS S ON S.case_id = UC.case_id
LEFT JOIN dbo.LOS_EXTENSION AS SC ON SC.los_id= S.id
INNER JOIN dbo.PERSON AS op on op.id=c.Person_id
WHERE
sv.diag_code in (select diag_code from TABLE_LOOKUP) /*will eliminate null values in sv.diag_code*/
UNION /*deduplicate result sets*/
/*second part of union performs search using filter on dbo.LOS*/
SELECT
c.id
,uc.id
,c.person_id
FROM
dbo.CASES AS c
INNER JOIN dbo.UM_CASE AS uc ON uc.case_id=c.id
LEFT JOIN dbo.UM_SERVICE AS sv ON sv.case_id = omc.case_id
LEFT JOIN dbo.UM_SERVICE_CERT AS usc on usc.service_id=sv.id
LEFT JOIN dbo.LOS AS S ON S.case_id = UC.case_id
LEFT JOIN dbo.LOS_EXTENSION AS SC ON SC.los_id= S.id
INNER JOIN dbo.PERSON AS op on op.id=c.Person_id
WHERE
s.diag_code in (select diag_code from TABLE_LOOKUP); /*will eliminate null values in s.diag_code*/
I have difficulty joining two tables that look like the following:
The main table PMEOBJECT which has a unique key named OBJECTID and
has in total 12768 rows.
Then I want to join PMEOBJECTVALIDITY on it which has an n:1 relationship with PMEOBJECT, since it has more rows,
because it saves the changes over time of PMEOBJECT (i.e. when a certain object is not
valid anymore), this one has 12789 rows (meaning only 21 objects
changed over time). However, I only want to have the current last
VALIDFROM date shown in the query. This all works fine.
Then the trouble starts when I want to join PMEOBJECTDIMENSION, which has an
n:1 relationship with PMEOBJECTVALIDITY and has 36737 rows in total.
SELECT
PMEOBJECT.OBJECTID
,PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.VALIDFROM
,PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.DIMENSION2_
FROM PMEOBJECT
LEFT JOIN PMEOBJECTVALIDITY
ON PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.OBJECTID = PMEOBJECT.OBJECTID
AND PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.DATAAREAID = PMEOBJECT.DATAAREAID
INNER JOIN(
SELECT
OBJECTID,
MAX(VALIDFROM) AS NEWFROMDATE,
MAX(VALIDTO) AS NEWTODATE
FROM PMEOBJECTVALIDITY B
GROUP BY OBJECTID
) B
ON PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.OBJECTID = B.OBJECTID
AND PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.VALIDFROM = B.NEWFROMDATE
LEFT JOIN PMEOBJECTDIMENSION
ON PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.OBJECTVALIDITYID = PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.RECID
AND PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.DATAAREAID = PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.DATAAREAID
INNER JOIN(
SELECT
OBJECTVALIDITYID,
MAX(VALIDFROM) AS NEWFROMDATE_2
FROM PMEOBJECTDIMENSION C
GROUP BY OBJECTVALIDITYID
) C
ON PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.OBJECTVALIDITYID = C.OBJECTVALIDITYID
AND PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.VALIDFROM = C.NEWFROMDATE_2
Results in query per step:
SELECT PMEOBJECT: 12768 rows
LEFT JOIN PMEVALIDITY: 12789 rows
INNER JOIN PMEVALIDITY: 12768 rows
LEFT JOIN PMEOBJECTDIMENSION: 36737 rows
INNER JOIN PMEOBJECTDIMENSION: 12729 rows
I want the end result again to have the same 12768 rows, I don't want any ObjectId to be left out.
What am I missing here?
Kind regards,
Igor
Following might help:
from PMEOBJECTDIMENSION onwards:
LEFT JOIN (SELECT PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.OBJECTVALIDITYID, PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.DATAAREAID
FROM PMEOBJECTDIMENSION
INNER JOIN(SELECT OBJECTVALIDITYID, MAX(VALIDFROM) AS NEWFROMDATE_2
FROM PMEOBJECTDIMENSION C
GROUP BY OBJECTVALIDITYID
) C
ON PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.OBJECTVALIDITYID = C.OBJECTVALIDITYID
AND PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.VALIDFROM = C.NEWFROMDATE_2
)X
ON X.OBJECTVALIDITYID = PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.RECID
AND X.DATAAREAID = PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.DATAAREAID
and select the distinct records if duplicates present.
The INNER JOINs are filtering out records- what you want is that the LEFT JOIN table (PMEOBJECTVALIDITY and PMEOBJECTDIMENSION) should only include records that have at least a match on the INNER JOIN queries (alias B and C). You can accomplish this with by nesting the INNER JOIN with the LEFT JOIN, generally done as follows:
SELECT *
FROM A
LEFT JOIN B
INNER JOIN C
ON B.ID = C.BID
ON A.ID = B.AID
Now B is INNER JOINed on C and will only contain records that have a match in C, but will preserve the LEFT JOIN not remove any records from A.
In your case, you can simply move the ON clause from the LEFT JOIN to the end of the following INNER JOIN.
SELECT
PMEOBJECT.OBJECTID
,PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.VALIDFROM
,PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.DIMENSION2_
FROM PMEOBJECT
LEFT JOIN PMEOBJECTVALIDITY
INNER JOIN(
SELECT
OBJECTID,
MAX(VALIDFROM) AS NEWFROMDATE,
MAX(VALIDTO) AS NEWTODATE
FROM PMEOBJECTVALIDITY B
GROUP BY OBJECTID
) B
ON PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.OBJECTID = B.OBJECTID
AND PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.VALIDFROM = B.NEWFROMDATE
ON PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.OBJECTID = PMEOBJECT.OBJECTID
AND PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.DATAAREAID = PMEOBJECT.DATAAREAID --here it is!
LEFT JOIN PMEOBJECTDIMENSION
INNER JOIN(
SELECT
OBJECTVALIDITYID,
MAX(VALIDFROM) AS NEWFROMDATE_2
FROM PMEOBJECTDIMENSION C
GROUP BY OBJECTVALIDITYID
) C
ON PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.OBJECTVALIDITYID = C.OBJECTVALIDITYID
AND PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.VALIDFROM = C.NEWFROMDATE_2
ON PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.OBJECTVALIDITYID = PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.RECID
AND PMEOBJECTDIMENSION.DATAAREAID = PMEOBJECTVALIDITY.DATAAREAID --I'm here
I have a SQL query that looks like this
Select a.*
From table1 a
where a.ColumnName in
(Select MAX(b.ColumnName)
from table2 b
where b.ColumnName2 in
(
Select MAX(c.columnName)
from table3 c
Group by c.ColumnName2
)
Group by b.ColumnName2
)
I am trying to write this in a join statement. I am positive inner join is what I need to get the right information. If someone could translate this to a join statement, I would be really glad.
Thank you.
EDIT 1:
I tried the typical Join statement that a rookie would.
Select a.*
from table1 a
inner join table2 b
on a.columnname = (Select max(b.columnName) from table2)
inner join table3 c
on b.columnName = (select max(c.columnName) from table3)
Obviously, that didn't work because I get 100,000+ results when I should be getting 800. I tried using an alias for table2 and table3 INSIDE the subselect statements and selecting the columnname using THAT alias like this:
Select max(bPart.columnName from table2 bPart)
Select max(cPart.columnName from table3 cPart)
Still the same result.
PERHAPS....
Though I'm not sure why a join is needed. Performance wise exists would likely be fastest, and since you're not returning values from table2 or 3 it seems like it would be the best approach.
SELECT a.*
FROM table1 a
INNER JOIN (SELECT MAX(ColumnName) MColumnName, columnname2
FROM table2
GROUP BY columnName2) B
ON A.columnName = B.mColumnName
INNER JOIN (SELECT MAX(columnName) mColumnName
FROM table3
GROUP BY ColumnName2) C
ON B.columname2 = C.MColumnName
I have 3 Tables:
TableA(IDRem, IDPed, IDOP)
TableB(IDOP, IDPed)
TableC(IDPed, InvoiceDate)
I need a select to JOIN the records of TableA and TableC, but there are two possible conditions:
IF IDPed on TableA IS NOT NULL, then join directly to TableC by IDPed
ID IDPed on TableA IS NULL, then join to TableB by IDOp, and then join TableB to TableC by IDPed
So far i try this:
SELECT
TableA.*
,(CASE WHEN TableC.InvoiceDate IS NULL
THEN TableC2.InvoiceDate
ELSE TableC.InvoiceDate
END) AS InvoiceDate
FROM
TableA
LEFT JOIN TableC on TableA.IDPed = TableC.IDPed
LEFT JOIN TableB on TableB.IDOp = TableA.IDOp
INNER JOIN TableC as TableC2 on TableC2.IDPed = TableB.IDPed
The problem with this is that every field o tableA I want to include in the select I need to do a case...when to determine if the origin is tableA or TableA2.
Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks!
For complex joins you are better served in TSQL using cross apply:
When should I use Cross Apply over Inner Join?
select IDRem, IDPed, IDOP from TableA a
cross apply(
select IDOP, IDPed from TableB binner
where a.IDop = binner.IDop
) b
cross apply(
select IDPed, InvoiceDate cinner
where b.IDPed = cinner.IDPed
) c
where ...
Strictly psuedo-code but should give you a start.
You could try doing both JOINs and use UNION ALL
Edit: As pointed out in the comment by Vladimir Baranov, there's no need to check if a.IdPed IS NULL on the first SELECT since if it is, the JOIN would return no rows.
SELECT
a.*,
c.InvoiceDate
FROM TableA a
INNER JOIN TableC c ON c.IdPed = a.IdPed
UNION ALL
SELECT
a.*,
c.InvoiceDate
FROM TableA a
INNER JOIN TableB b ON b.IdOp = a.IdOP
INNER JOIN TableC c ON c.IdPed = b.IdPed
WHERE a.IdPed IS NULL
I have two query which has successfully inner join
select t1.countResult, t2.sumResult from (
select
count(column) as countResult
from tableA join tableB
on tableA.id = tableB.id
group by name
)t1 inner join (
select
sum(column) as sumResult
from tableA
join tableB
on tableA.id = tableB.id
group by name
)t2
on t1.name= t2.name
The above query will return me the name and the corresponding number of count and the sum. I need to do a comparison between the count and sum. If the count doesnt match the sum, it will return 0, else 1. And so my idea was implementing another outer layer to wrap them up and use CASE WHEN. However, I've failed to apply an outer layer just to wrap them up? This is what I've tried:
select * from(
select t1.countResult, t2.sumResult from (
select
count(column) as countResult
from tableA join tableB
on tableA.id = tableB.id
group by name
)t1 inner join (
select
sum(column) as sumResult
from tableA
join tableB
on tableA.id = tableB.id
group by name
)t2
on t1.name= t2.name
)
Alright the problem can be solved by simply assigning a name to the outer layer.
select * from(
select t1.countResult, t2.sumResult from (
select
count(column) as countResult
from tableA join tableB
on tableA.id = tableB.id
group by name
)t1 inner join (
select
sum(column) as sumResult
from tableA
join tableB
on tableA.id = tableB.id
group by name
)t2
on t1.name= t2.name
) as whatever //SQL Server need a name to wrap
Hope it will help any newbie like me
Ok, so far you have selected everything your first select has generated (kinda useless, but a start for what you want ;) )
SELECT CASE
WHEN countresult=sumresult THEN 'Equal'
ELSE 'Not'
END
FROM ( --your join select --
)
I don't have any sample data to test this so can just go on your code.
Your queries for t1 & t2 look identical - why don't you just do a sum & count in 1 step?
SELECT COUNT(column) AS countResult
,SUM(column) AS sumResult
FROM tableA INNER JOIN tableB
ON tableA.id = tableB.id
GROUP BY name
Also, as you mention you are a newb - read up on Common Table Expressions in SQL Server.
Before SQL 2005 you had to write these convoluted queries within queries within...
Get into the habit of using CTEs now.
