Sql Server - Join Tables Based On A Column Without Creating Records For Every Combination
Mar 20, 2012
I have two tables as follows:
Customer | Product
------------------
A | Car
A | Bike
A | Boat
[Code].....
If I use a normal JOIN then I get a list of friends for every separate product. I just want the two lists once.
The output lists with '-' need not be table cells, they can be <ul>s.
How can I achieve this? I would like to bind to ASP.net GridView. Should I try to do it all in one query, or use multiple queries and somehow add them both to the same Grid?
Each row actually forms part of a long report. Essentially each row of the report contains Customer ID, a bunch of other fields which match one-to-one with Customer ID, then the two lists for each Customer ID I described. Perhaps I can use a separate query for each list, then manually add each list to the grid on RowDataBound or similar?
customers phonenumbers customers_has_phonenumbers customers -> detailed customers.customer_id int(11) primary auto_increment [Code] ..... How to get the data by customers.customer_id from phonenumbers?
I have two tables Employees and CafeLogs. Some employees can be cashiers and also customers at the Cafe shop.
Table structures:
Employees: EmployeeId(PK) , FirstName, LastName CafeLogs: LogId (PK), CashierId, EmployeeId, Value, => CashierId and EmployeeId are the data from column EmployeeId of Empoyee table
Table relationship:
Employees 1:N CafeLogs (CashierId (FK))
[code]....
Right now I know how to select only LogId, Employee's name, and , Value, not with Cashier name yet.
Dim query = From log In db.CafeLogs _ Join emp In db.Employees On emp.EmployeeId Equals log.EmployeeId _ Select log.LogId, emp.FirsName, emp.LastName, log.Value
I have a query that I have to run that requires me to get rows from a table based on the value of a field in another table (which I have gotten earlier). I currently have it done like this (simplified).
Iwant to join two tables,'Employee' and 'Dispatch'. Dispatch has column 'DispatcherID' and 'TechnicianID' which are both foregn keys to EmployeeID in Employee table.I want to join these two tables using EmployeeID so that i can obtain the matching name to each id.but it only works when i make a single join to either DispatcherID or TechnicianID and not for both.
[code]
select Employee.firstname+' '+Employee,secondname as Technician,Employee.firstname+' '+Employee.secondname as Dispatcher from Dispatch inner join Employee on Dispatch.TechnicianID=Employee.EmployeeID inner join Employee on
I have about 4 different tables with the exact same column names. What I would like to do is select the top 4 records out of all of these tables combined ordered by date (as date is one of the columns that they all share).
In my datagridview I was fill in using join tables (table1 = pr_employees, table2 = pr_employee_deduction). My problem now is during save button I want to update records from table2 only.[code]
Currently working on a project to automate the input based on the Summary file (xls format)
1. I want to be able to do the following: update, append, delete and populate the records to the various files based on two distinct fields, column A & F (see attached file).
2. Researched the process, requires knowing VB codes, are you familiar with this language? If so, how can I simplify the process? Please advise.
I've been using Java for a number of years, and now I'm at the beginning again with VB.NET.How would I go about joining two tables?- order doesn't matter, as long as i can print/display the order Here's an example of what I'd like to do:
table 1 data 1 , data 2 , date time 12 , 23 , 2010/8/20 10:00:00
how to join 3 tables, I have the following statement but I'm getting a missing a (syntax error "operator error")
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT [S].[Scheduled Vege], [V].[Description], [DS].[Task], [DS].[Task Date], [DS].[Completed] FROM [Scheduled] AS S INNER JOIN [Date Schedules] AS DS ON [S].[SchedID] = [DS].[SchedID]
I am working on a Visual Basic 2008 program using an Access 2000 database. My SQL codereturns no records, but I know the table has a record. A simplified example of the code looks like this:
SELECT Table1.Field1, Table1.Field2, Table1.Field3, Table1.Field4, Table2. Field1, Table2.Field2 FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field1 AND Table1.Field2 = Table2.Field2 WHERE Table1.Field1=@Field1 AND Table1.Field2=@Field2;
In fact i want to list in grid the table A with a column which contains a checkbox and is checked if the item is include in table B (field TableA_Id_A).
Let's say I have Plans and Documents Dim myPlans = _context.Plans.Where(predicate1) Dim myDocuments = _context.Documents.Where(predicate2)
I have structured the where clause for each using PredicateBuilder. So, myPlans and myDocuments have a correct SQL statement. What I'd like to do is join these two tables into one linq statement. The problem I'm having is that, by default the AND condition is joining the where clauses.
myPlans Where clause : (p.name like "%test%" AND p.name like "%bed%") OR (p.description like "%test%" AND p.description like "%bed%") myDocuments Where clause : (d.name like "%test%" AND d.name like "%bed%") OR (d.description like "%test%" AND d.description like "%bed%")
When I combine the two the desired result Where clause is: Where (d.ID = p.ID) AND (myplans where clause above) OR (mydocument where clause above). Meaning, I'd like the two where clauses in each of the tables to be "or" instead of "And".
The current result where clause is: Where (d.ID = p.ID) AND (myplans where clause above) AND (mydocument where clause above). Meaning, I'd like the two where clauses in each of the tables to be "or" instead of "And".
I'm forming the statement like this: Dim test = From d in myDocuments _ Join p in MyPlans on d.ID Equals p.ID _ Select d.Name, p.Name
I have this piece of code wich works perfectly when inserting records into one table using records from another table. My question is that now i need to create another table by using records from 3 other tables (tables are related). Can i use aliases on the column names, like on Oracle SqlPlus? How will be the syntax of the 'INSERT INTO SQL statement?
Dim MyConn As ADODB.Connection Dim MyRecSet As ADODB.Recordset Dim tmpSQL As String MyConn = New ADODB.Connection
I have two tables 1) tblRequests and 2.) tblMainTags. The Fields in tblRequests are Tag_Request_No, Employee_ID , Accepted, Accepted_Date, and Accepted_Time. The Fields in tblMaintags are Tag_Request_No, Tag_ID, Completed, ... The fields 'Accepted' and 'Completed' are set to YES/NO.
Dim queryX = From m In db.Master Where m.Field = value Group Join d In db.Detail On m.Id Equals d.MasterId Into Group Where d.Field = value
In English, I want to join the master and detail tables, specifying conditions on each. But this causes the following compiler error:
"Name 'd' is either not declared or not in the current scope."
It works if I put this same condition in functional form:
Group Join d In db.Detail.Where(Function(x) x.Field = value)
but I think this is more typing, harder to understand, and introduces that irritating dummy variable. I really would prefer to use the query comprehension syntax. Is there a way to accomplish this?
I have a problem i need to join two table from different sql servers and as a test i have tried to get data from two table but i realizethe adapter can have only one connection statement as argument how do i get records from two table from diffrent database
Please see my code Dim adapter As SqlDataAdapter Dim ds As New DataSet
How to Query multiple tables in a dataset to form single consolidated table without using any external database. I know this can be done using 'JOIN' in SQl.
Now my condition is I have multiple tables filled with data in a dataset and each table is interrelated with a common 'column'. For example ,
Table 1 ID Name 1
[Code].....
Here I mentioned only two tables but in my case there are many tables. I need a generic answer for this dynamic query .
Basically what I'm having to do is create a program that takes a list of CaseIDs and compares them to a table on a remote SQL server. However, the table holding the CaseIDs on the remote server has nearly 120,000 records.
Currently my plan is to query all records on the remote server, save the query and the current list to tables in an Access DB file and then run an outer join to see which CaseIDs have no matching records on the remote server.
I believe this will be a much slower process than I would like. If I could load both queries into arrays or lists in VB and then compare them (therefore, not having to write 120,000 records to a DB file), it would be much faster.
How to JOIN tables on nullable columns? I have following LINQ-query, RMA.fiCharge can be NULL: Dim query = From charge In Services.dsERP.ERP_Charge _ Join rma In Services.dsRMA.RMA _ On charge.idCharge Equals rma.fiCharge _ Where rma.IMEI = imei Select charge.idCharge
I get a "Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid" in query.ToArray(): Dim filter = _ String.Format(Services.dsERP.ERP_Charge.idChargeColumn.ColumnName & " IN({0})", String.Join(",", query.ToArray)) So I could append a WHERE RMA.fiCharge IS NOT NULL in the query. But how to do that in LINQ or is there another option?
The problem was that the DataSet does not support Nullable-Types but generates an InvalidCastException if you query any NULL-Values on an integer-column. The modified LINQ-query from dahlbyk works with little modification. The DataSet generates a boolean-property for every column with AllowDbNull=True, in this case IsfiChargeNull.
Dim query = From charge In Services.dsERP.ERP_Charge _ Join rma In (From rma In Services.dsRMA.RMA _ Where Not rma.IsfiChargeNull Select rma) On charge.idCharge Equals rma.fiCharge _ Where rma.IMEI = imei Select charge.idCharge
