Need help to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range.

I am trying to develop a query in MS Access 2010 to join two tables using three joins, one of which is a (between) date range. The tables are contained in Access. The reason
the tables are contained in access because they are imported from different ODBC warehouses and the data is formatted for uniformity. I believe this cannot be developed using MS Visual Query Designer. I think writing a query in SQL would be suiting this project.
ABCPART links to XYZPART. ABCSERIAL links to XYZSERIAL. ABCDATE links to (between) XYZDATE1 and ZYZDATE2.

Thank you for the looking at the post. The actual table names are rather ambiguous. I renamed them so it would make more sense. I will explain more and give the actual names. What I do not have is the actual data in the table. That is something I don't have
on this computer. There are no "Null" fields in either of the tables.
This table has many orders (MSORDER) that need to match one order (GLORDER) in GLORDR. This is based on MSPART joined to GLPART, MSSERIAL joined to GLSERIAL, and MSOPNDATE joined if it falls between GLSTARTDATE and GLENDDATE.

Many thanks,

Thanks for all your reply and suggestions. David altering session did not work.
Sven your idea helped me to figure it out what to do. I found a way around to fix it. Here is my current code -
select a.lic_id, a.lic_number, a.commence_date, a.expiry_date from
TableA a, TableB b
where a.lic_id=b.lic_id
union
select a.lic_id, a.lic_number, a.commence_date, a.expiry_date from
TableA a, TableC c
where a.lic_id=c.lic_id and c.lic_id not in ( select lic_id from TableB)This will exclude any LIC_ID exists in TableB.
Thanks again for your help guys.

Join two table using two link field

hi all
i need to left join two table, and to link two table need to match two field

AND A1.id = A2.id(+)
but it's wrong
please tell me how to left join A1 and A2, thx!

Whats your aim?
Any error message?

Joining two tables using PL/SQL

here i am trying to join two tables can any one tell me what is wrong with this syntex
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test IS
CURSOR c1 IS SELECT seq,fname,lname from t1;
CURSOR c2 IS SELECT seq1,q,a from t2;
userjob number;
BEGIN
     OPEN c1;
insert into t3 values(c1.seq,c1.fname,c1.lname);
     FETCH c1.seq INTO userjob;
FOR c1rec IN c2 LOOP
IF (c1rec.seq=c1.seq and c1rec.q1='why') THEN
insert into t3 values(c1rec.q1,c1rec.a1);
elsif (c1rec.seq=c1.seq and c1rec.q1='what') then
insert into t3 values(c1rec.q2,c1rec.a2);
elsif (c1rec.seq=c1.seq and c1rec.q1='when') then
insert into t3 values(c1rec.q3,c1rec.a3);
elsif (c1rec.seq=c1.seq and c1rec.q1='where') then
insert into t3 values(c1rec.q4,c1rec.a4);
     END IF;
     END LOOP;
     END;
/

You should always fetch a cursor before using it's values. All columns in the select should be fetched into variables or a record-variable. You can't refer to the cursor-columns values with c1.seq etc.
r1 c1%rowtype;
l_found boolean;
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
FETCH c1 INTO r1;
insert into t3 values(r1.seq,r1.fname,r1.lname);
l_found := c1%found;
close c1;
if l_found
then
It is also better to close the cursor and check if the select resulted in a row. With this code you will only retrieve one row even if the select will result in multiple rows.
But I agree with all the others that this can probably be done more efficiently with one SQL statement.

How to Join two tables using the Inner Join

Hi All,
I have two tables i.e table1 and table2 as i have created two otds and my present requirement is to join this two tables and get the results and using this i need to do some logic and update another table3.
can some one help me out how to go for the above req.
Thanks in Advance
Srikanth

The best efficient way to use inner join is create two input otds,use there otd's in create a collaboration usinf etl.
after selecting two input otd's create a inner join statement and map it to out put otd.
while using the etl the performance of the over all integration is increased 20 time of the normal integration.
Hopes this will helps,,
Thanks,

Sai,
It would be very helpful if you could mention your table structures a bit more clearly. Would allow for effective replies from fellow users as well. :)
However, assuming that your structure would be as follows presenting the query as below:
DECLARE @Emp TABLE(Eid Int, ename Varchar(50))
DECLARE @Emp_Mgr TABLE(Eid int, mgrid int null )
INSERT INTO @Emp select 1,'Ram'
INSERT INTO @Emp select 2,'Shyam'
INSERT INTO @Emp_Mgr select 1,NULL
INSERT INTO @Emp_Mgr select 2,1
SELECT * FROM @Emp
SELECT * FROM @Emp_Mgr
Query to print results as EID, ENAME, MGRNAME
SELECT em.eid,e1.ename as ENAME,e2.ename as MGRNAME
FROM @Emp_Mgr em
JOIN @Emp e1 ON em.eid=e1.eid
JOIN @Emp e2 ON em.mgrid=e2.eid
However, as you see this approach of maintaining two tables for preserving the employee-manager data is redundant and makes the queries unnecessarily complex. So, you could opt for the widely used single table format as mentioned by Praveen as well. Check
if this helps you..
Recommended Structure
*Avoidance of redundant storage of data
*Lesser Joins in queries
DECLARE @Emp TABLE(Eid Int , Ename Varchar(50) , mgrid int null )
INSERT INTO @Emp(Eid , ename , mgrid) values(1 , 'Ram' , null) , (2 , 'Shyam' , 1)
SELECT * FROM @Emp
Query to print results as EID, ENAME, MGRNAME
SELECT e.Eid , e.Ename , m.Ename as MgrName
FROM @Emp e
JOIN @Emp m On a.mgrid = b.eid

Find matching records from two tables, useing three key fields, then replace two fields in table1 from table2

I have two tables - table1 and table2 - that have the exact same schema. There are three fields that can be used to compare the data of the two tables, field1, field2, and field3. When there are matching rows in the two tables (table1.field1/2/3 = table2.field1/2/3)
I want to replace table1.field4 with table2.field4 and replace table1.field5 with table2.field5.
I have worked with the query but have come up with goobly goop. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

If your field1, field2, and field3 combinations in these tables are unique, you
can do a join on them.
Select t1.field4, t2.field4 , t1.field5, t2.field5
from table1 t1 inner join table2 t2 on t1.field1 =t2.field1 and t1.field2=t2.field2 AND t1.field3=t2.field3
--You can update your table1 with following code:
Merge table1 t1
using table2 t2 on
on t1.field1 =t2.field1 and t1.field2=t2.field2 AND t3.field3=t2.field3
When matched then
Update Set
t1.field4= t2.field4
,t1.field5 = t2.field5 ;

I have a table A -which has few columns including a Amount column - I am joining this table A to Table B. The joining column in B has duplicates. So, the number of records are getting more after the joining. As per the requirment when I create a table
after joining the tables and count the salary clumn, there is a difference in the counting. How can I solve this? Can you please help me?
Here is the DDL and sample values
create table #student (sid int, name varchar(10),salary int)
create table [#address] (sid int, city varchar(10),grade char(1),lineneumber int)
insert into #student values (1,'sachin',8000)

FROM #STUDENT S
LEFT JOIN #ADDRESS A
ON S.SID=A.SID
SELECT SUM(salary) FROM #FINAL
--44000
Final result should be 18000 , but it is coming as 44000. can you please help me to get the correct result - what do i do in the joining?
In my real project, i have 5 tables joining, each table have more than 30 columns and few joining tables joining column have duplicates. I have simplified the issue so that i can ask the question clearly. So,while answering, please consider that also in mind.
thanks in advance for your help!

SELECT S.SID,NAME,salary,CITY
into #FINAL
FROM #STUDENT S
LEFT JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT sid,city
FROM #Address) A
ON S.SID=A.SIDthis will do a join on student table and city table with unique sid and city name so adddress selection will be sid city1 mumbai2 jarkand

Join two tables into a new one

I have two tables that I would like to save as one. They are related by a key (id).
I've tried this:
- Created empty table_new with the same columns as table1 and table2.
- Then:
SELECT *
INTO table_new
FROM table1
LEFT OUTER JOIN table2
ON table1.id = table2.id;
I get the error "Missing keyword".
If I do just a SELECT with LEFT OUTER JOIN, the result shows exactely what I want to store in the table. But how can I store it?
Any other idea, how to solve the problem is welcome too. Attaching the columns of table2 to table1 would also be a solution.

How to join two tables using UD Connect ?

Hi,
I have 2 tables on which I need to create join & extract the data from Oracle database using UD connect. Is this possible? If yes, please let me know how or suggest an alternative approach.
Thanks,

Thanks Tony for the reply.. Actually, the issue is Netweaver Java dictionary doesn't allow you to create a view, right? Also, I dont want to create a view directly on the database.
I want to handle this on BI side somehow.

Join two table (Inner Join)

how to join two tables using inner join.

Tariq,
Pretty vague question. You can create joins in an ABAP program, or while creating a view, or when creating a SAP query of one type or another. Some people download tables and then join them using desktop software. If you can elaborate your question I may be able to give you a better answer.
I recently joined two wooden tables at a picnic. I used 24 gauge galvanized wire combined with duct tape, so I guess you couldn't really call that an 'inner join'.

How to join two tables

hi
how to join two tables using inner join if the first table has two primary keys and second table has 3 primary keys

Would describe type of joins in ABAP, which might differ with other joins.
The join syntax represents a recursively nestable join expression. A join expression consists of a left-hand and a right- hand side, which are joined either by means of INNER JOIN or LEFT OUTER JOIN. Depending on the type of join, a join expression can be either an inner (INNER) or an outer (LEFT OUTER) join. Every join expression can be enclosed in round brackets. If a join expression is used, the SELECT command circumvents SAP buffering.
On the left-hand side, either a single database table, a view dbtab_left, or a join expression join can be specified. On the right-hand side, a single database table or a view dbtab_right as well as join conditions join_cond can be specified after ON. In this way, a maximum of 24 join expressions that join 25 database tables or views with each other can be specified after FROM.
AS can be used to specify an alternative table name tabalias for each of the specified database table names or for every view. A database table or a view can occur multiple times within a join expression and, in this case, have various alternative names.
The syntax of the join conditions join_cond is the same as that of the sql_cond conditions after the addition WHERE, with the following differences:
At least one comparison must be specified after ON.
Individual comparisons may be joined using AND only.
All comparisons must contain a column in the database table or the view dbtab_right on the right-hand side as an operand.
The following additions not be used: NOT, LIKE, IN.
No sub-queries may be used.
For outer joins, only equality comparisons (=, EQ) are possible.
If an outer join occurs after FROM, the join condition of every join expression must contain at least one comparison between columns on the left-hand and the right-hand side.
In outer joins, all comparisons that contain columns as operands in the database table or the view dbtab_right on the right-hand side must be specified in the corresponding join condition. In the WHERE condition of the same SELECT command, these columns are not allowed as operands.
Resulting set for inner join
The inner join joins the columns of every selected line on the left- hand side with the columns of all lines on the right-hand side that jointly fulfil the join_cond condition. A line in the resulting set is created for every such line on the right-hand side. The content of the column on the left-hand side may be duplicated in this case. If none of the lines on the right-hand side fulfils the join_cond condition, no line is created in the resulting set.
Resulting set for outer join
The outer join basically creates the same resulting set as the inner join, with the difference that at least one line is created in the resulting set for every selected line on the left-hand side, even if no line on the right-hand side fulfils the join_cond condition. The columns on the right-hand side that do not fulfil the join_cond condition are filled with null values.
Note
If the same column name occurs in several database tables in a join expression, they have to be identified in all remaining additions of the SELECT statement by using the column selector ~.
Example
Join the columns carrname, connid, fldate of the database tables scarr, spfli and sflight by means of two inner joins. A list is created of the flights from p_cityfr to p_cityto. Alternative names are used for every table.
PARAMETERS: p_cityfr TYPE spfli-cityfrom,
p_cityto TYPE spfli-cityto.
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
fldate TYPE sflight-fldate,
carrname TYPE scarr-carrname,
connid TYPE spfli-connid,
END OF wa.
DATA itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF wa
WITH UNIQUE KEY fldate carrname connid.
SELECT ccarrname pconnid f~fldate
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
FROM ( ( scarr AS c
INNER JOIN spfli AS p ON pcarrid = ccarrid
AND p~cityfrom = p_cityfr
AND p~cityto = p_cityto )
INNER JOIN sflight AS f ON fcarrid = pcarrid
AND fconnid = pconnid ).
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
WRITE: / wa-fldate, wa-carrname, wa-connid.
ENDLOOP.
Example
Join the columns carrid, carrname and connid of the database tables scarr and spfli using an outer join. The column connid is set to the null value for all flights that do not fly from p_cityfr. This null value is then converted to the appropriate initial value when it is transferred to the assigned data object. The LOOP returns all airlines that do not fly from p_cityfr.
PARAMETERS p_cityfr TYPE spfli-cityfrom.
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
carrid TYPE scarr-carrid,
carrname TYPE scarr-carrname,
connid TYPE spfli-connid,
END OF wa,
itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF wa
WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY carrid.
SELECT scarrid scarrname p~connid
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
FROM scarr AS s
LEFT OUTER JOIN spfli AS p ON scarrid = pcarrid
AND p~cityfrom = p_cityfr.
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
IF wa-connid = '0000'.
WRITE: / wa-carrid, wa-carrname.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
I have two tables: table A and table B.
Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
There is an index on this column in table A.
So I instead of
where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
When I use the join in a select statement it works.
But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
Any ideas why this happens?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.

I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
In SQL*Plus:
SET LINESIZE 130
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.
