Add prefix text to select statement - mysql

I am trying to run a select statement on two different servers that have some matching primary keys. I want to be able to select the primary key but add the prefix 'A' to every record
ex:
ID "to this" ID
1 A1
2 A2
3 A3
This is what I have for the query
select 'A' + CAST (a.id AS VARCHAR(25)) as ID,a.*,':', b.*,':',c.*,':', d.*,':', e.*,'REPORTDT', g.*
from labgen.order_ a
join patient b on a.id = b.chart
join insurance c on b.ins1 = c.code
join client d on d.num = a.client1
join salesgrp e on d.salesgroup = e.num
join reportdt g on a.accession = g.accession

Try this in the select statement:
select CONCAT('A', a.id) as ID, a.*,':', //etc
This link will also help.

How to obtain data from sub query that has self join?

my table:
friends(uid_1 int, uid_2 int)
This is my query :
SELECT a.uid_1
, a.uid_2 as a2
, b.uid_1 as b1
, b.uid_2
from friend a
join friend b
on a.uid_1 = b.uid_2;
I want to obtain a2 and b1 from query for other purposes
So this query now:
Select a2,b1
from (SELECT a.uid_1,a.uid_2 as a2,b.uid_1 as b1,b.uid_2
from friend a join
friend b
on a.uid_1=b.uid_2
)
does not work. How do I obtain certain data from a range of displayed data?
Number 1, you are just missing with a Alias name for your sub query as below-
Select a2,b1
from (
SELECT a.uid_1,a.uid_2 as a2,b.uid_1 as b1,b.uid_2
from friend a join
friend b
on a.uid_1=b.uid_2
) A -- added A as a Alias
But number 2, not sure what you are trying to do with the JOIN as your query with implemented JOIN conditions is simply equivalent to below query-
SELECT *
FROM friend
WHERE uid_1 = uid_2
You need table name alias for the subquery eg : Select ... FROM (subquery ) T
then you can refer the subquery content with a fully qualified name
Select T.a2, T.b1
from (SELECT a.uid_1,a.uid_2 as a2, b.uid_1 as b1, b.uid_2 b2
from friend a join
friend b
on a.uid_1=b.uid_2
) T
You were just missing alias
Select a2,b1
from (SELECT a.uid_1,a.uid_2 as a2,b.uid_1 as b1,b.uid_2
from friend a join
friend b
on a.uid_1=b.uid_2
) as temp -- here it is

How to select multiple columns in a select sub-query in MySQL database?

I am trying to get a row of another table as a sub-query of the SELECT query.
SELECT g.ip, g.version, t.testid, t.status, m.rundate, t.runid , (select * from B where runid=t.runid and testid=t.testid)
FROM Tests t, Master m, Env g
WHERE t.runid=m.runid
AND t.runid=g.runid
AND g.version = "1.2.3"
AND t.testid like "%test_name%"
AND g.ip in ("198.18.111.222")
order by m.rundate desc;
How can this be achieved?
Thanks!
Try with this:
SELECT g.ip, g.version, t.testid, t.status, m.rundate, t.runid , c.* from B c
Join Tests t on t.runid =t.testid
join Master m on t.runid=m.runid
join Env g on t.runid=g.runid
WHERE g.version = "1.2.3" AND t.testid like "%test_name%"
AND g.ip in ("198.18.111.222")
order by m.rundate desc;
at line 2 if there is any id in B table which matches with the id in Tests
replace t.runid = t.testid (suppose if you have runid in B table which relates to test table testid then replace with c.runid = t.testid)to the requirement in which the B table and tests table are satisfying the scenario of matching ID's(PK and FK).

Is this sql query correct?

Using table below

How do i display the names of toys that processed by Female Employees who are in level 3, level 4, and level 5 (not level 1 or 2) and a list of all toys’ name with stores’ postcode 10005. Write using union.
SELECT Toy_name
FROM Toy T
INNER JOIN hire_transaction H on T.toy_id = H.toy_id
INNER JOIN Employee E on H.E_id = E.E_id
WHERE E_Sex = ‘F’
AND E_Level between ‘3’ and ‘5’
UNION
SELECT Toy_name, Store_id
FROM Toy T, Store S
WHERE T.Store_ID IN(
SELECT Store_ID
FROM STORE S
WHERE Store_Postcode = ‘10005’);
this is my attempt. am i correct?
SELECT Toy_name
FROM Toy T
INNER JOIN hire_transaction H on T.toy_id = H.toy_id
INNER JOIN Employee E on H.E_id = E.E_id
WHERE E_Sex = 'F'
AND E_Level between 3 and 5
UNION
SELECT Toy_name
FROM Toy T
WHERE T.Store_ID IN(
SELECT Store_ID
FROM STORE S
WHERE Store_Postcode = '10005');
When using unions the distinct selects must have the same number and types of columns.
Removed the unnecessary implicit join in your second query.
You used the wrong quotation marks, inserted the single quotes.

What is wrong with this MySQL query (formatting left join)?

I have a query as follows:
SELECT
staff_names.staff_ID AS sid
staff_names.name AS name,
staff_names.rec_type AS rec_type,
prod_staff.specialized AS specialized,
compspec.name AS compspec_name
FROM staff_names JOIN prod_staff USING (staff_ID)
LEFT JOIN (prod_staff_compspec JOIN company_list USING (comp_ID)) compspec
USING (prod_ID, staff_ID, role_ID)
WHERE prod_staff.role_ID = 2
AND prod_staff.prod_ID = 27
AND prod_staff.asst = 'n'
AND episode IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY name
Running this as-is says there's an error near the 'compspec' alias. Removing that and changing 'compspec' to 'company_list' in the SELECT clause returns no rows, even though it should return 1 with the given values. The left join seems to be the problem, but I don't how it should be formatted.
The prod_staff table has prod_ID, staff_ID and role_ID fields. prod_staff_compspec has these and a comp_ID field. prod_staff may or may not have a matching prod_staff_compspec row, but prod_staff_compspec always has a matching company_list row.
What I want to do is retrieve a list of all staff names associated with a given role_ID and prod_ID in the prod_staff table, as well as a company name from the company_list table, if a link to such exists in the prod_staff_compspec table (only a small minority have one).
Switched to ON to define the table relations. LEFT JOIN (prod_staff_compspec JOIN company_list USING (comp_ID)) compspec is switched to 2 left join.
select a.staff_id sid, a.name, a.rec_type, b.specialized, d.name compspec_name
from staff_names a
join prod_staff b on a.staff_id = b.staff_id
left join prod_staff_compspec c on b.prod_id = c.prod_id and b.staff_id = c.staff_id and b.role_id = c.role_id
left join company_list d on c.comp_id = d.comp_id
where b.role_id = 2 and b.prod_id = 27 and b.asst = 'n' and episode is not null
order by a.name;

Update statement with nested joins not working

I need to update multiple records in a table based upon the sum of some values in another table. Here is my query:
UPDATE aallinnot2 c SET c.Energ_Kcal = ( SELECT d.id1, SUM( c.Energ_Kcal)
FROM aaingred a
LEFT JOIN aaweight b ON a.unit = b.uni
LEFT JOIN aallinnot2 c ON a.mfdfsds = c.NDB_No
LEFT JOIN aalinfsds d ON a.fsdsnum = d.id1
WHERE d.own_id =42
GROUP BY id1 )
WHERE c.NDB_No
IN ( SELECT DISTINCT `fsdsnum`
FROM `aaingred`
WHERE `usernum` LIKE '42'
)
MySQL said:
#1093 - You can't specify target table 'c' for update in FROM clause
Unfortunately, I don't know how to get my values without referencing target table 'c'! Is there a workaround for this?
With the crazy table/column names and indecipherable logic, this might be the ugliest query I have ever seen. Congrats. :)
I think the following should work (or this approach). The main problem was untangling the group-by expression-- you need to give the database engine a dataset where each row in the target table is joined to a set that contains the updated value for that row. So here, select the new values in a sub-query, then join that sub-query to the original table.
EDIT Fixed some syntax
UPDATE
(
SELECT d.id1, SUM (c.Energ_Kcal) AS Sum_Energ_Kcal
FROM aaingred a
LEFT JOIN aaweight b ON a.unit = b.uni
LEFT JOIN aallinnot2 c ON a.mfdfsds = c.NDB_No
LEFT JOIN aalinfsds d ON a.fsdsnum = d.id1
WHERE d.own_id =42
GROUP BY id1
) d
,aaingred a, aallinnot2 d
SET Energ_Kcal = d.Sum_Energ_Kcal
WHERE d.id1 = a.fsdsnum
AND a.mfdfsds = aallinnot2.NDB_No
AND c.NDB_No IN (
SELECT DISTINCT `fsdsnum`
FROM `aaingred`
WHERE `usernum` LIKE '42'
);
I'm not sure about mysql, but with SQL Server the statement would be something like this:
UPDATE aallinnot2
SET Energ_Kcal = (
SELECT SUM( c.Energ_Kcal)
FROM aaingred a
LEFT JOIN aaweight b ON a.unit = b.uni
LEFT JOIN aallinnot2 c ON a.mfdfsds = c.NDB_No
LEFT JOIN aalinfsds d ON a.fsdsnum = d.id1
WHERE d.own_id =42)
WHERE c.NDB_No
IN ( SELECT DISTINCT `fsdsnum`
FROM `aaingred`
WHERE `usernum` LIKE '42')
You can't alias the table to be updated in the UPDATE clause, but you can in the FROM clause.
