I'm using visual studio sql database to inner join 3 tables to one main table.
The main table is Event and the PK_EventsID is linked to the FK_EventsID of the other 3 tables (StudentCompetition, ImmersionTrip, IndustryCollaboration)
I tried using inner join with 2 tables (Event and StudentCompetition) and it works, but when I add another table (Event, StudentCompetition, ImmersionTrip) it does not display anything even though there is an inner join. The column names appear, but the data doesn’t.
Similar column names are startDate, endDate and eventID while the remaining are different. I would also like to know how to group similar column names together
I'm planning to join more then 10 tables together for a search function.
SQL Query
SELECT
Event.eventName,
Event.eventID,
StudentCompetition.competitionName,
ImmersionTrip.immersionName
FROM
Event
INNER JOIN StudentCompetition ON Event.eventID = StudentCompetition.eventID
INNER JOIN ImmersionTrip ON Event.eventID = ImmersionTrip.eventID

I am trying to create a MYSQL query that pulls in data from a range of tables. I have a master bookings table and an invoice table where I am recording invoice id's etc from Stripe.
I am storing two invoices per booking; one a deposit, the second the final balance.
In my admin backend I then display to the admin info on whether the invoice is paid etc so need to pull in data from SQL to show this.
I'm following some previous guidance here What's the best way to join on the same table twice?.
My query is returning data, however when the invoices table is included twice (to give me the deposit and balance invoices) however the column names are identical.
Could someone point me in the right direction? I think I need to somehow rename the columns on the second returned invoice??? Sorry new to anything but basic SQL queries.
This is my SQL
SELECT * FROM bookings
INNER JOIN voyages ON bookings.booking_voyageID = voyages.voyage_id
LEFT JOIN emailautomations ON bookings.booking_reference = emailautomations.automation_bookingRef AND emailautomations.automation_sent != 1
LEFT JOIN invoices ON bookings.booking_stripeDepositInvoice = invoices.invoice_id
LEFT JOIN invoices inv2 ON bookings.booking_stripeBalanceInvoice = inv2.invoice_id
Thanks to #Algef Almocera's answer I have amended my SQL (and stopped being lazy by using SELECT *, was able to trim loads of columns down to not many!)
SELECT
bookings.booking_status,
bookings.booking_reference,
bookings.booking_stripeCustomerReference,
bookings.booking_stripeDepositInvoice,
bookings.booking_stripeBalanceInvoice,
bookings.booking_totalPaid,
bookings.booking_voyageID,
bookings.booking_firstName,
bookings.booking_lastName,
bookings.booking_contractName,
bookings.booking_contractEmail,
voyages.voyage_id,
voyages.voyage_name,
voyages.voyage_startDate,
depositInvoice.invoice_id AS depositInvoice_id,
depositInvoice.invoice_status AS depositInvoice_status,
balanceInvoice.invoice_id AS balanceInvoice_id,
balanceInvoice.invoice_status AS balanceInvoice_status
FROM bookings
INNER JOIN voyages ON bookings.booking_voyageID = voyages.voyage_id
LEFT JOIN emailautomations ON bookings.booking_reference = emailautomations.automation_bookingRef AND emailautomations.automation_sent != 1
LEFT JOIN invoices depositInvoice ON bookings.booking_stripeDepositInvoice = depositInvoice.invoice_id
LEFT JOIN invoices balanceInvoice ON bookings.booking_stripeBalanceInvoice = balanceInvoice.invoice_id
This, sometimes, couldn't be avoided as keywords might actually often be the same but of different purpose per table. To help with that, you can use aliases. for example:
SELECT
invoices.column_name AS invoices_column_name,
transactions.column_name AS transactions_column_name
FROM invoices ...
LEFT JOIN transactions ...
I am using a left join to get data into a single table with one query, I have done this for two different table and am now writing a single query to fetch data into a single one. My query is:
select ec.CUSTOMERDESCRIPTOR as OUTLET,
ollastsyncdatetime.TIMESTMP as LASTSYNCEDDATETIME,
ollastindentdatetime.TIMESTMP as LASTINDENTDATETIME
from (ollastsyncdatetime
left join ollastindentdatetime on ((ollastsyncdatetime.OUTLET = ollastindentdatetime.OUTLET)))
Inner Join ecustomer ec on ollastsyncdatetime.outlet = ec.CUSTOMERIDENTIFIER
group by ollastsyncdatetime.OUTLET
This query is giving me a result like this:
I am able to join two tables but facing issues in joining more than two.
Now I have 2 more tables in my Database from which I have to fetch data and make new columns
the two new tables are
ollastdumpdamagedatetime
ollastindentdatetime
I want a result like this:
If there is no data in table it should show blank because I am populating columns data on the comparison with outlets. Please ignore the actual data in table; they are same because I am using this as an example only.
Use left join for both table
select ec.CUSTOMERDESCRIPTOR as OUTLET,ollastsyncdatetime.TIMESTMP as LASTSYNCEDDATETIME,ollastindentdatetime.TIMESTMP as LASTINDENTDATETIME
from ollastsyncdatetime left join ollastindentdatetime
on ollastsyncdatetime.OUTLET = ollastindentdatetime.OUTLET
left Join ecustomer ec
on ollastsyncdatetime.outlet = ec.CUSTOMERIDENTIFIER
I am trying to make a table that includes join between 3 tables in the MSSS 2008. There is a fact table, a date table, and a course table. I should join them to make a base table. In date table there is a one parameter that name is Academic Year lookup, and the values in this parameter is like 2000/1, 2001/2. This parameter in the base table should separate to three parameter such as CensusYear, StartYear, and ApplicationYear. Therefore, I need the data table multiple times. I executed a inner join query, and already I have four inner join statement, but I am getting some extra years, and I'm losing some years. I believe, my query should be wrong somewhere.
The attached file is include the design view that created in the MS Access, it'll help to see the tables, and understand what I need to create.
[Design View in Ms Access][1]
SELECT
A.[EventCount],
B.[AcademicYearLookup] AS [CensusYear],
C.[AcademicYearLookup] AS [StartYear],
D.[AcademicYearLookup] AS [ApplicationYear],
B.[CurrentWeekComparisonFlag],
B.[AcademicWeekOfYear],
case
when A.[ApplicationCensusSK] = 1 then 'Same Year'
when A.[ApplicationCensusSK] = 2 then 'Next Year'
when A.[ApplicationCensusSK] = 5 then 'Last Year'
ELSE 'Other'
END as [CensusYearDescription],
B.[CurrentAcademicYear],
A.[StudentCodeBK],
A.[ApplicationSequenceNoBK],
A.[CourseSK],
A.[CourseGroupSK],
A.[CourseMoaSK],
A.[CboSK],
A.[CourseTaughtAbroadSK],
A.[ApplicationStatusSK],
A.[ApplicationFeeStatusSK],
A.[DecisionResponseSK],
A.[NationalityCountrySK],
A.[DomicileCountrySK],
A.[TargetRegionSK],
A.[InternationalSponsorSK] INTO dbo.[BaseTable3yrs]
FROM Student.FactApplicationSnapshot A
INNER JOIN Conformed.DimDate AS B ON A.[CensusDateSK] = B.[DateSK]
INNER JOIN Conformed.DimDate AS C ON A.[AcademicYearStartDateSK] = C.[DateSK]
INNER JOIN Conformed.DimDate AS D ON A.[ApplicationDateSK] = D.[DateSK]
INNER JOIN Student.DimCourse ON A.CourseSK = Student.DimCourse.CourseSK
WHERE (((B.CurrentAcademicYear) In (0,-1))
AND ((A.ApplicationCensusSK) In (1,2,5))
AND ((Student.DimCourse.DepartmentShortName)= 'TEACH ED'));
/* the query to check that the result it's correct or not, and I check it by academic week of year, and I found that I am lossing some data, and I have some extra data, means maybe join is wrong*/
select * from [BaseTable3yrs]
where [StudentCodeBK]= '26002423'
AND [ApplicationSequenceNoBK] = '0101'
order by [AcademicWeekOfYear]
When doing recursive joins like this, it's easy to get duplicate records. You could try gathering the Conformed data separately into a table variable and then joining to it. This would also make your query more readable.
You might also try a SELECT DISTINCT on your main query.
I have 3 tables "Employees", "EmployeeLeaveDays" and "EmployeeLeaves".
I'm looking to create a view that displays the date of the leave and the employee name. So in order for my calendar to work I have split everyones leave into individual days(EmployeeLeaveDays) which has an FK that links each day back to (EmployeeLeaves) which has other details around the leave, in EmployeeLeaves I have a column "employee" which is an FK back to employees which contains the name.
So In my view I want to return the name as you can see is 2 tables away, I've wrote this MySQL query but it doesn't work (returns no data), I'm wondering if there is anyway to do what I need to do?
SELECT
EmployeeLeaveDays.id,
EmployeeLeaveDays.employee_leave,
EmployeeLeaveDays.leave_date,
EmployeeLeaveDays.leave_type
FROM EmployeeLeaveDays
INNER JOIN EmployeeLeaves
ON EmployeeLeaveDays.employee_leave=EmployeeLeaves.employee
INNER JOIN Employees
ON EmployeeLeaves.employee=Employees.employee_id;
Hopefully from that you're able to see what I'm trying to achieve, how ever I've attached some screenshots of the table structure.
Thanks
After some thinking I got there in the end. Here's the final query.
SELECT
EmployeeLeaveDays.id,
EmployeeLeaveDays.employee_leave,
EmployeeLeaveDays.leave_date,
EmployeeLeaveDays.leave_type,
EmployeeLeaves.employee,
Employees.employee_id,
Employees.first_name,
Employees.last_name
FROM EmployeeLeaveDays
LEFT JOIN EmployeeLeaves ON EmployeeLeaveDays.employee_leave = EmployeeLeaves.id
LEFT JOIN Employees ON EmployeeLeaves.employee = Employees.id;
I have two tables usersin and usersout(I can not change schema, a lot of system changes must be done in php otherwise). I should get all user records in a query but I should mark them if they are in or out also a user may have an in record and out record I shouldn't show in record if has an out record.
I have created tables with sample data in SQL Fiddle: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!9/ac99a/1/0
Can u help me how can I remove duplicates of user records in this union query?
If you want to have all entries with an entry in either the in or out table, but not in both of them, then a full outer join would be your friend.
Since MySQL does not know that kind of join, you can emulate it with a left outer join and a right outer join combined like so:
SELECT
ui.id, ui.user, 'i'
FROM
usersIN ui
LEFT OUTER JOIN
usersOUT uo ON ui.user = uo.user
WHERE uo.id IS NULL
UNION
SELECT
uo.id, uo.user, 'o'
FROM
usersIN ui
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
usersOUT uo ON ui.user = uo.user
WHERE ui.id IS NULL;
This should give you the right output.
