I have three table a,b,c having id common between them.
Table a:-
id name value
1 a 4
2 v 6
Table b:-
id abc
2 54
3 56
Table c:-
id bcd
1 54
3 34
Now what i want is what ever is id in where condition, data comes from all tables.
Please advice me how to do that.
Expected Result-
if query is
select * from a left join b on a.id=b.id left join c on a.id=c.id where b.id=3
id name value bcd abc
3 NULL NULL 34 56
if query is
select * from a left join b on a.id=b.id left join c on a.id=c.id where a.id=1
id name value bcd abc
3 a 4 54 NULL
What about this approach to the problem? :)
SELECT
z.id,
a.name,
a.value,
c.bcd,
b.abc
FROM
(
SELECT
DISTINCT y.id id
FROM
(
SELECT id FROM a
UNION ALL
SELECT id FROM b
UNION ALL
SELECT id FROM c
) y
) z
LEFT JOIN a ON z.id = a.id
LEFT JOIN b ON z.id = b.id
LEFT JOIN c ON z.id = c.id
where z.id = 3

This way you just need to give the query the number not caring about which tables it exists in.
It's depends on what you are setting in WHERE condition. If you are setting WHERE b.ID = 3 then you need to join other tables with B like this:
SELECT A.ID AS A_ID,A.Name, A.value
,B.Id as B_ID,B.abc
,C.id AS C_ID, c.bcd
FROM b
LEFT JOIN a ON a.id = b.id
LEFT JOIN c ON a.id = c.id
WHERE b.id=3;
This is happens because b.ID = 3 is not in Table A and Table C is joined with Table A.
If you set Table A.ID = 1 then you have to join other tables with A using LEFT JOIN like this:
SELECT A.ID AS A_ID,A.Name, A.value
,B.Id as B_ID,B.abc
,C.id AS C_ID, c.bcd
FROM A
LEFT JOIN B ON a.id = b.id
LEFT JOIN c ON a.id = c.id
WHERE A.id=1;
See this SQLFiddle
This is technically impossible, when you are using ID in where how can you get data in case there Id not present in any of the perticular table, you are changing the logic of where ;).
But what you can do is
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT AID AS ID,NAME,VALUE FROM A
UNION
SELECT BID as ID,NAME,NULL AS VALUE FROM B
UNION
SELECT CID as ID,NAME ,NULL AS VALUE FROM C)
WHERE ID =''
Hope this helps
else please clarify. what you want.

I will try to guess, even though I barely find an explanation to the expected result:
SELECT
b.id,
a.name,
a.value,
c.bcd,
b.abc
FROM
b
INNER JOIN c ON b.id = c.id
LEFT JOIN a ON b.id = a.id

I need to run a query that looks at the contents on 3 linked tables:
Table a = container of the data we have to extract
Table b = parent table, which contains the ids with which tables a and c are related
Table c = table containing data on the condition to be satisfied
Then: b-> b.id-> on a.bid and b.bid
I tried to make the selection like this:
SELECT field_a
FROM a
WHERE field_b IN (SELECT b.id FROM b INNER JOIN c ON b.id = 1 WHERE c.aid = 1)
The query:
(SELECT b.id FROM b INNER JOIN c ON b.id = 1 WHERE c.aid = 1)
returns this result:
Array ([0] => Array ([id] => 1))
Because I can not execute
"SELECT field_a FROM a WHERE field_b IN (SELECT ...)"
If I try to do
"SELECT field_a FROM a WHERE field_b IN (1)"
the query works, but I need to extract it first with select
This should be equivalent to your query:
SELECT field_a
FROM a
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM b
JOIN c ON b.id = 1
WHERE a.field_b = b.id
AND c.aid = 1)
BUT this query:
SELECT 1 FROM b
JOIN c ON b.id = 1
WHERE a.field_b = b.id
AND c.aid = 1
or
SELECT b.id FROM b INNER JOIN c ON b.id = 1 WHERE c.aid = 1
as you have written, is wrong. While it runs and gives correct result, the ON clause is not correct - it has nothing to do with JOIN. You might want to use another EXISTS here, but I am very unsure what are you trying to achieve there...
I want to join 3 tables in something like the following manner:
SELECT a.id
FROM tableA AS a
LEFT JOIN tableB AS b ON a.id = b.id
LEFT JOIN tableC AS c ON a.id = c.id
WHERE
b.name = c.name OR b.name IS NULL OR c.name IS NULL;
I can't be sure, that table b or c will have a row to join, but if both have a row to join, the name column must be identical.
My question is: I want to select this name column, but I only want to select it once. So, if b and c have a row to join, I want the name from either of them, If just one has a row to join, I want the name of that row.
The column name in the result should be in each case identical.
Table examples
tableA
id
----
1
2
3
4
tableB
id | name
----|------
2 | X
3 | Y
tableC
id | name
----|------
2 | Q
3 | Y
4 | Z
desired result:
id | name
----|------
1 | (NULL)
2 | X (name is from tableB)
2 | Q (name is from tableC)
3 | Y (name is from tableB or tableC)
4 | Z (name is from tableC)
I hope this will help you
SELECT
a.id,
(CASE COALESCE(b.`name`, '') WHEN '' THEN c.`name` ELSE b.`name` END) AS name2,
b.`name` AS B,
c.`name` AS C
FROM foo1 AS a
LEFT JOIN foo2 AS b ON (a.id = b.id)
LEFT JOIN foo3 AS c ON (a.id = c.id)
ORDER BY a.id;
SELECT a.id, IFNULL(b.name, c.name)
FROM tableA AS a
LEFT JOIN tableB AS b ON a.id = b.id
LEFT JOIN tableC AS c ON a.id = c.id
WHERE
b.name = c.name OR b.name IS NULL OR c.name IS NULL;
This query should return what you want. IFNULL(X, Y) works by saying if X is null, then use Y. With your example, if b.name is not null, b.name will be shown. If b.name is null, then c.name will be shown. If something is in c.name, then the name will be printed, but if c.name is null NULL will be shown as you desired.
Another possibility, would be best to get rid of LEFT at all, if not necessary.
SELECT a.id, b.name
FROM tableA AS a
LEFT JOIN tableB AS b ON a.id = b.id
UNION
SELECT a.id, c.name
FROM tableA AS a
LEFT JOIN tableC AS c ON a.id = c.id
if you don't want the rows where name is NULL, remove LEFT
I have 2 tables in my SQL database. Let's call them Table A and Table B.
I have joined both the tables using left join on ID = AID. Table A has a field by name ID and Table B has field AID and Price.
The problem is Table B can have multiple prices for the ID present in Table A.
The requirement is - If only one price is present in Table B corresponding to ID in table A then it should return that price.
If more than one price is present in table B for an ID in table A then I should get the price as Zero/null.
Query -
SELECT DISTINCT A.ID,B.Price
from A
left join B
on A.ID = B.AID
where "some condition"
Use Count() with Over() window function to find the count of records for each ID then based on count return the price
Try this way
SELECT DISTINCT A.ID,
case when count(1) over(partition by A.ID) > 1 then NULL else B.Price end
from A
left join B
on A.ID = B.AID
For Mysql
SELECT DISTINCT a.id,
CASE
WHEN c.aid IS NULL THEN NULL
ELSE b.price
END
FROM a
LEFT JOIN b
ON a.id = b.aid
LEFT JOIN (SELECT aid
FROM b
GROUP BY aid
HAVING Count(1) = 1) c
ON a.id = c.aid
For SQL Server (should work for MySQL too). One sub-query (you can put in CTE) that shows only AIDs that have only one price:
SELECT A.ID,
B.Price
FROM A
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT AID
FROM B
GROUP BY AID
HAVING COUNT(Price) = 1
) as C
ON C.AID = A.ID
LEFT JOIN B
ON C.AID = B.AID
Use below query. It should work.
SELECT A.ID, o.Price
FROM A
OUTER APPLY
(
SELECT IIF(COUNT(B.Price)>1,NULL,MAX(B.Price)) AS Price
FROM B
WHERE B.AID = A.ID
) AS o;
So I have two tables like this:
create table A
{
id int;
...
}
create table B
{
id int;
a_id int;
t timestamp;
...
}
A is one-to-many with B
I want to:
SELECT * FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON A.id = B.a_id ???
But I want to return exactly one row for each entry in A which has the B with the newest t field (or null for Bs fields if it has no B entry).
That is rather than returning all A-B pairs, I want to only select the newest one with respect to A (or A-null if no B entry).
Is there some way to express this in SQL? (I'm using MySQL 5.5)
LEFT JOIN is only concerned with ensuring every row in A is returned, even if there is no corresponding joined row in B.
The need for just one row needs another condition. MySQL is limitted in its options, but one could be:
SELECT
*
FROM
A
LEFT JOIN
B
ON B.id = A.id
AND B.t = (SELECT MAX(lookup.t) FROM B AS lookup WHERE lookup.id = A.id)
Another could be...
SELECT
*
FROM
A
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT id, MAX(t) AS t FROM B GROUP BY id
)
AS lookup
ON lookup.id = A.id
LEFT JOIN
B
ON B.id = lookup.id
AND B.t = lookup.t
You could do the following:
SELECT A.*, B.*
FROM
A
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT B.a_id, MAX(t) as t FROM B GROUP BY B.a_id) BMax
ON A.id = BMax.a_id
JOIN B
ON B.a_id = BMax.a_id AND B.t = BMax.t
you first need to get the newest t from tableB in a subquery, then join it with tableA and tableB.
SELECT a.*, c.*
FROM tableA a
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT a_ID, max(t) maxT
FROM tableB
GROUP BY a_ID
) b on a.a_id = b.a_ID
LEFT JOIN tableB c
ON b.a_ID = c.a_ID AND
b.maxT = c.t
try this:
SELECT *
FROM tableA A LEFT JOIN
(select a_id ,max(t) as max_t
from tableB
group by a_id )b
on A.id = b.a_id
and A.t=b.max_t
ok so my problem is that I have a set of results:
ID CODE
1 A
1 B
3 C
I also have another table of:
CODE
A
B
C
What I want to get using SQL is a query of CODES that each result from table 1 is missing. So basically:
ID CODE
1 C
3 A
3 B
Any help would be great.
You can use:
SELECT a.id, b.code
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT id FROM idcodes) a
CROSS JOIN codes b
LEFT JOIN idcodes c ON a.id = c.id AND b.code = c.code
WHERE c.id IS NULL
ORDER BY a.id, b.code
If you have another table that stores unique entries for id, it would be better to just use that table instead rather than a DISTINCT subselect:
SELECT a.id, b.code
FROM ids a
CROSS JOIN codes b
LEFT JOIN idcodes c ON a.id = c.id AND b.code = c.code
WHERE c.id IS NULL
ORDER BY a.id, b.code
SQLFiddle Demo
You can use exists. Construct the full list of possible variations with a Cartesian join and then ensure what you have isn't in this list.
select id, code
from idcode_table x
where not exists ( select 1
from idcode_table a
cross join code_table b
where b.code = x.code
and a.id = x.id )
This can also be re-written with a not in.
select id, code
from idcode_table
where (id, code) not in ( select distinct a.id, b.code
from idcode_table a
cross join code_table b )
The distinct is optional. It will make it slower to construct the list of possibles but quicker to determine if you have one of them already. I'd test it to see which is quicker.
