I have two tables with "Field Name" columns. Some Table B field names are the same as Table A field names. If that is the case, I want to exclude those from the combobox so I don't have a double (I only want the Table A field name in that case). I also need the ID's (unique to each table) in the combobox.
I can't seem to come up with the right SQL logic. Right now, I'm trying the following
SELECT [fldID], [fldName] FROM OISInfo UNION
(SELECT [ID], [Field Name] FROM FldDef
LEFT JOIN OISInfo ON [Field Name] = [fldName] WHERE [fldName] IS NULL)
but Access keeps telling me that the join expression is not supported (in the bracketed part). The table names are definitely correct.
What am I doing wrong?
Tested.Worked perfectly. Table5 is your table A or maybe OISInfo. Table 6 is your table B (FldDef)
SELECT Table5.ID, Table5.Field1
FROM Table5
UNION
SELECT Table6.ID, Table6.Field1
FROM Table6 LEFT JOIN Table5 ON Table6.[Field1] = Table5.[Field1]
WHERE (((Table5.Field1) Is Null));
Union takes cares of doubles, this is all you have to do
SELECT [fldID], [fldName] FROM OISInfo
UNION
SELECT [ID], [Field Name] FROM FldDef

I need to combined 2 tables with the same ids in it but i can't
SELECT stat.user_id, user.username,
SUM(stat.vertrag) AS vertrag,
SUM(stat.zubehoer) AS zubehoer,
SUM(stat.privat) AS privat,
SUM(stat.service) AS service,
SUM(stat.bs_vertrag) AS bus
FROM statistics stat
join users user on stat.user_id = user.uid
WHERE stat.user_id != '0' AND stat.datum LIKE '%$month%'
GROUP BY stat.user_id
UNION
SELECT bew.user_id, stat.user_id, user.username,
SUM(case when bew.log = 'inv_imei'
THEN
1
ELSE
0
END) AS inv
FROM user_bewegungen bew
JOIN users user ON user.uid = bew.user_id
JOIN statistics stat ON bew.user_id = stat.user_id
WHERE bew.date LIKE '%$month%'
GROUP BY bew.user_id
ORDER BY vertrag DESC
I am dont know how to go now.....
The first select is perfect, and works. now i have add a union because i need to add the row "log". Id's are also in it but i become the error
The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns
Can anyone help?
Each select statement needs to have the same number of columns. Your first one has 7:
SELECT
stat.user_id,
user.username,
SUM(stat.vertrag) AS vertrag,
SUM(stat.zubehoer) AS zubehoer,
SUM(stat.privat) AS privat,
SUM(stat.service) AS service,
SUM(stat.bs_vertrag) AS bus
Your second one has 4:
SELECT
bew.user_id,
stat.user_id,
user.username,
SUM(case when bew.log = 'inv_imei' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS inv
You can select NULL in the second SELECT for those columns that aren't in the first one.
Make the two operands of the UNION isomorphic. Rename columns and/or create NULL-valued dummy columns as necessary to give them the same shape. FOR EXAMPLE, if we wanted to form the UNION of:
SELECT a, b, c
FROM table1
and:
SELECT d, e
FROM table2
we would logically pair those columns that are of the same types (in this case, let's assume that a and e are of the same type, and that b and d are of the same type) and add an extra NULL-valued column as the third projected attribute of the right-hand SELECT, as follows:
SELECT b, a, c
FROM table1
UNION
SELECT d AS b, e AS a, NULL as c
FROM table2
If such an approach seems confusing, you can use table views to simplify the expression. In the preceding example, you could have asserted a view atop table2:
CREATE VIEW t2view( b, a, c )
AS
SELECT d, e, NULL
FROM table2
and then formulated your UNION as:
SELECT b, a, c
FROM table1
UNION
SELECT *
FROM t2view
In UNION, the field numbers should be the same. Use like this:
SELECT stat.user_id, 0, user.username, ....
SELECT bew.user_id, stat.user_id, user.username, ...
or use something else, what you know, that is a missing field there.
The data types should be the same also.
You are using MySQL Union.
UNION is used to combine the result from multiple SELECT statements into a single result set.
The column names from the first SELECT statement are used as the column names for the results returned. Selected columns listed in corresponding positions of each SELECT statement should have the same data type. (For example, the first column selected by the first statement should have the same type as the first column selected by the other statements.)
Reference: MySQL Union
Your first select statement has 7 columns and second statement has 4.
You should have same number of column and also in same order in both statement.
otherwise it shows error or wrong data.
you can see this example
there are two queries both queries have the same number of columns.
column name can be different.
select 'row1' as column1,'row2' as column2
union
select 'row3' as column11,'row4' as column222
if you change columns count, it means in first query you are selecting 2 columns and in second query you are using 3 columns then it will through an error (The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns).
select 'row1' as column1,'row2' as column2
union
select 'row3' as column11,'row4' as column222 ,'rr' as t ;
run both queries you will see differnce.
I have a list of ids, and I want to query a mysql table for ids not present in the table.
e.g.
list_of_ids = [1,2,4]
mysql table
id
1
3
5
6
..
Query should return [2,4] because those are the ids not in the table
since we cant view ur code i can only work on asumption
Try this anyway
SELECT id FROM list_of_ids
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id
FROM table)
I hope this helps
There is a horrible text-based hack:
SELECT
substr(result,2,length(result)-2) AS notmatched
FROM (
SELECT
#set:=replace(#set,concat(',',id,','),',') AS result
FROM (
select #set:=concat(',',
'1,2,4' -- your list here
,',')
) AS setinit,
tablename --Your tablename here
) AS innerview
ORDER BY LENGTH(result)
LIMIT 1;
If you represent your ids as a derived table, then you can do this directly in SQL:
select list.val
from (select 1 as val union all
select 2 union all
select 4
) list left outer join
t
on t.id = list.val
where t.id is null;
SQL doesn't really have a "list" type, so your question is ambiguous. If you mean a comma separated string, then a text hack might work. If you mean a table, then something like this might work. If you are constructing the SQL statement, I would advise you to go down this route, because it should be more efficient.
I have a table with a composite key composed of 2 columns, say Name and ID. I have some service that gets me the keys (name, id combination) of the rows to keep, the rest i need to delete. If it was with only 1 row , I could use
delete from table_name where name not in (list_of_valid_names)
but how do I make the query so that I can say something like
name not in (valid_names) and id not in(valid_ids)
// this wont work since they separately dont identity a unique record or will it?
Use mysql's special "multiple value" in syntax:
delete from table_name
where (name, id) not in (select name, id from some_table where some_condition);
If your list is a literal list, you can still use this approach:
delete from table_name
where (name, id) not in (select 'john', 1 union select 'sally', 2);
Actually, no I retract my comment about needing special juice or being stuck with (AND OR'ing all your options).
Since you have a list of values of what you want to retain, dump that into a temporary table. Then do a delete against the base table for what does not exist in the temporary table (left outer join). I suck at mysql syntax or I'd cobble together your query. Psuedocode is approximate
DELETE
B
FROM
BASE B
LEFT OUTER JOIN
#RETAIN R
ON R.key1 = B.key1
AND R.key2 = B.key
WHERE
R.key1 IS NULL
The NOT EXISTS version:
DELETE
b
FROM
BaseTable b
WHERE
NOT EXISTS
( SELECT
*
FROM
RetainTable r
WHERE
(r.key1, r.key2) = (b.key1, b.key2)
)
I am buidling an app in CakePHP. I have 2 models:
- Project
- User
The Project model has various belongsTo relations to the user model, one for the creator, one for the last editor and one for the manager. This works fine.
Then I add a virtual field to the User model, called 'name', which is CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name). It combines the first name and last name into a general name field, which is used througout the app.
After this, I get SQL errors saying that the first_name column is ambiguous. This is because in the query, the alias for Creator, Manager, etc is not used in the CONCAT field.
Any ideas on how to avoid this?
Showing the exact queries should help resolve this problem. But if you are joining 2 tables, and they both have a column with the same name. you have to reference the column with TableName.ColumnName, like this.
Select Table1.Column1 AS someColumn, Table2.Column1 AS SomeOtherColumn
FROM Table1
INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.ID = Table2.Table1ID
WHERE Table1.ID = 3
You can shorten this up by giving your tables aliases, As follows.
Select T1.Column1 AS someColumn, T2.Column1 AS SomeOtherColumn
FROM Table1 AS T1
INNER JOIN Table2 AS T2
ON T1.ID = T2.Table1ID
WHERE T1.ID = 3
I found the solution: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1632/Virtual-fields-and-model-aliases
Try specifying what table the first_name column is from. Something like this:
CONCAT(table1.first_name,'',table1.last_name)
I am trying to run a query to remove a set of ID's from a table when they are present in a field from another table.
The problem is both ID fields are of type text and the search does not appear to be case sensitive (but I need it to be). (i.e. ABC123 is different than abc123)
I am running a query similar to Select myID from table1 where myID NOT IN (Select otherID from table2)
What modification do I need to make in my Access query to make the results case sensitive when running comparison?
Try this:
SELECT a.*
FROM table1 a LEFT JOIN table2 b
ON a.myID = b.otherID
WHERE StrComp(IIF(IsNull(b.otherID ), a.myID , b.otherID), a.myID, 0) <> 0
OR IsNull(b.otherID)
