Looking at the output you want, I dont think you need a "full" outer join since you always want to match UserID and SyncTableName. Here's a solution.
I will use a two-step procedure to solve this:
1. Get unique UserID and SyncTableNames (Creating a CTE will be best here)
2. Have a left outer join with the two tables
--create a CTE
With UserTableMods( [UserID], [SyncTableName])
As
(
Select distinct [UserID], [SyncTableName] from [WebSyncTimesMS]
union
Select distinct [UserID], [SyncTableName] from [WebSyncHistory]
)
--Get result
Select UTM.[UserID], UTM.[SyncTableName], H.[SyncTime], M.[LastActionTime]
From UserTableMods UTM
LEFT OUTER JOIN [WebSyncHistory] H ON UTM.USERID=H.USERID and UTM.[SyncTableName]=H.[SyncTableName]
LEFT OUTER JOIN [WebSyncTimesMS] M ON UTM.USERID=M.USERID and UTM.[SyncTableName]=M.[SyncTableName]
And here's the result:
1 Categories 2008-01-01 NULL
1 DeviceSettings NULL 2008-01-01
1 Products 2008-01-01 2008-08-31
2 Categories NULL 2008-01-01
2 DeviceSettings 2008-01-01 2008-08-31
You can use the Grouping and Max functions as per your requirement. Hope that helps.

Hi
I have a column in my database named group. However when I put that column in a stored procedure the word 'group' highlights blue and I cant declare it as a column because I think it means something different for sql.
Any help would be great
thanks

Dear All,
I have a simple query, and I need to change the returned data.
I mean if some row has a value "Bnk", I need to return this value as "BankDep".
Is this possible in SQL 2005?
This is my query:
SELECT INDEX_CODE from TableTest;
The result: INDEX_CODE
Default
Int
Bnk
Inv
I need to display the previous values as
INDEX_CODE
Default123
International
BankDep
Investment
Kind Regards
OBarahmeh

select
case INDEX_CODE
when 'Default' Then 'Default123'
when 'Int' Then 'International'
when 'Bnk' Then 'BankDep'
When 'Inv' Then 'Investment'
END
from TableTest
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you very much,
I did not knot that there is a CASE option in SQL
Thanks a lot
Kind Regards

The first answer will work, but you might want to consider making this a lookup column linked to a table with a descriptive name for your codes - bit more maintainable.

what database are you using.
Look at OPENROWSET, I think that allows you to get at a file using select.

It could be that SQL Server Browser service is not running.

I am taking a class on Databases. As a project assignment I need to write about an 'important database subject (such as query optimization, database design, distributed databases)'. I was hoping someone would be willing to offer some other important database subjects that may not have received much attention. If you have a topic please share, no I am NOT asking anyone to provide any research or writing.
this thing looks like it was written by an epileptic ferret

There's nothing wrong with picking something like database design. You may want to look at database normalization, as well.

Hello, I've googled far and wide and this is one of those rare things I just can't seem to find an answer for. Hopefully it's easy, but this is my first time ever playing with SQL Server CE and the answer eludes me.
All I want to do is reset my AutoIncrement column back to 1 when I clear the table. DBCC CHECKIDENT apparently is not supported in CE and I can't find a way to do it. Can anyone help?
Thanks much.

Try ALTER TABLE command like following:
ALTER TABLE TableName ALTER COLUMN ColumnName IDENTITY(1,1)

That worked brilliantly. Thank you! I should've thought of that from the start.
