Not sure if you understood the requirement. In the car case the question/query would be: give me all cars that have at least partid('s) x,y,z (in which x,y,z can be also only one specific part or a number of specific parts). Or in the article/word case: give me all articles that have at least the following words in them.

In that case I think your solution should work.
gnjunge wrote: Not sure if you understood the requirement
Obviously I didn't. I think I got confused because in the original example you wrote "select each Car that has both parts 5 and 7". That's why I tried to use all of the parameters with AND.
However, it doesn't matter since the main point is that the query you now have works

Thanks for all the help in brainstorming. The solution works perfect!

I'd probably just use an IN statement because I am lazy and fear of carpal tunnel
Any suggestions, ideas, or 'constructive criticism' are always welcome.

I thought of IN in the first place, but there are two differences if you use it. It's considered as an OR structure so if every part must exists, I think it wouldn't be usable. Also if you use IN directly on the table you would get the same car repeatedly if it has several part's that are defined in in-list.
But that was based my original interpretation on the question which later was found out to be wrong.

 Hi all,
I want to split the ~ symbol from a field.so i wrote a split function ..it is wrking correctly when i give
SELECT * from [dbo].[FN_Split]('1~2','~')
1 and 2 splits correctly..
How to use the split function in a sub query??
st_id contains 1~7
SELECT * from [dbo].[FN_Split](select st_id from st_config ,'~'))
it shows the below Errors:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'select'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near ')'.
pls give me any solution ..

You are missing an opening bracket. And it'll die if you ever get more than one row from st_config.
|
|
|
|
|
We gave The brackets but alos it returns the same error
|
|
|
|
|
This is because of the fact that when you execute "select st_id from st_config", it gives a records set. In that case your function needs to be called for each and every rows which is not happening at present.
So you are getting this error.
Do I thing, use a loop(while) or Cursor and store the "st_id" values in a varchar variable. Next pass the variable to your split fucntion and your job will be done.
But in that case, you will get multiple records(if your original table has many columns).
Else you can do 1 more thing. While you are looping, make a string of all the values from "st_id" and place in a varchar variable.
e.g. st_id
1~2
3~4
5~6
Make it like set newstring = 1~2~3~4~5~6 (where newstring is of varchar type)
Next execute SELECT * from [dbo].[FN_Split](newstring,'~')
Hope this helps

I had two tables, for Table 1 fields are contactId,Str_name and for table 2 contactId,str_phonenumber,Str_phonetype

111 8389368936398 M1
111 3535353535353 M2
111 6326326326262 L1
111 3263262626326 L2

You need to write a procedure for getting your required output

You can join the same table several times. Just use different aliases. Something like:
select table1.contactId,
table1.Str_name,
alias1.str_phonenumber,
alias2.str_phonenumber
from table1,
table2 alias1,
table2 alias2
where alias1.contactId = table1.contactId
and alias2.contactId = table1.contactId
and alias1.Str_phonetype = 'M1'
and alias2.Str_phonetype = 'L1'
Most likely you want to use outer join if there are no matching rows in table2.

What is the query like, could you post it? Also what's the error?
|
|
|
|
|
error was cleared but is not displaying record which str_phonenumber values are null
|
|
|
|
|
I don't see why str_phonenumber would affect since it wasn't part of the join. Without seeing your query, it's quite impossible to say what's wrong with it.
|
|
|
|
|
by this query i am getting records with the phone numbers, but if any one phonenumber is null then that record was not displaying, if the table2 contains no data it should display records like left outer join is it possible to do joins to the above query given by you. could you please help me regarding to this as i was new to this database

Nath wrote: the table2 contains no data it should display records like left outer join is it possible to do joins to the above query given by you
Yes, it's possible. I wrote the query for you so that you can get to start. I'm asking you to post the modified query you have written (the one which has problems) simply because I want to see that you have put effort into this. It doesn't matter if your query isn't working and has problems. The main thing is that you've tried.

select t.str_firstname,t.str_lastname,l.str_phonetype,l.str_phonenumber,
m.str_phonetype,m.str_phonenumber from
trans_contacts t outer join trans_address_phones l,trans_address_phones m
where t.int_contactid=l.int_contactid and t.int_contactid=m.int_contactid and
l.str_phonetype='L1' and m.str_phonetype='M1'
error is incorrect near the join
and I tried with single alias also
select t.str_firstname,t.str_lastname,l.str_phonetype,l.str_phonenumber from
--m.str_phonetype,m.str_phonenumber from
trans_contacts t outer join trans_address_phones l on
t.int_contactid=l.int_contactid where l.str_phonetype='L1'
here is the same problem thats the reason, whether it is possible to work with join, Help me sir

You're on the right track. If you modify the query like the following, do you get right results
select t.str_firstname,
t.str_lastname,
l.str_phonetype,
l.str_phonenumber
from trans_contacts t
left outer join
trans_address_phones l
on ( t.int_contactid = l.int_contactid
and l.str_phonetype = 'L1')
