Here is one of the Best Join article link from Code Project, This is totally visual representation of Join in SQL.

This will clear your doubts on joins

What a nightmare...
I'm currently writing pl sql for postgresql. I'm not a qualified DBA and pl sql is quite new to me. I've always rather used plain sql/linq and ADO.NET but for this specific problem it is better(I think) to write a stored procedure. The thing is that I can't seem to get debugging to work in postgresql. I'm running postgres v 8.4.(something). Is there a opensource ide that I can use to compile and debug postgresql stored procedures (Currently running dreamcoder and pgadmin III). I need help and google isn't giving me helpful answers. I have a logical error in my procedure and I can't step throught the code. I'm also using unidirect as my dataprovider in VS 2008 but guess what: No design time support for unidirect. Big up to corelab and my idiot boss for deciding on this so everything has to happen @ runtime(So much for RAD). VS 2008 would have allowed me to generate the SP if this worked...Please help me fellow programming mates. What is there to do
Regards

I'm trying to search some data in a table I don't have control over and I need to figure out how to do an logical and between two specified search items.
I need to find all rows in a table that has the same value in collumn A and column B is equal to X or Y.
The is similar to the following, but it contains more than 600,000 records.
Tablename: data_table | id | record_id | parm_type | value | | 0 | 0 | 1001 | 10 | | 1 | 0 | 1002 | 20 | | 2 | 0 | 1003 | 30 | | 3 | 0 | 1004 | 40 | | 4 | 1 | 1001 | 15 | | 5 | 1 | 1002 | 25 | | 6 | 1 | 1003 | 35 | | 7 | 1 | 1004 | 45 | | 8 | 2 | 1005 | 20 | | 9 | 2 | 1002 | 30 | | 10 | 2 | 1003 | 40 | | 11 | 2 | 1008 | 50 | | 12 | 3 | 1007 | 20 | | 13 | 3 | 1002 | 30 | | 14 | 3 | 1003 | 40 | | 15 | 3 | 1007 | 50 | | 16 | 4 | 1001 | 20 | | 17 | 4 | 1002 | 30 | | 18 | 4 | 1007 | 40 | | 19 | 4 | 1008 | 50 |
I want to get every value with the same record_id, that has a parm_type type of 1002 or 1003 and the value is greater than 20 for type 1002 and less than 40 for 1003.
Here is what I tried but it was taking very long and gets execution timeouts
SELECT id,record_id,parm_type,value FROM data_table
WHERE record_id IN
(
SELECT record_id FROM data_table
WHERE parm_type=1002 AND value > 20
)
AND record_id IN
(
SELECT record_id FROM data_table
WHERE parm_type=1003 AND value > 40
);
I know there have to be others ways to accomplish this, but I'm no DBA...

Couple of ideas,
1 - Create a temporary table. Execute each query separately and insert to temporary table. Finally, select the temporary table. Here is it
CREATE TABLE #temp
(
);
insert into #temp
SELECT record_id FROM data_table WHERE parm_type = 1002 AND value > 20
insert into #temp
SELECT record_id FROM data_table WHERE parm_type=1003 AND value > 40
SELECT * FROM #temp
2 - Use UNION[^]
SELECT record_id FROM data_table WHERE parm_type = 1002 AND value > 20
UNION
SELECT record_id FROM data_table WHERE parm_type=1003 AND value > 40

Navaneeth thank you for your reply.
I think a UNION statment would merge record_id that would match either of the parm_type requirements.
Please correct me if I am wrong!
|
|
|
|
|
SELECT id,record_id,parm_type,value
FROM data_table
WHERE (parm_type=1002 AND value > 20)
OR (parm_type=1003 AND value > 40);

Thank you for the reply i.j.russell
This is acually what I have currently, but this is a logical OR where I'm needing to do a logical AND. I want to a one or more record_id values that contains a "parm_type=1002 AND value > 20" and a "parm_type=1004 AND value > 40."
This makes it a bit harder to search

Maybe I need more clairification (and a better example)
Ok so I want to find everything with the same record ID, that has atleast one match for every parm_type and value spesified.
What has be suggested so far is a "logical" OR and meaning any of the parm_type and value criteria match.
A better example would be one that actually returns data, I apologize for my previous bad example.
SELECT id,record_id,parm_type,value FROM data_table
WHERE record_id IN
(
SELECT record_id FROM data_table
WHERE parm_type=1002 AND value > 20
)
AND record_id IN
(
SELECT record_id FROM data_table
WHERE parm_type=1003 AND value >= 40
);
If I were to run this with the data_table in my previous post I'd expect to be returned would be the following result table:
Result from: data_table| id | record_id | parm_type | value |
|---|
| 8 | 2 | 1005 | 20 | | 9 | 2 | 1002 | 30 | | 10 | 2 | 1003 | 40 | | 11 | 2 | 1008 | 50 | | 12 | 3 | 1007 | 20 | | 13 | 3 | 1002 | 30 | | 14 | 3 | 1003 | 40 | | 15 | 3 | 1007 | 50 |
I hope this could clear things up.

I'm a bit unclear what you're looking for here. What do you mean by "every value with the same record_id"?
The solutions posted by the others will give you a list of record_ids that have entries in the table for either (type = 1002 and value > 20) OR (type = 1003 and value > 40).
The solution that you posted would give you a list of record_ids that have entries in the table for both (type = 1002 and value > 20) AND (type = 1003 and value > 40).
These are not the same thing, so which one are you looking for?
In terms of your original question, this is probably no help since you do not have control over the table, but one obvious question is: is there an index over parm_type? Without an index over this column, the DBMS is going to end up doing a full table scan which will take a long time on a big table (i.e. it will simply look at every row in the table in turn to see if it matches the query).

Is exactly what I'm trying todo, but need a faster method.
I don't really have control over the table, but I can force an index on that column since I can run SQL against the whole table. Maybe it'll speed up if I toss an alter table to add an index to the result_id...
Yes, yes that just might work! David Skelly you're an evil genius.

I added an index to the record_id indicator with an alter table and now my original query returns in 0.58 seconds (db time) instead of ~400 seconds (db time)
Guess this just goes shows me even more how crappy the self proclaimed coder/dba that designed this was, not that I didn't already know he was full of himself by looking at his code

This does not seem to work; I dont know which table the value is in.
USE DB
Go
SELECT *
FROM sys.Tables where fieldid = '%'
GO
I presume I cannot use a conditional clause in that statement?
It will parse but errors out
Regards,
Hulicat

This is what I would use ...
select SO.NAME AS TABLENAME, SC.NAME AS COLNAME
from sysobjects so, syscolumns sc
where so.id = sc.id and sc.name = 'DESCRIPTION'
This query will give you a listing of every table that has a field that is named, 'DESCRIPTION'.
Good luck,
david

Hi, I need help with gridview?
actually the gridview is supposed to show a view(aka join) consisting of two tables .
In my case I have (userid) , (money deposited) as fields in table 1; userid can also be left as null.
I have another table I have first_name, last_name,phone numbers( fields) in table2
I want to display first_ name ,money deposited.
in the gridview.
It has to show all the enteries made in table 1 either it is null or has some userid; if it becomes null , then a space should appear instead of displaying null.
can anyone please guide me how to do this?
thanks

try something like this - I have to assume that userid appears in table3 also, therwise this is no way to join them
select isnull(first_name,' '), [money deposited]
from table1 t1
left outer join table2 t2 on t2.userid = t1.userid

Thanks for your reply.
but i didn't mention like this.
There is any possibilities to check the field as not null that which is to be selected using select query (not in where condition)
