complex query

  • create table #mgr_tab(sno int,sname varchar(15), sid int,stype char(1))

    create table #veg_tab(sid int, veg_name varchar(20))

    create table #non_veg_tab(sid int, non_veg_name varchar(20))

    insert into #mgr_tab values (1,'edible',10,'N')

    insert into #mgr_tab values (2,'eating',20,'N')

    insert into #mgr_tab values (3,'zebra',30,'V')

    insert into #mgr_tab values (4,'zebra',40,'V')

    insert into #veg_tab values(30,'carrot')

    insert into #veg_tab values(40,'beans')

    insert into #non_veg_tab values(10,'Deer')

    insert into #non_veg_tab values(20,'Mutton')

    based on stype in the mgr_tab table i need to get the values from either veg_tab or non_veg_tab.

    Is it possible in single select statement?

    select sno, sname, item_name,stype

    this item_name can be wither veg or non-veg based on stype...

    any help pls?

  • You can LEFT OUTER JOIN from #mgr_tab to #veg_tab and also LEFT OUTER JOIN from #mgr_tab to #non_veg_tab, both ON the sid for each table.

    Then, within the SELECT statement use CASE to check the value of #mgr_tab to decide whether to use #veg_tab.veg_name or #non_veg_tab.non_veg_name.

  • Hi,,

    Thanks a lot..

    As u said i followed.. but i am facing new problem..

    select case com_owner.owner_type

    when 'Company' then com_header.trade_name

    when 'Person' then per.first_name end

    from hr_company_owner com_owner

    left outer join

    HR_PERSONS per

    on com_owner.owner_id= per.person_id

    left outer join

    hr_company_header com_header

    on com_owner.owner_id=com_header.company_id

    this returns error as follows...

    Msg 457, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Implicit conversion of varchar value to varchar cannot be performed because the collation of the value is unresolved due to a collation conflict.

  • Post the definitions of all three tables. If you have some sample data with that too it would help. That is what made answering your first problem so easy.

  • Here are some alternative methods.

    You could create a View from your #veg_tab and #non_veg_tab tables, that includes an additional column (stype) indicating the original source table of the row ('N' or 'V'), and join to this view on the sid and stype columns.

    If you are not allowed/willing to create a View, you could join to a derived table or a CTE created from your #veg_tab and #non_veg_tab tables.

    SELECT MGR.sno, MGR.sname, FOOD.item_name, FOOD.stype

    FROM #mgr_tab MGR

    JOIN (

    SELECT 'V', sid, veg_name FROM #veg_tab

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'N', sid, non_veg_name FROM #non_veg_tab

    ) FOOD(stype, sid, item_name)

    ON (MGR.sid = FOOD.sid AND MGR.stype = FOOD.stype)

    ;WITH FOOD(stype, sid, item_name) AS (

    SELECT 'V', sid, veg_name FROM #veg_tab

    UNION ALL

    SELECT 'N', sid, non_veg_name FROM #non_veg_tab

    )

    SELECT MGR.sno, MGR.sname, FOOD.item_name, FOOD.stype

    FROM #mgr_tab MGR

    JOIN FOOD ON (MGR.sid = FOOD.sid AND MGR.stype = FOOD.stype)

    Still i am facing same problem as collation conflict comes.. above tables script which i am using for this query....

    When i right click the database and checked the properties .. collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS..... whts going wrong?.. can u suggest me anythg on this pls?

  • it is solved...:-)

    it's the problem of having different collation in column level. i just dropped the table(after taking backup of data). created again.. now it works properly..

    Thanks a lot all of you....
