Problem in joining 2 tables - Database Discussion Boards

I knew 3 and milliseconds came into, just couldn't remember where. I knew about datetime2 in 2008, but didn't realise so much time had been spent deciding on a name Big Grin | :-D

I have a small problem. I need to convert some rows into columns. Look at the following information.

Original Table:
Ind Sub String
0 1 22
0 2 21
0 3 5.6
0 4 John Rogers
1 1 12
1 2 76
1 3 99.3
1 4 Sarah Peters

Converted to:
Ind val1 val2 val3 val4
0 22 21 5.6 John Rogers
1 12 76 99.3 Sarah Peters

This is similar to a pivot, except that I am not count, averaging, counting, or any other agregating methods. Is there a simple query that will convert this or is this going to be a cursor issue?

Use Max(stringvalue) for your aggregate function (you are after all aggregating 1 value), you can see an example here[^]

Hi is there any tools like sql profiler to capture pl/sql commands for oracle ?
thanks

Try this[^].

Hey am creating a receipt,
i want when the user enter 100 when i query this amount i want the query retrieves 100 and the character hundred.
Another example if the amount was 500250
I want the sql to retrieve Five Hundered Thousand and two hundred fifty

PS i want it to accept deciamls could sql provide this functionality if not how could I???

Here are a couple of links doing something like this.

Hi
I have 2 tables Table1 and Table2 as below

Table1 Table2
col1 col2 col1 col21 col31 col22 col32
1 xx 1 A 0 AA null
2 yy 1 B 0 BB null
3 zz 1 C 0 CC null
1 0 X null XX
1 0 Y null YY

now on joining 2 tables, i want the output as below

Table1.Col1 Table1.col2 Table2.col21 Table2.col31 Table2.col22 Table2.col32
1 xx A X AA XX
1 XX B Y BB YY
1 XX C null CC null

Am not sure whether join is to be used or what? Is there any way i can get the output like this. Table2 will have many other rows takking the col1 of Table1 as primary key.

I can't understand your question,where are separated data of Table1 and Table2?

I Love T-SQL
"Don't torture yourself,let the life to do it for you."
If my post helps you kindly save my time by voting my post.

The first table Table1 has a primary key and the foreign key is the column in the second table Table2

Now table 2 has the data like this

foreignkey col1 col2 col3 col4
1 naina 1 null null
1 karri 2 null null
1 xxxxx 3 null null
1 null null aaaa 1
1 null null bbbb 2

now i need the output to be like this

primarykey col1 col2 col3 col4
1 naina 1 aaaa 1
1 karri 2 bbbb 2

1 xxxxx 3 null null

it means that the first columns with null data should be replaced with the last columns with data for that particular primary key value

Regards
Naina

What you posted as a table is not aligned well. A Join can be done this way

Table1

ID    Name         ID_Number
==============================
1     Vuyiswa      810945212121
2     nainakarri   817454212121

Table2

ID    Name         ID_Number       Date_Added
=============================================
1     Vuyiswa      810945212121    2009-09-09
2     nainakarri   867454212121    2009-09-10
2     James        847454212121    2009-09-11
2     Daniel       837454212121    2009-09-12

Now to run a Join for this two tables you do something like this

SELECT * FROM TABLE1 T1
INNER JOIN  TABLE2 T2
ON T1.ID_NUMBER = T2.ID_NUMBER

as you can see i have used a "*" that means you have to select what ever columns you want.

Hope this Helps

If table2 has a primary key of col1 of table1 what is that column called in table2, is it col21? If so, then this should do it:

select Table1.Col1, Table1.col2, Table2.col21, Table2.col31, Table2.col22, Table2.col32
from Table1 inner join Table2 on Table1.Col1 = Table2.Col21

You should really read up on joins though, this[^] explains them nicely.

ok den tel me steps..

the problem is :

WHERE ( Reporting_To = PEAP_SelectEmpAppraiser.AppraiserID) and
nvl( Appraiser , '') = '' and emp_code not in
( select EmployeeID collate database_default from PEAP_SelectEmployeesByApr);

here After the employeeid from keyword is missing its saying...

here 'collate database_default' is there in between of employeeid and from keyword..

the SQL query is working with this..

but i doubt is there any specific format to be used for 'collate database_default'?

but why we need "collate database_default " here ?
