SQL Server :: Customer Referenced In Multiple Tables Vs Big Join?
Dec 23, 2010
Just looking through database design and wondering what would be the better option. I have customers, who all have orders, pickings, deliveries and invoices. Now an invoice can't exist without a delivery, a delivery can't exist without a picking and a picking can't exist without an order. So I could set the tables up in a linear fashion. e.g.
Customer -> Orders -> Picking -> Delivery -> Invoice
then in Orders, there would be an ID field, with a customerID field and in Picking, there would be an ID field, with an orderID field and in Delivery, there would be an ID field, with pickingID and in Invoice, there would be an deliveryID field. Linking them altogether, again, in a 'linear' fashion.
The problem is if I want to get, say, all the invoices for a specific customer, my query would be something like
[Code]....
My other option would be to have in a customerID column in each of the tables meaning a much easier query
[Code]....

I am trying to create a custom profile provider using multiple sql tables.1. I currently have 3 groups in my profiles (Customer, Employee, Applicant)2. Each group has separate tables for data. Do I need to write one (profile provider) for each group3. As new users are created, do I use the profile provider to store the info, or can I just write the info to the tables, then use the profile select to read and use?4. Anyone have any articles, and tutorials on creating a Custom Profile Provider using Tables that shows how to insert and update into each table?

I'm having trouble doing a left outer join with multiple generic lists tables. I've been researching for hours and there isn't a whole lot out there on this subject and VB (at least what I found).
I have the following Linq query:
Dim DataForGridview = (From s In S1 _
Join c In C1 On c.ID Equals s.ID _
Join v In V1 On v.ID Equals s.ID _
Select New With { _
.dataFieldID = s.ID, _
.dataField1 = s.dataField1, _
.dataField2 = c.dataField2, _
.dataField3 = c.dataField3, _
.dataField4 = c.dataField4, _
.dataField5 = v.dataField5 _
}).ToList()
S1 has a count of 30. V1 has a count of 20. C1 has a count of 10. This query joins the three but ends up with a count of only 10 based on the datakey ID and, of course, only shows those 10 in the gridview.
I would like to show all 30 from S1 in the gridview with blank fields wherever V1 and C1 do not have data. From what I've read I need to do a left outer join. However, all examples I've found are with two datasets.
I've tried multiple times expanding on what I've found by changing it to a group join and also adding the .DefaultIfEmpty() property in the query, but nothing is working.
How can I change the above query to a left outer join with these multiple tables?

LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT SNO, SUM(AMT) AS AMT
FROM TABLE2
GROUP BY SNO
) T2 ON S.SNO = T2.SNO

Suppose I have two tables "t1" and "t2"
t1 :
id FirstName Age
1 Joe 22
2 James 33
3 Bart 28
t2:
id LastName
1 Coymer
2 Manes
I can combine the data from the two tables using an inner join.
1 Joe 22 CoyLap
2 James 33 Manes
The problem though is that the person "Bart" with an Id of 3 is left out because he does not have an entry in the second table.So how can I include Bart in the output in such a way that the output might look like this:
1 Joe 22 CoyLap
2 James 33 Manes
3 Bart null null
Or spaces can instead appear for Barts last name and age instead of null.Basically I just need Bart in the output as well even though he has no age and last name.

I was trying to find out how I can join more than 2 tables using the LINQ-to-SQL syntax. For instance, joining 2 tables in SQL:
SELECT * FROM Table1 AS T1 INNER JOIN Table2 AS T2 ON T1.Key=T2.Column1WHERE T2.Key='17';
can be expressed as:
var Result = from T1 in DbContext.Table1 join T2 in DbContext.Table2 on T1.Key equals T2.ForeignKey where T2.Key=17 select new { T1, T2 };
But how would I join 3 or more tables using LINQ? For example:
SELECT * FROM (Table1 AS T1 INNER JOIN Table2 AS T2 ON T1.Key=T2.Column1) INNER JOIN Table3 AS T3 ON T3.Key=T2.Column2 WHERE T2.Key='37';
I've been searching and experimenting and I cannot seem to find any informraiton on this. One example I found involves putting the result for the frist join into a temp object, and then performing the second join. I'm not sure performance-wise if that's the same as doing a 3-table join directly using a single SQL statement.

I have a scenario, I will pass a StatusID , According to that StatusID , The rows will be fetched from a table[tblEventStatus] and newly fetched row has to fecth the data from another table [tblEvent].
Ex: StatusID - Value I am Passing
Table 1: tblEventStatus - Column:SysID - StatusId - EventID
Table 2: tblEvent - Column:SysID - EventID - EventDesc
I want to use the Linq - I tried like this, But It doesnt work
var query1 = from objtblEventStatus in db.tblEventStatus
where objtblEventStatus.StatusId== StatusId
join objev_events in db.tblEvent on objtblEventStatus.EventID equals
(objev_events == null ? null : objev_events.UID)
select new { Category = objev_events.EventID , Name = objev_events.EventDesc};

Here's my DB structure:
I have three tables.
User, Details, Optional
User has fields: ID, FirstName, LastName
Details has fields: ID, MyDetails1, MyDetails2, User_ID
Optional has fields: ID, MyOptions1, MyOptions2, User_ID
There is a 1 to many relationship with User & Detail (User ID & Detail User_ID)
There is a 1 to many relationship with User & Optional (User ID & Optional User_ID)
With that said, one user can have many details and/or many optionals
Now I'm trying to build a linq query that will say:
"where user id = x, select FirstName, LastName, all MyDetails1 from every record where User_ID == x, all MyOptions1 from every record where User_ID == x"
After the merge I should have one string that lists the distict user & all of their many fields:
FirstName + LastName + (MyDetails1 + MyDetails1 + MyDetails1..etc) + (MyOptions1 + MyOptions1)
Anyone try this before?
I tried this with JOIN but this doesn't do the trick for what I'm looking for.
So if I had 3 MyDetails records associated with ID == 2, I would get three results like:
John Doe MyDetails_X
John Doe MyDetails_Y
John Doe MyDetails_Z

I am new to MVC and am trying to join 2 SQL tables together and return them in a Json. One table is OutreachProgram. The other table is UserInfo. I want to return the rows from the OutreachProgram table that match on CenterID with the UserInfo table.
The code that exists now will pull all rows from the OutreachProgram table. I can't figure out how to add the UserInfo table to the query to make it work.
JsonGrid <OutreachProgram> grid =
new
JsonGrid<OutreachProgram>(db.OutreachProgram,
new
OutreachProgramFilter());
public Array GetItems(IQueryable<OutreachProgram>
source)
{ return (from r
in source.AsEnumerable()
select
new {
ID = r.OutreachProgramID, CenterID = r.CenterID, DateOutreachProvided = r.DateOutreachProvided.ToShortDateString(),
NameOfProvider = r.NameofProvider.ToString(),
}).ToArray();

I need to join some tables to get the matching records. I often have to ask around to see how certain tables could be joined. Is there any way to query the information schema or some thing else to see what columns/values match in certain tables in order to figure out how tables should be joined.

Basically I want to JOIN a table from a MySQL database to a table from a MSSQL database. The reason is because I don't own the MySQL database and I only have SELECT privileges to it. For my ASP.NET application, I need to create two new tables. I have my own MSSQL DB and I have an SA account for it. Is this possible?
This is how I connect to MySQL:

I think the problem here is that I need 2 open database connections for the DataAdapter to use?
