The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SQL SELECT Statement, JOINS? or UNIONS?

Asked by boris711 in Databases Miscellaneous, SQL Query Syntax, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: VBA (Excel 2003)/ SQL Firebird DB v1.5

Hello Experts,
Below is a SELECT statement I am using from within VBA (Excel 2003) to populate a spreadsheet from a Firebird SQL v1.5 DB. Spreadsheet population works well, BUT...

I have three tables: JOBS, INVOICE, and SHIPMASTER
All tables are linked by the field: JOBNO
Eight fields are being pulled in the order they are needed on the spreadsheet.

JOBS has only one record for each JOBNO
INVOICE and SHIPMASTER may have multiple records for each JOBNO

str_Select = _
"SELECT J.CUSTNAME, J.JOBNO, I.INVUNINO, J.CRETDATE, J.NEEDDATE, I.INVDATE, S.SHIPDATE, J.JOBSTATS FROM JOBS J " & _
"LEFT OUTER JOIN INVOICE I on J.JOBNO = I.JOBNO " & _
"INNER JOIN SHIPMASTER S on I.JOBNO = S.JOBNO " & _
"WHERE J.CRETDATE >= '01.01.2007' " & _
"ORDER BY CRETDATE" & ";"

In the results, I get: (No matter how I arrange the JOINS")
CUSTNAME               JOBNO     INVUNINO  CRETDATE                   NEEDDATE            INVDATE                  SHIPDATE               JOBSTATS
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21641        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      1/26/2007      1/26/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21662        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      1/30/2007      1/26/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21737        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      2/15/2007      1/26/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21641        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      1/26/2007      1/30/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21662        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      1/30/2007      1/30/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21737        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      2/15/2007      1/30/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21641        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      1/26/2007      2/15/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21662        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      1/30/2007      2/15/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21737        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      2/15/2007      2/15/2007      CLOSED

THIS is what the results should look like: (There is One record in JOBS, Three records in INVOICE, and Three records in SHIPMASTER)
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21641        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      1/26/2007      1/27/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21662        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      1/30/2007      1/30/2007      CLOSED
J & C INDUSTRIES      10277      21737        1/4/2007          2/15/2007      2/15/2007      2/15/2007      CLOSED

What is wrong with that SELECT statement? Should I be using a UNION, if so how would I implement that here?

TIA!
