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.

Outer join problem-- query help needed

Asked by andrew200 in MS SQL Server

I am working with 3 tables, and I am having trouble getting the exact results that I need. Here is the scenario: I need an SQL statement to get a single result set from 3 tables which we'll call tableA, tableB and tableC. I want every record from tableA to be included regardless of weather or not there is a match in tableB. I also want every row from tableB where there is a match in tableC. (Stick with me on this). Let's say there are exactly 3 rows in tableA; I would expect for every match of tableB to tableC there would be 3 rows returned, so if there where 2 matching records, then I would have 6 rows. Here is the query:

select a.name,
c.id,
value = case when b.pk is not null then 1 else 0 end
from tableA a
left outer join tableB b on a.field1 = b.field1
inner join tableC c on c.id = b.id
where c.subID = 11

here is the result I am getting:

name id value
----------- ------- ---------
John 3 1
Bob 4 1
Pete 4 1

here is the result that I want:

name id value
----------- ------- ---------
John 3 1
Bob 3 0
Pete 3 0
John 4 0
Bob 4 1
Pete 4 1

See? I would like to get Bob and Pete for id 3, and John for id 4 even though there is no match between tableA and tableB. To re-word this, for every row in tableC that has a subID of 11, I that row to join by id to tableB, and for every one of those matches, I want to see each of the 3 rows from tableA (John, Bob and Pete), and weather or not there is a match.

Many thanks
