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!

Asked by YZlat in MS SQL Server

I have the following tables:

Machines
_______________
MachineID
MachineName
MachineMACAddr

Adapters
_________
AdapterID
MachineID
AdapterNumber
MACAddr

Machines
_______________________
1      Test1      Test133
2      Test2      Test233
3      Test3      Test333


Adapters
________________________________________________________
AdapterID      MachineID      AdapterNumber      MACAddr
_________________________________________________________
1      1      0            Test245
2      1      1            Test5877
3      1      2            Test111
4      2      0            Test222
5      3      0            Test798
6      3      1            Test5709
7      3      2            Test366


Note that Machines with MachineID 1 and 3 have 3 Adapters each (AdapterNumber 0,1, and 2)
and Machine with MachineID=2 has only one adapter (with AdapterNumber = 0)

I would like to return the following data

SELECT m.MachineName, m.MachineMACAddr, a.MACAddr
FROM Machines m INNER JOIN Adapters a ON m.MachineID=a.MachineID

but only from those machines that have either just one adopter (with AdapterNumber=0) or have more than one adapter (in that case I want to return MACAddr for the record where AdapterNumber=2)

SELECT m.MachineName, m.MachineMACAddr, a.MACAddr
FROM Machines m INNER JOIN Adapters a ON m.MachineID=a.MachineID
WHERE a.AdapterNumber=2

will only return records for the machines that have more than one adapter :

_______________________________________________________________
MachineName      MachineMACAddr            MACAddr
_______________________________________________________________
Test1            Test133                  Test111
Test3            Test333                  Test366

while I want the following data returned:

_______________________________________________________________
MachineName      MachineMACAddr            MACAddr
________________________________________________________________
Test1            Test133                  Test111
Test2            Test233                  Test222
Test3            Test333                  Test366
