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!

How to search parent and child tables

Asked by billelev in SQL Query Syntax, Databases Miscellaneous, Outlook Groupware Software

Tags: sql, MS Access

I have an Access database that contains a number of related tables based around a chart object.  I want to find charts that contain particular strings/parts of strings.

The tables, in hierarchical order, are:

tblChart
tblSeries
tblSeriesData
tblData

So a chart (tblChart) can have one or more series (tblSeries), each series has data that is displayed in particular ways (tblSeriesData), and that data exists in a particular location with a particular name (tblData).

Each of these tables have multiple fields that could be searched for a string.

I want to know how to be able to search multiple fields in multiple related tables, but ultimately just return distinct Chart IDs matching the searched string?

The only way I can see how to do this is to search each field, from each table, individually, then from these results find the identifies that will lead me to the chart identifier.  I could then combine the chart identifiers to return a distinct set of chart IDs.  This would require lots of looping.  I'm just wondering if there is a simpler/more elegant way to do this.

Any help greatly appreciated.
