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!

ASP JOIN displaying data

Asked by emzi19 in Active Server Pages (ASP)

let me post the problem again to see if we can make more sense of it... right...

i am making a vehicle parts catalogue

3 tables - vindex - which lists all the parts in the catalogue.
parttable - which lists all the parts
and vehiclepart that lists all the parts that fit the vehicles (so this links the 2 tables together)
now each part is assigned a category e.g. abs123 is an abs sensor, as343 is a catalytic converter
i have created an sql statement and its fine when i lookup vehicles that have those parts assigned to them - but if i change the category then some vehicles do not display

SQL Statement
[CODE]SQL= "SELECT vindex.VehID, vindex.Make, vindex.Model, vindex.Mark, vindex.Litre, vindex.InModelSort, vindex.SubModel, vindex.Ident, vindex.Fuel, vindex.Body, vindex.Drive, vindex.EngNo, vindex.cc, vindex.Valves, vindex.bhp, vindex.PS, vindex.kW, vindex.Cam, vindex.Cyl, vindex.FrmM, vindex.FrmY, vindex.ToM, vindex.ToY, vindex.CarParc, vindex.Petrol, vindex.Internalnotes, vindex.CreateDate, vindex.CreatedBy, vindex.UpdatedDate, vindex.UpdatedBy, vehiclepart.partno, vehiclepart.PartComments, vehiclepart.VehicleComments, vehiclepart.Internalnotes, vehiclepart.LinkDate, vehiclepart.LinkCreatedBy, vehiclepart.Altfrmm, vehiclepart.Altfrmy, vehiclepart.Alttom, vehiclepart.Alttoy, vehiclepart.Publish, vehiclepart.Partsort, parttable.shortdesc, parttable.partnotes, parttable.Category FROM parttable
RIGHT JOIN (vindex LEFT JOIN vehiclepart ON vindex.VehID = vehiclepart.VehID) ON parttable.Partno = vehiclepart.partno WHERE (((vindex.Make)='" & vmake & "') AND ((vindex.Model)='" & vmodel &"') AND ((vindex.Litre)='" & vlitre &"') AND ((parttable.Category)='" & vapplication & "')) OR (((vindex.Make)='" & vmake & "') AND ((vindex.Model)='" & vmodel &"') AND ((vindex.Litre)='" & vlitre & "') AND ((parttable.Category) Is Null))ORDER BY vindex.InModelSort, vehiclepart.Partsort"[/CODE]

This is what the results turn out like when i select catalytic converters
[IMG]http://www.r103.info/temp/screenshotB.jpg[/IMG]

But if i select another category then the RS2 model does not display, this is because, if we remove the where conditions of the SQL statment the data looks something like this.

e.g. (not all fields - just using this as an example)

id make model part category
6674 audi 80
6674 audi 80 rs2 TEST1 Catalytic Converters
6674 audi 80 rs2 TEST2 Catalytic Converters
6674 audi 80 rs2 TEST3 Catalytic Converters

But if the category doesnt match i.e. if we are looking up abs sensors, and we see here the list of converters, i still need it to display the rs2 model without any parts assigned.

and the code....
