asked on SQL SUBQUERY SYNTAX ISSUE
First off happy holidays to you all and I hope if anyone else is working this weekend like me everything is going smoothly. so here is this situation. I have two separate queries I am trying to merge into a sub-query however I can’t seem to get it to work properly and I know it is a simple syntax issue that someone with more skills can identify.
Here are the 2 queries:
QUERY 1
SELECT YEAR(araclstdte) AS YEAR,
MONTH(araclstdte) AS MONTH,
SUM(AFACINIAMT) AS TOTAL_PLACED
FROM SQLUser.STFIELDAUD STF,
SQLUser.ARRELATIONSHIP ARR,
SQLUser.ARACCOUNT ARA,
SQLUser.AFACCOUNT AFA
WHERE STF.STAUDKEY=ARR.ARRELID
AND ARA.ARACID=ARR.ARRELACID
AND AFA.AFACKEY=ARR.ARRELAFID
AND ARR.ARRELCLTID = 'LATX1'
AND STF.STAUDFLDNAME = 'ARRELSTATUSID'
AND STF.STAUDFLDEXTNEW like 'BAD%'
AND STF.STAUDFLDEXTOLD like 'NEWACCT'
GROUP BY YEAR(araclstdte), MONTH(araclstdte)
ORDER BY YEAR(araclstdte), MONTH(araclstdte)
Which returns:
YEAR MONTH TOTAL_PLACED
2012 8 3101542.03
2012 9 285786.43
2012 10 1224473.49
2012 11 327823.32
2012 12 315477.44
QUERY 2
SELECT YEAR(araclstdte) AS YEAR,
MONTH(araclstdte) AS MONTH,
SUM(AFACINIAMT) AS TOTAL_LOCATED
FROM SQLUser.STFIELDAUD STF,
SQLUser.ARRELATIONSHIP ARR,
SQLUser.ARACCOUNT ARA,
SQLUser.AFACCOUNT AFA
WHERE STF.STAUDKEY=ARR.ARRELID
AND ARA.ARACID=ARR.ARRELACID
AND AFA.AFACKEY=ARR.ARRELAFID
AND ARR.ARRELCLTID = 'LATX1'
AND STF.STAUDFLDNAME = 'ARRELSTATUSID'
AND STF.STAUDFLDEXTNEW NOT like 'BAD%'
AND STF.STAUDFLDEXTOLD like 'BAD%'
AND ARR.ARRELPHASE = 'REGULAR'
GROUP BY YEAR(araclstdte), MONTH(araclstdte)
ORDER BY YEAR(araclstdte), MONTH(araclstdte)
WHICH RETURNS:

2012 8 2905070.72

2012 10 462872.94
2012 11 77451.27
2012 12 22331.84
Both return the values expected. The problem I have is when I try to nest (sub-query) the 2nd query into the first with this query:
SELECT YEAR(araclstdte) AS YEAR,
MONTH(araclstdte) AS MONTH,
SUM(AFACINIAMT) AS TOTAL_PLACED,

GROUP BY YEAR(araclstdte), MONTH(araclstdte)
ORDER BY YEAR(araclstdte), MONTH(araclstdte)
I get the following which is incorrect:
YEAR MONTH TOTAL_PLACED TOTAL_LOCATED
2012 8 3101542.03 3669947.58
2012 9 285786.43 3669947.58

I would rather do a JOIN of the 2 subquerys...
SELECT q1.YEAR, q1.MONTH, q1.TOTAL_PLACED, q2.TOTAL_LOCATED
FROM ( <yourquery1 ) q1
JOIN ( <yourquery2) q2
ON q1.YEAR = q2.YEAR
AND q1.MONTH = q2.MONTH
A join is dependant on relationship between the two tables, whereas a UNION ALL allows completely distinct queries to be independent of each other.
ASKER
Just because I forgot to mention I am running these queries from AQT on a Cache database via ODBC. That said 'angelIII' would your solution still be suitable?

@jmdl1983 - I think you are definitley pointing me in the right direction. I tried union when I first started working on this and then had someone point me towards subqueries. I have just tried a few variations and remembered the individual queries with unions must contain the final count of columns so I tried this and no luck. I'm sure I'm close... Thoughts?

if I remove:
GROUP BY YEAR(araclstdte), MONTH(araclstdte)
ORDER BY YEAR(araclstdte), MONTH(araclstdte)
I of course get the details I need but not the summary. This is the bigger reason I pushed to subquerry so I could apply the grouping one time. If I try to apply in both "legs" (for lack of a better term) of the union query I get an error SQL ERROR #25: Input (UNION) encountered after end of query

I think SQL join should definatly work for you....
please refer below link might helps you....
http://www.sqlnewsgroups.net/sqlserver/t11142-urgent-slow-join-across-sql-linked-server-intersystems-cache.aspx
if you still wants to follow unian all option i think you should try pivot table option....

The only issue with join like I was saying above is this is not a SQL database, I am using ODBC to query an Intersystem's Cache DB. That said I can't join queries as tables like you can with SQL server or Microsoft Access. If I could use Access I would but one of the tables I am using in this query has 40 keys (That's the whole purpose of that table to be the center relationship for this DB) and that is beyond the maximum keys Acess allows per table.

Can you use CASE expressions in your SQL?

Took too long testing and typing :-(
Out of curiosity, do the two queries ScottPletcher's and mine return the same results?
Out of curiosity, do the two queries ScottPletcher's and mine return the same results?
I can't test it either, since I don't have data, but I can tell you: yes, they do produce the same results, albeit that yours could execute more slowly, depending on table indexes and the sophistication of the SQL optimizer.
Look closely at the first condition in each set of tests: they are mutually exclusive:
STF.STAUDFLDEXTNEW like 'BAD%'
--vs.--
STF.STAUDFLDEXTNEW NOT like 'BAD%'
Thus, you don't need to do additional checks to distinguish between them when adding the amounts.
