My posted query isn't going to work. Didn't realise that you can't use an outer reference in a group by clause in SQL Server 2005.

Very cool. Thanks for the feedback, William.

What is an outer reference

ta.bu.shi.da.yu Hall of Fame Points: 3985 More actions · Answer 6

An outer reference is a reference to a table that isn't in the from clause.

e.g.

SELECT A.colA, B.colB

FROM PrimaryTable A where A.colValue in (select B.colValue from OuterRefTable B where A.colRef=B.colRef)

The table OuterRefTable in the subselect is an outer reference.

It's also known as a "Correlated Sub Query".

An outer reference is a reference to a table that isn't in the from clause.
e.g.
SELECT A.colA, B.colB
FROM PrimaryTable A where A.colValue in (select B.colValue from OuterRefTable B where A.colRef=B.colRef)
The table OuterRefTable in the subselect is an outer reference.

That's exactly backwards 😀

The outer reference in that example is A.colRef

The clearest example I could Google in ten seconds is this

It also nicely ties in Jeff's correct 'correlated sub-query' reference.

The correlation in this example between the inner SELECT (B) and the outer SELECT (A) is A.colRef = B.colRef. In that correlation, B.colRef is the inner reference and A.colRef is the outer reference.

Gah! I guess you live and learn. I seem to be making a lot of mistakes lately 🙁
