Two tables but if 2nd table has one row that is to be ignored

  • I cannot think of an easy way

    Two Tables

    Table 1    PROJECT            Project_ID , Client ID

    Data

    Project_ID , Client ID

    101000   A00001

    101000   A00002

    102000  A1111111

    Table 2   CLIENT        Client_ID    ROLE

    Client ID   ROLE

    A00001    SYS

    A00002   SYS

    A1111111   SYS

    SELECT * FROM PROJECT A INNER JOIN CLIENT B ON A.CLIENT_ID = B.CLIENT_ID

    101000   A00001

    101000   A00002

    102000  A1111111

    I am looking to only get the following output

    101000   A00001

    101000   A00002

    There shouldn't be two rows for the PROJECT for the same PROJECT_ID in the table 2 CLIENT

     

     

  • Back up a step.  What's the question you're trying to answer?

    Why not post some consumable data so people can just run it and help solve your problem?

    use tempdb;
    go
    CREATE TABLE #Projects (
      ProjectID INT NOT NULL,
      ClientID VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL
    );
    GO
    INSERT INTO #Projects
    VALUES (101000,'A00001'),(101000,'A00002'),(102000, 'A1111111');
    CREATE TABLE #Clients (
       ClientID VARCHAR(8) PRIMARY KEY,
       ClientRole CHAR(3)
    );
    GO
    INSERT INTO #Clients VALUES
    ('A00001', 'SYS'),
    ('A00002', 'SYS'),
    ('A1111111','SYS');
  • Thank you.

     

    The end result should just return 101000, as it has two records in client table.

    If there is one record in projects and one record in clients this is a match.

     

  • What's the business question you're trying to answer?

  •  

    SELECT ClientID
    FROM #Projects
    GROUP BY ClientID
    HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT ClientRole) > 1
    ORDER BY ClientID

  • >> Two Tables <<

    where is the DDL for these tables? We need to know the keys, the datatypes of the columns, the constraints and the references. What you posted is pretty much useless garbage. You don't even seem to know that a table because it models a set of entities, has had a plural or collective name. Here's my attempt at fixing what you gave us.

    CREATE TABLE Projects

    (project_id CHAR(5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,

    ..);

    CREATE TABLE Clients

    (client_id VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY

    CHECK (client_id LIKE 'A%'),

    client_role CHAR(3) NOT NULL

    CHECK(client_role IN ('SYS', ...))

    ..);

    Since Clients and Projects are clearly distinct entities and should have their own tables. What you are calling projects is actually a relationship between them. Your incorrect design is what screwing you up. Please notice I've made an assumption that what you're calling a "<something>_role" is an attribute of the client. But because you don't know how to name an attribute, it might be in an attribute of projects.

    CREATE TABLE Project_Participants

    (project_id CHAR(5) NOT NULL,

    REFERENCES Projects,

    client_id VARCHAR(7) NOT NULL

    REFERENCES Clients,

    PRIMARY KEY (project_id, client_id),

    ..);

    INSERT INTO Project_Participants

    VALUES

    ('101000', 'A00001'),

    ('101000', 'A00002'),

    ('102000', 'A1111111');

    >> There shouldn't be two rows for the Projects for the same project_id in the table 2 Clients <<

    But that's what you put in your sample data! Can you please post something that is coherent and follows basic netiquette?

    Please post DDL and follow ANSI/ISO standards when asking for help.
