The Primary key in table one is used as in table 2 but it is modified as so:
Primary key Column in table 1: 123abc
Column in table 2: 123abc_1
I.e. the key is used but then _1 is added to create a unique value in the column of Table 2.
Is there any way that I can join the two tables, the data in the 2 columns is not identical but it very similar. Could I do something like:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1 INNER JOIN
TABLE2
ON TABLE1.COUMN1 contains TABLE2.COLUMN2;
I.e. checking that the value in Table 1 is within the value in Table 2?
You can check only the first part of column2; for example
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1 INNER JOIN TABLE2
ON INSTR(COLUMN2, COLUMN1) = 1
or
ON COLUMN2 LIKE COLUMN1 || '%'
However, keeping foreign key in such a way can be really dangerous, not to think about performance on large DBs.
You'd better use a different column in Table2 to store the key of Table 1, even adding a constraint.

Let's say I have a table1 in schema1 like this:
Stu_ID
Math
1
A
2
B
3
B+
Now, I want to add a new column, for instance, Literature, into table1 in schema1.
ALTER TABLE schema1.table 1
ADD COLUMN Literature STRING
Table1 now looks like
Stu_ID
Math
Literature
1
A
NULL
2
B
NULL
3
B+
NULL
I want to load data from table2, shema2 based on the respective Stu_ID. Is there a way to do so? I have thought of UPDATE, but Impala only supports updating a kudu table according to my understanding. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
instead of update you can insert+overwrite.
insert overwrite schema1.table1 t1
select
t1.stu_id, t1.Math, t2.Literature
from schema1.table1 t1
join schema2.table2 t2 ON t1.stu_id=t2.stu_id
This will replace whole data of t1 and will replace with old data + new column.
I have a table table1, where there is a million data and a completely identical table table2, only there are only 106 data. How it is possible to delete these 106 data from table1?
In these two tables i have fields like id, date, param0, param1, param2.
Presuming that uniqueness is enforced through the ID column in both tables, then:
delete from table1 a
where exists (select null
from table2 b
where b.id = a.id
);
Otherwise, add some more columns (into the where clause) which will help you delete only rows you really want.
I'm using Oracle12c
I have a table with a primary key and separate column.
create tableB(
ID number(10)
,data number(10)
);
ID is my primary key.
I have to join 3 tables on my query and the performance issue is the B.data without an index.
B.data contains 'null' values and multiple entries on the same numbers.
select A.examp from tabled D
join tableb B on D.data = B.data
join tablec C on B.ID = C.ID
join tablea A on C.val = A.val
where D.ID = :value;
So my question is what is the difference between an index that contains only one value like the data column
create index ind_tableb on tableb (data);
and an index that contains multiple columns like
create index ind_tableb on tableb (data, id);
Can i get an improvement by selecting the id in the index with the data in the way i join the columns ?
Thanks for any advise and help.
For this particular query, you want the two column index version:
create index ind_tableb on tableb (data, id);
The above index, if used, would let Oracle rapidly lookup tabled.data values for a potential match with a tableb.data value. If a match be found, then the same index would also contain the tableb.ID value for the next join to tablec. If you just used the single column version on tableb.data alone, then Oracle would have to seek back to the tableb table to find the ID values. This could hurt performance and might even cause the index to not be used.
I have two db2 tables, table one contains rows of constant data with id as one of the columns. second table contains id column which is foreign key to id column in first table and has 3 more varchar columns.
I am trying to insert rows into second table, where entry into id col is based on a where clause and the remaining columns get values from outside.
table1 has columns id, t1c1, t1c2, t1c3
table2 has columns id, t2c1, t2c2, t2c3
to insert into table2, I am trying this query:
insert into table2 values
(select id from table1 where t1c2 like 'xxx', 'abc1','abc2');
I know it is something basic I am missing here.
Please help correcting this query.
In Oracle I have two tables. Both are populated with data and have a timestamp column.
One table has that column filled with data, the other table doesn't. But I need to get the data from the table that does into the column of the other table based on a match of another column.
Each has 'code' so the timestamp from the one table should only be put in the timestamp of the other table where the codes match.
I've tried cursors etc, but it seems like I'm missing something.
Any suggestions?
It sounds like you want a correlated update. This will update every row of destinationTable with the timestamp_col from sourceTable where there is a match on the code column.
UPDATE destinationTable d
SET timestamp_col = (SELECT s.timestamp_col
FROM sourceTable s
WHERE s.code = d.code )
WHERE EXISTS( SELECT 1
FROM sourceTable s
WHERE s.code = d.code )
Just for completeness, I think I would have done something like this (untested), if the destination has a primary key or unique column:
UPDATE (
SELECT d.primary_key AS pk, d.timestamp_col AS dest_col, MAX(s.timestamp_col) AS src_col
FROM dest d
JOIN src s ON d.code = s.code
GROUP BY pk, dest_col
) j
SET j.dest_col = j.src_col
