I am developing a web application and now I need to make this application

  • 0

I am developing a web application and now I need to make this application able to generate some reports from its database. I have a huge database with a quite complicated structure. I came up with a large SQL Query and it was working fine with me until I changed a little bit the structure of the database. I modified it according to these changes but still it does not work. I tested it in the SQLServer Management Studio and I failed. Sometimes it tells me that the error is with syntax. Sometimes it tells me that the error with ”.

Simple structure of the database:

employee table: Name, Username, JobTitle, BadgeNo, EmpOrgType, DivisionID

Departments table: DepartmentCode, DepartmentName

courses table: CourseID, CourseName, GroupID

group table: GroupID, GroupName

employee_courses: employeeID, courseID

The first attribute in each table is the primary key of each table except for the last table, employee_courses table.

The query is:

select *
from
    (SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT 
            dbo.Divisions.DivisionName, 
            dbo.employee.EmpOrgType, 
            dbo.employee.Name, 
            T1.Username, 
            courses_2.CourseName, 
            CASE WHEN dbo.employee_courses.courseId IS NULL THEN '' '' 
                 ELSE ''Yes'' END AS CourseId
     FROM dbo.employee_courses 
     RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.courses AS courses_2 
     INNER JOIN (SELECT employee_1.Username, 
                        courses_1.CourseID
                 FROM dbo.employee AS employee_1 
                 CROSS JOIN dbo.courses AS courses_1) 
                                  AS T1 ON courses_2.CourseID = T1.CourseID 
     INNER JOIN dbo.employee ON T1.Username = dbo.employee.Username 
                             ON dbo.employee_courses.employeeId = T1.Username AND
                                dbo.employee_courses.courseId = T1.CourseID
     ORDER BY T1.Username
    ) DataTable

This query should retrieve the information of the employee: Name, Username, JobTitle, BadgeNo, EmpOrgType and DivisionName. Then, it should display the courses that he took them from the courses table with mentioning the GroupName of those taken courses.

    Do you actually want to see the single quotes in your result string? If yes, try:

    SELECT *
FROM   (SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.divisions.divisionname,
                             dbo.employee.emporgtype,
                             dbo.employee.name,
                             t1.username,
                             courses_2.coursename,
                             CASE
                               WHEN dbo.employee_courses.courseid IS NULL
                             THEN ''' '''
                               ELSE '''Yes'''
                             END AS courseid
    FROM   dbo.employee_courses
           RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.courses AS courses_2
                            INNER JOIN (SELECT employee_1.username,
                                               courses_1.courseid
                                        FROM   dbo.employee AS employee_1
                                               CROSS JOIN dbo.courses AS
                                                          courses_1)
                                       AS t1
                              ON courses_2.courseid = t1.courseid
                            INNER JOIN dbo.employee
                              ON t1.username = dbo.employee.username
             ON dbo.employee_courses.employeeid = t1.username
                AND dbo.employee_courses.courseid = t1.courseid
    ORDER  BY t1.username) datatable
