Re: SQL: how to combine a join with WHERE EXISTS

Your WHERE EXISTS is ahead of the LEFT JOIN - you also need parentheses around the SELECT that is populating the INSERT. Try this -

insert into bzmiscchg OVERRIDING USER VALUE
(select ' ','I',ASHPNBR,ABLDNGD,APLSQNB,AMSCHRG,
CTLTEXT3 ChgDesc,sum(AMSCHRG2) chgamt,
replace(char(curdate(),iso),'-','') || 'T'
|| replace(char(curTime()),':','')
,' ',' '
from miscchg3 a

left outer join ctltable
on CTLTABLE = 'MISCCHG' and AMSCHRG = CTLELEMENT

where exists
(select * from APPLSHIP b
where a.ASHPNBR = b.ASHPNBR
and a.ABLDNGD = b.ABLDNGD
and a.APLSQNB = b.APLSQNB
)
group by ASHPNBR,ABLDNGD,APLSQNB,AMSCHRG,CTLTEXT3
order by ASHPNBR,ABLDNGD,APLSQNB,AMSCHRG))

I tried if after the join also - still no luck.

I think that I tried every possible sequence.

Is it possible?

Joel

You have a WHERE clause ahead of the LEFT JOIN - that's the wrong order.

:)

Time to go home, man!

Im trying to combine a WHERE EXISTS with a left outer join.

I am receiving error "keyword LEFT not expected".

Is there a way to make this happen?

Thanks
