Re: Sql count not adding up correctly

What result do you get using this query:

SELECT count(*)
FROM CaRates a, xtCaRates b
WHERE a.ptccp7 = b.ptccp7
and a.ptccp6 = b.ptccp6
and a.ptccp5 = b.ptccp5
and a.ptccp4 = b.ptccp4
and a.ptccp3 = b.ptccp3
and a.ptccp2 = b.ptccp2
and a.ptccp1 = b.ptccp1
and (
a.Term= 0 or
(a.Term > 20121214 and a.Term <> 20121231)
)

There are no duplicates that's what is Driving me nuts I've verified this
through a query and had another programmer verify the same thing

To avoid duplicates, you may use the following SQL Statement:

or a.Term > :HostVar) x

or

Select Count(Distinct Fld1 concat Fld2 concat Fld3 concat Fld4 concat

concat Fld6 concat Fld7)

Betreff: Re: AW: Sql count not adding up correctly

Maybe here is a way to explain this better.

File A has 45,000 records over 15 fields, of which seven make each
record
unique.

File B has 22,000,000 records over the same 15 fields, of which seven
also
makes each record unique.

1. I need to A. update File B records that are found in File A and
update
one field and one field only - a date field.

2. I need to be able to run a query and prove the results are accurate.

I thought this count would do that, but its not and it appears I'm
updating
too many as well.

Mac

Still more than doubling up the numbers.....I have verified using QM
Query that the # of reocrds in the second file matches up one to one
with the first....so instead of getting 150,000 records I should only
have 45K

You may also try the following

Select Count(*)

From CaRates a join xtCaRates b

on a.ptccp7 = b.ptccp7 and
a.ptccp6 = b.ptccp6 and
a.ptccp5 = b.ptccp5 and
a.ptccp4 = b.ptccp4 and
a.ptccp3 = b.ptccp3 and
a.ptcpp2 = b.ptccp2 and
a.ptcpp1 = b.ptcpp1 and Where a.Term = 0 or a.Term >
:xDate;

What do you get when you run it like this...


Select count(*) from CaRates as a
Where exists
(select * from xtCaRates as b
where a.ptccp7 = b.ptccp7 and
a.ptccp6 = b.ptccp6 and
a.ptccp5 = b.ptccp5 and
a.ptccp4 = b.ptccp4 and
a.ptccp3 = b.ptccp3 and
a.ptcpp2 = b.ptccp2 and
a.ptcpp1 = b.ptcpp1 and
(a.Term = 0 or a.Term > :xDate))


There's clearly more than a 1 to 1 match between the two tables.
Your update is just doing an EXIST meaning find just one record in

xtCaRates.

But your validation is joining the two tables together. So if table
CaRates had one record were

ptcpp1 = 1
ptcpp2 = 2
ptcpp3 = 3
ptcpp4 = 4
ptcpp5 = 5
ptcpp6 = 6
ptcpp7 = 7

And xtCaRates had Two records with the same values, your select will
return a count of two, not one like the update EXISTS clause did.

If there were two records in both tables, then the result of count
would be
4 and so on.

I'm having a problem trying to get an accurate count of my records

Here is the SQL statement for the update:

Exec Sql
Update CaRates as a
Set a.Term = :xTermDate
Where exists
(select * from xtCaRates as b
where a.ptccp7 = b.ptccp7 and
a.ptccp6 = b.ptccp6 and
a.ptccp5 = b.ptccp5 and
a.ptccp4 = b.ptccp4 and
a.ptccp3 = b.ptccp3 and
a.ptcpp2 = b.ptccp2 and
a.ptcpp1 = b.ptcpp1 and
(a.Term = 0 or a.Term > :xDate));

The update seems to work just fine, but I'm trying to validate the
results and this statement always seems to give me more records than
I

have:

SELECT count(*)
FROM CaRates a, xtCaRates b WHERE a.ptccp7 = b.ptccp7 and a.ptccp6 =
b.ptccp6 and a.ptccp5 = b.ptccp5 and a.ptccp4 =
b.ptccp4 and a.ptccp3 = b.ptccp3 and a.ptccp2 = b.ptccp2 and
a.ptccp1 = b.ptccp1
and (a.Term= 0 or a.Term > 20121214 and a.Term <> 20121231)

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
