Join problem

Hi every one

I have two tables location master and Transaction table

/************Location master ********/

LocationMaster:

LOAD

     LocCd,

     LocCd,

     LocCoCd,

     LocDesc,

     LocTyp

FROM

[..\QVD\LocationMaster.Qvd]

(qvd);

/************Transaction master ********/

Txnd:

LOAD

    TdRmSz,

    TdRmStkRt,

    TdRmQty,

    TdFrRmLoc,

    TdToRmLoc,

    TdFrRmDc

FROM

[..\QVD\Txnd.qvd]

(qvd);

here condition is that i want to join LocCd from location master to Transaction master on TdFrRmLoc and TdToRmLoc

means condition is that join loc on (LocCd=TdFrRmLoc or LocCd=TdtoRmLoc) to access Loctyp .

Thanks

U can write a script like below.

LocationMaster:

LOAD

     LocCd as Key,

     LocCd,

     LocCoCd,

     LocDesc,

     LocTyp

FROM

[..\QVD\LocationMaster.Qvd]

(qvd);

Inner join

LOAD

    TdRmSz,

    TdRmStkRt,

    TdRmQty,

    TdFrRmLoc as Key

    TdFrRmLoc,

    TdToRmLoc,

    TdFrRmDc

FROM

[..\QVD\Txnd.qvd]

(qvd);

Concatenate

LocationMaster:

LOAD

     LocCd as Key,

     LocCd,

     LocCoCd,

     LocDesc,

     LocTyp

FROM

[..\QVD\LocationMaster.Qvd]

(qvd);

Inner join

LOAD

    TdRmSz,

    TdRmStkRt,

    TdRmQty,

    TdToRmLoc as Key

    TdFrRmLoc,

    TdToRmLoc,

    TdFrRmDc

FROM

[..\QVD\Txnd.qvd]

(qvd);

I hope , it helps u

I assume that TdFrRmLoc and TdtoRmLoc are the From- and To- locations. So they are two different things. That means you can't join both fields to one LocationMaster table directly. You can do several things.

  1. Use a mapping table to add LocTyp (and perhaps LocDesc) to the Txnd table for both From- and To- locations.
  2. Create two LocationMaster tables, one for From- locations and one for To- locations
  3. Create a link table
  4. Use LocationMaster as a data island and don't associate it with Txnd. Use field triggers make selections.

Option 2 is the easiest to do:

LocationsFrom:

LOAD

     LocCd as TdFrRmLoc,

     LocCoCd as LocFromCoCd,

     LocDesc as LocFromDesc,

     LocTyp as LocFromTyp

FROM

[..\QVD\LocationMaster.Qvd]

(qvd);

LocationsTo:

LOAD

     LocCd as TdToRmLoc ,

     LocCoCd as LocToCoCd,

     LocDesc as LocToDesc,

     LocTyp as LocToType

FROM

[..\QVD\LocationMaster.Qvd]

(qvd);

Option3 is fairly easy too and gives you a bit more flexibility:

LocationLink:

TdRmSz,            //assuming this is the primary key of Txnd, if not replace it with the field that is

TdFrRmLoc as LocCd,

'From' as LocationGroup

resident Txnd;

Concatenate (LocationLink)

TdTmSz,

TdToRmLoc as LocCd,

'To' as LocationGroup

resident Txnd;

Hi Gysbert

I used second option given by you and created two tables of location master i also tried third option but Txn table have millions of records so I did not use third option .

Now i am stuck with condition and dimension used for expression so i want to ask that which is more suitable for for following function .

My  (SQL) function is following which i want to calculate :-

===============================================================

select * from

(select loccd,

sum(case when TdFrRmLoc=loccd and TdFrRmDc='c' and tdt between '01/06/05' and '30/08/05'  then TdRmWt else 0 end)+

sum(case when TdToRmLoc=loccd and TdToRmDc='C' and tdt between '01/06/05' and '30/08/05' then TdRmWt else 0 end))

from  txn join txnd

on ttc=tdtc and tyy=tdyy and tchr=tdchr and tno=tdno 

join loc on (LocCd=TdFrRmLoc or LocCd=TdtoRmLoc) and LocTyp='S' and loccocd='DDL'

join RmMst on RmCd=TdRmCd

Where Rmctg IN ('d')

group by loccd)

=================================================================================

No. of table and its records

Txn:64195 

Txnd: 2659256 Rows

Loc:64 Rows

Txn and Txnd already joind by Key . 

Thanks
