I'm working with PeopleSoft's query manager and I'm having trouble creating a report that will find all active employees who do not have a certain leave type.
I have the two tables (Employees - Non terminated Employees and Leave_Accrual-EE). They are left outer joined. The field in question is PLAN_TYPE. Now, I've tried creating a filter to pull in all employees who do not have plan type 54. The criteria is B.PLAN_TYPE not equal to 54, but that still brings up everyone, it just doesn't bring up the row for 54.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious - maybe I have to create a subquery? If so, I have never done this in PeopleSoft.
Anyone have any advice?

This is less of a PeopleSoft question, and more of a SQL question.
The problem you have been running into is that you are doing a per-row filter and excluding only rows that have the undesirable code.
What you need to do instead is exclude all rows for a user that has the undesirable code in any row.
This can be done with a NOT IN or NOT EXISTS query.
e.g.
SELECT EMPLID
FROM TABLE1
WHERE
EMPLID NOT IN
(
SELECT EMPLID
FROM TABLE1
WHERE CODE = 123
)
/
alternately
SELECT A.EMPLID
FROM TABLE1 A
WHERE
NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT B.EMPLID
FROM TABLE1 B
WHERE
B.CODE = 123
AND B.EMPLID = A.EMPLID
)
/
See this SQL Fiddle example to test out the SQL:
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!4/2b0f6/7
To do this in PS Query, you could do this by adding a criteria with a subquery on the right side of the equivalence.
Here is some documentation:

I'm developing a system for generate mdx queries from entity "FilterCriterias" and related info like the number of records of a query, so I need a generic way to get the number of records of a mdx query than use subcubes. In a normal query I do something like:
WITH
MEMBER [MyCount] AS
Count([Date].[Date].MEMBERS)
SELECT
{[MyCount]} ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works];
But I have problems when use this way in queries a little more complexes like that
WITH
MEMBER [MyCount] AS
Count([Date].[Date].MEMBERS)
SELECT
{[MyCount]} ON 0
FROM
(
SELECT
{[Measures].[Sales Amount]} ON 0
,{[Date].[Date].&[20050701] : [Date].[Date].&[20051231]} ON 1
FROM
(
SELECT
{[Sales Channel].[Sales Channel].&[Internet]} ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
)
);
I guess the logic response could be the number of records of [Date].[Members] left in the subcube, but I get a result without columns and rows. I'm newbie in mdx language and I don't understand this behavior. Exists some generic way to get the number of records from a "base" query just like SELECT COUNT(*) FROM () in plain SQL?
The structure is quite different to a ralational SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ().
I believe that the structure of a sub-select will be very similar to that of a sub-cube and reading through this definition from MSDN (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144774.aspx) of what a sub-cube contains tells us that it isn't a straight filter like in a relational query:
Admittedly I still find this behaviour rather "enigmatic" (a polite way of saying "I do not understand it")
Is there a workaround?
Currently I am developing an Access 2013 based Application for tracking evaluation information of the school students. The database contains only 3 simple tables:
tblSubjects = Contains different subject information
tblStudents = Contains student's personal information
tblMarks = Contains subject wise evaluation marks for each student
and few other queries based on these 3 tables. Now I have a (bit ugly) sql query like following:
SELECT tblStudents.*,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM qryPapers WHERE qryPapers.STUDID=tblStudents.STUDID) AS PAPER_COUNT,
(SELECT SUM(MR_TOTAL) FROM qryPapers WHERE qryPapers.STUDID=tblStudents.STUDID) AS ALL_TOTAL,
(SELECT MIN(MR_TOTAL) FROM qryPapers WHERE qryPapers.STUDID=tblStudents.STUDID AND qryPapers.PAPER_TYPE LIKE 'E?') AS MIN_ELEC,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM qryPapers WHERE qryPapers.STUDID=tblStudents.STUDID AND qryPapers.PAPER_TYPE LIKE 'A?') AS LANG_PS,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM qryPapers WHERE qryPapers.STUDID=tblStudents.STUDID AND qryPapers.PAPER_TYPE LIKE 'E?') AS ELCT_PS,
IIf([PAPER_COUNT]>5,ALL_TOTAL-MIN_ELEC,ALL_TOTAL) AS [GT],
IIf([LANG_PS]=2 And [ELCT_PS]>=3,'PASS','FAIL') AS STATUS
FROM tblStudents;
The Problem is, whenever I try to run a filter on the STATUS field of this query (Like When STATUS='PASS') the entire ACCESS is first STOPES RESPONDING! and then SHUTS DOWN and RESTARTS.
I have no idea what is going on here. I have seen far more complex queries running perfectly well, but not this one. Any help will be appreciated.
I've experienced this a lot in Access. I don't know the cause of the problem but I just export the query to Excel or create a table based on the query to apply filtering.
A strange thing, that I don't know the cause, is happenning when trying to collect results from a db2 database.
The query is the following:
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM
MYSCHEMA.TABLE1 T1
WHERE
NOT EXISTS (
SELECT
*
FROM
MYSCHEMA.TABLE2 T2
WHERE
T2.PRIMARY_KEY_PART_1 = T1.PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2
AND T2.PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2 = T1.PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2
)
It is a very simple one.
The strange thing is, this same query, if I change COUNT(*) to * I will get 8 results and using COUNT(*) I will get only 2. The process was repeated some more times and the strange result is still continuing.
At this example, TABLE2 is a parent table of the TABLE1 where the primary key of the TABLE1 is PRIMARY_KEY_PART_1 and PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2, and the primary key of the TABLE2 is PRIMARY_KEY_PART_1, PRIMARY_KEY_PART_2 and PRIMARY_KEY_PART_3.
There's no foreign key between them (because they were legacy ones) and they have a huge amount of data.
The DB2 query SELECT VERSIONNUMBER FROM SYSIBM.SYSVERSIONS returns:
7020400
8020400
9010600
And the client used is SquirrelSQL 3.6 (without the rows limit marked).
So, what is the explanation to this strange result?
Without the details (including, at least, the exact Db2 version and DDL for both tables and their indexes) it can be just anything, and even with that details only IBM support will be really able to say, what is the actual reason.
Generally this looks like damaged data (e.g. differences in index vs table data).
Worth to open the support case with IBM.
I'm working on a sqlite database and try to make a special request between two tables.
In the first table (table1 for example), i have two columns named "reference" and "ID". I want to search an ID in it, get it value in "reference" and display all informations from the table which have this value as name.
I try to find something on the internet but I didn't find an answer.
This is the request I made:
select * from (select Reference from table1 where Name='Value1')
It only give me the result of
select Reference from table1 where Name='Value1'
EDIT:
I want
select Reference from table1 where Name='Value1' => name of table
select * from name of table => show all elements
I'm new in sqlite but I hope you can help me.
Thank you by advance

If I understand your question correctly, I don't think there's a way to do it in sql completely (or at least not in a portable way). I'd recommend one of 3 solutions:
Do exactly what you want, but do some processing in Python. That means query your master table, then construct new query based on each of the rows returned.
If you have many tables, possibly changing dynamically - it may be a good idea to rethink your database design. Maybe you can move some of the changing table names into a new column and put your data in one table?
If you have only a few tables available as the Reference and they never change, you could join all the possible tables, like:
SELECT ... FROM table1
LEFT JOIN table2
ON table1.id = table2.id AND table1.Reference = "table2"
LEFT JOIN table3 ...
But you may need to explain it all a bit better...
I'm trying to add an auto-calculated field in SQL Server 2012 Express, that stores the % of project completion, by calculating the date difference by using:
ALTER TABLE dbo.projects
ADD PercentageCompleted AS (select COUNT(*) FROM projects WHERE project_finish > project_start) * 100 / COUNT(*)
But I am getting this error:
Msg 1046, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed.
What am I doing wrong?
Even if it would be possible (it isn't), it is anyway not something you would want to have as a caculated column:
it will be the same value in each row
the entire table would need to be updated after every insert/update
You should consider doing this in a stored procedure or a user defined function instead.Or even better in the business logic of your application,
I don't think you can do that. You could write a trigger to figure it out or do it as part of an update statement.
Are you storing "percentageCompleted" as a duplicated column value in the same table as your project data?
If this is the case, I would not recommend this, because it would duplicate the data.
If you don't care about duplicate data, try something separating the steps out like this:
ALTER TABLE dbo.projects
ADD PercentageCompleted decimal(2,2) --You could also store it as a varchar or char
declare #percentageVariable decimal(2,2)
select #percentageVariable = (select count(*) from projects where Project_finish > project_start) / (select count(*) from projects) -- need to get ratio by completed/total
update projects
set PercentageCompleted = #percentageVariable
this will give you a decimal value in that table, then you can format it on select if you desire to % + PercentageCompleted * 100
