Cognos 11 - filter between query subjects - cognos

Given Table A with columns: ColA1, ColA2, ColA3
And a Table B with columns: ColB1
I want to restrict the data that can be returned from Table A based on data in Table B, like:
ColA1 not in ColB1
Ideally, some way incorporate SQL queries in the filter with select statements

What you want is
SELECT a.ColA1
, a.ColA2
, a.ColA3
FROM TableA a
LEFT OUTER JOIN TableB b on b.ColB1 = a.ColA1
WHERE b.ColB1 IS NULL
So...
Query1 contains ColA1, ColA2, and ColA3 from TableA.
Query2 contains ColB1 from TableB.
Query3
joins Query1 and Query2 on ColA1 1..1 = 0..1 ColB1
Data Items: ColA1, ColA2, ColA3
Filter: ColB1 IS NOT NULL

not exists is probably what you are looking for
Try something like this
select * from TableA as T1
where not exists
(select * from TableB as T2
where t1.key1 = t2.key1 and T1.key2 = t2.key2)

Error Snowflake - Unsupported subquery type cannot be evaluated

I am facing an error in snowflake saying "Unsupported subquery type cannot be evaluated" after for example executing the below statement. How should write this statement to avoid this error?
select A
from (
select b
, c
FROM test_table
) ;
The outer query column list needs to be within the column list of the subquery. example: select b from (select b,c from test_table);
ignoring "columns" the query you have shown will never trigger this error.
You would get it from this form though:
select A.*
from tableA as A
where a.x = (select b.y FROM test_table as b where b.z = a.z)
this form assuming there is only 1 b.y per b.z can be turned into a inner join like
select A.*
from tableA as A
join test_table as b
on b.z = a.z and a.x = b.y
other forms of this pattern do the likes of max(b.y) and those can be made into a sub-select like:
select A.*
from tableA as A
join (
select c.z, max(c.y) from test_table as c group by 1
) as b
on b.z = a.z and a.x = b.y
but the general pattern is, in other databases there is no "cost" to do row-by-row queries, where-as Snowflake is more optimal with pre-building tables of similar data, and then equi-joining those results together. So both the "how-to-write" example pivot from a for-each-row thinking to a build the set of all possible answers, and then join that. This allows for the most parallel processing of the data possible. And while it means you the develop need to understand your data to get he best performance out of it, in general if you are doing large scale data processing, you should be understanding your data. So this costs, is rather acceptable imho.
If you are trying to Match Two Attributes on the Subquery.
Use like below:
If both need to matched:
select * from Table WHERE a IN ( select b FROM test_table ) AND a IN ( select c FROM test_table )
If any one need to matched:
select * from Table WHERE a IN ( select b FROM test_table ) OR a IN ( select c FROM test_table )

{MS Access] How can I joint two tables without duplicate data?

I got two tables below:
And I want to create a query to combine them like below:
But unsuccessfully I got something like this:
Some data for "value1" duplicated
How can I solve this?
Is there any function that can have "value1" for the first "no." only?
Thank you.
You can do this by using a subquery to prepare the data.
It seems you want only the rows with the lowest Sub no to join, so we'll first select that:
SELECT [No], Value2
FROM Table2 m
WHERE
EXISTS(
SELECT 1
FROM Table2 s
WHERE s.[No] = m.[No]
HAVING MIN(s.sub_no) = m.sub_no
)
Then, integrate this into your main query:
SELECT *
FROM Table1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT [No], Value2
FROM Table2 m
WHERE
EXISTS(
SELECT 1
FROM Table2 s
WHERE s.[No] = m.[No]
HAVING MIN(s.sub_no) = m.sub_no
)
) AS T2 ON T1.[No] = T2.[No]

How to filter rows data from sqlite table with a variable from multiple column?

Here is the code i am using to filter rows with a variable from single column and Its working:
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE item1 LIKE ?", ('%'+item_name+'%', ))
n = cur.fetchall()
But i want to filter rows with one variable from multiple columns.
For example: Table has three columns as item1, item2 and item3. I want to filter rows as select * from table1 where item1, item2 and item3.
If it is possible, please let me know How to do?
You can join the table to this query:
SELECT '%' || ? || '%' AS item_name
on the conditions that you want, like this:
SELECT t1.*
FROM Table1 t1 INNER JOIN (SELECT '%' || ? || '%' AS item_name) t2
ON t1.item1 LIKE t2.item_name OR t1.item2 LIKE t2.item_name OR t1.item3 LIKE t2.item_name
and your code will be:
cur.execute("SELECT t1.* FROM .....", (item_name, ))

How to do compare/subtract records

Table A having 20 records and table B showing 19 records. How to find that one record is which is missing in table B. How to do compare/subtract records of these two tables; to find that one record. Running query in Apache Superset.
The exact answer depends on which column(s) define whether two records are the same. Assuming you wanted to use some primary key column for the comparison, you could try:
SELECT a.*
FROM TableA a
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TableB b WHERE b.pk = a.pk);
If you wanted to use more than one column to compare records from the two tables, then you would just add logic to the exists clause, e.g. for three columns:
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM TableB b WHERE b.col1 = a.col1 AND
b.col2 = a.col2 AND
b.col3 = a.col3)

Typed query for INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT)?

Is it possible to create a typed query that produces the following SQL?
SELECT A.*
FROM schema1.Table1 A
INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2 FROM schema1.Table2) B ON A.column1 = B.column1
You can't join a sub select with a typed API, the easiest way to implement this would be to use a CustomJoin, e.g:
var table1 = db.GetTableName<Table1>();
var q = db.From<Table1>()
.CustomJoin($#"INNER JOIN
(SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2 FROM schema1.Table2) B
ON {table1}.column1 = B.column1");
