I'm using T-SQL with ASP.NET, and c# and i'm pretty new to SQL.
I was wondering how i could combine the results of two queries
Query1:
SELECT tableA.Id, tableA.Name, [tableB].Username AS Owner, [tableB].ImageUrl, [tableB].CompanyImageUrl, COUNT(tableD.UserId) AS NumberOfUsers
FROM tableD RIGHT OUTER JOIN
[tableB] INNER JOIN
tableA ON [tableB].Id = tableA.Owner ON tableD.tableAId = tableA.Id
GROUP BY tableA.Name, [tableB].Username, [tableB].ImageUrl, [tableB].CompanyImageUrl
Query2:
SELECT tableA.Id, tableA.Name, COUNT([tableC].Id) AS NumberOfPlans
FROM [tableC] RIGHT OUTER JOIN
tableA ON [tableC].tableAId = tableA.Id
GROUP BY tableA.Id, tableA.Name
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
While it is possible to combine the results, I would advise against doing so.
You have two fundamentally different types of queries that return a different number of rows, a different number of columns and different types of data. It would be best to leave it as it is - two separate queries.
Probably you use Microsoft SQL Server which support Common Table Expressions (CTE) (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190766.aspx) which are very friendly for query optimization. So I suggest you my favor construction:
WITH GetNumberOfPlans(Id,NumberOfPlans) AS (
SELECT tableA.Id, COUNT(tableC.Id)
FROM tableC
RIGHT OUTER JOIN tableA ON tableC.tableAId = tableA.Id
GROUP BY tableA.Id
),GetUserInformation(Id,Name,Owner,ImageUrl,
CompanyImageUrl,NumberOfUsers) AS (
SELECT tableA.Id, tableA.Name, tableB.Username AS Owner, tableB.ImageUrl,
tableB.CompanyImageUrl,COUNT(tableD.UserId),p.NumberOfPlans
FROM tableA
INNER JOIN tableB ON tableB.Id = tableA.Owner
RIGHT OUTER JOIN tableD ON tableD.tableAId = tableA.Id
GROUP BY tableA.Name, tableB.Username, tableB.ImageUrl, tableB.CompanyImageUrl
)
SELECT u.Id,u.Name,u.Owner,u.ImageUrl,u.CompanyImageUrl
,u.NumberOfUsers,p.NumberOfPlans
FROM GetUserInformation AS u
INNER JOIN GetNumberOfPlans AS p ON p.Id=u.Id
After some experiences with CTE you will be find very easy to write code using CTE and you will be happy with the performance.
