Advanced Sql-Shape Query - Help

Hi,
This is my basic sql shape query:
SHAPE {select * from tbl1}
APPEND({SELECT * FROM tbl2 where field1=1} AS RS2 RELATE field TO
field)
With this query i get a RecordSet (RS1), who handle all the records
from table tbl1, and a secondary RecordSet (RS2) who handle all the
records from table tbl2, who applies to the criteria that field1=1.
It is possible that RS2 will be empty (zero records) since there is no
record in tbl2 who applies to that criteria.
My wish is to design a query, that will collect only the records from
tbl1, that will have records from tbl2 who applies to the criteria -
that RS2 won't be empty !
I want to influence on the main part of the query (RS1), through the
criteria that is being used in the secondery query (RS2).
I hope that my question is clear enough. thanks !
Hi
I have never used SHAPE/OLEDB, but in T-SQL you can do:
SELECT t1.* FROM tbl1 t1 WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM tbl2 t2 WHERE t1.field
= t2.field )
Therefore you may want to try this as your parent query.

in ADO. I have a
feeling that you will get better assistance if you post to a ADO group.

Hi,

This is my basic sql shape query:
------------------
SHAPE {select * from tbl1}
APPEND({SELECT * FROM tbl2 where field1=1} AS RS2 RELATE field TO

------------------

With this query i get a RecordSet (RS1), who handle all the records
from table tbl1, and a secondary RecordSet (RS2) who handle all the
records from table tbl2, who applies to the criteria that field1=1.

It is possible that RS2 will be empty (zero records) since there is no
record in tbl2 who applies to that criteria.

My wish is to design a query, that will collect only the records from
tbl1, that will have records from tbl2 who applies to the criteria -
that RS2 won't be empty !

I want to influence on the main part of the query (RS1), through the
criteria that is being used in the secondery query (RS2).

If I get this right you want this in the SHAPE part:

SELECT * FROM tbl1
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tbl2 WHERE tbl2.field = tbl1.fiedl)

Advanced Data Shaping - Multiple Relate clause

Hello,

I'm using a shape query, but instead of using a simple clause "RELATE
field1 to field2" (relates the parent to the child), i wan't to use 2
relates. somthing like "RELATE field1 to field2 AND field3 to field4".

I want to receive in the children RS only the records who apply both
conditions.

How do i do that ?

Thanks !(doar123@.gmail.com) writes:

I suspect that a newsgroup on ADO is better fitted for this question.

Or try Google. Entering SHAPE APPEND RELATE led me to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=189657 which a
appears to have the answer you are looking for.

both field1 and field2. For example:
Fieldx = cast(field1 as char(10)) + cast(field2 as char(10))
Do this in the child-rs, too and relate them with the Fieldx
