Combine Multiple Tables while deleting Multiples

62 New Member
Hi,
I'm probably making this much harder than it needs to be, but I just can't think of how to do this. Each year, a database is created with all employees on it. I need to pull all the employees from the last five years and delete any duplicates. Each table has the exact same fields. So basically, I'm trying to combine tables from 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Most of the employees will stay the same from year to year, so by combining all the years together, I get many multiples. There will be a few that aren't multiples, but how do I combine all this info and week out the multiples?

You should try a UNION Query, a union would allow you to union tables together and it would eliminate duplicates.

No problem. The easiest solutions are always the most elusive. =)

I am having a terrible time getting this to work. I am hoping someone out there can help me with very specific code examples. I am trying to get the linked tables in my Access 97 database to be updated whenever the database opens. I need to have them updated based on an INI file that resides in the same directory as the current database. I do not need or want the ability to open a dialog box to pick the location. I simply want it to...

What's the easiest method to combine the tables into a single table? ...

I was inspired by the recent discussion of returning multiple recordsets to ADO from a stored procedure. (Amazed is probably more accurate). I asked about how to accomplish same with Oracle and got a nudge in the right direction from Mr. Kreft. I promised to provide details once working, so here it is. The code is shown below. My next step is to build this technique into my application. I'm hoping for substantial performance gain. ...

Hello everyone, I have a database where I collect shipment data from various tables. However, I have a problem. Whenever I want to see shipping data for orders that were set to ship on or before a certain date (in this case January 30th) the database will return 2 rows for an order as you can see below. Order ID: Line: Due Date: Qty: Ship Qty: Part #: Shipped: 141285 1 1/30/2006 31 10 S15F-55

Each order table is name for the year of the orders... i.e. 2005 is 'Orders-2005', 2006 is "Orders-2006" So, I am not allowed to change the tables (boss likes how her stuff works.. bleh...)... but I am being asked to created a way to show all the orders from the last 12 montsh for a particular item, on demand. Previously the db was just used for quarterly reports, but she wants

I am working with a database that has client information separated in to 4 related tables - tFolder, tAddress, tEmail, tPhone number. In addition there are related tables tGifts and tCalls. The database has roughly 22,000 records but should only have around 6,000. The remaining records are duplicates, but in many cases the correct data for one person is spread out between the duplicate records and related tables. I need to be able to...

Hi I have this database that calculates and stores the incentive amount earned by employees of a particular department. Each record is entered by entering the Date, Shift (morn, eve, or night) and the 'employee name'. There is another table which assigns an ID to the Shifts, i.e. 1,2 and 3 for morn, eve & night shifts respectively. From the mother table, the incentive is calculated datewise for each employee as per his shift duty. In...

Hi: I need to find the multiples of a decimal number in a floating point list. For instance, if a have the list , I want the multiples of 0.2: . With integers this problem is easy, just test for (i%n == 0), where i is the number I am testing, and n is the multiple. Given the finite resolution of floating point numbers, this is more complicated for float.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
