query problem

19 New Member
Can anyone please help with this?
when i run the following query, using SELECT*,

SELECT *
FROM tbl_artwork, tbl_artworkmedi um, tbl_medium
WHERE tbl_artwork.art workID = tbl_artworkmedi um.artworkID
AND tbl_artworkmedi um.mediumID = tbl_medium.medi umID
AND `dateCreated` =2002

I get more info than i need, (lots of IDs displaying) and type displays oil or watercolour etc. but when i try to get rid of the extra info by running a query which individually specifies the fields, the 'type' shows up as 'type' instead of content of type field. Hope I'm explaining this ok....


SQL-query:
SELECT `title` , `category` , `cost` , `image` , `size` , `paintedOn` , 'type', `dateCreated`
FROM tbl_artwork, tbl_artworkmedi um, tbl_medium
WHERE tbl_artwork.art workID = tbl_artworkmedi um.artworkID
AND tbl_artworkmedi um.mediumID = tbl_medium.medi umID
AND `forSale` = 'Yes'

this is the result:

title category cost image size paintedOn type dateCreated
Abstract Blue 1 Abstract 250 2000*2500mm canvas type 2001
Abstract Blue 2 Abstract 250 2500*2000mm canvas type 2001
Abstract multi 2 Abstract 290 3000*3000mm canvas type 2002
Abstract Multi 3 Abstract 280 3000*3000mm canvas type 2001
Abstract Multi 6 Abstract 310 3000*2800mm canvas type 2001
Abstract Multi 7 Abstract 290 3000*3000mm canvas type 2002

( i know the above query is to pull through different info than the first, but it's just to illustrate my problem) type is the only field in tblMedium other than the PK.
thanks,
Diz

Not sure what SQL language you're using, I use T-Sql (Microsoft) Anyway, looking at your SQL statement.
SQL-query:
SELECT `title` , `category` , `cost` , `image` , `size` , `paintedOn` , 'type', `dateCreated`
FROM tbl_artwork, tbl_artworkmedi um, tbl_medium
WHERE tbl_artwork.art workID = tbl_artworkmedi um.artworkID
AND tbl_artworkmedi um.mediumID = tbl_medium.medi umID
AND `forSale` = 'Yes'
The characters that indicate a field look different then the quotes around 'type',
I'm not sure what character you're using but the others kick back. Could that be your problem?

that could be it, i'm using mysql in phpmyadmin, and i've added all of the other fields automatically, but had to type in 'type' myself. I'll have a good look at the keyboard and see if i can find a match for the other character. Thanks.

After applying security patch MS03-031 (Sql server ver 8.00.818) a query that used to execute in under 2 seconds, now takes over 8 Minutes to complete. Any ideas on what the heck might be going on?

Ok, before I headbutt the computer... don't know why when I add criteria in a query, I get an 'invalid procedure call'.

I am using MS Office Access 2003 (11.5614). My basic question is can I run a query of a query datasheet. I want to use more that one criteria and can not get that query to work. I thought I might be able to accomplish the results in two steps by using two queries. If this is possible how can I do it? Thank you, Stan Hanna

This is a new problem for me: I have some queries that open very slowly in design view. My benchmark query takes about 20 minutes to open in design view. That same query takes about 20 minutes to open in datasheet view. As an experiment, I deleted all rows in all tables; after that, the query took only seconds to open in both design view and datasheet view. From these facts, I conclude that Access is evaluating the query when I go to...

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.
