SQL Query Query

Hello,

I am having a problem writing an SQL query.

The tables I have are

History

id transaction_id state_id
1 1 1
2 1 2
3 1 3
4 1 5
5 2 1
6 2 2
7 2 3
8 2 4

And

Transactions

id
1
2

I want to be able to return a result that provides me only with the
transaction_id' s that do not contain a tuple in history where they have a
state_id of 4. So for example in the table above I would only want
transaction_id 1.

Thank you very much for any help and pointers you can give me

Cheers Chris

select Transactions.id from Transactions
left join History on History.transac tion_id=Transac tions.id
and History.state_i d=4
where History.transac tion_id is null;

I need to extract data from this table to find the lowest prices of each product as of today. The product will be listed/grouped by the name only, discarding the product code - I use SUBSTRING(ProductName, 1, CHARINDEX('(', ProductName)-2).

Hi, I try to write an asp query form that lets client search any text-string and display all pages in my web server that contain the text. I have IIS 6.0 on a server 2003.

I have two tables, WIDGETS and VERSIONS. The WIDGETS table has descriptive information about the widgets while the VERSIONS table contains IDs relating to different iterations of those widgets over the years. The idea is that from any widget in the database you can look forward and backward to see different versions of the widget through the years. Here are the tables: WIDGETS widget_id name

I have designed a form that has 5 different list boxes where the selections within each are used as criteria in building a dynamic query. Some boxes are set for multiple selections but these list boxes do not necessarily need to have a selection made to be used in the dynamic query. In essence the form can have selections made in all or none of its list boxes to form the dynamic query I am looking to get some feedback in reference to...

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

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,...
