I need samples of how to simplify Access's graphically nested Joins!

2 New Member
My current employer has MANY graphically created NESTED JOIN queries. They drive me crazy with their complexities and normally have duplications. Is there a a reference some place on-line or a textbook that will serve as a good help in re-constructing them into a more straight-forward simpler format.

I would just like to have a reference showing the typical way to simplify the complex query designer results.

I found the following posting dated: November 15th, 2006:

Someone needed help decyphering:
INNER JOIN (People INNER JOIN UserList ON UserList.User_U sername=Activit yCalls.Username )
ON People.Person_I D=UserList.Pers on_ID

Hi Nick
This might work:

FROM UserList U
INNER JOIN ActivityCalls A
ON U.User_Username = A.Username
INNER JOIN People P
ON U.User_PersonID = P.Person_ID

This is great but I would like to see sum mo!

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I'm curious about the computational complexity of a query I have. The query contains multiple nested self left joins, starting with a simple select, then doing a self left join with the results, then doing a self left join with those results, etc. What puzzles me is that the time required for the query seems to grow exponentially as I add additional left joins, which I didn't expect. I expected the inner select to return about 25...

I've got maybe a stupid question, concerning the difference between a simple select and a select for update ( otherwise identical ). The plan for such selects - in a DPF enviropnment - are completely different. Hash joins are used and the select without update returns fairly quickly, while the select for update involves large nested loop joins. Am I missing some obvious point about why a hj would not be used in a select for update?

We have DB2 UDB v8.1 fixpak3 on AIX 5. Production and Development configuarations (at least for DB2) are identical albeit production is a 2-way server while development has only one processor. Tables and indexes have the same schema. In fact, the dev database was taken from a prod backup recently. Size of the tables differ slightly. Yet, on a given query (with 4 tables joined), it took 30-50 times longer to run in prod than on development....

Hi, I'm having problems constructing a nested join. It's quite complex, so here's a simplfied example of the problem. Any thoughts on what I'm doig wrong - or if I've got the whole approach wrong are welcome. I've two tables :- one is a contact table contacting name, addresses etc. Three of the fields represent users - 'created by', 'last modified by' and 'owner'.

Anyone know how to prevent Access 2002 from automatically breaking all the incorrect joins in a query and then automatically saving the broken query? This is what I would call stupid design behaviour...Access takes your 'broken' query and auto saves it as what I call a 'corrupt' query... 1. Rename some BE tables and attributes 2. Open your FE 3. Open a query in design view that you know to now have broken names

Hi all, I am trying to delete a subset of records (identified using my InsertRemovePairs query) from a table names TradesDone.
