I am using MS SQL SERVER 2008R2 . i have two tables A and B as
create table A(
id int primary key, name Varchar(20));
create table B(
id int primary key, user_name Varchar(20));
insert into A values(1,'A1');
insert into A values(2,'A2');
insert into A values(3,'A3');
insert into A values(4,'A4');
insert into A values(5,'A5');
Now my problem is :
select A.*
from A left outer join B on A.id = B.id
where B.user_name like '%';
or
select A.*
from A left outer join B on A.id = B.id
where B.user_name like '%%';
Above written query does not return any records even though left table have 5 entries in it. without any filter on right table it works fine.
select A.* from A left outer join B on A.id = B.id
this query will give you out put like this...
id name id user_name
1 A1 NULL NULL
2 A2 NULL NULL
3 A3 NULL NULL
4 A4 NULL NULL
5 A5 NULL NULL
and you are comparing username using like with null
select A.* from A left outer join B on A.id = B.id where B.user_name like '%%';
hence it will not give you any output
you should try following query
select A.*,b.* from A left outer join B on A.id = B.id where (b.user_name like '%%' or b.user_name is null)
In your scenario...first left join is happening it is finding 5 entries and then on that record set sql sever is applying filter of user_name and as user_name for all rows is null..no records are getting displayed.
you can change your query to
select A.* from A left outer join B on A.id = B.id where ISNULL(B.user_name,'') like '%%';
您正在使用通配符来比较空值,使用此,
SELECT a.* FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN b ON a.id = b.id WHERE b.user_name LIKE '%' OR b.user_name IS NULL;
Since all values in table B are NULL
, any wildcard match on NULL
values will return NULL
.
So the condition where B.user_name like '%';
translates into where NULL like '%';
which evaluates to NULL as NULL cannot be compared with any value.
select A.* from A left outer join B on
A.id = B.id where COALESCE(B.user_name,'') like '%%';
select A.* from A left outer join B on
A.id = B.id where COALESCE(B.user_name,'') like '%';

Note that the COALESCE
is ANSI, and therefore supported in Oracle, SQL Server and PostGres and does shortcut evaluation. n
Edit: Based on new information that this same query should work in all SQL Server, PostGres and Oracle. I am changing the SQL query to use
COALESCE
instead which is supported in allUnless you use
ISNULL()
and check like thiswhere ISNULL(B.user_name,'') like '%';
select A.* from A left outer join B on A.id = B.id where ISNULL(B.user_name,'') like '%%'; select A.* from A left outer join B on A.id = B.id where ISNULL(B.user_name,'') like '%';
See this fiddle http://sqlfiddle.com/#!6/1ca91/6
Please try this one:
select A.* from A
left outer join (SELECT * FROM B where user_name like '%') X on A.id = X.id;
