I've got 2 tables with exactly the same structure in the same Sybase database but they're separate tables.
This query works on one of the 2:
select * from table1 where
QUOTA_FIELD >
(SELECT
count(ACCOUNT) FROM
table1 As t1
where SECTOR = t1.SECTOR
AND
STATUS = 'QUOTA'
)
But for the second table I have to change it to this:
select * from table2 as tref where
QUOTA_FIELD >
(SELECT
count(ACCOUNT) FROM
table2 As t2
where tref.SECTOR = t2.SECTOR
AND
STATUS = 'QUOTA'
)
There's a restriction on where this will execute which means it needs to work like in the first query.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the first might work as expected and the second wouldn't?
Since I am not yet allowed to comment, here as an answer to the question "does anyone...?":
No. I couldn't find anyone :)
This first query cannot work correctly, since it compares a column with itself (as long as the column names are all normal ASCII characters and not some similar looking UNICODE ones). Please give a proof that the result of this query is in every case the same as of query 2.
Also, the second query would normally be done like that: where SECTOR = tref.SECTOR
...
You might be looking for something like this in query #1 :
select * from table1 t2 where
QUOTA_FIELD >
(SELECT
count(ACCOUNT) FROM
table1 As t1
where t2.SECTOR = t1.SECTOR
AND
t1.STATUS = 'QUOTA'
)
This explicitly specifies that the table in subquery is joining with the table in outer query ( co-related subquery ).
If this works, use the same idea in query #2
