can anyone show me how to combine these two SQL queries into one

Hello-

i have a fairly big SQL query that is used to display data into a datagrid. Each query grabs data from two seperate databases. Is there anyway to combine these queries into one so all the data appears in 1 datagrid and not 2.

here is the 1st query:

SQL = "SELECT sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 1 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Jan ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 2 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Feb ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 3 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Mar ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 4 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Apr ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 5 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as May ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 6 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Jun ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 7 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Jul ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 8 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Aug ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 9 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Sept ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 10 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Oct ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 11 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Nov ,sum(case when month(pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time) = 12 then pb_report_shippers_lots.quantity else 0 end) as Dec FROM pb_customers INNER JOIN pb_jobs ON pb_customers.customer_id = pb_jobs.customer_id INNER JOIN pb_recipes_sub_recipes ON pb_jobs.recipe_id = pb_recipes_sub_recipes.recipe_id INNER JOIN pb_jobs_lots ON pb_jobs.job_id = pb_jobs_lots.job_id INNER JOIN pb_sub_recipes ON pb_recipes_sub_recipes.sub_recipe_id = pb_sub_recipes.sub_recipe_id INNER JOIN pb_report_shippers_lots ON pb_jobs_lots.intrack_lot_id = pb_report_shippers_lots.intrack_lot_id INNER JOIN pb_report_shippers ON pb_report_shippers_lots.job_id = pb_report_shippers.job_id AND pb_report_shippers_lots.shipper_id = pb_report_shippers.shipper_id WHERE pb_customers.customer_deleted <> 1 AND pb_jobs.job_deleted <> 1 AND pb_jobs_lots.lot_deleted <> 1 AND pb_report_shippers.shipper_date_time between cast('01/01/2003 00:01AM' as datetime) and cast('12/31/2003 23:59PM' as datetime)"

Here is the 2nd query:

SQL = "SELECT ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 1 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Jan , ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 2 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Feb ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 3 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Mar ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 4 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Apr , ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 5 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as May ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 6 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Jun ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 7 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Jul ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 8 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Aug ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 9 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Sept ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 10 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Oct ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 11 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Nov ,ISNULL(sum(case when month(nonconformance.nc_date) = 12 then nonconformance.nc_wafer_qty else 0 end),0) as Dec FROM nonconformance INNER JOIN nc_department on nonconformance.department_id = nc_department.department_id INNER JOIN nc_major_category ON nonconformance.major_category_id = nc_major_category.major_category_id AND nonconformance.status_id <> '5' WHERE nc_department.scrap_category = '1' AND nonconformance.nc_date between cast('01/01/2004 00:01AM' as datetime) and cast('12/31/2004 23:59PM' as datetime)"

I know there has to be someway to combine these into 1. The issue I have is they are in different databases.

ANY HELP would be appreciated.Hi, Andrew,

You may use union query to merge the two sql statements. Make sure they return the same number of columns. If not, add some dummy columns to make them equal(dummy column could be 0 or empty string '')

the issue of diffeent database can be resolved using sytax like
db_name..table_name.
Kind like fully qualified name:)

Take you first query as example: replace 'pb_customers' with 'DatabaseName..pb_customers'.

The query is too big. I am sorry I can't prototype it in my computer. You have to try youself. Let me know if got error message.

Good Luck
