SQL Server 2000奇怪的子查询问题

发布于 2024-10-29 03:41:36 字数 781 浏览 0 评论 0原文

有一种奇怪的行为让我发疯。

我在旧的 SQL Server 2000 数据库中有一个用户表和一个权限表。 这个数据库一团糟,很多表没有PK,表之间没有关系......但我无法修复它(老实说,我不认为这与我遇到的问题有关)。

Users:
IDRecord -> PK money
-- other fields

Permissions:
IDRecord -> money (is not a PK)
IDUser   -> money (refers to Users.IDRecord WITHOUT FK)
Function -> varchar
-- other fields

我想在没有任何许可的情况下获取用户的用户ID。

我的第一个方法是写一些东西:

select distinct IDRecord 
from Users
where IDRecord not in (
    select IDUser from Permissions
)

不返回任何行。

但我知道有些用户没有权限,所以我编写了第二个查询:

select distinct U.IDRecord 
from Users U
left join Permissions P
    on P.IDUser = U.IDRecord
where P.IDRecord is null

正确返回没有权限的用户。

那么,问题出在哪里呢?

为什么第一个不起作用?

There's a strange behaviour that is drive me crazy.

I've a table of users and a table of permissions in an old SQL Server 2000 database.
This database is a mess, many tables have no PK and there are no relations between the tables... but I couldn't fix it (and honestly I don't think this is related to the problem I have).

Users:
IDRecord -> PK money
-- other fields

Permissions:
IDRecord -> money (is not a PK)
IDUser   -> money (refers to Users.IDRecord WITHOUT FK)
Function -> varchar
-- other fields

I want to get the User's ids of the users without any permission.

My first approach was to write something as:

select distinct IDRecord 
from Users
where IDRecord not in (
    select IDUser from Permissions
)

That returns me no rows.

But I KNOW there are users without permissions, so I write a second query:

select distinct U.IDRecord 
from Users U
left join Permissions P
    on P.IDUser = U.IDRecord
where P.IDRecord is null

that correctly returns the users without permissions.

So, where's the problem?

Why the first doesn't work?

这是预期的行为。
这是预期的,因为 SQL 具有三值逻辑
换句话说:对于那些没有权限的用户,子查询不会返回任何结果(NULL)。
在这些情况下,您的 WHERE 条件不满足,因为值永远不能等于或不等于 NULL。

替代方案:
1)使用LEFT JOIN(正如您所做的那样),或者
2) 使用 NOT EXISTS,例如:

SELECT DISTINCT IDRecord 
  FROM Users u
 WHERE NOT EXISTS (
         SELECT 1 
           FROM Permissions p 
          WHERE p.IDUser = u.IDRecord
       );

编辑:如果您不小心,3VL 将如何咬您的更多详细信息:
如果您执行以下操作,可能会出现违反直觉的结果...

...
WHERE a_column <> 'some value';

突然,a_column 为 NULL 的行从您的结果中消失。
要找回它们,您可以这样做:

...
WHERE (a_column <> 'some value' OR a_column IS NULL);

This is expected behavior.
It is expected because SQL has three-valued logic.
In other words: for those users who have no permissions, there is no result (NULL) returned by your subquery.
Your WHERE condition is not satisfied in those cases because a value can never equal nor not equal NULL.

Alternatives:
1) use a LEFT JOIN (as you have done), or
2) use NOT EXISTS, e.g.:

SELECT DISTINCT IDRecord 
  FROM Users u
 WHERE NOT EXISTS (
         SELECT 1 
           FROM Permissions p 
          WHERE p.IDUser = u.IDRecord
       );

Edit: More detail on how 3VL can bite you if you're not careful:
A possibly counter-intuitive result occurs if you do something like this...

...
WHERE a_column <> 'some value';

Suddenly rows where a_column is NULL disappear from your results.
To get them back you can do this:

...
WHERE (a_column <> 'some value' OR a_column IS NULL);
