Avoiding null and duplicate values using model clause

Hi,
I am trying to use model clause to get comma seperated list of data : following is the scenario:
testuser>select * from test1;
ID VALUE
1 Value1
2 Value2
3 Value3
4 Value4
5 Value4
6
7 value5
8
8 rows selected.
the query I have is:
testuser>with src as (
2 select distinct id,value
3 from test1
4 ),
5 t as (
6 select distinct substr(value,2) value
7 from src
8 model
9 ignore nav
10 dimension by (id)
11 measures (cast(value as varchar2(100)) value)
12 rules
13 (
14 value[any] order by id =
15 value[cv()-1] || ',' || value[cv()]
16 )
17 )
18 select max(value) oneline
19 from t;
ONELINE
Value1,Value2,Value3,Value4,Value4,,value5,
what I find is that this query has duplicate value and null (',,') coming in as data has null and duplicate value. Is there a way i can avoid the null and the duplicate values in the query output?
thanks,

Hi,
Try this code.
with
t as ( select substr(value,2)value,ind
        from test1
        model
        ignore nav
        dimension by (id)
        measures (cast(value as varchar2(100)) value, 0 ind)
        rules
        ( ind[any]= instr(value[cv()-1],value[cv()]),
        value[any] order by id = value[cv()-1] || CASE WHEN value[cv()] IS NOT NULL
                                           and ind[cv()]=0     THEN ',' || value[cv()] END
select max(value) oneline
from t;
SQL> select * from test1;

Using MODEL clause and COUNT for not numeric data columns....

Hi ,
Is it possible somehow to use the COUNT function to transform a non-numeric data column to a numeric data value (a counter) and be used in a MODEL clause....????
For example , i tried the following in the emp table of SCOTT dataschema with no desired result...
SQL> select deptno , empno , hiredate from emp;
DEPTNO EMPNO HIREDATE
    20 7369 18/12/1980
    30 7499 20/02/1981

    30 7900 03/12/1981
    20 7902 03/12/1981
    10 7934 23/01/1982
14 rows selected Now , i want to use the MODEL clause in order to 'predict' the number of employees who were going to be hired in the 1990 per deptno...
So , i have constructed the following query which , as expected, does not return the desired results....
SQL>   select deptno , month , year , count_
2    from
3    (
4    select deptno , to_number(to_char(hiredate,'mm')) month ,
5                to_number(to_char(hiredate , 'rrrr')) year , count(ename) count_
6    from emp
7    group by deptno , to_number(to_char(hiredate,'mm')) ,
8                to_number(to_char(hiredate , 'rrrr'))

    DEPTNO      MONTH       YEAR     COUNT_
        30          5       1981          1
        30         12       1981          1
        30          2       1981          2
        30          9       1981          2
        30          1       1990
        20          4       1987          1
        20          5       1987          1
        20          4       1981          1
        20         12       1981          1
        20         12       1980          1
        20          1       1990
        10          6       1981          1
        10         11       1981          1
        10          1       1982          1
        10          1       1990 As you see , the measures for the 1990 year is null...because the measure(the count(deptno)) is computed via the group by and not by the MODEL clause...
How should i transform the above query... so as the "count_[1,1982]+count_[11,1982]" will return non-null results per deptno...????
Thanks , a lot

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Union two tables with diffrent count of fields with null and float value

Hello,
i want to union two tables, first one with 3 fields and second one with 4 fields (diffrent count of fields).
I can add null value at end of first select but it does not work with float values in second table. Value form second table is convert to integer.
For example:
select null v1 from sessions
union
select 0.05 v1 from sessions
result is set of null and 0 value.
As workaround i can type:
select null+0.0 v1 from sessions
union
select 0.05 v1 from sessions
or simple change select's order.
Is any better/proper way to do this? Can I somehow set float field type in first select?
Best regards,
Lukasz.
WIN XP, MAXDB 7.6.03

Hi Lukasz,
in a UNION statement the first statement defines the structure (number, names and types of fields) of the resultset.
Therefore you have to define a FLOAT field in the first SELECT statement in order to avoid conversion to VARCHAR.
Be aware that NULL and 0.0 are not the same thus NULL+0.0 does not equal NULL.
In fact NULL cannot equal to any number or character value at all.
BTW: you may want to use UNION ALL to avoid the search and removal of duplicates - looks like your datasets won't contain duplicates anyhow...

Unable to display data no entry in the table without using Model clause

Hi,
I've an urgent requirement described below :
The previously posted Question has been answerted using Model Clause:
Is there any way out to solve it without using Model clause:
I've a table named as "sale" consisting of three columns : empno, sale_amt and sale_date.
(Please ref. The table script with data as given below)
Now if I execute the query :
"select trunc(sale_date) sale_date, sum(sale_amt) total_sale from sale group by trunc(sale_date) order by 1"
then it displays the data for the dates of which there is an entry in that table. But it does not display data for the
date of which there is no entry in that table.
If you run the Table script with data in your schema, then u'll see that there is no entry for 28th. Nov. 2009 in
sale table. Now the above query displays data for rest of the dates as its are in sale table except for 28th. Nov. 2009.
But I need its presence in the query output with a value of "sale_date" as "28th. Nov. 2009" and that of "total_sale" as
"0".
Is there any means to get the result as I require?
Please help ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

NULL and Space value in ABAP

Hi All,
I like to know, is it NULL and Space value is same in ABAP, if it is not how to check null value.
Thank you.
Senthil

everything is correct though some answers are not correct.
A Database NULL value represents a field that has never been stored to database - this saving space, potentially.
Usually all SAP tables are stored with all fields, empty fields are stored with their initial value.
But: If a new table append is created and the newly-added fields do not have the 'initial value' marked in table definition, Oracle will just set NULL values for them.
as mentioned: There is no NULL value to be stored in an ABAP field. The IS NULL comparison is valid only for WHERE clause in SELECT statement. WHERE field = space is different from WHERE field IS NULL. That's why you should check for both specially for appended table fields.
If a record is selected (fulfilling another WHERE condition) into an internal table or work area, NULL values are convertted to their initial values anyway.
Hope that sheds some light on the subject!
regards,
Clemens

Pivoting using Model Clause Vs pivoting using Aggregate Fun(Case) statement

Hi,
I just wanted to know which option is better for pivoting the data if the data is like:
Grp1 Grp2 Day_week Sales
1 1 Sun 200
1 1 Mon 100
1 2 Sun 1000
and so on...
The output should be:
Grp1 Grp2 Sun Mon ......
1 1 200 100.....
1 2 1000 NULL....
I have tested the same using sum(decode...) method and also model clause:
select grp1, grp2, sum(decode(day_week,'SUN',sales)) SUNDAY , sum(decode(day_week,'MON',sales)) MONDAY from pivot
group by grp1, grp2
order by grp1, grp2
select grp1, grp2, sun , mon, tue, wed, thr, fri, sat
from pivot
model -- UNIQUE SINGLE REFERENCE
return updated rows
partition by (grp1, grp2)
dimension by ( day_week)
measures( result, 0 mon, 0 tue, 0 wed, 0 thr,0 fri, 0 sat, 0 sun)
RULES upsert
mon[0]= sales['MON'],
tue[0]= sales['TUE'],
wed[0]= sales['WED'],
thr[0]= sales['THR'],
fri[0]= sales['FRI'],
sat[0]= sales['SAT'],
sun[0]= sales['SUN']
) order by grp1, grp2
There are 4K records in the table. The first query is taking app (.125 seconds) and the second query (.230 seconds).
Pls tell how the model clause can give better performance and I want to use it for pivoting in all my APIs.
Regards
Rajiv

> I read somewhere while searching on net.
And now you can't find it anymore? I wouldn't believe anything you read somewhere while searching on net, unless it has some kind of proof attached.
> You pls tell is it so or it depends upon volume of data.
Also i tested on some data and reults were better in
case of using normal startegy rather than model.(case
provided above).
So you have tested it yourself already. The model clause is great in a few cases (string aggregation, calculating values based on calculated values), but this doesn't seem to be one of them. On 11g you might want to consider the PIVOT operator.

select * from table_a where col_a is null
Thanks

Not in Oracle, no. col_a = NULL and col_a IS NULL are logically distinct clauses. If you are dealing with NULL's, you absolutely must use three-valued logic in your statements.
Depending on what you are doing, you may be able to throw an NVL on col_a to ensure a non-NULL value is returned.

Is null and regular value in where ($variable)

is there any polibility to create select depend on value in where ?
select count(x) where y = $variablebut if variable is NULLit doesn't work cause must be IS NULL or IS NOT
select count(x) where y is $variableIs there any posibility to make it working with null and regular variable?

try:
select count(x) from <yourtable> where nvl(y,<not_possible_value>) = nvl($variable,<not_possible_value>);where <not_possible_value> is a value that is not possible for column y.
E.g. if y always is a positive number you could use the value -1.

How to create a PDF with substituted key-value and table-values using a template language

I have about 50 key-values and 10 table-values that I want to substitute into a formatted report template (language can be anything standard, would create a small number of these templates) and then use an Adobe tool to substitute the values into the template and produce a PDF. Preferably the template language would permit some basic conditional logic (if <key #> has value <value> then <show key label here> and <key value here> in close spatial proximity on the form) and permit embedding of a static graphic logo, text with fonts/styles, etc. to produce a polished report but also handle pagination (e.g. enable page breaks or numbering) to be handled automatically.
What is a recommended template language and product to accomplish this?

Are you thinking of something like a blank form that you can enter information into, save, and send to another user? If so, what you want is possible. If you want more information, post again and include more details about how you want to use it and how the recipient will use it.

Is there any function module to get vc characteristics and its value using material number?

Hi Experts,
I am using BAPI_CLASS_GET_CHARACTERISTICS, BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES to get characteristics description and its values.
Is there any other Function module to pull this values using material number?
Thanks in Advance.
Ramkumar

Have you tried this BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL
Import parameters
MATNR value in the OBJECTKEY
MARA in OBJECTTABLE
Class name in CLASSNUM
'001' in CLASSTYPE
You will get the Class Characteristics data into these tables:
ALLOCVALUESNUM
ALLOCVALUESCHAR

1.2.0 reads TNSNAMES.ORA file multiple times and duplicates values in Alias

Since upgrading to 1.2.0.29.98 (clean install on Win XP SP 2), I have noticed that SQL Developer appears to be reading the TNSNAMES.ORA file multiple times. This results in the Network Alias pop-list on the TNS connection type to have duplicate values, although the number of duplicates for each entry varies widely - from four for the least that I saw and 252 for the most (assuming I counted that right :) ). We have approximately 270 entries in our TNSNAMES.ORA and the first entry in the file appears in the Network Alias list four times and the last entry in the file appears in the list 48 times.
To be honest, I switched to Basic JDBC connections with 1.1 and only noticed the problem because of some network performance issues - I thought that SQL Developer had hung and I switched on the debugging and could see that it was looping through the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Now that the network performance issues have been resolved, it still takes a little while to open the new connection window, but it is liveable, so I don't know whether the problem is 1.2 specific or not.

Sue,
I assume from a bit of testing, that "each tns file on the system" means each file in the TNS_ADMIN location that starts with TNSNAMES.ORA.
I set my TNS_ADMIN to a local location and copied the current TNSNAMES.ORA from the network location (and chopped it down to a handful of entries). When I restarted SQL Developer I only had a single copy of each alias. If I copied TNSNAMES.ORA to "Copy of TNSNAMES.ORA" I still only had a single copy of each alias. If I copied TNSNAMES.ORA to TNSNAMES.ORA.TXT I then had two copies of each alias.
Unfortunately, I don't have any say in the maintenance of the network TNS_ADMIN location and it has almost 200 backup copies of the tns file, typically named TNSNAMES.ORA.YYYYMMDD.
My TNS_ADMIN setting is done as a Windows environment variable. I do not have any TNS_ADMIN setting in my registry.

Hi,
Here is a global tutorial about Web Services :
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7350
There are exemples at the end of the document : webservicesdemo.zip
Please check the instruction for using web services given in the Readme.doc, it could be the source of your problem.
Also, mind that you need the same language for you labVIEW version than the one used to create the Web service VIs.

Hash value and duplicate value

Hi,
1. I get hash value in my report for the fields which has zero value. So how can show zero value instead of hash value.
2. Then i do have duplicate values for few fields and for this duplicate value report is showing no value. And i want to display value of the fields even if there is dupliacte values.
How is this two options possible.

Hi Bhanu & Anil,
This BEx has taken away my peace from last few days. But iam enjoying with it.
Anyways.. here is the example
Shopping Cart no|Creation date|end date|start time|endtime
1000574 | 06/12/2005 | 06/14/2005 | 09:19:02 | 15:39:03
        | 06/15/2005 | 06/21/2005 | 17:34:06 | 18:00:00
        |            |            | 18:01:00 | 18:15:00
1000678 | #          | #          | #        | #
Here u can see third record of SC 1000574 has same start date and end date thus that fileds remain blank.
And SC 1000678 is an example when fileds value is blank and it gives hash vaue

Rohini
