Help with multiple case statements

Hello,
I am new to BO. I am on XI 3.0. SQL 2005. In Designer, I am trying to create a measure in a financial universe that would end up being multiple case statements within one select. This is what I tried to do, but it doesn't work with the two case statements. Can I use an ELSE leading into the second CASE WHEN somehow? How can I accomplish this? Sorry for my ignorance!
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 12 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 11 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Holly

Holly,
I don't know enough about your data or requirement to provide a solution, however, the construct that you post will not work because it causes you to build an object with multiple case statements when only one case statement per object is permitted. From what I see in your code I would be inclined to combine the two statements into one as such:
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month in (11,12) THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales else null END
Thanks,
John

Help with a CASE statement

Please help me with a CASE Statement:
- When ID = 15, 16, 17, 18 then "Bad"
- when ID = 19, then "Average"
- when ID = 21, then "Good"
- else "Null"
Thank you!!

Well the 1st thing to do would be to correct my poor spelling... change    Delault : to Default :
Don't know why you would get an error stating "The result of selection formula must be a boolean". It's working fine on my machine.
If your ID field is numbers stored text you have a couple different options...
1) Convert the ID to a number...
Select ToNumber({home.noone_ID})
2) Wrap the ID values in double quotes...
   Case "15", "16", "17", "18" :
      "BAD"
Even if this were your problem... the error should be something other than the boolean thing...

Help With A Case Statement With Multiple Variables

I apologize if this is the incorrect Forum for this type of question, but it was the closest one that I could find. I'm pretty new with SQL and am stuck on this issue. I have roughly 26 dates that I need to compare to one another. Each date is tied to a step code. I also have a Stop value that is tied directly to the "max date" of the step codes. So, I need to compare 30 dates against one another to 1st - ID the max date; 2nd - ID if the Stop value is correct; 3rd - if the stop value is incorrect, identify what the correct value would be.
At first, this seemed like it wouldn't be that hard. I wrote a query that found the max date for each step code. Then I realized that multiple step codes could have the same date. So, I tried using this case statement, but I did not get the expected results. Is there a more efficient way of getting what I need? This code seems like it's not necessary and probably the source of my issue.
CASE
WHEN FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS1.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS2.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS3.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS4.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS5.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS6.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS7.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS8.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS9.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS10.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS11.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS12.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS13.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS14.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS15.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS16.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS17.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS18.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS19.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS20.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS21.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS22.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS23.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND FS25.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE > FS24.ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE AND L.FORECLOSURE_STOP_CODE <= '8' THEN '9'
ELSE 'UH OH'
END AS "CHANGE FC STOP TO"
Any assistance is appreciated!

I think Igor pointed out a working solution before.
Applying it at your examples (you missed the operator after STOP_CODE, I assume it =):
CASE
WHEN FS25 = GREATEST(FS25, FS24, FS23) AND STOP_CODE = '9' THEN '9'
ELSE 'UH OH'
END AS 'CHANGE STOP CODE TO'
{code}
Be careful at the second example. You are checking:
{code:sql}
FS25 > FS24 OR FS25 IS NOT NULL AND FS24 IS NULL AND FS25 > FS23
OR
FS25 IS NOT NULL AND FS23 IS NULL AND STOP_CODE = '9'
{code}
Remember that AND has higher priority among operators than OR so if FS25 is greater than FS24 and FS23 the condition will be true even if STOP_CODE is not equal 9.

Need some help with a case statement implementation

I am having trouble using a CASE statement to compare values and then display the results. The other issue is that i want to put these results in a separate column somehow.
Heres how the code would look:
SELECT "Task"."Code",
"Stat" = CASE WHEN "Task.Code" = 1 THEN string
....and so on
I wanted to make "Stat" the new column for the results, and string represents the string to be assigned if 1 was the value for code. I keep getting syntax error, any help would be nice.

This is a lot easier than you might think.
1) First, move another column of "Code" to your workspace.
2) Click on the fx button and then on the BINS tab.
3) Click on "Add BIN" and with the operand on "is equal to/is in," input 1 and then click "OK."
4) Name this what you had for "string."
Repeat for all the different values you want to rename as another "string" value.
5) Finally, check the "custom heading" checkbox, and rename this column "Stat" as you indicated.
That's it.

Help with Switch-Case Statement

How do you get this in a switch-case statement or work with it?

          else (age > 99 && age < 110) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 100s are called centenarian.");
               }Thanks~

As per Java Specification, swtich case expects an integer and boolean cannot be used as param for switch.
In your case switch can be used like this.
int index = age /10;
switch(index) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
Your First case
break;
case 7:
your second case
break;
case 8:
third case
break;
case 9:
fourth case
break;
default:
fifth case
break;
Take note of the break statements. Its very important. But I wont prefer in this case. Code looks awkward and is not so meaningful.....

Your function had errors but maybe that was copy paste. The way you wrote your code is way to complicated. This should work for you:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_28_get_status (p_status IN VARCHAR2)
   RETURN NUMBER
AS
   v_status   NUMBER;
BEGIN
   IF    p_status IN
            ('TO_TABLE', 'ERROR_TABLE', 'TO_FILE', 'ERROR_FILE',
             'SEND_RENAME_OK')
      OR p_status LIKE '%SEND%'
   THEN
      v_status := 1;
   ELSE
      v_status := 0;
   END IF;
   RETURN v_status;
END fn_28_get_status;
SELECT OID OID,
          apex_item.md5_checksum (OID, jobid, gdc, status)
       || apex_item.hidden (2, OID)
       || apex_item.display_and_save (3, jobid) jobid,
       apex_item.display_and_save (4, gdc) gdc,
       apex_item.display_and_save (5, bday) bday, num_rows num_rows,
       status current_status,
       CASE
          WHEN fn_28_get_status (status) = 1
             THEN apex_item.select_list_from_lov
                                     (9,
                                      status,
                                      'WORKLOAD_STATUS_FULL_LIST',
                                      NULL,
                                      'YES',
                                      NULL,
                                      '-Select-'
          ELSE status
       END new_status
FROM scp_workload
WHERE jobid = :p28_jobidYou should not expect the others will debug you code. They don't have your objects to test.

Need help with this CASE statement

Hi everyone,
I would like to create a CASE that references another view and uses fields in that view to create a new field in a new view.
The fields I am working with are called LEVEL_CD and AVAILABLE_AMT.
In this case I would like to create a field called AVAILABLE_AMT (in my new view) that inserts the AVAILABLE_AMT from the old view into the new field only if the LEVEL_CD = 1. If the LEVEL_CD is anything else but 1 I would like to insert a 0 into my new
AVAILABLE AMOUNT field.
This is what I have so far and it doesn't seem to work:
CASE WHEN old_view.LEVEL_CD = 1 THEN old_view.AVAILABLE_AMT
WHEN old_view.LEVEL_CD <> 1 THEN 0 END AS AVAILABLE_AMT
This just gives me zeroes in every record. Can anybody spot what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

SELECT <columns>,CASE WHEN old_view.LEVEL_CD
=
1
THEN old_view.AVAILABLE_AMT
ELSE 0 END AS AVAILABLE_AMTFROM old_view.PK JOIN new_view.PK WHERE....PS.PK -Primary Key

Help: How to include logic in multiple CASE statements.

Hello Folks,
I have this Query where am converting from Access to Oracle. Am little confused on how to write multiple CASE statements.Apprecitae your help.
    round(Sum(IIf(recovery_flg = 'NONCASH FEE RECEIVED',
                     IIf(feepaid < FEE, FEE - FEEPAID, FEE),
                     0)),
             2)

*(1) you can nest CASE* - CASE in a CASE
CASE WHEN ecovery_flg = 'NONCASH FEE RECEIVED' THEN
     CASE WHEN feepaid < FEE THEN ....
     END
ENDor
*(2) you can try to rewrite it as one CASE*
CASE WHEN ecovery_flg = 'NONCASH FEE RECEIVED' AND feepaid < FEE THEN...
     WHEN ecovery_flg = 'NONCASH FEE RECEIVED' AND feepaid >= FEE THEN ...
END

How is an index going to help in a query with no where clause or join?
Rhetorical question but it brings to light the problem. This query is going to produce a table/index scan precisely because there's no where clause.
You need to change the way you are thinking about the problem. The problem isn't that you need a better performing case statement, the problem is that you need to minimize the number of records you ask SQL Server to read from disk. You do that
by using a where clause or by joining to a smaller table.
Here's one option which should give you the desired results while performing much better:
create index idx_period_id on Table1 (period_id)
create index idx_pmc on Table1 (pmc) include (period_id)
select (select count(distinct period_id) from Table1 where period_id < 350) as Column1,
(select count(distinct period_id) from Table1 where period_id between 351 and 375) as Column2,
(select count(distinct period_id) from Table1 where period_id between 376 and 400) as Column3,
(select count(distinct period_id) from Table1 where period_id between 401 and 450) as Column4,
(select count(distinct period_id) from Table1 where period_id between 451 and 575) as Column5,
(select count(distinct period_id) from Table1 where pmc = 'UVS') as Column6,
(select count(distinct period_id) from Table1 where pmc = 'VAL') as Column7

Need help with the session state value items.

I need help with the session state value items.
Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
in table A.
When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
in table A.
In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
How can I implement this?

You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
For example
SELECT YN_COLUMN
FROM My_TABLE
INTO My_Page_Item
WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

Help with this update statement..

Hi everyone,
I am trying to update a column in a table .I need to update that column
with a function that takes patient_nbr and type_x column values as a parameter.
That table has almost "300,000" records. It is taking long time to complete
almost 60 min to 90 min.
Is it usual to take that much time to update that many records?
I dont know why it is taking this much time.Please help with this update statement.
select get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x) partner_id from test_load;
(it is just taking 20 - 30 sec)
I am sure that it is not the problem with my function.
I tried the following update and merge statements .Please correct me if i am wrong
in the syntax and give me some suggestions how can i make the update statement fast.
update test_load set partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x);
merge into test_load a
using (select patient_nbr,type_x from test_load) b
on (a.patient_nbr = b.patient_nbr)
when matched
then
update
set a.partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(b.patient_nbr,1,9),b.type_x);
there is a index on patient_nbr column
and the statistics are gathered on this table.

Help With Multiple Schemas In Multiple Environments

Dear Oracle Forum:
We have a bit of controversy around the office and I was hoping we could get some expert input to get us on the right track.
For the purposes of this discussion, we have two machines, development and production. Currently, on each machine, we have one database with multiple schemas, say, one for sales data and another for inventory. The sales data has maybe 200 tables and the inventory has another 50. About 12 times a year, once a month, we have a release and move code from dev to prod. The database is accessed by several hundred Pro*C and Pro*Cobol programs for online transaction processing.
The problem comes up when we need to have multiple development environments. If I need to work on something for May that requires the customer address field to be 50 characters and somebody else is working on something for July that requires the customer address field to be 100 characters, we can’t both function in the same schema. We have a method of configuring running programs to attach to a given schema/database. Currently, everything connects to the same place. We were told that we should not have the programs running as the owners of the schemas for some reason so we set up additional users. The SALES schema is accessed with the connect string: SALES_USER/[email protected]. (I don’t know where we got dot world from but that is not the current discussion.)
One of the guys said that we should have 12 copies of the database running, which is kind of painful to think about in my opinion. Oracle is not a lightweight product and there are any number of ancillary processes that would have to be duplicated 12 times.
My recommendation is that we have 12 schemas each for sales and inventory with 12 users each to access them. We would have something like JAN_SALES_USER, FEB_SALES_USER, etc. Each user would have synonyms set up for each of the tables it is interested in. When my program connects as MAY_SALES_USER, I could select from the customer table and I would get my 50 character address field. When the other user connects as JUL_SALES_USER, he would get his 100 character address field. Both of us would not know anything different.
Another idea that came up is to have a logon trigger that would set the current schema for that user to the appropriate base schema. When JUL_SALES_USER logs in, the current schema would be set to JUL_SALES, etc. This would simplify things by allowing us to avoid having something like 2400 synonyms to maintain (which could be automated without too much difficulty) but it would complicate things by requiring a trigger.
There are probably other ways to go about this we have not considered as yet. Any input you can give will be appreciated.
Regards,
/Bob Bryan

I'd rather see you with 12 schemas than with 12 databases. Unless you have lots of CPUs to spare ... and lots of cash to pay for those extra CPU licenses.
Then again, I'd take it one step further and ask to investigate the base design. There should be little reason to change the schema based on time. Indeed, from what little I know of your app, I'd have to ask whether adding a 'date' column and appropriate views or properly coded SQL statements might simplify things. Interesting. If we were to have one big Customer table with views for each month, how would we handle the case where the May people have to see 50 character address and July have to see a 100 character address field. I guess we could have MAY_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(50) and JULY_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(100) and take care to make sure that people connecting as May can only see the May columns, etc. This is simpler than multiple schemas?
I may have overly simplified things in my effort to get something down that would not require too much explanation. The big thing is that multiple people are doing development and they have to be independent of each other. If we were to drop a column for July, the May people will have trouble compiling if we don’t keep things separate. It is not a case of making the data available. The data in development is something we cook up to allow us to test. The other part is the code we compile now will be released to production one of these times. In production, there is only a need for one database.
We are moving from another database product where multiple databases are effectively different sets of files. We have lots of disk space so multiple databases were no problem. Oracle is such a powerful product; I can’t believe there is not some way to set up something similar.

Having Trouble with nested Case Statements

Hi Folks,
I'm having trouble getting my head round nested case statements. For the life of me I cannot see what I'm missing here (unless my approach is all wrong).
Any help much appreciated.
Script:
set serveroutput on format wrapped
set feedback off
set linesize 150
DECLARE
/* Set supported version here */
ora_version VARCHAR2(4);
unsupp_version EXCEPTION;
/* Archive Log Info */
db_log_mode VARCHAR2(12);
BEGIN
SELECT SUBSTR(VERSION, 1, 4)
INTO ora_version
FROM v$instance;
SELECT log_mode
INTO db_log_mode
FROM v$database;
CASE
WHEN ora_version = '10.2' THEN
DECLARE
TYPE t_db IS RECORD(
dflsh VARCHAR2(3),
dcscn NUMBER);
v_db t_db;
BEGIN
CASE
WHEN db_log_mode = 'ARCHIVELOG' THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT INITCAP(flashback_on), current_scn FROM v$database'
INTO v_db;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Flashback On : ' || v_db.dflsh);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Current SCN : ' || v_db.dcscn);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Log Mode : ' || db_log_mode);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Version : ' || ora_version);
END;
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Log Mode : ' || db_log_mode);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Version : ' || ora_version);
END CASE;
END;
WHEN ora_version = '9.2' THEN
DECLARE
TYPE t_db IS RECORD(

v_db t_db;
BEGIN
CASE

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Current SCN : ' || v_db.dcscn);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Log Mode : ' || db_log_mode);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Version : ' || ora_version);
END;
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Log Mode : ' || db_log_mode);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Version : ' || ora_version);
END CASE;
END;
ELSE
RAISE unsupp_version;
END CASE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN unsupp_version THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Unsupported Version '||ora_version||' !');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('');
END;
set linesize 80
set feedback on
set serveroutput off
Gives errors:

Hi,
Never write, much less post, unformatted code.
Indent the code to show the extent of multi-line structures like BEGIN and CASE.
For example:
DECLARE
     /* Set supported version here */
     ora_version       VARCHAR2 (4);
     unsupp_version       EXCEPTION;
     /* Archive Log Info */
     db_log_mode      VARCHAR2 (12);
BEGIN
     SELECT     SUBSTR(VERSION, 1, 4)
     INTO     ora_version
     FROM     v$instance;
     SELECT     log_mode
     INTO     db_log_mode
     FROM     v$database;
     CASE
         WHEN ora_version = '10.2' THEN
          DECLARE
              TYPE t_db IS RECORD(
                         dflsh     VARCHAR2(3),
                         dcscn      NUMBER);
              v_db t_db;
          BEGIN
              CASE
                  WHEN db_log_mode = 'ARCHIVELOG' THEN
                   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT INITCAP(flashback_on), current_scn FROM v$database'
                                       INTO v_db;
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Flashback On : ' || v_db.dflsh);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Current SCN : ' || v_db.dcscn);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Log Mode : ' || db_log_mode);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Version : ' || ora_version);
              END;
...The code above is what you posted, with some whitespace added.
The error is much clearer; the last CASE statement concludes with END, but CASE blocks always have to conclude with END CASE .
Why are you using a nested BEGIN block in the code above? Are you plannning to add an EXCEPTION handler later?

Help with a CASE!!!

I did started a thread about the same problem this morning but no one couldn't help.
I tried to write it my self , well, still not working out. When i try to ran it, it just freezes........ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 64 in tablespace TEMP
Can someone please see where is my problem with CASE..Im trying to put a case statment into WHERE.........
All I want is if the gl_tr_type = 'SO' then execute the rest in the case statment if the transaction is not 'SO' or 'WE' then cust_name would be blank.......If it's blank then i need N/A inserted there
This is what i need
WHEN gl_tr_type = 'SO' and a.gl_doc = inv_nbr
AND h.inv_cust_bill_to_nbr = g.cust_nbr
and
WHEN gl_tr_type = 'WE' and a.gl_doc = inv_code
AND h.inv_cust_bill_to_nbr = g.cust_nbr
Thank-you very much!!!!

Can someone please see where is my problem with
CASE..Im trying to put a case statment into
WHERE.........The select clause has a quite fixed structure, because it descripts the format of the result set, and the use of case statement add some more flexibility to this structure in order to make some changes to the result set that don't go in opposition with the output structure.

In your "case".
WHERE
CASE WHEN (( a.gl_tr_type = 'SO') AND (h.inv_cust_bill_to_nbr = g.cust_nbr)) THEN h.inv_nbr

/can be expressed with
