Help with SQL function

Hi all,
I have a table with Purchase Order Receipts and Invoice data in it. The problem I have is that the invoice number only appers on one of the receipted lines and the rest of the lines are Null value. What SQL could I use so that it will only show one line for each Purchase Order, Total Quantity Received and search the Invoice column for an invoice number. Therefore, if there is a NULL value on all the lines in the Invoice column related to the Purchase Order then show the Purchase Order and Total Quantity Received.
Fields needed:
Ponum PO_Number,
quantity Quantity_Received,
invoicenum Invoice_Number
From Table:
maximo.matrectrans
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
You may have noticed that this site normally doesn't display multiple spaces in a row.
Whenever you post formatted text (such as query results) on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
Formatting is very important for queries and for output.
Formatting is nice, but not essential, for the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements that you must post for people to understand the problem, re-create it, and test their ideas.  It doesn't look like you've tried to post these.

  • Need help with SQL Query with Inline View + Group by

    Hello Gurus,
    I would really appreciate your time and effort regarding this query. I have the following data set.
    Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
    1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*20.00*-------------19

    4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765--------------------I---------------------30.00-------------19
    Please Ignore '----', added it for clarity
    I am trying to write a query to aggregate paid_amount based on Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number and display description with Invoice_type 'I' when there are multiple records with the same Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number. When there are no multiple records I want to display the respective Description.
    The query should return the following data set
    Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
    1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*10.00*------------19

    The following is my query. I am kind of lost.
    select B.Description, A.sequence_id,A.check_date, A.check_number, A.invoice_number, A.amount, A.vendor_number
    from (
    select sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, sum(paid_amount) amount, vendor_number
    from INVOICE
    group by sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, vendor_number
    ) A, INVOICE B
    where A.sequence_id = B.sequence_id

  • Help with stored function

    Hi...I was wondering if I could get help with this function. How do i write a function to return hours between a begin date and an end date for an employee. Thanks so much

    select (date2-date1)/24 from dual;date2-date1 is amount of days. Divide it by 24 and what? if you multiply it on 24 you will have a chance to know how many hours between these two dates. :-)Don't forget that a DATE type also includes a time component.I suppose it doesn't matter if you did a difference between two dates. The result is always number of days.

  • Help with Date function in sql query....

    My question I guess is really 2...I'm trying to use the date function as a comparison in my WHERE clause in my sql command.
    1. My date format is dd-MMM-yy eg. (01-Apr-06) ... my problem is the Apr is lower case where my field in the database is 01-APR-06 so when I compare 01-Apr-06 to 01-APR-06 is doesnt find any rows. Is there away that I can make the Apr all upper case so that it is APR.
    2. My second problem is getting this "date" field to work in my sql stmt I keep getting errors and it works fine if I take my attempts at trying to compare the date.
    --------------Date Code----------------------------------------------------------
    <%!
    String getFormattedDate(java.util.Date d)
    SimpleDateFormat simpleDate = new SimpleDateFormat("01-MMM-yy");
    return simpleDate.format(d);
    %>
    <%
    java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date();
    String dateString = getFormattedDate (d);
    %>
    ---------------------------Sql statment------------------------------------------
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT name " + " FROM table where rdate = '01-APR-06' order by name ");
    Currently Im just hard coding the date but I need to make it so it uses the date code...so....
    rdate should equal the date from the formatted date in upper case
    something like
    rdate = <%= dateString %>
    Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone may have...

    There are sql functions upper & lower.
    SELECT name  FROM table where upper(rdate) = '01-APR-06' order by name Or you could convert the date to a string, and use the toUpperCase & toLowerCase java.lang.String methods. It doesn't make much of a difference--do you want the java compiler to do the string conversion or the database?

  • Retrive records using ODATA with SQL functions

    Hi,
    I want to use SQL functions (for instance replace function) while retrieving records using ODATA endpoint using javascript. Like this:
    parent.SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords(
    "$select=AccountId,Name,Telephone1&$filter=" + "replace(Telephone1,'-','') eq '12345678'",
    function (accountresults) {
    errorHandler,
    function () {
    But this is ending up with 404 bad request. Is there any way to achieve the same using any other technique?
    blog: <a href="http://technologynotesforyou.wordpress.com">http://technologynotesforyou.wordpress.com</a> | skype: ali.net.pk

    ODATA only supports simple comparison operators, and startswith, endswith and substringof. There are 2 approaches you could use without modifying the data:
    Have a less selective filter in ODATA, then filter the rest of the data in javascript. In this example, you could use ODATA to find all records where the telephone1 field has each of '1', '2', '3' etc, then use javascript to do the replace comparison. It
    depends how many records you have as to whether this is practical
    Write a plugin on RetrieveMultiple that applies the functions you want. This is not necessarily simple, and you'd need to determine how you identify in the query that you want to use a function like replace
    Another option could be to use a plugin when data is saved to strip out the characters you don't want, and store the results in a different field that you could then query on

  • I need help with Analytic Function

    Hi,
    I have this little problem that I need help with.
    My datafile has thousands of records that look like...
    Client_Id Region Countries
    [1] [1] [USA, Canada]
    [1] [2] [Australia, France, Germany]
    [1] [3] [China, India, Korea]
    [1] [4] [Brazil, Mexico]
    [8] [1] [USA, Canada]
    [9] [1] [USA, Canada]
    [9] [4] [Argentina, Brazil]
    [13] [1] [USA, Canada]
    [15] [1] [USA]
    [15] [4] [Argentina, Brazil]
    etc
    My task is is to create a report with 2 columns - Client_Id and Countries, to look something like...
    Client_Id Countries
    [1] [USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexico]
    [8] [USA, Canada]
    [9] [USA, Canada, Argentina, Brazil]
    [13] [USA, Canada]
    [15] [USA, Argentina, Brazil]
    etc.
    How can I achieve this using Analytic Function(s)?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    That's called String Aggregation , and the following site shows many ways to do it:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/StringAggregationTechniques.php
    Which one should you use? That depends on which version of Oracle you're using, and your exact requirements.
    For example, is order importatn? You said the results shoudl include:
    CLIENT_ID  COUNTRIES
    1        USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexicobut would you be equally happy with
    CLIENT_ID  COUNTRIES
    1        Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, USA, Canadaor
    CLIENT_ID  COUNTRIES
    1        Australia, France, Germany, USA, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, China, India, Korea?

    ... How can I achieve this using Analytic Function(s)?The best solution may not involve analytic functions at all. Is that okay?
    If you'd like help, post your best attempt, a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

  • Help with SQL Server 2005 http Endpoint

    I am trying to use mx:webservice to directly connect to a SQL
    Server 2005 HTTP Endpoint. Is this possible. Is there going to be a
    problem with crossdomain issues? If the Endpoint is actively
    listening on port 80 then IIS cannot. So I cannot place
    crossdomain.xml in webserver, how will I overcome this crossdomain
    problem? Am I making this more complicated than it is? If anyone
    has an example it would be appreciated. All I want is a flex2 app
    talking directly to sql server. Seems possible.

    Kent, I see that many others have reported that error (doing
    a google search), but I see no ready answers. I saw something that
    reminded me of a connection string value that I've seen answer some
    problems. May be worth a shot for you: try adding this string to
    the connection string (in "advanced options") for your datasource:
    AuthenticationMethod=Type2
    If it doesn't solve it, remove it. But keep it handy in case
    it ever may help with some other problem.
    Here's one other possible answer for you:

  • Help with Sort function in Terminal

    Hello all... this is my first post on here as I'm having some trouble with some Termianl commands. I'm trying to learn Terminal at the moment as it is but I would appreciate some help with this one....
    I'm trying to sort a rather large txt file into alphabetical order and also delete any duplicates. I've been using the following command in Terminal:
    sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
    but after a while I get the following error
    sort: string comparison failed: Illegal byte sequence
    sort: Set LC_ALL='C' to work around the problem.
    sort: The strings compared were `ariadnetr\345dens\r' and `ariadnetr\345ds\r'.
    What should my initial command be? What is Set LC_ALL='C'?
    Hope you guys can help?

    Various languages distinct sorting - collation - sequences. 
    The characters can and variously do sort differently, depending on what language is involved. 
    Languages here can include the written languages of humans, and a few settings associated with programming languages.  This is all part of what is known as internationalization and localization, and there are are various documents around on that topic.
    The LC_ALL environment variable sets all of the locale-related settings en-mass, including the collation sequence that is established via LC_COLLATE et al, and the sort tool is suggesting selecting the C language collation.
    Here, the tool is suggesting the following syntax:
    LC_ALL=C sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
    This can also be done by exporting the LC_ALL, but it's probably better to just do this locally before invoking the tool.
    Also look at the lines of text in question within the files, and confirm the character encoding of the file.
    Files can have different character encodings, and there's no reliable means to guess the encoding.  For some related information, see the file command:
    file words.txt
    ...and start reading some of the materials on internationalization and localization that are posted around the 'net. Here's Apple's top-level overview.
    In this case, it looks like there's an "odd" character and probably an å character on that line and apparently the Svenska ariadnetrådens. 
    Switching collation can help here, or - if the character is not necessary - removing it via tr or replacing it via sed can be equally effective solutions.
