If-then-else in a select statement

hi, is it possible to make a if-then-else in a select query, something like:
select name, age, if(sex=f,1,2) as my_columnn from table1;
thx.

Hallo,
yes it is possible:
1. with decode
select name, decode(sex, 'f',1,2) as your_column from table1;
2. with case
select name, case when sex='f' THEN 1 ELSE 2 END) as your_column from table1;

IF-ELSE issue in Select Statement

Hello,
I have following query in SQL Server which I am trying to convert to Oracle 11g.
IF '[Param.1]' = 'S' OR '[Param.1]' = 'T' THEN
select * from ULQUEUE
END IF
But when I write the same query in Oracle, it gives error stating Invalid SQL Statement. So how do I incorporate IF-ELSE in Select Statement in Oracle?
Edited by: 967327 on Oct 31, 2012 2:01 PM

Hi,
First of all, remove asterisk sign from the end of line
select * from ULQUEUE;* Second: where you try to put this code? This is not SQL, but PL\SQL so you have to have some variable where you want to put query result like this:
declare
x ULQUEUE%Rowtype;
begin
select *
into x
from ULQUEUE
end; This of course works when your query returns only one row. Otherwise process data in the loop or put result into array.

If else logic in select statement

Can someone kindly explain me how can i use if-else logic in the place of case statement in the below query.

Quick help with a select statement...

Hello all,
I will try to lay this out as simply as possible. I have the following table in my code:
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_table,
 vbeln TYPE likp-vbeln,
 lfdat TYPE likp-lfdat,
 lfart TYPE likp-lfart,
 wadat_ist TYPE likp-wadat_ist,
 vstel TYPE likp-vstel,
 route TYPE likp-route,
 vsbed TYPE likp-vsbed,
 inco1 TYPE likp-inco1,
 inco2 TYPE likp-inco2,
 kunnr TYPE likp-kunnr,
 kunag TYPE likp-kunag,
 brgew TYPE lips-brgew,
 matnr TYPE lips-matnr,
 arktx TYPE lips-arktx,
 meins TYPE lips-meins,
 lgmng TYPE lips-lgmng,
 vgbel TYPE lips-vgbel,
 name2 TYPE adrc-name2,
 street TYPE adrc-street,
 city1 TYPE adrc-city1,
 region TYPE adrc-region,
 post_code1 TYPE adrc-post_code1,
 lifnr TYPE lfa1-lifnr,
 name1 TYPE adrc-name1,
 so_vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln,
 erdat TYPE vbak-erdat,
END OF ty_table.
DATA: it_table TYPE TABLE OF ty_table.
I then run through a select statement as follows:
* Get data from LIKP and LIPS.
SELECT a~vbeln a~lfdat a~lfart a~wadat_ist a~vstel a~route a~vsbed b~brgew a~inco1 a~inco2 a~kunnr a~kunag
 b~matnr b~meins b~lgmng b~vgbel b~arktx INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_table
 FROM likp AS a
 INNER JOIN lips AS b ON b~vbeln = a~vbeln
 WHERE a~vstel IN so_vstel
 AND a~wadat_ist IN so_wadat
 AND b~mtart IN so_mtart.
That works fine. The next statement, in the report, is the following select. When this next select runs it clears all of the fields except for vbeln and erdat. I want c~vbeln to go into it_table-so_vbeln. Now it is going into it_table-vbeln.
* Get Sales order info from VBAK
SELECT c~vbeln c~erdat INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_table
 FROM lips AS a
 INNER JOIN vbap AS b ON b~vbeln = a~vgbel
 AND b~posnr = a~vgpos
 INNER JOIN vbak AS c ON c~vbeln = b~vbeln
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_table
 WHERE a~vgbel = it_table-vgbel.
I then tried to write the select statement by takign out "into corresponding fields" like the following but it gives my a syntax error on (it_table-so_vbeln , it_table-erdat).
* Get Sales order info from VBAK
SELECT c~vbeln c~erdat INTO (it_table-so_vbeln , it_table-erdat)
 FROM lips AS a
 INNER JOIN vbap AS b ON b~vbeln = a~vgbel
 AND b~posnr = a~vgpos
 INNER JOIN vbak AS c ON c~vbeln = b~vbeln
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_table
 WHERE a~vgbel = it_table-vgbel.
Is there a way to write the second select (the select that is pulling data from VBAK) so that it will not clear the other entries in the table? Also, is there a way to combine the two selects into one join?
Regards,
Davis

Select in CASE statement or in IF-THEN-ELSE

I have been struggling for a week with a problem and still can't solve the way I want.
Given four text fields in page : p1_name, p1_place_name, p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter - where user types text and press 'Search' button to see the results.
p1_name finds results in table EMPLOYEES
p1_place_name, p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter find results in table PLACES
the two tables are linked by id_place field
I would like reports to be shown depending on search results:
- if p1_name exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) exist AND EMPLOYEES.id_place = PLACES.id_place then a single report shows only employee row
- if p1_name exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) exist AND EMPLOYEES.id_place # PLACES.id_place then two reports showing 1) employees with name = :p1_name and 2) places with name, number and init_letter = :p1_.....
- if p1_name not exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) exist then a message with 'NO EMPLOYEE' and report shows only places where name, number and init_letter = :p1_.....
- if p1_name exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) not exist then report shows only employee row where name = :p1_name and message with 'NO PLACE'
- if p1_name not exists and (p1_place_name and p1_place_number and p1_place_init_letter) not exist then messages 'NO EMPLOYEE' and 'NO PLACE'
I do NOT know if it is possible, and if it is, then what do I have to use : IF - THEN - ELSE or CASE ?
I tried to build HTML report region conditionally shown for each situation, but they do not work the way I want.
Could you please help me ?
Thank you in advance !

Agree with Dan. Use a dedicated report region for a unique query. Use a rendering condition to determine if that reporting region must be rendered (i.e. whether or not that reporting query must be executed ).
The alternative is creating a function that constructs the SQL query dynamically, based on the user supplied values for page items. Use the function as the source for the reporting region, instead of a SQL statement. (this is similar to creating a ref cursor for a client, minus the actual step to create the ref cursor - instead the source SQL for that ref cursor is returned).
Also consider asking your Apex questions in the dedicated Apex forum on OTN.

Using if the else logic in regards to a select statement for a report

Hi all,
I've a question regarding if then else logic in Oracle.
I'm developing a report application which contains 3 selectlists
- ProductGroup - SubGroup - Manufacturer
Each one containing several values. And are based on eachother, meaning if you select an item from the PG list, you only get the SG items regarding the PG item you've choosen before. The process logic should be as the following:
When a user selects one item from for example the PG list, the query will be:
select * from x where PG = :P_PG
and the report displays all the items in the PG category selected
The other two bindvariables would be null as the user didn't pick them
If he then proceeds and selects one item from the SG list, the query would be:
select * from x where PG = :P_PG and SG = :P_SG
and the report displays all the items in the PG and SG category selected
If he then proceeds and selects one item from the MA list, the query would be:
select * from x where PG = :P_PG and SG = :P_SG and MA =:P_MA
and the report displays all the items in the PG and SG and MA category selected
Now, I've read some documentation about the decode function, but I can't figure it out, please help.

Okay, Chet, have set it up on htmldb, so you can see my problem, will go in high detail, it is not producing what I want. Example on htmldb:
DEMO/test
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33229:6
Defenitions:
3 LOV's, namely:
- LOVPG - select distinct productgroep, productgroep pg from plijst
- LOVSG - select distinct subgroep, subgroep sg from plijst where productgroep = :P6_LOVPG
- LOVLE- select distinct leverancier, leverancier le from plijst where productgroep = :P6_LOVPG and subgroep = :P6_LOVSG
3 Selectitems with submit, namely:
- :P6_LOVPG
- :P6_LOVSG
- :P6_LOVLE
Report region select statement:
select * from plijst where (productgroep = :P6_LOVPG or :P6_LOVPG IS NULL) and (subgroep = :P6_LOVSG or :P6_LOVSG IS NULL) and (leverancier = :P6_LOVLE or :P6_LOVLE IS NULL)
Branch to:
Branche to page on submit after processing
What it should do is:
When you select an item from the first selectlist, productgroep, the report should show all rows containing the specified productgroep.
When the user selects the next item in the subgroep selectlist, the report should show all rows containing the previously selected prodctgroup and the just selected subgroep.
When the user selects the final item , the report should show all rows based on all three selected itemvalues, productgroep, subgroep, leverancier.
The problem is that with this setup the report is only generated after the final selectlist choice of the user. But the user should see a report before that, going deeper into the structure. Hope, you see my problem?
Sincerely,
Pete

Usage of exists in if-then-else statements

please correct the mistakes in this procedure regarding exists in the use of if then else statement .as i am new to oracle i am unable to do it.
errors are statement ignored
exists should be inside the statement;
CREATE or replace FUNCTION CHECK_FG_Id
p_LegacyDocumentId VARCHAR2,
p_LegacyFGroupId VARCHAR2,
p_TransmissionId INTEGER
RETURN INTEGER as
BEGIN
IF EXISTS
(Select FG.ControlNo from functionalgroup FG,document D
WHERE FG.DocumentId=D.Id AND D.TransmissionId=p_TransmissionId
AND FG.ControlNo=p_LegacyFGroupId AND D.ControlNo=p_LegacyDocumentId ) THEN
Return 1;
ELSE
Return 0;
END IF;
end;

Lots of different ways...One way is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_fg_id (
p_legacydocumentid VARCHAR2,
p_legacyfgroupid VARCHAR2,
p_transmissionid INTEGER) RETURN INTEGER AS
vDoesItExist NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT (1)
INTO vdoesitexist
FROM functionalgroup fg,
document d
WHERE fg.documentid = d.ID
AND d.transmissionid = p_transmissionid
AND fg.controlno = p_legacyfgroupid
AND d.controlno = p_legacydocumentid;
IF vDoesItExist > 0 THEN
RETURN 1;
ELSE
RETURN 0;
END IF; /** vDoesItExist > 0 **/
END check_fg_id;

Java If/Then/Else Statement

Hello,
Just wondering if it is possible to call one java file from within another.
I'm thining wiht an if.then/else statement similar to
If x==true
then run file1.java
else run file2.java
any examples of this, or if it is even possible would be appreciated.

This is something like what I would do.
public class FileRunner {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        if ( args[0].equals("file1") {
            File1 file1 = new File1();
            file1.init() //method you define in File1 that runs everything that would've been in the File1's main method
        } else if (args[0].equals("file2") {
            File2 file2 = new File2();
            file2.init() //method you define in file2 that runs everything that would've been in the File2's main method
        } else {
            System.err.println("Invalid argument");
            System.exit(1);
java.exe FileRunner.class file1
java.exe FileRunner.class file2The other method is to start a new jvm from within java, but that gives you less control than this imo.

Inserting a 'null' value in an IF THEN ELSE statement

Greetings,
I'm using Business Object webi XiR3
I'd like to return a 'null' value in certain cases for an IF THEN ELSE statement. Depending on if I format the field as a text or a number, I can return blanks ("") and zeros (0). However, what I really need to do is leave the field / column formatted as a number and return a 'null' value. You can see the variable below ... this will return a blank but the column is text.
Suggestions?
thanks.
variable:
=If([Comp Rate Mid] = 0 And( ([Market Rate 50th].085) - [Annual Total Targeted Comp] >=0) ; ([Market Rate 50th]0.85) - [Annual Total Targeted Comp]; If([Comp Rate Mid] <> 0 And( ([Comp Rate Mid] 0.85) - [Annual Total Targeted Comp] >=0) ; ([Comp Rate Mid]0.85) - [Annual Total Targeted Comp];""))

I don't think this is possible using a formula, as formulas deal with content, and images can be placed in cells only as 'image fill', which is Format, rather than Content.
Might be possible using an AppleScript, but I'm not the person to advise you on that.

Barry

If statement in select statement alias

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,

You may not be able to add this condition inside the SQL Statement. But you can add this condition outside the statement, if you're using PL/SQL...
IF :p_language = french THEN
SELECT ALL t_ntr_multibar.cat,
t_ntr_multibar.num_cases_leftbar AS survivors,

I have a select clause. And in the select clause there is a variable all_off_trt that can be 'Y' or 'N'.
In the where clause I want to make it so that if a form variable is checked and all_off_trt is 'Y' then
exclude it else if the form variable isn't checked then select it no matter what all_off_trt is.
Is there any way to include either and if statement or a case statement within the where clause to acheive this? If not is there another way of doing it?
Basically I am looking for a case statement like this
case
when all_off_trt = 'Y' and mail_para.code = 'Y' then false
else true
end

Ok, so that really doesn't solve my problem. I have 3 different fields that I need to do that with. Each combining in a select statement to print an email list, as well as other thing limiting the where clause.
This is currently what I have, tested and working 100%.
cursor email_cur is
select unique p.email,s.all_off_trt,s.all_deceased,s.no_enroll
from participant p, trialcom t, ethics s
where p.status='A'
and p.surname=t.surname
and p.initials=t.initials
and s.trial_cd = t.tricom
and s.centre = t.centre
and p.email is not null
and (t.centre in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='CENTRE')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='CENTRE'))
and (t.tricom in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='TRIAL')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='TRIAL'))
and (t.role in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='ROLE')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='ROLE'))
and (p.country in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='COUNTRY')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='COUNTRY'))
and (t.represent in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='REPRESENT')
or 'XX' in (select code from mail_parameters where user_name=user and mail_para='REPRESENT'));
This is in a program unit that runs when a button is clicked. At the end of that I need to add on the 3 case statements that help further narrow down the selection of emails to be printed. Then it prints the emails selected from this statement into a file. So it has to be done right in the select statement. The three table variables are the all_off_trt, all_deceased, and no_enroll. The form has 3 checkboxes. One for each, that when checked (giving the variable associated with the checkboxes a value of 'Y') excludes all emails that have a 'Y' in the coresponding table variable.

Problem in If-Then-Else formula in report

Hello guys!
I use an If-Then-Else statement in a Calculated Key Figure (Cf. <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/23/17f13a2f160f28e10000000a114084/content.htm">Conditional Calculations</a> ) and it works great with basic calculations.
I have a query (done in BI 7.0) where I display, for each calendar months (via 0CALMONTH), the usage (stored in a normal key figure in hours) of several products.
I need to take into account only the products that have been used for at least 60% of the time of the highest product for each month. I a single product, for a month, has been used less than 60% of the highest one, it should be considered as not being used at all (so the calculated usage would be = 0), otherwise, its usage is counted as normal.
In order to achieve this, I thought I would display the normal usage (the regular key figure) in column A, a calculated key figure that determines the MAXimum usage for each month in column B (which should be the same for all products) and another calculated key figure that displays the result of the If-Then-Else statement in column C.
In rows, I have 0CALMONTH and the products.
HOWEVER, when I do this, the result is incorrect. This is probably because to determine the MAX usage, I use a local calculation option, which displays the correct maximum usage on each row but it's not correct when used somewhere else.
MY QUESTION IS: HOW can I display the maximum usage for a month on all rows without using the calculation option (and therefore would be correctly used by the If-Then-Else statement. I tried an aggregation exception but it doesn't really work (it works only on the total, but I need to do the calculation on each individual row).
Any useful comment will be greatly appreciated 
Thanks in advance!

Hi Francal ,
Have you tried it . The constant selection will work if you have defined the calculated key figure correctly i.e. Aggreagtiomn "Max" with "product" as ref characteristic. Then you have to use this calculated key figure in your query , restrict it by "product" and make it a constant selection.
The calculated key figure it self will bring the highest usage for Month + product + ( any other characteristic you have in query ) but this will only apply to result . If you use constant seelction on top of it it will make sure that you see same value for all product for a particular month( and other characteristic combinations if you have ).
I have built similar queries and it works . By the way which versions of backend and frontend you have ??
