Issue in select query with where clause

Hi guys,
I'm facing an issue while using select query with the where clause. When I'm selecting all the data from the table it returns the correct result. But when I'm using the where clause to get the specific rows from the table it returns no rows. But the data I'm trying to fetch using the where condition exists in the table.
Here is my query which causing the issue,
select * from mytable where myfield = 'myvalue'
But if I use the following query it returns the result correctly.
select * from mytable
Also the myfield value 'myvalue' exists in the table.
I have tried by running this query in both SQL Developer and SQL Plus. I have tried this query in mssql as well. It works perfectly and returns correct result sets for both the queries I have mentioned above. I'm unable to predict the issue as I'm new to ORACLE. Please help.
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi Ram,
I experienced an issue similar to this with a varchar2 field. Some of our records had a hidden newline character at the end of them, which was making queries like the one below fail:
select * from employees
where email = '[email protected]'The best way I found to detect this was to use
select 'XX'||email||'XX' from employeesTo make sure that there were no newlines. But that is just a guess. If you could provide some example table data and the outputs of your selects, it would be helpful.

Hierarchical query with where clause

Hi,
How can I query hierarchically a query with WHERE clause? I have a table with three fields session_id,id and root_id.
When I try with the following query,
select id, level from relation
where session_id = 79977
connect by prior id = root_id start with id = 5042;
It gets duplicate values.
I want the query to show in the hierarchical manner with a filter condition using WHERE clause. Please help me how can I achieve this. If you know any link that describes more about this, please send it.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
-Parmy

Hi Sridhar Murthy an others,
Thanks a lot for your/the answer. It's working for me. It saved a lot of other work around without the proper knowledge of hierarchical query. Please send me any link that describes these issues in detail and also I hope as I have mentioned in the other message, same cannot be achieved on views or ( on two different tables ???)
Any way thanks for your reply,
It's working for me.

Populate list by executing query with where clause

Hi,
I m populating my list from database table using following command.
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("learning", new HashMap());
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
String query = "select d from Dept d";
List list = em.createQuery(query).getResultList();
My list is getting populated with all of rows in my database table(dept). The problem is, I cant use where clause in my query string.
String query = "select d from Dept d where d.dept_name='ANYNAME'";
Moreover I cant select even indivisual columns by using following line
String query = "select d.dept_code,d.dept_name from Dept d";
It looks like that my query is getting all rows from table as Object.
What to do to
1. put some where clause
2. get some particular colums instead of all columns
3. apply some table joins in query
plz help.

Hi Alex,
I misunderstood your question. You had mentioned "My list is getting populated with all of rows in my database table(dept). The problem is, I cant use where clause in my query string. "
I thought you might not have permissions to modify the code in the class, and that's why I suggested that you could write new classes.
1) write new classes,? means if I need just two columns from a table >(instead of all columns), do I need to write new class with just two >columns (getters and setters)?You can write a SQL statement anyway you want , there are no restrictions in JDBC , so if you need just 2 columns you can write a custom query for that.
"select column1 as a, column2 as be from table_name where column3 = xyz" etc.
2) Is not anyway to write SQL statement like
select dept_code,dept_name from dept where dept_name='anything'The above SQL is correct, it should work.
3) Stored procedures? can I get some example(code) to get an idea >how to implement complex queries with where clause and joinings >using stored procedures?Stored procedures are specific to the database you are using, Oracle has a particular syntax for store procdures.
You can call stored procedures from JDBC also, search on Google for
"Calling stored procedures from JDBC"

Simple Select query with 'where', 'and', 'between' clauses takes time

Hi,
I have a select query as below
SELECT * FROM (SELECT a.*,ROWNUM currentStartRecord From (select ai_inbound.ai_inb_seq tableseq,'AI_INBOUND' tablename,'INBOUND' direction,ai_inbound.appl,ai_inbound.ai_date datetime,ai_inbound.ic_receiver_id pg_id,ai_inbound.ic_sender_id tp_id,ai_inbound.session_no,ai_inbound.ic_ctl_no,ai_inbound.msg_set_id msg_type,ai_inbound.appl_msg_ctl_no reference_no,ai_inbound.fg_version version,ai_inbound.msg_status status,ai_inbound.input_file_name,ai_inbound.output_file_name,ai_inbound.ack_file_name from ai_inbound where ai_inbound.appl = ? and ai_inbound.ai_date between ? and ? )a where ROWNUM <= 49)where currentStartRecord >= 0
The above query takes longer time through application than expected when the date fields are passed whereas it works fine when no date fields are passed. We are using oracle9.2 version of the database. All the indexed columns and partitioned indexed columns are rebuild.
Kindly let me know how can i tune up the query to improve the performance.
Thanks

Select query with UNION clause in database adapter

Friends,
I have got a SQL query with two UNION clause withing it. like
select a,b,c
from a
union
select a,b,c
from b
The schema generated is like below in sequence
<element>a</element>
<element>b</element>
<element>c</element>
<element>a</element>
<element>b</element>
<element>c</element>
So, the columns from different select queries joined with UNION clause are all appeared in schema instead of the distinct columns.
Is there any way around to solve this issue ? or will need to with DB function/procedure.

I think I know what you are saying but your example doesn't make sense, your SQL should produce something like
I had to change a, b, c with elementA, elementB, elementC as a and b are reserved html tags.
<elementA>DateA</elementA>
<elementB>DataB</elementB>
<elementC>DataC</elementC>
...What is the result of the query when you run it in SQLPlus? Is it what you expect?
cheers

Select sdo_nn with where-clause on large table

Hi spatial-experts,
I've following problem. I use a table with more than 2.500.000 dataset. Every dataset represents one point (SDO_GEOMETRY, SDO_POINT_TYPE) and have further (text) information. (PI (point of interest) table from TeleAtlas mn_pi)
Following Select works fine:
SELECT /*+ ORDERED NO_INDEX(pi IX_PI_FEATTYP) */
sdo_nn_distance(1) distance,
id, feattyp, arnamelc, name, stname, stnamelc, hsnum, postcode
FROM multinet.mn_pi pi
WHERE
pi.feattyp IN ( 9373,9374)
AND
SDO_NN(
pi.geom,
SDO_GEOMETRY( 2001, 8307, SDO_POINT_TYPE(613.86865234375/60, 3002.94677734375/60, NULL), NULL, NULL),
'sdo_batch_size=0', 1) = 'TRUE'
AND rownum = 1
ORDER BY distance
(P.S. IX_PI_FEATTYP is an index on column feattyp, here not used. When I'm using it the select do not work (it last very long...))
When I now modify the where clause to an pi which feat type that does not exists (no entry in table) the select lasts very long (I canceled the select after 5 minutes).
for example: pi.feattyp = 9756
Otherwise I add a further where clause like
AND arnamelc = 'ITA'
the select also works very long. The point are now in italy. refrence point is in germany and is more than 500km away.
Are there some solutions to solve this problems
(should I use for every feat type a own table)?
Why is the select so slow?
Thanks for all helpfully answers,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
When you use nearest neighbor, Oracle will use the spatial index to find the nearest neighbor that meets the query criteria. It probes into the index, calculates distances, and returns data in distance order.
Using SDO_BATCH_SIZE, it keeps going back to the database, returning more and more records in distance order until the other predicates are satisfied (in your case, pi.feattyp IN ( 9373,9374).
When you specified pi.feattyp = 9756 (which doesn't exist), you told Oracle to keep going and calculating distances for each of the more than 2.500.000 records in the the data set (you killed it after 5 minutes).
I don't know why adding: AND arnamelc = 'ITA' caused Oracle to take extra time. Sometimes I will do a: set autotrace trace exp
then compare plans for something that runs quickly vs. something that runs slowly. If you want to post the plans for the fast and slow versions it might be interesting to look at.
My guess is you may want to look at a solution that incorporates various possibilities. For instance, if there are only a few of some feattyp values, you may want to select those using the non-spatial index then use sdo_geom.sdo_distance to find the closest point rather than risk having to look through a few million values for a match.
I'm sure other people have thoughts as well...
Kind regards,
Dan

SELECT QUERY CHECK & WHERE CLAUSE DIFFERENCE.URGENT PLEASE.

My question is ,
IF SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' CONDITION IS AGAIN PRESENT IN THE DATABASE TABLE ,,,,WILL THE CHECK CONDITION SEARCH IT AGAIN EVEN AFTER FINDING IT IN THE FIRST OF THE TABLE???OR SIMPLY TERMINATE IN THE FIRST TIME THE CONDITION SATISFIES??IF DOES TERMINATE THEN ERRONEOUS RESULT IS BOUND TO COME SINCE ONE MORE RECORS IS UNSELECTED.
SIMILARLY DOES THE WHERE CLAUSE CONTINUE SEARCHING EVEN AFTER HAVING FOUND THE CONDITION ALREADY ONCE IN THE TABLE??
PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS ASPECT.PLEASE CHECK THE TWO DIFFERENT CODES & ANSWER ACCORDINGLY..
SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA.
CHECK: SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
ENDSELECT.
SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA
WHERE CARRID = 'LH' AND
CONNID = '0400'.
ENDSELECT.

Hi,
The Check condition will be true, so it will not going to display the records, it will fill the internal table.
In the Where condition it will fill the Internal table as well as it will display also.
Hope now your query is solved

Query Bean Where clause

In Query Bean (Auto Customization Criteria) , OA FWK generate
where clause automatically .
I want to disable this criteria in some cases. Is there any way exists?
(Disable means remove some condition )
I want to see runtime query with where clause(In case of Query Bean) . Is there is any way to find out it?
Thanks, Avaneesh

You have couple of options to do this,
1. You can use getCriteria API on the queryBean which will stop the query execution by framework and it's the responsibility of the developer to use the dictionary returned by getCriteria and bind the complete where clause yourself.
2. You can use getNonViewAttrCriteria API on queryBean. This provides a dictionary of criteria on the column which are not mapped to a viewAttribute, for example if you want a poplist in the search region which has values like "Last one week", "Last 2 weeks", "Last 15 days" and so on and want to bind the criteria your self by interpreting the value selected.
In this case, framework still binds the where clause for the other criteria's which are mapped to a vo based column in the table and expects the developer to bind the criteria for these non viewattribute mappings in the controller.
I think your requirement fits in the second approach.

Absolute dynamic select query with dynamic join and where

Has anyone ever tried creating an absolutely dynamic SELECT query with dynamic Join and Where conditions.
I have a requirement of creating such a query in an Utility Class, and i have written the code. But its throwing my sysntax errors.
Please let me know where am I going wrong OR is it really possible to create such a dynamic Query??
    SELECT (FIELDS) INTO TABLE IT_TABLES
      FROM ( (ME->TABLE1) inner join ( me->table2 )
      on ( on_condition ) )
      WHERE (me->where_fields).
Ags.

It worked for me in a following way:
select * into corresponding fields of table <result_table>
        from (join_string)
        where (l_where).
Where the contents of join_string were dynamically build using concatenation. So it will be something like
concatenate ME->TABLE1 'as a INNER JOIN' me->table2 'as b ON (' into join_string separated by space.
<...>
add here matching/reference colums, something like
concatenate 'a~' me->TABLE1_JOIN_COL into temp1.
concatenate 'b~' me->TABLE2_JOIN_COL into temp2.
concatenate join_string temp1 '=' temp2 into join_string separated by space.
<...>
concatenate join_string ')' into join_string separated by space.
And then use similar approach for l_where variable.

Outer Join with Where Clause in LTS

HI all,
I have a requirement like this in ANSI SQL:
select p1.product_id, p1.product_name, p2.product_group
from product p1 left outer join product_group p2 on p1.product_id = p2.product_id
and p2.product_group = 'NEW'
In Regular SQL:
select p1.product_id, p1.product_name, p2.product_group
from product p1, product_group p2
WHERE p1.product_id *= p2.product_id and p2.product_group = 'NEW'
In OBIEE, I am using a left outer join between these two in Logical table Source, and also, Gave
p2.product_group = 'NEW' in WHERE clause of LTS.
This doesn't seem to solve purpose.
Do you have any idea how to convert WHERE clause in physical query that OBIEE is generating to something like
product p1 left outer join product_group p2 on p1.product_id = p2.product_id AND p2.product_group = 'NEW'
I am using Version 10.1.3.4.1
Creating an Opaque view would be my last option though.

Hello
I have read your post and the responses as well. and I understand that you have issues with the Outer Join with where Clause in LTS.
Try this solution which worked for me (using your example ) -
1. In the Physical Layer created a Complex join between PRODUCT and PRODUCT_GROUP tables and use this join relationship :
PRODUCT.PROD_ID = PRODUCT_GROUP.PROD_ID AND PRODUCT_GROUP.GROUP_NAME = 'MECHANICAL'
2. In the General Tab of PRODUCT table LTS add PRODUCT_GROUP table and select Join Type as Left Outer Join.
3. Check Consistency and make sure there are no errors .
when you run a request you should see the following query generated -
select distinct T26908.PROD_ID as c1,
     T26908.PROD_NAME as c2,
     T26912.GROUP_NAME as c3
from
     PRODUCT T26908 left outer join PRODUCT_GROUP T26912 On T26908.PROD_ID = T26912.PROD_ID and T26912.GROUP_NAME = 'MECHANICAL'
order by c1, c2, c3
Hope this works for you. If it does please mark this response as 'Correct' .
Good Luck.

Hello,
You should use parameter file.Another question i can see you are using 11g.Why don't you use data pump?.
Data Pump is faster and have more features and enhancement than regular imp and exp.
You can do the following:
sqlplus / as sysdba
Create directory DPUMP_DIR3 for 'Type here your os path that you want to export to';then touch a file:
touch par.txt
In this file type the following the following :
tables=schema.table_name
dumpfile=yourdump.dmp
DIRECTORY=DPUMP_DIR3
logfile=Your_logfile.log
QUERY =abs.texp:"where hiredate>'01-JAN-13' "then do the following
expdp username/password parfile='par.txt'
If you will import from Oracle 11g to version 10g then you have to addthe parameter "version=10" to the parameter file above

Require a query with all clauses

Hi All,
I have been asked for a query to write by using all sql clauses like group by, where, having, order by in a single query. I just wrote the below query but I did not get out put. Please do correct where I am missing.
select deptno, max(sal) from emp group by deptno having deptno > ( select distinct deptno from emp where deptno >= 20)
Thanks for your time and info.

Logically it was wrong; as your sub-query will return more then one record for comparison. By the way if you are querying the same data from same table then why you need a sub query in having clause! No need of it. Even if you are not using any aggregate predicates then use it with where clause.
This is how your query and output should come out!

Not sure you can do it with the Oracle style outer joins, but wioth ANSI style joins it is simple, actually exactly as you had it.

How to re-write this big SELECT Query with INNER JOINs?

Hi Experts
I have a performance killer SELECT query with an inner join of 3 tables u2013 VBAP, VBAK and VBEP together, which populates records to an internal table INT_COLL_ORD. Based on these records selected, in another SELECT query, records are fetched from VBUK table to the internal table INT_VBUK.
SELECT A~VBELN A~POSNR A~MATNR A~KWMENG A~KBMENG A~ERDAT A~ERZET A~PSTYV D~AUART E~ETTYP E~EDATU
INTO TABLE INT_TAB_RES
FROM VBAP AS A INNER JOIN VBAK AS D
ON D~VBELN EQ A~VBELN AND D~MANDT EQ A~MANDT
INNER JOIN VBEP AS E
ON E~VBELN EQ A~VBELN AND E~POSNR EQ A~POSNR AND E~MANDT EQ A~MANDT
WHERE A~VBELN IN s_VBELN AND
       D~auart in s_auart AND
       D~vkorg in s_vkorg AND
       D~vbtyp eq 'C'     AND
       ( ( matnr LIKE c_prefix_sp AND zz_msposnr NE 0 AND kbmeng EQ 0 )
       OR ( matnr LIKE c_prefix_fp AND kwmeng NE A~kbmeng ) ) AND
       A~ABGRU EQ SPACE AND
       A~MTVFP IN R_MTVFP AND
       A~PRCTR IN R_PRCT AND
       E~ETENR EQ '1'.
SORT INT_COLL_ORD BY VBELN POSNR ETTYP.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM INT_TAB_RES COMPARING VBELN POSNR.
CHECK NOT INT_TAB_RES [] IS INITIAL.
SELECT VBELN UVALL CMGST INTO TABLE INT_VBUK
FROM VBUK FOR ALL ENTRIES IN INT_TAB_RES
WHERE VBELN = INT_TAB_RES-VBELN AND UVALL NE 'A'.
Now, the requirement is:
I want to split this query. Like, first join VBAK and VBUK first. With this selection, go to the inner join of VBAP and VBEP (on key VBELN) to get the results. How can I re-write this Query?
Please help.
Thx n Rgds

Hi Nagraj
As of your suggestion, I have re-written the query as below:
* Declarations
TYPES: BEGIN OF TYP_COLL_ORD,
        VBELN LIKE VBAK-VBELN,
        POSNR LIKE VBUP-POSNR,
        MATNR LIKE VBAP-MATNR,
        KWMENG LIKE VBAP-KWMENG,
        KBMENG LIKE VBAP-KBMENG,
        ERDAT LIKE VBAK-ERDAT,
        ERZET LIKE VBAK-ERZET,
        PSTYV LIKE VBAP-PSTYV,
        AUART LIKE VBAK-AUART, u201Calready exists in type
        ETTYP LIKE VBEP-ETTYP,
        EDATU LIKE VBEP-EDATU.
TYPES: END OF TYP_COLL_ORD.
DATA: INT_COLL_ORD TYPE TABLE OF TYP_COLL_ORD WITH HEADER LINE.
TYPES: BEGIN OF TYP_VBUK,
        AUART LIKE VBAK-AUART, u201Chave added this field
        VBELN LIKE VBUK-VBELN,
        UVALL LIKE VBUK-UVALL,
        CMGST LIKE VBUK-CMGST.
TYPES: END OF TYP_VBUK.
DATA: INT_VBUK TYPE TABLE OF TYP_VBUK WITH HEADER LINE.
*QUERY#1 u2013 for VBAK & VBUK Join
SELECT A~AUART B~VBELN B~UVALL B~CMGST
INTO TABLE INT_VBUK
FROM VBAK AS A INNER JOIN VBUK AS B
ON A~VBELN EQ B~VBELN
WHERE A~VBELN IN s_VBELN AND
A~auart in s_auart AND

A~vbtyp eq 'C' AND
B~UVALL NE 'A'.
IF NOT INT_VBUK[] IS INITIAL.
SORT INT_VBUK BY VBELN.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM INT_VBUK COMPARING VBELN.
*QUERY#2 u2013 for VBAP & VBEP Join
SELECT A~VBELN A~POSNR A~MATNR A~KWMENG A~KBMENG A~ERDAT A~ERZET A~PSTYV B~ETTYP B~EDATU

OR ( matnr LIKE c_prefix_fp AND kwmeng NE A~kbmeng ) ) AND
A~ABGRU EQ SPACE AND
A~MTVFP IN R_MTVFP AND
A~PRCTR IN R_PRCT AND
B~ETENR EQ '1'.
ENDIF.
SORT INT_COLL_ORD BY VBELN POSNR ETTYP.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM INT_COLL_ORD
    COMPARING VBELN POSNR.
CHECK NOT INT_COLL_ORD[] IS INITIAL.
LOOP AT INT_COLL_ORD.
    CLEAR: L_MTART,L_ATPPR,L_ETTYP.
    IF L_PREVIOUS_ETTYP NE INT_COLL_ORD-ETTYP OR
      L_PREVIOUS_AUART NE INT_COLL_ORD-AUART.
      READ TABLE INT_OVRCTL WITH KEY AUART = INT_COLL_ORD-AUART ETTYP = INT_COLL_ORD-ETTYP.
      CHECK SY-SUBRC NE 0.
Now, the issue is:
Please note that declaration for INT_COLL_ORD has a field AUART, which is used in further parts of program (see the statement just above)
But, since neither VBAP nor VBEP contains AUART field, it cannot be fetched through the QUERY#2. So this value is not populated into INT_COLL_ORD through SELECT Query.
Since this field is used in later part of program & that the internal table has no value for this field, it dumps!!
How to include this value into the INT_COLL_ORD?
Plz suggest....
