Mind bender select query condition

I posted a thread called very interesting select query problem. Because I am new I did not set the question as unanswered. The question is :
I have selected some material documents from bkpf into i_bkpf. then by looping on it I broke down the AWKEY into mblnr and mjahr and modified the same internal table. Then I created a data base view YMCSKS joining MKPF and MSEG.
I want to write a select query which does not select mblnr and mjahr from YMCSKS which are already there in i_bkpf
sort of like this
select.......
from VIEW (YMCSKS)
where MBLNR <> i_bkpf-mblnr

PK is correct.  You've had the same question rejected twice yesterday - do you read your email?    You've really not provided enough information, and so the problem looks very much like you are wanting other people to do your work.  This is no "mind bender".  If you can't do it, then you need to be very clear about what you've already tried - newbies are welcome here, but evidence of effort is expected.
Rudeness is not tolerated, so please keep the conversation civil.
If you would like to give more information about what you've tried, and where you are struggling, then I shall leave the thread open.  I'm inviting you to restate your question.

  • URGENT: To change the where condition in select query at runtime ?

    Hi,
    I have to develop a report, 4 which I have created a selection screen with 7 Input Parameters whose value is to be filled by the user while executing the report.
    On the basis of this I do the desired selection of output.
    But the problem is that how do I write my select Query(where condition) if the user enetrs only 2 Input parameters or 3 or whatever he feels like.

    Hi,
    the problem is the big for all entries table.
    Your 20.000 records FAE will be split into SEVERAL sql statements depending on the size of the table.
    Where do you get the it_auftrn from?
    If it's another transparent table try to JOIN this table to your big table.
    SELECT rsnum
                rspos
                matnr
                werks
            lgort
                shkzg
                aufnr
                bdmng
                enmng                      
                FROM  resb JOIN tab_auftrn  on  resbrsnum = tab_auftrnauftrn
                AND   xloek NE 'X'
                AND   postp NE 'X'
                AND   resbbdmng GE resbenmng.
    Make sure that your WHERE filter and the JOIN keys on both tables are supported by indexes.
    150.000 records about of 40 Mio. can definitly be serviced by an appropriate index:
    i.e. Index fields (check your PK or secondary indexes):
    rsnum
    enmng

  • Select query with variable no of conditions

    Hi,
    I want to write a select query such that the conditions mentioned under WHERE clause can be variable .like :
    Select * from TABLE where F1 = var1 and F2 = var2 and F3 = var3.
    Now on the basis of some conditons the equations in where clause should be used.Say condition is variable value >6.
    Now in this case ,if
    var1 =7 var2 =3 var3 = 8 then the query shud behave like
    select * from TABLE where F1 = var1 and F3 = var3
    if :
    var1 =3 var2 = 4 var3 =3 the :
    select * from TABLE
    But only one query is to be wrote that satisfies all of these
    thanx
    Edited by: aachal on Feb 4, 2011 11:36 AM

    Hi Aachal,
    Use Dynamic select statement.
    Ex:
    data : lv_wherecond type string.
    Select * from TABLE where ( lv_wherecond ).
    Before Select stmt, code as follows.
    if var1 > 6.
           if lv_wherecond is initial.
              F1 = var1.
           else.
              concatenate lv_wherecond ' and F1 = var1'  into lv_wherecond.
           endif.
    elseif var 2 > 6.
            if lv_wherecond is initial.
               F2 = var2
            else.
               concatenate lv_wherecond ' and F2 = var2'  into lv_wherecond.
           endif.
    elseif var3 > 6.
          same as above ..
    endif.
    Hope it helps..

  • How to write the select query with complex where condition

    Hi all,
    Can u help me in writing  following select query.
    select * from zu1cd_corr where time_stamp between firstday and lastday .
    In the above query time_stamp contains the date and time.
    where as firstday and lastday contains the dates.
    I need to compare the date in the time_stamp with the firstday and lastday.
    But time_stamp contains the time also and it is char of 14 characters length.

    Hi,
    If that is the case u can do as advait specified....
    if the firstday and secondday are select-options then declare two more variables having 14 character length and then concatenate '000000' to firstday variable and '240000' to last day variable and then write ur query.
    CLEAR : lv_firstday,
                 lv_lastday.
    concatenate firstday '000000' to lv_firstday.
    concatenate lastday '240000' to lv_lastday.

    Thanks.

    Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
    use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect. 
    This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. 
    >> Say I have a table, tb1, that has the following entries: <<
    Are you this rude or really ignorant and too lazy to read the Netiquette at the start to this forum? Why do you think you do not need a key? No DDL? No constraints? And , why, why do you think that “tb1” is a precise, ISO-11179 conforming table name? 
    Let's make this a table of rude posters rated on a 4-star scale. 
    CREATE TABLE Rude_Posters
    (first_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL, 
     last_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL, 
     PRIMARY KEY (first_name, last_name), 
     rudeness_code VARCHAR (4) NOT NULL

    INSERT INTO Rude_Posters
    VALUES
    ('John', 'Doe', 'xxx'), 
    ('Jane', 'Doe', 'xxx'), 
    ('Steve', 'Harper', 'x'), 
    ('Barrack', 'Obama', 'x'), 
    ('George', 'Bush', 'xxxx'), 
    ('Bill', 'Clinton', 'xx');
    >> I'd like to write a SELECT query that only lists the rows where the count for rudeness_code is > 1, i.e not display the last two rows from the above entry. << 
    The rudeness scale is based on stars, so to ask for an integer value is like saying “on a scale from 1 to 10, what is the color of your favorite letter of the alphabet?”
    Next, the number of stars and your narrative do not match. Did you want to say WHERE rudeness_code IN ('xx' 'xxx', 'xxxx')? 
    Please stop programming SQL until you have gotten more education. At this point, you do not know enough to ask a question.

          MATNR in S_MATNR.
    Here doc_typ is a variable.
    Thanks.

    Rahul,
    use RANGES type variable instead of variable . It acts as a select-options variable. Thn use this variable in SELECT query with IN.
    Eg :
    RANGES r_t510 FOR t510-lgart.
        r_t510-low = '1600'. 
        APPEND r_t510.
        r_t510-low = '3190'. 
        APPEND r_t510.
    Note  : can be use SIGN, OPTIONS properties too in RANGES type.
    More deatils go through on HELP of RANGES

    Hi,
    you are checking the work area in the SELECT. IN WHERE condition of the select u should specify fields in either of the tables pa0002 , pa0105 for data population.
    The select is on the database table and not on the work area.for checking the data in the work area do this way:
    loop at it_dob into wa_dob.
    if wa_dob-e_dob between the range u want (w_sysdate AND w_edit_sysdate)
    endif.
    endloop.
    ie: wa_dob-e_dob >w_sysdate AND wa_dob-e_dob < w_edit_sysdate or
        wa_dob-e_dob < w_sysdate AND wa_dob-e_dob  >  w_edit_sysdate

    The condition is first look into table EmpRoles and if it has more than one entry for a particular Employee ID than only need to get the Role from LatestRoles other wise consider
    the role from EmpRoles .
    Sample Script:
    Create Table #EmpIDs
    (EmplID int )
    Create Table #EmpRoles
    (EMPID int,Designation varchar(50))
    Create Table #LatestRoles
    EmpID int,
    Designation varchar(50)
    Insert into #EmpIDs values (1),(2),(3)
    Insert into #EmpRoles values (1,'Role1'),(2,'Role1'),(2,'Role2'),(3,'Role1')
    Insert into #LatestRoles values (2,'Role2')
    Employee ID 2 is having two roles defined in EmpRoles so for EmpID 2 need to fetch Role from LatestRoles table and for
    remaining ID's need to fetch from EmpRoles .
    My Final Output of select query should be like below.
    EmpID Role
    1 Role1
    2 Role2
    3 Role1
    Please help.

    Mohan,
    Can you check if this answers your requirement:
    Create Table #EmpIDs
    (EmplID int )
    Create Table #EmpRoles
    (EMPID int,Designation varchar(50))
    Create Table #LatestRoles
    EmpID int,
    Designation varchar(50)
    Insert into #EmpIDs values (1)
    Insert into #EmpIDs values (2)
    Insert into #EmpIDs values (3)
    Insert into #EmpRoles values (1,'Role1')
    Insert into #EmpRoles values (2,'Role2')
    Insert into #EmpRoles values (2,'Role1')
    Insert into #EmpRoles values (3,'Role1')
    Insert into #LatestRoles values (2,'Role2')
    --Method 1
    select e.EmplID,MIN(ISNULL(l.Designation,r.Designation)) as Designation
    from #empids e
    left join #emproles r on e.emplID=r.EmpID
    left join #latestRoles l on e.emplID=l.EmpID
    group by e.EmplID
    --Method 2
    ;with cte
    as
    select distinct e.EmplID,r.Designation,count(*) over(partition by e.emplID) cnt
    from #empids e
    left join #emproles r on e.emplID=r.EmpID
    select emplID,Designation
    from cte
    where cnt=1
    UNION ALL
    select a.EmplID,l.Designation
    from
    (select distinct EmplID from cte where cnt>1) a
    join #Latestroles l on a.EmplID=l.EmpID
    order by emplID
    Thanks,

  • How can i update rows  in a table based on a match from a select query

    Hello
    How can i update rows in a table based on a match from a select query fron two other tables with a update using sqlplus ?
    Thanks Glenn
    table1
    attribute1 varchar2 (10)
    attribute2 varchar2 (10)
    processed varchar2 (10)
    table2
    attribute1 varchar2 (10)
    table3
    attribute2 varchar2 (10)
    An example:
    set table1.processed = "Y"
    where (table1.attribute1 = table2.attribute1)
    and (table1.attribute2 = table3.attribute2)

    Hi, Frank
    taking nulls into account, what if some attributes are null ;) then the query should look like
    NOT TESTED !
    update table1 t1
    set processed = 'Y'
    where exists(select null
    from table2
    where lnnvl(attribute1 != t1.attribute1)
    and exists(select null
    from table3
    where lnnvl(attribute2 != t1.attribute2)
    and processed != 'Y'Regards
    EtbinYes, you could do that. OP specifically requested something else:
    wgdoig wrote:
    set table1.processed = "Y"
    where (table1.attribute1 = table2.attribute1)
    and (table1.attribute2 = table3.attribute2)This WHERE clause won't be TRUE if any of the 4 attribute columns are NULL. It's debatable about what should be done when those columns are NULL.
    But there is no argument about what needs to be done when processed is NULL.
    OP didn't specifically say that the UPDATEshould or shouldn't be done on rows where processed was already 'Y'. You (quite rightly) introduced a condition that would prevent redo from being generated and triggers from firing unnecessarily; I'm just saying that we have to be careful that the same condition doesn't keep the row from being UPDATEd when it is necessary.
