Answer 1

thanks your efforts are apriciated but its not working
see i have created view as per ur suggestion,
create or replace view vwabc as
SELECT x.accountnumber accountnumber,
distributorname distributorname,
staffname staffname,
resellerno resellerno,
resellername resellername, resellercreatedate resellercreatedate, customerno customerno, custmername custmername,
customeractivationdate customeractivationdate, childaccountnumber childaccountnumber, childaccountname childaccountname,
childactivationdate childactivationdate, resellerstaff resellerstaff
--x.accountstaffid Disaccountstaffid,
--y.accountstaffid resaccountstaffid
FROM (SELECT Y.RELATIONACCOUNTNUMBER accountnumber, x.NAME distributorname, staffname,
y.accountnumber resellerno, y.accountid resaccountid,
x.accountstaffid
FROM ((SELECT a.accountid, b.accountstaffid, a.NAME,
b.NAME staffname, a.accountnumber
FROM tblmaccount a, tblmaccountstaff b
WHERE a.accounttypeid = 'ACT04' AND a.accountid = b.owneraccountid(+))
UNION ALL
(SELECT a.accountid, NULL, a.NAME, NULL, a.accountnumber
FROM tblmaccount a
WHERE a.accounttypeid = 'ACT04'
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM tblmaccountstaff c
WHERE c.owneraccountid = a.accountid))) x,
tblmaccountaccountrel y
WHERE NVL (x.accountstaffid, '-') = NVL (y.accountstaffid(+), '-')
AND x.accountid = y.relationaccountid(+)
--and x.accountid = 'ACC000537173'
) x,
(SELECT x.accountnumber, x.NAME resellername, resellerstaff,
x.accountstaffid, y.accountnumber customerno,
ta.NAME custmername, ta.accountid,
ta.activationdate customeractivationdate,
y.relationaccountid, cust.accountnumber childaccountnumber,
cust.NAME childaccountname,
TRUNC (cust.activationdate) childactivationdate,
x.resellercreatedate
FROM ((SELECT a.accountid, b.accountstaffid, a.NAME,
b.NAME resellerstaff, a.accountnumber,
TRUNC (a.createdate) resellercreatedate
FROM tblmaccount a, tblmaccountstaff b
WHERE a.accounttypeid = 'ACT03' AND a.accountid = b.owneraccountid(+))
UNION ALL
(SELECT a.accountid, NULL, a.NAME, NULL, a.accountnumber,
TRUNC (a.createdate) resellercreatedate
FROM tblmaccount a
WHERE a.accounttypeid = 'ACT03'
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM tblmaccountstaff c
WHERE c.owneraccountid = a.accountid))) x,
tblmaccountaccountrel y,
tblmaccount ta,
tblmaccount cust
WHERE NVL (x.accountstaffid, '-') = NVL (y.accountstaffid, '-')
AND x.accountid = y.relationaccountid(+)
AND y.accountid = ta.accountid(+)
AND ta.accountnumber = cust.parentaccountnumber
--and x.accountid = 'ACC000537856'
) y
WHERE x.resaccountid = y.relationaccountid(+)
Now firing Merge,
SQL> MERGE INTO tbltmonthlysales A
2 USING
3 (select DISTINCT MON_YYYY ,distributorname From vwabc) B
4 ON (a.distributorname = B.distributorname)
5 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
6 INSERT (A.MON_YYYY,A.distributorname) VALUES (B.MON_YYYY,B.DISTRIBUTORNAME);
(select DISTINCT MON_YYYY ,distributorname From vwabc) B
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00904: "MON_YYYY": invalid identifier
still error :(
