Outer join with effective date in peoplesoft query
Hi,
I'm trying to join two tables using outer join. Both tables are effective dated:
Dept_Tbl: dept_id, status, effdt
Tips_Tbl: dept_id, tips_id, effdt
Not all records in Dept_Tbl are in Tips_Tbl. I need to get all active depts and their most recent tips_id if they have one.
select a.dept_id, b.tips_id
from dept_tbl a, tips_tbl b
where a.status = 'Active'
and a.effdt =
(select max(a_ed.effdt) from dept_tbl a_ed
where a.dept_id = a_ed.dept_id
and a_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE)
and b.dept_id(+) = a.dept_id
and b.effdt =
(select max(b_ed.effdt) from tips_tbl b_ed
where b.dept_id = b_ed.dept_id
and b.tips_id = b_ed.tips_id
and b_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE)
The query only returns records that are in both tables.
Is there a way for outer join to work with effective dates?
Thanks in advance,
Reg
Here is an example of one solution. Note the use of NVL on both sides of the equal sign since both sides could be NULL in the case of the outer join
with dept_tbl as (select 1 dept_id, SYSDATE effdt FROM DUAL),
tips_tbl as (select 1 dept_id, NULL effdt FROM DUAL)
select a.effdt
from dept_tbl a,
tips_tbl b
where b.dept_id(+) = a.dept_id
and NVL(b.effdt, SYSDATE) = NVL((select max(b_ed.effdt)
from tips_tbl b_ed
where b.dept_id = b_ed.dept_id
and b_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE), SYSDATE);

There is no limit to the number of tables you can outer join as long as you join them correctly.

Case statement resulting into Left outer join with other tables
Hi All ,
I am facing a stuation where a Case statement on one of the logical columns in Answers is resulting into a left outer join with a table in the query.
If we remove the case stmt, the table is not being acessed.
The case stmt is a simple one and no other logical column is being accessed in the case stmt.
Please advice .
Thanks.Hi Sai,
No ..we dont have any left outer join ...its just that I am selecting measure from F1 which has a confimred dimension D1 with F2.Now when I dont have case stmt on measure from F1(Case stmt is something like : CASE WHEN "- P table"."P Column" = 'Y' THEN 'Right' ELSE 'Wrong' END), then it doesnt query F2.
However as soon as I introduce the case stmt ,the query creates a left outer join with F2.
Thanks. -
I have written the below query, our requirement is, Some employees have "Transport Allowance" but not "Project Allowance". For this, I tried to use OUTER JOIN with this query. But this query takes long time and failed.

Problem with outer join with filter on join column
Hi,
In physical layer I have one dimension and two facts, and there's an outer join between the facts.
dim_DATE ,
fact_1 ,
fact_2
Joins:
dim_DATE inner join fact_1 on dim_DATE.DATE = fact_1.DATE
fact_1 left outer join fact_2 on fact_1.DATE = fact_2.DATE and fact_1.SOME_ID = fact_2.SOME_ID
When I run a report with a date as a filter, OBIEE executes "optimized" physical SQL:
select fact1.X, fact2.Y
from
Fact_1 left outer join on fact_1.DATE = fact_2.DATE and fact_1.SOME_ID = fact_2.SOME_ID
where Fact_1.DATE = TO_DATE('2009-05-28' , 'YYYY-MM-DD' )
and Fact_2.DATE = TO_DATE('2009-05-28' , 'YYYY-MM-DD')
The filter on Fact_2.DATE effectively replaces outer join with inner.
Is there a way to disable this "optimization", which is actually very good for inner joins, but doesn't allow outer joins?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Edited by: AM_1 on Aug 11, 2009 8:20 AMIf you want to perform a Fact-based partitioning with OBIEE (two fact with the same dimension), you have to :
* create in your physical layer for each fact table the joins with the dimension
* create in the Business Model layer ONE star schema with ONE logical fact table containing the columns of your two physical fact table
In this way when you choose minimal one column of your fact1 and one column of your fact2, OBIEE will perform two query against each fact table/dimension, join them with an OUTER JOIN and your problem will disappear.
Cheers

Need to specify LEFT OUTER JOIN while using data from logical database BRM?
I'm trying to extract data for external processing using SQVI. The fields required are in tables BKPF (Document Header) and BSEG (document detail) so I'm using logical database BRM. Note: required fields include the SPGR* (blocking reasons) which don't appear to be in BSIS/BSAS/BSID/BSAD/BSIK/BSAK, hence I can't just use a Table Join on any of these but have to use BSEG, hence BRM.
If the document type is an invoice, I also need to include the PO number from table EKKO (PO header), if present, hence I'd like to add this to the list. However, if I do this, it seems that some records are no longer display, e.g. AB documents.
The interesting thing is that not all records are suppressed, so it's not a simple case of the logical database using an effective INNER JOIN, but the effect is similar.
In any event, is there a way to specify that the link to table EKKO should be treated as an effective LEFT OUTER JOIN, i.e. records from BKPF/BSEG should be included irrespective of whether any records from EKKO/EKPO exist or not?
Alternatively, is there some other way to get the SPGR* fields (for example) from BSEG and still join the BKPF? Of course, one solution is to use multiple queries, but I was hoping to avoid this.Thanks for everyone's responses, I know how to work around the problem with sql, I am wanting to see if there is a way to make the outer joins filter go in the join clause instead of the where clause with Crystal Reports standard functionality.
We have some Crystal Reports users that are not sql users, i.e. benefit specialists, payroll specialists and compensation analysts who have Crystal Reports. I was hoping this functionality was available for them. I just made my example a simple one, but often reports have multiple outer joins with maybe 2 or three of the outer joins needing a filter on them that won't make them into an inner join.
Such as
Select person information
outer join address record
outer join email record
outer join tax record (filter for active state record & filter for code = STATE )
outer join pay rates record
outer join phone#s (filter for home phone#)
I thought maybe the functionality may be available, that I just don't know how or where to use it. Maybe it is just not available.
If it is not available, I will probably need to setup some standard views for them to query, rather than expecting them to pull the tables together themselves. -
GL Trial Balance Report with Effective Dates as Parameters
We have a requirement to show the GL Trial Balance report with Effective dates as Parameters.
Current Analysis:
The Journals get updated with corresponding CCID in GL_BALANCES table when the Journal is posted. GL_BALANCE is SOB specific, if the SOB has month as period then the balances in GL_BALANCES would get updated against the month(period).
To overcome the period problem, we explored the option of using a View based on GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE_LINES for 'Posted' Journal Batches of a SOB. We are checking whether the GL_JE_HEADERS.default_effective_date lies between the :p_from_date and :p_to_date which is sent to the Report as a parameter. The above idea does not return expected data when the custom Trial Balance Report is run.
Following is the Query being used:

How to achieve an outer join with existsNode() function

In this case if the existsNode fails on B or C, I still want data from A to be selected. How to rewrite this query to achieve that? I kinda want to achieve an outer joinHi,
is this what you are looking for:

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. -

I have a very complicated query to construct that requires the use of 'AND', 'OR', and Outer Joins. Oracle's 9i documentation says you can't use an outer join with an 'OR'.
Can you suggest how I may return the correct records under the following conditions. There are 3 tables to join. Table A, Table B, and Table C. Tables A & B join with an = to common fields. The problem is with Table C.
The way the application was designed, it has to track a parent and child relationship. As such, the field to relate may exist in 1 of 2 fields. Let's see if I can draw it out for you.
Table A - Record 1
(ID = 1)
Table B - Record 1
(ID =1 [this relates to Table A.ID]
PID = 12345
CID = 67899
Site = A)
Table C - Record 1
(PID = 12345 [this relates to Table B.PID]
CID = 67899
Site = A)
Table C - Record 2
(PID = 67899 [This relates to Table B.CID]
CID = 12345
Site = A)
Now, I need to relate Table A to Table B where A.ID = B.ID AND
((B.PID = C.PID AND B.CID = C.CID)
OR
(B.CID = C.PID AND B.PID = C.CID))
AND
B.SITE = C.SITE
There may or may NOT be related records in Table C. That's the problem. This is where I need the outer join to get the all the records of the 1st two joins and only those that apply from the last join.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.I'd create two queries, a join from b to c in each of those manners and then UNION ALL the results together.
drop table junk_a;
create table junk_a (
id number );
drop table junk_b;
create table junk_b (
id number,
pid number,
cid number,
site varchar2(80) );
drop table junk_c;
create table junk_c (
pid number,
cid number,
site varchar2(80) );
insert into junk_a values (1);
insert into junk_b values (1, 12345, 67899, 'A');
insert into junk_c values (12345, 67899, 'A');
insert into junk_c values (67899, 12345, 'A');

I have 2 tables (A and B) which i need to join. I need all records from table A and matching records from the table B. below is the structure.
TABLE A (total rows = 10)
ROW_WID
GL_DATE
LOCATION_CODE
TABLE B (total = 7)

Initially, we were asked to join based on location_code. In the table B, some of the LOCATION_CODE are missing, which is present in table A.
We wrote below query
SELECT A.*, B.START_DATE, B.END_DATE
FROM A, B
WHERE A.LOCATION_CODE = B.LOCATION_CODE (+)
This gives 10 records, where 3 records have START_DATE and END_DATE NULL. because of outer join
It gave all records from the A table. It worked fine. Now i need to add one more condition where A.GL_DATE between B.START_DATE and B.END_DATE
If i write this
SELECT A.*, B.START_DATE, B.END_DATE
FROM A, B
WHERE A.LOCATION_CODE = B.LOCATION_CODE (+)
AND A.GL_DATE BETWEEN B.START_DATE and B.END_DATE
This gives me only 7 records. IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD OUTER JOIN with BETWEEN clause.Hi All,
I'm in a similar situation,
I have a complex query, everything is working fine, except this part (I will simplify everything, removing other stuffs because I need help only on the following condition)
SELECT *
from transaction t, card c
where c.card_id = t.card_id (+)
and t.trn_date between to_date ('01/01/2012','dd/mm/yy') and ('01/01/2013,'dd/mm/yy')
How could i OUTER JOIN the between condition?
I tried with
and t.trn_date between to_date ('01/01/2012','dd/mm/yy') (+) and ('01/01/2013','dd/mm/yy') (+)
but returns a "missing expression" error.
Surely I'm missing some stupid thing about it, could you help me on this? (probably because I'm talking about parameters and I cannot put the outer join on a value)
How can I rewrite the condition in order to satisfy what I'm trying to accomplish?
Thanks in Advance,
Alex

Join columns of outer join with table have no uniqueness cons
Hi! I'm getting noizy error in alert log from time to time:
Join columns of outer join with table <table_name> have no uniqueness constraints
I've collected all the queries (v$sql, all_source) with montioned table, but non of them produces that error if executed.
Any hints how to reproduce this error or where else to search that buggy sql join?
Edited by: user545083 on 25.10.2010 6:21Hi
I think this error is output via an materialized view refresh - check for mviews against the given table which fulfil the issue given in the error text.
Thanks

Inner join Vs Outer join with ABAP code...?
Inner join Vs Outer join with ABAP code...?
Inner Join means, it will not select that recor at all, unless there is a matching entry in the second table.
suppose table VBAK INNER join table VBAP on VBAKVBELN = VBAPVBELN.
In this case, if there are no entries in VBAP, the header entry also will not show up.
But in case of OUTER JOIN, even if there is no items, it will show the header entry(VBAK) with blank columns for fields from item table.(VBAP)
here is one sample for inner join.
SELECT A~EBELN
A~EKORG
A~EKGRP
A~BSART
A~LPONR
A~LOEKZ
A~LIFNR
A~RESWK
B~AEDAT
B~WERKS
B~MATNR
B~MENGE
B~EBELP
B~ELIKZ
B~PLIFZ
B~PSTYP
B~KNTTP
B~MATKL
B~ZZD_PLANT
FROM EKKO AS A INNER JOIN EKPO AS B
ON
AEBELN = BEBELN
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE T_DATA
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_EKET
WHERE
A~EBELN EQ T_EKET-EBELN AND
A~BSART EQ C_UBSTO AND
A~EKORG IN S_EKORG AND

Peoplesoft Query Outer join with MAX EFFDT
I have this criteria in my PS Query
where A.emplid = B.emplid
and B.effdt = (select max( B1.effdt ) from PS_TABLE_B B1 where B1.effdt <= SYSDATE )
Need to do an OUTER JOIN for B.
Ie. If no row found in B, then return blank so that row in A can be returned by query.
It's OK for A.emplid = B.emplid(+)
But how to approach for and B.effdt = (select max ... ?
Please adviseIf I remember it right, if you write outer joins using ( + ), there shouldn't be any other non-outer join criteria in your SQL, otherwise it will negate its being an 'outer join'.
so for your (1) this highlighted SQL block negates your 'outer join' condition
AND A.EMPLID = C.EMPLID(+)
AND ( C.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX( D.EFFDT)
FROM PS_D D
WHERE D.EMPLID = C.EMPLID
AND D.ACTION_REASON = 'MAT'
AND ( D.RETURN_DT IS NULL OR D.RETURN_DT > SYSDATE))
OR C.EFFDT IS NULL) )
you should see more from here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/queries006.htm#SQLRF52336
From that article, it says.. "If A and B are joined by multiple join conditions, then you must use the operator in all of these conditions. If you do not, then Oracle Database will return only the rows resulting from a simple join, but without a warning or error to advise you that you do not have the results of an outer join."
What I suggest, create a SQL view to replace C that retrieves exactly what C has to retrieve.. probably something like this
SELECT D.*
FROM PS_D D
WHERE D.ACTION_REASON = 'MAT'
AND( D.RETURN_DT IS NULL OR D.RETURN_DT > SYSDATE )
AND D.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(EFFDT) ... )
and reference that new SQL view for C.. so that in your query, it should only look something like
AND A.EMPLID = C.EMPLID(+)
AND( C.EFFDT =
(SELECT MAX( D.EFFDT )
FROM PS_D D
WHERE D.EMPLID = C.EMPLID
AND D.ACTION_REASON = 'MAT'
AND( D.RETURN_DT IS NULL
OR D.RETURN_DT > SYSDATE )
OR C.EFFDT IS NULL ) )
Hope this helps
