Problem in case of or condition in where clause in case of leftouter joi.

hi
i am encountering a wierd problem.
in a select query if i have a left outer join and a or condition in where clause the order of condition in or matters and if i use a to_char problem is solved.
see query below
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (CS_FLAG='C' or CS_flag ='B') and custsupp.state = a.id
i have a single record in table custsupp with CS_FLAG ='B' the above does not return result. but if i move CS_FLAG='B' on left of or i.e
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (CS_FLAG='B' or CS_flag ='C') and custsupp.state = a.id
i get the rsult.
also if i remove left outer join and keep order of condition as it is i get result i.e
select * from custsupp ,state a where (CS_FLAG='C' or CS_flag ='B') and custsupp.state = a.id
also if i add a to_char to co,umns CS_FLAG i get the result.
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (to_char(CS_FLAG)='C' or to_char(CS_flag ='B')) and custsupp.state = a.id
why it is so?
CS_flag is of type nchar

First if you don't want to take credit of the free sample then follow the below procedure:
1. Do the GRN for all the three item and for the free item in the excise tab at the item level select the material as non cenvatable. Just remember to add base value of the item
2. If you want to capture the Part1 entry then just do the normal transaction and while posting the excise with J1IEX just remove the excise duties for the free item.
3. For paying the vendor the excise amount, just do subsequent debit in the MIRO and in the details tab add in the unplanned delivery cost the amount that you want to pay for the excise duties
Second case if you want to take credit of the duties:
1. Do the Normal GRN process, add the base value and excise values for the free item.
2. Post the Excise duites with J1iEX.
3. The with the account entry you can settle the excise payment
Hope this will help you
Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy

Problem in adding one condition in where clause

         where bukrs eq gt_covp_ext-bukrs and
               awtyp eq 'MKPF'.
Here i have to add one more condition in where clause
AWKEY = ( Concatenated string of gt_covp_ext-REFBN + gt_covp_ext-REFGJ )
As i am not using loop at gt_covp_ext.How to implement this condition in Where clause.

Hi,
Create a new internal table gt_covp_ext_new with the same structure as gt_covp_ext. Include an extra field in gt_covp_ext_new-concat, to store the concatenated value.
Copy all entries from gt_covp_ext to gt_covp_ext_new.
Loop at gt_covp_ext.
move-corresponding gt_covp_ext to gt_covp_ext_new.
gt_covp_ext_new-concat = gt_covp_ext-REFBN + gt_covp_ext-REFGJ .
append gt_covp_ext_new.
endloop.
Now use this new internal table in the query.
select bukrs belnr gjahr
bldat budat cpudt
xblnr waers awtyp awkey
from bkpf
into corresponding fields of table t_bkpf
for all entries in gt_covp_ext_new
where bukrs eq gt_covp_ext_new-bukrs and
awkey eq gt_covp_ext_new-concat and
awtyp eq 'MKPF'.
Hope this answers your qn.

How can I pass multiple condition in where clause with the join table?

Hi:
I need to collect several inputs at run time, and query the record according to the input.
How can I pass multiple conditions in where clause with the join table?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
TD

If you are using SQL-Plus or Reports you can use lexical parameters like:
SELECT * FROM emp &condition;
When you run the query it will ask for value of condition and you can enter what every you want. Here is a really fun query:
SELECT &columns FROM &tables &condition;
But if you are using Forms. Then you have to change the condition by SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY.
Best of luck!

PL/SQL Evaluation problem of where clause in case of NUMBER column type

I found the following problem in Oracle® Database 2 Day Developer's Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1) B28843-04:
The sole parameter of function eval_frequency is employee_id IN employees.employee_id%TYPE.
An ORA-01422 exception occurs when the execution reaches the following select command
SELECT e.hire_date
INTO hire_date
FROM employees e
WHERE employee_id= e.employee_id;
A possible cause of the error is that the type of employee_id is NUMBER while the employees.employee_id is NUMBER(6,0) . The result of the selection is the same as there were no WHERE clause at all.
Everything worked fine, when I declared a temporary variable of NUMBER(6,0) for storing the actual parameter of function and used this variable in the where clause, but I consider this "solution" as being no solution.
It is pointless to use %TYPE parameter of a function for flexibility if I must degrade this flexibility by a fixed declaration of a temporary variable of the same type as the column in question.
What is wrong?
The Developer'Guide I used, the Oracle Sql Developer I used or the PL/SQL version ?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!

A possible cause of the error is that the type of employee_id is NUMBER while the employees.employee_id is NUMBER(6,0) . The result of the selection is the same as there I don't think so. The variable employee_id is defined as having the exact same type as the eponymous column. Even if it didn't, I believe Oracle will always implicity convert between datatypes when possible, rounding if necessary. That may cause errors, but it isn't causing this error.
No, the error has nothing to do with the data type. It has to do with the ambiguity of employee_id: is it a column, or is it a variable?
The default is that it means the column name, so
WHERE   employee_id = e.employee_idis equivalent to saying
WHERE   e.employee_id = e.employee_idwhich isn't quite the same thing as not having a WHERE clause; rows with NULL employee_id would still be excluded, if there were any.
I think it's best not to use variable names that are the same as column names. You could call the variable v_employee_id, or, since it's an IN-argument, in_employee_id.
If you must use a variable that can be mistaken for a column, then qulaify it with the name of the procedure, like this:
WHERE   eval_frequency.employee_id = e.employee_id
Everything worked fine, when I declared a temporary variable of NUMBER(6,0) for storing the actual parameter of function That makes sens. You probably gave that variable a name that couldn't be mistaken for a column in the table.

How to use the MAX DATE condition in WHERE CLAUSE FILEDS

Hi,
I am trying to fetch the result for getting maximun date but when i try to execute the query i am getting the error as follows.
CONDITION : trunc(max(RD.DATERECEIVED)) BETWEEN TO_DATE('01/08/2011','DD/MM/YYYY') AND TO_DATE('01/08/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')

CHEERS,
PRABU AMMAIAPPAN

I see a couple of problems here.
First, what you posted below is not a syntactically valid query. It seems to be part of a larger query, specifically, this looks to be only the GROUP BY clause of a query.

As you discovered, if you attempt to do so, you'll find it doesn't work. If you stop and think about how SQL is processed, it should make sense to you why the SQL is not valid.
If you want to apply a filter condition such as:
trunc(max(RD.DATERECEIVED)) BETWEEN TO_DATE('01/08/2011','DD/MM/YYYY') AND TO_DATE('01/08/2011','DD/MM/YYYY')you should do it in a HAVING clause, not a where clause:
select ....

where ....
group by ....
having max(some_date) between this_date and that_date;Hope that helps,

How to change operator of join conditions in where clause?

Hello
I have a situation... I want to change the operator between each join conditions in the where clause when these join conditions are not from the same join..
For example, I have the following schema:
Dim1 ------ DimA -------Fact1
Dim1-------DimB -----Fact1
So DimA and DimB are aliasas of one dim table, but the join is different.
Now if I run this model, what I will get in the where clause of the query is:
Where Dim1 = DimA and Dim1 = DimB and DimA= Fact1 and DimB = fact1.
Is there a way I can change these "and" operator to "OR", so that the where clause would look like this: Where Dim1 = DimA and Dim1 = DimB and DimA= Fact1 OR DimB = fact1?
This is different from simply changing the join operator within the same join, because these are different joins and I'd like to control how they relate to each other..
Please help
Thanks

Sometimes, business rules are complex, so there isn't always a way to simplify things. Is your issue that it's complex and error prone, or is it performance due to the OR clauses?
One possibility that will at least make it easier to test and debug is something like this: (pseudocode)
From Table1 Inner join Table2 on x=y etc.etc.
CROSS APPLY
(Select case when a=b and (c=d or e=f) then 1 else 0 end) as Situation1
, case when h=i or j = k then 1 else 0 end) as situation2
, case when l = m then 1 else 0 end) as situation 3
) as CA_Logic_Simplifier
Where situation1 = 1 and situation2 = 1 and situation3 = 1
Although you could say, "Hey, this is basically doing the same thing as before", this approach would be far easier to test and debug, because you can at a glance look at the values for situation1, 2, 3, etc. to see where errors are being introduced.
The cross apply makes the columns situation1/2/3 "instantiated", so they are usable in the where clause. Divide and conquer.

Case or Decode in the Where clause

Dear all,
My requirement is:
If user select other then "ALL"option from the LOV the following condition should be part of the where clause.
current_req_status = :block1.req_statusIf user select "ALL" from the lov no need to append the above condition in the where clause.
Please give me the sample code
select request_id,doc_name,doc_code,part_id,current_req_status from test_table
where req_type = 'I'
and doc_code = :BLOCK1.doc_code
and -- Here is the condition is changed based on
        the :BLOCK1.req_status(LOV).
     -- If user select other then "All" option from
        this LOV the query append the below condition
        current_req_status = :block1.req_status
      -- Else no need append the above condition
         in the query where clause.Edited by: roots on Apr 10, 2012 9:31 AM
Edited by: roots on Apr 10, 2012 9:38 AM

Hi InoL,
In the database column not having "ALL" value inside. so the match does not return any values.
My LOV has "A1,A2,A3,A4,....ALL" . the database column having "A1,A2,A3,A4.......". here no "ALL" value.
So if user select "ALL" option from this LOV, that means select all vaules from the database (A1,A2,A3,A4......)..
If user select A1 from the lov the select query include only the matched
column values.from example,
select....
where nvl(database_column,'X')= nvl(:Block1.LOV_value)If user select "ALL" option then no need for above condition in the where clause so that query returns all the rows from the database column.
hope I've clearly explain my requirement.
Thanks lot,
Roots.

Case condition in where clause

Hi
I'm a SQL beginner but according to my reading of the manual, this syntax should be acceptable. I'm using it in application express but tested it also in SQL developer and finding that it fails with an "invalid relational operator" error, with the line number pointing to the ELSE clause of the CASE condition, but a column number pointing to white space.
This is a nested select but that shouldn't matter. The fragment in question is this:
select some columns
from res
where res.villaid = :P605_VILLAID
and INSTR(:P604_RES_STATES, res.states) != 0
and (CASE :P604_EXCLUDE_ZERO
WHEN 'Y' THEN 'res.rate > 0'
ELSE 'res.rate >= 0'
END)
and res.DEPARTDATE > :P605_STARTDATE
and res.ARRIVEDATE <= :P605_ENDDATE,
I hope this formats ok when posted. The code is looking for reservations in a date range (which works fine when the other conditions are commented out), and should only output zero-rate rows (complimentary nights) if the user asks for this in the P604_EXCLUDE_ZERO bind variable. There are probably other ways to go about this, but I am too stubborn to give up on this. Well, not yet anyway.
Thanks and regards
CS

select some columns
from res
where res.villaid = :p605_villaid
       and instr (:p604_res_states, res.states) != 0
       and sign (res.rate) >= case when :p604_exclude_zero = 'Y' then 1 else 0 end
       and res.departdate > :p605_startdate
       and res.arrivedate <= :p605_enddate

polachan

Select top 1 studentid from student
where (rollno =:@rollno or :@rollno is null)
and (regno =:@regno or :@regno is null)
The above expression will work in SQL server
I'm not sure you're using sql server as syntax like :@regno are not t-sql valid
so you can try the above and if it doesnt work please try in the relevant forums for more help in case you're using a different RDBMS

anyway thanks again

How to use maximum date condition in where clause ?

Hi I want to check if SWITCH_FLAG has 'Y' for the latest batch run..how can write it?
(select a.SWITCH_FLAG

This will give you the switch_flag for the latest eff_date,
SELECT SWITCH_FLAG
FROM (SELECT A.SWITCH_FLAG, ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY SYS_EFF_DATE DESC) rn
FROM mortgage A)
WHERE rn = 1;
--if you want to test try this,
SELECT SWITCH_FLAG,SYS_EFF_DATE

Retrieve List Items based on condition in Where Clause

Hello Experts,
I am trying to retrieve list items from a list (CityList) which contains 2 columns one is city(string) and State(Lookup) based on Lookup value, but i am getting all city names.
here is my query below.
function MainFunction() {
var lookupid = 5;
var myQueryString = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='State' LookupId='true' /><Value Type='Lookup'>"+lookupid+"</Value></Eq></Where>";
var myContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current(); ;
var myWeb = myContext.get_web();
var myList = myWeb.get_lists().getByTitle("CityList");
var myQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
myQuery.set_viewXml(myQueryString);
myItems = myList.getItems(myQuery);
myContext.load(myItems, 'Include(Title)');
myContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, GetListDataSuccess), Function.createDelegate(
this, GetListDataFail));
function GetListDataFail(sender, args) {
// Show error message
alert('GetListDataFail() failed:' + args.get_message());
function GetListDataSuccess(sender, args) {
var currListItemCount = myItems.get_count();
var currItemEnumerator = myItems.getEnumerator();
var currItemDetails = '';
while (currItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var currItem = currItemEnumerator.get_current();
currItemDetails = currItemDetails + ';' + currItem.get_item("Title");
// Show details
alert(currItemDetails);
Please suggest where i am wrong.
Thank you

You need to enclose the <Where> tag inside <View><Query> . Try like below
var myQueryString = "<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='State' LookupId='TRUE' />
<Value Type='Lookup'>"+lookupid+"</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>";

Using case when statement or decode stament in where clause

hi gems..
i have a problem in the following query..
i am trying to use case when statement in the where clause of a select query.
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,
cr.salary as salary
from customer_details cr
where (case when '>' = '>' then 'cr.salary > 5000'
when '>' = '<' then 'cr.salary < 5000'
when '>' = '=' then 'cr.salary = 5000'
else null
end);
the expression in the when clause of the case-when statement will come from UI and depending on the choice i need to make the where clause.
thats why for running the query, i have put '>' in that place.
so the original query will look like this(for your reference):
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,
cr.salary as salary
from customer_details cr
where (case when variable = '>' then 'cr.salary > 5000'
when variable = '<' then 'cr.salary < 5000'
when variable = '=' then 'cr.salary = 5000'
else null
end);
so, in actual case,if the user selects '>' then the filter will be "where cr.salary > 5000"
if the user selects '<' then the filter will be "where cr.salary < 5000"
if the user selects '=' then the filter will be "where cr.salary = 5000"
but i am getting the error "ORA 00920:invalid relational operator"
please help..thanks in advance..

Hi,
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,
       cr.salary                                      as salary
from customer_details cr
where (    v_variable = 'bigger'
       and cr.salary > 5000
   or (    v_variable = 'less'
      and cr.salary < 5000
   or (    v_variable = 'eq'
        and cr.salary = 5000

For some reason I can't write in sql '<', '>', '='

Case statement in where clause ??

Hello gurus,
Can we use case statements in where clause ?? Any example will be great!
And also i would like to know, besides CASE and DECODE statements, Is there any way we can use IF ELSE statements in SELECT clause or in WHERE clause ?
Thank you!!

Hi,

Hoek,
Thanks for the reply
Whatever you return from 'then' should match your criteria.I didnt get this part...can you elaborate this part ?? Thank you!!Remember what a CASE expression does: it returns a single value in one of the SQL data types (or NULL).
You're probably familiar with conditions such as
WHERE   col = 1Inthe example above, col could be replaced by any kind of expression: a function call, and operation (such as "d * 24") or a CASE expression, which is exactly what Hoek posted:
where case
         when col = 6 then 1
         when col = 9 then 1
       end = 1;I think what Hoek meant about mnatching was this: since the CASE expression is being compared to a NUMBER, then every THEN clause (as well as the ELSE, if there is one) should return the same data type. You can't have one THEN clause return a NUMBER, and another one in the same CASE expression return a DATE, like this:
where case
         when col = 6 then 1
         when col = 9 then SYSDATE     -- WRONG! Raises ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
       end = 1;
By the way, it's rare when a CASE expression really helps in a WHERE clause. CASE is great for doing conitional stuff in places where you otherwise can't (in the ORDER BY clause, for example), but the WHERE clause was designed for conditions.
Hoek was just trying to give a simple example. If you really wanted those results, it would be simpler to say:
where col = 6
or     col = 9and simpler still to say
where col IN (6, 9)
