Need help with SQL Query with Inline View + Group by

Hello Gurus,
I would really appreciate your time and effort regarding this query. I have the following data set.
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*20.00*-------------19
1234567----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment for bad quality---------44345563------------------A-----------------10.00------------19

4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765--------------------I---------------------30.00-------------19
Please Ignore '----', added it for clarity
I am trying to write a query to aggregate paid_amount based on Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number and display description with Invoice_type 'I' when there are multiple records with the same Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number. When there are no multiple records I want to display the respective Description.
The query should return the following data set
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*10.00*------------19
7654321----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment from last billing cycle-----23543556-------------------A--------------------50.00--------------19
4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765-------------------I---------------------30.00--------------19
The following is my query. I am kind of lost.
select B.Description, A.sequence_id,A.check_date, A.check_number, A.invoice_number, A.amount, A.vendor_number
from (
select sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, sum(paid_amount) amount, vendor_number
from INVOICE
group by sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, vendor_number
) A, INVOICE B
where A.sequence_id = B.sequence_id

Simpler reprsentation to SQL Query is needed

Hi all,
I have this SQL Query working goon on the Database but have some errors with Form developer so can anybody simplify it?
     SELECT *

                       FROM Returned_Goods
                       JOIN Products
                       ON returned_goods.productId = products.Id
                       GROUP BY returned_goods.productId, products.Name
                       ORDER BY COUNT (returned_goods.ID) DESC)
        WHERE ROWNUM = 1;btw, the error encounter me in Forms appears here if anybody can help: [SQL Code not working in Forms Developer without Functions|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=842122&tstart=0]
Thanks in advance :)

The simpler SQL Staement is
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT   COUNT (returned_goods.ID) AS "Max Occurence", products.Name
FROM returned_goods, products
     WHERE
     Returned_Goods.ProductId = Products.id
         GROUP BY returned_goods.productId, products.Name
         ORDER BY COUNT (returned_goods.ID) DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM = 1;

HELP! SQL Query: Other ways to reorder column display?

I have a SQL query report with a large number of columns (users can hide/show columns as desired). It would be great if the column display order could be changed by changing the order of the columns in the SELECT list in the Report Definition, but that doesn't work -- it puts changed or added columns at the end regardless of the order in the SELECT list of the query.
Is there some other way to reorder the columns displayed without using the Report Attributes page? It's extremely tedious to move columns around using the up/down arrows which redisplays the page each time. Am I missing a way to change display order, or does anyone have a "trick" to do this? It's so painful....
When defining forms you can reoder columns by specifying a sequence number for each column. Just curious as to why reports were not done the same way, and are there any plans to address this in a future release?
Karen

Yes, reordering columns is extremely painful.
It is supposed to be much improved in the next version.
See
Re: Re-ordering columns on reports
Moving columns up/down in Report Attributes
See my example at
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:141
Basically, let the users move columns around until they are blue in the face, provide a Save button to save the column order in a user preference and reorder the columns when the page reloads.
Or you can use Carl's PL/SQL shuttle as the widget to specify the columns shown and their order. The shuttle is at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:27
Hope this helps.

Need Help in SQL Query

Hi all,
I have data in the following manner:
CASE_NUMBER HOURS FLAG
1000 10 0
1000 20 0
1000 30 1
1000 40 0
1000 50 1
Here I need to Calculate the total hours for a Case_number till i see the flag as 1.
Here the result must be 10+20+30 Hrs
Another Example
CASE_NUMBER HOURS FLAG
2000 10 1
2000 20 1
Here the result must be only 10.
I am struggling to write a SQL query for this.
Anyones help will be very much greatful
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Sengathir Subbarayan

Look up analytical functions.
something like sum(hours) OVER (PARTITION BY case_number ORDER BY something)
will give you the sum for all rows.
Then you probably want to "throw away" those rows after the flag maybe by summing the flag column too, and throw away all those where the flag is greater than 1 and where it is equal to 1 except for the first one.
I suspect you actually have some other column (other than the number of hours) that define your order - that's what you put in the ORDER BY.

Need a help in SQL query

Hi,
I need a help in writing an SQL query . I am actually confused how to write a query. Below is the scenario.
CREATE TABLE demand_tmp

CREATE TABLE order_tmp

INSERT INTO demand_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,821,100,30 FROM dual;
INSERT INTO demand_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,849,350,30 FROM dual;
INSERT INTO demand_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,NULL,150,29 FROM dual;
INSERT INTO demand_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,0,50,-1 FROM dual;
INSERT INTO order_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,821,'Y' FROM dual;
INSERT INTO order_tmp
SELECT 12438,82,849,'N' FROM dual;
Demand_tmp:
Item_id        org_id   order_line_id       quantity      order_type

12438     82                  849                N     I need to fetch the records from demand_tmp table whose order_line_id is present in order_tmp and having open_flag as 'Y' or if order_type in demand_tmp table is 29.
The below query will give the records whose order line id is present in order_tmp. But, If i need records which are having order_type=29 the below query wont return any records as order_line_id is NULL. If I place outer join I will get other records also (In this example order_type -1 records) . Please help me how can we write a query for this. Expected o/p is below.
Query :
Select item_id,org_id,order_line_id,quantity,order_type,open_flag
from demand_tmp dt , order_tmp ot
where dt.order_line_id = ot.order_line_id
AND dt.item_id=ot.item_id
AND dt.org_id = ot.org_id
AND ot.open_flag = 'Y';
Expected Output :
item_id     org_id     order_line_id     quantity     order_type   open_flag
12438     82                 821               100                    30             Y

Hi Rakesh,
the query is not working as you would like ( but IS working as expected ) since your trying to compare null to another value.
Comparing null always results in FALSE, also if you compare null to null. This is because null means undefined.
select 1 from dual where null=null results in no data found.
I would suggest using a non natural key to join the tables.
For example include a column ID in the master table which is filled with a sequence and include that field as a foreign key in the detail table.
This way you can easily join master and detail on ID = ID, and you don't have to worry about null values in this column since it's always filled with data.
Regards,
Bas
btw, using the INNER JOIN and OUTER JOIN syntax in your SQL makes it better readable, since you're separating join conditions from the where clause, just a tip ;)

Help with SQL query invloving time operations

I have created 2 tables in my SQL. One is the user_info table which stores the time of login and timezone of login for each user. The other is the post_table which stores the postid, user who makes the post, time of post and timezone for each posts.

Need help writing sql query

i am trying to write sql query for a single recordset.
I have an items table with all the standard item info and an item_colorID.
i have a color_lookup table with 2 columns, item_colorID and color_ID
i have a colors table with 2 columns, color_ID and color
i want to join the tables and filter it so that a repeat region shows dynamic data of item name, description, thumb, price
and also a list/menu dynamically populated by color
filtered so that each item shows in the list/menu only the colors that the item has available.
i have tried different variations of this sql
SELECT * FROM items INNER JOIN color_lookup ON color_lookup.item_colorID = items.item_colorID INNER JOIN colors ON colors.color_ID = color_lookup.color_ID WHERE items.itemCatID = 3 ORDER BY items.itemName
but the list/menu shows every color choice multiplied by the number of items in that color
ie White will show 80+ times.
thanks for your help,
jim balthrop

bregent,
thanks for your help.
I am building a shopping cart and i have a recordset to list the items and a repeat region for that recordset
i have a second recordset for the colors joined to the item_colorID nested inside the repeat region.
the shopping cart software has a 'lookup from recordset' choice for the add to cart servior behavior
and then i bind to the columns on the cart page.
it produces this code
if (isset($totalRows_rs_itemscat3) && $totalRows_rs_itemscat3 > 0)    {
    $row_rs_itemscat3 = WAEC_findRecordMySQL($rs_itemscat3, "item_ID", $ATC_itemID);
    if ($row_rs_itemscat3)    {
      $ATC_itemName = "".$row_rs_itemscat3['itemName'] ."";// column binding
      $ATC_itemDescription = "".$row_rs_itemscat3['itemShortDesc'] ."";// column binding
      $ATC_itemWeight = floatval("".$row_rs_itemscat3['itemWeight'] ."");// column binding
      $ATC_itemQuantity = "".$_POST["Farrington_1_Quantity_Add"] ."";// column binding
      $ATC_itemPrice = floatval("".$row_rs_itemscat3['itemPrice'] ."");// column binding
      $ATC_itemThumbnail = "".$row_rs_itemscat3['itemThumb'] ."";// column binding
      $ATC_itemcolorchoice = "".$row_rs_colors['color'] ."";// column binding
      mysql_data_seek($rs_itemscat3, 0);
      $row_rs_itemscat3 = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_itemscat3);
the column binding for the colors is from a different recordset and when redirecting to the cart page the color info will not show.
So my thinking is if i could get the color list/menu to populate from the same recordset as the item listing, it would solve my add to cart server behavior.
Is it possible to do this with only one recordset?
the products page and the cart page can be seen
http://www.farrington-enterprises.com/rain-gutters.php
add an item to the cart with any color choice and the color info does not carry to the cart.

20 city dallas
40 Misc 1 90
50 Misc 1 desc min amount
60 Misc 2 700
70 Misc 2 desc interest amount
80 Misc 3
80 Misc 3 desc
SQL should return result as shown below
id object_name object_value
10 prop_num 436
20 city dallas
40 min amount 90
50 interest amount 700
I have done this through plsql code by creating temp table. But I need to do it in a sql query. I am stuck here
Any pointers/help is appreciated
Thanks

I have a table where the ids are stored.
*"object name"* column values are actually another table columns stored as rows here. So in our example prop_num, city,Misc 1, Misc 1 desc, Misc 2, Misc 2
desc,Misc 3 , Misc 3 desc are all columns. These would not change any time
The column object_value has values stored for respective columns.
436, dallas , 90 , min amount , 700 , interest amount are all column values. So these can change.
id object_name object_value
10 prop_num 436
20 city dallas
40 Misc 1 90
50 Misc 1 desc min amount
60 Misc 2 700
70 Misc 2 desc interest amount
80 Misc 3
90 Misc 3 desc

Help Req SQL QUERY

Hi All,
I need help to get a sql query for included dates
I have this scenario
create table test (names varchar2(100),start_date date,end_date date,exc_flg number);
insert into test values('John',to_date('01-jan-2009','dd-mon-yyyy'),to_date('31-dec-2011','dd-mon-yyyy'),0);
insert into test values('John',to_date('01-jan-2009','dd-mon-yyyy'),to_date('31-dec-2010','dd-mon-yyyy'),1);
insert into test values('Joseph',to_date('01-jan-2009','dd-mon-yyyy'),to_date('31-dec-2011','dd-mon-yyyy'),0);
insert into test values('Jack',to_date('01-jan-2009','dd-mon-yyyy'),to_date('31-dec-2010','dd-mon-yyyy'),0);
In the above case john is included for this duration start_date is '01-jan-2009' and end_date is '31-dec-2011' and is excluded for this duration '01-jan-2009','31-dec-2010'
Now i want to dispay John's incuded duration as ''01-jan-2011','31-dec-2011'
My sql output should be
Names start_date end_date
John 01-jan-2011 31-dec-2011
Joseph 01-jan-2009 31-dec-2011
Jack 01-jan-2009 31-dec-2010
Thanks in Advance

Hi there,
seems like the old "find those time gaps" problem. I tried to solve it in pure SQL, and since it's Monday I didn't want to wrap my mind around the MODEL clause,
therefore my solution looks a bit cluttered - feel free to improve.
create table test (names varchar2(100),start_date date,end_date date,exc_flg number);
INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('John',to_date('01-01-2009','dd-mm-yyyy'),to_date('31-12-2011','dd-mm-yyyy'),0);
INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('John',to_date('01-01-2009','dd-mm-yyyy'),to_date('31-12-2010','dd-mm-yyyy'),1);
INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('John',to_date('01-04-2011','dd-mm-yyyy'),to_date('01-07-2011','dd-mm-yyyy'),1);
INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('Joseph',to_date('01-01-2009','dd-mm-yyyy'),to_date('31-12-2011','dd-mm-yyyy'),0);
INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('Jack',to_date('01-01-2009','dd-mm-yyyy'),to_date('31-12-2010','dd-mm-yyyy'),0);
INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('Joe',to_date('01-01-2009','dd-mm-yyyy'),to_date('31-12-2011','dd-mm-yyyy'),0);
INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('Joe',to_date('01-04-2010','dd-mm-yyyy'),to_date('31-12-2011','dd-mm-yyyy'),0);

Complete novice needs help getting SQL Query into Crystal Reports XI

Post Author: MissMarnie
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
So I was given an intro level web course and a monster reference guide in prep to format a report. One of our developers wrote me everything I need for the report into a SQL Query and now I'm supposed to format it in CR XII literally do not know what to do from here. I'm able to set up the correct server as a datasource, if that's useful, but I don't know how to make the querey into a bunch of formattable fields in CR. If anyone can walk me through this, I'd be so grateful. I've attempted to look up SQL query in both the help and the book but I keep hitting a wall. The help dialog says things like "press this button" with no reference to what "this button" is. I'm sure it's obvious to the knowledgeable but I'm in a complete fog. Thanks in advance

IF you're trying to get assistance with setting up a query as the source for a report, try posting your Crystal version and the database type.
Different software works differently.
In CR 9 and above, under the connection to the database you'll see Add Command. Select that and you can paste the query in.
As for not knowing how to generate a report, that requires experience, there's no generic solution of course..

Try this, use some analytics:

7 select 'tax', null, null, null, -3.5 from dual

Help with sql query the status of A/P Reserve Invoice

Hi,
I am trying to write a query which lists all A/P Reserve Invoice info with OPEN status.
I check the OPCH table and cannot find the rule to tell the status.
The "DocStatus" field has two values only: 'O' for open and 'C' for closed.
However, the status of A/P Reserve Invoice are OPEN, CLOSED, DELIVERED, PAID, etc.
I try to use DocStatus field to filter, but the result does not match what I see in SAP.
Could you please give me some hints about how to get the data I need? Thank you.
Best regards,
Sylvia
Edited by: csylvia on Jun 23, 2011 5:54 AM

Hi Darius,
Thanks for your reply.
However, I don't know what is the relationship between Purchase order and A/P Reserve Invoice.
Do you mean using "SELECT T0.DocEntry FROM OPCH T0, OPOR T1 WHERE T0.DocNum = T1.DocNum AND T1.DocStatus = 'O';" to query the A/P Reserve Invoice data with OPEN status?
But the result is not what I want.
The result of "*SELECT * FROM OPOR WHERE DocStatus = 'O';*" is also not.
I'd like to query A/P Reserve Invoice list with OPEN status, and I try the following sql query:
SELECT DocEntry FROM OPCH WHERE DocStatus = 'O' AND InvntSttus = 'O';
The result is close to what I need, but it's not exactly correct.
Moreover, I don't think the sql query conditions is accurate.
Please give me some advice. Thank you.
Best regards,
Sylvia

Need help in SQL Query: Update a row in a table & insert the same row into another table

I want to update a row in a table say Table A and the updated row should be inserted into another table say Table B. I need to do it in a single SQL query and i don't want to do it in PL/SQL with triggers. And i tried with MERGE statement but its working with this scenario. (Note: I'm using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0).
Thanks in Advance.

Using Sven's code as an example, you could save the updated row in a sql plus variable. (also untested):
SQL> var v_id number
update tableA
set colB='ABC'
where colC='XYZ'
returning id into :v_id;
insert into table A_History (ID, colA, colB, ColC)
select id, ColA, ColB, ColC
from tableA
where id = :v_id;

Need help with sql query dates

Hi,
I have a sql query where i need to extract some info between given dates. The where clause of this query is as follows:
WHERE CPD_BUS_UNIT=:ESI_PRM_1
AND CPD_VOUCHER_DATE >= :P_DATE_FROM
AND CPD_VOUCHER_DATE < (:P_DATE_TO+1)
When i execute the query in toad, i can view the data but not the execution plan.It gives an error ORA-00932-Inconsistent Datatypes.
But when i remove (+1) from :P_DATE_TO, i can c the execution plan and data. Will the data be different from the previous one.
Please suggest how to rewrite the query.

Can you please give it a try?
WHERE CPD_BUS_UNIT=:ESI_PRM_1
AND CPD_VOUCHER_DATE >= :to_date(P_DATE_FROM)
AND CPD_VOUCHER_DATE < (to_date(:P_DATE_TO)+1) Regards
