Adding a dummy field to an oracle sql query

Hi, I'm trying to build a select statement that incorporates two dummy fields of text in the output so I can load this output to another system.
The first two fields of text I want to be the "dummy" text fields and each record should have "Budget, Final" as the first two fields of text for each row.
here's what I currently have and I'm having problems with:
select
'Budget' as "Scenario",'Final' as "Version",pa_id as "NewWells8",budget_status as "Wedge",year as "Year",month as "Months",ac_gross_gas_vol as "AC_Gross_Gas_Vol",ac_gross_oil_vol as "AC_Gross_Oil_Vol",ac_net_gas_vol as "AC_Net_Gas_Vol",ac_net_oil_vol as "AC_Net_Oil_Vol",ac_gross_condensate_vol,ac_net_condensate_vol,ac_total_capital_investment,nri_percent_oil,nri_percent_gas,gwi_percent,bpo_wi,bpo_nri,apo_wi,apo_nri
from
xxx_tablename;
this query sort of works but what I get is just a header row that says 'Scenarioo' and 'Final' but below that header row each of those two fields is blank. All other fields display data correctly.

  • Why does Oracle SQL query returning a date field without the time component

    Hi,
    I'm a novice SQL user & hv just installed Oracle SQL developer (Version 3.0.04, Build MAIN-04.34).
    I made the same SQL query using "Oracle SQL developer" & "TOAD for Oracle 9.0.1" but I got 2 different format on the same date field:
    On TOAD, I get the date field extracted as *04/26/2011 23:12:58*
    On Oracle, I get the date field extracted as *26/APR/11*
    Why is the Oracle result in a different format & missing the time component?
    Is there any option/preference that I need to set in Oracle SQL developer to get the full date/time format displayed?
    I've tried to set my the date format to DD/MON/RR HH12:MI:SSXFF AM under the preference -> database NLS but I still get the same format!
    Plse help!

  • Problem using alias field names in a sql query

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding a simple Oracle database SQL query writeup:
    In the following (badly written but properly working) SQL query:
    Query 1:
    select
    soe.field1,
    (soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
    (soe.field5 - (soe.field2 + soe.field3)) as field6,
    (select comp.parValue*soe.field7
    from
    CompTable comp) as parValue,
    (select soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
    from
    CompTable comp) as field10
    from
    SomeTable soe
    PROBLEM 1:
    I am re writing the code (soe.field2 + soe.field3) to get the alias field4 or column name field4 that I have created on the fly in the previously for use with the following fields. Can't I rewrite the query as follows. There is something simple missing!
    Query 2:
    select
    soe.field1,
    (soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
    soe.field5 - field4 as field6, <<< field4 does not work here
    (select
    comp.parValue*soe.field7
    from
    CompTable comp) as parValue,
    (select
    soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
    from
    CompTable comp) as field10
    from
    SomeTable soe
    PROBLEM 2:
    Similar to the above problem, I was thinking to get a field parValue out of the CompTable table and re-use many times rather than the code shown in Query 1:
    Query 3:
    select
    soe.field1,
    (soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
    soe.field5 - field4 as field6,
    soe.field7* (select comp.parValue from CompTable comp) as parValue1,
    soe.field8 - (parValue1*soe.field7+ soe.field9) as field10      <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
    parValue1*soe.field9 as TaxCondition               <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
    from
    SomeTable soe
    See that the query becomes so simple, but the above query does not work. There is something fundamentally wrong in my usage of the alias field names in creating other fields. The Query1 seems to be the only working option but its very slow as I am redoing and re-writing the whole code again and again to get the parValue field out of the CompTable table for use to create many other fields.
    I will appreciate if you can guide me in the right direction on this issue.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Clarification on using function in where clause of oracle sql query

    I have an issue in regarding function using where clause of sql query..
    We are facing performance issue while executing query, so in what ways to improve the performance of the query which i have posted below.
    select col ,case when my_function(parameter)
    from tab1 a ,tab2 b,tabl3 c
    where a.column1=b.column2
    and b.column3 =c.column6
    and my_function(parameter)>0
    Regards
    Dinesh
    Edited by: wild fire on May 18, 2012 4:15 PM

    Dinesh,
    remind that when you use a function in the where clause it normally will get started for each record in the table.
    So your answer is two-fold:
    1. make the function only start when needed by adding a function based index on the table (this will make inserts and updates slower)
    2. make the function faster by adding the DETERMINISTIC clause if possible. this will make Oracle "cache" the result of the function.

  • Oracle Sql Query issue Running on Different DB Version

    Hello All,
    I have come into situation where we are pruning sql queries on different DB version of Oracle and have performance issue. Let me tell you in brief and i really appreciate for your prompt response as its very imperative stuff.
    I have a query which is running on a DB of version 7.3.4 and it takes around 30 mins where as the same query when run on 8i it takes 15sec., its a huge difference. I have run the statistics to analyze on 7.3 and its comparatively very high. Question here is, the sql query trys to select data from same schema table and 2 tables from another DB using DB link and 2 other tables from another DB using DB link.So,how can we optimize this stuff and achieve this run as same time as 8i DB in 7.3. Hope i am clear about my question, Eagerly waiting for your replies.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Difficult to be sure without any more detailed information, but I suspect that O7 is in effect copying the remote tables to local temp space, then joining; 8i is factoring out a better query to send to the remote DBs, which does as much work as possible on the remote DB before shipping remaining rows back to local.
    You should be able to use EXPLAIN PLAN to identify what SQL is being shipped to the remote DB, If you can't (and it's been quite a while since I tried DB links or O7) then get the remote DBs to yourself, and set SQL_TRACE on for the remote instances. Execute the query and then examine the remote trace files, And don't forget to turn off the tracing when you're done.
    Of course it could just be that the CBO got better,,,
    HTH - if not, post your query and plans for the local db, and the remote queries.

  • Oracle SQL Query from EXCEL 2007 with prompt

    Hello,
    I have many excel reports where I am pulling information from our Oracle 9 db through Excel using the following method:
    http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/microsoft-excel/how-to-query-oracle-from-excel-2007/
    http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/30/sql-query-in-excel-2007/
    However, I am having trouble when I try the following query due to the prompt:
    SELECT
    IM.ITEM_GROUP,
    IM.ITEM,
    IM.DESCRIPTION
    FROM
    LAWSON.ITEMMAST IM
    WHERE
    IM.ITEM = '&ITEM';
    Does any one know how I can connect a prompt to an excel cell and then pass the query on to Oracle, or have a PL SQL prompt work from Excel?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    The 'prompt' as you call it is a sqlplus feature, so does not belong to the SQL language
    You would need to write a stored procedure returning a resultset.
    create or replace procedure foo(rc in out sys_refcursor, p_item) as
    begin
    open rc for
    'SELECT
    IM.ITEM_GROUP,
    IM.ITEM,
    IM.DESCRIPTION
    FROM
    LAWSON.ITEMMAST IM
    WHERE
    IM.ITEM = '||p_item;
    end;
    and call that using ODBC or asp.net
    Obviously this is profusely documented.

  • Adding some new fields for display in SAP Query

    I need to add some fields for display in SAP query  01 of  infoset /SAPQUERY/AM01. So I have changed the infoset by checking the additional fields which is already in LDB. Then I created the query by copying the 01 of  infoset /SAPQUERY/AM01 to Zusergroup with reference to the same infoset. In the newly created query, I am just checking the newly added field in Basic list. If I generate the program for this query, I get a error.
    Pls let me know how should I rectify this.

    Hi,
    Before generating the query, adjust the query from the menu of SQ01

  • Width of field in Report From SQL Query

    I have created a report from SQL query with 15 columns being selected. However, no matter what column width and column type (pixel, char, percent) I enter in the column formatting tab of the report, I cannot get the report to format the column to the width I desire. It is always a fixed width. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi,
    Char (used for ASCII format)
    Displays the output in the specified number of
    characters per line. For example, if you enter 20
    in Width, the report displays 20 characters of the
    column data in each line. If the number of
    characters per line exceeds the specified
    number, the remaining characters are wrapped
    to the next line.
    Pixel
    Displays the output in the specified number of
    pixels per row. For example, if you enter 10 in
    Width, the column data displays 10 pixels of
    data per line of the displayed table.
    Percent
    Displays the output in the specified percentage
    of the table. For example, if you enter 25 in
    Width, the column data displays in 25% of the
    displayed table.
    Thanks,

    Hi anbarasan,
    Maybe you can create a report of type "SQL query (PL/SQL Function returning query". Then in the region source, something like:
    DECLARE

    BEGIN
    v_sql := :PX_YOUR_ITEM;

    Not sure as we don't have any tables and data to work with, but firstly...
    a) format your code to make it easier to see what's going on
    b) don't mix ansi joins with regular joins
    c) treat DATEs as DATEs
    d) Table alias names don't use the "AS" keyword

  • Handling hierarchy in oracle sql query

    I have two tables:
    The first contains COMPANY_ID and CATEGORY_ID
    The second contains CATEGORY_ID and PARENT_CATEGORY_ID
    I need to return a list containing COMPANY_ID and CATEGORY_ID. The entries, however, must come not only from the first table, but also include all the descendants listed in the second table.
    So for example (and please read the example carefully) - let’s say in the first table I have one row:
    COMPANY_ID | CATEGORY_ID
    1000 | 1
    In the second table, I have three rows:
    CATEGORY_ID | PARENT_CATEGORY_ID
    1 | null
    2 | 1
    3 | 2
    4 | null
    I want to have the following rows as a result:
    COMPANY_ID | CATEGORY_ID
    1000 | 1
    1000 | 2
    1000 | 3
    How can I do this in oracle 10 in a single SQL statement ?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Whenver you have a question, post your sample data in a form that people can use.
    CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements are great:
    CREATE TABLE  first
    (       company_id     NUMBER (4)
    ,     category_id     NUMBER (4)
    INSERT INTO first (company_id, category_id) VALUES (1000,   1);CREATE TABLE AS is good, too:
    CREATE TABLE  second
    AS
    SELECT     1 AS category_id, NULL AS parent_category_id     FROM dual     UNION ALL
    SELECT     2,               1                          FROM dual     UNION ALL
    SELECT     3,               2                          FROM dual     UNION ALL
    SELECT     4,               NULL                    FROM dual;Without that, people can't test their ideas, and are often unsure about your data.
    You should also say what version of Oracle you're using. That's especially important with CONNECT BY queries. Every version since Oracle 7 has had significant improvements in how to do CONNECT BY queries. The query below works in Oracle 10 (and up).
    For hierarchies and trees, use CONNECT BY
    When you have to join tables and use CONNECT BY, it's usually more efficient to do one in a sub-query, and the other in another query.
    In the example below, we're doing the CONNECT BY in sub-query cbq, and the join in the main query.
    WITH     cbq     AS
         SELECT     category_id
         ,     CONNECT_BY_ROOT category_id     AS root_category_id
         FROM     second
         START WITH     parent_category_id     IS NULL
               AND     category_id          IN ( SELECT  category_id          -- Maybe; see note below
                                             FROM    first
         CONNECT BY     parent_category_id     = PRIOR category_id
    SELECT  first.company_id
    ,     cbq.category_id
    FROM     first
    JOIN     cbq     ON     first.category_id     = cbq.root_category_id
    ;The 2nd condition in the START WITH clause won't change the results any; any rows that are excluded by that condition would also be excluded by the join condition. There can be a big differenece in performance, however. Try the query both ways, and use the 2nd condition if it helps.

  • How to tune a oracle sql query to make it run faster ...

    Hi Guys,
    I am very new to this tuning of sql queries. It is taking a lot of time to run a query and give the output. I have a tool called TOAD[ Tool for oracle application development ] and i ran a query in that tool. Its showing that the query is taking 7sec to get its output. I donno the exact procedure what to follow in order to tune that query. What are these actually like : explain plan, sqltrace, tkprof and how to use these to tune the query. I want my query to run faster like in msec.
    Help Appreciated.
    Thanks
