Adhoc Query Outer Join

Hi
Is it possible to have adhoc queries with outer join since logical databases use inner joins.. Was just wondering if this is possible
Thanks
Case

Hi
As workaround u can use the SQVI - Query where u can play with infotype .
you can select wat are the infotypes to be joined and wat are the filedls u wish to get out put and selection everthing
with regards
partha
keep sharing and learing

Correlated sub-query/outer join problem

Hi,
I have a problem similar to this one (Outer join with correlated subquery but I'm struggling to find a solution for mine!
The following query works OK unless there is no entry in room_prices, so I need to outer join somehow to that table otherwise it doesn't return any rows.
The main difference between the query in the other thread and mine is that mine has an extra table (bookings b) in the sub-query, which is complicating things a bit.
select b.book_from,
     b.book_to,
     b.flat_rate,
     nvl(c.discount,0),
     p.hourly,
     p.half_day,
     p.daily,
     p.discountable,
     p.surcharge,
     l.evening_start,
     nvl(b.full_day,'N')
from booking.bookings b,
booking.customer c,
booking.room_prices p,
booking.rooms r,
booking.location l
where b.id = 9272
and c.id = b.customer
and b.room = p.room
and b.room = r.id
and r.loc = l.id
and p.from_date =
select max(p2.from_date)
from booking.room_prices p2
where p2.room = p.room
and p2.from_date < b.book_from
Could anyone suggest a way to re-write the query so that it is outer joined to room_prices?
Thanks,
Hazel

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 advise

If 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

Query Outer Join Problem

I need to join these two tables and have a problem becuase it's difficult to join the tables with the keys.
Basically here is a sample of the data.
The only way I get the correct number of rows returned is with a left outer join on unit, asset_id and sequence_number.
COST
unit asset_id sequence_number
01 113317 0
01 113317 1
01 113317 1
ACQ_DETAIL
unit asset_idnbsp sequence_number vendor_id
01 113317 1 ABCConstruction
So with the left outer join you'd get
unit asset_idnbsp sequence_number vendor_id
01 113317 0
01 113317 1 ABCConstruction
01 113317 1 ABCConstruction
I need to join on sequence_number or else I get too many rows returned. Is there anyway I can keep the outer join (still joining on thows three keys) and have this returned.
unit asset_idnbsp sequence_number vendor_id
01 113317 0 ABCConstruction
01 113317 1 ABCConstruction
01 113317 1 ABCConstruction
Thanks all!!

Restriction to Left Outer Joins in PS Query

Hello I am trying to do Left Outer JOin in PS QUERY. I need to do dept tbl, job code tbl and locatable as left outer joins with JOB Table. Looks like in PS QUERY there is a error message saying as below. Can someone has any workaround to achieve this in PS QUERY. I know I can create a View and use that in PS QUERY but BUsiness Users are dependent on IT, so that doesn't work. Also, adding JOB table multiple times works but I am looking for better solution if anyone had come accorss working through PS QUERY Outer JOins.
Windows Internet Explorer
Left outer joins must be joined to the last record in the query. (139,290)
OK
Thanks,
SC.

Hi Mike,
According to your description, you want to improve the performance for your DAX query in SQL Server Analysis Service Tabular model, right? Here is a white paper describes strategies and specific techniques for getting the best performance from your tabular

Outer join clarification

i have doubt on ouer joins.
may i know the difference between query one and two.
1)
select count(test1.EMPNO)
from test1,
test2
where test1.empno = test2.empno(+)
AND test2.dept(+) = 'SALES'
2)
select count(test1.EMPNO)
from test1,
test2
where test1.empno = test2.empno(+)
AND test2.dept = 'SALES'

In the first query outer join to test2 ( unmatched records from test2) also appears. so nulls ( additional rows) from test2 will come even there no matched department with 'Sales'..
In second. Even outer join happened to test2, there are only rows with sales department will appear.. no additinal rows can be seen

Need to adjust SQL query for left outer join in Crystal Reports 2008.

                      omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.PROPERTY_NAME = ?MyProperty
I can't seem to get the left outer join function of Crystal Reports to emulate the same SQL query in SQL 2005. Any ideas on how I can create this same query in Crystal 2008?
Thanks,

If you want the list of values for command level parameter then you need to add another command like
select PropertyField from table
and delete the links between this command and the existing command.
Now go to field explorer and edit the command level parameter and make it as dynamic and add the property field from newly added command.
Hope this helps!

SAP QUERY/INFOSET with OUTER JOIN

Hi,
I have created an infoset (SQ02) using two tables for SAP query.
Table: AGR_TEXTS. Fields: AGR_NAME, SPRAS, LINE, TEXT.
TABLE: AGR_FLAGS. Fields: AGR_NAME, FLAG_TYPE, FLAG_VALUE.
Joined these two tables using outer join. Defined the join condition as AGR_NAME = AGR_NAME. Saved and Generated the infoset.
Created SAP Query (SQ01) using the above created infoset.
In the basic list,
Marked AGR_NAME (AGR_TEXTS), TEXT, FLAG_VALUE as listed fields.
Marked AGR_NAME (AGR_TEXTS), SPRAS, LINE, FLAG_TYPE as selection fields.
Save the query. When execute the query provided the inputs for all the selection fields in the selection screen as given below:
AGR_NAME=Z*
SPRAS=E
LINE=00000
FLAG_TYPE=LICENSE_01
Executed the Query.
Got the results only the matched records as per the selection field FLAG_TYPE.
But I want all the records from table AGR_TEXTS and matched records from table AGR_FLAGS.
I want the report (output) as below,
_AGR_NAME                                               TEXT                                                                                  FLAG_VALUE_

Identify a KF for which there are non-zero values for all accounts in the cube.
Create the query with Account (from MP coming from both IO and cube) and this KF. KF will have 0 values for accounts not existing in the cube. Create a condition to show only the 0 value for the KF. This should show you all the accounts in the IO which are not in the cube.

Not using Index when SDO_RELATE in Spatial Query is used in LEFT OUTER JOIN

I want to know for every City (Point geometry) in which Municipality (Polygon geometry) it is.
Some cities will not be covered by any municipality (as there is no data for it), so its municipality name should be blank in the result
We have 4942 cities (point geometries)
and 500 municipalities (polygon geometry)
SELECT T1.NAME as City, T2.NAME as Municipality
FROM CITY T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN MUNICIPALITY T2 ON SDO_RELATE(T1.GEOM, T2.GEOM, 'MASK=ANYINTERACT') = 'TRUE'The explain plan for this query is:
SELECT STATEMENT
FILTER
    Filter Predicates
      MDSYS.SDO_RTREE_RELATE(T1.GEOM, T2.GEOM, 'mask=ANYINTERACT querytype=window ') = 'TRUE'
    MERGE JOIN
      TABLE ACCESS              CITY               FULL                            11
      BUFFER                                       SORT                        100605
          TABLE ACCESS          MUNICIPALITY       FULL                            20So the cost is in the BUFFER (whatever that is), it takes +2000 seconds to run this, it is not using the spatial index.
And we are not getting all rows, but only the ones interacting with a municipality, e.g. 2436 rows.
But I want all rows, including the ones not interacting with any Municipality.
When we want only those cities that actually are in a municipality, I use a different query and it will use the index.
SELECT T1.NAME as City, T2.NAME as Municipality
FROM CITY T1, MUNICIPALITY T2
WHERE SDO_RELATE(T1.GEOM, T2.GEOM, 'MASK=ANYINTERACT') = 'TRUE'I get (only) 2436 rows (as expected) in 5 seconds (it is fast) and the explain plan shows it is using the spatial index.
But in this case, I am not getting any cities not inside any municipality (of course)
SELECT STATEMENT
   NESTED LOOPS
      TABLE ACCESS                   MUNICIPALITY       FULL                22
      TABLE ACCESS                   CITY               BY INDEX ROWID      22
         DOMAIN INDEX                CITY_SDX                                0
            Access Predicates
               MDSYS.SDO_RTREE_RELATE(T1.GEOM, T2.GEOM, 'mask=ANYINTERACT querytype=window ') = 'TRUE'I always thought a LEFT OUTER JOIN would return all rows from the Table, whatever happens in the next,
but it seems the query has been rewritten so that it is now using a Filter Predicate in the end, which filters those geometries having no interaction.
As an example I also do thing alphanumerically, I do get 4942 rows, including the ones which have no Municipality name.
In this case the names must match, so its only for testing if the LEFT OUTER JOIN returns stuff correctly, which it does in this case.
SELECT T1.NAME as City, T2.NAME as Municipality
FROM CITY T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN MUNICIPALITY T2 ON T1.NAME = T2.NAMEIs this an Oracle Spatial bug, e.g. not return 4942 rows, but only 2436 rows on the first query?
Note all tests performed on Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0)

Patrick,
Even so, your geoms in the relate were the wrong way around.
Also, I don't recall you saying (or showing) that you wanted the municipality geometry returned. Still,
no matter, easy to do.
Here are some additional suggestions. I don't have your data so I have had to use some of my own.

SCORE(n) returning zero values in an outer join query

Hello all,
Is there any way to get a query that contains an outer join to return proper scores. I couldn't find out why this was happening in my query, but I'm getting a score values of 0 on most results.
Below are queries with result sets. As you can see the results that are scoring in the second query are scoring correctly, but only two have scores.
- - - Query 1, no outer join - - -
SELECT DISTINCT SCORE(0) AS scr,
file_repository.file_id,
file_repository.file_title
FROM file_repository
WHERE CONTAINS(index_url,'SYN(dui,a_thesaurus)', 0) > 0
ORDER BY scr ASC
SCR FILE_ID FILE_TITLE
7 136 Prisoners
7 240 Drug booklet
8 64 Communications
8 146 Rates
8 168 Vehicle Collisions
8 206 document4
14 207 document5
14 211 document5
15 74 Diplomatic Personnel
22 214 documentB
30 81 DUI and PCA Offences
- - - Query 2, with outer join - - -
SELECT DISTINCT SCORE(0) AS scr,
file_repository.file_id,
file_repository.file_title
FROM file_repository, file_security
WHERE CONTAINS(index_url,'SYN(dui,a_thesaurus)', 0) > 0
AND file_repository.file_id = file_security.file_id(+)
AND file_security.auth_id = 0

Thanks in advance

To do this wouldn't you need to know the data in advance? The real source table had 1800 organisations and 8,000,000 transactions.
I Tried this as well, creating a pl/sql package as follows.
create or replace PACKAGE stack AS
TYPE gnt_push_numbers IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
TYPE gvt_push_varchars IS TABLE OF VARCHAR(1000) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
gna_push_numbers gnt_push_numbers;
gva_push_varchars gvt_push_varchars;
FUNCTION PUSH ( pn_push_var NUMBER, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION PUSH ( pv_push_var VARCHAR, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION POP_NUM ( pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER DETERMINISTIC;
FUNCTION POP_VAR ( pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR DETERMINISTIC;
END stack;
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE BODY "STACK" AS
FUNCTION push(pn_push_var NUMBER, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER deterministic IS
BEGIN
gna_push_numbers(pn_offset) := pn_push_var;
RETURN pn_push_var;
END push;
FUNCTION push(pv_push_var VARCHAR, pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR deterministic IS
BEGIN
gva_push_varchars(pn_offset) := pv_push_var;
RETURN pv_push_var;
END push;
FUNCTION pop_num(pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER deterministic IS
BEGIN
RETURN gna_push_numbers(pn_offset);
END pop_num;
FUNCTION pop_var(pn_offset NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR deterministic IS
BEGIN
RETURN gva_push_varchars(pn_offset);
END pop_var;
END stack;
Unfortunately it appears to act before the rows are sorted, so will only work in specialised circumstances, in that you have to ensure the rows have been sorted before the function is used.
SELECT PUSH(COL), POP..(COL)
FROM ( SELECT etc.
Luckily the client decided they didn't want to mix their graphs any more so a more classic approach using a base table select for actuals and then a date table select with a sub-query columns for the projection provided a simple solution.

Query with FULL OUTER JOIN , help pleaseeeeeeeeeeee...

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to write a query for a report in Oracle SQL, but i just can't figure out how to do it.
I'm using Oracle 10g release 1.0 database and i execute my queris in SQL* PLUS ( eventually i'm gonna use them in Oracle Report Builder ) .
here's what i have:
i have four tables that are used for our inventory application. lets call them INCOMMING , INCOMMING_ITEMS , OUTGOING , OUTGOING_ITEMS.
as you may have guessed , INCOMMING_ITEMS is the detail table for INCOMMING ( joined by IID column) and also OUTGOING_ITEMS is the detail table for OUTGOING ( joined by OID column ).
here is the structure of them :
INCOMMING
IID varchar2
CDATE date
INCOMMING_ITEM
IID varchar2
PART_NO number
QTY number
OUTGOING
OID varchar2
CDATE date
OUTGOING_ITEM
OID varchar2
PART_NO number
QTY number
now , the query i want, should return part_no , cdate , sum of OUTGOING qty , sum of INCOMMING qty .
the result of the query should be sth like this :
part_no     cdate     O_qty     I_qty
100     01/05/06     10     0
100     01/05/07     20     60
200     01/06/02     0     50
300     01/06/02     30     40
this means that for some dates and for some parts, i may not have INCOMMING or OUTGOING data, but if at least one of the 2 last columns has a non-zero data, i should show the row ( like the first and third rows of my example result), and if both have data for the same PART_NO and the same CDATE, both should be showed in the same row. ( like the second row in my example result)
i tried so much and came up with several huge and also time consuming queries, but then i read abt FULL OUTER JOIN somewhere and tried using that. here is what i came up with :
SELECT
PART_NO , CDATE , sum(II.QTY) I_QTY , SUM (OI.QTY) O_QTY
FROM
     (OUTGOING O INNER JOIN OUTGOING_ITEM OI USING ( OID ) )
FULL OUTER JOIN
     (INCOMMING I INNER JOIN INCOMMING_ITEM II USING ( IID ) )
ON ( I.CDATE = O.CDATE AND II.PART_NO = OI.PART_NO)
WHERE
I.CDATE = :PARAMETER1
AND O.CDATE = :PARAMETER1
GROUP BY
PART_NO , CDATE
this query is short and fast , but the results r not what i expected. i mean, although i have used FULL OUTER JOIN in the query , but the results i get r sth like this :
part_no     cdate     O_qty     I_qty
100     01/05/07     20     60
300     01/06/02     30     40
which means only the rows that has both values are returned.
any change i make to this query would make the SQL* PLUS hang , like when i use the cartesian product of two large tables, so i guess my changes wheren't in the right direction.
i think its possible to write this query using FULL OUTER JOIN syntax, but i just can't find it.
Can anybody pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee help me?
thanx in advance,
Maryam.

Note: I wrote this on the fly -- hope there is no syntax errors, otherwise forgive me -- but you get the idea..
select
fromUnionAll.cdate, fromUnionAll.part_no,
sum(fromUnionAll.O_qty) O_qty,
sum(fromUnionAll.I_qty) I_qty
from

from
select
i.cdate, ii.part_no,
/* added the case only for the extreme case when there is
no record anywhere for the given CDATE in INCOMMING_item */
sum( ( case when ii.qty is not null then ii.qty else 0 end) ) I_qty

where
i.iid = ii.iid (+)

Dynamic From statement in select query and/or outer join not working

Dear Experts, I have a select query where the select columns are dynamic, the where condition is also dynamic. It is of the below format:
Select (dynamic columns) INTO <wa>
FROM a inner join b on af1 = bf1
inner join c on af2 = cf2......
WHERE (dynamic conditios)
ORDER BY ( dynamic sort condition).
Now I have to include some tables (dynamically depending on the user input) in the inner join statement which will give description for the selected fields. And these database tables may or may no be empty. So in this case, my select query will not return any data if these tables are empty. And I dont want that.
I tried using outer join for the extra tables but it gave me a runtime error. I also tried forming the inner join statement dynamically but it was not supporting.
Kindly give me pointers.
Thanks

Hey thanks for the reply, but the problem is not solved.
I am already using ( fileds, value) like table in my where condition and the select statement was working properly.
the problem is that now I have to include some tables in the join statement which can be empty and so i want to use Outer join.
But I am getting a runtime error as below:
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYNAMIC_OSQL_SYNTAX', was not
     caught in
    procedure "ZATSCSNG_RFC_READ_TABLE" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a
     RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The running ABAP program wanted to execute a SELECT statement whose
    WHERE condition was (partly) specified dynamically. The part that is
    specified in an internal table at runtime is compared to a field of the
    right table of an LEFT OUTER JOIN. Such comparisons are not supported by
     all database systems and are therefore not allowed.

Adhoc Query Join Problem

Hi All,
I have created a query on PNP logical database which looks very simple, Lets say it has pernr, first name, last name, and Mailing ZIP on the output. P0006-SUBTY = 'MAIL'
Now, the problem is .... if someone do not have mailing address subtype populated then that pernr's record is not appearing on the output. ZIP should be blank if the Mailing Address subtype is not saved for that pernr.
I am using PNP in my infoset so I think I do not have any control over the joins, PNP should not behave like this I guess, is it normal behavior or it can be fixed? or this is one of the reasons to go for Custom ABAP Reports as it cannot be done in SQ01?
Is the only solution through Adhoc queries to add all these PA tables in Inner Joins instead of using PNP, in SQ02?
Thanks in advance.

It is a common behavior of Adhoc query in PNP. You will need to create custom fields and put logic for subtypes. Using joins is not a good solution, for performance issues you cannot join many tables and HR tables have begda and endda in tables which may create problems for proper joins.

Do Outer Joins as well as Self Joins Affect the Performence of a Query ??

4 Tables A,B,C,D.
1 View V Based
Each of the tables having 1 and only one primary key and a few NOT NULL columns.
Now my Query selects from A,B,C,D,V with mapping Table A columns with all other Table(B,C,D,V) Primary Key Columns using Left Outer Join.
Select A.a1,A.a2,A.a3,A.a4,B1.ba,B2.bb,B3.bc,B4.bd,C.c1,D.d1 from (((((((A left outer join B B1 on A.ba=B1.ba) left outer join B B2 on A.bb=B2.bb) left outer join B B3 on A.bc=B3.bc)left outer join B B4 on A.bd=B4.bd)left outer join C on A.c1=C.c1)left outer join D on A.d1=D.d1) left outer join V on A.v1 = V.v1) order by 1;
In this case will the query design effect the Performence???... As this query is taking a long time. As for as Indexes are there on these tables only default Indexes due to Primary, Unique as well as Foreign key only.... Hence table structure is very simple and straight. I need a suggession in such a manner that without making changes to the Table (I am not even allowed to include a single Index to them) ...can the query be modified to optimise the performence??

Each change to a query can effect the performance.
Your query looks straight and simple. Maybe you could increase the performance by simply removeing the order by criteria.
This requires a sort and a sort can be slow, especially when the resulting dataset is very large.
If there are indexes on all foreign keys and you join using those FKs then there should be no problem with the index structure.
I can't say whether it would be better to use an index or not. but you can look at the execution plan and check what the CBO wants to do.
Make sure that all statistics are up to date. You could consider to run an additional dbms_stats.gather_table_stats with compute in the test environment, just to see if the execution plan changes after this.
For further ideas search this forum for the thread "When your query takes too long".

Please help me how to use this outer join condition.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you want all the rows from goh, then you don't want any conditions like goh.OFFER_NO <> 0.
Make all the joins to goh outer joins, and make all conditions that apply to any tables joined to goh (or to tables joined to them) part of the join condition, like this:
FROM             APPS_JP.GEDIS_OFFER_HEADER     goh
LEFT OUTER JOIN APPS_JP.GEDIS_ORDER_BUILDS     gob ON   gob.OFFER_NO = goh.OFFER_NO
                                                     AND gob.BUILD_NO = 1
LEFT OUTER JOIN APPS_JP.GEDIS_ORDER_LINES      gol ON   gol.OFFER_NO = goh.OFFER_NO
                                                     AND gol.BUILD_NO = 1
                                                     AND gol.LINE_NO = 1
LEFT OUTER JOIN APPS_JP.GEDIS_OFFER_RELATED_CUSTOMER
                                                gorc ...
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. For example, do you really need all those tables to show what the problem is? Of course, you need them in tyour real query, but if you understand a solution that only involves 4 or 5 tables, you'll know how to apply it to any number of tables.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
