Alternative to Outer Join
Hi,
I am using outer join in the below SQL, It returns all the rows from Table A and only the matching data from Table B,
for the unmatching rows, we get NULL values. It is clear, is it possible to achieve the same without applying
outer joins in anyway, please clarify.
select a.*, b.*
from a left outer join b
on a.f1 = b.f1

An outer join query like this
select e.empno, d.deptno
from emp e
left join dept d
on e.deptno = d.deptnocan also be writern like this
select e.empno, (select d.deptno from dept d where d.deptno = e.deptno) deptno
from emp eBut if you can join them just join. There are exceptions as well when Scalar Subquery can be usefull. Here is a nice post in Asktom.

Edited by: Karthick_Arp on Aug 14, 2009 12:01 AMOne should note that the two statements only deliver the identical result because d.deptno is unique.
The same does not work when you join to non unique columns.

I would like to rewrite the below query's in the form of union set operators, Could some body help me out
select a.id,b.id,c.id from a full outer join b on (a.id=b.id) left outer join on (b.id=c.id);
select a.id,b.id,c.id from a full outer join b on (a.id=b.id) right outer join on (b.id=c.id);You need to post expected results. Your both queries have syntax issues. Theay are missing table c name and ON clause. For eample, corrected first query:
with a as (select level id from dual connect by level <= 5),
b as (select level id from dual connect by level <= 10),
c as (select level id from dual connect by level <= 15)
select a.id,

Alternative for OUTER Join for use in fast refresh materialized view
Hi ,
I have two tables as :
CREATE TABLE TEST_SANDY1
COL1 NUMBER
CREATE TABLE TEST_SANDY2
COL1 NUMBER,
COL2 VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)
Data for the tables are :
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
1);
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
2);
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
3);
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
1, 'a');
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
2, 'b');
INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
4, 'd');
COMMIT;
Now when I run the following select statement :
select
b.col1
from
test_sandy1 a,
test_sandy2 b
where
b.COL1 = a.COL1(+)
I get :
COL1
1
2
4
I want to build a materialized view to generate the same values but it has to be fast refresh. But since I am using outer join I am unable to create a fast refresh one.
Can someone suggest an alternate select to create fast refresh materialized view.
Thanks,
SandipanThe select statement was not fitting my problem , so I'll change it as :
select
a.col1, nvl(b.col2, 'DEFAULT')
from
test_sandy1 a,
test_sandy2 b
where
b.COL1(+) = a.COL1
I get :
COL1 VAL
1 a
2 b
3 DEFAULT
How do I this ? -
Outer Joins with multiple conditions - alternatives to UNION?
It is my understanding that Oracle 8i does not directly support mutiple conditions for outer joins. For instance, I'm looking for PEOPLE who may, or may not, be on MEDICATIONS.
All MEDICATIONS are listed with DRUGNAME and DRUGID. There thousand of different drugs. I'm only looking for PEOPLE on either one or two of them (to make it simple) or no drug at all (ignoring all other DRUGS they're on..) IF they are on the DRUG, it's gerts printed.
I'd ideally do a LEFT OUTER JOIN to do this with multiple conditions:
SELECT DISTINCT
PERSON.NAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGNAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGID
FROM
PERSON,
MEDICATION
WHERE
PERSON.ID = MEDICATION.ID (+) AND
(MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 632 OR
MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 956)
This, of course, is not valid, at least in 8i...
So I've taken the UNION approach:
SELECT DISTINCT
PERSON.NAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGNAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGID
FROM
PERSON,
MEDICATION
WHERE
PERSON.ID = MEDICATION.ID (+) AND
MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 632
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT
PERSON.NAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGNAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGID
FROM
PERSON,
MEDICATION
WHERE
PERSON.ID = MEDICATION.ID (+) AND
MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 956
This of course, does work, but as I've added more drugs this becomes quite unwieldly and not really sure what this does to performance. (There are also several more joins to other tables, not relevent here.)
In addition, if I import this into Crystal Reports 8.5 (as opposed to the Crystal Query Designer), it refuses to recognize the UNION.
-- Any suggestions for alternative syntax ???
-- Has this been addressed in 9i ???
Thanks,
WillYou could try
select Distinct Person.Name, Med.DrugName, Med.DrugId
from Person,
(select ID, DrugName, DrugId from Medication
where DrugId in (632, 956) ) Med
where Person.ID = Med.ID(+)
SELECT DISTINCT
PERSON.NAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGNAME,
MEDICATION.DRUGID
FROM
PERSON,
MEDICATION
WHERE
PERSON.ID = MEDICATION.ID (+) AND
(MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 632 OR
MEDICATION.DRUGID (+) = 956)

UNION
SELECT DISTINCT

Hi All,
The issue may be silly, but we cant make it out:
DB : Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - ProdWe are running the below query with no issues:
select t1.text,t2.text text2,t1.line,decode(upper(t1.text),upper(t2.text),1,0) flg
from
(select text,row_number() over(order by line) line
from user_source
where name = 'COLL_MVIEW_REFRESH_PROC_LBK'
and replace(trim(text),chr(10)) is not null
) t1,
(select text ,row_number() over(order by line) line
from user_source
where name = 'COLL_MVIEW_REFRESH_PROC'
and trim(replace(text,chr(10))) is not null) t2
where t1.line = t2.lineBut when trying for an outer join it is giving error like
ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expressionOuter Join Query:
select t1.text,t2.text,t1.line,decode(upper(t1.text),upper(t2.text),1,0) flg

from user_source

and trim(replace(text,chr(10))) is not null) t2
on( t1.line = t2.line )Any idea what is wrong here?
Thanks,
JeneeshNot sure what is wrong with your version. It might have to do with row_number not working on an empty row (outer joined).
How about this alternative?
The approach is a bit different, but it uses only one access to the user_source view.
select s.lineNo, min(s.text1) text1, min(s.text2) text2, decode(upper(min(s.text1)), upper(min(s.text2)), 1, 0) flag
from
(select decode(u.name, 'COLL_MVIEW_REFRESH_PROC_LBK', u.text) text1
,decode(u.name, 'COLL_MVIEW_REFRESH_PROC'
, u.text) text2
,u.name,
row_number() over (partition by u.name order by u.line) lineNo
from user_source u
where u.name in ('COLL_MVIEW_REFRESH_PROC_LBK','COLL_MVIEW_REFRESH_PROC'
/* and u.TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' */
and replace(trim(u.text),chr(10)) is not null
) s

Left Outer Join with more than two tables in both CR 8.5 and XIR2
I am trying to create a report and I have tried two versions of Crystal but I ultimately need the report in CR8.5 for compatibility with the client's system. I think I am starting to figure out what might be wrong and it might be my understanding of SQL, but I can't see why someone hasn't needed this in the past. Ultimately I want to see all projects and any journal entry that might be posted for that project.
Database is MySQL 5.0.38 and using MySQL ODBC driver 3.51.19.
Project header table information will be populated. Each line item on a journal entry can be tagged with the project ID. But for me to pull the journal entry date I need also to link to a third table for the journal entry header info.
I want to see all projects, whether a journal entry has been posted or not.
So the links are like this
ProjectHeader --->Left Outer Join ---> JELines ---> Inner Join ---> JEHeader
I think in this scenerio Crystal is treating the LOJ as an IJ.
I created two brand new reports today, one in CR8.5 and one in CR XIR2. Once I edited the automatic CR8.5 SQL statement (which I have been doing for years, usually without problem), they both ran properly. I linked customers to their invoices. Customers without invoices showed properly. But then I linked the invoices to the payments of the invoices and immediately lost customers without orders in both reports.
So apparently only two tables are allowed in Outer Joins. Does this make sense? I checked out the w3schools tutorial on SQL and it doesn't mention this limitation and I can't find anywhere else that it specifically indicates this but all samples of code I have seen only show two tables. I just thought for presentation as a sample that was easiest to understand and we could expand as necessary.
If this is correct, how does one go about accounting for this kind of thing? One solution that goes through my mind is creating a view at the database level for the link between journal entry lines and journal entry headers. Would this be a good solution under normal circumstances?
A second option that I had to implement because of timelines, is to use a subreport linked to the main report through the project ID to pull the information for the journal entries and just pass the totals I need to the main report through a shared variable.
These aren't normal circumstances because I don't have access to the database so I can't create the view. I have come across this concept several times and I have been able to use subreports to solve it but I am trying to find a better solution for the future as sometimes subreports can be slow. So are there any alternatives I have not considered here?
TIA rasincSo after some more work and another post. I was able to get this to work.
Items disappear when linking to another table
My issues were two fold. I was selecting on the tables on the right-side of the original Inner Join. However, I was checking for Nulls. This apparently is correct but you must check for the Nulls first eg. (IsNull (JEHeader.Field1) OR JEHeader.Field1 <= 100). I had my original statement reversed checking for <= 100 before checking for Nulls.
I also did not set all links to be Left Outer Join. I had the Inner Join. I actually have about 6 tables in this report so all the links need to be set Outer Join. So this now seems to be corrected.

Need help further tuning view source for outer join
I have been working on tuning views for use in Discoverer for some time, and I have greatly improved upon what was there, but it is still not where I need it to be. There are 2 views the users join together in Discoverer - one for contract lines, and one for contract flexfields. Run as a 1 to 1 join on contract number, performance is great. However, as soon as I have an outer join on flexfields, the performance is awful. We are talking a difference of under a minute to hours and hours. I have to be able to perform an outer join because there can be contracts without flexfields. Can anyone suggest an alternative method to get the data or further tuning? I will paste both the contract lines and contract flexfields source - I have tuned the flexfields but have done nothing to date with the lines.

I am afraid slow performance is a built in feature of this database design, not much you can do in queries.
You could possibly create the views as materialized views and query those instead.
Quote from the linked article
But, how does it perform? Miserably, terribly, horribly. A simple "select
first_name, last_name from person" query is transformed into a 3-table join with
aggregates and all. Further, if the attributes are "NULLABLE" - that is, there
might not be a row in OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES for some attributes, you may have to
outer join instead of just joining which in some cases can remove more optimal
query plans from consideration.
Writing queries might look pretty straightforward, but it's impossible to do in
a performant fashion. -
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. -
Left Outer Join in Logical Layer
Dear Gurus,
I have report like this:
Absent
3 31
Month-Name
Jan 1 2
Feb
March
I use Master Date as dimension and Transactional Absent as fact
How if I want to show the date (from 1 to 31) even if there's no transaction?
How to use driving table and join in the business logical?or there is another alternatif?
Please help
Regards
MariaHi,
If you want to show all the transactions for the month, even if there is no transactions then you need to use the outer joins present in the BMM layer. Left, right and full outer joins according to your requirement. Driving tables are used when the number of the data is low to pick up the table.
Hope this helped/ answered.

Left Outer Joining multiple tables to one source table FAILS with VLD-1511
Hi all,
Is it me, or is OWB unable to handle left outer joining 1 source table to multiple other tables?
I want to load a fact table so I have 1 source table with measures. This table must be outer joined to some dimensions that have their FK in the fact table.
The SQL statement would look like this (and is perfectly valid):
select ...
from input, dim1, dim2
where input.c1 = dim1.c1(+)
and input.c2 = dim2.c2(+);
I put the where clause in the joiner operator and validate, but that gives me message VLD-1511: A table may be outer joined to at most one other table.
Even splitting this up into one outer join per joiner still gives this message.
A search and look around on the forum and on metalink shows there are related issues (like bug 3334035). Seemingly creating a view is the work-around to use.....? (ie downgrading owb to a simple gui tool) }-;
Have other people experienced this problem of not being able to outer join one input table to multiple other tables?
Thanks,
EdI have had some feedback from Oracle. It turns out this has to do with 2 issues. Below I have pasted the text that Support gave me:
<---------- START QUOTE ---------->
RESEARCH
=========
Bug 3437036 KEY LOOKUP DOES NOT DETECT ORA-1417 IN VALIDATE/GENERATE STEP
Unpublished Bug 4211684 FORWARD PORT OF BUG 3437036
shows:
Some more development has been completed when this bug is fixed in Paris.
The following are the details:
1. If the join condition contains a full outer join such as
tab1.c (+) = tab2.c (+) and tab2.c (+) = tab3.c
then the new validations implemented for this bug do not apply since
in OWB, full outer join triggers generation of joins in ANSI syntax.
ANSI syntax does not have the original problem the base bug of this
bug reported.
2. If the join condition does not contain any full outer join condition,
then the join is generated in Oracle join syntax, which is subject two
several restrictions. The fix to this bug check two of the restrictions.
3. The first restriction in Oracle syntax is that the outer join operator
"(+)" can only directly be attached to a column name. If you attach it
to an expression, such as the following:
(tab1.c + 1) (+) = tab2.c
Then there will be an ORA-936 error at the time of mapping deployment.
For this case, I have added a validation message VLD-1512 to error out
this situation.
4. The second restriction in Oracle syntax is that a table can only be
outer joined to exactly one other table.
For example, this is an invalid join in Oracle syntax:
tab1.c (+) = tab2.c and tab1.d (+) = tab3.d
because tab1 is left outer joined to tab2 and tab3.
But note that the following is still valid in Oracle syntax:
tab1.c (+) = tab2.c and tab1.d = tab3.d (+)
because tab1 is left outer joined to tab2 and right outer joined to tab3.
So this latter case does not violate the restriction that "same oj" to
more than 1 table is not allowed.
If same oj to more than 1 table is specified in a join condition,
VLD-1511 will be issued, and the map is made invalid.
<---------- END QUOTE ---------->
OWB does a partial validation, ie not all access paths are (can be) checked. A full check is only done by the database itself. So some scenarios (like checking whether multiple tables are outer joined the correct way) are not checked, and in this case are flagged with an error (even though it is actually a correct scenario).
Seemingly this was not flagged with an error in earlier versions of OWB, so beware, OWB behaviour may change when upgrading...
Alternative solutions are (1) using key lookups, (2) using a view with all outer joins in there, (3) using intermediate result tables between the joins.
Hope this info helps some people prevent spending too much time on a false error message,

Problems performing an outer join
I added some criteria to the following sql statement to get the relationship.
ie ('Husband', 'Wife','Father','Mother','Step Mother','Step Father','Father in-law','Mother in-law')
The problem is that I also want to beable to display those that are not in this category. So I thought that I could do and outer join such as
and hcr.relationship_name(+) in ('Husband',
'Wife',
This does not work. Can anyone recommend how I can perform an outer join to get that information that does not meet the in statement?
thanks
select hac.case_id,hac.relation_to_hoh_id,hcr.RELATIONSHIP_NAME,
decode(ha.GENDER_ID,1,'(F)',2,'(M)',3,'(T)') || ' Adult ' ||
round((trunc(sYSdate) - ha.DATE_OF_BIRTH) / 365,0) info, 0 sort_by
from dpss_hts.hts_applicant ha,
dpss_hts.hts_applicant_case hac,
dpss_hts.certa_relationship hcr
where ha.applicant_id = hac.applicant_id
and round((trunc(sYSdate) - ha.DATE_OF_BIRTH) / 365,0) > 17
and hac.relation_to_hoh_id = hcr.RELATIONSHIP_ID
and hcr.relationship_name in ('Husband',
'Wife',
'Father',
'Mother',
'Step Mother',
'Step Father',
'Father in-law',
'Mother in-law')If I understand correctly, you want to display the relationship_name only if it is one of those in the list. If it is not, then you want to display the rest of the data, but not the realtionship_name.
Two approaches spring to mind. You can use an in-line view to select only the relationship_names you are interested in, then outer join to that in-line view like:
SELECT hac.case_id, hac.relation_to_hoh_id, hcr.relationship_name,
DECODE(ha.gender_id, 1, '(F)', 2, '(M)', 3, '(T)')||' Adult '||
ROUND((TRUNC(sysdate) - ha.date_of_birth) / 365, 0) info, 0 sort_by
FROM dpss_hts.hts_applicant ha, dpss_hts.hts_applicant_case hac,
SELECT relationship_id, relationship_name
FROM dpss_hts.certa_relationship
WHERE hcr.relationship_name in ('Husband', 'Wife', 'Father', 'Mother',
'Step Mother', 'Step Father',
'Father in-law', 'Mother in-law') hcr
WHERE ha.applicant_id = hac.applicant_id and
ROUND((TRUNC(sysdate) - ha.date_of_birth) / 365, 0) > 17 and
hac.relation_to_hoh_id = hcr.relationship_id(+)Another alternative would be do leave the current join intact, lose the predicate on relationship_name and do the dciding in the SELECT list.
Something like:
SELECT hac.case_id, hac.relation_to_hoh_id,
CASE WHEN hcr.relationship_name IN ('Husband', 'Wife', 'Father',
'Mother', 'Step Mother',
'Step Father', 'Father in-law',
'Mother in-law') THEN hcr.relationship_name
ELSE NULL END relationship_name,
DECODE(ha.gender_id, 1, '(F)', 2, '(M)', 3, '(T)')||' Adult '||
ROUND((TRUNC(sysdate) - ha.date_of_birth) / 365, 0) info, 0 sort_by
FROM dpss_hts.hts_applicant ha, dpss_hts.hts_applicant_case hac,
dpss_hts.certa_relationship hcr
WHERE ha.applicant_id = hac.applicant_id and
ROUND((TRUNC(sysdate) - ha.date_of_birth) / 365, 0) > 17 and
hac.relation_to_hoh_id = hcr.relationship_idHTH

Newbie: Syntax for OUTER joins
Hello there,
I'm trying to write some very simple ANSI outer joins using quest's TOAD software but I keep running into syntax errors.
Take the following classic text book example
Find all customers who have not placed an order
SELECT c.customerid, o.orderid
FROM customers c
LEFT OUTER JOIN orders o
ON c.customerid = o.customerid
WHERE o.orderid IS NULL
alternative syntax supported by SQL Server
SELECT c.customerid, o.orderid
FROM customers c, orders o
WHERE c.customerid *= o.customerid AND o.orderid IS NULL
How do you write the above style of statements. Can you write RIGHT JOIN and FULL JOIN statements? What about CROSS JOIN statements
Cheers,
Colin Rippey
nullSELECT c.customerid, o.orderid
FROM customers c, orders o
WHERE
c.customerid = o.customerid(+) and
o.orderid IS NULL

Illegal selection by InfoObject from outer join table
Hi all,
in any infoset with left-outer-join, when i want to select any field (infoobject) to get exlude conditions i got these errors:
illegal selection by InfoObject from outer join table.
error reading the data of infoprovider '*'.
thanks in advance .
HSHi Dorota,
Choudhary S was right.
İ have notified the SAP about this issue..they wrote me below note :
As SAP tables have no concept for NULL, we
have to restrict this condition to not allow excluding condition to be
used any more. But alternatively, you could use including to replace it.
Please check my last reply to see the detailed reason for it, and
this explaination is from our development colleagues.
For this note 1435772, you could also see why this error message
arises.
So, they said it is not possible in case of left outer join after those patches.
i just used include to replace that exluding condition.it takes little time but the problem is solving.
Thanks

The following code is an example of how to perform an outer join, in this case with ReportQuery (thanks Doug):
ExpressionBuilder eb = new ExpressionBuilder();
ReportQuery rq = new ReportQuery(Employee.class, eb);
rq.addAttribute("firstName");
rq.addAttribute("lastName");
rq.addAttribute("areaCode", eb.anyOfAllowingNone("phoneNumbers").get("areaCode"));
List<ReportQueryResult> results = (List<ReportQueryResult>) session.executeQuery(rq);My question is about the logic Toplink uses to generate the outer join statement with the "(+)" in the generated sql.
Does Toplink only generate the join statement if the same attribute is chosen in the select statement (in the above example "areaCode")?
Along the same line of questioning, does it matter which attribute was in the get() call? So, in the above example did it have to be areaCode, or could it have been any other attribute of phoneNumber, and it still would have performed the join?
In my case, because the selection attributes are built up dynamicly, should I add all attributes of my child class (my equivalent PhoneNumber class)?Thanks for your reply Doug.
One last question, hopefully.
I have a parent table with 2 child tables. When attempting an outer join with both, toplink does not attempt to outer join either. I understand why, sort of - as you get an error when attempting this in sqlplus with "(+)" syntax.
I understand that you can outer join > 1 other table to a parent with ansi sql syntax:
select dept.*,emp.*
from dept left outer join emp
on dept.deptno = emp.deptnoWill toplink allow > 1 child table outer join to a parent table? -
dear all,
since the column of table can not be boolean value, so why and can be used in join query, why "or" can not? anybody can give some example whether "and", "or" used in outer join is correct or wrong.
thanks,hai lily...
yes i have tried this example
in outer join,yes it is correct,if we want
srpecific data then we can use these
parameters ....
hope u get it..
