BIP SQL Query calling db function....

Hi ,
I am using SQL as my data model (Not Data Template).
Can I modify my SQL query to include a database function .....eg
select
col1 ,
col2,
mypackage.myfunction(col2)
from table_1
Please let me know

What is the best way to Optimize a SQL query : call a function or do a join?

Hi, I want to know what is the best way to optimize a SQL query, call a function inside the SELECT statement or do a simple join?

Hi,
If you're even considering a join, then it will probably be faster. As Justin said, it depends on lots of factors.
A user-defined function is only necessary when you can't figure out how to do something in pure SQL, using joins and built-in functions.
You might choose to have a user-defined function even though you could get the same result with a join. That is, you realize that the function is slow, but you believe that the convenience of using a function is more important than better performance in that particular case.

Put SQL query in a function/ call function from region

How can I write a SQL query (like SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, JOB FROM EMP) as PL/SQL function, and then call this function from the PL/SQL Function Returning SQL Statement region?
Thanks, Tom

thanks jverd for your quick reply.
I know passing in a reference to an object will do the job if I want to change the value several parameters in one function call.
But I want to ask, is there any other ways?
the following code works.....
public class TestParameter {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Test2 t2 = new Test2();
          invokeChange(t2);
          System.out.println("x = " + t2.x + "\t y = " + t2.y);
     static void invokeChange(Test2 t2) {
          t2.x = 10;
          t2.y = 15;
class Test2 {
     int x;
     int y;
}

I do not understand why overlaps is returned as in invalid state in the query, when it was created with no errors earlier. Could anyone help me?

Marius
Looking at the logic you are trying to create it looks like you are looking for overlapping time periods.
Consider two date/time ranges:
Range 1 : T1 - T2
Range 2 : T3 - T4
Do they overlap?
1) No: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (FALSE)
T1 --- T2
           T3 --- T4
2) Yes: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
T1 ---------- T2
           T3 --- T4
3) Yes: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
T1 -------------------- T2
           T3 --- T4
4) Yes: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
               T1 ----- T2
           T3 --- T4
5) Yes: T1 < T4 (TRUE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
           T1 --- T2
       T3 ------------ T4
5) No: T1 < T4 (FALSE) T2 > T3 (TRUE)
                T1 --- T2
       T3 --- T4Answer: Yes they overlap if:
T1 < T4 AND T2 > T3
So you can code the logic in your SQL as simply:
SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE range1_start < range2_end
AND    range_1_end > range2_startIf you go around implementing PL/SQL functions for simple logic that can be achieved in SQL alone then you cause context switching between the SQL and PL/SQL engines which degrades performance. Wherever possible stick to just SQL and only use PL/SQL if absolutely necessary.

SQL query with object function

I want to write a function, which returns more than one value and to include those values into a SQL statement. For example I want to query the RDB with....
select t.id, my_function(t.id).value1 name, my_function(t.id).value2 address ....
from table_x t
where t.id between 1 and 10
and bitand(my_function(t,id)).sec_id,2)>3
Is it possible to do something like this?
I tried to use object and table of objects(my_type) to return value of my_type but when I used
select ......my_function(t.id).name,my_function(t.id).address ...
from table_x
where t.id=some_value;
the function was called twice(i expected this result, but i don't know how to avoid it).
Simple example
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE l_test AS OBJECT
id NUMBER(10),
name varchar2(100),
a_date date
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_f2(test_number IN NUMBER)
RETURN l_test
IS
a number;
BEGIN
select t_seq.nextval into a from dual;
return l_test(a,'test value ='||test_number,sysdate+test_number);
END;
select test_f2(i.id).id client_id, test_f2(i.id).name client_name from r_owners i
CLIENT_ID CLIENT_NAME
1 test value =1
3 test value =2
I want to be able to loop in cursor and use those values
All ideas are welcome!
Thanks,

ERROR at line 13:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesisIf you use something like SQL*Plus or SQL Developer, they will give you the error stack which will point you to the source of the problem.
It's saying missing right parenthesis. Start by finding out if we've got all out matching brackets. Counting from the start of that statement i.e. SUBSTR on line 12, we have 7 open brackets and 6 close brackets. So there does appear to be a problem with brackets. However if we take a step back and look at lines 12 to 16, this is actually a single statement. It's a call to the SUBSTR function and within it it has calls to RTRIM, XMLAGG etc. For the statement as a whole there are the same number of left and right parenthesis so the problem is related to something else. Something that is leading the syntax check to think it has reached the end of a statement and hasn't found enough closing parethesis.
The issue here appears to be that we have the token PCNAMES at the end of line 13 but syntactically that's not correct. We can't have that token there because it's appearing in the middle of a function call. PCTNAMES is actually a column alias but it's just in the wrong place. We need it to be an alias for the whole expression from line 12 to 16. So make the change and see what happens...

Tuning SQL Query calling multiple views

Dear All,
I have a complex scenario in which I have created views in 3 levels for sales and Service separately so total no of views are 6.
Level 2 calls view in Level 1 and Level 3 calls level 2 in sales as well as services.
Finally Level 4 has the union of sales and Service Level 3 view.
There are 5 tables used in total and all have been indexed for better performance.
The cube processing for the above scenario has processing time of 6 mins.
The goal is to bring it down to 2-3 mins.
The amount of data currently we are looking at is not more than 2-3 GB.
Can anybody help me fine tune this scenario?
Thanks, Franco.

Run the queries the cube is using in SSMS and turn on the Include Actual Execution Plan option.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189562.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Straight up it may suggest missing indexes which you can test to see if they improve the query performance. You can't take these suggestions as gospel - sometimes SQL Server gets it wrong - so you need to test them.
After that look in the query plan for any table scan operators. Unless you are actually retrieving every row in a table you shouldn't have any of these and they can probably be removed by placing a properly considered index on the table.
After that look for any RID Lookups or Key Lookups. These can generally be resolved fairly easily by adding the columns being looked up as "include" columns in the indexes.

Those are the obvious things - and generally the easiest to achieve. Performance tuning is a big area. It may be that the database queries are already performing perfectly well and the time being spent is processing the cube itself so you need
to establish where the time is going. There is no point trying to tune the database queries if they are already working well.

SQL query using MAX function

I am trying to only display the records where the 'date_entered' is the most recent date per case number.
SELECT distinct c.case_number, u.email,c.assigneddate_chart,
--m.date_entered,
max(m.date_entered)as last_date_entered,
trunc(sysdate)-trunc(c.assigneddate_chart)days_late,
trunc(sysdate)-trunc(m.date_entered)addl_days_late
from chart c, chart_user_roles u,comments m
where
(c.case_status IN ('Open','Pending')) and
c.case_number=m.case_number
group by c.case_number,
u.email,c.assigneddate_chart,m.date_enteredRight now, this is the output im am getting.
Output:
CASE_NUMBER------EMAIL---------ASSIGNEDDATE_CHART---LAST_DATE_ENTERED---DAYS_LATE--ADDL_DAYS_LATE
[email protected]----06-NOV-09-----------------31--------------------11
[email protected]----10-NOV-09-----------------31---------------------7
[email protected]----06-NOV-09-----------------31--------------------11
[email protected]----06-NOV-09-----------------31--------------------11
[email protected]----06-NOV-09-----------------31--------------------11
[email protected]----03-NOV-09-----------------34--------------------14
I am wanting to achieve this output:
Therefore, based on the data below, the only records that i am wanting to display are:
[email protected]----10-NOV-09-----------------31---------------------7
[email protected]----03-NOV-09-----------------34--------------------14
Thanks

Is there a reason that you have a DISTINCT in your query? It always makes me nervous to see that where it's not clearly necessary because it frequently means that a developer is missing a join condition and is using the DISTINCT to mask that fact.
On to the meat of your question, though, is there a potential for ties? If so, how do you want to handle that-- do you want two rows for that case, do you want to break the tie using some other column, do you want to pick an arbitrary row? If you want to pick an arbitrary row
SELECT case_number, email, assignedDate_chart, last_date_entered, days_late, addl_days_late
FROM (
SELECT a.*, row_number() over (partition by case_number order by date_entered) rn
FROM (<<your query>>) a
WHERE rn = 1If you want to do something else, just adjust the analytic function and use RANK or add a tie-breaker to the ORDER BY.

SQL Query for all Function Name attached to Responsibility

I have a requiremnet where in the data needs to be fetched giving all details of User Name, Responsibility Name, Function_user_name at responsibility level.
For e.g when a user logs in ORacle application and gets in to a responsibility and uses short cut key (Cntrl + L), the application lists out all the form functions, i need those form funtion for all users at responsibility level.
follwoing is the SQL i developed but its not listing the form function when we use (cntrl + L).
SELECT fur.user_name, fur.description, fur.responsibility_name,
mnu.user_function_name, mnu.function_name --, mnu.TYPE, mnu.PARAMETERS

SQL Query - Using Lag function

Hi All,
I need to select the previous and next record, when the value of column is changed for each account.
My table structure is as follows:
Account_No number(10)
Payment_type number(5)
Installment_Type number(5)
Date_chage date
Sample record:
Account_No Payment_Type Installment_Type Date_change
70539 ** 1 ** 2 ** 01-OCT-83
70539 ** 1 ** 2 ** 03-FEB-01
70539 ** 1 ** 2 ** 26-APR-02
70539 ** 1 ** 1 ** 21-JUN-02
70539 ** 1 ** 2 ** 12-JUL-02
185562 ** 1 ** 2 ** 23-APR-02
185562 ** 2 ** 2 ** 10-MAY-02
In the above sample data, the value of instalment is changed on 21-jun-02 and 12-jul-02 for the account 70539. Also the value of Payment Type is changed on 23-apr-02 for the account 185562.
So, my output should be like this.
Account_No Payment_Type Installment_Type Date_change
70539 ** 1 ** 2 ** 26-APR-02
70539 ** 1 ** 1 ** 21-JUN-02
70539 ** 1 ** 2 ** 12-JUL-02
185562 ** 1 ** 2 ** 23-APR-02
185562 ** 2 ** 2 ** 10-MAY-02
I tried with lag function, but I couldnt succeed. Im using oracle 8.1.6 Version.
Can anyone help me to achieve this?
** To distinguish the value for each coulmn.
Thanks and regards,
Vijay R.

With the information you have provided, I've come up with the following.
SELECT A.ACCOUNT_NO, A.PAYMENT_TYPE, A.INSTALLMENT_TYPE, A.DATE_CHANGE
FROM
    (SELECT account_no, payment_type, installment_type, date_change,
            LEAD( (payment_type), 1)
                 over (partition by account_no order by account_no, DATE_CHANGE) LEAD_PAY,
            LEAD( (installment_type), 1)
                 over (partition by account_no order by account_no, DATE_CHANGE) LEAD_INST
      from T_ACCNTS ) A
WHERE A.PAYMENT_TYPE <> NVL(A.LEAD_PAY,99)
   OR A.INSTALLMENT_TYPE <> NVL(A.LEAD_INST,99)
ORDER BY 1, 4;

Calling a function in the select part of a query

I am integrating Apex with E-Bus Suite 11.5.10.2.
I have a function in a sql query. The function calls an apps view. When i run the sql query in TOAD, I get the correct data. When I run it in Apex, i get an error - it says "Invalid number"
My apex report is registered in my 11i menu. Who is the user that is running this report? Is it apps?
thanks

When you run it in TOAD, you are passing through a value, correct? Maybe when your EBS call to your APEX report is done, it is passing through a character value as apposed to a number. You might want to convert your passed in value in your function to a number to be sure..
Also, it is not always the best idea to call a function in a select statement.. Is there a reason you can't do in sql what your function is doing?
Thank you,

How to write SQL query and apply aggregate functions on it

Hello experts,
Iu2019ve a task to write SQL query on tree tables and do inner join on them. Iu2019ve accomplish this task by using T-CODE SQVI. However now I need to write a query and apply SQL functions on it i.e. Add, Count, Max and Min etc. Please can someone tell me how I can write SQL query with aggregate functions in SAP?
Thanks a lot in advance

HI Mr. Cool
you can see the below code for using aggregate functions.
where ARTIST and SEATSOCCU are the field names for which you want to perform these functions.
DATA: TOTAL_ENTRIES TYPE I,
      TOTAL_ATT TYPE I,
      MAX_ATT TYPE I,
      AVG_ATT TYPE I.
SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT ARTIST )
       SUM( SEATSOCCU )
       MAX( SEATSOCCU )
       AVG( SEATSOCCU ) FROM YCONCERT INTO (TOTAL_ENTRIES, TOTAL_ATT,
MAX_ATT, AVG_ATT).
Thanks

Variable vs hardcoded value in SQL query

Hi Gurus,
I have a SQL query inside a function that looks similar (i'm showing the "where" clause here only) to the below:
WHERE ID = variable_id (by the way this two have exactly the same type, number(20))
and
WHERE ID = 100
In the first option that uses variable it takes 4 secs to complete the query, while the second one that uses hardcoded value completes in milliseonds. Im new to oracle but been to other dbms and havent seen such behaviour. Anyone encountered or know what maybe the cause? I thought of not pasting here the explain plan since its just a question of variable vs hardcoded value.
rgds.

Just want to add something, here is the stats for the two queries:
Statistics for variable_id (15 secs)
29 recursive calls
0 db block gets
24324 consistent gets
21556 physical reads
0 redo size
20676 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
613 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
25 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
17 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
358 rows processed
Statistics for hardcoded value (5 secs)
4 recursive calls
0 db block gets
2631 consistent gets
0 physical reads
0 redo size
20469 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
613 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
25 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
0 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
358 rows processed
There are differences consistent gets and physical reads. What coul dbe the problem here?
tnx!

How to use SQL Query in OBIEE Reports

Hi all,
I need to use direct sql query in report function column.. How can I implement that.
For example
Our report name is /shared/Automotive/Vehicle Services/Most Serviced Vehicle Models
we have to eliminate /shared/Automotive/Vehicle Services/ part from above report name.. I have done this in sql using the Query SUBSTR(COL,INSTR(COL,'/',1,4)+1).
So kindly help how to implement above sql query in Obiee.. Urgent.
Thanx in advance

Thanx in advanceArrggh. I wish people wouldn't just answer a question without taking the time to actually think about what the user is asking for and if it makes sense. I like Diney's response best: Why not use the Title View? (i.e., asking questions until it is clear what is needed.) So along those lines, why are you trying to put the name of your report in a column of your report?? And why do you need to use direct sql to do this??
Kindly or not, urgent or not, state what you are trying to achieve and why you need it (if the obvious answer like "using the Title View" doesn't work for you), instead of simply assuming your method is right and you need to know how to do what envision. Your method may not be correct or necessary.
