Question

Dears,
I am facing a problem. I am preparing a business report. I have generate the report for customer orders that will expire in certain duration as well as the last Payment Method used by the customer.
For this I have to use to tables which are as follows:
ORDER_DETAIL
ONETMPRD_CHRG
ORDER_DETAIL Contains the order Id, Order Date, Payment Method.
ONETMPRD_CHRG contains the customerid, orderid, item, duration and service expiry date and other detail
ORDER_DETAIL is the master table
ONETMPRD_CHRG is the detail table.
I have write the following query to achieve this-
SELECT A.GF_USER_CUSTID , b.gf_payment_method, MAX(b.gf_order_date) --COUNT(DISTINCT a.gf_user_custid) Customer
FROM CIQDE.GT_ONETMPRD_CHRG A, CIQDE.GT_ORDER_DETAIL B , ciqops.ops_item_280106 c, ciqde.gt_customer_address_phone d, gt_customer e
WHERE B.GF_ORDER_ID = A.GF_ORDER_ID
AND c.gf_item_code=a.gf_item_code
AND a.gf_user_custid=d.gf_cust_id
AND d.gf_cust_id=e.gf_customer_id
AND a.GF_ACTUAL_END_DATE BETWEEN '23-JAN-2006' AND '01-AUG-2006'
AND a.GF_COUNTRY_CODE = 'AT'
AND a.gf_charge_type IN ('C')
AND NVL(a.gf_u_duration,0)=0
AND a.gf_price_plan_code='PPSCU'
GROUP BY A.GF_USER_CUSTID , b.gf_payment_method
ORDER BY A.GF_USER_CUSTID
Problem : I am not getting the expected Reult, some extra records are coming in the result output

Answer 1

Problem : I am not getting the expected Reult, some extra records are coming in the result output So you are getting all the records you want, just with extra ones? Then you need to work at the works you don't want and figure out what distinguishes them from the records you do want. Then amend your WHERE clause accordingly.
This is really a business issue: you understand your application and its data, we don't.
