commit;
Now I need to fetch the employees whose hire date is between 01-APR-1981 and 31-DEC-1981. If the hire date is null, then confirmation date has to be considered.
For this input the following employees's records should be returned:
7566
7654
7698
7782
7839
7844
7900
7902
I tried with CASE, DECODE in WHERE clause. But I couldn't succeed. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

No output for XML Publisher Report using CASE/DECODE in Where Clause
Hi,
I've a business requirement to modify an existing report which has two input parameters,
-> p_statcode (Closed Status) which can have values 'Y' or 'N'
-> p_overdue (Overdue Flag) which can have values 'Y' or 'N'
The Overdue Flag is an evaluated column having values of Y/N and it is evaluated as follows,
ONTF_MOD_VAL(NVL (
(TRUNC (SYSDATE)
- (TO_DATE (oe_order_lines.attribute18,
'DD-MON-RRRR')
+ TO_NUMBER (fnd_lookup_values.meaning))),
0
overdue_flagThe user requirement now is they needs to be a third option for parameter p_overdue called ALL,
passing which the output should include records having
p_statcode is Y ELSE p_statcode is N AND p_overdue is Y OR p_overdue is N
In other words records having both Y and N vlaues for Overdue Flag have to be returned irrespective of the value given to Closed Status.
Original where clause in the Data Definition file is as follows,
WHERE Closed_Status = nvl(:p_statcode,Closed_Status)
AND overdue_flag = nvl(:p_overdue,overdue_flag)My modified code is as follows,
WHERE Closed_Status = NVL (:p_statcode, Closed_Status)
AND overdue_flag = (CASE
WHEN :p_overdue = 'Y' THEN 'Y'
WHEN :p_overdue = 'N' THEN 'N'
ELSE overdue_flag
END)
OR
WHERE Closed_Status = NVL (:p_statcode, Closed_Status)
AND overdue_flag = DECODE (:p_overdue, 'Y', 'Y', 'N', 'N',overdue_flag)Both approaches have the same problem.
The output is in EXCEL format. The modified query works fine for p_overdue as Y or N but when p_overdue is passed as ALL it returns an empty EXCEL sheet with just the report output column headers.
Any help as to why this is the case ?? What is wrong in my approach ?
Regards,
Vishalnot clear about p_overdue = ALL
which values needed for p_overdue = ALL ?
try smth like
WHERE Closed_Status = NVL (:p_statcode, Closed_Status)
AND (
overdue_flag = DECODE (:p_overdue, 'Y', 'Y', 'N', 'N',overdue_flag) and :p_overdue != 'ALL'
or
:p_overdue = 'ALL' and (overdue_flag = 'Y' or overdue_flag = 'N')
)for overdue_flag which has more then 'Y', 'N' values
if overdue_flag only in ('Y','N') then
WHERE Closed_Status = NVL (:p_statcode, Closed_Status)
AND (
overdue_flag = DECODE (:p_overdue, 'Y', 'Y', 'N', 'N',overdue_flag) and :p_overdue != 'ALL'
or
:p_overdue = 'ALL'

Case statement in where clause ??
Hello gurus,
Can we use case statements in where clause ?? Any example will be great!
And also i would like to know, besides CASE and DECODE statements, Is there any way we can use IF ELSE statements in SELECT clause or in WHERE clause ?
Thank you!!Hi,

Hoek,
Thanks for the reply
Whatever you return from 'then' should match your criteria.I didnt get this part...can you elaborate this part ?? Thank you!!Remember what a CASE expression does: it returns a single value in one of the SQL data types (or NULL).
You're probably familiar with conditions such as
WHERE col = 1Inthe example above, col could be replaced by any kind of expression: a function call, and operation (such as "d * 24") or a CASE expression, which is exactly what Hoek posted:
where case
when col = 6 then 1
when col = 9 then 1
end = 1;I think what Hoek meant about mnatching was this: since the CASE expression is being compared to a NUMBER, then every THEN clause (as well as the ELSE, if there is one) should return the same data type. You can't have one THEN clause return a NUMBER, and another one in the same CASE expression return a DATE, like this:
where case
when col = 6 then 1
when col = 9 then SYSDATE -- WRONG! Raises ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
end = 1;
By the way, it's rare when a CASE expression really helps in a WHERE clause. CASE is great for doing conitional stuff in places where you otherwise can't (in the ORDER BY clause, for example), but the WHERE clause was designed for conditions.
Hoek was just trying to give a simple example. If you really wanted those results, it would be simpler to say:
where col = 6
or col = 9and simpler still to say
where col IN (6, 9) -
Hello,
I am new to Oracle. I have a, hopefully basic SQL question.
There is sometime four users in my dbs. But, I would like make query where the users below are returned, even if not in db.
1. Bob
2. Jane
3. John
4. Abul
I have rows in db:
ROWS IN DB
Username account status
bob Support Active
Jane Dev Active
John Dev Expired
How I can write query to find all users, if one is missing. Try to get format
Bob's Support account is active
Jane's Dev account is active
John's Dev account is active
Abul is not in db
I try CASE and Decode, but get bad returns.
Pls help.
Tring to learn SQL. Go to class in three weeks.Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
So you have four special users, each with a name and id number. That sounds like data. Data belongs in tables. You should create a table that has four rows. Then you could use that table to do an outer-join with other tables, such as db.
If you don't have such a table, you can generate a result set on the fly that will serve as a table. The sub-query special_users below is just that:
WITH special_users AS
SELECT 'Abul' AS username FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'BOB' FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'Jane' FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'John' FROM dual
SELECT su.username
|| CASE
WHEN db.username IS NULL
THEN ' is not in db'
ELSE '''s ' || account
|| ' account is '
|| status
END AS msg
FROM special_users su
LEFT OUTER JOIN db ON db.username = su.username
;If you do have a real special_users table, then the main query above works;l just skip the WHERE clause (the forst 7 lines) and, the query is:
SELECT su.username
|| CASE
WHEN db.username IS NULL
THEN ' is not in db'
ELSE '''s ' || account
|| ' account is '
|| status
END AS msg
FROM special_users su
LEFT OUTER JOIN db ON db.username = su.username

The subject line you chose for this message, "Case, Decode or PlSQL" is very good, and shows the order in which you should try things.
(1) CASE is the general way to handle if-then-else logic in a SQL expression
(2) DECODE (and other specialized features, such as NVL2, which Michaels used) can save you a little typing in special circumstances. Once you have mastered CASE, you can start exploring these other expressions.
(3) PL/SQL is the last resort, used only if there is no good way to do something in SQL. -
Hello All,
my table1 below
FILE_ID

3Table2
FILE_ID, FILE_NAME, P_FILE_ID
11 pdp01 1
12 pdp02 1
13 pdp03 1I am trying something like this
select case WHEN d.file_name LIKE '%01%' THEN d.file_id
end 01_file_id_value,
case WHEN d.file_name LIKE '%02%' THEN d.file_id
end 02_file_id_value
from TABLE1 r , TABLE2 d
where d.p_file_id = r.file_id'I am receiving something like
01_file_id_value 02_file_id_value
11
12I need something like
01_file_id_value 02_file_id_value
11 12I am not sure if we can do this with case/decode please help/guide meHi,
It looks like you want an aggregate query, something like this:
select MIN ( case
WHEN d.file_name LIKE '%01%' THEN d.file_id
end
) AS "01_file_id_value", -- non-standard alias must be in double-quotes
MIN ( case
WHEN d.file_name LIKE '%02%' THEN d.file_id
end
) AS "02_file_id_value" -- non-standard alias must be in double-quotes
from TABLE1 r
, TABLE2 d
where d.p_file_id = r.file_id
;What results would you want if there were two (or more) non-NULL values in the same column?
Post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) for all tables, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using. -
CASE Statement in Where Condition with Multi Valued parameter in SSRS
Hi All,
I am little confused while using CASE statement in Where condition in SSRS. Below is my scenario:
SELECT
Logic here
WHERE
Date IN (@Date)AND
(CASE
WHEN NAME LIKE 'ABC%' THEN 'GROUP1'
WHEN ID IN ('123456', '823423','74233784') THEN 'GROUP2'
WHEN ABC_ID IS NULL THEN 'GROUP3'
ELSE 'GROUP4'
END ) IN (@GROUP)
So above query uses WHERE condition with CASE statement from @GROUP parameter. I want to pass this parameter as multi- valued parameter and hence I have used CASE statement IN (@GROUP).
For @Date one dataset will pass the available and default values and
for @GROUP parameters, another dataset will pass the available and default values.
But this is not working as expected. Please suggest me where I am making mistake in the query.
Maruthu | http://sharepoint-works.blogspot.comHi Maruthu,
According to your description, I create a sample report in my local environment. It works as I expected. In your scenario, if the selected values from the Date parameter contains some of the Date field values, the selected values from the GROUP parameter
contains some of GROUPS (‘GROUP1’,’GROUP2’,’GROUP3’,’GROUP4’) and the corresponding when statement is executed , then the dataset returns the corresponding values.
In order to trouble shoot this issue, could you tell us what results are you get and what’s your desired results? If possible, you can post the sample data with sample dataset, then we can make further analysis and help you out.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

How to use CASE stmt in Where clause
Hi,
How to use CASE stmt in WHERE clause?. I need the code. Please send me as early as possible..........Hi,

Hi,
How to use CASE stmt in WHERE clause?. There's no difference between how a CASE expression is used in a WHERE clause, and how it is used in any other clause. CASE ... END always returns a single scalar value, and it can be used almost anywere a single scalar expression (such as a column, a literal, a single-row function, a + operation, ...) can be used.
CASE expressions aren't needed in WHERE clauses very much. The reason CASE expressions are so useful is that they allow you to do IF-THEN-ELSE logic anywhere in SQL. The WHERE clause already allows you to do IF-THEN-ELSE logic, usually in a more convenient way.
I need the code.So do the peple who want t help you. Post a query where you'd like to use a CASE expression in the WHERE clause. Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for any tables used unless they are commonly available, such as scott.emp). Also, post the results you want from that sample data, and explain how you get those resuts from that data.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
Please send me as early as possible..........As mentioned bfore, that's rude. It's also self-defeating. Nobody will refuse to help you because you don't appear pushy enough, but some people will refuse to help you if you appear too pushy. -

I already looked at the CASE statement and it seems that the syntax is correct, so I'm not sure I can use it in a WHERE clause.
Any help would be nice !
GuichHi,
it should be something like this:
AND CASE
WHEN 'false'='true' THEN (select id_reserv from demande_livraison where id_env_dep>='-1')
ELSE id_reserv
END = id_reserv The subquery should give one row back
But I think it is better to write your query as:
SELECT id_reserv,
concat(nom,concat('_',indice)) as nom,
libelle,
num_lot,
resa_keyword1,
resa_keyword2,
resa_keyword3,
resa_keyword4,
date_creation,
comm_creation,
id_util,
actif,
id_env_act,
(SELECT login from utilisateur u where u.id_util=r.id_util) AS nom_util,
(SELECT nom from environnement e where e.id_env=r.id_env_act) AS nom_env,
(SELECT count(*) from reserv_comp rc where rc.id_reserv=r.id_reserv) AS nbComp,
(SELECT count(*) from reserv_modif mc where mc.id_reserv=r.id_reserv) AS nbModif
FROM reservation r
WHERE r.nom NOT LIKE 'RESERV_LOT_%'
AND id_util='1'
AND actif='1'
AND id_env_act>='-1'
AND
( 'false'='true' and id_reserv not in (select id_reserv from demande_livraison where id_env_dep>='-1')
or
( 'true'= 'true' and id_reserv=id_reserv
AND nom LIKE '%'
ORDER BY date_creation;This coding in SQL something as if a=b then c, else d in the simplest form.

Case statement within where clause
How can i write a case statement within Where clause of SQL statement.
Ex:
If sysdate is less than Dec 31 of 2009 then run the query for 2009 else run the query for 2010.
belwo query is not working. Please let me know how can i write a case statement within where clause.
Select * from table
where
Case
when to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd')<=20091231 then tax_year=2009
else tax_year=2010
EndHi,
You can get the results you want like this:
Select *
from table
where tax_year = Case
when to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd') <= 20091231
then 2009
else 2010
End
;A CASE expression returns a single value in one of the SQL data types, such as a NUMBER, VARCHAR2 or DATE. There is no boolean type in SQL. -

When I run this code as a normal query at any SQL editor it works successfully, But When I Compile it at some trigger on the Form it gives me this error:
Encountered the symbol "CASE" when expecting one of the following:
( - + mod ......
Heeey how to specify the previous code to be shown as code in the thread?
Note: I'm using Forms 6iOK I tried it and worked but for one condition:
WHERE DECODE (E.qualification_sid, 1104,
(TO_DATE(E.RANK_DATE, 'DD-MM-RR')+(365*M.spe_per)+1),
(TO_DATE(E.RANK_DATE, 'DD-MM-RR')+(365*M.mili_yea_per)+1))
BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-07-2011', 'DD-MM-RR') AND TO_DATE('31-07-2011', 'DD-MM-RR')
But how to put two conditions for the same Expression:
WHERE DECODE ((E.qualification_sid, 1104) AND (E.RANK_SID, 8),
(TO_DATE(E.RANK_DATE, 'DD-MM-RR')+(365*M.spe_per)+1),
(TO_DATE(E.RANK_DATE, 'DD-MM-RR')+(365*M.mili_yea_per)+1))
BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-07-2011', 'DD-MM-RR') AND TO_DATE('31-07-2011', 'DD-MM-RR')
The previous code gives me this error: missing right parenthesis -
Hi all,
Is there any reason why decode cannot be assigned in the where clause?Shoudl we be using CASE instead ?Appreciate any suggestions.
SELECT
decode(abcd,'a','a,'b','b',NULL,'c','c')wxyz,
from COMB_DATA
where
decode(abcd,'a','a,'b','b',NULL,'c','c')wxyz ='a';Do not specify aliases for expressions in conditions :-)))
