Case function in where clause

i insert the below rows in a table cash_book.
PRJ_CODE PRJ_NAME
1203 SHIFA
1203 SHIFA
1203 SHIFA
1202 FATIMA
1202 FATIMA
1203 SHIFA
if i select 1202 code then return 1202 code rows, if i select 1203 then returns 1203 code rows, if i select other than both values then returns all rows. how can i define in one query with use (case or decode function) in where clause ??

perhaps something like this:
create table test
as
select 1200 + rownum prj_code
  from dual
connect by level <= 10;
select * from test;
  PRJ_CODE
      1201
      1202
      1203
      1204
      1205
      1206
      1207
      1208
      1209
      1210
var v_PRJ_CODE number
exec :v_PRJ_CODE := 1200;
select *
  from test
where PRJ_CODE = :v_PRJ_CODE
    or 1 = case when :v_PRJ_CODE in (1202, 1203) then 0 else 1 end;
  PRJ_CODE
      1201
      1202
      1203
      1204
      1205
      1206
      1207
      1208
      1209
      1210
exec :v_PRJ_CODE := 1203;
select *
  from test
where PRJ_CODE = :v_PRJ_CODE
    or 1 = case when :v_PRJ_CODE in (1202, 1203) then 0 else 1 end;
  PRJ_CODE

    1. when i pass the particular 5 user_name in where clause then i should get all the user_name and for other 10 users it will show only the passing user_name.

  • Clarification on using function in where clause of oracle sql query

    I have an issue in regarding function using where clause of sql query..
    We are facing performance issue while executing query, so in what ways to improve the performance of the query which i have posted below.
    select col ,case when my_function(parameter)
    from tab1 a ,tab2 b,tabl3 c
    where a.column1=b.column2
    and b.column3 =c.column6
    and my_function(parameter)>0

    Dinesh,
    remind that when you use a function in the where clause it normally will get started for each record in the table.
    So your answer is two-fold:
    1. make the function only start when needed by adding a function based index on the table (this will make inserts and updates slower)
    2. make the function faster by adding the DETERMINISTIC clause if possible. this will make Oracle "cache" the result of the function.

  • 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)

  • How to use CASE stmt in Where clause

    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.

  • Can't have aggregate function in WHERE clause clause

    Hi,
    You will have to use Sub query to achieve this. Give more details on what is available and what you need then i could help you out with the complete solution.

  • Help:alternate for calling function in where clause

    Hi ,
    In below query i'm calling function in where clause to avoid COMPLETE status records,due to this query taking 700 secs to return result.If i'm remove below function condition it's returning results with in 5 secs.Can you some one advice to any alternate idea for this?

        FROM candidate_component_reg ccr
        WHERE ccr.split_session_year = :v_year
        AND ccr.split_session_month  = :v_month
        AND EXISTS

    WHERE mark_status != 'COMPLETE';

    One thing you can test quickly is to put the function call in it's own select ...from dual.
    This might make a difference.
    However, only you can check this, I don't have your tables or data.
    So, what happens if you use:
        paper_code,
        cand_lang,
      (select mark_entry.get_ia_entry_status(:v_year, :v_month, assessment_school, subject_option, lvl, cand_lang, component, paper_code) from dual ) AS mark_status
      FROM
        (SELECT DISTINCT ccr.assessment_school,  --<< is the DISTINCT really needed?
          ccr.subject,
          ccr.subject_option,
    ...Also, try to find out the purpose of that above DISTINCT, is it really needed or is there some join missing?

    Hi,
    The best thing for you to do is start over. Start as small as possible, then take baby steps.
    Pick one of the tables; fcr perhaps, and write a query that just uses that table, like this:
    SELECT    *
    FROM       apps.fnd_concurrent_requests     fcr
    WHERE       fcr.actual_start_date          >= TRUNC (SYSDATE)
    AND       fcr.actual_start_dt          <  TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1
    ;(I think this is what you meant to do when you said "... LIKE SYSDATE".)
    Make sure this little query gets credible results. When that tiny query is working perfectly, add another line or two. You can cut and paste code from what you posted, if that helps you.
    If you get stuck, post the last version of your code that worked perfectly, and the latest version (only a line or two bigger) that has the problem. Describe what the problem is. If you get an error, post the complete error message. In any event, post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for all the tables and columns needed to run the query, and the results you want to get from that query.
    When you post any code, format it, so that how the code looks on the screen gives some clues about how it is working.
    When you post any formatted text on this site, type these 6 characters:
    \(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
    If you going to use the AVG function in the sub-query, then you probably need to do a GROUP BY in the sub-query.
    If you're not using any aggregate functions (like AVG) in the main query, then you probably don't want to do a GROUP BY in the main query.
    I know this is a lot of work.  I'm sorry.  If there was an easier way, I wouldn't ask you to do all this.

    The ones that don't work, such as:
    where code in get_codes;are comparing code to one 9-character string: 'A1','A2', where characters 1, 4, 6 and 9 are single-quotes. (The function can only return one value.)
    You can use dynamic SQL to embed that 9-character string in part of your query, where it will be interpreted as two 2-character strrings.
    [Oracle Base|http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/DynamicInLists.php] and AskTom have good pages on the subject of dynamic IN-lists.
    Of you can use INSTR or LIKE:
    where INSTR ( get_codes
                , '''' || code || ''''
                ) > 0

  • CASE in a WHERE clause : ORA-00905

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to use a CASE in a WHERE clause and I got the error ORA-00905: missing keyword. Here is my code :
    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

         AND CASE sansdemande
         WHEN true THEN id_reserv not in select id_reserv from demande_livraison where id_env_dep>='-1'
         ELSE id_reserv=id_reserv
         END
         AND nom LIKE '%'
    ORDER BY date_creation;
    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 !
    Guich

    Hi,
    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
    End

    Hi,
    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.

  • Strange errors when using user defined function in where clause

    Hello,
    I am having trouble with a function that, when used in the where clause of a select will cause an error if the first column selected is of type INTEGER. Not sure whether I am doing something wrong or whether this is a bug.
    Here is a very simple test case:
    create table test(
    col1 integer not null,
    col2 varchar(20) ascii default ''
    insert into test values(1,'2011-03-15 05:00:00')
    insert into test values(2,'2011-03-15 07:00:00')
    CREATE FUNCTION BTR_TAG  RETURNS VARCHAR AS
        VAR ret VARCHAR(20);
      SET ret='2011-03-15 06:00:00';
      RETURN ret;
    Select * from test where col2 >= BTR_TAG()
    Select col1,col2 from test where col2 >= BTR_TAG()
    =>  Error in assignment;-3016 POS(1) Invalid numeric constant
    Select '',* from test where col2 >= BTR_TAG()
    Select col2,col1 from test where col2 >= BTR_TAG()
    => works as it should
    MaxDB V 7.7.07.16 running on Windows Server 2003
    I can replicated the test case above with Sql Studio and other ODBC based tools.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hello Siva,
    sorry, but I don't understand your reply:
    This is not right forum to posting this question.
    You are from which module or working any 3rd party application.
    MaxDB 7.7.07.16 is the community version of MaxDb,
    we are not using it for SAP
    and no 3rd party software is required to reproduce my problem,
    Sql Studio or Database Studio will do.

  • Call of constant function in where clause

    Hi there,
    I want to execute the following query
    select a_field
    from a_table
    where another_field = a_func('10')
    where a_func is a stored function and returns a value dependent on its argument. Same argument returns same result. How to see, the argument is a_table-independent (constant), so the result is a constant. How can I prevent oracle from executing a_func for each row of a_table? I know, that the following code works:
    select a_field
    from a_table
    where another_field = (select a_func('10') from dual)
    but this less readable and harder to explain to low-level-users in my eyes. Is there any pragma or anything else I can do, so the first statement can executed with a single(!) execution of a_func?
    Thanks, ALu.
    null

    Unfortunately Variables do not help in this case. The query-text goes (in one of three uses) into a Delphi-TQuery-Object and after opening it the results are shown. Declaring Variables is not allowed this way. I want a single (very) easy(!) statement to be executed (see the first one above). To explain the use of the function is ok (instead of using any subselect this function calculates), but any subselect- or variable-usage is beyond most of my app-users that want access to the stored data. The solution must be found in declaration of a_func (to put it into a package an restrict it by WNPS, WNDS also did not help ...)
    Thanx anyway, ALu.
