CASE statement in Oracle 8i PL/SQL

I'm in the process of doing an upgrade from 8i to 10g and have the necessary instructions in performing it. however, after running the pre upgrade tasks (run utlu102i.sql) to show the preupgrade information, i found out that there are some INVALID objects.
Miscellaneous Warnings
WARNING: --> Database contains INVALID objects prior to upgrade.
.... USER INGITRN has 1 INVALID objects.
.... USER INGIUAT has 3 INVALID objects.
.... USER OEMMON has 7 INVALID objects.
.... USER RE_ITF_USER has 11 INVALID objects.
.... USER SYS has 1 INVALID objects.
Would it be ok to proceed with the upgrade and ignore the warnings?
Also, as i checked the invalid object for SYS, it shows:
OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE STATUS
SYS UTL_RECOMP PACKAGE VALID
SYS UTL_RECOMP PACKAGE BODY INVALID
Further more, i tried to do a fix by invoking utlirp.sql and the same objects are showing up. Same thing shows when invoking utlrp.sql or even doing a manual compile for the affected objects. I later found out that CASE statements are not accepted in PL/SQL for Oracle 8i.
Can you help me fixed the issue on the invalid object?
Thanks

Hi,
Try first to (re)compile ll invalid objects. then
you can run:
select owner,type,count(*) from all_errors
group by owner,typeif you still have uncompiled objects, then report the different errors:
select * from all_errors...

Case Statement in Oracle Query.

Hello Oracle Gurus,
I need suggestion on whether I should use Case statement in Oracle queries.
I have a sql statement which inserts the data by selecting data from other table. While selecting the data I have put a logic in the select statement for one column which is something like this and there are some more similar statements in the same query.
CASE
               WHEN (b.ACCOUNT = 'FIN' or b.ACCOUNT ='FIN ACC' or b.ACCOUNT like '%Global Eq%' or b.ACCOUNT like '%Flexible Bond%')
               THEN
                    'MTM'
                         WHEN (substr(a.CTC,-3)='MTM')
               THEN
                    'MTM'
                         WHEN (substr(a.CTC,-3)='AFS' or substr(a.CTC,-3)='HTM' OR substr(a.CTC,-3)='ACC' OR substr(a.CTC,-3)='HFI' )
               THEN
                    'ACC'
               ELSE
                              'OTH'
          END,
I wanted to get an suggestion about how much performance issue can I have due to this in my insert statement.
Let me know if you need any other information.All comments are really appreciated.

Hi,
It's depends on the joins how you have performed with source table, stats and existing of indexes. If the volume of data is high - in case of any performance issue - why can't you perform the required things of logical conditions of data and popualte in one cluster so - that you can fetch out the chunks of required information with better way and in support with indexes.
Let us know the ful query your working on

Just a FYI regarding Case statements in ORacle 8i in pl/sql

Well..I saw numerous posts in this forum regarding not being able to do case statement within pl/sql. Well..you can do
that using dynamic SQL. IT works like a champ.

Case statement in Oracle 8i

can anyone tell me what to do to make the query below run in Oracle 8i.
thanks
select
case connum
when 'C251234' then 'Good'
when 'C318260' then 'Ok'
else connum end
from names

I believe the confusion arises since CASE and other new functions and features in 8i - analytic functions, NVL2 scalar subquery ..., did not work in PL/SQL in 8i due to it having a different SQL parsing engine. A common work around was to put the offending SQL in a view or execute it as dynamic SQL where PL/SQL would use the database parser.

Got error when use case statement in oracle stored procedure

Hi,
I have a query like:
select merchant_id,
case
when product_type='K' then 'Production'
when product_carrier='UC' THEN 'Shipping'
end the_type
from product_tbl
where merchant_id=10114
It works fine. But as soon as I put it into a stored procedure, I got error like:
Encountered the symbol "CASE" when expecting one of the following:
( - + mod null <an identifier>
Please help!

Oracle 8i doesn't support CASE into PL/SQL, so as Kamal said, create a view with the CASE, and use this view into your PL/SQL.
Nicolas.
And an example here :

Need help converting Excel IF statement into CASE WHEN statement for Oracle

Hi,
Hope someone can help I have tried various ways of getting this to work, to no avail!
Bascially I have some figures that are minus figures, and I need to add them together to get a movement figure, but I need to treat the minus figures as minus, if that makes sense, rather than the usual... a minus and a minus makes a plus.
For example:- Budget Figure = -1% and Actual Figure = -68% so the movement needs to be -69%.
The IF statement I have been using in Excel is the following:-
=IF(FO110<0,(FP110-(IF(FO110=0,1,FO110)*-1)),FP110-IF(FO110=0,1,FO110))
Which when using the figures as above = -69%
Cell FO = The Budget Figure
Cell FP = The Actual Figure
However, when I created the CASE statement in Oracle, the figure in the query comes back as -0.67, which is oviously not what I want to happen when both actual and budget are minus figures; however when they are a minus and a plus, it works perfectly fine.
Any help on this would be most appreciated!
Kind regards,
Annmarie

Happy I did'n mess something up :)
Nevertheless, don't show it too much around because
case when budget < 0
     then actual - case when budget = 0 /* will never happen */
                        then 1           /* will never happen */
                        else budget
                   end * (-1)            /* -budget * (-1) remains only */
     else actual - case when budget = 0
                        then 1
                        else budget
                   end
endso at least try the following (if case is more readable as decode for you). Let's hope it works as I don't have a Database at hand
case when budget < 0
     then actual + budget
     else actual - case when budget = 0
                        then 1
                        else budget
                   end

Case Statement problem

Hi All,
I am trying to come up with a case statement for the below provided sql but i am not able to do that can you guys help me out
(SELECT NO_OF_DAYS.id_person
FROM NO_OF_DAYS
WHERE NO_OF_DAYS.STATUS = 'Y'
AND NO_OF_DAYS.ID_PERSON = PERSON.ID_PERSON
HAVING (SUM( NO_OF_DAYS.DT_STAT_END
- NO_OF_DAYS.DT_STAT_START)) > 180)
the case statement i am trying to come up with is if the person status start - end date is greater than 180 days then 'y' else 'n' end

Hi.
If you have two tables: NO_OF_DAYS and PERSON and PERSON is a parent table of NO_OF_DAYS this could work:
WITH NO_OF_DAYS AS
     SELECT 1 id_person,TO_DATE('2012-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD') DT_STAT_START, TO_DATE('2012-01-31','YYYY-MM-DD') DT_STAT_END,'Y' status FROM dual UNION
     SELECT 1 id_person,TO_DATE('2012-02-01','YYYY-MM-DD') DT_STAT_START, TO_DATE('2012-02-20','YYYY-MM-DD') DT_STAT_END,'Y' status FROM dual UNION
     SELECT 2 id_person,TO_DATE('2012-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD') DT_STAT_START, TO_DATE('2012-03-31','YYYY-MM-DD') DT_STAT_END,'Y' status FROM dual UNION
     SELECT 2 id_person,TO_DATE('2012-04-01','YYYY-MM-DD') DT_STAT_START, TO_DATE('2012-10-01','YYYY-MM-DD') DT_STAT_END,'Y' status FROM dual
PERSON AS
     SELECT 1 id_person FROM DUAL UNION
     SELECT 2 id_person FROM DUAL
SELECT
     NO_OF_DAYS.id_person,
     CASE WHEN (SUM(NO_OF_DAYS.DT_STAT_END- NO_OF_DAYS.DT_STAT_START)) > 180 THEN 'Y'
          ELSE 'N'
     END y_n
FROM
     NO_OF_DAYS,
     PERSON
WHERE
     NO_OF_DAYS.ID_PERSON = PERSON.ID_PERSON AND
     NO_OF_DAYS.STATUS = 'Y'
GROUP BY NO_OF_DAYS.id_person;
--results
ID_PERSON     Y_N
1          N
2          YHope this helps.
Regards.

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.

CASE STATEMENTS AND CASE EXPRESSIONS IN ORACLE9I PL/SQL

제품 : PL/SQL

CASE STATEMENTS AND CASE EXPRESSIONS IN ORACLE9I PL/SQL
=======================================================
PURPOSE
아래의 자료는 Case 문에서 oracle 8.1.7과 Oracle 9i의 New Feature로 8.1.7에서는
sqlplus 에서만 가능했고, 9i 부터는 pl/sql 까지 가능하다.
Explanation
1. Oracle 8.1.7 Feature
Oracle 8.1.7 에서 Case 문은 Decode 문과 유사하지만, 기존의 decode 문을 쓰는 것보다
더 많은 확장성과 Logical Power와 좋은 성능을 제공한다. 주로 나이와 같이 category 별로
나눌때 주로 사용하고 Syntex는 아래와 같다.
CASE WHEN <cond1> THEN <v1> WHEN <cond2> THEN <v2> ... [ELSE <vn+1> ] END
각각의 WHEN...THEN 절의 argument 는 255 까지 가능하고 이 Limit를 해결하려면
Oracle 8i Reference를 참조하면 된다.
The maximum number of arguments in a CASE expression is 255, and each
WHEN ... THEN pair counts as two arguments. To avoid exceeding the limit of 128 choices,
you can nest CASE expressions. That is expr1 can itself be a CASE expression.
Case Example : 한 회사의 모든 종업원의 평균 봉급을 계산하는데 봉급이 $2000보다 작은경우
2000으로 계산을 하는 방법이 pl/sql을 대신하여 case function을 사용할 수 있다.
SELECT AVG(CASE when e.sal > 2000 THEN e.sal ELSE 2000 end) FROM emp e;
Case Example : 나이를 column으로 가지고 있는 customer table을 예로 들어보자.
SQL> SELECT
2 SUM(CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 70 AND 79 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "70-79",
3 SUM(CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 80 AND 89 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "80-89",
4 SUM(CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 90 AND 99 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "90-99",
5 SUM(CASE WHEN age > 99 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as "100+"
6 FROM customer;
70-79 80-89 90-99 100+
4 2 3 1

2 (CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 70 AND 79 THEN '70-79'
3 WHEN age BETWEEN 80 and 89 THEN '80-89'
4 WHEN age BETWEEN 90 and 99 THEN '90-99'
5 WHEN age > 99 THEN '100+' END) as age_group,
6 COUNT(*) as age_count
7 FROM customer
8 GROUP BY
9 (CASE WHEN age BETWEEN 70 AND 79 THEN '70-79'
10 WHEN age BETWEEN 80 and 89 THEN '80-89'
11 WHEN age BETWEEN 90 and 99 THEN '90-99'

Example
2. Oracle 9i Feature
Oracle 9i부터는 pl/sql에서도 case문을 사용할 수 있으면 이것은
복잡한 if-else 구문을 없애고, C언어의 switch문과 같은 기능을 한다.
아래의 9i pl/sql Sample 및 제약 사항을 보면 아래와 같다.
Sample 1:
A simple example demonstrating the proper syntax for a case
statement
using a character variable as the selector. See the section entitled
'Restrictions' at the end of this article for details on which PLSQL
datatypes may appear as a selector in a case statement or
expression.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code begins here - - - - - - - - - - - -
set serveroutput on
declare
achar char(1) := '&achar';
begin
case achar
when 'A' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Excellent');
when 'B' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Very Good');
when 'C' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Good');
when 'D' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Fair');
when 'F' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Poor');
else dbms_output.put_line('The description was No such Grade');
end case;
end;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code ends here - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sample 2:
A simple example demonstrating the proper syntax for a case
expression
using a character variable as the selector. See the section entitled
'Restrictions' at the end of this article for details on which PLSQL
datatypes may appear as a selector in a case statement or
expression.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code begins here - - - - - - - - - - - -
set serveroutput on
declare
achar char(1) := '&achar';
description varchar2(20);
begin
description :=
case achar
when 'A' then 'Excellent'
when 'B' then 'Very Good'
when 'C' then 'Good'
when 'D' then 'Fair'
when 'F' then 'Poor'
else 'No such grade'
end;
dbms_output.put_line('The description was ' || description);
end;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code ends here - - - - - - - - - - - -
NOTE: The above simple samples demonstrate two subtle differences in the
syntax
required for case statements and expressions.
1) A case STATEMENT is terminated using the 'end case' keywords; a
case
EXPRESSION is terminated using only the 'end' keyword.
2) Each item in a case STATEMENT consists of one or more
statements, each
terminated by a semicolon. Each item in a case expression
consists of
exactly one expression, not terminated by a semicolon.
Sample 3:
Sample 1 demonstrates a simple case statement in which the selector
is
compared for equality with each item in the case statement body.
PL/SQL
also provides a 'searched' case statement as an alternative; rather
than
providing a selector and a list of values, each item in the body of
the
case statement provides its own predicate. This predicate can be any
valid boolean expression, but only one case will be selected.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code begins here - - - - - - - - - - - -
set serveroutput on
declare
achar char(1) := '&achar';
begin
case
when achar = 'A' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was
Excellent');
when achar = 'B' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was Very
Good');
when achar = 'C' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was
Good');
when achar = 'D' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was
Fair');
when achar = 'F' then dbms_output.put_line('The description was
Poor');
else dbms_output.put_line('The description was No such Grade');
end case;
end;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code ends here - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sample 4:
This sample demonstrates the proper syntax for a case expression of
the
type discussed in Sample 3 above.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code begins here - - - - - - - - - - - -
set serveroutput on
declare
achar char(1) := '&achar';
description varchar2(20);
begin
description :=
case
when achar = 'A' then 'Excellent'
when achar = 'B' then 'Very Good'
when achar = 'C' then 'Good'
when achar = 'D' then 'Fair'
when achar = 'F' then 'Poor'
else 'No such grade'
end;
dbms_output.put_line('The description was ' || description);
end;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code ends here - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sample 5:
This sample demonstrates the use of nested case statements. It is
also
permissable to nest case expressions within a case statement (though
it
is not demonstrated here), but nesting of case statements within a
case
expression is not possible since statements do not return any value.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code begins here - - - - - - - - - - - -
set serveroutput on
declare
anum1 number := &anum1;
anum2 number := &anum2;
answer number;
begin
case anum1
when 1 then case anum2
when 1 then answer := 10;
when 2 then answer := 20;

end case;
dbms_output.put_line('The answer is ' || answer);
end;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code ends here - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sample 6:
This sample demonstrates nesting of case expressions within another
case
expression. Note again the absence of semicolons to terminate both
the
nested case expression and the individual cases of those
expressions.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code begins here - - - - - - - - - - - -
set serveroutput on
declare
anum1 number := &anum1;
anum2 number := &anum2;
answer number;
begin
answer :=
case anum1
when 1 then case anum2
when 1 then 10
when 2 then 20
when 3 then 30
else 999
end
when 2 then case anum2
when 1 then 15
when 2 then 25
when 3 then 35
else 777
end
else 555
end;
dbms_output.put_line('The answer is ' || answer);
end;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Code ends here - - - - - - - - - - - -
Although PL/SQL anonymous blocks have been used in all of the examples
so far,
case statements and expressions can also be used in procedures,
functions, and
packages with no changes to the syntax.
The following samples are included for completeness and demonstrate the
use of
case statements and/or expressions in each of these scenarios.
Sample 7:
This sample demonstrates use of a case statement in a stored
procedure.
Note that this sample also demonstrates that it is possible for each
of
the items in the case body to consist of more than one statement.

I have done the following code but doesn't
like the statement of - "case(butNext)". What do you mean "doesn't like" -- did you get an error message?
I'm guessing it won't compile because you're trying to switch on a Button.
I tried something
like "g.fillOval(100,50,70,90, BorderLayout.NORTH)"...no that doesn't make sense. You only use BorderLayout.NORTH when you're adding components to a BorderLayout layout manager. An oval is not a component and fillOval isn't adding a component and Graphics is not a Panel or layout manager.
Would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to position
shapes using the graohic method. I think the problem is that you're confusing shapes with components.

Adding a field to an sql statement in Oracle Reports error ORA-00933

We have been requested to add a field that already exists in the table referred to by the sql statement in Oracle Reports Builder. The report was set up by a consultant about 3 yrs ago and we don't really have much skill in this area. What is happening when I try to modify the SQL statement, either adding a field or deleting a field to the SELECT statement, causes an error message preventing the statement from being saved. The only way out of the error message is to click Cancel. The error message is
ORA-00933:SQL command not properly ended
ORDER BY Program ==> NAME
Even adding or deleting a space anywhere in the SQL statement causes the error (not adding any new fields). A coworker found that if we comment out the ORDER BY, the statement will accept the new field in the SELECT section, however then we lose the order by functionality. I would like to add one additional field before the FROM. Not sure if any additional data are needed. Thank you.

Hi Denis,
I tried your suggestion. The good thing is that adding the comma allowed me to be able to add a.campus to the select statement, unfortunately, another error message happened.
ORA-00936: missing expression SELECT p . person_uid PIDM_KEY ,
p . id_number , p . full_name_lfmi name , p . BIRTH_DATE , p . GENDER Sex ,
Decode ( a . residency , 'D' , p . Primary_Ethnicity , 'F' ) Ethn , a . academic_period TERM ,
CASE WHEN : P_group_by = 'PROGRAM THEN a I started over and tried only putting in the comma and get the same message even though I didn't add campus. After that, removed the comma which led to the ORA-00933 error message. So once again, I had to close the file without saving, in order for the report to run at all.

SQL CASE statement in XML template- End tag does not match start tag 'group

Hi All,
I am developing a report that has the SQL CASE statement in the query. I am trying to load this into RTF with report wizard and it gives me below error
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: End tag does not match start tag 'group'
Does XML publisher support CASE statement?
My query is something like this
SELECT customercode,
SUM(CASE WHEN invoicedate >= current date - 30 days
THEN balanceforward ELSE 0 END) AS "0-30",
SUM(CASE WHEN invoicedate BETWEEN current date - 60 days
AND current date - 31 days
THEN balanceforward ELSE 0 END) AS "31-60",
SUM(CASE WHEN invoicedate < current date - 60 days
THEN balanceforward ELSE 0 END) AS "61>",
SUM(balanceforward) AS total_outstanding
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY customercode
ORDER BY total_outstanding DESC
Please advice if the CASE statement or the double quotes are causing this error
Thanks,
PP

I got this to work in the XML but the data is returning zeros for all the case statements. When I run this in toad I get results for all the case conditions but when ran in XML the data displayed is all zeros. I am not sure what I am missing. Can someone shed some light on this please
Thanks!

Seems like you want to convert a SQL statement from the ??? dialect to the Oracle dialect. *(It would be useful to indicate the non-ANSI standard SQL you are starting with.)
Part of the problem is that you use several date related functions. Some are unnecessary in Oracle and some need to translated into Oracle functions as found in the Functions section (chapter 5) of the SQL Reference manual at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
Note that columns and expressions of type 'date' in ORacle always contain all of "yyyy mm dd hh mi ss" and you need to format and trauncate as necessary.
Also note that '09-JAN-31' is NOT an Oracle date, but rather a character representation of a date which must be converted to/from a date expression. You will often need to use the to_date() and to_char() functions with a format mask as the second parameter. This is also descreibed in the first 2 chapters of the SQL Reference manual.

Can CR 2008 with XML ODBC driver using SQL CASE statement?

Hi:
when i use SQL Command to provide data to the report from XML file connection. I can not use CASE statement , CR always has error message about "CASE" word.
I test the same Statement in SQL client connected to Oracle, it runs fine.
So.. Is it driver's limitation that XML datasource can not use CASE statement inside SQL command window?
Thanks anyone's reply in advance.
Johnnychi

Hi Johnny,
CR supports what every the ODBC driver supports. The error you are getting is from the XML driver, CR is just passing it through.
Try using an ODBC to XML driver and then a stand-alone ODBC test tool to see if your SQL works.
If not you'll have to find another way to use the CASE statement.
Thank you
Don

How to create nested CASE statements in PL/SQL

Can anyone please tell how to create Nested CASE statements in PL/SQL with proper syntax?
It would be better if you can help with an example.
Thank you!

Something like this:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
2    v1 number := 2;
3    v2 varchar2(1) := 'C';
4 begin
5    case v1
6      when 1 then dbms_output.put_line('First');
7      when 2 then begin
8                    case v2
9                      when 'A' then dbms_output.put_line('Found A');
10                      when 'B' then dbms_output.put_line('Found B');
11                      when 'C' then dbms_output.put_line('Found C');
12                      else dbms_output.put_line('NONE');
13                    end case;
14                  end;
15      else dbms_output.put_line('Else');
16    end case;
17 end;

SQL Expression in decode function or case statement?

Can I put SQL expressions in decode function or case statement?
For example,
select le.profile, decode( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile, 0, 'N', 'Y')
from element le;
or
select le.profile, case WHEN ( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile) = 0 THEN 'N'
ELSE 'Y'
from element le;
None of the above work.
Can anyone tell me how to make it work?
Is there any workaround?
Thanks,
J

You simply needed and END to your CASE statement;
SQL> with profile_data as (
   select 'XXXX_AFTER' name, 1 object_id from dual),
     element as (
   select 1 profile from dual union all
   select 2 from dual)
select le.profile,
   case WHEN ( select count(1) from profile_data where NAME= 'XXXX_AFTER' and object_id = le.profile) = 0
   THEN 'N'
   ELSE 'Y'
   END new_col
from element le
   PROFILE N
         1 Y
         2 N
