Case ...When ...In... Then

HI Guys,
Im trying to use the IN operator inside of a case statement. This what i am trying to compile in a package but get a type missmatch error.
notification - A Varchar2
case upper(notification)
when upper(notification) in ('0100', '0200') then
displayText( "Test") ;
Any Help on why i am not allowed to do this?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Try:
create or replace procedure tst
is
notification Varchar2(100);
begin
case
when upper(notification) in ('0100', '0200') then
dbms_output.put_line( 'Test') ;
when upper(notification) in ('0300', '0400') then
dbms_output.put_line( 'Test') ;
end case;
end;
/Regards,
Miguel

Using case when statement or decode stament in where clause

hi gems..
i have a problem in the following query..
i am trying to use case when statement in the where clause of a select query.
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,
cr.salary as salary
from customer_details cr
where (case when '>' = '>' then 'cr.salary > 5000'
when '>' = '<' then 'cr.salary < 5000'
when '>' = '=' then 'cr.salary = 5000'
else null
end);
the expression in the when clause of the case-when statement will come from UI and depending on the choice i need to make the where clause.
thats why for running the query, i have put '>' in that place.
so the original query will look like this(for your reference):
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,
cr.salary as salary
from customer_details cr
where (case when variable = '>' then 'cr.salary > 5000'
when variable = '<' then 'cr.salary < 5000'
when variable = '=' then 'cr.salary = 5000'
else null
end);
so, in actual case,if the user selects '>' then the filter will be "where cr.salary > 5000"
if the user selects '<' then the filter will be "where cr.salary < 5000"
if the user selects '=' then the filter will be "where cr.salary = 5000"
but i am getting the error "ORA 00920:invalid relational operator"
please help..thanks in advance..

Hi,
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,

from customer_details cr
where (    v_variable = 'bigger'
       and cr.salary > 5000
   or (    v_variable = 'less'
      and cr.salary < 5000
   or (    v_variable = 'eq'
        and cr.salary = 5000

For some reason I can't write in sql '<', '>', '='

Another case when statement

Hi, another case statement question. My set up is calling from dasnboard prompt to publisher with an rtf template. My question is whether my logic/syntax is corrected. Thank you.
and "office"."branch" = ( CASE WHEN :BRANCH = '' THEN "office"."branch" ELSE :BRANCH END)
case when :BRANCH is null THEN 'or' ELSE 'and' END -----> (here I want to be able either or / and in case when edit box with BRANCH parameter is null use OR operator and when BRANCH parameter is field use AND operator.
and "office"."employee" like upper( CASE WHEN :EMPLOYEE = '' THEN "office"."employee" ELSE :EMPLOYEE END)

try this in TOAD (replace each apostrophe of your sql by two apostrophes and add the starting and ending apostrophe to obtain a string)
execute immediate 'INSERT INTO DATAMART.PERSONSITE (PERSON_DBID,SITE) SELECT PDBIDSKILL.DBID, MIN(PDBIDSKILL.SKILL) FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT DATAMART.V_CFG_PERSON.DBID, CASE WHEN DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL.NAME=''Complex_Rslve'' OR DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL.NAME=''Broadband_Business_Resolve'' THEN ''BBHD'' WHEN DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL.NAME=''General'' OR DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL.NAME=''General_Mobile'' OR DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL.NAME=''General_Billing'' THEN ''MASS'' WHEN DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL.NAME=''Faults_General'' OR DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL.NAME=''Faults_Business'' THEN ''Faults'' ELSE ''_Other'' END AS SKILL
FROM DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL INNER JOIN DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL_LEVEL ON DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL.DBID = DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL_LEVEL.SKILL_DBID
INNER JOIN DATAMART.V_CFG_PERSON ON DATAMART.V_CFG_PERSON.DBID = DATAMART.V_CFG_SKILL_LEVEL.PERSON_DBID) PDBIDSKILL GROUP BY PDBIDSKILL.DBID';it should give the same result as your original sql statement
before using the string in VBA you must replace '' with the characters used to denote an apostrophe within apostrophes.
I don't know nothing about VBA but I'm sure you'll know how to deal with it (an apostrophe within apostrophes).

MIN function iside CASE WHEN

Hi gurus,
I am new to PL SQL and wanted to know that cant we put MIN inside the CASE WHEN.
I have following mentioned query:
It is not allowing me to execute it, can anyone help me out?
SELECT A,
B,
D,
E,
F,
SUM
(CASE
WHEN <Expression> THEN (CASE
WHEN ( <Expression>
THEN 0
ELSE min(<Expression>) or min(<Expression>)
END
ELSE 0
END
) AS sales
FROM tab1
WHERE ( column1 = 'x' )
GROUP BY A,
B,
D,
E,
F,
Edited by: user11001347 on Oct 29, 2009 2:34 AM

Group functions within a case are perfectly acceptable e.g.
select sum(case when dummy = 'X' then '1' else min(dummy) end) from dual group by dummy
SUM(CASEWHENDUMMY='X'THEN'1'ELSEMIN(DUMMY)END)
1There are other problems with your code...
This looks wrong to me:
min(<Expression>) or min(<Expression>)and you have a trailing comma after F in the group by clause.
When you're having problems with a piece of SQL, It's useful to us if you post the error you are getting back, and your table structure and sample test data too if possible.

Boundary on "CASE WHEN" does not what i expect

Hi!
The results of query1 are exactly what i expect but when i compare the counts with CASE WHEN (query2) then i get double records where the count is exactly 8. The value of Result on the second record becomes Null. This seems to me somewhat strange.
Any suggestion?

NVL(inline_view_finalresult.u_overruled_result,inline_view_finalresult.u_calculated_result)does not return double records without the CASE WHEN (see below) but i don't understand why it comes that when i compares the counts in a CASE WHEN that i get double records where the second record has value Null as Result.

Using CASE WHEN THEN in dynamic Region Source area

Hi all,
I've been knocking my head around on this one for a while. Hope someone can show me some guidance. So far, the SQL Query in the Region Source works ok except after the THEN ''||'LINK'||'' . All text between the single quotes displays, and not just the hyperlink LINK. (My goal is to this simple test working, then go back an substitute in APP_ID, Page#, SESSION variables.) But I'm stuck with this problem. Searched the forum but this is as far as I got. Below is the code I'm using in the Region Source area. Perhaps a region attribute setting is needed but I'm unsure. Thanks for any assistance. -Mike

All text between the single quotes displays, and not just the hyperlink LINK.Not clear from this what the problem is. It appears to me that LINK is all of the "text between the single quotes". What do you mean by "all text"? (An example on apex.oracle.com is a good way to resolve such ambiguities...)
The usual cause of unexpected results when the separation of concerns is breached and HTML is directly generated in report queries is having the Display Text As report column attribute wrongly set. Ensure it is Standard Report Column rather than the default Display as Text (escape special characters).

CASE WHEN THEN END

Hello everyone,
We have a function return Y or N.
We have 2 table YTable YT and NTable NT.
We are using UNION now.
SELECT ONE.CL1
FROM (
SELECT CL1Y FROM YTable WHERE FUNCTION = 'Y'
UNION
SELECT CL1N FROM NTable WHERE FUNCTION = 'N') ONEWe are wondering to use CASE, WHEN, THEN, END.
Is it possible or NOT?
If you have a chance, please share your experiences.
Thanks in advance,
NY
P.S.
If you have more questions, please let us know.
Edited by: New Yorker on Aug 31, 2010 10:08 AM

New Yorker,
According to the given SQL block, the case function can not be used. You can use the case function with multiple table joins but you can only use the CASE WHEN ELSE END block for one column.
If i got your question correct, that is my answer to your question.

Case when then not working

What you can do is extract the number portion of your time column and apply the CASE statement. Something like this

CASE..WHEN &a THEN decode(instr(colA,'-') 1,colA,......

Using CASE within a function I wish to apply a second level of criteria within the CASE statement, something along the lines of the following:

Looks nifty but doesn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Why are you switching to DECODE? Just use CASE again:
case upper(option_in)
when 'P' then case
              when instr(value_in, '-') > 1 then value_in
              else plan_b

Case-when-then logic in join condition

Is it possible to implement case when then logic in join condition?
Instead of:

something like:
case

then INGRP1.COL1 = INGRP2.COL1 (+)
else INGRP1.COL3 = INGRP2.COL3 (+)
end

Any help much appreciated.

1) join first table with second table twice (define two input group in join, include second table in mapping twice and map them to appropriate join group)
INGRP1.COL1=INGRP2.COL1(+) and INGRP1.COL3=INGRP3.COL3(+)
2) after join calculate attributes from second table with expression like
case when COL2 IS NULL the INGRP2_ATTR else INGRP3_ATTR end
Maybe anyone has a better solution...
Regards,
Oleg

'max case when...then' does it work in Desktop reports as a calculation?

Hi!
I've used 'max case when...then' in my SQL in Admin edition. It works fine. However when I try to use it as a part of my calculation:
MAX(CASE
WHEN (:Payroll Month 1 - Gross Sal)
THEN TO_NUMBER(NVL("Gross Salary ".Basic Salary, 0)) Else 0 END)
in this manner, it gives me the error message that
'Error in formula - Unexpected end of formula - syntax error : Token THEN at position 52'
Can someone guide me please?
Thanks and regards,
Aparna

Aparna.
You cannot - without some function coding - pass Discoverer run time parameters to the Admin edition (ie: to a folder, SQL view, etc.).
If you're tyring to write a calculation like you describe, can't this just be in the Plus or Desktop version and not Admin?
So, it's a calculation in the report and not the EUL?

"CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN.......ELSE....END"??

This might be very basic question still I'm confused about it.
Can you please explain me "CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN.......ELSE....END"?
Where and why to use this statement??
Help appreciated.

First let's break down what it means. Since 1 is never equal to 0, OBI will ignore what comes immediately after and execute what comes after the ELSE.
So why would we want to do this? Well, often we want to perform some action that has nothing to do with a particular column in our subject area. By using this CASE statement, we trick OBI into thinking we are using a column for a calculation or action, but in effect, the column is unchanged.
For example, suppose you were building a dashboard prompt. You want to use a column twice in your dashboard prompt, say an ACCOUNT_OPEN_DATE column to get a range of dates. You cannot use the same column twice in a dashboard prompt. (Try it, OBI will ignore your attempt to put the same column twice into your workspace.)
So what do you do? First you get a column (in this example, I'm using a CHAR column) like Branch Name. It doesn't matter what column you use. The CHAR is used so the syntax makes sense.
You move the column to your workspace. Now you click on the Edit Formula and you type CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN Organization."Branch Name" ELSE 'TEST' END.
So in this case, the values of Branch Name are unaffected and the dummy column just represents the word 'TEST.' Now in the "Show" part of the prompt, we switch to "SQL Results" and type SELECT "Account Attributes".Account_Open_Date FROM Subject Area and set this to a PV called StartDate.
Because the column is a dummy, you can actually call it again. Use the same CASE statement to make it a "dummy" column. Then use the same SQL you used above, but this time save it to a PV called EndDate.
Now you have two date values you can use on your ACCOUNT_OPEN_DATE column to get a range of dates.
So, in conclusion, normally you choose a column from your subject area, because you need the values of that column in your report. But when you just need a column to do something unrelated to any column, you use the CASE 1=0 to make it a "dummy" column and then you can perform your action.

My nested CASE WHEN THEN ELSE is not working.

I'm working on a report that will provide a status on a component based on a defined Matrix. The status to report is determined in a hierarchal fashion...the highest seqence number status existing is reported.
I've capped the sequence number at 10 (@SeqNumCap_sav)
The matrix table is defined as such:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblAssyLineComponentStatusMatrix](
[MatrixAssyLine] [char](1) NOT NULL,

[MatrixReportedDescription3] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[MatrixReportedDescription4] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[MatrixReportedDescription5] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
This is a sample of the tblAssyLineComponentStatusMatrix data:
MatrixAssyLine MatrixComponentProduct MatrixComponentStatusSequence MatrixComponentStatus MatrixStatusDescription MatrixReportedDescription1 MatrixReportedDescription2 MatrixReportedDescription3 MatrixReportedDescription4 MatrixReportedDescription5

The problem is that the below code is returning multple records which is causing an error ... if I resequence the above Matrix table data where #3 becomes #10, 2 becomes #9 and 1 becomes #8, the query works fine - but this approach doesn't allow for easy
expansion of the data. Can anyone help me see the problem here?

Good job posting the DDL.
Your example data should be in a table format though.

Your code is a mess, it would take longer to untangle it that it would to solve your problem.
Can you give us an expected output, and perhaps the rules governing what your case statement should be doing?

Using case when statement in the select query to create physical table

Hello,
I have a requirement where in I have to execute a case when statement with a session variable while creating a physical table using a select query. let me explain with an example.
I have a physical table based on a select table with one column.
SELECT 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)' AS NAME_PARAMETER FROM DUAL. Let me call this table as the NAME_PARAMETER table.
I also have a customer table.
In my dashboard that has two pages, Page 1 contains a table with the customer table with column navigation to my second dashboard page.
In my second dashboard page I created a dashboard report based on NAME_PARAMETER table and a prompt based on customer table that sets the NAME_ PARAMETER request variable.
EXECUTION
When i click on a particular customer, the prompt sets the variable NAME_PARAMETER and the NAME_PARAMETER table shows the appropriate customer.
everything works as expected. YE!!
Now i created another table called NAME_PARAMETER1 with a little modification to the earlier table. the query is as follows.
SELECT CASE WHEN 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.NAME_PARAMETER)'='Customer 1' THEN 'TEST_MART1' ELSE TEST_MART2' END AS NAME_PARAMETER
FROM DUAL
Now I pull in this table into the second dashboard page along with the NAME_PARAMETER table report.
surprisingly, NAME_PARAMETER table report executes as is, but the other report based on the NAME_PARAMETER1 table fails with the following error.
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: 1756 message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated. [nQSError: 16014] SQL statement preparation failed. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SET VARIABLE NAME_PARAMETER='Novartis';SELECT NAME_PARAMETER.NAME_PARAMETER saw_0 FROM POC_ONE_DOT_TWO ORDER BY saw_0
If anyone has any explanation to this error and how we can achieve the same, please help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Updates :) sorry.. the error was a stupid one.. I resolved and I got stuck at my next step.
I am creating a physical table using a select query. But I am trying to obtain the name of the table dynamically.
Here is what I am trying to do. the select query of the physical table is as follows.
SELECT CUSTOMER_ID AS CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMER_NAME AS CUSTOMER_NAME FROM 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.SCHEMA_NAME)'.CUSTOMER.
The idea behind this is to obtain the data from the same table from different schemas dynamically based on what a session variable. Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this, if not please let me know if this can be achieved in any other method in OBIEE.
Thanks.
