Compare columns SQL select statement (easy question)

Hi,
I need to write a query which compares every account's products to see if they match up with a corresponding service. Here is an example of my dataset.
Account_no products service
0001 prod1, prod2,prod3 serv1, serv2,serv3
0002 prod1,prod2,prod4 serv1,serv2,serv3,serv4
0003 prod1,prod2 serv1,serv2
I would like to pick up either a service or a product that does not have a matching pair, so in this example it would pick up account_no 0002 and shoe me the products, services so I can see which one doesn't have a match.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Joe

select * from table_name
where to_number(replace(replace(replace(products,'prod',''),',',''),' ','')) <>
to_number(replace(replace(replace(services,'prod',''),',',''),' ',''));

well, ok, it's not possible with SQL, but how about PL/SQL?As mentioned, using DBMS_SQL you can only really use positional notation... and you can also use those positions to get the other information such as what the column is called, what it's datatype is etc.

Exporting SQL Select statement to spreadsheet

Hi all, basic question that I couldn't find the answer to while googling and searching the Oracle documentation.
What is the code for exporting the result of a SQL Select statement to a spreadsheet such as Excel or Calc? In Oracle SQL Developer I tried saving the output as an XML file but it did not come out properly and I tried using EXPORT at the end of the statement but it gave an error message and I am not sure if this is the right command or what the syntax is. Thanks.

Here's an example of one way to create CSV files that most spreadsheet type applications are able to read...

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.

Javascript and sql select statement

I am working in html db in the 10 g environment. I'm trying to create an "auto suggestion function" that predicts values as the user enters characters into a text field. I've gotten it to work by hard coding the values in the function, ie: states. btw: there are several external javascript files at work here.
What I want is to create a dynamic link to the database to gather, say, all names of providers at the time the page is built to use in the auto suggest format. I want to put this into a javascript routine and I'm having problems finding out how to mix the sql select statement into the javascript function.
For the states example, I'm using:
function StateSuggestions() {
this.states = [
"Alabama", "Alaska", "Arizona", "Arkansas",
"California", "Colorado", "Connecticut",..."Wyoming" ];
Can I substitute the hard coded data (states) with a sql select statement such
as:
select name from <dbtable> ???
How does this need to be "wrapped" or containerized?
Thank you. You have a great product in html db and your site is very useful. I appreciate everything you have done to assist us. Again, thank you.

Hi,
You can use TRUNC with 2 arguments to get the first DATE in a month, year, quarter, week, hour, minute, ISO year, ...
SELECT TRUNC ( ADD_MONTHS ( SYSDATE
                           , 12
              , 'MONTH'
              )     AS first_of_month
FROM    dual
;The DATE returned will be in the same month, year, quearter, ... as the first argument.
\We convered the last day of the month in [your previous question|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3942939#3942939].
At that time, I warded about using LAST_DAY as a cutoff point; TRUNC is a much better way.
For example, to find all appointment_dates in the current month next year:
SELECT *
FROM    appointments
WHERE   appointment_date >= TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 12), 'MONTH')
AND     appointment_date < TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, 13), 'MONTH')Note that
the first part of the WHERE clause calls for dates on or equal to the beginning of the 12th month in the future, but
the second part of the WHERE clause calls for dates before, not equal to , the beginning of the 13th month in the future.

Parsing an OPEN SQL select statement

Hi all,
I want to parse an open SQL select statement to get the list of tables and the corresponding fields in the select statement.
Is there some ABAP-internal syntax from the SAP Database Interface that does this? or is the only option to do this is to manually break the statement?
Thanks.
Girish

Hi,
I doubt if there is something like that available to use. It think you will have to write a parser for yourself.

Hi,
Assign the alias in a sub-query. Then you'll be able to use it wherever you want to, and how many times you want to, in a super-query.
For example:
WITH     got_vendor     AS
     SELECT     hdr.business_unit
              SELECT v.name1
              FROM    ps_vendor     v

              AND     v.setid          = (
                                            SELECT setid

,       vendor
FROM       got_vendor
GROUP BY business_unit
,       vendor
;When you define an alias (such as vendor) in a query, you can use that alias in the ORDER BY clause of that same query, but that's the only place in that same query where you can use it. If you want to use the alias anywhere else (e.g., in the GROUP BY clause, as in your example, the WHERE clause, or elsewhere in the SELECT clause), then you probably want to compute it in a sub-query, as shown above.
There's probably a better way to compute vendor, but that's a separate problem.

Retrieving multiple values from one column in SELECT statement

Hi,
I have a slight dilemma in that I'm trying to pull down all the values from a column from a select statement that includes some JOINS in it.
If I run the query at the SQL Plus prompt, it pulls back all the values/rows.
When I run the select (and prepared ) statement in my JSP, it only pulls back one of the 4 values I'm trying to retrieve.
e.g.
at the DB level :
SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a
INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON
a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND
a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH
WHERE CC_ID = 1688this will return:
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
ops 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
comply 1688
When run in my JSP, like so:
String primID3a = request.getParameter("primID");
Statement stmtovoter = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
String prepvotSQL = "SELECT role_name, CC_ID FROM votetbl a INNER JOIN APPROVERS b ON a.BUSVP = b.BUSVP AND " +
"a.BRANCH = b.BRANCH WHERE CC_ID = ?";
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
out.println("Vote category: "+votecat);I only get ops returned.
Do I need to run an enumerator? Or reqest.getParameterValues or use a while statement around the results set?
Any feedback and direction here is welcomed!
Thanks!

Actually, I tried looping and still only get 1, but returned several times.
i.e.
PreparedStatement prepvotstmt = connection.prepareStatement(prepvotSQL);
prepvotstmt.setString(1, primID3a);
ResultSet rest3 = prepvotstmt.executeQuery();
rest3.next();
String votecat = rest3.getString(1);
while (rest3.next()) {
out.print("category roles "+votecat);
}then I get returned the following:
admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admincategory roles admin
like so.
Where as at the DB level I get
ROLE_NAME CC_ID
admin 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
ops 1688
risk 1688
comply 1688
legal 1688
legal 1688
ops 1688
comply 1688
Maybe the while should go around the getString(1) designation? But I was thinking I'd tried that and gotten invalid cursor error
Something is definitely amiss, between the prepared statement in the servlet and the SELECT statement at the DB level.
I can totally hardcode the statement in the servlet or JSP and it will return one value potentially several times, but only one.
Other times, it will not return a value at all, even though one resides in the db.
Yet go to the DB/SQL Plus prompt and it returns perfectly. I can simply copy and paste the SELECT statement from the out.print line I made and it works like a champ in SQL Plus. Any ideas why the same exact thing cannot return the proper values within the servlet/JSP?
Yeeeeeeesh!!! : (

Sort key too long - maximum number of columns in select statement

the sort key too long is caused by either too many group
functions or too many columns selected. Does anyone know the
maximum number of columns that can be selected in one statement ?

The Oracle 9i reference states ...
The GROUP BY expression and all of the
nondistinct aggregates functions (for example,
SUM, AVG) must fit within a single database
block.
... and the Oracle 9i SQL Reference states that ...
An order_by_clause can contain no more than 255
expressions.
You could check your own documentation, but i think it will
be the same.

Can we convert a SQL (Select Statement) to Procedure.?

Hi
I am using a select sql for retrieving the results - Below is a sample sql select query.
select TableC.DATEFIELD as QUERY_DATE,
TableB.COLUMN1 PROCESS,
TableC.COLUMN1 PRODUCT,
sum(TableC.COLUMN4) as OPEN_INSTANCES
from      TableA, TableB, TableC
where TableB.COLUMN1      = TableA.COLUMN2
and      TableA.COLUMN2      = TableC.COLUMN2
and      DATEFIELD <= to_date('2011-02-02' ,'YYYY-MM-DD')
and      DATEFIELD >= to_date('2011-02-02' ,'YYYY-MM-DD')
and      TableC.COLUMN4 <= (24 * 3600 )
and      TableB.COLUMN1 like 'PROCESSID'
and      TableC.COLUMN1 in ('OSRCITR')
group by TableC.DATEFIELD as QUERY_DATE,
TableA.COLUMN1 PROCESS,
TableC.COLUMN1 PRODUCT
I believe if we use a Procedure, It would be much faster. Is there any way that we can convert the above select sql to a procedure. If yes, how can it be.
Thanks in Advance.

What version of Oracle are you on?
Under the right conditions deconstructing a huge query into smaller components sometimes can offer performance increases, but this is more true of older versions of Oracle than recent ones. Lately I get better results from tuning queries in place - as Aman pointed out you introduce context switching (moving between the SQL and PL/SQL engines to do work) which can also hurt performance.
Try tuning the query first. Get an execution plan. Things you can look for include
* make sure the driving table is the best one
* are the join columns properly indexed? Are existing indexes being suppressed due to the functions?
Is "and      TableB.COLUMN1 like 'PROCESSID' " correct? without a wildcard LIKE should evalate to =

Adding columns in select statements

All if i have the following statement and i wanted to add the two volume columns in the select statement can i just do a A1.volume + A2.Volume as vol
SELECT A1.ORDERID,A1.MARKET,A1.GIMSG, A2.ORDERID,A2.MARKET,A2.TRADERID, A1.VOLUME, A2.VOLUME
FROM table1 A1 JOIN table2
ON A1.TRADEDATE = A2.TRADEDATE

No that wouldnt work,
Error will be invalid no(error no ORA-01722)
but you can use pipe(||)
select col1||col2 as col from ......
ex: SQL> select e.ename||d.dname as result_col from emp e,dept d where e.deptno=d.deptno;
RESULT_COL
SMITHRESEARCH
ALLENSALES
WARDSALES
JONESRESEARCH
MARTINSALES
BLAKESALES
CLARKACCOUNTING
SCOTTRESEARCH
KINGACCOUNTING
TURNERSALES
ADAMSRESEARCH
RESULT_COL
JAMESSALES
FORDRESEARCH

How to generate mutiple Results for multiple SQL SELECT statements

I just downloaded SQL Developer 1.5 and play around with it.
On a daily basis, I need run 4 different SELECT statements and dump the output of each SELECT into an CSV file and send to some users. In SQL Navigator, I can select all 4 SELECT statements and execute them at same time. Once all complete, I will see 4 tabs, each represent the output for each SELECT statement. Then I can export output from each tab into a CSV file.
It seems that SQL Developer 1.5 still can't run mutiple SELECT statements and display the output of each statement into a separate "Results" tab so that I can export the data into multiple CSV files easily.
Right now, I have to hightlight each SELECT statement and press F9, then export the output data into CSV.
I wish I can execute 4 SELECT statements all in once on SQL Developer and get all the output data and export 4 times into 4 CSV files.
Thanks!
Kevin

How about doing it as a set of tabs within the Resuls Tab?
So you would have your Top row of tabs:
Results, Script Output, Explain, AutoTrace, DBMS Output and OWA Output
Then When you have the Results tab selected you could have a row of tabs beneath the Top row with one tab for each result set. Switching between result sets should switch which section of SQL is highlighted as the "Current SQL".
A similar mechinism could be employed for each of the top level tabs where it makes sense to have multiple output tabs.
A further refinement of this feature might be to allow the result tabs to be dockable within the parent tab so that multiple result tabs can be viewed simultaneously. This way 2 or more explain plans (for example) could be visually compared without requiring the code to exist in two separate code panes.

SQL select statements

Hey everyone,
First of all, yes, I have been looking through the 8.5 database schema guide. As I have been reviewing the schema, I have been developing some ideas as to how to collect the desired data. However, if anyone has already developed or found the SQL statements (which I'm sure someone already has) it would help me by minimizing buggs in my data collection program.
All of these statistics need to be grouped by CSQ and selected for a certain time range (<start time> and <stop time>). I.e. 1 hour increments. I have no problem getting a list of results and then performing calulations to get the desired end result. Also, if I need to perform multiple select statements to essentialy join two tables, please include both statements. Finally, I saw the RtCSQsSummary table, but I have to collect data for the past, not at that given time.
1. Total calls presented per CSQ
2. Total calls answered per CSQ
3. Total calls abandoned per CSQ
4. Percentage of calls abandoned per CSQ (if this is not stored in the database, I'm thinking: <calls abandonded>/<calls presented>)
5. Average abandon time in seconds (if this is not stored in the db, I'm thinking: sum(<abandon time>)/<calls abandonded>)
6. Service Level - % calls answered in 90 seonds by a skill-set (I saw metServiceLevel in table ContactQueueDetail; however, I would have to find how to configure this threshold for the application)
7. Average speed of answer per CSQ
8. Average call talk time per CSQ
9. Aggregate logged in time of CSQ resources/agents
10. Aggregate ready time of CSQ resources/agents
I realize that some of these should be easy to find (as I am still digging through the db schema guide), but I was reading how a new record is created for every call leg so I could easily see how I could get inaccurate information without properly developed select statements.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
kindly use the below link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_8_5/user/guide/uccx85dbschema.pdf
it is the data base schema for UCCX 8.5.
if you want to connect to DB. go to page 123. it shows you how to connect to DB. it is for UCCX 9 not 8.5 but it worths to try

How to use variables in an sql select statement.

Hi, I have seen examples using the update, but nothing using a select statement.
I have four variables I am getting from drop down menus in my JSP I set the user selected items to strings.
How would I create the select statement like this:
.String XName = request.getParameter("UserInputX");
rsInResult = stmtInResult.executeQuery("SELECT ColumxX FROM TableZ WHERE ColumnX = XName")Obviously it tries to read "XName" as a column and of course can't find it, how would I set it up to have it see the Value of XName and not the literal XName.

read this:
rsInResult = stmtInResult.executeQuery("SELECT ColumxX FROM TableZ WHERE ColumnX = '"+XName+"')
{code}
better way is PreparedStatement:
{code}
     // example code to change password to an user in the USERS table
     String newPWD = "my password";
     String user = "luxjava";
     PreparedStatement prepStat;
     String updatePWD = "UPDATE LOGISTIC.USERS "+
                              "SET logistic.users.password = ? "+
                              "WHERE logistic.users.username = ?";
     prepStat = ql.conDb.prepareStatement(updatePWD);
     prepStat.setString(1, newPwd);
     prepStat.setString(2, user);
     int zeroNotFound = prepStat.executeUpdate();
     if (zeroNotFound==0)
          ql.conDb.rollback();
          prepStat.close();
     else
          ql.conDb.commit();
          prepStat.close();
{code}
... use the SQLException to capture errors
