Compare data and return the different columns

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to compare the data in two tables and return only the columns and data where there is a difference.
I have a compare script which checks every column in the two tables against each other, but as there are 200 columns in the tables it is tricky to see which column has a difference.
So in my result set if coulum N is the differenct I would only want to return column N from both tables in the result set.
I hope that this all makes sense?.

Easiest way is to use tablediff utility for checking difference between tables

  • SQL statement to compare dates and return boolean (yes/no)

    I am looking for a SQL statement that can compare 2 dates and return a boolean. 1 (yes) if date 1 is => date2-threshold or 0 (No) if date < date2-threshold
    Ie
    date1=20130603
    threshold=2 days
    date2=sysdate-threshold
    if [ 20130603 > sysdate-$threshold ]
    then
    return 1
    else
    return 0
    fi
    Thanks to all that answer.

    Assumming I want to get "date1" from some other table instead of from
    dual will this syntax be valid
    I was going to invoke another SQLPLUS from my shell script and pass it in
    as a variable but if I can do it on one shot it would be better.
    In addition, if "no rows" are found for date1 from the below query, would
    I need code to handle that
    with xx as
        select TO_DATE(last_date','yyyymmdd') date1, from dba_audit_table where ...;
         select TO_DATE('20130603','yyyymmdd') date1, sysdate date2  from dual;

  • Compare Dates and select the max date ?

    Hello,
    I am trying to write a script and will compare the dates in " eff_startdt" and give me the lastest date at the outcome.
    I have data that some service locations have more than one contract date and I need to get the latest dated conract dates to work on the data but I tried many things I am always getting errors. When I run the script below I get " missing expression" error. I dont' see anything missing.
    also somehow Max() is keep giving me errors when I do something like [  ON service_locs = vmeterid WHERE SERVICE_LOCS = SERVICE_LOCS AND EFF_STARTDT = MAX(EFF_STARTDT)  ]
    Can someone pls give me advice on this. Thanks
    SELECT DISTINCT Broker, customer_name, service_locs, fee_kwh, qtr_monthly, eff_startdt, eff_enddt

    Hi,
    I will try to explain on my example. I have got a table:
    DESC SOLD_ITEMS;
    Name                                    Value NULL? Type
    COMPONENT                                          VARCHAR2(255)
    SUBCOMPONENT                                       VARCHAR2(255)

    MONTH                                              NUMBER(2)
    DAY                                                NUMBER(2)
    DEFECTS                                            NUMBER(10)
    DESCRIPTION                                        VARCHAR2(200)
    SALE_DATE                                          DATE
    COMP_ID                                            NUMBERI have insert example data into my table:
    select component, subcomponent, sale_date,comp_id
      2  from sold_items;
    COMPONENT       SUBCOMPONENT    SALE_DAT    COMP_ID                            
    graph           bar             06/04/03          1                            
    graph           bar             06/04/01          2                            
    search          user search     06/04/02          3

    graph           bar             06/05/02          8                            
    graph           bar             06/05/02          9
    As you can see there are a few components and subcomponents duplicated with different date and comp_id value.
    I want to get component and subcomponent combination with latest date.
    SELECT COMPONENT, SUBCOMPONENT, MAX(SALE_DATE)
      2  FROM SOLD_ITEMS
      3* GROUP BY COMPONENT, SUBCOMPONENT;
    Efect:
    COMPONENT       SUBCOMPONENT    MAX(SALE                                       
    graph           bar             06/05/02                                       
    search          user search     06/04/02                                       
    search          product search  06/03/20
    For your purpose I will do it using join and subquery. Maybe it will help you resolve your problem:
    SELECT COMPONENT, SUBCOMPONENT, SALE_DATE, RANK
      2  FROM (SELECT T1.COMPONENT, T1.SUBCOMPONENT, T2.SALE_DATE,
      3          ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY T1.COMPONENT, T2.SUBCOMPONENT ORDER BY T2.SALE_DATE DESC) AS ROW
      4          FROM SOLD_ITEMS T1, SOLD_ITEMS T2
      5          WHERE T1.COMP_ID = T2.COMP_ID)
      6* WHERE ROW = 1;
    I joined the same table but it act as two different tables inside subquery. It will group values (partition by statement) and order result descending using t2.sale_date column. As you can see columns are returned from both tables. If you would like to add some conditions, you can do it after WHERE ROW=1 code.
    Results:
    COMPONENT       SUBCOMPONENT    SALE_DAT       RANK                            
    graph           bar             06/05/02          1                            
    search          product search  06/03/20          1                            
    search          user search     06/04/02          1Hope this help you

  • How to Read the one Source Column data and Display the Results

    Hi All,
         I have one PR_ProjectType Column in my Mastertable,Based on that Column we need to reed the column data and Display the Results
    Ex:
    Pr_ProjectType
    AD,AM
    AD
    AM
    AD,AM,TS,CS.OT,TS
    AD,AM          
    like that data will come now we need 1. Ad,AM then same we need 2. AD also same we need 3. AM also we need
    4.AD,AM,TS,CS.OT,TS in this string we need AD,AM  only.
    this logic we need we have thousand of data in the table.Please help this is urgent issue
    vasu

    Hi Vasu,
    Based on your description, you want to eliminate the substrings (eliminated by comma) that are not AD or AM in each value of the column. Personally, I don’t think this can be done by just using an expression in the Derived Column. To achieve your goal, here
    are two approaches for your reference:
    Method 1: On the query level. Replace the target substrings with different integer characters, and create a function to eliminate non-numeric characters, then replace the integer characters with the corresponding substrings. The statements
    for the custom function is as follows:
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetNumeric
    (@strAlphaNumeric VARCHAR(256))
    RETURNS VARCHAR(256)
    AS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE @intAlpha INT
    SET @intAlpha = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', @strAlphaNumeric)
    BEGIN
    WHILE @intAlpha > 0
    BEGIN
    SET @strAlphaNumeric = STUFF(@strAlphaNumeric, @intAlpha, 1, '' )
    SET @intAlpha = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', @strAlphaNumeric )
    END
    END
    RETURN ISNULL(@strAlphaNumeric,0)
    END
    GO
    The SQL commands used in the OLE DB Source is like:
    SELECT
    ID, REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(dbo.udf_GetNumeric(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE([ProjectType],'AD,',1),'AM,',2),'AD',3),'AM',4)),4,'AM'),3,'AD'),2,'AM,'),1,'AD,')
    FROM MyTable
    Method 2: Using a Script Component. Add a Derived Column Transform to replace the target substrings as method 1, use Regex in script to remove all non-numeric characters from the string, add another Derived Column to replace the integer
    characters to the corresponding substring. The script is as follows:
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
    Row.OutProjectType= Regex.Replace(Row.ProjectType, "[^.0-9]", "");

  • Function module for comparing dates and times

    Hi,
    I have a date and time stamp in one filed for example as below:
    20070125183045
    (the first 8 are date in YYYYMMDD format, the next 6 is time in HHMMSS format). Now I want to compare this value to another such value in terms of date and time. First I want to compare dates and then times. Do you know any function module that can serve this purpose?
    Thanks very much!

    You can compare these using the function module DURATION_DETERMINE.  This fuction will give you the difference, and it can be in a view different units, such as the difference in days, months, etc.
    Funciton module takes in Start date and time and end date and time.

  • How to disable a single cell in a table (and not the whole column)

    Hi there,
    I've got a webdynpro table with a few columns, rows can be created dynamically through a button in the table toolbar.
    Depending on the value of a certain cell I have to disable another cell (in the same row).
    I tried to manipulate the view in the modifyview but no joy. I also tried to manipulate the attribute property through the coding below:
      DATA lv_knttp TYPE knttp.
      lo_nd_kostl = wd_context->path_get_node( path = `MULTIVALUES.KOSTL` ).
      lo_el_kostl = lo_nd_kostl->get_element( ).
      lo_el_kostl->set_attribute_property(
      attribute_name = 'LTEXT'
              property       = lo_el_kostl->e_property-enabled
              value          = ''
    but it disables the whole column!!!! I just need the cell to be disabled (I thought the code above, through the lead selection, would affect a certain cell only - but I was wrong).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    using cell variants you can do this.,
    check this article: [Cell Variants in WDA|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/WebDynproforABAPCellVariants]
    Instead of binding the read only property of table as a whole , just bind the read only property of column group of table., You can do this bu drill down the table and select the required column and bind the read only column.,
    then In onAction Event of button .,
    loop the table, if condition satisfied set the read only property to true else false.,!!
    hope this helps u.,
    Thanks & regards,

  • Copy control for dates and disable the input

    Hi All,
    I have the following problem: I'm trying to copy dates in a follow-up order from the source order (which works fine by implementing the CRM_COPY_BADY method DATES) and disable the input of the copied dates in the follow-up order (which doesn't work).
    In the change-parameter CT_INPUT_FIELDS you can specify the fields which have to be copied and furthermore you can control the modifiability of the field in the follow-up order via the parameter CHANGEABLE (e.g. 'A' means field can not be changed). This technique is the same in all methods of the copy BADI.
    Unfortunately it doesn't work for the dates. As I said already, the date is copied but can be changed by the user in the follow-up order.
    Anybody an idea?
    Thanks and best regards, Lutz

    Dear John,
          Actually, I have tried with copy requirement 2.However, it works for copying a different customer with the same sales area as original. Yes, I may need to ask developer to solve my solution. But I would like to keep it to be the last choice. I tried to search "How to copy document between inter-company businees"; but the I still not get what my custome's want.  Anyways, thank you very much for sharing idea.

  • How to compare date and time together

  • I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files.

    I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times Since upgrading to iTunes 11 and Windows 8. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files. Three times. Beginning to lose my temper. Advice? Suggestions? Could the fact that my original library is located on a network drive have anything to do with it? Thanks for your help, all.

    Repair security permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7/8 shouldn't be too different.
    Repeat for the media folder if it isn't a subfolder of the iTunes folder.

  • The key columns of the country measure group attribute do not match in either number or data types to the key columns of the source attribute

    I have a country dimension which is used in 5 cubes. Now I want to change 'key column' property of the country attribute. Whenever I do this, I get an error as "The key columns of the country measure group attribute do not match in either number or
    data types to the key columns of the source attribute". I dont understand what this error is about.
    Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.
    -Regards,
    Raj Patil

    sounds like you need to verify your dimensional usage tab to verify the relationships between dim and fact on the measure group. 
    Hi Talktorajpatil,
    As Jon said, you can verify the relationships between dim and fact on the measure group on the dimensional usage tab. Use this section to define how you "join" your measure groups to your dimensions.  There may be a Dimension-Measure Group relationship
    that is defined using the wrong attributes and you'll need to select the correct attributes to link the Dimensions to the measure groups. Here are some similar thread for your reference.

  • Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

    Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
    Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
    Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following:  Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
    Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
    Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
    Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date.  This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.
