Comparing dates in select query.

Hi Experts,
I need to select data from one table such that the date field of the table should be either today's date or earlier date.
How can I write such comparison statement in select query.

hi,
select * from <your_table>
where <date_field> <= sy-datum.
endselect .

Regarding Data Base Select Query

Hi All,
          I want to extract the data from data base into my internal table
          by not giving the exact value but the pattern.
          Ex) I want to select the vendor starting with patter '12*'
                from LFA table in my internal table.
          Which select Query I should use for getting the
          Vendor No. starting with pattern '12*' ?.
          Points will be rewaded.
          Thanks in Advance.

Hi jitendra,
1. simple
2.
select * from lfa1
into table lfa1
where lifnr like '12%'.

Order mismatch in selected data using Select query

Hello Experts,
We are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6. I came across a select query on a custom table, which gives different order of data from 4.6C to ECC6. Data (no. of records) is same in both the servers but order is different. Table doesn't have indexes in either 4.6C or ECC6. What would be the cause for order change?
Further, in 4,6C, ECC6 and data bases order of the data is totally different. Select query have some conditions in where clause with select options, but in both the cases (4.6C and ECC6) I am not passing any data from the selection screen so am getting entire data from the data base.
Thanks in advance
Phalani

From the SAP service market place I found that
1. Unless we use SORT or ORDER BY clause the order of the data is not in our control.
2. In 4.6C, two same select queries never give the result in the same order, if the primary key contains character fields.
Thanks for your help.

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
FROM VMETER
INNER JOIN BROKER_DATA
ON service_locs = vmeterid WHERE SERVICE_LOCS = SERVICE_LOCS AND (SELECT MAX(EFF_STARTDT) FROM VMETER)

Hi,
I will try to explain on my example. I have got a table:
DESC SOLD_ITEMS;

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             06/05/02          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

Comparing string in select query

Hi,
select single *
 from mara
 where matnr = wa-matnr.
Here matnr is char18. Can we compare string like this?
When wa-matnr is in lower case it is setting sy-subrc = 4, even though the matnr exists in mara. When converted to upper case and used it is setting sy-subrc = 0.
Is there any other solution for the problem? I have checked out with matnr's conversion routine. It is also not working.

just try dat way...
ex...
data:wa_matnr like mara-matnr.
data:wa_matnr1 like mara-matnr.
data: gv_matnr like mara-matnr.
wa_matnr = 'comptest'.
CALL FUNCTION 'TERM_TRANSLATE_TO_UPPER_CASE'
EXPORTING
 LANGU = SY-LANGU
 TEXT = wa_matnr
IMPORTING
 TEXT_UC = wa_matnr1
EXCEPTIONS
NO_LOCALE_AVAILABLE = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
select single matnr
from mara into gv_matnr
where matnr = wa_matnr or matnr = wa_matnr1.
write : gv_matnr.

How to compare dates in a select query in open sql

Hi
 How can I retrieve data pertaining to a specified date using a select query.
I have inserted date using the following code:
String dateString = "2009-03-11";
java.sql.Date date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(dateString);
PreparedStatement stmt =con.prepareStatement("insert into DATEACCESS"
 + "(DATETEST)"
 + "values (?)");
stmt.setDate(1,date);
stmt.executeUpdate();
How can I pass this in a select query,the below mentioned query did not fetch me any results.
Select * from DATEACCESS where DATETEST='2009-03-11'

Hi
Has ur date problem resolved ?
If not resolved u can do the following
As u already have sql date today declared . You want to get the data depending on that date
As ur query is
if( today != null)
String query2 = select * from DATEACCESS where DATETEST<= ?
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(query2);
ps.setDate(1,today)
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
While(rs.next)
 ////// Here u will get data from query u needed ///
If this also does not work just print the date and check in which format is it returning u .

In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

The query is re-issued as a flashback query and the client process can continue to fetch from the cursor. This is described in the Net Services Administrators Guide, the section on Transparent Application Failover.

Select query taking too much time to fetch data from pool table a005

Dear all,
I am using 2 pool table a005 and a006 in my program. I am using select query to fetch data from these table. i.e. example is mentioned below.
select * from a005 into table t_a005 for all entries in it_itab
                   where vkorg in s_vkorg
                   and     matnr in s_matnr
                   and     aplp   in s_aplp
                   and     kmunh = it_itab-kmunh.
here i can't create index also as tables are pool table...If there is any solutions , than please help me for same..
Thanks ,

it would be helpful to know what other fields are in the internal table you are using for the FOR ALL ENTRIES.
In general, you should code the order of your fields in the select in the same order as they appear in the database. If you do not have the top key field, then the entire database is read. If it's large then it's going to take a lot of time. The more key fields from the beginning of the structure that you can supply at faster the retrieval.

Can I retrieve data from a multiple select query?

I recently have been able to consolidate many queries into one large one, or into large compound queries. I found an instance where I am using a select query in a for loop that may execute up to 400 times. I tried building a huge compound query, and using DB Tools Execute Query vi, followed by the DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data vi. The query executes at the database without an error, but the Fetch Recordset Data vi only returns the first instance. Is there a way to retrieve all the data without having to send up to 400 separate select queries?

Sorry I didn't replt earlier, I was on vacation. The query I am using is to check serial numbers, and determine if they are all valid. The programs purpose is to define a serial number to a pre-existing part number. Our company makes inclinometers and accelerometers, and this entire series of LabVIEW programs is designed to automate the calibration and testing of these units. The part number definitions can contain 3 or 4 hundred parameters, so the database itself consistes of 44 tables with potentially several hundred columns per table. It is designed to not only provide definitions to every part number, but also to store all potential raw unit data to be calculated and formed into a report at any time. The logistics of getting that much data in and out of the database have forced me to do things more effeciently. The actual query in question is to take each serial number either manually entered, or automatically picked, and see if they already exist with the part number they are being defined as. If there are any duplicates, then the program will alert the operator that serial numbers x, y, and z for instance have already been asigned as the part number in question. Currently I run a simple query once for each serial number. This works, but there may be 200 serial numbers assigned. Also the serial numbers can contain upper or lower case letters. By making all the serial number letters into capitals, then into lower case, it could mean up to 400 individual queries going out over the LAN. This is a bandwidth hog, and time consuming. I started experimenting with compound queries. The actual query used is below.
SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000005';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000006';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000007';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000008';SELECT SERIALNO FROM "maintable" WHERE PARTNO = '475196-001' AND SERIALNO = '3000009'
When I execute this query, SQL Server 2000 has no problem with it, but the DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data vi only returns the first match. I think my answer may lie with OR statements. Rather than sending what amounts to potentially dozens of individual queries, I should be able to chain them into one query with a lot of OR statements. As long as the OR statement is not an exclusive OR statement, I think it should work. I haven't tried it yet, and it may take some time to get the syntax right. The query is built in a for loop with the number of iterations equal to the number of serial numbers being defined. Once I get this working I will alter it to include both upper and lower case letters that can be included in the query. Any suggestiona of how the query should be structured would be most helpful, or another way to achieve what I am trying to accomplish.

Select query to read data from a view

Hi friends,
We have been using a query to read data from a custom view which used to work perfectly. Now the program sits at that select query forever. We are able to extract same data from se16. Not sure what could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Dev
Have a look at the Table Index for the tables involved in the View... I think there is some change in the Indexes.. (Add / Remove / Change)
Thanks

Hi Shiva,
I am using two more select queries with the same manner ....
here are the other two select query :
***************1************************
SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
 FROM ztftelpt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
 ON ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
 AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
 AND ztfzberepcntr = ztftelptrprctr
 WHERE rldnr = c_telstra_projects
 AND rrcty = c_actual
 AND rvers = c_ver_001
 AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
 AND racct = st_input-saknr
 AND ryear = st_input-gjahr
 and rzzlstar in r_lstar
 AND rpmax = c_max_period.
and the second one is
*************************2************************
SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
 FROM ztftelnt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
 ON ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
 AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
 AND ztfzberepcntr = ztftelntrprctr
 WHERE rldnr = c_telstra_networks
 AND rrcty = c_actual
 AND rvers = c_ver_001
 AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
 AND racct = st_input-saknr
 AND ryear = st_input-gjahr
 and rzzlstar in r_lstar
 AND rpmax = c_max_period.
for both the above table program is taking very less time .... although both the table used in above queries have similar amount of data. And i can not remove the APPENDING CORRESPONDING. because i have to append the data after fetching from the tables. if i will not use it will delete all the data fetched earlier.
Thanks on advanced......
