Comparing row values in two different tables

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to compare (and possibly highlight - which I know can be done) row values in two different tables?
I have a ZIP Code column in table A that I want to compare to a ZIP Code column in table B and highlight those ZIP Codes that are present in table B but not in table A etc. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Kenneth

To be able to apply conditional formatting, I must edit the formulas this way.
=IF(ISBLANK(B)," ",IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B,Tableau 2 :: B,1,0))," ",VLOOKUP(B,Tableau 2 :: B,1,0)))
=IF(ISBLANK(B)," ",IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B,Tableau 1 :: B,1,0))," ",VLOOKUP(B,Tableau 1 :: B,1,0)))
I replaces the four empty strings by strings containing one space character.
In the field supposed to contain the text which is not contained I just entered a single space character.

  • How to compare pixel values of two different grayscale images...

    I have two different grayscale images both of much different sizes. One is 46x20 pixels and the other is 2592x1944 pixels. I'm having trouble finding a way to "scan" the smaller image through the larger one so that comparisons between the pixel values can be made. Basically I'm trying to see if anything matches the smaller image in the big image semi-closely. I can access the pixel values of each image but I can't figure out an algorithm to perform the scan. Any help at all would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

    Hi
    recipe:
    1.
    Find all the values for all the pixels in the small image. Some might be similar. Put all those values that are useful into a List called comparisonList.
    2.
    For each scanline in the large image
    For each pixel in the scanline
    is this pixel the same value as a pixel in the comparisonList?
    if so do something
    is the scanline finished?
    if not next pixel
    loop to next scanline
    where scanline is a horizontal line in the big picture.
    my 2c
    hope helps

  • Hi friends, I have a doubt in inserting a field to database table and inserting the same values in two different tables

    I have a mpp screen for a cd library management system (we are practicing on it).
    We have a main screen where a user should enter the enteries and while clicking a add button it should be inserted in a table, Here the problem rises the table name are ztransaction and zstatus.The fields in mpp are cdid,customerid,transaction id,date of issue and duedate.Now after entering all the values on clicking add button it should be inserted to database table ztransaction and the field cdid alone should be inserted both in ztransaction and zstatus.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements; that really helps!
    Here's one wa. Like your 2nd approach, this uses a self-join:
    WITH     got_r_num     AS
         SELECT  ca_id
         ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  ca_id
                                   ,                    fac_id
                             ORDER BY        ca_ver_num
                                 )    AS r_num
         ,     brwr_short_name
         ,     TO_CHAR (sic_code)     AS sic_code
         ,     fac_id
    --     ,     ...     -- Other columns (using TO_CHAR if needed)
         FROM     r_dummy
    ,     unpivoted_data     AS
         SELECT     *
         FROM     got_r_num
         UNPIVOT     INCLUDE NULLS
              (    txt
              FOR  column_name IN ( brwr_short_name          AS 'BRWR_SHORT_NAME'
                            , sic_code               AS 'SIC_CODE'
    --                        , ...     -- Other columns
    SELECT       p.ca_id
    ,       p.fac_id
    ,       p.column_name
    ,       p.txt          AS previous_name
    ,       a.txt          AS after_modification
    FROM       unpivoted_data   p
    JOIN       unpivoted_data   a  ON  p.ca_id     = a.ca_id
                           AND p.fac_id     = a.fac_id
                         AND p.column_name     = a.column_name
                         AND p.r_num      = a.r_num - 1
                         AND p.txt || 'X' != a.txt || 'X'
    ORDER BY  a.r_num
    ;To include other columns, add them in the 2 places where I put the comment "Other columns".
    Ca_ver_num can have any values, not just 2.00 and 3.00.
    This will show cases where a value in one of the columns changed to NULL, or where NULL changed to a value.
    There ought to be a way to do this without a separate sub-query like got_r_num. According to the SQL Language manual, you can put expressions in the UPIVOT ... IN list, but when I tried
    ...     UNPIVOT     INCLUDE NULLS
              (    txt
              FOR  column_name IN ( brwr_short_name          AS 'BRWR_SHORT_NAME'
                                 , TO_CHAR (sic_code)     AS 'SIC_CODE'
              )I got the error "ORA_00917: missing comma" right after TO_CHAR. Perhaps someone else can show how to eliminate one of the sub-queries.

  • Will a sequence return same value for two different sessions?

    Is there a possibility that a sequence will return same value to two different sessions when it is referred exactly at the same instance of time?

    @Justin... Thanks for your insight; indeed, we too feel this shouldn't ever happen and never heard of it either, but there it is. (No, we haven't logged a TAR yet -- whatever that is -- partly because it didn't occur to us and partly because we only recently came across the issue and sensibly want to do some testing before we cry foul.)
    However, the code is pretty straight-forward, much like this (inside a FOR EACH ROW trigger body):
    SELECT <seqname>.NEXTVAL INTO <keyvar> FROM DUAL;
    INSERT INTO <tblname> (<keyfield>, <... some other fields>)
    VALUES(<keyvar>, <... some other values> );
    (where <tblname> is NOT the table on which the trigger is fired). This is the only place where the sequence is ever accessed. The sequence state is way below its limits (either MAXVALUE or <keyfield>/<keyvar> datatype size).
    In this setup, end users sometimes got an out-of-the-blue SQL error to the effect that uniqueness constraint has been violated -- as I said, we used to have a unique index on <keyfield> -- which leads us to assume that the sequence generated a duplicate key (only way for the constraint to be violated, AFAIK). We released the constraint and indeed, using a simple SELECT <keyfield>, COUNT(*) FROM <tblname> GROUP BY <keyfield> HAVING COUNT(*)>1 got us some results.
    Unfortunately, the <tblname> table gets regularly purged by a consumer process so it's hard to trace; now we created a logger trigger, on <tblname> this time, which tracks cases of duplicate <keyfield> inserts... We'll see how it goes.
    @Laurent... winks at the CYCLE thing Our sequence is (needless to say) declared as NOCYCLE and the datatype is large enough to hold MAXVALUE.

    Unfortunatly you didn't mention the expected output. I guess it would be the one line
    "www.testing.com"
    in that case simply join the two tables.
    select *
    from saVideos v
    join saImages i on i.sa_id = v.sa_id and i.picLinks = v.videoLinks
    where v.sa_id=21;If needed then you could change the select list to retrieve only distinct values.
    select unique v.sa_id, v.videolinks
    from saVideos v
    join saImages i on i.sa_id = v.sa_id and i.picLinks = v.videoLinks
    where v.sa_id=21;I usually avoid distinct/unique whereever possible. This requires the database to do a sort and makes the query slow.

  • Selecting data from two different tables.

    Do we need to use join two tables with primary/foreign key while trying to use select statement for getting data from those to table.? If no who can i go about do it.

    872959 wrote:
    If i am using From clause to get data from two different tables, is it necessary that both tables have column of identical data in them.In general, they ought to (or you need to join in a third table that tells you how to map rows from one table to rows of the other table).
    It is not strictly necessary that there be any join condition between tables. If you don't provide a join condition, Oracle has to do a Cartesian product. That means that if there are n rows in one table and m rows in the other, the result set will have n * m rows. It is very rarely a good idea to write queries that do Cartesian products but it does occasionally happen.

The problem is here two different constarints from two different tables. While inserting, it is checking from both the tables whether the parent is exist or not.

    Actually the design is completely incorrect.
    What you say is
    I have
    'foo', 'foo series'
    'foo','foo model'
    'foo',666
    By virtue of table3 referring to both table1 and table2.
    This means you actually need to have 1 (one) table:
    'foo','foo series','foo model', 666
    And the 'problem' disappears.
