Compatible query for outer join..

SELECT e.ename, a.street_address, a.city,a.state,a.post_code
FROM emp e, addr a
WHERE e.empno = a.empno(+)
AND a.state = 'TEXAS'
Which is the compatible ANSI/ISO query for the above mentioned query (A or B)
A)
SELECT e.ename, a.street_address, a.city,a.state,a.post_code
FROM emp e RIGHT OUTER JOIN addr a
ON (e.empno = a.empno)
AND a.state = 'TEXAS'
B)
SELECT e.ename, a.street_address, a.city,a.state,a.post_code
FROM emp e LEFT OUTER JOIN addr a
ON (e.empno = a.empno)
AND a.state = 'TEXAS'
Thanks
Sameer

B)
SELECT e.ename, a.street_address, a.city,a.state,a.post_code
FROM emp e LEFT OUTER JOIN addr a
ON (e.empno = a.empno)
AND a.state = 'TEXAS'

  • Oj syntax for outer join

    Is there a way to make Crystal Reports XI not generate the {oj .....   syntax for outer joins?
    In Crystal Reports 8, you could do a registry change to keep CR from using oj, but that doesn't seem to work on CR XI (or I don't know where to make the registry change)

A: oj syntax for outer join

Outer Join Escape Sequence builds the syntax for ODBC drivers using the outer join syntax in its SQL syntax.
Use Regedit on the problem client machine add following keys:
STEP 1........For Crystal Reports 9: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\9.0\Crystal Reports\Database\QueryBuilder\OuterJoinEscSeq
<<<OR>>>
...................For Crystal Reports 10:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\Database\QueryBuilder\OuterJoinEscSeq
STEP 2........"MSOuterJoinEscSeq"= "insert your ODBC driver name here": List of the drivers that support Microsoft ODBC {oj ..} join escape sequence.
"NoOuterJoinEscSeq"= "insert your ODBC driver name here": List of the drivers that do not support any join escape sequence.
For example...
MSOuterJoinEscSeq = "UVODBC"

  • Need help further tuning view source for outer join

    I have been working on tuning views for use in Discoverer for some time, and I have greatly improved upon what was there, but it is still not where I need it to be. There are 2 views the users join together in Discoverer - one for contract lines, and one for contract flexfields. Run as a 1 to 1 join on contract number, performance is great. However, as soon as I have an outer join on flexfields, the performance is awful. We are talking a difference of under a minute to hours and hours. I have to be able to perform an outer join because there can be contracts without flexfields. Can anyone suggest an alternative method to get the data or further tuning? I will paste both the contract lines and contract flexfields source - I have tuned the flexfields but have done nothing to date with the lines.

    I am afraid slow performance is a built in feature of this database design, not much you can do in queries.
    You could possibly create the views as materialized views and query those instead.
    Quote from the linked article
    But, how does it perform? Miserably, terribly, horribly. A simple "select
    first_name, last_name from person" query is transformed into a 3-table join with
    aggregates and all. Further, if the attributes are "NULLABLE" - that is, there
    might not be a row in OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES for some attributes, you may have to
    outer join instead of just joining which in some cases can remove more optimal
    query plans from consideration.
    Writing queries might look pretty straightforward, but it's impossible to do in
    a performant fashion.

  • Tabular form from query with outer join destroys the universe!

    Well, maybe just my app...
    At any rate, what I have is a query that pulls RISKS for a project and does a reasonable outer join which joins the latest value from a RISK_HISTORY table. Values for RISK are updated and the value for RISK_HISTORY is changed and a new entry added to the RISK_HISTORY table.
    At least that's how it's supposed to be.
    I was able to do this with a report-with-a-form region by adding an extra update process to do a new insert into RISK_HISTORY but it seems that the tabular form is a bit more work.
    Here's the query I'm using:
    select * from(
    select
    r.RISK_SEQ RISK_SEQ_DISPLAY,
    r.RISK_PRIORITY,
    r.RISK_INFO,
    r.RISK_MITIGATION,
    r.ONGOING_FLAG,
    r.RISK_DATE,
    r.WEEK_GROUP_SEQ,
    r.CREATED_ON,
    r.CREATED_BY,
    r.LAST_MODIFIED_ON,
    r.LAST_MODIFIED_BY,
    rh.STATUS,
    row_number() over (partition by rh.risk_seq order by rh.last_modified_on desc) rn
    from RISK r, WEEK_GROUP w, RISK_HISTORY rh
    where w.PROJECT_SEQ=43
    and r.week_group_seq= w.week_group_seq
    and w.week_index=0
    and rh.RISK_SEQ = r.RISK_SEQ
    ) where rn = 1
    Clicking "Add Row" gets me this:
    Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: no data found in tabular form
    Running debug doesn't seem to expose much for me either. Is there a better tact for me to take here?

    Hi Prazy,
    using nvl also didn't solve my problem.Actually my problem is I am having a table a in which I have a column called satus, status has the values like A or I .I have one lookup called MTH_BUYSINESS_FUNCTION in which for lookup_code A I have menaing as Active and for lookup_code I meaning is Inactive.Now in table a for sttaus I have two values one A and one null Now I want to write sql which displayes the meaning for column staus.Result should be Active and null .If I am uisng 1 query which I gave u I am not able to get the 2nd row in my output.If I use 2nd query then I get duplicate rows.
    Thanks ,

  • Query on Outer join

    Hi all,
    I have a doubt, its written below, pls get me solved
    Inner join:
    SELECT D.DEPTNAME, E.EMPNAME
    FROM DEPARTMENT D, EMPLOYEE E
    WHERE trim(E.DEPTNAME) = D.DEPTNAME
    AND E.EMPNAME = 'ABC'
    TO FETCH ALL THE VALUES FROM DEPARTMENT TABLE BUT ONLY MATCHING
    VALUES FROM EMPLOYEE TABLE, I THINK WE MUST DO AN OUTER JOIN ON
    EMPLOYEE TABLE(OPTIONAL TABLE). SO, QUERY MUST BE SOME THING LIKE AS SHOW BELOW [PLS CORRECT IF I AM WRONG]
    SELECT D.DEPTNAME, E.EMPNAME
    FROM DEPARTMENT D, EMPLOYEE E
    WHERE trim(E.DEPTNAME)(+) = D.DEPTNAME
    AND E.EMPNAME(+) = 'ABC'
    BUT This, is giving me "invalid relational operator"...CAN any one guide me with the query, to get the required results.
    please do remember not to use LEFT OUTER JOIN or RIGHT OUTER JOIN, while rewriting the query.
    Explanation to rewritten query is appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vikram Hegde

    Hi,
    I think your first query is enough to give your desired result.
    For your requirement there is no need of outer join.
    In your second query problem is AND E.EMPNAME(+) = 'ABC' You can use (+) only if you are joining two tables. You can not use (+) while you are comparing two values.
    When to use outer join:
    Let say you want to display all records from dept table and there corresponding details from EMP table and few dept_no doesn't have entry in EMP table then
    you can use :
    D.dept_no= E.dept_no(+)

  • Return all Groups for Outer Join + Count + Group By

    I have two tables, TC and XEA. The relationship is one TC to many XEA. TC is a lookup table and has one field, the code field TCSI_CD. XEA has the same code field called BAM_TCSI, which is the joining key, and also another field, the date field, LOAD_DATE.
    I want to generate a report counting the records in XEA and grouping by the code list in TC. When a TC code is not found in XEA, the report must show a count of zero. The SQL shown does not work, as codes not found in XEA are omitted. Thanks in advance for any help.
    SELECT
    TC.TCSI_CD,DECODE(COUNT(XEA.BAM_TCSI),NULL,0,COUNT(XEA.BAM_TCSI))
    FROM
    OB_TCSI_CD TC,
    TEMP_OB_XEA_HIST XEA
    WHERE
    TC.TCSI_CD = XEA.BAM_TCSI(+) AND
    XEA.LOAD_DATE > '1-JUN-2002'
    GROUP BY
    TC.TCSI_CD

    You need to include a (+) after the load_date column. If you omit that, it negates the whole outer join and turns your query into an inner join. Then just a regular count will work, returning 0 for the null values. You also might want to use the to_date function, instead of relying on your session having the matching nls_date_format.
    SELECT   tc.tcsi_cd,
             COUNT (xea.bam_tcsi)
    FROM     ob_tcsi_cd       tc,
             temp_ob_xea_hist xea
    WHERE    tc.tcsi_cd = xea.bam_tcsi (+)
    AND      xea.load_date (+) > TO_DATE ('1-JUN-2002', 'DD-MON-YYYY')
    GROUP BY tc.tcsi_cd

  • Rewrite the query with out joins and group by

    Hi,
    This was an interview question.
    Table Names: bookshelf_checkout

  • Strange result for outer join with rownum

    I'm using rownum in join condition of left outer join query but i'm getting strange results.
    Query is:
    Select * from table1 left outer join table2 on table1.id = table2.id or rownum=1
    Data in table1 is
    id
    7
    8
    9
    Data in table2 is
    id
    10
    11
    12
    Result of above query in Oracle 9.2.0.1 is
    table1.id table2.id
    7 10
    7 11
    7 12
    8 10
    8 11
    8 12
    9 10
    9 11
    9 12
    Even if change is rownum related condition to like rownum >2 even than i'm getting same result.
    In case of inner join, the above condition gives results as required.
    Can anybody explain the result or is it a bug?

    could you please explain why you are using rownum.
    You may have a look at the following link explaining rownum and you should understand why you got this result, keep in mind that you are using an OR condition.

  • Alternative for OUTER Join for use in fast refresh materialized view

    Hi ,
    I have two tables as :
    CREATE TABLE TEST_SANDY1
    COL1 NUMBER
    CREATE TABLE TEST_SANDY2
    COL1 NUMBER,
    COL2 VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)
    Data for the tables are :
    INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
    1);
    INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
    2);
    INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY1 ( COL1 ) VALUES (
    3);
    COMMIT;
    INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
    1, 'a');
    INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
    2, 'b');
    INSERT INTO TEST_SANDY2 ( COL1, COL2 ) VALUES (
    4, 'd');
    COMMIT;
    Now when I run the following select statement :
    select
    b.col1
    from
    test_sandy1 a,
    test_sandy2 b
    where
    b.COL1 = a.COL1(+)
    I get :
    COL1
    1
    2
    4
    I want to build a materialized view to generate the same values but it has to be fast refresh. But since I am using outer join I am unable to create a fast refresh one.
    Can someone suggest an alternate select to create fast refresh materialized view.
    Thanks,
    Sandipan

    The select statement was not fitting my problem , so I'll change it as :
    select
    a.col1, nvl(b.col2, 'DEFAULT')
    from
    test_sandy1 a,
    test_sandy2 b
    where
    b.COL1(+) = a.COL1
    I get :
    COL1     VAL
    1     a
    2     b
    3     DEFAULT
    How do I this ?

  • Newbie: Syntax for OUTER joins

    Hello there,
    I'm trying to write some very simple ANSI outer joins using quest's TOAD software but I keep running into syntax errors.
    Take the following classic text book example
    Find all customers who have not placed an order
    SELECT c.customerid, o.orderid
    FROM customers c
    LEFT OUTER JOIN orders o
    ON c.customerid = o.customerid
    WHERE o.orderid IS NULL
    alternative syntax supported by SQL Server
    SELECT c.customerid, o.orderid
    FROM customers c, orders o
    WHERE c.customerid *= o.customerid AND o.orderid IS NULL
    How do you write the above style of statements. Can you write RIGHT JOIN and FULL JOIN statements? What about CROSS JOIN statements
    Cheers,
    Colin Rippey

    SELECT c.customerid, o.orderid
    FROM customers c, orders o

  • Performance for outer join

    Hello expert,
    following statement is left outer join or right outer join? and comparing with statement " from PCM RIGHT OUTER JOIN R ON PCM.practice_state_code = R.practice_state_code ", whose performance is better? Appreciate very much.
    PCM.practice_state_code (+) = R.practice_state_code

    PCM.practice_state_code (+) = R.practice_state_codeNeither. It's the old outer join notation. Using that syntax, the order in which you put the tables in the FROM clause doesn't matter.
    and comparing with statement " from PCM RIGHT OUTER JOIN R ON PCM.practice_state_code = R.practice_state_code ", whose performance is better? They're equal.

  • Query Plan Question for Outer Join

    I have the following join query:
    select unique ep.ACT_UID,
    ep.SE_REQ_TS,
    sr.SERVICE_NM
    from
    eaisvcs.Service_requests sr,
    eaisvcs.SERVICE_EPISODE ep
    where
    ep.ACT_UID = sr.ACT_UID;
    I have an index on the act_uid in both tables, and the statistics are up-to-date. There are about 3.2 million rows in each table. 10% of the act_uid's that are in the ep table that do not have a match in the sr table. Other than that, most id's match up between the tables.
    Here is the query plan:
    ID PARENT_ID OPERATION OPTIONS
    0 SELECT STATEMENT
    1 0 SORT UNIQUE
    2 1 MERGE JOIN
    3 2 SORT JOIN
    4 3 TABLE ACCESS FULL
    5 2 SORT JOIN
    6 5 TABLE ACCESS FULL
    I cannot figure out why a table scan is being performed every time on both tables. The Act_UID is the PK in the ep table. There is a composite index (act_uid, sev_seq_no) in the sr table. the act_id is a varchar2 column in both tables. The sev_seq_no column is numeric.
    Any ideas or insights about this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The plan can be good.
    Oracle choose a full table scan for these reason too:
    - sr.SERVICE_NM is not a part of the index and so a full table scan is less expensive. If you will add this field to your composite index Oracle will probably take this new index.
    Bye, Aron
