Compounding query

hi
I have created a infoobject(zcomp), It has an attribute which has text values.
Zcomp has a compounding characteristic(Ocomp_code),
I added zcomp into a cube, in this cube, zcomp display as 0000234322. but in query level
it display like 0010/234322. where 0010 is company code. but the texts of 234322 is not displayed.
I think it may happen while adding compounding characteristics, so I want to get texts for Zcomp.
help me

hi,
right click the char in the query and display as Name else in the display option of infoobject definition choose display as text.

Read consistency with compound query

Does read consistency work for the whole compound query or does it work only for every single query in the compound query ?
I mean if I issue the following statement
select * from TABLE
union all
select * from TABLE
if in the mean time an update has taken place on the table by an other session and also a commit is it possible that the second part of the union query to see that update ?
Thanks

My real life problem is the following:
I have a movements table and an online_stoc table, I keep the online_stoc table sincronized with the movements table using a trigger on the movements table.
When I issue a statement
select item, sum(qta_din), sum(qta_sta)
from
select item, sum(qta) qta_din, 0 qta_sta
from movements
group by item
union all
select item, 0 qta_din, qta qta_sta
from online_stoc
group by item
having sum(qta_din) <> sum(qta_sta)
it should not give anny rows back and I almost always see this correct result.
But I experienced one time that this query gave back a line and after a checking I saw that during the query execution time there was an insert transaction on the table movements that commited during te query.
So I don't understand how was it possible.
Thanks

Need help with compound query

I have a group of four tables that I need to query. Here are the 4 tables:
 
CREATE TABLE "APP_ATS"."BOX_INFORMATION" 
( "REC_COUNT_PK" NUMBER(7,0), 
 "BOX_ID" NUMBER(5,0), 
 "CUSTODIAN_SAP_NUMBER" VARCHAR2(5), 
 "FACILITY_KEY_FK" NUMBER(3,0), 
 CONSTRAINT "APP_ATS__BOX_INFORMATION__PK" PRIMARY KEY ("REC_COUNT_PK"), 
 CONSTRAINT "APP_ATS__BOX_INFO__FACIL__FK" FOREIGN KEY ("FACILITY_KEY_FK") 
 REFERENCES "APP_ATS"."FACILITY_DATA" ("FACILITY_KEY_PK") ENABLE) 
 
CREATE TABLE "APP_ATS"."FACILITY_DATA" 
( "FACILITY_KEY_PK" NUMBER(3,0), 
 "FACILITY_NAME" VARCHAR2(100), 
 CONSTRAINT "APP_ATS__FACILITY_DATA__PK" PRIMARY KEY ("FACILITY_KEY_PK")) 
 
CREATE TABLE "APP_ATS"."EMP_WORK_INFO" 
( "EMPLOYEE_NUMBER" varchar2(5), 
 "LAST_NAME" varchar2(50), 
 "PREFERRED_NAME" varchar2(50)) 
 
CREATE TABLE "APP_ATS"."BOX_CONTENT_GROUP_INFORMATION" 
( "CONTENT_KEY_PK" NUMBER(6,0), 
 "REC_COUNT_FK" NUMBER(7,0), 
 "BOX_ID_FK" NUMBER(5,0), 
 "GROUP_DESCRIPTION" VARCHAR2(1999 BYTE), 
 "GROUP_COUNTER" NUMBER(4,0), 
 CONSTRAINT "APP_ATS__BOX_CONT_GRP_INFO__PK" PRIMARY KEY ("CONTENT_KEY_PK"), 
 CONSTRAINT "APP_ATS__BX_C_G_INF__BX_ID__FK" FOREIGN KEY ("REC_COUNT_FK") 
 REFERENCES "APP_ATS"."BOX_INFORMATION" ("REC_COUNT_PK") ENABLE) 
 
If the box_information table has these records: 
1,1,'00001',1 
2,4,'00002',1 
3,2,'00003',2 
 
The facility_data table has these records: 
1,'County Records' 
2,'DataStor' 
 
The Emp_Work_Info table has: 
'00001','Jones','Fred' 
'00002','Grobnik','Igor' 
'00003','Marley','Bob' 
 
The box_content_group_information has: 
1,1,1,'first box group 1',1 
2,1,1,'first box group 2',2 
3,2,4,'fourth box group 1',1 
4,3,2,'second box group 1',1 
 
I need a query that returns a record set that looks like this: 
BoxID,Preferred_Name,last_name,facility_name,descriptions 
1,Fred,Jones,County Records,first box group 1|-|first box group 2 
2,Bob,Marley,DataStor,second box group 1 
4,Igor,Grobnik,County Records,fourth box group 1 
 
Since the first 3 tables have a 1 to 1 relationship I can get that part working fine with this: 
 
select Box_ID, EMDS_PREFERRED_NAME, EMDS_LAST_NAME, FACILITY_NAME 
FROM App_ATS.Facility_Data, App_ATS.Box_Information, EMP_WORK_INFO 
WHERE App_ATS.Facility_Data.Facility_key_PK = App_ATS.Box_Information.Facility_key_fk 
AND App_ATS.Box_Information.CUSTODIAN_SAP_NUMBER = EMP_WORK_INFO.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER; 
 
The problem is that for each box_information row I may have multiple BOX_CONTENT_GROUP_INFORMATION rows and I need the record set to
return only one row per box_information row. 
 
I found a function that concatenates a single field from multiple rows into a single string but it isn't designed to group on any particular field so if I use it each record has all of the descriptions instead of only those for that box_ID. The function: 
 
create or replace function glue 
( p_cursor sys_refcursor, 
p_delimiter varchar2 := '|-|') 
return varchar2 
is 
l_value varchar2(32000); 
l_result varchar2(32000); 
begin 
loop 
fetch p_cursor into l_value; 
exit when p_cursor%notfound; 
if l_result is not null then 
l_result := l_result || p_delimiter; 
end if; 
l_result := l_result || l_value; 
end loop; 
return l_result; 
end glue; 
 
**It was called join but I like glue better, join is a key word. Thanks to whomsoever came up with it. 
 
Please help me figure out how to do this! 

Right. Listing the table creation scripts, each row of data for each table and then the snapshot of what I expect isn't enough, it has to be an actual set of insert statements? Here they are then:
Insert into app_ats.box_information (REC_COUNT_PK, BOX_ID, CUSTODIAN_SAP_NUMBER, FACILITY_KEY_FK) Values (1,1,'00001',1);
Insert into app_ats.box_information (REC_COUNT_PK, BOX_ID, CUSTODIAN_SAP_NUMBER, FACILITY_KEY_FK) Values (2,4,'00002',1);
Insert into app_ats.box_information (REC_COUNT_PK, BOX_ID, CUSTODIAN_SAP_NUMBER, FACILITY_KEY_FK) Values (3,2,'00003',2);
Insert into app_ats.facility_data (FACILITY_KEY_PK, FACILITY_NAME) values (1,'County Records');
Insert into app_ats.facility_data (FACILITY_KEY_PK, FACILITY_NAME) values (2,'DataStor');
Insert into app_ats.Emp_Work_Info (EMPLOYEE_NUMBER, LAST_NAME, PREFERRED_NAME) values ('00001','Jones','Fred');
Insert into app_ats.Emp_Work_Info (EMPLOYEE_NUMBER, LAST_NAME, PREFERRED_NAME) values ('00002','Grobnik','Igor');
Insert into app_ats.Emp_Work_Info (EMPLOYEE_NUMBER, LAST_NAME, PREFERRED_NAME) values ('00003','Marley','Bob');
Insert into app_ats.box_content_group_information (CONTENT_KEY_PK, REC_COUNT_FK, BOX_ID_FK, GROUP_DESCRIPTION, GROUP_COUNTER) values (1,1,1,'first box group 1',1);
Insert into app_ats.box_content_group_information (CONTENT_KEY_PK, REC_COUNT_FK, BOX_ID_FK, GROUP_DESCRIPTION, GROUP_COUNTER) values (2,1,1,'first box group 2',2);
Insert into app_ats.box_content_group_information (CONTENT_KEY_PK, REC_COUNT_FK, BOX_ID_FK, GROUP_DESCRIPTION, GROUP_COUNTER) values (3,2,4,'fourth box group 1',1);
Insert into app_ats.box_content_group_information (CONTENT_KEY_PK, REC_COUNT_FK, BOX_ID_FK, GROUP_DESCRIPTION, GROUP_COUNTER) values (4,3,2,'second box group 1',1);
There you go! Now everyone has the full set of scripts as well as the expected output. I anxiously await your brilliant solution.

Compound vs Simple query

This is a mystery that we hope someone can help us better understand.
We are seeing a single compound query take much longer than a series of individual queries.
The filter of the compound query is of this form:
(|(uniquemember=[dn1])(uniquemember=[dn2])(uniquemember=[dn3])...(uniquemember=[dnN]))
The series of compound queries are conducted in a for-loop and the filter is of the form:
(uniquemember=[dn1])
(uniquemember=[dn2])
(uniquemember=[dn3])
(uniquemember=[dnN])
Run     Compound Query (milliseconds)

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.

Can Oracle pick an index hint for an index that's inside of a sub query?

I have a query like the following:
Select /*INDEX(Table1 TABLE1_IDX) INDEX(Table3 Table3_IDX) */
from (select /*INDEX(Table1 TABLE1_IDX) */
T1.col1,t1.col2,...
from Table1 T1
Join Table2 T2
ON T1.col1 = T2.col1
T1.col2 = T2.col2) Tsub
Right Outer Join Table3 T3
ON T3.col1 = Tsub.col1
T3.col2 = Tsub.col2
Will Oracle pick up and use the index for Table1 in the join to Table3 even though it's being refernced from with in a sub-select statement? Will it know to use the index for the 'Tsub' alias to join it to Table3?

"Hints apply only to the optimization of the block of a statement in which they appear. A statement block is any one of the following statements or parts of statements:
A simple SELECT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement
A parent statement or subquery of a complex statement
A part of a compound query"
however, your outer query has NOTHING named "table1". hints must use the ALIAS (if one is given), so your outer hint for table1_idx should reference "TSUB".
but even more to the point, once the subquery is complete, you'll outer-join table3 to it, which doesn't need an index on tsub.

IN clause with ORDER BY clause in sub-queries

Hello,
We generate dynamic queries with the following statement pattern (could be many union/intersect sub-queries):
select my_col
from my_table
where my_col IN
select table_2.my_col , x_col from table_2 where x_col > 10
UNION
select table_3.my_col , y_col from table_3 where y_col > 20
INTERSECT
select table_4.my_col , z_col from table_4 where z_col is between 30 and 50
I know that I can do just the sub-queries w/ an ORDER BY clause as follows (as long as the 2nd parameter in the select stmts are of the same type):
select table_2.my_col , x_col from table_2 where x_col > 10
UNION
select table_3.my_col , y_col from table_3 where y_col > 20
INTERSECT
select table_4.my_col , z_col from table_4 where z_col is between 30 and 50
order by 2 desc
But my questions are:
1. What is (if there is) the syntax that will ensure that the result set order will be that of the ordering of the sub-queries?
Or does my SQL stmt have to have syntactically (but not semantically) change to achieve this?
Thanks,
Jim

just a minor doubt - I think it is not officially supported to have separate ORDER BYs in a compound query with set operators (e.g. UNION / UNION ALL subsets). Of course one could use inline views with NO_MERGE + NO_ELIMINATE_OBY hints, but I think the only officially supported approach is to use a single, final ORDER BY (that needs to use positional notation as far as I remember).
Randolf,
You're right, of course, about the separate "order by" clauses.
Interestingly the following type of thing does work though (in 10.2.0.3, at least):
with v1 as (
    select * from t1 where col1 = 'ABC' order by col2
v2 as (
    select * from t1 where col1 = 'DEF' order by col2
select * from v1
union all
select * from v2
;A quick check the execution plan suggsts that Oracle appears to be convering this to the following - even though its technically not acceptable in normal circumstances:
select * from t1 where col1 = 'ABC' order by col2
union all
select * from t1 where col1 = 'DEF' order by col2

Concatenation and Union all

Hi,
From Oracle 9i performance guide:
"Concatenation is useful for statements with different conditions combined with an OR clause"
"If a query contains a WHERE clause with multiple conditions combined with OR operators, then the optimizer transforms it into an equivalent compound query that uses the UNION ALL set operator, if this makes the query execute more efficiently"
Can anyone tell me when concatenation is better than union and vice versa?

Can anyone tell me when concatenation is better than union and vice versa?Concatenation is not exactly the same as UNION ALL (the ALL is important, by the way), as it has to eliminate repetitions of data. You may rewrite an 'OR' query as a UNION ALL, concatenation is simply Oracle's strategy for doing this. There's an example on my blog which might help you understand the issues: http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2007/02/26/subquery-with-or/

Issue with compounding characteristics in the query

Hello guyz
I have an issue with 2 chars one compounding the other in the query. The 2 chars are : Action Type and Action Reason in HR. Action type is the compounding char. for action reason.
For example: we have
Action Type    Action Reason
01                        A1
01                        A2
02                        A1
02                        A2
Now I want to restrict a key figure based on specific action reasons and types. But when I pick AT: 01, AR: A1, it selects AT: 02, AR: A1. The reason why it does this is because, there are 2 A1s under action reason and it picks the one at the end (ie last record with value A1 in the table)
But my compounding works when i create variables for the same and have them as user entry variables.
My question: How do i pick specific action reasons for specific action types (for restricting key figures) in the above example?
Thanks.

Well.. thank you Ashish for your help so far.
Now, these Chars. are coming directly from a data source to the cube. From my previous example again, the thing that i dont understand is:
When i try restrict the KF with AR, on the left hand side of the pop up window i see:
       AR
[01, A1] --> Very good
[01, A2] --> Good
[02, A3[ --> OK
[02, A4] --> Bad
[02, A1] --> Very Bad
But, when i drag 'A1' (Very Good) to restrict on the KF on the right hand side of the window, I only get:
A1 (Very good), what i want to drag is [01, A1] --> very good.. action type value should come along with action reason.. right??
when i save the query, logout and log back in, I see:
A1 (Very Bad)
Question: Why dosen't Action type char come along with action reason on the right hand side.. its a compounding char right?? So it should determine what value action reason takes?
Any idea??

Selection varuable on Compounded Info Object in Query Designer

Hi,
To identify the inconsistencies inconsistencies in the source system abt the description
I am Text Description of Application Status Source System dependent
Application Status is compounded on Source System....
There will be 3 values for Application Status
N - New
R - Renewal in Progress
C - Complete
And i had 12 Different source Systems
As per my requirment i made selection variable on Application Status in the Query..So if the user want to see all ther complete application he has to select 12 different values (App Status is compounded on Source System)
Is there any way that i can fix this in query designer so that user will have a option to select either of 3 Values (N,R,C)
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, it is simple.You have to create a variable on "source system" too and put it on the selection screen. Make it mandatory and put it above the variable for application status on the selection screen. So after the user selects the system from which he wants the data, he will see only three options in the F4 help of the "application status".
Regards,
Shweta
P.S. Assign points if it helps.

Compounded source system shows in query results

Hi All,
I have characteristics compounded with 0soursystem. In query results it shows P1/SA01, for example. I want to truncate so it will only show SA01 and NOT the source system id P1. How do you do this?
Cheers,
Mike

Dear Mike,
I would like to do exactly the same thing, but untill now without success. The 0SOURSYSTEM is displayed in query as part of key of characteristic to which it is compounded.
Could you describe in detail what you have done and context?
Thanks in advance,
Josko.

Region in Query without compounded attribute

In Query the 0Region is displayed as US/UT, as it is having a compounded attribute 0Country.
But the client needs only the region i.e UT
How to get this ?

Hello kumar,
After another analysis I have to inform you about general concept of
"compounded characteristics".
A compounded characteristic bounds two characteristics. The technical
name is generated by both technical names of the two characteristics
combined by two underlines "__".
An individual text is only available for one single combination of both
characteristics.
Example:
=======
Compounded characteristic "Famous family name" is a combination of
characteristic "COUNTRY" & "ETHNIC". Technical name: COUNTRY__ETHNIC
Values for Country: USA, Australia
Values for Ethnic: Asian, Latino
Possible value combinations with individual text:
USA & Asian; text: "Ling"
USA & Latino; text: "Sanchez"
Australia & Asian; text: "Chu"
Australia & Latino; text: "Garcia"
(Keep in mind the individual text only valid for the specific
combination.)
In analogy to the issue that you reported, you want to restrict this
compounded characteristic. In the window where you select the restrictedvalue (called Selector) you'll see on the left hand side all available
combinations of the characters with an individual text.
You select family name "Chu" and drag'n'drop it to the right side.
Actually you can only restrict the right compounded characteristic. In
our example you would restrict on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value
"Asian". (When you switch on technical names this comes more clear). Thetext "Chu" is displayed in the context of Selector because you selected
value combination Australia & Asian. But in the end it's just a
placeholder(!) for any combination of characteristic "ETHNIC" and value
#Asian#; in our example it could be USA & Asian "Ling" or Australia &
Asian "Chu").
By leaving the Selector the individual text is gone because now the
context is lost between the two characteristics. You have just a
restriction on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value "Asian". An individualtext can't be displayed because the compounded characteristic is not
specified for this restriction.
You're right, it is confusing when "loosing" the text of a restriction.
But accoring to the concepts of the compounded characteristics it
is a correct behavior.

Hi anandkumar,
I belive this issue can be resolved by changing the Query proprties for the perticular field.
Kindly check the Field proerties in query designer and ensure that Text is enabled ather than Key.
__Field property check up:__Go to query designer->click onn the field-> Right hand side in properties click on display tab-> select Text in drop down menu of Display as tab.
FURTHER CHECK UP: check the master data avaiulability for the perticular info object, if masterdata is not available, do the text data for txt data availability in report level.
Hope this helps you!!

Creation of query

Hi Friends,
Consider the following scenario.Following are the stock values on each day in an ODS.
DATE MATERIAL QTY
1-Jan A 100
1-Jan C 1000
5-Jan A 110
8-Jan B 50
9-Jan B 75
9-Jan C 1100
11-Jan A 120
18-Jan B 10
19-Jan A 75
26-Jan A 225
29-Jan C 750
(Note: MATERIAL refers to compound of Material, plant, storage location, etc.)
the user runs the query on Jan 7 for balance on Jan 6 (through a date variable) the max date in the ODS for Material A is Jan 5 and that for material C is Jan 1. The query should retrieve 110 units for A and 1000 for C. The front end variable controls the time slice....
How do I put this in a query? Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
Try the following approach. This is just an idea.I never used this in my project.
1) Use one z Key figure to represent the Quantity. This KF should have 'Last Value' for Exceptional Aggregation and 0calday as the 'Agg Reference char'.
2) In the query define a variable on 0calday to take user single entry(say ZVAR1)
3) Define restriction on quantity(z KF) with this variable like as follows:
KF : ZKeyFigure
0calday > ZVAR1.
