Corelated subquery Vs Nested Sub Query

hi all,
i am having a small doubt regarding the usage of corelated subqueries. what is the difference between corelated subquery & nested subquery in terms of performance. Which is more advisable to use?
pls. help me.

  • Nested sub query

    HI,
    how ro write nested multiple row ( row should consist range of values )sub query between tables if they dont have any common column.
    Based on this weight range I have to group the other columns.
    For eg:
    My table should contain
    weight-range:
    1-> 2
    2->3
    3->4
    etc

    Please repost your question adding clarity and an example so we can understand what you are asking. Also include your full version number.

  • Nested or sub query

    Hello All,
    I would like to show out put with Reference Table values. I am wondering how I can do nested , sub query.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Whenever you have a problem, it helps to post the sample data as CREATE TABLE and INSERT staements. Without tables and data, nobody can test anything.
    It is essential that you post the results you want to get from the data.
    Are these the results you want from the data you posted?
    T3_ID     RF_ID     NAME
    1     2     DC
    2     3     Garu
    3     2     DCIf so, do this:
    SELECT     match.t3_id
    ,     match.rf_id
    ,     rf.name
    FROM     match
    JOIN     rf     ON     match.rf_id     = rf.pk
    ;

  • Scoping violation in sub-query

    I created a sql in Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 to query Oracle Purchasing tables. The user wants to know an estimate of the number of business days it takes to approve a release once it is created. I created a subquery as follows:
    Select Papf.Full_Name As Approver
    , Pah.Action_Date As Approved_Date
    , Por.Creation_Date
    , Trunc(Pah.Action_Date) - Trunc(Por.Creation_Date) As Days
    , (Select Count(*)
    From (Select Level, (Pah.Action_Date+1)-Level My_Date From Dual
    Connect By Level < Trunc(Pah.Action_Date+1) - Trunc(por.creation_Date)
    ) Where To_Char(My_Date, 'DY') In ('MON', 'TUE', 'WED', 'THU', 'FRI')) As Days2Approve
    FROM Apps.Po_Headers_All Poh
    , Apps.Po_Releases_All Por
    , Apps.Po_Lines_All Pol
    , Apps.Po_Action_History Pah
    …etc.
    When I run the query I get the following error message:
    ORA-00904: "POR"."CREATION_DATE": invalid identifier
    00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
    *Cause:   
    *Action:
    Error at Line: 193 Column: 54
    I know the sub-query conceptually sound because if I run the sql below with dummy dates I get 17 which is correct.
    Select Count(*)
    From (SELECT level, (to_date('24-JAN-2013')+1)-level my_date From Dual
    Connect By Level < Trunc(To_Date('24-JAN-2013')+1) - Trunc(To_Date('01-JAN-2013'))
    ) Where To_Char(My_Date, 'DY') In ('MON', 'TUE', 'WED', 'THU', 'FRI')
    How do I pass Pah.Action_Date & por.creation_Date to the sub-query without getting what appears to be scoping violation?

    Hi,
    You can avoid the problem by not using a nested sub-query:
        SELECT  COUNT (*)
        FROM    dual
        CONNECT BY   LEVEL  < TRUNC (pah.action_date + 1)
                   - TRUNC (por.creation_date)
        WHERE   TO_CHAR ( pah.action_date + 1 - LEVEL
                          , 'DY'
                  ) NOT IN ('SAT', 'SUN')
    ) AS days2approve 
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.

  • Difference between sub-query and corelated subquery

    Hi,
    can anyone please give me the clear difference between sub-query and coreleated subquery with an example.
    I am very much confused with the both.
    Also please let me know in which cases/situation these are used.
    Thanks,

    Basically Sub Query is Query within Query. There are different type of SubQuery.
    1. Scalar Sub Query
    Query that is totally independent from the main query.
      select empno, (select count(*) from emp) total_emp
        from emphere the subquery is totally independent of the main query.
    2. Corelated Sub Query
    The sub query reffers to the main query.
      select empno, (select deptname from dept d where e.deptno = d.deptno) deptname
         from emp e3. Inline view
    A sub query that is used as a table or view in a SQL
    select *
      from (select empno, deptname
              from emp e, dept d
             where e.deptno = d.deptno)
    where sal > 100

  • Issue with join condition while using in the corelated sub query

    Bees,
    I am not able to use the below query since i have used a join condition in the corelated sub qery inline view.But i have a requirement like this . Please help me on this
    select * from dept d
    where exists (select 1 from (
    select deptno
    from emp where deptno= d.deptno)
    Thank you
    Boooo

    Hi,
    I've never seen a general solution for how to reference columns from main query a from sub-query c, where c is is sub-query of b, which is a sub-query of a.
    Whenever I've wanted to, I've been able to get the desired results with a different approach.
    In this case, you seem to want
    SELECT     *
    FROM     dept     d
    WHERE     EXISTS     (
              SELECT     1
              FROM     emp
              WHERE     deptno     = d.deptno
              );I'm guessing at your data and desired output.

  • Number of Execution of Sub-Query

    Hi,
    Let suppose we have a SQL which has a sub-query in the filter NOT IN clause as shown below. I wish to know that whether for each record from Table_1 (T1),
    the inner/filter SQL will execute
    or
    It will execute only once for that session (All the records from T1).
    Meaning: Let suppose Table_1 has 5 Million records. So whether the filter/sub-query will be executed 5 Million times by Oracle Engine or It will be executed only once.
    SQL:
    SELECT T1.C1, T1.C2, T2.C3 FROM Table_1 T1
    INNER JOIN
    Table_2 T2
    ON T1.C1=T2.C1
    WHERE T1.C2 = 0 AND
    T1.C4 NOT IN(SELECT DISTINCT COLUMN_12 FROM TABLE_3 WHERE COLUMN_13 = 'VALUE');
    Best Regards,
    Mayur

    It depends on the execution plan. NOT IN can be converted to NOT EXISTS, it can be converted to an ANTI-JOIN.
    If it's converted to a hash (or merge) ANTI-JOIN the subquery is (effectively) executed once, if it's converted to a nested loop anti-join it's (effectively) executed once per row in the driving rowsource. If it's converted to a NOT EXISTS filter subquery it may be executed as much as once per row in the driving row source, it may be executed as little as once per distinct value in the driving row source. (See http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2006/11/06/filter-subqueries/ for an example of the FILTER subquery count

    Can any one give me clue ,how to find out which sub query returns more than one row in the following query .This is why smaller, simpler queries are easier to work with than huge ones - when something like this goes wrong smaller queries are much eaiser to debug. Unfortunately using smaller, easier-to-work with queries is not always an option
    Ganesh is right - you will have to dissect the big query bit by bit until you find the offending subquery. If there is another way I would like to find out about it too.
    The easiest way to do this is probably to use block comments to isolate parts of the query bit by bit until you find the offending part. If you carefully examine the subqueries you might be able to figure out which one is returning multiple rows without commenting everything
    Good luck!

  • How to use sub query in CAML in splist

    hi,
    want to know whether any sub query functionality can be achieved in splist/sp doc lib using  CAML designer 2013/ query builder. also inner joins need to be implemented as pe rmy requirement.
    if caml designer is not supported, whats the allternative way of doing this?
    can LINQ to SP be used? if yes, can anyone pls roivde how to implement  the same
     help is appreciated

    You can use the let keyword to scope a variable containing the result of your subquery.
     However, it depends on the LINQ provider as to whether or not it can understand the command.
    For example, you can create the sample like this
    var result = (from p in productInQuery
          join o in orderInfoQuery on p.refNo equals o.refNo
          join t in productOutQuery on p.no equals t.productInNo into productIn
          from t in productIn.DefaultIfEmpty()
          let dateOut = (from m in orderInfoQuery where m.refNo == t.refNo select m.processData).FirstOrDefault()
          orderby o.processDate descending
          select new
              modelNo = x.modelNo,
              qty = p.qty,
              dateIn = o.processDate,
              dateOut = dateOut

  • Case Statement in sub query

    Hi, I have two issues, here is my initial code:
    select
    cc.name_id_no
    ,cc.discover_date
    ,cc.cla_case_no
    ,max(rl.year_of_incident)Non_Loss_Past_5
    ,rl.timestamp
    from cla_case cc, rbn_loss rl
    where cc.name_id_no = rl.customer_no
    and rl.year_of_incident < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and rl.type_of_loss < 1000
    and rl.timestamp < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and (cc.question_class = 20
    or cc.question_class = 25)
    and (trunc(cc.discover_date)- (rl.year_of_incident)) < 1095
    --and (trunc(cc.discover_date) <> (rl.year_of_incident))
    group by cc.cla_case_no,name_id_no, cc.discover_date,rl.timestamp
    Now a cla_case_no can map to several year_of_incident. I only want the cla_case_no that maps to the max year_of_incident ie There should only be a single cla_case_no corresponding to the max year_of_incident.
    To get around this I did the following which is not very efficient and I'm hoping it can be improved:
    select distinct z.cla_case_no from (
    select
    cc.name_id_no
    ,cc.discover_date
    ,cc.cla_case_no
    ,max(rl.year_of_incident)Non_MW_Loss_Past_5
    ,rl.timestamp
    from cla_case cc, rbn_loss rl
    where cc.name_id_no = rl.customer_no
    and rl.year_of_incident < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and rl.type_of_loss < 1000
    and rl.timestamp < trunc(cc.discover_date)
    and (cc.question_class = 20
    or cc.question_class = 25)
    and (trunc(cc.discover_date)- (rl.year_of_incident)) < 1095
    --and (trunc(cc.discover_date) <> (rl.year_of_incident))

    Now only certain cc.cla_case_no from the subquery will corresp to the ccx_cla_case_no from the main table and the other entries will be null.
    What I require is that if the subquery returns a result that IS NOT NULL to return 'Y' ELSE 'N' instead of the varies cla_case_no's and (null) entries in the Non_MW_Loss_Past_5 column

    Hi,
    It looks like you have another copy of this question:
    Case Statement and sub query
    That's probably not your fault, but you should mark the other copy as "Answered" right away, and then you'll only have to look for replies in one place.

    ... Now a cla_case_no can map to several year_of_incident. I only want the cla_case_no that maps to the max year_of_incident ie There should only be a single cla_case_no corresponding to the max year_of_incident.If you know there will only be one, then you can use LAST, and you don't need GrOUP BY
    To get around this I did the following which is not very efficient and I'm hoping it can be improved:
    select distinct z.cla_case_no from (

  • Order by clause in Sub query

    Hi,
    Can we use order by clause in Sub query?
    While using the order by clause, I am getting the "missing expression error" . If I remove order by clause query executing fine.
    Here is my query:
    select *
    from emp_mstr
    where emp_no in(select
    emp_no
    from emp_mstr
    order by branch_no);
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mahi

    May be you miss some required spaces also, other than wrong use of ORDER BY
    select *
    from emp_mstr
    where emp_no in
         ( select e2.emp_no
           from emp_mstr e2
    --       order by e2.branch_no
         );Why do you want to ORDER BY in the subquery, which you use with IN clause? That will not make any difference in the result..Means the result you get with ORDER BY will be same as without that.. And in this case, ORDER by is a unncessary overhead.. And Ordering is very costly..
    And why do you want to have the IN clause at all in your query? You are referring the same tables in the main query and sub query..
    The below will give the same result
    select *
    from emp_mstr
    where emp_no is not nullIf you want to use another table in the subquery, always use aliasess...
    select *
    from emp_mstr
    where emp_no in
         ( select e2.emp_no
           from emp_mstr2 e2
    --       order by e2.branch_no
         );

  • Correlated sub-query/outer join problem

    Hi,
    I have a problem similar to this one (Outer join with correlated subquery but I'm struggling to find a solution for mine!
    The following query works OK unless there is no entry in room_prices, so I need to outer join somehow to that table otherwise it doesn't return any rows.
    The main difference between the query in the other thread and mine is that mine has an extra table (bookings b) in the sub-query, which is complicating things a bit.
    select b.book_from,
         b.book_to,
         b.flat_rate,
         nvl(c.discount,0),
         p.hourly,
         p.half_day,
         p.daily,
         p.discountable,
         p.surcharge,
         l.evening_start,
         nvl(b.full_day,'N')
    from booking.bookings b,
    booking.customer c,
    booking.room_prices p,
    booking.rooms r,
    booking.location l
    where b.id = 9272
    and c.id = b.customer
    and b.room = p.room
    and b.room = r.id
    and r.loc = l.id
    and p.from_date =
    select max(p2.from_date)
    from booking.room_prices p2
    where p2.room = p.room
    and p2.from_date < b.book_from
    Could anyone suggest a way to re-write the query so that it is outer joined to room_prices?
    Thanks,
    Hazel
