Count query always return value 1

Hi all,
I got the following sql command :-
select count(*)
from mtl_txn_request_lines mtrl
WHERE mtrl.date_required >= to_date(:fdate || '00:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') and mtrl.date_required <= to_date(:Tdate || '23:59:59','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
and mtrl.header_id = :header_id1
however when I put into the report, the count value always show 1. ( :header_id1 is the key search from another query ).

did you get 1 when you run it on sql/plus too?

Hi,
You can do that with a UNION of your real query and something that selects the default values from dual. Just be sure the second part returns 0 rows when the real query returns anything.
WITH     real_query     AS
     SELECT     name
     ,     id
     FROM     table_x
     WHERE     ...
SELECT     *
FROM     real_query
UNION ALL
SELECT     '0'     AS name
,     0     AS id
FROM     dual
WHERE     NOT EXISTS (
                 SELECT 1
             FROM        real_query
;As always, be careful that the two prongs of the UNION have the same number and types of columns in the SELECT clause.

Restrictive query always returns no rows

I am trying to run a query with a where clause, but I'm always getting no rows returned. I am obviously overlooking something. Here are my scripts that are on the employee dept tables.
The scripts run without any errors and when I do a 'select * from dept_xml' I get the complete XML output. However if I run the query
select * from dept_xml
where existsNode(sys_nc_rowinfo$, '/DEPT_T[DEPTNO=40]') = 1

Hi Gersh,
When trying to insert values through Input schedule , It is creating a new value in BPC infocube instead of inserting only Delta values (so that it overwrites existing values).
During debugging , I'm finding that - When it reads from info cube with "CALL METHOD me->read"
It is reading ## values for all fields expect for BPC dimensions (Characteristics of Infocube)
ie.. Dimension package of Infocube (0CHNGID , 0REQUID & RECORDDTP) has ## values
All Navigational attrbutes has ### values
Only BPC Dimension and Key figure has correct values
As shown below : Data structure read from info Cube gets ## values and Data structure to be inserted has blank space , So it doesn't calculates delta value inserts as new value in info cube
This ## values are getting populated from function "CALL 'C_DB_FUNCTION' ID 'FUNCTION' FIELD 'DB_SQL' for each of this fields , Is there a way to debug this execution step .... ?
Thanks & Regards,

Really? COUNT never returns NULL; it always returns 0 or a positive integer.
Do you mean the query results in "no rows selected"?
Is there any way I can get the value as zero instead of null? Please help.Do you want a query that will produce the same output as the query above, but will produce a single row containing 0 when the query above does not produce anything? That sounds like a job for an outer join:

Query to return ALL rows even those with zero counts

Hi,
The following query will return only those rows that have a non zero count value:
select c.id, a.name, count(*) as XYZ from CON c, CUST a
where c.help !='1' and (c.id = a.id) group by c.id, a.name order by c.id;
The results are:
1 ME 3
3 YOU 4
What i want is to return all rows in CUST and the count, XYZ, that correspond to each row in CUST that matches the whare condition above, even if the count is zero.
ie
1 ME 3
2 WE 0
3 YOU 4
Can this be done?

You may want to get the counts then do the outer join. If you simply count with an outer join you will get 1 for 'WE' because there is a row in the cust table with 'WE'. This may work for you;
with
cust as (
   select 1 id, 'ME' name from dual union all
   select 2 id, 'YOU' name from dual union all
   select 3 id, 'WE' name from dual),
con as (
   select 1 id, '2' help from dual union all
   select 1 id, '2' help from dual union all
   select 1 id, '2' help from dual union all
   select 2 id, '2' help from dual union all
   select 2 id, '2' help from dual union all
   select 2 id, '2' help from dual union all
   select 2 id, '2' help from dual)
-- end of test data
select a.id, a.name, nvl(c.cnt,0) xyz
from cust a,
   (select id, help, count(*) cnt
   from con
   where help !='1'
   group by id, help) c
where a.id = c.id(+)

Select query on table rcv_lots_interface is always returning null

Hi ,
I need a help on the below issue.
The issue is after creating PO in Oracle 11i I receive it in MSCA application.
When we receive it at that point data gets inserted in the table " rcv_transactions_interface " and we have written a trigger on it.
From the trigger on table " rcv_transactions_interface " we are calling a package and in the package we have select query on "rcv_lots_interface."
But the select query is always returning null even though we are passing the correct "interface_transaction_id " and also after the "Receiving Transaction Processor" is executed i can see data in the table " RCV_LOT_TRANSACTIONS " for the same transaction.

Based on reviewing them the workarounds range from dropping the index to setting "_disable_function_based_index" to TRUE.Facinating. It seems to me that if you use the undocumented intitialization parameter you might just as well drop the FBIs too.
Another hazard of FBIs is the Law of Unintended Consequences. 2 years ago we tried to use one to speed up a query in a PL/SQL package. Worked OK for that purpose, but an unrelated loader on the affected table ran and rand but never finished until the FBI was dropped.

Create SP that returns value and at the same time displays query result in output window

Can u pls help in this regard.

The above algo should return 1 0r 0 to c# client application and at the same time display all employees in sql query output window.
Why? and No!
Why? Your procedure generates a resultset of some number of rows. You check the resultset for the presence of rows to determine if "anything is there". You don't need a separate value to tell you this. Note that it helps
to post tsql that is syntactically correct. While we're at it, if you just need to know that rows exist there is no need to count them since that does more work than required. Simply test for existence using the appropriately-named function
"exists". E.g., if exists (select * from dbo.employee).
No! A stored procedure does not display anything anywhere. The application which executes the procedures is responsible for the consumption of the resultset; it chooses what to do and what to display.
Lastly, do not get into the lazy habit of using the asterisk in your tsql code. That is not best practice. Along with that, you should also get into the following best practice habits:
schema-qualify your objects (i.e., dbo.employee)
terminate every statement - it will eventually be required.

Return value for Direct OBPM SQL Query in OBPM 10GR3

Hi all,
I use a direct SQL Query provided by OBPM 10GR3 in my automatic activity to select certain elements from the db. The query is as follows:-
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
// statements
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
This only returns when the id is found in the db but returns nothing when not found in db?
How can I always get a return value? atleast a true or false, so that I can put IF statements?
Because if it returns nothing, the loop does not execute {}? So we cannot put something like:-
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
if(element.id == null)
logMessage("-- Id Not Found -->" );
else
logMessage("-- Id Found -->");
How can I always get a return value from my OBPM direct query ?
Remember , I am not using DynamicSQL in this case?

Hi,
Set a Boolean flag value to False before the SQL query.
Some thing like:
boolean flag = false;
foreach (element in
SELECT id FROM TESTTABLE WHERE requestId = 732 and status = 1 )
logMessage("-- The id is-->" +element.id);
flag = true;
if(flag) {
logMessage("-- Id Found -->" );
else
logMessage("-- Id Not Found -->");
Hope the above logic would work fine.

PCI-6133 always returns huge constant number of counts

Hi,
I am trying to use a PCI-6133 with a BNC-2110 adapter to counting leading edges of pulses. Please excuse my high degree of ignorance of how to do this. Anyway, I connected up my TTL input signal according to the BNC-2110 instructions (to PFI-8 via User-2). Whenever I run the DAQmx sample program Count Digital Events.vi, it recognizes the PCI-6133 OK, but always returns an absurdly high and constant number of counts, like 3.2e9. The number doesn't change as I send test pulses into the input. It also remains the same even if I disconnect the input line entirely and rerun the sample program.
Rebooting yields the same behavior.
Using DAQ assistant to generate my own code, instead of the sample program, produced exactly the same result.
Thanks for any help you can give me. I don't even know where to start to debug this problem.
Thanks,
Andy

How/what exactly are you measureing from;? Are you wiring the digital signal directly into PFI 8? Have your tried using the other counter (CTR1) on the 6133? It should be PFI 3 (as indicated in the manual). You may also try generating a pulse signal from the 6133 and reading it with this VI to determine if your source may be the issue (you could use PFI 2 as a Digital Output for this). Finally, does it read the same value every time you run it (the reported 3.2e9)?
Regards,

Thank you very much for your help.
How/what exactly are you measureing from;?
I am measuring (counting) TTL pulses coming from a TTL driver. They are about 1 us long and nominal TTL high and low values. The pulses look fine on a scope. The rate is very low, typically a few Hz up to perhaps 200 Hz. The behavior is the same regardless of whether I have the input signal connected to the BNC-2110, however. The pulses are ultimately generated by a neutron detector, with a bunch of signal processing in between.
Are you wiring the digital signal directly into PFI 8?
The input signal is connected by BNC cable to the "User 2" port on the BNC-2110. A jumper wire connects the "User2" PFI Terminal to the "PFI-8" PFI Terminal. Again, the behavior is exactly the same regardless of whether these wires are installed or not.
Have your tried using the other counter (CTR1) on the 6133?
The behavior is exactly the same on ctr1, which has no wires connected to it.
You may also try generating a pulse signal from the 6133 and reading it with this VI to determine if your source may be the issue (you could use PFI 2 as a Digital Output for this).
I tried running a "test panel" in MAX to count the 20 MHz internally generated signal. It gave the exact same results, on both ctr0 and ctr1. It did not throw any error message.
Finally, does it read the same value every time you run it (the reported 3.2e9)?
It reads the same value every time I run the sample VI or test panel (3217997774) on both channels, except that the number changes to a different constant number (very close) when I reboot the computer.
I have been wondering if the problem might be associated with the configuration of the ports on the PCI-6133. The manual repeatedly says that you can configure the ports to input or output, for example, but it is not clear to me how to do that. When I right-click the device in MAX, "Configure" is not one of the choices, despite what it says in the "Getting Started" manual.
Again, thanks for your help.
Take care,

How to Sort by the length of the returned value from a query.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to sort by the length of the returned value from a query?
For example if I want to get a list of people with the name 'Samuel', I would like to short by how short the length of the whole name is.
Sort by length of the name in SQL
Samuel Syda
Samuel Indranaka
Samuel Johnsons
Samuel Longhenderson
Thank you.

Hi,
Sorting is done by an ORDER BY clause at the end of the main query.
In most cases, you can ORDER BY any expression, even f it is not in the SELECT clause. In this case, it sounds like you just need:
ORDER BY LENGTH (name_column)
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Post your query, using an ORDER BY clause like the one above, and point out where that query is producing the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get the right results from the given data in those places.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

A cursor doesn't fetch data - your code has to do that. The code you posted doesn't have any FETCH statements so no data will be fetched.
There is no problem using 'IF cur_get_data%rowcount=0' but it will always be 0 in your code because you are not fetching any data.
I'm guessing that you are trying to determine if there are any rows for the query. That isn't going to work since a cursor doesn't fetch rows.
You just have to return the cursor to the caller and the caller will have to perform at least one fetch to see if there are any rows.

What should I do to get a unique value each time I execute the query above.
Thanks.

I thought I had the same problem and I found that if you generate multiple UUID's in the same SQL, it they will be the same. If you make multiple calls, you should get multiple UUID's.
Try this:
SELECT SYSUUID as UUID1 FROM DUMMY;
SELECT SYSUUID as UUID2 FROM DUMMY;
I get the following results:
UUID1 = 538632FD7EA20426E10000000A3F10A9
UUID2 = 538632FE7EA20426E10000000A3F10A9
Notice that the strings look almost identical, but the 8th character on UUID1 is a D and the 8th on UUID2 is a E.

SQL Query returns values like "---" and "NA"

Hi
When I execute a sql query in MII it returns values like "---" and "NA" for empty Char and numeric fields respectively.
I have checked the database and made sure that these fields does not have any value. This happens only when I run the query through MII. Can any one know how can we get rid of these values?
Thanks in advance

Shaji,
MII sets those values as a default if it discovers null values in a query result. You can change this default behaviour in several ways.
First, have a look at the document [Setting custom null values in XML|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70628af0-8ec4-2c10-7da2-f451e412dd8f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]. Then you may also use SQL functions like [NVL|http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/nvl.php] to change the value directly in the SQL query. You can also change the value inside the MII BLT to whatever you need.
