Date BETWEEN query with a difference?

Hi,
I have a BETWEEN query (at least I think that's what it will need), but with a difference.
Normally you would specific a field which was BETWEEN two set variables
ie. {fieldname} BETWEEN 1 AND 3
However I need mine the other way round.
I have a series of records which have a startdate and enddate held against them.
When a user submits a new record to the db, I need it to check that the starting and ending date range doesn't overlap any of the existing start-end date ranges that exist.
In order to do that I'm trying to build a query which takes in the incoming startdate variable and see if that is within any of the existing start-date-enddate dates ranges of the existing records, and then same for the incoming endate. I actually want the ones that are going to cause a problem to appear...
I;m sure there is a pretty easy way of coding this, but I'm struggling to get my head round it.
Anyone offer any advice?

You can try something like this
use adventureworks
go
select birthdate from humanresources.employeetest where birthdate between
(select min(birthdate) from humanresources.employee) and
(select max(birthdate) from humanresources.employee)

Dates Between Query :( with out TO_DATE.

Greetings,
I have a query whete in the where clause I compare a column b/w two dates. The Query looks like this,
trunc(LAST_UPDATE_DATE) BETWEEN '22-FEB-03' AND '21-MAR-03'.
This query doesn't fetch any records. Whereas when I use the query with a TO_DATE function it works fine. The query looks like,
TRUNC(LAST_UPDATE_DATE) BETWEEN TO_DATE('22-FEB-03','DD-MON-YY') AND TO_DATE('21-MAR-03','DD-MON-YY')
Ideally I can't impose this becasue the query is a generarted query by one of the reporting tools.
Kindly Help. I really appreciated your help in this regard.
Thanks,
Badhri ...

Your NLS_DATE_FORMAT is set to something other than 'DD-MON-YY'. This can be changed at a session level by executing a query
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-YY'
You could also change this at an instance level, but that would likely have side-effects on other queries. One of the reasons that not having to_date can be a royal pain.

Hi Gopal,
According to your description, it seems that the output needn’t include the row when EmpID=2. Because the DateTime for it in Table1 doesn’t included between FromDate column and ToDate column. After testing the issue in my environment, we can refer to the
query like below to achieve your requirement:
SELECT time.*,cost.EmpID,cost.Rate,(time.HoursSpend * cost.Rate)as [Total (HoursSond x Rate)]
FROM [Time sheet] as time
INNER JOIN
[cost table]as cost
ON time.EmpID = cost.EmpID
AND time.DateTime BETWEEN cost.FromDate AND cost.ToDate
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

You either have a SQL problem and this is the incorrect place to ask.

Generating a list of dates between 2 dates

hi all,
I have a table which looks something like this.
Table_A
(emp_id number,
str_dt date,
end_dt)
Lets suppose the data is as below.
emp_id str_dt end_dt
1 01-may-2006 03-may-2006
2 05-may-2006 12-may-2006
3 06-jun-2006 08-jun-2006
Now i need a query which will pivot this result above into something like given below and also generate the period of dates between str_dt and end_dt.
Example output needed.
emp_id dt
1 01-may-2006
1 02-may-2006
1 03-may-2006
2 05-may-2006
2 06-may-2006
3 06-jun-2006
3 07-jun-2006
Can someone please help me out here? I have tried with different ways, like using rownum from all_objects, etc, but to no avail.
Your export opinion and help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
B

Thanks a lot. All well nowEven if the cd's suggestion doesn't work whenever the period is greater than 31 days ?

Getting a list of dates between 2 dates

Hi All,
Is there a way I can generate a list of date using a simple SELECT statement to generate all dates between to date points? For example between SYSDATE AND SYSDATE-7?
One way I know is have a table and run PL/SQL script to put all dates in it and query that but was wondering if it can be achieve via SQL SELECT query at all without creating a table (querying DUAL).
Cheers.
Using Oracle XE 11GR2

Between Query in Oracle

Hi,
Is it possible to fetch the value between the same date. When i use the below query with different date its working fine. but when i use the same query with same date it is not working.
select m.doc_id,m.date from log m,content c
where c.id= m.id and m.language = 'Spanish' and m.flag='1'
and m.date between to_date('07-May-2010')
and to_date('07-May-2010')
Desc of log table is
ID     NUMBER
LANGUAGE     NOT NULL VARCHAR2(255)
FLAG     NUMBER
DATE     DATE
Values as
ID Language Flag Date
1 Spanish 1 07-May-10
2 English 1 07-May-10
3 Spanish 1 07-May-10
4 Spanish 0 07-May-10
5 Spanish 1 08-May-10
I want the result as
1 Spanish 1 07-May-10
3 Spanish 1 07-May-10
same query should result in if we use the date range like 07-May-10 to 08-May-10
Note there is no time frame in date field.
Thanks,

There's little point in using BETWEEN since the optimizer will turn it into <=, >= logic anyway.
So, forget about it and use <=, > (whatever combination you require). Notice the predicate info here:
SQL> explain plan for select * from dual where sysdate between to_date('01-JAN-2010') and to_date('31-DEC-2010');
Explained.

days + date between '01-Nov-2008' and '01-Nov-2008'
and also compare these two dates in the query

If you want to show us code or data in a nice formatted manner that we can read, then surround it with {noformat}{noformat} tags. ;)

Oracle date parameter query not working?

Find to find date between 05/01/2003 and 05/29/2003

Indeed, it's something about sql...
I write a programme to have query on access database
I try to
sql="select * from PO where Date between to_date('05012003','mmddyyyy') and to_date('05292003','mmddyyyy')";
but it's doesn't work...why?no (to_date) function in access??
pls help!!

When you are going through java to any database it uses a third party bridge that converts the SQL statements into something that the target database understands. Some of these third party bridges only conform to true SQL statements. Best to find out how the bridge functions.
As such Java supports the ANSI SQL-2 standard.
I imagine others will correct any errors in my statement, but I belive my answer is esentially right. Of course the jist of it is that you are going to have to find out how the particular bridge you are using handles date manipulations, It has little to nothing to do with the underlying database and everything to do with the connection bridge software.

Best way to pass secure data between servers

Hello,
In the not to distant future my company wants to expand our
site to include a single sign-on, this will be made possible with
the 3rd party group that handles our customer info. Can someone
enlighten me as the most secure method of transferring user data
between these locations?
What has been proposed is to pass the login from our site to
the 3rd party, if successful pass back certain data, display and
possibly update on our site and then pass this back to the 3rd
party server.
Is CFLogin the most powerful method for login? I've used
query checks in the past, is that adequate or is CFLogin much
better? Any pointers are appreciated.

"Is CFLogin the most powerful method for login? I've used

Neither, CFLogin is really just a specific purpose IF block.
Code
within the opening and closing <cflogin...> tags is run
when a user is
not logged in with the <cfloginuser...> tag. Inside
this block one
still needs to validate the credentials provided by the user,
often with
a query check.
The <cflogin...><cfloginuser...> combination
provides an easy to
interpret and use mechanism to run conditional code and
persist a user
login state from request to request. It is basically
equivalent to ones
own <cfif...> logic combined with session data for the
user state.
Under the hood it is using the same mechanisms.
I usually prefer to roll my own solution because I often want
to store
more state data about a user then is allowed with the
<cfloginuser...>
tag and the related getAuthUser() and isUserInRole()
functions.

How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI

Hi,
I just read "How to Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP NetWeaver BI". While I'm waiting for more authorisation to r/3 to carry it out and test this functionality.
I'd like to ask a question to anyone who has implemented this type solution. On page 10 it talks about creating a view then setting up the datasource. The solution talks about runnig a query. I suspect when we run a query I would run it for only a period(using variable) to reconcile.
My question is this. Will the datasource extractor on /r3 only select the period in our variable or will it do a full selection of the data which would then be passed to BW for filtering?
Regards

DEar Mark,
There are several avenues where you can see and reconcile your data with source system, u can see data in by tcode RSA3 for a datasource, and compare the values with actual document posted into the R/3 system. Respective fuctional consultant canhelp you a lot to confirm the data.
On BW side u can see the data in PSA and then check tranformations which subsequent change/update/reject data records based on the selective conditions.
hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it works.
Revert back if u need futher help/information.

Display all dates between date range (Time Dimension left outer join Fact)

All,
I have done some searching around this issue but within all the posts regarding date variables, date prompts and date filtering I haven't seen one exactly answering my issue (maybe they are and I just dont have my head around it correctly yet).
My report requirement is to allow a user to select a start day and an end day. The report should show all activity between those two days - AND display 0/null on days where there is no activity. That second part is where I am getting hung up.
The tables in question are:
TimeDim
EventFact
CustomerDim
My BMM is setup as follows:
TimeDim left outer join EventFact
CustomerDim inner join EventFact
If I run a report selecting DAY from TimeDim and a measure1 from EventFact with day range 1/1/2010 - 12/31/2010 .. I get a record for every day and it looks perfect because of the left outer join between TimeDim and CustomerDim.
But .. if I add in a field from CustomerDim, select TimeDim.DAY, CustomerDim.CUSTNAME, EventFact.MEASURE1, OBIEE only returns records for the days that have EventFact records.
This is due to the fact that the TimeDim is still outer joined into EventFact but adding in CustomerDim makes OBIEE setup an inner join between those tables which then causes only data to be returned where EventFact data exists.
There is a way around this in this simple case and that is to define the relationship between CustomerDim and EventFact as an outer join as well. This will give the desired effect (but an outer join between these two tables is not the true relationship) and as I add additional dimensions and add additional logical sources to a single dimension in the BMM it gets complicated and messy.
Ive also messed with setting the driving table in the relationship, etc.. but it has not given the desired effect.
Has anyone ever encountered the need to force display all dates within a specfied range with a fact table that may not have an entry for every date?
Thanks in advance.

It worked!!!* Even my time drill downs and date based filtering still work!
That is awesome. Never would have thought of that intuitively.
Now, just need a little help understanding how it works. When I run my report and check the logs I can see that two queries are issued:
Query 1: Joins the fact table to all the associated dimensions. I even changed all the relationships to inner joins (which is what they truly are). And calculates the original measure. If I copy and paste this query into sql developer it runs fine but only returns those rows that joined to the time dimension - which is what was happening before. It is correct but I wanted a record for every time dimension record.
Query 2: Looks like the following:
select sum(0)
from timedim
where date between <dateprompt1> and <dateprompt2>
group by month *<--* this is the time dimension level specified in Query 1, so it knows to aggregate to the month level as was done in query 1
Final Question: So what is OBIEE doing ultimately, does it issue these two requests and then perform a full outer join or something to bring them together? I couldn't see anywhere in the log a complete query that I could just run to see a similar result that I was getting in Answers.
Thanks for all the help .. Id give more points if I could.
