Decode or Case when

Can above be used inside Expression operator, I am getting error while validating. I am using owb 11g.
"variable not declared"
Thanks,

Sure, I use CASE all the time. Be sure all referenced variables in your CASE statement are in your INPUT Group.

Decode or Case when statement

Hi,
I had a condition like
test -table
code - column
t --> True
f --> False
I had two choices of writing query
select decode(code,'t','True','False') from test;
or
select case code
when 't' then 'True'
else 'False'
end
from test;
I want to know which one is best performance wise

Wrong question really.. unless you writing a very tight loop doing 100's of 1000's of iterations using that type of conditional structure. And even then performance difference will not be that significant.
The right question to ask is which one is more flexible and allows for the programmer that comes after you to read and understand and maintain your code. The CASE statement is in this regard, a lot better than a DECODE statement.
Looking just at performance (which I suggest you do not do in isolation!!), I get mixed results using 10G Enterprise on different platforms (HP-UX vs SUN AMD) and operating systems (HP-UX vs Linux).
On the former the DECODE is slightly faster. On the latter the CASE is slightly faster.
Using the construct you've specified and doing a tight loop of a 100,000 iterations, the elapsed execution times are:
HP-UX DECODE = 00:00:11.83
HP-UX CASE = 00:00:12.32
Linux/AMD DECODE =00:00:02.02
Linux/AMD CASE = 00:00:01.84
Obviosuly the CPU architecture plays a major role here. The AMD is considered as the best 64 CPU on the market. The HP-UX PARISC CPU (also 64bit), does not really compare raw performance wise. In addition this is a RISC CPU whereas the AMD CPU is I believe more CISC than RISC.
Also interesting that the faster Sun AMD/Linux server I used for this benchmark is about 10% the price of the HP-UX server.. and about 5x faster ito raw speed as this benchmark showed. :-)
An interesting exercise, but one with little real world value. Yes performance is important. But within PL/SQL, not to the level about debating whether a CASE or DECODE is faster. As I've mentioned, I believe the right question being one about readability and maintenance and not performance in this case.

CASE WHEN statement in DECODE

SELECT v_startdate, v_enddate,
(CASE WHEN SYSDATE BETWEEN v_startdate AND v_enddate THEN
‘active’
ELSE
‘inactive’
END) status
FROM correction_tab;
Could you kindly guide us as to how can we use DECODE and get the desired output.
Thanks,
Rami Reddy.

You can, like this.
However, the CASE seems a lot clearer to me so why bother with a DECODE?

Help in changing plsql case when to decode

Hi,
Can anyone help me to change this sql for it to use decode function instead of case when? Below is the sql code
Thanks in advance.

Case When instead of Decode

Hi,
How to convert this decode statements into CASE WHEN syntax
phone_v := DECODE (c_rec.phone, NULL, NULL, DECODE ( is_it_number (c_rec.phone), 'F', DBMS_RANDOM.STRING ('a', LENGTH (c_rec.phone)), SUBSTR                                                             (DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE, 2, LENGTH (c_rec.phone))));
thanks, Bcj

That should be easiest written like the following :
phone_v := DECODE (c_rec.phone
                  , NULL, NULL
                  , DECODE ( is_it_number (c_rec.phone)
                            , 'F', DBMS_RANDOM.STRING ('a', LENGTH (c_rec.phone))
                            , SUBSTR (DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE, 2, LENGTH (c_rec.phone))
                  );Is it ?

Using case when statement or decode stament in where clause

hi gems..
i have a problem in the following query..
i am trying to use case when statement in the where clause of a select query.
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,
cr.salary as salary
from customer_details cr
where (case when '>' = '>' then 'cr.salary > 5000'
when '>' = '<' then 'cr.salary < 5000'
when '>' = '=' then 'cr.salary = 5000'
else null
end);
the expression in the when clause of the case-when statement will come from UI and depending on the choice i need to make the where clause.
thats why for running the query, i have put '>' in that place.
so the original query will look like this(for your reference):
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,
cr.salary as salary
from customer_details cr
where (case when variable = '>' then 'cr.salary > 5000'
when variable = '<' then 'cr.salary < 5000'
when variable = '=' then 'cr.salary = 5000'
else null
end);
so, in actual case,if the user selects '>' then the filter will be "where cr.salary > 5000"
if the user selects '<' then the filter will be "where cr.salary < 5000"
if the user selects '=' then the filter will be "where cr.salary = 5000"
but i am getting the error "ORA 00920:invalid relational operator"
please help..thanks in advance..

Hi,
select cr.customer_name || ' - ' ||cr.customer_number as cust_name,

from customer_details cr
where (    v_variable = 'bigger'
       and cr.salary > 5000
   or (    v_variable = 'less'
      and cr.salary < 5000

Error creating view with CASE -- WHEN statement in SQL*Plus

I am using Oracle 8i 8.1.7
I have an Oracle view which uses CASE...WHEN statements.
The view compiles fine in DBA studio.
Using TOAD I saved the view as an *.sql file.
However, when I try to create the view in SQL*Plus I get the following error:

According to the documentation CASE -- WHEN has been implemented since since Oracle 8i rel. 2 (8.1.6)

DECODE OR CASE - Which is better and why

Oracle version: 11.2
Problem: We have a huge table with 10M records, which needs to be processed daily.
While loading data in table we have to handle condition if flag is =1 then '111' else '000'
To implement this which one is efficient solution? .. using CASE or DECODE and why?
Example:
SQL> select flag,case when flag='Y' then '111' else '000' end from (select 'Y' as flag from dual union all select 'N' from dual);
F CAS
Y 111
N 000
SQL> select flag,decode(flag,'Y','111','000') from (select 'Y' as flag from dual union all select 'N' from dual);
F DEC
Y 111
N 000

Hi,
For this job, they're equally efficient.
For any job, where DECODE doesn't require a lot more code than CASE, they will be equally efficient.
I recommend (almost) always using CASE. It's easier to understand and debug, and, if written correctly, will never be slower than DECODE.
The only situation where I use DECODE is for very simple tasks (like the one you posted) where this is used inside a very complicated expression, and the slightly less coding needed for DECODE makes the larger statement easier to read.

Decode and case statement in the update..

Its is more to it, but I want to check with you guys, the experts on this, this look busy to me, it should be a more simplify way of doing it, do you think will work
The government decide to change the ethnic codes, and we have to come with certain rules to in our report, anyway, do you think this will work? again It is more to it I declare my variables, this is just one part of the precedure.

Doesn't look like a right Decode syntax.
DECODE (col1,'VAL1','This','VAL2','That','ElseThis')
means
--Psuedocode
IF col1 = 'VAL1' THEN 'This'
IF col1 = 'VAL2' THEN 'That'
ELSE 'ElseThis'You can use CASE statement Instead of DECODE
CASE

Discoverer: "CASE WHEN...." in calculations won't show anything in GUI !?!?

Hi all!
I have a report in Discoverer Plus (Version 10.1.2.48.18) which contains 2 columns: One with actual spendings and one with budget figures. I want to make a third column which holds actual spendings in percentage of the budget. To do this, I need to make a calculation similar to:
CASE WHEN SUM(budget) <> 0 THEN SUM(spendings)/SUM(budget) ELSE NULL END
However, when I apply this calculation to the third column, my report don't return any numbers at all in any column.
What am I doing wrong? -- Is this a bug, and how should I solve my problem?
~Morten

I can get something out if I do this (applying an aggregate function to it all):
SUM(CASE WHEN budget <> 0 THEN spendings/budget ELSE NULL END)
However, this is wrong (Summarizing these percentages doesn't give any meaning).
SQL lookes something like this:
SELECT /*+ NOREWRITE */ o100448.ACCOUNT as E100451,(decode((ADD_MONTHS(o100862.DATE1,-4)),null,to_date(null, 'MMDDYYYY'),to_date(to_char(trunc((ADD_MONTHS(o100862.DATE1,-4)),'YYYY'),'YYYY') || '01','YYYYMM'))) as E101004,MAX(o100448.ACCOUNTNUM) as as100473_100451_NEW,CASE WHEN ( SUM(o100862.BUDGET) ) <> 0 THEN ( SUM(o100862.AMOUNT) )/( SUM(o100862.BUDGET) ) ELSE NULL END as C_1,( SUM(o100862.BUDGET) )*o100448.SIGN as C_3,( SUM(o100862.AMOUNT) )*o100448.SIGN as C_2,GROUPING_ID(o100448.ACCOUNT,o100448.SIGN,(decode((ADD_MONTHS(o100862.DATE1,-4)),null,to_date(null, 'MMDDYYYY'),to_date(to_char(trunc((ADD_MONTHS(o100862.DATE1,-4)),'YYYY'),'YYYY') || '01','YYYYMM')))) as GID
FROM TANGO.TANGO_ACCOUNTS o100448,
TANGO.TANGO_SUMS o100862
WHERE ( (o100862.ORG = o100448.ORG AND o100862.ACCOUNTNUM = o100448.SUBACCOUNTNUM))
AND (o100448.ACCOUNTNUM BETWEEN 30000 AND 79999)
AND (o100862.DIM = '50')
AND (o100448.ORG = 'bru')
GROUP BY GROUPING SETS(( o100448.ACCOUNT,o100448.SIGN,(decode((ADD_MONTHS(o100862.DATE1,-4)),null,to_date(null, 'MMDDYYYY'),to_date(to_char(trunc((ADD_MONTHS(o100862.DATE1,-4)),'YYYY'),'YYYY') || '01','YYYYMM'))) ),( o100448.ACCOUNT,(decode((ADD_MONTHS(o100862.DATE1,-4)),null,to_date(null, 'MMDDYYYY'),to_date(to_char(trunc((ADD_MONTHS(o100862.DATE1,-4)),'YYYY'),'YYYY') || '01','YYYYMM'))) ))
HAVING (GROUP_ID()=0)
ORDER BY GID DESC;
I tried to fire this SQL up in TOAD (or whatever SQL-tool you might have), and columns C_2 and C_3 are empty. Seems like I'm doing something awfully wrong here.....
Any ideas? (There must be some SQL sharks out there ;-p)

Need help converting Excel IF statement into CASE WHEN statement for Oracle

Hi,
Hope someone can help I have tried various ways of getting this to work, to no avail!
Bascially I have some figures that are minus figures, and I need to add them together to get a movement figure, but I need to treat the minus figures as minus, if that makes sense, rather than the usual... a minus and a minus makes a plus.
For example:- Budget Figure = -1% and Actual Figure = -68% so the movement needs to be -69%.
The IF statement I have been using in Excel is the following:-
=IF(FO110<0,(FP110-(IF(FO110=0,1,FO110)*-1)),FP110-IF(FO110=0,1,FO110))
Which when using the figures as above = -69%
Cell FO = The Budget Figure
Cell FP = The Actual Figure
However, when I created the CASE statement in Oracle, the figure in the query comes back as -0.67, which is oviously not what I want to happen when both actual and budget are minus figures; however when they are a minus and a plus, it works perfectly fine.
Any help on this would be most appreciated!
Kind regards,
Annmarie

Happy I did'n mess something up :)
Nevertheless, don't show it too much around because
case when budget < 0
     then actual - case when budget = 0 /* will never happen */
                        then 1           /* will never happen */
                        else budget
                   end * (-1)            /* -budget * (-1) remains only */
     else actual - case when budget = 0
                        then 1
                        else budget
                   end
endso at least try the following (if case is more readable as decode for you). Let's hope it works as I don't have a Database at hand
case when budget < 0
     then actual + budget
     else actual - case when budget = 0
                        then 1
                        else budget
                   end
end Regards

Using function on decode or case in query

Hi experts
I am using oracle 11G database,I have to check length of name column value from employee table and if length(name) > 39 then value should be substr(name,0,39)
else value should be name only.
i tried below code
select CASE when length(name) > 39,substr(name,0,39)
            else name
       END
from employee but its not working ..can I do this using decode too ? ,,which one would be better or this is not a right way ?
Thanks

from employee but its not working ..Review the syntax of the CASE expression in the SQL Language manual. A CASE expression always has at least one THEN clause. Commas are not part of the CASE expression syntax.
can I do this using decode too ? Sure, anything you can do with CASE you can also do with DECODE.
,,which one would be betterThis is one of the many situations where CASE is much shorter, clearer and more efficient than DECODE.
or this is not a right way ?How about
SELECT SUBSTR (name, 1, 39) AS employee_name
FROM    employee;?
If name is 39 characters (or less), then <tt> SUBSTR (name, 1, 39) </tt> will return it, unchanged.
