DECODE SQL Question.

Hello all -
I'm trying to use the DECODE function in a SQL statement I'm building but what I'm trying to do, I've never done before. Below is the portion that I'm struggling with in that I'm receiving an error message but can't understand why I am as all parenthesis have been accounted for. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have run out of options.
SELECT
DECODE(golfer1_score - 148, (golfer1_score - 148 < 0), (golfer1_score - 148) * -1, golfer1_score - 148) golferdiff1
FROM......
DECODE(golfer1_score - 148, (golfer1_score - 148 < 0), (golfer1_score - 148) * -1, golfer1_score - 148) golferdiff1,
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
(NOTE: The "*" is over the "<" compare)
Thanks,
Mark

Gabe,
Thanks for your help with the absolute function. It worked perfectly.
Thanks,
Mark

Sql question : TRUNCATE vs Delete

hi
this is sql question, i don't know where i should post it, so here it is.
i just want to know the best usage of each. both commands delete records in a table, one deletes all, and the other can do the same plus option to delete specified records. if i just want to purge the table. which one is better and why? thanks

this is crucial to my design, i need to be able to
rollback if one of the process in the transaction
failed, the whole transaction should rollback. if
truncate does not give me this capability, then i have
to consider Delete.From the Oracle manual (sans the pretty formatting):
TRUNCATE
Caution: You cannot roll back a TRUNCATE statement.
Purpose
Use the TRUNCATE statement to remove all rows from a table or cluster. By default,
Oracle also deallocates all space used by the removed rows except that specified by
the MINEXTENTS storage parameter and sets the NEXT storage parameter to the size
of the last extent removed from the segment by the truncation process.
Removing rows with the TRUNCATE statement can be more efficient than dropping
and re-creating a table. Dropping and re-creating a table invalidates the table?s
dependent objects, requires you to regrant object privileges on the table, and
requires you to re-create the table?s indexes, integrity constraints, and triggers and
respecify its storage parameters. Truncating has none of these effects.
See Also:
DELETE on page 16-55 and DROP TABLE on page 17-6 for
information on other ways to drop table data from the database
DROP CLUSTER on page 16-67 for information on dropping
cluster tables
Prerequisites
To truncate a table or cluster, the table or cluster must be in your schema or you
must have DROP ANY TABLE system privilege.

Urgent SQL question : how to flip vertical row values to horizontal ?

Hello, Oracle people !
I have an urgent SQL question : (simple for you)
using SELECT statement, how to convert vertical row values to horizontal ?
For example :
(Given result-set)
MANAGER COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
K. Smith ......1
K. Smith ...............1
K. Smith ........................1
(Needed result-set)
MANAGER COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
K. Smith ......1 .......1 .......1
I know you can, just don't remeber how and can't find exactly answer I'm looking for. Probably using some analytic SQL function (CAST OVER, PARTITION BY, etc.)
Please Help !!!
Thanx !
Steve.

Hi, Soph,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you hav a question, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statments) and the resutls you want from that data.
In the case of a DML problem (such as UPDATE), the sample data should show what the tabels are like before the change, and the reuslts will be the contents of the changed table after it.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.
Without that, people will still try to help you as much as they can, but that won't be much.
IF-THEN-ELSE is PL/SQL. You can't use PL/SQL statements in the middle of a SQL staement, such as SELECT, even if the SQL statement is being doen within PL/SQL.
Instead of IF-THEN-ELSE, you can use CASE in SQL, or, in some special situations, DECODE.
Here's an example of using CASE:
Say you have a column in your table called cust_opt_in_rental, and it could have the values 'N'. 'N1', 'N2' or 'N3'.
You want to produce a column in your result set called result, which will be derived from cust_opt_in_rental.
If cust_opt_in_rental is 'N', then result should be ''Y'
If cust_opt_in_rental is 'N1', then result should be 'VIP Program' followed by the column cust_classif_tr3_FULL_NM
If cust_opt_in_rental is 'N2', then result should be 'Y' followed by the column CUST_EMAIL_ADDR_IND
If cust_opt_in_rental is 'N3', then result should be 'Active' fololowed by the column CUST_STAT_TR2_FULL_NM
You can do that using CASE like this:
SELECT CASE     customer.cust_opt_in_rental_ind
          WHEN 'N'   THEN 'Y';
          WHEN 'N1' THEN 'VIP Program ' || cust_classif_tr3_full_nm
          WHEN 'N2' THEN 'Y '        || cust_email_addr_ind
          WHEN 'N3' THEN 'Active '       || cust_stat_tr2_full_nm
     END             AS result
FROM     ...This is one situation where DECODE would work as well.

*Silly* SQL Question - SQL Newbie

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time reading this.
Im a SQL Newbie
Question?
I Have a PHONE_TABLE, which consist of
a BUREAU Column and a STATUS Column.
Within the STATUS column exist 'active' and 'inactive'
I would like to know if it's possible to create a report that groups a Bureau and counts the # of active /inactive phones
that displays
\BUREAU/- - -\Active/ - - - -\Inactive/
- - - - HR - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - --4 - - - - - - - -
- - - - IT - - - - - 1 -- - - - -- - - 5 - - - - - - - - -
- - MGMT - -- -- 3 - - - - -- - - 6 - - - - -- -
Thanks for the help guys

Try this:
select bureau, sum(decode(status,'Active',1,0) ) active , sum (decode(status,'Inactive',1,0) ) inactive
from PHONE_TABLE
group by bureauHope this helps!

General SQL question

I have seen the following in some sql, but not sure of the difference.
select abc, NULL from xyz where .....
select abc, to_char(NULL) from xyz where ....
my question is there a difference between NULL and TO_CHAR(NULL) ?
Thanks.

Looks like someone was trying to cast the null to a varchar2 datatype so that SQL knew the datatype of the column. In that case they should have used the CAST function...
Blu:
Just out of curiosity, any particular reason for the preference for cast instead of to_datatype(null)? I often use that construct, particularly in union type queries. The cast is sematically meaningless in a union query since the column will get the size of the largest column in the query.

SQL Questions (New to Cisco)

Hello. I work for Clarian Health in Indianapolis and am trying to learn as much as possible about the SQL databases, both AWDB and HDS so that I can handle the reporting for our Revenue Cycle Customer Service.
I am currently working my way through the Database Schema Handbook for Cisco Unified ICM /Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted. I’m also reviewing the explanation pages that are available for the reports on WebView. During my reviews, I have noticed a few things that confuse me.
My questions are:
1. Why do a majority of the tables on our SQL Server start with “t_”?
2. Why do some of the tables have data on the AWDB server but not on the HDS server, and vice versa? (Examples: t_Agent and t_Agent_Team and t_Agent_Team_Member and t_Person are blank on the HDS database but not blank on the AWDB database; but the t_Agent_Logout is blank on the AWDB database and not blank on the HDS database)
3. When data is moved to the HDS server every 30 minutes, is it also removed from the corresponding AWDB table?
4. In review of the agent26: Agent Consolidated Daily Report syntax info located on the WebView, 1 of the calculations uses the LoggedOnTimeToHalf from the Agent_Half_Hour table while the remaining calculations uses the same field from the Agent_Skill_Group_Half_Hour table. Can you please tell me why this is? Why would all of the percent calculations not use the data from the same table? (The % of time Agent paused and/or put a task on hold uses the Agent_Half_Hour Table. All other % calculations uses the same field from the Agent_Skill_Group_Half_Hour Table.)
5. Also in reviewing the agent26: Agent Consolidated Daily Report syntax info, I noticed that it contains the Skill_Group table, the Agent_Half_Hour table and the Media_Routing_Domain table. Both the Skill Group table and the Agen_Half_Hour table contain links to the Media_Routing_Domain table. Which relationship/join is actually utilized for this report?
6. Why doesn't the LoggedOnTimeToHalf field on both the Agent_Half_Hour table and the Agent_Skill_Group_Half_Hour table have the same value in them?
7. On the agent_26: Agent Consolidated Daily Report syntax explanation page, the Agent State Times: Log on Duration says that it is derived using the Agent_Half_Hour.LoggedOnTimeToHalf field, but when i convert this field to HH:MM:SS, it does not match the actual WebView report. But, when I use the Agent_Skill_Group_Half_Hour.LoggedOnTimeToHalfHour, it does match. Which one is correct?
8. On the agent_26: Agent Consolidated Daily Report, why does the Completed Tasks: Transfer Out contain both the TransferredOutCallsToHalf and the NetTransferredOutCallsToHalf fields? What's the difference between the two? What Transfer out data writes to each field?
Thank you.

You need to be careful when looking at the three databases - Logger, AW, HDS - which use the same schema. But many of what appear to be tables in the AW are really views into the t_ tables in the HDS - the data is not there in the AW DB. You are right to look at the schema - but check with SQL Enterprise to understand a bit more.
In essence, the AW DB is for configuration data and real-time data. The HDS is for historical data. You can query the AW DB for (say) Call_Type_Half_Hour data and join with the Call_Type table to resolve the call type ID into its name - but the data is really in the HDS through the view.
The DB design is quite complex and sophisticated - many things are not obvious.
Keep up your research.

Geoff

SQL question- on how to handle groups of records at a time.

Hi,
I have a sql that looks like the following:
insert into INVALID_DATES_TMP
(id, gid, created, t_rowid, updated)
select id, gid, created, rowid, updated
from TABLE1
where fix_invalid_date_pkg.is_date_invalid('TABLE1', 'CREATED', ROWID) = 'Y';
COMMIT;
What the above sql does is selects all rows from TABLE1 where the CREATED column
has invalid dates and inserts them into invalid_dates_tmp table. So we can process/fix
those invalid dates from the temp table. Problem is our DBA said Table1 can have
millions of rows so the above sql can be very database intensive. So, I need to
figure out another way that may handle chunks of rows at a time from table1.
Any ideas are appreciated!
ThankYou,
Radhika.

Hallo,
in general INSERT AS SELECT is the fastest method to insert into the table.
Probably you can use direct load ? (Hint APPEND).
Other options (INSERT IN LOOP or BULK + FORALL) are slower.
I think, this method is optimal.
Another question is, the function itself. It is not clear, whether it searches the invalid dates optimal. I suppose strong, that function uses dynamic SQL.
Why ? It is better to search static . Or you use this function for many other columns ? Could you post the function also ?

DECODE SQL Function - Parsing error in Defining Objects in Universe Designe

Hi,
I have created a class and an object in BO XI R3 Universe designer.
I am getting the parsing error while defining the object when using the custom SQL as
select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu
The object Type is "character", i have tried with Long Text, Number, Date as well and the same sql works fine by returning String values through TOAD.
Do we have any constrains in using DECODE in BO XI R3 or any other syntax please....
Please guide me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi,
1.At back end check the data type for matteraction column and define it accordingly in object definition.
2. Try to break your select clause definition into smaller parts and check it where the exact issue is as below
i.select decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019) ............
ii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE') ..........
iii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu

Parent - child table issue wrt to count - SQL question

I have a scenario:
There are 2 tables (parent and child). lets say, case summary table and task level dimension table.
for every case id in case summary table, there would be multiple tasks in task level dim table with a flag indicator set to 1 for all tasks.
but while counting the number of cases active with flag indicator 1 (ofcourse when joining case summary table with task dimension table), for a case id only 1 instance of task needs to be accounted (even though it has more than one task , for counting active cases, the flag ind corresponding to a task in a case if set to 1 , then the case is considered active)..but while joining and taking count of case ids with flag indicator as 1, you get the count of every task row of a case which is incorrect logically. how to discard the rest of child records of a case in child table (task dimension table)?
I am not sure how to achieve this in sql query
Kindly help!
Case summary table
case id, busininess_unit, agent_name
1001, admin, Ram
1002, Finance, Sam
task table
case id, task_id,task_name, flag_indicator
1001, 1, 'New', 1
1001,2, 'Open',1
1001,3,'In progress',1
1002, 4, 'New', 1
(In fact task_id is not a big deal... even you can assume task id doesn't exist..only task name ... )
now my question... if my query should get the current active cases (ind=1); as per above it should essentially give 2... but my query gives me 4..you know the reason why.. but how do i get the correct count?
Thanks!

may be you need just this:
select count(distinct case_id) from task
where indicator = 1;
If this is not what you are looking for, please elaborate and tell us the expected output and rest of the details as mentioned in FAQ Re: 2. How do I ask a question on the forums?:

SQL Question - Marking multiple columns for given data

Hello everybody,
I have an sql problem that I can't solve.
Any comments, examples or resources will be welcomed about situation. I believe 'net is full of examples like this but I really can't realize how to search this.
My data is something like this:
        ID      CTYPE
         1          1
         1          1
         1          2
         2          4
         3          3
         3          1
         4          5
         5          8
         6          9And desired output is:
ID TYPE1 TYPE2 TYPE3 TYPE4
1     X     X
2                       X
3     X           X      You may reproduce the case with:
drop table bilal_deneme purge;
create table bilal_deneme(id number, ctype number);
insert into bilal_deneme values(1,1);
insert into bilal_deneme values(1,1);
insert into bilal_deneme values(1,2);
insert into bilal_deneme values(2,4);
insert into bilal_deneme values(3,3);
insert into bilal_deneme values(3,1);
insert into bilal_deneme values(4,5);
insert into bilal_deneme values(5,8);
insert into bilal_deneme values(6,9);
select * from bilal_deneme;Thanks in advance.

This may give you a start

SQL question - please help!

Hi,
I am working on a SQL, please help ms with the question
below .... thanks
(1)Increase by 10% salary of these captain pilots who have
traveled more than 800,000 miles.
Routes | | Flights | |Pilots |
| | | | |
#routeID | | #flightNO | |#pilotID |
depAirportID |        | airplaneNO| |*name |
arrAirportID |_______/| pilotID |\___________|*hours_in_air|
length       |       \| routeID |/ |*grade |
______________| |_____________| |*salary |
|____________|

If the length column in routes is in hours, and it represents
additional hours to those shown in hours_in_air in pilots, then
the following should work:
UPDATE pilots
SET salary = salary * 1.1
WHERE pilotid in (SELECT a.pilotid
FROM pilots a,
     (SELECT b.pilotid,sum(c.length) new_hours
      FROM flights b, routes c
      WHERE b.routeid = c.routeid
      GROUP BY b.pilotid) d
WHERE a.pilotid = d.pilotid and
      new_hours + hours_in_air >= 80000)I suspect that you probably need to add additional criteria to
the sub-query from flights and routes to take into account only
flights since the hours_in_air column from pilots was last
updated. However, your table structures do not indicate any
date sensitivity. If the table flights is emptied every time
hours_in_air is updated, then the query above will work.

SQL Question (Select rows with multiple records)

Hello Gurus,
I am learning SQL and have a question. Thanks for your time and help.
I have 2 tables TABLE_AA and TABLE_BB. Both tables have two columns ID, DATA.
TABLE_AA is connected to TABLE_BB through ID field (TABLE_AA.AA_DATA = TABLE_BB.BB_DATA)
TABLE_AA
~~~~~~~
AA_ID______AA_DATA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1111_______XXXX
2222_______QQQQ
3333_______ZZZZZ
4444_______PPPPP
~~~~~~~
TABLE_BB
~~~~~~~
BB_ID BB_DATA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1111_______AAAA
2222_______BBBB
3333_______CCCC
3333_______DDDD
4444_______EEEE
I am looking to get those AA_ID values that have multiple in TABLE_BB for their parent reference in TABLE_BB.
So, from the above example, the sql should return the following as AA_ID 3333 has more than 1 reference value in BB_ID
AA_ID_____BB_ID
~~~~~~~~~~
3333______CCCC
3333______DDDD
