Doubt in using UNION between queries

HI,
Here is my query,
SELECT
     NULL AS NAME,
     NULL AS VDATE,
     'SP' AS OBJECTS
FROM DUAL
UNION
SELECT
     'MURALI' AS NAME,
     SYSDATE AS VDATE,
     NULL
FROM DUAL;
The Result from the query is
NAME----VDATE---OBJECTS
MURALI-- 12/1/2007----
--- ---- SP
But i need the output as
NAME----VDATE---OBJECTS
MURALI-- 12/1/2007----0
0 --- 0 ---- SP
Can anyone help me in this ?

How to use 'UNION' between two different databaseservers

Hello,
Could someone help me out. I am trying to find out if and how to use 'UNION' between two different databaseservers.
We have 2 different queries, each queries on a different database; one MySQL the other MSSQL.
Could someone tell me how to use 'UNION' between thes 2 queries?
Thanks in advance,
Samir Benalla

Hello
You may use openrowset statement, (OPENROWSET (Transact-SQL))., but before you use this, you must configure your server
sample:
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=Seattle1;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
     'SELECT GroupName, Name, DepartmentID
      FROM AdventureWorks2012.HumanResources.Department
      ORDER BY GroupName, Name') AS a
UNION
     SELECT GroupName, Name, DepartmentID
      FROM AdventureWorks2012.HumanResources.Department
      ORDER BY GroupName, Name
With this you can define a connection using native client to server Seattle1, and execute a query there, The results will be spooled on your server.
Connectionstring
Server=[SERVER_NAME];datasource=[YOUR DATABASE NAME];user_id=sa;password=sapassword'
if you use FQDN on your Query, than the datasource parameter in connection string can be letf out.

If so, then it does not "takes less than a sec to execute" but rather to fetch first screen of rows. When you use UNION Oracle has to return distinct rows from both queries. Therefore it must fetch not just first screen but all rows. To verify, issue first query and in yiour GUI tool click on get last screen. Then you'll know how long whole select takes. Do the same for second query. Also, do you need distinct rows or akll rows? IF all rows, change UNION to UNION ALL.

How to use union statement with declare & set function?

Hi Experts,
i have small query about how to use union statement with declare & set function?
Example as below :
DECLARE @name AS date
Declare @name2 AS date
/* SELECT FROM [2013].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
SET @name = /* T0.DocDate */ '[%1]'
SET @name2 = /* T0.DocDate */ '[%2]'
select '2013',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2013.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2013.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum
left join 2013.dbo.oinv t3 on
t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs
inner join 2013.dbo.ocrd t4 on t1.Cardcode = t4.CardCode
inner join [2013].[dbo].[@CQ_RTSM] t5 on t4.U_BeatCode = t5.U_RoutCode
where t2.DcntSum <> 0.000000 and t3.DocDate between [%1] and [%2]
Union
/* SELECT FROM [2014].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
SET @name = /* T0.DocDate */ '[%1]'

You have to create stored procedure in SQL only .
Like u must have create for Crystal .
You can execute procedure in query manager but you have to enter parameter manually..
example
Exec @Test '20140101' '20140501'
Every time user has to enter it manually in yyyymmdd format in case of date parameters.
Example
Create Proc [@Test]
as begin
DECLARE @name AS date
Declare @name2 AS date
/* SELECT FROM [2013].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
select '2013',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2013.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2013.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum
left join 2013.dbo.oinv t3 on
t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs
inner join 2013.dbo.ocrd t4 on t1.Cardcode = t4.CardCode
inner join [2013].[dbo].[@CQ_RTSM] t5 on t4.U_BeatCode = t5.U_RoutCode
where t2.DcntSum <> 0.000000 and t3.DocDate between @Name and @Name2
Union
/* SELECT FROM [2014].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
select '2014',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2014.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2014.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum

t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs

SQL query error using Union

Hello!
I need some correction in the following query. I am trying to make a 2 page QPLD so I am joining 2 queries and then printing the report into 2 pages.

FROM OINS T0 WHERE T0.[U_OANumber] = '[%0]' or T0.[customer] = '[%1]' or T0.[manufSN] = '[%2]'
Union all
SELECT T0.[U_ModelType], T0.[U_Size], T0.[U_Discharge], T0.[U_Head], T0.[U_RPM], T0.[U_YOM], T0.[U_HP],

FROM OINS T0 WHERE
T0.[U_OANumber] = '[%0]' or T0.[customer] = '[%1]' or T0.[manufSN] = '[%2]'
Do I have to use the where clause just once since it is identical to both statements?
I get the error stating that all queries using Union, Intersect or Except must have an equal number of expressions. what does this mean?

Edited by: scorpion 666 on Feb 12, 2009 1:30 PM

Union has to have exact same numbers of fields to combine two results. Your query shows no need of union because your where clauses are identical.
Right syntax would be like this:
SELECT T0.[U_OANumber], T0.[custmrName], T0.[U_Inspection], T0.[U_Cust_PO_Num],
T0.[U_ModelType], T0.[U_Duty], T0.[U_NamePlate],
T0.[U_Indicator_Obs], T0.[U_Fastners], T0.[U_Mounting_Type], T0.[U_Casing_Orientation], T0.[U_Impeller_Dia],
T0.[U_Bearing_Style], T0.[U_Motor_HP_Size], T0.[U_InsulationWedges], T0.[U_Varnish], T0.[U_Paint_Shade],
T0.[U_PlugsSeal], T0.[U_Remarks], T0.[U_Despatch], T0.[U_Size], T0.[U_Discharge], T0.[U_Head], T0.[U_RPM], T0.[U_YOM], T0.[U_HP],
T0.[U_Amps], T0.[U_Insulation_Class], T0.[U_Winding_Connection]
FROM DBO.OINS T0 WHERE T0.[U_OANumber] = '[%0]' or T0.[customer] = '[%1]' or T0.[manufSN] = '[%2]'

Using 2 Universe Queries in Crystal Reports

Hi,
I am trying to use Universe queries in a Crystal report.
I want to use 2 Universe queries and then link the common dimensions between them using the Database Expert, is these similar to merge dimensions in Web Intelligence?. Is it possible? Or how can I do to merge objects that came from 2 Universe queries?
My problem is when I tried to execute the report, Crystal Reports get stuck.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Diana

Performance using union

I am using union of around 6 queries in a report. The same query in the database runs faster where as the report takes long time. Please suggest what can be done.
thanks,
deep

Since union does an extra sort it has a performance difference compared to union all.

HRİf there is up to date and appropriate object statistics Oracle's Cost Based Optimizer will choose best access path, join method and join order depending on your query. Only exceptions are hints, outlines and sql profiles since they stabilize the execution plan.

Find intersection/union between two maps

Hello.
I'm trying to find out state changes between two maps.
I have two maps A and B, what I need to do is to find keys in A that doesn't exists in B and keys in B that doesn't exist in A.
If keys exists in both A and B I want to compare the values of those keys.
What would be the most effective way to implement this.
My first plan was to loop through the keys in A to find in B and loop through keys in B and find in A but I guess there is a more effective algorithm.
I'm also thinking about using java.util.Collections to find intersection/union between the keys in the maps but then I need to do a lookup in both
maps.
Any suggestions?
Regards
/Fredrik

Fredrik wrote:
My scenario is this:
I'm writing a Swing app for administration of a clustered environment.
The keys in the map contains ip-address of cluster nodes, the value is a status/state for a node in the cluster.
I want to signal state change for the node in the GUI.
A state change happens if there is a new node in the cluster which means a new entry in the map since last checked or if a node
leaves the cluster a remove of entry in the map since last checked or if the status/state for the entry/ip has changed since last checked.
Regards
/FredrikBy your above senario, i don't think you have two objects of Map, there is only one object and you want to signal the change in GUI, whenever a object is added , removed or only value is changed (Key is same) to the Map.
Then i'll suggest below things:
1) to override hashcode and equal method. (Because whenever the put or putAll methods are called the hashcode and equal method checks in the bucket for equal and similar hashcode, and if its equal , then change the GUI for the existing Map).
2) As suggested earlier, override remove methods. (Whenever any object is removed, accordingly you can change the GUI).
3) As suggested earlier, override put and putAll method( whenever a new object is added, accordingly you can change the GUI).
And for this, i don't think you have iterate through the Map.

Error while adding a used relationship between the New DC and the Web DC

Hi Gurus
We are getting the Error in NWDS while Adding a used relationship between the New DC and the Web DC.
Steps what we are Done

3.After that we changed the application.xml and given the contect path.
4.Then we tried to add Dependency to the custom create DC we are getting the error saying that illegal deppendency : the compartment sap.com_CUSTCRMPRJ_1 of DC sap.com/home/b2b_xyz(sap.com.CUSTCRMPRJ_1) must explicitly use compartment sap.com_SAP-SHRWEB_1 of DC sap.com/crm/isa/ like that it was throwing the error.

Please help us in this regard.
Awaiting for ur quick response...

Hi
Please Ignore my above message.
Thanks for ur Response.
After ur valuble inputs we have added the required dependencies and sucessfully created the projects, then building of the projects was also sucessfully done and EAR file was created.
We need to deploy this EAR file in CRM Application Server by using the interface NWDI.
For Deploying the EAR into NWDI, we need to check-in the activites what i have created for EAR. once i check-in the activites ,the NWDI will deploy the EAR into CRM Application Server.
In the Activity Log we are able to check the Activities as Suceeded but the Deployment column is not showing any status.
When i right click on my activity Id the deployment summery is also disabled.
So finally my Question is that where can i get the deployment log file, and where can i check the deployment status for my application..
Any pointers in this regard would be of great help..
Awaiting for ur valuble Responses..

Adding new column in an existing report which was build using Union

While working in OBIEE 11g I encounter an issue.
My existing report was build using UNION at Criteria Tab in Analysis. Now I have a requirement to add a new column into the same report. For each criteria I have added the new column but when I go back to the "Result Columns". I see a new field added but it is not allowing me to open or edit column properties for that new column & at the same time it is not allowing me to navigate to other tabs like Results, Promts, and Advanced.
I don’t want to build this report from scratch. Is there any workaround to get it resolved?

Hi,
Just check it once the new added column data types are mismatched or not?
and the new added column should be navigated into excluded section, so u should edit the report and dragged into the table column section.
Thanks..
