Equivalent of Hierarchy SQL in Oracle

Hi All,
We have some performance issues with 'CONNECT BY PRIOR' SQL statement and trying to find an alternate SQL which gives the same output.
Example:
ENum Mgr
Julie
Andrew Julie
Mark Andrew
Matt Andrew
Wyatt Julie
Jenny Wyatt
SELECT enum, mgr FROM <table> START WITH enum IS NULL
CONNECT BY PRIOR enum = mgr;
Output:
Julie
---Andrew
------Mark
------Matt
---Wyatt
------Jenny
---Joel
How do I get the same output without using CONNECT BY PRIOR command. I dont mind creating a new table that will keep all the possible combinations between enum and mgr columns.
Please provide your solution. I really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Rao

We have some performance issues with 'CONNECT BY PRIOR' SQL statementWhat is the explain plan for the query?
what is the tkprof output for the query?
what optimizer is in use?
how stats are generated, if they are?
what is the data volume in the source table?
how much time does the query take currently?
where is the resultset of the query consumed - asp, jsp, java, vb.net ....?

Looking for the oracle equivalent of T-SQL 'SELECT TOP n'

Hi,
I'm looking for the Oracle equivalent of T-SQL 'SELECT TOP n'
and can't find any. There is SAMPLE(n) function but it supposed
to pick up random values and I'm not sure if it's possible to
make it select top values. Please help 8-)
Thanx

Hi Marina.
Oracle does not have a functionality like SQL Server for TOP
selection. The ROWNUM option should be used with great care and
you may get unreliable results.
Try looking at Metalink

Oracle equivalent for MS Sql Server WITH(NOLOCK)

Hi all :-)
What is the equivalent of MS Sql Server WITH(NOLOCK)
hint in Oracle ... or ... how can I achieve the same
effect in Oracle SELECT queries ?

= dirty read .
to the op : read the concepts guide before going further; Oracle implements a different concurrency model than SQL Server

SQL Server Oracle If else differences

I have a query in SQL Server 2008 that uses an if statement to determine how the SQL is returned. It is fairly complex but here it is in its basic form.
declare @granularity varchar(20);
begin
set @granularity = 'Month';
if (@granularity = 'Month')
begin
select count(*) as DisplayCount, yearstep, monthstep
from MyTable
group by yearstep, monthstep
order by yearstep, monthstep
end
else
if (@granularity = 'Year')
begin
select count(*) as DisplayCount, yearstep
from MyTable
group by yearstep
order by yearstep
end
end
Originally I thought the conversion would be as easy as changing the @ to :, adding a then and an end if. Not so....
Can anyone show what the Oracle equivalent would be?
Edited by: user497094 on Aug 20, 2010 12:51 PM

If you use SQL Developer tool, you have a translator to translate T-SQL to Oracle PL/SQL language.
For your example, you should get:
BEGIN
v_granularity := 'Month' ;
IF ( v_granularity = 'Month' ) THEN
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) DisplayCount,
yearstep,
monthstep
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY yearstep,monthstep
ORDER BY yearstep,
monthstep;
END;
ELSE
IF ( v_granularity = 'Year' ) THEN
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) DisplayCount,
yearstep
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY yearstep
ORDER BY yearstep;
END;
END IF;
END IF;
END;
I hope it helps youi

Translating ms-access sql to oracle sql

I would like to translate this ms-access sql to oracle sql.
SELECT

Thanks in advance for your help.

For an equivalent of IIF, look at CASE or DECODE. For LEN use LENGTH.
A business rule that says elementary and middle schools can always be identifed by the length of their codes sounds rather unreliable, though.

       )Can someone help me...maybe point out what I'm doing wrong.
Note: I also tried creating this query in Microsoft Query (the simple way) and when I first create it...it works...But then if I go back in to edit the query, and refresh the query or try to Return data to Excel, it gives me a ORA-00936 error message.
Why it works when I first create the query in Excel, I don't know. But I have to validate the queries I'm creating (SQL or not) and I can't validate it if every time I go into edit the query (which may have to happen; that's why I have to fix this before I can submit my validation).
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I know I'm replying to my own threads here...but I want to add a little bit more information again.
I was successful in figuring out that changing the :criteria to a ? worked.
I tested this on 1 criteria at a time. Adding one more scenario ? at at time.
It only worked up until about 3 scenarios of each criteria.
Then when I refreshed the query in Microsoft Excel Query, I got an "out of memory" error, and then it ended up just erasing the SQL I had been using.
Here's the SQL I had where it gave me this error. Am I possibly just making Excel work too hard? It just doesn't make sense because Toad for Oracle handled it in like 4 seconds. Which brings me back to an intial question I had. Can Excel use Toad for Oracle somehow?
Here's the code:

SQL to Oracle Migraton - Unable to create source model in Migration Workben

We are trying to use Oracle Migration Workbench utility to transfer data from SQL to Oracle. when we start creating the source model we get the following error :-
failed to load source model ora-01401 inserted value too large for column.. this is the error at the ss2k_syslogins table. this is a logical model creation from sql server db.
In case if this is a data issue with the syslogins table/view, is there any way to overcome this or whether we can do any settings at Workbench Level to overcome this..
Thanks in advance,
John.

I think I figured it out.
1 - I used the Migration Work Bench that came with the 9.2.0.1 client - BAD IDEA.
2 - I down loaded the OMWB (10.x) - GOOD IDEA. I also downloaded the plugins so that the versions would match each other. Get rid of any existance of the 'old' OMWB directory under the OracleHome, so as not to get confused.
3 - I realized that you just extract the OMWB.zip file to the C: drive like some third world DOS application, so it won't show up in under your start menu.**
**I find this kinda cheesy that the Oracle installer is not involved here to add it to the Oracle Configuration and Migration menu in start up. I suppose you can copy the unzipped struture over top of the existing clint directory structure, but still dumb.
3 - The other odd piece, you down load the plugin as a zip (and not a jar), BUT DON'T UNZIP IT!! Rather place it in the ..\plugins directory, underneath wherever you unzipped the OMWB, and RENAME IT with a .JAR extension (again don't unzip).
4 - Make a shortcut on your desktop to the omwb.bat file (from where ever you unzipped the OMWB product)
5 - Fire up that icon and the product will look at the new .JAR in the plugin folder and 'tada', you have OMWB with your specific database plugin available.
The new product didn't hang for me. Now I just need to figure out how port this into a shema name OF MY CHOSING, and not the generic OMWB_Login1 that it created.
I f anyone has info on that, let me know.... I think its in the destination creation (step two of the whole process).

thanks for your answer, but I asked to use sql loader instead of the external table, which so my question is why can not the epochtime converted to datetime, if there is no way to convert a datetime epochtime using sql loader, so I'm required to use the external table. thank you.
This is my error log:
Column Name Position Len Term Encl Datatype
DATADATA FIRST * , CHARACTER
SQL string for column : "TO_DATE('1-Jan-1970 00:00:00','dd-MM-YYYY hh24:mi:ss') + (:DATADATA/60/60/24)"
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table TEMP_TEST_LANGY, column DATADATA.

How to validate XML Digital Signature with XML DB (o PL/SQL) in Oracle 11g

Hi,
Do you know if there is possibility to validate XML Digital Signature using XML DB (or PL/SQL) in Oracle 11g?
Let say I have CLOB/XMLType containing Digitally Signed XML, and I want to validate, that thsi is proper signature. I also have public key of signer (I could store it in CLOB or file or Oracle wallet).
Is it possible to do?
If there is need to install additional component - then which one?
Regards,
Paweł

Hi,
this is what i got from someone...
but the links he gave are not opening up...
u have to place a picture there and have to load the digital signatures as Jpegs on to the server to OA top
and have to refer them in the XML for dynamically get the signature on the reports
when u select the properties of the picture placed in the XML template,
there will be one tab with "URL"... in that u have to give the path for that jpegs
Pls refer the following documents for enabling digital signature on pdf documents.
http://iasdocs.us.oracle.com/iasdl/bi_ee/doc/bi.1013/e12187/T421739T481159.htm#5013638 (refer section 'Adding or Designating a Field for Digital Signature'
http://iasdocs.us.oracle.com/iasdl/bi_ee/doc/bi.1013/e12188/T421739T475591.htm#5013688
(Implementing a Digital Signature
Is the BI Publisher installed on your instance of version 10.1.3.4 or higher?
Pls procure a digital signature as soon as possible. The process can take time. OR we could use any certificate that you already might have OR generate a certificate using Oracle Certificate Authority for demo.

Embedded SQL against Oracle Question

Software: Forte 3.0.J.
Server Platform: HPUX 10.2
Database: Oracle
Problem Description: During the course of development, I ran into a
problem using multiple columns in an sql UPDATE/SET statement. I was trying
to update a.COLUMN_1 and a.COLUMN_2, which constitute part of the primary
key of associative TABLE_A (a). In order for me to make the update, I
needed to use the existing value of a.COLUMN_1 to lookup the new b.COLUMN_1
in TABLE_B (b). Where a.COLUMN_1 = b.RELATED_COLUMN_1, I am able to find
each b.COLUMN_2 that correspond to each a.COLUMN_2.
I was able to resolve the issue by separating the two columns so
that each had it's own select statement. Theoretically, it appears that
this shouldn't work, because the SET statement for a.COLUMN_1 would cause
the a.COLUMN_1 reference in the select statement of a.COLUMN_2 to be
overwritten.
In spite of this, I tried it, and it worked. I would like to
understand why the sql works, and how sql actually executes the statement.
Here is the sql:
UPDATE TABLE_A a
SET a.COLUMN_1 =
(SELECT DISTINCT b1.COLUMN_1
FROM TABLE_B b1
WHERE b1.RELATED_CASE_ID =
a.COLUMN_1 AND
b1.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI'),
a.COLUMN_2=
(SELECT DISTINCT b2.COLUMN_2
FROM TABLE_B b2
WHERE b2.RELATED_COLUMN_1=
a.COLUMN_1 AND
b2.RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD = 'NEPHI' AND
b2.RELATED_COLUMN_2= a.COLUMN_2)
WHERE a.COLUMN_1 = 100
The table structure is as follows:
TABLE_A: (primary keys are bolded) This is an associative table.
Column_1 and Column_2 comprise the pk of one table; Column_3 and Column_4
comprise the pk of another table. Assume that the Column_1 and Column_2
values replacing the original values already exist in the parent table of
which they form the pk).
COLUMN_1
COLUMN_2
COLUMN_3
COLUMN_4
COLUMN_5
TABLE_B: (primary keys are bolded) This is a reference table.
COLUMN_1
COLUMN_2
RELATED_COLUMN_1
RELATED_COLUMN_2
RELATED_COLUMN_TYPE_CD

If you do an explain plan or set autotrace on against this update statement,
you'll find that the select operations are actually executed first by Oracle
- I believe because of the nature of the transaction. Thus, no problem.
