Is there an equivalent in maxdb 7.6 to Oracle's rownum in a select statement?

ROWNO is the keyword you are looking for

  • Abap equivalent for  'rownum'

    Dear All,
               I want to fetch any 5 records from a table without using internal table.Basically  I want an abap equivalent for the 'rownum' keyword in oracle.
    For e.g.
    select * from emp where rownum <  5.
    How can this be done in abap?
    Yours truly,
    Ratish

    Hi,
    you can use Select * upto 5 rows
                                 from mara  into wa_mara
                        where <condition>
                        end select.

  • Equivalent to TRUNCATE in Oracle Lite?

    Short of dropping and recreating a table, is there any way to free up space in Oracle Lite - equivalent to the TRUNCATE command in Oracle?

    TRUNCATE command is supported by Oracle Lite. However, it is basically the same as DELETE command, the database size won't get decreased.

    3. Week_ISO which gives week of the year.to_char(date_column, 'YYYYWW') is what I think is the equivalent. Check
    SQL> ed
    écrit fichier afiedt.buf
      1  select to_char(to_date('01012005','DDMMYYYY'),'YYYYWW'),
      2         to_char(to_date('01012005','DDMMYYYY'),'YYYYIW')
      3* from dual
    SQL> /
    TO_CHA TO_CHA
    200501 200553
    SQL> WW is week number from 1 (first january) to 53.
    IW is ISO week number : in this case, there is an error, the 1st january 2005 is the 52d week of year 2004. Check the doc :

  • Need a function equivalent to PERCENTILE_CONT for Oracle 8i

    I have been using PERCENTILE_CONT in Oracle 9i to find median and quantiles. Now, I need to run similar queries on a different database that is only Oracle 8i. Is there an equivalent function that I can use to give Quantiles?

    I've read the description of percentile_cont several times now, and I still don't understand it (never was good at statistics anyway, still don't understand why a flush beats a straight). there was no function in 8i, but is it possible to do it by combining other functions? not understanding what it does, I don't know.
    otherwise, all the analytics I've used can be solved by joining or outer-joining a table to itself - that's how we used to do them. for example, for SUM() OVER you join the table to itself, using = on all the selected columns expect the column you want to sum, that column becomes a <=. then group by all the columns in one isntance of the table, and sum the column from the other instance of it.
    some things might need to join the table 3 times, or use outer-joins. doing that give you the ability to know, on any given row, the total number of rows, it's RANK or ROW_NUMBER, etc.
    hope this helps. if you understand how percentile_cont works, you could probably construct a query yourself

  • SQL Server Equivalent of this for Oracle.

    I was just wondering if anyone know of any links similar to this(http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/12c/r1/poster/OUTPUT_poster/poster.html#).
    The fifth tab has an extremely informative picture of the architecture. Anything similar to that for SQL would be really handy.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Multi thread and deadlocks

    I am running dataload from a text file to MS SQL SRVR database. The jobs are running in multi thread mode. I am getting deadlock errors with threads.
    each thread is supposed to delete records.
    with single thread mode log file order is as below
    1. get product to be deleted A
    2. delete A
    3. get product to be deleted B
    4. delete B
    5. get product to be deleted C
    6 delete C
    with multi thread mode
    1. get product to be deleted A
    2. get product to be deleted B
    3. get product to be deleted C
    4. get product to be deleted D
    5. delete A
    6. get product to be deleted E
    7. get product to be deleted F
    8. deadlock while deleteing the product B
    Any clues what is going wrong here?
    Here is the code for the delete method:
    ================================
    PreparedStatement prepStatement = null;
    System.out.println("get product to be deleted " + product);
    prepStatement = conn.prepareStatement("delete from MYTABLE where product = ? ");
    prepStatement.setString(1, product);
    prepStatement.executeUpdate();
    ================================
    Please note that only unique data is sent to each thread.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the responses. I need to do update/insert new records after delete operation is completed. Later at the end of the db changes, i close the connection.
    From my understanding deadlocks happen when both threads try to touch the same record same time. But, i am sending unique records for each thread. Unless these is somethign wrong with the query, it should always return unique values.
    This is the query that sends unique records for each thread in sql srvr.
    select distinct top ? columnA, columnB from MyTable where processed = 'FALSE' and columnB = ? "
    This should be equivalent of oracle query
    select distinct columnA, columnB from MyTable where columnB=? rownum > ? and rownum <= ?
    if the top in sql srvr is equivalent to rownum in oracle then i always get distinct records and there should be no deadlocks.
    Any help?
    Thanks

  • WITH clause equivalent in oracle 8i

    Hi friends,
    The "WITH" clause is very well supported in Oracle 9i. Is there any equivalent ways to use it in Oracle 8i?
    Regards
    J.B

    Dear J. B.!
    No, there isn't an equivalent for WITH in Oracle 8i. The only workaround for you is to build inline views in the FROM-Clause of your statements. Please have a look at the following link. It shows some example using a WITH-Clause and the equivalent SQL-Statements with an inline view.

  • Oracle equivalent of "With"

    Hello
    I have to convert sql procedure to Oracle procedure and it uses the common table expression "With"
    can some one tell me if there is an equivalent of "with" in Oracle
    It is being used like this.
    with bcount (Bookid, [count]) as
    select b.Bookid as Bookid, count(b.bookid) as [Count]
    from Book b (nolock)
    group by b.Bookid
    select i.Bookid, bcount.[count], count(i.Bookid)
    from inventory i (nolock)
    inner join bcount on bcount.bookid = i.Bookid
    group by i.Bookid, bcount.[count]
    having bcount.[count] - count(i.Bookid) > 3
    DO you think using a composite data type is a good option?
    thank you

  • Oracle equivalent of a variable in MS SQL Server

    Hi,
    I need the equivalent sql statement in oracle... Sounds real simple, but I cant seem to the the Oracle syntax
    (MS SQL syntax)
    declare @id integer
    set @id = (select min(tranid) from tbltransaction)
    select * from tbltransaction where tranid = @id
    Above is a real simple example of what I want to do... I need to get a date, then use that date in a second query
    The real query needs to get a date first, then execute a query based on that date. When I tried using a subquery that gets the date; it causes the job to run over an hour....
    Currently I manually get the date (under 10 seconds) then enter the date into the query and run it (about 20 minutes)

    here is how you do in Oracle PL/SQL :
    declare
    my_date date;
    my_col my_tbl.col1%type;
    begin
    select date_col into my_date
    from date_tbl where <where clause>;
    select col1 into my_col
    from my_tbl where date_col = my_date;
    exception
    <handle exceptions>
    end;
    There is one thing to note in PL/SQL, if your select query returns more than one row then either you've to use a collection variable or use a cursor.

  • Equivalent keyword in Oracle for QUALIFY of Teradata

    Hi,
    In teradata database we can write a query like below :
    select sls_doc_id, sls_dlvr_doc_id, rank() over (partition by sls_dlvr_doc_id order by sls_dlvr_doc_id) rn
    from cdp_analysis.v_sls_dlvr_doc_dtl
    QUALIFY rn > 1;
    If I want to write an equivalent thing in Oracle then I can write an equivalent like below :
    select sls_doc_id, sls_dlvr_doc_id
    from
    select sls_doc_id, sls_dlvr_doc_id, rank() over (partition by sls_dlvr_doc_id order by sls_dlvr_doc_id) rn
    from cdp_analysis.v_sls_dlvr_doc_dtl
    where rn > 1;
    I just want to know is any keyword exist in Oracle which is equivalent to QUALIFY of Teradata?
    Regards,
    Koushik

    Nope. There is no equivalent of QUALIFY in Oracle. Which is a shame, as having read up about it, I can see it would be useful to have. Ditto the ability to use expression aliases in GROUP BY clauses.

  • Connecting via Datasource - Oracle equivalent to DB2DataSource

    Hi
    Have anybody use to connect to oracle via Datasource (using JNDI rather using driver managers) for J2EE (no EJB) development ? (I use WSAD 5.0)
    I had in DB2 there is a class called "DB2DataSource " coming from a package COM.ibm.db2.jndi.DB2InitialContextFactory..
    By digging into Oracle documents in their site they said use following to get InitialContextFactory...
    import com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource;
    import com.evermind.server;
    Also I included jndi.jar in the project.
    Still I am getting error for above two packages. Where does these packages reside.
    (I have oracle 9i free downloaded version installed)
    What is OC4J ?
    Oracle also said JNDI will beloaded by OC4J.
    Thanks
    Mei

    Hi all
    Thanks for not responding to my question.
    I found that the oracle equivalent package was,
    import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
    I am all set..

  • Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

    Hi,
    I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
    Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
    Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
    rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
    1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
    2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

    I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle  App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle  App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release.  I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
    Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
    Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
    Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?
