Finding duplications

Hello all
I got this SQL:
select a.request_id rid,a.parameter23 pCheck,decode(a.parameter24, 'Group',c.Parameter9,c.Parameter10) unit1
from kcrt_requests_v a, KNTA_REferences b, kcrt_request_details c
where a.request_type_name='doctors' and a.batch_number=2 and a.request_id=b.source_id
and b.parameter1=31174 and c.request_id=a.request_id and c.batch_number=1
I need to write a sql query to find out if there are rows with the same pCheck and unit1.
what is the best way to do it?
Cris

You can check this -
select a.request_id rid,
       a.parameter23 pCheck,
       decode(a.parameter24, 'Group',c.Parameter9,c.Parameter10) unit1
from kcrt_requests_v a,
     KNTA_REferences b,
     kcrt_request_details c
where a.request_type_name = 'doctors'
and a.batch_number = 2
and a.request_id = b.source_id
and b.parameter1 = 31174
and c.request_id = a.request_id
and c.batch_number = 1
having count(pCheck) > 1 and count(unit1) > 1
group by rid,pCheck,unit1N.B.: Not Tested..

  • Find duplication values from multiple columns in a big table

    Hi All,
    I am working on a 11gR2 database in linux. i want to display record that have duplicate values in 2 columns.
    1. Table Structure :-
    CREATE TABLE A
    ID NUMBER(10),
    F_NAME VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
    L_NAME VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
    2. Sample Data:-
    Insert into A
    (ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (1,'TONY' ,'SUMIT');
    Insert into A
    (ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (2,'SUMIT' ,'KEITH');
    Insert into A
    (ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (3,'NORA','SMITH');
    Insert into A
    (ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (4,'APRIL','TONY');
    Insert into A
    (ID, F_NAME, L_NAME) Values (5,'ROSS','TAM');
    ID F_NAME L_NAME
    1 TONY SUMIT
    2 SUMIT KEITH
    3 NORA SMITH
    4 APRIL TONY
    5 ROSS TAM
    4. My requirement is i need display IDs that it's F_NAME or L_NAME has duplication in F_NAME or L_NAME columns.
    The result should be
    ID
    1 reason: F_NAME (TONY) equals to L_NAME of record 4, L_NAME (SUMIT) equals to F_NAME of record 2
    2 reason: F_NAME (SUMIT) equals to L_NAME of record 1
    4 reason: L_NAME (TONY) equals to F_NAME of record 1
    record 3, 5 aren't in the result because there is no duplication in F_NAME or L_NAME columns for NORA,SMITH, ROSS, TAM
    The table contains 10 million records, i really need to consider the performance.
    kindly suggest me the solution

    Note: Forum members please suggest better approach to this -- below.. convert into SQL :)
    I know I will be opposed by many people in this forum for posting such in-efficient solution.
    But trying to learn along with you.. its an interesting problem which must deal with all rows vs all rows to get all combinations.
    But I am still thinking how to write it in SQL, probably will learn from this post after we receive some good SQL solution for the code what I am currently doing now.
    step 1: created a table B similar to table A and added a column reason
    CREATE TABLE B

  • Matching Scenarios

    Hi guys,
    I like to know the features and improvement holes in SAP MDM regarding data quality management. For example, If we have Customer name like George and other record is also the same Customer but written differently like Gorge. I think here SAP MDM fails to find duplication records by their Soundex.
    Second improvement hole is like if I have a repository where I have maintained 100 of users and user roles. Is it not like awful I have to repeat them again in one other repository.
    Questions.
    1. Any recommended reading where I can find such improvement holes in SAP MDM 5.5
    2. User management problem for several repositories.
    3. Matching with Soundex feature like we find normally in RDBMS "Oracle"
    Regards,
    Naeem

    Hi Naeem,
    The Problem of Soundex can be solved within MDM by using the Transformation feature.
    - In the MDM data manger under the matching mode,you have a tab for Transformation.
    - Here you can create Transformations which will identify George and Gorge as identical duplicates.
    - You need to transform Geoge To George,This will make the transformation only virtual and not in reality,but however MDM will recognize them in the Data manager and select them as possible dupliacates.
    - By given a high score.
    - The only disadvantage in using this feature is that if you have many records with this kind of transformations,you will have to manually do it for each,before running the Strategy.
    Kindly refer the below Link,to understand how this works.
    MDM Matching Strategies for Master Data Consolidation
    Regarding reusing the created Roles and Users in one rep into another.
    - There are 3 different ways to transport your Roles and Users from one rep to another.
    - Archieve/Unarchieve, Duplicate Rep, and Export/Import Schema.
    - The Export/Import schema option is less preferred as the roles and the users will get transported however their pwd if set any may get resetted.
    - However with the Archieve and Duplicate option you will get all the Roles and users replicated.
    - The drawback being ,there is no option in MDM to transport just the Role and Users,you entire Repository structure will get transported.
    - So if you want to reuse the same roles on to a differnt rep,then manul work will involve.
    Regarding Data Quality, MDM's latest release 7.1 has additional facilities to handle data quality aspects in MDM.
    Have a look at the Presentation which explains all the new upcoming features to be included in MDM 7.1:

  • What or where is my start up disc?

    I keep getting messages that my start up disc is full.  I get rid of duplications (earlier versions of my current programs), but still get the message. So I wonder where I should find the most useless stuff to delete.  For instance, I find duplications in iTunes and iPhoto, and wonder if that is enough to free up my start up disc.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
    See Lion's Storage Display.
    You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
    Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
    Remember that must moving files into the Trash does not delete them completely. You must also Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    I would consider replacing the drive with a larger one.

  • How do I delete images in Finder's "all my Files" when I have the same pictures in a file in Documents? It seems like a lot of duplication. If I delete the individual image it disappears in the folder. Thank You.

    How do I delete images in Finder's "all my files" without deleting the images in a separate folder I have in Documents? It seems to be so much duplication. Just set up our new Mac and am not understanding how the files work. Thank you.

    All My files is a "search folder"
    it isn't real storage location. All files within your home folder are found by the criteria set for the search folder and displayed to you In one place.
    If the folder doesn't meet your needs, remove it from the sidebar.

  • I've moved iTunes to an external hard drive now have massive duplication of albums

    Recently moved my iTunes folder to an external hard drive. Used the Itunes preferences to transfer the itunes folder to a new location. Didn't transfer it manually or by drag and drop! Followed this - I hope correctly - by using the iTunes/File/Library/Organise Library tool. May have got this bit wrong....
    Result?.........
    Here we see, in the second column, that I have both an 'iTunes Music' folder and a folder simply called 'Music' (Highlighted in red). You'll have to take my word for it but these folders have different amounts of music in them. Some is duplicated, some albums are split across the two folders. Howwever, most empty folders are in the 'iTunes Music' folder, whereasost complete folders are in the 'Music' folder! In addition, There's a 'Compilations' folder within the 'iTunes Music' folder (highlighted in blue with a red arrow) which has a small number of compilations most of which I've never selected as compilations.
    Note the repetition of folders called 'Automatically add to iTunes' in both the 'iTunes' folder and the 'iTunes Music' folder. There's another one of these in the 'iTunes Media' folder.
    Going further in.....
    Here we have the 'Music' folder in the 'iTunes' folder. It has its own 'Compilations' folder which is even larger and more irrelevent than the previous one. It also has way more album folders than the 'iTunes Music' folder itself.
    If I use the  iTunes/File/Library/Organise Library procedure the splash screen that comes up allows me to choose the first optiuon but the second one is greyed out.
    One of the results of this is duplicated albums on my iPhone, another is randomly missing tracks in my collection. In addition, my iTunes screen saver now has duplicate album covers and many album covers that I know I've downloaded at high resolution have just gone missing making my iPhone look like its been populated by a chimp! (no offence to our cousins) Where I've discovered a missing track I've used the 'File/ Add to library' procedure. In one case it copied an album folder from the 'iTunes Music' folder where I found it into the 'Music' folder on another occasion exactly the same procedure left the album precisely where it was.
    BTW, I have another iTunes folder on my Mac with all the normal stuff in it but only music that I had to add whilst nopt connected to my hard drive.
    How can I remove this massive duplication safely?
    How can I consolidate my files efficiently without having to go through each folder separately?
    How can I remove all these albums from 'Compilations' and prtevent other albums being added?
    How can I get all my album artwork back in sync?
    Phew!
    Thanks!

    The folders and files are all normal to a basic iTunes library. They would be there even if you didn't have a single media file.  Until you start up with the option key held down, iTunes will keep on looking for your library on the internal drive and will repopulate that folder with those basics if you delete them.  You should have a similar folder with contents on your external and that is the one you want iTunes to use.  As long as you keep it all intact while copying from one drive to the other, iTunes will be internally consistent and you won't even have to change preferences.
    Preferences window
    iTunes Media folder location: Just that; where iTunes keeps media. This is not necessarily where the library files (which are what ties the whole thing together) are to be found.
    Keep Media Folder Organized - put all your files in folders according to type and name and album etc.
    Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder - put it this way, if you didn't have that checked itunes would leave the files wherever you had them when you added them to the library. this one makes sure there is a copy (though not necessarily the only one, but the only on iTunes uses) in your media folder.
    What actions take place when itunes "consolidate library" is used?
    When you consolidate iTunes looks at all the files you have listed in iTunes and puts them in the location indicated by your media file preference.  I don't think it hunts around your drive looking for things that aren't in the library, it just places a copy of those that are innto your media folders.  If you want a searching tool you'll have to use a script that does that kind of job.
    Your original images are not showing for me so I can't tell what exactly you are seeing.
    Again, what I would do given what you have told me is I would make sure iTunes is using the library on the external by holding down the option key while starting iTunes (you only neeed to do that once).  If you find there are files on your internal drive that are not in the library on the external then add those and iTunes will place a copy on hte external if you have that "copy files..." preference checked.  You'll lose a few things such as playcounts, ratings, on those.  If you absolutely must keep those there are a few tricks that can be performed but that's another very long post.

  • How to prevent duplication on a column with condition

    Hello everyone,
    I need some advice here. At work, we have an Oracle APEX app that allow user to add new records with the automatic increment decision number based on year and group name.
    Says if they add the first record , group name AA, for year 2012, they get decision number AA 1 2013 as their displayed record casein the report page.
    The second record of AA in 2013 will be AA 2 2013.
    If they add about 20 records , it will be AA 20 2013.
    The first record for 2014 will be AA 1 2014.
    However, recently , we get a user complaint about two records from the same group name have the same decision number.
    When I looked into the history table, and find that the time gap between 2 record is just about 0.1 seconds.
    Besides, we have lookup table that allows admin user to update the Start Sequence number with the restraint that it has to be larger than the max number of the current group name of the current year.
    This Start sequence number and group name is stored together in a table.
    And in some other special case,user can add a duplicate decision number for related record. (this is a new function)
    The current procedure logic to add new record on the application are
    _Get max(decision_number) from record table with chosen Group Name and current year.
    _insert into the record table the new entered record with decision number + 1
    _ update sequence number to the just added decision number.
    So rather than utitlising APEX built-in automatic table modification process, I write a procedure that combine all the three process.
    I run some for loop to continuously execute this procedure, and it seems it can autotically generate new unique decision number with time gap about 0.1 second.
    However, when I increase the number of entry to 200, and let two users run 100 each.
    If the time gap is about 0.01 second, Duplicate decision numbers appear.
    What can I do to prevent the duplication ?
    I cannot just apply a unique constraint here even for all three columns with condition, as it can have duplicate value in some special condition. I don't know much about using lock and its impact.
    This is the content of my procedure

    Why not using a sequence for populating the decision_number column ?
    Sequence values are guaranteed to be unique so there's no need to lock anything.
    You'll inevitably have gaps and no different groups will have the same decision_number in common.
    Having to deal with consecutive numbers fixations you can proceed as
    with
    case_record as
    (select 2012 decision_year,'AA' group_abbr,1 decision_number from dual union all
    select 2012,'BB',2 from dual union all
    select 2012,'AA',21 from dual union all
    select 2012,'AA',22 from dual union all
    select 2012,'BB',25 from dual union all

    select 2013,'CC',34 from dual union all

  • How can I find duplicate photos without going through all 5000  one at a time?

    How can I find duplicate photos withough going through all 5000 one by one?  I have numerous duplications and used to be able to click on Edit and Find Duplicates and could clean up all the duplicates easily.  Now that option is gone.  I still have lots to delete.

    I do backup everything using Carbonite.Please don't tell me it is bad, too :-)  Also, especially with photo files, I do have other backups of those I am concerned about. Probably not the best in the world, but a log better than many people who I know about.
    Again, I really have not seen any problems with MacKeeper.  I imagine that if people do not read and follow instructions, they could have problems. For example, it is possible to scan all your files and see them in order of size. If you start deleting things, without knowing what you're deleting, you could cause trouble. Even when the computer scans for so-called junk files, you can look at them and decide for yourself if they are truly junk. I've never seen any that were not.
    So, I will look at the complaints anyway to see them. I am open to change, although I hope I do not need to drop Mackeeper as it does things like keeping tracking of applications updates that I need. Please note that I definitely am not a MacKeeper employee or anything close. Just using it and happy with the the results.
    I did download the recommend file for finding photo dupes and ran it.  There were very few duplicates, in any case, As I said before, the MacKeeper dupe finder was very slow when I ran it over ALL my files. That was a year ago and it did find many non-text dupes.

  • How to change P.O. duplication message type from warning to error for Order

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirment to change P.O. duplication message type from warning to error for Order only not OrderTemplate.  I can easily change message type in BAdI ISA_BASKET_MSGS, but I can't find the parameter to know if it's Order or OrderTemplate (DocType).   If this BAdI is not good way,  is there other way? and how to please?
    Please advise / help..
    Thanks, Jin

    Thanks Easwer for your help. 
    The info for getting status from function is very clear and I followed you instruction and completed the coding in BAdI and tested it successfully .... Thank you very much.  I need to learn where I can see the system status of the template,  i.e.  I1034 (Order Template) or Order or Quotation .....?  if I need to filter out Quotation, I can easily do it in the BAdI.   Could you please provide me more details?

  • FSCM DM -Auto Closing cases - where work is still required and duplications

    Hi,
    We have linked SAP4.6c to ECC6 to implement FSCM Dispute management.
    We have a scenario when we have created a Dispute case linked to an open item in 4.6c ( IDOC accross to ECC6 creates a dispute case),  the BIZ can be working on the Dispute case.. when the customer pays the invoice in full and does not make a deduction against the document, so no parital or residual item created.  Idoc automatically creates and sends the information accross in to ECC6 Class changes to SOLV_INV.
    This of course will close the dispute case in ECC6 - _however there may still be a need for the Dispute Case to be worked upon and a credit raised, but of course the status will be closed - and in our instance the BIZ does not work on CLOSED cases.
    Does anyone know of a method we can implement where by we can control the status of the dispute case / or show on an attribute on the case that the previous status was still outstanding resolution? Is there a Standard method in ECC6 that I have missed ??
    We have another issue whereby we have a ( bespoke method admittedly) where by we create a dispute case in R/3, that has no Links in 4.6c to any FI postings ( This sends the idoc in to ECC6 to create a NON FI Linked dispute Case).  We are now looking for a method on ECC6 to run and check for any duplicates in ECC6 on the customer/ xreffing external ref value - and linking the 2 cases  ( preventing duplication of effort working on 2 seperate cases?)
    Thank you for any advice you might be able to offer, and appricate that the 2nd issue is bespoke - but wonder if anyone else has had an issue with duplications - and how they handle them.
    Regards

    Can you please elaborate on your first scenario, and the rationale behind working on a Dispute case when there is no deduction made? I mean there is no disputed amount left, then why would one want a Dispute case to be open and not closed.
    If you have a valide business scenario, then this can be done if you have Enph2 implemented or higher with help of Customer Disputed obj.
    For the second Q, again with Enph2, you have fuctionality to create proposals to find duplicates if any. There is also a BADI around this fucntionality to help with finding duplicates.

  • Can i recover photos moved from iphoto via finder?

    first things first: i made a stupid mistake.
    i wanted to share a lot of photos w/ friend via my google drive. i store my photos in iphoto. what i did was that i located the files in finder, selected them and moved the whole lot to my googledrive.
    what i have now is a lot of jpg-files in my google drive, size of 33-34k - so i think i've got the thumbnails there.
    when i go into iphoto, i only see the outlines of the rectangles which normally contain the thumbnails but not the thumbnails themselves. when i select a rectangle, double click on it, i get to a screen where i would normally get the big picture the thumbnail stands for. now i get a grey screen with an exclamation mark.
    however, when i select the "edit" option, the image becomes visible. now there are two kinds of photos in the library - ones which have not been edited, they are as were taken by the camera. and another group which has been edited. unfortunately before i edit a pic, i first make a duplicate, so since all my edited pics are also duplicates, and i have no duplicates which are not edited, i can't tell if the error i am getting is due to the edit or to the duplication: but the unedited ones i am able to duplicate, i am able to send via email from iphoto, but the edited/duplicated ones i cannot.
    do you people have any idea how i could secure my edited pics?
    thank you very much.

    If you are lucky, and only moved the thumbnails folder from your iPhoto library, use iPhoto's built-in Library First Aid Tools to rebuild the thumbnails.
    Quit iPhoto.
    Hold down the key combination ⌘⌥ firmly, and continue to hold it down, while double clicking the iPhoto icon to launch ipHoto in "First Aid" mode.
    From the panel that appears, select "rebuild Thumbnails":
    I hope, that will restore the thumbnails. You may want to follow this by "repair database".
    Don't remove, rerame, or change anything inside an iPhoto database. That will corrupt your library for sure.

  • ITunes can't find some songs - can anybody help?

    (I'm reposting this question because the thread it was in was marked as "Answered" - but it wasn't answered, and nobody was replying.)
    My iTunes library was on an external drive, and it was working just fine. Then there were some problems with the external drive, so I bought a new external drive and loaded the entire iTunes library onto it. (I followed Apple's instructions for doing this.)
    I set preferences to use the iTunes folder on the new external drive. When I launched iTunes, all the music appears, as do all of the playlists that I created. It looked like everything was OK with the new hard drive - until I looked more closely and saw exclamation points next to some of the songs in my music library.
    Here is the problem: iTunes says it "can't find" the locations of about 5% of the songs in my library (that's about 300 songs). Those are the songs with the exclamation points next to them. When I try to play them, iTunes says it can't find the file.
    If I click on one of the "lost" songs to try to play it, iTunes presents a dialog box that lets me navigate my way to that song to show iTunes where it is, and then iTunes can play it. Theoretically this is a solution, but I don't want to do that for about 300 songs - it would take hours.
    All of the "lost" songs are in my iTunes music folder. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual or unique about the lost songs.
    I searched Apple's support pages for help on this, and I searched this forum (iTunes for Mac), and I couldn't find an answer. It looks like a fairly common problem - I see other posts with similar problems, but I haven't seen a solution yet.
    Any ideas what causes this? And (more importantly) any suggestions for how to get iTunes to recognize the location of those songs with the exclamation points?

    The suggestions that I received didn't solve my problem, but they did result in a duplication of my entire library - and I didn't relish the thought of deleting 6100 duplicate songs, one-by-one. I finally solved both problems by rebuilding the iTunes library. It was pretty easy to do, and it cleaned things up quite well.
    There is an Apple tech support document that describes how to do this, but it's a bit hard to find. If you search for "rebuild iTunes library", you won't find it. You have to search for "re-create iTunes library" with a hyphen stuck in the middle of the word recreate. Then you will find this link...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    ...which guides you step-by-step through the process of rebuilding the iTunes library. This got rid of duplicates, it re-established broken links, and it found a few songs that for some reason had not been in the previous library.

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.

  • Payment file duplication in target system at F110 transaction

    Hi All
    Payment file duplication in target system. Wherein since the Print Job was scheduled twice by user, the duplication of payment had taken place.The payment medium program u201CRFFOAVIS_FPAYMu201D is use to control the generation of duplicate payment file at automatic payment run program(F110).User needs an warning message if print job is schedule twice on same date and same identification number.Has Any one implemented such a scenario.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    System usually gives warning message F0417 aaginst the duplicatate print schedule , no need to do anything to get this message..
    Please check print log in additional filed tab in F110 , you will find this warning message in the log.
    Further you can chcek this warning message property if you can change this  from warning to warning plus email or any other option, which will prevent /alert duplicate file processeing.
    Cheers
