Fix Variable in select statment

Hi,
Can we define a variable in select statment .
Example :
Select firstname , lastname
from employees;
in this simple select statment can we define x as number ?

Maybe
SQL> variable x number
SQL> exec :x := 3
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select :x x, last_name from employees where rownum <= 3
X                                LAST_NAME
3                                King
3                                Kochhar
3                                De Haan
3 rows selected.

Hi,
I have just given a code snippet similar to your requirement.
DATA:   average TYPE p DECIMALS 2,
        sum     TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
SELECT AVG( luggweight ) SUM( luggweight )
INTO (average, sum)
FROM sbook.
WRITE: / 'Average:', average,
       / 'Sum    :', sum.
Just replace with your variables and let me know if it works.
Thanks,

Table list for select statment

hello all,
I been trying to setup a plsql statment to run a select statment from tables that are in a list.
this is what I have done so far as a test and it is not letting me do it and I don't know why can anyone point me in the right direction.
declare
cursor main_log is
select *
from joseph_w.table_name_list;
cml main_log%rowtype;
var1 varchar2(35);
var2 varchar2(35;
begin
open main_log;
fetch main_log into cml;
var1 := cml.schema_name;
var2 := cml.table_name;
select *
from var1.var2;
close main_log;
end;
thanks

In PL/SQL you cannot just "select", as PL/SQL is a server sided language. You must use a record or variable to hold the selected data. Anyway, for selecting from different tables dynamically, you can use (Native) Dynamic SQL or Ref Cursors. Take a look at the documentation, especially the "PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference":

Thanks Billy, Would you be able to suggest any other faster method to load the data into table. Thanks,
As Mark responded - it all depends on the actual data to load, structure and source/origin. On my busiest database, I am loading on average 30,000 rows every second from data in external files.
However, the data structures are just that - structured. Logical.
Having a data structure with 100's of fields (columns in a SQL table), raise all kinds of questions about how sane that structure is, and what impact it will have on a physical data model implementation.
There is a gross misunderstanding by many when it comes to performance and scalability. The prime factor that determines performance is not how well you code, what tools/language you use, the h/w your c ode runs on, or anything like that. The prime factor that determines perform is the design of the data model - as it determines the complexity/ease to use the data model, and the amount of I/O (the slowest of all db operations) needed to effectively use the data model.

Query in select statment

Hi ,
what is the difference between,select single and
select upto one row .
In a select statment .
Thanks ,
shankar.

According to SAP Performance course the SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS is faster than SELECT SINGLE because you are not
using all the primary key fields.
select single is a construct designed to read database records with primary key. In the absence of the primary key,
it might end up doing a sequential search, whereas the select up to 1 rows may assume that there is no primary key
supplied and will try to find most suitable index.
The best way to find out is through sql trace or runtime analysis.
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s)
you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the
second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional
level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT SINGLE' statement selects the first row in the database that it finds that fulfils the 'WHERE' clause
If this results in multiple records then only the first one will be returned and therefore may not be unique.
Mainly: to read data from
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that
are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns
the first record of the result set.
Mainly: to check if entries exist.
You can refer to the below link..

How to precalculate a Query without using a fixed variable in I Broad C?

Hello,
The query should be precalculate with dynamic values of a variable which are investigated during runtime. The broadcaster forces fixed values of a variable.
Does anybody knows, how to avoid the using of a fixed variable in the Information Broadcaster?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards

Hi,
Can you tell me where in the system have you changed this setting. I searched in SPRO but there is nothing about the language. I am also facing similar situation. And if you have worked with PDF files in the broadcaster can you tell me how to change the PDF file names when I run the broadcaster for 6 to 7 variables(I mean VAR1,VAR2,...) The main folder where these PDF files get stored I can define but dont know how to change the PDF file names which fall into this folder.
Thanks,

Getting error after putting variable in select statement

Hi All,
Kindly help me with Pl/sql code
here i'm trying to put variable in select statement ....
I successfully put the Yr and Mnth ..but getting error for loop variable "i"
Here i'm getting error that too because of " i" only-->TRIM(UPPER(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(i||'-'||Mnth||'-'||Yr,'dd-Mon-YYYY'),'DAY')))
Please find the full code below.
Declare
Yr number not null:=2010;
Mnth varchar2(20) not null:='Jun';
v_val number:=0;
begin
for i in 1..2 loop
case i
SELECT count(*) into v_val
FROM DUAL
WHERE TRIM(UPPER(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(i||'-'||Mnth||'-'||Yr,'dd-Mon-YYYY'),'DAY')))
in (UPPER('Monday'),UPPER('Tuesday'),UPPER('WEDNESDAY'),UPPER('THURSDAY'),UPPER('friday'))
end case;
end loop;

Select statment - fill internal table

Hi,
I have following situation:
TYPES: BEGIN OF q_data,

         v_xxx(20) type c,
       END OF q_data.
DATA: a_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF q_data.
Now I would write a select statment and fill the table a_data.
select lqua~matnr lqua~werks... from lqua inner join mch1 into (i_lqua-matnr, i_lqua-werks.....)...
Is it possible to write a statement without writing the whole structure (all the names of columns) of lqua in the SQL-statement (lquamatnr lquawerks lqua~........)?
Thanks
Michael

1. you can write that but i think you have to write that in SELECT ...ENDSELECT.
select lquamatnr lquawerks... from lqua inner join mch1 into (i_lqua-matnr, i_lqua-werks.....
append i_lqua.
endselect.
2. OR you can use INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE
   select lquamatnr lquawerks... from lqua inner join mch1 into corresponding fields of table i_lqua.

Using distinct and orderby in the select statment

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of using distinct and orderby in the select statment.

Hi,
Using the distinct function with more than one column yields some substantial results. SQL will return the rows with distinct or unique combinations of those columns. Assume this same employee table has another column including the salary of each employee. With the use of the distinct function we can pull a list of unique job titles - salaries.
SQL Code:
SELECT DISTINCT job_titles, salary FROM employees;
SQL has returned all the rows with unique combinations of job titles and salaries. Any duplicate combinations of job titles and salaries will be ignored. For example if we had two CEOs in the table making the same salary each year, only one row would be returned but if we had two CEOs with different salaries, both rows would be returned.
Order by
The SQL ORDER BY clause comes in handy when you want to sort your SQL result sets by some column(s). For example if you want to select all the persons from the already familiar Customers table and order the result by date of birth, you will use the following statement:
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB
As you can see the rows are sorted in ascending order by the DOB column, but what if you want to sort them in descending order? To do that you will have to add the DESC SQL keyword after your SQL ORDER BY clause:
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB DESC
If you don't specify how to order your rows, alphabetically or reverse, than the result set is ordered alphabetically, hence the following to SQL expressions produce the same result:
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB ASC
You can sort your result set by more than one column by specifying those columns in the SQL ORDER BY list. The following SQL expression will order by DOB and LastName:
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB, LastName

Dynamic field in select statment.

Hello,
I created a report in which i have two checkboxes in the selection screen. The first checkbox is for the option to bring or not, initial purchase requisitions (BANFN) from EKPO and the second is to bring initial or not, RFQs
(ANFNR). I want the select statment to have this form:
select ...
from ekpo
into g_table
where ..
and dynamic field = " ".
Can this be done ?
i tried to put it as a string but it didnt work. (data: dynamic field type string value "EKPO-BANFN")
P.S i know that it can be by writing the same select code twice.
I just wonder if this can be done by this way
\Regards.

Hey Nick,
I have more conditions than the one i said before , should all be in the lv_where_clause ?
check my code.
DATA: G_CHBFLD type STRING.
G_CHBFLD = 'P~BANFN = '' " '.
FORM SELECT_DATA_EKPO_EKKO.
SELECT .....

Problem in select statment & loop of itab.

Hi all,
      I am having on ITAB1 for, ex which is having five line items or more .
iam also using select statment SINGLE statment for 7 times ,to select values for
different data base table.
for ex,
loop at itab.
   1---> SELECT SINGLE Z_CTRY_ORIG INTO LS_PSHDESN-Z_CTRY_ORIG FROM ZLE_PART_MST
WHERE                           WERKS        = ITAB1-LGNUM
AND                                 MATNR        = ITAB1-MATNR .
2---
3---
4---
endloop
i want to remove from the loop statment and i have to select the datas ..
can any one sugesset some possible ways....
regards
veera

hi,
Solution:
Never use select single in loop at itab!! for that :
Solution 1:
say ur main table is ITAB and rferring this u want to select data from other tables.
SELECT SINGLE Z_CTRY_ORIG INTO LS_PSHDESN-Z_CTRY_ORIG FROM ZLE_PART_MST
into table itab2
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ITAB
WHERE WERKS = ITAB-LGNUM
AND MATNR = ITAB-MATNR.
With this what will hapeen , u will get all records in itab2 which u can update itab1(master) using loop.
solution 2:
Instead of all this use JOINs in select statement properly and u can fetch data in one shot this will reduce database load as well as abap load ( More than 3 joins in SELECT stmt are not recommeded but can be used)
I believe this is perfect solution if and only if u are giving joins on KEY fields only. Same is applied for wherer clause.
Hope this will help u, if not revert.
