Getting count function to return 0 if no results found

I'm trying to determine the count of how many records exist that match a certain criteria. The problem is that instead of getting a row with a value of 0 when no results match, I get no row at all. This is causing me a problem because I need to know when it's zero as well as non-zero.
Here's an example query:
select submissions.job_id, count(submissions.job_id) from submissions where submissions.job_id in (select jobs.job_id from jobs where jobs.parent_id = 53) group by job_id
I'm trying to get the number of submissions for each job with a parent_id of 53. The problem is that if a job has no submissions, I don't even get the job_id back to report that it has 0 submission.
I'm using Oracle 8.1.6.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I tried your suggested query and it has the same problem. If there are any jobs that don't have submissions related to them, that job_id is not returned in the list.
Here's what the query returned:
job_id count()
523     2
527     2
645     1
653     1
816     1
820     1
824     1
It's missing job_id 1029 which has a parent_id of 53 but has no submissions.
I'd like something like the following returned:
job_id count()
523     2
527     2
645     1
653     1
816     1
820     1
824     1
1029 0

TABLE(CAST()) function not returning the correct results in few scenarios.

I am using TABLE(CAST()) operation in PL/SQL and it is returning me no data.
Here is what I have done:
1.     Created Record type
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE target_rec AS OBJECT
target__id          NUMBER(10),
target_entity_id NUMBER(10),
dd           CHAR(3),
fd           CHAR(3),
code      NUMBER(10),
target_pct      NUMBER,
template_nm VARCHAR2(50),
p_symbol      VARCHAR2(10),
pm_init          VARCHAR2(3),
target_name     VARCHAR2(20),
targe_type     VARCHAR2(30),
target_caption     VARCHAR2(30),
sort_order      NUMBER (4)
2.     Created Table type
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE target_arr AS TABLE OF target_rec
3.     Created Stored procedure which accepts parameter of type target_arr and runs the Table(Cast()) function on it.
     Following is the simplified form of my procedure.
     PROCEDURE get_target_weights
     p_in_template_target IN target_arr,
     p_out_count          OUT NUMBER,
     IS
     BEGIN
          SELECT count(*) into p_out_count
     FROM TABLE(CAST(p_in_template_target AS                     target_arr)) arr;
     END;
I am calling get_target_weights from my java code and passing p_in_template_target with 10140 records.
Scenario 1: If target_pct in the last record is 0, p_out_count returned from the procedure is 0.
Scenario 2: If target_pct in the last record is any other value(say 0.01), p_out_count returned from the procedure is 10140.
Please help me understand why the Table(Cast()) is not returning the correct results in Scenario 1. Also adding or deleting any record from the test data returns the correct results (i.e. if keep target_pct in the last record as 0 but add or delete any record).
Let me know how can I attach the test data I am using to help you debugging as I don’t see any Attach file button on Post Message screen on the forum.

I am not able to reproduce this problem with a small data set. I can only reproduce with the data having 10140 records.
I am not sure if this is the memory issue as adding a new record also solves the problem.
This should not be the error because of wrong way of filling the records in java as for testing purpose I just saved the records which I am sending from java in a table. I updated the stored procedure as well to read the data from the table and then perform TABLE(CAST()) operation. I am still getting 0 as the output for scenario 1 mentioned in my last mail.
Here is what I have updated:
1.     Created the table target_table
CREATE Table target_table
target_id          NUMBER(10),
target_entity_id NUMBER(10),
dd           CHAR(3),
fd           CHAR(3),
code      NUMBER(10),
target_pct      NUMBER,
template_nm VARCHAR2(50),
p_symbol      VARCHAR2(10),
pm_init          VARCHAR2(3),
target_name     VARCHAR2(20),
target_type     VARCHAR2(30),
target_caption     VARCHAR2(30),
sort_order      NUMBER (4)
2.     Inserted data into the table : The script has around 10140 rows. Pls let me know how can I send it to you
3.     Updated procedure to read data from table and stored into variable of type target_arr. Run Table(cast()) operation on target_arr and get the count
PROCEDURE test_target_weights

     v_target_rec target_table%ROWTYPE;

     BEGIN
     OPEN wt_cursor;
     loop
          fetch wt_cursor into v_target_rec; -- fetch data from table into local           record.
          exit when wt_cursor%notfound;
          --move data into target_arr
          v_target_arr_rec :=                     cws_curr_pair_entity_wt_rec(v_target_rec target_id,v_target_rec. target_entity_id,
                    v_target_rec.dd,v_target_rec.fd,v_target_rec.code,v_target_rec.target_pct,
     v_target_rec.template_nm,v_target_rec.p_symbol,v_target_rec.pm_init,v_target_rec.template_name,
     v_target_rec.template_type,v_target_rec.template_caption,v_target_rec.sort_order);
          v_target_arr.extend();
          v_target_arr(v_count) := v_target_arr_rec;
          v_count := v_count + 1;
     end loop;
     close wt_cursor;
     -- run table cast on target_arr
     SELECT count(*) into v_rec_count
     FROM TABLE(CAST(v_target_arr AS target_arr)) arr;
     DBMS_OUTPUT.enable;
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_out_count ' || v_rec_count);
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('v_count ' || v_count);

How to get a function to return a value occuring after a character

I need to write a function to return the next value occurring after the ":" character in a column. If multiple values of ":" occurs then the function should return the sum of the next value occurring after each ":" in the column.
For example a rating value of 4:1 would return the value of 1. However, the rating of "5:1:1" should return a value of 1+1 = 2, and 6:2:1 will return of 2+1 = 3.
I have the below function skeletion and trying to figure out how the select statement will compute based on the position of : in the column and add the values and return the value back to function.
Function fn_check_internalrating(p_internalrating IN VARCHAR2)
      RETURN number
IS
    cnumber number;
    cursor c1 is
   select ................................
BEGIN
open c1;
fetch c1 into cnumber;
close c1;
RETURN cnumber;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN RETURN NULL;
END;

Hi,
You don't need a cursor: there's no table involved in this function, and no point in using any table.
Here's one way:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_check_internalrating
(   p_internalrating   IN   VARCHAR2
,   p_delimiter            IN   VARCHAR2     DEFAULT     ':'
RETURN NUMBER
DETERMINISTIC          -- Same input always produces same output
IS
    cnumber     NUMBER     := 0;               -- value to be returned
    pos          PLS_INTEGER := INSTR ( p_internalrating
                                    , p_delimiter
                         );          -- position where delimiter was found
BEGIN
    WHILE pos != 0
    LOOP
        cnumber := cnumber + TO_NUMBER ( SUBSTR ( p_internalrating
                                              , pos + 1
                                     , 1
     pos := INSTR ( p_internalrating
                      , p_delimiter
               , pos + 1
    END LOOP;
    RETURN cnumber;
END fn_check_internalrating;
SHOW ERRORSThis assumes the function is a stand-alone function. If it's part of a package, you don't say CREATE OR REPLACE at the beginning.
Try to make functions generic, so that if a similar (but not identical) situation comes up in 6 months from now, you can use the same function. I'm guessing that somethimes you may want to do the same thing with some character other than ':' before each number, so I added the 2nd (optional) argument p_delimiter. You can call the fucntion with either 1 or 2 arguments.
If an error occurs in a PL/SQL fucntion, an error message (showing the exact location of the error) is displayed, and execution halts. If you use an EXCEPTION sectinn, you lose all that functionality, or have to code it yourself. Only use an EXCEPTION handler when you really have to.
For this function, you may or may not want to. For example, if the character right after a delimiter is not a digit, the call to TO_NUMBER in function will raise "ORA-01722: invalid number". You may want to catch that error in an exception handler, and return 0 or NULL. On the other hand, you may want to test that the character after the delimiter is a digit before calling TO_NUMBER, and not have an EXCEPTION section.
What else could go wrong? Try to think of potential problems and fix them when you first write the function. If you discover an error next year, you'll have to spend a fair amount of time finding the function, and getting acquainted with it again.
What should the function return if p_internalrating is NULL, or doesn't contain any delimiters?
What if there's a number longer than 1 digit after a delimiter, e.g. '6:78:9'?

Function that returns set of results

Good morning!
I need to make a function that would return set of results (records). I need to do a SELECT statement on that function later. Could someone throw me an example how to do this. I would be very gratefull. Thanks.
EDIT: thing is i need to select list of objects that will match some complicated criteria and some mathematic calculations are needed (thats why i need to create a function).

Distinct Count doesn't return the expected results

Hi All,
I was fighting a little trying to implement a Distinct Count measure over an account dimension in my cube. I read a couple of posts relateed to that and I followed the steps posted by the experts.
I could process the cube but the results I'm getting are not correct. The cube is returning a higher value compared to the correct one calculated directly from the fact table.
Here are the details:
Query of my fact table:
select distinct cxd_account_id,
          contactable_email_flag,
          case when recency_date>current_date-365 then '0-12' else '13-24' end RECENCY_DATE_ROLLUP,
          1 QTY_ACCNT
from cx_bi_reporting.cxd_contacts
where cxd_account_id<>-1 and recency_date >current_date-730;
I have the following dimensions:
     Account (with 3 different hierarchies)
     Contactable Email Flag (Just 3 values, Y, N, Unknown)
     Recency_date (Just dimension members)
All dimensions are sparse and the cube is a compressed one. I defined "MAXIMUM" as aggregate for Contactable Email flag and Recency date and at the end, SUM over Account.
I saw that there is a patch to fix an issue when different aggregation rules are implemented in a compressed cube and I asked the DBA folks to apply it. They told me that the patch cannot be applied because we have an advanced version already installed (Patch 11.2.0.1 ).
These are the details of what we have installed:
      OLAP Analytic Workspace       11.2.0.3.0 VALID
      Oracle OLAP API 11.2.0.3.0 VALID
      OLAP Catalog 11.2.0.3.0 VALID
Is there any other patch that needs to be applied to fix this issue? Or it's already included in the version we have installed (11.2.0.3.0)?
Is there something wrong in the definition of my fact table and that's why I'm not getting the right results?
Any help will be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Martín

Not sure I would have designed the dimensions /cubes as you, but there is another method you can obtain distinct counts.
Basically relies on using basic OLAP DML Expression language and can be put in a Calculated Measure, or can create two Calculated measures
to contain each specific result. I use this method to calculate distinct counts when I want to calculate averages, etc ...
IF account_id ne -1 and (recency_date GT today-365) THEN -
CONVERT(NUMLINES(UNIQUELINES(CHARLIST(Recency_date))) INTEGER)-
ELSE IF account_id ne -1 and (recency_date GT today-730 and recency_date LE today-365) THEN -
CONVERT(NUMLINES(UNIQUELINES(CHARLIST(Recency_date))) INTEGER)-
ELSE NA
This exact code may not work in your case, but think you can get the gist of the process involved.
This assumes the aggregation operators are set to the default (Sum), but may work with how you have them set.

Michael Cooper

Really? COUNT never returns NULL; it always returns 0 or a positive integer.
Do you mean the query results in "no rows selected"?
Is there any way I can get the value as zero instead of null? Please help.Do you want a query that will produce the same output as the query above, but will produce a single row containing 0 when the query above does not produce anything? That sounds like a job for an outer join:
WITH    original_query AS
       SELECT COUNT(*) AS v_count
       FROM    lab_order_tmplt_test
       WHERE   test_id IN

SELECT     NVL (o.v_count, 0)     AS v_count
FROM               dual
LEFT OUTER JOIN original_query o ON o.v_count > 0
;If you'd care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for the sample data, then I could test this.

Is there a way of getting LOOKUP function to return the address of a cell rather than the value?

Hi
I am wondering if there is a way of converting the value found in a LOOKUP function into a reference for the cell in question.
I have constructed the following formula:
=OFFSET(LOOKUP(A2,August :: $A),2,2)
In an attempt to return the value of a cell which is two rows and two columns away from the cell returned by a LOOKUP function.
But I am getting the error Argument 1 of OFFSET expects a reference but found "Name."
Could someone advise?
Thanks,
Nick

Nick,
To find the row that a searched-for value is in, use MATCH.

Stored function not returning result set unless recompiled

Hi,
I have a strange situation going on with a basic Java (1.6.0.17) application talking to an Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) database. Basically what is happening is that sometimes a stored function's return value (a result set) is not making it as far as JDBC/Java, unless I recompile the stored function (with absolutely no changes to the application or function's code). I am always able to successfully see the result set if I call the function directly from within SQL Developer, just not on the Java app/JDBC side.
I've tried running with 3 different physical Oracle 11g servers and tried running the app on a couple of machines. I'm wondering if this is either some kind of caching issue or perhaps a JDBC bug/misconfiguration.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached to this message:

How to use the function who returns an array?

how to use getAllT in pls/sql or in java?
--------------------------------------------------->
create or replace package honghai as
     type TType is varray(25) of number;
/*it can be like : type TType is table of number;
     function getCountT return number;
     function getAllT return TType;
end honghai;
create or replace package body honghai as
a number;
function getCountT return number is
     acount number;
     begin
          select count(*) into acount from testasb.t;
          return acount;
     end getCountT;
     function getAllT
     return TType is
     results TType;
     begin
          select testid into results(25) from testasb.T ;
          return results ;
     end getAllT;
begin
     a := 2;
end honghai;


For the java part, click on the link below:

For the pl/sql part specific to your problem, see the code below. Since you did not provide any table structure or sample data, I used some simple data for demonstration purposes:

2    (testid NUMBER)
3 /
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t
2 VALUES (1)
3 /
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t
2 VALUES (2)
3 /
1 row created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE honghai
2 AS
3    TYPE ttype IS REF CURSOR;
4    FUNCTION getcountt RETURN NUMBER;
5    FUNCTION getallt RETURN ttype;
6 END honghai;
7 /
Package created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY honghai
2 AS
3    a NUMBER;
4    FUNCTION getcountt RETURN NUMBER

8      SELECT COUNT (*)
9      INTO   account
10      FROM   scott.t;
11      RETURN account;
12    END getcountt;
13    FUNCTION getallt RETURN ttype
14    IS
15      results ttype;
16    BEGIN
17      OPEN results for 'SELECT testid FROM scott.t';
18      RETURN results;
19    END getallt;
20 BEGIN
21    a := 2;
22 END honghai;
23 /
Package body created.
SQL> VARIABLE g_num NUMBER
SQL> VARIABLE g_ref REFCURSOR

Get Count function in Segmentation Manager fails with bellow error :
"GetCount" failed.Assertion failure: nTasks <= MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS at line 65

Where do I increse the value for "MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS " parameter?
The Rollup segment we are trying to update the counts contains lots of nested segments.
Thanks in advance for your help,

I can't quite seem to get this function to work correctly...

Can anyone tell me what I need to correct to get this function to return "S" whenever the Username matches one of the Usernames in the vector?
    public static String ProcessLogin(Vector UL, String Data, int Logging)
        String sReturn = "";
        String[] sSplit = new String[4];
        int i = 0;
        String sTemp = "";
        sSplit = SplitSaP(Data);
        for(i = 0; i < UL.size(); i++)
            if(sSplit[1] != ((UserList)UL.elementAt(i)).sUsername)
                sReturn = "F";
            else
                sReturn = "S";
                i = UL.size() + 1;
                System.out.println("Raaar");
                break;
            if(Logging == 10)
                System.out.println(((UserList)UL.elementAt(i)).sUsername +"=?"+ sSplit[1]);
                System.out.println(sSplit[2] +"=?"+ ((UserList)UL.elementAt(i)).sPassword);
                System.out.println(sReturn);
        return sReturn;
    }

Uh why not
if (UL.contains(sUsername)) return "S";
return "F";

Count function on months column gives wrong result

Hi,
I am on OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120.
I used the count function on the month column and rather than getting 12 as the answer i get 365. (i used a filter on the year column to restrict it to one year)
How could this happen?
Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to get the answer as 12 on the month column in the Dim_Time using the count distinct.
The main reason i was trying this is because i have a VALUE column in VIew_A. I am trying to sum the values of these, but when i use the sum function, the output is quite huge and wrong. I dosen't match with the monthly figures.
For eg:
Month
Income Cost
JAN
186.96
FEB
309.29
MAR
246.82
APR
247.95
998.76
1,462.74
MAY
160.27
645.60
1,643.84
JUN
172.19
693.61
927.12
JUL
150.27
605.32
855.89
AUG
133.61
483.66
538.20
789.22
SEP
144.56
412.42
582.34
824.84
OCT
264.96
315.66
364.00
631.32
1,067.32
1,466.22
NOV
240.39
832.10
968.32
1,058.73
1,638.38
DEC
215.81
857.30
869.31
24005.34
But if i use the sum function on the Income/cost column, the value i get is
C_MONTH
SUM(INCOME_COST)
JAN
5,795.86
FEB
8,660.21
MAR
7,651.52
APR
81,283.62
MAY
75,941.13
JUN
53,787.67
JUL
49,955.96
AUG
60,285.39
SEP
58,924.80
OCT
127,394.01
NOV
142,137.76
DEC
60,215.18
This just doesn't work out. I need the answer to be 24005 by using the sum function

How to return two XML result sets using the function

Hi Experts,
Thanks.

So that I want to return two XML result sets if the query returns more than 50,000 records.
One XML result set with 50,000 and another XML result set with remaining records.
How to incorporate this in my function.
Have the function return a collection of CLOB then.
DBMS_XMLGEN can handle pagination so it's easy to adapt your existing code.
Here's an example fetching data in batches of max. 3 rows each, using a pipelined function :
SQL> create or replace type clob_array is table of clob;
2 /
Type created
SQL>
SQL> create or replace function genXmlRowset (p_deptno in number) return clob_array pipelined
2 is
3    ctx    dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
4    doc    clob;
5 begin
6
7    ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext('SELECT empno, ename FROM scott.emp WHERE deptno = :1');
8    dbms_xmlgen.setBindValue(ctx, '1', p_deptno);
9    dbms_xmlgen.setMaxRows(ctx, 3);
10
11    loop
12
13      doc := dbms_xmlgen.getXML(ctx);
14      exit when dbms_xmlgen.getNumRowsProcessed(ctx) = 0;
15      pipe row (doc);
16
17    end loop;
18
19    dbms_xmlgen.closeContext(ctx);
20
21    return;
22
23 end;
24 /
Function created
SQL> set long 5000
SQL> select * from table(genXmlRowset(30));
COLUMN_VALUE
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7499</EMPNO>
<ENAME>ALLEN</ENAME>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7521</EMPNO>
<ENAME>WARD</ENAME>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7654</EMPNO>
<ENAME>MARTIN</ENAME>

</ROWSET>
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I get an error when i try to execute a function that returns a date value

Hi,
I'm new in ODP.NET, i'm make a package that contains a function that returns a date i.e.
Package Body General_pkg is
Function Get_Day Return Date is
vd_day date;
Begin
select sysdate into vd_day from dual;
return vd_day;
end Get_Day;
End General_pkg;
i use the next code to execute the function:
OracleCommand cmdData = new OracleCommand("General_pkg.Get_Day", cnx);
cmdData.CommandType = Commandtype.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter PRM;
PRM = new OracleParameter();
PRM.ParameterName = "VDATE";
PRM.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Date;
PRM.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;
cmdData.Parameters.Add(PRM);
try
cmdData.ExecuteNonQuery();
catch(OracleException e);
When i execute this code, i have and exception, which say "identifier GENERAL_PKG.Get_Day must be declare..."
Obviously the package is correctly created in ORACLE i tested first in sql plus and it works but in ODP.NET they don't recognize the package or the function i don't know... please help!!!

OOOOOPSS.... i forgot that i change the user in my conecction string that's why it didn't work...
i guess i had to much beer last night.;. :)
thanks.
