Help needed in getting a query

Hi,
I have two tables issues and comments. Issues is parent table and comments is a child table with issue_id as the foreign key. There are two columns in master table Creation_date and closed_date . As the name suggests they refer to issue creation and closing date. I have say 4 statuses in comments table. Say 'open',moreInfo','Closed','Reopen'. There is also update_time column for the comments_table. So whenver the status is updated date and time is captured. Also when a issue is closed the update_time is entered into closing_date of the issues table as well. Also when the issue is reopened that closing date of the issue will be set to null. I wanted a query to calculate the average time required in closing the issue which I got that from the issues table by doing '-' of closingdate and creation_date.
But now I want to calculate the average time spent on the issues without taking the time spent on the status moreinfo into consideration. Also the status can change at any point of time. THere is no sequence in status change.
I want a SQL query for the above scenario.
Thanks

I want a SQL query for the above scenario.Maybe you just need to add
comments.status != 'moreinfo' to your WHERE clause. Without more specific information about your daya and your requirements, I can't be sure.
As mentioned before, post your query.
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Help needed to optimize the query:
The requirement is to select the record with max eff_date from HIST_TBL and that max eff_date should be > = '01-Jan-2007'.
This is having high cost and taking around 15mins to execute.

1. I want to get rid of the p_start and p_end. So how do i declare the v_startdate and v_enddate in the following part?
v_startdate := to_date(p_start, 'YYYY/MM');
v_enddate := last_day(to_date(p_end, 'YYYY/MM'));I'm not sure what you mean by "declare".
In PL/SQL, "declare" means state (at the beginning of a block) that there will be a certain variable with a certain name (such as v_startdate) and datatype (such as DATE). You're already declaring the variables v_startdate and v_enddate correctly, right before the BEGIN statement.
Declaring a variable is not the same as initializing it, that is, giving it a value for the first time. Your next question seems to be about initializing..
2. where exactly shud i include the logic that u have mentioned. sorry a dumb questionIn place of the two assignment statments that reference p_start and p_end.
3. This time am gonna use frequency instead of report_type so that i will get rid of the p_start and p_end from the procedure.Do you mean you want to pass an argument (called frequency) that tells if you want a quarterly or a mionthly report, just like the variable report_type in my example?
If so, replace report_type in my example with frequency.
I think you want something like this:

     IF frequency = 'QUARTERLY'
     THEN
          v_startdate := TRUNC ( ADD_MONTHS (SYSDATE, -3)
                                       , 'Q'

In the above table Id is the primary key.
The column eval_point holds only two types of entries 'activation' or 'completion'
The activity_name column holds the name of the activity.
The sample entries in the table are as follows
Key Value activity_name Creation_Date Id Eval_Point

where start_date is the creation date of the 'activation' and end_date is the creation_date of 'completion'.
Can somebody help?

Help need to create a query

I need to fetch records from a table. Please help me to create a query
The Tablename is Employee. It has the following records
Department Empname Gender
Finance Tom Male
Finance Rick Male
Finance Stacy Female
Corporate Tom Male
Corporate Rob Male
I want to select the value of the Gender field from the Employee table corresponding to a Department
If all the values in the Gender field are 'MALE' corresponding to 'finance' in the Department field, the value should be 'MALE'
If there is a value 'FEMALE', the gender corresponding to the Empname 'TOM' should be considered as the gender

Tables have rows - not records.
Your question is a basic SQL language question - which means you do not know the SQL language. This forum is not a classroom for teaching you the SQL language.
Use the following as the basic outline of how your SQL language statement need to look like for selecting the required from the table:
SELECT
<<sql projection goes here>>
FROM <<table name goes here>>
WHERE <<filter conditions go here>>
{code}
The SQL projection specifies the list of columns the SQL need to return to the caller.
The filter condition is basic predicates and AND and OR can be used for multiple predicates.
Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com and look for the +SQL Reference Guide+ for the Oracle version you are using. The +SELECT+ statement syntax is covered in detail and sample statements are provided.
And please do not expect this forum to be used as a classroom, or expect this forum to do your homework for a class.

Hi Jimmy,
Here is an example please change the column names according to your example.

Help needed in framing SQL query.

Hi,
I have table having following schema:
PRODUCT_ID         INT
DATE                   DATETIME
ITEMS_SOLD         INT
This table contains data for a week (sunday to saturday). I want to write an SQL query to get (filter out) PRODUCT_ID of products which has same no. of ITEMS_SOLD for all 7 days. Also for given PRODUCT_ID I need to find the longest period of successive days where the no. of ITEMS_SOLD is same for all days in this period. Eg.(PRODUCT_ID 23 was sold as following along the week in no. of units sold: 4,6,6,6,6,7,4 .So the longest period is *4 days* from Monday to Thursday.) The first condition is special case of second condition where no. of days is 7.
Any help to get the SQL query will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Akshay.

PRODUCT_ID      DATE           ITEMS_SOLD
1          10/10/2011     3
1          11/10/2011     3
1          12/10/2011     3
1          13/10/2011     3
1           16/10/2011     5
2          10/10/2011     4
2           11/10/2011     4
2          12/10/2011     4
2          13/10/2011     4
2           14/10/2011     4
2          15/10/2011     4
2          16/10/2011     4
Output:
PRODUCT_ID ITEMS_SOLD NO_OF_DAYS
1          3                4
2          4               7
Explanation of results:
The table to be queried contains data for 1 week: from 10/10/2011(Sunday) to 16/10/2011(Saturday). Now, product with PRODUCT_ID '1' was sold on dates 10,11,12,13,16. Out of these 5 days 3 units were sold on 4 successive days (from 10-13). So output should be like :
PRODUCT_ID ITEMS_SOLD NO_OF_DAYS
1          3               4
as longest period of successive days is 4 where same no. of units were sold i.e 3 units (other period is of 1 day on 16th ).
For PRODUCT_ID 2 we have only one period of 7 days where 4 units were sold each day. So we output :
PRODUCT_ID ITEMS_SOLD NO_OF_DAYS
2           4               7
Other case where same PRODUCT_ID have different units sold on each day should be ignored.
I hope that clarifies the problem more. Let me know in case I have missed out anything which should have been mentioned.

Help - Need to Get Max(Date) from An Unrelated Table in PowerPivot

I have two tables in my Power Pivot model:
Table A (a many table)
Asset
SerialNumber
User
CTUT111
YC112233
Bob
CTUT222
ZZ221144
Susy
CTUT222
ZZ221144
Larry
CTUT333
AB332244
Bob
Table B (a many table, a CSV import from another system)
Asset
SerialNumber
CheckIn_Date
CTUT111
YC112233
6/15/2014
CTUT111
YC112233
6/20/2014
CTUT222
ZZ221144
6/18/2014
CTUT333
AB332244
6/20/2014
I know it appears odd that Table B would have two entries for the same Asset (CTUT111), but it does.
I know I could write a SQL query that gave me the MAX(CheckIn_Date), but I’m not staging these datasets in a SQL server first.
I’m pulling directly from CSV tables.
I don’t want to have bridge tables either, if possible.
So, I’m left with a many-to-many situation in Power Pivot.
I want to add a Calculated Column to Table A, called ‘Latest CheckIn Date’ – which I get from Table B, matching on Serial Number.
So, when I’m done, I would expect the value for Asset=CTUT111 to be 6/20/2014 (since it’s the MAX of a value of dates)
I’m trying this pattern from Marco Russo in which you don’t need to relate two tables to exchange information, but it doesn’t appear to be working.
=CALCULATE (
MAX ( VALUES ( TableB[CheckIn_Date] ) ),
FILTER (
TableB,
'TableA'[SerialNumber]
= TableB[SerialNumber]
I’ve also tried to use LOOKUPVALUE, but I can’t seem to figure it out.
Would appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.
-Eric

Hi Eric,
Please, try this one formula:
=CALCULATE (
MAXX ( VALUES( TableB[CheckIn_Date] ); TableB[CheckIn_Date] );
FILTER (
TableB;
'TableA'[SerialNumber] = TableB[SerialNumber]
P.S. In my locale I use ";". According to your locale you should use ",".
Truly yours,
Paul

Help need for Outer Join Query Mysterious Query...

I have two table parent tablea and child tableb

tableb has field by name table_id,keyword_name,keyword_value
tablea has field by name

Help need in getting thread join to actionperformed event.

Hi,
I am trying to building a small application which should give me the following functionality.
My main function should span two windows. One window(1) will be receiving the input from the user and after the user enter a string and press the OK butten, the other window(2) should display this string and first window should set unvisible.
To have this function working my window(2) should wait for the window(1) ActionPerform event complete and receive the message from it.
Can any of you please help me getting some hints or sample codes for this action to be done.
Thanks.

Varad,
Not sure what you are suggesting is what I am looking to do. I believe with your example here that I would need to create a new item table in my current DB in order to recall this data. This table would be populated with the items I selected (checkbox) from the original page. This is one solution, but the issue is that this is dynamic and these values would change as a new search is generated or different values are selected.
Is there anyway in which to make (code) in ApEx so as that the values (i.e. P1_items 123 : 234 : 456) (note that these items are defaulted to colon delimitation by ApEx) are properly formatted so as SQL can read them as independent items. Note if I simply rewrite the original SQL script and replace the :P1_item with generic values (123 , 234 , 456) the SQL operates as intended.
Thank you for your support and help,
Randy

Help needed in tuning this query

This is the SQL i would like to tune for performace...
The table structure is given below.
The table has about 2 million rows.
From the second day onwards only around 10% of records will be between Load_Start_Time and Load_End_Time. Among these around 50% will have THAMES_URN_WITH_ROLE_SUFFIX as 'TP%'. At present there are unique and primary key indexes on THAMES_URN_WITH_ROLE_SUFFIX .
I'm sure that we need a b-tree index on STG_UPDATE_DATE_TIME as it is the column with good selectivity.
I'm primarily concerned about the substr, instr and reverese on THAMES_URN_WITH_ROLE_SUFFIX.
Also pls. let me know if the order of predicates is right.
Thanks in advance.

> If indexes don't help, is the only way to gain REAL
performance gain on this type of query is to
partition the table
If a Full Table Scan on a table takes "too long" (and
this is purely subjective - "too long" is different
for every problem) and indexes can't help, and we
need <100% of the rows, and if partitioning will give
us the performance we desire, is it OK do it ? Also
would STG_UPDATE_DATE_TIME be the best column to do a
index partion ?
For this type of query, partitioning on STG_UPDATE_DATE_TIME would be good.
However, partitioning is not done just for one query. It has to fit in your total design. For example, if you are also doing queries with a predicate like <column with a local unique index but not the partition key> = <constant>, it would have to visit all partitions instead of just one, and those queries would take much longer to execute. You can make the index global, but there all kind of maintenance issues with that. In short: be careful about partitioning and think it through first.
> But is it a good option to partition tables with
total no. of rows between 2 million and 5 million ? I
thought partitioning is better done for tables > 20
million.
Please throw some light on that.
Generally, partitioning is done on bigger tables, yes. But it is not about some specific number of rows. You partition a table when all forecasted use of the table is known, so you can make a good judgement which usages will benefit, which ones won't be affected and which ones are likely to suffer. When the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, you partition...
Above I had an example about queries that are going to suffer. Partitioning is beneficial for example when once in some period you'd have to delete A LOT of old rows. Or when you have some data warehousing queries that need like 10% of only the most recent data in a huge table.
The decision is yours.

Rob.
