Help needed in SQL statement

Hi,
From the SQL statement below, i need help in explaining what does the line "WHERE ( lims_sys.result.result_template_id = lims_sys.result_template_limit.result_template_id (+))" do?
This statement was written by a vendor and now i have problem displaying some new data. Only a portion of what i need is displayed.
SELECT "LIMS_SYS"."RESULT"."DESCRIPTION",
"LIMS_SYS"."RESULT_TEMPLATE_LIMIT"."NUMERIC_LIMIT",
"LIMS_SYS"."RESULT"."FORMATTED_RESULT",
"LIMS_SYS"."RESULT"."CONCLUSION",
"LIMS_SYS"."RESULT_USER"."U_RESULT_SEQUENCE" ,
"LIMS_SYS"."RESULT"."RESULT_ID"
FROM "LIMS_SYS"."RESULT",
"LIMS_SYS"."RESULT_TEMPLATE_LIMIT",
"LIMS_SYS"."RESULT_USER",
"LIMS_SYS"."ALIQUOT",
"LIMS_SYS"."SAMPLE",
"LIMS_SYS"."SDG",
"LIMS_SYS"."TEST"
WHERE ( lims_sys.result.result_template_id = lims_sys.result_template_limit.result_template_id (+)) and
( "LIMS_SYS"."RESULT"."RESULT_ID" = "LIMS_SYS"."RESULT_USER"."RESULT_ID" ) and
( "LIMS_SYS"."SDG"."SDG_ID" = "LIMS_SYS"."SAMPLE"."SDG_ID" ) and
( "LIMS_SYS"."SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_ID" = "LIMS_SYS"."ALIQUOT"."SAMPLE_ID" ) and
( "LIMS_SYS"."ALIQUOT"."ALIQUOT_ID" = "LIMS_SYS"."TEST"."ALIQUOT_ID" ) and
( "LIMS_SYS"."TEST"."TEST_ID" = "LIMS_SYS"."RESULT"."TEST_ID" ) and
( ( LIMS_SYS."SDG"."SDG_ID" = :sdg_id ) AND
( LIMS_SYS."RESULT"."STATUS" <> 'X' ) AND
( LIMS_SYS."RESULT"."REPORTED" = 'T' ) AND
( LIMS_SYS."RESULT_USER"."U_RESULT_CATEGORY" in ( 'Metal' , 'Mean Metal', 'Range Metal')) )
Thanks for all your help.

Hi,
After WHERE .......... is indicates an OUTER Join condition.
In this type of join, system retrieves the data for matched and
as well as unmatched.
Example:
EMP table have a column DEPTNO with the data 10, 20, 30 (total rows=14)
DEPT table have a column DEPTNO with the data 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 (total rows=5)
If the WHERE clause contained EMP.DEPTNO(+) = DEPT.DEPTNO
then the output contain the data relative to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 (total rows = 16)
i.e. 14 rows (with matching data) and 2 rows (with unmatching data)

Need help on coverting sql statement to NamedQueries

hi, all,
I have a problem on converting the following SQL statement returning last 10 records from an Oracle database.
The SQL statement is as followings:
select * from (select * from TABLE1 where ATT1 = 1 order by ATT2 desc) where rownum<11
However, how should I convert this statement into NamedQuery?
Thanks.

Will the following SQL return the same set of rows for you:
select * from TABLE1 where ATT1 = 1 order by ATT2 desc limit 1,10
If so, that query is a lot easier to convert.
I've never tried to convert a subquery into a NamedQuery. The problem is that you're not just converting to named query, but you're also changing from SQL to EJBQL, and they don't map directly even though the semantics are similar.

Help with an sql statement

String Queue = jComboBox3.getSelectedItem().toString();
String Start_Date = jComboBox2.getSelectedItem().toString();
String End_Date = jComboBox1.getSelectedItem().toString();
int bins []= new int [size];
String sql = "SELECT Count(Accepts.Queue)FROM Accepts WHERE Accepts.Queue = 'Queue' And (Accepts.TimeOfAccept Between 'Start_Date' And 'End_Date');";
ResultSet result = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
if (result.next())
int res = result.getInt(1);
for (int k = size; k<0; k--)
for (int i = 0; i<res+1; i++)
bins[i] = res% k;
Im trying to get information from a table using an sql statement i have converted the items selected in combo boxes into strings and am using these strings in the sql statement but it is still wrong can anyone help me

. . . WHERE Accepts.Queue = 'Queue' And (Accepts.TimeOfAccept Between 'Start_Date' And 'End_Date')As others have mentioned, it looks like you have a data type mis-match.
Try:
. . . . . Accepts.TimeOfAccept Between TO_DATE(Start_Date) AND TO_DATE(End_Date)
This assumes that the two DATE variables - Start_Date and End_Date - are in standard format - DD-MON-YY.
If not, you will need to supply a format model as a second argument to the TO_DATE functions:
TO_DATE(character_string , format_model)
i.e.
. . . . . BETWEEN TO_DATE(Start_Date,'MM/DD/YY') AND TO_DATE(End_Date,'MM/DD/YY')
Hope this helps.

Help Needed in SQL QPAC

Hi there,
I need some help regarding the SQL QPAC which is a built in QPAC in Adobe Livecycle Workflow. The SQL QPAC takes MYSQL as the default database. Suppose if we need to connect to the SQL Server or any other database, what is the procedure to do that.
Suraj

Hi Suraj
You need to deploy a second copy of the SQL QPAC, and point it at a different datasource. The datasource is defined as a deployment parameter (it will prompt you when you deploy the new version of the qpac).
You will also need to define the datasource in your application server. This is done in different ways for different application servers - for details, please see: standards_based_qpacs.pdf (part of the Workflow SDK), page 12, "Creating a JNDI datasource".
Alternately, you can try out our SQLPlus QPAC. This allows you to directly specify connection url, driver, username and password. The SQLPlus QPAC does a lot of other things that the regular SQL QPAC doesn't do, such as handling multiple rows, testing your query, and outputting the data in a variety of ways.

Urgent ==can somebody help in constructing SQL statement

Hi,
I have a table called cgryrel with data and fieldnames like below:
CGRYREL

502 511
502 512

I am trying to get a count of rows that are related to crpcgnbr=502.
To get this information I tried with below SQL statement and ,I get only top level.
select count(*) from cgryrel where crpcgnbr=502
result : 3
I want all rows that are connected to 502?
can somebody in the forum tell me,what I am doing wrong???
Thanks
Jack

Hi limeybrit9,
Lluis ...Doesn't that method sort of require that you already know how
many indentation levels there are if you want all numbers related to
502?Yes, it does. I already said that in my post. I understand that making a select with, lets say, 100 tables supporting 100 indentation levels might be, at least, ugly to see. But it works and it's fast enough.

VCM installation help needed on SQL DB and Reporting server

Hi All,
I'm new to VCM and now i got stuck at the SQL DB and Report server portion.
I'm running the vcm server on VM and the SQL is a physical server, both are sitting on the same LAN.
I have create the SQL DB but VCM just fail to validate the DB and report server.
I login to VCM using a Domain account for installation, and i tried to testing the DB using ODBC from the window, result fail.
Error message as attach.
I'm now totally lost on SQL portion.
My Question:
Is there any configuration needed on SQL DB?
How to get the reporting server to working?
What port is needed to it all working??
VCM server Ms Win2012.
SQL version 2012.
Many thanks to all who reply.

Hi Simonhoo79,
For SSRS, first check whether the report server link is accessible from your browser : "http://s01-fes-vcm1:80/ReportServer" . If you continue to get 404 error there also, then you need to reconfigure you report server first before proceeding to vcm installation. Follow the steps on below link on how to reconfigure report server using report services configuration Manager for 404 error.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/75910bcb-a879-4eb7-9757-acc45201fa3a/can-not-connect-to-reportserver-http-404-file-not-found?forum=sqlexpress
For SQL server ODBC connection,
Dont create ODBC connection for SQL Native Client. Create ODBC connection for SQL Server.
1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator
2. Click User DSN tab and Click Add button.
3. Select SQL server and click finish
4. Give name and description and Give the SQL server name (with instance name if your using named instance) or IP in the Server text box.
5. Click Next and select either Windows authentication or sql authentication based on your SQL server authentication mode and click next.
6. If the details given are correct then it will proceed further and check "Change the dafault database to" to your VCM database
7. Click next and finish and try test data source.
VCM 5.7.2 and below will support installation only on windows server 2008 R2 and it doesn't support windows server 2012 but it support both 2008 and 2012 sql servers.

Help needed in SQL performance - Using CASE in SQL statement versus 2 query

Hi,
I have a requirement to find count from a bunch of tables.
The SQL I have gives the count of all members.
I have created 2 queries to find count of active and inactive members.
The key difference is only the active dates.
Each query takes 20 seconds to execute.
I modified the SQL to use CASE statement in the SELECT.
So after the data is fetched the CASE statement will evaluate the active date and gives 2 counts (active and inactive)
Is it advisable to use this approach. Will CASE improve SQL performance ? I have to justify this.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
J

Hi,
If it can be done in single SQL do it in single SQL.
You said:
Will CASE improve SQL performance There can be both cases to prove if the performance is better or worse.
In your case you should tell us how it is.

Bhushan

Need help in a sql statement

Hi, I have some data like the following and I need to get only one row instead of two.
Current data:
ID Time_Type Time
A_xyz Check_In 2009-02-11 07:00 AM
A_xyz Check_out 2009-02-12 10:00 AM
I want it in the following format:
ID Check_in_Time Check_out_time
A_xyz 2009-02-11 07:00 AM 2009-02-12 10:00 AM
There are about 10 more fields in the table but all other data is same except for the time. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Yes, I already had queries using max but then I found that I could not use them as I don't know how many time_types there would be. I appologize I should have mentioned this in my first post and had posted some additional info.
In my example time_types are as check_in and check_out but infact the types are codes and they don't tell if they are check in or check out. All I need is to convert the rows into columns. I can call my columns col1, col2 etc instead of check_in_time and check_out_time.
Also, I am giving you guys an example but it is exactly same as our real data.
Thanks again.

Need help about distributed sql statement

Hello everybody
Enviroment:
Oracle 11g R1.
This Database was fine, 'till some days ago that a new system was deployed on other database. New system runs some SELECT querys to a my database using db_links. These statements are blocking some resources and 'cause that they are blocking many users of my database. I can see on Enterprise Manager this wait event : "enq: TM contention".
Now my question is, why are these querys are blocking resources and users if they are only of type SELECT??? I thought that querys that did this were DML and DDL statements.
Does this behavior is related with that those querys are executed by a distributed way (using dblinks)??
Thanks a lot

Hi,
welcome to the forum.
Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
When you put some code or output please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}{noformat}
i.e.:

Help needed for SQL query

what I want is list of all groups with id,name and #of members(which is the # of rows in the user_group_t for any given id). Importantly I need the groups with 0 members also to be listed. In short my output should contain exactly the same number of rows as in group_t table with an additional column indicating # of members for that group.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
-Vasanth

Thanks Donald,
Actually I figured it out, with the following query:
select id,name,sum(if(groupid is not null,1,0)) as members from group_t left join user_group_t on id=groupid group by id;
I tried your solution, but mysql says there is an error at '+' . Anyway I modified your solution to the one below and it worked.
select a.id, a.name, count(b.groupid) from group_t a left join user_group_t b on a.id=b.groupid group by a.id, a.name;
I tried that before but then I used Count(*) instead of count on groupid. Your solution is elagant and I will go with yours.
Thanks again.
