Help on a decode statement

I wish to decode a column I've named "Request Description"
to include the data name "Odometer" if odometer exists and if not I want to display the result: ('request_bytes' from 'module_name')
e.g.: 9A from ECM
lines 2,3,4 are the referenced areas.
Here is my entire query:
SELECT distinct vehicle.vin, ada_param.TARGETED_VALUE_ID as "Module ID",
     max(to_char(decode(data_req.NAME,'Odometer','Odometer',
     '%AUTODTC%',ada_param.req_data_bytes||'from'||module.name))) as "Request Description",

Help with Nesting DECODE statements

Hello. I'm trying to write a sql script to generate data report for payments. I need to incorporate specific conditions to SUPPRESS BLANK ADDRESS field lines. I am pulling Address_Line1, Address_Line2, Address_Line3, plus CITY, STATE, ZIP as Address_Line4. If any fields are blank, I need to suppress the blank line and move the other lines up.
Here are my IF, THEN, ELSE conditions. There are 9 possible scenarios that I have identified. Can you please help me write this in SQL with the DECODE function?

Immediate help required with decode statement in scheduling jobs

Hi
Iam trying to change a job that runs my procedure using dbms_job.. Here is the output I got.
Can someone help me why this is giving me errors.

Help! format of decode statements with between or signs ?

Looking for an example of a decode statement with either a between/and or < > signs in the comparison field.
I have tried several variations, but none seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's a sample that doesn't work.
Select course_no, section_no, capacity, decode(capacity, (capacity < 12), Less than 12, (capacity between 13 and 15), 13-15, More than 15) from section;
Thanks in advance

Hi,
There is a limitation to the Case function, as it cannot be used in the PL/SQL (atleast upto Oracle 8i). Therefore, the only option left is Decode.
If you have to compare the values like capacity < 12 then display Less than 12. You can write it using combination of other functions.
For e.g. follow the steps below:-
1)If you deduct 12 from capacity : (capacity-12) [it will give result as +ve, 0 or -ve.]
2)If you have to narrow down the values to above three options, use function sign:
SIGN(capacity-12) [will result into +1, 0 or -1]
3)Then compare the values using Decode:
DECODE(SIGN(capacity-12),-1,Less than 12,Greater than or equal to 12)
The Decode can be used inside Decode(nested Decode) in above steps to compare more than one values (range between) to get the desired result. Hope have made it clear enough. If not, please let me know.
Cheers.

Need help in decode statement to check condition

Hi All,
I have table emp with below structure
empno
work_phone_no
Home_phone
cell_phone
For the employee if work_phone & Home Phone is null then in place of work_phone we need to send the cell_phone number.
How to use the decode statement in this scenario to test for Home_phone
condition in the select statement.
select DECODE (work_phone_no,
null, cell_phone_no,office_phone_no )
from emp
Thanks

Hi,
Given the data you posted:
empno work_phone_no home_phone_no cell_phone_no
1     null          80032108556   8003210855
2     null          null          8003210000 and your requirement is
"If work & Home nunbers are null then display cellhone number in place of workphone number "
, then, as John said, you do not want the results you posted. You want:
1 null       80032108556
2 8003210000 null That is, on the first row, where empno=1, the work_phone_no is NULL because the home_phone_no is NOT NULL, and cell_phone_no is only to be shown when both of the other phone numbers are missing.
To get the results above, use CASE:
SELECT empno
,       CASE
            WHEN work_phone_no IS NULL
              AND home_phone_no IS NULL
            THEN cell_phone_no
            ELSE work_phone_no
        END AS work_phone_no
,       home_phone_no
FROM    ...If you really do want the results you posted, then, as John said, use NVL.

How to determine INT and FLOAT in a DECODE statement

Can anyone help me with the following problem:
I have a column defined as a NUMBER(15,4). I am trying to determine the java type using the getScale() method in ResultSetMetaData. When the scale is greater than 0, then it is an float, else it is an int. In this case, the getScale() method should return 4. However, when querying with a DECODE statement on the NUMBER(15,4) field, the getScale() method always returns 0 and the value is therefore converted to an int. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Alcides,
Oracle NUMBER data type is mapped to "java.math.BigDecimal" class.
You will find more information in the JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference which is part of the Oracle documentation and available from:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html
Good Luck,
Avi.

DECODE statement

please can someone kindly code the following line of SQL using the DECODE statement:

This is what i need translated to DECODE:
"case when
Student_Status in ('Registered','Repeat','Referral', 'Deferral') and GRADE is not 'MISSING'
then EXAM1_RESULT
else Null end as Valid_EX1"
the issue is with the NOT 'MISSING' string.Check this. Just re-arrange of Andrés Muchiut post

Decode statement in a mapping involve Source Text File & Table.

Hi All,
Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Client: 9.2.0.4.0
Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Repository: 9.2.0.2.0
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
Does OWB allow to use Decode statement in a mapping involves Source Text File and Oracle Table.
My understanding is it's not possible, since OWB makes use of Sqlloader. For this work arround could be make use of External Table instead of Text Flat File.
However I came across an old posting (June-2003) which says that this feature is available OWB 9.2.
Following is the url:
IF THEN LOGIC from Flat File to Table
Can someone please confirm this?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi all,
If you want to validate correctly this mapping you must to :
1. Right click on the mapping, then Configure
2. Right click on Sql Loader Data Files, then Create
3. Verify that the location name is correct and complete the Data File Name
4. OK
The validation is now OK.
I hope it will be help you

Help with Select Decode Round

Hi, If anyone could help me with this. I need to round all these numbers in the DECODE but without repeating ROUND.
This way works:
SELECT title "Title", category "Category",retail "Current Price",
DECODE(category,
'COMPUTER',(ROUND(retail * 1.1,2)),
'FITNESS', (ROUND(retail * 1.15,2)),
'SELF HELP', (ROUND(retail * 1.25,2)),
(ROUND(retail * 1.03,2)))"Revised Price"
FROM books
ORDER BY category, title;
But I need something more like this:
SELECT title "Title", category "Category",retail "Current Price",
DECODE (ROUND((category,
'COMPUTER',retail * 1.1,
'FITNESS', retail * 1.15,
'SELF HELP', retail * 1.25,
retail * 1.03)"Revised Price"),2)
FROM books
ORDER BY category, title;
so that ROUND is not repeated more than once..they all need to be rounded to two decimal places.
any help would be great. Thanks

your second is close. You need to round the decode statement. like this:
SELECT title "Title", category "Category",retail "Current Price",
       ROUND(DECODE(category, 'COMPUTER',retail * 1.1,
                              'FITNESS', retail * 1.15,
                              'SELF HELP', retail * 1.25,
                              retail * 1.03),2) "Revised Price"
FROM books
ORDER BY category, title;Note that the alias (I assume) revised Proce needs to go outside of both the decode and the round.

Hi Charan
i think it's all about using both CHARACTER and DATE values at the same time in a DECODE statment u should either use char or date datatype.
DECODE compares expr to each search value one by one. If expr is equal to a search, then Oracle Database returns the corresponding result. If no match is found, then Oracle returns default. If default is omitted, then Oracle returns null.
e.g.
If expr and search are character data, then Oracle compares them using nonpadded comparison semantics.
expr, search, and result can be any of the datatypes CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, or NVARCHAR2.
The string returned is of VARCHAR2 datatype and is in the same character set as the first result parameter.
for more pls have a look here
Hope this helps,

How to replace huge decode statements with lookups to some simple code/key

I have a legacy PL/SQL application, composed of many very huge decode statements. And the most terribe one is that the guys who develops the application left the company now, leaves no documentation.
We are trying to read and understand those PL/SQL programs, and I'm asked to replace those huge decode statements with lookups to some simple code/key tables? But I have no idea about how to design such code/key tables. Is there any one who has similar experience may help me? Besides code/key tables, any idea will be welcome.
Thank you very much!

Not sure what your data looks like but sometimes decode can be replaced with more appropriate functions, ie;
SQL> with t as (
   select 'DAY' a, 30 b, null c, null d from dual union all
   select null a, null b, 'MONTH' c, 12 from dual)
select coalesce(b,d)
from t
COALESCE(B,D)
           30
           12
2 rows selected.
SQL> with t as (
   select 'DAY' a, 30 b, null c, 0 d from dual union all
   select null a, 0 b, 'MONTH' c, 12 from dual)
select greatest(b,d)
from t
GREATEST(B,D)
           30
           12
2 rows selected.

Decode statement in Select line of a View Object Query

I attempted to create a view object in expert mode with a customized query.
The query had a decode statement in the select line of the query. The view
object compiled correctly but gave an error when run.
ex: select .... decode(CrpSchools.SCHOOLS_ID,null,CrpCustSchools.SCHOOL_NAME,CrpSchools.SCHOOL_NAME) SCHOOL_VALUE, ...
from ....
where ....
The error was that school_value does not exist in the statement. I got the error when
doing a vo.executeQuery().
When I removed the decode statement everything worked correctly. Does anyone know if
the decode statement cannont be used in the select line of a query in a view object?
Or maybe I was linking the query column (SCHOOLS_ID) up to the view attribute (SCHOOL_VALUE) incorrectly in the
Attribute Mappings tab of the VO wizard?

There should be no problem using a DECODE() statement, provided that you've aliases the column as you have done.
At design time, if you click on the (Test) button, does your query test ok?
Are you by chance applying a custom where clause at runtime?
If so, are you saying:
setWhereClause("yourtable.column_alias = ?";
or are you doing:
setWhereClause("column_alias = ?";
for an expert-mode query, you'll need to use the latter syntax.

Logical Standby SQL Apply Using Incorrect Decode Statement

We are seeing statements erroring out on our logical standby that have been rewritten (presumably by sql apply) with decode statements that don't appear to be correct. For example, here is one of the rewritten statements.
update /*+ streams restrict_all_ref_cons */ "CADPROD"."OMS_SQL_STATEMENT" p
set *"APPLICATION"=decode(:1,'N',"APPLICATION",:2)*,
"STATEMENT"=dbms_reputil2.get_final_lob(:3,"STATEMENT",:4)
where (:5='N' or(1=1 and (:6='N' or(dbms_lob.compare(:7,"STATEMENT")=0)or(:7 is null and "STATEMENT" is null)))) and(:8="APPLICATION")
The problem comes in, we believe, with the attempt to write the value "APPLICATION" to the application column which is only a 10 character field. the value for the :1 bind variable is "N" and the value for :2 is null.
We see the following error on the logical standby:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kgh_heap_sizes:ds], [0x01FCDBE60], [], [], [], [], [], []
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [ACCESS_VIOLATION] [kxtoedu+54] [PC:0x2542308] [ADDR:0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF] [UNABLE_TO_READ] []
ORA-12899: value too large for column "CADPROD"."OMS_SQL_STATEMENT"."APPLICATION" (actual: 19576, maximum: 10)
Is this a configuration issue or is it normal for SQL Apply to convert statements from logminer into decode statements?
We have an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database running on windows 2003 R2 64-bit os. We have 3 physical and 2 logical standby's, no problems on the physical standbys.

Hello;
I noticed some of your parameters seem to be wrong.
fal_client - This is Obsolete in 11.2
You have db_name='test' on the Standby, it should be 'asadmin'
fal_server=test is set like this on the standby, it should be 'asadmin'
I might consider changing VALID_FOR to this :
VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES)Would review 4.2 Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating a Logical Standby Database of Oracle Document E10700-02
Document 278371.1 is showing its age in my humble opinion.
-----Wait on this until you fix your parameters----------------------
Try restarting the SQL Apply
ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATEI don't see the parameter MAX_SERVERS, try setting it to 8 times the number of cores.
Use these statements to trouble shoot :
SELECT NAME, VALUE, UNIT FROM V$DATAGUARD_STATS;
SELECT NAME, VALUE FROM V$LOGSTDBY_STATS WHERE NAME LIKE ;TRANSACTIONS%';
SELECT COUNT(1) AS IDLE_PREPARERS FROM V$LOGSTDBY_PROCESS WHERE
TYPE = 'PREPERER' AND STATUS_CODE = 16166;Best Regards
