if i use fully qualified name like pf.Consultant_Staff_Id   query is returning correct value
but if i remove table before the column it is returning 0 .
My question is why am i not receiving error like "column ambiguously defied " ,
with out fully qualified name.what is the reason for this behaviourEdited by: vijayp on Jan 21, 2011 5:53 PM

I can not tell you why ... but I can tell you that in the Best Practice for SQL and PL/SQL white paper written by Bryn Llewellyn he advises always fully qualifying names.
So rather than wondering how to not use "best practice" use it as then the problem goes away.
Please do also keep in mind that your database version is so old it is in desupport and based on your version number could use a good patching if nothing else.

Strange select statement behavior in start routine during extraction

Hi, All..
I'm receiving some odd behavior from a select statment being processed in batch mode (specifically, when run in a normal BW extractor - start routine), the select yields no results .. sy-subrc = 4 and target itab is empty. however, when i run this same select statement in debug, i get sy-subrc = 0 and records are returned!! I tried putting the select statement in a standard abap program & it came back successfully in both foreground & background. something is strange when run in the BW extractor process?? anyone familiar with this?? any help is appreciated!! Thanks!!

Thanks everyone for the comments!
The code is in the start routine from 0BBP_CONF_TD_1 into 0BBP_CON.
-The select returns records when in debug
-I've tried running it open without the "for all entries" & it still fails in batch
-The select works during the delta but always fails on the initial load
The select is a join:
DATA: BEGIN of t_JOIN1 OCCURS 0,
 CONNUM LIKE /BI0/ABBP_CON00-BBP_CON_ID,
 CONITEM LIKE /BI0/ABBP_CON00-BBP_COITEM,

Please Help
Regards
Saad Nisar

Hello Saad,
The reason why you are not getting the 2nd and 5th entries is that, the where conditions vbelv, posnn and vbtyp_n matches for both the 1st and 2nd record where select will pick only the 1st record. The same way for 4th and 5th record. so its picking only 4th.
So to avoid this add even vbeln in the where condition of the select query
LOOP AT itab1.
    SELECT SINGLE * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF wa_vbfa
    FROM vbfa
    WHERE vbelv = itab1-vgbel
    AND posnn = itab1-vgpos
   AND vbeln = itab1-field           " Add the corresponding field here
    AND vbtyp_n = 'M'.
    SELECT SINGLE * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF wa_vbrk
      FROM vbrk
      WHERE vbeln = wa_vbfa-vbeln
      AND vbtyp = 'M'.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
        itab1-lfimg = wa_vbfa-rfmng.
       itab1-old_price = wa_vbfa-rfwrt.
       MODIFY itab1.
       ELSE.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Need help using Select statement to retrieve one record

Hi guys, my first post so be gentle please. The basis of this fucntion is to search my dtabase using the select statement to find the record the user wants, by retrieving the name of theitem from the text box. details are then displayed on a joption message box.
Everytime I run this program it throws an exception 'Exception: null'. Can anyone see where I am going wrong, I have only bn learning java for thepast 6 months so perhaps I am doing something wrong.
Or perhaps there is another way for me to close the st, con, rs?
Your help appreciated
public void searchproducts(){
Connection con = null;
Statement st = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try{
//creating and loading a database connection
String dbUrl = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=db2.mdb;"; // String dbUrl = "jdbc:odbc:people";
String user = "";
String password = "";
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(
dbUrl, user, password);
int count;
st = con.createStatement();
rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT ItemName, Country, Yearmade, ValuePrice, Forsale FROM Collectman WHERE ItemName="+" '"+txtsearchproduct.getText()+"'" );
while(rs.next()) {
String ItemName = rs.getString(1);
String Country = rs.getString(2);
String Yearmade = rs.getString(3);
String ValuePrice = rs.getString(4);
String Forsale = rs.getString(5);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "product details are: " + ItemName + " " + Country + " " + Yearmade + " " + ValuePrice + " " + Forsale);
//It keeps on throwing this excpetion with null
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
} finally {
try {
if(rs != null)
rs.close();
if(st != null)
st.close();
if(con != null)
con.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
}

And while we're waiting on that, I'll just say it's nice to see you almost got the general layout of a db call correct...that's a rare thing around here. The finally should have a try/catch round each of the close statements and not around all three in one go. If the resultset throws an exception in your version then you would fail to close either the statement or the connection.
The second thing is, look up PreparedStatements. They're a better choice for handling SQL requiring variables than using a bog standard Statement.

Need help with select statement or query

Not familiar with what to call it, but here is what i need...
To give our analyst a better idea of warranty on some of our
equipment, i
would like to add to the page a column that displays if the
device is still
under warranty
I currently capture the date the equipment was returned from
repair, so what
could i use within my select statement or query to display a
warranty
expiration date or display on the page...
example :
Returned from repair 10/20/2006 warranty expires on
11/20/2006
each equipment has different warranties, so i need a formula
or something to
say... device #1 has 60 day warranty ( so 10/20/2006 + 60days
=
12/19/2006 )
I would imagine this to be a query
Table 1 would contain the equipment type and warranty time
Table 2 would contain the current status of the equipment
Query would take the back from repair date + warranty =
expiration date

Simple. Join the two tables and create a derived column for
the expiration date. The exact syntax is dependant on your DBMS, so
check the manual for whichever you are using and look at the date
functions. There will be a function that will allow you to add a
number of date units (day, month, year, etc) to a date
field.

Help with select statement

Hello,
My table looks similar to this, I have removed a few columns:
table1:
Forecast_id Forecast_name Freeze Enabled
100 Q12009 N Y
101 Q22009 N Y
table2:
forecast_id parameter_name parameter_value
100 StartDate 01/01/2009
100 EndDate 03/31/2009
100 Growth % 20
100 Retailer Walmart
101 StartDate 04/01/2009
101 EndDate 06/30/2009
101 Growth % 20
101 Retailer Walmart
What i need to do is
select from table 1, forecast name & freeze
where in table2 parameter = Retailer, Parameter value = Walmart and
Start Date = 01/01/2009 and End Date = 03/31/2009
here is my query is there a easy way this can be done. I have used decode function in the past for similar situation for counting and grouping.
SELECT i.FORECAST_ID,
i.FORECAST_NAME,
i.FREEZE_FLAG
FROM (
SELECT x.FORECAST_ID,
x.FORECAST_NAME,
x.FREEZE_FLAG
FROM (
SELECT A.FORECAST_ID,
A.FORECAST_NAME,
A.FREEZE_FLAG
FROM GC_FORECAST A, GC_FORECAST_PARAMETERS B
WHERE A.FORECAST_ID = B.FORECAST_ID
AND B.PARAMETER_NAME = 'Retailer'
AND B.PARAMETER_VALUE = 'Walmart'
) x, GC_FORECAST_PARAMETERS y
WHERE x.FORECAST_ID = y.FORECAST_ID
AND y.PARAMETER_NAME = 'StartDate'
AND y.PARAMETER_VALUE = '01/01/2009'
) i, GC_FORECAST_PARAMETERS j
WHERE i.FORECAST_ID = j.FORECAST_ID
AND j.PARAMETER_NAME = 'EndDate'
AND j.PARAMETER_VALUE = '03/31/2009';
Thank you for your time and help.

Do you see a version number in what you posted?
Perhaps DDL for the tables, constraints and indexes?
Perhaps the DML that inserted a couple of sample rows?
How about the SQL statement you wrote that is not doing what you want?
Neither do I so no help is possible at this time.
We can not look over your shoulder at your monitor. We can not read your mind. We have no idea what you are doing or in what environment you are trying to do it.
What you have asked is roughly equivalent to ... "My 1996 Mercedes Benz 320SL won't start please tell me why?"
Perhaps it is out of gas. Perhaps the battery is dead. Perhaps you just didn't turn the key far enough. You get the point.

Help with SELECT - selecting range of numbers

Hi,
I need a help with SELECT statement. I want to select Dates starting from today and ending 30 days back. So the result would be like:
TRUNC(SYSDATE)
TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 1
TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 2
TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 3
TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 30I was thinking to simply select truncated SYSDATE in first column, and in second column numbers 0, 1, 2, ... 30. Then I would simply do a difference first column - second column. But how to select such sequence of numbers? I don't want to select each number (date) in separate select statement and then unioning them.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks for help, Dan

SELECT statement in FROM clause - syntax help

Hi,
I want to have a SELECT statement in the FROM clause. I get syntax error when doing this and since I am new to ABAP I need som help.
I want to do the following, (and if anyone has any SELECT statement from their own system which you know there is no syntax error in please post it here so I can analyze the syntax):
*I leave the INTO itab clause out, since I only want to demonstrate the functionality
I am trying to get.
SELECT tableOne~someField
FROM tab AS tableOne (SELECT someField
 FROM tab
 WHERE someFiled > 1) AS tableTwo
WHERE tableOnesomeField > tableTwosomeField
like I said, the problem is that the select statement in the parenthesis in the from clause seems to be incorrect because I get "wrong expression" when trying to compile. Is this because I cannot have a select statement in the from clause or is it because of a minor syntax error, such as I forgot a dot, or some other sign?
thanks and regards
Baran

sorry i am not enough familiar with sub queries but some error i can see which i will state here.
1> you have to use sub queries i.e. select in ( ) after where clause because here you are fulfilling a where clause by another select statement.
like this
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT
 INTO WA
 WHERE SEATSOCC = ( SELECT MAX( SEATSOCC ) FROM SFLIGHT ).
2> you cannot specify field name without into clause either you have to use
select * or select f1 into tab-f1 like this...
but if you are using select * without into you have to define
tables : dbtab.
selec * from dbtab. like that.

MySQL Select Statement Help Required

I am trying to generate a report in VS 2008 (C#) using a mysql select statement but cannot get it right.
I have groups that meet on a weekly basis on different days. I want to generate a report that shows me all the members that have not attended their group where they have missed 3 meetings in a row.
Below is the select statement I have tried but it does not give me the results I am looking for. I have tried to look at all the meetings in a 4 week period but would prefer to look at the last 3 meetings that are recorded. Some groups might not record a meeting every week. So I want to look at the last 3 recorded meetings and count each members attendance and only report on the members with more than 3 meetings missed.
SELECT COUNT(`groupattendance`.`Attended`) AS Attendance, `smallgroupform`.`MeetingDate`, `userinfo`.`FirstName`, `userinfo`.`Surname`, `smallgroup`.`GroupName`, `groupattendance`.`Attended`, `groupattendance`.`UserID`, `groupattendance`.`GroupID`
FROM ((`anatomy`.`groupattendance` `groupattendance`
INNER JOIN `anatomy`.`smallgroupform` `smallgroupform` ON `groupattendance`.`FormID` = `smallgroupform`.`FormID`)
INNER JOIN `anatomy`.`userinfo` `userinfo` ON `groupattendance`.`UserID` = `userinfo`.`UserID`)
INNER JOIN `anatomy`.`smallgroup` `smallgroup` ON `groupattendance`.`GroupID` = `smallgroup`.`GroupID`
WHERE (`smallgroupform`.`MeetingDate` >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 4 WEEK) AND `smallgroupform`.`MeetingDate` <= CURDATE()) AND `groupattendance`.`Attended` = 'False'
GROUP BY `userinfo`.`UserID`
HAVING Attendance >= 3
Thanks,
Garth.

Hi Garth,
Seems no one can help you directly. Try googling your SQL request. Someone may be able to help you. At this point its not really a Cr problem.
One option is to get all the data and add filtering using the record selection formula.
Thank you
Don
