Help with Group By on SQL statement

Iu2019m trying to group by Item Code in the following query, however, I keep receiving the following error message. Do you know why?

Dear,
As per your message you mentioned that u r getting following error "
The text, ntext, and image data types cannot be compared or sorted, except when using IS NULL or LIKE operator."
The error is due to group by of a field whose type is text,ntext.....
if it is text or ntext just replace that field
Convert(varchar(100),fieldName)...
Hope it will help you....
Regards

Help With SUBSTR in dynamic SQL statement

Following is the dynamic SQL statement.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE table_name pml
SET pml.'|| con_fields.field ||' = SUBSTR(pml.'||con_fields.field||' ||'' ''||
(SELECT pml1.'||con_fields.field||'
FROM table_name pml1
WHERE pml1.grp_id = '||los_concats.grp_id ||'
AND pml1.row_id = '||los_concats.row_id||'
AND pml1.loser_flg = ''Y''),1, '||con_fields.max_length||')
WHERE pml.grp_id = '||los_concats.grp_id ||'
AND pml.loser_flg IS NULL ';
what it does is that it updates a particular field. This field is concatenated by a field of a similar record.
My problem is with SUBSTR function. Since I am concatenating fields I do not want the field to be updated greater than max_length on that field, the reason why I use SUBSTR. the select query inside SUBSTR works alright with one of the AND condition in a WHERE clause not present. When I add that additional condition it gives me this error.
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
Is there any way to get around this problem. Does SQL has other than SUBSTR function which can limit the character length.
Appreciate it.

The other alternative I thought about was to do this first
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT pml.'||con_fields.field||'
FROM table_name pml
WHERE pml.grp_id = '||los_concats.grp_id||'
AND pml.row_id = '||los_concats.row_id||'
AND pml.loser_flg = ''Y''
' INTO v_concat_field;
write into the variable v_concat_field and then use it into the previous script.
But on this I get SQL Command not properly terminated, I don't get it Why?
Donald I tried with your suggested script. It works fine with one of the conditions eliminated. I don't understand what the error trying to say?
Thanks

Help with a really simple SQL statement

Hi All
I'm relatively new to SQL and can't get my head round what I believe to be a really simple problem.
I have a table I want to query called locations. We use locations to mean groups and regions as well as people s ofr example:
TABLE: LOCATION
IDENTIFIER----------NAME-----------------PART_OF
101--------------------USER A---------------123
123--------------------GROUP A-------------124
etc
What I'm trying to write is a statement that will return the 'PART_OF' as the 'NAME' rather than the ID number if the ID = 101.
I was wondering if a nested select statement would do (select as select etc) but just can't get my head round it!
Any ideas?
TIA. Jake.

Hi Jake,
It's not clear what you are looking for. If USER A is just Part of GROUP A, a self-join will do:
SQL> with loc as (select 101 locid, 'USER A' locname, 123 part_of from dual
             union all
             select 123 locid, 'GROUP A' locname, 124 part_of from dual
             union all
             select 124 locid, 'REGION A' locname, null part_of from dual)
-- End of test data
select l1.locid, l1.locname, l2.locname part_of
from loc l1, loc l2
where l2.locid(+) = l1.part_of
     LOCID LOCNAME PART_OF
       101 USER A   GROUP A
       123 GROUP A REGION A
       124 REGION A
3 rows selected.But if you want USER A to be part of REGION A, then you need a hierarchia lquery:
SQL> with loc as (select 101 locid, 'USER A' locname, 123 part_of from dual
             union all
             select 123 locid, 'GROUP A' locname, 124 part_of from dual
             union all
             select 124 locid, 'REGION A' locname, null part_of from dual)
-- End of test data
select l1.locid, l1.locname, connect_by_root(locname) part_of
from loc l1
start with part_of is null
connect by prior locid = part_of
     LOCID LOCNAME PART_OF
       124 REGION A REGION A
       123 GROUP A REGION A
       101 USER A   REGION A
3 rows selected.Regards

Help with a very slow sql statement

Hi this statement takes 10 seconds to run and is run a lot, can anyone help me speed it up.
Each section in itself is quick but when i add the IN section it slows down, probably because there is 20291 rows in the view v_allitems.
anyone know how i can speed up?
select ITEMTYPE,
ITEMID,
NOTESID,
NOTES,
DUEDATE,
OPENDATE,
SUBJECT,

ITEMCODE
FROM v_allitems
where
ITEMCODE in ( 'ACT,'||4264) OR ITEMCODE IN
(SELECT pcchildcode
||','
|| pcchild item
FROM afpc
CONNECT BY pcparent = prior pcchild
AND pcparentcode = prior pcchildcode START
WITH pcparent = 232
AND pcparentcode = 'CAS'

SELECT pcparentcode
||','
|| pcparent item
FROM afpc
CONNECT BY pcchild = prior pcparent

Something to just try i guess (wild guessing here).

Help needed writing simple PL/SQL statement

Hi,
I need to run the following delete statement in a PL/SQL procedure but for it to commit every 1000 rows or so. Can anyone help?
DELETE
FROM IDIS.YPROCRULES A
WHERE 1 = 1
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 'X' FROM IDIS.YPROCCTRL B WHERE A.SEQ_0 = B.SEQ_0)
Thanks
Mark

The fastest most efficient way of doing the delete is to write it in one sql statement as you have done.
Commiting every 1000 rows means you have to use row by row processing. A lot of us call this slow by slow processing.
Every time you commit in a loop , you increase the risk of snapshot too old error, plus you actually slow down the processing, as well as give you issues with regards to what happens if your process fails after x iterations. (some of your data is commited, other data is not, how do you restart the process)
The correct approach is to have appropriately sized rollback/undo segments.

you should write a prepared statement like this:
PreparedStatement updateSales = con.prepareStatement(
"UPDATE COFFEES SET SALES = ? WHERE COF_NAME LIKE ?");
where "?" is a placeholder for the values you want to use.
Then later when you want to actually update your database, first set the placeholders to your values (stored in your array for example) using a statement like this:
updateSales.setString(2, "Colombian");
//sets the 2. placeholder in the statement to the value "Colombian"
after having set all placeholders to a specific value, execute your statement:
updateSales.executeUpdate();
your code should like:
sql = "INSERT into Ben values (?,?,?)";
PreparedStatement prepStmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
prepStmt.setString(1, "hello");
prepStmt.setString(2, "hi");
prepStmt.setString(3, "bye");
prepStmt.executeUpdate();
prepStmt.close();

Help! Syntax Error in SQL statement

Hello. I'm getting an error message and I'm just not seeing
where I went wrong. The SQL statement is:
updateSQL = "UPDATE TrainingHistory SET Status='" &
fFormat(Request.Form(cStatus)) & "', StatusComments='" &
fFormat(Request.Form(cStatusComments)) & " WHERE Training_ID="
& fFormat(Request.Form(cTrainingID))
The error message is:
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in
string in query expression '' WHERE Training_ID=9054'.
I've been looking at it for a while. Not sure where I went
wrong. Here is a more complete version of the code:
<%
Function fFormat(vText)
fFormat = Replace(vText, "'", "''")
End Function
Sub sRunSQL(vSQL)
set cExecute = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
With cExecute
.ActiveConnection = MM_coldsuncrea_lms_STRING
.CommandText = vSQL
.CommandType = 1
.CommandTimeout = 0
.Prepared = true
.Execute()
End With
End Sub
If Request.Form("action")="update" Then
'Set variables for update
Dim updateSQL, i
Dim cTrainingID, cStatus, cStatusComments
'Loop through records on screen and update
For i = 1 To fFormat(Request.Form("counter"))
'Create the proper field names to reference on the form
cTrainingID = "Training_ID" & CStr(i)
cStatus = "Status" & CStr(i)
cStatusComments = "StatusComments" & CStr(i)
'Create the update sql statement
updateSQL = "UPDATE TrainingHistory SET Status='" &
fFormat(Request.Form(cStatus)) & "', StatusComments='" &
fFormat(Request.Form(cStatusComments)) & " WHERE Training_ID="
& fFormat(Request.Form(cTrainingID))
'Run the sql statement
Call sRunSQL(updateSQL)
Next
'Refresh page
Response.Redirect("ClassUpdateRoster.asp?Training_ID=") &
(rsClassDetails.Fields.Item("event_ID").Value)
End If
%>

You need another single quote after the double quote before
the WHERE clause. You are not closing the single quote you used to
delimit the value for StatusComments.

Same WITH used in many SQL statements

Hi,
I have a need to use the same WITH clause in many places of my code. Is it ever possible to code without writing the same code in every SQL which need my WITH?
Thanks in advance.

As Tubs mentioned, views.
There only 2 basic methods of modularisation of SQL source code. Using the WITH clause (modularises in the same statement), or VIEWS (modularises across SQL statements).
Using PL/SQL functions or pipelined tables are poor choices for SQL code modularisation. And should not be considered. These tools address a different set of requirements.

Group By in sql statement....

Please Help with group chat probs

I don't get any sound or vibe notification for my group chats also In my group chats if a pic is posted and then comments made on that pic I can't scroll up or down to see all comments. This is something I need to fix as we use pic with chats at work. I can't get the info I need. If any one could help with this problem please do. This problem has only been since I upgraded to the newest bbm messenger last week. I have the Q10. I pulled the battery and sims card but this did nothing to fix the problem. Please if anyone can help!
Thank you all

Please make sure you are using TRUCN() in your GROUP BY expression. This function will truncate the date by removing time content.
Best of luck!

Just a helpful SAP note for slow SQL statements

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to share this SAP note with you. I am sure many of you might have gone through it.

Hi,
I would bet not as many as you might think - many questions here suffering form not GOING through
the analysis before they post it here.
Meantime I think questions to SQL statement performance here will only be answered when the execution plan on the statement is posted with it.

Pleasse help me with this error in SQL statement

Please tell me the error in this query:
the Error given is
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement
given :
Databse is MS Access
In the databse :
account - text
number - text
date - date/time
vendor - text
Connection connection = t.getConnection();
/* t - some object containing a connection*/
Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO Bills (account, number, date, vendor)
VALUES ('vai', '23', 10/12/2006, 'jaadya')");

I would imagine the problem is with the date. Different DBs have different date formats. To avoid that problem, use a PreparedStatement.
java.sql.Date date = ...;
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO Bills (account, number, date, vendor) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
ps.setString(1, "vai");
ps.setString(2, "23);
ps.setDate(3, date);
ps.setString(4, "jaadya");
ps.executeUpdate();This saves you from having to deal with vendors' various date formats, keeps you from having to escape special characters in strings, and prevents SQL injection.
