Help with nested if statements

Can anyone see what is wrong with this? The parameter value is 3. I commented out 4-12 to narrow down the issue. If I run it like this, I get 0. However if I comment out 1 and 2 and just leave the logic for 3, I get the actual numbers. Where is it getting stuck?

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?
IF CITY||STATE||ZIP IS NULL
THEN AD1='12115 Rainbow Road', AD2='Hartford Heights, MO 60226'

3 where address_line1='3457 SOLUTIONS CENTER'
4 and address_line2 is null;
ADDRESS_LINE1

Need help with the session state value items.

I need help with the session state value items.
Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
in table A.
When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
in table A.
In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
How can I implement this?

You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
For example
SELECT YN_COLUMN
FROM My_TABLE
INTO My_Page_Item
WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

Help with this update statement..

Hi everyone,
I am trying to update a column in a table .I need to update that column
with a function that takes patient_nbr and type_x column values as a parameter.
That table has almost "300,000" records. It is taking long time to complete
almost 60 min to 90 min.
Is it usual to take that much time to update that many records?
I dont know why it is taking this much time.Please help with this update statement.
select get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x) partner_id from test_load;
(it is just taking 20 - 30 sec)
I am sure that it is not the problem with my function.
I tried the following update and merge statements .Please correct me if i am wrong
in the syntax and give me some suggestions how can i make the update statement fast.
update test_load set partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x);
merge into test_load a
using (select patient_nbr,type_x from test_load) b
on (a.patient_nbr = b.patient_nbr)
when matched
then
update
set a.partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(b.patient_nbr,1,9),b.type_x);
there is a index on patient_nbr column
and the statistics are gathered on this table.

Hi Justin,
As requested here are the explain plans for my update statements.Please correct if i am doing anything wrong.

Hi,
Never write, much less post, unformatted code.
Indent the code to show the extent of multi-line structures like BEGIN and CASE.
For example:
DECLARE
     /* Set supported version here */
     ora_version       VARCHAR2 (4);
     unsupp_version       EXCEPTION;
     /* Archive Log Info */
     db_log_mode      VARCHAR2 (12);
BEGIN
     SELECT     SUBSTR(VERSION, 1, 4)
     INTO     ora_version
     FROM     v$instance;
     SELECT     log_mode
     INTO     db_log_mode
     FROM     v$database;
     CASE
         WHEN ora_version = '10.2' THEN
          DECLARE
              TYPE t_db IS RECORD(
                         dflsh     VARCHAR2(3),
                         dcscn      NUMBER);
              v_db t_db;
          BEGIN
              CASE
                  WHEN db_log_mode = 'ARCHIVELOG' THEN
                   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT INITCAP(flashback_on), current_scn FROM v$database'
                                       INTO v_db;
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Flashback On : ' || v_db.dflsh);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Current SCN : ' || v_db.dcscn);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Log Mode : ' || db_log_mode);
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Version : ' || ora_version);
              END;
...The code above is what you posted, with some whitespace added.
The error is much clearer; the last CASE statement concludes with END, but CASE blocks always have to conclude with END CASE .
Why are you using a nested BEGIN block in the code above? Are you plannning to add an EXCEPTION handler later?
When posting formatted text on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.

Help with a CASE statement

Please help me with a CASE Statement:
- When ID = 15, 16, 17, 18 then "Bad"
- when ID = 19, then "Average"
- when ID = 21, then "Good"
- else "Null"
Thank you!!

Well the 1st thing to do would be to correct my poor spelling... change    Delault : to Default :
Don't know why you would get an error stating "The result of selection formula must be a boolean". It's working fine on my machine.
If your ID field is numbers stored text you have a couple different options...
1) Convert the ID to a number...
Select ToNumber({home.noone_ID})
2) Wrap the ID values in double quotes...
   Case "15", "16", "17", "18" :
      "BAD"
Even if this were your problem... the error should be something other than the boolean thing...

PHP help with nested repeat region

Hopefully someone can help me out with this one.
I basically have some SQL returning results of a search page,
where you can search on various keywords by checking boxes, and it
returns Employers that match those keywords :
mysql_select_db($database_myDatabase, $myDatabase);
if (isset($_GET['ckbox'])){
// get profile keys
$ckbox = array_keys($_GET['ckbox']);
// sql string
$sql = 'SELECT Employers.*, EmployerContacts.* FROM
EmployerContacts
INNER JOIN Employers ON EmployerContacts.EmployerID =
Employers.EmployerID
INNER JOIN EmployerProfiles ON EmployerProfiles.EmployerID =
EmployerContacts.EmployerID
WHERE EmployerProfiles.ProfileID IN(' . implode(',',
$ckbox).')
GROUP BY Employers.EmployerID
ORDER BY Employers.EmployerID DESC';
$rsContacts = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsContacts = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsContacts);
@$totalRows = mysql_num_rows($rsContacts);
else
echo 'You did not check any profiles.';
?>
The results are drawing fields from the Employers table and
EmployerContacts table, hopefully to look like :
Employer1
Employer1.Contact 1
Employer1.Contact 2
Employer1.Contact 3
Employer2
Employer2.Contact 1
Employer2.Contact 2
Employer2.Contact 3
etc
However, I can only seem to get it to repeat the Employers,
and show just the first Contact for each, like this :
Employer1
Employer1.Contact 1
Employer2
Employer2.Contact 1
etc
So I guess I'm looking for help with looping through the
Contacts for each Employer.
The code currently looks like this :
[code attached]
Hope that makes sense.
Many thanks.

Iain71,
The DW Repeat Region cannot be nested because both loops use
the same
variable names (e.g. $RepeatSelectionCounter_1).
You will have to manually edit the code, and DW may not
recognize it
after you do, but you should be able to get it working fairly
easily. I
think that you just need to change the variable names in the
inner loop
so that they do not conflict with the similar names in the
outer loop
(e.g. rename $RepeatSelectionCounter_1 to
$RepeatSelectionCounter_2).
Does that make sense?
HTH,

Help with a return statement please!

hey, just hoping somone can help me with this return statement
i have to add a method called "specialReport" this method takes a year as it's parameter. if the parameter is not a year between 1930 and 1969 inclusive it displays an error message, "not a valid year"
if the parameter is a valid year, then it compares the parameter with the year field. if they are the same, and is the movie has been rented at least five times, the method will display the message "a good year for movies" if the years are different or the movie has NOT been rented at least five times, the method displays the message "try a different year"
btw, the Year field is : yearReleased
all help is very much appreciated!

public void specialReport(int year){
//add functionality to process here
return;
}

Looking for some help with building insert statements...

Hi, I am using some sql to build some insert statements for me to update a set of tables in our qa environments. The scripts that I have created were working great until someone added a column to some of the tables in the qa env which in turn makes my scripts break because I was simply building the statment to do someting like this...
insert into dest_table (select * from source_table@dblink);
But now when the coumns in the tables do not match it breaks...
This is the dynamic create script I use, can anyone help or suggest a better way to be able to build update statements update to qa tables when the columns are mismatched?
spool insert.sql
select
'insert into ' || table_name || ' (select * from ' || table_name || '@prod );' || chr(10) || ' commit;'
from user_tables
where table_name in
(select * from refresh_tablesl)
any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

See my reply to your duplicate post

Help with multiple case statements

Hello,
I am new to BO. I am on XI 3.0. SQL 2005. In Designer, I am trying to create a measure in a financial universe that would end up being multiple case statements within one select. This is what I tried to do, but it doesn't work with the two case statements. Can I use an ELSE leading into the second CASE WHEN somehow? How can I accomplish this? Sorry for my ignorance!
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 12 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month = 11 THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales END
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Holly

Holly,
I don't know enough about your data or requirement to provide a solution, however, the construct that you post will not work because it causes you to build an object with multiple case statements when only one case statement per object is permitted. From what I see in your code I would be inclined to combine the two statements into one as such:
CASE WHEN dbo.ClientBudgetYear.DateStage1Approved > 01/01/1900 AND dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Month in (11,12) THEN dbo.ClientBudgetMonth.Stage1Sales else null END
Thanks,
John

Please Help: Trouble with nested CASE statement and comparing dates

Please tell me why the query below is always returning the bold null even when the start_date of OLD is greater than or equal to the start_date of NEW.
What I want to do is get the difference of the start_dates of two statuses ( Start_date of OLD - Start_date of NEW) if
1. end_date of NEW is not null
2. start_date of OLD is greater than start_date of NEW
else return null.
select id,
case when max(end_date) keep (dense_rank last order by decode(request_wflow_status,'New',1,0),start_date) is null then
null
else
          case when max(decode(status,'OLD',start_date,null)) > max(decode(status,'NEW',start_date,null))
          then max(decode(status,'OLD',start_date,null)) - max(decode(status,'NEW',start_date,null))
else
null
end
end result
from cc_request_status where id =1
group by id;

Avinash,
Thank you for your help.. Here is a more description of my problem..
Here is a sample of data I have for a table with four columns (id,status,start_date,end_date)
What I need to do is to get difference of the start dates of the maximum available dates, if data is valid. The pseducode is as follows:
IF end_date of New status is null
THEN return null
ELSE
IF start_date of old >= start_date of new
THEN return (start_date of old - start_date of new)
ELSE return null
I used the following query but always return the bold null
select id,
(case when max(end_date) keep (dense_rank last order by decode(status,'new',1,0),start_date) is null then
null
else
          (case when max(decode(status,'old',start_date,null)) >=
          max(decode(status,'new',start_date,null))
          then max(decode(status,'old',start_date,null)) - max(decode(status,'new',start_date,null))
else
null
end)
end) result
from tbl where id =1
Based on the below sample, I expected to get the following result; 14-Mar-07 - 16-Feb-07 which is the difference of the maximum start_dates of the two statuses. However the query is not working.. Please help me.. Thank you..
Id    Status    start_date      end_date
1     new      03-Feb-07      07-Feb-07
1     new      16-Feb-07      21-Feb-07
1     old      '10-Mar-07      12-Mar-07
1     old      '14-Mar-07      16-Mar-07

Help with an If Statement for a Message Dialog

Hello all! I need help yet once again! I would prefer hints and nudges rather then the answer please, as this is for a homework assignment. Okay I am supposed to write a program that has 3 text boxes to enter a number between 0 and 255 (for red green and blue) and then the user should push the show button and the background color should change, which I have all working! But I am supposed to have a " gracefully handle the situation where the user enters an invalid color value (any number less than zero or greater than 255)" and I have the if statement written, but for some reason, whenever I hit the show button it always pops up that window, no matter what the user types in. So I need help figuring out how to make it stop popping up all of the time! Here is the code: Any other ideas on how to make the code better would be much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!
