Help with query to return last possible value

Can someone please help me create a query for the situation below?
Table: TABLEA
Columns:
FACID VARCHAR2(10),
DEPTID VARCHAR2(10),
CHARGENUMBER NUMBER(10)
I have the following data:
A, B, 1
A, B, 2
C, D, 3
C, D, 4
Would like to return the following:
A, B, 2
C, D, 4
In other words, I would like to return the last possible CHARGENUMBER for FACID and DEPTID.
The table does not have any indexes and it gets loaded from a spreadsheet in that order.
Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!Hi girl from amazon,
I hope you give me a note because I answered for a lot of questions and nobody aprecieted that. If you don't me a little point I wil leave this forum because isn't so funny to work for nothing.
You are my last chance to stay here!

Help with query to return results from group within table?

Hi
Im a total noob, so please be gentle....!
I am looking at a table that has a WORD column and a WORD_TYPE_ID column.
Words can have the same type_id.
What I am trying to do is write a query that will return the longest word for each word_type_id.
I have been trying for hours to get this and all I seem to get is either error messages or I return the longest word in the whole WORD column.
The furthest I can get before things break down is.....
select word
from table
where
length(word) =
select
max(length(word))
from table
Any help on this or if I could be pointed in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Here's one way:
SELECT    word_type_id
,       MIN (word) KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDDER BY LENGTH (word))     AS longest_word
FROM       table_x
GROUP BY word_type_id;If there happens to be a tie within some word_type_id (that is, 2 or more words have exactly the same length, which is the longest in that group) the expression above will return the first one, in alphabetic order. (That's what MIN means here.)

You almost had it.
As you noticed, you were getting the longest row in the whole table. That's because your sub-query was looking at the whole table.
If you correlate the sub-query to the row in the main table, as shown below, you can get the longest word in each group:
select word
from     table     m                              -- m for main
where      length (word) = (
                            select max (length(word))
               from     table
               where     word_type_id = m.word_type_id     -- New
               );

Help with modal dialog returning a value to the calling page

Greetings,
Apex Version: 4.1.0.0.32
What I am trying to do is to create a modal dialog that is called from a form page. The dialog will present the user with an IR report that will allow the him to select a row and return a value from that row to a field on the calling page. I have it working in Firefox, but I get an error using IE 8. I hope someone can show me why it is not working in IE.
Here is how I am doing it:
From the calling page:
Created a button
     Action: Redirect to URL
     URL Target: javascript:var rc = window.showModalDialog('f?p=&APP_ID.:70:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:::','','resizable:yes;center:yes;dialogWidth:1000px;dialogHeight:500px;');
On the called page:
The called page is an IR report where the query returns this as one of the columns:
*(Note: I had to put a dot '.' in front of the onclick to get it to show in this thread. It is not there in my real code.)*
select
<a href="#" name="z" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline;" .onclick="javascript:passBack(''' || LOT_NO ||''');">Select</a>' SelectThis
, column1
, column2
from sometablename;This resolves the anchor to:
<a .onclick="javascript:passBack('232158');" href="#">Select</a>Here is the Javascript function that is called from the anchor onclick:
function passBack(passVal1)
opener.document.getElementById("P75_ITEM1").value = passVal1;
close();
}When I run this in Firefox, it works as expected. I click on the button on the parent page. The modal dialog is opened and the IR report is displayed. I click on one of the links in the report and it returns the correct value back to the calling page and closes the modal dialog.
When I run it in IE8, it fails. I click on the button on the parent page. The modal dialog is opened and the IR report is displayed. I click on one of the links in the report and I get this error: “opener.document is null or not an object”.
I hope that is clear and that someone can help.
Thanks
Larry

A quick google search determines that window.opener doesn't exists when using window.showModalDialog
Suggestions range from using window.open instead of window.showModalDialog to using dialogArguments instead of window.opener
Try the following:
In the parent page define a getPopupValue() function:
function getPopupValue(){
   var dr = window.showModalDialog('f?p=&APP_ID.:70:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:::','','resizable:yes;center:yes;dialogWidth:1000px;dialogHeight:500px;');
    if ( (dr != undefined) && (dr != '') && (dr != false) ){
     $x("P75_ITEM1").value = dr;
}Change the button url to call the function:
javascript:getPopupValue(); On the popup page change the passback function to:
function passBack(passVal1)
returnValue = passVal1;
close();
}

11g: Multicolumn pivot - help with query

Hi everyone,
My first attempt at posting here was not very successful. I have now read the rules, and done more homework.
I'm fairly new to Oracle databases, but have some experience with MySQL and Postgres from earlier.
First of all, here is an example table of what I have today. This is only an extract of the full table, but these fields are the interesting ones.
CREATE TABLE trans

;As of now, I have a query that returns a data grid from the table, looking exactly like the example table I've included.
Here is a copy of the query that gives the example table as a result from the table in our database:

) order by from_lic, create_dtI would be delighted if you could help me formulating a new query that gives THIS output, from the same table, with the same constraints as in the original query:
CREATE TABLE new_table
     ("FROM_LIC" int, "FLOOR" timestamp, "INFEED" timestamp, "TROLLEY" timestamp, "OUTFEED" timestamp, "STAGING" varchar2(16))
INSERT ALL
     INTO new_table ("FROM_LIC", "FLOOR", "INFEED", "TROLLEY", "OUTFEED", "STAGING")
           VALUES (4100002563, '04-Mar-2013 11:54:00 AM', '04-Mar-2013 11:55:00 AM', '04-Mar-2013 12:01:00 PM', '04-Mar-2013 12:01:00 PM', '03.04.2013 12:01')

SELECT * FROM dual
;What happened here is that for each instance of from_lic, the line yielded from
select distinct from_lic, from_location, to_location, create_dt from trans where to_location like 'INN_MONO___' and create_dt > sysdate-(3/24)The value for CREATE_DT ---> in the new column called FLOOR.
And the following for the rest of the columns:
select distinct from_lic, from_location, to_location, create_dt from trans where from_location like 'INN_MONO___' and to_location like 'INN_MONO%BANE%' and create_dt > sysdate-(3/24)The value for CREATE_DT ---> INFEED.
select distinct from_lic, from_location, to_location, create_dt from trans where from_location like 'INN_MONO%BANE%' and to_location like 'TROLLEY%' and create_dt > sysdate-(3/24)The value for CREATE_DT ---> TROLLEY.
select distinct from_lic, from_location, to_location, create_dt from trans where from_location like 'TROLLEY%' and to_location like 'UT_OPPLAST____' and create_dt > sysdate-(3/24)The value for CREATE_DT ---> OUTFEED.
select distinct from_lic, from_location, to_location, create_dt from trans where from_location like 'UT_OPPLAST____%' and (to_location like 'STG%' or to_location like 'UT_OPPLAST%GULV') and create_dt > sysdate-(3/24)The value for CREATE_DT ---> STAGING.
Originally I was thinking of a pivot for this, but there is possibly better ways to accomplish this.
I would like to have the data in the described format to make data mining easier.
The query will run on a table with >3M lines.
I hope this way of formulating the question is better, and more comprehensible.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions, and I'll do my best to answer.
I can test any suggested queries in the production database when necessary.

Help with query calculations (recursive)

Hi All,
I want some help with a query using a base rate and the result use in the next calculation year.
Here an example:
create table rate_type(
rate_type_id    number,
rate_desc       nvarchar2(50),
rate_base_year number
insert into rate_type(rate_type_id, rate_desc, rate_base_year) values (1, 'Desc1', 4.6590);
insert into rate_type(rate_type_id, rate_desc, rate_base_year) values (2, 'Desc2', 4.6590);
create table rates (
rate_type_id number
rate_year    number,
rate_value   number
insert into rates(rate_type_id, rate_year, rate_value) values (1, 2012, 1.2);
insert into rates(rate_type_id, rate_year, rate_value) values (1, 2013, 1.3);
insert into rates(rate_type_id, rate_year, rate_value) values (1, 2014, 1.4);
insert into rates(rate_type_id, rate_year, rate_value) values (2, 2012, 1.2);
insert into rates(rate_type_id, rate_year, rate_value) values (2, 2013, 1.3);
insert into rates(rate_type_id, rate_year, rate_value) values (2, 2014, 1.4);The calculation for the first year should be the base rate of the rate type. The next year should use the result of the previous year and so on.
The result of my sample data is:
2012 = 4.659 + 1.2 + 4.659 * (1.2 * 0.01) = 5.9149
2013 = 5.9149 + 1.3 + 5.9149 * (1.3 * 0.01) = 7.1859

How can I do this in one select statement? Any ideas?

Assuming you are on 11.2:

Help with query Condition

--Sample create/insert :
create table xxdummy(
id integer,
name varchar2(40),
description varchar2(100)
insert into xxdummy values (1,'L', 'Simple L press');
insert into xxdummy values (2,'XL', 'XL with no film');
insert into xxdummy values (2,'web', 'XL with no film');
insert into xxdummy values (3,'XL', 'XL with Film');

--drop table xxdummy;
select * from xxdummy;
select id, description, decode(name, 'L', 'L Only', 'XL', 'Got XLs here', 'dont know' ) type
from xxdummy
where name in ('L','XL' )
In above query for column type, I want to display 'L Only', 'XL With Film', 'XL Without Film'
How can I do this ?
Thanks

I should have explained more, but my mind is so fried making up sample replica of the data as its scattered over so many tables in the original query taht I couldnt put it properly:
another try :
column Description is just for my reference , So please ignore that for now.
I have to form a condition only using colums name and id.
select * from xxdummy :
id=2 and 7 , has name=XL but doesnt have 'Film' so I want to mark this row as 'XL with no film'
id=3 and 8 , has name=XL and also has name = Film, So label for this should be - XL With Film
id=4 , has name=S and also Film, --All the ids that have name=S, no matter if it has film with same Id should be excluded.
id=5, exclude it
id=1 and 6 have name = L , Lable them 'L Only' .
So I should basically have 6 rows returned in my sample data :
select id, description, name, decode(name, 'L', 'L Only', 'XL', 'Got XLs here' ,'dont know') type
from xxdummy
where name in ('L','XL')
how do I distinguish within id, that has name=XL : which one has film and which one doesnt
did it sound better ?

Need some help with query

Hey all, I have the following scenario,
Table A
Column1
2
3
5
Table B
Column2
7
5
4
Table C
Column1, Column2
2,7
3,8
5,10
So basically I need to compare in a way that the combination of the values in A AND B match the recordset in C as such,
select column1, column2 from Table A, Table B
where a combination of both those columns exists in Table C. Therefore in the above example, this query should return "2,7" as the output. Any ideas would be appreciated.

This should do?

Need help with query joining several tables into a single return line

what i have:
tableA:
puid, task
id0, task0
id1, task1
id2, task2
tableB:
puid, seq, state
id0, 0, foo
id0, 1, bar
id0, 2, me
id1, 0, foo
id2, 0, foo
id2, 1, bar
tableC:
puid, seq, date
id0, 0, 12/21
id0, 1, 12/22
id0, 2, 12/22
id1, 0, 12/23
id2, 0, 12/22
id2, 1, 12/23
what i'd like to return:
id0, task0, 12/21, 12/22, 12/22
id1, task1, 12/23, N/A, N/A
id2, task2, 12/22, 12/23, N/A
N/A doesn't mean return the string "N/A"... it just means there was no value, so we don't need anything in this column (null?)
i can get output like below through several joins, however i was hoping to condense each "id" into a single line...
id0, task0, 12/21
id0, task0, 12/22
id0, task0, 12/23
id1, task1, 12/23
is this possible fairly easily?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!

Whenever you have a question, it's even better if you post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, like this:
CREATE TABLE     tablea
(       puid     VARCHAR2 (5)
,     task     VARCHAR2 (5)
INSERT INTO tablea (puid, task) VALUES ('id0', 'task0');
INSERT INTO tablea (puid, task) VALUES ('id1', 'task1');
INSERT INTO tablea (puid, task) VALUES ('id2', 'task2');
CREATE TABLE     tablec
(       puid     VARCHAR2 (5)
,     seq     NUMBER (3)
,     dt     DATE          -- DATE is not a good column name
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id0', 0, DATE '2010-12-21');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id0', 1, DATE '2010-12-22');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id0', 2, DATE '2010-12-22');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id1', 0, DATE '2010-12-23');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id2', 0, DATE '2010-12-22');
INSERT INTO tablec (puid, seq, dt) VALUES ('id2', 1, DATE '2010-12-23');This way, people can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
It doesn't look like tableb plays any role in this problem, so I didn't post it.
Explain how you get the results from that data. For example, why do you want this row in the results:
PUID TASK DT1        DT2        DT3
id0   task0 12/21/2010 12/22/2010 12/22/2010rather than, say
PUID TASK DT1        DT2        DT3
id0   task0 12/22/2010 12/21/2010 12/22/2010? Does 12/21 have to go in the first column because it is the earliest date, or is it because 12/21 is related to the lowest seq value? Or do you even care about the order, just as long as all 3 dates are shown?
Always say what version of Oracle you're uisng. The query below will work in Oracle 9 (and up), but starting in Oracle 11, the SELECT ... PIVOT feature could help you.
i can get output like below through several joins, however i was hoping to condense each "id" into a single line... Condensing the output, so that there's only one line for each puid, sounds like a job for "GROUP BY puid":
WITH     got_r_num     AS
     SELECT     puid
     ,     dt
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY puid
                               ORDER BY         seq          -- and/or dt
                       )         AS r_num
     FROM    tablec
--     WHERE     ...     -- If you need any filtering, put it here
SELECT       a.puid
,       a.task
,       MIN (CASE WHEN r.r_num = 1 THEN r.dt END)     AS dt1
,       MIN (CASE WHEN r.r_num = 2 THEN r.dt END)     AS dt2
,       MIN (CASE WHEN r.r_num = 3 THEN r.dt END)     AS dt3
,       MIN (CASE WHEN r.r_num = 4 THEN r.dt END)     AS dt4
FROM       tablea    a
JOIN       got_r_num r ON   a.puid = r.puid
GROUP BY a.puid
,            a.task
ORDER BY a.puid
;I'm guessing that you want the dates arranged by seq; that is, for each puid, the date related to the lowest seq comes first, regardless of whther that date is the earliest date for that puid or not. If that's not what you need, then change the analytic ORDER BY clause.
This does not assume that the seq values are always consecutive integers (0, 1, 2, ...) for each puid. You can skip, or even duplicate values. However, if the values are always consecutive integers, starting from 0, then you could simplify this. You won't need a sub-query at all; just use seq instead of r_num in the main query.
Here's the output I got from the query above:
PUID TASK DT1        DT2        DT3        DT4
id0   task0 12/21/2010 12/22/2010 12/22/2010
id1   task1 12/23/2010
id2   task2 12/22/2010 12/23/2010As posted, the query will display the first 4 dts for each puid.
If there are fewer than 4 dts for a puid, the query will still work. It will leave some columns NULL at the end.
If there are more than 4 dts for a puid, the query will still work. It will display the first 4, and ignore the others.
There's nothing special about the number 4; you could make it 3, or 5, or 35, but whatever number you choose, you have to hard-code that many columns into the query, and always get that many columns of output.

Help with PL/SQL returning SQL query for Report

Hi
I have got a report which I have formatted as PL/SQL function body returning SQL query.
I have the following code
declare
q VARCHAR2(32000); -- query
w VARCHAR2(4000) ; -- where clause
begin
q := 'select min(identified_date) first_identified,' ||
' max(actual_resolution_date) last_closed,' ||
' count("HELPDESK_CALL_ID) total_issues,' ||
' from tbl_helpdesk_calls';
if :P9_call_type != '-1' then
w := 'HELPDESK_CALL_TYPE_ID = :P9_call_type';
end if;
q := q || ' WHERE '|| w;
return q;
end;
When I apply changes I get this error message
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. ORA-00972: identifier is too long
Any Idea where I maybe going wrong?

thanks its compiling now but when I run the page I get this error message in the reports region
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
This is my code that I have at the momment.
declare
q VARCHAR2(32000); -- query
w VARCHAR2(4000) ; -- where clause
we VARCHAR2(1) := 'N'; -- identifies if where clause exists
begin
q := 'select min(identified_date) first_identified,' ||
' max(actual_resolution_date) last_closed,' ||
' count(HELPDESK_CALL_ID) total_issues,' ||
' sum(decode(status,''Open'',1,0)) open_issues, ' ||

' from tbl_helpdesk_calls';
if :P9_call_type != '-1' then
w := 'where HELPDESK_CALL_TYPE_ID = :P9_call_type';
we := 'Y';
end if;
if we = 'Y' then
q := q ||w;
end if;
return q;
end;
I have a select list with a list of reports. what I am trying to do build an sql depending on what the :p9_call_type value is. -1 represents the display value of -All Reports- so if the user selects all reports it should display all results thus removing the where clause. However as my code stands when I user clicks on all reports he get the correct results for all reports. If the user selects anything else they get the error message above.

but I am working with dynamic statement and returning multiple fields into a collection.And using an INSERT...SELECT statement combined with a RETURNING INTO clause still does not work. Whether it's dynamic SQL or not: it doesn't work. The link describes a workaround.
By the way, I don't see why you are using dynamic SQL here. Static SQL will do just fine. And so you can literally copy Adrian's setup.

Help with query to determine if a record value has changed.

Our auditors want to know which items had their costs updated in March 2006. I'm querying the cst_standard_cost table to find records that were updated in March. This part seems to be working although it pulls back multiple rows for the same item if more than one update was done in that month. I'm still not sure how I'm going to handle that problem.
----cst_standard_costs-----
alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'MM/DD/YYYY';
drop table suss.cost_update_0306b;
create table suss.cost_update_0306b
as
select csc.inventory_item_id, mtl.segment1||','||mtl.segment2 "item", csc.organization_id,csc.standard_cost,csc.creation_date "creation_date"

where csc.inventory_item_id = mtl.inventory_item_id
and mtl.organization_id = '82'
and csc.organization_id not in ('0','81')
and csc.creation_date like '03/%/2006%'
order by csc.inventory_item_idHere, I'm trying to find if the update that was done in March actually changed the item's cost. But the sql is not exactly right. The results being returned are any cost update where the item's cost is different than it was in March. I'd like to pull back the item's cost from the most recent cost update previous to the March update and see if it differs from the March cost.
select csc.inventory_item_id,mtl.segment1||','||mtl.segment2, csc.organization_id,csc.standard_cost, csc.creation_date

and csc.organization_id not in ('0','81')
and csc.creation_date < scu."creation_date"
and csc.standard_cost <>scu.standard_cost

item id.....cost.........update_date
24..........45.00........03/01/2006
24..........45.00........02/01/2006
24..........30.00........02/22/2006
40..........45.00........03/01/2006
40..........30.00........02/01/2006
40..........28.00........02/22/2006
The results of the sql should be to return item id 40 because the costs changed in March but not item id 24 because the costs did not change in March

Something like this:
SQL> DESC COSTS;
Name                                      Null?    Type
ITEM_ID                                            NUMBER

UPDATE_DATE                                        DATE
SQL> SELECT * FROM COSTS;
   ITEM_ID       COST UPDATE_DAT
        24         40 03/01/2006
        24         45 02/01/2006
        40         45 03/01/2006
        40         30 02/01/2006
SQL> SELECT b.item_id, b.cost, b.update_date
2 FROM costs a, costs b
3 WHERE a.item_id = b.item_id
4   AND a.cost <> b.cost
5   AND a.update_date = ADD_MONTHS(b.update_date, -1)
6 /
   ITEM_ID       COST UPDATE_DAT
        24         40 03/01/2006
        40         45 03/01/2006It is maybe not efficient query but works :)
Another solution:
1 SELECT a.item_id, a.cost, a.update_date
2 FROM costs a
3 WHERE a.cost <> (SELECT cost
4               FROM costs
5               WHERE a.item_id = item_id
6                AND ADD_MONTHS(a.update_date, -1) = update_date
7*            )
SQL> /
   ITEM_ID       COST UPDATE_DAT
        24         40 03/01/2006

Need Help With Query Using Aggregation

If I have a table, defined like this:
CREATE TABLE range_test
range_id NUMBER(20) NOT NULL,
grade CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
lower_bound_of_range NUMBER(5,2) NOT NULL,
upper_bound_of_range NUMBER(5,2) NOT NULL,
received_date_time_stamp TIMESTAMP DEFAULT SYSTIMESTAMP NOT NULL
And I wanted to query the table to find the range associated with the last inserted row for each 'grade' (e.g. 'A', 'B', 'C', etc), how would I go about that?
I want something like the following, but I know that this won't work right:
SELECT
grade,
lower_bounding_of_range,
upper_bounding_of_range,
max(received_date_time_stamp)
FROM
range_test GROUP BY received_date_time_stamp;
Thanks for your help. . .I'm frustrating myself with this one and I think it should be possible without having to use PL/SQL (i.e. SQL aggregate functions or sub-queries should work).

Perhaps something along the lines of...

Query off of Oracle using WinSql - Need help with query

I am trying to query off of Oracle using program WinSql.
I have a table(tticpr200110) that has the following sample data:
ITEM     CODE     T$AMNT
23500076 ACL     .0049
23500076 APM     0
23500076 APO     .0093
23500076 EXP     .0001
23500076 RES     .0072
and what I want it to look like is:
ITEM     ACL     APM     APO     EXP     RES
23500076     0.0049     0     0.0093     0.0001     0.0072
(actually I need the last 2 columns added together to be MATL-but can deal with that down the road).
Seems simple enough, but I don't know to put into the columns.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as soon as possible would be even better.

My table - tticpr200110 when it runs I get the following sample data for part number 23500076:
The first coloumn ITEM is the part number.
The second column CODE is 1 of 5 different cost codes
The third column is the cost for that code for that part.
ITEM CODE AMNT
23500076 ACL 0.0049
23500076 APM 0.0000
23500076 APO 0.0093
23500076 EXP 0.0001
23500076 RES 0.0072
I want to make a query that makes the data look like this:
ITEM ACL APM APO EXP RES
23500076 0.0049 0.0000 0.0093 0.0001 0.0072
(similar to a pivot table in excel or acess)
I hope this helps better.
Thanks!

My IT department also made a few changes to my original query (see below) and told me it got rid of one of the full scans of the PACT table, but they aren't sure why it helped, and I have to say I'm suspect of any fixes where it's not understood why it helped.

Hi,
Well, let's see.
You get 156 rows returned using IN and 121 rows using exists.
You need identify the 'missing records' and conclude if that's correct or not, I'm not able to do that from remote, without knowing your data or system.
It would be helpful if we could see cost and cardinalities, you (or your IT dept.) can get them easily be running the queries from your SQL*Plus prompt.
Type
SET AUTOTRACE TRACEONLYbefore running the queries.
That gives you the explain plan and additional statistics (sorts in memory and sorts to disk).
Since you use a group by, and you're on 8i can you also post results of these queries:
select banner from v$version;
select name, value, isdefault from v$parameter where name like '%area%';Finally, does below query give you a different plan?
