Help with SQL join

I've got a query where I'm joining several tables. One of the tables (schedule_status) has no rows to match for the join and it's causing no rows to be returned.. What I need for it to happen would be to return a -1 for c_schedulestatusid..
This is what I have
select distinct li.location as locationid, li.city, li.state as stateid, li.descr as location,
s.state, sl.name as mgrname, 'default' as locationtype, c_schedulestatusid
from location_info li
left outer join states s on li.state = s.abbreviation
left outer join mvw_sm_location sl on li.location = sl.location
left outer join schedule_status ss on li.location = ss.location
where li.emplid = '0087890'
and year = 2007
and week = 11This is the part that returns no data
select c_schedulestatusid
from schedule_status
where year = 2007
and week = 11
and location = 4131I've tried using nvl() and a couple other tricks but I can't get it to work... Thanks!

Maybe it's bacause I don't have real/sample data.
here is my sample data, states and mvw_sm_location doesn't have any row
SQL> select * from location_info;
LOCATION   CITY       STATE      DESCR      EMPLID
4131                                        0087890

Need help with SQL Query with Inline View + Group by

Hello Gurus,
I would really appreciate your time and effort regarding this query. I have the following data set.
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*20.00*-------------19

4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765--------------------I---------------------30.00-------------19
Please Ignore '----', added it for clarity
I am trying to write a query to aggregate paid_amount based on Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number and display description with Invoice_type 'I' when there are multiple records with the same Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number. When there are no multiple records I want to display the respective Description.
The query should return the following data set
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*10.00*------------19

4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765-------------------I---------------------30.00--------------19
The following is my query. I am kind of lost.
select B.Description, A.sequence_id,A.check_date, A.check_number, A.invoice_number, A.amount, A.vendor_number
from (
select sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, sum(paid_amount) amount, vendor_number
from INVOICE
group by sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, vendor_number
) A, INVOICE B
where A.sequence_id = B.sequence_id
Thanks,

Help with Inner Join query in SQL

Hope someone can help with this, as this is quite an involved project for me, and I'm just about there with it.
My table structure is :
table_packages
packageID
package
packageDetails
etc
table_destinations
destinationID
destination
destinationDetails
etc
table_packagedestinations
packageID
destinationID
..so nothing that complicated.
So the idea is that I can have a package details page which shows the details of the package, along any destinations linked to that package via the packagedestinations table.
So this is the last part really - to get the page to display the destinations, but I'm missing something along the way....
This is the PHP from the header, including my INNER JOIN query....
PHP Code:
<?php
$ParampackageID_WADApackages = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['packageID'])) {
$ParampackageID_WADApackages = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['packageID'] : addslashes($_GET['packageID']);
$ParamSessionpackageID_WADApackages = "-1";
if (isset($_SESSION['WADA_Insert_packages'])) {
$ParamSessionpackageID_WADApackages = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_SESSION['WADA_Insert_packages'] : addslashes($_SESSION['WADA_Insert_packages']);
$ParampackageID2_WADApackages = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['packageID'])) {
$ParampackageID2_WADApackages = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['packageID'] : addslashes($_GET['packageID']);
mysql_select_db($database_connPackages, $connPackages);
$query_WADApackages = sprintf("SELECT packageID, package, costperpax, duration, baselocation, category, dateadded, agerange, hotel, educational_tours, field_trips, corporate_outings, plant_visits, budget_package, rollingtours, teambuilding, description, offer FROM packages WHERE packageID = %s OR ( -1= %s AND packageID= %s)", GetSQLValueString($ParampackageID_WADApackages, "int"),GetSQLValueString($ParampackageID2_WADApackages, "int"),GetSQLValueString($ParamSessionpackageID_WADApackages, "int"));
$WADApackages = mysql_query($query_WADApackages, $connPackages) or die(mysql_error());
$row_WADApackages = mysql_fetch_assoc($WADApackages);
$totalRows_WADApackages = mysql_num_rows($WADApackages);
$colname_educationalDestinations = "1";
if (isset($_GET['PackageID'])) {
$colname_educationalDestinations = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? packageID : addslashes(packageID);
mysql_select_db($database_connPackages, $connPackages);
$query_educationalDestinations = sprintf("SELECT * FROM destinations INNER JOIN (packages INNER JOIN packagedestinations ON packages.packageID = packagedestinations.packageID) ON destinations.destinationID = packagedestinations.destinationID WHERE packages.packageID = %s ORDER BY destination ASC", GetSQLValueString($colname_educationalDestinations, "int"));
$educationalDestinations = mysql_query($query_educationalDestinations, $connPackages) or die(mysql_error());
$row_educationalDestinations = mysql_fetch_assoc($educationalDestinations);
$totalRows_educationalDestinations = mysql_num_rows($educationalDestinations);
?>
And where I'm trying to display the destinations themselves, I have :
<table>
        <tr>
                 <td>Destinations :</td>
            </tr>
           <?php do { ?>
        <tr>
             <td><?php echo $row_educationalDestinations['destination']; ?></td>
        </tr>
        <?php } while ($row_educationalDestinations = mysql_fetch_assoc($educationalDestinations)); ?>
</table>
If anyone could have a quick look and help me out that would be much appreciated - not sure if its my SQL at the top, or the PHP in the page, but either way it would be good to get it working.
Thanks.

First off, you need to get the database tables so that there is a relationship between them.
In fact, if there is a one to one relationship, then it may be better to store all of your information in one table such as
table_packages
packageID
package
packageDetails
destination
destinationDetails
etc
If there is a one to many relationship, then the following would be true
packages
packageID
package
packageDetails
etc
destinations
destinationID
packageID
destination
destinationDetails
etc
The above assumes that there are many destinations to one package with the relationship coloured orange.
Once you have the above correct you can apply your query as follows
SELECT *
FROM packages
INNER JOIN destinations
ON packages.packageID = destinations.packageID
WHERE packages.packageID = %s
ORDER BY destination ASC
The above query will show all packages with relevant destinations

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:

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?

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)

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.

Where clause "where 1=1" help with SQL tuning

Hello Tuning experts,
Is it helpful to use "where 1=1" and then put all the joins and conditions in the "AND" statements of the SQL when writing SQL queries. I would like to know if it helps with query performance to write SQL queirs that way.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: oracle_developer on Oct 8, 2012 10:41 AM

You can see here that "where 1 = 1" is gone from the predicate info in the explain plan.
The optimizer simply discarded it.

Where to find help with SQL Developer installation?

Hi,
I just want to try out SQL Developer and compare its capabilities to TOAD's. Unfortunately, I am not PC software savvy and now am stuck with a SQL Developer (sqldeveloper-1.2.2998) installation problem. When I clicked on the .exe file, I got a blank SQL Developer screen - there is nothing in the screen except a heading that reads 'Oracle SQL Developer'...
Does anyone know of a blog or a site that I can get some help with problems like mine?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,
SQL Developer forum link:
"http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=260"
There are 2 versions of SQL Developer, with/without JRE.
Try out the full install version with JRE.

Help with SQL Server 2005 http Endpoint

I am trying to use mx:webservice to directly connect to a SQL
Server 2005 HTTP Endpoint. Is this possible. Is there going to be a
problem with crossdomain issues? If the Endpoint is actively
listening on port 80 then IIS cannot. So I cannot place
crossdomain.xml in webserver, how will I overcome this crossdomain
problem? Am I making this more complicated than it is? If anyone
has an example it would be appreciated. All I want is a flex2 app
talking directly to sql server. Seems possible.

Kent, I see that many others have reported that error (doing
a google search), but I see no ready answers. I saw something that
reminded me of a connection string value that I've seen answer some
problems. May be worth a shot for you: try adding this string to
the connection string (in "advanced options") for your datasource:
AuthenticationMethod=Type2
If it doesn't solve it, remove it. But keep it handy in case
it ever may help with some other problem.
Here's one other possible answer for you:

Sorry I can't be more clear for you.

Need help with self join query

Hello,
I have table A with the following data
oid parent_oid
10 4
4 2
2 2
12 6
6 6
parent_oid is the parent of oid. I'd like a query that shows the final parent of the oid. The result should show the following
oid final parent
10 2
4 2
2 2
12 6
6 6
I'm using Oracle 10g. I'm familiar with self joins, but that alone will not do the job. Thanks!

Hi,

... I'm familiar with self joins, but that alone will not do the job.You're absolutely right!
A 2-way self join would work for rows have no parent, or rows that are directly connected to their final ancestor (such as oid=4), but not for anything farther away.
A 3-way self-join would work for one more level away from the final row, but no more. That would be enough for the small set of sample data that you posted, but it would not work if you added a new row with parent_id=10.
An N-way self-join would work for up to N+1 levels, but no more.
You need something that can go any number of levels, such as CONNECT BY:
SELECT     CONNECT_BY_ROOT oid     AS oid
,     parent_oid          AS final_parent
FROM     a
WHERE     CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF     = 1
CONNECT BY     oid     = PRIOR parent_oid
     AND     oid     != parent_oid
;Edited by: Frank Kulash on Feb 22, 2010 7:09 PM
Upon sober reflection, I think that a Top-Down query, like the one below, would be more efficient than a Bottom-Up query, like the one above:
SELECT     oid
,     CONNECT_BY_ROOT     parent_oid     AS final_parent
FROM     a
START WITH     parent_oid     = oid
CONNECT BY     parent_oid     = PRIOR oid
     AND     oid          != PRIOR oid
;

Thanks Frank for taking time to look into this and providing sql. I will test is against use cases (mentioned below).
And I apologize for the typos. I had to change table and column names as it is policy of our company not to post data model details in public forums.
Requirement:
1. New cast ids will be added daily and these will get inserted into t_int_act and t_int_act_cas
2. t_cnf has 2 conf_cat_id configured 12 and 13 and each conf_cat_id will have same conf_values (same as t_int_act.frst_mrch_id) but actv_flg might be different (set to N for 12 and Y for 13). Need to fetch only active ones
3. t_cas_alt_nmnt will have cast_ids that are enrolled to receive certain mails if enrl_flg is Y for these. Not all cast_ids will have record in this table.
When a cast_id is enrolled by customer service, a record will get inserted with src_id = 2.
4. Requirement is to enroll new cast_ids created with frst_mrch_id matching t_cnf.conf_value where conf_cat_id in (12,13)
Match criteira:
If t_int_act_cas.cast_id exists in t_cas_alt_nmnt and have enrl_flg = 'Y' for cas_alt_id = 2 then
insert record with same cast_id, enrl_flg = 'Y' and css_alt_id = 3
If t_int_act_cas.cast_id exists in t_cas_alt_nmnt and have enrl_flg = 'Y' for cas_alt_id = 3 then
insert record with same cast_id, enrl_flg = 'Y' and css_alt_id = 2
If t_int_act_cas.cast_id exists in t_cas_alt_nmnt and have enrl_flg = 'N' for cas_alt_id in (2,3) and src_id = 2 then
Ignore this record.
if t_int_act_cas.cast_id not exists in t_cas_alt_nmnt then
insert 1 record each with cast_id, enrl_flg = 'Y' for css_alt_id 2 and 3
Hope above explanation makes sense.
By the way I tried below sql. Yet to test it for all use cases but it worked for the last two.
Note on PE_OR_PD column. I am just using this column to write separate inserts for css_alt_id 2 and 3.

Help with outer joins in Oracle!!

so far this is what i've come up with and the code below does not work. Can anyone please help me on how the sytanx of left joins and how to use multiple left joins in a single query in oracle?
SELECT a.*, b.Position_CD, c.Skill_CD, d.Team_Name, d.Team_Country, d.Club, e.Structure_Name
FROM Roster a, Roster_position b, roster_skill c, Team d, Team_Structure e
where (a.Roster_ID = ((b.Roster_ID= c.Roster_Id(+)) b.roster_id(+)).......
I dont' know how to add more left joins!
Here is the query I'm trying to duplicate (which is a query from Ms Access databaase which works fine).
SELECT a.*, b.Position_CD, c.Skill_CD, d.Team_Name, d.Team_Country, d.Club, e.Structure_Name
from ((Roster a LEFT JOIN (Roster_Position b LEFT JOIN Roster_Skill c ON b.Roster_ID=c.Roster_ID) ON a.Roster_ID=b.Roster_ID) LEFT JOIN Team d ON a.Team_CD=d.Team_CD) LEFT JOIN Team_Structure e ON a.Team_Structure_CD=e.Team_Structure_CD
ORDER BY a.Roster_Id;
Any help or comments are greatly appreciated

First,
I am not one of the leading SQL brains here...but I'm taking a stab, nonetheless.
Second,
Here's my best guess - and it seems to me that it should work as there are not two outer joins between any two tables. I hope I decoded your joins correctly - quite a mess that Access syntax!
SELECT a.*, b.position_cd, c.skill_cd, d.team_name, d.team_country, d.club, e.structure_name
FROM ROSTER a, ROSTER_POSITION b, ROSTER_SKILL c, TEAM d, TEAM_STRUCTURE e
WHERE a.roster_id = b.roster_id(+)
AND b.roster_id = c.roster_id(+)
AND a.team_cd = d.team_cd(+)
AND a.team_structure = e.team_structure(+);Third,
As an architect-dude, it seems to me that you have a serious
modeling problem to need so many outer joins in such a basic
grab of data. In any scale other than minute, the performance
of this model will suffer dramatically. Specifically, why can't
ROSTER have an equijoin with TEAM and with TEAM_STRUCTURE - as they
appear to be lookup tables...
Good Luck
(I'm certain you'll get better SQL from the others),

But the unmatching ids are not displaying when i am using the outer join..please help me..

Almost there.
In this case you need a partitioned outer join, partitioning by date_time:
SQL> Select ps.date_time
2       , ps.entity_id
3       , et.entity_id
4    from ps partition by (ps.date_time)
5         right outer join entity et on (et.entity_id = ps.entity_id)
6 /

Help with SQL & Form

Want to create a recordset using this SQL statement but I get a msg that says Enter a Select statement. Seems it only recognizes Select as first part of the statement. This query runs fine in SQL. Anyway around this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
IF EXISTS (SELECT DISTINCT t_aven_dc_site.__NAME, t_aven_dc_site._CONS_ID,
CASE WHEN t_aven_dc_site_1._COMPANY_NAME IS NULL OR
t_aven_dc_site_1._COMPANY_NAME = ' '
THEN 'NA'
ELSE t_aven_dc_site_1._COMPANY_NAME END
AS Consultant
FROM t_aven_dc_contact
INNER JOIN t_aven_dc_site AS t_aven_dc_site_1 ON t_aven_dc_contact._INTERNID = t_aven_dc_site_1._INTERNID INNER JOIN
t_aven_dc_site ON t_aven_dc_site_1._SPS_ID = t_aven_dc_site._CONS_ID
WHERE
t_aven_dc_site._IDB_CLNT_ID_N = 716166 )
Select Distinct t_aven_dc_site_1._COMPANY_NAME AS Consultant FROM t_aven_dc_contact
INNER JOIN t_aven_dc_site AS t_aven_dc_site_1 ON t_aven_dc_contact._INTERNID = t_aven_dc_site_1._INTERNID INNER JOIN
t_aven_dc_site ON t_aven_dc_site_1._SPS_ID = t_aven_dc_site._CONS_ID
WHERE
t_aven_dc_site._IDB_CLNT_ID_N = 716166
ELSE
Select 'NA' As Consultant

Acrobat in versions prior to 9 has the ADBC, Adobe Data Base Connection, object which through a series of function or method calls could interact with an SQL data base by passing the SQL statements as a parameter.
The ability to connect to an SQL data base is now limited to LiveCycle Designer forms.
